"It's really difficult."
Wang Ping looked at Lin Qinghe and sighed.
He didn't originally want to use the Purple Talent - Fate Connection so soon.
But now it seemed that he had no choice.
However, connecting his fate with someone like Lin Qinghe, who practiced terrifying dark arts, wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
In the future, he might be able to obtain many cultivation resources with her help.
With this in mind, Wang Ping directly activated his talent and connected with Lin Qinghe.
However, when Wang Ping thought he had successfully connected with Lin Qinghe and started to threaten her skillfully, something that made his pupils contract happened.
Lin Qinghe was completely unaffected!
"You're not at the Divine Lord Realm?" Wang Ping asked in surprise.
The Purple Talent - Fate Connection could only be resisted by those at the Divine Lord Realm or higher, and Lin Qinghe was apparently immune to it, which was quite frightening.
"What did you just do?" Lin Qinghe didn't answer Wang Ping's question and instead furrowed her brows, asking in return.
She had felt a strange power connecting to her just now, and she couldn't even react to it properly, which was very strange. However, it didn't seem to have any effect on her.
"No, you're definitely not at the Divine Lord Realm. If you were, you wouldn't be targeting the origin power of some pseudo-Divine Lord Realm cultivators," Wang Ping said, pondering.
However, if she wasn't at the Divine Lord Realm, why did the talent fail? That was the question.
"Perhaps I can reach a conclusion through text simulation," Wang Ping thought to himself and chose to enter the text simulation mode.
[Seeing that you didn't answer her question, Lin Qinghe became somewhat annoyed and directly suppressed you, demanding to know what you did earlier. You didn't hide anything and chose to answer her.]
[Upon hearing this, Lin Qinghe was surprised. She didn't expect you to have such a terrifying secret technique. Fortunately, she had a dual-soul body, with another dormant "Lin Qinghe" inside her, and her previous life's cultivation had reached a terrifying level. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to deal with this secret technique.]
[Immediately, in order to prevent you from using any more terrifying secret techniques, Lin Qinghe chose to kill you and consume your origin power.]
[Due to your death, you triggered the Death Whisper talent, unleashing a terrifying blow. Even Lin Qinghe, caught off guard, suffered significant injuries.]
[Due to your death, this simulation ends.]
"So, it's a dual-soul body. But awakening the soul of a past life seems different from Ji Bingyan's situation," Wang Ping looked at the simulation content and finally understood the reason, furrowing his brows slightly.
"This Lin Qinghe is very dangerous. After ascending next time, I shouldn't enter the White Blaze Divine Sect again, or even join the three major forces. It's too risky. I should remain a lone cultivator or consider joining a truly powerful force."
Wang Ping contemplated silently.
When he was in the mortal world, he often faced pursuit and danger. He later joined the Heaven Sword Sect, where he was taken in as a disciple by the Heaven Sword Sect's Master and received protection. Things got better for him then.
If possible, Wang Ping would like to replicate his actions in the mortal world, try to join an upper realm force, or even become a son-in-law of a powerful clan.
However, it all depended on having the right talent. While joining was possible with his current abilities, being taken as a disciple by a true powerhouse would require qualifications.
"I need to refresh and acquire a powerful innate talent or physical constitution. Only when my talent catches up can I hope to join a major force or gain the protection or investment of a superpower."
Wang Ping rubbed his chin, hoping that the final simulation could provide a good talent.
Just then, Wang Ping's consciousness flickered, returning to reality, exiting the simulation mode.
"Ding, reward generation successful. Host can choose one of the following rewards:
1. Pseudo-Divine Lord Realm cultivation.
2. Random low-grade divine artifact.
3. Red Talent - Death Whisper.
4. Random imperial artifact.
5. Random share of divine source or divine ore."
"System, I choose option 3: Red Talent - Death Whisper."
After examining the reward list, Wang Ping quickly made his choice.
"System, I want to spend three imperial artifacts to conduct a paid simulation."
Then, Wang Ping spoke decisively in his mind.
