161 – Optimizing the Simulator! The First Purple Talent!

In an instant, the saber energy and sword energy collided, causing the space to shatter like glass, forming a terrifying spatial turbulence.

However, this collision left neither side with an advantage, as their attacks cancelled each other out.

“Huh?”

Brother Dao’s pupils contracted, showing a look of surprise.

Wang Ping’s aura was clearly inferior, yet he could neutralize his attack.

This indicated one thing.

This junior was the kind of prodigy capable of battling those above his level.

“Interesting. Your power system seems to come from the power system of Chu Xiao’s world. Your cultivation appears to have reached the Great Perfection Nirvana Realm. Logically, the Great Perfection Nirvana Realm should be far weaker than my King Realm, yet you can directly confront me.”

Brother Dao raised his saber, pointing it at Wang Ping with great interest.

“This implies that you are indeed a genius capable of battling above your level. I’m curious, to have grown this far, you must have had some fortuitous encounters and inheritances. But why hasn’t Chu noticed you? Or is it that you come from a different plane?”

“You talk too much.”

Wang Ping said coldly, flipping his sword as purple flames began to envelop it, directly activating his Divine Ability.

“Divine Ability: Devour Space!”

A powerful divine ability erupted, twisting the space around Brother Dao, sealing and devouring the space around him.

At the same time, the purple flame-like sword energy burst forth, slashing directly at Brother Dao.

“A spatial divine ability, and an illusion too?”

Brother Dao sensed the anomalous situation around him, noticing that the scene before him had suddenly changed, and his perception was distorted.

“Such a potent divine ability… I must admit, you truly have the strength to contend with beings of the King Realm from your world. But with this level, trying to kill me… you’re far from it.”

Brother Dao snorted coldly, unleashing a torrent of saber energy from within, with anomalous saber patterns surfacing around him, as his pitch-black saber emitted an ominous glow.

Then, with one slash, he shattered everything around him.

Be it space, the Purple Spirit Illusion Flame, or the sword energy, all were obliterated by his saber.

This power was not showy; it was purely overwhelming.

“Kid, show me what else you’ve got. As your senior, I’ll take it on one by one.”

Brother Dao sneered, turning into a ray of black light as he charged at Wang Ping, slashing at him with his saber.

Under his saber’s path, the space tore apart like paper, and the resulting energy wreaked havoc on Earth.

Wang Ping’s expression remained stern, saying nothing more as he used another hidden card.

The Five Elements Dominion instantly expanded, enveloping Brother Dao.

“Oh? A dominion?”

Brother Dao’s body halted, with his powerful saber energy getting crushed by the dominion.

This left him astonished.

“Haha, you really are eye-opening… A junior at the Great Perfection Nirvana Realm, comprehending a true dominion… But so what? A dominion can’t trap me.”

Brother Dao laughed maniacally, his body vibrating as the saber patterns on him grew denser, his aura continuously rising.

Meanwhile, his evil saber emitted an even more anomalous glow, tearing a corner of the dominion and creating an opening.

This rendered the dominion’s suppression ineffective on him.

“Kill!”

Brother Dao shouted, charging at Wang Ping once again.

Wang Ping’s face was serious, unwilling to be outdone, as he met Brother Dao’s assault with his sword.

Thankfully, Wang Ping had expanded the dominion, with their battle confined within it.

Otherwise, the aftermath of a battle at the King Realm level could tear Earth into pieces, turning it into scattered debris in the cosmos.

On the other side, the golden monkey was battling the beast controlled by the God-level Beastmaster, the highest commander of the Beastmaster Alliance.

From time to time, he glanced in the direction of Wang Ping and Brother Dao, feeling both shocked and increasingly grateful.

He hadn’t expected that Wang Ping, a junior transmigrator, had hidden his strength so deep, capable of directly confronting Brother Dao.

With such power, if he had ever schemed against Wang Ping, he would surely end up dead, delivering his head on a platter.

The God-level Beastmaster and his beast shared the same fear.

Wang Ping and Brother Dao’s power was too overwhelming, making them realize their insignificance.

In front of those two, even a God-level Beastmaster was no more than a bug that could be crushed at any moment.

As for Wu Jun, Liu Mei, Chen Kang, and Chen Si, they were equally stunned.

They were too weak to grasp the battle’s details, but they could infer the fight’s intensity and the terror of both fighters’ power from the devastated state of Earth.

