172 – The Ji Family of the Upper Realm! Another Purple Talent!
by spirapira“Don’t worry, when you traverse worlds, your bodies will undergo thorough filtering and purification. Any curses, viruses harmful to other worlds, and similar contaminants will all be cleaned off.”
After Wang Ping’s inquiry, Alpha’s cold voice responded.
Hearing this answer, Wang Ping finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that although the anomaly’s ability is dangerous, it is not unsolvable. The chat group has mechanisms to handle it.
His previous worries were all unnecessary.
Speaking of which, he had previously asked Qin Tian for formation disks and other items from the cultivation world.
If there had been any issues, the Purple Spirit Realm and everything else would have been doomed long ago.
“Why didn’t you mention this important matter earlier?”
Wang Ping seemed to remember something and spoke resentfully.
Had he known about this mechanism earlier, he wouldn’t have strategized so painstakingly, dealing with countless headaches.
“If I told you everything, how would there be any opportunity to train you?”
Alpha replied coldly.
“I don’t want you to form an excessive dependency on me. Because in the future, there might be times when even I can’t help.”
“Uh…”
Wang Ping fell silent, speechless.
“Fine, I won’t bother arguing with you.” Wang Ping muttered stubbornly in his heart, then looked at Qin Tian and the others.
“Don’t worry, I consulted the chat group system. The contamination issue is not a big deal; once you go to another world, it will automatically be purified.”
Wang Ping patted Qin Tian’s shoulder and said.
“Is that so? That’s good, then…that’s good.”
Qin Tian wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, letting out a breath of relief.
“Brother Cai, you’ve died once in Fang Yun’s martial arts world and were not repelled or teleported back to your original world after resurrection. You actively chose to return, right? If that’s the case, theoretically, if I were to commit suicide in another world, I could stay there indefinitely, right?”
Qin Tian seemed to have remembered something and asked expectantly.
“Uh… It should be like that. You… You wouldn’t be thinking of committing suicide to escape this world, would you?”
Cai Yonglong’s gaze became subtle.
“Of course I want to escape. How could I not? It’s such a dangerous world; how could I stay and wait to die? Even if the purification would occur during the trip to another world, who knows if this thing will explode and turn me into an unspeakable monster. Once I become a monster, returning to normal is problematic.”
Qin Tian said, feeling extremely frustrated.
“You can’t escape this world.”
Wang Ping shook his head.
“Why not?”
Qin Tian looked at Wang Ping in astonishment.
“The chat group won’t allow you to leave.”
Wang Ping sighed.
Just kidding, if Qin Tian and Ye Xiaofan ran away, the chat group wouldn’t be able to extract the world’s origin energy.
The situation in this world is terrible but not beyond redemption as described by the shop’s anomaly.
Otherwise, the chat group wouldn’t have arranged for transmigrators to come harvest resources.
As long as they can harvest resources, it means the Heavenly Dao of this cultivation world is still struggling, still seeking help, and there’s still some hope.
It’s just that how long the Heavenly Dao of this cultivation world can struggle is unknown.
For a century or two, it’s fine, but much longer, and it could be completely over.
“Why won’t the chat group allow me to leave?”
Qin Tian’s face stiffened, unable to understand.
Damn it, this broken world clearly has issues. The chat group not letting him leave is practically a death sentence!
“Many things, the chat group won’t allow me to reveal. However, given the situation, I need to tell you a few things.”
Wang Ping pondered for a moment and then spoke.
“The chat group sends transmigrators to different worlds to collect ‘protection fees.’ If the transmigrators run away, will those worlds still pay? Definitely not. And the group points and such we get are like our share of the dividends.”
Wang Ping could only speak metaphorically.
“Huh? Protection fees? Damn it, I’m so weak, who can I protect? Others not protecting me is already good enough.”
Qin Tian’s face twitched, speechless.
“Your strength doesn’t matter; what matters is that you belong to the chat group, which makes you like an envoy representing it. That’s enough.”
Wang Ping shook his head and slowly spoke.
Qin Tian fell into silence.