"Ding, payment successful. Life Simulator starting. Talent refresh in progress."
The system's voice resounded.
"Ding, talent refresh successful. Congratulations, host, you have successfully refreshed the Golden Talent - Crimson Flame Sacred Body; Red Talent - Fire Profound Body."
Golden Talent - Crimson Flame Sacred Body: This physique is exceptionally powerful but requires an enormous amount of cultivation resources, making it difficult for sects to support. Moreover, this physique is cursed by an unknown existence and is difficult to achieve sainthood with.
Red Talent - Fire Profound Body:
"Damn!"
Wang Ping looked at the dazzling golden talent that he had refreshed for the first time, and he was truly surprised.
This was the first time he had refreshed a golden talent, and it was a physique he was familiar with – the Crimson Flame Sacred Body.
"Crimson Wind, possessing the Crimson Flame Sacred Body. But why is the Crimson Flame Sacred Body cursed? Could it be because of the Great Emperor Ancestor of the Crimson Clan?"
Wang Ping thought back to the description and furrowed his brows slightly.
"It's normal for a sacred body to require a vast amount of cultivation resources; otherwise, it wouldn't be so much stronger than others at the same level. As for being cursed and difficult to achieve sainthood, that's not a concern for now."
Wang Ping shook his head slightly.
In this era of the Dharma's decline, achieving sainthood was already difficult, so the difficulty of a sacred body achieving it was temporarily irrelevant. He should first take advantage of this physique to become stronger.
As for what would happen in the future, he would deal with it when the time came. He refused to engage in unnecessary mental conflicts and would start from where he was.
"System, I choose the Golden Talent - Crimson Flame Sacred Body."
Then, Wang Ping said in his mind.
"Ding, talent selection successful. Life simulator commencing."
The system's voice rang out again, and Wang Ping's consciousness followed, entering the immersive simulation mode.
"Next, System, fast forward for me."
Wang Ping decisively spoke in his mind.
"Ding, fast forwarding."
The system's voice rang out again, and the screen appeared, displaying familiar text.
[On the first day, you chose to cultivate. Due to the Crimson Flame Sacred Body, you found that your comprehension of the pseudo-law of fire was incredibly easy, making you feel extremely delighted.]
[At this moment, you finally experienced the feeling of cultivation being as natural as eating and drinking, just like when you had the Crimson Wind. It was incredibly enjoyable.]
[In the blink of an eye, ten years passed, and you successfully comprehended forty percent of the pseudo-law of fire. You were not far from fifty percent, and your comprehension speed was terrifyingly high.]
[However, during these ten
years of cultivation, you depleted all your low-grade divine sources and only managed to break through to the quasi-divine level. You couldn't help but feel helpless; despite the strength of the Crimson Flame Sacred Body, the consumption of cultivation resources was simply too terrifying.]
[Now, you were very sure that even if you plundered the cultivation resources from Mo Family's young master, you would still find it difficult to break through to the pseudo-divine level.]
[Of course, while you might have a low probability of achieving pseudo-divinity, your current combat power was much stronger than the you who had reached pseudo-divinity in your memories.]
[This was due to the perfect compatibility between the Flame-Consuming Emperor's Scripture and the Crimson Flame Sacred Body. When the two combined, they erupted with terrifying power.]
[Next, you continued to cultivate diligently in the mortal world, planning to wait for the young master of the Mo Family to descend and then seize their cultivation resources.]
[It was during your cultivation that you remembered the Forbidden Land of the Great Xia Empire on the back of the Black Tortoise. Initially, the Forbidden Land had given you a special feeling, and now that you had become stronger, you wanted to explore its secrets.]
[After some consideration, you decided to enter it. Upon entering, you realized that although this secret realm was located on the back of the Black Tortoise, the connected space was not the same, and the little world inside was astonishing.]
At the same time, you also sensed that there should be a powerful demonic cultivator sealed here. Thinking about it, you became intrigued.
When you became intrigued, the voice from your memories resurfaced, and the trial began once more. You readily accepted the trial and found that the trial's highest intensity was easily within your control.
