218 – Creating a Miracle! The End of the Immortal Cultivation World!

With the end of the textual simulation, Wang Ping’s mind was filled with numerous scenes and cultivation insights. Finally, his figure appeared in the Realm of Life, seeing the Mystic Ice Mirror he had transformed into and the many sacred elixirs swaying in the wind, his face solemn.

In the end, Wang Ping sighed deeply and murmured: ‘Alright, my intuition was indeed right, something really happened. This wretched place, whether it’s the Realm of Life or the Realm of Death, is too dangerous… It’s truly a deadly land.’

‘However, this time being able to obtain the second piece of the fragments and learning some secrets here is not bad either, and it can serve as preparation for future opportunities.’

Wang Ping’s eyes flickered as he continued his inner thoughts.

In Wang Ping’s opinion, although this place was extremely dangerous, it undoubtedly harbored great secrets.

Since ancient times, blessings and disasters have always been intertwined. If he could unravel the secrets here and gain the greatest opportunity within, it would be immensely satisfying.

Wang Ping had a hunch that the opportunities here reached a level that could drive an Emperor to madness.

Of course, Wang Ping was still very weak now and had no intention of wasting simulation attempts here. It was wiser to become stronger first.

Until he reached the Emperor Realm, he wouldn’t attempt to conquer this ‘dungeon.’

Unless, like the recent times, he was forced to teleport here, only then would he risk his life to gather more intelligence.

As Wang Ping was lost in his thoughts, his consciousness flickered, and his view changed. He exited the immersive simulation and returned to the real world.

Simultaneously, the System’s voice rang out.

‘Ding, reward generation successful, the host may choose two of the following rewards: ‘

1. Emperor’s Scripture fragment.
2. Red Talent: Earth Profound Body.
3. Great Sacred Artifact: Illusory Void Sword.
4. A random Great Sacred Artifact.
5. Sacred Stone.

‘This reward list is really quite meager… But having something is better than nothing. The most crucial thing is that the fragments have refreshed,’ Wang Ping shook his head slightly at the reward list.

Although he had already memorized the information from the fragments, having them was still better than not.

After all, he had read many fantasy novels where fragments left by strong individuals were obtained by protagonists, then when a secret realm appeared, the fragments contained the backhands left by the strong, playing a significant role and helping the protagonist seize a great opportunity.

‘System, I choose 1. Emperor’s Scripture fragment and 3. Great Sacred Artifact: Illusory Void Sword.’

After considering, Wang Ping made his choice.

The other rewards were useless. Although the Sacred Stone was precious, his Great Sacred Artifact had already been used, so directly choosing the Great Sacred Artifact was certainly more valuable.

Of course, the most important thing was that if he could get another Great Sacred Artifact, he might be able to use Zhang Haoran’s synthesis system to combine them into a Supreme Artifact.

If that were the case, he would then own his own personal Supreme Artifact.

At that time, his combat strength would see a significant improvement.

After all, fighting with someone else’s Supreme Artifact versus using his own personal Supreme Artifact was completely different.

Someone else’s artifact would always be someone else’s; it couldn’t perfectly unleash its power.

Whereas using his own personal Supreme Artifact would perfectly display its power, even exceeding its limits.

As Wang Ping made his choice, an Emperor’s Scripture fragment and a Great Sacred Artifact appeared in his storage world.

Then, without hesitation, Wang Ping opened the chat group, first sending the Great Sacred Artifact to Xu Yi, attempting to let Xu Yi multiply it.

Unexpectedly, this time it successfully triggered the threefold multiplication effect.

Wang Ping’s Great Sacred Artifact instantly became three, counting the one in his hand, making it four in total.

That felt quite good.

After taking back the Great Sacred Artifact, Wang Ping contacted Zhang Haoran again.

Wang Ping (66): ‘Haoran, I have a task for you, synthesize my Great Sacred Artifact.’

Zhang Haoran (92): ‘Brother Wang, your item’s level is too high, I might not succeed. If the synthesis fails, it will be scrapped. [Tormented.gif]’

Wang Ping (66): ‘It’s fine, no worries if it fails, just give it a try.’

Wang Ping didn’t hesitate or second guess, his attitude was very firm.

