130 – Nine Nether Emperor! Terrifying Opportunity!

“Hehe, Miss Bing, there’s no need to be nervous; I mean no harm to you.”

Wang Ping smiled slightly as he spoke.

“Also, my name is Wang Ping, and I am just twenty-six years old. Our ages are not far apart; you can call me ‘fellow Daoist’ instead of addressing me as a senior.”

Bing Ningyue was much older than Ye Chen, but she was only eighteen now.

To be honest, an eighteen-year-old at the Half-Step Profound Elixir Realm in a place like Sacred Heart Island is indeed monstrous.

But considering Bing Ningyue’s future achievements, this is not surprising.

This is probably because Bing Ningyue’s special constitution hasn’t fully awakened yet. Once she goes to the true Ice Palace, she will awaken her true talent and soar to new heights.

Of course, there might be a calamity destined for her.

“Twenty-six years old.”

Bing Ningyue was stunned.

She never expected that Wang Ping was just twenty-six years old.

To have such cultivation at twenty-six, and the grade of his Profound Elixir was clearly extraordinary, was truly terrifying.

Although she was currently at the Half-Step Profound Elixir Realm, it would be impossible for her to break through in a short time to condense a high-grade Profound Elixir.

She might reach twenty-six years old and still not break through to the Profound Elixir Realm.

“In that case, I shall boldly address you as Fellow Wang Daoist then.”

Bing Ningyue hesitated for a moment and then spoke.

Her demeanor and tone exuded a cold aura, giving the impression that she was hard to get along with.

However, Wang Ping, having seen the flirtatious ‘Wang Ping the Flower Picker’ successfully charming Bing Ningyue, knew that she wasn’t difficult to get along with. In fact, she was very tenderhearted, at least after being won over.

“This is Cai Yonglong, my friend.”

Wang Ping smiled and nodded, introducing Cai Yonglong.

Bing Ningyue glanced at Cai Yonglong and merely nodded, not showing the same attitude she did towards Wang Ping.

She had no positive feelings towards Cai Yonglong. Previously in Sacred Heart City, although Cai Yonglong’s gaze wasn’t malicious, it still left a bad impression on her.

Cai Yonglong noticed Bing Ningyue’s cold attitude towards him and felt a bit embarrassed, recalling that his previous behavior was indeed inappropriate.

“Fellow Wang Daoist, I wonder if you could part with the Four-Leaf White Jade Flower. I am willing to exchange it for an item of equivalent value.”

Bing Ningyue hesitated for a moment but gathered the courage to speak.

A treasure that enhances comprehension is very precious, and she desperately needed it and didn’t want to miss this opportunity.

If she could obtain this treasure, enhancing her comprehension even slightly, she might be able to understand the Great Perfection state of Ice’s essence, and then use this to attempt to comprehend Divine Abilities.

In half a year, she would be heading to the true Ice Palace to participate in the Ice Palace Grand Competition. If she performed excellently, she could stay there for further cultivation and obtain the true inheritance of the Ice Palace.

For this reason, she risked proposing a trade with Wang Ping.

Although she had her trump cards, if Wang Ping turned out to be the type of cultivator who killed and looted indiscriminately, she might have to pay a hefty price to escape.

After all, the difference in their cultivation levels was too vast. Wang Ping wasn’t an ordinary Profound Elixir Realm cultivator, so she couldn’t even fight… escaping would be an issue.

“Miss Bing also knows the value of such a treasure to us cultivators. Please allow me some time to consider it, how about that?”

Wang Ping didn’t directly refuse Bing Ningyue but responded with a twinkle in his eye, smiling.

“Naturally.” Seeing that Wang Ping didn’t outright refuse nor had any intention of attacking her, Bing Ningyue’s eyes brightened, and she sighed in relief, her impression of Wang Ping improving.

“In that case, let’s meet in Sacred Heart City three days from now. By then, I will give Miss Bing a definite answer.”

Wang Ping smiled as he spoke.

Although he was unlikely to trade this treasure with Bing Ningyue, he hadn’t entirely ruled out the possibility.

He considered one thing.

