[With the appearance of the Blazing Fire Emperor Tower, you were naturally drawn to the tremendous commotion caused by it and chose to head to its location without hesitation.]
[Regarding the Blazing Fire Emperor Tower, you were aware of its origins because it appeared every time the secret realm opened. However, no one had ever passed through the Blazing Fire Emperor Tower's final trial of conquering its hundred levels.]
[Rumors had it that the Blazing Fire Emperor Tower was the lifebound Emperor weapon of the Blazing Fire Emperor, holding numerous secrets and immense power. It was said that only those who passed through the hundred levels of the Blazing Fire Emperor Tower could obtain the Blazing Fire Emperor's inheritance.]
[Thinking about the rumors surrounding the Blazing Fire Emperor Tower, you were excited, eager to challenge this tower and see how far you could ascend. Even if you couldn't obtain the inheritance, it was an opportunity to compete with the current generation's elite, an opportunity not to be missed.]
[As you arrived at the Blazing Fire Emperor Tower, many prodigies were already present. People were scattered across the sky and land, including ordinary Life and Death Realm cultivators who had come to witness the spectacle, hoping to see who in the Purple Spirit Realm could claim the title of the strongest of their generation. The idea of obtaining the inheritance didn't even cross their minds, as they didn't have the qualifications for it.]
[Many of them believed that you were the number one among the young generation, surpassing the previous generation's Saint Sons and even more ancient prodigies. They speculated on whether you could reach the 100th level and gain the Blazing Fire Emperor's inheritance.]
[However, some were skeptical, believing it impossible for anyone to reach the 100th level. The Blazing Fire Secret Realm had appeared for 8,000 years, and no one had ever reached the 100th level. The most powerful individuals had only reached the 98th level, and this legendary figure had established his own sacred grounds in Central Province over 2,000 years ago, becoming an unparalleled Emperor in his era.]
[Although you had displayed immense talent and potential, and even possessed the potential of an Emperor, having the potential and actually becoming an Emperor were two different things. Many prodigies throughout history possessed talent comparable to yours, but not all of them became Emperors. Many perished midway, either getting stuck at the King Realm or the Quasi-Emperor level.]
[You paid little attention to the discussions and simply observed the Blazing Fire Emperor Tower, sensing the terrifying power it contained.]
[Soon, Ye Chen also arrived and greeted you. You noticed that Ye Chen had made remarkable gains, his aura significantly stronger, and he exuded the aura of the Blazing Fire Earth. However, you remained confident that in a fight between the two of you, Ye Chen would still not be your match and would be easily subdued.]
[People soon began challenging the tower, including Saint Sons among them. You and the others watched without any immediate intention to enter, wanting to see how far these individuals could ascend.]
[It didn't take long for you to make your own judgment—the Blazing Fire Emperor Tower's trials were indeed extremely difficult. Even those who claimed to be comparable to Ji Bingyue only reached the 95th level and found it challenging to progress further.]
[Ji Bingyue herself decided to enter the tower, but unfortunately, she only reached the 96th level. As for Cai Yonglong, he barely reached the 90th level but failed to pass its trial.]
[Next, both you and Ye Chen decided to challenge the tower, attracting the attention of many. After all, you had gained quite a reputation within the secret realm, defeating various formidable opponents and establishing yourselves as the strongest, at least among those in the Life and Death Realm who had to suppress their cultivation levels within the Blazing Fire Secret Realm.]
[Before long, you and Ye Chen effortlessly passed the 95th level, shocking many as you ascended at a much faster pace compared to other prodigies.]
[Soon, you reached the 96th level, leaving countless people astonished, and their admiration for you grew. When Ye Chen reached the 98th level, your progress showed no signs of slowing down.]
[Amid the gazes of the crowd, when Ye Chen reached the 98th level, you had already advanced to the 99th level.]
[This left countless people in awe, as it was breaking historical records. They were curious whether you could reach the 100th level.]
