147 – The Emperor’s Legacy! The GOAT!

【With the appearance of the Blazing Fire Emperor Tower, you were naturally attracted by the huge commotion it caused and unhesitatingly chose to head to its location.】

【You all knew the origins of the Blazing Fire Emperor Tower because it appears every time the secret realm opens. However, no one has ever passed the final trial of the Blazing Fire Emperor Tower and cleared its hundred layers.】

【According to legend, the Blazing Fire Emperor Tower is the life-bound Emperor Weapon of the Blaze Emperor. It holds many secrets and is extraordinarily powerful. It is also said that only by passing the hundred-layer trial can one obtain the Blaze Emperor’s legacy.】

【Thinking of the various legends about the Blazing Fire Emperor Tower, your hearts were all stirred, wanting to challenge the tower to see how many floors you could clear. Even if you couldn’t obtain the legacy, it was a rare opportunity to compete with countless talents across the ages.】

【When you arrived at the Blazing Fire Emperor Tower, many young talents were already there, filling the skies and land. There were also many ordinary Life and Death Realm cultivators who had come just to watch the excitement, wanting to see who in the current Purple Spirit Realm could claim supremacy and become the true first among their peers. As for attempting the tower to get the legacy, that had never crossed their minds, nor did they have the qualifications.】

【Among them, many believed you were the number one of the younger generation, unmatched even by the saints of the previous generation or more ancient talents. They couldn’t help but speculate whether you could reach the 100th floor and obtain the Blaze Emperor’s legacy.】

【However, more people believed it was impossible for you to reach the 100th floor because, in the 8000 years since the Blazing Fire Secret Realm appeared, no one had ever reached the top. The strongest person had only reached the 98th floor, and this renowned figure had already become an Emperor 2000 years ago and established their own Holy Land in the Central Plains. They were incredibly powerful.】

【Although you have already shown enough talent and strength, with the potential of an Emperor, having potential and becoming an Emperor are two different things. For ages, many exceptional individuals with talents comparable to yours have failed to become Emperors, often falling halfway or being stuck at the King Realm or quasi-Emperor stage.】

【You didn’t care about the discussions. You just observed the Blazing Fire Emperor Tower, feeling the terrifying power it contained, and marveled at it.】

【Not long after, Ye Chen appeared and greeted you. You noticed Ye Chen’s gains were also remarkable, his aura significantly stronger, and you sensed the presence of Earthly Fiery Blaze from him.】

【However, you remained confident, believing that if you were to fight, Ye Chen would still not be your match and would still be easily suppressed by you.】

【Soon, some people started challenging the tower, including Saint-level figures. You and the others stood by, watched, and had no intention of being the first to challenge, wanting to see how far these people could go.】

【Soon, you made a judgment: the trials of the Blazing Fire Emperor Tower were indeed difficult. Even those who claimed to stand shoulder to shoulder with Ji Bingyue managed to only reach the 95th floor, unable to progress further.】

【Ji Bingyue also chose to challenge the tower but could only reach the 96th floor. As for Cai Yonglong, he barely reached the 90th floor but couldn’t get past its trial.】

【Next, you and Ye Chen also decided to challenge the tower, which attracted much attention. After all, you and Ye Chen had done many things in this secret realm, defeating various enemies and gaining great fame. Everyone believed you two were the strongest. At least within the Blazing Fire Secret Realm, where cultivation had to be suppressed to the Life and Death Realm, you two were the strongest.】

【Soon, you and Ye Chen easily passed the 95th floor, astonishing many with your speed far surpassing other talents.】

【Quickly thereafter, you passed the 96th floor, leaving countless people in awe and admiration. When reaching the 97th floor, Ye Chen’s speed slowed down, but yours did not, as you continued to ascend effortlessly.】

【Under everyone’s shocked gaze, as Ye Chen reached the 98th floor, you already arrived at the 99th floor.】

【This left many hearts unsettled, as this had broken history, surpassing the record set by that past Emperor. They were greatly curious whether you could pass the 99th floor and reach the 100th.】

【Finally, you succeeded, passing the 99th floor and reaching the 100th, completely breaking the historical record. Countless people were shocked and envious, believing you were likely to obtain the Blaze Emperor’s legacy. This was an event that could influence the entire Purple Spirit Realm.】

【When you arrived at the 100th floor, you discovered there was no trial but an apparition. You judged that this apparition was likely a remnant thought left by the Blaze Emperor.】

