【Next, you and Cai Yonglong returned to Sacred Heart Island. You feel that you already possess enough resources, so there’s no need to continue seeking opportunities outside. Instead, you can focus on cultivation in peace.】

    【Because of the Nirvana Fruit, your aptitude has greatly improved, and your cultivation speed has increased considerably. However, since you condensed a Flawless Profound Elixir, although the quality of the Spiritual Essence in your elixir far exceeds that of ordinary cultivators, and your combat power in the same realm is much higher, you also require much more energy to advance your cultivation. As a result, your advancement hasn’t been much faster than before.】

    【Nevertheless, you aren’t worried. The Profound Elixir Realm grants a thousand years of life; you have ample time to improve your cultivation and believe you will eventually reach the Yin-Yang Realm.】

    【Five years passed, and your cultivation has made some progress but hasn’t broken through to the sixth level of the Profound Elixir Realm. Meanwhile, Cai Yonglong bid farewell to you during these five years and ventured alone into the Eastern Wilderness because his demonic path requires rapid advancement through slaughter and devouring. Even though he could cultivate alone, having experienced rapid gains in cultivation, Cai Yonglong can no longer calm down to cultivate.】

    【You notice the change in Cai Yonglong’s mindset, thinking that he’s bound to have an incident sooner or later and is likely to completely embrace demonic ways, greatly altering his personality. However, you also understand that you can no longer persuade Cai Yonglong and can only hope he doesn’t completely succumb to the demonic path.】

    【Another ten years pass, and your cultivation progresses to the sixth level of the Profound Elixir Realm. At the same time, even though you are on Sacred Heart Island, you hear the news that Ye Canghai, or rather Ye Chen, has become the seventh Holy Son of the Heavenly Sword Holy Land, leaving you astonished.】

    【However, what puzzles you is that Ji Bingyue, who is as famous as Ye Chen, didn’t become the Holy Maiden but rather unexpectedly perished. This baffled you because such an event didn’t occur in your ‘memory.’】

    【Of course, you also recall that just because this event isn’t in your memory doesn’t mean it never happened in previous cycles. At that time, you didn’t know Ji Bingyue was Bing Ningyue, so even if she perished, you wouldn’t have paid much attention.】

    【You then remember you once speculated that Ji Bingyue was a ‘Child of Fate’ and sighed, thinking you overthought it. If she were truly a ‘Child of Fate,’ how could she perish?】

    【You continue to cultivate with Bai Tianhong, planning to venture out for more cultivation resources once your current ones are exhausted.】

    【In the blink of an eye, another twenty years pass, and your cultivation progresses steadily to the seventh level of the Profound Elixir Realm, making you a powerhouse in the late stages of the Profound Elixir Realm.】

    【This year, Cai Yonglong returns to Sacred Heart Island and meets with you. Looking at Cai Yonglong, you find yourself unable to sense his cultivation level, making you astonished. Simultaneously, you notice that Cai Yonglong’s gaze is colder, and the demonic aura is nearly uncontrollable, indicating something is seriously wrong with him.】

    【You advise Cai Yonglong not to be too obsessed with demonic cultivation and to cultivate his mind to avoid incidents. Cai Yonglong, however, doesn’t heed your advice and instead reveals his Yin-Yang Realm cultivation, insisting he is fine and does not need your concern.】

    【You are amazed that Cai Yonglong has reached the Yin-Yang Realm and also deeply sigh, knowing he is truly on the path to becoming fully demonic. Even though you have condensed a Flawless Profound Elixir and can battle those in the Great Perfection of the Profound Elixir Realm, you are still no match for a powerful Yin-Yang Realm cultivator and can only watch as Cai Yonglong continues his demonic cultivation.】

    【Following this, Cai Yonglong hands you a divine abilities scroll. After opening it, you are surprised to find it contains the sword Dao divine abilities you need.】

    【Divine abilities are categorized into lower-grade, middle-grade, upper-grade, and top-grade. The divine abilities Cai Yonglong gives you are upper-grade, powerful abilities that even major sects struggle to obtain.】

