113 – The Sacred Heart Island Massacre! Breaking Through to the Profound Elixir Realm

【First day, you did not choose to flee but waited calmly for the strong to come to you. Once found, you launched an attack, slaughtering the various powerful figures of the Seven Star Archipelago. Seven Star Palace Ancestor Nangong Yun appeared and fought fiercely with you, but you ruthlessly used a killer move, easily striking him down.】

【Next, you returned to the Seven Star Archipelago, mercilessly annihilating the Seven Star Palace and other forces, slaughtering all their disciples and ravaging their treasure vaults.】

【Then, you went back to the Profound Turtle Continent, seeking the demonic legacy there. You headed straight to the depths of the Black Wind Forest, found the Demon Cavern, and met a terrifying demonic cultivator.】

【The demonic cultivator noticed your demonic aptitude and was very surprised. Without saying much, you directly stated your intention, hoping he would take you as a disciple and teach you demonic cultivation techniques. In return, you offered to help him refine his physical form anew.】

【The demonic cultivator readily agreed. After that, you ruthlessly left, massacred the Profound Turtle Continent, gathered large amounts of blood energy, and succeeded in releasing the demonic cultivator from the Demon Cavern.】

【He was very excited and resided within you, coexisting with you. Then, he told you his name: Blood Demon Yuan Feng. Upon hearing the name Blood Demon, you were surprised and recalled the Blood Demon Array, wondering if it was related to him.】

【Blood Demon Yuan Feng then taught you a powerful demonic cultivation technique, Heaven-Level High-Grade Demonic Art: Bloodthirsty Demon Art, which allows you to rapidly increase your cultivation by absorbing the essence blood and cultivation of others, and it can also devour the essence blood of others during combat, making it extremely anomalous. You remembered Mo Fan’s cultivation technique but realized that his technique was only Earth-Level Low-Grade and far inferior to the Bloodthirsty Demon Art.】

【You suspected that Mo Fan did not enter Yuan Feng’s eyes, so he only taught him low-level techniques. Meanwhile, your Blue Talent: Demonic Cultivation in Turbulent Times got you Yuan Feng’s attention.】

【Next, you practiced the demonic art, mercilessly devouring the living beings on the Profound Turtle Continent. Simultaneously, you recalled the unique nature of the people from Chi Village. Mercilessly, you quietly returned to Chi Village.】

【However, as soon as you saw the people of Chi Village, Yuan Feng acted as if he had seen a ghost and urgently urged you to stay away from them. Your heart was alarmed, and you quietly left without disturbing the Chi people.】

【You asked Yuan Feng why he feared the Chi people. Yuan Feng remained silent and did not provide an answer. Knowing you couldn’t get an answer, you didn’t ask further.】

【Then, you began to subtly question Yuan Feng about his cultivation during his peak. Yuan Feng told you that above the Profound Elixir Realm is the Yin-Yang Realm, and above the Yin-Yang Realm is the Life and Death Realm.】

【Yuan Feng, it turned out, was a mighty expert of the Life and Death Realm. Such cultivation, even in the Eastern Wilderness, is a figure of the sect master level. Even in the Holy Land, such a person would be an elder, commanding great respect and power.】

【You were astonished, not expecting Yuan Feng to be so formidable, a figure of the sect master level.】

【Next, you asked about the Profound Turtle Continent, curious if Yuan Feng knows the origin of the Profound Turtle and why the spiritual energy on the continent is so thin.】

【Yuan Feng explained that he does not know the exact origin of the Profound Turtle but only that it is an ancient, terrifying existence. As for the thin spiritual energy, it’s because each time the Profound Turtle breathes, it devours most of the spiritual energy within a certain range. Additionally, he caused chaos three thousand years ago, pushing the Profound Turtle Continent into a near-apocalyptic state.】

【Three thousand years ago, the cultivation world on the Profound Turtle Continent was quite prosperous, with astonishing legacies from various sects and families, many originating from the Eastern Wilderness. However, they seemed to have fled to the Profound Turtle Continent for some reason.】