Next, you found it troublesome, so you forcefully broke the seal and saw the being sealed inside. These so-called trials were all created by the being sealed here.
This sealed being was indeed a demonic cultivator, and a very powerful one at that. You had a vague sense that his cultivation had reached a level beyond the True God Realm, but after being sealed in the mortal world and then sealed again, he had become extremely weakened, probably at the level of an ordinary Virtual God Realm.
Seeing that you, a quasi-deity, had forcefully broken the seal and arrived here, the demonic cultivator was greatly astonished. He immediately tried to manipulate you into releasing him, promising to impart powerful inheritance to you.
You scoffed at his proposal. Seeing your disdain, the demonic cultivator grew annoyed but suppressed his anger. He once again tried to manipulate you, mentioning that he knew about the Demon Lord's inheritance in the mortal realm, and you might want to know its secrets.
Hearing about the Demon Lord's inheritance, you became interested and also inquired about why this demonic cultivator was sealed here.
You then began listening to the demonic cultivator's explanation of his past. He revealed that the Demon Lord's weapon had been sealed in the Purple Spirit Realm, which is why he chose to descend to the mortal realm. However, he was discovered by so-called righteous cultivators while in the mortal realm. Unable to kill him due to the restrictions on using excessive power in the mortal realm, they sealed him here.
You didn't care about the demonic cultivator's past and only focused on the Demon Lord's inheritance. The Demon Lord's inheritance was likely the legacy of the Black Abyss Demon Lord. If you obtained the Black Abyss Demon Lord's inheritance, it would be fantastic, and there might be unimaginable treasures waiting for you.
However, the current demonic cultivator didn't intend to continue his story and hoped that you would release his seal first. He promised to tell you more about the Demon Lord's inheritance.
Faced with the demonic cultivator's manipulation, you thought for a moment and chose to release his seal. Although you didn't believe he would reveal everything, with your current strength, you had no fear even if he attacked you after being released.
As expected, after the demonic cultivator's seal was released, he became arrogant and expressed confidence that he would spare your life if you submitted to him.
You found his confidence somewhat laughable. Seeing your lack of response, the demonic cultivator grew angry and decided to attack you directly.
The demonic cultivator was indeed confident. In the past, he had been a half-step Divine Sovereign expert. Despite his power being reduced to the level of an ordinary Virtual God Realm due to the seal, his understanding of the six-fold pseudo-law and his profound techniques remained terrifying. Even against experts of the Virtual God Realm Seventh Stage or higher, he could still put up a fight.
In this mortal realm, dealing with a quasi-deity, even if this quasi-deity was extremely unusual and possessed astonishing combat power, was impossible.
Faced with the demonic cultivator's confident attack, you remained calm and chose to counterattack. You didn't hold back at all and fully unleashed your Sacred Body, combining it with the Fire Profound Fist, which had reached forty percent of the pseudo-law of fire. The power you displayed shocked the demonic cultivator, causing him to vomit blood from the direct blow.
His scalp tingled as he didn't expect to encounter such a freak in the mortal realm. He attempted to escape, but you had no intention of letting him go. You directly used your Red Talent - Taunt on the demonic cultivator, affecting him to some extent.
You unleashed another terrifying attack, shattering the demonic cultivator's physical body and capturing his soul. The demonic cultivator was terrified to the extreme, begging you to spare him and offering to tell you everything he knew.
You looked at the pleading demonic cultivator with a subtle expression. Many cultivators in the mortal realm were ruthless, knowing they would self-destruct if they faced certain death, aiming to harm you even in death. However, this upper realm demonic cultivator seemed to lack backbone.
Nevertheless, you remained cautious, continuing to suppress him and denying him any chance to escape. Seeing that he couldn't deceive you, the demonic cultivator appeared somewhat helpless and finally wanted to make a deal with you, threatening to keep the secrets if you didn't agree.
