137 – Cultivation Explodes! Killing the Anomaly!

“This anomaly is very powerful. If we want to deal with it, we must have higher combat strength. Or perhaps this anomaly, like the zombie anomaly and the Pope anomaly, is also developmental in nature. Attacking it now might give us a chance to kill it…”

Wang Ping exhaled lightly, his gaze flickering uncertainly as he analyzed.

“Very likely. However, with too little current information, Brother Wang, you need to continue gathering intelligence,” Qin Tian said seriously.

“Hmm.”

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

Wang Ping nodded and reactivated the simulation.

“Ding, Life Simulator activated, free simulation starting, remaining free simulations: 13.”

The system’s voice rang out, a screen appeared, and text appeared.

【Day One, after discussing strategies, you headed to Fog Mountain. You attempted to attack Fog Mountain with all your might, intending to destroy it, but were easily stopped again. Soon after, you died twice in a row from the attacks of the white mist.】

【Due to your death, this simulation ends.】

“So short.”

Wang Ping was speechless.

He had simulated many times, but this was the first time it ended so quickly.

It could only be said that the target was clear this time, and they could directly attack it, but the opponent being too powerful was also a problem.

At this moment, the talent ‘Unfinished Business’ was triggered once again.

Wang Ping saw the scene of Fog Mountain.

This time, when he attacked Fog Mountain, it was stopped by the white mist again, but the effect seemed slightly stronger than last time.

Although the difference was not significant, one had to observe carefully to notice it. Nonetheless, it was different.

Wang Ping rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

“Brother Wang, how did it go?” Lin Yuanyuan asked.

“The other party is indeed developmental… But there’s bad news. The other party has developed to a very powerful level. Even if we take action now, they can easily crush us all,” Wang Ping shook his head and said.

“This…” Qin Tian felt a headache.

This was the first time he encountered an anomaly that revealed its position from the start but was completely beyond their capability to handle.

Of course, the charm anomaly was an exception; its power wasn’t in strength but in its ability.

“Uh, is it very troublesome?” Chen Kang asked, puzzled.

“Of course, it’s troublesome. Dealing with anomalies can easily lead to a total wipeout,” Wu Jun said helplessly.

“…” Chen Kang fell silent.

Good heavens! He had just been resurrected and was already participating in such a dangerous mission?

Was he going to die again?

If he died this time, who would resurrect him?

“No rush, I’ll enhance my strength first,” Wang Ping shook his head and said.

It seemed that this time he had no choice but to increase his cultivation.

If it still didn’t work, he planned to exploit bugs, teleport back to the Purple Spirit Realm to earn spirit stones for simulations, crazily strengthen himself, and then return to eliminate the anomaly.

After all, there are more ways than difficulties.

“How to enhance strength? This world doesn’t have spiritual energy,” Qin Tian murmured.

Wang Ping didn’t say much, only brought up the rewards page.

Then, he made his choice directly.

“System, I choose ①. Half-Step Yin-Yang Realm cultivation and ⑥. Red Talent: True Dragon Form,” Wang Ping thought in his heart.

As Wang Ping made his choice, he felt his cultivation soar wildly.

The Profound Elixir within him also transformed into a Flawless Profound Elixir, engraved with Grade One Yin Power.

“Half-Step Yin-Yang Realm cultivation, indeed powerful. But my current strength is still not up to par with the simulated Wang Ping. After all, I lack divine abilities and secret techniques of the corresponding level,” Wang Ping thought to himself.

However, Half-Step Yin-Yang Realm’s strength should be enough.

If it wasn’t, it would cost him greatly, something he did not want to see.

“Brother Wang, you…”

Presently, the stronger Qin Tian and Lin Yuanyuan felt Wang Ping’s aura change, though they didn’t know exactly by how much, and looked on in amazement.
“Nothing much, just boosted my strength a bit. Now, I possess Half-Step Yin-Yang Realm cultivation. According to the evaluation of the chat group, I’ve finally reached Seven Stars…”

Wang Ping casually waved his hand as he spoke.

