243 – The Fourth Seven-colored Talent! The Ghost Demon Sect!

Seeing the Palace Lord of the Taiyi Emperor Palace being so generous, Wang Ping suddenly felt that he might have asked for too little.

Of course, Wang Ping quickly dispelled such random thoughts from his mind.

One should not be too greedy, or it would be easy to get into trouble.

“Then let’s go with twenty million catties of supreme divine sources first. I will remember everything the Taiyi Emperor Palace has given me. If I can become immortal, I will definitely lead the entire Taiyi Emperor Palace to ascend.”

Wang Ping slightly cupped his hands, speaking seriously.

“Haha, leading the entire sect to ascend is the dream of our Taiyi Emperor Palace. We old folks no longer have the capacity to realize it. You are the most likely to accomplish it. You must practice diligently and not waste your extraordinary talent.”

The Palace Lord of the Taiyi Emperor Palace said with great satisfaction.

“Hmm.”

Wang Ping nodded.

Next, the Palace Lord of the Taiyi Emperor Palace did not procrastinate and directly used his authority to transfer twenty million catties of supreme divine sources to Wang Ping.

After receiving the twenty million catties of supreme divine sources, Wang Ping expressed his gratitude once again and returned to his peak, planning to continue his paid simulations.

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

Wang Ping’s eyes sparkled as he spoke in his heart.

Twenty million catties of supreme divine sources would allow him to simulate four times, hoping to refresh for fragment rewards within these four simulations.

Furthermore, he hoped to find a path leading directly to the peak of the Heavenly Supreme or even to a quasi-emperor.

If that were the case, Wang Ping could directly choose his cultivation level in the fourth simulation, becoming a powerful Heavenly Supreme or quasi-emperor.

This was the way to make the most efficient use of resources.

“Ding, consuming five million catties of supreme divine sources, the Life Simulator is starting, talents are being refreshed.”

The system’s voice rang out.

“Ding, talents refreshed successfully. Congratulations to the host for successfully refreshing the seven-colored talent: Explosive Blade and the red talent: Ice Mystic Body.”

Seven-colored talent: Explosive Blade: After activating this talent, each of the host’s attacks will be a critical hit, with critical damage between at least 400% and at most 1000%. Note: This talent is similar to the purple talent: Infinite Blade. The higher the level of the battle, the lower the probability of triggering higher critical damage. Also, possessing Explosive Blade will prevent the purple talent: Infinite Blade from being triggered; the two cannot overlap.

Red talent: Ice Mystic Body:

“Goodness, I’ve actually refreshed for another seven-colored talent, and this talent is an enhanced version of the purple talent Infinite Blade. Although it’s slightly inferior to seven-colored talents like the Spacetime Dao Body and Origin-Breaking Divine Eye, it is still quite powerful.”

Wang Ping looked at the description of the seven-colored talent Explosive Blade, smiling broadly with considerable joy.

“System, I choose the seven-colored talent: Explosive Blade.”

Immediately, Wang Ping made his choice.

“Ding, talent selected successfully; Life Simulation begins.”

The system’s voice rang out again, and Wang Ping’s consciousness blurred, entering an immersive simulation state.

Then, a screen appeared, and familiar words began to float forth.

【On the first day, you did not choose to self-seal but remembered the innate saintly beings. Now, having broken through to the Supreme level, you can restart the routine of growing stronger by accepting disciples…】

Although it is said that at the Supreme level, cultivation is still related to comprehension. At the Supreme level, one comprehends the true meaning of the Heavenly Dao. If one at the peak of Origin Supreme comprehends twenty percent of the true meaning of the Heavenly Dao, they can break through to the Earth Supreme level. At the peak of Earth Supreme, if one comprehends thirty percent of the true meaning of the Heavenly Dao, they can challenge the Heavenly Supreme level.

Therefore, you did not think about directly charging to the Earth Supreme level, but rather planned to push your cultivation to the peak of Origin Supreme first. As for the matter of comprehension, that will have to wait until the Great Golden Age. Right now, it is not the time for comprehension.

Understanding many things in your heart, you turned your attention back to Lin Yan and the Innate Saint. These two are prodigies who can be accepted as disciples even in the Post-Dharma Era, and they can likely boost your cultivation.