After all, this was no ordinary Earth—it had grown several times larger!

Not long after, Wang Ping’s voice echoed in Chen Si and Chen Kang’s minds, instructing them to act.

He also signaled Liu Mei to see if she could use her Charm on the golden monkey.

Chen Si and Chen Kang exchanged glances, then without hesitation, started using their Golden Finger abilities as Wang Ping had instructed.
As Chen Si activated his abilities, Brother Dao felt his strength forcibly reduced by half.

This sudden change made Brother Dao’s complexion change dramatically, and he was instantly cut in half by Wang Ping’s sword.

However, Brother Dao also had a restoration-type divine ability, and forcibly restored his body, intending to temporarily avoid the fight.

But Wang Ping wouldn’t let him have his way. Chen Kang’s ability activated once again, causing Brother Dao’s expression to freeze.

Because his body was imprisoned, completely unable to move.

“Damn it, how does this kid have so many anomalous abilities, is he going to hack me to pieces alive?!”

Brother Dao cursed Wang Ping in his heart.

At the same time, not knowing where Wang Ping got so many anomalous abilities, Brother Dao could only grittingly pull out a trump card.

A black bead suddenly floated out from his forehead, emitting a strange light, giving off a very dangerous feeling.

Wang Ping’s pupils contracted, and without hesitation, he summoned the Blaze Emperor Tower to block in front of him.

The next moment, the black bead collided with the Blaze Emperor Tower, and terrifying power poured out, tearing Wang Ping’s dominion apart.

Without the protection of the dominion, Earth would definitely explode if struck by the stray energy.

After all, this far surpassed the power of an ordinary king.

Because of this, Wang Ping manipulated the Blaze Emperor Tower, using its power to shield Earth from exploding.

Otherwise, Wu Jun and the others would all die.

At that moment, Wang Ping noticed Brother Dao’s presence disappearing with the chaotic space currents.

“Did he escape? I’ll kill you next time we meet.”

Wang Ping’s eyes flashed as he snorted coldly, looking very dissatisfied.

“Wang Ping, during your fight with him just now, were you holding back? It seemed like you engaged in some kind of negotiation with him?”

Alpha’s voice rang out.

“Was I? I was always wary of his trump card, how could that be considered holding back? Also, didn’t you see me use the Blaze Emperor Tower but still not kill him? These senior transmigrators are too strong.”

Wang Ping snorted coldly, unsatisfied.

“And you have the nerve to talk about me. If it weren’t for your foolish actions, how could I be at risk of being targeted in the Purple Spirit Realm. Plus, don’t you know what’s in my mind? Aren’t you always listening to my thoughts?”

“Sorry, it’s my fault.”

Alpha fell silent, knowing he was wrong, and could only choose to apologize.

“Seeing your sincere attitude, I forgive you. Remember your words, don’t do foolish things next time. Otherwise, both you and I will die.”

Wang Ping took a deep breath and scolded.

“…Understood.” Alpha said these two words gloomily and chose to go silent.

At this moment, he really didn’t know who the boss was.

Was he really wrong?

Although doing this carried great risks, it was also for the future of the chat group.

After all, if the previous transmigrators were still connected, it would be very dangerous.

“Too lazy to talk to you. Next, after dealing with this guy, let’s head back. I should relocate as well.”

After taking a deep breath, Wang Ping looked towards the golden monkey.

At this moment, the golden monkey also noticed the abnormal situation on Wang Ping’s side and saw the miniature Blaze Emperor Tower floating in Wang Ping’s palm.

“Shit!”

The golden monkey despaired.

Damn, what’s up with this kid? It’s one thing to go toe-to-toe with Brother Dao, but he actually has such a treasure.

This is the end; even Brother Dao ran away, what are the odds that he’ll survive?

His strength was much weaker than the two of them, and he didn’t have those astonishing treasures as trump cards.

“Damn it! Since I’m destined to die, I’ll drag you down with me before I go.”

The golden monkey quickly calmed down, its eyes showing a fierce expression as it charged towards Wang Ping.

He hoped Wang Ping would use the Blaze Emperor Tower to kill him.

If that happened, Wang Ping would suffer an equivalent backlash from the power, so there’s hope to take him down.

Wang Ping saw through the golden monkey’s thoughts and sneered, using the Blaze Emperor Tower to smash him as he wished.