“!!!”

Everyone present, except Chen Kang, displayed expressions of shock upon hearing Wang Ping’s words.

Half-Step Yin-Yang Realm, that’s just absurd! And, the Seven Star combat power evaluation from the chat group, that’s the power to wipe out a medium-sized country in a short time. The concrete reference is Fusang Nation.

“So, what’s Seven Star combat power? Is it strong?” Chen Kang asked, puzzled.

“Brother, it’s the power to annihilate a nation single-handedly,” Chen Si cautiously explained.

“No, to be precise, I can now sink Fusang Nation with a single strike,” Wang Ping said with a confident smile.

“Huh!”

Chen Kang widened his eyes, staring at Wang Ping in utter amazement.

Goodness, he knew Wang Ping was the big shot in the group, definitely strong, but this was over the top!

To sink Fusang Nation with a single strike, this is just too absurd.

“I thought I had caught up a bit with Brother Wang, but the gap just keeps widening…,” Qin Tian couldn’t help but mutter.

He had now reached the peak of the Golden Core Realm, ready to step into the Nascent Soul Realm at any time, but compared to Wang Ping, he was still far behind.

Lin Yuanyuan didn’t speak. She had improved a lot too, but she was still far from the Seven Star level…

There was no way around it, the span between star levels was simply too vast.

“Brother Wang, now that you’ve reached Seven Stars, you should be able to eliminate the anomaly, right,” Wu Jun said expectantly.

“Not necessarily. This anomaly gives me an uneasy feeling,” Wang Ping said with a frown.

Then, he closed his eyes and said in his heart, “System, I want to continue the Free Simulation.”

“Ding, Life Simulator activated, Free Simulation started, remaining free simulations for the host: 12 times.”

The system’s voice sounded, and the text began to appear on the screen.

【On the first day, you went to Fog Mountain, unleashing terrifying combat power in an attempt to destroy Fog Mountain. This time, your power was immense; the white fog within Fog Mountain started to be destroyed as it tried to defend.】

【However, you were unable to destroy the white fog, resulting in a stalemate. In the end, you couldn’t destroy Fog Mountain, and it couldn’t kill you either. Helplessly, you withdrew temporarily.】

【When Wu Jun and others learned of the situation, they were highly troubled, not knowing what to do. Lin Yuanyuan suggested that Wu Jun use his ability to break the deadlock.】

【Though embarrassed, Wu Jun decided to use his ability. Then, Chen Kang turned into a woman. Seeing this, everyone fell silent, with Chen Kang collapsing mentally. Sure enough, Wu Jun’s Golden Finger is perverse, with its upper limit ridiculously high, but its lower limit absurdly low, full of uncertainties.】

【Afterward, you discussed strategies. Eventually, Lin Yuanyuan came up with a bold suggestion: she wanted to have sex with you to grow stronger. Together, perhaps you could defeat Fog Mountain. You had the Rebirth Talisman, so you should be able to be revived.】

【Your eyelids twitched wildly, not expecting Lin Yuanyuan to make such a suggestion. However, it did seem like a viable method. The Rebirth Talisman on you should be beyond the limits of Lin Yuanyuan’s ability… If Lin Yuanyuan could also grow stronger, then indeed you might have a chance to destroy Fog Mountain.】

【In the end, you chose to copulate. After an exhilarating experience, Lin Yuanyuan used her ability to drain you to death. However, your Rebirth Talisman failed to revive you.】

【Due to your death, this simulation ends.】

“Absurd…” Wang Ping’s expression turned strange.

This Rebirth Talisman, was it so unreliable? To think it couldn’t bring him back after Lin Yuanyuan drained him…

Or was it that these ten thousand group points for the Rebirth Talisman were spent on a shoddy product.

“Alpha, give me an explanation,” Wang Ping said in his heart.

