One Trait Draw Per Year Even Simulations Count

Back during the third simulation, Chen Yi was still a Small Fry who had to live by the moods of the two spirit monkeys.

At that time, the spirit monkeys had spotted Chen Yi holding the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

If Chen Yi had done anything truly vicious, that third simulation might have ended prematurely under the monkeys’ sticks.

But now things were different.

"Master, is this the Martial God?"

Zhuge Zhujin nodded in affirmation.

"This is truly the person with the highest cultivation in the world, his bearing is extraordinary!"

That habit of flattering probably had something to do with Zhuge Zhujin—like master, like disciple.

Chen Yi said to the two monkeys.

"I want to send both of you to the Path to Immortality, do you accept?"

The Fiery-Eyed Golden Monkey raised his hand anxiously, "I accept! I accept!"

The Four-Eyed Spiritual Monkey looked more reserved and did not say much, but there was longing in his eyes.

Chen Yi understood that the Four-Eyed Spiritual Monkey was not shy, but calculating—he was probably scheming about something right now.

After the Fiery-Eyed Golden Monkey said he accepted, he suddenly realized something.

"But my cultivation and my Four-Eyed brother’s cultivation are shallow, we probably can’t go up the Path to Immortality yet, right? Maybe we should train harder, grow stronger, then go?"

Chen Yi shook his head.

"No need. You two are natives of the Real Realm. I estimate there will be no obstacle for you returning to the Real Realm."

At those words the Fiery-Eyed Golden Monkey immediately grew sentimental, ran over and grabbed Zhuge Zhujin’s hand.

"Master, your disciple has not yet had the chance to fulfill filial duty but must depart. Please accept a kowtow from your disciple! If one day I can attain heaven-reaching skills in the Real Realm, I will return to this world and bring Master with me to the higher realm to enjoy bliss!"

The Four-Eyed Spiritual Monkey remained silent, his four eyes scanning about.

After finishing his kowtow, the Fiery-Eyed Golden Monkey suddenly remembered that the Path to Immortality only allowed one person to go at a time—who would go first, him or the Four-Eyed Spiritual Monkey?

Chen Yi pointed at the Four-Eyed Spiritual Monkey.

"This time you go with me first."

All four eyes of the Four-Eyed Spiritual Monkey lit up. His face burst with joy and he kowtowed straight toward Chen Yi.

"Thank you, O Martial God, for granting this opportunity!"

Seeing this, the Fiery-Eyed Golden Monkey rubbed his head.

"I kowtowed too early, Master. I can still accompany you for another year."

Chen Yi said nothing; he had no intention of letting the Fiery-Eyed Golden Monkey leave.

At least until Ji Wuqing arrived, one monkey had to remain in the human world.

Otherwise Ji Wuqing would have no reason to come to the human world looking for a monkey.

Why it had to be Ji Wuqing who came looking for a monkey was Chen Yi’s own calculated move.

In the sixth simulation, Chen Yi would definitely go to the Real Realm.

Skirmishing with the Dragon-Man tribe in the Void Realm was meaningless. Pursuing higher realms and true longevity was the eternal theme.

If he could obtain power that exceeded the Void Realm’s limit, any Dragon-Man or world war would be resolved in an instant!

Ji Wuqing was from the Real Realm.

The Real Realm was vast, but Chen Yi’s simulations would repeat many times; if he encountered her, perhaps the monkey left in the human world could be used to establish a connection.

In short, this line needed an opportunity.

His Networking King passive was still in play!

Afterwards, Chen Yi, accompanied by the Four-Eyed Spiritual Monkey, went south to the Southern Borderlands to find Hua Wuyan, asking her to help with a teleport.

"You want this monkey to take the Path to Immortality? Can it go up?"

"Try it. There’s no one else using it this year anyway, I already asked around."

Hua Wuyan sometimes could not understand Chen Yi’s actions.

But she could only respect them.

