Chapter 199: 199 is not what you think it is

“Could it be that it happened because I’ve reached the Divine Power Realm?”
The only difference Gu Yang found through comparing it with the previous simulation was that his cultivation level had changed.
This was quite possible.
It seemed this path was no longer viable.
[Simulation completed, you can keep one of the following.]
[First, the martial arts realm at the age of thirty-two.]
[Second, the martial arts experience at the age of thirty-four.]
[Third, life wisdom at the age of thirty-four.]
“I choose the first option.”
Suddenly, the power within Gu began to swell, once again transforming him into a White Tiger, followed by a Black Tortoise.
He had advanced to the second level in both the Divine Tiger Manual and the Divine Turtle Manual.
His mortal body strength surged yet again.
When Gu Yang opened his eyes, he saw Gao Fan staring at him in shock.
He asked, “What’s wrong?”
Gao Fan stammered, “Did you… achieve the second layer of the Golden Body?”
Even with his extensive knowledge and experience, Gao Fan was startled.
He was initially in the yard studying the Wu Earth Divine Cauldron when the commotion in the house caught his attention. Initially opting to ignore it, he quickly realised something was wrong.
This was clearly the power of the second layer of the Golden Body.
Gao Fan’s shock was no small matter: abandoning the Wu Earth Divine Cauldron, he rushed to verify his suspicion.
Gu Yang, watching her shocked expression and feeling quite pleased, calmly said, “I got some luck and finally made a breakthrough.”
“You”
Gao Fan appeared conflicted, hesitating before finally seeming to make a decision, “Is the Jiuzhou seal very important to you?”
“It’s important.”
“Wait for my news,” Gao Fan said before heading out, a final message reaching Gu Yang, “Take care of Tianci for me.”
Gu Yang thought to himself, Old Gao sure knows how to get things done efficiently, with zero hesitation.
At that moment, footsteps rang out from outside. Cheng Qingyu’s voice echoed from afar, “This isn’t good.”
When she reached the courtyard door, she paused, knocking forcefully.
After being scolded by him once, Cheng Qingyu had made it a habit to knock on the door before seeking him out.
Gu Yang said, “Come in.”
Cheng Qingyu rushed in, her face filled with distress, “Brother Gu, Lin Ruo Xi from the Lin Family has arrived in Divine City, claiming to settle scores with you. You need to hide.”
The Lin family?
Gu Yang knew that she was referring to one of the Top Nine Families in the world – the Lin family.
He wasn’t surprised. From the moment he decided to oppose the Lin family, he had prepared for the possibility of their retaliation.
No matter what, he had single-handedly taken down the Lin branch in Jiangzhou. Was the Lin family not concerned about their reputation?
He asked, “Who is this Lin Ruo Xi?”
He didn’t recognize the name; he had never heard it before.
“Twenty years ago, she ranked first in the First Rank List. After reaching the Divine Power Realm, she secluded herself to practice intensely. Apparently, she is now at the third level of the Golden Body. After exiting her seclusion recently, she announced that she would challenge Chen Wen Yuan of the Chen family. However, after learning about the events in Jiangzhou involving the Lin family, she declared that she would come after you. She will arrive in Divine City soon.”
A third constellation Golden Body was indeed a bit tricky.
However, this person was not mentioned in the simulation, so likely, he had avoided this encounter.
For Lin Ruo Xi, challenging the Chen family was a bigger deal.
Gu Yang had heard about the grudges between the Lin and Chen families.
The Lin family was once very influential, even more dominant than the current Qin family.
This family had once produced a Celestial Being – the only one among the world’s top families.
The Lin and Chen families had a profound connection and were initially on very good terms. However, during the chaotic late Qin dynasty, the Lin family’s Celestial Being was killed in a war against the royal family of the Qin Dynasty.
In that battle, the Lin family was on the verge of total annihilation.
