[Suddenly, you felt your nerves tense.]
[You have been spotted.]
[When you realized this, only one thought appeared in your mind — run.]
[You knew, even though you had slight confidence in fighting that Phoenix-robed man and winning, you didn't have even a bit of confidence in confronting the other person and successfully escaping, let alone winning.]
[Soon, you successfully escaped the Ancient Ruins and came to the outside world. You sighed in relief after finding that you weren't being chased by the other party.]
[This time, after leaving the Ancient Ruins, surprisingly, you met Shen Mo, who hadn't been mentioned in the past simulation.]
Outside Simulation,
"This guy for sure is something." At the moment, Lin Chen understood that this guy was something more than he had anticipated.
Be it the battle in the previous simulation when he was fighting millions of cultivators while having the upper hand, or seeing through his disguise within a minute — both were incredible feats.
Inside Simulation,
[After meeting everyone, you boarded your flying spiritual treasure and headed toward the Holy-Sword Sect.]
[Soon, you returned to the Holy-Sword Sect.]
[After returning, you made your move on Ling Yujian, and from the way she acted, it seemed as if this was what she had always wanted.]
[Later, you married her.]
[Within the same year, you reconstructed Xia Bingming's body using the Recovery Card.]
[Later, when you had physical contact with her, you found that she was still a girl. You didn't know whether her husband had been an eunuch or if this was the magic of the Recovery Card.]
[In the 167th year, you refined a Void Pill of Daowen Grade with eight Elixir Patterns and underwent the pill tribulation within the Heavenly Tribulation Pagoda.]
[In the 168th year, you broke through to the Void-Refining Realm, only to find that your cultivation speed had increased greatly.]
[But even though your cultivation speed had increased, the gap between the Void-Refining Realm and the Fusion Realm had also increased significantly, which would take more time to fill than your God-Transformation Realm.]
[In the 170th year, you welcomed a guest with a bulging belly that surprised you greatly. Because she was the one you had met in the Ancient Ruins — the Saintess of Frost Cold Holy Palace, Xia Ruobing.]
[She came to propose marriage to you.]
[But before that, you asked her some questions, whose answers she summarized in a story.]
——
[It all began within the Competition of the Younger Generation of the Eastern Wilderness, in which she joined as an audience. The reason was obvious — to monitor the strength of her own peers.]
[Later, when she saw you, she fell in love at first sight.]
[But because she belonged to the Frost Cold Holy Palace, she wasn't good at confessing her emotions and also feared your rejection, which led her to miss that chance.]
[Later, within the Ancient Ruins, she met you again.]
[Even though you had disguised yourself, because of her Immortal Eyes, she saw through your disguise at a glance and suppressed you, thinking that if she did this or that and had a child with you, you would eventually accept her.]
[And the reason for her terrifying strength capable of subduing you was that her comprehension was many times stronger than yours, and she had comprehended the Law of Ice to its peak.]
——
[Listening to her explanation, you didn't know how to respond. But just as she had expected, later on, you eventually accepted her marriage proposal.]
[But what you didn't know was that even though what she said was true, it still wasn't the complete truth.]
[After all, you had condensed the Supreme Foundation of each realm and even had the Five Elemental Energy, which allowed you to stand out even in battles against cultivators of the same realm with the same foundation. How could she be your opponent with just a mere comprehension at the peak of a law?]
[But it couldn't be blamed on you because your comprehension of any law hadn't reached her level, so you couldn't assess whether what she said was true or not.]
[On the eve of the 171st year, you married her. After that, you took her to meet your other wives.]
[Just when you introduced Xia Bingming to her, a barely perceptible shock appeared on her face — which you didn't notice because all your focus this time was on Shen Qingyao.]
[In these years, you didn't know why, but your wife Shen Qingyao hadn't given birth and was still pregnant with your child.]
[You know what — in the previous simulation, Lin Wanqing was already ten years old at this moment, but she hadn't been born yet, which surprised you greatly. Maybe this was the work of your talent, Qilin Son, or there was some other reason behind it?]
[In this simulation, many weird things happened. First, Liehuo never appeared. Second, Shen Mo's presence outside the Ancient Ruins. And this was the third one. Among them, the first seemed the weirdest to you.]
[Soon, the introductions ended, and just like everyone else, she joined your harem and was sent to the Lin Family within the City of Holy-Sword, while you stayed within the sect.]
[In the 175th year, you quickly married off all your grown-up daughters.]
(System:— For smart people, only a small hint is enough!)
[In the 176th year, you headed toward the Western Wasteland to meet the Barbarian Tribe and fulfill your promise.]
[This time, you went alone. Because your current strength within the Void-Refining Realm was enough to defeat any Mahayana Realm cultivator easily, you didn't fear that they would attack you — and if they did, they would be digging their own graves.]
[After arriving within the Western Wasteland, you realized you had arrived above a barren forest. Fearing you would be affected by bad luck, you decided not to land there.]
[Even though you knew that making her your wife would bring huge benefits — maybe even a descendant with the aptitude for the Dao of Destruction or Calamity — the risk was your life, which you didn't dare to gamble on.]
[Soon, you arrived within the area of the Barbarian Tribe, which was covered by lush green forest. To you, who were quite fond of natural wonders, it was nothing but Heaven.]
