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

You are suffering the consequences.

[You are dead. 】

"Failed so quickly? Was it really too early to break through now?"

Su Chen frowned; even as he kept adjusting the details, he still couldn't stop the imbalance.

It's like a giant and a dwarf.

Even if the middle is aligned, the two sides will never be aligned.

Finding a balance felt like an almost impossible task for Su Chen.

"Now we can only try the second option. If we can't hide, then we'll have to consider escaping from the clutches of those in the Integration Stage."

Choose 2!

This time, it's the demon realm that's involved. Peony can't offer you any help; you'll have to rely on yourself.

Although you don't know who the Demon Realm sent to this Nascent Soul stage cultivator, based on the information Peony gave you before, the most likely candidate to appear before you is a Roc demon.

The opponent is not only extremely fast, but also exceptionally skilled in searching, and possesses powerful, penetrating claws.

[The opponent even possesses a record of fighting against a mid-stage Fusion Realm expert.]

Such an existence is absolutely impossible for you to confront head-on. The moment you expose yourself to it, you're likely doomed.

You carefully conceal your whereabouts and frequently change your location, constantly praying that the other person will be slower in discovering you.

[At the same time, you are frantically using that ring to hone your soul, wanting it to reach a level sufficient to support your breakthrough as quickly as possible.]

However, things didn't go as planned.

You didn't last long before being defeated by that friend.

The Peng demon has been found.

[Appearing before you at the same time is a demonic cultivator in the Integration Stage.]

For you, this is a hopeless situation with no way out; you have no choice but to fight to the death.

You were easily captured. All your attempts to resist were like child's play, utterly futile in their eyes.

[You are dead. 】

【…】

"Two cultivators at the Fusion Stage have found me almost simultaneously. I can't hide from them, and I can't break through their limitations. How can I break this deadlock?"

Su Chen was at a loss. Even if he intervened personally, he would find it difficult to find a way to break through the situation.

"Once that Peng demon leaves the demon realm, it won't be long before it comes after me. Unless I can find a powerful force to protect me, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to get through this."

Su Chen carefully studied the other party's behavior. He then realized that the Peng Demon hadn't spent much time finding him at all.

In other words, his methods of concealment were completely ineffective.

"Two early-stage cultivators, or even more—what kind of sect could withstand such a person?"

There are not many sects that possess the combat power of the Integration Stage.

They also need to be able to withstand the power of multiple fusion stages, which further reduces their numbers.

"Forget it, let's treat a dead horse as a live doctor."

intervention!

After a wave of dizziness, Su Chen entered the game.

At this moment, he was in a makeshift thatched hut, with the information that Peony had just given him through a channel beside him.

Everything around me felt both strange and familiar.

"Is this the power of the Nascent Soul Realm? It's far stronger than the Core Formation Realm."

Su Chen carefully assessed his cultivation level before starting to make plans.

"I've made a name for myself now, and if I joined an ordinary sect, I would definitely be treated as an honored guest. But when it comes to the number one sect in the world, the Xiaoyun Sect, I might not be able to get in smoothly."

The reason why the Xiaoyun Sect is known as the number one sect in the world is because both its main and deputy sect leaders are at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Moreover, the Xiaoyun Sect also has a reclusive ancestor who, according to rumors, was already at the late-stage of the Nascent Soul realm many years ago.

The last time that ancestor made a move was a few years ago when the Daoist sect was destroyed, when he directly drove back the troublemaking demon king.

Even without that patriarch, these two sect leaders alone are enough to intimidate other forces.

"I can't worry about that now. I'll just go and try. If I get rejected, I'll think about other things later."

Su Chen had a few options in mind; there were quite a few sects that could withstand the early stages of the Integration Realm.

Even if Xiaoyun Sect rejects him, he still has a few backup options.

On the mountain gate of the Xiaoyun Sect, the sect leader, who was originally in meditation, suddenly opened his eyes.

After calculating with his fingers, the expression on his face immediately became much more serious.

"How could this happen? Everything was fine just a moment ago, how could my luck suddenly take such a turn for the worse? Is my fortunes starting to decline?"

Just as the sect leader was filled with doubt and uncertainty, his door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man who looked similar to him strode in. The man was none other than the deputy sect leader of the Xiaoyun Sect.

"Big brother, did you feel it too?"

Yes, these two are brothers.

"It seems you foresaw this as well." The sect leader nodded.

"It seems someone from the Xiaoyun Sect is coming. They appear to be the true source of all this. Should we just send them away?"

