【Coming up next, the Blazing Fire Secret Realm will soon open. Before it opens, you put on a show again, but this time you refrain from making boastful remarks to avoid excessive arrogance and falling to your demise.】

    【After the Blazing Fire Secret Realm opens, you enter it. This time, you are transported to a location different from the previous two times. This time, you are lucky enough to be teleported near the Blood Pool.】

    【You are pleasantly surprised and did not expect your luck to be so good. Immediately, you think about harvesting the True King Blood Blossom and collecting the corpses of the kings.】

    【As you engage in this action, the beasts in the Blood Pool launch an attack on you, but you had anticipated this and prepared your defenses. An astonishing battle erupts between you and the beasts.】

    【Although the Blood Pool beasts are incredibly powerful, you eventually manage to kill them after wielding the Purple Spirit Illusion Flame and executing the superior Divine Ability — Illusory Flame Sword Song.】

    【After you harvest the True King Blood Blossom and store the king corpses and the entire Blood Pool into your Storage Ring, you prepare to leave. However, something unexpected occurs.】

    【A spatial rift suddenly appears before you, and a dreamy purple flame manifests right in front of you. It is none other than the Purple Spirit Illusion Flame.】

    【The Purple Spirit Illusion Flame stares at you in shock and confusion, seeing through the Purple Spirit Illusion Flame inside your body. As the third-ranked flame on the Anomalous Fire List, it is unique in the world, only giving rise to a new Purple Spirit Illusion Flame if it is extinguished.】

    【Yet, here appeared a second Purple Spirit Illusion Flame, almost indistinguishable from itself, only sealed.】

    【Very soon, the Purple Spirit Illusion Flame realizes that the intelligence of this flame has been erased, infuriating it. It burns you to ashes instantly.】

    【Because of the Rebirth Talisman, you resurrect, shocked and trying to flee, but you are much too powerless in front of the Purple Spirit Illusion Flame and die tragically again.】

    【Due to your death, this simulation ends.】

    ‘This’

    Wang Ping fell silent.

    What kind of situation is this? After all the effort to become stronger with the Purple Spirit Illusion Flame, even surpassing Ye Chen…

    After entering the Blazing Fire Secret Realm, being so lucky to teleport near the Blood Pool and gaining so many treasures…

    Yet, it was because of the Purple Spirit Illusion Flame that it became even more dangerous.

    He used the Purple Spirit Illusion Flame, and the inherent Purple Spirit Illusion Flame in the Blazing Fire Secret Realm sensed it, tearing through space to appear before him and killing him.

    ‘The rules of this Blazing Fire Secret Realm are really a trap.’

    Wang Ping was speechless.

    The rules prohibit cultivators above the Nirvana Realm from entering.

    Even the Life and Death Realm cultivators must suppress their cultivation.

    Yet, inside the Secret Realm, there are Life and Death Realm beasts and an even more terrifying fire, like the Purple Spirit Illusion Flame, which could at least be at the Nirvana Realm, if not the King Realm.

    Doesn’t this mean that if the Purple Spirit Illusion Flame wanted, it could easily wipe out all the geniuses in the Secret Realm?

    Of course, the Purple Spirit Illusion Flame is intelligent and understands the background of these people in the Secret Realm and won’t do something like that.

    Doing so would provoke all major forces, a consequence even emperors can’t bear, let alone it.

    So, it dares not kill indiscriminately and must hide itself to avoid detection.

    If someone knows about the existence of the Purple Spirit Illusion Flame, it would be in big trouble.

    Of course, if someone is unlucky enough to encounter it, they are only fated to die without any chance of spreading the news.

    ‘What a mess.’

    Wang Ping frowned.

    Although he can use the Purple Spirit Illusion Flame freely outside, not being able to wield it in the Secret Realm significantly reduces his advantage, preventing him from truly being invincible among his peers.