You chuckled, displaying your dominance, and attempted to completely eliminate the demonic cultivator. To you, not knowing the secrets wasn't a big deal; you would have plenty of opportunities in the future. As long as you became powerful enough, you could forcibly extract information from him. The demonic cultivator's attempt to threaten you was futile.
The demonic cultivator, realizing his impending doom, had no choice but to accept his fate. Even in death, he refused to divulge any secrets.
You didn't care about this and completely incinerated his soul, ensuring his complete demise before proceeding to collect any loot from his body.
As a result, you obtained nothing, leaving you greatly disappointed. You suspected that his possessions had already been taken by the upper realm expert who initially sealed him. This situation was somewhat similar to Blood Demon Yuanfeng's sealing.
In the end, not taking any loot after defeating an enemy was quite strange.
"Turns out, the Great Xia Forbidden Land has such secrets. Perhaps he had the correct method to subdue demonic artifacts on him. Of course, this possibility is slim," you mumbled as you looked at the simulation content.
All in all, one shouldn't enter these forbidden lands casually. Otherwise, you might encounter sealed ancient beings, posing a significant danger. Thinking about it, when you were weak, you dared to enter one in reality just for a spiritual weapon; that was truly reckless.
You shook your head, feeling nostalgic, and continued to gaze at the screen.
Next, you left that place and resumed your cultivation. You also took in disciples, Ji Bingyue and Ji Xuer. In this life, you couldn't ascend by your own means, so you chose to follow the path from your memories.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of years passed. You successfully comprehended the seven-fold pseudo-law of fire, surpassing the demonic cultivator who was once a half-step Divine Sovereign in understanding.
In another thousand years, you gained a deeper understanding of the Flame Emperor's Scripture and had already comprehended the perfect seven-fold pseudo-law of fire. Unfortunately, this was the mortal realm, where comprehending pseudo-laws was exceptionally difficult. It was extraordinary that you could directly comprehend the perfect seven-fold pseudo-law of fire in around a thousand years. This was a testament to the terror of the Crimson Flame Sacred Body in aiding fire-based cultivation.
As for laws, even in the upper realm, it was the Era of Decline, and laws had reached the realm of divinity. Nowadays, with the changing rules of heaven and earth, understanding laws was challenging, and quick comprehension was near impossible. Moreover, there was the curse of the Sacred Body to consider. In the end, you abandoned your attempt to further
understand laws, deepening your comprehension of the Flame Emperor's Scripture. You also utilized the Divine Texts to create your own martial arts and techniques, paving the way for the future.
Although the martial arts and techniques you created now paled in comparison to the Flame Emperor's Scripture, it was necessary to draw from various saint-level techniques, divine abilities, and even Imperial Scriptures to create your own martial arts and techniques. It was an essential part of your training to become an emperor in the future.
For this reason, it was necessary to draw from various saint-level martial arts, divine abilities, and even the writings of the Great Emperor to create your own martial arts and techniques. More than a thousand years passed, and the development of the Purple Spirit Realm, while slightly different from your memories, didn't concern you. When the Blood Demon Realm invaded, you captured all the experts and used them to feed Lin Yuanyuan. Her energy levels far exceeded that of an ordinary quasi-deity. However, she had a powerful physical body, mana, and soul but lacked insights into cultivation, making it difficult for her to become a deity on her own.
Perhaps that was the downside of Lin Yuanyuan's golden finger. However, you believed that if her golden finger was optimized again, it might solve this issue. At that time, you could extract the understanding of the target's cultivation alongside their energy. When that time came, it would be truly terrifying.
"The Sacred Body is truly powerful. The perfect seven-fold pseudo-law of fire, that's something most Divine Sovereigns can't comprehend. Yet, here he is, in the mortal realm, taking only a thousand years to understand it. Truly horrifying," Wang Ping exclaimed as he watched the simulation content.
For ordinary cultivators:
- Understanding 1-3 pseudo-laws corresponds to the Virtual God Realm.
- Understanding 4-6 pseudo-laws corresponds to the True God Realm.
