193 – Blasting the Saint! Overflowing with Wealth!
by spirapiraWith a flash of white light, Wang Ping and Lin Yuanyuan left the Purple Spirit Realm and arrived in Yu Zhengtao’s world.
This also gave Yu Zhengtao a fright.
However, Yu Zhengtao then showed a delighted expression and said: ‘Brother Wang, you finally came!’
‘Some things delayed me for a bit. How are things on your side?’
Wang Ping patted Yu Zhengtao’s shoulder and asked.
‘The situation… it’s quite troublesome.’
Yu Zhengtao said helplessly.
‘The Holy Land I’m in isn’t weak on this Hongwu Continent, with an ancestor at the Great Perfection of the Emperor Realm sitting in, but offending a quasi-immortal is really troublesome. There’s a risk of the heritage being severed.’
‘How did your Holy Land offend that quasi-immortal?’
Lin Yuanyuan asked curiously.
‘Nothing special… The descendant of that quasi-immortal took a fancy to the saintess of our White Bone Holy Land and shamelessly pursued her in various ways. Then, he was beaten up by our saintess. After that, their ancestor came knocking, demanding that the saintess marry his descendant, or he would destroy the White Bone Holy Land.’
Yu Zhengtao said bitterly.
‘Now, the Holy Land is ready to compromise. After all, although the saintess is noble, to preserve the Holy Land’s heritage, the saintess had to be sacrificed.’
‘Do you like that saintess?’
Wang Ping looked at him with a peculiar expression, guessing.
‘Ahem…’
Yu Zhengtao coughed awkwardly and nodded.
‘If you like her, then pursue her. There’s no need to be embarrassed,’ Wang Ping said with a smile. ‘I’ll infuse you with some power later, so you can show off and see if you can win her over.’
‘Uh… later?’
Yu Zhengtao was stunned.
‘White Bone, have you made up your mind?’
At this moment, a sinister voice rang out.
Then, a terrifying pressure directly covered the area where White Bone Holy Land was located, causing countless cultivators to turn pale.
This brought Yu Zhengtao back to his senses, realizing the meaning of Wang Ping’s earlier words.
It was clear that Brother Wang had already anticipated the quasi-immortal’s arrival, so he wanted him to show off.
‘Brother Wang, I think I’ll show off and knock him down later.’
Yu Zhengtao clenched his fist and said excitedly.
Beating a quasi-immortal while just in the Profound Elixir Realm… he could boast about this for a lifetime on Hongwu Continent.
‘Alright.’
Wang Ping nodded and used a secret technique to infuse a power into Yu Zhengtao’s body, allowing him to freely manipulate this power.
Although this power was consumable and not a permanent gift to Yu Zhengtao, it was enough for him to squander for a while.
‘Is this considered a ghost possession in a different way?’ Yu Zhengtao felt the immense power within him and couldn’t help but mutter.
‘Who are you calling a ghost?’
Wang Ping’s face darkened, and he slapped Yu Zhengtao on the forehead.
‘Ahem… Sorry, Brother Wang. I chose my words poorly.’
Yu Zhengtao grabbed his hair awkwardly.
Next to him, Lin Yuanyuan couldn’t help but giggle, feeling that Yu Zhengtao was somewhat adorable.
The subsequent developments didn’t have any surprises.
Although the ancestor of White Bone Holy Land, the White Bone Daoist, was resentful, he still planned to send the saintess away.
Originally, the saintess of White Bone Holy Land had already despaired, but with Yu Zhengtao suddenly appearing and subduing the demonic quasi-immortal, everyone was shocked. Especially the saintess, who developed admiration for Yu Zhengtao.
‘Brother Wang, what should we do next?’
After enjoying the show, Lin Yuanyuan curiously asked.
‘The show is over. It’s time to leave. Xiao Yu’s Golden Finger gets stronger by taking hits, which is useless against anomalies. So, there’s no need to take him along. Let him continue to develop his relationship with the White Bone Saintess.’
Wang Ping stretched lazily and said casually.
“Of course, our purpose in coming to this world is not just to deal with the anomaly…”
After pausing for a moment, Wang Ping spoke again.
“What do you mean?”
Lin Yuanyuan was taken aback and asked curiously.
