145 – Two Felled in one Move, his Might Revealed

“Sorry, but we really do think your North Sun Sect is pretty easy to bully.”

Before Wang Ping could say anything, Cai Yonglong muttered.

This statement caused all the powerful figures of the North Sun Sect to turn black with anger.

“You’re just an ant at the Spirit Sea Realm. You have no qualification to speak here.”

The North Sun Sect’s elder at the Life and Death Realm showed intense killing intent, releasing the terrifying pressure unique to the Life and Death Realm, intending to crush Cai Yonglong into a blood mist as a warning to Wang Ping.

However, just as his pressure was released, Wang Ping swiftly appeared in front of Cai Yonglong and easily dispelled it.

“I have no intention of increasing bloodshed. As long as your North Sun Sect gives us reasonable compensation, we will end this matter. Otherwise, don’t blame me for tearing down your North Sun Sect’s mountain gate.”

Wang Ping said coldly, his robes fluttering, making no attempt to hide his disdain for the North Sun Sect’s Life and Death Realm elder.

“Junior, don’t be arrogant!”

The two Life and Death Realm elders of the North Sun Sect were furious. They suddenly launched an attack towards Wang Ping.

This move, they did not hold back. Although they hadn’t used the power of death characteristic of the Life and Death Realm, they utilized the strongest Divine Ability of the North Sun Sect.

In an instant, two fire dragons interwoven with solar flames appeared in the sky, rushing towards Wang Ping, destroying everything in their path.

“Superior Divine Ability · Scorching Sky Slash!”

Facing the powerful Divine Ability simultaneously displayed by the Life and Death Realm elders, Wang Ping’s expression remained unchanged. A middle-grade treasure Long Sword appeared in his hand, and he slashed out.

In an instant, purple flames filled the sky, trying to burn it to ashes, then transformed into two fiery Long Swords, instantly slicing the fire dragons in half and reducing them to ashes.

Fire, ignited fire…

“What!?”

Seeing this scene, the two Life and Death Realm elders of the North Sun Sect shrank their pupils, their faces showing astonished expressions.

Their sect’s Divine Ability, though not a superior one, was at least a middle-grade Divine Ability. It shouldn’t have been so fragile.

Even if Wang Ping was a genius and used a superior Divine Ability, this outcome shouldn’t have happened. Even a Holy Son-level figure couldn’t achieve this.

Their cultivation was far superior to Wang Ping’s!

However, this unbelievable scene unfolded right before their eyes, terrifying them.

As for the other powerful figures of the North Sun Sect, they were absolutely horrified.

Using a Half-Step Life and Death Realm cultivation to easily dismantle the attacks of two Life and Death Realm powerhouses was frightfully terrifying, breaking their understanding.

“What do you want?”

The North Sun Sect elder at the Life and Death Realm was somewhat fearful, his tone no longer stern.

“I’ve said it before, facing your North Sun Sect is to seek justice. You resort to killing at the slightest disagreement. I merely ask for compensation, which is already quite reasonable.”

Wang Ping said calmly.

“Fine! Then our North Sun Sect will compensate you. However, we’re not a powerful great sect and can’t provide a thousand pounds of lower-grade Spirit liquid, only two hundred pounds of lower-grade Spirit liquid. We hope you will be understanding.”

The two Life and Death Realm elders of the North Sun Sect exchanged glances, feeling aggrieved but could only speak like this, forced to be humble.

From the previous exchange, they had learned a few things.

Wang Ping’s strength far surpassed theirs.

Even if they risked their lives using the power of death in battle, they likely wouldn’t be his match and could be killed.

Even if they used their true foundation to suppress him, if he wanted to leave, they absolutely couldn’t stop him.

If they let such a terrifying figure escape, they wouldn’t sleep peacefully.

Given the rapid growth of such a monstrous talent, in a few years, his strength might soar again, and he could easily massacre their entire North Sun Sect alone.

Thus, it was better to be humble and hand over the Spirit liquid to resolve the issue.

Spirit liquid could be refined again, but if their lives and orthodoxy were gone, they would have nothing.

“Elders!”

Seeing the two Life and Death Realm elders intending to be humble, the other powerful figures of the North Sun Sect showed shocked expressions, feeling unwilling.

As for the other cultivators in the North Sun Sect, whether they were the Profound Elixir Realm elders or the disciples, they all showed incredulous expressions.

It could be said that their entire understanding was crushed.

