86 – The Lone Star of Calamity and Heaven-Level Technique

In the blink of an eye, three months had passed. During these three months, to earn Jiang Huai’s trust, you helped him stabilize his soul body and chose to become his disciple.

Jiang Huai was quite surprised by your request to become his disciple but eventually agreed.

Over the next two years, you found a fourth-grade precious herb to help him nurture his soul and gained more of his trust.

To earn your trust, Jiang Huai not only taught you many secret techniques but also passed down the Heaven-level Technique, the Sunset Sword Technique.

During these two years, you successfully cultivated the Sunset Sword Technique and found nothing wrong with it.

After mastering the Sunset Sword Technique, you took Ye Chen with you to the Purple Sun Mountain Range for teleportation.

After arriving at the Seven Star Archipelago, you found an opportunity to eliminate Jiang Huai. You knew very well that once Jiang Huai reached the Seven Star Archipelago, he would have countless means to restore his soul power. If you continued to let him go unchecked, you wouldn’t be able to deal with him soon.

You then wandered the Seven Star Archipelago with Ye Chen, who was in the Innate Realm, looking for an opportunity to join the Seven Star Palace.

However, unexpected events occurred. Ye Chen found a treasure at a market, getting entangled with a local ruffian. In a fit of rage, Ye Chen injured him.

Who would have thought that this ruffian was actually the only son of an old monster with perfection in the Spirit Sea Realm? Enraged by Ye Chen’s actions, the old monster found you and started a fierce battle.

Though you comprehended seventy percent of Sword Intent, your cultivation was ultimately too low, only at the initial stage of the Spirit Sea Realm, not a match for this exceptionally powerful old monster. In the end, you were forced to use the Heaven-level Technique, the Sunset Sword Technique, barely managing to kill the old monster.

However, this completely stirred up trouble. The appearance of a Heaven-level Technique drove all the forces in the Seven Star Archipelago mad. Even the Seven Star Palace couldn’t stay calm and sent experts to chase you.

You were extremely frustrated and finally confirmed one thing: Ye Chen, this child of fortune, definitely had the fate of a Lone Star of Calamity.

Next, you fled desperately with Ye Chen. You knew very well that if you split up to escape, Ye Chen might escape and gain a great opportunity, while you would definitely die.

If you stayed with Ye Chen, you might rely on a bit of his luck to survive. Therefore, you absolutely couldn’t separate from Ye Chen.

While you were pondering, Ye Chen also said something like ‘This is his fault, and he is willing to go out to divert the enemies.’ Your face twitched, and you sternly refused to let Ye Chen ‘sacrifice’ himself. Ye Chen was moved and vowed that if he escaped alive, he would definitely kill all these experts in the future.

Soon, you were cornered by a strong practitioner in the Spirit Embryo Realm. Knowing you couldn’t win, you unhesitatingly used the Scarlet Clan’s essence blood to activate the ancient jade. The ancient jade unleashed divine might, killing the Spirit Embryo Realm practitioner into a blood mist.

You continued to flee, looking for a new hiding place. However, you were soon discovered by a strong practitioner in the Spirit Nurturing Realm. With no means of escape, you could only hope Ye Chen could unleash a luck halo.

Then, a figure suddenly appeared in the sky, inexplicably taking Ye Chen away. Even the Spirit Nurturing Realm practitioner didn’t react. This scene left you silent and frustrated beyond words.

Next, the Spirit Nurturing Realm practitioner didn’t waste words, directly using soul power to impact your sea of consciousness, shattering your soul and beginning a soul search.

Because of the shattering of your soul, you died. However, due to the Rebirth Talisman, you revived.

The Spirit Nurturing Realm practitioner was extremely surprised by your resurrection, then delighted, thinking you had some great treasure. But after reviving, knowing you couldn’t escape, you unhesitatingly chose to self-destruct, and you died again.

Because of your death, this simulation ends.

This is truly the fate of a Lone Star of Calamity.

Wang Ping looked at this simulation content, his face twitching, unable to speak.

Just having arrived at the Seven Star Archipelago, he had already caused a great enemy to emerge, forcing him to use the Sunset Sword Technique, resulting in being hunted by all the experts in the Seven Star Archipelago. It’s quite absurd.

This disciple really can’t be accepted.

Accepting him would risk his own life.

And even when in desperate situations, he would die easily, whereas Ye Chen would be directly taken away by someone.