As for casting a wide net, you still planned to do it, considering it as an income. Although you feel that at the Supreme level, ordinary prodigies can no longer satisfy your conditions, the little cultivation they add is really too negligible.

However, even a mosquito is meat, so you shouldn’t waste it. So, you once again requested the permission to use the Emperor’s Weapons from the palace lord of Taiyi Emperor Palace. This time, you wanted not one but two Emperor’s Weapons.

If it wasn’t for the fact that you could only control two Emperor’s Weapons at the same time, you would have borrowed a third one. There’s no choice, you were preparing to face the White Bone Quasi-Emperor head-on and snatch the Innate Saint, so every bit of preparation was necessary.

The palace lord of Taiyi Emperor Palace really couldn’t understand your actions. After all, you had just returned with the Emperor’s Weapon and had asked him for resources. Instead of focusing on cultivation or self-sealing, you wanted to go out again, but for what he didn’t know.

However, since the palace lord of Taiyi Emperor Palace had decided to trust you, naturally he wouldn’t doubt you. He generously granted you the permission to use two Emperor’s Weapons and advised you to be safe and return to self-seal as soon as possible.

At the same time, the palace lord of Taiyi Emperor Palace, feeling uneasy, handed you a jade talisman. By burning this jade talisman, you can contact him directly. If Wang Ping encounters danger, he can ask a self-sealed quasi-emperor ancestor to come to your aid.

Although Taiyi Emperor Palace also has quasi-emperors who have not self-sealed or can no longer self-seal, they are like dragons whose heads are seen but tails are unseen, and no one knows where they are. Naturally, it is safest to ask for a self-sealed ancestor. Although this may consume the lifespan of the quasi-emperor ancestor, it is worth it for your safety.

After that, you once again left Taiyi Emperor Palace. But this time, you chose to take Cai Yonglong along and contacted Lin Yuanyuan, being well-prepared.

Next, you first went to the Great Origin Ancient Star. However, you did not plan to wait until the Great Saint Secret Realm opened to find Lin Yan but directly scanned the Great Origin Ancient Star with your divine sense to find him directly.

In the end, you successfully found Lin Yan while avoiding the forbidden land of Great Origin. At this moment, Lin Yan was much more immature than the Lin Yan in your memory, and his cultivation was only at the quasi-immortal level.

For this, you were not surprised. After all, the current time point was still nearly a hundred years ago. In the Post-Dharma Era, for Lin Yan to rise from quasi-immortal to true-immortal in nearly a hundred years was already very strong. After all, he was a rogue cultivator, not a child of any major power. It can only be said that he was truly someone with great luck.

Next, you did not waste any time. You directly revealed your identity and cultivation, referring to yourself as the original self, and expressed that Lin Yan had extraordinary talent. It would be a pity for him to continue as a rogue cultivator, so you wanted to accept Lin Yan as a disciple. Though you failed to do this in the past, now that you have become a Supreme, you wondered if things would change.

This time, when you took Lin Yan as your disciple, Lin Yan was very pleased and did not refuse. This surprised you, as you didn’t expect it to be so easy to take Lin Yan as a disciple.

This led you to speculate that now that you have reached the Supreme level, equivalent to a legendary strongman, and Lin Yan was only a quasi-immortal, he might be weaker than all of your previous simulations and probably had not gone through much hardship. So, he agreed to be your disciple so easily.

Of course, another possibility is that Lin Yan has not yet obtained the Soul Devouring Pearl. Without the Soul Devouring Pearl, Lin Yan is just an ordinary rogue cultivator, suddenly being taken as a disciple by a Supreme, naturally thinking it’s a stroke of good luck, it would be foolish not to apprentice.

You did not bother to find out whether Lin Yan had obtained the Soul Devouring Pearl or not. You simply had him formally perform the apprenticeship ceremony.

Following Lin Yan’s sincere ceremony, you successfully accepted this disciple and activated the effect of the seven-colored talent: Growing Stronger by Accepting Disciples, achieving a breakthrough in cultivation, directly reaching the mid-stage of Origin Supreme.

