187 – Lin Qinghe’s Dark Past! Cultivation Advances!
by spirapira“Ding, fast-forwarding…
The System’s voice sounded, the screen lit up, and text began to appear.
【Day One: You chose to act. Because you knew the location of the Divine Monarch’s ancient tomb, you went there early. Using the Space Laws, you infiltrated it easily and obtained numerous resources.】
【Next, you considered whether to join the Dao Palace. Joining the Dao Palace would make you too conspicuous and would surely draw the attention of the transmigrators from the Second-Generation Chat Group, making it extremely dangerous.】
【Ultimately, you chose not to join the Dao Palace in the central region of the Great Origin Ancient Star, but instead concealed your identity and power, joining the White Flame Divine Sect very low-key, becoming a guest elder.】
【In a blink of an eye, the time for the opening of the Great Saint Secret Realm arrived. You quietly left the White Flame Divine Sect, acting as you remembered.】
【However, your luck this time did not seem very good. You did not trigger the effect of the purple talent: Infinite Blade. The ambush did not send the Divine Monarch Realm expert from the Zhang Family flying, nor did you manage to seize the holy medicine.】
【Your ambush enraged the Divine Monarch Realm expert from the Zhang Family, who attacked you. In desperation, you could only escape. You escaped quickly, and even the Great Perfection-level expert from the Divine Monarch Realm of the Zhang Family could not catch you, only watching helplessly as you fled.】
“So, it was the credit of the purple talent: Infinite Blade… Now, even when I use the power of the laws and launch a sneak attack, it’s hard to send a Great Perfection-level Divine Monarch Realm expert flying or shift them.”
Wang Ping looked at the simulation content, frowning slightly and sighed inwardly.
It seemed that the idea of endlessly farming holy medicines to reach the Divine Monarch Realm or even the Saint Realm was going to fall through.
Unless he advanced his cultivation level again, strengthening his own power, only then could he obtain the holy medicine.
Doing so was actually quite easy.
He only needed to forcibly end the simulation when he reached the third or fourth level of the True God Realm. This way, he could refresh the rewards to the third or fourth level of the True God Realm.
Although it would waste a simulation opportunity, in the future, the simulation costs wouldn’t be too exorbitant, and he could effectively compete for the holy medicine without hoping for the critical hit effect of the purple talent: Infinite Blade.
“However, this is the last simulation, it cannot be wasted, so it has to be a normal simulation… Next, I have to wait until I gain many benefits from the Divine Monarch’s ancient tomb before doing that.”
Wang Ping’s eyes flickered, silently planning in his heart.
【You did not obtain the holy medicine, feeling very frustrated, you thought you might have overestimated the effect of the purple talent: Fortune’s Bounty. After all, you previously thought it was the effect of the purple talent: Fortune’s Bounty that got you the holy medicine.】
【While you were feeling frustrated, you accidentally found a divine source vein and mined a lot of divine sources from it. There were many lower-grade divine sources, and not a few middle-to-upper-grade divine sources as well.】
【This wave undoubtedly made you rich immediately. For this, you were excited, feeling like you had wronged the purple talent: Fortune’s Bounty. Undeniably, you were very biased.】
【Then, you continued your actions and encountered Lin Yan, who had already obtained the Great Saint’s inheritance. After some thought, you decided to probe him to see what ability he had to prevent the remnants of the Great Saint’s soul from possessing him and even turn the tables.】
【After you proposed the idea of sparring with Lin Yan, a great battle erupted between you. Lin Yan’s power was very strong, and he had clearly practiced some mysterious techniques and divine skills. Without using the power of the laws, he could battle with you at the same realm.】
【Although he was clearly at a disadvantage and not your opponent, you were still very surprised by his skills and divine abilities… After all, the battle prowess you are showcasing now can be comparable to the young days of an Emperor.】
【This also indicates that Lin Yan has the potential close to this level as well. However, whether it was now or in the more than a thousand years to come, Lin Yan remained very low-key, and you never heard about him causing any disturbances.】
【You became more curious about him and began to exert greater force, forcing him to use his hidden cards. This also ignited Lin Yan’s true rage, leading to a frenzied battle with you.】
【However, he ultimately lost to you, and you decided to stop. However, you were very puzzled. If Lin Yan only had this level of battle power, then he absolutely did not have the capability to counter-kill the remnants of the Great Saint’s soul.】
