My Longevity Simulation
Chapter Summary
Zhao Ruoxi often came to visit Li Qing in the outer sect, bringing him many pills in secret, even including a precious Foundation Establishment Pill. “Senior Sister Zhao…”Zhao Ruoxi looked at Li Qing’s state, and a trace of pain flashed across her eyes. Zhao Ruoxi explained softly, “This is a technique hidden deep within the Secret Pavilion of the Grand Dao Sect.
Within the transparent martial arena, Li Qing stood under the gaze of tens of thousands of cultivators from Yilu Prefecture.
Yet he did not spare even a glance at the crowd below.
With a flick of his finger, he once again seized control of the countless sword techniques that had lost their targets moments ago.
Then he raised his head and looked toward the higher heavens.
“I have a sword.
I ask the Heavenly Sovereign to witness it.
”His clear voice echoed across the skies, spreading through all directions, causing shock among every cultivator present in Yilu Prefecture.
“What is he doing?
”“How dare he speak so rudely to the Heavenly Sovereign!
”“Stop him quickly!
”Cries of alarm erupted one after another, but it was already too late.
Behind Li Qing, the phantom of a black sword suddenly appeared.
The moment it manifested, the countless sword arts before him seemed to be violently stimulated.
The radiance of the sword light multiplied several times over.
The brilliance was so intense that the cultivators below could hardly open their eyes.
Even Wan Zailai, who had already been defeated and was filled with despair, raised his head at this sight.
Watching his own sword technique being elevated to such an astonishing level, a glimmer of hope rekindled within his darkened eyes.
But Li Qing ignored everyone’s reactions.
Laughing loudly, his figure merged completely with the black sword phantom.
Amid the embrace of countless sword techniques, he became like the emperor of swords, leading thousands of troops, cleaving through the heavens.
The transparent circular martial arena resisted for only an instant before it shattered inch by inch beneath the overwhelming strike.
The sword light did not falter, as if it wished to split the very sky apart.
In the collision between sword and heaven, the countless lights burst like fireworks, scattering across the firmament and dyeing the sky in multicolored brilliance.
Only the black sword that Li Qing had become remained resolute and unyielding.
At last, it flew into a magnificent celestial realm that suddenly appeared high above.
Through the brief rift that emerged in the sky, faint silhouettes could be seen, all gazing at the intruding Black Sword, each wearing a different expression....
“Sigh, this young man is truly pitiful.
So young, and yet…”“What a waste of such a fine appearance.
”“Who told him to overestimate himself and keep pestering Senior Sister Zhao?
She just entered the Foundation Establishment stage not long ago and is expected to become a core disciple soon.
He, on the other hand, still hasn’t succeeded in Qi Condensation.
”“Truly a toad dreaming of eating swan meat.
”“Wait, I heard it was actually Senior Sister Zhao who kept seeking him out.
He refused her many times and even said they should avoid meeting again.
”“Impossible.
Absolutely impossible.
”The noise of gossip woke Li Qing from his sleep.
Seeing him awake, the few people nearby immediately fell silent and left the room, leaving him alone in quiet.
His mind was in a haze.
Only after a long while did he fully recall his circumstances.
He was originally from Changfeng Village in the Great Green Mountains.
Half a year ago, the village had been massacred by a group of mountain bandits.
Only he and Zhao Ruoxi survived because they happened to be away that day.
When they saw flames rising from the village, they rushed back, only to encounter the retreating bandits head-on.
The bandits, captivated by Zhao Ruoxi’s beauty, intended to abduct her.
Fortunately, at that very moment, an immortal master from the Grand Dao Sect descended from the sky and slew all the bandits.
Seeing their pitiful state, the immortal took them both back to the Great Dao Sect.
From mere mortals, they thus stepped onto the path of cultivation—truly a blessing in disguise.
However, Li Qing’s fortune was not as deep as Zhao Ruoxi’s.
Within half a year, Zhao Ruoxi had already succeeded in Foundation Establishment, becoming a disciple of the Moonlight Branch under the Soul Transformation True Monarch, Zhang Wangshuang.
Li Qing, meanwhile, was still struggling at the Qi Condensation stage.
The difference between them was enormous.
Yet even that was not what Li Qing found hardest to accept.
As he felt the sharp pain from his lower body, his heart turned to ashes.
All of this misfortune began because of a woman’s beauty.
Qin Shou of the Lianshan Branch had fallen in love with Zhao Ruoxi at first sight.
But since Zhao Ruoxi showed him no affection and had already secretly given her heart to Li Qing, Qin Shou’s jealousy grew.
Zhao Ruoxi often came to visit Li Qing in the outer sect, bringing him many pills in secret, even including a precious Foundation Establishment Pill.
That pill was no ordinary one—it was the Purple Resonance Refining Dao Pill which Zhao Ruoxi had specially begged from her master for Li Qing’s sake, to help reduce the aftereffects of forced breakthroughs and even slightly improve one’s spiritual aptitude.
It was truly a heaven-defying divine medicine capable of changing fate.
That day, after sending Zhao Ruoxi away, Li Qing held the pill in his hands, overjoyed.
Who could have expected that joy would turn to tragedy?
His closeness with Zhao Ruoxi had provoked Qin Shou’s wrath.