    ‘Forget it, I don’t need to overthink. My current advantage lies in the Purple Spirit Illusion Flame, but by accumulating other aspects of combat power through simulation, I can still crush them.’

    Wang Ping shook his head again and murmured softly.

    Paid simulation and maximizing rewards grant him much more time for enlightenment than other geniuses.

    Moreover, his ambition extends beyond merely competing with his contemporaries; even Ye Chen, filled with good fortune, will eventually be left behind in simulations…

    A cheater is the strongest!

    As Wang Ping’s mind wandered, his vision changed back to the scene where he was burned to death by the Purple Spirit Illusion Flame.

    With the death in simulation, Wang Ping’s vision returned to normal, and the System’s voice timely resounded.

    ‘Ding, rewards generated successfully. The host can choose two of the following rewards:

    ①. Half-Step Life and Death Realm cultivation.

    ②. King-level technique · Scorching Origin Sword Manual.

    ③. King-level Secret Technique.

    ④. King-level Divine Ability · Black Flame Scorching Heaven.

    ⑥. Superior Divine Ability · Illusory Flame Sword Song.

    ⑦. Combat Experience.’

    ‘System, I choose ①. Half-Step Life and Death Realm cultivation and Superior Divine Ability · Illusory Flame Sword Song.’

    Wang Ping glanced at the reward list and made his choice.

    This time he could choose Half-Step Life and Death Realm cultivation; next time, he might not be able to get it.

    Since simulation Wang Ping died twice in the Blazing Fire Secret Realm, he will definitely play it safe in the next simulation and not die easily.

    This means that in the next simulation, Wang Ping’s cultivation may reach the Life and Death Realm.

    At that time, if he chooses it, the paid simulation will be too resource-consuming. If he doesn’t choose, his cultivation might be stuck in the Half-Step Yin-Yang Realm, which would be very troublesome.

    Half-Step Yin-Yang Realm cultivation would be a hidden danger for the upcoming journey to the Black Source Country and possible group tasks.

    As for the other rewards, there’s no need to ponder much; self-created Superior Divine Ability—Illusory Flame Sword Song—can maximize his combat power.

    Though the other items are equally precious, he can continue to grind them out in simulations.

    Indeed, Wang Ping was already considering that as the simulations progress, King-level techniques, Secret Techniques, and Divine Abilities are merely transitional.

    The next time they might refresh, they could very well be Emperor-level.
    Why settle for a King Realm when the Emperor Realm is within reach?

    If you’re going to learn, you should learn from the best, shouldn’t you?

    As Wang Ping made his choice, the cultivation within his body began to surge wildly.

    His Yin-Yang Diagrams transformed, constructed from pure Yin and pure Yang power, becoming increasingly distinct and powerful.

    Eventually, he took that step, achieving the level of the Half-Step Life and Death Realm.

    The Half-Step Life and Death Realm already allows one to start comprehending the mysteries of life and death, far surpassing the Yin-Yang Realm.

    “So, this is the Half-Step Life and Death Realm… Truly powerful…”

    Wang Ping felt the surging power within him, his mood immensely pleased.

    The difference between the Life and Death Realm and the Yin-Yang Realm lies in the comprehension of the mysteries of life and death.

    The Life and Death Realm is also the most dangerous realm.

    This is because, in the Life and Death Realm, one constantly switches between life and death.

    Life force in the Life and Death Realm is exceptionally tenacious, with horrifying recovery abilities. Even if the heart is blasted, or limbs severed, one can still regenerate. This is due to the power of life.

    As for the power of death, it only appears during the breakthrough of each minor realm and is a trial of death for the Life and Death Realm.

    If one fails to overcome this trial of death, their physical body and divine soul will be completely destroyed by the power of death.

    Therefore, the Life and Death Realm is powerful yet dangerous, and one cannot casually engage in combat.

    If power is exerted too ferociously, or too much death power is used, it may trigger one’s trial of death, leading to complete demise.