Although he would feel pained if all four Great Sacred Artifacts were scrapped, he wouldn’t complain much.

After all, in the simulations, he could still use the resources of Taiyi Emperor Palace to cultivate new Great Sacred Artifacts.

And if he possessed his own Supreme Artifact, it would be immensely satisfying.

Thus, it was worth the gamble.

Zhang Haoran (92): ‘Since Brother Wang you’ve said so, then I’ll give it a try! [Striving.gif]’

Wang Ping (66): ‘Alright, I’ll send them over now, no need to be nervous.’

After saying that, Wang Ping directly sent the four Great Sacred Artifacts over.

On Zhang Haoran’s end, after taking a deep breath, he began to use the synthesis system.

The first synthesis attempt made Zhang Haoran’s face turn green because it failed.

Seeing the remaining two Great Sacred Artifacts, Zhang Haoran felt quite conflicted but still chose to synthesize.

In the end, a pleasant surprise occurred; the synthesis succeeded, and the two Great Sacred Artifacts turned into one Supreme Artifact.

Zhang Haoran (92): “Brother Wang, one failure, one success, I have successfully upgraded your life’s Great Sacred Weapon to a Supreme Artifact! Excited.jpg.”

Wang Ping (66): “Haha, not bad, not bad! I’ll send you a big red packet later as a reward for this.”

Wang Ping looked at Zhang Haoran’s words, his face was full of smiles, extremely delighted.

He just tried it with a mindset of giving it a try, but he didn’t expect Zhang Haoran to actually upgrade it to a Supreme Artifact, this truly doubled his combat strength.

Zhang Haoran (92): “Brother Wang, no no no, you’ve helped me so many times before and even saved my life… Giving me a reward would be too formal.”

Wang Ping (66): “Alright, then forget it.”

Wang Ping smiled and didn’t say much.

Indeed, everyone in the group owed him too much. Wang Ping didn’t make a fuss about it, mentioning that he must send a red packet or anything like that.

As the saying goes, ‘small kindness fosters noble people, great kindness breeds enemies’.

He still needed to give the other group members some opportunities to repay their gratitude.

Otherwise, if he kept accepting favors without a chance to repay, it might cause problems.

It’s inevitable, human nature is like that.

Next, Zhang Haoran sent the Supreme Artifact back via teleportation.

Wang Ping was very satisfied, accepted the red packet, and re-recognized its owner, a very easy process.

“Next, continue with the simulation; it’s time to think about breaking through to the Great Saint Realm.”

After feeling the power of his Supreme Artifact, Wang Ping put it away, his eyes brightening with thoughts.

In his last life simulation, he had inquired about the backgrounds of many Saint King List geniuses and potential entrants.

Although most of these geniuses were born in great powers and couldn’t be taken advantage of, there were still one or two who could be.

For this, Wang Ping needed to stake out these geniuses right after their birth.

As long as he took this genius as a disciple, Wang Ping would likely break through to the Great Saint level.

Once he reached the Great Saint level, Wang Ping planned to suppress Gu Xuan with his cultivation, forcing out all of Gu Xuan’s secrets to see just how powerful he really was.

Many thoughts flashed through his mind, and Wang Ping said in his heart: “System, I want to perform a paid simulation.”

“Ding, consuming 150,000 upper-grade divine sources, Life Simulator activated, refreshing talents…”

The system’s voice sounded.

“Ding, talent refresh successful, congratulations to the host for successfully refreshing Red Talent: Water Profound Body.”

“Yet again only a red talent… I understand, but why is it always a Profound Body? There are way too many Profound Bodies…”

Wang Ping looked at the refreshed talent, feeling quite speechless.

“If I selected all these Profound Bodies, perhaps they wouldn’t appear anymore, enhancing the chance to refresh higher-level talents? Additionally, if all basic Profound Bodies were collected, would there be a qualitative change?”

Wang Ping frowned slightly, thinking to himself.

However, Wang Ping thought this seemed unlikely. So many talents, if not refreshed as this red type, would just be refreshed as another red type.

As for whether collecting all the basic attribute Profound Bodies would cause a qualitative change, Wang Ping also found it doubtful.

