Beauties in Simulation Cross over into Reality

Chapter 175: Chapter 157: Your Majesty’s Sword Technique, Who Taught It?

Xiao Mo slowly opened his eyes.

It was just like the previous two times he had emerged from the Hundred Generations Book’s River of Time.

Xiao Mo’s stomach churned with a wave of nausea, and his mind couldn’t stop replaying the scenes he had witnessed in the River of Time.

But after a few times, Xiao Mo had grown somewhat accustomed to it. It didn’t take long for him to settle his thoughts.

Once Xiao Mo regulated his breathing, the words and voice of the Hundred Generations Book echoed in his mind—

[The experience of Bai Ruxue’s second life (the Hundred Generations Book’s third world) has ended.]

[You were born in a humble fishing village and found by the Lord of the North Sea, Bai Ruxue. From that day on, she lived with you.

One day, she gave you Dragon Thunder Liquid and a Feather Transformation Pill, allowing you to begin cultivating.

Afterward, you embarked on the Confucian Dao, studied at Bailu Academy, and became a disciple of the Academic Palace Sacrificial Officer, Qi Daoming.

You were gifted and intelligent, cultivated diligently, and were determined to forge a new path for the Confucian Dao.

You participated in the Confucian Academy’s Gentleman examination, received an “Upper Examination” rating, and were deemed a “Righteous Gentleman.”

You achieved enlightenment in a bamboo forest and debated with your teacher Qi Daoming. He acknowledged your Confucian scholarship, and from then on, you became the “Academy Headmaster,” embarking on a path of scholarly debate.

You traveled the world with Bai Ruxue, out-debating the greatest Confucian scholars until your fame shook the world.

The Confucian Ding Chen unilaterally tore up the treaty, framed the North Sea, and plotted to exterminate the Dragon Race.

After the great battle of the North Sea, Bai Ruxue was gravely injured.

You then took your post at the Great Wall of China, both to accumulate Merit for her and for the sake of the world’s innocent people.

You guarded the Great Wall of China for twenty-one years, slaughtering countless members of the Demon Race.

When the Great Wall of China was on the verge of being breached, you wrote “Knowledge and Action Combined,” became a Saint of Confucianism, turned the tide of battle, and changed the fate of the World of Ten Thousand Laws.

At Shanhai Pass, you stood alone at the gate with a single sword, annihilating a Demon Army five hundred thousand strong.

On the White Tiger Plain, you fought the Ascension Realm Demon Cultivator, Wan Xi, for thousands of rounds, then threw his head before the Demon Army.

At the Black Mountain Sect, you rescued Bai Ruxue in the nick of time and fought a bloody battle against the Celestial Vault Daoist.

In the Valley of Ten Thousand Herbs, you sacrificed your Saint’s Heart to protect Bai Ruxue’s Dao, helping her transform into a dragon. From then on, the seal on the Dragon Race’s Qi Fortune was broken.

On the day you died,

The Mo Lake at Bailu Academy surged forth, flowing for a thousand miles.

Ten years after your death, the Human-Demon War ended, with the Human Race emerging victorious.

You made immense contributions in the Human-Demon War.

But because you opposed the World of Ten Thousand Laws for Bai Ruxue’s sake, used your Saint’s Heart to protect her Dao, and indirectly helped the Dragon Race rise, many Cultivators did not know how to write of you in the history books.

The Human Race Alliance held a fierce debate and ultimately decided to erase your name, expunging it from the world.

Reward One: Saint’s Heart.

This Saint’s Heart can accumulate Vast Qi for the host over time, continuously improve the host’s Root Bone and Spirit Veins, and can also be effective in combat, Dao enlightenment, and matters of the soul.

However, because the host’s Realm is too low to fully bear the Saint’s Heart, the Hundred Generations Book will temporarily seal the Saint’s Heart to a certain degree to ensure the host does not explode and die.

As the host’s Realm increases, the seal on the Saint’s Heart will gradually be undone, and its effects will become greater.

Reward Two: Merit Pill.

After consuming this elixir, when the host cultivates Buddhist Dharma to accumulate Merit, the amount of Merit gained will be increased by twenty percent. The effects of the Merit Pill last a lifetime.

