228 – Threesome with Phoenix Girls???

When you chose to sell out your teammates, the natives acted again, collectively burning their essence, especially the one who comprehended the Dao markings, burning the most fiercely.

At the same time the natives were burning their essence, they also used a certain secret technique, uniting their strength to make the formation unleash terrifying power.

Faced with this situation, even Qin Yue’s expression changed drastically, not expecting that these natives would be so ruthless, burning their essence just to suppress her.

Just as Qin Yue was hesitating whether to burn her own essence to resist, she already lost her hope of escape. Hesitate, and you will lose!

With the sudden change in the formation, transforming from a Killing Formation to a Binding Formation and Illusion Formation, Qin Yue was directly captured alive by these natives.

Next, these natives laughed heartily. Although they paid a huge price, burning more than half of their essence, as long as they could capture Qin Yue, this fat sheep, it was all worth it.

Then, these natives tied up Qin Yue and quickly brought her here, heading towards their tribe.

In response, you remained indifferent, quickly following with Huang Qing and Huang Yin. Because you had mastered the Spacetime Dao to a terrifying level, no one could detect your tailing.

Soon, you followed these people to a certain tribe and witnessed a shocking scene.

You found that this tribe had millions of people. Although not all of them were at the Saint Realm, there were tens of thousands of Saint Realm experts.

This was just one tribe. You couldn’t imagine how many Saint Realm experts would be in all the native tribes combined in the entire secret realm. It was truly a case of Saints not being worth much, and Saint Kings walking everywhere.

Next, you used an Array Breaking Talisman that could easily break the formation without alerting the formation controller. This Array Breaking Talisman was an ultra-advanced item that you had prepared for this very situation, far surpassing the one you obtained on the Great Origin Ancient Star.

After blending into the tribe, no one detected your presence. You continued to tail the team that captured Qin Yue, entering the deepest part of the tribe.

However, when you reached the deepest part, you were discovered.

A figure shrouded in black mist noticed you, with a cold gaze, suddenly attacking the spacetime you were in.

This made your expression change, and you unhesitatingly chose to flee with Huang Qing and Huang Yin.

You did not fear this suspected mastermind but being in the enemy’s stronghold, even if you could go all out, you might still die here.

Tens of thousands of Saint Realm experts who comprehended the Great Perfection laws forming a terrible Killing Formation could easily kill a Supreme. Quantity brings about a qualitative change; this was no joke.

Moreover, dragging it out would draw in other tribal experts, which would be a horrifying situation.

Seeing you escape, the person in the black mist snorted coldly and chased after you, using spacetime Divine Abilities no less than yours. In fact, his spacetime Divine Abilities were stronger than yours.

This made your pupils contract in shock. As a result, you dared not stay and quickly fled further. The opponent relentlessly pursued.

Eventually, you were caught. He had no intention to speak, directly unleashing spacetime dual Dao markings to launch a fierce attack on you.

In response, you looked serious, without any carelessness, choosing to fight back brutally.

However, the combat prowess of the figure in the black mist was too strong. Even using your strongest abilities, you were still suppressed. Helplessly, you used the golden talent: Multiple Symphony, hoping to trigger more than fourfold attacks and crits to turn the tide.

But this time, you were unlucky, and you didn’t trigger high multiples of Multiple Symphony and crits.

Consequently, you proficiently decided to use the combo of the Golden Talent: Damage Nullification and Purple Talent: Divine Ability Nullification to land a fatal blow. This tactic had previously been very effective.

But this time, because your opponent was more proficient in the Dao of Spacetime and highly cautious, your tactic didn’t work for the first time. This gave you quite a headache.

Furthermore, what frustrated you more was the trigger mechanism of the seven-colored talent: Instant Death Attack. Despite high-frequency attacks, it never triggered effectively.

You even suspected that this ability didn’t carry its effect on every attack but had prerequisites.

The prerequisite being the stronger the enemy, the lower the trigger probability. Also, your attack needed to hit the enemy and inflict damage to have a chance of triggering. Otherwise, if your attacks missed or only scratched the surface, it was useless.

In other words, although the seven-colored talent: Instant Death Attack was a rule-level talent, its triggering prerequisites were numerous, unlike what you initially thought, allowing you to easily kill opponents far stronger than you.

