Collapse Simulator: Raging at the Imaginary Tree

"By the way, due to his weak body, the title of being tainted with imperial aura does not apply to him." The fortune teller seemed to remember something and reminded.

"Please give me a name, sir."

But Emperor Ming did not wait for his reply.

The fortune teller disappeared, as if he had never appeared.

Emperor Ming suddenly opened his eyes, and the people around him appeared in front of him again.

There was also a green leaf and a nameplate in his hand.

The words "Yun Ling" were clearly written on the nameplate.

……

A few years passed quickly, and Yun Ling, who was still in his infancy, had grown into a child.

There is a childish innocence in his eyes, but also a maturity that does not belong to his age.

Emperor Ming originally wanted to have him sent here, but he refused, simply because he was "sincere".

So he packed his bag and came alone to Taixu Mountain, where the legendary Red Kite Immortal lived.

Yun Ling's face was pale. He was already panting after just a few steps. Sweat kept coming out of his forehead, soaking his clothes.

He coughed heavily from time to time, which was very distressing. No one would be surprised even if he died in the next second.

The secret servants who followed him quietly and protected him all the way couldn't help but break into cold sweats.

I don't understand why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so insistent.

"General Youlan, thank you for escorting me here. That's enough. Please go back first." Yun Ling suddenly bowed slightly towards the back.

"..."

It was quiet and deserted, and no one responded to him.

"General Youlan." Yun Ling called out again with a hint of helplessness in his words.

"...As expected, nothing can be hidden from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." General Youlan walked out from behind the rock.

"This place is already a refuge for immortals, so there is no need to worry so much. Military affairs cannot be left unattended for a day, so how dare I continue to trouble General Youlan." Yun Ling smiled.

"Then I will go back and report first." General Youlan nodded.

"Please ask General Youlan to convey a message to thank my father on my behalf." Yun Ling said gratefully.

General Youlan nodded and left.

Yun Ling then looked up at the towering Taixu Mountain.

I calmed myself down and started climbing.

The mountain path was not difficult to walk on, but for Yun Ling, who had always been weak and sickly, this was probably the biggest challenge he had ever experienced.

He could only walk two steps and then rest for a while, enjoying the scenery along the way.

Feeling the gentle breeze, the tiredness seemed to disappear a lot.

I only climbed for half a day and didn't even reach one tenth of the distance...

It looks like it will be a tough battle.

At this time, a man wearing a Taoist robe, with waist-length hair and exuding a cool temperament, walked down the mountain.

She opened her lips slightly, with a cold expression that kept people at a distance.

"Why did you come to Taixu Mountain?"

"Could it be that you are the legendary Red Kite Immortal?!" Yun Ling blinked his black eyes and asked excitedly.

Chi Yuan nodded slightly.

Yun Ling wanted to kneel down and pay his respects to his master, but he was locked in place by an invisible aura and could not move at all.

Is this the power of immortals?

"I came here to study under a master." Yun Ling could only say.

"I don't accept disciples, you can go back." After Chi Yuan finished speaking, a breeze blew by, and when he came to his senses, Yun Ling had already returned to the foot of the mountain.

Yun Ling was not annoyed and continued to walk towards the mountain stubbornly.

It’s just that the body has already sent out extremely dangerous signals.

His chest felt stuffy and he saw stars, so he could only rest a little longer.

Until night, the sounds of birds, beasts and insects began to be heard, adding a touch of eerie and terrifying atmosphere to the lonely and deserted Taixu Mountain.

Suddenly, a faint green light emerged from his package.

"Is this... the green leaves that my father asked me to bring?" Yun Ling suddenly felt confused.

Before setting off, Emperor Ming warned him to preserve the green leaf well.

But he didn't know what use it would have.

At least now there was light for him.

The darkness was dispelled by the green light, giving him a little psychological comfort.

However, not long after, the Red Kite Immortal whom Yun Ling had met not long ago appeared in front of him again.

"Immortal Chiyuan, please accept me as your disciple!" Yun Ling said hurriedly.

"It's Su's breath, for sure..." Chi Yuan didn't nod or shake his head this time, but murmured.

"Who gave you this leaf?" Chi Yuan asked.

"My father gave it to me. Before I came here, he told me that this leaf was very important. The person who gave this leaf to my father also guided me here." Yun Ling explained.

"Father...are you Emperor Ming's child?" Chi Yuan was a little surprised.

I didn’t expect that Yun Ling was actually a prince, but it was just a little surprising.

Over the past thousands of years, she had met many emperors, most of whom came in search of immortality.

But her method of longevity does not come from magic, but from herself.

"Yes." Yun Ling nodded and handed over the leaf in his hand.

Chi Yuan took the leaf and thought for a moment.

Perhaps this is the "answer" Su found in the Hengsha plan.

Is this child in front of me the key to the solution?