In their hearts, the high and mighty, invincible elders at the Yin-Yang Realm and even the Life and Death Realm had no power against a young Half-Step Life and Death Realm cultivator, having to be humble, made them feel their beliefs were collapsing.

Their Dao hearts were also somewhat unstable.

“Shut up.”

Seeing the others unwilling, the two Life and Death Realm elders shouted.

At this, the others could only grudgingly shut their mouths, not daring to say more.

“Two hundred pounds of lower-grade Spirit liquid, plus one million Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones, and this matter is settled.”
Wang Ping slightly raised his eyebrow and spoke up.

“One million Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones.”

The ancestors of the North Sun Sect all showed anger.

Spirit liquid is extremely precious, but its significant impact is mainly on those in the Yin-Yang Realm, Half-Step Life and Death Realm, and Life and Death Realm.

For ordinary cultivators in the Life and Death Realm, Spirit liquid isn’t that impactful. Since they dare not breakthrough, their cultivation stalls at a certain level, and they must suppress their progress.

For the North Sun Sect, Spirit liquid is more valuable as a currency or for purchasing treasures from major countries.

However, Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones are different.

Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones are essential for nurturing Transcendent Realm and Profound Elixir Realm cultivators. They are also needed in the Yin-Yang Realm, various shops of the North Sun Sect requiring them for transactions.

Additionally, in the Heavenly Sea Kingdom, Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones are considered the best ‘currency.’

In other words, they have extensive uses.

Although the value of one million Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones is equivalent to around a hundred jin of low-grade Spirit liquid, due to their utility, the impact of extracting a million Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones at once would be even more severe than taking two hundred jin of low-grade Spirit liquid.

“Fellow Daoist, what you’re doing is excessive. I can at most offer you two hundred jin of low-grade Spirit liquid, along with three hundred thousand Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones. If you won’t agree, I’d rather go down with you!”

The North Sun Sect ancestor spoke angrily.

“Alright then. Two hundred jin of low-grade Spirit liquid, along with three hundred thousand Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones.”

Seeing the other party so furious, Wang Ping knew that his outrageous demand had thoroughly enraged them and stopped insisting, agreeing readily.

“Hehe, fellow Daoist, here is what you asked for. I advise you to be careful; some forces won’t be as easy to bully as our North Sun Sect.”

Upon hearing Wang Ping agree, the North Sun Sect ancestor sighed, his expression still icy. He gathered the items and handed over a Storage Ring to Wang Ping with a sarcastic reminder.

“Hehe, no need for your concern. But let me advise you too, greed can lead to big troubles. ‘Descendants of Sinful Blood’ aren’t to be provoked lightly. Be careful, when the truth comes out, your entire sect’s legacy might be wiped out.”

Wang Ping accepted the Storage Ring, checked its contents, and responded sarcastically as well.

“Hmph.”

Upon hearing this, the Life and Death Realm ancestors of the North Sun Sect stiffened and replied with only a snort, turning into a stream of light and flying back to the depths of the sect.

Witnessing this, other North Sun Sect powerhouses also looked at Wang Ping and Cai Yonglong with anger before flying back in divine rainbow forms.

As for the Profound Elixir Realm elder, he was directly grabbed by a powerful figure in the Yin-Yang Realm and taken back.

On the way back, Wang Ping vaguely saw the Profound Elixir Realm expert being slapped.

“Wow, Brother Wang, we’ve struck gold… Thirty thousand Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones and two hundred jin of Spirit liquid!”

After all the powerhouses of the North Sun Sect left, Cai Yonglong exclaimed excitedly.

“Struck gold indeed, but we’re also in danger. Let’s leave quickly and head to Black Source Country under new identities.”

Wang Ping shook his head, grabbed Cai Yonglong, and also turned into a divine rainbow, disappearing from sight.

The North Sun Sect would never be content with being extorted and would spread the news of the ‘Descendants of Sinful Blood,’ attracting terrifying entities to hunt them.

Of course, they wouldn’t need to do this since many cultivators witnessed the event. The news would inevitably spread across the Heavenly Sea Kingdom and neighboring countries soon.

But Wang Ping wasn’t overly worried.

He and Cai Yonglong had changed their appearances drastically, even altering their height and weight. They had also used false names.

As long as no King Realm powerhouses joined the hunt, they had nothing to fear.

If such powerhouses were dedicated to hunting ‘Descendants of Sinful Blood,’ Wang Ping wouldn’t have survived long in past simulations; he would surely have died the moment he left the Profound Turtle Continent.

