125 – Double Red Talents! First-grade Profound Elixir!

“Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully refreshing Red Talent: True Dragon Form; Red Talent: Unstable Evolver; and Green Talent: Formation Genius.”

Red Talent: True Dragon Form: Those who possess this talent will have bone structure and aptitude on par with the true disciples of the holy lands!
Red Talent: Unstable Evolver: After acquiring this talent, the host has a low probability of triggering evolution options under certain circumstances, whether it be for weapons, techniques, physique, or the Profound Elixir. However, the direction of evolution may be positive or negative.

Green Talent: Formation Genius: With this talent, the host will gain very powerful formation abilities.

“Holy crap!”

Wang Ping was stunned by the talents refreshed this time.

He never would have thought that he would refresh red talents this time.

Moreover, it’s not just one red talent, but two!

His luck seemed to have made a comeback, reaching a peak of fortune!

Furthermore, these two red talents seemed highly impressive.

Red Talent: True Dragon Form, is a type that enhances bone structure and aptitude, essentially an evolved version of Blue Talent: Hidden Dragon Form.

According to the System, possessing such a talent, even in the holy lands, is at least on the level of a true disciple.

In other words, in terms of bone structure and aptitude, with this red talent, he will no longer be inferior to the many true disciples of the major holy lands, meaning he no longer has a significant weakness.

With this red talent, plus having obtained such a good item as the Nirvana Fruit, Wang Ping felt that his chances of condensing a Grade One Profound Elixir had exponentially increased.

If he could condense a Grade One Profound Elixir, and then use his accumulated points to upgrade it to a flawless Profound Elixir… Then, in terms of foundation alone, he was confident that in the entire Purple Spirit Realm, there would not be more than a handful of prodigies who could match him.

Although the Profound Elixir Realm is just one stage in the path of cultivation, and does not necessarily mean he will surely become a great power or reach royal status in the future, being able to perfect his foundation at this stage was something to be proud of and gave him high hopes for the future.

At that time, he would be qualified to stand alongside peerless prodigies and compete with the monstrous talents of this era.

He might even become one of the main protagonists of this era, which was not impossible.

For a moment, Wang Ping felt elated, dreaming about the future.

In any case, Wang Ping never expected this red talent would come so timely.

This time, he really had extraordinary luck.

To the extent that he even directly ignored the usually greatly desired Green Talent: Formation Genius.

“But this Red Talent: Unstable Evolver…”

Wang Ping quickly calmed down and looked towards the second red talent.

Based on his experience from numerous simulations, he knew that these kinds of Golden Fingers with obvious side effects often had effects likely exceeding their grade.

For instance, the talent from the chaos of the demonic cultivation that last time brought him a demonic path talent definitely exceeded the normal blue grade. Otherwise, given his situation at the time, he would not have had the qualification to condense a Grade Three Profound Elixir.

“Evolution, huh… This reminds me of Wu Jun’s Talent: Unstable Element. However, Wu Jun’s Golden Finger is much more overpowered, capable of influencing countless probabilities. While this red talent can only trigger evolution options when obtaining new things, and the probability seems quite low.”

Wang Ping silently pondered.

Honestly speaking, in terms of lower limits, the Red Talent: Unstable Evolver should be completely inferior to the Red Talent: True Dragon Form.

But, if judged by the upper limits, Wang Ping believed the Red Talent: Unstable Evolver could significantly outshine the Red Talent: True Dragon Form.

This thing gives off the impression of being at least a purple-grade talent, only the low activation probability and the potential for negative effects are what classify it as red.

“This is really frustrating…”
Wang Ping smiled wryly.

Before, he couldn’t refresh a red talent.

Now, look at this… Two red talents at once, leaving him completely flabbergasted. It gave him choice paralysis.

“I can’t focus on immediate gains; I must look at the long-term benefits. The red talent: True Dragon Form is indeed impressive, allowing my potential to match that of the Holy Land’s true disciples. But what level of true disciples are we talking about? Even among true disciples, there are differences.”

Wang Ping took a deep breath, his gaze firmed up, and he made a decision.