It was the first time Cai Yonglong, Wu Jun, Chen Kang, and Chen Si had heard such things, leaving them speechless as well.
To be honest, everyone in the group could pretty much guess some of the operating mechanisms of the chat group. It’s just that today, Wang Ping blatantly revealed these mechanisms, making it more realistic.
“Sigh, I thought transmigrating would make me superior, but I ended up just being a laborer, albeit an advanced one.”
Cai Yonglong mumbled, trying to lighten the mood.
Wu Jun and Chen Kang couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
Damn, it’s too real.
They were just transformed from poor players in Earth Online to more struggling bodyguard players in Allheavens Online.
“You and Ye Xiaofan should have the chance to leave this world. However, given your talent, staying in this world would be more beneficial. Unless a new cultivation world appears, your Immortal’s Dao Fruit wouldn’t continue to be effective.”
Wang Ping rubbed his chin and continued.
“I’m curious about your Immortal’s Dao Fruit. Does it only refer to the Immortal Realm in this world, or is it the concept of an immortal in general? As long as it’s a world with an Immortal Realm, you could easily become an immortal in that world. If that’s the case, going to a place like the Great Desolation would be incredibly formidable.”
“Uh…” Qin Tian was stunned and said hesitantly. “There’s someone who can leave, huh… I’ll discuss it with Ye Xiaofan.”
Wang Ping made a lot of sense. His Golden Finger would only be effective in a cultivation world, otherwise, he’d be useless.
As for swapping the Golden Finger, he was indeed reluctant.
Who knows what they’d draw next… If it’s something as ordinary as Zhang Yueying’s Golden Finger, that would be disastrous.
It’s worth noting, he has already optimized the Golden Finger once.
From Immortal’s Dao Fruit to True Immortal’s Dao Fruit, it has become even stronger.
If it’s as Wang Ge said, going to a powerful cultivation world like the Great Desolation would be thrilling.
But he was truly reluctant to swap his Golden Finger.
Yet, staying in this world also terrified him.
So, leaving while retaining the Golden Finger would be the best option.
Even though that would mean losing the ability to rapidly grow stronger…
“You really want to escape…”
Wang Ping shook his head, not surprised by Qin Tian’s decision.
“Do I have a choice? Who can stay here…”
Qin Tian smiled bitterly.
“Indeed, no one can stay, not even I’m unafraid of this world.”
Wang Ping nodded, fully understanding Qin Tian’s thoughts.
He always thought his Purple Spirit Realm had the highest difficulty.
Now, stepping into the cultivation world, Wang Ping felt that Qin Tian might be worse off.
“Alpha, is there a way to bring one or two newcomers into this world? Given the current situation, it’s not suitable for Qin Tian and Ye Xiaofan, these two potential talents, to stay here. It’s better to introduce newcomers.”
“After all, we have to consider the cost-effectiveness, right? Setting Qin Tian aside, being a future soldier… With Ye Xiaofan having the Sacred Body, it suits his growth more to be in the same world as me.”
After thinking for a moment, Wang Ping started communicating with Alpha in his mind.
As the saying goes, there are grades of friends.
Compared to the lives of Qin Tian and Ye Xiaofan, the fate of newcomers in this world didn’t concern him much.
Unless the newcomers proved their value, only then would Wang Ping protect them.
“It’s a possibility.”
After pondering for a while, Alpha answered.
She only needed a transmigrator to remain in this cultivation big world. The strength of the group members, until they reached a certain level, didn’t make much difference.
“Your main target in this group mission isn’t that contaminated anomaly, but the shop anomaly. Taking it down and showcasing our ability to eliminate anomalies to this cultivation world is crucial. So, don’t think of trading with the anomaly, you’ll only fall into their trap.”
Alpha paused, then reminded again.
“Rest assured, I had considered this earlier on. Besides, I have already thought of a way to deal with that shop anomaly.”
Wang Ping’s eyes gleamed as he spoke internally.
Learning about the contaminated anomaly’s presence in the cultivation big world, he never thought that anomaly was their mission objective.
