"Ding, talent refresh successful. Congratulations, host, you have refreshed a red-tier talent: Concealed Aura; a green-tier talent: Martial Genius."
Red-tier talent: Concealed Aura - With this talent, the host can freely conceal their aura, making it difficult for others to gauge their strength. Even emperors won't be able to sense your spiritual aura from a distance.
"Wow!"
Wang Ping was astonished when he saw the talents he had just refreshed. His accumulated luck had truly come through again, granting him another red-tier talent. Moreover, it was a talent he had longed for.
Red-tier talent Concealed Aura! With this talent, he no longer needed to worry about being targeted by Chu Xiao, the 'Transcender Senior' of the Nine Yin Demon Emperor.
Although the talent's description mentioned that it couldn't completely hide his true self when too close, it was more than sufficient.
After all, Chu Xiao, the Nine Yin Demon Emperor, wouldn't have the leisure to focus on a somewhat 'special' junior like him. In the eyes of emperors, unless it was someone of the same level or considered a pawn or successor, they might not pay attention to talented juniors, even if they were geniuses. In the world of cultivation, even the most talented individuals might not become emperors due to various unforeseen circumstances.
Xuanbing Emperor Zun was quite talented, but despite being called an Emperor Zun, he ultimately couldn't reach the Emperor Realm, and that was the result.
"Speaking of which, with this red-tier talent, I don't need to worry about Chu Xiao, the 'Transcender Senior,' targeting me. But Cai Yonglong is a different story; once he appears, I'll still be exposed. Then, I'll become the target by association."
Wang Ping furrowed his brow slightly as he recalled Cai Yonglong.
"Fine, this time, I won't let Cai Yonglong join the Sacred Land. I'll let him develop quietly and avoid exposure. Oh, and Ye Chen too. This time, I'll make sure he doesn't enter the Blazing Fire Secret Realm and see if I can obtain the inheritance of the Blazing Fire Emperor Zun."
Various thoughts surged in Wang Ping's mind as he said to the system, "System, I choose the red-tier talent: Concealed Aura."
"Ding, talent selection successful. Life simulation begins."
The familiar voice of the system rang out, and the screen displayed text.
[Day 1, you choose to return to the Tianhai Country to take Ye Chen away before he is taken away by a superior. This will pave the way for the inheritance of the Blazing Fire Emperor Zun.]
[Unfortunately, even though you returned to Tianhai Country as quickly as possible, you were still a step too late. Ye Chen had already disappeared.]
[You deeply regret this but can only return to the Black Light Valley. After Cai Yonglong comes out of seclusion, you give him the divine bead condensed by the Light Main God Apollo to let him try to absorb its power.]
[Cai Yonglong is very surprised but decides to absorb it. In the end, he successfully inherits the power of the Light Main God Apollo. However, there is a significant flaw: the power is consumable, using a bit reduces it, and it cannot be replenished until it is exhausted.]
"It's great that it can be inherited, but the consumable nature of this power makes it somewhat trashy," Wang Ping commented as he read the simulation's content with a slight frown.
The power of the Half-Step Life and Death Realm was not significant for Wang Ping, and being consumable further diminished its value, making it a disposable item that might help a fellow member in desperate situations.
"Anyway, let's keep it for now; maybe I haven't figured out the proper way to inherit it."
Wang Ping shook his head slightly and stopped dwelling on it, continuing to look at the screen.
[Next, you make Cai Yonglong stay in the Black Light Valley for cultivation and give him many instructions before leaving. You then proceed to the Heavenly Sword Sacred Land and successfully become the direct disciple of Emperor Skyspace. This time, due to your aura concealment, Emperor Skyspace's attitude towards you is even better, and he trusts you more.]
[In the following days, you silently cultivate and diligently comprehend the power of your domain. During this period, you rarely take action. Although you hold the status of Emperor Skyspace's direct disciple, no one knows your true strength. Even Ye Chen and Ji Bingyue do not know. They simply feel that you are powerful but have no idea how strong you actually are.]
[As for Cai Yonglong, he does not join the Sacred Land and continues to develop secretly, but there is no need to mention that.]
[Before the Blazing Fire Secret Realm is about to open, Ye Chen finally can't resist his curiosity and challenges you. This also piques the interest of the powerful figures in the Heavenly Sword Sacred Land.]