“Judging by the blue talent: Hidden Dragon Form, I can reach the level of a major sect’s successor. But with my current potential, in a major sect, I might not be considered top-tier, probably just mid-level at best. So, it’s just an average value.”

“As I grow stronger, the red talent: True Dragon Form can be replaced. Various opportunities in the world can also enhance my potential. But this red talent: Unstable Evolver, if I don’t choose it, it might be gone forever!”

“So, there’s no need for me to hesitate any longer!”

“System, I choose the red talent: Unstable Evolver!”

Wang Ping took a deep breath and shouted in his mind.

“Ding, talent selection successful. Life simulation begins…”

As Wang Ping spoke, the System’s voice echoed again, the familiar screen appeared, and text began to flow.

【Day one, after calming down, you wanted to consume the Nirvana Fruit to break through to the Profound Elixir Realm. However, you suppressed this impulse and did not choose to force a breakthrough.】

【After calming down, you realized that breaking through now might only result in a second-grade Profound Elixir, not a first-grade. After all, your technique is only mid-tier Heaven level, which is still a bit behind the true inheritance techniques of the Holy Lands.】

【You thought of Ye Chen. If you could gain the technique of the Nirvana Realm inheritance that Ye Chen obtained, you might have a chance to further condense a first-grade Profound Elixir.】

【While doing this would undoubtedly waste decades of time, you can afford to wait. As long as you can condense a first-grade Profound Elixir, waiting decades is worth it.】

【Next, you started planning your actions. You did not intend to take Cai Yonglong to seek opportunities, nor did you plan to teach him demon techniques. You decided to wait until you became stronger before cultivating Cai Yonglong, otherwise it would be too unstable.】

【You treated Ye Chen particularly well, putting in all your effort to cultivate him, planning for the Nirvana Realm inheritance, decades down the line.】

【According to your memory, you let Ye Chen gain the Life and Death Realm inheritance in the Seventh Star Secret Realm, then parted ways. Although Ye Chen wanted to take you along, you chose to refuse.】

【In response, Ye Chen left you a part of the Life and Death Realm inheritance. You received a high-level Heaven rank martial skill: Starfall Slash, and a supreme secret technique, only available to Life and Death Realm experts. The supreme secret technique: Star Attraction, can multiply one’s power by drawing the power of starlight, with relatively minor side effects.】

【After receiving the Life and Death Realm inheritance from Ye Chen, you felt that years of fully supporting Ye Chen were the right decision. This time, Ye Chen’s attitude towards you was vastly different from what you remembered, treating you as a master, like Bai Tianhong.】

【Next, after parting ways, you began to meditate and train, cultivating new martial skills and the supreme secret technique.】

【Meanwhile, you and Cai Yonglong reached the Heavenly Sea Kingdom. Nearly twenty years passed in the blink of an eye. You already obtained a matching Profound Weapon, and everything was ready. However, this time you did not let Cai Yonglong enter the secret realm. You knew clearly that Cai Yonglong would meet a tragic end if he entered.】

【Though Cai Yonglong was somewhat unwilling, he knew that with his current strength, entering the secret realm would likely result in death rather than obtaining opportunities. So, he rationally chose to give up the journey to the Purple Moon Secret Realm.】

【After the Purple Moon Secret Realm opened, you ventured in. This time, you realized how dangerous it was and never sought opportunities, always proceeding cautiously, avoiding others whenever you sensed their presence, and never engaging too much.】

【Perhaps it was fate, but you met Ling Xue again. Knowing her character, you intended to befriend her. Ling Xue was very surprised and, seeing your extraordinary demeanor and strong aura, was willing to befriend you.】

【Ling Xue was astonished to know you were a rogue cultivator, surprised you had come this far. She invited you to join the Heavenly Sea Kingdom, promising that the ancestor would surely cultivate you, doing his best to help you condense a third-grade Profound Elixir. You tactfully declined.】

【Ling Xue was slightly disappointed but didn’t insist. Subsequently, you moved together, ensuring safety. This time, you also encountered Zhao Feng’s attack. Although your cultivation was much weaker than in your memory, you were prepared and did not let Ling Xue save you.】

