57 – Group Mission

“Ding, an anomaly has been detected in the world where Zhang Jun resides. Group Mission is now issued: Eliminate the anomaly. This group mission is mandatory, with 10 participants required. Due to the number of group members being less than ten, everyone will be forced to participate.”

“Ding, the teleportation will occur in ten minutes. Please prepare accordingly.”

At this moment, a pop-up window suddenly appeared in front of Wang Ping, causing his expression to change drastically.

The chat group has been silent for more than a month, and now a group mission suddenly appears? And it’s a mandatory mission, which is definitely going to be dangerous…

“No, I must increase my strength!”

With a sense of crisis surging in his heart, Wang Ping clenched his fists and didn’t even have time to check the chat group. Without hesitation, he called up the Life Simulator page.

“System, I want to perform a paid simulation!” Wang Ping said in his mind.

“Ding, this life simulation requires 256 low-grade spirit stones. Do you wish to proceed?”

The voice of the System sounded.

“Proceed,” Wang Ping responded.

“Ding, the Life Simulator is activating, refreshing talents.”

“Talent refresh successful. Congratulations to the host for acquiring White Talent · Great Escape Artist; Green Talent · Immunity to All Poisons.”

White Talent · Great Escape Artist: The host will receive a speed boost during escapes.

Green Talent · Immunity to All Poisons: Possessing this talent grants the host strong resistance to poisons.

“System, I choose the second talent,”

Looking at the two talents, Wang Ping’s eyes lit up instantly when he saw the Green Talent · Immunity to All Poisons.

After all, this group mission’s world is Zhang Jun’s zombie world. If he gets bitten by a zombie, he’ll turn into one himself.

This talent was indeed timely.

“Ding, talent selection successful. Life simulation begins.”

【April 20th, 480 of the Great Xia Calendar. You diligently practice your cultivation.】

【486 of the Great Xia Calendar, turmoil erupts in Great Xia. The Third Prince is killed by the Ninth Princess in the capital, shocking the world. Everyone is in awe of the Ninth Princess Xia Yuan’s strength and firmness.】

【The actions of Ninth Princess Xia Yuan intimidate the other princes and princesses. They jointly submit a report requesting the old emperor to punish her, deeming her too ruthless for killing her brother without cause.】
【Facing the collective petition by the princes and princesses, the Ninth Princess was immensely forceful, directly throwing out evidence that the Third Prince had sent people to assassinate her multiple times, leaving the court in silence. Ultimately, the old emperor stood firmly by the Ninth Princess’s side, making the ministers on the court understand who the heir was. Their thoughts shifted, they no longer wavered, and began to choose sides.】

【In the 487th year of the Great Xia Calendar, you and Bai Tianhong appeared in Black Wind Forest, where Bai Tianhong forcefully killed the seventh-level demon beast, the Silver Moon Wolf, preventing the outbreak of a beast tide. You also took the opportunity to check on the Village Chief and others.】

【At the end of 492nd year of the Great Xia Calendar, the old emperor abdicated, and the Ninth Princess Xia Yuan ascended the throne, becoming a generation’s female emperor, shaking the Great Xia.】

【In early 493rd year of the Great Xia Calendar, there was chaos in Xia Kingdom. Bandits ran rampant, and uprisings began in various places, causing the people to suffer. Empress Xia Yuan was enraged and swiftly dispatched the army to suppress them.】

【At the end of 494th year of the Great Xia Calendar, Empress Xia Yuan governed the country well. New and old officials were gradually replaced, new blood emerged, and the Great Xia showed signs of revival. The people’s lives gradually improved.】

【Although you were in Sword Spirit Sect, you kept a close watch on the situation in Great Xia. At the same time, you had long planned to continuously search for certain precious medicinal herbs.】

【At the end of 495th year of the Great Xia Calendar, your cultivation reached the peak of the second level of the Spirit Origin Realm, and by using Yang Rejuvenation Grass combined with some three or four-grade precious medicinal herbs, you successfully refined a four-grade pill·Life Continuation Pill, which could extend the life of Great Xia’s invincible patriarch by twenty years. You traveled to the Royal City, met with Empress Xia Yuan, and handed over the pill, gaining numerous benefits. She was very grateful to you and allowed you to enter the spiritual pool in the royal secret storage.】

【In the spiritual pool, you cleansed your body, absorbed spiritual energy, and gained great benefits, breaking through continuously, reaching the fourth level of the Spirit Origin Realm.】

【Meanwhile, in Great Xia, because of your pill, the invincible patriarch survived and did not pass away, still intimidating all directions, preventing any rash actions from various forces.】

【Not long after, the top elders of the Sword Spirit Sect killed two demon beasts and took the Fire Spirit Flower.】

【In 496th year of the Great Xia Calendar, the Empress continued her reforms, gradually eroding the power of the feudal lords, stirring up a storm of blood in Great Xia. Finally, the feudal lords could not bear it anymore and started a rebellion. A fierce battle between the court’s army and the feudal lords ensued, causing heavy casualties on both sides. However, due to Xia Yuan’s effective governance, the court’s army was not as corrupt as it used to be and had strong combat power, temporarily not showing any signs of decline.】

【Before long, the invincible patriarch of Xia Kingdom emerged, suppressing all directions. The great feudal lords were no match and were strongly suppressed. The feudal lords were beheaded by the invincible patriarch of Xia Kingdom, and all forces dared not act rashly, they could only submit to the Empress and cooperate with her reforms, just to save their lives.】

【After the grand and vigorous reform, Great Xia solved many problems and began to thrive. This made both the Zhao Kingdom and Chu Kingdom quite apprehensive.】

【Next, you once again headed to the Royal City, requesting Empress Xia Yuan to find Mo Fan and nip him in the bud.】

【In response, Empress Xia Yuan did not inquire why you were doing this, but began to announce to the world to search for Mo Fan. However, something frustrating happened. Even with such a grand effort, gathering all the people named Mo Fan in the world, no abnormalities were found.】

【This was unavoidable. You only knew the name, but not Mo Fan’s appearance or age, like searching for a needle in a haystack, impossible to find any trace.】

【On June 1st, 500th year of the Great Xia Calendar, your cultivation progressed again, reaching the peak of the fourth level of the Spirit Origin Realm. This year, the Red Clan people mysteriously disappeared again, leaving you to sigh.】

“Disappeared again…”

Wang Ping looked at the screen and could only sigh at this result.

【In the 510th year of the Great Xia Calendar, you successfully broke through to the fifth level of the Spirit Origin Realm, while Bai Tianhong’s cultivation reached the great perfection of the Spirit Origin Realm, preparing to go into seclusion to break through the Great Transcendence. Although your cultivation speed was much slower compared to crazily taking medicinal herbs, you could also feel that your foundation was gradually solidifying and you could go further in the future.】

【However, you knew that great chaos was about to occur in Great Xia. You asked Bai Tianhong to postpone his seclusion and accompany you to wander the world. Bai Tianhong chose to agree, believing that merely cultivating arduously was indeed unwise. The probability of breaking through to the Transcendent Realm was low, and he needed to find opportunities.】

【In the same year, chaos emerged in the martial world. Many powerful individuals vanished, even entire villages and towns mysteriously disappeared. This aroused the Empress’s attention and she began investigating.】

【However, even the powerful individuals sent by the court for investigation mysteriously disappeared. The Empress was furious and dispatched Spirit Origin Realm experts to investigate further. However, they also quickly lost contact, with no news returning!】