【The Blaze Emperor’s remnant thought expressed admiration for your strength and talent, lamenting that even in his youth, he could not compare to you. Unfortunately, you were not suitable to receive his legacy. Comparatively, Ye Chen, though not as strong, was the best fit for the legacy.】
【In this regard, you feel helpless, knowing that you have no fate with the Blaze Emperor’s inheritance. This inheritance, after all, is meant for Ye Chen.】

【Seeing your disappointment, the remnant will of the Blaze Emperor chuckles, stating that reaching this point was not easy for you, and the Blazing Fire Tower always rewards those who perform well in trials. Though it won’t give you the inheritance, it will still reward you with something valuable.】

【The Blaze Emperor’s words leave you anticipating. Then, the Blaze Emperor gives you the rewards. Thus, you receive three King Weapons, a fire spirit puppet with quasi-King combat power, and a large amount of resources.】

【Although you still regret not obtaining the inheritance, you are not disappointed. This has been a fruitful gain.】

“I knew it would turn out this way. At most, from this Blazing Fire Secret Realm, I can grab some benefits… The inheritance is not bound to me.”

Wang Ping looked at the simulator’s content and couldn’t help but criticize.

He really doesn’t know if Ye Chen can obtain this Blazing Fire Tower… If he can get it, that would be truly wonderful.

“I really won’t believe it. When I become more powerful, let’s see whether it chooses me or Ye Chen. I might even find a way to prevent Ye Chen from entering this secret realm. I don’t care about the cultivation methods, but the King Weapons must be mine.”

Wang Ping couldn’t help but mutter.

Although Ye Chen is more suited for the emperor’s inheritance, it all boils down to his talent not reaching a level that moves the emperor’s remnant will.

If he reaches that level, who is more suitable wouldn’t matter; even if Ye Chen is the child of fortune, the inheritance would still be his.

“Forget it, saying these things is meaningless. If I really want to get this King Weapon, instead of hoping to obtain it in the Life Simulator, I should try a way to refresh it as a reward by touching it.”

Wang Ping shook his head, throwing distracting thoughts out of his mind and continued to gaze at the screen.

【Next, you leave the tower. Ji Bingyue curiously asks if you have obtained the inheritance. You shake your head and say that the Blaze Emperor mentioned the inheritance isn’t suitable for you. This makes Ji Bingyue feel it’s a pity. Clearly, you were the first to clear the trial, yet you didn’t get the inheritance.】

【At this moment, Ye Chen also reaches the hundredth floor, astonishing many people once again. Ye Chen successfully obtains the Blaze Emperor’s inheritance, and the Blazing Fire Tower starts to glow, causing the entire secret realm to tremble. Then, everyone is forcibly teleported outside.】

【As the people inside the secret realm are forcibly teleported out, numerous powerful figures waiting outside are alerted and inquire about the situation. When they learn that both you and Ye Chen reached the hundredth floor, they are immensely shocked.】

【Especially when they learn that Ye Chen possibly got the inheritance, they are even more astonished, envying the Heavenly Sword Holy Land. Many forces’ thoughts become active. An emperor’s inheritance is no trivial matter; it can significantly enhance the foundation of a holy land! Be it the emperor’s cultivation methods, divine abilities, secret techniques, or accumulated resources, all can drive people crazy.】

【Many holy lands do not wish for the Heavenly Sword Holy Land to enjoy the inheritance alone and want a share. This situation makes the quasi-emperor ancestor of the Heavenly Sword Holy Land very solemn. Although the Heavenly Sword Holy Land is strong, it is still only ranked in the top ten holy lands and cannot block all the other holy lands alone… Not to mention, some of those holy lands are even stronger than the Heavenly Sword Holy Land.】

【Just when the atmosphere is getting tense, your master, the Sky Emperor, appears, and with him come other emperors. This shocks many people, including you. To see emperors, who are usually rare, appear one after another is truly astonishing.】

【However, it can only be said that regarding an emperor’s inheritance, it is indeed significant to the holy lands. Even emperors must intervene; otherwise, the Heavenly Sword Holy Land cannot take away this inheritance.】

【But, you can’t help but wonder, Ye Chen hasn’t come out yet and hasn’t received the inheritance… How will this be divided?】
【However, how the emperors distribute benefits is not something you can meddle in. In the end, you have no idea what happened, and the various major forces leave one after another. You are also brought back to the Heavenly Sword Holy Land.】

【Upon your return to the Heavenly Sword Holy Land, you curiously ask Sky Emperor about the resolution of affairs. Sky Emperor simply shakes his head and says that it’s the old rule: rope in a group to share the cake, the Heavenly Sword Holy Land takes the biggest piece, while others take the leftovers.】

