An hour later, you revived and found that the two quasi-emperors and the natural saint had disappeared without a trace. The residual energy here was extremely terrifying, and you almost died again upon revival.
However, you had the thought of using the Golden Talent - Teleportation when you revived. As a result, you successfully used teleportation to escape from this deadly place.
"Well, this turned out to be quite a twist. I actually survived, quite unexpected," you remarked with surprise as you saw the simulated content.
Wang Ping raised an eyebrow when he saw this simulated content, quite astonished. He had thought that Simulated Wang Ping was doomed based on the previous simulations but now realized that he had survived.
It seemed that he needed to be more patient and wait until Simulated Wang Ping actually died for the simulation to naturally end. Otherwise, prematurely assuming a dire situation and ending the simulation might waste valuable simulation attempts.
After your teleportation, you arrived in a place filled with beautiful scenery. To your amazement, you found that you had teleported to a location with a sacred herb.
This sacred herb was not just any ordinary one; it was an invaluable Enlightenment Sacred Herb. It possessed its own spatial rules and could help people gain insights, entering a wonderful state of cultivation. It was incredibly precious, a dream-come-true for many cultivators.
You were genuinely surprised by your stroke of luck, having teleported directly to a sacred herb. This was truly a case of narrowly escaping death, which promised great future fortune.
Without hesitation, you decided to harvest this sacred herb. However, the herb had its own sentience and tried to escape. You wouldn't allow it to get away, so you used spatial divine power to seal it and then harvested it.
After harvesting it, you stored it away and planned to consume it after healing your injuries, using it to further your cultivation.
"Well, this is another unexpected turn. It seems like my luck is getting better and better. I wonder if I've become someone with extraordinary luck, or if I somehow drew a luck-based Golden Talent," you mused as you looked at the simulated content.
After three years, you successfully healed the injuries caused by the residual energy upon your revival and started consuming the sacred herb for cultivation.
In the blink of an eye, three years had passed. During these three years, you entered a wondrous state of enlightenment. Eventually, you managed to comprehend fifty percent of the space laws.
Another three years passed, and with the remnants of the sacred herb's influence, you successfully comprehended sixty percent of the space laws. At this point, your mastery of the laws had surpassed the majority of Saint Kings. After all, seventy percent marked the realm of Grand Saints, and sixty percent was already considered top-notch for Saint Kings who hadn't reached that level.
Satisfied with your progress, you considered leaving this place. Since it was exceptionally safe, you had only set up a large formation for healing and cultivation, without paying much attention to your location or the ancient star you were on.
Now that your strength had greatly improved, it was time to continue searching for exceptional talents to be your disciples.
You proceeded to leave this place cautiously. However, as soon as you stepped out of the idyllic area, the scenery abruptly changed, transforming into a graveyard filled with thick gloom, with malevolent entities emerging to attack you.
Even though such a level of gloom and malevolent beings posed no real threat to you, the sudden environmental shift heightened your vigilance. You considered retreating to the safe area or even using the cooldown-refreshed Golden Talent - Teleportation to escape.
However, you ultimately suppressed these thoughts. You couldn't stay in the safe area forever, and the teleportation talent was primarily a lifeline. Moreover, you couldn't predict where you would end up with teleportation.
Instead, you intended to rely on your own strength to navigate through this strange place. You cautiously sensed fluctuations in space, attempting to move away directly.
To your surprise, you found that you couldn't tear apart the space here. This was unexpected, as you were a Saint King at the peak of the sixth level, and your mastery of sixty percent of the space laws should have allowed you to overcome most obstacles.
This strange place was starting to concern you more. You decided to stay vigilant and prepared to use the Golden Talent - Teleportation to escape if necessary.
You spent a day walking through this eerie graveyard, but you still couldn't find a way out. Your sense of danger grew stronger with each passing moment.
An hour later, you came across a hair-raising sight. You saw a blood-yellow river with countless dried bones floating in it. These bones still retained powerful laws and even traces of Dao, giving off a formidable aura.
However, even experts of such caliber had all turned into these dried bones in the river, which was undeniably bizarre.