    “The Life and Death Realm… might be the most dangerous realm. I wonder how many geniuses have perished in the trials of death, among them not a few who rival Ji Bingyue…”

    Wang Ping sighed.

    The more talented one is, the more terrifying the trial of death, with extremely high danger.

    However, conversely, if one survives, the benefits are astounding compared to ordinary Life and Death Realm cultivators.

    As they say, blessings and misfortunes come hand in hand.

    Common Life and Death Realm cultivators face their trial of death with trepidation, fearing their own demise, even going so far as to suppress their cultivation.

    True seekers of the Dao, however, fearlessly see the trial of death as their tempering.

    In a sense, the Life and Death Realm and the Nirvana Realm are the two realms where ordinary cultivators can turn the tables.

    In the Life and Death Realm, by comprehending the mysteries of life and death, one can be reborn through life and death. If one finds ways to increase the difficulty of the trial of death and then surpasses it, it can greatly make up for the deficiencies in the quality of their Profound Elixir and Yin-Yang Diagrams, deepening their foundation, broadening their path of cultivation.

    As for the Nirvana Realm, it goes without saying, it is rebirth and ascension.

    These two realms can allow ordinary cultivators to turn the tables and also give prodigies hope of advancing further, chasing after stronger beings, quite an intricate entanglement.

    Unfortunately, most cultivators lack the courage to enhance their trial of death, to be reborn through life and death, to ascend through Nirvana.

    “If I were an ordinary cultivator, I probably wouldn’t take that risk either. Their choices can’t be said to be wrong.”

    Wang Ping sighed inwardly.

    Among numerous cultivators, how many can truly face life and death?

    In the Life and Death Realm, with a lifespan of three to four thousand years, one can enjoy many of life’s wonders. How many are willing to take that risk?

    Wang Ping thought that even the simulated Wang Ping wouldn’t choose to strengthen his trial of death, striving to surpass everyone else.

    Wang Ping’s favorite strategy was always to play it safe.

    He soon calmed his thoughts, unwilling to dwell on it further, and prepared to accept the memories of Divine Abilities.

    Sure enough, the next second, numerous memories flooded Wang Ping’s mind.

    These were his insights into Divine Abilities.

    It had to be said, the reward was substantial, like a ‘buy one, get four free’ offer.

    Not only did he gain insights into the superior Divine Ability · Illusory Flame Sword Song.

    He also had his self-created superior Divine Ability · Scorching Sky Slash, mid-grade Divine Ability · Fiery Red Shadow, and low-grade Divine Ability · Azure Heaven.

    “With four Divine Abilities in hand, I can be more selective about their use…”

    Wang Ping opened his eyes and chuckled softly.

    When it comes to Divine Abilities, the more, the better, allowing for selective use.

    After all, the higher the grade of a Divine Ability, the more energy it consumes.

    Without lower-grade Divine Abilities, using a superior Divine Ability to deal with an enemy feels like using a cannon to kill a mosquito, an utter waste of one’s energy.

    “Speaking of which, System, now that I’ve reached the Half-Step Life and Death Realm, how many spirit stones are needed for a paid simulation?”

    Wang Ping calmed his mind and inquired inwardly.

    To be honest, he felt quite anxious.

    “Ding, detecting that the host’s cultivation has reached the Half-Step Life and Death Realm, the number of supreme-grade spirit stones required for a paid simulation is 300,000, or thirty pounds of lower-grade elemental liquid.”

    The System’s voice rang out.

    “…”

    Wang Ping’s face twitched at the amount.

    Although he knew that the cost would increase dramatically after reaching the Half-Step Life and Death Realm from the Half-Step Yin-Yang Realm, skyrocketing a major realm and so many minor realms.

    But a fifteen-fold increase was absurd.

    The required amount of supreme-grade spirit stones jumped directly to 300,000—an overwhelming amount that gave him a headache just thinking about it.

    Moreover, there was now a new ‘currency.’

