Chapter 150: New Opportunities
"That medicinal garden actually belongs to the Profound Yin Palace!"
Li Changsheng frowned slightly.
After spending three months on Golden Lion Mountain, he was no longer the clueless newcomer to the Chaotic Star Domain. He now knew that the Profound Yin Palace was one of the top forces in the Profound Yellow World, with a Golden Immortal overseeing it.
Moyan Mountain's backer was the Profound Yin Palace, and the medicinal garden contained treasures like Dragon Bone Grass, making it one of the most valuable gardens in the Profound Yin Palace.
If they were discovered, the Profound Yin Palace would definitely not let it go.
When Golden Lion Mountain first moved to the Chaotic Star Domain, it had clashed with the Five Elements Sword Palace. If the Profound Yin Palace and Golden Lion Mountain went to war, the Five Elements Sword Palace would likely get involved as well.
As for the Golden Lion, the Golden Immortal backing Golden Lion Mountain, he was attacked by a mysterious Golden Immortal before even leaving the demon territory. Could this be related to the Demon Court?
Human Golden Immortals wouldn't dare to openly enter demon territory.
The more Li Changsheng analyzed the text from the simulator, the deeper his frown became. His original plan was to join Golden Lion Mountain, stabilize his development for a while, earn enough spirit stones, and then rapidly increase his strength.
But now, it seemed that living a peaceful life would be difficult.
"Is the Third Prince of the Demon Court insane?"
"He traveled all this way just to cause trouble for me?"
Li Changsheng said with some annoyance.
In the simulation, among the three Celestial Immortals he killed in Golden Lion City, one was a demon. Combined with the fact that the Third Elder went to the Demon Court to demand justice for him and returned severely injured, it was almost certain that the demon Celestial Immortal was from the Demon Court.
He even suspected that the mysterious powerhouse who blocked the Golden Lion, the Golden Immortal, when Cang Jian Zhenren and Profound Yin Ancestor attacked, might also be from the Demon Court.
The Demon Court was no ordinary force. It could be said that the Demon Court was the strongest demon faction in the Profound Yellow World, with several Golden Immortals.
On the human side, only the Heavenly Palace could rival it. Other top forces like the Five Elements Sword Palace and the Profound Yin Palace, although they had Golden Immortals, were no match for the Demon Court.
"If I'm targeted by the Demon Court, things could get dangerous for me!"
Li Changsheng said softly.
[Simulation ends. You may retain one of the following.]
[1. The cultivation level at 200 years old.]
[2. The combat experience at 200 years old.]
"Choose option one."
Li Changsheng made his choice without hesitation.
A surge of immortal energy was born in his dantian, easily breaking through the bottleneck of the small realm and advancing him to the mid-Celestial Immortal stage.
"Before reaching the True Immortal realm, it's all about accumulating and solidifying immortal energy to prepare for condensing a True Immortal body. Breaking through isn't too difficult."
After a while, Li Changsheng murmured to himself.
"Let's try again and see if laying low works."
[Simulation begins.]
[At 148 years old, you choose to go into seclusion on Golden Lion Mountain. The Third Prince of the Demon Court arrives at Golden Lion Mountain demanding to see you, but you do not leave seclusion.]
[At 190 years old, the conflict between Golden Lion Mountain and Moyan Mountain intensifies, plunging the entire Chaotic Star Domain into chaos. While pursuing disciples of Moyan Mountain, Fu Hai discovers a secret medicinal garden belonging to Moyan Mountain. He returns to Golden Lion Mountain and gathers you all to discuss stealing the medicinal herbs, but you refuse.]
[You warn them to be cautious!]
[While stealing herbs from the medicinal garden, Fu Hai and the others are discovered and killed by a Mystic Immortal from Moyan Mountain.]
[Golden Lion Mountain is shaken. The Lion Ancestor personally comes out of seclusion and attacks Moyan Mountain.]
[Although the two Mystic Immortals of Moyan Mountain fight desperately, they are no match for the Lion Ancestor and are killed on the spot.]
[At 191 years old, Profound Yin Ancestor attacks but is driven out of the Golden Lion Star Domain by the Lion Ancestor.]
[Three months later, Cang Jian Zhenren from the Five Elements Sword Palace and Profound Yin Ancestor arrive together. The Golden Lion from the demon territory also comes, but is intercepted by a mysterious powerhouse on the way.]