If he could, in these three days, refresh a comprehension-enhancing Blue Talent or even a Red Talent, he wouldn’t need to consume this treasure.

Because even such a treasure, at the ninth grade, would have little effect on him.
In fact, this thing is currently only useful to Bing Ningyue.

When Bing Ningyue goes to the true Ice Palace and awakens her real talent, this thing will be of no use to her.

So, Wang Ping gave both parties some time.

Everything depends on the circumstances.

Of course, Wang Ping also considered a possibility.

That is the failure of optimization… That would be quite embarrassing.

Although success was seen in the simulated future, it might not necessarily happen in reality—a complete unknown.

Using the Life Simulator was just to boost his courage and give himself some psychological comfort.

“Alright then. Ningyue will visit you in three days, Wang Daoist. This is my sound transmission talisman. I hope Wang Daoist will accept it.”

Bing Ningyue nodded slightly, took out a special sound transmission talisman from her Storage Ring, handed it to Wang Ping, and quickly left.

Wang Ping accepted the talisman without saying much.

“Brother Wang, you’ve got her contact information. Are you really planning to invest?”

Cai Yonglong looked at Wang Ping with envy and muttered.

“Why invest? It depends on the situation. Next, let’s continue scavenging for treasures on Sacred Heart Island. There are still soul-nurturing treasures inside, which can be refined into soul-nurturing elixirs. When you and the others reach the Spirit Nurturing Realm, these will greatly aid your cultivation.”

Wang Ping said indifferently.

“I see!”

Cai Yonglong’s eyes lit up instantly, forgetting all other questions.

Soul-nurturing treasures, good stuff!

Then, Wang Ping had no intention of continuing to look at the simulated content and directly took Cai Yonglong to find the treasures.

Although Wang Ping considered himself very powerful, he wouldn’t be distracted by looking at simulated content in the Sacred Heart Mountains, where there are multiple Profound Elixir Realm monsters, as that could easily lead to trouble.

Wang Ping wasn’t worried about dying himself but was concerned that Cai Yonglong might accidentally meet an untimely end. Reviving him would be a great loss.

The previous simulation was merely to see the results of the optimization. How the simulated content developed was truly unexpected.

Half a day later, Wang Ping found the cave of a pair of Profound Elixir Realm beasts and discovered an Eighth Rank treasure herb, although it was clearly immature.

It should be said that it’s still far from maturity.

However, Wang Ping didn’t mind and planned to dig it up anyway.

For that, Wang Ping casually killed the two Profound Elixir Realm beasts, harvested the treasure herb, and left the roots.

After handling everything, Wang Ping took Cai Yonglong back to Sacred Heart City.

Once back in their courtyard in Sacred Heart City, Wang Ping took out the jade box containing the Four-Leaf White Jade Flower in a secret room and opted for optimization.

“Ding! Optimization successful. Congratulations to the host on obtaining two Four-Leaf White Jade Flowers.”

A mechanical voice sounded.

Then, the Four-Leaf White Jade Flower in Wang Ping’s jade box miraculously turned into two plants.

“Huh, it can be optimized like this?”

Wang Ping looked at the two Four-Leaf White Jade Flowers, his face full of strangeness.

In the Life Simulator, the optimization resulted in a Ninth Rank.

Now it’s turned into two plants.

It seems, just as he guessed, that even if optimization succeeds in a simulation, the results in reality may differ.

The optimization might fail, or the direction of optimization might be different.

Therefore, one cannot easily believe the results from the Life Simulator.

“However, with two treasure herbs, a trade with Bing Ningyue is possible. It counts as an investment.”

Wang Ping thought secretly, looking at the two treasure herbs.
Wang Ping summoned the Life Simulator’s simulation screen again, intending to watch the subsequent simulation content.