After all, red talents are still red talents, which only give a considerable advantage in the Emperor Realm. Gathering Profound Bodies, even if a qualitative change occurred, could at most promote by half a level. Achieving the level of the Sacred Body was out of reach, not to mention far inferior.

Rather than selecting Profound Bodies, Wang Ping looked forward to assembling all the basic attributes of the Sacred Body; that would be a true qualitative change.

Unfortunately, whether it was the incomplete Spacetime Dao Body or the Sacred Body, the minimum was gold-level, and not just any gold-level… They likely touched the ceiling of gold-level, and even surpassed it… making them difficult to refresh, impossible to force.

As various thoughts flashed through Wang Ping’s mind, the system’s voice sounded again.

“Ding, talent loading successful, life simulation begins…”

Just as the Life Simulator System was about to immerse Wang Ping’s consciousness into the simulation mode, the chat group system’s voice also sounded simultaneously.

“Ding, detected major anomalies in Qin Tian (77)’s transmigrated world, the Immortal Cultivation World is facing total erosion task released: Save the Immortal Cultivation World.”

“Ding, this task is extremely difficult, proxy leader Wang Ping (66) can select any group member to participate in the task to save the Immortal Cultivation World.”

“What’s this? Qin Tian’s world is really falling apart?”

Wang Ping voluntarily suppressed the immersion simulation state, his expression fluctuating.

Everyone knew there were issues in Qin Tian’s Immortal Cultivation World.

However, Wang Ping had once simulated it… Even after hundreds of years, it hadn’t completely fallen. The Heavenly Dao and many Immortal Emperors of the cultivation world were still fiercely resisting the anomalous erosion.

Now, only five or six years later, it’s already about to end.

“It seems an anomaly is occurring, and this anomaly comes from the multiverse.”

Wang Ping’s expression turned very serious.

“This task is very dangerous. Should I go?”

Wang Ping hesitated.

The chat group system had clearly stated it was extremely dangerous and didn’t force anyone to participate.

He could choose not to go.

“Alpha, can I choose not to go?”

Wang Ping inquired inwardly.

Perhaps, by saving the cultivation world, he could earn a ten billion or even tens of billions of group points at once, bringing him closer to the trillion group points.

But he was currently growing stronger rapidly. Once he achieved the Emperor Realm, collecting group points would undoubtedly be easier without risking his life to participate in group missions.

Doing so would be more harmful than beneficial.

“You can choose to go, or you can choose not to. Dealing with anomalies has no teleportation restrictions. Even if you can’t handle it, the chat group will forcefully extract you.”

Alpha’s voice resounded.

“I see… However, dealing with anomalies, even with the ability to be forcefully extracted, inherently carries risks. Nevertheless, my Life Simulator can preemptively avoid many dangers. So, should I go?”

Wang Ping’s eyes flickered as he pondered silently.

“It seems unnecessary. The extinction of a world and the fall of countless beings may be cruel, but their lives are not worth more than mine. I have always valued my life the most.”

Wang Ping’s expression gradually calmed as he made up his mind.

“Although I agree your life is more important, the extinction of a cultivation world isn’t a big deal. However, I do suggest you go this time.”

At this moment, Alpha’s voice resounded again.

“Why?”

Wang Ping frowned and asked.

“I’ve mentioned before, the Stone of Rules can only be found in places like Multiverse Amusement Park, correct?”

Alpha’s cold voice responded.

“You did.” Wang Ping squinted his eyes and slowly said, “You mean, there’s another way to obtain a Stone of Rules?”

“No, there isn’t. At least in the worlds you currently have access to, a treasure of that level like the Stone of Rules is impossible to find.”

Alpha denied Wang Ping’s speculation but did not entirely contradict himself.

“The worlds I currently have access to… So the cultivation world isn’t qualified for it either. Then why do you want me to go?”

Wang Ping asked in confusion.

“Although you can’t currently access such high-level worlds, and it’s difficult to obtain a Stone of Rules externally, this time presents an opportunity.”

Alpha’s voice echoed again.

“Opportunity? What opportunity?”

Wang Ping’s eyes brightened, quite curious.

“The game to obtain the Stone of Rules is not something just anyone can participate in. It’s not enough to have substantial world essences; you need special entry tickets.”

