The Simulation Must-Eat List, Released

[Seeing that you were about to bow to him, Wan Sanqian immediately circulated his cultivation method frantically, his speed surging.]

[The speed at which this large fat man took a step almost made him take flight, hurriedly supporting your elbows.]

["Great Hero Chen, you flatter me! Anyone in that situation would have chosen to help you! Even knowing you were not the Shen Family Patriarch, and even if there was no benefit to be gained, I would not just watch the Shen Family bully the weak and use numbers to their advantage!"]

[Your connections reached the heavens, yet you did not hold a high position in any faction, nor did you hold any official post in any imperial court.]

[When everyone addressed you, calling you directly by your name felt inappropriate.]

[So now, they simply all called you Great Hero Chen.]

[It took Wan Sanqian only a second to realize what you meant by your apology.]

[Back at the Shen Family, you had impersonated the Shen Family Patriarch, getting Wan Sanqian to help you deal with the Shen Family experts by promising him thirty percent of the Star Domain. Of course, that was a lie.]

[You were apologizing for this very matter.]

[But who were you now?]

[Setting aside your connections for a moment.]

[With a single punch, you pierced through the Four Patriarchs and forced back a million-strong demon army!]

[It wouldn't be long before your legendary tale spread throughout the entire Five Domains, and everyone would sing praises of your good name.]

[You even wielded a Great Dao Immortal Weapon!]

[Wan Sanqian and the others all knew that a Great Dao Immortal Weapon did not acknowledge a master; it only formed cooperative relationships.]

[To be acknowledged by a Great Dao Immortal Weapon—how could a mere Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Laws Sect like him accept a bow from you?]

[The Sword Master revealed an expression of sudden realization.]

["So the 'benefactor' you mentioned referred to the Shen Family. I'm afraid this 'benefactor' didn't give it to you willingly, did they?"]

[You scratched your head and said, somewhat conflicted.]

["If you say they were willing, that works. If you say they weren't willing, that works too..."]

[Everyone present was shrewd and experienced.]

[They had also seen you take out the smoking Universe Mirror, knowing you must have caused trouble in the Star Domain.]

[This group of people admired you even more.]

[What kind of deity were you?]

[You went to the Demon Realm and returned safely!]

[You caused an uproar in the Shen Family and returned safely too!]

[You even managed to fleece the Shen Family of their Great Dao Immortal Weapon.]

[Outrageous!]

[The big shots from various factions immediately stated their stances.]

["Rest assured, Great Hero Chen. The Shen Family is the Shen Family, and the Five Domains are the Five Domains. If the Shen Family comes looking for trouble with you, my Beast Taming Sect will be the first to object!"]

["The treasures of the world belong to the capable! If the Shen Family dares to come, the Five Domains will be of one mind!"]

["What Shen Family! Every time the Five Domains faces a crisis, they are nowhere to be seen to lend a helping hand. They've probably stayed in the Star Domain for so long they truly believe they are deities!"]

["The resources of the Star Domain should belong to everyone in the world. The Shen Family has occupied them for tens of thousands of years. I've long been displeased with them!"]

[Listening to these voices, you only had one thought in your heart.]

[Reassurance.]

[After three days and three nights of rewarding the three armies, the Five Domains allied forces each began their journey back.]

[Year sixty-nine, eighty-seven years old.]

[Time hurried by, and a few years passed.]

[Your cultivation improved to the sixth level of the Soul Condensation Realm.]

[After the war ended, the Five Domains returned to peace.]

[You and the Empress went to the Northern Territory together to claim the grand gift of a hundred thousand acres of pasture given to you by your eldest brother.]

[Now, your third sister's family had also settled in the Northern Territory, owning fifty thousand acres of pasture.]

["Lingyue, you've been staying with me in the Northern Territory all this time. Is it really okay for you not to go to the Southern Border?"]

[On the boundless vast grassland, the wind blew the tall grass low, revealing cattle and sheep.]

[You and Li Lingyue lay in the wild grass that was taller than a person, gazing at the blue sky and white clouds, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility.]