Although it was just a minor breakthrough, you were quite satisfied and did not feel disappointed.

Next, you did not plan to take Lin Yan directly to Taiyi Emperor Palace but handed him some cultivation techniques and divine abilities, as well as some cultivation resources, and then left directly.

This left Lin Yan completely bewildered, not understanding why you would ignore him after taking him as a disciple. But Lin Yan quickly thought of a reason, believing that you wanted him to train and become stronger faster, not wanting him to be a flower in a greenhouse.

While Lin Yan was imagining this, you also headed to the First Minor Universe. This time, you traveled through the universe on your own and found the experience quite intriguing.

After arriving at the First Minor Universe, you started to preach, continuing your previous methods of casting a wide net to gather more results. However, you didn’t hold out too much hope. After all, you have preached in the First Minor Universe several times. Unless you were extremely lucky and encountered an astonishing prodigy during your preaching, the harvest wouldn’t be significant.

After dealing with the matter of preaching, you headed to the Primordial Spirit Ancient Star where the Innate Saint resided, planning to stake out the place directly, not giving the White Bone Quasi-Emperor a chance to snatch him.

After all, the White Bone Quasi-Emperor is still a quasi-emperor, and if you can avoid it, you don’t want to fight him. Even if you hold two Emperor’s Weapons, you have no confidence in fighting the White Bone Quasi-Emperor.

A quasi-emperor is much stronger than a Supreme. And the White Bone Quasi-Emperor is not just an ordinary newly-ascended quasi-emperor; as a Supreme, you can’t risk provoking him.

In your previous simulations, you speculated that the anomaly with the Chaos Body could rely on countless lives to wear out a quasi-emperor, but that’s just your personal hypothesis.

In reality, a quasi-emperor is not someone that an anomaly who has just entered the Supreme level can provoke, even with a Chaos Body. To challenge a quasi-emperor and kill him, the Chaos Body would need to reach the peak of Heavenly Supreme. Otherwise, it’s impossible to fight a quasi-emperor.

After all, to become a quasi-emperor, most talents won’t be ordinary; they are likely to possess special constitutions. Although not as strong as a Chaos Body, they are still formidable. Moreover, such quasi-emperors often develop their constitutions to the Small Success Dominion, and some even to the Great Success Dominion.

The White Bone Quasi-Emperor, for instance, not only reached the Great Perfection level in cultivation but also brought his constitution to its peak. That’s why he is considered one of the elites among quasi-emperors, with very few capable of rivaling him. He is someone qualified to battle even an ordinary Great Emperor without a special constitution.

Therefore, even if you wield two quasi-emperor weapons, you’re reluctant to fight the White Bone Quasi-Emperor. The risk factor of battling him is still quite high for you.

Of course, you’re not afraid of him. After all, you have various talents assisting you. If you were to trigger the high crit damage effect of the seven-colored talent: Explosive Blade or the effect of the seven-colored talent: Instant Death Attack, it wouldn’t be impossible to kill the White Bone Quasi-Emperor.

While you were deep in thought, you brought Cai Yonglong to the Primordial Spirit Ancient Star, finding the family where the Innate Saint resides and moved in.

The family where the Innate Saint resides was very excited about your arrival. After all, you are a Supreme, and having you reside in their family is an honor and of great benefit to them.

In the blink of an eye, nearly a hundred years passed. During this century, due to your teachings, your cultivation level also improved, reaching the bottleneck of the mid-level Yuan Sovereign Realm, just a step away from advancing to the late Yuan Sovereign Realm.

This advancement was thanks to teaching a prodigy, which accelerated your cultivation progress. Otherwise, relying on the increases provided by ordinary prodigies wouldn’t even come close to achieving such a rapid pace.

However, that prodigious disciple was somewhat lacking, unable to match someone like Lin Yan who could ascend the Three Saint List with immense luck, and he couldn’t help you break through the small bottleneck to the late Yuan Sovereign Realm.

Of course, you weren’t disappointed. After all, there was plenty of time, so you could take it slowly.

Meanwhile, during this almost hundred years, you didn’t remain idle. Aside from cultivation, you frequently studied the Jade Talisman of Golden Light and an item obtained from Supreme Feng Mo, whom you had explosively killed.