Just as you felt fear creeping in, you decided to use your Golden Talent - Teleportation to escape. To your horror, you discovered that you couldn't use it at all.
Your face turned pale with shock. You hadn't expected this place to be even more dangerous than you had imagined. Desperate to retreat, you attempted to return the way you came, avoiding the dangerous and peculiar river.
But then, your mind suddenly became blank, and your eyes lost their focus. A voice seduced you, luring you to step into the river. Helplessly, you walked toward the river.
As you entered the water, your physical body instantly decayed and dissipated. By the time your entire body submerged in the river, you had become one of the dried bones within it, completely unnoticed. In this manner, you met your end without anyone realizing.
The text simulation stopped here, and Wang Ping's mind was filled with various images and insights. Finally, his consciousness flickered, his vision changed, and he appeared above the eerie blood-yellow river.
"What is this river? It's terrifying," Wang Ping remarked as he looked at the blood-yellow river with a palpable sense of unease.
Even though he was now viewing from a god-like perspective, he still felt a strong sense of trepidation.
"If I accidentally end up in this eerie place in the future, I must never venture deep or come across this eerie river. Even as a supreme existence, there's a chance I could meet a gruesome end," Wang Ping warned himself.
While crises often came with opportunities, some opportunities were better left untouched.
Of course, if he could use the simulations to uncover the secrets of this place and the tremendous opportunities it held, that would be a different story. Wang Ping relied on these simulations to seize every opportunity.
Afterward, Wang Ping felt his consciousness flicker once more, and his perspective shifted back to the real world.
Soon, the system's voice rang out. "Ding, reward generation successful. Host can choose two rewards from the following options:
1. Saint King at the peak of the sixth level cultivation.
2. Personal weapon - Illusionary Void Sword (Saint King-tier).
3. Rainbow Talent - Becoming stronger by accepting disciples.
4. Purple Talent - Enhanced version of Reflective Armor.
5. Random Sacred Herb."
"System, I choose option 1: Saint King at the peak of the sixth level cultivation, and option 3: Rainbow Talent - Becoming stronger by accepting disciples," Wang Ping decided after carefully considering the rewards.
After all, even though the rainbow-colored talent "Get Stronger by Accepting Disciples" is powerful, it does have some flaws.
The main drawback is that whether you accept disciples in reality or in simulations, you cannot gain cultivation through accepting the same disciple again.
In other words, he could only choose the cultivation reward, effectively locking himself into that choice.
In this case, he would have to work hard to earn resources in the future. It was a bittersweet reality. Whether he had the rainbow-colored talent "Get Stronger by Accepting Disciples" or not, he still had to work hard to "earn money."
With Wang Ping receiving his rewards, his mind was filled with information about the rainbow-colored talent "Get Stronger by Accepting Disciples," and his cultivation also skyrocketed.
Half-step Saint King!
Saint King First Realm!
Saint King Fourth Realm!
Saint King Fifth Realm!
Until he finally reached the peak of the Saint King Sixth Realm!
At this moment, Wang Ping felt the power coursing through his body and nodded in satisfaction. He was now much stronger than before. His cultivation had soared, and his comprehension of the laws had kept pace.
With his current abilities, if he didn't use his talents and relied solely on his incomplete Space Dao Body and Emperor's Scripture Divine Art in battle, there were very few opponents within the Saint King realm who could stand against him.
Of course, if he were to face individuals with equally powerful physiques or bloodlines from imperial-level factions, it would be a different story. Such opponents would be difficult to defeat.
However, such individuals were rare, mostly appearing in the Land of Eternal Bliss, and often during its golden age. They were known as Imperial Child-level figures.
"System, how much resources do I need for the next paid simulation?" Wang Ping asked in his mind after calming down.
"Ding, the host's cultivation has reached the peak of Saint King Sixth Realm. The resource consumption for the next paid simulation is 50,000 pounds of high-quality divine source," the system's voice replied.
The amount took Wang Ping aback. "50,000 pounds of high-quality divine source? Are you kidding me?"
Wang Ping's face twitched slightly. Although he had been prepared, the amount was still too much. He was quite poor, after all.