["There are people handling the government affairs in the Southern Border. If there's anything urgent, they will notify me."]

[You looked at Li Lingyue, just about to exchange some affection, when you heard Shen Jia's voice.]

["Uncle! My dad is back! Mom is calling you and Auntie to have dinner together tonight!"]

[It wasn't until today that Shen Qingshan officially resigned from his post in the Great Qian Dynasty and came to the Northern Territory to retire.]

[After all, you and Chen Yun were from the Central Plains and were not accustomed to living in the felt tents of the Northern Territory people.]

[So Chen Jing ordered people to build two grand mansions in an area close to the Central Plains—one for you and the Empress to live in, and one for Chen Yun's family.]

[He also provided over a hundred servants to take care of your daily lives and manage the mansions.]

[This place was not far from the Central Plains. If you felt the grassland life was monotonous, it wouldn't take much time to travel to the Central Plains for fun.]

[Your third sister, Chen Yun, was a mortal.]

[You had seen her talent: no spiritual roots, no special physique, though her fortune was not considered low among mortals, peaking at 45.]

[Chen Yun was three years older than you and was now at the advanced age of ninety.]

[Your eldest brother, Chen Jing, had provided her with many rare medicines to nourish her body.]

[At the same time, he went to cling to the thigh of the Northern Territory's Great Elder, crying bitterly to beg for a Longevity Grass to extend Chen Yun's life.]

[Chen Yun was now incredibly old and frail, requiring the support and care of servants just to move around.]

[After arriving at your third sister's mansion, you met Shen Qingshan.]

[You shockingly discovered.]

[Although Shen Qingshan was still only at the Golden Body Realm, he possessed a special physique, and it was a Holy Physique!]

[Twin Soul Holy Physique: Your body can simultaneously house two independent souls. The personalities do not affect each other, cultivation can be stacked, and the cultivation aptitude takes after the stronger of the two souls.]

["This..."]

[At this moment, you understood some things.]

[In the third simulation, after Shen Qingshan was taken away by the Shen Family, he never returned to the Five Domains.]

[He didn't have an accident during the Mirror Holder selection.]

[He had truly hit the jackpot!]

Outside the simulation, Chen Yi's mouth was slightly agape as he sighed in admiration.

"Good heavens, my Chen Family doesn't raise idlers!"

His third sister, who seemed to have absolutely no chance at cultivation, had actually found a husband with a Holy Physique!

Looking at the description of the Twin Soul Holy Physique, it was practically tailor-made for the Shen Family Patriarch.

He didn't need to possess a body; he could choose to coexist with Shen Qingshan's personality!

The benefits of this were self-evident.

Possession was not tolerated by the rules of heaven and earth.

No matter how peerless a genius the Shen Family Patriarch was, or how perfect a secret technique he developed, there would always be some side effects.

But with Shen Qingshan, the Shen Family Patriarch could take a direct shortcut and avoid possession altogether!

Moreover, once the Shen Family Patriarch entered Shen Qingshan's body, Shen Qingshan's cultivation talent would synchronize with the Shen Family Patriarch's, and their cultivation could even stack!

The Shen Family Patriarch might even be able to take things a step further and reach new heights!

"The benefits probably don't stop there. A Holy Physique can undergo a second awakening. In other words, this isn't Shen Qingshan's fortunate encounter; rather, it's the Shen Family Patriarch's fortunate encounter!"

The Shen Family Patriarch didn't necessarily have a special physique.

Even if he did, it wasn't necessarily a Holy Physique.

And even if it was a Holy Physique, would he mind having an extra one?

To think that in the third simulation, the so-called "great fortune" Shen Linfeng used to trick Shen Qingshan actually hit the mark and became real!

"I understand now. The must-do list for the next simulation is already out.

First, take the Sword Master as my master.

Then, escort the Empress to the Southern Border.

Have Shen Qingshan cultivate the True Sun Mantra and send him to the Star Domain to become a Patriarch, forming yet another powerful connection for me.

Wait for eldest brother and Li Chengqian's secret edict war to finish, acknowledge my eldest brother, and then become sworn brothers with the Emperor."