If nothing unexpected happens, this must be a super expert who coincidentally passed by, noticing Ye Chen’s ‘extraordinary’ nature, and intending to take him as a disciple.

“In the Life Simulator, even if I directly gave up on Ye Chen, handing him over to that perfection in the Spirit Sea Realm practitioner, it would still lead to a dead end.”

Wang Ping sighed.

If he really handed Ye Chen over to the master of the Spirit Sea Realm, even if Ye Chen went through hardships, he might just survive…

Moreover, Ye Chen would extremely resent him, seeking revenge on his ‘benevolent’ master in the future.

Then, Ye Chen would end him… Ye Chen would obtain all his treasures and continue to level up.

“Unless one’s own fate is exceptionally strong, meeting a protagonist with the Heavenly Lone Star fate, one must never become his mentor or close friend. Otherwise, it’s asking to trigger his upgrade buff.”

Wang Ping grumbled with a face full of helplessness.

“However, this simulation has clarified one thing. Even if the soul perishes, it can still be resurrected. This Rebirth Talisman is indeed formidable, worthy of being a product from the chat group.”

Wang Ping once again marveled at the powerful effect of the Rebirth Talisman.

Unfortunately, every time, he faced old monsters far beyond his strength, rendering the second life useless. Even if resurrected, it only led to another death… very frustrating.

Of course, no matter what, the use of the Rebirth Talisman cannot be denied.

To think it’s worthless would indeed be foolishness.

“System, I want to perform a free simulation.”

After pondering for a moment, Wang Ping spoke again.

Since it was confirmed that Ye Chen, this guy, indeed had the fate of the Heavenly Star of Calamity protagonist, this time’s simulation, he would not plan to take Ye Chen as a disciple.

Still, trying the normal simulation route was worth a shot.

After this simulation, he would then collect enough low-grade spirit stones and consider heading to the Seven Star Archipelago.

“Life Simulator activated, the host has six free simulation attempts remaining.”

The System’s voice sounded, the screen appeared, and texts began to float.

【First Day, you chose to cultivate.】

【Second Day, you refused Ye Chen’s request to be your disciple, encouraging him to work hard in cultivation. You told him that even without a master, he can achieve great things.】

【Your encouragement made Ye Chen full of fighting spirit. He vowed to work hard in cultivation and become as strong as you.】

【In a flash, three years passed. You successfully acquired the secret method and Sunset Sword Technique from Jiang Huai and had already gathered enough spirit stones. You decided to head to the Seven Star Archipelago.】

【Not long after you left, Ye Chen arrived at the foot of the Sword Spirit Sect mountain, wanting to join the Sword Spirit Sect.】

“Uh…”

Seeing this simulation content, Wang Ping cringed.

In previous simulations, although the Life Simulator didn’t mention much, he was sure that before leaving, he left a method to handle the potential threat of the demon Mo Fan in the future.

But now, he left, and as a result, after Ye Chen lost the Ring Grandpa from Jiang Huai, he intended to join the Sword Spirit Sect…

Unsurprisingly, with Ye Chen’s talent and the fate of a chosen one, he would undoubtedly join the Sword Spirit Sect.

By then, wouldn’t Ye Chen take Bai Tianhong or the entire Sword Spirit Sect to activate his ‘Heavenly Star of Calamity’ fate’s upgrade buff?

If that’s the case, the Sword Spirit Sect would be doomed.

Removing the Ring Grandpa has caused a huge butterfly effect. This child of fate is truly a headache.
Wang Ping shook his head, feeling conflicted.

“Forget it, I won’t worry about him. I’ll continue simulating on my own. These events will only happen in the future. Before that, if I become strong enough, I can resolve all hidden dangers…”

Wang Ping exhaled lightly, ceased overthinking, and continued to gaze at the screen.

As Wang Ping stared, more text appeared.