“The Golden Fingers you awaken have both strengths and weaknesses, but they aren’t so simple. Their upper limit in terms of capability is on par with anomalies; some may even surpass them. Do you think a mere Rebirth Talisman created for ten thousand group points can revive you under Lin Yuanyuan’s absolute kill ability?” Alpha’s voice was cold and merciless.

“Alright, I have nothing to say,” Wang Ping fell silent.

It seemed he was correct in his assumption…

The Rebirth Talisman was useful, but not infallible…

Chat group’s ten thousand point price was likely a markup, with Alpha earning a cut. On careful thought, Alpha’s cost would be much lower…

“However, since you mentioned it, can’t you sell the Rebirth Talisman at cost? Set some restrictions,” Wang Ping suddenly realized and said in his heart.

“The principle of the Rebirth Talisman is temporal regression within a short period. Frequent use may cause issues, requiring more of the world’s origin to fill this loophole,” Alpha explained coldly.

“You mean, whether through the Rebirth Talisman or the chat group’s resurrection mechanism, each additional death will exponentially increase the group points required for the next resurrection?”
Wang Ping’s eyes narrowed slightly as he asked in his heart.

“That’s exactly right.” Alpha replied.

“Why didn’t you clarify this? If our group doesn’t know and they die in the future, it will be a problem.”

Wang Ping was speechless.

“Not mentioning it is what keeps them at ease. Otherwise, they would still fear death…”

Alpha explained.

“This approach makes things more likely to go wrong,” Wang Ping sighed in his heart, “Alpha, you really don’t understand people.”

Alpha: “…”

“Forget it, I won’t argue with you.”

Wang Ping furrowed his brow, pondering a way to break the situation.

This was indeed troublesome.

Even with a Half-Step Yin-Yang Realm cultivation, he couldn’t defeat the opponent; this was truly absurd.

Could it be that he really needed to go back and level up his combat power again?

“Brother Wang, it’s still not working?”

Seeing Wang Ping’s changing expressions, everyone else’s faces paled anew.

Even a Seven-Star level combat power couldn’t suffice, this anomaly was too strong.

“Indeed, it’s not working.”

Wang Ping sighed.

“However, I’m thinking about a question. Where is this anomaly’s true body? Could it really be hidden in Fog Mountain?”

Pausing for a moment, Wang Ping spoke again.

Anomalies need to possess an object in this world.

Perhaps this is how they evade the world’s awareness.

Thus, their primary objective each time is to find the anomaly’s true body; only then would they have half a success.

Currently, they hadn’t found the anomaly’s true body because they had died three times in Fog Mountain, wasting three simulation opportunities…

This time, the situation seemed more troublesome than ever.

“Brother Wang, I have a suggestion.”

After a moment of silence, Lin Yuanyuan spoke up.

“What suggestion?”

Wang Ping and the others looked over.

“Kill everyone in the world, spend the time to clear the surface and force him out.”

Lin Yuanyuan said coldly.

These words made Qin Tian’s pupils shrink, reminding him of an argument he once had with Zhang Jun about exterminating all mankind.

Wu Jun’s face also shifted.

As for the siblings Chen Kang and Chen Si, their faces turned pale.

Slaughtering all humanity, that was far too brutal.

“Anyway, it’s not happening for real, no need to take it too seriously.”

Lin Yuanyuan added quickly upon seeing everyone shocked.

“It’s worth a try.”

Wang Ping’s eyes flickered as he nodded.

If it was to find the anomaly’s true body in the Life Simulator, any method was worth a try.

Compared to the psychological test of committing such an act, the consequences of mission failure were even worse.

Immediately, Wang Ping closed his eyes again and began a free simulation.