    Lower-grade elemental liquid, something far more precious than supreme-grade spirit stones, used only by great beings in the Life and Death Realm for cultivation.
    If it were used by someone in the Yin-Yang Realm, it would be a crucial item for breaking through, extremely precious.

    It can be said that, in the Heavenly Sea Kingdom, the annual production of lower-grade yuan liquid is very limited, and only the royal family or those great sects with Life and Death Realm powerhouses have the right to obtain some.

    “Sigh, as my cultivation level increases, the cost of simulation is really getting higher…”

    Wang Ping felt a bit troubled.

    Of course, no matter how high the cost gets, it’s still better than the initial version of the simulator.

    Back then, the consumption method was truly life-threatening.

    Simulate a few more times, and even the spirit stones in the entire cosmic space wouldn’t be enough.

    “Thinking about it this way, maybe I can expand into other systems. Improving the strength of other systems won’t increase the cost, while still making me stronger, saving a lot of spirit stones.”

    Wang Ping pondered silently.

    This idea had occurred before. However, one consideration was that the systems appearing in the chat group weren’t particularly powerful.

    The high martial system from Wang Shuqing’s world is decent, but a Martial Saint is only comparable to the Transcendent Realm.

    Of course, that world has extraterrestrial civilization relics, so the upper limit is definitely not low.

    But currently, higher levels haven’t been reached yet and need to wait.

    As for the Beastmaster World, its upper limit is pretty good, but nurturing beasts requires local resources, and the simulator can’t refresh real biological rewards.

    “Uh, that doesn’t seem right.”

    Wang Ping suddenly snapped back and muttered.

    He previously thought it wouldn’t appear.

    But didn’t the Purple Spirit Illusion Flame gain sentience, considered a living being?

    If that counts, it seems possible to refresh it.

    “However, if refreshed without sentience, then the beast has no significance.”

    Wang Ping frowned slightly, muttering to himself.

    “I advise you not to go to Wu Yueming’s Beastmaster World for now.”

    At this moment, Alpha’s voice suddenly rang out, making Wang Ping a bit stunned.

    “What do you mean… Wait, are you saying that the ‘transmigrator senior’ of that world noticed me?”

    “Not him, but you were noticed. To be precise, after your last visit, you were noticed.”

    Alpha’s cold, emotionless voice sounded.

    “Uh…”

    Wang Ping was speechless.

    “Using powers not belonging to that world, ordinary beastmasters wouldn’t find anything wrong, but top-level masters using powerful beasts in that world would sense it.”

    Alpha explained.

    “Frankly speaking, you left just in time; if you had stayed a bit longer, you might have been in some danger.”

    “…”

    Wang Ping was speechless.

    He only stayed in the Beastmaster World for such a short time, and almost got stuck there. How ridiculous.

    What else could he say? No wonder a world with ten-star battle power is so formidable.

    “Then wouldn’t Wu Yueming be in danger? He said last time that he was recruited into the top Beastmaster Academy, so he must have been noticed.”

    Wang Ping asked, frowning.

    “Wu Yueming’s talent ensures he will thrive in that world, but your case is different; how they regard you is unknown, so you need to be cautious.”

    Alpha explained calmly.

    “I see.” Wang Ping nodded thoughtfully, then said, “Forget it, temporarily avoiding the Beastmaster World isn’t a problem, I can still consider Qin Tian’s cultivation world.”

    “The power system of that world isn’t as strong as yours; there’s little point in going there. Besides, these two systems would conflict.”

    Alpha’s voice sounded once more, cold as ever.

    “In truth, the high martial system is most suitable for dual cultivation. It focuses on refining the physical body’s strength, and the energy doesn’t conflict.”

    “Alright then.”

    Wang Ping nodded helplessly.

    It seems that in the short term, using other world’s systems to get stronger, thus saving spirit stones, is not feasible.

    Of course, he could consider proactively visiting Wang Shuqing’s world for simulation.

