I only want to win over the fairy.

It has to be said that this simulation really left Bai Yi feeling extremely helpless.

This AI is completely incompetent.

Sigh, if I had known that this cultivation simulator had a newbie bonus of attempts, I wouldn't have wasted those attempts so easily. Instead, I would have tried my best to improve my rating so that I could grow stronger as quickly as possible.

But thinking about it carefully, apart from the few times with Jiang Yuehan, the other times seemed to be quite useful.

The fourth simulation allowed him to obtain the Human Emperor Sword, and the fifth simulation revealed that the Xuan Tian Sect was in danger, enabling him to return in time and successfully save his master. The benefits were numerous.

Wait a minute, could that special opportunity that allowed me to experience the peak White Emperor strength for twelve hours be compensation?

Thinking about it carefully, it is indeed very possible.

According to his memory, the White Emperor he experienced was himself in the fourth simulation. So why did such a great opportunity suddenly appear and allow him to merge with it? He didn't believe it wasn't a compensation from the simulator to deduct his rewards.

Hmph, considering you gave me the power to save my master, your family tree will be preserved for now.

Su Qingyu, who had been taking care of Bai Yi these past few days, noticed her senior brother's expression changing from pale to happy, and couldn't help but ask with concern, "Senior brother, are you alright? You don't look quite right."

Bai Yi casually replied, "I'm fine. But you, aren't you tired of taking care of me these past few days?"

"Not tired at all! Taking care of my senior brother is what I, as his junior sister, should do!" Su Qingyu replied energetically, even flexing her muscles to show that she was very energetic and not tired at all.

"What an adorable answer. Considering how hard you've worked, I'll give you a small reward." Bai Yi smiled and flicked Su Qingyu's forehead, transmitting a technique for using spiritual power that he had been researching over the years.

Su Qingyu was stunned for a moment when she suddenly felt as if something had appeared in her head. After reading through the extra information, she was immediately dumbfounded.

Bai Yi, assuming the other party was surprised by his skill, wore a smug smile. However, Su Qingyu's next words froze his smile instantly:

"This! This is amazing! Senior brother, how did you manage to transfer this knowledge into my head!"

If I could just have my senior transfer all the knowledge into my head, wouldn't I no longer need to memorize those boring books?!

Bai Yi: "..."

You're really putting the cart before the horse!

How could the various techniques for using spiritual power not be as attractive to you as this transmission method?!

"Sigh." He sighed and patiently explained, "This is a soul transmission technique. It can transmit your voice or what you want to tell someone to their mind. This technique is in the library of Tianxuan Peak. If you want to learn it, I will teach you later."

"Yay! Yay!! Thank you, senior brother!!!"

Su Qingyu's eyes suddenly lit up, and she jumped up from her chair excitedly. At the same time, a strong sense of admiration and respect rose from her heart.

Senior brother is indeed worthy of being called senior brother; he knows so much.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, she reached for her waist and pulled out a jade slip that an elder had given her, handing it to Bai Yi: "Senior brother, several elders visited Tianxuan Peak this morning, and they asked me to give this to you."

"What do those old guys want from me?" Bai Yi didn't understand why the elders wanted to see him, so he took the jade slip that was handed to him and read its contents.

Representatives from the Human Emperor Palace, the Immortal Crossing Sect, the Myriad Laws Immortal Sect, and Penglai Immortal Mountain have come to visit. The other major immortal sects have already left. However, the Human Emperor Palace insists on having an audience with the Great Emperor who recently appeared. They hope you can convey this to your sect leader and persuade them to leave.

How come these guys from the immortal sects are like leeches, we can't kick them away no matter what we do!

Whenever something happens, this group of shabby immortal sects arrives the fastest, and they come almost every time. Not only do they come, but sometimes they also come in a big show, making it difficult for the sect leader to show up. As a result, my master is socially awkward and dares not show up, so I can only go with the token that carries her aura.

However, the Emperor's Palace...

Tsk, the other major immortal sects are easy to deal with. After all, they are all among the nine major immortal sects. They can give face if they want and not if they don't. But the Human Emperor Palace is different. They have to give face when necessary.

Thinking about it carefully, it's quite ridiculous. Based on the previous simulations, Bai Yi already knew that when it came to the various immortal sects really needing to put in the effort, the face and orders of the Human Emperor Palace were as good as nothing. But at other times, everyone had to give them some face, so it was all just a superficial show.

"Why can't we just be firm and get rid of all these troublesome vanity projects? That way we can save ourselves a lot of trouble."

Although Bai Yi was very reluctant, he still had to go. After all, the name of the Human Emperor's Palace was there. If you disrespected the Human Emperor's Palace, it would be disrespectful to the ancestors of the human race. If word got out, people would definitely gossip about you.