Even though the resources he possessed would make most other Saint Kings envious, he was still far from the required amount for this simulation. When he visited Yu Zhengtao's world earlier, he had only managed to accumulate 1,500 pounds of high-quality divine source, and after Xuyi's multiplication, he had only possessed 3,000 pounds.
Now, a single simulation required 50,000 pounds of high-quality divine source, which was simply overwhelming for him.
"There's no way around it. I'll have to find a way to earn high-quality divine source. I wonder if there's a place with a large amount of it. Purple Talent, Money Flows Freely, you should give me a hand and create a super-large high-quality divine source mine. It would be best if there were no powerful forces nearby; otherwise, I won't be able to swallow it."
Wang Ping rubbed his chin as he contemplated his options. If Purple Talent, Money Flows Freely, had its own consciousness, it would probably be speechless. After all, it was just a purple talent; it couldn't perform miracles.
"By the way, I wonder if accepting disciples from other group members can give me cultivation rewards," Wang Ping suddenly thought of this and brightened up.
If he could gain cultivation rewards by accepting disciples from the chat group members, it would be great. His cultivation could continue to improve.
Immediately, Wang Ping opened the chat group and started a private chat with Cai Yonglong to give it a try.
Wang Ping (66): "Old Cai, would you like to become my disciple? Remember to be sincere."
Cai Yonglong (1): "Um, Wang Ge, what kind of game are you playing? o((âīšâ))o"
Wang Ping (66): "Don't ask too many questions, just do it."
Cai Yonglong (1): "Um, I'll give it a try, Wang Ge, I want to become your disciple!"
Wang Ping (66): "."
Cai Yonglong (1): "."
Wang Ping felt a bit troubled. Why did it feel so informal? It was a bit awkward.
More importantly, his cultivation hadn't changed at all. What was going on?
Was it because Cai Yonglong didn't genuinely accept him as his master, or was it because the chat group members weren't within the scope of the rainbow-colored talent "Get Stronger by Accepting Disciples"? Or perhaps Cai Yonglong didn't meet the requirements?
Well, without the chat group, Cai Yonglong's talent was, at most, in the King Realm, which was rather weak. Did they even have great luck, considering how many times they had died and reincarnated?
Cai Yonglong (1): "Master, is it okay now?"
Wang Ping (66): "Never mind, you're not my disciple. Just call me Wang Ge."
Wang Ping sighed.
Next, Wang Ping tried with other group members and found that neither Lin Yuanyuan nor Chen Yao worked. He was completely puzzled.
"Alpha, are group members special and not included in the abilities of the rainbow-colored talent?" Wang Ping asked in his heart, seeking answers from Alpha.
Alpha: ". I don't know what's going on with the talents you're refreshing; after all, I'm not an all-knowing, all-powerful being."
"Of course, if you were an all-knowing, all-powerful being, you wouldn't have ended up like this today," Wang Ping said with a hint of disappointment, rolling his eyes and venting his frustration.
Alpha: "."
Wang Ping seemed to be getting more and more nonchalant, frequently venting his frustration on Alpha.
"Speaking of which, Ye Xiaofan and Qin Tian should have good aptitudes, one with a Saint Body and the other with a Golden Immortal Dao Fruit. Perhaps they can activate my rainbow-colored talent."
After some thought, Wang Ping started private chats with Qin Tian and Ye Xiaofan.
Then, he realized that their cultivation had remained unchanged.
"Their talents should be sufficient, so it seems there are other reasons. It seems that the path of accepting disciples from group members is temporarily closed. I'll have to continue down the old path and hope that in the future, I can spread my teachings to the Multiverse, where anyone who follows my path will become my disciple."
Wang Ping shook his head, deep in thought.
Of course, he didn't know the upper limit of the rainbow-colored talent "Get Stronger by Accepting Disciples." After all, the golden talent corresponded to the Saint Realm, and the rainbow-colored talent corresponded to the Three Realms of Attainment, so there must be limits to it as well.
"However, the rainbow-colored talent is only the current limit of the Life Simulation Device. If I optimize it again, I can definitely refresh even higher-level talents. Unfortunately, the Rule Stones are only found in the Paradise. That place is too chaotic. It would be safer to go there when I've reached my current limit."
