I only want to win over the fairy.

That snow-white-haired, red-eyed girl—who else could she be but Jiang Yuehan?

However, his gaze did not linger on the other person; he merely glanced at him before looking back at the road in front of him.

He only liked the fairy named "Jiang Yuehan" in the game, who only existed in the virtual game, not the real Jiang Yuehan.

He can still distinguish between reality and games.

Unlike him, who left on his own, Jiang Yuehan, who had just brushed past Bai Yi, suddenly stopped and turned back to look at that figure, her eyes flashing with conflict and complexity.

That person... I remember him as Bai Yi from Tianxuan Peak. He feels so familiar to me. Could he be "Bai"?

It felt both familiar and strange. She remembered the time she spent with Bai, but she couldn't recall Bai's appearance, background, or how he rose to prominence.

It doesn't matter if I can't remember; the white weapon will definitely remember its master's aura.

She gently stroked the nameless imperial weapon at her waist, which concealed her own aura, and asked it telepathically, "Is it him?"

At this moment, the imperial weapon was completely oblivious to Jiang Yuehan's words, as it was currently immersed in the joy of seeing its master again.

Ahhh! It's the master! It's the master's scent! Scream! It's the young and ignorant master!!! (Screams) (Twisting) (Dark crawling) (Crawling) (Writhing) (Dark writhing) (Rolling) (Crawling violently) (Twisting) (Spasms) (Hissing) (Wriggling) (Eerie growl) (Crawling) (Split) (Writhing) (Spasms) (Wriggling) (Twisted walking) (Unintelligible roars)

It hadn't seen Bai Yi for far too long, thousands of years. It longed to unleash its power immediately and throw itself into Bai Yi's arms, but it couldn't.

Because it has more important things to do!

After a moment of excitement, it replied firmly in a tone that was three parts decisive, three parts unquestionable, and four parts confident.

—It wasn't him.

Chapter 17 Bai Yi is truly a deeply sinful man.

No one knows about Jiang Yuehan's communication with the Imperial Weapon.

After obtaining the required cultivation method, Bai Yi naturally did not remain idle. He began to explain in detail to Su Qingyu the basic knowledge of cultivation, the outline of the cultivation method, the incantations, and the dangers of the cultivation world.

Of course, what I've said above is all useless stuff; he's only going to talk about the really important things now.

"Blue Fish, now that you have embarked on the path of immortality, all kinds of joys will be out of your reach before you attain enlightenment."

“You started late, only embarking on this path at the age of sixteen, so you need to put in more effort than others. For this reason, your senior brother has specially prepared a set of learning courses for you. Follow this course, and I guarantee you will establish your foundation within a year.”

As he spoke, Bai Yi placed a stack of books, about half a person's height, in front of Su Qingyu. These were books he had carefully prepared for her, including some he had written himself and some learning materials from his sect.

This includes, but is not limited to, "Detailed Explanation of the Basics of Formations", "Three Thousand Knowledge Points on the Circulation of Spiritual Power", "One Hundred Days to Accelerate Foundation Building", "Five Years to Prove the Dao and Three Years to Cultivate", "The Heavenly Profound Examination Paper", etc.

If you think that embarking on the path of cultivation means you don't need to study and only need to practice, then you are sorely mistaken!

Do you understand how many different trajectories exist for the circulation of spiritual energy?

Do you understand how to complete the Heavenly Dao Foundation Building during the Foundation Building process?

Do you know how to unleash the greatest burst of power with the least amount of spiritual energy during battle?

No, you don't understand, that's why you need to learn.

Su Qingyu: "..."

These books are more than what my teacher taught me in private school! And not just a little more, but at least ten times, maybe even nine times more!

"Senior...Senior brother, are all of these... necessary to learn?" Su Qingyu forced a smile, her eyes unconsciously glancing at the ridiculously large number of books, and she unconsciously swallowed.

People will... people will die, right?

Bai Yi smiled and said seriously, "These are all things that need to be learned. The path of cultivation is full of difficulties. If you don't make progress for a day, it's the same as regressing. If you can't even lay a good foundation, how can you expect to become an immortal in the future?"

"But this is too much..." Su Qingyu stuck out her tongue uneasily. She thought that cultivating immortality meant seclusion, taking pills, and seizing opportunities. This was so different from what she had imagined.

“If you yourself believe that you cannot complete it, then you truly cannot complete it.” Bai Yi said seriously, “Cultivating immortality is inherently going against the heavens. If you cannot even overcome the difficulties of getting started, then you cannot expect to overcome the subsequent tribulations, inner demons, and the struggle for the Great Dao.”