    【You are both astonished and delighted because you indeed need such powerful sword Dao divine abilities. Once learned, your combat power will significantly increase. Although practicing another’s divine abilities only allows you to utilize a fraction of their power, it is still strong enough. Furthermore, you can use these divine abilities to comprehend your own.】

    【For years, you have been trying to create your own divine abilities but have yet to make any headway. With these sword Dao divine abilities, you finally have a glimmer of hope.】

    【Ultimately, after handing you the divine abilities scroll, Cai Yonglong leaves without saying much.】

    “Cai Yonglong is truly treading a path of no return… This demonic art is indeed not something to be practiced carelessly…”

    Wang Ping sighed inwardly as he looked at the simulated content.

    Demonic arts can make one powerful rapidly, but the price is equally clear—one might totally succumb to demonic influences and become extremely cold-blooded with a single misstep.

    However, Cai Yonglong’s conduct is still commendable.

    At least, Cai Yonglong is someone who knows how to repay kindness.

    Even if he has clearly succumbed to the demonic path, he returns to repay his kindness, bringing back a scroll containing divine abilities and showing no intent to harm him.

    If he were truly heartless and ungrateful, practicing demonic arts and nearing complete demonic transformation, he would inevitably come after him, intending to devour him entirely.

    After all, he has condensed a Flawless Profound Elixir and possesses many valuable items. Devouring him brings enormous benefits.

    “I hope Cai Yonglong doesn’t end up on a doomed path, although the chances are slim.”

    Wang Ping pondered inwardly.

    With this in mind, he resolved that Cai Yonglong should not practice demonic arts in the future and should cultivate normally to grow stronger.

    Perhaps, the Wind and Thunder Technique can be arranged for him.

    A top-tier heaven-grade cultivation method, combined with Cai Yonglong’s talent, the resources he supplies, and his Golden Finger, might give him a chance to keep up with his pace.

    Even if he can’t keep up, as long as he reaches a level where he won’t fall easily entering secret realms, it will suffice.

    As he becomes sufficiently strong, their chances of intercepting opportunities in secret realms will be significantly high.

    Wang Ping then calmed his thoughts and continued to gaze at the screen.

    【Four years pass swiftly. A white-haired Old Woman appears on Sacred Heart Island, intending to take Bai Tianhong away. You choose to risk intervening. Over the years, you’ve stayed by Bai Tianhong’s side, waiting for this white-haired Old Woman.】

    【Although the white-haired Old Woman has crushed ‘you’ in your memory, now that you have condensed a Flawless Profound Elixir, there might be a chance to be taken along by her, uncovering the secrets behind Bai Tianhong and being nurtured by her backing force.】

    【After you shield Bai Tianhong, the white-haired Old Woman does not ignore you this time but looks at you with great surprise. Although you don’t reveal your Flawless Profound Elixir, she easily notices your background, knowing you have condensed a Flawless Profound Elixir.】

    【This genuinely astounds the white-haired Old Woman. A rogue cultivator condensing a Flawless Profound Elixir is undoubtedly astonishing, an achievement many Holy Sons in major holy lands struggle to accomplish.】

    【In the end, the white-haired Old Woman treats you kindly, stating she has no ill intentions towards Bai Tianhong and only wants to take him to where he belongs to awaken his true power. She even offers to take you along if you wish.】

    【You are deeply moved by the white-haired Old Woman’s words. Previously, as a useless rogue cultivator, you were entirely beneath her notice. Now, with your Flawless Profound Elixir, she is amiable and even wants to take you with her.】

    【You do not refuse and choose to accompany the white-haired Old Woman, intending to uncover Bai Tianhong’s secrets and see if they match your speculations.】

    【The white-haired Old Woman takes you and Bai Tianhong away, easily tearing open space and stepping into it with astonishing means. You are awed by the white-haired Old Woman’s skills and curious about her cultivation.】

    【The white-haired Old Woman reveals that she is merely in the Nirvana Realm, nothing more. You are left speechless because what does ‘merely in the Nirvana Realm’ even mean…it’s way too pretentious.】