Bai Tianhong, the true ‘Descendant of Sinful Blood,’ would never have survived upon leaving the Profound Turtle Continent either.

So, there was nothing to worry about.

Soon, Wang Ping and Cai Yonglong used the teleportation arrays in the Heavenly Sea Kingdom to leave the country.

Not long after their departure, the news that the North Sun Sect was extorted through entrapment and its Life and Death Realm ancestors failed to counter the perpetrators and had to compensate two hundred jin of low-grade Spirit liquid and thirty thousand Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones spread widely, causing a sensation throughout the Heavenly Sea Kingdom.

Many forces mocked the North Sun Sect, and the royal family of the Heavenly Sea Kingdom even took a schadenfreude attitude.

More powerhouses and forces focused on Wang Ping’s whereabouts.

After all, he was a monstrous talent originating from the Profound Turtle Continent, with both talent and combat power surpassing many Holy Land’s Holy Sons. If they could secretly befriend him, it would be a delight.

As for the ‘Descendants of Sinful Blood’ issue, it could be overlooked.

He merely possessed the ‘Profound Turtle Aura,’ not a true Descendant of Sinful Blood.

Even if he were, so what? A monstrous talent like him destined to become a king, possibly even a quasi-Emperor, is worth the investment before he fully matures.

Hence, it’s wise to befriend Wang Ping now, provide him ample resources, and secure a powerful ally for the future.
However, these forces are destined to be disappointed.

Because Wang Ping and Cai Yonglong had already left the Heavenly Sea Kingdom, spending several days crossing multiple countries before arriving at Black Light Valley in the Black Source Country, which had a Nirvana Realm expert stationed there.

Black Light Valley is an anomalous place in the Black Source Country, where strange black light often appears, making it impossible to see the blue sky and white clouds. Some people call this place a demon domain, inhabited by monsters and ghosts.

But, the bigshots of the Black Source Country know that there are no monsters or ghosts here; rather, an extremely powerful being resides in the valley.

Because this powerful being’s cultivation method is of the light attribute, it often causes strange black light phenomena. Over time, the valley was renamed Black Light Valley due to these anomalies.

“Although the Life Simulator explains that this great being is at the Life and Death Realm, it should not be an ordinary Life and Death Realm expert, and their cultivation should be very close to the Nirvana Realm; otherwise, they wouldn’t have such formidable abilities.”

Wang Ping stood outside Black Light Valley, looking at the anomalies within, lost in thought.

He was now very powerful, but when facing Black Light Valley, he still felt an extremely dangerous aura.

It seemed that as long as the person in the valley with the black light made a move on him, he would be definitely doomed…

“Brother Wang, are we going in? I feel it’s a bit dangerous…”

Cai Yonglong looked at Black Light Valley, hesitating, and said.

“What are you afraid of? Nothing will happen.”

Wang Ping shook his head and said.

He had simulated so many times; if something really happened, the simulated Wang Ping would’ve been in trouble long ago.

So, there was no need to be afraid.

“If you don’t dare take this chance right in front of you, you’ll be stuck at your current level for the rest of your life.”

Wang Ping patted Cai Yonglong’s shoulder and said.

“Uh, that’s true…”

Cai Yonglong nodded, composed himself, and took a step into Black Light Valley.

As for Wang Ping, he had no intention of going in; he waited outside.

“Young friend, since you’ve come all the way here, come in and chat with this old man.”

At this moment, a sudden voice sounded, and Wang Ping felt an anomalous force appear, pulling him into Black Light Valley.

This caused Wang Ping’s expression to change slightly.

Although the other party obviously bore no ill will, this force was too strong, leaving him with no power to resist.

Such cultivation was truly astonishing.

In addition, Wang Ping also felt the spatial fluctuations.

Tearing space, forming a spatial passage; this was a Nirvana Realm technique!

In other words, the other party had long since noticed them. If the other party really had malicious intent, Wang Ping would have been killed silently, unable to react.

While Wang Ping thought about various things, his vision changed, and he found himself in the depths of the valley.

In the depths of the valley, there was a small wooden hut. In front of the hut, in the courtyard, there was a peach tree.

Not far from the hut, a clear spring flowed, and white cranes drank water, creating a serene and peaceful atmosphere reminiscent of a utopia.

When Wang Ping regained his composure, he looked at the white-haired old man in the courtyard.

The old man, with kind eyes and a gentle expression, sat on a wooden chair, watching him with great interest.

As for Cai Yonglong, he did not appear here.

“Possessing the Profound Turtle Aura and reaching this level… Not bad, not bad…”

The old man stroked his beard, looking at Wang Ping, and praised.