【On the first day, you began your operation. After giving yourself a mental suggestion, you prepared to start the massacre. Just as you made your move to destroy the Royal City, a large amount of white fog shifted from Fog Mountain, blocking your powerful strike and protecting the Royal City from destruction.】

【You were astonished that the anomaly was hidden in the Royal City. Lin Yuanyuan was particularly terrified. With the anomaly hiding in the Royal City, she hadn’t detected it, meaning it could take her life at any moment.】

【You began fighting the anomaly. Perhaps due to being far from Fog Mountain, the white fog seemed weaker. You were delighted by this and launched aggressive attacks, dispersing it.】

【However, what happened next was beyond your expectation. The people in the Royal City all anomalously turned into fog, merging with the white fog and becoming much stronger. During this process, Chen Kang, Chen Si, and Wu Jun nearly became fog as well. Fortunately, you were vigilant, not letting any material enter your bodies, nor watching the enemy in battle after dealing with a charm anomaly.】

【You used energy barriers to block the fog’s invasion, avoiding the fate of turning into white fog.】

【However, the white fog grew stronger. Despite discovering the anomaly’s true body and weakening it by half with Chen Si’s help, it remained incredibly powerful, regenerating instantly by absorbing fog after you injured it severely.】

【This left you with a severe headache. You wanted to use Lin Yuanyuan’s strength to kill it completely, but the method was ineffective as the host was female.】

【In the end, you exhausted most of your strength. Although Chen Kang tried to imprison it under your guidance for a chance to kill it again, it was futile. While its true body could be restrained, the fog was still free to attack and defend, falling outside the ability’s scope. Furthermore, the power disparity was too great; the imprisonment lasted less than a tenth of a second.】

【Ultimately, you all were slaughtered by the fog anomaly, failing to kill it.】

【Upon your death, the simulation ended.】
“Still dead? However, this time, I finally gained a lot.”

Wang Ping looked at the simulation content and smiled.

“Brother Wang, how is it?”

Seeing Wang Ping’s smile, everyone’s eyes showed hopeful expressions.

“Finally caught its true form. But, you all wait a moment.”

Wang Ping said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Ping’s consciousness flickered, and his vision changed, appearing in a certain place.

In this area, the Royal City had long vanished, leaving behind a bottomless pit.

In the sky, a fierce battle was taking place.

On one side, naturally, was Wang Ping; on the other side, was a beautiful woman dressed in a green robe.

After Wang Ping gazed deeply at the green-robed woman, his vision returned to normal after the simulated Wang Ping’s death.

“Where is the anomaly’s true form?”

Lin Yuanyuan anxiously inquired.

Facing unreasonable anomalies, she felt no sense of security at all and just wanted to uncover and eliminate them quickly.

“The anomaly’s true form is hiding in the Royal City.”

Wang Ping stared at Lin Yuanyuan with a strange look, then spoke.

As soon as these words came out, Lin Yuanyuan’s expression froze instantly.

Qin Tian spit out a mouthful of spiritual tea, staring at Wang Ping in shock.

Wu Jun’s face twitched, looking at Lin Yuanyuan with a compassionate gaze.

Chen Kang and Chen Si looked at each other, realizing the gravity of the situation.

“It’s actually in the Royal City.” Lin Yuanyuan, after regaining her composure, turned pale.

There was no way, the shock was too great.

Doesn’t this mean the other side could kill her anytime it wanted?

“Wait a minute, if it’s in the Royal City, why hasn’t it attacked me?”

Lin Yuanyuan asked in confusion.

“Maybe it’s raising fish, waiting for us to come over. Or perhaps moving the white fog from Fog Mountain requires some cost,” Wang Ping speculated.

“However, now is not the time to talk. There’s probably an informant in the court, and our arrival has been exposed. Qin Tian, activate the array and surround the entire Royal City.”

While chatting, Wang Ping had kept his Spiritual Sense expanded, keeping an eye on the anomaly, naturally noticing some thin white fog silently appearing and spreading toward them. He looked at Qin Tian and calmly gave the order.

In this place, only Qin Tian was truly skilled in formations.

Wang Ping had always wanted to learn formations, but unfortunately, he never had the chance to acquire the relevant talent or study advanced formations.

“Leave it to me.”

Qin Tian grinned and directly took out a formation disk.

In an instant, the formation disk began to operate, dozens of special flags turning into streaks of light descending on various parts of the Royal City, gradually forming an extremely powerful array.

