“Simulation ended, you can choose to keep one of the following rewards.” “First, the combat experience of a Fourth-grade Martial Artist.” “Second, a decade worth of True Qi accumulation.”

“Third, the content and annotations of ten Taoist canons.”

Pei Xuanjing chose the first option, integrating all his experiences of traveling the world and fighting with martial artists of the same realm into his mind. All he needed was some time to familiarize himself, then he could fully demonstrate the strength of a Fourth-grade Martial Artist.

As time passed, the opening of the Forbidden Place, the Blessed Land, was drawing near.

Not only the various forces in Anping Prefecture were preparing, but martial artists of the right age from all over the Northwest Dao were also slowly gathering here.

“These are the opponents you need to beware within the Blessed Land, ” Gu Ji handed a list to Pei Xuanjing.

Pei Xuanjing took it and looked through the rather long list.

The information about these people on the list was very detailed, providing their backgrounds, names, ages, martial art realms and skills.

There’s no denying that Gu Ji made a lot of preparations for this Blessed Land event. Judging by the effort put into this list, he had been very thorough.

As Pei Xuanjing looked over the list, Gu Ji warned, “Most of these people shouldn’t pose a problem for you, but there are a few you need to be careful of: the successors of the Tie Sect, the Liu family from Longxi, the four alternate sword masters of the Four Symbols Sword Sect, and the successor of the Diamond Gate.”

Pei Xuanjing nodded, “What’s special about those people from the Four Symbols Sword Sect?”

The reason he asked was because among these families, whether it was the Tie Sect, the Liu family from Longxi, or the successor of the Diamond Gate, all were of Martial Artists of the Fifth Rank while the four alternate sword masters of the Four Symbols Sword Sect were only of the Sixth Grade.

Gu Ji explained, “The Four Symbols Sword Sect’s foundational skill is the ‘Four Symbols Sword Skill’ , said to have been created by the founder under the guidance of Ancestor Sanfeng of the True Martial Sect. The skill integrates the two elements to form the Four Images, later forged ‘Yin-yang, Lesser Yin-Lesser Yang’ four Divine Weapons, each generation has four sword masters in charge. So even though these four are only sixth-grade, they can use the Four Symbols Sword formation to fight, there have been records of them winning over fifth-grade enemies.”

“I see,” Pei Xuanjing nodded, “seems there are many capable hands in this Forbidden Place.”

During the previous life simulation, Pei Xuanjing only had a rough idea about his participation in the Forbidden Place. The details were glossed over by the simulator.

Seeing Gu Ji’s provided intelligence on potential challengers, he can’t help but feel surprised.

With so many capable fighters within this Forbidden Place, he wonders how he had managed to seize the treasure and successfully bring it out. He must have been very lucky.

“So, you’ll need to be extremely careful this time,” Gu Ji re-emphasized.

Not knowing that Pei Xuanjing had already reached the Fourth grade, he assumed that Pei was still a Fifth Rank Martial Artist. Therefore, he believed that even if Pei was a genius, he probably couldn’t handle all these opponents simultaneously.

Pei Xuanjing nodded, “I understand.”

Even though he had already broken through to the Fourth Grade, he didn’t think he’d be invincible within the Forbidden Place.

Changing the subject, he asked Gu Ji about the origins of the Four Symbols Sword Sect, “Does the founder of the Four Symbols Sword Sect truly have a connection with Ancestor Sanfeng?”

The Four Sacred Beasts, Qinglong, White Tiger, Zhuque, and Xuanwu, represent the four elements:

gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, water, wind, fire.

Tai Chi gives birth to the Two Elements, and the two Elements form the Four Images.

He realized that he might have been in the wrong direction before. Why did he feel that only gold, wood, water, and fire could represent the Four Images?

Yin-yang, Lesser Yin-Lesser Yang can represent the Four Images, so do gold, wood, water, fire, spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

Pei Xuanjing felt that his plan to integrate the “Four Spirits Skill” was somewhat biased.

At this moment, he’s even looking forward to meeting the people from the Four Symbols Sword Sect in Forbidden Place, having a premonition that it would greatly benefit his future skill fusion.

“What relationship? They’re just trying to glorify themselves,” Gu Ji shrugged disparagingly.

He was dismissive of the rumor that the founder of the Four Symbols Sword Sect had listened to Ancestor Sanfeng’s preaching, thinking that the founder was just trying to glorify himself by associating with Ancestor Sanfeng. After all, he, like everyone else, was aware of how favored the True Martial Sect was by successive emperors of Great Ming.

Pei Xuanjing nodded, regardless, he was determined to have a go with the people from the Four Symbols Sword Sect.

“Of course, remember not to underestimate them,” Gu Ji added.

While looking down on them, Gu Ji acknowledged the strength of the Four Symbols Sword Sect. Having been rooted in the Northwest for hundreds of years, this top-tier faction was not to be trifled with. Especially the potential guardians of the Four Symbols Divine Weapons, they should not be underestimated.

Anping Prefecture, Liu family.

The head of the Liu family, Liu Chengxiong, gathered with several elders.

Liu Chengxiong greeted the two Fourth-grade elders, “Elders, tonight I have asked you here to discuss the imminent opening of the Forbidden Place.”

One of the Fourth -grade elders frowned, “Hasn’t this matter been settled? Why bring it up again? is there a problem, Family Head?”

The Liu family attached great importance to this Forbidden Place. Whether they could obtain the treasure inside determined their future development.

Even the death of Liu Chengshi had been endured for the sake of preventing any disturbance at this critical time.

Hearing Family Head Liu Chengxiong mention it again, the elders present couldn’t help feeling anxious.

Liu Chengxiong looked around, “According to the latest news I received, the Prefecture Lord is also getting involved in the struggle for the treasure, and it is likely to be Pei Xuanjing who killed Chengshi.”

“The Prefecture Lord is going too far.”

“How dare he…”

“We should have had our elder personally kill him back then…”

The elders present started to voice their opinions.

The Fourth-grade elder coughed slightly, and when everyone quieted down, he turned his gaze to Liu Chengxiong, “So, what is the Family Head going to do?”

Liu Chengxiong stated, “This Forbidden Place event is of great importance, and our Liu family is determined to obtain the treasure. Therefore, I have decided to send more people inside.”

The elder furrowed his brows, “As far as I know, there’s no one else suitable from our family to enter.”

Liu Chengxiong said, “I’ve decided to let Rui Long enter..”
