Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

Finding Jian Chen didn't take much effort; players are everywhere, after all. But he was surprisingly found at the Sword Ceremony held at Baijian Villa. This was the same location where Bu Jingyun obtained the peerless sword in the original storyline. Legend has it that the owner of Baijian Villa, Aotian, has issued a call for heroes, inviting young sword masters from across the martial arts world to participate in the Sword Ceremony. During this ceremony, a peerless sword, said to have been forged for a century, will be unveiled. This sword, already possessed by spirits, will seek its master upon its completion.

You have no interest in the peerless sword itself. For you, the three-foot-long blade in your hand is enough. But you were surprised that Aotian didn't invite you. Aren't you afraid of organizing an illegal gathering?!

As a currently quite competent henchman of the imperial court, your forte is arriving at the right place at the right time, in the wrong way, and doing the wrong thing. Just as the Sword Ceremony was about to begin, a swarm of players burst into the scene, trailing behind you: "Six Gates Investigation!" The average player these days is already two or three times the strength of Zhu Baokun, and their shouts are full of verve.

Someone immediately took flight at the sword ceremony. It was the flower-stealing thief Tian Boguang you'd been pursuing. Seeing him, you were furious. Even this sword-wielding scoundrel was invited, so why wasn't you? Facing Tian Boguang, you paused and made a throwing motion with your sword. With a clang, the sword pinned Tian Boguang to the ground. Most of the people present hadn't even seen the move, and now stared at each other in shock.

Then you looked around the scene. There were at least three or four of your defeated men, including Jian Tan, Zhuo Bufan, and Yuan Chengzhi. You weren't particularly interested in them. Instead, you glanced at the others. Besides your target, Jian Chen, there were Bu Jingyun and Duan Lang. Besides Bu Jingyun, the other two happened to be your targets. So, in full view of everyone, you drew Tian Boguang's sword, pointed it at Jian Chen and Duan Lang, and said with a smile, "You two, attack together."

You've long considered Jian Chen your arch-enemy, a man with the strength of nearly a hundred Zhu Baokuns. Duan Lang, though wielding the Fire Scale Sword, poses even less of a threat to you than Jian Chen, only about fifty at best. To be frank, facing both of them, you're confident you'll win. Jian Chen's strength is slightly greater than you might imagine. It's said that his inexplicable swordsmanship has been passed down from Wuming. When he thrusts his sword, it's as if the entire Worship Sword Villa's brilliance is concentrated on it, a mighty and unstoppable force.

Facing this sword technique, a genuine smile played on your lips, for you had long seen through his approach. Mo Ming's sword technique was majestic and upright. While Duan Lang's Huo Lin sword technique was sharp, his inner demons were raging, and when wielded by the Huo Lin sword, it was imbued with an evil aura, creating a counterproductive effect when combined with Mo Ming's. You exploited the flaws in their swordsmanship and swung a freehand strike. A dazzling sword light shone, quickly filling everyone's view. A moment later, the sword light dissipated, and Jian Chen and Duan Lang were sent flying backwards, slamming to the ground. The wounds on their left shoulders pierced through, gushing blood.

Silence fell upon the scene. You waved the blood-beaded blade from your sword, sheathing it. Just then, you sensed a subtle shift in the universe, your swordsmanship reaching a new level. As if drawn by your powerful sword intent, the peerless sword, forged for centuries within the lava pool, soared skyward, hurtling towards you. You extended your index finger and thumb, curling them slightly, and the peerless sword, coveted by all the wielders of the martial arts world, fell into your grasp. But you smiled, plunged the sword into the earth, discarding it like a worn-out shoe. As always, for you, a three-foot blade was enough. You achieved the fundamentals of swordsmanship (Grandmaster level).

But then, somewhat surprisingly, someone present had the nerve to challenge you to a duel: Xie Xiaofeng, the third young master of Excalibur Villa. You accepted without hesitation, agreeing to meet him a month later, on July 7th. You obtained the dungeon summoning stone: Worshiping Sword Villa.

On July 23, 7rd year, the new ranking of martial arts newcomers was released. Thanks to your victory over the combined forces of Jian Chen and Duan Lang, you finally reached the top spot. Qiao Feng, having defeated the Tibetan Imperial Master Jiumozhi, overtook Jian Chen and took second place. People finally noticed your actions, seemingly challenging the most renowned swordsmen in the martial arts world. They began to speculate about who your next opponent would be.

On July 23, 7, you once again visited the Quanzhen Sect. Your humble master, Qiu Chuji, was quite famous for his use of the Big Dipper Sword. After a polite and friendly exchange of seven moves, Qiu Chuji staggered back, covering his face. This was the result of your deliberate desire to see the full power of the Big Dipper Sword.

On July 23, 7, you visited the neighboring Huashan Mountain and challenged the Huashan Sect's master swordsman, the "Divine Sword Immortal Ape" Mu Renqing. This time, you spent nearly forty moves to win.

On July 23, 7, you entered Shu and defeated the Qingcheng Sect's leader, Chang Qingzi. You subsequently commented that the Qingcheng Sect's swordsmanship was rather mediocre. In your opinion, their strength was inflated, not as impressive as boasted, and was only roughly equivalent to 11 Zhu Baokuns. Chang Qingzi fell ill shortly thereafter and died of depression.

On July 23, 7, you killed thirteen swordsmen who were blocking the way on the Shu Road, a road that even the Yellow Crane could not cross.

On July 23th, 7rd year, you traveled to Fuzhou to challenge Lin Yuantu of the Fuwei Escort Agency, who had defeated many famous figures in the martial arts world with his 18-move "Exorcism Sword Technique." However, you won before you even reached moves, or even .

On July 23, 7, you met Xue Yiren on Daozuo. He was a master of the Central Plains martial arts world, his swordsmanship was so superb that it was said that Chu Xiangshuai couldn't even withstand a single blow from him. This was also a difficult battle for you, and it wasn't until after more than a hundred moves that you managed to gain a subtle advantage. Frankly, based on swordsmanship alone, he should have been superior to you, but unfortunately, fighting isn't just about swordsmanship.

On July 23, 7, you arrived at Cuiyun Peak, Green Water Lake, to challenge Xie Xiaofeng of the Divine Sword Villa. This man's swordsmanship was unparalleled, its technique so natural and untraceable. On a thousand-foot cliff, towering high into the clouds, you faced Xie Xiaofeng's unique "stealing the sky, changing the day, and seizing the sword" style. At the 26th move, you defeated him with a sudden move, "Two Sleeves of Green Snakes," and gave him some pointers.

In less than a month, you defeated twenty sword masters, including the renowned Xue Yiren and Xie Xiaofeng, shocking the martial arts world. You are considered a swordsmanship genius that only appears once in five hundred years.

On August 23, 8, after returning to Luoyang, the first thing you did was to challenge Ye Gucheng, the Lord of Baiyun City, who had been lurking in Luoyang for a long time.