【Ultimately, Ling Xue showed her might, killing Zhao Feng’s followers in one move and later suppressing Zhao Feng, ending the matter.】

【Days later, the Nirvana Realm inheritance and Nirvana Fruit emerged, triggering a shocking battle. You went to observe it. Ye Chen picked the fruit, and after bidding a worried Ling Xue goodbye, pursued him.】

【Ye Chen waited for you, puzzled as to why you had only half a step into the Profound Elixir Realm. You replied that you didn’t want to condense a third-grade or lower Profound Elixir. Ye Chen thought your idea was correct.】

【Afterward, you mentioned touching the Nirvana Fruit. Without suspecting you, Ye Chen let you touch it. Then, you planned to leave without mentioning obtaining the Nirvana Realm inheritance technique.】
However, Ye Chen stopped you and actively made a copy of the technique from the Nirvana Realm inheritance for you. It was a powerful technique called the Wind Thunder Technique, which allows one to control the power of wind and thunder, and is of the highest Heavenly grade. In addition, Ye Chen also gave you the Divine Ability: Wind Thunder Handprint from the Nirvana Realm inheritance.

You were shocked in your heart, not expecting it to be such a powerful Heavenly grade technique. You didn’t hypocritically refuse the technique and chose to accept it.

Goodness, Ye Chen, I really misunderstood you… Putting aside the Fated Lone Star fate, you are truly my lucky charm…

Wang Ping looked at the simulated content, his gaze becoming peculiar.

Ye Chen gave him the Nirvana Fruit and the inheritance of the Nirvana Realm. This generosity was simply overwhelming.

Without Ye Chen, Wang Ping felt that he didn’t know how long he would have to struggle to condense a First-grade Profound Elixir.

Perhaps, in the end, he could only condense a Third-grade Profound Elixir, and then slowly rely on a massive amount of points to hammer it into a First-grade or flawless Profound Elixir.

If that were the case, it would be a huge loss.

Immediately, Wang Ping calmed his emotions and continued to gaze at the screen.

Then, you curiously asked Ye Chen about the grade of the Profound Elixir he had condensed. After a slight hesitation, Ye Chen told you. He had condensed a First-grade Profound Elixir. However, after obtaining the Nirvana Fruit this time, by harnessing its power, he had a chance to remedy the flaws in the Profound Elixir and push it to the grade of a Flawless Profound Elixir.

You were shocked, inquiring if the Nirvana Fruit had such effects. Ye Chen confirmed it. The Nirvana Fruit isn’t something that can be found at the place where every Nirvana Realm expert perishes. Only when a Nirvana Realm expert at the peak of Great Perfection dies, is there a small chance of such a world marvel being born. It possesses the unique power of Nirvana at the Nirvana Realm, capable of bringing the dead back to life and repairing flaws in the foundation.

The Nirvana Fruit, this marvelous world treasure, is extremely precious in any given holy land and is often only taken out when a monstrously talented holy son is born, to help him or her rectify their foundation and give them the prospect of breaking through to realms above the King Realm.

Ye Chen’s explanation left you shaken. The different levels lead to different understandings. You originally thought that Ling Xue knew quite a lot, but now it seems that Ling Xue’s knowledge may only be partial and not entirely accurate. She doesn’t know many secrets.

You asked if the Emperor Realm was a realm above the King Realm. Ye Chen gave an affirmative answer to your guess. At the same time, he mentioned the true reclusive old monsters of the major sacred grounds, as well as the former Emperor of Judgement and Profound Turtle, who are all beings of that level.

You were shocked and thought of the title of the Emperor of Judgement, firmly confirming your guess. Then, you asked Ye Chen if he knew the deeper meaning of ‘descendant of the blood of sin.’ Why do the major sacrosanct grounds hunt ‘descendants of the blood of sin’? It seemed rather petty, considering that the Emperor of Judgement, after all, did more good than harm, and his descendants and followers all died tragically in the war, including the Disposing Judgment Holy Land being directly annihilated.