【Of course, you guessed he must have some earth-shattering secrets unknown to others… This secret cannot be exposed. Once exposed, it would definitely put him in a very dangerous situation.】
【Therefore, you became even more curious about Lin Yan. However, although you were curious, you did not plan to take action against him any further. You planned to wait until you became stronger and see if you could investigate Lin Yan’s secret then.】
【Otherwise, with your current power, forcibly extracting the secret from him is an impossible task. Not to mention, there was no enmity between you two.】
【It was different from the time with the Profound Turtle… It was to deal with anomalies, so you were forced to act against the Profound Turtle. You and Lin Yan had no enmity, nor any conflicts of interest, so it was naturally unnecessary to suppress him out of mere curiosity and perform a soul search on him.】
【Even in simulations, you want to avoid such actions as much as possible, as crossing certain lines could disturb your mentality.】
【Next, after bidding farewell to Lin Yan, you left the Great Saint Secret Realm. Lin Yan also remembered you… After all, you were the first peer cultivator to defeat him, and judging by your relaxed demeanor, it was clear you had not used your full strength.】
【After leaving the Great Saint Secret Realm, you returned to the White Flame Divine Sect to cultivate quietly. Besides that, you constantly observed Lin Qinghe in secret.】
【After all, this time, you had the intention of investigating why Lin Qinghe had darkened. As long as you figured out the cause and intervened appropriately, you could make Lin Qinghe your close friend, or even deepen the relationship, making her listen to you.】
【In the blink of an eye, nearly a thousand years passed as you cultivated silently. However, this time due to the lack of holy medicine and not being at the Dao Palace, your cultivation speed was not as fast.】
【After nearly a thousand years, your cultivation level advanced to only the peak of the third level of the True God Realm. Although this speed was already very fast, compared to the situation with holy medicine, it was clearly insignificant.】
【Soon after you broke through to the peak of the third level of the True God Realm, you finally discovered the cause of Lin Qinghe’s darkening.】
【It turned out that Lin Qinghe was betrayed during an expedition with a senior sister from the White Flame Divine Sect. The senior sister pretended to be friendly with her, but was actually extremely jealous of her, believing that Lin Qinghe had taken her place as the holy maiden and hindered her path to cultivation.】
【With her talent, she felt that only by becoming the holy maiden and receiving the resources of the holy maiden could she hope to break through to the half-step Divine Monarch Realm or even the Divine Monarch Realm. Now, without the holy maiden status, she couldn’t receive the White Flame Divine Sect’s full support and might be stuck in the True God Realm for life.】
【Therefore, she wanted to kill Lin Qinghe… After Lin Qinghe’s death, she could become the new holy maiden and receive the full support of the White Flame Divine Sect… Betrayed by the senior sister she completely trusted, Lin Qinghe felt the wickedness of human nature for the first time.】
Although Lin Qinghe wasn’t one to be trifled with, despite being betrayed by her senior sister and ambushed and injured, she still managed to gain the upper hand in battle.
However, what Lin Qinghe learned next from her senior sister completely overturned her worldview. Lin Qinghe, who was taken in by the White Flame Divine Sect, was not abandoned as her master had told her. Her master had found her while passing by, feeling a fateful connection, and brought her back.
The truth was that the revered master of Lin Qinghe had the Lin Family slaughtered by an ancestor. This was because the Lin Family saw her high potential talent and wanted to bring her to the White Flame Divine Sect for grooming, ensuring her deep loyalty.
This revelation made Lin Qinghe’s mentality crumble. She could not believe that the people she trusted around her were all such heartless creatures. Distracted in battle because of her broken mindset, she was severely wounded by her senior sister, who took the opportunity to nearly kill her.
At a critical moment, Lin Qinghe’s second soul, the previous generation’s Devouring Immortal Demon Body, took over her body, mocking the darkness of human nature and Lin Qinghe’s past naïvete.
Then, Lin Qinghe’s second soul immediately suppressed her senior sister. Lin Qinghe found it hard to accept these revelations, thinking that perhaps her senior sister intended to break her mindset to kill her.
Seeing this, Lin Qinghe’s second soul sneered and performed a soul search on her senior sister. Afterward, Lin Qinghe fell into a deep silence.
It turned out that all the high-level members of the White Flame Divine Sect knew about this and helped cover it up. Her senior sister, being the descendant of the sect’s great elder, was also aware of this. Only she was kept in the dark, being played like a fool.