"Your Majesty, since it is people from the Imperial Palace who have come to pay their respects, do I need to appear?"

At this moment, the Human Emperor Sword spoke up to remind Bai Yi that as the embodiment of the human race's fortune, and also a sword that only a true Human Emperor could wield, her birth meant that the Human Emperor's throne had welcomed its true master. With her as proof, the people of the Human Emperor's Palace would surely bow down in worship.

At least in the memory of the Human Emperor Sword, no one has ever dared to disrespect him.

Upon hearing the voice of the Human Emperor Sword, Bai Yi thought the method was indeed good. However, just as he was about to respond, a strange and irritable mature woman's voice immediately popped into his head.

'You don't need to get involved. Your presence will only make things more complicated. Rather than having you take action, I'd rather empower my master with the divine might of the Imperial Weapon. Then, whether they want to leave or not, they'll all get the hell out of here!'

Bai Yi: "???"

Who are you?

He followed the aura of the Emperor's Sword to his right and found a sword and a furnace placed on his wooden table. The sound he had just heard was clearly coming from the furnace.

"The Supreme Mysterious Furnace?"

'Master, what is it that you need me for?'

“…”

No, I don't remember your intelligence being that high.

Seemingly sensing Bai Yi's thoughts, the Tai Xuan Heavenly Furnace provided a detailed explanation.

'My original intelligence was indeed not at this level, but unfortunately, my original self was shattered and could have been declared dead. Fortunately, Master, you repaired me in time and poured an overwhelming amount of reincarnation power and spiritual energy into my body, filling both my body and mind to the brim, giving me ample nourishment, and allowing me to awaken my true self.'

"When you continuously poured your power into my body, I felt as if I had reached a new realm. That constant peak feeling, that burning sensation all over my body, was simply like becoming an immortal!"

"Ah, that feeling of being ripped to shreds and then painstakingly pieced back together by you, Master, and finally infused with your power—so much power that I couldn't bear it, the wonderful feeling of power overflowing from every part of my body—is truly unforgettable. I long to be treated properly by you again in a rough manner; that would surely be another unforgettable experience."

Bai Yi: "..."

Chapter 52 Madam, if anyone threatens you, please call us immediately.

The Tai Xuan Heavenly Furnace is the most treasured artifact of the Xuan Tian Sect, and it is also an imperial weapon personally forged by the Xuan Tian Emperor.

The Imperial Weapon is the personal weapon that accompanied the Great Emperor in his conquests across the eight wastelands. It is also the strongest weapon that the Great Emperor used to protect his descendants after his death. It is no exaggeration to say that it is an incarnation of the Great Emperor.

Hence the saying that an emperor's weapon can be passed down for a thousand generations.

Every imperial weapon is extremely proud. Only those who meet their standards can wield them. Otherwise, no matter how powerful you are, if you try to force them, you will only provoke their resistance and make them choose to self-destruct to fight you. They are truly chaste and fierce.

Excluding the Human Emperor Sword, an unusual weapon, the Tai Xuan Heavenly Furnace can be said to be the first and only imperial weapon that Bai Yi has come into contact with in reality.

Compared to the unpleasant girlish voice of the Human Emperor Sword, the Tai Xuan Heavenly Furnace is more suited to a mature, older woman.

Her voice was as sweet as honey, with a touch of allure. Every syllable felt like a playful, mature woman was right next to you, her warm, cherry-red lips pressed against your ear, her seductive voice and the unique, moist breath of a mature woman filling your senses. It made you itch to get closer to that voice and listen to her gentle whispers.

This alluring voice, full of tender charm, is incredibly soft, like a witch's whisper, especially the gentle concern, which seems to evaporate one's reason completely.

Listening to the sound of the Tai Xuan Heavenly Furnace, only one thought popped into Bai Yi's mind.

—Boss Cao, I suddenly understand you.

That gentle voice sounded like that of a married woman much older than you; just listening to it was enough to make your heart flutter. But the problem was...

The original owner of this "married woman" was not myself, but the Xuan Tian Emperor. However, due to various reasons, she now recognizes me as her master.

Holy crap! What kind of NTR storyline is this?!

Madam, if anyone threatens you, please don't be afraid. I, the God of War, hate minotaurs the most. Watch me take down a minotaur with one strike!

what?

The minotaur was actually myself, so it's alright now.

However, out of curiosity, Bai Yi couldn't help but ask Madam Tai Xuan Tian Furnace in his mind, "Um...aren't you the Emperor's weapon, Xuan Tian Da Di?"