Ye Chen shook his head, indicating that he didn’t currently know the hidden reason either. However, after a pause, with a grave expression, he said he has learned a few secrets over the years. It was rumored that the true ancestors of the major sacrosanct grounds do not actually blame the Emperor of Judgement. Those who blamed the Emperor of Judgement were his former enemies and some irrational powerful ones who suffered severe losses in their kin. These people were strong but not to the level of emperors, so even if they united, they couldn’t break Profound Turtle’s defense.

Otherwise, if all those emperors made a move, even if Profound Turtle’s defense is unparalleled in the Purple Spirit Realm, it would not hold up. You understood and found the reasoning very sound.

Ye Chen continued, saying the emperors are magnanimous individuals who do not blame the Emperor of Judgement. However, there seems to be a deeper reason for allowing the hunt for ‘descendants of the blood of sin,’ a reason that leaves them with no choice.

You were shocked, feeling that the mysteries were ever-increasing. The truth of the matter seemed not to be as you had guessed. Emperors are magnanimous people and wouldn’t act in such a way; hence, the problems surrounding this matter just multiplied.

After that, Ye Chen did not want to continue discussing more with you as this place is unsafe. Ye Chen invited you to leave together. You did not refuse. After all, in your memory, you clearly recall being killed by a Yin-Yang Realm expert after leaving Ye Chen’s side. Staying by Ye Chen’s side is actually safer than traveling alone.

This time, you did not make a mistake. Teaming up with Ye Chen, you did not die, which also made you breathe a sigh of relief. After leaving the Purple Moon Secret Realm, you two separated again. Before parting, you asked Ye Chen if he intended to participate in the Great War of a Hundred Dynasties. Ye Chen nodded, stating that to truly grow, joining a holy land is necessary. Otherwise, relying on himself alone, even if he becomes a King in the future, it will be difficult to become an Emperor.

Listening to Ye Chen’s words, you were surprised but had to agree with him. Indeed, the outside world may have many opportunities and inheritances, but they cannot compare to the long-standing inheritances of holy lands, where one can build a solid foundation at every level. The opportunity to become a King in the future is undoubtedly rare. For an independent cultivator, it’s very difficult to find. As for becoming a legendary Emperor, it is even harder.

However, you wondered if participating in the Great War of a Hundred Dynasties wouldn’t lead to being recognized for the Profound Turtle aura and being killed by those influential figures? Ye Chen shook his head. The influential figures of holy lands do not care about people with the Profound Turtle aura. They’re only interested in one thing—the true ‘descendants of the blood of sin,’ namely the bloodline of the Emperor of Judgement.

The other people with the Profound Turtle aura are actually collateral damage, and the Nine Nether Demon Sect, which has a great enmity with the Emperor of Judgement, is offering bounties. Killing people from the Profound Turtle Continent leads to rewards. Additionally, due to the sensitive factor of ‘descendants of the blood of sin,’ many great forces took advantage, not only because of the heavy casualties from the past war but also because there were benefits to be had.

Therefore, they labeled people from the Profound Turtle Continent as ‘descendants of the blood of sin,’ regardless if they truly were, or merely had the Profound Turtle aura, they would kill first and ask later. With benefits and a good reputation, the cultivators above the Profound Elixir Realm are naturally willing to do it.

Ye Chen concluded with a sarcastic expression, showing disdain for these forces and cultivators. You understood and finally grasped many secrets.

However, you still had doubts in your heart and didn’t completely believe Ye Chen’s words. After all, in your memory, you were attacked not only by human Great Sect cultivators but also by sea beasts.

After some thought, you decided to ask why the sea tribes also hunt ‘descendants of the blood of sin,’ affecting innocent people as well. Ye Chen sighed, indicating that the sea tribes put in great effort during that war, mobilizing almost all high-end combat power.

At that time, the Emperor of Judgement suddenly fled, and the Demon Emperor got free and killed a large number of sea tribe experts, leading to the fall of most of their Emperor Realm powerhouses. Therefore, the sea tribes are the ones who hate ‘descendants of the blood of sin’ and their associates the most, bar none.

Ye Chen remarked, if it weren’t for the decimation of the sea tribe Emperor Realm powerhouses and their inability to recover over the years, coupled with the fact that Profound Turtle indeed has the strongest defense, the sea tribes alone couldn’t break through their defenses and did not dare to provoke them easily. Otherwise, the sea tribes would have long since eradicated Profound Turtle as well.

