Cultivators protected the herb garden from fiendish infiltrators in the Jade Pure Sect. Elder Iron tested young servants' potentials upon return, selecting Zhang Ge as disciple while Han Jue avoided detection. Over years of persistent rolling, Han Jue finally obtained the supreme Spiritual Physique of the Six Paths and activated his cultivation system's life simulation.

Specialization in cultivation?

Han Jue didn't deliberate excessively.

He realized he'd acquired the Six Paths of Reincarnation Technique, undoubtedly tied to the Spiritual Physique of the Six Paths. The six supreme cultivation aptitudes required simultaneous nurturing. He sought comprehensive growth.

Meanwhile, his exceptional swordsmanship talent made sword cultivation the perfect choice!

With his decision made, Han Jue swiftly selected [Swordsman].

Instantly, an unusual warmth coursed through his body.

A daze overcame him.

It resembled a dream—endlessly long—yet its contents slipped from memory.

Eyes reopening, Han Jue found himself soaked in perspiration.

The interface before him now showed his attributes:

[Name: Han Jue]

[Lifespan: 11 / 65]

[Race: Mortal]

[Cultivation: None]

[Technique: Six Paths of Reincarnation Technique (Can be inherited)]

[Magic: None]

[Mystical Power: None]

[Equipment: None]

[Cultivation Potential: Spiritual Physique of the Six Paths. It contains top-notch wind, fire, water, earth, wood, and thunder cultivation potentials. Increases providence to a certain extent.]

[Connate Providence is as follows]

[Unparalleled: Immortal beauty, top-notch charm]

[Destined Sword Fanatic: Top-notch Sword Dao aptitude, top-notch Sword Dao learning ability]

[Unparalleled Movement Technique: Top-notch movement technique aptitude]

[Descendant of the Immortal Emperor: After the game begins, you will receive an unparalleled cultivation technique and 1,000 superior-grade spirit stones.]

[Check interpersonal relationships]

...

Han Jue refrained from inheriting the Six Paths of Reincarnation Technique right away. He first tapped [interpersonal relationships] below.

The display shifted, revealing a portrait of someone.

It matched Elder Iron perfectly.

[Elder Iron: Seventh level of the Qi Refinement Realm. He hates you. If you have cultivation potential he would definitely scheme against you. Hatred level: 1 star.]

“F*ck, I worked so hard for you and you still hate me?”

Han Jue muttered inwardly in frustration.

Soon, composure returned.

How incredibly handy!

Now he could glimpse others' views of him.

Yet why no additional figures?

Mortals excluded, perhaps?

Does Zhang Ge hold no opinion of me?

Unable to unravel it, Han Jue set it aside. He shoved the door open, noting midday neared. Lingering laziness risked exposure.

Hurriedly, he dashed to the herb garden.

“Han Jue, did you sleep in?”

A middle-aged servant teased with a chuckle. Han Jue sheepishly rubbed his head, drawing laughs from the rest.

No one dwelled on it or truly rebuked him. Han Jue seldom shirked duties. Occasional oversleeping proved forgivable.

The female cultivator guarding the herb garden entrance abruptly gazed at Han Jue, eyes opening.

A slight frown creased her brow.

“This youth... possesses such striking handsomeness!”

Text materialized before Han Jue.

[Xing Hongxuan has developed a favorable impression of you. Current favorability: 1 star.]

What in the world?

Who's Xing Hongxuan?

Bewildered, Han Jue instinctively glanced back.

That female cultivator?

Indeed, her stare fixed on him.

Eyes locking, Xing Hongxuan offered a smile.

Han Jue whipped his head away fast.

Damn.

My supreme charm activated already.

Mortal like me, cultivator like her—our union lacks approval.

Does she aim to treat me as a Human Furnace?

Absolutely not!

Evasion strategy essential!

...

Nightfall arrived.

Once the other five servants slumbered deeply, Han Jue lay abed and initiated inheritance of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Technique.

Vast memories inundated his consciousness.

Much time later...

Eyes fluttering open.

“So this constitutes a cultivation technique. Utterly intricate...”

Han Jue reflected silently. Mastering merely the first layer propelled him to ninth level of Qi Refinement Realm.

Emphasizing equilibrium, the Six Paths of Reincarnation Technique cultivated all six elemental potentials. Though more intricate than single-element paths, Han Jue's superior aptitude compensated fully.

Foundation formation demanded all six Spirit Qi types reach sufficient levels!

Thrilled, Han Jue sat up discreetly. The system erected a barrier around his bed, shielding from the three external cultivators' senses.

Fellow servants slept soundly after exhausting labors.

Han Jue commenced breathing exercises per the first layer.

Expiration formed the core breathing method.

Amid expiration, he keenly detected Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi.

Within mere seconds, wind, earth, wood, water Spirit Qi registered.

Fire and thunder eluded him still.

Han Jue drew in those four Spirit Qi varieties.

Abruptly, text surfaced before him.

Eyes shut, yet visible—truly wondrous.

[This is your first time cultivating. These are the following options for your cultivation development.]

[Firstly, you can be a high-profile unparalleled prodigy. You can obtain one Qi Refining Realm equipment.]

[Alternatively, you can keep a low profile and cultivate. You can activate the ability to hide your cultivation and cultivation potential.]

Without pause, Han Jue picked the latter.

A divine ability, evidently.

Secure cultivation henceforth, undetected!

[You can activate the hidden function anytime.]

A grin lit Han Jue's face.

Elder Iron absent still, prime chance to advance!

...

Time flew swiftly.

Two years vanished in moments.

At eighteen, Han Jue hit seventh level of Qi Refinement Realm. Wind, earth, wood, water potentials matched there.

Via interpersonal relationships, he knew Xing Hongxuan lingered at seventh level Qi Refinement too.

Elder Iron remained away these two years.

Notably, Xing Hongxuan's favor rose to two stars.

No words exchanged ever.

Still, Han Jue sensed her persistent gazes, discomfort mounting.

Excessive beauty brought woes.

Alas.

Cultivation alone my desire.

Han Jue lamented internally.

Xing Hongxuan charmed, yet insufficient to abandon all for her. No love intended.

Loving created vulnerabilities.

Eternal life his goal, not premature death.

Romance post-immortality.

Invincibility assured endless companions, foes powerless!

Laboring, Han Jue resolved to view Xing Hongxuan as a dangerous distraction.

Suddenly...

Xing Hongxuan stood abruptly.

Leisurely approaching, she drew servants' stares.

Reaching Han Jue, she smiled. “Come with me.”

Han Jue froze in shock.

Envious glances from other servants.

Captivating a fairy-like beauty spelled fortune.

They'd resigned to bachelorhood lifelong.

Han Jue dared not decline, nodding compliance.

Exiting the herb garden together.

The male cultivator queried, eyes opening, “Hongxuan, what are you doing?”

Scrutinizing Han Jue, he scowled.

So remarkably handsome!

Lifelong garden dwellers, servants lacked refinement, overlooking Han Jue's transformation via habit.

As woman, Xing Hongxuan first detected his allure.

Male cultivator examined solely due to her interest.

Han Jue's looks sparked innate displeasure.

Giggling behind hand, Xing Hongxuan replied, “It's fine. Continue cultivating. I wish private chat with this youth.”

Han Jue offered the male cultivator an awkward, nervous smile.

Frowning deeply, the man held his tongue.

Han Jue trailed Xing Hongxuan into woods.

Inner turmoil raged.

Charm overwhelming!

Next move?

Fight back?

Or... submit?