- Understanding 7 or more pseudo-laws corresponds to the Divine Sovereign Realm.
Divine Sovereigns had long lifespans and might take countless years to understand the perfect seven-fold pseudo-law.
But here, it only took a thousand years, and in the mortal realm, which was a difficult place for insights, to comprehend the perfect seven-fold pseudo-law. Comparatively, it demonstrated how powerful the Sacred Body's talent was.
"Unfortunately, the upper realm is in the Era of Decline. The changes in the rules of heaven and earth and the difficulty in comprehending laws make it tough to become a deity. Plus, there's the curse of the Sacred Body. It'll likely take a long time to break through to the perfect seven-fold pseudo-law," Wang Ping thought.
He continued to contemplate. While he did, the text on the screen kept unfolding.
Next, the young master of the Mo Family and his subordinates descended to the mortal realm. After they entered the Primordial Forbidden Land, you caught them. While concealing some information, you revealed your immense value, hoping to join the Mo Family and ascend to the upper realm.
The young master of the Mo Family was surprised to find such a genius in the mortal realm and took an interest in you. He proposed planting a slave mark on you, and in exchange, he would let you become his follower.
Frowning at this, you knew that resolving the situation peacefully was impossible. The young master of the Mo Family didn't trust you, and you couldn't use words to stop him from unsealing a portion of the seal.
"Since that's the case, you chose to take action. This time, you didn't choose to form a fate connection with them but instead relied on your own power to confront Mo Family's Young Master and his followers."
"The servants of Mo Family were easily subdued by you, and then you drained Lin Yuanyuan of her energy. Mo Family's Young Master, too, was effortlessly suppressed by you. He felt extremely humiliated by this. As an Upper Realm prodigy, he was subdued by you, a quasi-deity from the Lower Realm, without any chance to use his forbidden tools. It was truly disgraceful."
"It was at this moment that Mo Family's Young Master's Sacred Artifact autonomously awakened, attempting to suppress you. Sacred Artifacts were truly formidable. Although its autonomous awakening couldn't fully unleash its true power, it had no trouble suppressing you."
"However, you were well-prepared. You had Cai Yonglong use the power of the Golden Finger to fend off the Sacred Artifact's might and then directly sent it deep into the Primordial Forbidden Land."
"As the Sacred Artifact, empowered by the bursting sacred aura, collided with the seal deep within the Primordial Forbidden Land, it infuriated the demonic artifact sealed there. The demonic artifact raged and suppressed the Sacred Artifact's power."
"As for you, you handed over Mo Family's Young Master to Lin Yuanyuan for energy extraction. Consequently, Mo Family's Young Master met a tragic end while Lin Yuanyuan became even stronger."
"With both of them gone, all their belongings became yours. You looked at the valuable items on Mo Family's Young Master and felt highly satisfied."
"Next, you attempted to find a way back to the Upper Realm among these items. Eventually, you found an Ascension Talisman, which filled you with joy."
"However, you couldn't help but ponder a question: where did this Ascension Talisman lead to? You had strong suspicions that using this talisman to ascend to the Upper Realm might lead you directly to Mo Family's stronghold, where numerous Mo Family experts might be waiting."
"Using this talisman to return to the Upper Realm would greatly increase your chances of dying. In the end, you sighed and abandoned the idea of ascending to the Upper Realm with the talisman. Instead, you decided to wait for Ji Bingyan to return to Ji Family and then guide you to the Upper Realm."
"But you also began to contemplate another issue. That is, if Mo Family's Young Master didn't return to the Upper Realm, would Mo Family send more people to the Lower Realm? This was a problem. If they did send more people, your situation would become very precarious."
"Although your current combat power is formidable, you're still only at the quasi-deity level. If Mo Family dispatched some ancient experts to the Lower Realm, even if these experts had to suppress their cultivation, they wouldn't be easy to deal with."
"Furthermore, some of these ancient experts might join forces once they arrived in the Lower Realm, and it was likely they could still use their true power. Although the Lower Realm required sealing one's cultivation, it didn't mean that some genuine ancient experts couldn't break the seal."
