We Agreed On Experiencing Life, So Why Did You Immortals Become Real?

As Xiao Mo’s consciousness became hazy, Xiao Mo once again returned to reality.

Xiao Mo tried to recall the life from the Book of a Hundred Lives’ fifth life, but no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn’t remember anything. Moreover, whenever Xiao Mo tried desperately to remember, that feeling of guilty heartache was like ants ceaselessly gnawing at his heart.

Xiao Mo even found it somewhat difficult to breathe.

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Xiao Mo calmed his mind.

At the same time, the voice of the Book of a Hundred Lives resonated in Xiao Mo’s mind.

[Book of a Hundred Lives fifth life experience, host’s experience is complete.]

[Task One: Host helped her conquer other nations and unify all the kingdoms in the book. She thus became emperor, standardizing wheel gauges, written script, and spoken language. Diligent in governance, she established a prosperous age.

Task Progress: Complete.

Task Rewards: Art of Military Command, Dao Through Combat.

Art of Military Command: This art of military command contains all of the host’s comprehension of military strategy from the fifth life. When the host leads armies in battle, there is a greater probability of perceiving the opponent’s troop formations, seeing through feints and realities, and soldiers’ morale is increased by thirty percent.

Dao Through Combat: The battlefield is a place of karmic cause and effect. For most cultivators, the battlefield is also a place to comprehend life and death and break through barriers. When the host goes to battle to slay enemies or fights and competes with other cultivators in the future, this can accelerate the advancement of your realm. Between life and death, enlightenment comes more easily.]

[Task Two: The higher the host’s reputation in this life, the more generous the settlement rewards.

Task Progress: Fame resounds throughout the Ten Thousand Laws Realm and the Demon Realm, with reputation even spreading to the Outer Seas.

Task Reward: Reputation.

Reputation: The more people who know the host and the higher the host’s status in people’s hearts, the more feedback from the great Dao the host can receive (effective after Golden Core realm).]

[Task Three: Cultivation must not be neglected. Whether it’s sword Dao, Confucian Dao, or martial Dao, all are the same. At the end of the fifth life, the higher the host’s realm, the more generous the rewards.

Task Progress: Jade Simplicity realm perfection.

Task Rewards: God-Slaying Spear Intent, Martial Cultivator’s Physique.

God-Slaying Spear Intent: The God-Slaying Spear technique was created by an ancient human ancestor. The spear has nine total forms. Nine is the ultimate number. When the host practices to the ninth form, you can also slay gods!

This spear intent includes the spear technique, Heaven-Opening Fist technique, and insights on cultivation apertures.

Note: This spear technique also exists in reality and has been passed down in an unbroken lineage. If the host wishes to use this spear technique in front of others, strict caution is required.

Martial Cultivator’s Physique: When the host tempers and refines the body, medicinal materials for body tempering can be absorbed to the utmost limit. Physique strength will receive a certain degree of enhancement based on the host’s actual physical strength.]

[Rewards have been fully distributed.]

[Book of a Hundred Lives sixth life is being prepared. Preparation time unknown. Once preparation is complete, the host will be notified immediately.]

[Additional Note: Because the host’s realm is low and spiritual power is relatively ordinary, to protect the host, the Book of a Hundred Lives has sealed the host’s fifth life memories. Otherwise, after experiencing five lives, the host would ‘lose self.’ As the host’s realm advances and spiritual power and soul strengthen, the Book of a Hundred Lives will gradually lift the restrictions.]

When the Book of a Hundred Lives’ final voice disappeared, Xiao Mo felt familiar yet strange knowledge flowing into his mind.d

All of this knowledge was content related to leading troops in battle.

In just an instant, Xiao Mo understood and thoroughly mastered this content.

Moreover, this wasn’t merely “knowledge from books always feels shallow.”

Xiao Mo felt that he truly had led troops in battle for a lifetime.

Xiao Mo even had a feeling.