【You sigh internally. Even a Holy Land cannot monopolize such great benefits unless it truly stands above others, making them dare not covet what it holds.】

【Meanwhile, you think of Ye Chen. Even though he inherited a legacy, many things are beyond his control—a consequence of insufficient strength. Even gaining an emperor’s legacy, he can’t fully control it himself.】

【Next, to verify your combat power level, you engage in a fight with the third holy son, whose cultivation is in the second level of the Life and Death Realm. After an intense battle, you successfully defeat the third holy son, surpassing your level. This astonishes the powerful spectators, who can only marvel at your terrifying strength, remarking that it’s no surprise given your ascent in the Blaze Emperor Tower.】

【After defeating the third holy son, you are very pleased because you have finally verified your combat prowess. As you predicted, you can defeat a holy son-level figure of the Life and Death Realm across levels.】

【However, compared to your excitement and the shock of the many powerful beings in the Heavenly Sword Holy Land and Ji Bingyue, the third holy son is somewhat withdrawn. As a holy son, being defeated despite a large level advantage is rather humiliating.】

【In the blink of an eye, a year passes. During this year, you remain in seclusion, no longer suppressing your cultivation, preparing to break through to the Life and Death Realm in a perfect state. Ultimately, you smoothly break through to the Life and Death Realm, not just reaching the first level but directly attaining the second level.】

【Although enduring the ordeal of crossing two intense trials of death at once leaves you in a disheveled state, you manage to pull through, resulting in a qualitative transformation of your strength.】

【As for Ye Chen, he also returns to the Heavenly Sword Holy Land this year. However, due to the restrictions placed by the Blaze Emperor on the techniques and Divine Abilities he inherited, he cannot share them.】

【Clearly, the Blaze Emperor foresaw what might happen and set up safeguards, preventing the major Holy Lands from making any claims. Regarding other resources and the Blaze Emperor Tower, Ye Chen insists he did not receive these, and with the Heavenly Sword Holy Land choosing to protect him, the other Holy Lands have no recourse.】

【Ultimately, matters concerning the Blaze Emperor’s legacy are left unresolved. The reasons are twofold: fear of the massive impact of a great Holy Land war and the current instability in the Purple Spirit Realm—not only from the threat of the primarily Nine Nether Demon Sect but also from the potential emergence of the ‘Emperor of Judgement’ and the threat of invasion from the blood demon race.】

【Thus, under so many factors, an emperor’s legacy is insufficient to provoke war among the major Holy Lands, which would only benefit external enemies. Naturally, if techniques, Divine Abilities, and secret techniques could be replicated, the major Holy Lands would still exert some pressure on the Heavenly Sword Holy Land to negotiate.】

“Even the Holy Land has its difficulties… this world is indeed harsh.”

Wang Ping sighed as he looked at the simulated content.

Even the mighty Heavenly Sword Holy Land cannot monopolize resources.

Perhaps only the erstory of the Emperor of Judgement’s Holy Land at its peak could ward off all covetous eyes.

Because the Emperor of Judgement stood above other emperors, having taken that half-step further, he was far stronger than others.】

【Suddenly, three more years pass. Ye Chen, Ji Bingyue, and Cai Yonglong successively break through to the Life and Death Realm. Meanwhile, you stay in seclusion, striving to improve your cultivation and hoping to comprehend either your pseudo-king-level Divine Ability or the embryonic form of a Dominion.】

【Soon, you and Ji Bingyue become Dao companions, envied by countless people. After your grand wedding, it’s time for the Holy Sons competition between the Holy Lands of the Eastern Wilderness.】

【In the competition arena, the third holy son from the Heavenly Thunder Holy Land challenges you. Haunted by the defeat in the Blazing Fire Secret Realm, his Dao heart is unstable.】

【Thus, the third holy son from the Heavenly Thunder Holy Land seeks to stabilize his Dao heart by fighting you again. You accept the challenge. Despite the third holy son’s increased cultivation to the fourth level of the Life and Death Realm and significantly enhanced combat power, you still easily defeat him, like autumn leaves swept away by the wind.】

【This battle shocks the Eastern Wilderness, and people can only marvel at your consistent strength. To easily crush a holy son-level figure at the fourth level of the Life and Death Realm while being at the second level yourself is truly formidable.】
Next, another person wanted to battle with you, it was the Second Sacred Son of the Heavenly Thunder Holy Land. With cultivation at the Life and Death Realm Sixth Level, he was much stronger than the Third Sacred Son of the Heavenly Thunder Holy Land.