    【The white-haired Old Woman smiles and tells you that the Nirvana Realm is not that significant, and for someone like you who has condensed a Flawless Profound Elixir, becoming a king in the future is quite possible.】

    【You don’t respond. You know your own limitations. Although you condensed a Flawless Profound Elixir with the help of many cheats and great opportunities, your potential is not that great. Your understanding and aptitude do not truly reach the level of a Holy Son, and how far you can go is still uncertain.】

    【Following this, Bai Tianhong asks the white-haired Old Woman why she wants to take him away. The white-haired Old Woman remains silent for a while and says that you’ll naturally know when you reach the destination.】
    After a long time, you arrived in a peculiar valley. The valley was covered by layer upon layer of formations, making the outside look completely different from the inside.

    Upon arriving, you felt the change in spiritual energy concentration. Although it wasn’t as dense as in the Heavenly Sword Sacred City, it was still several times higher than in the Heavenly Sea Kingdom.

    The white-haired old woman explained to you where this place was. This is Sealed Origin Valley, their place of seclusion, and also the retreat of the followers of the Emperor of Judgement.

    You felt awe in your heart, finally confirming your guess. Bai Tianhong is indeed a descendant of the Emperor of Judgement, possessing his bloodline.

    Next, you were brought by the white-haired old woman to meet the person in charge of this place, the Valley Master. The Valley Master, an elder named Bai Ya, also possessed the bloodline of the Emperor of Judgement. You guessed his cultivation level had definitely reached the King Realm, which was terrifying.

    Bai Tianhong learned of his identity, and you also discovered more hidden truths from ancient times. After the sudden escape of the Emperor of Judgement, his followers did not flee but continued to fight to the death, with most of them perishing in battle.

    Listening to the Valley Master’s description, you were confused and asked why the Emperor of Judgement would suddenly flee in the face of battle, which didn’t align with his character. Additionally, you wondered why the major Holy Lands hunted down the remnants.

    Bai Ya shook his head, indicating that not all Holy Lands were involved in the pursuit, only those that were enemies, foes, and people from demonic sects. Because his grandfather was upright and just, his title was the Emperor of Judgement—judging the wicked. His whole life was dedicated to punishing evil and promoting good, eliminating demonic threats. Such actions naturally offended many factions and powerful individuals.

    Bai Ya continued explaining that his grandfather’s cultivation and combat prowess were peerless. At his peak, those petty individuals would naturally hide away. But during a battle with the Demon Emperor, an anomaly occurred, leading to accusations of retreating in the face of battle, almost endangering all lives in the Purple Spirit Realm. Those enemies seized the opportunity for revenge.

    You were shocked to learn about the character of the Emperor of Judgement for the first time. Bai Tianhong was also shaken, never expecting such a background and such an ancestor.

    Next, Bai Ya sighed deeply as he recounted his grandfather’s legendary life. The Emperor of Judgement didn’t come from any major power; he was originally an ordinary person from a small country. After the unjust deaths of his parents, he himself almost died at the hands of a villain, vowing to become a magistrate to punish evil and promote good.

    Later, his grandfather realized that becoming an official only allowed him to save a small number of people, so he resigned and practiced martial arts. Miraculously, he rose to prominence and became the Emperor, establishing the strongest Holy Land of Judgement. When his grandfather’s influence shook the Central State, it experienced its most peaceful era, with all evildoers suppressed.

    During the invasion of the Blood Demon Clan, it was his grandfather who led the experts of the Holy Land of Judgement in the frontlines against the Blood Demons, never resting.

    Listening to the Emperor of Judgement’s life story, you were deeply moved. Such a person could never flee in battle.

    You asked earnestly, puzzled about why the Emperor of Judgement fled in the end. Bai Ya fell silent before uttering four words: possession and curse.

    Your heart shuddered, immediately recalling the curse on the Chizu people. Could they be in a similar situation?

    Next, Bai Ya revealed the truth. During the battle with the Demon Emperor, the Emperor of Judgement was suddenly possessed by an anomalous entity, almost harming his own people. To counter it, his grandfather fought for control of his body, forcefully retreating from the battlefield and sealing himself within the Profound Turtle’s internal space, preventing the entity from succeeding.