‘Lin Qinghe’s past is really tragic.’
Wang Ping sighed as he read the simulated content.
Her whole family was annihilated, and she was raised to be a tool to protect the White Flame Divine Sect. The people she trusted were all wolves in sheep’s clothing.
Fortunately, it was due to the jealousy of the great elder’s descendant, her senior sister, and her desire for the Divine Monarch Realm, that such actions were taken and everything was exposed.
Otherwise, Lin Qinghe would likely never have learned the truth and would have fiercely protected the White Flame Divine Sect, even seeking his help as in the previous simulations.
‘No wonder Lin Qinghe turned dark and became somewhat twisted. Given such experiences, anyone would… And no wonder in the previous simulations, she was not seen when the White Flame Divine Sect and the Northern Snow Divine Dynasty were destroyed. At that time, Lin Qinghe probably didn’t have the ability. If she had, she wouldn’t just save the White Flame Divine Sect but seek her own revenge.’
‘Although most of the White Flame Divine Sect members are innocent, all the core figures deserve death. Especially Lin Qinghe’s master, who deserves to be cut into pieces.’
Wang Ping shook his head with a sigh.
If not for his intervention, Lin Qinghe might have become a major antagonist in the Upper Realm, following a path similar to the previous generation’s Devouring Immortal Demon Body. Yet, it was uncertain whether Lin Qinghe would meet the same fate as the previous generation, being killed by an emperor.
Various thoughts flashed through Wang Ping’s mind as he continued to gaze at the screen.
After learning about Lin Qinghe’s past, you also felt deeply for her tragedy. However, you had no intention of intervening this time, leaving the place silently.
Your departure caused the remaining soul of the previous generation’s Devouring Immortal Demon Body to snort coldly without saying much more. She had long discovered your presence but spared you since you had no killing intent and didn’t attack.
This was also partly because Lin Qinghe’s cultivation was too weak to guarantee she could kill you.
After returning to the White Flame Divine Sect, you continued to cultivate. As for Lin Qinghe, as expected, she didn’t return to the sect. The previous generation’s Devouring Immortal Demon Body must have informed her of the exposure, making it too dangerous to stay.
For Lin Qinghe now, the best course was to bide her time, then annihilate the White Flame Divine Sect.
Lin Qinghe’s disappearance and her senior sister’s fall created chaos within the White Flame Divine Sect. The sect leader and others were shocked, believing Lin Qinghe knew her past and acted out.
Filled with anger and fear, they sought to kill Lin Qinghe to eliminate future threats. During this turmoil, Lin Qinghe’s master faced severe accusations. If he hadn’t taken Lin Qinghe in, none of this would have happened.
Lin Qinghe’s master had no excuses. He had seen Lin Qinghe’s extraordinary talent at birth, knowing that the Lin Family, guarded by a half-step Divine Monarch Realm expert, would never send Lin Qinghe to the White Flame Divine Sect. They would have preferred the Holy Land or Dao Palace.
As a result, he resorted to drastic measures, mercilessly wiping out the Lin Family and taking Lin Qinghe, hoping she would become a saint and he would benefit, gaining a chance to become a Divine Monarch.
Back then, he lacked the power to destroy the Lin Family, guarded by a half-step Divine Monarch, so he enlisted an ancestor and numerous True God Realm experts of the White Flame Divine Sect to obliterate the Lin Family without a trace.
It might be for this reason that some information risked leaking. Lin Qinghe’s master knew he must kill her to prevent her from growing stronger and seeking vengeance.
Her master revealed a sinister look, admitting he considered the risk of information leaks and had planted a secret technique on her to always know her location.
Then, he expressed regret and helplessness, realizing that in anticipation of Lin Qinghe’s potential sainthood, he had not planted a technique to control her life and death. If he had done so, she would have sensed it when she grew stronger, making it hard to explain.
The top members of the White Flame Divine Sect were overjoyed, but you, eavesdropping on all this, showed a mocking expression. With the second soul of the previous generation’s Devouring Immortal Demon Body around, it’s a fool’s dream for them to find and kill Lin Qinghe.
However, you no longer had any interest in watching, leaving the White Flame Divine Sect without a trace once again.
As you predicted, the White Flame Divine Sect failed to find Lin Qinghe, becoming the laughing stock. Moreover, the time for their joint annihilation by the Azure Origin Divine Sect and Northern Snow Divine Dynasty was not far.