Bai Yi's bluntness was merciless, but what he said was true. If Su Qingyu embarked on the path of cultivation with a "live and let live" attitude, she was destined not to go far.

However, this is just the beginning, so there's no need to make things too difficult for a young girl.

“But you don’t need to worry too much.” Bai Yi reached out and rubbed Su Qingyu’s head, comforting her, “Cultivators have extremely long lifespans. These things may seem like a lot, but when you put them into the long lifespan of a cultivator, they don’t seem like a lot.”

Su Qingyu nodded. She understood that what Bai Yi said made perfect sense and was for her own sake. But young people are always playful, and who would want to spend their time on boring and tedious studies every day?

After Bai Yi's words of encouragement, she realized that she didn't have that many books after all.

As she spoke, she noticed a notebook tucked among the books. Out of curiosity, she pulled it out and began to read its contents.

The first page of the notebook was blank, except for Bai Yi's name and a line of large characters: "A Brief Analysis of the Influence of Spiritual Roots on the Path of Cultivation."

The content was quite boring, purely about the influence of different attributes and qualities of spiritual roots on people, but when she skipped over that, she found that the content that followed changed instantly.

[By circulating spiritual energy through various meridians, one resonates with the universe, absorbing its spiritual power for one's own use. The transformed spiritual energy is stored in the dantian. Upon breaking through to the Four Symbols Realm, the dantian transforms into a spiritual sea. The larger the spiritual sea, the more spiritual energy it can store.]

[Among these, the cultivation method is the catalyst, the meridians are responsible for transportation, the dantian is responsible for storage, and the role of the spiritual root is transformation. The higher the quality of the spiritual root, the more and purer the spiritual energy can be transformed, which is the role of a transfer station.]

[If that's the case, could we create an external device to replace the spiritual root as this intermediary...?]

That concludes the content; clearly, this was just a rough outline.

However, for Su Qingyu, a cultivator, she recognized every single word in the text, but when put together, she had no idea what it meant. She knew it was powerful, but she didn't know why.

Seeing that Su Qingyu was reading his notes, Bai Yi casually said, "Oh, that thing is a failed product of my previous research. If you are interested in spiritual roots, you can take a look at the first half. The second half is just useless toilet paper."

"Why? I think the second half is the important part," Su Qingyu asked, puzzled.

"Because the project involved is too massive, and for an external object to serve as a transit station, it needs to have a strong connection with itself. It's very difficult to make an artificial object have a deep connection with the body and soul. Rather than researching external organs to serve as spiritual roots, it's better to research artificial spiritual roots." Bai Yi spread his hands, looking helpless.

The path to immortality is long and arduous, but one lacks spiritual roots and is stuck at the Qi Refining stage—what a despairing situation this is!

Fortunately, I can now stack the power of reincarnation, which allows me to gradually improve all my attributes until I research and create an artificial spiritual root!

..........

Xuantian Sect, Wuji Pavilion.

The seven elders sat solemnly around the wooden table. Just now, they had learned from Yunzhai that an unknown imperial weapon was about to be born. It was the sect leader who had sent the message, which made them immediately realize the importance of the matter.

Only a thousand years have passed since the death of the previous emperor, and there will be a long period without an emperor in the future. Therefore, sects with imperial weapons hold absolute power.

One imperial weapon was enough for their Xuantian Sect to protect itself, so two imperial weapons...

All the elders had the same thought in mind—the leader of the nine immortal sects!

"This matter is of utmost importance; we must act immediately and obtain this imperial weapon at all costs!"

After reaching a consensus, the seven elders immediately dispersed and began to search for their confidants to secretly investigate the matter, striving to bring the imperial weapon into the Xuan Tian Sect before anyone else.

As a result, all nine major immortal sects made moves within a single day.

Xuantian Sect: The Imperial Weapon is about to be deployed. We must be prepared and seize it at all costs!

Wanfa Immortal Sect: According to spies within the Xuantian Sect, they have learned of a clue about the emergence of an Emperor Weapon, as well as a method to subdue it. We are already behind, but what we cannot obtain, they cannot obtain either. The order of the Nine Immortal Sects cannot be disrupted!

Purple Cloud Sword Sect: Imperial Weapon. I don't know if it's a sword. If it is, that's good. We might have a chance to seize it.

Buddhism: This is an imperial weapon, and it is destined to be with our Buddhist sect.