Alpha’s cold voice explained to Wang Ping.

“This special entry ticket is the essence of anomalies reaching a certain level. And the level of the anomaly in the cultivation world just barely qualifies. Although it won’t let you directly participate in the complete Stone of Rules game, it allows you to join the fragment game. As long as you keep winning, you will eventually obtain a complete Stone of Rules.”

“Once you’ve won continually and obtained a complete Stone of Rules, you can further evolve your Golden Finger Life Simulator. By then…”

At this point, Alpha paused and did not continue.

“I see, then it’s indeed necessary to make a trip.”

Wang Ping murmured thoughtfully.

Alpha’s treatment of him was truly beneficial. Their fates were intertwined, both flourishing or failing together.

Therefore, Alpha was unlikely to deceive or betray him.

If faced with tasks fraught with danger or requiring significant risk to life, Alpha wouldn’t suggest them.

Since Alpha had advised him to go, he naturally needed to strive, preparing for future optimizations of the Life Simulator.

“By the way, what will happen by then?”

Wang Ping then curiously asked.

“Nothing.”

Alpha dismissed vaguely, unwilling to elaborate.

In response, Wang Ping shook his head slightly, not asking further or overthinking it, knowing it was pointless.

Subsequently, Wang Ping opened the chat group and entered the chat channel.

At this moment, the chat group was in an uproar.

Whether old group members or newcomers who joined later, everyone not on a mission or in deep cultivation under special circumstances was bubbling with activity.

Qin Tian (77): “Damn it, my original world is about to be destroyed? This is too scary. It was supposed to last hundreds more years before complete annihilation… As expected, anything can happen in the multiverse.”

Ye Xiaofan (75): “… Luckily, we moved beforehand. Otherwise, it would indeed be too dangerous. We don’t even know the current state of the Lower Realm.”

Fang Yun (3): “Well, since the chat group wants Brother Wang to take charge, there’s still hope, right?”

Chen Yao (71): “That’s indeed the case. But the situation must already be extremely critical.”

Wang Ping (66): “This group mission will allow me to choose participants, seemingly with no limit on numbers. So, I’ll select a few helpful group members. The rest can choose whether to participate voluntarily.”

Wang Ping (66) @All: “Cai Yonglong, Wu Jun, Liu Mei, Zhang Yueying, Chen Si, Chen Kang, Lin Yuanyuan, join me in this group mission. Do you have any issues with that?”

Zhang Yueying (86): “Since Brother Wang wants me to go, I’ll definitely go. But I’m currently participating in another group mission… bitter smile.jpg“

Chen Kang (67): ‘Uh, I’m also doing the group task.’

Wang Ping (66): ‘Other group tasks can be put on hold for now. Temporarily transmigrate over. As for the lost group points, I can compensate you all.’

Lin Yuanyuan (80): ‘Brother Wang, there’s no need to say more. No matter what task I’m executing, if Brother Wang needs me, I’ll be there.’

Cai Yonglong (1): ‘Yuanyuan is right, I’m the same.’

Zhang Yueying (86): ‘That’s not what I meant, I’m just concerned whether the task can be interrupted, it’s not about being reluctant to lose points or anything.’

Chen Kang (67): ‘Plus one to what the above said.’

Qu Zhong (201): ‘Um, Brother Wang, can I go too? I think I can be of help.’

This sudden emergence of a group member surprised everyone in the group.

Wang Ping also had a flash in his eyes, somewhat surprised.

In recent years, many newcomers had joined.

However, perhaps because these surviving group members were survivor bias, each lived quite comfortably, with excellent Golden Fingers, they had somewhat forgotten what Cai Yonglong initially said… most Golden Fingers are very ordinary, only a few are amazing.

Thus, the vast majority of the later joining group members have had a pretty miserable time.

There were two parts to this misery.

The first part is that many died.

The second part is that those newcomers who exposed their Golden Fingers had poor luck, drawing very ordinary ones, with little utility.

Because of this, veterans like Wang Ping adopted a laissez-faire approach to these newcomers, providing initial growth gift packages, but afterwards, it’s up to them.

If they had any questions, there would be answers when time allowed, and occasional help, but not too much.

