Chapter 96: Sister Fairy of Three Thousand Years
[In the eightieth year, you looked up at the sky with increasing despondency and let out a sigh.]
[During this year, you did not feel any acceleration in the recovery of your injuries.]
[You wondered if the "Late Bloomer" talent couldn't speed up healing.]
[But this puzzled you greatly, as cultivation is supposed to accelerate spiritual energy absorption and increase one's power.]
[Now, you're also absorbing spiritual energy to heal, so why isn't this talent working?]
[You cursed inwardly, "Damn double standards!"]
[In the eighty-fifth year, your injuries were still severe, and you could only recover to the early Spirit Transformation stage.]
[This made you frown deeply, even considering the idea of dispersing your cultivation and starting over.]
[After all, this recovery speed was even slower than starting cultivation anew!]
[Of course, you dismissed this thought as soon as it arose.][Having received an Immortal Dao inheritance, you were no longer a novice in cultivation and knew clearly that dispersing your cultivation would damage your foundation.]
[You would never again reach your former heights.]
[In the ninetieth year, you looked at the two strands of white hair at your temples and let out a bitter laugh.]
[You were only a hundred and ten years old, which, given your cultivation, should still be considered youthful, yet you already had white hair—this was not normal.]
[But looking at your appearance, you weren't too surprised.]
[After all, Shen Wutian had extracted a large amount of your blood essence and soul.]
[This would naturally have a severe impact on your lifespan.]
[In truth, you had long suspected this but pretended not to know, clinging to a sliver of hope.]
[You thought perhaps the "Death Substitute Doll" talent would help eliminate these hidden dangers!]
[But now it seemed, clearly not.]
[The "Death Substitute Doll" talent, true to its name, could only substitute for death.]
[You glanced at the wooden hut you had lived in for decades, took a deep breath, and sighed, "I can't keep hiding!"]
[Initially, you thought you could hide and recover, regaining your strength before investigating the situation here.]
[If it was too dangerous, you would just keep hiding and cultivate until the end of your lifespan.]
[You knew clearly that you were in a simulation; although the truth was important, you cared more about increasing your strength.]
[But once white hair appeared at your temples, you felt your lifespan might not be enough to support your recovery, let alone further cultivation.]
[You knew you couldn't keep hiding; you needed to take risks and act more aggressively.]
[Whether it was seeking heavenly materials and earthly treasures to increase your lifespan or exploring to find out where you were, you had to go out.]
[Otherwise, hiding would just waste the remaining simulation time.]
[After making your decision, you no longer hesitated and turned to walk into the distance.]
[In the ninety-first year, you arrived outside the Cangyun Sect.]
[Originally, it wouldn't have taken you this long to reach the Cangyun Sect.]
[But during this year, you visited many pharmacies and auction houses along the way, hoping to find some heavenly materials and earthly treasures useful to you.]
[Whether it was for restoring blood essence, repairing the soul, or increasing lifespan, these treasures would be greatly beneficial to you.]
[Unfortunately, these types of heavenly materials and earthly treasures were rare, and you found none.]
[You weren't disappointed by this, as you had only been trying your luck from the start.]
[Now, you came to the Cangyun Sect with a similar purpose.]
[After all, the Cangyun Sect was the largest sect in the area, and the probability of finding these treasures here was the highest.]
[But how could you obtain heavenly materials and earthly treasures from the Cangyun Sect?]
[No, you couldn't even get into the Cangyun Sect right now.]
[Let alone scheme for their treasures.]
[However, you were quite lucky; after only a few days of lingering outside the Cangyun Sect, you learned that in three months, they would be recruiting new disciples.]
[You thought you could sneak in then.]
[Three months passed in the blink of an eye, and you successfully joined the Cangyun Sect.]
[However, you did not join as a disciple.]
[Your age had already exceeded the range for disciple recruitment at the Cangyun Sect.]
[So, if not as a disciple, how did you get into the Cangyun Sect?]
[You glanced at the somewhat shy fairy sister beside you and silently recited, "Dao De Jing!"]
[You really didn't mean to; you just casually chatted a bit, and she came to you on her own.]
[Yes, that's what you thought.]
[As for the "Love Saint" talent? What is that? You selectively forgot about it, firmly refusing to acknowledge you had used this talent.]
[Afterward, you successfully settled in the Cangyun Sect as Xia Zhishan's Dao companion!]
[This three-thousand-year-old fairy, Xia Zhishan, was an elder of the Cangyun Sect, with a high status and power at the ninth level of Tribulation Crossing.]
[Upon learning of your severe injuries, she used her position to provide you with many treasures.]
[In the ninety-fifth year, the white hair at your temples had completely disappeared.]
[You could now exert the peak power of the Spirit Transformation stage.]
[However, you felt that further recovery was becoming increasingly difficult.]
[In truth, there was no other way; over the past few years, you had obtained many treasures from Xia Zhishan that increased lifespan and restored blood essence.]
[But there were no treasures to heal soul injuries.]
[Half of your injuries were from the soul; without the corresponding treasures, relying on time to slowly restore soul power naturally made it difficult to recover your cultivation.]
[Over these years, you also asked Xia Zhishan which region of the Nine Mystic Realm this place belonged to.]
[But Xia Zhishan's answer surprised you.]
[She said this was the Divine Martial Continent, a whole entity, and they divided territories by sects, without any regional divisions.]
[Her answer made you ponder for a long time.]
[Later, you also inquired about the Immortal Realm, but Xia Zhishan said she didn't know what the Immortal Realm was!]
[In the end, you stopped exploring further, thinking you might have been wrong from the start.]
[You weren't transported out of the Southern Regions but directly out of the Nine Mystic Realm, perhaps even far from the Immortal Realm.]
[However, you thought this might be for the best, as it kept you farther from the powerful beings of the Immortal Realm, making it safer.]
[This way, as long as you didn't deliberately cause trouble, once you healed your injuries, wouldn't you be able to simulate for eternity?]
[You couldn't help but start fantasizing that after this simulation, you might become invincible.]