【After acquiring demonic power and rising unexpectedly, Yuan Feng began treating the cultivators of the Profound Turtle Continent as blood food and grew stronger. Eventually, all the powerful cultivators of the continent paid a heavy price to seal him, resulting in severe loss of potent cultivators and resources, and some family legacies were ruined by him.】

【Upon learning this, you understood some hidden history of the Profound Turtle Continent, though many mysteries remain.】

【Next, without asking much more, you chose to leave the Profound Turtle Continent, as it was no longer a place conducive to your growth without strong cultivators. You needed to devour powerful cultivators to quickly grow stronger.】

【Returning to the Seven Star Archipelago, you began a spree of slaughter, killing many Transcendent Realm cultivators and devouring them. Then, you went to Storm Island and started a massacre there, spreading your notorious name, instilling fear in many cultivators.】

【Slaughtering all the way, you devoured strong cultivators, refining their souls into pure soul power. In just half a year, you reached the brink of the Profound Elixir Realm.】

【However, your cruel actions incited the wrath of many forces, and powerful cultivators from various islands began hunting you. Their cultivation was at least at the half-step Profound Elixir Realm, with many at the Profound Elixir Realm.】

【Despite this, you not only remained unflustered but laughed cruelly, engaging them in battle proactively and killing them one by one, devouring them. Even when facing opponents you couldn’t defeat, you had Blood Demon Yuan Feng to forcibly kill them.】

【As a result, your cultivation continued to soar, and Yuan Feng’s power grew stronger.】

【Finally, you reached your limit and were about to break through to the Profound Elixir Realm. However, Yuan Feng did not recommend breaking through immediately since the Profound Elixir Realm is particularly unique.】

【In the Profound Elixir Realm, spirit liquid within the body condenses into a Profound Elixir, also known as the Embryo of Dao. The Profound Elixir has different grades: below seven-grade is low-grade; four, five, and six are medium-grade; three, two, and one are top three grades. Additionally, there is the legendary Flawless Profound Elixir.】

【Different grades of the Profound Elixir greatly affect future achievements. Not just a vast difference in combat power at the same realm, but even achieving the climax of the Profound Elixir Realm could be an impossible dream for those with low-grade Profound Elixirs.】

【Only those who condense a medium-grade Profound Elixir have a chance to break through to the Yin-Yang Realm. Those who condense a top-grade Profound Elixir have hope of reaching the Life and Death Realm or higher.】

【Upon hearing Yuan Feng’s explanation, you understood and felt very fortunate to have a Life and Death Realm expert as your encyclopedia. Otherwise, you might have hit a bottleneck in cultivation, causing a stagnation at some stage.】

【Ultimately, Yuan Feng suggested slaughtering a large number of half-step Profound Elixir and Profound Elixir Realm experts to increase your foundation, thus breaking through and condensing a top three grade Profound Elixir.】

【You made the choice and went to Sacred Heart Island, causing a massive massacre there. Below the Profound Elixir Realm, no one was your match. Even Profound Elixir Realm experts were easily subdued and killed by Yuan Feng. Finally, you wiped out all the major forces on Sacred Heart Island.】

【You used their power to start breaking through to the Profound Elixir Realm. You attracted a terrifying tribulation and succeeded in condensing a three-grade Profound Elixir. Unsatisfied, you aimed to condense a first-grade Profound Elixir or even a Flawless Profound Elixir due to your great ambition.】

【However, Yuan Feng laughed at your idea. He said that even in his previous life, he only condensed a three-grade Profound Elixir. Successful condensation of a three-grade Profound Elixir is already commendable, as very few in this world achieve that, even among the great sects, only sect master-level figures managed that in their youth.】

【Disregarding Yuan Feng’s mockery, you planned to head to the Eastern Wilderness, starting a new journey, slaughtering more powerful cultivators to grow and reach higher realms.】

【However, before you could set off, a young man appeared before you, coldly pronouncing your death sentence.】

【You found it impossible to discern his cultivation, feeling grave. Yuan Feng’s expression changed drastically, recognizing his identity from his robe. The young man was an inner disciple of the Heavenly Sword Holy Land.】