Seeing this, the golden monkey was overjoyed, and a black hamster emerged from his fur, its eyes glowing red as if it was using an ability.

“Liu Mei!”

At this moment, Wang Ping suddenly retracted the Blaze Emperor Tower, placing Liu Mei in front, and shouted.

Liu Mei quickly responded, adjusted her beauty to the highest value, and used her Charm ability.

As Liu Mei used her ability, the black hamster froze, and its ability also stopped, flying towards Liu Mei.

As for the golden monkey, it also froze, looking at Liu Mei with a love-struck expression, clearly charmed by her.

However, despite Liu Mei’s powerful Charm ability, the difference in strength between her and the golden monkey was too great, at most she could only charm him for a few seconds.
For people like Brother Dao and Wang Ping with such strength, it’s even more useless.

Of course, this is relative; in fact, her abilities are already quite terrifying.

Wang Ping didn’t say much and directly slapped the golden monkey to death.

As Wang Ping killed the golden monkey, the system prompt from the chat group rang in his ear.

“Ding, congratulations on successfully killing the transmigrator golden monkey. You have completed the chat group task and received a reward of ten million group points.”

“Heh, ten million…”

Wang Ping curled his lips, showing no joy at all.

A mere ten million group points, completely mismatched with the difficulty of this task.

An uncommon king-level combat power, a Nirvana Realm, and also two veteran transmigrators; this difficulty is worth only ten million, truly laughable.

“Ding, you have received an additional reward of ten million group points.”

At this time, the system’s voice rang again, making Wang Ping’s eyes flicker, but he didn’t say much.

Obviously, this was Alpha’s compensation.

“Brother Wang, we completed the group task! I got a reward of three hundred thousand group points! I did nothing, and I got three hundred thousand group points. It’s awesome.”

Wu Jun said excitedly.

“We got a bit more, around eight hundred thousand each.” Chen Si and Chen Kang said happily.

“I got a little less, four hundred thousand.” Liu Mei also said.

“Hmm, as long as there’s a harvest, let’s go back. There’s no need to stay in this world.”

Wang Ping took a deep breath and said.

He now had to quickly go back and relocate; he didn’t even want the compensation from Black Source Country.

“Brother Wang, what about Wu Yueming?”

Liu Mei, being more thoughtful, brought up Wu Yueming.

“We’ll see.”

Wang Ping paused for a moment and said.

Since those ‘transmigrator seniors’ know that there are ‘transmigrator juniors’ in this world, they will definitely keep a close eye on this world.

In other words, unless Wu Yueming flees to another world, he will be in trouble sooner or later.

However, if he flees to another world, his Golden Finger will be considered useless.

“No rush. If other transmigrators appear, Alpha will sense it in advance. By then, it won’t be too late to let him transfer. For now, let him quickly become stronger in this world; he might not have much time left.”

After thinking for a bit, Wang Ping added.

Hearing this, the expressions of Liu Mei and others turned serious, and their hearts filled with worry.

These transmigrators, calling them transmigrator juniors, are obviously not simple.

Brother Wang clearly knows something but hasn’t shared it with them.

If their world encounters such a situation in the future, it would be troublesome.

Wang Ping scanned the crowd and could see that they had guessed something but didn’t want to explain further. After nodding to the god-level Beastmaster, he turned into a white light and disappeared.

For now, it was not the time to explain things to the chat group members.

After all, he hadn’t entirely figured out how to proceed in the future himself, and could only take it step by step.

What they needed wasn’t worry or plans, but strength.

Only with powerful strength can they break free from their predicament.

As Wang Ping returned, Wu Jun and the others also followed suit.

Then, the chat group became lively as everyone started discussing the task, making everyone’s hearts tremble and commencing a discussion.

In the Purple Spirit Realm where Wang Ping resided, Wang Ping immediately began his relocation upon returning.

At the same time, in the Nine Nether Demon Sect, the Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao also saw a private chat message from Brother Dao.

“That is the Blazing Fire Tower, the life Emperor Weapon of the Blaze Emperor. It seems that the world where this transmigrator junior crossed into is the Purple Spirit Realm, where I reside… truly fated.”

Red light flickered in Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao’s eyes as he coldly laughed.

“However, since he has already grown to this level and obtained the Blazing Fire Tower without making a name for himself, it seems he has always been cautious of me.”

“Brother Chu, if possible, do not kill him. In battle, he hinted at a willingness to cooperate through his divine abilities. Of course, I’m not sure if it’s just an illusion.”