To kill strong opponents, the only way was for these strong opponents to underestimate you, and after you nullified their Divine Abilities, land a powerful blow to break their defense. Once the defense was broken, a small probability of triggering could let you turn the tables.

As for dealing with same-realm cultivators or slightly stronger enemies, it was very effective since you could play tricks with spacetime Divine Abilities and breaking defenses was easy. Just keep attacking, and sooner or later, it would trigger.

Of course, this premise was that the enemy wasn’t cautious or highly sensitive, otherwise, dealing with an opponent like the one shrouded in black mist would still be very troublesome, leaving you to hope for good luck in triggering during rare breaks in their defense.

Damn, I knew it wouldn’t be that simple. This seven-colored talent: Instant Death Attack isn’t as strong as I thought. Though it still ranks among the seven-colored talents, it falls short compared to the seven-colored talent: Growing Stronger by Accepting Disciples.

Wang Ping looked at the Life Simulator’s content, sighing in his heart.

Then, Wang Ping thought of the person shrouded in darkness, frowning.

This supposed mastermind had comprehended the Spacetime Dao markings before him and had a higher mastery of the Spacetime Dao than he did, something Wang Ping never expected.

He could understand it because he had the Spacetime Dao Body, but how could this person be stronger than him?

It was incomprehensible.

Could it be that he is the rightful bearer of the Spacetime Dao Body in this world, unlike me, the impostor?

As thoughts swirled in Wang Ping’s mind, the simulation continued.

【Just as your mind was filled with numerous thoughts, you were found and struck by a powerful blow from the shadow in the black mist. Although you responded promptly, you still suffered significant injuries.】

【This provoked you, making you no longer hold back. You directly burned your essence, activating the Purple Talent: Substitute Puppet effect, and adopted a desperate fighting style, completely abandoning defense.】

【Your sudden change in fighting style surprised the figure under the black mist. Seizing this opportunity, you launched a frenzied attack, breaking through its defenses multiple times.】

【Although these breaches did not cause significant damage, the high frequency of attacks and numerous breaches gave you a chance to trigger the seven-colored talent: Instant Death Attack.】

【Ultimately, your gamble paid off. You successfully triggered the effect of the seven-colored talent: Instant Death Attack, slaying the figure under the black mist.】

【As the shadow under the black mist was killed, the black mist disappeared, revealing the figure’s appearance.】

【Beneath the black mist, he was dressed in a black robe and wore a black mask. Eyes shining with curiosity, you approached to remove the mask and see his true face. However, the moment you touched it, a terrifying explosion occurred, killing you instantly. If not for the Substitute Puppet absorbing the damage, you would have died, expending a Rebirth Talisman.】

【After the explosion, the masked man turned to ashes, his remains utterly destroyed, leaving you no chance to discover his identity.】

【This left you quite frustrated and regretful. However, this guy was extremely cautious, so such calculations were quite normal. You realized you had been a bit careless and should have had a native remove the mask.】

【Although you didn’t learn the true identity of the figure under the black mist, you eventually killed him. With this dangerous individual dead, your current simulation should proceed more smoothly.】

【As for discovering this guy’s true identity, it can only wait until the next simulation. Although you think the chances of finding out next time are slim due to his calculated post-death explosion, you can only try gradually.】

【However, an unexpected situation occurred. Just as you were preparing to leave with Huang Yin and Huang Qing, more shadows under the black mist appeared, surrounding you.】

【This left you speechless. You didn’t expect so many figures under the black mist. It was clear that the masked man wasn’t the mastermind; he was just another pawn.】

【Even the pawn seemed to possess a Spacetime Dao Body and had comprehended Spacetime Dao markings. This figure was most likely the true owner of the Spacetime Dao Body destined to emerge in this era. The true mastermind behind this must be unimaginably terrifying.】

【For a moment, you felt as if you had touched upon some world-shattering secret, stepping into a fearsome existence’s plan in the Upper Realm.】

……

“This is more troublesome than I imagined…”

Wang Ping looked at the simulation’s content with a solemn expression.

If this was truly a scheme by some terrifying existence, who even subdued such an anomalous being, then the plot and motive behind it were truly horrifying.