【Next, you switched to cultivating the Bloodthirsty Demon Art, consumed the Nirvana Fruit, and elevated your Grade One Profound Elixir to a Flawless Profound Elixir. Simultaneously, you transformed your spiritual body into a Five Elements Demon Body.】

【After doing these, you arrived at the Demon Cavern, met Blood Demon Yuan Feng, and asked him which demon sect he belonged to, expressing your wish to join.】

【Blood Demon Yuan Feng was quite surprised by your inquiry. He didn’t expect that a demon cultivator at the Profound Elixir Realm could emerge in the Profound Turtle Continent, especially one whose elixir was not simple. Interested, he offered to teach you demonic inheritance and take you into the demon sect if you released him.】

【You agreed to Blood Demon Yuan Feng’s proposal, slaughtering people on the Profound Turtle Continent to break the seal with the abundant blood energy, thus releasing Blood Demon Yuan Feng. Next, Blood Demon Yuan Feng shared some secrets: The demon sect he joined is called the Nine Nether Demon Sect, the strongest demon sect in the Purple Spirit Realm. The Nine Nether Demon Emperor, three thousand years ago, already possessed the Emperor Realm cultivation, and his combat strength ranked among the top twenty in the Purple Spirit Realm.】

【You were astonished, not expecting Blood Demon Yuan Feng to come from the Nine Nether Demon Sect. Given that his cultivation art, Bloodthirsty Demon Art, shared traits with blood demons, you initially thought he was related to the Blood Demon Tribe, only to find out he belonged to the Nine Nether Demon Sect founded by the ‘Transmigrator Senior.’】

【For a moment, you debated whether to join the Nine Nether Demon Sect. After all, that ‘Transmigrator Senior’ was surely a ruthless figure, and revealing your identity could bring disastrous consequences.】

【Nonetheless, since you were destined to take the demonic path, you chose to walk the best possible demonic path. Thus, you decided to join the demon sect.】

【Under Blood Demon Yuan Feng’s lead, you left the Profound Turtle Continent and arrived at the Seven Star Archipelago. However, Blood Demon Yuan Feng did not intend to take you to the Nine Nether Demon Sect immediately, aiming to first restore his strength.】

【You had no objections and helped Blood Demon Yuan Feng slaughter some strong individuals quietly, allowing him to regain some strength.】

【At the same time, remembering Bing Ningyue’s complexity, you headed to Sacred Heart Island, subdued her, and used the demonic methods taught by Blood Demon Yuan Feng to enslave her, much like Cai Yonglong.】

【Blood Demon Yuan Feng did not think much about you enslaving Bing Ningyue, only assuming you had a fondness for women.】

【Next, Blood Demon Yuan Feng used certain means to contact members of the Nine Nether Demon Sect, meeting a Life and Death Realm cultivator. The latter was surprised by Blood Demon Yuan Feng’s plight, mockingly remarking on his tenacity for surviving such dire circumstances.】

【Blood Demon Yuan Feng did not argue with this Life and Death Realm expert but introduced you, wanting him to lead you into the Nine Nether Demon Sect. Blood Demon Yuan Feng enthusiastically claimed that you had condensed a Flawless Profound Elixir and might one day reach the King Realm, ensuring that the Demon Emperor would reward them.】

【The Life and Death Realm expert was amazed, not expecting Blood Demon Yuan Feng to discover such a promising talent. Overjoyed, he exhibited a cruel smile and directly slapped Blood Demon Yuan Feng to death.】

【Then, this expert expressed that Blood Demon Yuan Feng no longer held any status or connections in the Nine Nether Demon Sect; following him would lead to missed opportunities. He hoped you would follow him to the Nine Nether Demon Sect, saying he would recommend you.】

【You had no objections. You were just using Blood Demon Yuan Feng, as you would anyone. In your view, everyone could be utilized, including this demon cultivator.】

【Following the demon cultivator’s lead, you went to one of the Nine Nether Demon Sect’s subordinate sects, the Bloodthirsty Demon Sect. Originally, the Nine Nether Demon Sect was founded solely by the Nine Nether Demon Emperor. But now, it consists of nine major demon sects united under the Nine Nether Demon Sect’s banner, which stands as the most prestigious, reserved for the most exceptional demonic talents.】

【In terms of power, the Nine Nether Demon Sect likely surpasses a single holy land.】

【Those within the Nine Nether Demon Sect are either Nirvana Realm experts or prodigious individuals destined for the Nirvana Realm, possibly even the King Realm.】