[Finally, you successfully broke through the 99th level and reached the 100th level, completely shattering historical records and astonishing everyone. The Blazing Fire Emperor's Tower hadn't imposed any trial on the 100th level; instead, a phantom figure appeared before you. You deduced that this phantom was likely the remnant consciousness left behind by the Blazing Fire Emperor.]
[The Blazing Fire Emperor's remnant consciousness expressed admiration for your strength and talent, acknowledging that even when he was young, he wasn't as accomplished as you. Unfortunately, he concluded that you were not the suitable recipient of his inheritance. Instead, he believed Ye Chen was the one best suited for it.]
[You felt somewhat helpless, realizing that the Blazing Fire Emperor's inheritance was not meant for you. It was clear that it was destined for Ye Chen.]
[Seeing your disappointment, the remnant consciousness of the Blazing Fire Emperor chuckled and stated that although he wouldn't pass on his inheritance to you, he would reward you generously for your outstanding performance.]
[You anticipated the Blazing Fire Emperor's reward and were presented with three King-class treasures, a Fire Spirit Puppet with quasi-King-level combat power, and a substantial amount of resources.]
[Although you were still somewhat disappointed that you hadn't received the inheritance, you weren't disheartened. You had gained a substantial amount from this experience.]
"I knew it would be like this. I came to this Blazing Fire Secret Realm to get some benefits. I wasn't really expecting the inheritance or anything," you said with a nonchalant tone.
Wang Ping, while watching the simulation, couldn't help but make a sarcastic comment. He wondered if Ye Chen would be able to obtain the Blazing Fire Emperor Tower's inheritance. If he did, it would be a fantastic stroke of luck.
"I don't believe it. When I become even more formidable, I'll see if they choose me or Ye Chen. I might even find a way to prevent Ye Chen from entering this realm. I don't care about the techniques and abilities, but I must obtain those King-class treasures," Wang Ping muttered to himself.
While Ye Chen was more suited for the Emperor's inheritance, it ultimately depended on whether his talent reached the level that would impress the Blazing Fire Emperor's remnant consciousness. When it came to that level, it wouldn't be a question of suitability; the inheritance would belong to Ye Chen.
"Forget it, discussing this is pointless. If I really want to get that King-class treasure, instead of relying on the simulation, I should think about whether I can refresh it as a reward through some method," Wang Ping shook his head, dispelling his idle thoughts, and continued to focus on the screen.
[After leaving the tower, Ji Bingyue curiously asked if you
had obtained the inheritance. You shook your head, mentioning that the Blazing Fire Emperor said the inheritance was not suitable for you. Ji Bingyue felt regretful. You were the first to pass the trial, but it seemed you hadn't received the inheritance.]
[At that moment, Ye Chen also reached the 100th level, causing another wave of astonishment. Ye Chen had successfully obtained the Blazing Fire Emperor's inheritance, causing the Blazing Fire Emperor Tower to emit radiant light, and the entire secret realm began to tremble. Soon after, everyone was forcefully transported out of the secret realm.]
[As the news of your and Ye Chen's achievements spread among the waiting powerful figures outside, they were utterly shocked. Learning that both of you had reached the 100th level was astonishing enough, but the possibility of Ye Chen gaining the inheritance filled them with envy.]
[After all, the influence of an Emperor's inheritance was immense, enough to trigger a surge in a sacred ground's foundation. Whether it was the Emperor's techniques, divine arts, secret methods, or the resources accumulated by the Emperor, they were all incredibly valuable.]
[When you reached the 100th level, you found no trial but instead encountered a phantom. You realized that this phantom was likely a remnant consciousness left behind by the Blazing Fire Emperor.]
[The Blazing Fire Emperor's remnant consciousness expressed admiration for your strength and talent but lamented that you were not suitable to inherit his legacy. On the other hand, Ye Chen, although not as talented as you, was the ideal candidate.]
[Feeling somewhat helpless, you knew that the Blazing Fire Emperor's inheritance was beyond your grasp and was indeed meant for Ye Chen.]
[Seeing your disappointment, the Blazing Fire Emperor's remnant consciousness chuckled and assured you that while you wouldn't receive the inheritance, you would receive substantial rewards.]