    Using future simulations to obtain the subsequent system of that world in advance is also a good choice.

    It seems highly feasible.

    “Once I resolve the main matters in this world, I can try.”

    Wang Ping thought silently.

    “Cai Yonglong, we can head to the Black Source Country now.”

    After gathering his thoughts, Wang Ping found Cai Yonglong and said directly.

    “Uh, going now? Don’t we still lack travel expenses?”

    Cai Yonglong asked in astonishment.

    “Travel expenses can be handled by targeting a major sect for a sting operation.”

    Wang Ping said meaningfully.

    They had the Profound Turtle Aura. As long as they exposed it, trouble would come to them.
    Then, they would be able to launch a counterattack without any issues and demand compensation… that’s not too much, right?

    As for the target, he thought the North Sun Sect, where Zhao Feng belonged, would be perfect.

    That bastard had grossed him out in the life simulation… The old geezer at the Profound Elixir Realm from the North Sun Sect had killed him multiple times when he was weak.

    “Uh, fishing enforcement…”

    Cai Yonglong’s gaze turned peculiar.

    “Is this really okay? Won’t it cause any trouble? With our current strength, we’re still not strong enough to go against the great sects of the Heavenly Sea Kingdom…”

    Cai Yonglong said hesitantly.

    “Afraid of what? I’ve already reached the Half-Step Life and Death Realm. Crushing a regular Life and Death Realm cultivator is as easy as squashing an ant.”

    Wang Ping patted Cai Yonglong’s shoulder and said casually.

    “Holy crap!”

    Cai Yonglong’s eyes widened with disbelief and his face turned blank.

    Damn, Brother Wang has reached the Half-Step Life and Death Realm already? This level-up speed is outrageous.

    “Is this the Life Simulator? It’s really absurd. All the golden fingers combined in the group can’t match Brother Wang’s.”

    Cai Yonglong murmured with some envy.

    “It’s not that exaggerated. Chen Yao and Lin Yuanyuan’s golden fingers are quite strong too. Besides, Wu Jun’s golden finger also has an absurdly high ceiling.”

    Wang Ping said with a smile.

    “Chen Yao and Lin Yuanyuan are indeed strong, but they can’t compare to you, Brother Wang. As for Wu Jun… his potential is high, but his golden finger has an absurdly low floor.”

    Cai Yonglong retorted.

    “To be honest, I don’t like such unstable golden fingers.”

    “That’s only for now. When Wu Jun levels up, I think you won’t say that again.”

    Wang Ping shook his head. He was very optimistic about Wu Jun’s potential.

    “Speaking of which, are you really sure you can easily kill a Life and Death Realm expert? That is the Life and Death Realm after all, it’s a whole different concept from the Half-Step Life and Death Realm.”

    Cai Yonglong couldn’t help but question again.

    In cultivation, the further you go, the bigger the gap between major realms becomes, and it becomes increasingly difficult to fight across realms.

    Even among the Holy Sons, he rarely heard of anyone who could kill a Life and Death Realm master while only being in the Half-Step Life and Death Realm.

    Can Wang Ping really do it?

    After all, he had just reached the Half-Step Life and Death Realm.

    Even if he was cheating, he should at least be a bit logical.

    “Don’t worry, I’m rock solid.”

    Wang Ping said confidently.

    “If you’re really worried, I’ll simulate once later. Although I don’t want to waste a simulation opportunity, it’s better to be safe than sorry.”

    Wang Ping shook his head.

    He knew the North Sun Sect’s Life and Death Realm experts were only at the second level of the Life and Death Realm.

    To be precise, the Life and Death Realm experts in the Heavenly Sea Kingdom were all quite weak, they were the floor tiles of the Life and Death Realm.

    Even the strongest Life and Death Realm forefather in the Heavenly Sea Kingdom was only at the third level of the Life and Death Realm.

    For these ordinary Life and Death Realm experts, it was very difficult to cross that threshold and become mid-level Life and Death Realm cultivators.