After hearing these timeless secrets, you were shocked and roughly understood the attitudinal differences of the major forces in the Purple Spirit Realm towards the Emperor of Judgement and his associates. You also realized why those terrifying sea beasts hated even you as a false ‘descendant of the blood of sin.’ To kill you, they ferociously wiped out the Seven Star Archipelago, disregarding the face of the Heavenly Sword Holy Land.

The Emperor of Judgement and the descendants of the blood of sin are the actual targets, while others with the Profound Turtle aura are merely collateral damage.
Seeing this, Wang Ping sighed.

However, the mysteries surrounding the Emperor of Judgement and the ambiguous attitude of the great holy lands were truly incomprehensible.

【Next, Ye Chen spoke meaningfully. Although he didn’t know how much truth there was in the secrets he knew, nor why the big figures of the great holy lands were so concerned about the bloodline of the Emperor of Judgement, he believed that as long as his strength grew, he would naturally find out.】

【You were surprised and found Ye Chen’s words reasonable. You hesitated about whether to participate in the Hundred Kingdoms War.】

【Ye Chen saw your hesitation and advised, ‘Cultivation is inherently against the heavens, you must fight. Hesitation will lead to defeat. You just need to avoid being noticed by those ‘Hunters’ for your ‘Profound Turtle Aura’ when the Hundred Kingdoms War starts. Once you reach the Heavenly Sword Sacred City, you’ll be safe.’】

【You found Ye Chen’s words convincing and decided to take a gamble. Otherwise, staying hidden would indeed make it difficult to achieve any significant accomplishments. In the path of cultivation, mindset and willpower are indeed very important.】

【Next, Ye Chen parted ways with you again, aiming to raise his combat power before the Hundred Kingdoms War began. You also found a secluded place to start breaking through to the Profound Elixir Realm.】

【However, you felt torn about whether to switch to cultivating the Wind and Thunder Technique. If you did, your spiritual body would be ruined. Although the spiritual body can be converted to a Wind and Thunder Spiritual Body later through secret methods and special medicinal herbs, it would be a painstaking process.】

【After contemplating, you decided to switch to the Wind and Thunder Technique. The Wind and Thunder Technique is a top-class Heaven-grade method, two ranks higher than the Five Elements Fusion Technique, with a significant difference in power. Only by cultivating the Wind and Thunder Technique could you increase the probability of forming a first-grade Profound Elixir; otherwise, your current technique might hold you back.】

【Besides, you thought, it’s just a spiritual body. If it’s ruined, so be it. After all, the enhancement of combat power from a spiritual body is only evident in the Transcendent Realm. Once you reach the Profound Elixir Realm, the enhancement from a spiritual body diminishes significantly. The quality of the Profound Elixir becomes crucial.】

【Either way, you decided to take the lesser evil and switch techniques first.】

【After successfully switching to the Wind and Thunder Technique, you consumed the Nirvana Fruit, utilizing its immense Nirvana power to attempt to form a Profound Elixir.】

【However, you discovered that the Nirvana Fruit was a treasure formed from the death of a Nirvana Realm powerhouse, possessing Nirvana power. Moreover, that senior was a cultivator with wind and thunder attributes, making the conversion of your physique exceptionally easy. Why would you need to find spiritual items in the future?】

【Thrilled, you began using the Nirvana power of the Nirvana Fruit to transform your spiritual body. However, instead of converting your Five Elements Spiritual Body to a Wind and Thunder Spiritual Body, you had an inspiration and incorporated the wind and thunder attributes into your physique.】

【The result was that the properties of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth did not disappear but were dominated by the newly added wind and thunder attributes. You didn’t know if this action was right or wrong, but you believed that to truly surpass those monstrous talents, you had to forge your own path. Otherwise, if you encountered high-grade techniques of the five elements in the future, would you have to convert back? That would be too troublesome.】

【Because of this, you ambitiously wanted to forge a path involving all attributes, merging all attributes into yourself.】

【Next, you began attempting to break through to the Profound Elixir Realm. Due to your earlier recklessness, some twists and turns occurred during the breakthrough process. Ultimately, you successfully formed a second-grade Profound Elixir, breaking through to the Profound Elixir Realm.】

‘Only a second grade?’