Brother Dao’s private message appeared again.

“Heh, he indeed seems suspicious of letting you go. From his performance combined with the power of the Emperor Weapon, his success rate of killing you should be two to three-tenths, but he didn’t, which makes his actions questionable. Of course, it’s also possible he didn’t want to risk his life for Alpha.”

The Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao shook the jade cup in his hand and calmly said.

“Ultimately, anyone willing to risk their life for Alpha in that chat group is a fool. I don’t think a ‘transmigrator junior’ who has grown to this level without being detected by me is an idiot.”

Thinking like this, he can only use this vague way to express his thoughts. The twice-destroyed Alpha would definitely be monitoring the psychological activities of the chat group members at all times.”

Brother Dao found it very reasonable and confirmed again in his heart that it was not an illusion.

“He is cautious; even if he truly has that intention, if he confronts us in the future, he can deny it, claiming that we are sowing discord. In this way, compared to us, Alpha will definitely trust the junior whose thoughts are constantly monitored by it.”

The Nine Nether Demon Emperor laughed lightly.
“However, this kid is indeed a talent. I suspect he has a similar approach, deceiving himself. The only difference is that he is likely under stronger surveillance, making his methods seem more unique. Otherwise, Alpha, having learned from experience, couldn’t possibly miss it.”

Brother Dao chuckled.

“Of course, it could also be that all of this is just our imagination, and he has no such intentions, continuing to willingly serve the chat group like a lackey.”

“If he indeed harbors such intentions, I might consider sparing him, provided he isn’t a threat to me. Otherwise, no matter his thoughts, I will kill him.”

Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao spoke coldly.

“Naturally,” Brother Dao nodded in agreement. “Among us veterans, real mutual trust is impossible, let alone for these ‘juniors’ who haven’t clearly chosen sides.”

“Indeed.” Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao nodded, squinting slightly without saying more.

Soon after, the entire Nine Nether Demon Sect began mobilizing to search for traces of Wang Ping.

Meanwhile, Wang Ping had arrived at Heavenly Sword Sacred City, finally letting out a sigh of relief.

In Heavenly Sword Sacred City, as long as he kept a low profile, no one would notice anything amiss.

Even if Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao miraculously found his location, as long as Chu Xiao didn’t personally make a move, Wang Ping wouldn’t be afraid.

If Chu Xiao did come in person, though, he might be abruptly killed once, but the Sky Emperor would definitely sense it immediately and arrive.

Even if the Sky Emperor couldn’t stop it, he could buy Wang Ping enough time. After resurrecting, Wang Ping could easily escape to another world, avoiding a second death.

After settling in Heavenly Sword Sacred City, Wang Ping opened the chat group page, used a 90% off coupon and millions of group points to purchase the Golden Finger Optimizer.

Upon purchasing the Golden Finger Optimizer, a faint golden glow appeared in Wang Ping’s palm, and the sound of the System rang out.

“Ding… Do you wish to optimize your Golden Finger now?”

“Optimize.”

Wang Ping responded without hesitation.

Upon speaking, he felt the golden glow merge into his body.

“Ding… Your exclusive Golden Finger ‘Life Simulator’ has been successfully optimized. Please review the specific functions carefully.”

Following that, the System’s voice rang out again, and a pale blue screen appeared before Wang Ping.

Wang Ping looked over excitedly.

Life Simulator:

Function 1: The text-based simulation has been upgraded to an immersive simulation, allowing the host to experience the events as if living them.

Function 2: Fast-Forward function. During simulations, if the host finds certain developments unimportant, they can selectively fast-forward. Text will appear during this time, and the scenes will be condensed into a rapid sequence in the host’s mind.

Function 3: The talent refreshing mechanism of the Life Simulator has been updated. From now on, it can refresh talents of red grade and above.

Function 4: The reward mechanism of the Life Simulator has changed. Now, anything that appears in the simulation can potentially be refreshed without needing to be touched. The host can also choose to abandon all rewards from the current simulation.

Friendly Reminder: All bugs in the Life Simulator have been fixed. Future rewards will no longer contain traps or replicated soul fragments that manifest in the real world. Please be at ease.

“The optimized Life Simulator is truly impressive, addressing all the hidden dangers as I hoped!”

Wang Ping nodded in satisfaction.