Even though you’ve reached the Supreme Realm, the Jade Talisman of Golden Light remains inexplicable to you. But this is normal. After all, in your last simulation, you had even shown this artifact to Emperor Tianyu, yet even he couldn’t discern its secrets.

Emperor Tianyu deduced that forcibly breaking the restrictions would destroy its internal components. Therefore, the only way was either to find its key to unlock the restrictions or wait until your Origin-Breaking Divine Eye developed into the Small Success Dominion or even the Great Success Dominion to unlock it; otherwise, it would be useless.

As for the item obtained from Supreme Feng Mo, there were some tools originating from the Allheavens Playground, which once caused you quite a bit of trouble. However, they are now too rudimentary for you to use and can only be treated as toys.

However, among the items Supreme Feng Mo dropped, there was one that intrigued you particularly. You have been studying it over the years.

It was a piece of jade, of peculiar quality and extraordinary mystical properties. Yet, you sensed no energy fluctuations or any Daoist aura from it. You guessed it might not originate from the Upper Realm but from the Allheavens Playground or some other world.

Unfortunately, as you are still within the simulation, you cannot contact Alpha. Otherwise, you could have asked this encyclopedic entity to identify it for you.

Not long after, under your expectant gaze, the family of the Innate Saint finally gave birth to a child. As the child was born, awe-inspiring phenomena appeared, shaking this star domain.

At the moment of the child’s birth, you declared that this child was the one you had been waiting for, your destined disciple, whom you would mentor to attain the Emperor’s Path. Thus, you requested the family to let you take the child.

Upon hearing this, the parents were quite reluctant yet also delighted. After all, this was undoubtedly a great opportunity for their child and family, one that they couldn’t afford to miss.

They immediately agreed. You then promptly provided some resources and cultivation methods, preparing to leave.

However, before you could leave, the voice of the White Bone Quasi-Emperor echoed, sinisterly remarking that he didn’t expect you to have the same means as him to detect prodigies in advance. But to take the Innate Saint from him, you were not yet capable.

The appearance of the White Bone Quasi-Emperor made you frown, but you remained calm. After all, this was within your expectations. You had long suspected that the White Bone Quasi-Emperor had also arrived earlier, though probably only slightly later than you, merely remaining hidden.

With the White Bone Quasi-Emperor showing up, another quasi-emperor was likely to appear as well. At that moment, you thought it unnecessary to fight them but could instead find an opportunity to leave.

Just as you pondered, the White Bone Quasi-Emperor attacked. His strike was overwhelming, sparing no mercy, and his terrifying single-target Divine Ability bore down on you.

In response, you snorted coldly and instructed Cai Yonglong to use his talent, entering an invincible defensive state. This greatly surprised the White Bone Quasi-Emperor, who hadn’t expected you to have such means.

Just as the White Bone Quasi-Emperor intended to attack again, another quasi-emperor’s presence descended, attacking the White Bone Quasi-Emperor. Annoyed, the White Bone Quasi-Emperor had no choice but to battle the newly arrived quasi-emperor.

However, the two quasi-emperors did not engage in a death match but instead kept their eyes on you, preventing you from making any moves towards the Innate Saint and ensuring you couldn’t escape.

Their combat experience was rich. They recognized that Cai Yonglong’s Absolute Defense ability, despite appearing weak, could indeed defend against a quasi-emperor’s Divine Ability. It likely originated from the multiverse or some item.

Such anomalous abilities, though effective, surely had a time limit. They merely needed to prolong the fight, wait for the time to lapse, and then defeat you before competing for the Innate Saint.

For the thoughts of the two quasi-emperors, you naturally saw through them clearly. In response, you looked at the two with mockery and directly summoned two Emperor’s Weapons.

When the two Emperor’s Weapons appeared, both quasi-emperors were surprised. They did not expect you to be so extravagant, taking out two Emperor’s Weapons at once.

At the same time, they recognized the origins of these two Emperor’s Weapons and understood that you were from the Taiyi Emperor Palace, and your status and position must be extraordinary.

