It's just a simulation game, how did the fairy become real?

[Shushan seems to be the name of the mountain they are standing on, and the character for "sword" is a tribute to their master.]

You built a simple thatched hut in these mountains and fields.

The giant stone inscribed with the words "Shushan Sword Sect" has been carelessly tossed aside by you.

Aside from your daily studies, you seem to have no intention of taking on any disciples.

[Lu Wuyai has advised you several times, wanting to select some promising talents for you.]

After all, you have received the Celestial Master's true teachings from everyone under heaven, and now that you have reached the Nascent Soul stage, it is time for you to pass on your skills.

[You simply rejected Lu Wuyai's kindness multiple times, only telling him that the time wasn't right.]

Moreover, you prefer fate to selecting disciples from various sects.

Even Lu Wuyai, who always talked about cause and effect, was speechless when you said those words.

However, he didn't say much more.

Time flies by, and that thatched hut has become quite dilapidated.

The Shu Mountain beneath you has also become more imposing.

This is not just a psychological feeling, but a real change.

[You've placed numerous formations on this mountain, and all the magical artifacts you've crafted over the years have been carelessly left behind.]

The abundant spiritual energy and the accumulated magical artifacts made the entire mountain appear transcendent.

At the foot of the mountain, a large crowd had gathered, and they were saying that an old immortal lived on the mountain.

Many people wanted to go into the mountains to pay their respects, but no one was able to remain inside before nightfall.

A white fox has appeared beside you; it's the little creature you casually rescued in the forest.

[Under the influence of various spiritual beings, the little fellow's eyes and posture seem to be becoming more and more like a person.]

The days seem to go by the same every day, but you still enjoy it immensely.

It seems you've forgotten the pride you felt when you stood atop that boulder, founding your own school of thought.

Compared to establishing your own sect, you seem more like a reclusive cultivator.

[Until one day, a figure barged into your formation without any hesitation, appearing before you in a flurry of activity.]

[After a long absence, He Xingyao's aura had become much more restrained. She had already reached the peak of the Golden Core stage, but had not yet chosen to break through.]

The Thousand Machines Sect had already prepared the best conditions for her; staying here was her choice.

The first thing He Xingyao did upon arriving was to find a pair of scissors and follow you around, shaving off all the beard on your face.

[He was muttering and cursing, saying things like a young man trying to act like an old man.]

Your white fox, hiding to the side laughing, couldn't escape He Xingyao's wicked clutches either.

He Xingyao's puppets seem much more effective than your Taoist magic. Or perhaps you simply didn't want the hassle before.

[He Xingyao built a "palace" right next to your thatched hut.]

[And it was given a name that might surprise you: the Palace of Leisure!]

Although He Xingyao is a female spirit, her heroic spirit is second to none.

He Xingyao was like a restless flame, revitalizing you from your somewhat lifeless state.

You suddenly realize something.

The grief you feel over the departure of the Celestial Master is far more profound than you anticipated.

So much so that you become completely absorbed in it without even realizing it.

He Xingyao seemed to have realized this long ago.

She came to you seemingly effortlessly, but in reality, she was under immense pressure.

The daily arguments that resound within the Hall of Leisure have long been proof of this.

[You were just too oblivious before to notice this.]

You stood there, staring blankly at the chattering girl, and inexplicably recalled the first time you met him.

At that time, she didn't care who you were; she just wanted to make fun of you.

Now, she's doing everything she can, seemingly just to make you laugh again.

You opened your arms and, without warning, pulled He Xingyao into your embrace.

The sudden turn of events left this lively and cheerful girl completely bewildered.

However, her rapidly beating heartbeat revealed her unease.

Finally, He Xingyao pushed you away.

This usually fearless girl, for once, showed a rare expression of shyness.

You smiled gently, and the pent-up emotions in your heart had long since vanished.

However, with just a single thought, a tremendous change occurred on Mount Shu.

Grand halls rose from the ground one after another.

After a long and arduous process, the Shu Mountain Sword Sect finally began to resemble a proper sect.

Your voice echoed down the mountain.

One month later, the Shushan Sword Sect officially opened its doors and began accepting disciples.

Anyone without a sect is welcome to ascend the mountain.

[Those who pass the trial can become disciples of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.]

[And a month later, you will also help He Xingyao overcome the tribulation of lightning in front of everyone, and achieve the Nascent Soul stage.]

This news caused a stir in all directions.

No one expected that you, who had been silent for so long, would suddenly stir up such a huge wave.

The number of spots for witnessing the tribulation was limited, but all the various sects wanted to see it for themselves.

Everyone wanted to see how the one who had survived the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning helped others overcome their tribulations.

Suddenly, the viewing tokens you casually made were being sold for exorbitant prices.

He Xingyao was equally surprised by your decision.

[Her being stuck at the Golden Core Perfection stage is indeed partly due to you.]

But more than anything, He Xingyao felt that she was not adequately prepared.

[For the Thousand Machines Sect, He Xingyao is also a genius rarely seen in thousands of years, especially after she obtained that bracelet, her talent was fully unleashed.]

[One reason He Lianxiong wouldn't allow her to leave the Thousand Machines Sect was that he was concerned that He Xingyao's unexpected situation might prevent her from suppressing her cultivation level, leading to a hasty breakthrough.]

Faced with He Xingyao's concerns, you only gave the simplest response.

You've brought out all the resources you've accumulated since leaving Longhu Mountain.

[Formations, elixirs, magical artifacts...]

The vast majority of these were created by you; only a very small portion were treasures taken from Lu Wuyai's collection.

With these things present, even without you there, He Xingyao will still be able to survive the tribulation.

Not to mention, when you advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, you fought a fierce battle with that monster.

[For you, the tribulation lightning is more like nourishing sustenance than destructive power.]

With you present, He Xingyao can use the lightning to temper her body without any worries.

[No more than ten days after the news was released, Lu Wuyai appeared before you.]

Judging from his travel-worn appearance, he most likely rushed back without stopping.

"As expected, a true confidante is still the best choice~"

It works better than any other time I've used it!

Lu Wuyai said jokingly to the two people in front of him.

The relationship between He Xingyao and Daosheng has become noticeably closer.

Daosheng was no longer like before; he appeared calm, but in reality, he was filled with a deathly aura.

I felt young and energetic all over again.

Upon hearing this, He Xingyao's face flushed considerably.

Daosheng, however, was quite thick-skinned, looking at Lu Wuyai as if nothing had happened.

"Are you here to join in the fun?"

"How fresh it is!"

Now, everyone in the world knows that you're about to do something big.

Of course I had to come and join in the fun.

"Now that you've seen the future Nascent Soul cultivator, you should at least give me a gift."

Daosheng extended his hand directly to Lu Wuyai.

Lu Wuyai's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.

When did he become so generous that even a newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivator could send him a gift upon meeting him?

"I've made all the preparations. When that day comes, I'll be able to see you."

Lu Wuyai finally relented.

Daosheng smiled, then found an excuse to send He Xingyao aside.

Once inside a grand hall, the relaxed expressions on their faces vanished.

"what's up?"

"The places that the Celestial Master pointed out back then are now having problems."

The space fluctuates violently.