"The Xuan Tian Emperor?" the Tai Xuan Heavenly Furnace said. "Oh, Master, are you referring to the blacksmith of my mother?"

"what?"

"Hmm! I am a new life born from my mother's corpse. Although I still look like my mother, my inner self is completely different."

"...Then wouldn't I be your father?"

"No, my master is my master. He is unique and more important than anyone else. As for my father, you should know that he is the one with the Heavenly Demon Emperor Spear and the corpse of that Heavenly Demon Emperor."

Your Imperial Weapon Realm is truly complicated.

Bai Yi's feelings were quite complicated. He hadn't expected that this Tai Xuan Heavenly Furnace was not the original model. He thought he had perfectly replicated it one-to-one, but it turned out that only the outside looked the same.

Since she was created by Bai Yi, there was a connection between the Tai Xuan Heavenly Furnace and Bai Yi. She could also sense the changes in her master's heart, so she gently comforted him, "Master, please don't be sad. Although I am not your mother, my appearance is exactly the same as your mother's, and I can perfectly replicate your mother's aura. When you use me, you will definitely not be worse than your mother."

Something feels off...

Although there was nothing wrong with what Tai Xuan Tian Lu said, Bai Yi felt that it sounded very strange, and even had the feeling that if he listened to a few more words, he would be arrested and imprisoned.

Forget it, I'll go check on those people at the Human Emperor's Palace first. As for informing Master Xiao Jinxuan...

Hmm, I feel like notifying her wouldn't be of much use. It's better not to notify her at all and let her play by herself in peace.

Inside the main hall of the Xuantian Sect.

Above the main gate, made of vermilion wood, hangs a black plaque made of golden nanmu wood, inscribed with two large characters, "Xuantian," written in a flamboyant style. Inside the main hall, cloud-patterned sandalwood beams serve as lamps, crystal and jade discs as curtains, pearls as curtains, and gilded pillar bases. The throne made of nurturing wood is draped with a silk canopy, embroidered with pearls, gold threads, and glass lilies. When the wind blows, the silk flutters, creating an illusion of being adrift in a cloud-covered mountain or a dreamlike sea.

The usually deserted Xuantian Hall was packed today, with several distinguished elders standing on either side of the hall, creating a grand and solemn atmosphere, yet also carrying a sense of impending doom.

Sitting on the right, Qiu Yuelian gazed at the group of Xuantian Sect elders opposite her, as well as the Holy Maiden Jiang Yuehan whom she had met just a few days ago, her heart already filled with impatience.

What on earth are these people from the Xuantian Sect doing?!

After being released by Xiao Jinxuan, she learned of the appearance of an unknown emperor. Through the residual aura within the Xuantian Sect, she immediately determined that it was Bai's aura.

The problem was that she was in Xiao Jinxuan's Daoist canon at the time and couldn't see the outside scenery. The disciples of Xuantian Sect with lower cultivation levels couldn't directly see the Emperor's face through the Emperor's divine aura. So she could only hope to find out Bai's identity and whereabouts from these elders. However, these elders kept giving her riddles. Even though she asked the elders in the Imperial Palace to support her, they still insisted on three "absolute principles".

They absolutely won't say, absolutely won't admit, and absolutely won't deny; the main point is that we know absolutely nothing about it!

Sitting next to Qiu Yuelian, the woman in the light blue elder's robe cupped her hands and politely asked, "Fellow members of the Xuantian Sect, when will we be able to pay our respects to that esteemed one?"

“How could we know where that person is or what he is thinking? Besides, our Xuantian Sect Master was injured in a battle with a Supreme Being, and he was injured while saving your Human Emperor Palace's Holy Maiden. Shouldn't your Human Emperor Palace show some appreciation?” an elder of the Xuantian Sect replied.

"Of course, how can one appear before the Emperor empty-handed? This is the list of gifts we have prepared; please take a look."

"No rush, no rush. I can't make the decision on this matter. How can we accept the gifts without the permission of that lord and the sect leader? Please wait a few more days, everyone in the palace. Once our sect leader has recovered a bit, he may have time to see you."

Qiu Yuelian had heard this kind of back-and-forth conversation at least ten times. Every time, the people from Xuantian Sect would find a new topic to steer the conversation away from the issue, and then when the Imperial Palace asked about it in detail, they would immediately resort to riddles, feign ignorance, and try to fool her.

It's clear that the Emperor Ming was summoned by himself, but apart from himself, it seems that all the high-ranking members of the Xuantian Sect know something, yet they just keep quiet!

A few minutes later, the Grand Elder of Xuantian Sect, who was in charge, sensed something and said with a smile, "Gentlemen of the Human Emperor Palace, you have been waiting for a long time. Our Xuantian Sect's leader has arrived."
