210 – Innate Emperor’s Weapon! News of an Immortal Artifact!

While Wang Ping was complaining, the simulation continued.

【You, who have been observing secretly, feel that the time is ripe. For this reason, you no longer hide and choose to reveal yourself. Your appearance shocks everyone present, and they hurriedly salute you.】

【The Tenth Princess of the Golden Yuan Sacred Dynasty looks at you with admiration, smiling charmingly. Seeing this, Zhu Huowang feels that his suspicions are indeed correct, and he becomes even more resentful of you.】

【However, your next action leaves everyone present stunned. You directly ask Zhu Huowang if he is willing to accept you as his master, and you can uphold justice for him.】

【Zhu Huowang is stunned, never expecting such a noble person to be willing to take him as a disciple. Naturally, Zhu Huowang doesn’t think you would deliberately play him, as there is no need. You are a dragon among men, one of the most dazzling presences on the Tongxian Continent. There’s no need to humiliate a small person like him in such a manner.】

【For this reason, Zhu Huowang feels he might have misunderstood you earlier and becomes very ashamed. Once the Tenth Princess of the Golden Yuan Sacred Dynasty regains her composure, she urgently states that you should reconsider seriously. In terms of qualifications, she far surpasses Zhu Huowang and is more suitable to be your disciple.】

【You coldly stare at the Tenth Princess, suppressing her with just one look, and coldly state that the Great Saint Ancestor of the Golden Yuan Sacred Dynasty is not qualified to speak to you, yet she dares to instruct you here. With these words, the Tenth Princess wakes up, showing a terrified expression. Her protector turns pale and hurriedly forces the Tenth Princess to kowtow to you frantically.】

【You are, after all, the Third Imperial Son of the Taiyi Emperor Palace, with noble status. If the Golden Yuan Sacred Dynasty angers you, even if you disdain to act against them personally, just one word from you would have many strong people willing to act on your behalf, easily eradicating the Golden Yuan Sacred Dynasty.】

【As for whether the Taiyi Emperor Palace would intervene if the Golden Yuan Sacred Dynasty is destroyed, it’s a joke. Anyone with a bit of sense knows that offending the Emperor’s son of the Taiyi Emperor Palace and being wiped out is deserved.】

【Seeing the once high and mighty Tenth Princess and her protector trembling like mice, Zhu Huowang is deeply moved and becomes even more eager for power and authority.】

【He kneels before you without hesitation, begging you to accept him as a disciple. Naturally, you choose to take Zhu Huowang as your disciple.】

【With you accepting Zhu Huowang as your disciple, the Zhu family rejoices greatly, while the Tenth Princess of the Golden Yuan Sacred Dynasty looks ashen. As for you, you receive the prompt of the seven-colored talent: Growing Stronger by Accepting Disciples, with your cultivation quietly advancing to the level of a half-step Great Saint.】

【This makes you very satisfied. Indeed, Zhu Huowang is truly a model protagonist of the trash to treasure stream, comparable to outstanding talents like Ye Chen, Lin Qinghe, and Wan Yu. They all are beings capable of helping you break through major and minor bottlenecks.】

【Next, you just need to find another similar person to break through from the half-step Great Saint to the Great Saint level. Of course, you think that to break through to the Great Saint level, you probably need even more special prodigies like Lin Qinghe and Wan Yu. People like Ye Chen and Zhu Huowang, although sufficient for breaking through half-step Great Saint, may still encounter difficulties when attempting to advance to the Great Saint level.】

【In your mind, the future achievements of Ye Chen and Zhu Huowang should not surpass those of Lin Qinghe and Wan Yu. Among them, Lin Qinghe is expected to reach the highest achievements.】

【As various thoughts flash through your mind, you coldly order the Tenth Princess of the Golden Yuan Sacred Dynasty and her follower to scram. Consequently, the two leave dejectedly.】

【Next, you give it some thought and then tell Zhu Huowang that you hope he will cultivate diligently. Once he breaks through to the Void God Realm, you will take him to the Taiyi Emperor Palace.】

【Hearing your words, Zhu Huowang nods seriously, vowing that he will reach the level of the Void God Realm within a hundred years.】

【To this, you chuckle and shake your head, stating that a hundred years is too long; you only give him fifty years. Within fifty years, he must advance to the Void God Realm. In your view, this is already the Golden Age, where cultivation is extremely easy. You think fifty years is already quite long.】

【After all, if one were to use Emperor’s Son-level figures as the standard, they would definitely not need fifty years to cultivate to the level of the Void God Realm during the Golden Age. At most, it would take around twenty years. Some abnormal figures among the Emperor’s Son-level characters could even cultivate from an ordinary person to the God Realm in less than ten years.】