This was undoubtedly a plan encompassing the entire Upper Realm, including all living beings and great emperors within it, rendering them mere pawns.

In other words, even if this time’s scheme failed and he didn’t capture all prodigies, there would always be another attempt.

Who could escape then?

“No, something’s not right.”

Suddenly, Wang Ping seemed to realize something, his pupils slightly contracting.

If the goal was to capture all prodigies and lay a plan across the Upper Realm, why target and kill him specifically, and even ambush him?

This behavior was vastly different from dealing with Qin Yue and the others, quite special treatment.

This seemed excessively strange.

“Could this mastermind be from the multiverse? Only an existence from the multiverse would know about resurrection and thus ambush me. That means he knows I come from the multiverse, and likely knows I’m from the chat group, targeting me specifically with no escape route.”

Many thoughts flashed through Wang Ping’s mind.

“This is truly troublesome, finding the truth is difficult. This simulation is likely doomed again.”

Wang Ping sighed, collected his thoughts, and continued to gaze at the screen.

【Facing such a situation, you had no choice but to prepare for a fierce battle with these formidable enemies. However, having exhausted your cards and them likely knowing the effect of the seven-colored talent: Instant Death Attack, you no longer had a guaranteed chance of victory.】

【As expected, just when you prepared for battle, they gave you no chance, forming a large formation, refusing to engage in a direct battle with you. These shadowy figures, though not as strong as the one you previously fought, were also quite formidable, each seeming to possess some powerful physique, developed to a minor success domain, not inferior to Qin Yue.】

【Facing such a combined formation, you found it difficult and could only struggle to hold your own. After all, having exhausted your cards and much of your mana in the previous battle, your current combat power was only a third of your peak strength.】

【Facing this situation, Huang Qing and Huang Yin realized the severity, understanding that they couldn’t let you shoulder the burden alone. Although shy, they were resolute in their decision.】

【They transmitted a message to you, asking if you could create a domain to evade attacks and sight, holding on for one hour, which would give you all a chance to turn the tables.】

【Hearing this, you were surprised but assured that you would try your best.】

【In the end, you used your powerful Spacetime Divine Abilities to create an area to ward off attacks, delay, and buy time.】

【Seeing you create such a domain, becoming pale in the process, Huang Qing and Huang Yin, though anxious and shy, became more determined and embraced you, starting to teach you their Pure Phoenix Clan’s top dual cultivation Emperor’s scripture.】 ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

【Witnessing this, you were utterly astonished, realizing what Huang Qing and Huang Yin intended to do.】

【However, you are not someone who hesitates. You began practicing the emperor’s technique taught by the two and commenced dual cultivation with Huang Qing and Huang Yin, seizing every minute.】

【Finally, you successfully obtained the Phoenix Power from Huang Qing and Huang Yin, these two pureblood phoenixes, gaining a portion of their pureblood essence. (TN: At the same time?!)】

【With the help of a portion of the pureblood essence from the two phoenixes, you restored the foundational injuries you had sustained and went further, obtaining extraordinary recovery abilities and the power of Phoenix Nirvana Rebirth. Moreover, you also gained a physique comparable to a top-tier Sacred Body, the Phoenix Body.】

【Additionally, if it weren’t for the fact that Huang Qing and Huang Yin’s cultivation levels were too low and hadn’t yet matured, along with your cultivation being too high, your cultivation would also have significantly improved.】

【This, of course, is because you do not possess the power of dragon blood. If you had potent dragon blood, it would present a prosperous scene of dragon and phoenix harmony, providing you with greater benefits.】

【It can only be said that the benefits of dual cultivating with pureblood phoenixes are tremendously great, which is also the reason for those prodigies’ fervor. And you, having obtained two at once, are enough to invoke the envy, jealousy, and hatred of countless prodigies.】

【During this dual cultivation process, Huang Qing and Huang Yin also gained substantial benefits, with their cultivation levels advancing to the Great Perfection of the Saint King Realm. If it weren’t for the secret realm’s limitations, they could likely reach the half-step Great Saint level directly, and even the Great Saint level wouldn’t be impossible.】

【Their special laws of fire also surged to the Great Perfection level during this exchange.】