    However, although the Emperor of Judgement was sealed, another entity— a curse—emerged shortly after. Anyone with the Emperor of Judgement’s bloodline would inexplicably become cursed, leading them to become demonic, heartless killing machines.

    You finally understood why the Holy Lands allowed the world’s cultivators to hunt down ‘cursed blood descendants.’ The curse would cause great harm to the world if left unchecked.

    But you still had questions. Why weren’t Bai Ya and Bai Tianhong affected, and why did many followers of the Emperor of Judgement escape to the Profound Turtle?

    Bai Ya sighed, explaining that he managed due to his strong cultivation, along with the formations and treasures that barely suppressed the curse. If he left this place, the curse would erupt within a month.

    Additionally, he had to enter a deep sleep, waking once every hundred years. The reason why the white-haired old woman brought Bai Tianhong here was that he sensed Bai Tianhong, who shared the same bloodline, leave the Profound Turtle right after waking up, so he sent the old woman to bring him.

    As for Bai Tianhong, he was unaffected because his cultivation hadn’t reached the Profound Elixir Realm. Once it did, the curse would erupt, leading him into demonic madness.

    Some followers escaped to the Profound Turtle for safety, as having all eggs in one basket is dangerous. The Profound Turtle was safer.

    In fact, besides this valley, there were other hidden retreats, but they were all discovered and destroyed over the years.

    Hearing the truth, you were filled with dread. The curse was too malicious, and even King Realm experts had to rely on numerous means to avoid going demonic. Additionally, the enemies of the Emperor of Judgement were determined to eradicate his bloodline.

    After sharing some secrets, the kind-hearted Bai Ya had to return to his slumber, leaving you with a sense of melancholy. A King Realm expert could only awaken once every hundred years, living such a tragic existence.

    Not long after, Bai Tianhong’s true bloodline power was awakened by the people in the valley, revealing his true talent. You were curious if awakening the bloodline would trigger the curse, but you assumed the valley’s people knew what they were doing since they went through with it.

    Or perhaps the curse would trigger regardless of bloodline activation. Once someone reached the Profound Elixir Realm, the curse would erupt in the outside world, plunging them into madness. Better to have higher cultivation and attempt to suppress the curse.

    “So that’s the truth…” Wang Ping lamented as he reviewed the simulation’s content.

    The Emperor of Judgement was possessed and cursed, affecting his descendants. No wonder the Holy Lands reacted this way.

    As for his followers, they were targeted by the Emperor’s enemies.

    The Emperor of Judgement was righteous, wishing to eradicate all evil. Such a person naturally attracted loyal followers but also made countless enemies.

    At his peak, no one dared to act against him.

    But after the Blood Demon Clan’s invasion and unexpected possession by an anomaly, his enemies seized their chance.

    Those shameful individuals acted unscrupulously.

    And the vengeful Holy Lands, concerned with their reputations, likely struck in secret.

    Thus, the Emperor of Judgement’s descendants met such a fate.

    His followers suffered miserably.

    “Wait, possessed by an anomaly!”

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

    “Alpha, don’t tell me that anomalies emerged in this world long ago, and the Emperor of Judgement was possessed by one, causing all this?”

    Wang Ping felt a chill in his heart as he asked internally.

    “Correct. The Emperor of Judgement was possessed by an anomaly. However, because of his formidable cultivation and his righteous path, it didn’t succeed at first.”
    Alpha’s cold, emotionless voice echoed.

    “Nevertheless, an anomaly will always be an anomaly. Even if the Emperor of Judgement’s cultivation is terrifying and his path highly restrains the evil demon tribes, he still couldn’t resist the anomaly’s possession. The fact that he managed to regain partial control of his body at the critical moment and escape to the Profound Turtle, sealing himself within it… It’s already an act defying heaven.”

    “…So that’s how it is.”

    Wang Ping fell silent.