“Since we rarely come to this world, we naturally have to gather some resources before leaving. After all, the Upper Realm of my world is in the era of the end of magic, and resources are scarce. Currently, I am really poor and lack the resources to utilize the abilities of my Golden Finger…”
Wang Ping sighed.
“So, after I find the anomaly, I won’t kill him immediately. I’ll first go to the Upper Realm of the Hongwu Continent to gather some resources. At that time, I’ll also let you plunder the strength of some Divine Monarch Realm experts…”
“Although your Golden Finger cannot currently plunder the comprehension of martial arts, divine abilities, or laws, as long as your strength keeps up, you can still maintain your position as the second or third strongest in the chat group. I have high expectations for you and hope you can become my right-hand person, fighting by my side against powerful enemies…”
At the end of his speech, Wang Ping patted Lin Yuanyuan’s shoulder, encouraging her.
“Thank you, Brother Wang! I believe that once I accumulate enough group points to optimize my Golden Finger again, I will be able to plunder the comprehension of martial arts and divine abilities. At that time, I will definitely not disappoint you!”
Lin Yuanyuan took a deep breath and spoke earnestly.
“Hmm…”
Wang Ping nodded and didn’t say anything further.
Then, Wang Ping closed his eyes and said in his heart, “System, I want to conduct a Free Simulation.”
“Ding, the Life Simulator is starting, Free Simulation begins…”
In an instant, the System’s voice sounded, and Wang Ping felt his consciousness shake, knowing he had entered the immersive simulation state.
Then, the screen appeared, and text floated up.
【On the first day, you took action with a very aggressive method, directly summoning the Sacred Weapon, intending to blow up the Hongwu Continent. The terrifying power was brewing, and everyone showed expressions of fear.】
【On the Hongwu Continent, the anomaly saw this scene and felt a headache, cursing you as a madman. Then, he tried to forcibly leave the Hongwu Continent before your destruction and escape this world.】
【When the anomaly tried to escape, anomalies appeared, and you easily found his location, knowing his true form, and then blew him up directly.】
【Due to the death of the anomaly, this simulation ends.】
When the text simulation reached here, it stopped, and many images appeared in Wang Ping’s mind, among which the face of the anomaly was particularly clear.
Then, Wang Ping left the immersive simulation state and returned to reality.
“This time, it was really easy. This anomaly seems to be a low-ranking one…”
Wang Ping opened his eyes, his gaze flickering.
With his current strength, he could completely destroy a world in the simulation, forcing the anomaly to come out. This method was always effective.
Of course, this method worked well against weaker anomalies, but against powerful ones, it was somewhat risky…
However, there was still a chance to force them out, achieving the goal.
Conversely, this method was pretty useless against particularly weak anomalies…
Because they couldn’t meet the criteria to destroy the world and forcibly leave.
“Although this anomaly is a low-ranking one, since he can forcibly leave, it means he already has the capability to destroy the Hongwu Continent. It’s still necessary to figure out what his abilities are and how he plans to destroy the Hongwu Continent…”
Wang Ping thought of this and closed his eyes again.
Seeing Wang Ping closing his eyes again, indicating the use of his abilities, Lin Yuanyuan did not have any intention to inquire and continued to wait quietly.
“System, I want to conduct a Free Simulation.”
Wang Ping spoke in his heart.
“Ding, the Life Simulator starts, Free Simulation begins…”
The System’s voice sounded, and Wang Ping entered the immersive simulation state again.
Then, the screen appeared, with familiar text floating up.
