One Trait Draw Per Year Even Simulations Count

You originally just wanted to show your face in front of the Sword Lord, to let him know there was a ”Demon Tribe’s Bane” like you.

Unexpectedly, you became famous overnight, becoming the Limitless Sword Sect’s renowned ”Demon-Slaying Sage Hand”.

The Sword Lord inquired about your situation and, upon learning you possessed the special constitution of ”Demon Tribe’s Bane”, placed considerable importance on you.

The Sword Lord made an exceptional decision, allowing you to directly enter the Sword Sect’s inner sect as an inner disciple.

You no longer needed to be responsible for any tasks, just focus on cultivating in peace.

That night, the Outer Sect Duty Elder who heard your report about a suspected gathering of demons but chose to ignore it, was filled with regret.

Now, whenever he sees you, he has to show you three parts of respect, after all, you are a talent appreciated by the Sword Lord.

If only he had gone to check it out that night too, to show his face in front of the Sword Lord. Not asking for much, but getting some rewards would have been nice!

In the Limitless Sword Sect, even inner disciples must exchange battle merits for cultivation techniques.

This is to cultivate the disciples’ practical combat ability and fighting spirit.This rule, however, has a bug when applied to you.

The number and quality of demons you killed that single night far exceeded the standard for an ordinary inner disciple within an entire apprenticeship cycle.

Therefore, you exchanged for the Limitless Sword Sect’s Earth-Grade Limitless Three-Piece Set in one go, along with two sword technique martial arts.

External Technique, Earth-Grade ”Limitless Sword Body Profound Art”.

Internal Technique, Earth-Grade ”Limitless Spirit Gathering Profound Art”.

Heart Art, Earth-Grade ”Limitless Sword Heart Profound Art”.

Martial Arts, High-Grade ”Sword Flight Art”, Earth-Grade ”Unrestrained Sword Formula”.

Relying on the ”Proficiency” trait, regardless of how difficult these techniques were to practice, you could mindlessly mimic them and master the basics within a day.

”The quality of my techniques has improved again!”

Chen Yi outside the simulation saw this and felt secretly delighted.

Going to the Limitless Sword Sect was originally just to leave an impression on the Sword Lord.

He didn’t expect there to be an unexpected harvest.

”It hasn’t been easy! Throughout this simulation journey, I’ve stubbornly upgraded my techniques from Low-Grade, step by step, all the way to Earth-Grade!”

As one of the Eight Pillars of the Five Domains, the cultivation techniques practiced by inner disciples of the Limitless Sword Sect were only Earth-Grade at best.

Who, then, were the ones cultivating those Heaven-Grade techniques?

Chen Yi estimated it was probably high-ranking figures like the Sword Lord.

”Heaven-Grade techniques aren’t widespread because they’re difficult to learn. Even if the sect possesses them and is willing to distribute them, the disciples below lack sufficient experience and comprehension to learn them. But I can learn them...”

He figured his current simulated self probably didn’t have enough face to get the Sword Lord to gift him Heaven-Grade techniques.

Year Nine, age twenty-seven.

You focused on cultivation for a period of time.

Mainly, you practiced against the air every day, raising the proficiency of the Limitless Three-Piece Set so their effect on boosting cultivation would be better.

After switching to a set of Earth-Grade techniques, you felt the efficiency of absorbing the cultivation energy fed back from the Ten Thousand Souls Banner had increased.

Your natural cultivation speed had also significantly improved.

Although compared to people with better Bone Structure, you were still slow, but compared to your past self, you had taken a giant leap forward.

The Earth-Grade ”Unrestrained Sword Formula” enriched your moves in actual combat, enhancing your fighting power.

”Sword Flight Art” was even more of a treasure.

You could fly!

Of course, it was different from Martial King Realm experts flying through the air with their physical bodies.

Using ”Sword Flight Art” meant flying by standing on a spirit sword.

However, this method of flight consumed spiritual energy extremely heavily.

