Chapter 360 - Chapter 360: 360 Phoenix Club (2/2)
He pondered for a moment, not committing to an answer just yet. “Alright, let me think about it and give you an answer tomorrow morning.”
“Okay.”
The Wise One of the Wind rose immediately and left.
…
Gu Yang launched the system.
[Do you want to use the Life Simulator? To use it once, it will cost two hundred energy points.]
The cost had increased significantly after breaking into the second level of the Unleaking Realm, to two hundred points, which was quite painful.
“Yes.”
[At the age of twenty-three, having reached the second level of the Unleaking Realm, you journeyed to the West Bank Continent and helped the Elf Clan heal the Mother Tree, becoming a devotee of the Moon God.]
[You have slain fifteen gigantic dark dragons. Your reputation as a dragon slayer has echoed throughout the entire West Bank Continent.]
[You stayed in the elven king’s court and cultivated intensely. Two months later, a dragon from the Celestial Being Realm attacked. With the lock of the court and tens of thousands of elves praying together, the chief priest summoned an angel at the cost of his life and repelled the dragon.]
[At a critical moment, an evil god descended. You teamed up with the angel to kill the avatar of the evil god. The angel, overly worn out, dissipated immediately.]
[After that battle, you led some legendary powerful elves to strike out in all directions, eliminating all threats within the Misty Forest.]
[Five years later, a major event occurred in the human kingdom. The evil god descended, and the entire continent was engulfed in war.]
[Three years later, a human kingdom sought help from the elves, but you declined.]
[After another ten years, the last human kingdom was defeated. The remnants of their army retreated into the Misty Forest. The elves took them in.]
[A year later, the evil god launched a full-scale attack and soon overran the elven court.]
[You managed to escape the West Bank Continent with Eve before the attack, returning to the Divine State. As soon as you appeared, you were pursued and killed by the celestial beings. You met your end at the age of forty-two.]
Gu Yang was somewhat astonished. The West Bank Continent truly was his blessed place.
He had managed to hang on for nineteen years there.
Although eventually vanquished by the evil god, the fact he could last for so long was beyond his expectation.
Although the Elf Clan wasn’t a particularly strong force on the West Bank Continent, they still had a strong foundation. If fully prepared, they could withstand an attack from a Celestial Being.
He had profited quite a bit from this.
Indeed, good deeds do not go unrewarded. Today, he saved the senior members of the Elf clan and rendered them a significant favor.
Only after this, were they willing to risk their lives for him.
The most remarkable was the high priest, who summoned an angel at the cost of his life. The angel had to be of the Celestial Being Realm at least.
Coming to the West Bank Continent was the right decision.
As for the Phoenix Society’s matters, he chose not to consider them for now. Knowing that a powerful Celestial Being had set his sights on him and still running around recklessly would be no different from courting death.
Each round in the simulator now required two hundred energy points. He had to use them sparingly.
He would reconsider it once he possessed the power to match a Celestial Being.
[Simulation ended. You can keep one of the following items.]
[One, the Martial Arts realm at the age of forty-two.]
[Two, the Martial Arts experience at the age of forty-two.]
[Three, the life wisdom at the age of forty-two.]
“I choose two.”
Immediately, Gu Yang’s mind was flooded with memories of many battles, as well as experiences and knowledge related to Martial Arts.
In nineteen years time, he acquired a vast amount of knowledge.
…
The next step was to follow this path, repeatedly simulating and accumulating experience.
Most importantly was his enlightenment of the “Taixuan Heavenly Book”.
This heavenly book encompassed everything, profound and extensive. With each simulation, he gained new insights. In a way, he was catching up.
Martial Arts didn’t require much knowledge for cultivation. According to ancient standards, he lacked many elements.
The toughest part was having no one to guide him. He had to explore and gain insights by himself, hence the long learning process.
If he had a mentor to enlighten him, his progress would have been ten times faster.
By the tenth simulation, Gu Yang paused.
Gaining nearly two hundred years’ worth of knowledge at once was too much and too jumbled. He needed to digest it first.
…
…
The next day, Gu Yang went to meet Roderick, the third-tier legendary mage, and said, “I have lots of matters to deal with. I’ll come to you in half a year.”
“Okay.”
The Wise One of the Wind was overjoyed when Gu Yang agreed.
After agreeing on a meeting place for half a year later, the Wise One of the Wind left the elven king’s court with his apprentice, having already said his farewells to the elf queen.
After seeing off Roderick, Gu Yang went to find the elf queen and the high priest, proposing to lead a conquest to eliminate all threats to the elven race within the Misty Forest.
The elf queen and the high priest held a meeting and quickly approved the decision.
And so, Gu Yang set off with five legendary powerful elves from the Elf Clan. The high priest also joined them.
The Misty Forest was vast, a continuous mountain range covering an area equivalent to a medium-sized country in the West Bank Continent.
Many areas within the forest were harsh and inhospitable. Many beasts exceeding their rank made their homes here, calling it home.
In addition to this, there were also other tribes populating the area, like dog-headed humanoids, half-beastmen, gnomes, dwarves, and so forth.
The elves were the largest force in the forest. The threats they experienced came from a group of Komodo Lizard men living underground. This semi-dragon race was powerful and cunning, and they rallied many subordinate groups to act against the elves.
As they lived underground in a complex environment, the lizard men were hard to deal with. The elves, prior to this, were without a solution.
Gu Yang wasn’t bothered by this. He led his group straight into their lair, fighting their way to the deepest part of the cave.
The remaining pet beast of his, the Golden Pupiled Divine Ape, was an expert in wreaking havoc amongst weaker creatures. Those with lower realms simply couldn’t resist his illusions.
Soon, Gu Yang had cleared out the cave, killing two powerful lizard men in the process, causing the lizard men to disintegrate.