【The Heavenly Sword Holy Land, a power that must not be provoked. Even Life and Death Realm experts are considered ants before it. Once you provoke the Holy Land, escaping to the world’s end would be futile as they have many means to find you.】
【Therefore, the Blood Demon Yuan Feng lent you power without hesitation, allowing you to swiftly escape from here without engaging in a direct confrontation.】

【You understood this point naturally and chose to flee without hesitation. However, the inner disciple of the Heavenly Sword Holy Land was not willing to let you go, erupting with the terrifying cultivation of the third level of the Profound Elixir Realm and charging at you.】

【You were shocked, not expecting that even an inner disciple of the Heavenly Sword Holy Land would have such fearsome cultivation. The Blood Demon Yuan Feng explained. The Heavenly Sword Holy Land is an ancient and prestigious holy land, ranking firmly in the top ten among holy land-level factions. Naturally, its inner disciples are terrifyingly strong. Almost all who become inner disciples of the Heavenly Sword Holy Land possess Profound Elixir Realm cultivation.】

【However, the Blood Demon Yuan Feng specifically reminded you that this inner disciple doesn’t belong to the ordinary tier of inner disciples within the Heavenly Sword Holy Land; he is exceedingly powerful. Moreover, he is secretly guarded by a stronger cultivator, making it more troublesome. Otherwise, Yuan Feng could easily kill him.】

【You were filled with dread, knowing that the guardian of a Profound Elixir Realm prodigy would be terrifyingly powerful. As a result, you used a secret technique to forcibly enhance your strength and speed, hoping to escape the pursuit.】

【But the hidden guardian finally made his move. With a casual strike, he sent you flying, grievously injured. Seeing this, the Blood Demon Yuan Feng betrayed you without hesitation and fled swiftly, disappearing without a trace.】

【In response, the guardian sneered and chased after Yuan Feng, disappearing as well. Seeing this, you realized you might die here. However, you did not give up and took the opportunity to self-destruct without hesitation.】

【The inner disciple of the Heavenly Sword Holy Land did not expect you to self-destruct so decisively, leaving him in a somewhat miserable state but completely unharmed.】

【Due to the Rebirth Talisman, you were resurrected. Seeing that the inner disciple was completely unharmed, you were shocked. Then, you self-destructed again, not giving him or the guardian a chance to capture you alive.】

【Due to your death, this simulation ends】

“This time, I really reached the Profound Elixir Realm, and I learned its secrets. But due to my overly ruthless actions, I inevitably attracted the attention of the Heavenly Sword Holy Land.”

Wang Ping looked at the content of the simulation and couldn’t help but sigh.

Relying on the Blue Talent, he had anticipated the possibility of achieving the condition of having a demon-cultivating elder by his side.

Becoming a Profound Elixir Realm expert was also something he had considered.

However, he did not expect to attract the attention of the Heavenly Sword Holy Land so quickly.

Without a doubt, once the Heavenly Sword Holy Land learned about the overseas incidents, they issued a holy land mission.

Or perhaps the various island factions reported the news and issued the mission.

Then, such a situation arose.

Being pursued by an inner disciple of the Heavenly Sword Holy Land was tolerable.

But the fact that the disciple also had a guardian was truly ridiculous.

No, it wasn’t exactly ridiculous.

Given the intelligence network of the Heavenly Sword Holy Land, they would naturally know about him having a powerful soul by his side and would send strong individuals in response.

While Wang Ping was pondering, his vision also changed.

The scene before him turned into one of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

In his vision, the Wang Ping he saw was extremely ruthless, filled with terrifying blood energy, standing on top of the mountain of corpses and sea of blood, undergoing a tribulation.

Shortly after successfully passing the tribulation, he encountered the inner disciple of the Heavenly Sword Holy Land.

Then, he saw the scene of being chased to death.

He just didn’t know if the Blood Demon Yuan Feng had successfully escaped.

“Ding, the rewards are successfully generated. The host can choose one of the following as a reward:

1. Heaven-level high-grade martial arts: Blood Demon Nine Shadow Sword.
2. First level cultivation of the Profound Elixir Realm.
3. Blue Talent: Demonic Cultivation in Turbulent Times.
4. Combat experience.”

“Amazing, so many good things.”

Wang Ping looked at the rewards, his eyes flickering.