Despite Alpha’s foolish arrangements, their targets were always anomaly minions that hadn’t fully matured and were still within their capability to handle.
Alpha: “…”
Alpha remained silent. It seemed that Wang Ping was increasingly disregarding Him, blatantly calling Him stupid.
“Forget it, after all, this is my chosen executor. I can’t stoop to his level.”
Alpha comforted Himself and quietly disappeared.
“Qin Tian, there’s no need to be too anxious; after all, nothing has happened for over a hundred years. I just negotiated with the chat group, boasting that both you and Ye Xiaofan are promising talents who shouldn’t be put in danger. Therefore, I suggested that the chat group bring one or two more newcomers into this world and let you move to another world.”
Wang Ping withdrew his thoughts and looked at Qin Tian, beginning to win over people’s hearts.
Although his prestige in Qin Tian’s heart was already high enough, he didn’t mind gaining even more prestige.
After all, who would complain about having too much prestige?
“Brother Wang, thank you so much… you’re like a father to me!”
Qin Tian, hearing Wang Ping’s words, was extremely moved and jumped onto Wang Ping with tears in his eyes.
Damn, Brother Wang is reliable! With this golden thigh, nothing will happen to him!
“Get off. Step aside.”
Wang Ping disdainfully kicked off the pouncing Qin Tian.
If Qin Tian were a beauty, it would be fine, but having a grown man cling to him was truly disgusting.
“Wow, Brother Wang has gained another son.”
Cai Yonglong teased as he saw the scene.
Cai Yonglong’s teasing made Chen Kang, Chen Si, and Wu Jun’s expressions turn subtle.
Next, Wang Ping and the others didn’t waste any more time and directly explained the situation in Qin Tian’s world in the chat group.
In an instant, Ye Xiaofan was rendered speechless.
The people in the group were also stunned, not expecting the situation in Qin Tian’s world to be so terrible.
Everyone confirmed once again that the anomalies they had dealt with before were truly small fry. Facing anomalies that have developed to such an extent that they could contaminate an entire immortal cultivation world left everyone anxious… they wanted to stay as far away as possible.
Perhaps, the way to solve anomalies in the immortal cultivation world is to destroy the entire world along with them.
But to destroy such a world would require unimaginably immense power.
Wang Ping (66) @ Lin Yuanyuan (80): “Yuanyuan, come to Qin Tian’s world; we need you to handle the shop anomaly.”
Lin Yuanyuan (80): “Okay, give me permission, and I’ll come over now.”
Zhang Hu (5): “Wow, first the Pope anomaly, now the shop anomaly… Is Lin Yuanyuan really an anomaly slayer?”
Fang Yun (3): “What else can I say… hats off to her. Nonetheless, it’s like the idiom ‘dying under a peony flower, it’s still romantic.’ Humorous.jpg.”
Chen Yao (71): “…”
Wang Ping ignored the chatter and waited for Lin Yuanyuan’s arrival.
Soon, with the appearance of white light, Lin Yuanyuan also arrived in this world.
“Brother Wang.”
Upon arrival, Lin Yuanyuan smiled at and nodded respectfully to Wang Ping.
“Let’s go; no need to wait for Ye Xiaofan this time. We won’t need him to deal with the shop anomaly.”
Wang Ping nodded at Lin Yuanyuan and spoke.
Everyone had no objections.
Then, after Wang Ping explained the strategy to Lin Yuanyuan, they immediately tore through space and left the Thunder Realm Sanctuary.
Along the way, no one noticed that Wang Ping and the others had already left.
Soon, they found the shop anomaly and arrived at the small shop.
Since Wang Ping had already figured out the method during a simulation, he immediately had Lin Yuanyuan draw cards, revealing all of them at once.
Then, with Cai Yonglong’s help, they used Absolute Defense to block the negative curses, successfully triggering the wish.
In the end, they effortlessly drained the shop anomaly.
It must be noted, Lin Yuanyuan was as formidable as ever.