[After careful consideration, you accept the challenge. In the end, you only reveal a small fraction of your strength and easily defeat Ye Chen. This battle causes a sensation in the Heavenly Sword Sacred Land.]
[Next, the Blazing Fire Secret Realm opens, and you enter it. Due to the absence of Cai Yonglong, you don't obtain any significant opportunities and gain very little. However, you're not too concerned about it because you are focused on the inheritance of the Blazing Fire Emperor Zun.]
[You are well aware that Ye Chen is your biggest obstacle to obtaining the Blazing Fire Emperor Zun's inheritance. However, since you have reached this point, you don't have any crooked thoughts and intend to compete fairly.]
[Now, your understanding of the power of the domain has reached a higher level. You believe there is still hope to obtain the Blazing Fire Emperor Zun's inheritance.]
[Regarding the True King Blood Flower, you conceal your aura and identity, seize the opportunity, and make a move to take it. You leave everyone in awe, and not even Ji Bingyue recognizes you.]
[This time, you deliberately wait for the people from the Nine Yin Demon Sect to appear, but they do not. Your heart confirms a suspicion: the group of people in your memory did indeed come for you, the 'Transcender.' Once you conceal your aura, they have no need to take risks.]
[Next, you wait in advance where the Blazing Fire Emperor Tower will appear and prepare to be the first to enter the tower.]
[When the Blazing Fire Emperor Tower appears, this time, you don't hold back at all. You unleash the Purple Spirit Illusory Fire, your divine technique, and your nascent power of the domain, rushing to the one hundredth floor at an incredible speed.]
[Because you've been lurking here without looking for opportunities, there aren't many people around, but a few individuals arrive later and witness someone reaching the one hundredth floor with astonishing speed. They are thoroughly shocked. As for Ye Chen, nobody knows where he is.]
[As for reaching the one hundredth floor, it's useless unless it's done properly.]
[As for the Heavenly Sword Holy Land, they had already calculated that you had not perished and were excited, believing that you had a high chance of inheriting. After you returned to the Heavenly Sword Holy Land, the ancient beings of the Holy Land finally confirmed this, filled with joy.]
[However, when they found out that the techniques and abilities of the Blazing Fire Emperor could not be passed down, they felt a bit disappointed. In the end, this matter concluded hastily. The ownership of the Blazing Fire Emperor's inheritance became a mystery in the Purple Spirit Realm. Although the Holy Land speculated it was yours, there was no evidence, and nothing more could be done.]
[In the blink of an eye, hundreds of years had passed. During these hundreds of years, you diligently cultivated and worked hard to improve your strength. In this world, you did not become Dao companions with Ji Bingyue, truly becoming a dedicated cultivator.]
[For this reason, you unexpectedly comprehended the rudiments of an incomplete domain in a moment of enlightenment. At this point, you had already essentially grasped the rudiments of the domain; you just needed a bit more time to perfect it.]
[As for your cultivation, it also made tremendous progress. With the complete inheritance of the Blazing Fire Emperor, you obtained vast resources. Because of this, you comprehensively improved yourself and were stronger than your memories. You shared the same body refinement, but your cultivation had reached the level of Nirvana.]
[It can be said that you have completely surpassed the peers of your generation. After all, even Ye Chen, who is of the same generation as you, has only reached the level of Great Perfection in the Life and Death Realm, far from matching your memories of him.]
[Nirvana Realm is a significant hurdle, and even someone like Ye Chen, without a great opportunity, would take more than a hundred years to break through from the Half-Step Nirvana Realm to the Nirvana Realm.]
[However, although you broke through to the Nirvana Realm, you knew the principle of 'a tall tree catches the wind.' You continued to hide your true cultivation and strength, remaining very low-key. Besides your master, the Emperor of the Void Sky, who recognized some of your secrets and marveled at your genius, no one knew how powerful you truly were.]
"Ah, this..."
Wang Ping looked at the simulated content, not knowing what to say.
This is just too smooth, reaching the Nirvana Realm directly. It's as if they don't want anyone else to live.
"If this continues, could there be hope of becoming a king?"
Wang Ping's mind couldn't help but think this.
However, soon he woke up abruptly.