However, despite their surprise, neither of them intended to let you go. So what if they were Emperor’s Weapons? For cultivators below the quasi-emperor level, Emperor’s Weapons are extremely dangerous, but against quasi-emperors, unless the one wielding the Emperor’s Weapon is another quasi-emperor, they pose no real threat to someone of their formidable strength.

Nevertheless, the two didn’t expect you to not actually use the two Emperor’s Weapons to clash with them head-on. Although you were confident that you could rely on the Emperor’s Weapons to fight them, and even had a chance to kill them with luck, there was no need to push things that far.

Next, you finally activated the effect of the golden talent: Teleportation, planning to take the innate saint and Cai Yonglong and escape directly.

The golden talent: Teleportation naturally has some fluctuations. Supreme-level cultivators cannot intercept it, but quasi-emperors can. However, that would be under normal conditions.

After summoning the two Emperor’s Weapons, you used their terrifying power to shield yourself and obstruct the opponents.

Thus, although the White Bone Quasi-Emperor and the other quasi-emperor realized what was happening and tried to stop you from escaping, with the overwhelming power of the two Emperor’s Weapons, they ultimately couldn’t intercept you.

With this, you directly took the innate saint and Cai Yonglong and fled from there. Although doing so meant leaving the two Emperor’s Weapons behind…

However, you were not worried at all. Emperor’s Weapons can be recalled, even a quasi-emperor cannot destroy them. Though a quasi-emperor can seal them for some time, they generally wouldn’t bother, as it is a lot of effort for little reward.

Moreover, given the strong foundations of the Taiyi Emperor Palace, neither the White Bone Quasi-Emperor nor the other quasi-emperor would want to go too far.

Thus, although both the White Bone Quasi-Emperor and the other quasi-emperor were furious and wanted to drag you out and kill you, they could only rage helplessly, their roars shattering the Primordial Spirit Ancient Star and shaking the galaxy.

“Facing these old monsters, even when fully prepared, avoiding battle if possible is really Wang Ping’s usual style.”

Wang Ping looked at the simulated content of the text and chuckled lightly.

Nevertheless, the smooth success this time was an unexpected joy.

It seems that the method of using Emperor’s Weapons plus the golden talent: Teleportation worked well, enabling the simulated Wang Ping to escape before the quasi-emperors.

In the past, before joining the Taiyi Emperor Palace, facing quasi-emperors meant a death sentence; it was quite a headache.

Of course, even without this method, once he has the avatar of Emperor Tianyu in the future, he wouldn’t fear quasi-emperors.

Anyway, finding a new way to escape now counts as opening up a new method of use, which can be referenced in the future.

Of course, if possible, getting an even stronger teleportation talent would be even better.

“But refreshing such a talent is difficult, after all, only the seven-colored talent can meet the conditions. For now, it seems I’ll have to make do with the golden talent: Teleportation. I wonder where we’ll be teleported to this time. Hope it’s not a forbidden land…”

Wang Ping shook his head, sighed a bit, and continued to gaze at the screen.

As you teleport, you find yourselves arriving in a strange ocean. In this place, there is no spiritual energy, only endless eerie ghost aura and demonic aura, giving an extremely dangerous feeling.

Arriving here, you are speechless. You know that you have unfortunately teleported into some forbidden land.

Because you have read various ancient texts and are well-versed in the forbidden lands of the Upper Realm, you recognized where you have ended up. Unsurprisingly, this place is the infamous Ghost Demon Sea, one of the ten great forbidden lands.

Legend has it that the Ghost Demon Sea is located within the Fourth Minor Universe among the Nine Minor Universes. The center of the Fourth Minor Universe is water, and the corresponding forbidden land is the Ghost Demon Sea.

Then, you also recalled that the other eight minor universes each have their own primary attribute and related forbidden land. Furthermore, in a previous simulation, the Nine Star Pavilion used the nine great forbidden lands as nodes to set up an array.

This inevitably makes you suspect some grand secret. Additionally, the nine stars of the Nine Star Pavilion correspond to the nine attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, light, and darkness, further suggesting some causal relationship.

However, these secrets are beyond your reach now. What you need to consider is how to escape from the Ghost Demon Sea. On this matter, you have little confidence.