“Senior, this junior is Bai Tianhong. May I ask how to address you, senior?”

Wang Ping slightly bowed and asked.

“Surname Bai? That’s the surname of the Emperor of Judgement.” The old man’s eyes became peculiar as he scrutinized Wang Ping, chuckling, “In front of this old man, there’s no need for fake names. If I wanted to harm you, no matter what you try, you wouldn’t escape.”

“Uh…” Wang Ping felt awkward.

He was used to using an alias, forgetting that in front of such a character, using a fake name was meaningless.

Moreover, the other party obviously knew something about the descendants of Sinful Blood.

“Wait, Senior, are you a follower of the Emperor of Judgement?”

Wang Ping quickly realized and asked with uncertainty.

“Indeed, this old man was once a follower of the Emperor of Judgement. However, among His followers, this old man was nothing special, just a quasi-King.”

The white-haired old man sighed.

“…”

Wang Ping was speechless.
A quasi-King might not seem like much; it’s genuinely perplexing how to respond to this…

One can only say that the former Emperor of Judgement was overwhelming indeed.

Not only was he powerful, but his followers were equally fearsome.

However, another problem arose.

Since the old man with white hair was once a quasi-King, why has he now fallen to a mere Life and Death Realm cultivator, not even reaching the Nirvana Realm?

Of course, putting this doubt aside for now, Wang Ping understood why the elder chose to imbue his power into Cai Yonglong.

Firstly, Cai Yonglong’s talent was indeed best suited for his legacy.

Secondly, they both bore the Profound Turtle Aura, making the white-haired elder consider them as ‘his own.’

Probably, they were descendants of his former followers.

“Senior, have you lived two lifetimes?”

As more thoughts flashed through Wang Ping’s mind, he curiously asked.

“Without living two lifetimes, I wouldn’t have made it this far, I would’ve died long ago. The lifespan of the Nirvana Realm is just five to six thousand years; a quasi-King might live a bit longer, but not much.”

The white-haired elder nodded, sighing.

“You seem very curious about my current cultivation level?”

Pausing, the white-haired elder smiled lightly.

“Yes, this junior is very curious about senior’s current cultivation level.”

Wang Ping nodded frankly, not feeling embarrassed.

In front of such a powerful figure, it was impossible to hide his thoughts. It was better to be straightforward.

“My current cultivation is only at the Half-Step Nirvana Realm, not far from death.”

The white-haired elder sighed and spoke.

“That’s not right. Senior, upon being reborn, your cultivation should have improved further.”

Wang Ping asked with some confusion.

“Who told you that being reborn makes you stronger than in your first life?”

The white-haired elder shook his head with amusement.

“Rebirth can indeed help you progress smoothly in the early stages thanks to your accumulated insights, but it’s just smooth progress. Cultivation heavily relies on fortune. If you succeeded in your first life due to various opportunities, you might not have the same fortune in your second life to help you breakthrough.”

Pausing, the white-haired elder spoke with a complex expression.

“Moreover, the aptitude of the body you take over might not match your original body. Additionally, the incompatibility between the reborn soul and body significantly impacts cultivation. At first, it might not be noticeable, but it becomes more apparent as your cultivation advances. Furthermore, if you join a major faction, they will quickly notice the discrepancy between your soul and body, and they won’t invest in you. My identity is particularly sensitive.”

“Thus, possession generally makes one weaker, with an upper limit rarely surpassing their first life. Of course, there are exceptions, but they are rare and cannot be considered the norm.”

Listening to the elder’s words, Wang Ping understood many things.

It seems possession is not as simple as he had imagined.

At the same time, he finally understood why there were no old monsters who had lived a second life participating in the Hundred Dynasties Battle and similar competitions. They would be directly exposed for their soul-body mismatch.

Going into the arena to bully the youth would lead to social death.

Social death is secondary; more importantly, they might be directly killed by a displeased powerful figure.

“Few who possess descendants and live a second life achieve great accomplishments. Thus, in the path of cultivation, one must aim to reach the peak in their first life, or they lose the qualification to do so.”

Seeing Wang Ping in contemplation, the white-haired elder advised.

“Thank you, senior, for your guidance. This junior will not entertain any wishful thinking.”

Wang Ping bowed slightly, earnestly speaking.

He would definitely not have any delusions, thinking that dying once is no big deal.

As for the simulation, that has nothing to do with him.

“That’s good.”

The white-haired elder nodded in satisfaction.