[The Blazing Fire Emperor's words filled you with anticipation. He then rewarded you with three King-class treasures, a Fire Spirit Puppet with quasi-King-level combat power, and a wealth of resources.]
[Despite your slight disappointment about missing the inheritance, you were far from disheartened. This experience had still brought you great gains.]
"I knew it would be like this. I came to this Blazing Fire Secret Realm to get some benefits. I wasn't really expecting the inheritance or anything," you said with a nonchalant tone.
Wang Ping, while watching the simulation, couldn't help but make a sarcastic comment. He wondered if Ye Chen would be able to obtain the Blazing Fire Emperor Tower's inheritance. If he did, it would be a fantastic stroke of luck.
"I don't believe it. When I become even more formidable, I'll see if they choose me or Ye Chen. I might even find a way to prevent Ye Chen from entering this realm. I don't care about the techniques and abilities, but I must obtain those King-class treasures," Wang Ping muttered to himself.

Ji Bingyue felt regretful. You were the first to pass the trial, but it seemed you hadn't received the inheritance.]

[After all, the influence of an Emperor's inheritance was immense, enough to trigger a surge in a sacred ground's foundation. Whether it was the Emperor's techniques, divine arts, secret methods, or the resources accumulated by the Emperor, they were all incredibly valuable.]
Many sacred grounds didn't want the Tianjian Sacred Ground to enjoy the Emperor's inheritance alone and hoped to get a share. This situation made the quasi-Emperor ancestors of the Tianjian Sacred Ground feel very solemn. Although the Tianjian Sacred Ground was powerful, it was still only one of the top ten sacred grounds. It couldn't single-handedly fend off numerous other sacred grounds, especially considering that there were even more powerful sacred grounds among them.
At a tense moment like this, your master, the Emperor of the Void Sky, appeared, accompanied by other Emperors. Many, including you, couldn't remain calm in the face of this. Emperors were rarely seen, let alone appearing one after another. It was truly a breathtaking sight.
However, when it came to Emperor legacies, it held immense significance for the sacred grounds. Even Emperors had to get involved, or else the Tianjian Sacred Ground couldn't take the inheritance with them.
You couldn't help but wonder how they would distribute the benefits, especially since Ye Chen hadn't come out yet, and the inheritance hadn't been secured.
However, how the Emperors divided the benefits wasn't something you could meddle in. In the end, you didn't know what happened exactly, but the major powers left one after another. You were also brought back to the Tianjian Sacred Ground.
After returning to the Tianjian Sacred Ground, you were curious about how the situation had been resolved. The Emperor of the Void Sky merely shook his head and said it was the same old rules, rallying a group of people to share the cake, with the Tianjian Sacred Ground getting the largest piece, and the rest sharing the remainder.
You sighed at this. Even a sacred ground couldn't monopolize everything when faced with greater interests. Unless the sacred ground truly surpassed all others and made them think twice.
At the same time, you thought about Ye Chen. Clearly, Ye Chen had obtained the inheritance, but many things couldn't be controlled by him due to the limitations imposed by the Blazing Fire Emperor's legacy. Even though he had received the Emperor's inheritance, he couldn't completely control it on his own.
Next, to verify your own strength, you engaged in a battle with the Third Prince of the Sacred Sons who was in the Life and Death Realm Second Stage. After an intense battle, you managed to win against the Third Prince, shocking the onlookers, who marveled at your tremendous strength.
After defeating the Third Prince, you were quite pleased because you had finally verified your combat ability. As you had speculated, you could defeat Life and Death Realm Second Stage individuals with ease.
However, compared to your excitement, many powerful figures in the Tianjian Sacred Ground and Ji Bingyue were astonished. The Third Prince was a bit depressed after being defeated because, as a Sacred Son, being defeated by someone from a lower realm was quite embarrassing.
In the blink of an eye, a year passed. During this year, you continued to cultivate without suppressing your cultivation, preparing to break through to the Life and Death Realm. Eventually, you broke through to the Life and Death Realm, not just at the First Stage but directly reaching the Second Stage.