"I can't think like this; it's just setting up a flag. Every time I think like this, I die halfway."
Wang Ping silently complained in his heart, pushing away distracting thoughts and continuing to gaze at the screen.
[Not long after, the Purple Spirit Realm was invaded by the Blood Demon Clan. All the powerhouses of the Purple Spirit Realm were alarmed and went to the Central Continent to confront the Blood Demon Clan's powerhouses.]
[This time, because you didn't expose your identity as a time traveler, the Ninth Dark Demon Emperor did not bother you and chose not to attack the Heavenly Sword Holy Land. You breathed a sigh of relief about this. After all, the pressure from the Ninth Dark Demon Emperor, Chu Xiao, this 'time traveler senior,' was too great. If he had attacked opportunistically, you would have had no chance.]
[However, something unexpected happened. While both sides of powerful beings were deadlocked, Chu Xiao, the Ninth Dark Demon Emperor, did not attack you but instead launched an assault on the Xuanwu Continent.]
[For Chu Xiao, it was a perfect opportunity because all the powerhouses of the Purple Spirit Realm were drawn away by the Blood Demon Clan. Attacking the Xuanwu Continent and targeting the sealed Sinful Emperor inside Xuanwu was an excellent opportunity. Once the Sinful Emperor was released from Xuanwu's body, many powerful beings from the Purple Spirit Realm would be trapped, and the realm would be in turmoil, causing great resentment.]
[At that time, he could use this opportunity to advance further and reach higher levels.]
[The Ninth Dark Demon Emperor brutally attacked the Xuanwu Continent. Due to the appearance of the Blood Demon Clan, the unusual presence within Xuanwu had already been agitated, trying to break the seal. Xuanwu had no choice but to gather all its strength to stabilize the seal and prevent the anomaly from escaping. Now, with enemies attacking from both sides, Xuanwu was seriously wounded.]
[Even though Xuanwu was known for having the strongest defense in the Purple Spirit Realm, trying to withstand the attacks of the Ninth Dark Demon Emperor while also containing the powerful anomaly was impossible.]
[In the end, Xuanwu roared, paid the price of its life, and reinforced the seal, continuing to suppress the anomaly. Although doing so only delayed the time when the Ninth Dark Demon Emperor and the anomaly would break the seal, Xuanwu had no other choice.]
[Ultimately, Xuanwu fell, and the Ninth Dark Demon Emperor was furious at Xuanwu's actions. He began to bombard the seal, but the seal was too powerful for even the Ninth Dark Demon Emperor to break quickly, so he had no choice but to take the seal away and disappear.]
[The emperors of the Purple Spirit Realm felt the fall of Xuanwu, and their faces turned pale. They wanted to check the situation, but they were restrained by the powerful beings of the Blood Demon Clan and dared not act rashly, filled with extreme anxiety.]
[Shortly afterward, a shocking battle erupted between the Purple Spirit Realm and the Blood Demon Clan. Although it did not escalate into a full-scale war, the emperors and kings did not intervene, but the people below started the war. This was a war and a way to train.]
[When two realms went to war, it was a crisis but also an opportunity. In the previous war, many young talents and powerful beings perished, but many of those who survived grew significantly stronger.]
[Most of the young talents who survived the war in the two realms achieved astonishing accomplishments, increasing the number of strong beings in the Purple Spirit Realm during the subsequent millennia of development. War was cruel and bloody, but it also accelerated the emergence of strong beings.]
[It was like nurturing a Gu worm, which could produce a Gu King.]
"Goodness, what is this 'time traveler senior' really planning? He actually attacked Xuanwu directly and wants to release the Sinful Emperor who has taken over the anomaly."
Wang Ping furrowed his brow and muttered to himself.
According to the simulated content, it seemed that the Ninth Dark Demon Emperor Chu Xiao, this 'time traveler senior,' did not have much involvement with the Blood Demon Clan, but he wasn't on the side of the Purple Spirit Realm either. He seemed to be plotting something terrifying, aiming to advance to higher levels using this opportunity.
"He wants to advance further, enter higher levels... Does that mean he has already reached the pinnacle of the Emperor Realm?"
Wang Ping narrowed his eyes.
If that were the case, this guy would be even more terrifying than he had imagined.
What kind of existence could reach such heights?