Wang Ping frowned at this conclusion, feeling a bit disappointed.

However, this seemed to be quite common.

Nirvana Fruits were very precious, but the holy lands surely had plenty. However, some weaker holy sons only formed second-grade Profound Elixirs.

Of course, it might also be because those holy lands deemed these holy sons’ talents unworthy of using such treasures to form flawless Profound Elixirs and considered it a waste.

‘It seems my innate talent is still lacking. If I had the Red Talent: True Dragon Form, I’d definitely be able to form a first-grade Profound Elixir.’

Wang Ping shook his head, thinking to himself.

However, there was no ‘if.’ Having chosen the Red Talent: Unstable Evolver, he had to bear the consequences.

‘Unstable Evolver, give me a break… It’s been so many years and hasn’t triggered even once.’

Wang Ping muttered helplessly.

Despite the complaint, he didn’t regret it.

After all, even if the Unstable Evolver lacked presence, he could choose the Red Talent: True Dragon Form in the next reward. He wouldn’t miss out on the talents he wanted.

Then, Wang Ping exhaled, calmed his mood, and continued watching the screen.

【Although you only formed a second-grade Profound Elixir, you weren’t disappointed. Instead, you were relieved that you only formed a second-grade one. Because after breaking through to the Profound Elixir Realm, a Heavenly Tribulation would occur to temper the Profound Elixir. The tribulation for tempering a second-grade Profound Elixir was terrifying and nearly struck you dead.】

【Although you formed a second-grade Profound Elixir with the help of the Nirvana Fruit, your combat power was significantly less compared to those who could form second-grade Profound Elixirs with their own talent. Facing the Heavenly Tribulation, you barely survived, aided by the exceptional recovery power granted by the Nirvana Fruit.】
【If you condense a First-Grade Profound Elixir, you will absolutely be struck to ashes by the Heavenly Tribulation and completely perish.】

“Uh…”

Wang Ping looked at this simulated content and fell silent.

Goodness, he had overlooked one thing: a higher-grade Profound Elixir also meant a more terrifying Heavenly Tribulation.

In his current state, where he had not yet learned any Divine Abilities, let alone created one himself, he barely managed to survive a Second-Grade Heavenly Tribulation thanks to the terrifying recovery power brought by the Nirvana Fruit.

If he condensed a First-Grade Profound Elixir now, he would definitely be struck dead.

Although he had the Rebirth Talisman, which could bring him back to life, that would surely count as a failed breakthrough.

“Condensing a Profound Elixir without matching combat power is impossible. This path of cultivation is truly brutal. The further you go, the harsher it becomes.”

Wang Ping sighed, his mood somewhat heavy.

【After successfully passing the tribulation and refining your Profound Elixir to the Second-Grade level, you unexpectedly triggered the evolution option of the Red Talent: Unstable Evolver. Faced with this, you hesitated greatly, unsure whether to choose evolution.】

【However, you then thought of the path of cultivation as one that defies the heavens and must be fought for. With this thought in mind, you resolutely chose to evolve your Profound Elixir. You were incredibly lucky, successfully evolving your Profound Elixir to the First-Grade level, not far from a flawless Profound Elixir. This level of Profound Elixir is comparable to Ye Chen’s.】

【You were elated to the extreme, believing yourself to be very fortunate. Yet, you truly hadn’t expected to condense the pinnacle First-Grade Profound Elixir in such a manner.】

【You were convinced that with your newly condensed First-Grade Profound Elixir, your foundation would be strong enough to rival top talents in the entire Purple Spirit Realm. If you could learn or create Divine Abilities, you would become even more powerful, stepping onto the true stage of the Purple Spirit Realm and competing head-on with the geniuses and anomalies from the Holy Land.】

【However, you were reminded that the Divine Ability handed down from the Nirvana Realm, the Nirvana Great Hand Print, was not a sword technique, making it virtually impossible for you to learn. In addition, by forcefully retaining the Five Elements attribute, it was even more improbable for you to master it.】

【Nevertheless, you did not give up. Since you couldn’t master it, you decided to take inspiration from the Wind and Thunder Great Hand Print Divine Ability and create your own Divine Ability sword technique.】

“Red Talent: Unstable Evolver, I misjudged you. It seems you’re the kind that doesn’t show your prowess until the critical moment.”