    So, this is the truth? The Emperor of Judgement, possessed by an anomaly, was attempting to seize control of his body. He could only retreat during battle and seal himself within the Profound Turtle.

    Otherwise, if the anomaly succeeded in taking over his body, the entire Purple Spirit Realm would be doomed.

    The Blood Demon Tribe was already powerful. If they managed to possess the Emperor of Judgement, combining the anomaly’s terrifying potential abilities, they would be unstoppable.

    It is likely that even the ‘Son of Destiny’ who succeeded in the fight wouldn’t be able to turn the tide.

    “The Emperor of Judgement, a sovereign of his generation, falling to such a fate… This anomaly is truly despicable.”

    Wang Ping sighed inwardly, harboring extreme hostility toward the anomaly.

    Every anomaly they encountered was far from simple and always terrifying.

    If not for his Life Simulator, he would have really met his end.

    “It seems, Alpha, you believe our strength is far from enough to resolve this anomaly, which is why you haven’t issued a group task.”

    Wang Ping sighed again.

    “Naturally. Even if I issued a group task, you wouldn’t be able to complete it. Forcing you all to undertake it would only send you to your deaths.”

    Alpha spoke coldly.

    “Haha.” Wang Ping chuckled, not saying anything more on the matter.

    “Speaking of which, cases of anomalies being suppressed by natives of their original worlds shouldn’t be rare, right?”

    Wang Ping rubbed his chin and posed another question.

    “Indeed. In some powerful worlds, the strong beings, although unaware of what anomalies are, know they’re extremely dangerous and would naturally suppress them upon discovery.”

    Alpha confirmed.

    “However, there are also many like the Lord of Light, who, despite knowing the danger of anomalies, still attempt to utilize them.”

    “Just as I thought.”

    Wang Ping nodded, unsurprised by Alpha’s response.

    “I really wonder how many group points one would get for killing this anomaly…” Wang Ping thought, somewhat envious.

    Of course, it was merely envy.

    With his current strength, it would indeed be as Alpha said—a one-way trip.

    Moreover, even if he reached the level of an emperor, he wouldn’t easily break the seal within the Profound Turtle.

    The Emperor of Judgement was the strongest emperor from ten thousand years ago, a unique existence.

    Even if he reached the emperor level, he might not be a match.

    Especially since the Emperor is possessed by an anomaly.

    “If possible, I would like to extract the anomaly from his body. Such a figure perishing like this is truly regrettable.” Wang Ping thought silently.

    Then, Wang Ping calmed his emotions and continued to observe the screen, eager to see what would happen next.

    Now that he had entered this valley, he might learn the inheritance of the Land of Judgement.

    For Wang Ping, this was a heaven-defying opportunity.

    【Next, you will cultivate diligently in the valley. Because you condensed an immaculate Profound Elixir, the experts in the valley see you as a promising talent and want to train you.】

    【However, something unexpected happens. Before the experts could put you through trials, a terrifyingly powerful being descends upon the valley, assaulting all the formations.】

    【The intruder is immensely terrifying, with demonic energy surging to the heavens. With a single palm strike, the being shatters the layered formations and levels the place.】

    【In an instant, both you and the sleeping Bai Ya are killed, turning to dust.】

    【Thanks to the Rebirth Talisman, you resurrect. Unfortunately, the intruder’s attack was so devastating that the spatial area explodes, causing chaotic spatial flows. The moment you resurrect, you die once again.】

    【Due to your death, this simulation ends.】

    “Damn it, the more terrifying the place I go, the more monstrous the enemies I provoke…”

    Wang Ping looked at his tragic demise and felt utterly frustrated.

    Heading to the Heavenly Sword Holy Land, he was used as bait, attracting an enemy at least of the royal level.
    Now arriving in the valley where the descendant of the Emperor of Judgement, Bai Ya, resided, he directly summoned a terrifying emperor-level existence, which was utterly ridiculous.

    The reason Wang Ping believed the other party was an emperor was because even a king-level expert like Bai Ya was instantly crushed into powder.