Seeing a talented individual like Wang Ping emerge on the Profound Turtle Continent truly made him happy.

Perhaps there was hope for the Emperor of Judgement’s lineage.

Therefore, he naturally wanted to offer some proper guidance, hoping these two juniors wouldn’t take the wrong path.

“Speaking of which, junior, what grade are your Profound Elixir and Yin-Yang Diagrams?”

Then, the white-haired elder curiously asked.

He could see Wang Ping was extraordinary, but he didn’t know exactly what level of genius Wang Ping belonged to.

“Flawless Profound Elixir, perfect Yin-Yang Diagrams.”
Wang Ping hesitated for a moment, but still gave an answer.

He wasn’t merely simulating Wang Ping, facing a desperate situation with no options but to await death.

He had the Rebirth Talisman, Alpha’s assistance, and the chat group’s teleportation function that could transport him to other worlds to escape.

Therefore, he truly wasn’t afraid of the other party harming him.

“What!?”

Hearing this, the white-haired elder finally could not stay calm, widening his eyes in utter shock.

A Flawless Profound Elixir, perfect Yin-Yang Diagrams… Even in the Holy Land, such achievements are exceedingly rare.

Although, with the Holy Land’s resources, it’s indeed easy to cultivate such a prodigy, not every genius is worth the resources for their cultivation.

Those worthy of such investment by the Holy Land are absolutely exceptional, standing far above ordinary prodigies.

And Wang Ping, hailing from the Profound Turtle Continent and undoubtedly a rogue cultivator, had reached this level—this was truly earth-shaking and beyond common sense.

“I see, so you are indeed the protagonist of this era…”

The white-haired elder, a thousand-year-old monster, quickly regained his composure, staring at Wang Ping with a sense of awe.

Every era has its protagonists, often more than one.

These people, be it in talent or fortune, stand far above others, destined for greatness, often with the potential to become Emperors.

To the white-haired elder, Wang Ping was this era’s protagonist, a person with immense fortune.

“Era’s protagonist…”

Wang Ping’s expression was somewhat nuanced, but he did not elaborate.

He wasn’t some era’s protagonist; such immense fortune had nothing to do with him.

He was merely an ordinary trickster.

The true child of fortune, the era’s protagonist, was Ye Chen.

“It seems the lineage of the Emperor of Judgement has genuine hope now…”

The white-haired elder grinned, murmuring to himself.

“Unfortunately, this old man can’t help you with anything, nor do I have the qualification or time to be your guardian.”

After a pause, the white-haired elder regretfully continued.

Wang Ping had reached the Half-Step Life and Death Realm and cultivated previous realms to perfection; he didn’t need the elder’s assistance, and the elder couldn’t help him much.

Regarding resources, the elder had no treasures to offer.

As for Divine Abilities, despite having developed superior ones himself, he believed they wouldn’t benefit Wang Ping much.

Since they walked different paths, Wang Ping couldn’t utilize his abilities or cultivate his methods.

Moreover, in the elder’s view, Wang Ping, as an era’s protagonist, likely had created his own Divine Abilities, possibly even superior to his own.

“Senior, there’s no need to overthink. Although you can’t help me, you can still nurture my friend. His talent in the light attribute is astonishing. I brought him here to seek your guidance and see if you would take him as a disciple.”

Wang Ping spoke respectfully.

“Yes, I can see that.”

The white-haired elder nodded, performing a hand seal that conjured an illusory screen before Wang Ping.

In the screen, Cai Yonglong was undergoing a trial, seeking his optimal path.

“It will probably take him another week to reach here. We can wait patiently.”

The white-haired elder stroked his beard, speaking calmly.

“Once he arrives, I will train him well. To meet someone so suitable for inheriting my mantle before my demise, I can die without regrets.”

“…”

Wang Ping sighed, unsure of how to respond.

After all, he couldn’t prevent the elder from empowering Cai Yonglong.

This was precisely their purpose for coming here.

Yet, witnessing the end of a generation’s powerful figure was still a perplexing experience.

“No need to lament for this old man. I’ve dragged on for many years, with all my friends and family long gone. I have been truly alone, utterly weary of living. Death is but a release for me.”

The white-haired elder shook his head slightly upon seeing Wang Ping’s sigh.

“Worn out of living…”

Wang Ping muttered.

He yearned for immortality, yet in his past life, the topic of longevity had always been highly debated.
Because you are immortal, but those around you are not, living long can easily lead to loneliness, followed by growing weary of life and seeking death.