Even Wang Ping, looking at this array, showed a surprised expression.

This array was incredibly profound. Wang Ping felt that even with his current strength, breaking it would require some effort.

In other words, it was virtually impossible for a cultivator in the Profound Elixir Realm to break it, making its defense undeniably formidable.

“This is something I got from my master; even a peak Nascent Soul stage cultivator using a powerful treasure would find it hard to break.”

Seeing Wang Ping’s surprise, Qin Tian said proudly.

“Your master treats you well.”

Wang Ping remarked.

Lin Yuanyuan, Wu Jun, and Chen Si nodded in envy.

Chen Kang sighed, thinking about how many big shots were in their group.

“Of course. However, I’ve emptied my master’s treasury. I believe it’s necessary to wait for those ancestors to come out of seclusion and then pluck some more wool.”

Qin Tian licked his lips, eager with excitement.

“Those ancestors’ cultivation levels are not below the God Transformation Realm. They must have many good things on them.”

Wang Ping and the others all rolled their eyes.

Qin Tian was really lucky, having joined the Thunder Realm Sanctuary with its deep heritage, and was covered in treasures.

This time, they were facing a powerful anomaly, otherwise, he could handle ordinary situations.

During the array’s deployment, the fog no longer concealed itself. The anomaly knew it was exposed and quickly spread, gradually covering the entire city, also curling toward Wang Ping.

In response, Wang Ping calmly formed a barrier around himself and the others with his powerful Spiritual Essence, then spoke to Qin Tian: “Qin Tian, Lin Yuanyuan, protect Wu Jun, Chen Si, and Chen Kang.”

“Chen Si, Chen Kang, wait for my command before using your abilities.”
After these words fell, Wang Ping erupted with terrifying strength, directly dispersing the surrounding white mist and flying into the sky.

Qin Tian, remaining calm, also took out another formation disk.

This time, it wasn’t a trapping formation, but a defensive formation. The range was small, but the defensive power was stronger, so strong that even a peak Nascent Soul stage cultivator couldn’t break it.

According to his master’s words, this was a good item left by their grandmaster during seclusion.

This was only because Qin Tian’s cultivation was too low. If his master were to control the formation disk, even a regular Transformation stage cultivator would need a lot of effort to break it.

As Wang Ping flew into the sky, the anomaly of the mist also flew up, looking at Wang Ping in surprise and speaking: ‘How did you discover me?’

‘You don’t need to know.’

Wang Ping said coldly.

Although, in the last simulation, they were still defeated, this time dealing with anomaly, it was only a forced move. But Wang Ping wouldn’t be defeated so quickly.

Therefore, he could completely simulate during the battle and search for a chance to win.

Besides, Wang Ping had many ways to deal with anomalies.

After all, in the simulation, many methods couldn’t be used.

But reality was different, all kinds of methods could be used.

That is to say, as long as he could capture the anomaly’s real body, the success rate would be very high.

Of course, if possible, Wang Ping still didn’t want to see this situation again.

Just arriving in this world, he was immediately ambushed by an anomaly, which was really unpleasant.

‘Hehe, it doesn’t matter if you don’t say it… you’re doomed to die anyway.’

The mist anomaly sneered and chose to attack.

In an instant, everyone covered by the white mist in the Royal City turned into white mist, making the white mist extremely dense.

Then, this white mist swept towards Wang Ping.

Wang Ping snorted coldly, condensed a long sword in his hand, and slashed out sword energy, tearing apart part of the white mist.

However, the mist anomaly’s power was indeed far above Wang Ping’s. Wang Ping couldn’t completely tear it apart and had to strike again.

‘Chen Si, take action.’

Wang Ping shouted.

Upon Wang Ping’s call, Chen Si used his ability, forcibly weakening half of the mist anomaly’s combat power.

Sensing that her power had dropped by half, the mist anomaly’s expression changed slightly, glaring at Chen Si.

Then, she snorted uncomfortably, the mist surged, and even more anomalous mist beasts formed, attacking Chen Si.