With an immersive simulation, he no longer needed to worry about being backstabbed by the simulated Wang Ping, as he would drive the story himself instead of creating a new simulated Wang Ping.

Additionally, the fast-forward function was quite excellent.

This way, he wouldn’t need to spend thousands or tens of thousands of years cultivating repetitively, which was too monotonous.

After all, experiencing it once was fine, but repeated simulations with repetitive actions would become tiresome.

Especially with such long time spans, it would be even more boring.

“However, what surprises me most is Function 3. I had wondered why, despite getting many red talents, I couldn’t refresh a purple talent. Turns out it was because the previous Golden Finger’s grade was too low, making it impossible to refresh purple talents before optimization! Thinking back, before the first optimization, even blue talents never appeared, let alone red talents.”

Wang Ping sighed at Function 3, somewhat helplessly.

In this world, everything requires some kind of currency…

It’s just that the necessary ‘currency’ differs…

“System, will the cost of simulation change now?”

Wang Ping asked, calming his mind.

“No.”

The System’s voice sounded.

“Good.” Wang Ping nodded. “Then I wish to conduct a Paid Simulation.”

“Ding… Payment successful. Life Simulator is starting, talent refreshing.”

The System’s voice echoed.

“Ding… Talent refresh complete. Congratulations to the host for refreshing the following talents: Purple Talent – Divine Comprehension; Red Talent – Battle Soul Enchantment; Blue Talent – Moon Song; Green Talent – Finger Technique Prodigy.”

Purple Talent – Divine Comprehension: With this talent, the host’s comprehension ability elevates significantly to a god-like level, making it easy to grasp numerous cultivation mysteries.

Red Talent – Battle Soul Enchantment: With this talent, the host can condense their combat will to enchant weapons, unleashing terrifying power.

Blue Talent – Moon Song: With this talent, singing under the moonlight will enhance the host’s combat power.

Green Talent – Finger Technique Prodigy: With this talent, the host gains exceptional aptitude in finger techniques.

“Holy! A purple talent!”

Even with his current composure, Wang Ping was stunned to see the talents refreshed this time.
There was nothing he could do; despite many simulations, he had never refreshed a purple talent.

Now, he directly refreshed a purple talent!
Moreover, this is a single-enhancement talent focusing on comprehension. One can imagine how strong the improvement in comprehension will be with this purple talent.

Not to mention, this time he refreshed not only a purple talent but a red talent as well.

The red talent ‘Battle Soul Enchantment’ is a brand new red talent, also an augmentation type, but it enhances weapon strength and is certainly formidable.

However, the previously radiant red talent now seemed pale in comparison to the purple talent.

As for the blue and green talents, Wang Ping didn’t even glance at them, feeling utterly disdainful.

“System, I choose the purple talent ‘Enlightenment to Divinity’!”

Wang Ping said with great joy and anticipation in his heart.

‘God’ is a weighty word, a level pursued by countless Emperors.

Enlightenment to Divinity, let’s see if this comprehension is truly as impressive as it sounds.

As for the red talent, though somewhat of a pity, it had to be abandoned now.

After all, he couldn’t choose two talents simultaneously.

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

The familiar voice of the System sounded.

Immediately, Wang Ping felt his consciousness shake, as if something had changed.

But when he looked at his hand, it seemed as if nothing had changed.

“Now, this should be the false world created by the Life Simulator… Immersive simulation, truly fascinating.”

Wang Ping looked at his hand, mobilizing the power within him, and sighed.

“System, use the fast-forward function.”

Wang Ping exhaled lightly and said without hesitation.

“Ding, fast-forwarding.”

As the System’s voice sounded, a familiar screen appeared in front of Wang Ping, and text followed.

【On the first day, you knew that your upcoming situation would not be good, so you practiced diligently, wanting to become stronger quickly.】

【In the blink of an eye, a year passed. Due to your astonishing comprehension, you easily mastered the Small Completion Space Domain and the Small Completion Sword Domain. Meanwhile, you also had some new thoughts on refining your cultivation technique.】

“???”

Wang Ping looked at the simulation content, silent.

This… is absurd.

One year!
Spending just one year to comprehend the Small Completion Space Domain and the Small Completion Sword Domain.

This was something that previous simulation Wang Ping needed hundreds of years to achieve.

“The gap between red and purple talents is even starker than the gap between dogs and humans.”

Wang Ping couldn’t help but sigh.

