This life of mine is like walking on thin ice

Chapter 9: The Giant of the Sky Demon Clan

[Obtained entry: Sword Skills Mastery]

[Gain attribute points: one point]

After Lu Xuan made the decision, two lines of information appeared on the panel.

"Uh~I seem a little embarrassed this time," Lu Xuan blinked.

The attribute points are only guaranteed, and the entries are also average, just red entries.

[Sword Mastery]: Red entry, you have a thorough understanding of swordsmanship and are proficient in it. Your speed of understanding relevant aspects of the swordsmanship is increased by two times

Lu Xuan thought about it carefully and found that this entry might be correct.

After his comprehension increased tenfold, the speed at which he comprehended the magical power of the sword also increased tenfold compared to before. Combined with his twice-high mastery of swordsmanship, it seemed that the speed could be increased twenty times, or possibly twelve times.

The former is very good, while the latter is just average.

"Do it again." Lu Xuan gritted his teeth.

In order to obtain more attribute points and more information about the mastermind behind the scenes, he had no choice but to continue simulating.

【Do you want to conduct a life simulation? 】

"Yes."

[Life simulation is about to begin, please be prepared]

The next moment, lines of simulation information were refreshed on the virtual panel.

[At the age of eight, you joined the Sanxiao Palace, became a disciple of the Purple Sky Palace Master, and practiced the god-level technique "Purple Sky Zhengdao Sutra" and broke through to the third level of Qi Refining in one fell swoop.]

[You practiced and comprehended the Great Freedom Heavenly Sword for ten days, and you finally got a glimpse of the path and the entry to the Great Freedom Heavenly Sword. During this time, Bai Yuxian came to look for you, but he left because you were in seclusion.]

[Seven days later, your cultivation level will be raised to the fifth level of Qi Refining, and you will be released from retreat.]

[As expected, after the news of your coming out of retreat spread, a cultivator came to you soon, claiming to be from Liang State. After discovering that you had cultivated to the fifth level of Qi Refining, he invited you to a small gathering in two days.]

[You communicated with him and learned that his name was Zheng Yuanshan, he was at the ninth level of Qi Refining Realm, he was currently sixteen years old, and he had been a member of the Sanxiao Palace for six years. Zheng Yuanshan invited you again, and you accepted without much hesitation.]

[Afterwards, you rode a fairy crane to Zixiao Peak. The master of Zixiao Palace checked your progress in cultivation and was a little disappointed to find that you were only at the fifth level of Qi Refining. However, he smiled again after learning that you had comprehended the Great Freedom Heavenly Sword and warned you to focus on improving your cultivation first.]

[You learned from the Purple Sky Palace Master that Bai Yuxian is about to enter the seventh level of Qi Refining Realm, but has not yet comprehended the god-level magical power.]

[You said that you would be going out for training in the near future, slaying demons and monsters in the Central Region, and asked the master to grant you a life-saving magical power. The Purple Sky Palace Master also thought so, and after a moment of hesitation, he did not tell you that he had already granted you a magical power before, but this time he granted you a great defensive magical power, and warned you not to leave the Three Sky Palace easily before you reach the Shackles Realm.]

[Two days later, Zheng Yuanshan came to look for you. You both rode on cranes to Qianlong Peak. Zheng Yuanshan was secretly anxious when he saw that he had no chance to attack. He decided to find a chance to attack later, but the magical power in his mind suddenly erupted, and Zheng Yuanshan died instantly.]

[The defensive magical power left by the Purple Sky Palace Master was activated, and a long river of purple air emerged, surrounding you and resisting the attack. You were not hurt, and finally saw the magical power clearly. It was actually a dark star that was violently expanding, and it burst out with terrifying power in an instant. ] [Soon, the power of the dark star dissipated, and the long river of purple air also dimmed a lot, and dissipated after a few breaths. You looked around and saw that hundreds of mountains around were destroyed, and countless disciples of the Three Sky Palace died. ]

[Figures emitting powerful auras descended from the sky one after another, their expressions extremely shocked and angry. They realized that there was a traitor trying to kill Lu Xuan, and immediately blocked the Sanxiao Mountains, claiming that they must find the mastermind behind the scenes.]

[By listening to the conversation between the sect leaders, you learned that the magical power is called 'Black Star Destroying the World', which is the divine power of the 'Dark Sky Feather Clan' in the Western Regions. The sect leaders suspect that it was done by the Dark Sky Feather Clan, or someone did it in the name of the Dark Sky Feather Clan.]