However, although these mist beasts were powerful, they could never reach the seven-star combat power level. With Qin Tian’s defensive formation protecting them, Qin Tian and Chen Si wouldn’t be in danger for the time being.

This made the mist anomaly even more unsatisfied.

‘Do you think you can kill me just because you’ve weakened half my combat power? Naive.’

The mist anomaly said to Wang Ping, launching a more ferocious attack. The white mist transformed into various weapons, attacking Wang Ping.

Wang Ping wasn’t to be outdone either, condensing various long swords, erupting with Great Perfection Sunset Sword Intent, and meeting the opponent with a myriad of swords returning to their origins.

At the same time, Wang Ping initiated a new simulation.

【You are fighting the mist anomaly. You are not its match and intentionally conceal your strength, getting wounded by the anomaly. At the same time, you make Chen Kang suddenly become powerful, greatly extending the Imprisonment time. You coordinate with Qin Tian and Chen Kang, catching the mist anomaly off guard and eventually eliminating it.】

【You successfully complete the task and leave this world.】

【Due to your departure from this world, the simulation ends.】

‘I guessed there might be a possibility of it being just an avatar, but it seems I was overly worried.’

Wang Ping’s eyes gleamed, and the corners of his mouth slightly curved up.

He could think of many ways to kill the mist anomaly, but this was the most cost-effective. He didn’t expect just this method to succeed.

The opponent was very clever, knowing to separate abilities and the real body to ambush Lin Yuanyuan, and might have prepared more survival methods.

And avatars were one of the common methods.

Now it seems that either the opponent didn’t have this ability or he caught her off guard, directly using the formation to seal the city. The distance from Fog Mountain was too far, making many methods unusable.

Anyway, the advantage is mine.

Immediately, Wang Ping transmitted a message to Qin Tian and Chen Kang in his mind.

He asked Qin Tian to first transfer one hundred thousand group points to Chen Kang to strengthen him, extend the Imprisonment time, and then suddenly imprison the anomaly, working together to kill it.

Following Wang Ping’s instructions, the two naturally obeyed without hesitation and began the operation.

Soon, Chen Kang’s aura skyrocketed.

‘That guy suddenly became stronger. But even if he’s stronger, he’s still just a weakling.’

The mist anomaly noticed Chen Kang’s changes and squinted her eyes.

Although she considered Chen Kang a weakling, his ability was still a threat, so she kept part of her focus on him.

‘But first, I must deal with this most troublesome guy.’
The Fog Anomaly looked at Wang Ping and launched an even more ferocious attack.

In response, Wang Ping pretended to be overpowered and was driven into a dismal state by the Fog Anomaly’s fierce onslaught, even spitting blood from time to time.

This made the Fog Anomaly feel confident.

Even though her combat strength had been weakened by half, the opponent’s strongest power was still not her match.

“Qin Tian, you go first! Then, Chen Kang, use your ability from behind.”

At the moment when the Fog Anomaly became a bit careless, Wang Ping took advantage of it and sent a telepathic message to Qin Tian and Chen Kang.

In response, Qin Tian took out a talisman, aimed at the Fog Anomaly, and directly burned his essence blood to activate it.

Qin Tian’s hair turned white at a speed visible to the naked eye, but the talisman also radiated a strong light, and terrifying power emerged from it.

This caught the attention of the Fog Anomaly.

Although Qin Tian’s attack couldn’t hurt her, it would certainly cause her some trouble.

Normally, she wouldn’t care, but in a battle against a formidable enemy, she had to be cautious.

Of course, it was just caution.

When Qin Tian fully activated the talisman, turning it into a purple thunder dragon roaring towards the Fog Anomaly, she made her move as well, manipulating part of the fog to block in that direction.

But at that moment, Chen Kang suddenly used his ability, specifically imprisoning the Fog Anomaly.

This made the Fog Anomaly’s expression freeze, showing a look of astonishment, as if she couldn’t believe she was imprisoned by such a weakling.

Meanwhile, Wang Ping revealed his true power.