While Wang Ping was deep in thought, the simulated content continued.
[The war lasted for several decades, during which countless beings from the Purple Spirit Realm perished. This was a huge price to pay. The Blood Demon Clan also suffered significant losses.]
[In the end, the emperors of the Purple Spirit Realm and the Blood Demon Clan intervened and ended the war, leaving with their respective powerhouses. They did not capture anyone, as they knew the war had reached a critical point and should be stopped. It was time for the two realms to rest and recuperate.]
[With the emperors and kings' departure, the leaders and powerful beings of the two realms all heaved a sigh of relief. The war ended.]
[In this war, the leaders of the two realms gained a deeper understanding of the Blood Demon Clan's strength and made it a priority to strengthen their forces. As for the powerful beings, they all began to cultivate with greater determination, hoping to reach higher levels to protect their realms.]
[As for you, after the war, you continued to cultivate silently and perfect the domain you had comprehended. Your strength had reached an astonishing level, and you were even more low-key than before.]
[In the blink of an eye, a thousand years had passed since your return to the Purple Spirit Realm.]
"Wow, a thousand years... Time flies."
Wang Ping sighed softly.
Although it was only a simulated story, he couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia and a tinge of loneliness for the passage of time.
[During these thousand years, the Purple Spirit Realm has undergone tremendous changes. The new generation of powerhouses has emerged, and they are even more formidable. The various major sects have also become stronger, and many new forces have risen to prominence.]
[As for you, you have become an existence known as the 'Mysterious Emperor.' You are extremely low-key and rarely show yourself. When you do, you only use the power of a peak emperor and do not reveal your true strength.]
[Many have heard of your name, but very few have seen you in person. Some even believe that the Mysterious Emperor is an existence that has transcended the emperor realm and is on the path to becoming a king.]
[As for Ji Bingyue, she has also made great progress and is now one of the top powerhouses in the Purple Spirit Realm. She has become the sect master of the Celestial Snow Sect and is highly respected.]
[However, there is still a hint of melancholy in her eyes when she thinks of you, as she has not seen you for a long time.]
[The thousand years have brought about many changes, but one thing remains the same—your determination to find a way back to your original world. You have never given up on this goal.]
[During this time, you have gathered a wealth of resources and information, hoping to find a way back to your world. Your master, the Emperor of the Void Sky, has also helped you in this regard.]
[One day, while researching ancient texts, you came across a clue that piqued your interest. It was said that there existed a mysterious realm known as the 'Void Nexus,' which was said to connect multiple worlds and realms.]
[The Void Nexus was a place that transcended time and space, and it was said that those who entered it could travel between worlds. However, the Void Nexus was shrouded in mystery, and its existence was known to only a few.]
[You became obsessed with finding the Void Nexus and believed that it might hold the key to returning to your original world. You embarked on a journey to uncover the secrets of the Void Nexus, and your quest for answers led you to the edge of the Purple Spirit Realm, where you discovered a hidden gateway.]
[As you stepped through the gateway, you felt a surge of energy and a sense of displacement. When you opened your eyes, you found yourself in a completely different world—the world of your origin.]
"Finally... I'm back."
Wang Ping couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement as he watched the simulated story unfold. It was as if he could sense the emotions of the character he had become.
[In this world, everything was familiar yet different. It had been a thousand years since you had left, and the world had changed in your absence. You realized that you needed to adapt to this new world and find a way to reunite with your loved ones.]
[Your journey in your original world had just begun, and you knew that it would be filled with challenges and uncertainties. But you were determined to overcome them and find your place in this world.]
[And so, your new adventure began.]
The simulated story came to an end, and the screen went blank.
Wang Ping sat there for a moment, deep in thought. The simulated story had taken him on a journey through time and space, and it had left him with a sense of longing and anticipation. It was as if he had experienced a thousand years of history in just a few moments.
"So, this is the path that awaits me if I choose to stay in this world," Wang Ping mused. "A thousand years of cultivation, a thousand years of change... It's both daunting and exciting."
He knew that this was just a simulation, a possible future that might or might not come to pass. The real world was full of uncertainties, and he had his own choices to make.
Wang Ping leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes, pondering his options. The decision of whether to stay in this world or find a way back to his original world weighed heavily on his mind.
