Chapter 13: One Step Closer to the Truth

Xianxia: Establishing an Immortal Clan Through Simulation 

Chapter 13: One Step Closer to the Truth

【Because of the reputation you had earned by overwhelming the younger generation of the Lin Clan last time, you did not take part in this coming-of-age ceremony and directly took first place. At this moment, an unexpected incident occurred.】

【From the audience stands, Wang Jinglun, the Wang Clan Young Master, challenged you. He wanted to prove that he was the greatest genius below the Three Young Masters. You accepted the challenge and defeated Wang Jinglun (Fifth Level of the Acquired Realm) with overwhelming strength (While showing a Peak Fifth Level Acquired Realm cultivation). After this battle, you not only firmly established yourself as the strongest genius below the Three Young Masters of Gentle Breeze City, but also completely dispelled the rumors Wang Jinglun had painstakingly spread about you. However, you consequently incurred the enmity of the Wang Clan Young Master.】

【Lin Clan Chronology 214, August 11: The Wang Clan received a mysterious visitor. The following day, the Wang Clan Young Master and an elderly man left Gentle Breeze City with the mysterious visitor. Their whereabouts were unknown.】

【Lin Clan Chronology 214, September 14: The first batch of mid-grade spiritual herbs matured. After deducting the costs, you received 769 low-grade spirit stones in profit.】

【Lin Clan Chronology 218, November 2: Your cultivation reached the Sixth Level of the Innate Realm.】

【The following year, with a large supply of mid-grade spiritual herbs, your Great-Grandfather was the first to cultivate to the peak of the early Master stage, only one step away from the middle stage.】

【Lin Clan Chronology 220, February 3: News suddenly spread that the Lin Clan possessed a Mid-Grade Spirit Field. Gentle Breeze City began to seethe beneath the surface. Three days later, the Wang Clan, Zhao Clan, and Huang Clan, together with the Li Clan and Yuan Clan, attempted to pressure the Lin Clan into handing over the Mid-Grade Spirit Field.】

【The Lin Clan naturally refused, and the two sides erupted into conflict. More than a hundred Innate Realm martial artists from the five clans attacked with overwhelming force. At the critical moment, your Second Great-Grandfather stepped forward and unleashed the cultivation of the peak of the early Master stage, suppressing the opposing side single-handedly. However, no one had expected that the Wang Clan, ranked third among the Ten Great Clans, also had a powerhouse at the peak of the early Master stage protecting it. Working together with numerous Innate Realm martial artists, he easily suppressed your Second Great-Grandfather. Left with no choice, your Great-Grandfather finally revealed himself and, with the overwhelming combat power of the middle Master stage, effortlessly turned the tide of the battle.】

【Seeing this, the alliance of the five clans was utterly terrified and hurriedly fled. However, faced with a super powerhouse at the middle Master stage, they had nowhere to escape. At the critical moment, the Wang Clan revealed its backing—the Wang Clan of Wutong County. Only then did you learn that the Wang Clan of Gentle Breeze City was actually a branch of the Wutong County Wang Clan.】

【Out of concern for the consequences, your Great-Grandfather had no choice but to abandon his intention of eliminating the Wang Clan completely and allowed its members to leave. The other four clans, however, were not so fortunate. That night, blood flowed through the streets of Gentle Breeze City.】

………

“Gasp…”

The course of events had undergone a fundamental change.

“The changes brought about by the Master-Reaching Pills are truly enormous.”

Seeing this, Lin Zichen could not help sighing inwardly. At the same time, he became even more eager to see what would happen next.

He had heard of the Wutong County Wang Clan before.

It was an established second-rate force with unfathomably deep foundations. Six Master Realm powerhouses had publicly revealed themselves, and one of them was even a late Master stage super powerhouse—an entire minor realm stronger than the old patriarch of the Lin Clan in the simulation.

In theory, a clan with such profound foundations would never spread the news far and wide after learning that the Lin Clan possessed a Mid-Grade Spirit Field, much less join forces with the various clans in the city to divide the Lin Clan’s opportunity among themselves.