【Although you had the qualifications to join the Nine Nether Demon Sect by having condensed a Flawless Profound Elixir, you still needed the endorsement of a sect leader from the Bloodthirsty Demon Sect, as only people at their level or higher knew the Nine Nether Demon Sect’s location.】

【Since the Nine Nether Demon Sect is a target of extermination by every holy land, its created miniature world constantly drifts within the space turbulence of the Purple Spirit Realm, undiscoverable without the intervention of a powerful figure.】

【All major demon sect headquarters are hidden spaces created by major figures at the King Realm; they are nearly impossible to find.】

【You were surprised by this Life and Death Realm expert’s explanation. Indeed, the Nine Nether Demon Sect’s methods were terrifying, capable of creating a miniature world drifting within space turbulence.】

【You then inquired about when you could go to the Nine Nether Demon Sect. This expert informed you that in three years, the sect would hold a prodigy selection that occurs once every fifty years. Only the fifty most powerful or highly talented disciples under a hundred years old from the eight major demon sects could enter the Nine Nether Demon Sect.】

【The Life and Death Realm expert hoped you would first master the Bloodthirsty Demon Sect’s strong legacies within these three years to enhance your combat power, aiming to stand out in the prodigy selection three years later to join the Nine Nether Demon Sect. Otherwise, even if you managed to join the sect with a Flawless Profound Elixir, you could still likely die within its ranks.】

【In demon sects, unlike righteous cultivators, the grade of condensed elixirs is important, but not crucial. After hearing this advice, you followed the expert to meet the sect leader of the Bloodthirsty Demon Sect.】

【The Bloodthirsty Demon Sect Leader had terrifying cultivation, recognized you and Cai Yonglong as outsiders, and was quite curious about you. However, the leader didn’t do much against you, as outsiders, although rare and unwelcome in holy lands, were insignificant to demon sects.】

【After all, even their Nine Nether Demon Emperor is an outsider, a fact acknowledged by the true powers of the Purple Spirit Realm. The Bloodthirsty Demon Sect Leader considered you a moldable talent and planned to groom you as one of the sect’s true disciples.】

【Subsequently, the leader also noticed Bing Ningyue’s extraordinary nature, revealing her true lineage. Bing Ningyue possessed the Ice Empress’s bloodline and had undergone atavism. However, this bloodline power had yet to awaken and required extraordinary means to activate. Additionally, Bing Ningyue had an innate Ice Profound Body constitution.】

【The Bloodthirsty Demon Sect Leader was delighted, thinking they had struck gold with both you and Bing Ningyue, even believing her importance might surpass yours.】

【The Ice Empress was not a simple figure; he participated in the Blood Demon War ten thousand years ago, showcasing astonishing skills that impressed countless strong figures. As a mere Life and Death Realm cultivator, he observed from a distance, leaving a deep impression.】

【Someone with a revived Ice Empress bloodline and an Ice Profound Body had unimaginable potential, possibly surpassing the Ice Empress from ten thousand years ago if nurtured properly.】

【Although the demon sects lacked the Ice Palace’s legacies, it was of no concern, as personal cultivation by the Demon Emperor would yield even greater results. The Nine Nether Demon Sect could potentially produce another extremely powerful emperor.】

“So the Nine Nether Demon Sect is now comprised of nine sects… That ‘Transmigrator Senior’ truly has incredible methods…”

Wang Ping watched the simulation content, amazed.

Initially, he thought the Nine Nether Demon Sect was just a single, powerful demonic faction comparable to holy lands. Now, he realized his perspective was too limited.

The Nine Nether Demon Sect had united eight other powerful demonic sects, becoming a truly unified entity. In terms of strength, the Nine Nether Demon Sect surpassed single holy lands, rivaling many combined.

That ‘Transmigrator Senior’s’ abilities were indeed terrifying.

No wonder the Lord of the Heavenly Sword remarked that the Nine Nether Demon Sect had disrupted the entire Purple Spirit Realm, triggering endless bloodshed…

This evaluation is indeed not exaggerated at all…

“However, Bing Ningyue, Bing Ningyue, turned out to be the descendant of the Ice Empress, even a return to ancestral essence? This is truly surprising…”

Wang Ping had speculated that Bing Ningyue’s identity was astonishing, but he didn’t expect it to be this terrifying.