After all, even in a place as forsaken as the Ghost Demon Sea, even if Emperor Tianyu came, he would disappear without a trace, leaving it unknown whether he was alive or dead…

You, a Supreme, trying to survive here with Cai Yonglong and the innate Saint… it’s almost impossible…

Now, only Cai Yonglong’s Golden Finger is keeping you alive, otherwise, you fear you would already be dead…

Next, taking advantage of the remaining time on Cai Yonglong’s Absolute Defense, which can block the damage caused by the ghostly aura and demonic energy, you randomly chose a direction and charged towards it, aiming to find land within the Ghost Demon Sea…

As you flew, terrifying ghostly and demonic energies surged, forming horrifying demon creatures that pounced on you. These demons were omnipresent and in staggering numbers…

Moreover, their combat power was extremely terrifying; none were below the Saint level. Some even reached half-step Supreme and Supreme levels…

It’s worth noting that nobody knows how vast the Ghost Demon Sea is. This is just one area, yet it can produce such demons. It’s unimaginable what kind of terrifying creatures it could produce in total…

It can only be said that the name of the Ten Great Forbidden Lands is well-deserved… It’s an absolute forbidden zone for Cultivators. Supremes enter only to die, and even quasi-emperors have extremely low survival rates. For emperors… they would have to rely on luck…

Relying on Absolute Defense, you escaped madly, flying over the endless sea, ignoring the attacks from those demons…

However, at that moment, you noticed an anomaly on the previously calm pitch-black sea surface. Terrifying whirlpools formed, tearing at the space, with eerie suction pulling you, trying to drag you into the whirlpool…

This made your face change drastically. You exerted all your strength to escape. Although Absolute Defense was useful, it could only resist damage and seemed ineffective against this situation. Ultimately, you barely escaped by exerting all your strength to blast the whirlpool while fleeing…

But before you could catch your breath, a larger shadow appeared beneath the pitch-black sea surface, and an extreme sense of danger surged in your heart…

This sent shivers down your spine. Using the Origin-Breaking Divine Eye, you saw what lay beneath the sea — a monstrous fish intertwined with ghostly and demonic energies. Its aura was more terrifying than a quasi-emperor. If this creature took action, you feared survival would be nearly impossible…

At that moment, you burned your essence without any reservations, using all your strength to attack the emerging monster, hoping to trigger a high critical hit and the seven-colored talent: Instant Death Attack to directly kill it…

However, you were disappointed. Although you were lucky enough to trigger a quadruple combo plus six times the critical damage, your attack didn’t harm the monster. As a result, it didn’t meet the conditions to trigger the seven-colored talent: Instant Death Attack…

In your despair, the emerging monster opened its massive mouth, crushing you along with the surrounding space, swallowing you whole…

Seeing the content simulated by the Life Simulator, Wang Ping was speechless…

Whatever you’re afraid of, it always seems to happen…

He worried about being teleported to some forbidden place, and indeed, he was teleported to the ghostly Ghost Demon Sea…

“Looks like it’s over…”

Wang Ping sighed…

He didn’t believe he could lead two Saint Realm cultivators out of the Ghost Demon Sea alive…

After all, being directly swallowed by the sea monster seemed to leave no path to survival…

However, an unexpected turn of events occurred for simulated Wang Ping…

When you were swallowed into the monster’s belly, a power emerged, trying to digest you. But because of the remaining three seconds of Cai Yonglong’s talent ability, you barely survived…

Thinking this couldn’t be missed, since you couldn’t harm the monster from the outside, you believed you might still inflict damage from within…

Immediately, you exploded with all your power, launching attacks to injure the monster and trigger the seven-colored talent: Instant Death Attack effect, seeking a way out of the predicament…

However, to your dismay, despite your best attacks inside its body, you didn’t harm it. Its internal hardness was no less than its outer skin, with energy protection as well…

Apparently, this monster was intelligent. Daring to swallow you whole, it naturally had ways to protect itself from internal attacks…

Just as you were in utter despair, the space around you suddenly twisted, forming a space vortex. Then, a jade hand appeared, pulling you into the vortex…