“Ding, the anomaly is dead. The group task is complete, and rewards have been issued individually. Group members can now claim their rewards from the group rewards page.”
“Ding, the group task is complete. Members may silently recite the return command to return to their original world. If they do not return within twenty-four hours, the system will force them back to their original world.”
Hearing the voice in his mind, Wang Ping nodded in satisfaction.
“Lin Yuanyuan, did you acquire any of the anomaly’s abilities?”
Wang Ping looked at Lin Yuanyuan and asked.
Lin Yuanyuan was very diligent in participating in group tasks; she should have accumulated a million group points by now. She might have already optimized her Golden Finger earlier.
“No…”
Lin Yuanyuan shook her head in disappointment.
She had optimized her Golden Finger before and had borrowed 200,000 group points from Liu Mei for that.
Her optimized Golden Finger only increased the upper limit of the Golden Finger, with no other changes.
At first, she thought it might change to just a kiss, but it didn’t.
Later, she thought that increasing the upper limit might grant her anomalous abilities, but that didn’t happen either.
What did it even enhance?
Did it enhance loneliness?
“No? It seems you’ve already optimized it, and it simply increased the upper limit of the ability. For instance, you might have only been able to drain experts at the emperor level initially, but with the increased upper limit, you might now be able to drain Void Gods, True Gods, God Monarchs, and even Saint-level experts.”
Wang Ping said thoughtfully.
“I’m disappointed that I couldn’t get any anomalous abilities…”
Lin Yuanyuan muttered.
“Hehe, anomalies are special after all, so there’s no need to be disappointed.”
Wang Ping smiled.
“Speaking of which, Brother Wang, why didn’t you wish for the anomaly to directly enter Lin Yuanyuan’s body? That way, it would be easier to kill.”
Cai Yonglong stroked his chin and spoke.
He had just thought of this.
“That situation with Liu Mei was special; the anomaly didn’t know Liu Mei’s identity. But this time, the anomaly clearly knows our identities. How could it possibly allow us to make such a wish?”
Wang Ping shook his head.
“When Yuanyuan made that wish just now, it even raised suspicions. If Lin Yuanyuan wasn’t such a good actress, playing a pervert expressing lustful cravings, the anomaly wouldn’t have fallen for it…”
“Uh, you are right.”
Cai Yonglong couldn’t say anything to that.
“Sister Yuanyuan, you’re amazing…” Chen Si said, blushing.
“Alright, let’s leave immediately. Staying in this world any longer might bring trouble.”
Wang Ping looked at everyone and spoke.
“Brother Wang, please remember what we talked about…”
Seeing Wang Ping about to leave, Qin Tian spoke with eager eyes.
“Don’t worry, I got it.”
Wang Ping patted Qin Tian on the shoulder.
Then, Wang Ping transformed into a white light and disappeared, returning to the Purple Spirit Realm.
After returning to the Purple Spirit Realm, he opened his red packet.
“Ding! Due to your 100% contribution in the group task, you are rewarded with five million group points.”
“Five million, how stingy…”
Wang Ping looked at the reward and curled his lips.
“This anomaly was easy to deal with; getting this much reward is already good enough. Don’t be too greedy. After all, this time I sent you to solve the shop anomaly to show the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Cultivation World that we can handle anomalies, so it will continue making offerings in peace.”
Alpha’s cold and ruthless voice rang out.
“When the time is ripe, we’ll help it solve the fundamental issue.”
“So, that’s the true purpose…”
Wang Ping’s eyes turned subtle as he listened to Alpha’s reply.
Isn’t this just dangling a carrot in front of the Immortal Cultivation World’s Heavenly Dao?
“So, at this time, the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Cultivation World hasn’t been completely polluted, right?”
Wang Ping’s eyes flickered as he spoke.
“It’s still stubbornly resisting the anomalies, slowing the rate of pollution. Besides that, the numerous Immortal Emperors of that world are leading other cultivators in a final struggle in cooperation with the Heavenly Dao.”
Alpha replied.
“Alright then.”
Wang Ping nodded, not surprised by the response.