The Ice Empress, after all, was an unfathomable existence in the Emperor Realm.

However, the Ice Empress likely fell during the great battle against the Blood Demon millennia ago.

Because of this, the Ice Palace fell from the level of a Holy Land, becoming dependent on the Heavenly Sword Holy Land.

Otherwise, why would the successor of the Ice Palace need to participate in the Hundred Nations War, join the Heavenly Sword Holy Land, and become a true disciple there?

“It seems, this time I can truly obtain a powerful demonic inheritance… Even if I can’t acquire the core inheritance of the Nine Nether Demon Sect, or the demonic cultivation methods of that ‘senior transmigrator’, I can definitely get my hands on the strongest demonic texts of the Bloodthirsty Demon Sect…”

Immediately, Wang Ping calmed his thoughts, continuing to gaze at the screen, contemplating silently.

As Wang Ping stared, the text on the screen resurfaced.

【Although you don’t know why the Bloodthirsty Demon Lord gazes at Bing Ningyue with such unrestrained heat, you guess that Bing Ningyue is even more extraordinary than you imagined. Despite this, you have no particular thoughts on the matter.】

【Next, the great figure of the Life and Death Realm received an astonishing reward from the Bloodthirsty Demon Lord and left ecstatically. You and Bing Ningyue were chosen for special cultivation by the Bloodthirsty Demon Lord. As for Cai Yonglong, although his talent is decent, it’s not enough for the Bloodthirsty Demon Lord to personally train him, so he was slated to become an ordinary sect disciple.】

【However, at your request, Cai Yonglong ultimately became your servant and followed by your side.】

【In the blink of an eye, three years passed. Due to your Blue Talent: Demonic Cultivation in Turbulent Times, your talent in demonic cultivation was exceptionally high. Although you didn’t reach the level of a Sacred Son, you weren’t inferior to the other true disciples of the Bloodthirsty Demon Sect. Consequently, you successfully elevated your cultivation to the seventh level of the Profound Elixir Realm within these three years.】

【You also mastered the true Bloodthirsty Demon Art. It turns out that the Blood Demon Yuan Feng’s cultivation art was only the upper volume. The true Bloodthirsty Demon Art is divided into three volumes: upper, middle, and lower. The upper volume is a high-level celestial technique; the middle volume, an ultimate celestial technique; while the lower volume is a legendary King Realm technique, created by a powerful being of the King Realm.】

【However, only those in the Life and Death Realm are qualified to cultivate King Realm techniques. The lower volume can only be cultivated by demonic cultivators whose cultivation exceeds the Life and Death Realm. So, you cultivated the middle-volume technique of the Bloodthirsty Demon Art.】

【Additionally, you chose a suitable demonic divine ability from the Bloodthirsty Demon Sect to cultivate. Although the sect hosts many secret divine methods, you only cultivated the high-grade demonic sword technique: Purgatory Demon Sword. For prodigies of your level, it’s not always best to cultivate the highest grade divine abilities, as you can rarely master them to perfection, only utilizing part of their power.】

【Moreover, higher-grade divine abilities are harder to master, consuming excessive time. Thus, cultivating a suitable lower-grade divine ability intensely may be more effective than high-grade abilities.】

【Of course, your main purpose in cultivating others’ divine abilities is not just to increase your combat power, but also to use them as reference to create your own. Over these three years, you’ve succeeded in this endeavor, creating your own divine sword technique: Demon Sun: Afterglow. Although this technique’s grade is only low-level for now, you believe in its potential and that with ongoing refinement, it can undoubtedly become a high-grade or even ultimate divine ability.】

“The talent of Demonic Cultivation in Turbulent Times… is truly terrifying…”

Wang Ping marveled at the simulated content.

Goodness, although demonic cultivation’s early stages are known to be faster than righteous cultivation, this blue talent allowed him to elevate his cultivation to the seventh level of the Profound Elixir Realm in just three short years, which is just too fast.