    Even those world-shaking formations, along with king-level Bai Ya, were shattered with a single slap. If this wasn’t emperor-level cultivation, then what could it be…

    ‘How could it be such a coincidence that he directly came here…’

    Wang Ping frowned as he pondered.

    Could it be that Bai Tianhong from before had already died, which is why no one came looking for him…

    This seems quite likely.

    ‘Perhaps, that white-haired Old Woman went out and was targeted, leading them here. Or maybe someone was always watching Bai Tianhong. When the white-haired Old Woman appeared and took Bai Tianhong away, they followed the trail and found this place.’

    Wang Ping felt a chill in his heart.

    This demonic emperor truly has deep and cunning thoughts…

    ‘I thought I could get a great opportunity, but now it’s all gone.’

    Wang Ping felt a bit helpless.

    If he could control the actions of the simulated Wang Ping, that would be great.

    However, it was difficult for him to influence Wang Ping’s actions.

    To be precise, the simulated Wang Ping was like him on a nonexistent timeline; he had flesh and blood, emotions, and feared death, knowing how to avoid disaster.

    If it was something without danger, he wouldn’t mind doing it.

    For the sake of other reincarnations of ‘Wang Ping,’ he would take some minor risks too.

    But making him do something that would surely result in death was absolutely impossible. He would never follow the pre-simulation will to do such things.

    He was also afraid of death. Knowing something was deadly, he wouldn’t only avoid doing it but would flee far away.

    ‘When I buy the Golden Finger Optimizer next time, I wonder in which direction it will optimize. Will it add the option to control the simulated ‘Wang Ping’s’ actions, or increase the probability of refreshing higher-grade talents…’

    Wang Ping’s eyes flickered as he pondered in his heart.

    Whatever the direction, he could accept it.

    If both appeared, that would be the best outcome.

    But Wang Ping also knew this wasn’t something realistic; he was just thinking about it.

    At this moment, Wang Ping’s vision changed, appearing in an unfamiliar valley.

    Then, Wang Ping saw a man in a black robe with a Nether Mask on his face appearing above the valley, ruthlessly suppressing everyone in the valley, and the simulated Wang Ping died horribly and hopelessly twice.

    Soon, Wang Ping’s vision returned to normal, his face full of shock.

    Even though it was just a scene formed by dying with unreconciled feelings, viewing it from a god’s perspective, unaffected by the aura and pressure, still made his heart chill. It was unimaginable how terrifying the opponent’s aura would be in reality.

    ‘An emperor…’

    Wang Ping murmured to himself, his heart full of longing for this realm.

    ‘Next, I should go to Sacred Heart Island to earn some spirit stones.’

    Immediately, Wang Ping collected his thoughts and prepared to head to Sacred Heart Island.

    This time, he estimated he would stay on Sacred Heart Island for quite a while and wouldn’t return to the Profound Turtle Continent in the short term.

    He might not even stay long on Sacred Heart Island, eventually having to go to the Eastern Wilderness.

    As his cultivation level increased, the High-Grade Spirit Stones on Sacred Heart Island might not be able to sustain his simulations.

    If he went to the Eastern Wilderness, coming and going would be too troublesome.

    ‘In that case, I’ll take Ye Chen with me.’

    After some thought, Wang Ping decided to bring Ye Chen along.

    As for Bai Tianhong, he had no intentions of taking him.

    After all, Bai Tianhong’s bloodline was special, and from the last simulation, he knew that Bai Tianhong was being watched.

    Taking him out would easily lead to danger.

    Although he knew that terrifying expert probably disdained dealing with an ant like him, Wang Ping still wanted to completely avoid any danger factors he could.

    Not to mention, Wang Ping didn’t want Bai Tianhong to die so unjustly.

    Whether the simulated Wang Ping would return to the Profound Turtle Continent to take Bai Tianhong away in the future was a matter for the simulated Wang Ping, and had nothing to do with him.

    With this on his mind, Wang Ping found Cai Yonglong and explained his departure from the Profound Turtle Continent.

    Cai Yonglong was naturally very pleased.