【Meanwhile, many things happened in that year. The Nine Nether Demon Sect found out about your activities on the archipelago and guessed that you had come from the Profound Turtle Continent to the archipelago, and then went to the Sword Domain.】

【At the same time, they found out that Cai Yonglong was your companion and had returned to the Profound Turtle Continent.】

【However, though the Nine Nether Demon Emperor uncovered many things and located Cai Yonglong, he did not act personally, for once he moves against the Profound Turtle, the Emperors of the Purple Spirit Realm would sense it and gang up on him.】

【Of course, such a small matter doesn’t warrant his personal intervention. Although there are seals and restrictions on the Profound Turtle, as long as a Nirvana Realm demon cultivator does not go over, it will not disturb the Profound Turtle.】

【In other words, capturing Cai Yonglong alive is very easy. Thus, Cai Yonglong was captured alive by the Nine Nether Demon Sect. Through Cai Yonglong’s memory, they obtained your information. The Nine Nether Demon Sect took it seriously and decided you must be killed.】

【Next, the Nine Nether Demon Emperor attempted to contact you through Cai Yonglong, trying to use him to capture you. However, you foresaw this and discarded anything related to Cai Yonglong on the way to the Heavenly Sword Holy Land. Thus, they could not contact you.】

【Ultimately, the Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao had to send people to search for you, but you hid too well, and the Nine Nether Demon Sect could not find you for the time being. Fearing prolonged efforts would yield disaster, Chu Xiao sought the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, which can deduce heaven’s secrets, to find your location.】

【However, the successor of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion is always upright and never serves the demon clan. Thus, the Nine Nether Demon Emperor faced rejection and, enraged, destroyed the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion. With that, and their millennia-old heritage was completely severed—their dao vanished.】

“Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, how tragic…”

Wang Ping deeply admired the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion’s stance but also lamented their demise.

“I must quickly gain the power to oppose Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao. The time left for me is running out.”

Wang Ping took a deep breath, his heart growing heavier.

All this will happen within a year; otherwise, countless innocents will die because of him, and he will be in danger too.

After all, the simulated Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao could not rely on outside help, but the real Chu Xiao had connections with the transmigrator seniors in the second-generation chat group.

Who knows if he might acquire some astounding secret technique or treasure from other transmigrators to easily find him.

Wang Ping dared not bet, nor could he afford to.

While Wang Ping’s thoughts were swirling, the simulation continued.

【In the blink of an eye, twenty more years passed. You successfully refined your cultivation technique into an Emperor-level technique, making it more complete and capable of accommodating various powers, facilitating easier transitions between them.】

【At the same time, within these twenty years, you successfully mastered the Great Completion Five Elements Domain, Sword Domain, Wind and Thunder Domain, Ice Domain, and many other domains.】

【For you now, improving in the path of domains is as simple as eating and drinking, hardly worth mentioning.】
Next, you did not continue to comprehend dominions and divine abilities. Instead, you chose to find a secluded place to break through to the King Realm. Having accumulated power for so many years, you felt it was time to ascend. Once you become a king, your power will soar again. At that time, you are confident that you can contend with anyone below the quasi-Emperor level…

Soon after, you used the teleportation array of the Ice Palace and headed to the Eternal Frozen Wastes.

You knew very well that breaking through in the Eternal Frozen Wastes was the safest. Because in this place, even Nine Nether Demon Emperor Chu Xiao dared not act recklessly. Once he appeared, he would definitely suffer a fatal blow from the Ice Empress Ji Bingyan.

Your breakthrough to the King Realm triggered a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation. Although you had prepared thoroughly, it still shook the Eternal Frozen Wastes, attracting many powerful beings from the Profound Ice Sect and Ice Poison Gate to watch.

They were astonished by the terror of your Heavenly Tribulation. However, they were even more shocked by your strength. Facing such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation, you effortlessly went through it, eventually even smashing the tribulation apart, causing a resonance with the heavens and earth and finally becoming a king.

Among them, the Grand Elder of the Profound Ice Sect, who claimed to be a disciple of the Ice Empress, the Profound Ice Daoist, had a flicker in his eyes as he stared at you intently.

Meanwhile, the Ice Empress Ji Bingyan, in the center of the Eternal Frozen Wastes, also noticed your tribulation and was very surprised by your talent. As a quasi-immortal, she could see through your background, knowing that you were very young, probably less than a hundred years old.