Wang Ping looked at this simulated content, extremely excited.

Choosing the Unstable Evolver was absolutely right.

This was truly the path to a flawless Profound Elixir.

If he had solely chosen the Hidden Dragon Form, not only would he fail to condense a First-Grade Profound Elixir, but he would also be struck dead by the Heavenly Tribulation—an utterly tragic fate.

Now that he had condensed a First-Grade Profound Elixir, with just some group points, he could easily condense a flawless Profound Elixir, perfectly breaking through to the Profound Elixir Realm. In terms of foundation, he would be enough to rival Ye Chen, the son of fortune, and stand shoulder to shoulder with him!

“Wait, I don’t seem to need to use group points.”

Wang Ping suddenly came to his senses, his eyes shining.

It had to be known that he still had a Nirvana Fruit on him. The simulated Wang Ping had used up the Nirvana Fruit—what did that have to do with him now?

As long as he condensed the reward, then consumed a Nirvana Fruit, he could directly achieve a flawless Profound Elixir without using group points at all.

“This feels very comfortable.”

Wang Ping felt an immense sense of relief and continued to gaze at the screen.

【After finishing your secluded cultivation, you discovered that the Heavenly Sea Kingdom was experiencing significant turmoil. The fall of two Life and Death Realm ancestors had too great an impact.】

【Although after that battle, two Life and Death Realm powerhouses from the North Sun Sect and Fengyuan Gate also neared death, and the rogue cultivator at the Life and Death Realm completely perished, the fact that two Life and Death Realms had not fallen still posed a significant threat to the Heavenly Sea Kingdom’s royal family, causing the whole Heavenly Sea Kingdom to seem on the brink of chaos.】

【Despite the looming chaos, no one dared to act recklessly. Everyone knew that the Hundred Dynasty War was about to begin, and starting a war at this crucial juncture was akin to slapping the Heavenly Sword Holy Land in the face. Moreover, the two remaining Life and Death Realm powerhouses in the Heavenly Sea Kingdom were not easily dealt with.】

【Six months later, as the Hundred Dynasty War was about to start, the Heavenly Sea Kingdom prepared to head to the Holy City led by the Heavenly Sword Holy Land for a grand contest. After some thought, you met with Ling Xue to express your intention to represent the Heavenly Sea Kingdom in the Hundred Dynasty War.】

【Ling Xue was extremely surprised and happy to see you. She noticed that your cultivation had reached the Profound Elixir Realm and curiously asked which grade of Profound Elixir you had condensed. You vaguely mentioned the top three grades. Ling Xue was greatly astonished, never expecting that you, like her, had condensed a Third-Grade Profound Elixir. She believed that with this, the Heavenly Sea Kingdom might shine this time and free itself from its predicament.】

【With the aid of the teleportation array, you traversed an astonishing distance through several countries, arriving at the Heavenly Sword Sacred City. The sight of the city left you utterly amazed; this ancient city is rumored to have existed for fifty thousand years, with a long, rich history filled with countless legendary events.】

【Moreover, you find that the spiritual energy concentration in the Sacred City is beyond your imagination. The entire city is built upon a spirit vein, and a powerful Spirit Gathering Array covers the city. As a result, the concentration of spiritual energy in the ancient city is at least ten times greater than that of the capital of the Heavenly Sea Kingdom. Ordinary cultivators here can progress at a phenomenal pace.】

【Next, you see a massive flow of people. The entire ancient city is bustling to the extreme. Yin-Yang Realm and Life and Death Realm experts are everywhere, and even Nirvana Realm powerhouses occasionally appear. As for prodigies, they are as plentiful as the hair on an ox. This is quite normal since the young generation of the entire Sword Domain gathers here.】