That right now, he too could lead a great army and compete with some of the world’s famous generals.

Immediately after, a spear intent appeared out of nowhere within Xiao Mo’s body.

Just as the Book of a Hundred Lives had stated.

This spear intent contained the God-Slaying Spear technique as well as various insights.

These insights could allow Xiao Mo to avoid many detours.

Practice fists before practicing the spear.

The Heaven-Opening Fist was a prerequisite for learning the God-Slaying Spear technique, so naturally the Heaven-Opening Fist was included.

This made Xiao Mo quite delighted.

Because even if not for learning the God-Slaying Spear, this Heaven-Opening Fist was a fist technique sufficient to prove one’s Dao to the Upper Three Realms. Practicing this fist technique also had considerable benefits for one’s physique.

If an ordinary person practiced it, for instance if an emperor diligently practiced, to say nothing else, spending the night with five or six consorts would be no problem. It was a hundred times stronger than those aphrodisiacs.

Moreover, the Heaven-Opening Fist expended far less effort than the God-Slaying Spear.

Right now, he could primarily cultivate the Grass Script Sword Formula and practice the fist technique in his spare time.

When the time was right, he would then cultivate the God-Slaying Spear and just as Xiao Mo was experiencing this God-Slaying Spear, Xiao Mo suddenly felt intense pain throughout his body.

This sensation was as if his muscles, tendons, bones, and skin were being kneaded together, then crushed, then reshaped anew.

Xiao Mo quickly grabbed a soft pillow to bite down on, fearing he would cry out and draw Wei Xun inside.

An incense stick’s time later.

Xiao Mo lay on the soft couch in the imperial study, his clothes already soaked with sweat.

This time there was no excretion from his pores. Xiao Mo felt that his body seemed to have become much “harder.”

It wasn’t the hardness of being solid as rock, but rather a kind of toughness.

In common terms, his defense had increased and his maximum health had also thickened.

Xiao Mo changed into clean clothes and walked out of the imperial study.

“Your Majesty.”

Seeing His Majesty emerge, Wei Xun hurriedly bowed in salute.

Wei Xun stole a glance at His Majesty and couldn’t help but freeze slightly. Why did it feel like His Majesty looked even more handsome than before?

“Wei Xun, prepare the procession.”

Xiao Mo said to Wei Xun, his tone carrying a hint of anticipation.

“Where does Your Majesty wish to go?” Wei Xun also noticed that His Majesty seemed to be in a decent mood.

“The National Preceptor’s Manor.”

Xiao Mo smiled slightly.

These past days, he had constantly been beaten by that Fairy Jiang, and beaten while at the same realm no less.

Now, his physique had strengthened considerably. He should finally be able to regain some face, right?

“Yes, Your Majesty. This old servant will go prepare the dragon palanquin at once.”

Although Wei Xun didn’t know why His Majesty always wanted to go to the National Preceptor’s Manor, even returning from the National Preceptor’s Manor with bruises from time to time, His Majesty still always wanted to go.

But perhaps His Majesty just enjoyed this sort of thing.

However, just as Wei Xun had walked a few steps, he immediately turned back, “Oh, Your Majesty, look at this old servant’s memory. Lingxin Palace on the Empress Dowager’s side sent over a document. Please review it, Your Majesty.”

Xiao Mo took the document and opened it to look. Inside was information about the Empress Dowager’s selection of palace maids and the list of those who had been chosen. Today was the final conclusion of the matter.

“There are no problems. Tell someone to inform Mother that she needn’t report such matters to me in the future,” Xiao Mo said.

Regarding the matter of palace maids, Xiao Mo simply didn’t care.

With two future imperial consorts, he couldn’t even handle those. However, Xiao Mo glanced at the several palace maids standing guard at the imperial study door.

Xiao Mo knew they were all Yan Shan’ao’s informants.

With this batch of new palace maids arriving, could he perhaps secretly cultivate a few trusted subordinates of his own?