【On the first day, you easily found the anomaly and used your divine sense to monitor his every move. Due to your extremely high cultivation and powerful divine sense, the anomaly did not notice your surveillance.】
【Soon, you discovered what this anomaly’s ability was. It was domination. This anomaly could freely dominate those weaker or equal in strength to him.】
【The existence this anomaly possessed now had reached the quasi-immortal level. In other words, anyone at the quasi-immortal level or below could be dominated by him instantly.】
【However, in the Hongwu Continent, there are still some Void God Realm cultivators suppressing their cultivation without ascending. This world, unlike the Ten Great Universes, does not have a complicated connection between the Upper and Lower Realms; the Lower Realm can easily contact the Upper Realm.】
【Therefore, the anomaly can dominate those at the quasi-immortal level or below but cannot dominate those above the Void God Realm. Unless his power also reaches the level of a Void God, can he dominate them.】
Of course, for the anomaly, this was already enough. The subjects it controlled could be manipulated to life and death at will. Although it couldn’t kill a Void God, it was more than enough to destroy the living beings of the Hongwu Continent…
However, this anomaly intended to annihilate all living beings on the Hongwu Continent, leaving no survivors, so it had yet to take action to destroy them…
After understanding the cause and effect, a sense of heaviness settled in your heart. The anomaly’s ability was extremely perverse, not needing to even glance at a living being to determine their fate by a direct rule-level judgment. If you were weaker than it, you would be controlled… it was terrifying…
Clearly, if this anomaly were to grow, it would become an unimaginable horror in the future. Hence, you developed a desire to kill it…
However, you eventually decided not to act immediately and instead chose to experiment first. You captured a Void God and had Lin Yuanyuan seize its power. Subsequently, Lin Yuanyuan became a strong Void God Realm cultivator…
After all, Lin Yuanyuan was currently only at the quasi-immortal level and would still be controlled by the anomaly, putting her in great danger…
Once Lin Yuanyuan became a strong Void God Realm cultivator, you forced the anomaly to use its ability to eliminate all controlled subjects. In an instant, all the controlled subjects turned into a mist of blood. However, Lin Yuanyuan, who had become a Void God Realm cultivator, was unharmed…
This made you let out a sigh of relief. Initially, you thought that even if one were controlled, they would still be in danger after their cultivation became stronger. Now it seemed you had overthought it. If the control persisted after cultivation improvement, it would indeed be too terrifying…
You next sealed the anomaly and took Lin Yuanyuan to the Upper Realm where Hongwu Continent was located…
‘This anomaly’s ability is truly powerful. If I could ever get a similar talent in the future, that would be amazing…’ Wang Ping thought, looking at the text simulation content with some envy…
With such power, the amount of powerful combat capabilities he would have at his disposal would be limitless…
When you arrived at the Upper Realm, you were immediately surrounded. Many individuals from various forces inquired which force’s ascender you were…
Regarding this, you felt quite mixed, sighing at how different this place was from the Purple Spirit Realm and Great Origin Ancient Star. Then, you ignored these forces and chose to leave with Lin Yuanyuan…
Upon seeing you perform spatial divine abilities, those strong Void Gods were all left tongue-tied, not expecting you to be such a formidable figure…
Next, you began to think about how to reasonably acquire a large amount of middle-grade divine sources and even upper-grade divine sources in this world…
After some inquiries, you found that the region of this Upper Realm was much larger than Great Origin Ancient Star, with a significantly higher number of Divine Realm cultivators, especially those in the Divine Monarch Realm…
On Great Origin Ancient Star, the number of openly known Divine Monarch Realm cultivators was barely in the hundreds. But in this Upper Realm, there were tens of thousands of Divine Monarch Realm cultivators…
It could be said that the resources in this world were incredibly abundant. Of course, Great Origin Ancient Star was merely an ancient star in the Upper Realm you were in. If all the cultivators in the Upper Realm were counted, the number of Divine Monarch Realm cultivators would certainly far exceed that…
Then, you also discovered that saints were genuinely rare in this world. The number of active saints in this world was only five. Including those self-proclaimed saints, the number absolutely wouldn’t exceed ten…
This surprised you. However, after sensing the laws of this world, you gained a deeper understanding of what Alpha meant by saying the laws of this world were incomplete…
The laws manifested in this world were so incomplete they were hardly laws, although much stronger than pseudo-laws, still far lower than the level of the Upper Realm you were in…
To achieve enlightenment and sainthood in such a world, you believed the saints of this world were indeed tough characters…