    To put it plainly, the Life and Death Realm experts in the Heavenly Sea Kingdom had the mentality of loafing around.

    They didn’t want to take great risks to break through; after all, they could enjoy three to four thousand years just by becoming Life and Death Realm experts, which was good enough for them.

    This was also the mentality of those at the Half-Step Life and Death Realm.

    So, dealing with these ordinary Life and Death Realm experts was really easy for Wang Ping.

    Of course, simulation was one thing and reality was another. Since he didn’t have a grudge against them, he had no intention of slaughtering them and wiping out their sect.

    His aim was just to do some fishing enforcement and earn a little travel money.

    “Uh, let’s forget it then. Simulation chances are so precious, who knows when a task might pop up. We can’t afford to waste them.”

    Cai Yonglong quickly shook his head to dissuade when he heard Wang Ping was going to simulate.

    “I’m thinking the same.”

    Wang Ping nodded slightly.

    Currently, he didn’t have enough resources left to conduct a paid simulation.

    Thus, the free simulation had become exceptionally valuable and could not be wasted.

    There were many situations where simulations were required.

    For any random task, a simulation was needed.

    Although with his current strength, unless he encountered anomalies, ordinary group tasks could be easily cleared by simulating once just to confirm safety, but it was still necessary to save simulations to prevent emergencies where he might not have enough simulation chances.

    After that, Wang Ping and Cai Yonglong did not waste any more time. After settling down Ye Chen, they headed to the North Sun Sect’s territory together.

    Upon reaching the mountain range under the North Sun Sect, Cai Yonglong initiated the fishing enforcement.

    Cai Yonglong directly removed the Aura Concealing Technique and blatantly exposed his Profound Turtle Aura.

    Soon after, Wang Ping felt a powerful aura approaching.

    It was a cultivator wearing the elder’s robe of the North Sun Sect, with a cultivation level at the seventh level of the Profound Elixir Realm.

    “Hmph, a ‘descendant of Sinful Blood’? How dare you come to the gates of my North Sun Sect… truly seeking death.”

    “But this is good too, as long as I kill you, I can also earn some rewards.”
    The North Sun Sect elder of the Profound Elixir Realm seventh level looked down on Cai Yonglong with a cold snort.

    “Who are you? I have no feud with you. Why do you accuse me of being of Sinful Blood descent and want to kill me?”

    Cai Yonglong performed dramatically, shouting loudly.

    “An ant doesn’t deserve to know this elder’s identity. Die.”

    The North Sun Sect elder said disdainfully, forming a massive Spiritual Essence hand to strike Cai Yonglong.

    Facing this terrifying attack, Cai Yonglong showed no panic. Instead, he suppressed his expression and revealed a mocking look.

    This made the elder somewhat startled, finding it very anomalous.

    “A mere Profound Elixir Realm cultivator dares to kill my friend? How audacious.”

    At this moment, the giant Spiritual Essence hand suddenly shattered, and a cold voice echoed.

    Following this, a terrifying aura spread out.

    This aura made the North Sun Sect elder of the Profound Elixir Realm seventh level turn pale with fear as he looked up at Wang Ping, who had appeared in the sky.

    “This… This is the aura of the Yin-Yang Realm… No, it’s the Half-Step Life and Death Realm…”

    The entire body of the North Sun Sect elder trembled with extreme terror.

    Their North Sun Sect naturally had an ancestor of the Half-Step Life and Death Realm, so he recognized Wang Ping’s aura level.

    However, though it felt like the Half-Step Life and Death Realm, Wang Ping seemed far stronger than that ancestor.

    For a moment, the North Sun Sect elder was overwhelmed, never expecting a ‘Sinful Blood descendant’ to have such a powerful figure.

    He knew very well that they were at the base of North Sun Mountain, but he didn’t shout ‘This is North Sun Sect, even if you have Half-Step Life and Death Realm power, you can’t be arrogant’ or such nonsense.