Wang Ping sighed softly and, after thinking through these matters, calmed himself down.
In the real world, stability was paramount, and he couldn't afford to be reckless.
"Next, I'll conduct a free simulation to see where I can obtain enough high-quality divine source. Oh, and this time, I can't randomly accept disciples during the simulation. If I accidentally improve my cultivation by accepting disciples, but can't receive the rewards in the real world, then I'll be at a loss."
Wang Ping warned himself to stay alert.
He had a plan for how to obtain a large amount of divine source. After all, from his previous simulations, he already knew the location of the Black Abyss Demon Ancestor's legacy. As long as he didn't lose the supreme weapon, the Black Abyss Devil Spear, on the way there, he had a good chance of obtaining the Black Abyss Demon Ancestor's legacy.
The legacy of a top-tier supreme expert like the Black Abyss Demon Ancestor would undoubtedly contain a large amount of divine source. Furthermore, divine source was probably just the most basic thing; there were likely other valuable items as well.
"System, I want to proceed with a free simulation."
With these thoughts in mind, Wang Ping said in his heart, wanting to understand the potential dangers he might encounter when he went to the location of the Black Abyss Demon Ancestor's legacy.
"Ding, Life Simulation Device activated. Free simulation starting."
The system's voice rang out, and Wang Ping felt his consciousness blur as he entered the immersive simulation state.
Then, text appeared on the screen.
[Day One, you chose to take action and left the Primordial Star, heading to the outer domain. However, something unexpected happened.]
[When you left the Primordial Star, the terrifying Supreme Expert sensed you. After all, it hadn't been long since you killed a Saint, and he hadn't completely closed up yet. Therefore, he was able to detect your presence as you left the Primordial Star.]
[Upon discovering you, he showed a look of astonishment. Your cultivation had reached the peak of the Saint King Sixth Realm in such a short period. Even though he was a Supreme Expert, he was still shocked by your rapid progress.]
[Then, he became curious about you, feeling that you must possess a great secret, and decided to capture you alive to search your soul.]
[In an instant, the aura of the terrifying Supreme Expert burst forth and pressed down on you. Faced with this situation, your expression changed dramatically, as you hadn't expected that the Primordial Star Supreme Expert, Yuan Lei, would suddenly make a move against you.]
[However, you acted quickly, realizing that you couldn't contend with him. Without hesitation, you chose to use the Golden Talent "Teleport" to leave the area. After you used the teleportation ability, Yuan Lei, the Supreme Expert, was greatly astonished.]
[At the same time, you were transported to an unknown location. Fortunately, this time, you weren't sent to the Little Universe, but you were still in the vast cosmic space of the Great Universe.]
[Moreover, you were pleasantly surprised to find that the location of this teleportation had saved you a lot of travel time. You had arrived directly in the vicinity of the ancient star where the Black Abyss Demon Ancestor's legacy was located.]
[Seeing this, you were extremely excited. After spending a year on the journey, you arrived at the ancient star where the legacy was located, and then you took out the Black Abyss Devil Spear. When the Black Abyss Devil Spear appeared, ripples spread out in this space, and the entrance to the secret realm appeared before your eyes.]
[This time, there were no particularly large fluctuations to attract the attention of the cultivators on this ancient star. It was simply the opening of an entrance that pulled you in.]
"Then, you saw the scene inside the secret realm. The spatial dimensions of the secret realm weren't vast, which surprised you. After all, even Emperor Realm experts in the mortal realm could create a larger pocket dimension, let alone a Supreme Being. If a Supreme Being wished, they could easily create a pocket dimension the size of an ancient star with a wave of their hand."
"While you were still astonished, a figure appeared before you, and to your surprise, it was the residual consciousness of the Black Abyss Demon Ancestor."
"With the appearance of this residual consciousness, the Black Abyss Devil Spear flew towards it and fell into the hands of the residual consciousness."
"Seeing this, you quickly paid your respects as a junior. The residual consciousness of the Black Abyss Demon Ancestor held the Black Abyss Devil Spear, sighed deeply, and appeared to have complex emotions."