Lastly, you found that the production of lower and middle-grade divine sources in this world was astonishing. However, the upper-grade divine sources that could be used only in the Saint Realm were extremely rare. Whenever some appeared, it would trigger horrifying life-and-death battles among demi-saints. Sometimes it would even lead to battles between saints…
Faced with this, you could only shake your head, thinking the main goal of this time was to collect middle-grade divine sources…
After some contemplation, you took action, finding the auction held by the strongest force in the eastern part of the Upper Realm, the Wood Palace, and prepared to showcase your Sacred Weapon to see if you could perform some entrapment law enforcement…
However, something unexpected happened. The effect of your Purple Talent: Fortune’s Bounty was triggered again. Soon after, a terrifying phenomenon soared to the sky, sweeping through the eastern part of the Upper Realm…
This attracted the attention of many cultivators in this world, and you were also drawn, tearing through space to rush over…
Upon arrival, you saw an endless divine source vein, with countless lower-grade divine sources and many middle-grade divine sources. There were even quite a few upper-grade divine sources, shining with crystalline luster…
This made your eyes burn with desire. If you could dig up this entire divine source vein, you wouldn’t be lacking resources for a long time. At the very least, it could support your simulation expenses until you reached the Saint Realm…
Though middle-grade divine sources might likely become useless upon reaching the Saint Realm, you were unwilling to think that far ahead. You planned to get these divine sources first…
When you were ready to take the divine sources, powerful cultivators began to appear one after another, with the weakest being Divine Monarch Realm and even a demi-saint present…
You ignored them and acted strongly. Seeing this, the cultivators were all furious and launched attacks at you, the one who stood out…
Facing these attacks, you showed no fear, unleashing divine abilities and beating them all away, sweeping them aside despite the demi-sanctuary backing them…
You found that the combat power of these cultivators seemed weaker than that of the major forces’ cultivators from Great Origin Ancient Star under the same realm. After some thought, you understood why…
Because the strongest beings in this world were saints, the Saint-level techniques and skills were highly unattainable, incomparable to the Holy Lands and major families of Great Origin Ancient Star, especially compared to forces like Dao Palace that possessed Emperor’s scriptures…
Seeing you single-handedly sweeping aside many cultivators, even the demi-saints, the present cultivators were all shocked, not expecting you, a Divine Monarch Realm cultivator at Great Perfection, to be so powerful…
Soon, someone exclaimed, revealing that you were wielding a Sacred Weapon, causing their eyes to burn with fervor, especially the demi-saints who wished they could use a secret technique to boost their power and snatch the Sacred Weapon from you…
At this moment, a saint descended. The saint saw that your cultivation techniques and divine abilities were extraordinary and demanded you hand over your techniques, abilities, and Sacred Weapon, promising to spare your life…
You sneered at his demand. You found that this so-called saint was much weaker than the saints in your memory. Though a saint, his saintly power was much weaker, and the laws entwining his body were incomplete…
Originally, you thought those who could achieve sainthood in this world were tough characters. Now, it seemed you had overestimated them. Perhaps their talents were indeed not bad, but limited by the world, their combat power was much weaker than the saints on Great Origin Ancient Star…
To deal with this kind of saint, you felt there was no need to use the Supreme Artifact, believing you could battle him despite the level difference…
Seeing that you were unwilling to hand over your techniques, abilities, and Sacred Weapon, this saint flew into a rage and launched a terrifying attack on you. The strike of a saint filled the surrounding cultivators with utter reverence…
Facing this strike, your expression remained unchanged. With a cold laugh, you summoned two Sacred Weapons, utilized three different pseudo-laws, and unleashed the Divine Abilities of the Dao Palace’s Emperor Scripture.
In an instant, you effortlessly shattered the Saint’s attack, even wounding him. This left many cultivators dumbfounded and in disbelief. A Divine Monarch wounding a Saint was unprecedented, yet it happened right before their eyes.
However, they noticed that you had used three different pseudo-laws, which made them gasp in shock and become even more dazed.
The Saint, both shocked and furious, did not expect you to comprehend three different pseudo-laws and wield such terrifying power. He also realized that the power of your pseudo-laws far surpassed his own.
This left the Saint puzzled, unable to understand how you could grasp complete pseudo-laws. However, he quickly calmed down, even feeling a bit greedy, planning to capture you alive to extract the secrets of the complete pseudo-laws. Besides pseudo-laws, he intended to take all your techniques, Divine Abilities, and Sacred Weapons.
Although he had been wounded just now, it wasn’t his full strength, and he remained confident in capturing you.