[The Lion Ancestor fights two Golden Immortals alone but is defeated.]
[Golden Lion Mountain is wiped out. You die!]
...
That's it?
Li Changsheng looked at the text on the simulator, feeling a heavy weight in his heart.
In the simulation, he had even warned Fu Hai and the others to be careful, but they were still killed by a Mystic Immortal. Fu Hai and the others were the hope of Golden Lion Mountain's younger generation. With them wiped out, it was natural for the Lion Ancestor to be furious.
However, once Golden Lion Mountain and Moyan Mountain went to full-scale war, the destruction of Golden Lion Mountain would not be far off.
"I can't just follow the usual path!"
Li Changsheng said in a low voice.
Originally, he had planned to join Golden Lion Mountain, find opportunities to earn spirit stones, and then slowly develop while laying low. But now, with his growing reputation, not only was Moyan Mountain targeting him, but the situation with the Demon Court was also becoming problematic.
Laying low was no longer an option. He needed to find another way!
"Again!"
Li Changsheng felt a sense of urgency. He had come to the Profound Yellow World from the Cangqing Realm to grow rapidly and reach the Golden Immortal realm. That way, after ascending to the Immortal World, he would have some ability to protect himself.
So he decided not to save the last simulation opportunity.
[Simulation begins.]
[At 148 years old, the Third Prince of the Demon Court, Jin Xuan, arrives at Golden Lion Mountain with his entourage, demanding to see you. You use seclusion as an excuse and do not leave your cave.]
[Three days later, Yuan Kong, unable to tolerate Jin Xuan's disrespectful remarks toward you, challenges Jin Xuan and is severely injured.]
[Fu Hai stands up for Yuan Kong but is injured by Jin Xuan's peak Celestial Immortal servant.]
[Enraged, you come out of seclusion. Using the Great Strength Ox Demon Art, you severely injure Jin Xuan's servant and beat Jin Xuan to the brink of death.]
[The True Immortal from the Demon Court is furious and attempts to attack you, but the Third Elder intervenes.]
[The Demon Court envoys leave.]
[You seek out the Third Elder for a private discussion. The Third Elder opens a secret passage in Golden Lion Mountain and helps you leave.]
[At 155 years old, your location is deduced by a Demon Court expert using divination techniques. Jin Xuan, along with seven Demon Court cultivators, including two half-step True Immortals, comes after you.]
[You fight with all your might at the edge of the Chaotic Star Domain, killing two Celestial Immortals but are injured by the two half-step True Immortals. You burn your essence blood, unleashing your full power to repel the two half-step True Immortals, but you are severely injured and flee into the ruins of the Mixed Origin Sect.]
[In the ruins of the Mixed Origin Sect, you carefully evade the Demon Court cultivators' pursuit. Nine days later, you reach the deepest part of the eastern ruins and detect traces of a formation beneath the Three-Finger Mountain. You cautiously begin to unravel the outer layers of the formation, but the deeper you go, the more powerful the formations become.]
[Your mastery of formation arts improves rapidly.]
[At 199 years old, you successfully unravel all the outer formations, reaching the 10th level in formation arts.] (Note: The 10th level in formation arts corresponds to the Human Immortal realm, and so on.)
[At 279 years old, you successfully unravel seventeen 10th-level immortal formations and catch a glimpse of a hazy palace.]
[However, the formations outside the palace surpass the 10th level, and you can progress no further.]
[At 339 years old, while attempting to unravel a formation, you accidentally trigger a 13th-level killing formation.]
[You die!]
[Simulation ends.]
"Jin Xuan!"
Li Changsheng frowned slightly.
Even after quietly leaving Golden Lion Mountain, Jin Xuan had still found someone skilled in divination to track his location.
Also, the Mixed Origin Sect was not as ordinary as the legends suggested. According to rumors, the Mixed Origin Sect was just a force with a True Immortal overseeing it. But in the simulation, before he could even get close to the palace, he encountered a 13th-level killing formation. How could a True Immortal-level force possess something like that?
Li Changsheng's eyelids lifted slightly as he said indifferently:
"If I had enough spirit stones, I could use this place to level up my formation arts."
"If I could reach the 13th level in formation arts and set up a killing formation capable of slaying Mystic Immortals, I wouldn't be so passive!"