You still remained fearless and chose to fight. Then, taking the fight seriously, you defeated him. In this battle, you revealed that you had mastered a king-level Divine Ability, astonishing countless people.

The First Sacred Maiden of the Heavenly Thunder Holy Land couldn’t sit still anymore. She felt that the Holy Land had lost too much face and wanted to come out and salvage the situation. However, she was directly stopped by the Holy Lord of the Heavenly Thunder Holy Land. Although her cultivation was much stronger, reaching the Life and Death Realm Seventh Level, the Holy Lord of the Heavenly Thunder Holy Land felt it was still not secure enough.

As a quasi-Emperor, he could naturally see that you still had more powerful cards hidden. Even for characters at the Life and Death Realm Seventh Level, it would be difficult to beat you.

Of course, this was also because the talent and heritage of other Sacred Son-level figures weren’t as great as yours. Otherwise, they would still be able to fight you.

However, since they had lost face, they still needed to reclaim it. Hence, the Holy Lord of the Heavenly Thunder Holy Land brought out a truly monstrous figure. All major Holy Lands have offspring of Emperors whose talents surpass the apparent Sacred Sons, receiving full cultivation support from the Holy Land, and have condensed the Flawless Profound Elixir and perfect Yin-Yang Diagrams.

Furthermore, because they are descendants of Emperors, they are most suited to practice the Emperor’s cultivation techniques and Divine Abilities. While they might not necessarily master them, even if they do, they could usually only exert a fraction of their powers, but that fraction is still immensely powerful.

The Holy Lord of the Heavenly Thunder Holy Land brought out a direct descendant of the Thunder Emperor who had successfully mastered an Emperor-level cultivation technique. This made the Holy Lords of various Holy Lands sigh with admiration, confirming that indeed it was a golden era where the true monstrous figures were making their appearance.

Next, you had a battle with the direct descendant of the Thunder Emperor. The descendant of the Thunder Emperor had cultivation far surpassing yours, reaching the Life and Death Realm Seventh Level, but he was too proud to use his cultivation to suppress you. He chose to suppress his cultivation to the same Life and Death Realm Second Level as yours.

You both exploded into a fierce battle. Undoubtedly, this was the strongest opponent you had encountered, giving you immense pressure. Relying solely on king-level cultivation techniques and Divine Abilities, you were not his match. Therefore, you revealed your true trump card and used the power of the Purple Spirit Illusion Flame for the first time.

The appearance of the Purple Spirit Illusion Flame shocked all crowds. With it, you managed to counterattack and defeat the direct descendant of the Thunder Emperor, earning the admiration and submission of the many Sacred Son-level figures, who also realized the great disparity between them and you, sighing in their hearts.

The direct descendant of the Thunder Emperor, unwilling to accept his loss, did not unseal his cultivation to reclaim his stance, but stated that next time he surely would defeat you, even with your Purple Spirit Illusion Flame.

You admired his bearing and did not say anything pretentious, merely agreeing to battle next time.

After several grand fights and stealing the spotlight, others also began to engage in battles. Ye Chen also emerged in glory, his performance, though not as outstanding as yours, was still remarkable, making countless people exclaim, recognizing him as the successor of the Blaze Emperor.

You knew clearly that Ye Chen likely had not yet successfully cultivated Emperor-level techniques and Divine Abilities; if he did, his strength would transform qualitatively. At that time, even you might not be able to overpower him.

Ji Bingyue participated as well. To your surprise, Ji Bingyue’s performance was extraordinarily impressive, on par with Ye Chen. She had secretly mastered the Emperor-level technique of the Ice Empress. With such a technique, her battle strength skyrocketed to astonishing levels, defeating various Sacred Sons.

This made other Holy Lands in the Eastern Wilderness envious, feeling that the three monstrous figures of the Heavenly Sword Holy Land were truly abnormal.

In the end, you were the most prominent in this Sacred Son competition, followed by Ye Chen, Ji Bingyue, and the descendants of various Emperors. Sacred Son-level figures were now pushed to the second line. Cai Yonglong was among them, somewhat lacking presence.

“What a guy, this simulated Wang Ping is becoming more and more pretentious, showing off everywhere.”

Wang Ping looked at the simulation content with a very subtle expression.

In these simulations, the simulated Wang Ping was becoming more pretentious each time.