In a blink of an eye, over five hundred years passed. During these years, the White Flame Divine Sect was destroyed by the Azure Origin Divine Sect and Northern Snow Divine Dynasty. You, as a lone cultivator, without a lack of resources, had no desire for dangerous expeditions, choosing to cultivate quietly.
Of course, due to the effect of Purple Talent: Fortune’s Bounty, you occasionally stumbled upon minor opportunities. Though not exceptionally precious, this was still a pleasant experience.
Now, over five hundred years later, your cultivation has improved, reaching the fourth level of the True God Realm. Although slower compared to when you refined the essence of holy medicine, it was still faster than typical geniuses.
Given this is the era of the diminished path, with the Heavenly Dao suppressing cultivation, silently retreating and cultivating without earth-shattering opportunities means progress won’t be fast.
After breaking through to the fourth level of the True God Realm, you decided to leave seclusion and explore the world for relaxation. Soon after, a terrifying aura descended on the Great Origin Ancient Star, with a formidable expert wielding an Emperor’s Weapon attacking the Dao Palace.
This made you realize one thing: this formidable expert was not targeting you as you previously simulated, but purely seeking revenge on the Dao Palace.
【You silently observe the earth-shattering battle, uncertain if the Dao Palace can weather this catastrophe.】
【Just as you ponder, the battle grows fiercer. However, since you did not join the Dao Palace this time, no saints take action against it, sparing its people from the conflict.】
【Yet, as the fight progresses, unforeseen changes occur. A terrifying master, hidden on the Great Origin Ancient Star, chooses this moment to intervene, aiding the foreign power against the Dao Palace.】
【With the involvement of this fearsome master, the Dao Palace is annihilated in an instant, turning to dust. The Dao Palace Master is forcibly subjected to soul search.】
【Though those who cultivate the Dao Palace’s Emperor Scripture have techniques left by Dao Emperor Tian that automatically destroy memories of the scripture when subjected to soul search, this master isn’t after the scripture; he seeks methods to control the Emperor’s Weapon.】
【However, the master is disappointed, finding no method to control the Emperor’s Weapon. Since he has made a move, he must eliminate any threats to avoid retaliation from the Dao Emperor’s Weapon.】
【Thus, he strikes again, joining the foreign power in fighting the old ancestor of the Dao Palace, who wields the Emperor’s Weapon. Alone, he wouldn’t dare face the weapon for long, as he would surely be killed if the confrontation drags on.】
【But with others to divert attention, he significantly impacts the battle’s outcome.】
【Seeing this, you sigh, knowing that no matter if the ancestor with the Dao Emperor’s Weapon can turn the tide and defeat the two adversaries, the Dao Palace is doomed. Its legacy of millions of years ends here.】
【In the tragic roar of the ancestor wielding the Dao Palace’s weapon, he falls, utterly annihilated. The Dao Emperor’s Weapon goes berserk.】
【However, due to the suppression of opposing forces, the weapon’s spirit, despite its anger, is contained. It is jointly sealed and banished to the endless cosmos.】
【Even though the joint force cannot indefinitely suppress the Dao Emperor’s Weapon, and it will eventually break free, this interim gives them enough time to escape. Once free, the weapon’s fury is futile.】
【Thus, the terrifying battle concludes, and you lament the Dao Palace’s fate. Recalling the Dao Palace Master’s past support, you resolve to seek vengeance when you grow stronger.】
【Of course, this is just a simulation. If possible, you will avenge. In reality, you must prevent the Dao Palace’s destruction.】
【You plan to continue your cultivation and not emerge until reaching the Divine Monarch Realm. However, something unexpected happens.】
【Ruo Lan, the senior transmigrator, finds you and kills you. Despite your numerous talents, you are helplessly suppressed.】
【Neither the Purple Talent: Substitute Puppet, Purple Talent: Destiny Connection, nor the Rebirth Talisman can save you. With the second-generation chat group’s senior transmigrators’ ruthless style, you face no chance of survival. They ensure you’re definitively killed, preventing revival.】
【Knowing this fate, you choose to exit the simulation state voluntarily.】
【As you exit voluntarily, the simulation ends.】
The simulation stops here, with Wang Ping’s mind flooded with numerous visions and cultivation insights.
Finally, he appears in his seclusion chamber, witnessing ‘himself’ being mercilessly suppressed by Ruo Lan.