Next, Wang Ping opened the chat group and sent a red packet to Lin Yuanyuan.
According to the contribution value, Lin Yuanyuan should at least have 30% of the contribution value this time. Without her, the anomaly in this shop would have been difficult to resolve.
Therefore, Wang Ping sent Lin Yuanyuan a group point amount of two million in an exclusive red packet, which is a reasonable distribution.
Anyway, Wang Ping is not short on group points now, so he won’t be stingy.
Lin Yuanyuan is someone he wants to cultivate, so he should be generous when necessary.
“Next, continue the simulation. After the simulation is completed, let Lin Yuanyuan and others come to the Purple Spirit Realm, and I will let them ascend to the skies in a single leap.”
Wang Ping thought to himself silently.
“System, spend thirty-five King Weapons for a paid simulation.”
Then, Wang Ping said without hesitation in his heart.
“Ding, consuming thirty-five King Weapons, Life Simulator activated, refreshing talents…”
The System’s voice rang out.
“Ding, talent refresh successful, congratulations host for successfully refreshing red talent: Group Taunt; blue talent Demonic Cultivation in Turbulent Times.”
Red Talent – Group Taunt: Possessing this talent, the host can freely taunt enemies, making other enemies prioritize attacking them.
“A red taunt talent? Looks like the previous blue talent was a single-target taunt, while the red one is an enhanced version, a group taunt, and the potential limit should be higher.”
Wang Ping silently judged.
As for the Blue Talent: Demonic Cultivation in Turbulent Times, Wang Ping had no interest in even glancing at it.
“System, I choose the red talent: Group Taunt.”
Wang Ping said in his heart.
“Ding, talent selection successful, life simulation beginning.”
The System’s voice rang out, and Wang Ping felt his consciousness blur, entering an immersive simulation state.
“System, fast forward for me.”
Wang Ping’s eyes flickered and he spoke again.
“Ding, fast forwarding…”
The System’s voice rang out again, the screen appeared, and text floated out.
【On the first day, you chose to retreat for cultivation, continuing to comprehend the Incinerating Heaven Emperor’s Scripture. After all, the deeper the comprehension of the Emperor’s Scripture, the stronger the effect. Now, you have achieved the emperor realm, but your comprehension of its mysteries, especially the divine abilities, is merely superficial.】
【You are very aware of the terror of the upper realm, therefore you do not wish to be outclassed by upper realm geniuses who have not cultivated the Emperor’s Scripture but have a deeper understanding of sacred-level techniques and abilities after reaching the upper realm. That would be too humiliating.】
【In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed. You have been cultivating silently. However, without the powerful boost from the Purple Talent – Enlightenment Through Killing, you clearly feel that the Incinerating Heaven Emperor’s Scripture has once again become much more obscure and difficult to understand, making you quite helpless.】
【You know that the Purple Talent – Divine Comprehension level is too low. Perhaps it is fast enough for comprehending divine level techniques and abilities, even the techniques and abilities created by quasi-immortal realm powerhouses, but this level of comprehension is merely entry-level for understanding the Emperor’s Scripture.】
【However, you have no intention of giving up. Anyway, you aim to comprehend it more deeply even if it takes a long time. Simultaneously, you have not given up on understanding the pseudo-laws. You want to make further progress.】
【In the blink of an eye, several decades have passed, and you find that Ji Bingyue is about to fall unexpectedly. If you do not intervene, she will perish. Therefore, you choose to leave the Blue Flame Valley and keep an eye on Ji Bingyue, hiding in the void.】
【In this life, you wish to know why Ji Bingyue would fall unexpectedly. You also want to determine if there is any connection between Ji Bingyue and Ji Xue’er, linked to the Ice Empress Ji Bingyan.】
【Very soon, you get the answer you seek. During a training session, Ji Bingyue faces a life-or-death situation but breaks through the limits and survives miraculously. However, after this survival, you notice a significant change in her emotions. Her demeanor and speech became very similar to what you remember of the Ice Empress Ji Bingyan.】