[Though they didn't welcome you grandly, they still welcomed you quite enthusiastically, which you liked a lot.]
[Many years later, within the forest of the Barbarian Tribe.]
[At the moment, a normal arrow devoid of any spiritual energy was shot out, piercing a thick tree and passing through it.]
[The one who shot the arrow was you.]
[It had been four years since you arrived within the Barbarian Tribe. In these years, you learned many things — one of them being archery, or rather, the Law of Archery.]
[With it, you could shoot a fatal arrow without the support of any external energy, and the damage caused would depend entirely on your own skills.]
[Other than this, you also learned another law — the Law of Strength.]
[In this law, you had to increase your mastery over your blood and qi and unleash it in the most effective and fatal way. You could already tear a large hole in a mountain — and point to be noted, it had all been done using your vital energy without using your Prison-Suppressing Divine Body even a bit.]
["Husband, your talent in archery is remarkable." Just when you were deep in thought, a voice sounded from the tree you had just pierced. Leaning against a branch with an apple in hand stood a heroic figure — the Princess of the Barbarian Tribe.]
[In these years, you had married the other three unmarried princesses of the Barbarian Tribe.]
[Looking at her figure, you said, "Let's go on a hunt." Saying this, you walked away while her figure followed behind you, drool at the corner of her lips.]
[Soon, you found a monster, killed it easily, and started to cook it.]
[Till now, all your wives had arrived, and looking at your quick and efficient way of killing, one of your wives commented — a statement agreed upon by the other two — "Husband, your ruthlessness is no less than the Barbaric Ancestor mentioned in stories."]
[When you heard her mention the Barbaric Ancestor, many legends began to play in your mind — legends you had heard within the Barbarian Tribe.]
[One of them was that the Barbarian Tribe was a very ancient force and they were the descendants of the Barbaric Ancestor, who, because of his barbaric nature, was so ruthless that even the heavens begged for mercy.]
[But there were many such legends, and you didn't know which one was true.]
[Soon, you stopped dwelling on their legends and other things and began to think of your main reason for visiting the Barbarian Tribe.]
[In these past years, you had conducted much research and learned that the current Barbarian Tribe no longer possessed their signature technique — the Beast Inheritance Technique — which you had obtained in the previous simulation.]
[When you learned of this, you decided to return their ancestral technique in the form of a trade. The trade was — the method to condense the Holy Body of the Four Sacred Beasts.]
[Just as its name suggested, it was a method that allowed the possessor to condense the Holy Body of the Four Sacred Beasts — Azure Dragon, Golden Phoenix, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise.]
[Soon, the day arrived, and you presented your deal, which they accepted easily.]
[Because within the method, there was a paragraph written — "The purer the beast blood the user possesses, the faster the speed of condensation of the physique."]
[And in this era, if you killed a noble beast bloodline to cultivate this method, you would be hunted down by their entire race — and they didn't think you would do so.]
[To them, it was a deal of your loss, but they didn't know that you possessed the Blood-Devouring Demonic Technique, which allowed you to purify a beast's blood to the level of their ancestral beast blood.]
[Soon, you finalized the deal with them, but at the end, they added a condition — you had to take an oath not to leak the Beast Inheritance Technique.]
[Knowing their condition, you also put forward one — that you yourself would teach this method to the sisters of the Princess of the Barbarian Tribe, which they had to agree to. Later, after finishing the deal, you began to take a Heavenly Oath.]
["I, Lin Chen, under the witness of Heaven and Earth, swear upon the graves of my ancestors that I will never teach the Beast Inheritance Technique to others except the sisters of the Princess of the Barbarian Tribe."]
[Here, "sisters" corresponded to all your other wives. After all, when they met, they would call each other sisters — which was exactly what you wanted.]
[Just like that, you obtained the Condensation Method of the Four Sacred Beast Body.]
[There were four chapters within the book, each corresponding to a different beast.]
[After finishing all the deals, you returned to the Lin Family in the City of Holy-Swords with the other three girls and introduced them to each other.]
[Later, you arrived at the ancestral tablet of the Lin Family.]
[In these years, you had set a rule — provoking people with the surnames Xiao, Ye, Chen, Lin, Feng, Su, Qin, and Ming was tantamount to death. Especially people with the names Tian, Changsheng, Yan, or Chen should not be provoked. If found, the only outcome would be death.]
[But in reality, you wouldn't kill them — you would let them escape to a distant place where none of your lineage existed, and you would personally deal with their mess. After all, when else would the ability provided by your luck be used?]
[Later, you arrived at the main hall of the Lin Family and opened the Ghost Gathering Jade Box, in which a purple-colored soul-type pill had been generated. You rewarded it to the greatest contributor of the year.]
[Soon, just when the other person consumed the pill, you felt your soul strength increase by a small amount.]
[In these years, you had cultivated your soul strength to a terrifying level, only to find that the feeling of increasing comprehension with soul strength was a myth.]
[Now you understood — comprehension was an innate thing already determined from birth, and breaking its shackles was more difficult than increasing aptitude, which you had already done many times.]
[Just like that, many years passed, and soon the day of the start of the Four Regional Hunting Competition arrived.]