The deputy sect leader suggested softly that the situation in the world was becoming increasingly severe, and as the leaders of the Xiaoyun Sect, they had to become more rigorous in order to lead the entire sect through the crisis.

"I have a feeling that if we just push the person away so easily, something even more uncontrollable will happen. Let's find out who this person is first, and then make a plan."

The sect leader calculated again and again, and it seemed that whether they rejected the visitors or accepted them, the Xiaoyun Sect was destined to face a disaster.

The only difference is that they can choose how they die.

When Su Chen arrived near the Xiaoyun Sect, before he could figure out how to enter the mountain gate, someone came to his door.

"As expected, they are the number one sect in the world. They even predicted when I would arrive!"

Su Chen sighed inwardly and followed closely behind the disciple, step by step, into the interior of the Xiaoyun Sect.

Not long after, he met the legendary Sect Master of Xiaoyun Sect.

"No wonder I always felt there was a familiar aura about you; it turns out you used to be a member of the Taoist sect."

The sect leader only needed a few glances to discern Su Chen's background. There were many renowned body cultivators, but none had ever achieved what Su Chen had: consecutively eliminating nearly twenty Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the same or even higher realms in less than a year.

More importantly, this guy actually survived.

"To be honest, I came to Xiaoyun Sect with a request, and I hope the sect leader can grant it."

Su Chen didn't stand on ceremony and went straight to the point. Since the other party could predict when he would arrive, they probably knew the real reason for his visit.

"It's not really a request, fellow Daoist, please tell me what it is about first."

The sect leader showed no reaction on the surface, but in reality, he had already deduced several possible reasons.

However, in his view, those things should not have become the beginning of the sect's decline.

However, in his calculations, the sect was destined to slide into the abyss.

"I might be hunted down by cultivators at the Integration Stage, so I would like to ask your sect to protect me. I am willing to pay a price, as long as your sect can take me in for a period of time."

Su Chen didn't try to hide anything; he didn't have time to play games with the other party. If they refused outright, he would have to find the next one.

However, upon entering, Su Chen noticed that their protective array wasn't without its flaws. With a little effort, he should be able to bypass the array and hide inside, allowing the Xiaoyun Sect to protect him.

"Is it just a pursuit by cultivators at the Integration Stage?" the sect leader pressed.

"It's just a pursuit by those in the Integration Stage." Su Chen nodded in confirmation.

This time, however, the sect leader fell into a long silence.

He could predict the approximate strength of the Nascent Soul stage cultivators who would come to attack, and even knew that they posed no threat to the sect.

However, the fate of the Xiaoyun Sect could never be properly resolved.

The attack during the fusion period seems to be just the beginning.

Whether he chooses to or not, his contact with Su Chen now, from the moment the other was being hunted down, seems to have set the wheels of fate in motion.

It seems that the Xiaoyun Sect is bound to the other party.

"Since the sect leader is unwilling to help, I will not bother you any longer and will take my leave now."

Su Chen got up to leave. His time to personally intervene was limited, and he didn't know when he would be able to exit this situation. He could only make the most of every moment.

"Fellow Daoist, please wait!"

Just as Su Chen got up to leave, the sect leader suddenly spoke.

"Why don't you become a guest elder in my sect? The Xiaoyun Sect can provide you with protection, but that's all we can offer. And we'll need you to answer questions for our disciples."

May I? "

Upon hearing the sect leader's words, Su Chen agreed without hesitation.

As long as he can be saved, given time, I will surely be able to break through and enter the Integration Stage.

What he lacks now is time!

As Su Chen easily followed the sect disciples to his residence, the vice sect leader appeared before the sect leader.

"Big brother, what are you doing? Weren't you going to kick this kid out? Why are you keeping him here? This guy is a jinx; keeping him in the sect will cause big problems!"

"Do you think I want to keep him?" The sect leader said with a wry smile. "If we kick him out, the sect will never have peace again. Keeping him by our side might give us a chance to turn things around."

During the long silence, the sect leader calculated again and again, concluding that the sect could not escape the calamity.

Even kicking Su Chen out would cause the sect to face more problems.

Faced with two evils, the sect leader had no choice but to keep Su Chen.

"Pass down the message to all disciples outside the mountain gate to be extra careful, and to be prepared for the arrival of the Integration Stage at any time."

"The Integration Stage? Could it be that the Demon Realm is seeking revenge? Unless the Demon King himself comes, it's useless for anyone else to do anything."

The deputy sect leader immediately realized that this kid had killed too many demons before, and this time he had probably really angered the demon realm.