“This Ruo Lan, could she have acquired something like the Heaven’s Secret Tracker Talisman, just like Chu Xiao? Otherwise, how could she find me so easily?”
Wang Ping frowns deeply at this sight.
He supposes the Heaven’s Secret Tracker Talisman could be a means of other senior transmigrators from across the heavens or people in this world skilled in divination.
After all, there is a Heavenly Secrets Pavilion in the Lower Realm.
In the Upper Realm, there’s even the Heavenly Calculator, mentioned in the simulation.
Simply put, for a price, finding someone isn’t too difficult.
Unless one has countermeasures or ways to obscure their fate, they will be caught.
“I originally thought I could end the next simulation by reaching the third or fourth level of the True God Realm, but it seems I overestimated my survival time.”
Wang Ping shakes his head, sighing again.
It seems, in a thousand and five hundred years, a disaster will surely strike, leading to deadly pursuit.
It’s uncertain if this timing might change.
Even if it changes, it will likely come sooner.
As Wang Ping contemplates, the System’s voice speaks up again.
“Ding, rewards generated successfully. The host may choose two from the following rewards:
①. Fourth level of the True God Realm cultivation.
②. Purple Talent: Substitute Puppet.
③. Heavenly Demon Stone (Mo Family Young Master’s piece).
④. Random divine weapon.”
“System, I choose ①. Fourth level of the True God Realm cultivation and ②. Purple Talent: Substitute Puppet.”
Wang Ping looks at the reward options and, after some thought, makes his choice.
In an instant, Wang Ping felt as if he had gained a new talent, along with the method to use it.
Moreover, his cultivation level began to skyrocket.
True God Realm Second Tier!
True God Realm Third Tier!
True God Realm Fourth Tier!
“True God Realm Fourth Tier… This is already equivalent to the mid-stage of the True God Realm, far stronger than the First Tier. Now, even without triggering the critical effect of the purple talent: Infinite Blade, I can exert far greater destructive power… Of course, if the critical hit is triggered, it would be even more satisfying…”
Wang Ping felt the changes in his cultivation and nodded in satisfaction.
Although it was clear that the True God Realm Fourth Tier was still far from the Great Perfection of the True God Realm he achieved in the previous simulation, this cultivation level was most suitable for his current state. It could appropriately reduce the cost of Paid Simulation and wasn’t too weak to obtain the holy medicine.
“Next, I should look for the ancient tomb to gain more cultivation resources.”
After a flicker of his eyes, Wang Ping moved, and spatial ripples emerged. He instantly disappeared from the inn.
Not long after, Wang Ping arrived at the ancient tomb of a Divine Monarch Realm expert. With a gentle wave of his hand, he found the great formation and revealed the concealed space.
Then, Wang Ping once again used spatial divine abilities to easily enter without disturbing the great formation.
Even though Wang Ping could have forcibly broken it, he found it unnecessary.
After entering, Wang Ping disregarded the ordinary resources in the small world, heading straight to the stone coffin and lifted its lid.
As soon as he lifted the stone coffin, the divine sense of the Divine Monarch Realm expert within the ancient tomb revived and looked at Wang Ping, quite surprised.
He thought it was a Divine Monarch Realm expert, but it turned out to be just a True God.
“He didn’t even disturb the formation I set up? Junior, your methods are indeed astonishing…”
The divine sense of the Divine Monarch Realm expert in the ancient tomb, upon noticing the state of the formation, spoke with some amazement.
“Senior, it was my fault to disturb your slumber… However, I lack cultivation resources. If you are willing to give me some items, I will leave immediately…”
Wang Ping cupped his hands slightly, speaking very politely.
“You are quite honest. I can give you some, but I am curious how you got in.”
The divine sense of the Divine Monarch Realm expert in the ancient tomb chuckled and said.
“How I got in?” Wang Ping laughed softly and mobilized spatial laws, saying, “Junior has some insights into the Dao of space…”
The ancient tomb’s Divine Monarch Realm expert had already passed away, and his divine sense would dissipate shortly after being activated. Wang Ping wasn’t worried about him revealing that he comprehended the spatial laws.
Moreover, Wang Ping had altered his appearance and aura before this trip, so there was no need to worry.
“Uh…” The divine sense of the Divine Monarch Realm expert was dumbfounded, feeling Wang Ping mobilize the spatial laws.