【This makes you thoughtful, and you vaguely guess something. Finally, you continue to follow Ji Bingyue and find she did not return to the Heavenly Sword Holy Land but directly tore through space and went to the Eternal Frozen Wastes, deep within it.】
【Since your strength is far beyond the current Ice Empress Ji Bingyan, your spying goes unnoticed by her. According to your observations, after arriving at Eternal Frozen Wastes, Ji Bingyue begins cultivating rapidly.】
【Soon after, Ji Xue’er also appears in the deepest part of the Eternal Frozen Wastes and retreats with the Ice Empress Ji Bingyan.】
【Seeing all this, you verify your guess and deeply admire the Ice Empress Ji Bingyan. Her Secret Technique is truly powerful, containing the profound mystery of dividing into three pure ones.】
【Unsurprisingly, the Ice Empress Ji Bingyan splits part of her soul every so often and reincarnates it into the future generations of the Ji family. If these descendants awaken, she summons them back to the deepest part of the Eternal Frozen Wastes to help her cultivate.】
【Moreover, once these incarnations grow, they merge their souls and cultivation, making her strength skyrocket. This Secret Technique’s concept is excellent and its potential astonishing.】
【However, theoretically, even if such a technique were created, it should not be possible for someone at the level of the Ice Empress Ji Bingyan to practice it successfully. The mysteries of reincarnation are unattainable even for a quasi-immortal, let alone someone stronger from the upper realm.】
【Moreover, you doubt whether this technique was created by the Ice Empress Ji Bingyan or it was a fortuitous encounter. Such an opportunity involving the mysteries of reincarnation is truly an outstanding fortune.】
【During your contemplation, your emotions fluctuated, eventually alerting the Ice Empress Ji Bingyan to your presence. Although you are powerful, continuous spying makes anyone with acute senses uncomfortable.】
【Thus, Ice Empress Ji Bingyan lets out a cold snort, demanding you show yourself. You don’t conceal anything and choose to meet her. When you do, she attacks you directly without hesitation, as your actions are an unforgivable offense to any cultivator.】
【Facing Ice Empress Ji Bingyan’s full-force strike, you effortlessly parry it, surprising and intimidating her. She suspects your strength has surpassed the quasi-immortal level, indicating she is no match for you.】
【Seeing her uneasiness, you have no intention to fight further and apologize. Ice Empress Ji Bingyan frowns, unable to discern your origin or intentions behind your actions.】
【However, she accepts your apology and asks you to leave. You refuse with a smile and propose a trade with her.】
【This makes her frown in suspicion, wondering what you want to trade. You provide an answer: you’ll exchange divine techniques, divine abilities, and abundant cultivation resources for her reincarnation technique and the method to breakthrough to the God Realm.】
【Ice Empress Ji Bingyan frowns in surprise, not expecting you to see through her technique’s mysteries and know about her method to ascend to the Void God Realm.】
【Then, Ice Empress Ji Bingyan tells you that her technique cannot be imparted, so she cannot trade it. As for the method to breakthrough to the Void God Realm, she claims not to know it.】
Seeing the Ice Empress Ji Bingyan refuse to trade with you, you frowned slightly…
At this point, the textual simulation stopped, Wang Ping’s consciousness flickered, and his vision shifted, appearing in the Eternal Frozen Wastes. Many scenes and insights from his cultivation over the years flashed through his mind.
“Is it another branching storyline? What kind of branch this time?”
Wang Ping’s eyes flickered as he looked at the cold-faced Ice Empress Ji Bingyan, silently pondering.
“Daoist friend, if there is nothing else, please leave. When I finish my seclusion, I will receive you properly, how about that?”
Seeing Wang Ping frown, the Ice Empress Ji Bingyan’s expression remained icy, her words made her meaning very clear.
This place does not welcome you, please leave.
“Daoist friend, I, Wang, once obtained a secret technique that allows me to see a glimpse of the future. In the future I saw, two powerful beings from the upper realm will descend and bring destruction to the Purple Spirit Realm. At that time, the Purple Spirit Realm will perish, and all beings will die. Neither you nor I will be able to escape.”