【Of course, Emperor’s Son-level figures have powerful bloodlines or constitutions, as well as apprenticeship and ample resources, which Zhu Huowang cannot compare to. Hence, you decree a fifty-year timeframe.】

【Even though you can easily provide Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures before the God Realm, you do not intend to do so. You are very curious about what exactly is the cheat of Zhu Huowang, the waste material stream child of fortune – is it like Ye Chen’s Ring Grandpa, or some other stunning fortuitous encounter.】

【If you know the secret behind Zhu Huowang, this waste of a fortune’s child, turning the tables, you can obtain it in some simulation and turn it into your own strength. After all, it’s just a simulation… You have a chance to manifest it, so it doesn’t count as truly stealing your disciple’s opportunity.】

【Seeing that you gave him fifty years to reach the Divine Realm, Zhu Huowang felt immense pressure. After all, he is now fifteen years old, and his cultivation has only reached the first level of the Mortal Realm. To become a god within fifty years is as hard as scaling the sky.】

【However, since it was your demand, and with his current extreme desire for power, he firmly agreed to it.】

【You were very satisfied with this. Following this, after rejecting the invitation to Zhu Family’s immortal feast, you quietly left the place. Of course, you didn’t really leave. You left an avatar behind to secretly monitor Zhu Huowang’s every move.】

【Because your power is immensely strong, and the strongest in the Zhu family now is just a self-sealed patriarch Saint, no one could detect your actions.】

【After doing all this and leaving Zhu’s house, you returned to the Taiyi Emperor Palace. The Golden Origin Sacred Dynasty’s lord also learned what the Tenth Princess had done, became utterly furious, and directly crippled the cultivation of the usually most favored Tenth Princess, throwing her into the Heavenly Prison.】

【Simultaneously, the Golden Origin Sacred Dynasty’s lord was extremely terrified, not knowing how to apologize to you. After pondering, he first came to the Zhu family personally to apologize, wanting Zhu Huowang to speak well of him in front of you.】

【Looking at the lowly Golden Origin Sacred Lord, Zhu Huowang felt a myriad of emotions. He knew very well that all this was because he had changed his status. Now, as your disciple, things were like this. Otherwise, how could the high and mighty Golden Origin Sacred Lord apologize to him, a young man with no qualifications?】

【For this, Zhu Huowang was even more grateful to you as his master, and his desire for power and authority grew even stronger. It was this crazily increasing desire that finally made his extraordinary fortune appear.】

【Zhu Huowang’s extraordinary fortune was a black pearl he had worn since childhood. This pearl could absorb essence and then feed it back to the host, strengthening his body, which was truly domineering.】

【Through Zhu Huowang’s usage, you discovered the abnormality of this pearl. For this, you scoured various ancient texts in the scripture library of the Taiyi Emperor Palace, trying to find out what it was.】

【Eventually, you confirmed what this black pearl was. It is said that there are two types of weapons in the world: those born naturally and those forged by cultivators. Whether it’s a Supreme Artifact, a Quasi-Emperor’s Weapon, or an Emperor’s Weapon, they all follow this rule.】

【And this black pearl is a naturally born Emperor’s Weapon called the Essence Devouring Pearl. It is rumored to devour the essence of heaven and earth and store it within the pearl. If a cultivator gains the black pearl’s recognition, they can use the devoured essence for cultivation.】

【Ancient books record that anyone who possesses the Essence Devouring Pearl inevitably becomes a terrifying physical cultivator, specializing in bodily refinement. Among the most powerful, some can purely use their body’s vital energy to explode a Supreme. Among them, the outstanding ones, if they cultivate a Tyrannical Body, can even contend with a Quasi-Emperor.】

【Furthermore, the Essence Devouring Pearl is a nemesis for other physical cultivators. Fighting against the holder of such a pearl means that it will continuously devour their essence, causing rapid weakness. Even if not a physical cultivator, dealing with it is incredibly troublesome. After all, although magic cultivators don’t prioritize essence, it is still important. If devoured, it’s likewise quite problematic.】

【Moreover, there exist two other similar wondrous items: the Soul Devouring Pearl and the Mana Devouring Pearl. Their functions are to devour souls and mana, respectively.】

【It is said that if a cultivator simultaneously possesses the Essence Devouring Pearl, the Soul Devouring Pearl, and the Mana Devouring Pearl, and gains their recognition, making the three willingly recognize the master, then there is hope of merging these three natural Emperor’s Weapon into an object that transcends the Emperor’s Weapon level—a legendary Immortal Weapon.】