Of course, many people, after living for a long time and seeing those around them die one by one, become numb and exceptionally cold.

Some emperors in Ye Hei’s world, before severing a part of themselves, also protected all living beings. But after living too long and losing everyone around them, they grew numb and chose self-destruction, all for the sake of becoming immortal.

However, Wang Ping felt he wouldn’t seek death.

With the chat group, knowing matters of the myriad worlds, he wouldn’t lack companions and wouldn’t be lonely.

Not to mention, even if lonely, he would still keep going.

Of course, Wang Ping’s current lifespan was still very short. Whether this would change in the future was another matter.

“The topic seems a bit heavy. By the way, how much do you know about His Majesty?”

Seeing Wang Ping deep in thought, the white-haired elder smiled and changed the subject.

“A lot.”

Wang Ping lightly shook his head and began to recount in detail what he knew.

“Seems like you don’t need me to add anything…”

Seeing that Wang Ping knew so much, the white-haired elder nodded, not feeling too surprised.

For Wang Ping to grow to this point, it was certain he knew what he should. If he didn’t know, he wouldn’t have survived using a Secret Technique to conceal his Aura and grown to this level; he would have died long ago.

“The world scolds His Majesty, but this old man believes that the truth will come out one day. I also believe that His Majesty will not be possessed but will wipe out that anomalous soul, reclaim our lost heritage, and eradicate those wretched talents.”

The white-haired elder looked up at the sky, eyes filled with anticipation and yearning, which eventually turned into melancholy.

“However, this old man probably won’t see that day. It’ll be up to you all to witness it.”

Wang Ping felt exceptionally heavy-hearted, unable to find words of comfort.

While the white-haired elder didn’t know the situation of the Emperor of Judgement, Wang Ping did—for he was likely the only one in the world who knew.

For the Emperor of Judgement to be reborn was almost an impossibility.

Being targeted by the anomaly, possessed by the anomaly, if he could regain partial control of his body at a critical moment and seal himself along with Profound Turtle, that was already impressive. To eliminate the anomaly was absolutely impossible.

The situation of the Emperor of Judgement now was likely that the anomaly had fully taken control of his body. It was only due to some of the Emperor’s techniques for sealing that he couldn’t emerge.

Of course, saying it was totally sealed wasn’t accurate.

At the very least, there would be signs of the seal loosening in the future.

In other words, the anomaly that had possessed the Emperor of Judgement would emerge, not the Emperor himself.

When that time came, the Emperor’s reputation would be utterly ruined.

That was how things would normally progress.

“However, I won’t let that happen.”

Wang Ping silently vowed in his heart.

This wasn’t because of such deeply emotional reflections, but purely out of consideration for his own life and the chat group’s points.

If the anomaly emerged, he would not escape either.

Not to mention, an anomaly of such power held immeasurable value, something he absolutely couldn’t miss.

Over the next month, Wang Ping kept chatting with the white-haired elder.

Perhaps it had been too long since the white-haired elder had someone to talk to, so he had a lot to say, recounting various things from the past to Wang Ping.

In this, Wang Ping was more than willing to be a listener.

Meanwhile, the white-haired elder also occasionally discussed Dao with him.

Although the white-haired elder’s cultivation was only at the Half-Step Nirvana Realm, he had lived for over ten thousand years and had deep insights into cultivation, far beyond what Wang Ping could understand. Some of his wisdom greatly benefited Wang Ping.

This gave Wang Ping a genuine sense of enlightenment, starkly different from the realizations gained through simulations.

As for Cai Yonglong, he had already passed the trial and was also being guided in cultivation by the white-haired elder, who would occasionally grant him blessings, raising his cultivation level.

Of course, the white-haired elder’s cultivation was primarily used to temper Cai Yonglong’s bones and roots, enhancing his aptitude rather than just his cultivation.

This kind of Secret Technique was extremely rare and came at a great cost.

It was because the elder was once a quasi-King and had long comprehended life and death, harboring a wish to die.

If not, it would be impossible for other powerful beings to do such a thing, and even if they could, few would.

In the end, after polishing Cai Yonglong’s roots and foundation and raising his cultivation to the Great Perfection Profound Elixir Realm, the white-haired elder passed away.

Wang Ping and Cai Yonglong erected a tombstone for the white-haired elder, their feelings exceptionally complex.

Wang Ping had known the white-haired elder for a month but felt a connection that transcended generations.

As for Cai Yonglong, it went without saying that the white-haired elder’s great kindness made him a second master to him.