“Therefore, I must gain enough strength to confront them. I must break through to the Void God Realm within a millennium to save the Purple Spirit Realm.”
Wang Ping’s eyes were deep as he spoke slowly.
Wang Ping now figured out what the branch choice was all about.
However, if possible, Wang Ping really didn’t want to do it.
Even though he was in a simulation, if possible, he didn’t want to do it.
Wang Ping still had a lot of respect for the Ice Empress Ji Bingyan. He had once apprenticed under her in a simulation or had become close friends.
But sometimes, he had no choice. Everything was for the sake of exploring paths and getting stronger.
Otherwise, he would be trapped in the Purple Spirit Realm, and if he delayed too long, everyone would die within a thousand years.
Even if it wasn’t a thousand years, he might die while fighting the enemies from other worlds.
So, Wang Ping very much hoped that the Ice Empress Ji Bingyan could cooperate.
“Do you think I would believe your nonsense?”
The Ice Empress Ji Bingyan snorted coldly.
Seeing a picture of a thousand years in the future?
Even those who can deduce heavenly secrets at the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion might not be able to do that.
And the person in front of her is a shameless person who peeps at her cultivation, how could he have such ability?
Even if he did, getting such an opportunity from her with just a few words?
That, evidently, was impossible.
“I’m sorry, I’ve offended you. I will compensate you properly in the future.”
Wang Ping fell silent for a moment, sighed, and erupted with terrifying mana, and a tenth of the pseudo-laws of fire suddenly burst out, surging towards the Ice Empress Ji Bingyan.
Now, even when facing ordinary Void Gods, Wang Ping could kill them instantly.
As for the current Ice Empress Ji Bingyan, who wasn’t even a quasi-immortal yet, she had no chance of resisting Wang Ping’s full-on assault.
Even though Ice Empress Ji Bingyan had been on guard against Wang Ping, it was still to no avail, as Wang Ping directly subdued her in an instant.
Her body was severely injured, her mana sealed, and her soul suppressed.
In the face of absolute power disparity, even someone like Ice Empress Ji Bingyan could only meet such fate.
!!!
The Ice Empress Ji Bingyan’s face turned pale, unable to believe the difference in power was so vast. She struggled desperately, but it was of no use. She didn’t even have the ability to use forbidden secret techniques to perish together with Wang Ping.
“I’m sorry, I’ve offended you.”
Wang Ping helplessly sighed and said those words again.
As soon as the words fell, Wang Ping directly broke open Ice Empress Ji Bingyan’s sea of consciousness and began to soul-search.
This process was not easy.
Although Wang Ping’s combat power was strong and he had mastered many secret techniques from the upper realm, the Ice Empress Ji Bingyan wasn’t weak, making the soul-search particularly difficult.
However, Wang Ping eventually succeeded in uncovering the secrets that the Ice Empress Ji Bingyan had hidden.
What the Ice Empress Ji Bingyan knew about breaking through to the Void God Realm was that she knew of a secret realm.
This secret realm was left ten thousand years ago by an ascending cultivator just before their ascension. It contained many divine essences, enough for a quasi-immortal to break through to the Void God Realm.
“An ascending cultivator of ten thousand years ago? Compared to that ruthless Mo Shangli, this is a truly respectable senior…”
Wang Ping sighed with emotion.
Even when about to ascend, taking precautions and leaving some hope for future generations…
“But, what about that secret technique?”
Wang Ping’s eyes flickered as he continued the soul search.
Soon, Wang Ping found something incredible.
It turned out that Ice Empress Ji Bingyan’s previous life was not from the Purple Spirit Realm. She was a descendant of the Ji family from the Upper Realm. After her fall, she reincarnated into the Purple Spirit Realm.
The reincarnation secret technique in her mind was recorded by the Ji family.
Every direct descendant of the Ji family, even after several reincarnations, could awaken fragmented memories of their past lives when their cultivation reached a certain level. This allowed them to recognize their identity and practice the reincarnation secret technique of the Ji family.