"If they were to break the seal, you would definitely be easily defeated."
"Faced with this problem, you began to think about your retreat. Continuing to stay in the Purple Spirit Realm clearly wouldn't work; you needed to relocate."
"Shortly after, you thought of the Blood Demon Realm. If you went to the Blood Demon Realm and then destroyed the Purple Spirit Realm, you could perfectly cover your tracks. When the Mo Family people arrived in the Lower Realm, they wouldn't suspect that you had killed Mo Family's Young Master and Lin Yuanyuan."
"Since you had a plan, you began to set it in motion. You commanded various major sects and powerful forces to organize the relocation of as many living beings as possible from the Purple Spirit Realm to the Blood Demon Realm."
"Although these major sects couldn't understand why you claimed there would be a great extinction in the future, and the Purple Spirit Realm would be destroyed, they had to follow your orders due to your immense strength and began organizing the relocation."
"One year later, most of the living beings had been forcibly relocated from the Purple Spirit Realm by you, leaving only a small number who were unwilling to leave. You didn't say much about this and began your operation."
"You activated the terrifying power of your forbidden tools and directly destroyed the Purple Spirit Realm. Then, you returned to the Blood Demon Realm and completely sealed off the passage between the two realms."
"In the blink of an eye, twenty years had passed. Several decades had gone by, and you still hadn't received any guidance from Ji Bingyan. On the other hand, the Mo Family in the Upper Realm couldn't sit still. Mo Family's Young Master and his followers had been in the Lower Realm for so long, and it was likely something had gone wrong."
"As a result, Mo Family once again sent dozens of experts to the Lower Realm. These seven experts were the weakest, being at the peak of the Virtual God Realm, while the most powerful among them had reached the level of a half-step Divine Sovereign."
"When they arrived in the Lower Realm, they were shocked by the destruction of the Purple Spirit Realm and grew anxious."
"Because the destruction of the Purple Spirit Realm indicated a major catastrophe had occurred, and Mo Family's Young Master was likely dead. Mo Family's Young Master carried a Sacred Artifact with him, and if it was lost, the consequences would be dire."
"Quickly, they found something unusual. Although the Purple Spirit Realm had been destroyed, the entrance to the Primordial Forbidden Land remained intact. After discovering this entrance, they entered it."
"With their powerful cultivation, they ventured deep into the forbidden land. The Sacred Artifact within the Primordial Forbidden Land sensed the arrival of Mo Family's people and initiated contact with them, returning to the half-step Divine Sovereign-level expert from Mo Family."
"Shortly after, they learned the whole story, including the fact that you had killed Mo Family's Young Master. They were furious and wanted to annihilate you."
"However, since you had already destroyed the Purple Spirit Realm, they couldn't locate your whereabouts. They could only guess that you had ascended to the Upper Realm and planned to search for you there."
"These Mo Family people are indeed troublesome. They can't handle Sacred Artifacts properly, leaving potential threats behind. However, it's fortunate they haven't noticed the existence of the Blood Demon Realm. It seems that Mo Family's Young Master's Sacred Artifact spirit remained in a dormant state throughout his time in the Purple Spirit Realm, so he was unaware of the situation in the Blood Demon Realm."
"Wang Ping watched the simulation content, furrowing his brows slightly, and continued to gaze at the screen."
"In the blink of an eye, hundreds of years had passed. During these centuries, you had been diligently cultivating and seeking enlightenment. However, it was regrettable that achieving enlightenment in the Lower Realm was exceedingly difficult. While you did make some progress, there was no breakthrough."
"Now, after hundreds of years had gone by, you were quite certain that Mo Family hadn't anticipated that you would come to the Blood Demon Realm. You breathed a sigh of relief."
"However, what troubled you was that neither Ji Bingyan nor Chifeng had shown any intention of guiding you back. You couldn't ascertain whether it was because of the destruction of the Purple Spirit Realm or if
something had happened to them. Chifeng's disappearance suggested that the likelihood of him being guided back to the Upper Realm was minimal, possibly due to a catastrophic outbreak that led to their deaths."