    Shouting that would get him killed immediately; no one could save him.

    Of course, the North Sun Sect elder knew well that he didn’t need to provoke the other side, as the powerful aura would inevitably attract the sect’s ancestors to suppress him.

    Sure enough, just as he was having a brainstorm, several terrifying auras suddenly burst out from the North Sun Sect.

    In the blink of an eye, many figures transformed into divine rainbows, appearing in the nearby sky.

    Leading them were the two Life and Death Realm ancestors of the North Sun Sect.

    Behind them were three Half-Step Life and Death Realm ancestors.

    The rest were Yin-Yang Realm experts.

    These were all the North Sun Sect’s foundations.

    Wang Ping’s disturbance had directly alarmed them all.

    A normal Half-Step Life and Death Realm practitioner would at most alarm one or two Half-Step Life and Death Realm experts of the North Sun Sect.

    But Wang Ping’s aura was too terrifying, though merely midway in the Half-Step Life and Death Realm, he gave these ancient beings the feeling of facing a Life and Death Realm expert.

    Thus, all the great experts cultivating deep within the North Sun Sect were alarmed and came out.

    “Who are you? Why are you troubling our North Sun Sect elder?”

    The leading Life and Death Realm ancestor of the North Sun Sect stared at Wang Ping, eyes full of fear, and asked solemnly.

    As a Life and Death Realm expert, having lived so long, his knowledge naturally far exceeded ordinary people.

    He had seen true disciples and even holy sons of the Holy Land.

    But even the holy sons of the Holy Land, upon reaching the Half-Step Life and Death Realm, didn’t have such a terrifying aura as Wang Ping’s, which made him feel this level of danger.

    “My name is Bai Tianhong, a wandering cultivator. I happened to come near your North Sun Sect and wanted to show my friend the scenery of North Sun Mountain. I didn’t expect your elder to insult my friend as a ‘Sinful Blood descendant’ and even wanted to kill him.”

    Wang Ping calmly met the North Sun Sect Life and Death Realm ancestor’s gaze and spoke flatly.

    Hearing this, the Life and Death Realm ancestor of North Sun Sect glanced at Cai Yonglong and the elder, slightly frowning.

    ‘Sinful Blood descendants’ were very sensitive. Once encountered, killing them was no big deal.

    Not to mention, you could gain some benefits, so naturally, you wouldn’t let them go.

    But, who’d have thought they’d kick an iron plate…

    A ‘Sinful Blood descendant’ from the Profound Turtle Continent had already grown to this level. It was truly astonishing.

    Thus, they couldn’t suppress others with force.

    “This might be a misunderstanding. Why not give this old man some face and let me apologize to you? How about we settle it that way?”

    The Life and Death Realm ancestor of the North Sun Sect spoke softly.

    “Heh, what is your face worth?” Wang Ping sneered, “My friend’s life isn’t that cheap. Either you compensate with a thousand catties of lower-grade Yuan Liquid, or we fight.”

    Hearing this, the North Sun Sect experts turned black with rage.

    A thousand catties of Yuan Liquid! That’s practically emptying their sect’s foundations…

    The North Sun Sect had accumulated only a few hundred catties of lower-grade Yuan Liquid over so many years.

    Yuan Liquid was incredibly precious, extracted by Life and Death Realm cultivators through a special secret method from unique veins, which was extremely cumbersome.

    In an instant, the North Sun Sect experts understood.

    The other party was completely baiting them into a trap, extorting them.

    The key was, it was indeed their fault for attacking first…

    The other side was standing on moral high ground.

    “Hmph, ‘Sinful Blood descendants’ should be annihilated by everyone. Our North Sun Sect did nothing wrong. But you, boy, are really despicable, extorting us.”

    The Life and Death Realm ancestor of the North Sun Sect’s eyes turned icy cold, speaking harshly.

    “Do you really think our North Sun Sect is easy to bully?”