【After arriving at the Seven Star Archipelago, you immediately eliminated Jiang Huai to prevent his retaliation from leading to your demise.】

【Next, you joined the Seven Star Palace and began your cultivation there.】

【Twenty years later, when the Seventh Star Secret Realm opened, you decided to enter the secret realm to seek opportunities. Otherwise, becoming stronger quickly would be very difficult. Moreover, the sixth-grade fire-type spiritual item within the Seventh Star Secret Realm was something you could not miss; it was crucial for your breakthrough to the Spirit Embryo Realm.】

【After entering the secret realm, you weren’t teleported with others, which made you both relieved and regretful. According to your memory, you entered the realm once and struggled with someone to obtain a mid-grade Spirit Sword, which you eventually secured.】

【You explored the secret realm, slew demonic beasts, and acquired some resources.】

【You discovered a sixth-grade earth-type spiritual item and were deeply tempted. But upon seeing two Spirit Embryo Realm experts battling fiercely, along with several Spirit Sea Realm cultivators eyeing them covetously, you chose to give up.】

【Although your trump card could kill a Spirit Embryo Realm expert, once used, it would be gone forever. It couldn’t be wasted on an item that did not match your attribute; otherwise, you’d lose the chance to contend for the sixth-grade fire-type spiritual item.】

【Unfortunately, by the time you found the location, the battle was long over and you did not get the sixth-grade fire-type spiritual item. You merely heard that three Spirit Embryo Realm experts fought, and the fire-type item was ultimately seized by the Blazing Fire Sect’s Spirit Embryo Realm expert, Blazing Fire Daoist.】

【You planned to find Blazing Fire Daoist to see if you could obtain the sixth-grade fire-type spiritual item through trade. If not, you’d have to think of other means.】

【You found Blazing Fire Daoist and tried to trade the Red Flame Technique, but Blazing Fire Daoist wasn’t very interested, as their Blazing Fire Sect’s technique was also top-tier at the earth level.】

【However, Blazing Fire Daoist knew the value of a top-tier earth-level technique. Using it to enhance the sect’s foundation was a good choice. Thus, he directly attacked, intending to kill you and rob you of the Red Flame Technique in this secluded area. Without witnesses, even the Seven Star Palace couldn’t say much.】

【Enraged, you activated the ancient jade with Scarlet Clan blood, unleashing terrifying power that severely injured Blazing Fire Daoist. Astonished, you realized that even though Blazing Fire Daoist didn’t die, the power limit was understood.】

【Blazing Fire Daoist’s cultivation was at the grand completion of the Spirit Embryo Realm. The ancient jade couldn’t kill a grand completion Spirit Embryo expert but could severely injure them, pushing them to death’s door.】

【You speculated that it wasn’t the ancient jade being weak, but rather the Scarlet Clan blood’s power being insufficient to fully activate the jade.】

【Not wanting to give Blazing Fire Daoist a chance to recover, you used the Sunset Sword Technique for a final blow. But even near-death, his cultivation vastly surpassed yours. In a desperate counterattack, he managed to kill you too.】

【Revived by the Rebirth Talisman, you were filled with lingering fears. Spirit Embryo experts were indeed terrifying and not easily dealt with. Without the Rebirth Talisman, you’d have truly died.】

【Next, you looted the body, collecting spoils. You successfully obtained the sixth-grade fire-type spiritual item along with other treasures.】

【Knowing it would be dangerous if others noticed, you quickly left the scene.】

【Soon after, powerful figures appeared, shocked at the chaotic scene and recognizing Blazing Fire Daoist’s demise.】

【News of Blazing Fire Daoist’s death caused a huge uproar, sending shockwaves among the powerful. Spirit Embryo experts were rare and significant figures, and Blazing Fire Daoist, as the third-most important person in the Blazing Fire Sect, was unmatched in the Seven Star Archipelago. His death in the Seventh Star Secret Realm was truly astonishing.】

【Hearing the news and realizing you weren’t exposed, you felt relief and continued exploring the secret realm.】

【Half a month later, hearing commotion, you decided to investigate and witnessed a shocking scene.】

【A strong rogue cultivator at the Spirit Nurturing Realm obtained a Heaven-level Technique and fought violently. Many powerful figures surrounded him, attempting to seize the technique.】

【Knowing escape was impossible and even throwing the technique would lead to certain death, he grimaced and declared, ‘If you want me dead, I will take the Heaven-level Technique – Five Elements Fusion Technique – with me.’ Then, he chose self-destruction.】

【The self-destruction of a Spirit Nurturing cultivator was terrifying, severely injuring many experts and affecting even higher realms. Fortunately, you stayed distant enough to avoid the shockwave’s fatal impact.】

【Protecting yourself, you regretted the Technique’s loss. A Heaven-level Technique, wasted like that, was truly a shame.】

【But you couldn’t do anything about it. Knowing your limits, you realized you were too weak to compete for such treasures and entering the fray would only gift your life and other treasures to others.】