【It can only be said that the first union of pureblood phoenixes, with a half-step Supreme like you, and utilizing the top-notch dual cultivation emperor’s techniques, yielded tremendous benefits.】

【As your dual cultivation concluded and both parties reaped vast benefits, the spacetime defense you arranged began to waver and showed signs of collapsing.】

【In response, a cold gleam appeared in your eyes as you let out a cold snort, determined to eradicate them completely. If you were in a weakened state, naturally, you would feel doomed. However, having now returned to full strength, and further, gaining such strong endurance and recovery abilities, even with a formation, these figures did not stand a chance of killing you.】

【These black shadows, in the end, are not as formidable as the previous one suspected of possessing the Spacetime Dao Body. Even if they set up a formation together, it’s not enough to kill.】

【At this moment, Huang Qing and Huang Yin, with flushed cheeks, gathered their feelings and prepared to fight alongside you. Although they felt their combat power still lagged far behind yours, they decided to contribute whatever help they could. They didn’t want to become useless, burdensome phoenix twin sisters to their Dao companion.】

【As the spacetime defense completely collapsed, the three of you successively launched attacks, initiating your counterstrike.】

【This sight startled the black shadows; they hadn’t expected you to recover to your prime, and even seem to have grown stronger, considerably increasing their pressure.】

【However, these individuals were also ruthless characters. Without a word, they began burning their essence more fiercely to continue strengthening the formation’s lethality.】

【In response, you sneered and similarly began burning your essence. Pureblood phoenixes differ from other races?in burning their essence, they can self-recover, though, opportunities to recover burned essence are rare. For a half-step Supreme to restore his essence, it’s even rarer. But pureblood phoenixes possess the ability of Nirvana Rebirth, enabling them to burn essence and recover over time.】

【Therefore, pureblood phoenixes’ combat methods are notoriously ferocious, often resorting to burning their essence in battle. Having merged with Huang Yin and Huang Qing, you gained a portion of their essence and the purest pureblood phoenix blood, carrying the ability to self-recover essence through Nirvana Rebirth. So, you can burn your essence in battle recklessly, a luxurious fighting strategy envied by other cultivators.】

【As for Huang Yin and Huang Qing, they, too, began burning their essence in battle, even more ferociously than you. As genuine pureblood phoenixes, their recovery abilities naturally surpassed yours, rendering their battle methods even more lavish.】

【Seeing you start burning your essence in battle, these black shadowy figures were all taken aback, becoming anxious and quite distressed. After all, you are their prey, and your essence is what their master needs. They can’t afford to waste it. Burning your essence means burning their profits.】

…

“Are these guys after our essence? Who exactly is their master? Why does he need the essence of prodigies?”

Wang Ping looked at the content simulated by the text, his pupils slightly contracted, and his heart surged with turbulent thoughts, producing a conjecture.

Could it be that both the natives and these black shadowy figures are here for the prodigies’ essence?

Their master, could it be the Devouring Immortal Demon Body?

If it’s really the Devouring Immortal Demon Body, it would explain their bizarre behavior, as the Devouring Immortal Demon Body indeed requires the essence of prodigies.

The Devouring Immortal Demon Body, in theory, starts weak but has the strongest development potential.

This physique, as long as it devours enough potent essence, can possibly evolve into an immortal body or even the legendary Chaos Body.

The Chaos Body, a physique that surpasses all others, is legendary even in the Upper Realm, with only rumors and no appearances yet recorded.

“However, if their master is really the Devouring Immortal Demon Body and is here for the essence, then his cultivation level likely isn’t as terrifying as I imagined. Because, with such capabilities, there would be no need to scheme against prodigies; rather, he could directly attack Supreme Quasi-Emperors or even Emperors of that level.”

Wang Ping’s eyes deepened.

After all, the best target for essence absorption is an entity not much weaker than oneself.

Otherwise, it’s like a drop of water falling into a river—essentially useless.

Hence, while keeping one’s cultivation at a low level, capturing prodigies of similar levels all at once presents a chance to refine the desired immortal or Chaos Body.

Additionally, prodigies are ultimately young compared to those ancient beings who have already matured, making them easier to deal with.

In combination with the current golden age, where the quality and quantity of newly emerging prodigies surpass those of the older generations significantly.