"As for Ji Bingyan, you couldn't fathom her situation. It could be that she had returned to the Ji Family but lacked the status to secure an ascension opportunity for herself or had also met an unfortunate end."
"Of course, you didn't give up on the idea of ascending. Since Ji Bingyan and Chifeng most likely encountered difficulties, you continued to nurture Virtual God Realm experts. You believed that eventually, one of them would be able to guide you to the Upper Realm."
"Over the years, you had been nurturing Ye Chen. With your unwavering support and resource allocation, Ye Chen was about to break through to the Virtual God Realm."
"You only needed to wait for Ye Chen to reach the Upper Realm and grow for some time; then, he should have the ability to guide you back."
"In the blink of an eye, several more decades had passed, and Ye Chen successfully broke through to the Virtual God Realm. He ascended to the Upper Realm, and before leaving, he assured you that he would guide you back."
"You were deeply grateful for his promise. However, you couldn't entirely rely on Ye Chen's plan. As the saying goes, 'if you want something done, do it yourself.' If Ye Chen also encountered difficulties or failed to grow, you might end up dying in the Lower Realm."
"For this reason, you chose to forcefully follow Ye Chen's ascension path."
"In the past, you might not have been able to do this, but now, with your formidable strength, you had some confidence."
"Faced with your bold behavior, Ye Chen was dumbfounded. In the end, you forcefully squeezed into the ascension path, braving the terrifying spatial turbulence and rule suppression, intending to ascend to the Upper Realm together with Ye Chen."
"However, defying the rules was clearly not that easy. When you were halfway through your successful ascension, the spatial turbulence became extremely terrifying. Even though you possessed the Crimson Flame Saint Body and had cultivated the Emperor's Fiery Scripture to a profound level, you struggled to endure it."
"Yet, even in such circumstances, you didn't give up. You continued to forcefully ascend. In the end, you perished during the ascension process, entering a state of resurrection countdown."
"Ye Chen looked at your lifeless body, filled with sorrow, thinking you were being too stubborn. He decided to carry your body along and complete the ascension, planning to find a place to bury you in the Upper Realm. Due to your transformation into a corpse, the ascension path no longer rejected you, and Ye Chen successfully brought you to the Upper Realm."
"Ah, the normal ascension method didn't work, and we ended up with this situation of ascending as a corpse. It's quite a bizarre turn of events," Ye Chen remarked with a mixture of laughter and tears.
"Wang Ping watched this simulated content with a complex expression, unable to help but rub his temples. The scenario was simply too outrageous."
"However, it remains unknown whether the ascension point in the Blood Demon Realm is the same as in the Purple Spirit Realm. If it's the same, it could pose some problems, and we might need to make adjustments."
"By the way, why didn't your death trigger the Death Language effect? If it had, Ye Chen would have died too. It seems this talent only affects enemies and doesn't harm allies," Wang Ping pondered, thinking about the effect of the Red Talent - Death Language.
"Shortly after, you successfully arrived in the Upper Realm. Once there, Ye Chen realized that he was being closely watched by representatives of several major powers. They were from the Green Yuan Divine Sect, the Northern Snow Divine Dynasty, and even some from the Mo Family."
"As for the White Flame Divine Sect, they were nowhere to be seen. The White Flame Divine Sect had been wiped out by the combined forces of the other two major powers a thousand years ago."
"However, because you had turned into a broken corpse and were stored in Ye Chen's storage ring, neither side detected your presence."
"In the end, after thinking it through, Ye Chen chose to join the Green Yuan Divine Sect. The Northern Snow Divine Dynasty members frowned but did not interfere."
"While Ye Chen was being taken to the Green Yuan Divine Sect by a Virtual God Realm expert from their side, your resurrection countdown finally came to an end. You successfully revived, broke free from the storage space, and appeared in the outside world."