He activated his spirit body without hesitation, entering a Berserk State.

To ensure victory, Wang Ping even burned his essence blood directly and used a secret technique to elevate his strength further.

Following this, he unleashed the most powerful move from the Blood Demon Nine Shadows Sword, sending nine blood-shadow swords one after another towards the Fog Anomaly.

“Not good!”

The Fog Anomaly’s face changed, wanting to turn into mist and merge into the white fog.

However, to her horror, she found that in her imprisoned state, she could not even use this strongest life-saving card.

At that moment, she felt a sense of hopelessness, only able to watch as the sword aura like the scorching sun fell.

Although the Fog Anomaly desperately gathered fog for defense at the critical moment, Wang Ping’s timing was too impeccable. The deadly strike that exploded the moment she was imprisoned was something she couldn’t block.

In the end, the Fog Anomaly, in her despair, was completely engulfed by Wang Ping’s sword aura, her body torn apart by the Sword Intent and then burned to ashes by the terrifying high temperature.

“Ding, the Fog Anomaly is dead. The group mission is completed, and rewards have been individually issued. Each group member can claim their reward on the group reward page.”

“Ding, the group mission is completed. You can return to your world by silently reciting ‘return’ in your mind. If not returned within twenty-four hours, the System will forcibly return you to your original world.”

As the Fog Anomaly turned to ashes, the voice of the chat group system echoed in everyone’s ears, making Wang Ping and the others smile.

This time, though a bit thrilling, they were lucky that no unforeseen events happened.

“Brother Wang, you’re so reliable!”

Qin Tian said excitedly.

“No, everyone’s performance was great.”

Wang Ping returned to Qin Tian and the others, chuckling.

“Uh, I didn’t do anything… Is this considered freeloading 200,000 group points?”

Wu Jun touched his face and said somewhat subtly.

“I didn’t do anything either. This is clearly my world. Even worse, I was ambushed by the anomaly, almost causing the whole team to fall.”

Lin Yuanyuan also sighed.

“Indeed, that part is not quite right. So, if transmigrators can keep a low profile, it’s best to do so. Although being an Empress is satisfying, it’s too conspicuous and easily noticed by those with intentions. Even if you are the strongest in this world, the anomaly from the outside or other entities can easily discover your peculiarity.”

Wang Ping nodded and said without coddling Lin Yuanyuan.

“I got it.” Lin Yuanyuan smiled helplessly.

She had just had a sudden thought of experiencing what it felt like to be an Empress, and then she used force to rise to power.

Who could have thought that she would be ambushed by an anomaly, leading to frustration…

“Alright, since the mission is completed, everyone can go back to their homes now.”

After saying this with a smile, Wang Ping chose to return, turning into a white light and disappearing.

Qin Tian, Chen Si, Chen Kang, Wu Jun, and the others also bid farewell and chose to return to their original worlds.

As Chen Kang returned, Zhang Jun was startled, looking at him with a strange expression, not expecting Chen Kang to come back so quickly.

For a moment, Zhang Jun felt that this group mission seemed very simple.

Then, he asked Chen Kang about it.

In response, Chen Kang naturally didn’t hide anything. Although he didn’t know many details, he still knew the rough process, so he roughly explained the situation.

After listening, Zhang Jun’s face twitched.

“My goodness, the anomaly even started ambushing? That’s absurd. It’s a good thing Brother Wang’s strength has soared to seven stars, and there’s support from Chen Si and Chen Kang. Qin Tian’s contribution is also not small. Otherwise, they really might have failed…”
Zhang Jun muttered in his heart.

Although the mission was completed quickly this time, even faster than the anomaly with the zombies, it was still very dangerous. Even with Brother Wang’s Golden Finger, they could have been wiped out at any moment.

Therefore, although Zhang Jun envied Chen Kang and the others for earning a lot of group points, he also felt that dealing with anomalies was something one should avoid unless they became the top combatant in the group or gained some special abilities.

“Maybe I can save up points to draw a new Golden Finger.”