After all, the Path to Immortality had been discovered by others and secured by them.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Yi, Hua Wuyan, and the Four-Eyed Spiritual Monkey arrived at the end of the North Sea.

The Path to Immortality shone once again across heaven and earth.

"Go, Four-Eyed kid."

Chen Yi had little good impression of this two-faced betrayer.

It would be best if this guy went to the Real Realm, so he wouldn’t cause trouble in the human world and force Chen Yi to waste energy cleaning up his mess.

With Chen Yi’s help, the Four-Eyed Spiritual Monkey, who still could not fly, was lifted into the air by a gust of wind.

Then the wind dissipated and the Four-Eyed Spiritual Monkey stood steadily on the Path to Immortality.

"How does it feel?"

"O Martial God, I feel no resistance!"

"Then I guessed right. You are indeed a native of the Real Realm, so this path leading to the Real Realm poses no barrier."

"Then, O Martial God, I’m going!"

"Go on, go on."

"When I have cultivated successfully in the Real Realm, I will definitely return to repay you!"

"No need, no need. Hurry and go."

As the Four-Eyed Spiritual Monkey disappeared toward the end of the Path to Immortality, Chen Yi laughed out loud.

"Finally finished."

[Simulation Task Progress: 4/4.]

[Guidance Task Completed!]

[Rewards Have Been Issued!]

After five years of ups and downs, Chen Yi finally completed this simulation task and obtained a new simulation opportunity!

Seeing Chen Yi grinning like a fool, Hua Wuyan asked puzzledly.

"Is your relationship with that monkey so bad you’re happy to see him go?"

"Senior Hu, you wouldn’t understand even if I explained. Let’s go, we can return to the Five Regions."

...

Baiyun County, Chen Mansion.

Night had fallen again.

After eating and drinking, Chen Yi went out into the courtyard and, under the moonlight, prepared to start the sixth simulation.

"Let’s first see what rewards this simulation gives."

First was a set of Heaven-Grade Spirit Artifacts, including a full suit of armor and a blade-like spirit weapon with a very long blade balanced almost equally by its hilt, resembling a heavy slashing cavalry saber.

Chen Yi liked all polearms and long weapons—big swings and wide arcs fit his style; they were useful when he went berserk.

However, truth be told, the strength of these Heaven-Grade Spirit Artifacts somewhat lagged behind Chen Yi’s current realm.

This pile of spirit gear would probably gather dust in the Storage Ring.

Most likely they’d be used later as a meeting gift for a fortunate junior, something handed over as a token.

Now you know why senior characters in novels often hand juniors gifts as greetings.

Rather than letting items sit in storage and rust, better to let them serve a bit more purpose.

Besides a set of spirit gear, there was a martial art manual, Divine Armament Revelation.

The function of that martial art wasn’t the point; the point was that its grade was Immortal-Grade!

The human world had no Immortal-Grade martial arts.

The highest was Heaven-Grade.

Once the simulation began, he’d spend some time studying to see what Immortal-Grade martial art could do.

There was also one "Epic or above Premium Trait draw chance." Chen Yi, acting on impulse, decided to draw that trait before starting the simulation.

"Probably another guaranteed floor again. They say Epic or above, but it always ends up Epic."

This time Chen Yi guessed wrong.

With a deft draw, he actually snatched a gold star flare!

"No way! A gold trait, and a premium one. What does it do?"

[Dragonbane (Gold Legendary):

In battle, your hands can ignore all methods and rules, piercing Dragon-type entities as if cutting through tofu.

Definition of Dragon-type: any race whose name contains 'dragon', any being resembling a dragon in form; may be biological or non-biological.

Go forth, chosen youth, and make the dragons tremble!]

After reading the effect, Chen Yi’s face went dark.

"This trait... why couldn’t you have appeared in the fifth simulation?"

After adjusting his trait settings, Chen Yi initiated the simulation.

"Begin, my sixth life stage!"