You noticed the Saint’s greed, let out a cold laugh, and engaged in battle with him. This battle was exhilarating for you, with your purple talent: Infinite Blade occasionally causing the Saint to bleed.
Finally, you rarely used the incomplete version of the Spacetime Dao Body, causing anomalies to erupt, and your power surged again. This made the Saint’s face pale with fear and he tried to escape, unwilling to continue the fight.
However, you had no intention of letting him escape, unleashing a powerful strike that completely obliterated the Saint, causing his absolute demise.
The Saint’s fall brought a rain of blood from the heavens, shocking and frightening countless cultivators. From ancient times to the present, no semi-saint had ever slain a Saint, yet you had accomplished it. It was truly unbelievable.
Ignoring the horrified cultivators, you directly looted the Saint’s corpse in front of everyone, digging out the divine source veins. No one dared to stop you during the entire process.
After leaving, you began to tally your gains. You were pleasantly surprised to find millions of catties of lower-grade divine sources, one hundred thousand catties of middle-grade divine sources, and several hundred catties of upper-grade divine sources from looting the Saint.
However, the greater harvest was the divine source vein. The divine source vein contained ten million catties of lower-grade divine sources, two hundred thousand catties of middle-grade divine sources, and a thousand catties of upper-grade divine sources.
This wave made you incredibly wealthy, amassing nearly half of this world’s cultivation resources. As rulers of this world, Saints had an unsurpassed ability to plunder resources. However, not even the Saints had more resources than this divine source vein held. This proved that the divine source vein was unparalleled in this world.
Holding these resources, you even wondered if after returning to Great Origin Ancient Star, you might establish a grand sect, developing into a Holy Land and becoming a hegemonic force on Great Origin Ancient Star.
‘Goodness, are the Saints of this world really so weak? They could be taken down by me at my current level…’
Wang Ping was astonished while reading the simulation content.
He had thought the Saints in this world were strong, yet he didn’t even need to use a Supreme Artifact to defeat them.
It seemed the difference between Saints in different worlds was greater than night and day.
‘Moreover, the harvest this time is simply terrifying. Over ten million catties of lower-grade divine sources, three hundred thousand catties of middle-grade divine sources, and over a thousand catties of upper-grade divine sources… How many times could I simulate with these?’
Wang Ping was speechless.
Currently, his cultivation had reached the level of Divine Monarch Realm Great Perfection. A paid simulation cost only one thousand catties of middle-grade divine sources, and just the middle-grade divine sources alone were enough for three hundred simulations.
Even if his cultivation level increased to semi-saint, it would still allow for many simulations.
After all, upper-grade divine sources were items only usable by Saint Realm powerhouses.
By then, even if his cultivation reached the Saint Realm, he could continue simulating.
‘It looks like there’s no need to worry about resource issues in the short term, which is very reassuring.’
Wang Ping nodded in satisfaction and continued to gaze at the screen.
Just as you finished tallying your gains and pondering your next steps, you noticed a strong rejection reaction on your body. This made you frown, as you realized that despite the anomaly not being dead, a rejection reaction had appeared. You suspected it was because you had killed the Saint of this world and plundered too many resources, causing this world to dislike you and blacklist you.
Despite this, you could forcefully stay in this world, but it wouldn’t conform to the rules of the chat group. Thus, though a bit helpless, you chose to return.
Due to your return, this simulation ended.
The text simulation stopped here, and Wang Ping felt a blur in his consciousness, returning to the real world.
‘Uh…’
Wang Ping’s expression turned a bit subtle.
It seemed like he had overdone it, getting expelled from this world…
‘Brother Wang, how did it go? Is the anomaly hard to deal with?’
Lin Yuanyuan asked worriedly, seeing Wang Ping’s subtle expression.
‘The anomaly isn’t too hard to handle… However, we don’t need to deal with it now.’
Wang Ping shook his head.
‘What do you mean?’
Lin Yuanyuan was puzzled.
‘Let’s go to the Upper Realm to gather some resources first. Perhaps this time, you can become a Saint directly.’
Wang Ping rubbed his chin and smiled.
‘Saint… Saint!?’
Lin Yuanyuan blinked in astonishment.
Even Brother Wang hasn’t achieved sainthood… Last time Brother Wang showed his cultivation, it was only at the True God Realm, with the combat power of the Divine Monarch Realm.