Now, he had even shown off to the direct descendants of those Emperors.
Even the direct descendants of Emperors who have cultivated emperor-level techniques and divine abilities are no match, it’s truly terrifying.

However, this further underscores the power of the Purple Spirit Illusion Flame, directly making him an exceptional level existence in the same realm.

Additionally, the adaptability of the Primordial Spirit Technique lessens the advantages of emperor-level techniques.

Although the Primordial Spirit Technique is at the king level, it suits him best. Compared to emperor-level techniques which can’t fully exert their power, it doesn’t fall far behind.

‘I wonder, in this simulation, what level Wang Ping can ultimately reach…’ Wang Ping thought again, full of anticipation, continuing to gaze at the screen.

【Time flows, a hundred years have passed, your cultivation has reached the fifth level of the Life and Death Realm. You recall Bai Tianhong’s situation, thinking it’s time to bring him away from the Profound Turtle Continent.】

【Previously, you couldn’t protect him. If Bai Tianhong was taken away by the white-haired old woman, both she and Bai Ya, the descendant of the Emperor of Judgement, would be manipulated to death. But now, as long as you tell your master, the Sky Emperor, he would be very willing to bring Bai Tianhong into the Heavenly Sword Holy Land and protect him.】

【Although due to the curse, Bai Tianhong’s cultivation couldn’t exceed the Profound Elixir Realm, once it did, the curse would erupt. However, staying in the Heavenly Sword Holy Land, even with low cultivation, he could still enjoy a lifetime of prosperity.】

【Soon, you took action, left the Heavenly Sword Holy Land, and headed to the Profound Turtle Continent. On the way, you were ambushed by the Nine Nether Demon Sect’s second and third demons.】

【As for the old monsters of the Nine Nether Demon Sect, they were stopped by the protectors of the Heavenly Sword Holy Land secretly following you.】

【In the end, you fought two against one, battling the second and third demons of the Nine Nether Demon Sect. With your fifth-level Life and Death Realm cultivation, you forcibly killed the second demon at the eighth level and the third demon at the seventh level. The old monsters of the Nine Nether Demon Sect retreated.】

【This battle shocked the Purple Spirit Realm. Whether it was the prodigies of the same generation or the powers of various major forces, they were all amazed by your strength. Especially the Life and Death Realm powerhouses from various Eastern Wilderness countries, who all smiled bitterly, realizing that they, these old antiques, have been completely surpassed by you youngsters.】

【Even the Nirvana Realm powerhouses sighed deeply, feeling that being surpassed by you was only a matter of time. Perhaps it wouldn’t take a few hundred years for them to face the embarrassing situation of being surpassed and defeated by you, becoming mere backdrops for your fame.】

【After this, your journey was smooth, without further attacks from the Nine Nether Demon Sect. You were unsure what the transmigrator senior known as the Nine Nether Demon Emperor was thinking.】

【However, with the Sky Emperor as your master, you weren’t too worried. As long as the Nine Nether Demon Emperor appeared, your master, the Sky Emperor, would also appear to intercept him.】

【In addition, other Emperors would also join in to righteously gang up on him, because with chaos imminent, the major Holy Lands were very eager to capture the Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao and his Nine Nether Demon Sect higher-ups, cleaning out these unstable elements within the Purple Spirit Realm.】

【Therefore, if the Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao, the transmigrator senior, appeared, he would definitely be besieged, and you would be happy to see it. Because the Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao was your arch-enemy, you actually wished for this ‘good senior’ to die quickly to spare you from constantly being on edge whenever you went out.】

【After arriving at the Profound Turtle Continent, you left some legacies behind once more and then took Bai Tianhong away.】

【Bai Tianhong was completely left behind. Now, all of you have become Holy Sons, except for Bai Tianhong, who was left on the Profound Turtle Continent and still only has Transcendent Realm cultivation, which was thanks to the legacies and resources you left. Otherwise, he would have been stuck at the Spirit Origin Realm.】

【In the blink of an eye, another three hundred years passed. During these three hundred years, the Purple Spirit Realm saw rising storms and continuous conflicts, with various prodigies emerging. Among them, you remained one of the most dazzling.】

【In just over three hundred years, your cultivation advanced to the Half-Step Nirvana Realm, only one step away from the Nirvana Realm. At the same time, you successfully refined a top-grade Divine Ability into a pseudo-king-level Divine Ability, and learned the emperor-level Divine Ability ‘Sky Sword Art’ from your master.】

【In terms of dominion, your insights were profound, believing that with more time, you could successfully comprehend and form your own nascent dominion.】