【Knowing the origin of the Essence Devouring Pearl, you were shocked. You didn’t expect Zhu Huowang to have such a heaven-defying opportunity, gaining such a mysterious and powerful natural Emperor’s Weapon and gaining its recognition.】

【With the Essence Devouring Pearl, Zhu Huowang becoming strong rapidly is almost too easy. As long as he doesn’t fall halfway, his future will certainly be of a powerful existence that can effortlessly crush Supremes.】

【With this, you finally understood why Zhu Huowang could help you break through from Great Perfection of the Saint King Realm to half-step Great Saint; he truly had the qualifications. In your mind, the standing of Zhu Huowang has changed, and you feel that his future achievements might not necessarily be inferior to Lin Qinghe or Wan Yu.】

【As for Ye Chen, you can’t see through where he might go in the future. For now, Ye Chen has no extraordinary fortunes and has been rather miserable since arriving in the Upper Realm. So, his future potential standing in your mind is still the lowest.】

‘Essence Devouring Pearl, a natural Emperor’s Weapon…’

Wang Ping looked at the simulated content, feeling a bit envious of Zhu Huowang’s good luck.

“However, he is indeed fortunate to live in such a small place where no one can recognize the still-dormant Essence-Devouring Pearl. Otherwise, countless people would go crazy for it, and even Supremes and quasi-Emperors would fight to snatch it.”

“As for the future, if its presence is exposed, it would bring a disaster of death upon him. The Essence-Devouring Pearl is extremely important; once approved by it and if no accidents occur, one could grow to the level of a Supreme or even a quasi-Emperor.”

“Even those who are already Supremes and quasi-Emperors would be greatly tempted. After all, if they could open another path and enhance their physical bodies to such a level, their combat power would increase significantly. Furthermore, the innate Emperor’s Weapon itself is a powerful weapon that can greatly amplify their combat power. Who wouldn’t be moved by such temptation?”

Wang Ping sighed with emotion.

Not to mention those strong cultivators being tempted; even Wang Ping, who had taken Zhu Huowang as a disciple in the simulation, was moved.

Obtaining this Essence-Devouring Pearl would benefit him immensely.

If he could gather the other two Emperor’s Weapon pearls in the future, even a Great Emperor wouldn’t care about their so-called Great Emperor dignity and would fight to snatch them.

Even those hidden within the Source of Darkness would choose to make a move.

After all, it is a celestial artifact, and a special one at that, which greatly enhances their combat power.

“Next time I simulate, I’ll give it a try and see if I can get the Essence-Devouring Pearl’s approval. If I can, I’ll obtain it. If not, then so be it.”

This thought flashed through Wang Ping’s mind as he continued to stare at the screen.

【You are deeply moved by the Essence-Devouring Pearl. However, you ultimately suppressed your greed. Although the Essence-Devouring Pearl is indeed tempting, you are a principled person and do not wish to take away something that belongs to your recently accepted disciple. Even if you want the Essence-Devouring Pearl, you think it’s better to try in future simulations.】

【Of course, if you can refresh it through the Life Simulator’s reward mechanism, that would be even better. Although you believe the probability is very low. After all, the current Life Simulator hasn’t been optimized again, and it’s questionable whether it can refresh an item of the innate Emperor’s Weapon class.】

【Next, instead of continuing to send out an avatar to watch Zhu Huowang, you recalled your avatar and started challenging the second Emperor’s son.】

【Facing your challenge, the second Emperor’s son felt immense pressure. After all, his cultivation is also at the level of Great Perfection of the Saint King Realm. Though he is stronger than the third Emperor’s son, having comprehended seventy percent of the laws and paved some way for becoming a Great Saint, your current performance is undoubtedly more powerful.】

【You displayed seven-tenths of the Space Laws when you killed the evil cultivator Great Saint, along with other powerful methods. Now you’re ranked thirty-fifth on the Saint King List, far surpassing his rank. After all, he just recently made it to the ninetieth position on the Saint King List.】

【However, the second Emperor’s son did not shy away from the fight and still battled you. In the end, the result left many Emperor’s children speechless. The second Emperor’s son was also stunned by you.】

【Because you showed no intention of holding back, you directly revealed your half-step Great Saint cultivation and defeated the second Emperor’s son with one move. This was a heavy blow to the second Emperor’s son, who never expected you to have already broken through to the level of a half-step Great Saint; the speed of this breakthrough was simply too fast. Clearly, in terms of aptitude, you are not even as good as him.】

【As for the other old monsters watching the fight, they had already noticed your half-step Great Saint cultivation before the battle and marveled at it, surprised that you had broken through after just one trip out. It must be noted that before you left, there were no signs of a breakthrough at all.】