Although annihilating so many prodigies at once would infuriate all the factions, as long as the job is done cleanly and the mastermind remains hidden, one could protect oneself.

When that time comes, even the enraged factions would only be angrily helpless.

“However, in this lifetime, will there really be two Devouring Immortal Demon Bodies simultaneously?”

Wang Ping recalled Lin Qinghe and couldn’t help but frown.

Lin Qinghe possesses the Devouring Immortal Demon Body, and theoretically, there shouldn’t be another one, as this type of special physique has always been unique throughout history.

“Lin Qinghe was born in the Era of the End of Dharma, but that other person might not be. They could be a self-sealed genius from a more distant era, who recognized the uniqueness of this Golden Age, and has grand designs because of it.”

Wang Ping silently analyzed.

“Although my conjecture is logical and well-founded, it is still just a hypothesis. To determine if it’s true, I need to gather more information. If I don’t catch this guy, the subsequent simulations will likely end in various deaths due to his schemes…”

Wang Ping sighed, feeling extremely vexed.

“However, this time I dual cultivated with both Huang Yin and Huang Qing, gaining such substantial benefits. It was an unexpected development. I wonder if these benefits can appear in the reward list…”

Wang Ping recalled the affairs with Huang Qing and Huang Yin, feeling quite conflicted.

Dual cultivation and the joys of intimacy… It had been quite a while.

“But the law of inevitable demise for Dao companions… Ultimately, it ends in death.”

Wang Ping shook his head slightly, having little hope for the upcoming simulation.

Afterward, Wang Ping calmed his mind and continued to stare at the screen.

【At this moment, you, Huang Yin, and Huang Qing’s joint attacks grew even fiercer, attempting to break open this terrifying grand formation. Your attacks were quite effective; the grand formation began to wobble, and the black shadows burning their essence couldn’t stabilize it. They ultimately couldn’t endure as long as you all could.】

【Just as you were about to break through the formation and escape, what happened next made you silent. More black fog silhouettes arrived here, along with many locals. This situation could be described as hopeless.】

【However, you are not one to give up easily. With a fierce resolve, you used a forbidden ultimate move that exacts a heavy price, attacking the formation.】

【Then, severely wounded to the point even your Phoenix power couldn’t recover in a short time, you used your last resort, employing Spacetime Divine Ability to transfer Huang Qing and Huang Yin, the pure-blooded Phoenix sisters who had shared intimacy with you, to a random location within the secret realm.】

【Although you knew transferring them briefly only gave them a slim chance of survival, you hated seeing your Dao companions die in front of you.】

【As you used your last strength to transfer Huang Yin and Huang Qing, the black fog silhouettes’ attacks pierced through your body.】

【In response, you laughed heartily and self-detonated.】

【The terrifying explosion caused significant disarray among the group, with some deaths. You then fell into a countdown resurrection state.】

【While waiting for your resurrection, the group guarded your death point, setting up an even more terrifying formation, giving you no chance of survival.】

【Upon revival, seeing the more terrifying grand formation, you felt desolate, knowing you were doomed today.】

【However, you still didn’t plan to give up. Though weakened after revival, you still fought desperately to the death.】

【Ultimately, you died within the grand formation, completely perishing.】

【Due to your death, this simulation ends here…】

As the text simulation ended, countless scenes and insights flashed through Wang Ping’s mind.

Finally, his figure appeared within the secret realm, observing from a god’s view the black fog silhouettes and locals.

But there wasn’t much to see. Just as Wang Ping was about to exit this state, he suddenly noticed a severely injured black fog silhouette, wounded by his prior self-detonation.

The black fog around her had vanished, and her mask was badly cracked, revealing a smooth forehead.

On her forehead was an exceptionally mystical white moon mark, very beautiful. Looking closely, one could see the moon mark was composed of smaller diamonds.

Wang Ping’s eyes widened slightly at that mark.

In the Upper Realm, certain techniques, upon completion, produced unique marks; this was not surprising.

However, among the myriad marks, only a few were memorable.

One of these was the Moon Diamond Emperor Scripture from the Moon Diamond Emperor Palace.

The Moon Diamond Emperor Scripture was exceptionally difficult to master. Once deeply cultivated, it would condense such a mark on the forehead.