    Although he had cultivation resources supplied by Wang Ping here, Cai Yonglong didn’t want to keep relying on the resources provided by Wang Ping.
    The most important thing is, staying here makes his Golden Finger almost useless, making him very uncomfortable.

    “Brother Wang, when we leave Profound Turtle Continent, I want to go to Green Spirit Island and inform my master.”

    Cai Yonglong couldn’t help but speak.

    “You have a master?” Wang Ping was a bit surprised.

    “Of course I do. When I first crossed over to Green Spirit Island, if not for meeting my master, I would probably be dead already.”

    Cai Yonglong said with a bitter smile.

    “Although my master’s cultivation is not high, just at Spirit Origin Realm, he will always be my master and one of the people I respect the most.”

    “I see. You can, of course, go back to see him. If possible, you can also bring him some opportunities in the future to help him step into the Great Transcendence.”

    Wang Ping patted Cai Yonglong on the shoulder and said with a smile.

    He had previously been puzzled about why Cai Yonglong’s Golden Finger didn’t seem to greatly aid survival. Now, he finally understood.

    He encountered a benefactor, was accepted as a disciple, and thus could join a sect and grow quickly in a short period.

    “It’s something I must do. But for now, even my cultivation resources are provided by you, Brother Wang, so I still need to work hard to cultivate and become stronger first.”

    Cai Yonglong sighed.

    “Don’t think too much about it; you must get stronger as soon as possible. Only by getting stronger can you fully utilize the effects of your Golden Finger and help me, becoming my right-hand man… Otherwise, even if your Golden Finger is good, you won’t be able to enter certain secret realms. Even if you do enter, you’ll just end up dead.”

    Wang Ping shook his head and reminded him.

    “Uh, is this the future you saw, Brother Wang?”

    Cai Yonglong’s face twitched.

    “Yes, I took you to a high-level secret realm, and then you ended up dead.”

    Wang Ping said with a strange look.

    “I later used my ability again and let you cultivate demonic arts. Your cultivation speed increased, and you finally caught up with me, without dying.”

    “Demonic arts!?”

    Cai Yonglong’s eyes lit up with a bit of eagerness.

    “Don’t even think about it; your state of mind isn’t enough. If you cultivate demonic arts, you will completely fall into demonic influences.”

    Wang Ping frowned and seriously reminded him.

    “Actually, I’ve always had a question.”

    Cai Yonglong hesitated for a while before speaking.

    “What?” Wang Ping asked.

    “Brother Wang, during your simulations, you can’t use the Life Simulator, can you? That would be like a Matryoshka doll. So, can I also infer that the presence of the chat group is also reduced?”

    Cai Yonglong hesitated for a moment but still chose to voice his thoughts.

    This was also a guess by the smart people in the group.

    “Correct. The presence of the chat group is indeed diminished.” Wang Ping nodded.

    “Wait, do you mean that if you cultivate demonic arts and have group points and other methods from the group, you can avoid the issue of falling into demonic influences?”

    Suddenly, Wang Ping seemed to think of something, and his eyes flashed.

    “Yes, that’s what I think.”

    Cai Yonglong said a little hesitantly.

    “In my current condition, if I cultivate normally, I’ll probably never be able to keep up with you, Brother Wang. Only by following the demonic path can I keep up. If there are group points, they may solve the issue of falling into demonic influences. Besides, there are also the calming spells from Zhang Hu’s world and Chen Yao’s calming Dao techniques.”

    “It’s worth a try.”

    Wang Ping rubbed his chin and pondered.

    Indeed, the Life Simulator did diminish the presence of the chat group and other group members.

    Falling into demonic influences did have significant risks, but if the side effects could be mitigated, it would be great.

    “However, even if the risks can be mitigated, I don’t think there’s any need for you to cultivate demonic arts for now.”

    After a pause, Wang Ping spoke again.

    “Why not?”

    Cai Yonglong asked, somewhat puzzled.

    “The grade of the techniques is too low; their limits are too low.”

    Wang Ping’s eyes flashed as he uttered these words.
    The technique he practiced was the Bloodthirsty Demon Art of Blood Demon Yuan Feng.