"...Follow me."

Chi Yuan waved his sleeves, and a golden sword appeared under Yun Ling's body, carrying him towards the top of the mountain.

……

Chapter 69: Terrifying Sword Talent

Fu Hua brought Yun Ling to a residence. She stood in front of a room, a hint of reminiscence in the corner of her eyes.

"You can sleep here tonight. We can talk about it tomorrow if there is anything."

"Uh...can you let me take a shower first?" Yun Ling felt sticky and uncomfortable.

"can."

Fu Hua brought Yun Ling to a natural hot spring in the back.

After simply washing his body, Yun Ling returned to the room.

Strangely enough, the room had two beds and some wooden carvings on the table in the center.

If I'm not mistaken, some of the wood carvings should be of the Red Kite Immortal.

But...isn't this figure a bit wrong?

Yun Ling quickly threw away the inappropriate thoughts, feeling a chill on the top of his head.

At night, heavy coughing sounds continued to be heard from the room.

Even though Yun Ling tried his best to suppress his cough, the Red Kite Immortal still heard it.

"Sorry for disturbing the immortal's rest." Yun Ling said with a hint of apology.

"It's okay." Fu Hua shook her head.

She gently placed her hand on Yun Ling's head, but found that Yun Ling was so weak and his physical condition was very poor.

"Is your disease congenital?" Fu Hua asked.

"Well, father has consulted many famous doctors, but no treatment has been found." Yun Ling nodded.

"But it's okay. I won't cough when I fall asleep. I'll try my best to control it."

Fu Hua didn't say much, but a red feather appeared in her hand and she gently placed it on Yun Ling's forehead.

Not long after, the sound of even breathing was heard, and Yun Ling had fallen asleep.

"Su... Can he really be the answer to that Hengsha plan?"

Fu Hua couldn't help but ask questions.

The next day, Yun Ling felt refreshed. It was the first time he slept so comfortably, and his body seemed to be much more relaxed than before.

The Red Kite Immortal outside was already practicing his boxing skills. Each of his moves seemed to have been tempered through thousands of trials and tribulations, and was impeccable in both beauty and strength.

Yun Ling spoke only after Fu Hua finished her set of punches.

"Greetings to the Red Kite Immortal."

"From today on, I will teach you 'Taixu Sword Qi'. 'Taixu Sword Qi' is divided into five elements: heart, form, intention, soul, and spirit..."

Without any preparation, Fu Hua began her teaching.

"In Taixu Sword Qi, Heart Essence is the first to enter, and it is also the most difficult to enter besides Sword God. There are four levels: Still Water, Dustless, Mirror, and Taixu. The entry-level Heart Method is the 'Sword Heart Technique'!"

"'Sword Heart Art' consists of 462 sounds. It is meaningless in itself. Its profound meaning lies in the fact that reciting, silently chanting, and listening to it can refine the mind. A melting mind is like still water; a frozen mind is like dustlessness; a transparent mind is like a clear mirror; and a formless mind is like the almighty void."

"All you have to do is remember it and refine your swordsmanship."

Fu Hua briefly introduced the "Taixu Sword Qi".

"Yes, Master." Yun Ling nodded.

"...Let's start." Fu Hua was silent for a moment and did not refute the title.

She began to chant some strange and incomprehensible syllables. Yun Ling closed his eyes and listened quietly, feeling the changes in his body.

When Fu Hua finished reciting the Sword Heart Technique for the first time and looked at Yun Ling, she found that he had not opened his eyes.

Yun Ling seemed to be in a wonderful epiphany at this moment. He seemed to see a lake without any ripples, and his body also entered a strange calm.

"This is... the realm of 'Shisui'?!"

Even Fu Hua lost her composure now, and her eyes widened instantly.

She confirmed it several times, and after confirming that Yun Ling had now entered the state of "still water", her mouth opened slightly in disbelief.

Just by listening to the "Sword Heart Art" once, he has already tempered his sword heart and entered the realm of "still water"?

This kid's talent in swordsmanship... is so terrifying!

"Master, I seem to see a lake." Yun Ling opened his eyes and expressed his thoughts.

"...Well, you have already become Kenshin, and Kenshin has reached the realm of 'Shisui'." Fu Hua suppressed the shock in her heart and explained.

"Eh? So fast? It's worthy of being an immortal's technique." Yun Ling couldn't help but sigh.

Fu Hua opened her mouth, wanting to say something.

This has nothing to do with the technique at all, it's all Yun Ling's own talent...

However, considering that it might make Yun Ling complacent, which would be detrimental to his future practice, Fu Hua still maintained a calm demeanor.

It's as if everything in front of me is normal.

"I'll read it to you a few more times so you can remember it as soon as possible." Fu Hua said.

"Master, I have memorized it." Yun Ling said confidently.