Zhang Jun couldn’t help but think.

His telekinesis, although not weak, was indeed much weaker compared to the Golden Fingers of other group members.

So, he really wanted to replace it.

In fact, he had already decided to replace it and was just waiting to accumulate enough group points.

“Chen Kang, how many group points did you earn this time?”

Zhang Jun couldn’t help but ask.

“Uh, I just claimed the group red packet, and it said I earned 400,000 group points. However, I owe Qin Tian 100,000 group points and repaid my sister 200,000, so I have 100,000 left.”

Chen Kang said honestly.

“Damn!”

Zhang Jun was speechless.

Gaining 400,000 group points at once, and Chen Kang was definitely not the one who contributed the most.

Now, dealing with anomalies in the chat group seemed more profitable than Zhang Jun had imagined!

Not only was Zhang Jun shocked, but everyone in the chat group who knew about the mission was also shocked.

This mission was really fast and very dangerous.

Moreover, the group points earned by those who participated in the mission were very enviable.

Chen Si, 400,000 group points.

Qin Tian, 400,000 group points.

Lin Yuanyuan, guaranteed reward: 200,000 group points.

Wu Jun, guaranteed reward: 200,000 group points.

This harvest was incredibly rich, richer than any previous mission.

If they could have a few more missions like this, they might easily optimize or replace their Golden Fingers.

Of course, using the points to directly enhance one’s strength was also extremely satisfying.

While the group was bustling with discussions about group points and speculating how many Wang Ping had earned, Wang Ping had returned to the Purple Spirit Realm. Instead of opening the chat group immediately, he was healing his injuries.

After all, he had been injured during the mission, and burning his vital essence had caused significant harm to himself.

“Vital essence should not be burned carelessly. Replenishing it requires rare treasures.”

After finishing his healing, Wang Ping still felt weak and sighed.

Using a bug to enhance his cultivation had elevated his Profound Elixir to a flawless quality, but he didn’t seem to possess the Nirvana Force that comes after consuming the Nirvana Fruit.

Thus, burning his vital essence inflicted significant damage.

If he had Nirvana Force, the side effects wouldn’t be as severe.

“The Nirvana Fruit… This thing must be consumed when breaking through to the Nirvana Realm to maximize its effects. Only then can one undergo a perfect Nirvana and enter the Nirvana Realm.”

Wang Ping couldn’t help but take out the Nirvana Fruit and mutter.

“So, it must be kept hidden and unused.”

Wang Ping shook his head and put it away.

Then he opened the chat group page and chose to claim his red packet.

Wang Ping received a reward of one million group points.

Seeing he had earned so many group points, Wang Ping’s first reaction was not joy but silence.

After a few seconds, Wang Ping finally muttered to himself with a twitching face: “Alpha, how many group points did you embezzle from us in the past? Or was my understanding of the 19% split wrong?”

Alpha did not respond to Wang Ping’s question.

Wang Ping was left speechless and felt this guy was guilty of being a thief.

However, Wang Ping couldn’t say much.

Although Alpha had given him significant authority, he was still his superior. He could argue with his superior but being too aggressive would definitely cause problems.

Thus, Wang Ping could only comfort himself that Alpha was now much more generous and shouldn’t be overly criticized. Otherwise, Alpha might turn hostile again.

After clearing his mind, Wang Ping finally spoke up in the group.

Wang Ping (66): “See, I told you that the rewards for dealing with anomalies would be very generous in the future, so there’s no need to be afraid. Of course, dealing with anomalies requires high-level combatants or those with special abilities from the group. Members with insufficient strength won’t be allowed on such missions in the future.”

Zhang Hu (5): “Uh, it feels like Brother Wang is just drawing us a pie… But this pie does smell delicious.”

Chen Yao (71): “I’m curious, how many group points did Brother Wang earn?”

Wang Ping (66): “Not many, just one million. So in the future, high-level combatants in the group should actively participate. There’s a lot of group points to be earned. Temptation.jpg.”