Goodness, spatial laws… You call this simple insight?
Wait…
Soon, the divine sense of the ancient tomb’s Divine Monarch Realm expert awoke with a start, his face full of helplessness and wry smiles, and his attitude became humble, “I didn’t realize it was an esteemed saint reincarnated. I apologize for my previous disrespect…”
Although he had passed away, his reverence for a Saint Realm expert couldn’t be erased.
Moreover, he feared Wang Ping would wipe out his remains, which would be tragic.
Previously, addressing him as ‘senior’ and ‘your honor’ in front of a saint was undoubtedly disrespectful.
After saying this, the Divine Monarch Realm expert handed over all the items he had left behind during his life to Wang Ping.
Wang Ping didn’t say much, took the items, placed them in his storage space, and nodded slightly, “Continue your slumber, I have other matters to attend to… I shall take my leave…”
With these words, Wang Ping once again utilized spatial divine abilities and quickly disappeared.
This left the divine sense of the Divine Monarch Realm expert in the ancient tomb awestruck, feeling both envy and loss.
In his lifetime, he hadn’t become a Saint, just an ordinary Divine Monarch Realm expert.
He hadn’t even seen a saint in his previous life.
Now, after death, seeing a saint and conversing with one, feeling the incomparably profound laws up close, somewhat compensated for some regrets.
“If there is a next life, may I become a saint…”
The divine sense of the ancient tomb’s Divine Monarch Realm expert sighed and then dissipated between heaven and earth.
Back to Wang Ping, he returned to the inn in White Flame Divine City, planning to continue with the simulation.
“System, how many lower-grade divine sources do I need for a Paid Simulation now?”
Wang Ping’s eyes flickered as he asked in his heart.
“Ding, detected that the host’s cultivation has reached the fourth level of the True God Realm. The simulation requires three hundred jin of lower-grade divine sources.”
The system’s voice rang out.
This amount made Wang Ping raise his eyebrows slightly.
He thought it wouldn’t be much, after all, from the first level of the Void God Realm to the first level of the True God Realm, it was only a tenfold increase.
Now, from the first level of the True God Realm to the fourth level of the True God Realm, it actually reached three hundred jin, a threefold increase.
Recalling the past situations, Wang Ping pondered that the consumption of the Life Simulator’s Paid Simulation didn’t seem to be a fixed increase but varied based on his current situation.
If he had more resources in hand, it would cost more.
Moreover, when there were no divine sources in the Lower Realm, it used King Weapons and Emperor Weapons as the cost for Paid Simulations.
“Life Simulator, should I call you black-hearted or considerate of the host…”
Thinking of this, Wang Ping shook his head and muttered.
“System, I want to proceed with a Paid Simulation.”
Then, Wang Ping restrained his emotions and spoke in his heart.
Although it was expensive, he now had over ten thousand jin of lower-grade divine sources, enough for more than thirty simulations. Wang Ping didn’t care much about this price.
Moreover, he could try to let Xu Yi perform a multiplication later to try to obtain more resources.
“Ding, consuming three hundred jin of lower-grade divine sources. Life Simulator is starting, talents are refreshing.”
The system’s voice rang out.
“Ding, talent refresh successful. Congratulations to the host for successfully refreshing the red talent: Life and Death Limit.”
Red Talent: Life and Death Limit: With this talent, the host’s probability of breaking through at the life and death limit becomes greater. However, the host will tend to attempt breakthroughs at the life and death limit, pushing himself beyond the limit and advancing further.
“Well, here we go with bad luck again, huh…”
Wang Ping looked at the talent refreshed this time and sighed.
This time, he only refreshed a red talent.
Although this talent looked good, it would change his personality and was extremely extreme.
This time, he feared he might cool off quickly again.
As expected, as soon as the simulation started, Wang Ping began his new round of courting death.
However, no matter how many lives he had, he couldn’t preserve Wang Ping’s little life and finally ended up completely finished.
Though several attempts to court death indeed forced him to the life and death limit, allowing some breakthroughs and comprehension of Saint-level divine abilities, it was truly unnecessary.
After all, in previous simulations, Wang Ping spent most of his time improving his cultivation, halting in comprehending laws and continuing to create techniques and divine abilities.
Otherwise, just spending more time and shifting focus, creating Saint-level divine abilities would be a matter of time.
After all, the enlightenment brought by the Spacetime Dao Body was terrifying.