Thus, this mark was a distinctive sign of a descendant or significant figure from the Moon Diamond Emperor Palace, nearly impossible to counterfeit.

“This woman, is she from the Moon Diamond Emperor Palace? Did she also join forces with that behind-the-scenes mastermind?”

Wang Ping’s heart was wildly shaking, unable to calm down.

No, that can’t be right. There is no female Emperor Daughter in the current Moon Diamond Emperor Palace.

As for the previous generation, although there was an Emperor Daughter, she disappeared long ago. The great figures of the Moon Diamond Emperor Palace deduced and found that she had long perished, completely fallen…

Regarding the question of whether the Moon Diamond Emperor Scripture’s lineage was leaked, it was impossible.

Every Emperor Scripture had special contingency measures to effectively prevent lineage leaks.

Unless a clan member deliberately leaked it, or something extraordinary happened, it was difficult to leak out.

Scripts like the Dao Palace’s Emperor Scripture and the Incinerating Heaven Emperor’s Scripture only appear as chaotic leaks when they fall into decline.

Such things don’t happen to emperor-level forces that have an emperor overseeing them and are in their prime.

Especially for an entity like the Moon Lings Empire Palace. It’s rumored that to master the Moon Lings Emperor’s Scripture, one must meet a special prerequisite that only the Moon Lings Empire Palace can fulfill.

Because of this, very few within the Moon Lings Empire Palace can practice and master the Moon Lings Emperor’s Scripture, making it impossible for its legacy to leak.

“But then, what’s with this woman? Could it be that the Moon Lings Empire Palace is involved, supporting the mastermind from behind the scenes? Perhaps this woman is their secret protégé…”

“If that’s the case, are the other Black Mist prodigies also raised by other great forces? Are they also supporters of that individual?”

Wang Ping’s expression fluctuated unpredictably, his mind not at peace.

If this is true, the intrigue in the Upper Realm is far deeper than he ever imagined.

The schemes of these old monsters evoke a chill just by thinking about them.

For a moment, Wang Ping wasn’t sure how many forces and emperors were the ones playing chess behind the scenes.

While Wang Ping’s heart was thrown into disarray, his consciousness flickered, shifting his vision and exiting the simulated state.

Immediately after, the system’s voice rang out.

“Ding, rewards have been successfully generated. The host may choose two rewards from the following options:

①. Half-step Supreme-level cultivation.”

②. Seven-colored talent: Instant Death Attack.”

③. A random Supreme Artifact.”

④. Red talent: Wood Profound Body.”

…

Wang Ping glanced at the reward list and made his choice without hesitation.

“System, I choose ①. Half-step Supreme-level cultivation and ②. Seven-colored talent: Instant Death Attack.”

As Wang Ping made his selection, he felt his cultivation level begin to surge.

Great Saint Realm level nine!

Great Perfection of the Great Saint Realm!

In terms of mana, he finally reached the half-step Supreme class, incomparably powerful!

Additionally, the method for using the seven-colored talent: Instant Death Attack appeared in Wang Ping’s mind, making him realize that this talent was not as mighty as he had initially imagined as it required dealing damage to trigger the instant death effect.

Of course, this talent was far from weak and could indeed bring about miracles.

Without this talent, defeating the contemporary Spacetime Dao Body who condensed dual Dao markings of space and time would have been impossible.

“Phew, overall, this simulation has yielded significant gains. But I wonder if it’s necessary to continue down this simulated path?”

Wang Ping exhaled lightly, quite satisfied with his gains.

However, he started to feel conflicted again.

Based on the intelligence gathered so far, this was not a path he could intervene in.

Although most of the so-called intelligence was his own speculation, his conjectures were often accurate.

So, whether to waste a paid simulation to dig deeper is a question worth pondering.

“I might try using the free simulation to gather intelligence. However, for now, no matter what approach I take, it would be futile unless I get another talent that greatly aids in combat. Going in means certain death.”

Wang Ping shook his head slightly, mumbling to himself.

Superior to the Supreme figures cannot enter, and those below Supreme can’t deal with the black mist or local forces.