“Another descendant of an imperial clan from the Upper Realm…”
Wang Ping was utterly speechless.
What kind of place was the Purple Spirit Realm to have two families related to imperial clans at the same time?
Besides, that sealed demonic weapon also seemed terrifying… This is really absurd.
At this moment, Wang Ping attempted to probe into the secrets of the Ji family’s secret technique.
“Who dares to spy on the Ji family’s secret technique!?”
However, just as Wang Ping made his move, a dignified voice thundered, directly shattering Wang Ping’s soul and body, forcing him into his revival state.
When Wang Ping revived, he saw the Ice Empress Ji Bingyan, who seemed to have turned into a different person, coldly staring at him.
“A revival method reversing time? Little one, you do have some skills. However, daring to spy on the Ji family’s secret technique, even if you have a method to reverse time, you will still have to fall completely.”
The cold voice rang out, making Wang Ping’s body stiffen, and he felt the flow of time become chaotic…
Eventually, he completely lost consciousness.
Not long after, Wang Ping awoke with a start, cold sweat pouring off his forehead.
The feeling of having his soul shattered and then resurrected, only to get caught in a vortex of time again, was extremely uncomfortable. He thought he was truly going to die.
“It seems that in the future, it’s better to voluntarily exit the simulation when encountering an unbeatable opponent.”
Wang Ping sighed.
He wasn’t a masochist; he didn’t enjoy being tormented.
“The Upper Realm Ji family, the Reincarnation Emperor, the reincarnation secret technique, this security measure is truly impressive. If an outsider dares to tamper with it, the strong souls’ imprints immediately activate to deliver a blow.”
Wang Ping shook his head in admiration.
“I really don’t understand why Ji Bingyue didn’t cultivate the Reincarnation Emperor’s scripture but instead opted to create her own techniques and divine abilities. Is it because she doesn’t plan to return to the Ji family and thus can’t cultivate, or perhaps only a portion of the secret techniques were recorded in the soul imprint?”
Wang Ping pondered over this issue once more, lost in thought.
“Forget it. In the future, I have the opportunity to get closer to Ji Bingyan to ask her directly, instead of guessing. However, doing things against my conscience in immersive simulations is still a bit uncomfortable. After making decisions in the future, I’ll rely on text simulations to reduce my guilt. Moreover, I need to find a way to make it up to Ji Bingyan in reality.”
After a long time, Wang Ping collected his thoughts and muttered to himself.
“Ding, the reward has been generated successfully. The host can choose one of the following rewards:
- A random Emperor Weapon.
- Red talent: Group Taunt.
- Blue talent: Demonic Cultivation in Turbulent Times.”
“System, I choose 2.”
Wang Ping looked at the ‘meagre’ reward and quickly made his choice.
While an Emperor Weapon was nice, Wang Ping felt that the red talent: Group Taunt offered better value.
“Unfortunately, although I uncovered a great secret, my strength hasn’t improved much. Now, I only have one paid simulation chance left and have to continue searching for resources. However, in the Purple Spirit Realm, unless I slaughter all the major Holy Lands, it’s impossible to collect many King and Emperor Weapons.”
Wang Ping shook his head, feeling a bit helpless.
“System, I’ll spend three Emperor Weapons to conduct a paid simulation. This is the last simulation chance; I hope it’s a good one. I don’t expect you to refresh golden talents, but at least give me another purple talent. Otherwise, apart from some functional red talents, ordinary red talents do too little for me now.”
Wang Ping quickly composed himself, took out three Emperor Weapons, and communicated with the System in his mind.
“Ding, payment successful. Life Simulator activated, refreshing talents…”
The System’s voice echoed.
“Ding, talents refreshed successfully. Congratulations to the host for successfully refreshing the purple talent: Destiny Connection; red talent: Fire Profound Body.”
Purple Talent – Destiny Connection: With this talent, the host can forcibly link destinies with any cultivator below the Saint realm. Any damage you receive will also be inflicted on the linked individual. If you die, they will die as well.