Although it was a bit tough to overcome two extremely intense tribulations at once, you managed to endure it and underwent a qualitative transformation in your strength.
As for Ye Chen, he had returned to the Tianjian Sacred Ground during this year. However, due to the restrictions imposed by the Blazing Fire Emperor's legacy, he couldn't share the techniques and abilities he had obtained.
Evidently, the Blazing Fire Emperor had foreseen this and placed these restrictions to prevent the other sacred grounds from coveting the Tianjian Sacred Ground's resources and the Blazing Fire Emperor Tower.
Ultimately, the matter of the Blazing Fire Emperor's legacy came to an end. The main reasons for this were the fear of triggering a massive sacred ground war and the current unrest in the Purple Spirit Realm. Besides the threat of the Nine Abyss Demon Sect as the dominant demonic force, there was the unknown "Emperor of Condemnation" who might awaken at any time. Additionally, there was the looming threat of the Blood Demon Clan's invasion.
In light of these factors, an Emperor's legacy alone was not enough to incite the sacred grounds to war. Such a conflict would only benefit external enemies. Of course, the fact that the techniques, abilities, and secret methods couldn't be duplicated played a role in this decision. If it were possible, the other sacred grounds would exert more pressure on the Tianjian Sacred Ground to gain a share.
"Even sacred grounds face difficulties. This world is indeed quite cruel," Wang Ping sighed as he watched the simulation content.
As powerful as the Tianjian Sacred Ground was, it couldn't enjoy exclusive benefits. Perhaps only the Judgment Sacred Ground in its prime had no one daring to covet it, as the Judgment Emperor stood a half-step above other Emperors and was significantly stronger.
In the following three years, Ye Chen, Ji Bingyue, and Cai Yonglong each broke through to the Life and Death Realm. Meanwhile, you remained in seclusion, focusing on raising your cultivation level and attempting to comprehend your pseudo-King-class divine ability or the embryonic form of your domain.
Not long after, you and Ji Bingyue became Dao companions, leaving many envious. After your grand wedding, it was time for the competition among the Sacred Sons of the Eastern Desolation Sacred Ground.
In the arena, the Third Prince of the Purple Thunder Sacred Ground challenged you, still harboring some uneasiness about being defeated by you, along with many others, during the Blazing Fire Secret Realm incident.
You accepted the challenge. Although the Third Prince had digested the opportunities he obtained in the Blazing Fire Secret Realm and significantly improved, reaching the Fourth Stage of the Life and Death Realm, you easily defeated him, causing a sensation in the Eastern Desolation Sacred Ground.
This battle revealed that you had mastered a King-class divine ability, leaving many spectators in awe.
The First Princess of the Purple Thunder Sacred Ground couldn't sit still any longer, feeling that the reputation of the Purple Thunder Sacred Ground had suffered. She wanted to regain their pride by challenging you. However, the Sacred Lord of the Purple Thunder Sacred Ground directly stopped her. Even though the First Princess had reached the Seventh Stage of the Life and Death Realm, equivalent to the late stages, the Sacred Lord believed it was still not secure enough.
As a quasi-Emperor, he could naturally see that you were hiding even greater trump cards. Even if a Sacred Son or Sacred Daughter reached the Seventh Stage, they couldn't necessarily defeat you. This was also due to the fact that the talents and backgrounds of the Sacred Sons and Sacred Daughters weren't on par with yours; otherwise, they might have been able to challenge you.
However, since they had lost face, they needed to recover it. Thus, the Sacred Lord of the Purple Thunder Sacred Ground introduced a truly extraordinary individual. All major sacred grounds possessed Emperor's descendants, individuals with talents superior to the publicly recognized Sacred Sons and Sacred Daughters. These descendants received the full attention of their respective sacred grounds and were given the most precious resources, including flawless Profound Pills and perfect Yin-Yang Diagrams.
In addition, as descendants of Emperors, they were the most suitable candidates for cultivating the Emperor's techniques and abilities left by their ancestors. Although they might not fully master them, even a partial understanding would grant
them considerable power.