Unlike the nine great immortal sects, which all inspire passion, outside of them, in the Holy Maiden Palace, known as the Human Emperor's Palace, a black-haired girl stands quietly on a high platform, her hands behind her back, displaying the haughty demeanor of someone in a superior position.

The young girl was beautiful, her almost perfect figure draped in a dark feathered robe, which accentuated her ethereal and flawless temperament. Her hands, hanging down, were as white as jade, and her rounded hips, partially concealed by the fabric, outlined delicate curves, revealing a hazy beauty through the hem of her skirt. Her thighs were long and slender, and her bare, white feet touched the cold ground, exuding elegance without being seductive.

Holy Maiden of the Human Emperor's Palace - Qiu Yuelian.

Unlike the Nine Great Immortal Sects, the Human Emperor Palace never participates in worldly affairs. It only appears when the human race faces a crisis. It is the strongest line of defense protecting the world and the human race. Therefore, the news of the birth of the Imperial Weapon has no impact on them. However, the fact that the Imperial Weapon has no impact does not mean that other things have no impact.

Yesterday, something called "Cultivation Simulator" popped into her mind. After playing it once and discovering that she could get rewards, she began to frantically play the game.

For the first time, she progressed steadily, rising from a saintess to the palace master of the Human Emperor Palace. Just when she thought she would die of old age, the path to immortality descended upon the world. The supreme beings of the ten forbidden zones of life emerged one after another to compete for the qualification to become immortals. After discovering that they could not become immortals, they began to harvest the living beings of the world. She also died in the confrontation with the supreme beings.

The second time, she desperately searched for a way to break through to the Emperor Realm, or to cultivate an Emperor Realm expert, in order to quell the supreme beings in the forbidden zones of life. However, the previous Emperor had just died, and no one could become an Emperor within ten thousand years. Just when she was about to give up...

Someone has proven the truth!

That's right, a person named Bai from the Xuantian Sect suddenly attained the Dao of Emperor, and this Emperor immediately pursued and killed the Supreme Being in the Forbidden Zone of Life. This made her happy for a long time, because finally there was an Emperor who could protect the human race.

As a result, the White Emperor died less than two years later.

After the death of the White Emperor, the world entered a period of great prosperity, and countless chosen ones of heaven appeared one after another, but tragedy also began from there.

For some unknown reason, the cycle of reincarnation in the world went wrong, and the Heavenly Dao fell into a brief period of chaos. At the same time, the supreme beings who fought against the White Emperor and survived began to harvest life in the world in order to prolong their lives and heal their injuries, thus bringing about a terrifying dark upheaval.

The nine major immortal sects were almost completely wiped out, and less than one in a hundred beings remained in the cultivation world.

The Human Emperor's Palace was also completely destroyed in the struggle, and she also died in the struggle, becoming nourishment for the Supreme Beings.

The third time, she planned to go to the Xuantian Sect to find this person named Bai, hoping that he would join the Human Emperor Palace so that a great emperor could be cultivated for the human race. However, when she found him, he was already dead.

She was truly desperate. Because Bai had once become an emperor and possessed the divine aura of an emperor, she was completely unable to break through the fog and see through his growth path. She could only find him based on scattered clues.

Currently, she only knows three things: his name is Bai, he has a deep relationship with [Fairy Baiyue] Jiang Yuehan, and he is a disciple of the Xuantian Sect.

"I must go to the Xuantian Sect in person."

"Hopefully we can find that White Emperor."

Chapter 18: He is a member of the Xuantian Sect when he is in the Xuantian Sect, and a member of the Yongye Sect when he is in the Yongye Sect.

The process of teaching Su Qingyu was not particularly difficult, and Bai Yi successfully learned what a true genius was from her talent.

He easily broke through to the fourth level of Qi Refining after only the first time he practiced the technique.

While it's true that I gave the other person the pills, the fact that they were able to break through to the fourth level in one go is already a strong indication of their potential. You have to understand that it took me a whole week just to break through to the Qi Refining realm.

It took me about a month to break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining.

After glancing at Su Qingyu, who was sitting on the ground meditating with her eyes closed, Bai Yi thought that playing a couple of games while he had nothing else to do was a good option.

It's not good to always work hard; you must always pay attention to balancing work and rest.

[Start simulation...]

[Note: Since you have completed three simulations and successfully attained the Great Emperor status, you can now freely switch between text simulation and immersive simulation. Time in the immersive simulation is synchronized with time in the text simulation.]

[Do you want to start the simulation with an immersive experience?]

Immersive simulation...?