Unless these people could gather enough group points through their own abilities, and draw new Golden Fingers; if that Golden Finger was excellent, then Wang Ping and the other veterans would fully nurture them.

This is not being cold-blooded, but practical. No matter where you are, whether you have potential and are worth cultivating is something seniors need to consider.

‘Good steel should be used on the blade,’ wasting resources is shameful.

Of course, if you didn’t draw another Golden Finger but have good talent yourself, that could warrant nurturing too.

It’s just that, most newcomers lacked either, and some even had low social intelligence, so naturally, they were left to fend for themselves.

In addition, there were some very cautious newcomers who did not expose too many details about themselves, and did not trust veterans like Wang Ping, silently developing themselves.

To this, Wang Ping and others did not force it, after all, caution is the norm.

And this group member Qu Zhong (201) was one of the cautious types.

Now that he bubbled up, actively wanting to participate in such a dangerous group task, Wang Ping was somewhat surprised.

To this, Wang Ping could only speculate that this newcomer might have encountered some difficulty in their own world.

Or they understood what tasks of this level of group task implied.

If he could perform outstandingly in this group task and gain enough contribution, he could instantly earn a large amount of group points and rise quickly.

Wang Ping (66): ‘Daring to participate in the group task is quite commendable, what is your Golden Finger and its capabilities?’

Qu Zhong (201): ‘Brother Wang, my Golden Finger is called Purification; it can purify curses and other negative statuses. I’ve seen the documents about Senior Qin Tian’s world in the group files, I think I’m quite suitable for this group task.’

Qu Zhong was also putting all on the line. He indeed encountered major troubles in his own world. If he didn’t acquire a large number of group points to increase his strength, it would be over for him.

Failing to display his value or obtain group points, he didn’t believe those powerful transmigrator seniors would spend group points to come to his world to save him.

After all, those without value who end up dead were not helped by these transmigrator seniors.

So, Qu Zhong didn’t trust Wang Ping and others.

If not for the trouble he encountered, he would have kept hiding.

Qin Tian (77): ‘Damn! Purification, damn, such a good Golden Finger, and you were hiding it, that’s too outrageous!’

Cai Yonglong (1): ‘With such a good Golden Finger, if you just said it, us veterans would have definitely taken you under our wing…you have wasted quite some time.’

Chen Kang (67): ‘Yeah, my sister and I both have auxiliary-type Golden Fingers, and we were taken under wings.’

Qu Zhong (201): ‘…’

Wang Ping (66): ‘Having vigilance is quite normal, you can’t blame him. Qu Zhong, your Golden Finger is good, it might have miraculous effects in this group task, so you can come along.’

Wang Ping was also quite surprised, not expecting Qu Zhong’s Golden Finger to be this excellent.

With this Golden Finger, facing those anomalies with disgusting abilities, it would be immensely useful.

Even if not facing anomalies, it would still be highly useful.

After all, curse-type divine abilities or regions imbued with curses are not uncommon in the multiverse. With this Golden Finger, many pitfalls could be avoided, playing a crucial role at key moments to avoid total wipeouts.

Of course, there is another issue, which is the level of the ability… without enhancing it, it’s of little use against extremely powerful curses or negative states.

So, to truly counter those immensely powerful curses or negative states, some upgrades would be required.

However, Wang Ping had accumulated tens of billions of group points, more than enough to help him optimize it twice.

The premise is that this time during the group task, his ability would be needed. Otherwise, without understanding his character, Wang Ping wouldn’t pour that many group points to nurture him.

Qu Zhong (201): ‘Thank you, Brother Wang! For this task, I’ll do my best not to drag you down!’

After seeing Qu Zhong’s response, Wang Ping didn’t say much. He once again asked in the group, seeing if any other veterans or newcomers were willing to participate in this group task.

However, the elderly members were generally aware that this time’s group task was more suited for those with special abilities, and raw strength didn’t hold much significance.

No matter how strong, could they surpass Brother Wang?

In the current chat group, only Lin Yuanyuan might be able to help Brother Wang a little with her strength.

As for the newcomers, except for Qu Zhong who spoke up, the others still remained silent, perhaps lurking or maybe not even seeing the messages.