"With your revival, the Virtual God Realm expert from the Green Yuan Divine Sect was startled. As for Ye Chen, he was equally surprised that you had managed to resurrect, especially in such a peculiar manner."
"However, Ye Chen was delighted by your return since he respected you deeply. He didn't want you to truly perish. As for the Virtual God Realm expert from the Green Yuan Divine Sect, he was bewildered because he didn't know how you had appeared, nor did he have any information about your background."
"Moreover, it was strange that a quasi-deity like you could instill such a strong sense of danger in a Virtual God Realm expert. It was truly perplexing."
"You gazed at the Virtual God Realm expert from the Green Yuan Divine Sect, furrowing your brows slightly. Without hesitation, you unleashed a terrifying attack against him. Due to the sudden assault, the Virtual God Realm expert from the Green Yuan Divine Sect was instantly obliterated, meeting his demise."
"Ye Chen was extremely bewildered. He couldn't fathom why you had attacked the Virtual God Realm expert from the Green Yuan Divine Sect, as it seemed like you were deliberately making enemies with a major power, which didn't seem advantageous."
"However, you couldn't provide an explanation for your actions. After all, this Virtual God Realm expert from the Green Yuan Divine Sect had discovered your existence. If he had survived, news of your arrival in the Upper Realm would have leaked out."
"In that case, once the Mo Family realized you were in the Upper Realm, you would face relentless pursuit. You had no effective means to deal with the Mo Family if they decided to hunt you down."
"Even though you didn't want to harm innocent people, you had to act for the sake of your own safety. In truth, your actions were justified."
"In fact, it turned out to be the right decision. The Mo Family had already placed a hefty bounty on you in the Taiyuan Ancient Star. The Virtual God Realm expert from the Green Yuan Divine Sect, who had just been startled, didn't recognize you. If you hadn't acted, he would have eventually identified you as the person the Mo Family had put a bounty on. Once your identity was exposed, you would have been in grave danger."
"Following that, you finished what you started and concealed all traces before swiftly leaving the scene."
"Not long after that, some members of the Green Yuan Divine Sect arrived at the location, furious and determined to find Ye Chen. They wanted to extract his blood and soul after the Virtual God Realm expert from their sect had died."
"You had no idea that Ye Chen had unwittingly shouldered the blame for your actions. At this moment, you were contemplating how to acquire more divine sources to break through to the Virtual God Realm."
"Although you had obtained a considerable amount of divine sources from the previous Virtual God Realm expert, it was still far from enough. To break through to the Virtual God Realm, you estimated that you would need thousands of kilograms of low-grade divine sources."
"Practicing the Emperor's Fiery Scripture, combined with your Crimson Flame Saint Body, had turned you into a devouring beast. Ordinary sects might be able to supply your cultivation to the Virtual God Realm, but sustaining it afterward would be extremely challenging."
"Not to mention sects, even top-tier factions would likely struggle to support the formidable consumption of your God Sovereign Realm. Nevertheless, despite these considerations, you still hadn't given up on the idea of joining a major power."
"Only by affiliating with a major power could you have a reliable backing and avoid attracting the attention of some ancient beings. You could also engage in fair competitions with peers and grow more securely."
"After some deliberation, you decided to join a force in the central region of the Taiyuan Ancient Star called the Daoist Sect. According to rumors, the Daoist Sect was once the birthplace of a Great Emperor, but over the millennia, it had fallen into obscurity."
"Nevertheless, even in its current state, the Daoist Sect commanded respect due to its history and the presence of powerful Daoist Emperor Weapons. Ordinary forces dared not provoke the Daoist Sect."
"In other words, if you could become a member of the Daoist Sect, not only would you gain access to the Great Emperor's scriptures for further cultivation, but you would also enjoy their protection. Any ancient beings thinking of targeting you would need to think twice. Even regular forces wouldn't dare to trouble you easily."
"Thus, you made the decision to join the Daoist Sect, hoping to establish a stable foundation for your growth in the Upper Realm."
"With that, you wrapped up your thoughts and contemplated your next steps."
