One Trait Draw Per Year Even Simulations Count

[Treasure grabbing not enthusiastic, problem with your thinking!]

[You hesitated for only 0.1 seconds, then with a speed faster than lightning you scooped up everything on the ground.]

[Unfortunately, before you could rejoice for even a second, you and the already far-away All-Knowing were launched into the air from the same spot.]

[The attacks were mainly concentrated on you, and All-Knowing was hit by the aftershock, howling midair.]

“Aiya!! Oh my god! Ancestors! I didn’t steal any treasure! I was just passing by to see the spectacle, to impress my buddies later! Don’t hit me!!”

In less than a second, you felt several rounds of impact strike you.

Wolverine frantically self-healed.

Miraculously, you were not fatally wounded.

That was because those attacking you were Alien Race cultivators.

On top of that, you had picked up the Celestial Emperor relics, which were indestructible and absorbed much of the blows for you. When you landed heavily again, you found that of the treasures you had just grabbed, only two items remained clutched tightly in your hands.

One was that piece of red cloth, the other was the Jade Slip whose first page read “Slash Three Souls.”

The other items had been blasted away, falling into the hands of powerful figures from all directions, sparking another round of fighting.

But what you held was also coveted, and someone came chasing after you.

It was none other than the Myriad Treasures Child Goddess.

Not only her, but many famous cultivators from Blazing Star had also rushed over; their cultivation levels were at least Extreme Terrain Realm.

You had no disguise at the moment, so the Myriad Treasures Child Goddess recognized you at a glance.

“It’s you?”

One end of the red cloth had a short piece of rope attached; you looped it around your neck, shoved the Jade Slip into your storage pouch, and spread your hands.

“Surprised? Shocked?”

Several cultivators who had chased along with the Myriad Treasures Child Goddess tried to attack you.

But they were blocked by the Child Goddess’s Snake-Head Staff.

Although Myriad Treasures Child Goddess was small in stature, she was the only one among these notables who could fly.

That was of course because concealed within her wide robe was a Spiritual Treasure that allowed her to fly.

She gave you a once-over.

“Just now, for some unknown reason, all the Celestial Emperor relics flew toward this kid. Although the Celestial Emperor relics are wondrous, they are not true Artifact Spirits by nature, so they shouldn’t behave like this...”

Someone anxiously said.

“Child Goddess! We’d better snatch back the Celestial Emperor relics quickly! Let the three great sects fight over the Celestial Emperor’s immortal weapons, we’ll grab the Jade Slip this kid just obtained! That Jade Slip must contain the supreme immortal technique of the Female Celestial Emperor, enough to surpass the Transcendent Realm!”

From your chat with All-Knowing you had already learned that the Transcendent Realm was not the end of cultivation in the Real Realm.

Beyond the Transcendent Realm, the immortal path still stretched endlessly.

Myriad Treasures Child Goddess’s gaze scanned you again but failed to make sense of anything, so she gave up.

Five or six Extreme Terrain Realm cultivators surrounded you; aside from the Child Goddess, the others were Alien Race members.

You snorted coldly, clenched both fists hard, and the bones of your palms pushed out from beneath the skin, giving a salute to Uncle Wolf.

They could see through your cultivation and treated you with disdain.

In the Real Realm, the gap between realms was like a mountain.

Besides, they now had numerical superiority.

The three great sects’ experts were fighting over the most important Profound Flame Mirror and couldn’t spare their attention here.

Around you the light and thunderous sounds of Extreme Terrain and Transcendent cultivators clashing filled the sky.

Earth shattered, white clouds dispersed, lightning flickered endlessly.

Your battle with the Extreme Terrain cultivators began.

All-Knowing watched from afar, shaking his head.

“Humans are stubborn. Don’t they know there’s a fundamental difference between Core Formation and Extreme Terrain? Extreme Terrain cultivators already possess Divine Abilities!”

All-Knowing remained sly, and while you were being besieged he turned to slip away.

But he had only taken a few steps when sudden screams rang out.

All-Knowing looked back, and the screams were not from you — it was the Alien Race Extreme Terrain cultivators attacking you!

“What’s going on?”

Upon closer inspection, All-Knowing realized.

The attacks those Alien Race cultivators launched against you — whether spells, killing moves, the power of their Spiritual Treasures, their divine marks, or even their Divine Abilities — were all reflected back at them!

To be precise, they were not reflected by you, but by the red cloth you were wearing!

All-Knowing exclaimed.

“No wonder it’s a Celestial Emperor relic! Shoot, this kid might actually escape? I have to get out of here!”

You also discovered the red cloth’s marvel.

Its current displayed power reminded you of a Yu-Gi-Oh card: Magic Cylinder!

Whatever damage opponents sent, it reflected back the same amount!

Unfortunately, the red cloth was small and could only cover your chest and upper abdomen.

In theory, if these people attacked your back you could still be killed and Perish With Cultivation Erased.

But you had one last trump card.

Remember the Divine Armament Revelation, that fourth-grade technique?

When the proficiency of Divine Armament Revelation reaches Pinnacle, the practitioner gains the ability called “unity of man and artifact.”

After fusion, an artifact’s power increases greatly, control over it becomes exquisitely precise, like extending a limb, operating at will.

Those years on the star ship, plus the ten arduous years of training, had raised your proficiency in Divine Armament Revelation to Pinnacle.

Using this move at your current cultivation, and merging with such an extraordinary Celestial Emperor relic, would be tremendously costly, nearly draining all your primordial energy (Core Formation realm, True Qi advancing into primordial energy).

But you succeeded.

Your entire human body vanished, merging into the red cloth.

You felt nothing unusual, only that your physical human form was gone, replaced by the red cloth.

Your control over the red cloth became as natural as controlling your own body.

“Hahaha! Come at me! Let’s see what you can do to me?!”

Everyone saw the red cloth floating in midair, assuming a human posture, hands on hips, laughing toward the sky.

The few Extreme Terrain cultivators who had planned to attack your rear were stunned by this trick.

“Damn! How does this guy still have this move! How can we take it now?”

“Where did this human come from? What strange spell does he practice, from another planet? Is there such a person on Blazing Star?”

“Child Goddess! You are most versed in artifacts — is there a way to counter this?”

Myriad Treasures Child Goddess did not act.

She was actually not a cultivator skilled in combat.

Earlier she had been hoping to snatch a bargain.

After some observation she discovered a terrifying fact.

Compared with thirty years ago, you had broken through from mid Core Formation to early Core Formation!

What kind of cultivation speed was that?

In her impression, only prodigious geniuses on first-tier stars, backed by deep, terrifying backgrounds, could possibly achieve this!

“Could it be...”