The Sacred Lord of the Purple Thunder Sacred Ground brought forth the direct descendant of the Purple Thunder Emperor, who had successfully cultivated Emperor-level techniques. This made all the Sacred Lords from other sacred grounds sigh in admiration, realizing that the era of true extraordinary individuals was approaching.
You then faced off against the direct descendant of the Purple Thunder Emperor. His cultivation level was much higher than yours, having reached the Seventh Stage of the Life and Death Realm. However, he was arrogant and chose to suppress his cultivation to the Second Stage of the Life and Death Realm, the same as yours.
You engaged in an intense battle, and without a doubt, he was the strongest opponent you had ever encountered, exerting tremendous pressure on you. Relying solely on your King-class divine ability and divine technique, you couldn't match him. In response, you unleashed your true trump card, harnessing the power of the Purple Spirit Illusory Fire for the first time.
[When the Purple Spirit Illusory Fire was unleashed, it shook the entire arena. Relying on the Purple Spirit Illusory Fire, you successfully defeated the direct descendant of the Purple Thunder Emperor, earning the respect and acknowledgment of many Sacred Sons and Daughters. They also realized the vast gap between themselves and you, sighing in their hearts.]
[The direct descendant of the Purple Thunder Emperor, who lost to you, was quite unwilling, but he couldn't unseal his cultivation to regain face. He only expressed that he would challenge you again next time and would surely defeat you, even with the Purple Spirit Illusory Fire.]
[In response, you appreciated his attitude, refraining from any boastful words and agreeing to a rematch next time.]
[After your several battles and standout performances, others also began to compete one by one. Ye Chen, too, made a name for himself, although not as impressive as you. Still, he garnered a lot of attention, leaving countless people astonished and recognizing him as a worthy successor of the Blazing Fire Emperor.]
[At the same time, you were aware that Ye Chen might not have successfully cultivated Emperor-level techniques and abilities yet. If he did, his strength would undergo a qualitative transformation, and even you might not be able to suppress him.]
[Ji Bingyue also entered the arena and surprised everyone with her exceptional performance, not falling behind Ye Chen. Shockingly, she had secretly cultivated the Ice Emperor's Emperor-level techniques. With these techniques, her combat power soared to astonishing levels, and she defeated various Sacred Sons and Daughters.]
[This made other sacred grounds in the Eastern Desolation even more envious, thinking that the three geniuses of the Tianjian Sacred Ground were truly abnormal.]
[In the end, in this competition among the Sacred Sons and Daughters, you shone the brightest, followed by Ye Chen, Ji Bingyue, and the descendants of the various Sacred Lords. The Sacred Sons and Daughters could only take a step back. Cai Yonglong, in particular, lost some of his presence.]
"Wow, this simulated Wang Ping is getting more and more impressive, showing off in various ways," Wang Ping commented as he watched the simulation content, his gaze subtly expressing his thoughts.
In these recent simulations, Simulated Wang Ping was indeed becoming more ostentatious. Now, he was even involving the descendants of Emperors in the scenarios. Even Emperor descendants who had cultivated Emperor-level techniques and abilities couldn't defeat you, which was truly terrifying.
However, this also highlighted the incredible power of the Purple Spirit Illusory Fire, elevating you to a level beyond your current realm.
Furthermore, the adaptability of the Elemental Spirit Scripture meant that, despite being a Royal-class technique, it was the most suitable for you. It didn't lag too far behind the Emperor-level techniques, which couldn't be fully utilized, and was still a powerful choice.
"I wonder what cultivation level Simulated Wang Ping will reach in the end with these simulations," Wang Ping pondered, his anticipation growing as he continued to gaze at the screen.
[As time passed, more than a hundred years went by. During this time, your cultivation reached the Fifth Stage of the Life and Death Realm. You also thought about Bai Tianhong and felt it was time to take him away from the Xuan Gui Continent.]