Less than a hundred years old… becoming a king was truly astonishing. Even she was far from such a feat in her youth. One might say that throughout the history of the Purple Spirit Realm, no one could compare to you.

She became curious about you, intending to invite you over. However, as if sensing something, she chose to continue observing silently.

Meanwhile, you keenly sensed the gaze of the Profound Ice Daoist, frowned slightly, and chose to leave quickly, delving deeper into the Eternal Frozen Wastes.

Seeing you enter deeper into the Eternal Frozen Wastes, the Profound Ice Daoist grew anxious, fearing you would escape, making it hard to find you later. So, he pursued you.

In response, the Grand Elder of the Ice Poison Gate followed suit.

Soon, the three of you, all kings, penetrated deep into the Eternal Frozen Wastes.

The simulation stopped here, the text paused, and various scenes quickly flashed through Wang Ping’s mind.

Scenes of his cultivation as well as other scenes.

Eventually, his vision changed, landing him in the Eternal Frozen Wastes.

Wang Ping felt like he had taken over the body of the ‘simulated Wang Ping.’

At the same time, he sensed the Profound Ice Daoist and Ice Poison Daoist closely following.

“This immersive simulation experience is indeed much better than simple text simulation…”

Feeling the power within his body, Wang Ping sighed inwardly.

Immersive simulation, with various scenes, allowed him to see directly what happened in the simulation.

Even the insights and combat experiences of the simulated Wang Ping were swiftly and gently absorbed by him.

In other words, he also obtained the insights of the simulated Wang Ping.

Even if he did not choose the purple talent ‘Understanding the Divine,’ he could gain insights in terms of enlightenment.

As for cultivation techniques, divine abilities, and dominions, he also had insights.

This benefit was full to the brim.

In the future, he wouldn’t need to choose rewards related to enlightenment.

Of course, if it wasn’t a cultivation technique he had comprehended himself, he probably still had to choose.

“I must say, this purple talent is truly monstrous. Creating Emperor-level cultivation techniques and comprehending so many great dominions took only over twenty years, it’s terrifying…”

Wang Ping sighed again and then looked down, chuckling softly.

Then, Wang Ping calmed himself, stopped flying, turned around, and looked at the two behind him, speaking indifferently: “Fellow Daoists, may I ask your intention in following me?”

This was another advantage of immersive simulation.

In critical plot branches considered important by the Life Simulator, he could choose his actions autonomously.

In other words, in the future, he could always embark on adventures that were impossible in previous text simulations.

In previous simulations, ‘simulated’ Wang Ping cherished his life, so he didn’t dare to take risks.

But from now on, Wang Ping could take risks to gather intelligence and seize greater opportunities.

After all, with the recent optimization, even the reward mechanism had changed. He didn’t need to touch something, as long as it had appeared and he had seen it, it could possibly refresh.

Thus, sometimes taking risks was necessary.

“Hehe, fellow Daoist, I mean no harm. I only wish to congratulate you on successfully passing the tribulation and becoming a king. For this, I would like to invite you to visit our Profound Ice Sect as a guest…”

The Profound Ice Daoist spoke kindly, clasping his hands.

“I am also simply curious about you and wish to invite you to our Ice Poison Gate as a guest, so I followed. I mean no harm…”

The Ice Poison Daoist also clasped his hands and spoke.

“Hehe, no harm, huh?”

Wang Ping sneered, his gaze sharp as he looked at the Profound Ice Sect’s Grand Elder, the Profound Ice Daoist.

If it were still the text simulation of the past, Wang Ping might not have thought much of it and might have considered visiting the two sects.

However, now in this immersive simulation, Wang Ping had caught two key words in the fast-forwarded text simulation: ‘escape.’

To prevent him from escaping, the Profound Ice Daoist had chased after him.

In other words, the Profound Ice Daoist bore ill intentions towards him.

“Fellow Daoist, I indeed bear no ill intentions. I don’t understand why you are so suspicious of me…”

The Profound Ice Daoist smiled bitterly.

“Is there anything wrong with wanting to befriend a future emperor-to-be like you?”

“Wrong, gravely wrong.” Wang Ping raised his Illusory Void Sword, pointing it at the Profound Ice Daoist, and said calmly.

Now, the Illusory Void Sword had just been refined into a King Weapon by the Heavenly Tribulation during his breakthrough, its edge unmistakable.