This time, she could directly become a saint? Lin Yuanyuan’s brain momentarily crashed.
“The saints of this world are quite weak. I can suppress him and then let you drain him dry.”
Wang Ping looked at Lin Yuanyuan and said casually.
“!!!”
Wang Ping’s words shocked Lin Yuanyuan once again.
Saints are very weak?
Suppress a saint?
Lin Yuanyuan opened her mouth and could only say dazedly: “Can it really be done?”
“Of course. After all, it’s just a saint. I can kill him on my own. However, relying solely on my strength to suppress him would be a bit difficult… I’d need external resources.”
Wang Ping said it very casually.
As long as he brought out the Supreme Artifact, Black Abyss Demon Spear, it would be easy to suppress this world’s inferior version of a saint.
Then, let Lin Yuanyuan drain the saint, and she would become the second most powerful in the chat group, right after him.
Perhaps, she could soon assist him with a few things.
After all, once she reached the power level of a saint, even if she was just at the baseline level, she would be powerful enough. Paired with Lin Yuanyuan’s ability, they could quickly roll the snowball.
“Brother Wang, you’re too strong!”
Lin Yuanyuan excitedly clenched her fists.
She originally thought the harvest this time would be the Divine Monarch Realm’s cultivation, but unexpectedly, it was sainthood.
This was really a sudden takeoff.
Sure enough, hugging Brother Wang’s thigh made her power soar!
“Don’t get too excited. We should start acting now. First, seal the anomaly until we can kill him at any time, then head to the Upper Realm.”
Wang Ping patted Lin Yuanyuan’s shoulder, signaling her not to get too excited.
Once Lin Yuanyuan calmed down, Wang Ping started to take her into action.
Soon, Wang Ping found the anomaly in the Lower Realm. Just like in the simulation, he casually suppressed and sealed him.
Under Wang Ping’s series of operations, the anomaly didn’t even have time to react and was sealed, falling into a slumber, ready to be killed by Wang Ping at any time.
Then, Wang Ping directly broke open the passage to the Upper Realm and took Lin Yuanyuan there.
The subsequent events were somewhat different from the Life Simulation, but not by much. Wang Ping was still solicited by various forces, just three months earlier.
During these three months, Wang Ping walked through this world with Lin Yuanyuan, helping her capture an evil Divine Monarch Realm Great Perfection cultivator to plunder his power.
After all, without the Divine Monarch Realm Great Perfection’s cultivation, even with Lin Yuanyuan’s quasi-immortal cultivation, she wouldn’t be able to approach the saint, even if Wang Ping suppressed him with the Supreme Artifact. Just the saint’s aura and internal erupting power would be enough to pulverize Lin Yuanyuan into dust.
“Unfortunately, the laws of this world are incomplete, affecting my cultivation. Although I can cultivate to the semi-saint or even saint level in this world, it’s much easier than in the Upper Realm where I reside… But such a sainthood would have a poor foundation and would affect my future cultivation path.”
Wang Ping opened his eyes, shook his head, and completely abandoned his plan to cultivate in this world.
Then, Wang Ping looked into the distance.
Just as Wang Ping gazed into the distance, a purple light pillar soared into the sky, breaking through the clouds. The terrifying energy formed an amazing phenomenon, causing countless cultivators to tremble and rush over.
Wang Ping also stood up with a smile.
Although he had long known the location of the divine source vein sealed deep underground, he intentionally waited until now.
After all, how could he execute a fishing enforcement operation if he didn’t? How could he reasonably eliminate a group of people and gain more benefits?
“Let’s go.”
Saying this, Wang Ping used his spatial divine abilities, taking Lin Yuanyuan with him as they disappeared.
In the next moment, Wang Ping and Lin Yuanyuan appeared above the divine source vein, seeing the enormous energy-filled divine source vein.
Not long after Wang Ping and Lin Yuanyuan arrived, powerful cultivators began to gather.
As in the Life Simulation, they were all Divine Monarchs, and there were even some semi-saints.
They all looked fanatically at the divine source vein, eager to immediately take action and dig it all up.
There were so many divine sources that they would be enough to make their respective factions the dominant powers, with an endless supply.