With the strength of the Wutong County Wang Clan, they could have simply taken the Lin Clan’s opportunity for themselves.

“Let me see what kind of scheme is really hiding beneath all this.”

Muttering to himself, a cold glint flashed through Lin Zichen’s eyes.

Regardless of who it was, anyone who dared to target the Lin Clan was making an enemy of him. Moreover, he had a feeling that the Wang Clan’s actions were somehow closely connected to the young man who had killed him with a single sword in the first simulation in pursuit of “Yan’er.”

He continued staring at the screen.

【Lin Clan Chronology 220, February 4: The news that the Zhao, Huang, Li, and Yuan Clans—the four major clans that had attacked the Lin Clan yesterday—had been annihilated, excluding the Wang Clan, immediately spread throughout Gentle Breeze City and continued spreading toward the surrounding cities. At the same time, news that the Wang Clan was a branch of the Wutong County Wang Clan also spread throughout the streets and alleys. The news that the Lin Clan had a powerhouse at the peak of the early Master stage and another at the middle Master stage protecting it shocked the surrounding forces.】

【Lin Clan Chronology 220, February 6: People from the Wutong County Wang Clan arrived. Wang Clan Leader Wang Chongyang, a late Master stage super powerhouse, personally led the operation, accompanied by two middle Master stage powerhouses and the early Master stage powerhouse of the Gentle Breeze City Wang Clan. Without saying a word, they attacked the Lin Clan. Faced with such an overwhelmingly powerful lineup, your Great-Grandfather and Second Great-Grandfather were no match for them and were suppressed in an instant. Because you performed exceptionally well during the battle, you were also killed by a Wang Clan Master Realm powerhouse.】

【Because of your death, this simulation has ended.】

………

“The Wang Clan actually attacked directly?”

“Could it be… that they were targeting my Lin Clan from the very beginning?”

Looking at the simulated text on the screen, Lin Zichen’s gaze narrowed slightly. He could sense the sinister conspiracy hidden within it, and he felt that he was one step closer to uncovering the truth.

“Judging from how events have developed from the first simulation until now, the reason my Lin Clan has repeatedly been targeted by the Wang Clan is probably closely related to that mysterious man. It may even be that he was the one ordering the Wang Clan to target my Lin Clan.”

“But if he has the ability to command an established second-rate force like the Wang Clan, dealing with my Lin Clan should be incredibly easy. Why go through so much trouble?”

“Or could it be that the Lin Clan has hidden foundations that I don't know about?”

As a transmigrator who had read various web novels extensively, Lin Zichen was not without his wits. By piecing together all the clues, he deduced a reason that seemed absurd, yet was highly plausible.

What puzzled him, however, was this:

What exactly was the mysterious young man's reason for going to such great lengths?

Ding! 

【Congratulations, Host. The simulation was successful. The following rewards have been generated. You may choose one.】

【1. The hatred of the Wang Clan Young Master.】

【2. 169 low-grade spirit stones.】

【3. One mid-grade spiritual herb.】

Just as Lin Zichen was filled with questions, a cold, mechanical notification suddenly sounded in his mind.

The rewards generated by this simulation had appeared.

Looking at the three rewards before him, the corner of Lin Zichen's mouth twitched.

There was nothing wrong with the other two rewards, but the first one was a little ridiculous.

The Wang Clan Young Master's hatred—was that really a reward?

After complaining inwardly, Lin Zichen immediately eliminated the first option and turned his attention to the second and third rewards.

“169 spirit stones and one mid-grade spiritual herb. In terms of value, the mid-grade spiritual herb is definitely worth more. But I'm only a minor Acquired Realm martial artist right now. I can't even properly make use of a mid-grade spiritual herb. As for exchanging it for spirit stones... forget it. That would be too troublesome.”

“I choose number two.”

Lin Zichen quickly made his decision.

Immediately afterward, 169 low-grade spirit stones appeared inside his system storage space.

“Continue the simulation.”