    This technique was of the high-grade Heavenly level, which used to be quite strong for him.

    However, now that he had grown so much, his horizons expanded due to the various information obtained from simulations. The high-grade Heavenly level demonic arts seemed somewhat weak and lacked accompanying inheritance.

    Under such circumstances, Cai Yonglong’s future would be limited to condensing a Grade Four Profound Elixir and reaching the Life and Death Realm at best.

    Although the Life and Death Realm is not bad, Wang Ping didn’t want Cai Yonglong to be stuck at this level.

    Through the Life Simulator, Wang Ping also knew that Cai Yonglong’s character was truly good. He genuinely intended to nurture Cai Yonglong into his right-hand man.

    Therefore, even if Cai Yonglong couldn’t condense a flawless Profound Elixir, Wang Ping hoped he could at least condense a Grade One Profound Elixir, giving him the potential to become a king or even an emperor in the future.

    “Too low a limit? What level is this demonic art?”

    Cai Yonglong was a bit disappointed but also asked somewhat unwillingly.

    “High-grade Heavenly.”

    Wang Ping shook his head and said.

    “Pfft!”

    Cai Yonglong was taken aback, looking at Wang Ping in astonishment.

    Damn, since when did Brother Wang become so extravagant? He actually thinks a high-grade Heavenly level technique is trash, too low in grade and limit.

    “Practicing this demonic art, you’ll easily fall into madness, and in the future, you’ll only reach the ordinary Life and Death Realm at best.”

    Wang Ping glanced at Cai Yonglong and said.

    “Brother Wang, may I ask, what are the realms after the Profound Elixir Realm?”

    Cai Yonglong was silent for a moment, feeling that his knowledge and vision were completely on a different level compared to Wang Ping.

    This made Cai Yonglong sigh.

    In the past, he had explained cultivation levels to Wang Ping.

    Now, the situation was completely reversed.

    “Above the Profound Elixir Realm, from lowest to highest, are the Yin-Yang Realm, Life and Death Realm, Nirvana Realm, King Realm, and Emperor Realm.”

    Wang Ping explained.

    “The Life and Death Realm, that’s not bad.” Cai Yonglong rubbed his chin.

    “As a transmigrator, can’t you aim a bit higher? Forget becoming an emperor, at least aim to become a king.”

    Wang Ping speechlessly slapped Cai Yonglong on the shoulder and said.

    “Uh, you have a point.” Cai Yonglong felt a bit embarrassed.

    Having died once and being surpassed by new group members, he felt somewhat defeated and was a bit demoralized.

    “So, what should we do? Is there a demonic art stronger than this?”

    Cai Yonglong asked curiously.

    “Currently, there isn’t. But… I can try to get one.”

    Wang Ping’s eyes sparkled.

    That senior transmigrator had established the notorious Nine Nether Demon Sect.

    If he dared to risk his life by joining the Nine Nether Demon Sect and getting access to its cultivation demonic arts, leveraging the Life Simulator to obtain them for free, that would be fantastic.

    Of course, Wang Ping knew the success rate was very low, but he had to try, didn’t he?

    Without trying, Wang Ping wouldn’t be satisfied.

    However, Wang Ping soon felt discouraged.

    He couldn’t control the actions of the Wang Ping in the Life Simulator.

    Given his personality, the simulated Wang Ping would never act according to his will, recklessly joining the Nine Nether Demon Sect and obtaining demonic arts was entirely out of the question.

    “Tsk, I need to earn more group points to optimize the Life Simulator again.”

    Wang Ping clicked his tongue.

    “Really possible? Brother Wang, you’re awesome!” Cai Yonglong was excited.

    “It doesn’t seem possible, at least not in the short term. I’ll have to wait until I optimize my Golden Finger again. Currently, I still need nine million group points.”

    Wang Ping looked at the excited Cai Yonglong and sighed.

    Alpha treated him as the acting group leader very well.

    Purchasing the Golden Finger optimizer was at a 90% discount.

    Therefore, compared to other group members needing a hundred million group points, he only needed ten million group points for the next Golden Finger optimizer.