Reward Three: Demon-Suppressing Dao Rhyme.

If the host battles the Demon Race, any Technique will deal an additional twenty percent damage to demons.]

[The Hundred Generations Book is now preparing the fourth world. The preparation time is undetermined. During this period, the host cannot re-enter the Hundred Generations Book. Upon completion, the host will be notified and can then enter the fourth world of the Hundred Generations Book.]

As the words and voice of the Hundred Generations Book faded from his mind, Xiao Mo felt a warm current flow through his heart, an incredibly pleasant sensation.

After the warm current disappeared, Xiao Mo looked inward and saw that the heart in his body had turned an inky black color, and the Vast Qi it produced was nourishing his body.

The fatigue from his sword practice had also lessened considerably.

Xiao Mo then consumed the Merit Pill, but he didn’t feel anything.

The same was true for the Demon-Suppressing Dao Rhyme.

However, Xiao Mo could indeed feel the presence of both.

Xiao Mo had wanted to immediately enter the fourth world, but it needed time to prepare, which gave him a bit of a headache. He had no idea how long the preparation would take.

’Forget it. Since I can’t enter the Hundred Generations Book right now, I’ll just practice my sword!’

Xiao Mo stood up, picked up his Peach Wood Sword, and began to practice the Grass Character Sword Intent.

…

「The National Preceptor’s Mansion, Imperial Palace.」

In the four days since Jiang Qingyi had arrived at the Imperial Palace, she had not once left the National Preceptor’s Mansion.

Every day, she had been contemplating all the possibilities that could arise after that White Dragon entered the palace, deducing how she should respond, how to move against him, and what the consequences would be.

But no matter how Jiang Qingyi ran the scenarios, the outcomes were never good.

Of course, she couldn’t find a way to gain any advantage either.

Putting her thoughts aside, Jiang Qingyi felt there was no point in continuing her deductions.

“Attendant,” Jiang Qingyi called out.

“Lady National Master.”

Soon, a maid walked in and curtsied to Jiang Qingyi.

“Where is His Majesty now?” Jiang Qingyi asked lightly.

“Lady National Master, His Majesty should be cultivating at the Wendao Platform.”

“The Wendao Platform? I see.”

Jiang Qingyi stood up and walked toward the Wendao Platform alone. She had passed by it when she first entered the palace, so she knew the way.

’I’ll have to see for myself just what Dao he is cultivating.’

An incense stick’s time later, Jiang Qingyi arrived at a high wall bordering the Wendao Platform.

The Wendao Platform was set up with a Spirit Gathering Array. Spirit Gathering Arrays usually have the effects of blocking Divine Sense probes and alerting to outside intruders.

But to Jiang Qingyi, this Barrier was as good as non-existent.

She leaped up, passed through the Barrier silently, and sat atop the high wall.

’He’s practicing the sword?’

Jiang Qingyi watched him, her eyes calm.

But the more she watched, the more she felt that something was wrong.

The longer she watched, the stronger the feeling of familiarity grew within her.

’This sword technique is…’

Xiao Mo was completely unaware that Jiang Qingyi had passed through the Barrier and was sitting on the wall, spying on him.

He was immersed in the Sword Dao, concentrating on every swing of his sword.

Another incense stick’s worth of time passed. Then, as if struck by inspiration, Xiao Mo swung his sword.

A sharp Sword Qi split the wooden stake before him in two.

“Not bad.”

Xiao Mo took a deep breath, quite satisfied with his current cultivation progress.

’Before long, I estimate I’ll be able to reach the Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer.’

And just as Xiao Mo put away his longsword, planning to go to Qingquan Palace for a soak in the hot springs…

A fragrant breeze wafted by.

A woman wearing a light veil stood before Xiao Mo.

“Fairy Jiang?” Xiao Mo was stunned for a moment.

’Is her Realm that high?’

’She entered the Wendao Platform, and the Array didn’t give the slightest warning.’

“Is there something I can help you with, Fairy Jiang?” Xiao Mo asked calmly.

“Your Majesty’s sword technique.”

Jiang Qingyi took a step forward, and Xiao Mo subconsciously took half a step back. The woman’s chest almost touched his.

“Who taught it to you?!”