For Golden Body Realm martial artists, long-distance flight wasn’t possible yet, only short trips.

It would be better once you reached the Spirit Sea Realm. Spirit Sea Realm martial artists possessed the ”Spirit Vortex” ability, similar to the Golden Body Realm’s ”Golden Body”, a unique ability of that realm.

Its function was to sustain spiritual energy circulation, making spiritual energy seem like an inexhaustible vast ocean.

Year Twelve, age thirty.

Drawing trait...

Draw successful!

”Bad News Spreads in Martial Circles” (Purple Epic): You will not accumulate Pill Toxins in your body when taking pills, and the medicinal effect is doubled.

Adjust trait?

Yes/No

”Huh? A good trait!”

At first glance, ”Bad News Spreads in Martial Circles” and ”Senior Tomato User” seemed to have overlapping functions.

But that wasn’t actually the case.

The latter provided broad-spectrum poison resistance but couldn’t completely immunize against high-level toxins, such as Pill Toxins, demon toxins, or the strange poison Feng Yucheng used at the end of the last simulation.

But ”Bad News Spreads in Martial Circles” was specifically effective against Pill Toxins, completely preventing their accumulation, and it doubled the medicinal effect!

The last four words were key.

Some precious pills and immortal pills were extremely difficult to refine, taking many years for someone to produce just one.

With ”Bad News Spreads in Martial Circles”, taking one pill would be equivalent to taking two!

Furthermore, after obtaining the Nine Provinces Cauldron, his simulated self often took pills refined by Da Chun.

Although the Nine Provinces Cauldron was good, Da Chun’s skill was still somewhat unstable. It was hard to say whether what he sometimes refined was medicine or poison.

With ”Bad News Spreads in Martial Circles”, he wouldn’t have to worry about Da Chun having an off day and refining some random mess for him to eat.

You replaced ”Playing the Pig to Eat the Tiger” with ”Bad News Spreads in Martial Circles”.

Time passes unnoticed in the mountains. In the blink of an eye, you reached the age of thirty again.

Your cultivation had already advanced to the fourth level of the Golden Body Realm.

In the Limitless Sword Sect, through cultivation, combat, demon-slaying, and listening to powerful martial experts lecture on the Dao, you gained a lot.

Fighting side-by-side with fellow disciples, training in the Eastern Wastes, punishing demons and eliminating evil, you forged deep bonds of friendship with many people.

For others, cultivating in the Eastern Wastes meant facing hordes of demons, possibly accompanied by great danger.

But for you, it was a veritable comfort zone.

Although this leisurely life was good, you knew you still had many things to accomplish in this life and couldn’t stay in the Limitless Sword Sect forever.

Calculating the time, it was time for you to leave.

”Young Friend Chen Dong, has my Sword Sect been lacking in hospitality? Why do you wish to return to the Central Plains?”

The Sword Lord actually came to see you off personally. You were both flattered and overwhelmed.

”The Sword Lord jests. Within the Sword Sect, there is no internal strife among disciples; externally, all work in unison, guarding the Eastern Wastes gateway for humanity, resisting the demons. This truly embodies the human spirit. How could there be any lack of hospitality?”

”But I know you actually only possess Low-Grade Bone Structure. If you leave our sect’s Heaven-Grade Spiritual Vein location, your cultivation will become more difficult. The journey to the Central Plains is long and will delay you for quite some time.”

”But I have some matters I must attend to. I hope the Sword Lord can understand.”

You’ve now secured a connection with this important figure, the Sword Lord.

But the Female Emperor is still waiting for you to rescue her.

The opportunity with the Shen Family of the Starry Sky is also waiting for you to snatch it.

Staying in the Limitless Sword Sect forever would likely mean not surviving that wave of the demon invasion.

”Sword Lord, Chen Dong bids you farewell here. Please, do not see me off any further.”

”Wait a moment. I have something I wish to give you.”

Your eyes lit up. Something gifted by the Sword Lord was probably nothing short of exceptional.