【It can be said that none of the prodigies qualified to participate in the Hundred Dynasty Battle have a cultivation level below the Profound Elixir Realm. Even if someone has exceptional talent, they would not be eligible to participate in the battle below the Profound Elixir Realm, as they would only be punching above their weight here.】

【After all, you’re a genius, but so are the other geniuses here. While you may be able to defeat other prodigies within the Profound Elixir Realm by crossing several minor boundaries, it would be extremely difficult to overcome other prodigies with your Half-Step Profound Elixir Realm cultivation.】

【You eagerly anticipate the start of the Hundred Dynasty Battle, yet you are also very anxious, worried that the Profound Turtle aura you have concealed might be discovered by some powerful being, leading to your immediate demise.】

【In reality, your worry is unnecessary. The secret technique Ye Chen gave you is highly advanced, even Life and Death Realm experts cannot see through it. Although Nirvana Realm powerhouses can see through your disguise at a glance, no one would dare act recklessly in the Heavenly Sword Sacred City.】

【After all, fighting is strictly forbidden in the Heavenly Sword Sacred City, let alone with the Hundred Dynasty Battle about to start. If anyone dares to violate the rules and engage in combat here, they would be challenging the sanctity of the Holy Land, and the consequences would be dire, even for a Nirvana Realm powerhouse.】

‘So this is how it is… I really was overthinking it. With that said, Ye Canghai must be Ye Chen’s alias, right?’

Wang Ping was slightly taken aback as he looked at the simulated content.

Then, he recalled the previous simulation content.

In this Hundred Dynasty Battle, Ye Canghai and Ji Bingyue, these two great prodigies, performed remarkably. As soon as they entered the Holy Land, they became quasi-true disciples.

If not for their insufficient cultivation, they would certainly already be true disciples.

Initially, he thought this Ye Canghai was worthy of being a member of the Ye Family, but now it seems he’s just one of Ye Chen’s disguises.

Ye Chen did say he would participate in the Hundred Dynasty Battle. With Ye Chen’s capabilities, it would be strange if he didn’t become famous.

‘It’s a pity the previous simulation only mentioned that these two performed exceptionally, without saying who was stronger. But considering Ye Chen’s luck and following the usual pattern, he probably took first place.’

Wang Ping thought silently to himself.

‘However, this Ji Bingyue, who is on par with Ye Chen, must have given Ye Chen quite a struggle; otherwise, they wouldn’t be so equally matched… Wait, with this development, it feels like Ji Bingyue might be the chosen one.’

Pausing for a moment, Wang Ping’s expression turned peculiar.

It seems, indeed, to be the case.

As the child of destiny, Ye Chen can’t be without a Dao companion.

After all, more Dao companions are pretty much standard for the child of destiny.

This Ji Bingyue, in terms of talent and combat power in the same realm, is enough to match Ye Chen. She is entirely qualified to be the chosen one.

Following the usual pattern, the two would clash in the Hundred Dynasty Battle, develop mutual respect and admiration, becoming close confidants, and eventually becoming romantic confidants.

‘Tsk, tsk… I’ve already figured out the upcoming plot.’

Wang Ping smacked his lips, his old writer’s habit from before he transmigrated flaring up.

Immediately, Wang Ping calmed his mind and continued to stare at the screen, where words kept appearing.

【You stroll through the Heavenly Sword Sacred City, discovering that the treasures sold in the shops here are shockingly abundant. Cai Yonglong is also extremely excited, being a minor cultivator who has never seen such a spectacle.】

【Soon, Cai Yonglong became excited because he discovered a huge opportunity line. You were also surprised and filled with anticipation, following Cai Yonglong as he traced the opportunity line.】

【Then, at a market, you saw a bead that you wanted to buy, but you found that you didn’t have enough spiritual stones. Embarrassed, you realized that even though you were considered wealthy on Sacred Heart Island, in a place filled with powerful individuals, you were too poor to buy anything, not even able to try your luck.】

【The vendor noticed your embarrassment and drove you away. You saw that the vendor’s cultivation had reached the astonishing Yin-Yang Realm, and you could only leave reluctantly.】

【Just as you were about to leave, you saw the owner of the opportunity line coming to buy the bead. At the same time, another person arrived. You were shocked when you saw her.】
