As night fell, a bonfire was lit beside the waterfall.
Standing on a massive rock, Gu Yang raised his head looking at the boundless starry sky, pondering his next plan.
He felt as if he was just a step away from the Divine Power Realm.
But he knew clearly, this was just an illusion. As for how long it took to cross this one step, it’s unknown.
He still needed money, at least several million.
The crisis was imminent. If nothing unexpected happened, in a month or rather in just over twenty days, Cao Yiyi’s father, the gun god would come looking for him.
The Sword Saint of the East Ancient Alley was injured, he would not be able to withstand this man.
Definitely, he could not stay in Jingzhou.
King Jing Hai was quite loyal, there was no need to involve him.
Besides, even if he managed to escape this crisis, there was a bigger one later. In a year, it was very likely that a strongman from the Sacred Land in the Divine Power Realm would come for him.
Gu Yang knew that he was just a hardworking man, he shouldn’t be thinking of settling down peacefully.
In fact, there was another path. He could take Pei Qianlan and Su Qingzhi and hide in the Secret Realm of Tianzhu Mountain, where they could have a peaceful life for thirty years.
Yet, that was akin to waiting for death. After thirty years, when Star Luo Sect and Wanxiang Gate arrived, all that awaited him was death.
Upon thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and opened the system.
[Do you want to use the Life Simulator? It costs 500,000 gold to use once.]
“Yes.”
[At 22, you have reached the peak First Rank, topped the First Rank list, and shocked the world.]
[You killed Lei Hao on Dragon Gate Island and took over the island.]
[Several days later, you took Su Qingzhi and others to Tianzhu Mountain, sending them into the Secret Realm, and left alone to look for Ling Ling.]
[You went to the Lin family in Jiangzhou to settle the account with them, forcing out a Golden Body Realm member they had hidden. After a fierce battle, you defeated him. Finally, the Lin family conceded and offered their family treasure.]
[In the secret vault of the Lin family, you discovered a treasure map hidden in a painting. After having Wu Er identify it, you confirmed it was a treasure map from the Xia Dynasty over a thousand years ago. The location of the treasure is the Divine City.]
[You went to the Divine City and looked through data at the Martial Academy for two months, finally determining the location of the treasure, it was in the Altar of Heaven.]
[You went to the Literary Institute, to the highest floor of Star Picking Pavilion where you saw the difficult question proposed by the Celestial Being from the institute which was a sword technique. The condition was that if anyone below the Divine Power Realm could comprehend this sword, it would be deemed as completed.]
[You spent several months in Star Picking Pavilion trying to comprehend, naturally you were unable to comprehend this sword technique, and inevitably gave up.]
[Afterwards, you were courted by all sides. You eventually decided to join the Capital Guard and became the deputy commander, getting the chance to enter the Huaqing Pool for Temper.]
[Two months later, the royal family held a heaven-worshipping ceremony. Due to the emperor’s poor health, the ceremony was presided over by the queen. You were responsible for safeguarding the queen, thus had the chance to enter the Altar of Heaven.]
[During the worship ceremony, the crown prince and several ministers suddenly confronted the queen. It quickly escalated into chaos. Almost ten Divine Power Realm strongmen appeared, someone took advantage of the disorder to open the Secret Realm in the middle of the altar. It was filled with countless gold and silver jewels, and a Divine Sword.]
[Beside the Divine Sword sat a tall figure. The man suddenly came back to life, killing all the Divine Power Realm strongmen who had entered the Secret Realm.]
[Then, the strongman guarding the treasure pulled out the Divine Sword and killed his way out. No one could be his match.]
[You protected the queen and escaped from the Altar of Heaven, returning to the palace.]
[That strongman pursued all the way to the palace, and was finally killed by several powerful men in the palace.]
[After this, you gained even more trust from the queen.]
[Several months later, the queen sent you to deliver a letter, but you were captured by a Mana Realm strongman as soon as you left the Divine City.]
[More than a year later, you were taken to a certain Secret Realm and underwent arduous cultivation day and night.]
[Forty years later, still unable to break through to the Divine Power Realm, you were taken to a colossal Divine Tree. You were drained of all your blood and died, aged sixty-four.]
Gu Yang was rather surprised after reading this simulation.
Cao Yiyi’s father surprisingly did not appear afterwards. From the look of it, Ling Ling really was his lucky star.
Going to the Lin family to settle the score was part of his plan.
The Lin family had tried to kill him several times, how could he let it go easily?
If no one came up with several million taels for atonement, this matter would not be over.
Unexpectedly, he obtained a treasure map of the Xia Dynasty from the secret vault of the Lin family.
It must be the same treasure that the previous Sword Saint was trying to find.
In the Secret Realm where the treasure was hidden, there was actually a man hidden. The Xia Dynasty had perished a thousand years ago, this meant, the person hiding in the Secret Realm must be at least in the Unleaking Realm. Otherwise, he would not have survived until now.
In the end, this strongman of the Unleaking Realm was killed in the palace.