Though it was an incomplete Spacetime Dao Body, it was still fearsome, incomparable to ordinary constitutions.
“Ding, reward generation successful. The host can choose one of the following rewards:
- Fifth level of the True God Realm cultivation.
- Red Talent: Life and Death Limit.
- Heavenly Demon Stone (the one from the Mo Family Young Master).
- Random divine weapon.”
“System, I choose 3. Heavenly Demon Stone.”
Wang Ping glanced at the rewards and then made his choice.
“Ding, reward selection successful.”
As the system’s voice rang out, Wang Ping felt a Heavenly Demon Stone emitting a demonic aura appear in his storage space.
“Next, I can’t continue simulating. I need to take a break. Otherwise, it will definitely be a series of bad luck again…”
Wang Ping now had experience and wouldn’t stubbornly continue the simulation. Instead, he rationally decided to wait for a while.
In the blink of an eye, three months passed.
During these three months, Wang Ping didn’t encounter any major events. He just cultivated in silence, occasionally completing some group missions.
Perhaps because Wang Ping and the group members’ strength had grown more robust, the task difficulties had also escalated.
As the task difficulty rose, the enemies they met were stronger, and naturally, they gained more group points.
As a result, over these three months, everyone earned a lot.
Wang Ping, being the strongest and receiving additional dividends, earned even more.
He now had nearly 2.5 billion group points.
However, Alpha still didn’t tell him how many group points or conditions were needed for the next optimization of the Life Simulator, so he had no choice but to keep accumulating group points.
At the same time, Wang Ping knew even if Alpha told him how many group points were needed, he likely wouldn’t give him another discount coupon.
After all, the last optimization required one billion group points; it would take at least tens of billions for another optimization.
A discount to ten billion would be like taking a chunk out of Alpha.
Whether Alpha had the means to front 90 billion group points for him was another question.
In short, Wang Ping thought it was best to just keep earning group points.
Group points were the essence of the world. Although their stronger uses were currently unknown, having as many as possible was undoubtedly beneficial.
“Ding, anomaly detected in the world of group member Luo Weiguo (85). Task issued: eliminate the anomaly. This task is mandatory. Participants required: 5. Group leader Wang Ping, please select members and proceed to the task world to eliminate the anomaly.”
Just as Wang Ping was emerging from his cultivation state, a system prompt from the chat group sounded, catching his attention.
“Another anomaly? It seems tricky this time, or they wouldn’t have specifically asked for me,” Wang Ping murmured.
Since the major reform of the chat group, the combat power of its members had sharply increased.
Consequently, some minor anomalies no longer required his personal intervention.
After all, with heightened combat power, even without the Life Simulator to predict the future, a sweep with spiritual sense over the entire planet could easily identify anomalies.
Only extremely powerful anomalies required Wang Ping’s personal involvement.
Such anomalies couldn’t be resolved solely with strength, nor could other group members handle them.
Information was critical.
In some cases, even with information and power, they might not be able to kill the anomaly.
Thinking this, Wang Ping opened the chat group and entered the main chat page.
Wang Ping (66): “This task is certainly challenging. Who’s willing to participate in this group mission?”
Zhang Hu (5): “Old Luo’s world? Unlike other worlds, the power level there is a bit high. I won’t join to avoid being a burden. This kind of group mission needs group members with special Golden Finger abilities.”
Chen Yao (71): “Even with the help of Yuan Yuan, the strengthening of group points, and the resources supplied by Brother Wang, I’ve become a quasi-immortal, but it’s still not enough. I’ll pass too.”
Wu Jun (20): “Me, me, me! I definitely have to go!”
Cai Yonglong (1): “As usual, count me in!”
Chen Si (83): “I’d like to go this time too.QAQ”
Chen Kang (67): “If my sister goes, I’ll go too.”
Liu Mei (15): “I’d love to go, but with so many applicants, I’ll sit this one out.”
Qin Tian (77): “Suddenly I feel so out of place… is there no spot for me in this mission anymore?”
Ye Xiaofan (75): “Congratulations, you’ve been eliminated.”
Qin Tian (77): “…”
Wang Ping (66): “Alright then, this time it will be me, Cai Yonglong, Chen Si, Chen Kang, and Wu Jun taking on the group mission.”
Wang Ping ignored Qin Tian and Ye Xiaofan’s complaints and directly confirmed the group task members.