Wang Ping didn’t mind this.

Then, after reminding the group members to avoid inhaling the spiritual energy of Qin Tian’s world upon transmigration, he directly input the personnel list for the group task.

As Wang Ping input the group personnel list, he disappeared into white light.

Apart from this, Cai Yonglong, Wu Jun, Liu Mei, Zhang Yueying, Chen Si, Chen Kang, Lin Yuanyuan, and Qu Zhong also disappeared, being teleported to the cultivation world.

When Wang Ping’s vision cleared again, he witnessed a horrifying scene.

In Wang Ping’s eyes, the entire world had turned into a twisted monster. Its body had countless tentacles, countless disgusting bugs, indescribable monsters.

Evidently, the cultivation world where Qin Tian resided, the previously traversed Lower Realm, had been completely polluted and had become part of that anomalous body.

“The Lower Realm is already like this; I really wonder what kind of ghost the Upper Realm has turned into, and what could have caused the anomaly to erupt prematurely.”

Many thoughts flashed through Wang Ping’s mind.

Just as Wang Ping was contemplating, others were also transmigrating over.

This time, there was no need for the Heavenly Eye; everyone saw this terrifying scene directly and almost vomited.

Simultaneously, the energy shield formed by the weaker Qu Zhong was rapidly twisting, turning into bugs, sprouting tentacles.

Even his body started to show tentacles.

Clearly, he too was being polluted.

Regarding this, Wang Ping frowned slightly and directly used a secret technique, forming a spacetime barrier that protected Qu Zhong and the others.

“Purification!”

Once Qu Zhong came to his senses, his face changed drastically, and he immediately used purification on himself.

In an instant, a rain of white light enveloped Qu Zhong, and the tentacles on his body disappeared rapidly.

This allowed Qu Zhong to breathe a sigh of relief, his face pale as he panted madly.

Having just transmigrated over, he almost died.

This world was too dangerous.

“Are you sure this isn’t a Cthulhu evil god?”

Qu Zhong looked at this world formed by the monster and felt his stomach churn, unable to resist vomiting.

“Maybe. Whether it’s an evil god or an anomaly, they are all dangerous existences. When encountered, either destroy them or find a way to escape.”

Wang Ping spoke calmly.

“And our goal this time is to destroy them.”

“Uh…” Qu Zhong was speechless.

“Brother Wang, is this our long-lost large group engagement? Apart from the first time dealing with that zombie anomaly where everyone in the group was forcibly teleported over, this is the first time a group task involves more than six people.”

Cai Yonglong smiled and said.

“Our first group task had only eight people. This time, there are nine.”

Wu Jun sighed.

“The anomaly we’re dealing with this time is probably the most dangerous one we’ve ever faced. But, we are not the same as we were before.”

Liu Mei said gravely.

Zhang Yueying, Chen Si, Chen Kang, and Lin Yuanyuan remained silent; they had joined later and hadn’t experienced the first time dealing with an anomaly.

“Yes, we’ve grown a lot and become stronger. Of course, combat power is secondary; the primary growth is our abilities and their diversity.”

Wang Ping smiled.

Then, Wang Ping’s expression paused. He looked down at the monster sweeping towards them and said lightly, “But, let’s chat later. For now, let’s destroy this world that has been polluted into a monster.”

With that, Wang Ping extended his hand.

He didn’t use any divine abilities, laws, or supreme artifacts. He simply extended his hand and gently pressed downward.

Then, under the shocked gazes of Cai Yonglong and the others, a gigantic hand made of flames descended from the sky, suppressing the entire world.

Countless monsters wailed, turning to ashes.

Even the world that had been polluted into a monster was destroyed.

This area turned into void, and everything ceased to exist.

“Brother Wang is indeed incredible, a half-step Great Saint, terrifying as ever.”

Cai Yonglong clicked his tongue.

As for Qu Zhong, he was too shocked to speak.

He always knew that the senior members of the group were strong, especially Brother Wang, the epitome of invincibility, but he hadn’t expected such power, to erase a world with a mere gesture.

“This is nothing. Now even Yuanyuan can easily do this.”

Wang Ping chuckled softly, shaking his head slightly, his eyes deep.