Moreover, with this talent, his comprehension abilities were astonishing, managing to learn a high-grade demonic divine ability and even create his own in three years—truly remarkable.

It should be noted that before this, Wang Ping had always struggled to grasp divine abilities.

“I never expected that my first divine ability would be self-created during demonic cultivation.”

Wang Ping’s mood was unsettled, his expression complex.

Could it be that he was more suited for demonic cultivation?

“I might be overthinking it… It’s not that I’m better suited for demonic cultivation, but rather that this blue talent, Demonic Cultivation in Turbulent Times, has a grade that is effectively red when disregarding its major personality-altering side effect. It’s not just an enhancement in one aspect like comprehension or root bones, but an all-encompassing boost.”

Wang Ping quickly exhaled lightly, calming himself down, thinking silently.

Talents with side effects often surpass their nominal grade, and this is vividly demonstrated with Demonic Cultivation in Turbulent Times.

‘If my self-created divine sword technique appears in the next refresh, I wonder if I’ll be able to use it,’ Wang Ping pondered this question again.

To wield divine abilities, the method, state of mind, and martial skills must all align—this was something Wang Ping had learned from the intelligence gathered in the Heavenly Sea Kingdom.

But the Heavenly Sea Kingdom was ultimately just a mid-tier country, and the information might not be accurate.

If such complex conditions were necessary, wouldn’t it be impossible for Purple Spirit Realm cultivators to use others’ divine abilities?

Switching cultivation methods later would also render self-created divine abilities unusable.

‘Maybe it’s not that complicated. It just requires some adjustment. This is somewhat similar to the Red Flame Technique,’ Wang Ping analyzed in his heart.

Afterward, Wang Ping calmed his mind and continued to gaze at the screen.

【After you prepared yourself, you then participated in the Bloodthirsty Demon Sect’s trial. Ultimately, you emerged successfully among your peers and were selected to go to the Nine Nether Demon Sect. However, Cai Yonglong was not qualified to go to the Nine Nether Demon Sect and had to stay in the Bloodthirsty Demon Sect. There was nothing you could do about it.】
These three years, Cai Yonglong’s help has been significant; otherwise, you wouldn’t have cultivated to the seventh level of the Profound Elixir Realm in three years without affecting your foundation. But you don’t think much about it for now; when you return from the Nine Nether Demon Sect, you can still use Cai Yonglong to find opportunities.

Next, you’re taken by the Bloodthirsty Demon Lord to the small world where the Nine Nether Demon Sect resides. Among them, Bing Ningyue and other Bloodthirsty Demon Sect disciples are very indifferent to you. Especially Bing Ningyue, who has an implicit killing intent towards you.

Bing Ningyue, after breaking free from your enslavement, hates you to the extreme. Without you, she wouldn’t have fallen into the Demon Sect… She may never see the light of day again.

After arriving at the small world where the Nine Nether Demon Sect is located, you also see the Demon Lords of the other seven major Demon Sects and the disciples they brought. After the Demon Lords exchanged sarcastic remarks, the Vice Leader of the Nine Nether Demon Sect appeared.

The Vice Leader of the Nine Nether Demon Sect, bringing the disciples trained by the sect, announced the rules for joining this time. The disciples of the eight major Demon Sects will engage in a slaughter in the Blood Forest. When the number of people is reduced by half, those who survive will truly join the Nine Nether Demon Sect and receive focused training.

Your heart chills; the Nine Nether Demon Sect is indeed ruthless. After screening geniuses once, they do it again in a manner akin to raising poisonous insects. No wonder the reputation of the Nine Nether Demon Sect is so terrifying, making people tremble with fear. Under such a stringent selection mechanism, anyone under the Nine Nether Demon Sect’s banner is undoubtedly a true demonhead, rarely meeting an equal in their realm. Even the true disciples of the major holy lands would get beaten when encountering true disciples of the Nine Nether Demon Sect.

‘Why does the style of the Nine Nether Demon Sect seem so familiar…’

Wang Ping looked at the simulated content, his gaze became odd.

Isn’t this exactly how Alpha used to operate?

Raising all sorts of poisonous insects.