[In the past, you couldn't protect him, and if the White-Haired Crone took Bai Tianhong away, both she and Bai Yawei, the descendant of the Condemnation Emperor, would be targeted and eliminated. But now, you believed that if you informed your Master, Emperor Void Sky, he would be willing to take Bai Tianhong into the Tianjian Sacred Ground and provide protection.]
[Although Bai Tianhong's cultivation couldn't exceed the Mystique Dan Realm due to the curse, even with low cultivation, he would be able to enjoy the prosperity of two lifetimes within the Tianjian Sacred Ground, thanks to the legacies and resources you had left behind.]
[Soon, you took action. You left the Tianjian Sacred Ground and headed for the Xuan Gui Continent. On your way, you encountered an attack from the Nine Abyss Demon Sect. The Second Demoness and the Third Demoness of the Nine Abyss Demon Sect ambushed you.]
[As for those ancient monsters from the Nine Abyss Demon Sect, they were intercepted by the Tianjian Sacred Ground's guardian on your tail.]
[In the end, you faced off against the Second Demoness and the Third Demoness of the Nine Abyss Demon Sect in a two-on-one battle. With your cultivation at the Fourth Stage of the Life and Death Realm, you managed to kill the Second Demoness, who was at the Eighth Stage of the Life and Death Realm, and the Third Demoness, who was at the Seventh Stage of the Life and Death Realm. The ancient monsters of the Nine Abyss Demon Sect retreated.]
[This battle shocked the entire Purple Spirit Realm. Whether it was contemporaneous geniuses or powerful individuals from various factions, they were all amazed by your strength. Especially the Life and Death Realm experts from the Eastern Desolation countries, they sighed, realizing that they, the old-timers, had been completely surpassed by you young talents.]
[Even the Nirvana Realm experts couldn't help but feel regretful, thinking that it was only a matter of time before they would be overtaken by you. Perhaps in just a few hundred years, they would face the awkward situation of being defeated by you, becoming the backdrop for your fame.]
[Afterward, you continued your journey smoothly without further attacks from the Nine Abyss Demon Sect. You couldn't help but wonder what the "Nine Abyss Demon Emperor," the predecessor from another world, was thinking.]
[However, with your Master, Emperor Void Sky, by your side, you didn't worry too much. If the Nine Abyss Demon Emperor appeared, your Master, Emperor Void Sky, would also appear and intercept him.]
[Furthermore, other Emperors would join in to besiege him for justice. In these turbulent times, major sacred grounds hoped to capture the Nine Abyss Demon Emperor Chu Xiao and the high-ranking members of the Nine Abyss Demon Sect to eliminate these destabilizing factors within the Purple Spirit Realm.]
[For this reason, if the Nine Abyss Demon Emperor Chu Xiao, this predecessor from another world, appeared, he would undoubtedly be besieged. You welcomed this prospect because the Nine Abyss Demon Emperor Chu Xiao was a big headache for you. You genuinely hoped this "respectable predecessor" would meet his end soon, so you wouldn't have to be on constant guard whenever you ventured outside.]
[After arriving on the Xuan Gui Continent, you once again left behind some legacies before taking Bai Tianhong with you.]
[Bai Tianhong had truly fallen behind. All of you had become Sacred Sons and Daughters, while Bai Tianhong, who had been left on the Xuan Gui Continent, still had only an extraordinary realm cultivation. This was due to the legacies and resources you had provided; otherwise, he might have been stuck at the Spirit Yuan Realm.]
[In a blink of an eye, more than three hundred years had passed. During this time, the Purple Spirit Realm was in constant turmoil, with rising stars emerging everywhere. Among them, you remained one of the most prominent figures.]
[In just over three hundred years, your cultivation had advanced to the Half-Step Nirvana Realm, just a step away from reaching Nirvana Realm. Additionally, you successfully improved your Supreme Divine Ability to a Pseudo-King-level Divine Ability and learned your Master's Emperor-level Divine Ability, the Void Sky Sword Technique.]
[In terms of domains, you had gained many insights and believed that with a few more years of effort, you could successfully establish the embryonic form of your own domain.]
Thank you for your support, everyone!