Qin Shou sent men to his quarters, who brutally beat Li Qing and crippled him completely.
They even robbed him of the Purple Resonance Refining Dao Pill.
“Qin Shou…”As Li Qing awoke from his memories, hatred flashed in his eyes.
But the pain in his lower body quickly brought him back to grim reality.
Trembling, he reached a shaking hand downwards—and felt nothing there.
Li Qing’s heart instantly turned ice cold.
“My life root is gone, and so is my hope of breaking through the Qi Condensation stage.
”“What’s the point of living anymore…”Li Qing’s eyes were filled with despair.
At that moment, a figure suddenly pushed the door open and entered.
Without even lifting his head, just from that familiar fragrance, Li Qing already knew who had arrived.
“Ruoxi…”Before he could finish, he suddenly recalled the warning of those wicked men when they assaulted him.
The sharp pain in his lower body had not yet faded.
Li Qing shuddered, then quickly changed his words.
“Senior Sister Zhao…”Zhao Ruoxi looked at Li Qing’s state, and a trace of pain flashed across her eyes.
Then her face turned cold, filled with killing intent.
“Where are you injured…” she asked softly.
Li Qing trembled again, instinctively covering his lower body.
Zhao Ruoxi immediately understood.
Her face turned pale.
Her divine sense swept over him, and her delicate fists clenched tightly.
Endless killing intent surged in her eyes.
Having his defect exposed completely, Li Qing felt as if he could die from shame.
But because of that very shame, he could only tremble all over, unable to do anything else.
Seeing Li Qing shivering like a frightened chick, Zhao Ruoxi’s heart filled with pity.
“It’s all right, it’s all right.
”She comforted him softly, pulling him gently into her embrace.
“It’s just a physical injury.
When your cultivation becomes strong enough, you may be able to reconstruct your body one day…”“Senior Sister, although my cultivation is weaker than yours, I still know some cultivation basics.
I have not even established my Foundation, yet my body is already crippled.
This is an innate defect…”“I fear that even a Soul Transformation True Monarch would find it difficult to restore.
Moreover, with my limited talent, how could I ever reach Soul Transformation…”The more Li Qing spoke, the more despair filled his voice, until he finally broke down and cried bitterly.
In the end, under the double blow of body and spirit, he fell into a deep sleep in Zhao Ruoxi’s arms.
Zhao Ruoxi looked at Li Qing’s tear-streaked face, her eyes filled with sorrow.
Yet as she gently wiped away his tears, she found herself dazed by his handsome face and slightly furrowed brows in slumber.
Gradually, her expression turned strange.
She carefully laid Li Qing down and covered him with a blanket.
Then she began pacing the room, as if wrestling with a difficult decision.
After a long time, she finally made up her mind.
She leaned down, kissed Li Qing lightly on the cheek, and left the room.
When Li Qing awoke from his deep sleep, he did not immediately get up.
His eyes were empty as he stared at the ceiling, his mind blank.
“Living like this… is meaningless.
I might as well die.
”Just as he was thinking about ways to end his life, Zhao Ruoxi entered again.
This time, a strong stench of blood accompanied her.
Bang!
She tossed a string of five human heads before Li Qing.
“The ones who assaulted you, I’ve killed them all!
”“Of course, I know they were only following orders.
”“The one who commanded them… was Qin Shou of Lianshan.
”Hearing that name, a faint glimmer of light returned to Li Qing’s lifeless eyes.
“But right now, I can’t touch him.
Not only is Qin Shou’s cultivation higher than mine, but his backer is also someone I cannot yet shake.
”“But I promise you, one day, I will return to him all the pain he caused you a thousandfold.
” Zhao Ruoxi spoke softly but firmly.
Li Qing only nodded slightly, saying nothing.
“Oh, and I found a cultivation technique for you.
”Seeing Li Qing’s lifeless expression, Senior Sister Zhao took out a jade slip and handed it to him.
“Cultivation technique?
”Li Qing hesitated at first, unwilling to take it.
But when Zhao Ruoxi said that this technique was especially suited to him, he hesitated for a moment longer before finally accepting it and reading.
“Scripture of Reversing Order?
”At first, Li Qing seemed indifferent, but when he read the line ‘To master this art, one must first castrate oneself,’ his whole body trembled.
He suddenly looked up at Zhao Ruoxi.
Zhao Ruoxi explained softly, “This is a technique hidden deep within the Secret Pavilion of the Grand Dao Sect.
Its origin is unknown, and because the cultivation requirement is too harsh, almost no one has ever practiced it.
”“I searched nearly the entire pavilion to find this method that suits you best.
”A spark of hope ignited in Li Qing’s heart as he eagerly continued to read the jade slip.
“Heaven and Earth are boundless, the cosmos follows order, Yin and Yang follow the Dao.
”“This is the law of nature.
”“Yet by reversing Yin and Yang, one may seize creation itself and step into True Immortality.
”...
Just the opening preface alone completely captivated Li Qing’s mind.
Forgetting everything around him, he became fully immersed in this mysterious and extraordinary technique.
“To reach the realm of True Immortal…”“If that is possible, then even self-castration is nothing worth fearing.
”After finishing a quick read-through, Li Qing could not help but think so.