Then, a particularly perverted transmigrator would break free and dismantle it.

‘This ‘senior transmigrator’ is playing the same game.’

Aren’t they afraid that they might also cultivate a terrifying powerhouse who would pull the same trick?

Alpha: ‘…’

‘Humans are much more cunning than me. He must have some controlling means, he wouldn’t let things get out of his control.’

Alpha suddenly appeared, explaining.

‘I think so too.’

Wang Ping nodded in approval of Alpha’s words.

‘By the way, Alpha, what is the name of this ‘senior transmigrator’? How did he perform in the chat group at that time?’

Wang Ping suddenly remembered something and asked curiously.

‘His name is Chu Xiao. His presence in the chat group back then wasn’t strong, because the Emperor-level combat power was not a big deal in that chat group. However, every move he made was very ruthless, quickly completing the chat group’s tasks. So although his presence wasn’t strong, his combat power wasn’t exceptional either, his methods of doing things were quite impressive.’

Alpha quietly explained.

‘Uh…’

Wang Ping was left speechless.

Even Emperor-level combat power wasn’t significant before the destruction of the last chat group?

It seems that the chat group at that time must have developed for a long time.

Well, it must have developed to such an extent that the big bosses in the group were qualified to contact other forces across the heavens and then dismantle the chat group.

‘Chu Xiao, huh… even his name suggests he is not a simple character.’

Wang Ping thought silently to himself.

Like his name and the names of the people in the group, they are quite common, plain names.

Yet Chu Xiao’s name is rather rare, often appearing in various novels as important supporting characters or protagonists.

‘I really wonder how strong he is now, whether he has reached the level of the Emperor of Judgement, or is close to that level.’

Wang Ping mutely speculated.

‘Alpha, what’s his attitude towards the chat group? Is he also an adversary? Is there any possibility of turning him into an ally?’

Wang Ping rubbed his chin and asked another question.

If his future combat power surpassed the other’s and he had the ability to fully control the other, bringing him into the chat group would be a good move.

After all, a person who grew to this point on his own, if rejoining the chat group, would be a top-tier combatant.

‘Abandon that thought… There was not a single old transmigrator who didn’t hold animosity towards me. As soon as he discovers your existence, he will go to great lengths to kill you.’

Alpha said coldly and mercilessly.
“As for you dominating your opponent and controlling him… Are you sure you can handle him? I’ve tried many times to control them, but they ended up outsmarting me. Those transmigrators who grew by themselves are good at disguise. They can deceive themselves first and then me. Even though I’ve been monitoring their thoughts, I was still tricked…”

“You might have the advantage of a Golden Finger over them, but in terms of personal skills, you guys are like flowers in a greenhouse. Compared to them, you really don’t stand a chance at the moment. If he discovers you, I’m afraid you’ll be at his mercy…”

“…”

Wang Ping’s mouth twitched, speechless.

Alright, he was indeed naive.

They were indeed like flowers in a greenhouse, growing quickly thanks to the Golden Finger and the benefits from Alpha.

In terms of skills, these new transmigrators who have lived only a short time can’t compare with those ‘veteran transmigrators’ who have lived for who knows how long and even make Alpha wary.

Not to mention his current combat strength is far from the other’s. Even if his combat strength was much stronger, Wang Ping might not be able to control him.

According to Alpha, he could really end up being outsmarted into death.

Therefore, the best option upon encountering the other is to kill him thoroughly.

Perhaps the other party thinks the same.

Wang Ping then collected his thoughts and continued to stare at the screen.

【You were sent to the Bloodshed Forest for a slaughter. You successfully condensed a Flawless Profound Elixir, your combat strength is extraordinary, and your methods are numerous. You weren’t injured on the first day. However, on the second day, you encountered Bing Ningyue. Bing Ningyue, holding a deep grudge against you, attacked without hesitation.】

【Faced with Bing Ningyue, whose talent had been activated by the Bloodthirsty Demon Lord, you were under great pressure and wanted to escape. However, Bing Ningyue was far stronger than you and ruthlessly pursued you.】