“Although I could try bringing Cai Yonglong and the other group members here to tackle the dungeon together, this peculiar secret realm is toxic. It not only has a cultivation limit but probably also has certain requirements in the aspect of luck, which the group members evidently don’t meet.”

Wang Ping sighed again, rendering his usual strategy of rallying group members to tackle dungeons and bosses ineffective, nullifying a significant trump card.

This secret realm must have been intentionally set up this way by those masterminds.

As for why the follower of Qin Yue and the prisoner captured by the Qin family could enter at first, it was obviously by the other party’s design. They wouldn’t have let them in otherwise.

“Still, whether there is a luck prerequisite needs to be tested. Even though I sensed it somewhat during the entry process, it might have been a misperception.”

Wang Ping’s gaze flickered, planning to use the free simulation to explore the way.

Soon, Wang Ping took action.

Then, nothing else happened. He pulled Lin Yuanyuan and Cai Yonglong over, only to get stuck outside.

In the simulation, Wang Ping met misfortune again without external help.

“Forget it, forget it. No need to be stubborn. I should change the simulation path, develop quietly, and work hard to become stronger.”

Wang Ping shook his head, not bothering to think about these things anymore.

“System, I want to conduct a paid simulation.”

Then, Wang Ping spoke again.

“Ding, detected that the host’s cultivation has reached the Great Perfection of the Great Saint Realm. The cost for this paid simulation is 4,000,000 jins of upper-grade divine sources or 400,000 jins of top-grade divine sources. Would you like to proceed with the expense immediately?”

The System’s voice sounded.

This greatly surprised Wang Ping.

“Eh, it only considers me to be at the Great Perfection of the Great Saint Realm? I’m practically half a half-step Supreme now.”

Wang Ping was quite surprised after hearing the System’s quote.

“If I choose to exploit this bug, I can save some divine sources. However, there’s no need for that. If I can become stronger faster, it’s naturally better to get stronger quickly.”

Wang Ping’s eyes flickered as he thought to himself.

Then, Wang Ping smiled slightly and said, “System, spend the divine sources and start the simulation.”

“Ding, 4,000,000 upper-grade divine sources consumed, Life Simulator activated, paid simulation starting, talent refreshing…”

The System’s voice rang out once more.

“Ding, talent refresh successful. Congratulations to the host for successfully refreshing the golden talent: Life-for-Life; red talent: Thunder Mystic Body.”

Golden Talent: Life-for-Life: After using this talent, the host can forcefully exchange lives with an enemy, perishing together.

PS: This talent can only be used below the Supreme Realm. Please be mindful, host.

“Golden Talent: Life-for-Life… isn’t this just an upgraded version of the purple talent: Substitute Puppet, or an optimized version of the purple talent: Destiny Connection?”

Looking at this newly refreshed talent, Wang Ping couldn’t help but complain a bit.

If this talent had appeared earlier, it would definitely have been highly useful.

However, his current cultivation level was almost at the half-step Supreme stage; few individuals could force him to use this talent.

As for the Supreme Realm, this talent was useless.

It was like something that was tasteless to eat yet a pity to discard.

“Maybe not necessarily. If the cultivation of that Devouring Immortal Demon Body is still below the Supreme Realm, I could use this to perish together with him.”

Wang Ping’s eyes flickered as he thought of this point.

Wang Ping was still somewhat apprehensive about that Devouring Immortal Demon Body, having no doubt about his combat power.

After all, even the combat power of the present-day Spacetime Dao Body had surpassed his. It was only thanks to the instant death effect of his seven-colored talent that he had been able to kill that Spacetime Dao Body.

And that Spacetime Dao Body was just a subordinate of the Devouring Immortal Demon Body.

In the Upper Realm, how could a subordinate be stronger than their master?

Even if there were such cases, they were exceptions. This example was certainly not applicable here.

“Though it sounds good, the premise is being able to locate and engage him directly. Unfortunately, his black mist subordinates and native lackeys are too troublesome for me to handle.”

Wang Ping shook his head, unwilling to think further, and spoke.

“System, I choose the golden talent: Life-for-Life.”

“Ding, talent selection successful, life simulation commencing…”

The System’s voice rang out, and Wang Ping’s consciousness blurred, entering an immersive simulation state.

Then, on the screen, familiar words appeared…