Cultivation of the Profound Elixir Realm was definitely not an option. That was cultivated through demonic cultivation.

If chosen, he would have to follow the path of demonic cultivation.

Moreover, the Profound Elixir condensed this time was only of third grade.

Although third grade was already very good, being one of the top three grades, Wang Ping was very strict with himself.
Since I am going to break through, I should condense the strongest Profound Elixir.

I won’t aim for a flawless elixir, but at least it should be first grade.

Of course, if I can condense a flawless Profound Elixir, that would be the best.

Otherwise, in the future, Wang Ping might get stuck at a certain realm, unable to ascend to the highest level.

“Blue Talent: Demonic Cultivation in Turbulent Times, even though it is a rare blue talent, I can’t choose it. Once chosen, my nature would be affected, becoming ruthless and merciless, killing without hesitation… At that time, would I still be myself? Moreover, acting in such a cold-blooded manner would make it too easy to get killed.”

Wang Ping once again passed on the blue talent.

As for combat experience, it wasn’t even something to consider.

Finally, Wang Ping looked at the heaven-grade superior martial technique: Blood Demon Nine Shadow Sword.

This time, he was chosen by Blood Demon Yuan Feng because he picked a blue talent.

Next time, without this talent, the other party definitely wouldn’t pay attention to him, let alone teach him martial arts… The chance of being devoured by him would be much higher.

In other words, if he didn’t pick this martial technique this time, he wouldn’t get another chance… Who knows how many more simulations it would take for this reward to appear again.

“Heaven-grade superior martial technique, very good and tempting, but what I really want is the heaven-grade superior cultivation method: Bloodthirsty Demon Art… Unfortunately, it didn’t appear.”

Wang Ping sighed inwardly.

A heaven-grade superior martial technique is undoubtedly powerful, but what he needed most was not this.

The heaven-grade superior cultivation method: Bloodthirsty Demon Art, is what he desired.

Although he wouldn’t practice it easily, using it in life simulations to explore new paths would be an excellent choice.

The System didn’t refresh it, causing him great frustration.

“System, I choose option ①.”

Wang Ping could only say silently in his heart.

In an instant, numerous pieces of information appeared in Wang Ping’s mind.

It was the practice method for the heaven-grade superior martial technique: Blood Demon Nine Shadow Sword.

“This Blood Demon Nine Shadow Sword can split the sword into nine shadows, each shadow carrying a corroding effect on Spiritual Essence… Quite domineering.”

After absorbing the information, Wang Ping murmured to himself.

A heaven-grade superior martial technique, even in major sects, would be considered a guarded secret.

Although he didn’t get the heaven-grade superior cultivation method: Bloodthirsty Demon Art, Blood Demon Yuan Feng had given him a great gift.

As long as he mastered the Blood Demon Nine Shadow Sword, his combat power would increase significantly, serving as a crucial trump card.

“Besides, I never expected the truth behind the scarce spiritual energy in the Profound Turtle Continent to be like this. The Profound Turtle’s breaths devour spiritual energy, coupled with Blood Demon Yuan Feng’s rampage three thousand years ago.”

Wang Ping recalled the contents of the simulation, his heart filled with awe.

However, those powerful sects and families that once existed on the Profound Turtle Continent… They actually came from the Eastern Wilderness?

He wondered why they fled to the Profound Turtle Continent.

Perhaps, they had some connection with the true descendants of sinners.

Sadly, much of this vanished into history, making it hard to uncover the truth.

“Heavenly Sword Holy Land… If I could join such a force, I wouldn’t be so exhausted. Unfortunately, the aura of the Profound Turtle would make those big figures assume I’m a descendant of sinners… They would attack me on sight. Going there would be suicidal.”

With that, Wang Ping sighed regretfully.

If he could join such a Holy Land, he would receive the most complete and powerful cultivation method inheritance, along with the strongest master’s guidance and protection in practice.

With such conditions, what would he have to worry about? How could he need to live such a wandering life, always fearing that having a rare seven-grade soul-nourishing herb would attract a Profound Elixir Realm expert, who would kill him for it?

Unfortunately, in this world, there’s no ‘what if’.

He could only advance with difficulty as a loose cultivator.