[The sect leaders tried to trace the source along Zheng Yuanshan's chain of relationships. The Purple Sky Palace Master brought you back to Purple Sky Peak and gave you defensive magical powers again. He then told you not to leave the Three Sky Palace recently and to practice well. The rest will be left to them.]

[After returning to the outer sect, you inquired about the news and learned that the Dark Sky Feather Clan was one of the seventy-six royal clans in the Western Regions, and that their ancestors had once been gods.]

[Half a day later, the Elders' Hall questioned everyone Zheng Yuanshan had contacted before meeting you, but found nothing. Finally, they found that an outer sect elder was missing. That person had been on the run for a long time, and the Purple Sky Hall Master chased him and intercepted him halfway.]

[He revealed his true power, and turned out to be a hidden Daotai realm giant. When he saw the Purple Sky Palace Master coming, he exploded because he could not escape.]

[Afterwards, you learned about this outer sect elder from the Purple Cloud Palace Master. His name is Zhao Jinghan, and he has reached the Dragon Transformation Realm. He has been a member of the Three Cloud Palace for nearly two hundred years. He is usually very kind, always smiling, and takes good care of the outer sect disciples. However, he is a demon, and a member of the Sky Demon Clan, one of the nine great demon clans.]

[At the age of nine, you broke through to the ninth level of Qi Refining Realm. However, due to your limited aptitude, you were unable to reach the highest level. When the Purple Sky Palace Master learned about this, he was greatly disappointed. It happened that a girl who broke through to the Qi Refining Realm in just half a day appeared in Sanxiao City. The Purple Sky Palace Master accepted her as his disciple and focused on training her.]

[After hearing the news, the demon clan leaders angrily scolded Zhao Jinghan for being stupid, saying that if he had waited a little longer, he wouldn't have died in vain.]

[At the age of ten, you broke through to the Yuandan realm. ]

[At the age of fifteen, you showed your prowess in the outer sect competition, sweeping away countless outer sect disciples with the Great Freedom Heavenly Sword and winning first place. In the same year, you broke through to the Shackles Realm and were promoted to the inner sect.]

[As soon as you entered the inner gate, you learned that Bai Yuxian had broken through to the Purple Mansion Realm and was promoted to the Heavenly Gate. Not long after, your fifth apprentice sister Wen Chuyan broke through to the Purple Mansion Realm. The two peerless goddesses were promoted to the Heavenly Gate almost at the same time, shocking the Three Heavenly Palaces.]

[At the age of twenty-one, you broke through the nine shackles in your body and broke through the Dragon Transformation Realm in one fell swoop. Your body and soul were transformed, and your life was sublimated.]

[At the age of 30, you broke through to the sixth transformation of the Dragon Realm. Because you did not break through to the Purple Mansion Realm before the age of 30, you lost the qualification to be promoted to the Heavenly Gate and became an inner gate steward instead.]

[At the age of thirty-two, you went out to gain experience and seek opportunities. You traveled westward, out of the Western Regions, through the wasteland, into the Western Regions, and ventured into the territory of the ancient tribe.]

[At the age of thirty-seven, you cultivated to the ninth level of the Dragon Transformation Realm. In order to compete for the opportunity to break through the Purple Mansion Realm, you were killed by the genius of the Nine-headed Qilin Clan.]

Lu Xuan took a deep breath and a smile appeared on his face.

There was indeed a traitor in the Sanxiao Palace, a powerful giant from the Sky Demon Clan, one of the nine demon clans, who wanted to plot and assassinate him.

This giant knew that he would be discovered after he assassinated Lu Xuan, so he left the sect and fled as soon as Zheng Yuanshan took action. If it weren't for the Lord of Zixiao Palace, the emperor of the Heavenly Court, he might have been able to escape.

In addition to the information about the mastermind behind the scenes, Lu Xuan also obtained a lot of information from this life simulation.

The two terms "Mastery of the Way of the Sword" and "Extraordinary Comprehension" can actually be combined, which increases Lu Xuan's comprehension of the Way of the Sword by twenty times, making him at least comparable to a genius.

If you practice and comprehend the "Great Freedom Heavenly Sword" at the same time, you will get started in just ten days. If you concentrate on comprehending it, it will take even less time.