【In the end, you were killed by her. No one among the demonic path bigwigs watching from the outside cared about your death. Despite condensing a Flawless Profound Elixir, your performance was far inferior to the monstrous geniuses of the past who also condensed a Flawless Profound Elixir. You could only be considered an ordinary genius. Even the Bloodthirsty Demon Lord didn’t care about your demise.】

【Considering your three-year performance, he believed you were just average. Your talent, in his view, was merely on par with an ordinary Holy Land true disciple, and it was only through defying luck that you condensed a Flawless Profound Elixir. Such a talent, though good, was still expendable.】

【The demonic path bigwigs were more focused on Bing Ningyue. They discerned her identity and background, each envying the Bloodthirsty Demon Lord. They hadn’t expected him to bring such a monstrous genius, believing that the Demon Emperor would surely reward him heavily.】

【At this moment, due to the Rebirth Talisman, you resurrected. Bing Ningyue was very surprised by your revival and attacked again. You, knowing you couldn’t match her, chose to fight back with a suicidal stratagem.】

【Your resurrection shocked all the demonic path bigwigs present. Though resurrection methods existed, they were not supposed to be within the means of a Profound Elixir Realm cultivator. Your resurrection, akin to time reversal, was highly anomalous.】

【As a result, they became interested in you. When you faced Bing Ningyue with your suicidal stratagem and were about to be killed by her, the Bloodthirsty Demon Lord intervened, ignoring space and grabbing you.】

【You struggled madly but to no avail, about to have your soul mercilessly searched by the Bloodthirsty Demon Lord.】

【Just as your soul was about to be searched, the Nine Nether Demon Emperor suddenly appeared and saved you. You were astounded, not expecting the Nine Nether Demon Emperor to appear and rescue you unexpectedly.】

【The other bigwigs of the Nine Nether Demon Sect didn’t expect the Demon Emperor to appear and save you either, promptly saluting him.】

【The Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao didn’t say much, merely instructing the others to continue watching the trial before taking you away to his abode.】

【Next, the Nine Nether Demon Emperor directly revealed your identity as a transmigrator. Knowing you couldn’t hide it, you chose to admit it. At the same time, to avoid having your soul searched, you proactively opened your sea of consciousness, allowing the Nine Nether Demon Emperor to examine your memories.】

【The Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao was surprised at your compliance. He chose to view your memories. Though he maintained a calm expression with no visible surprise after reading them.】

【You were puzzled, wondering why he could remain so calm. The Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao didn’t explain much and intended to take you as a direct disciple. You were very surprised by this, not expecting him to be so calm and to even accept you as a personal disciple, clearly intending to focus on cultivating you.】

【Despite not understanding his intentions, you had no reason to refuse and chose to accept. Thus, you successfully became the direct disciple of the Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao.】

“What’s going on here?”

Wang Ping was bewildered by the simulation content.

Bing Ningyue hating him was understandable.

It’s normal for him not to be a match for a demonic path king.

But the Nine Nether Demon Emperor knowing his identity, seeing his memories, realizing the chat group had been rebuilt, and that the chat group started distributing Golden Fingers again… Shouldn’t he be surprised and envious?

Shouldn’t he worry about when the chat group will send grown group members to this world to kill him?

Yet, his reaction… Is this the demeanor of a real bigwig, a ‘veteran transmigrator’ who has seen endless storms?

Such composure, Wang Ping admired.

With that, Wang Ping continued to stare at the screen, intending to see what kind of conclusion this would lead to.

【After becoming the direct disciple of the Nine Nether Demon Emperor, the entire Nine Nether Demon Sect was shaken. The Nine Nether Demon Emperor had never taken a direct disciple before, making you his first direct disciple. This status was so prestigious that it made everyone in the demon sect envious. Moreover, being personally guided by the Nine Nether Demon Emperor would ensure boundless future achievements.】

【Indeed, with the Nine Nether Demon Emperor personally guiding you, your growth speed was maximized.】

【Your roots and comprehension, aided by the treasured medicines collected by the Nine Nether Demon Emperor, reached a terrifying level, no weaker than any Holy Son. Meanwhile, under the careful guidance of the Nine Nether Demon Emperor, your Divine Abilities also kept improving.】