"Then, he looked at you, indicating that you could obtain the Black Abyss Devil Spear from the seal set by Qingzhu. He remarked that the means used by Qingzhu were extraordinary, and there were many secrets within you."
"Hearing the words of the Black Abyss Demon Ancestor, you felt a chill run down your spine, realizing that the residual consciousness of the Black Abyss Demon Ancestor had already learned a lot through the Black Abyss Devil Spear. For a moment, you were worried that the Black Abyss Demon Ancestor might attempt to possess you, as such incidents had happened before."
"Seeing your vigilance, the residual consciousness of the Black Abyss Demon Ancestor shook its head and smiled, saying that if he still had some lingering soul, he might consider possessing you. However, now he was just a remnant consciousness and would soon disappear, with no ability to possess anyone."
"Upon hearing this, you felt somewhat relieved but didn't let your guard down, preparing to resist and escape at any moment."
"Sensing your disbelief, the residual consciousness of the Black Abyss Demon Ancestor didn't say much and directly handed you a world ring, indicating that it contained what you desired."
"Your eyes lit up as you accepted the ring and examined its contents. You couldn't help but show a pleasantly surprised expression because there were so many valuable items inside. Various divine and demonic artifacts, pills, elixirs, ores, and secret techniques were all present."
"What's more, the divine source, which was your primary concern, exceeded your imagination. Inside the Black Abyss Demon Ancestor's world ring, there were no lower-grade divine sources, only medium-grade and above. The highest quantity was the upper-grade divine source and supreme-grade divine source."
"There were as many as twenty million pounds of upper-grade divine source and a staggering fifty thousand pounds of supreme-grade divine source. This quantity left you speechless and feeling like you'd just struck it rich."
"Damn!"
Wang Ping, reading the simulated text, was completely stunned.
Although he had known that the Black Abyss Demon Ancestor, as a top-tier Supreme Being, must have had a substantial wealth, this was beyond extravagant.
Twenty million pounds of upper-grade divine source and fifty thousand pounds of supreme-grade divine source? This was enough for him to conduct simulations countless times. Even if he raised his cultivation a bit more, he could handle this level of consumption.
If he were lucky and gave Xu Yi another boost, that divine source would be enough for him to simulate until he reached the Supreme level.
"However, that's just wishful thinking. Xu Yi's Golden Finger is similar to my Red Talent, the Unstable Evolver. The higher the grade, the more difficult it is to trigger, and the lower the trigger rate. Although his Golden Finger has been optimized once, it's still unlikely to trigger the multiplier easily."
Wang Ping thought to himself, regaining his composure.
"After all, upper-grade divine source can only be used by those at the Saint Realm level, and supreme-grade divine source is likely reserved for those at the Three Realms of Attainment. Unless Xu Yi's Golden Finger is optimized again, the probability of triggering a multiplier and getting a high multiplier rate is too low."
"Unfortunately, optimizing it again requires one hundred million group points. I can't bear to spend so many group points on optimizing it for him unless I'm really short of resources in the future. Otherwise, this behavior is a waste of group points."
Wang Ping muttered to himself.
These Supreme Beings were all so wealthy that if he ever ran out of resources for simulations in the future, he could just rob some hostile Supreme Beings or factions. The future was uncertain, and it wasn't time for Wang Ping to optimize Xu Yi's Golden Finger yet.
Next, Wang Ping composed himself and continued to stare at the screen.
"After counting your gains, you thanked the residual consciousness of the Black Abyss Demon Ancestor once again, promising to do your best to eliminate Qingzhu Emperor in the future and seek revenge for the Black Abyss Demon Ancestor."
"In response, the Black Abyss Demon Ancestor waved his hand, indicating that you didn't need to put on an act in front of him, as your intentions were clear to him."
"Hearing this, you felt somewhat embarrassed and didn't say much. Then, the residual consciousness of the Black Abyss Demon Ancestor made you leave, not wanting to be disturbed during his slumber. Seeing this, you didn't say much either. You bowed to the Black Abyss Demon Ancestor and prepared to leave with the Black Abyss Devil Spear."
"In response, the Black Abyss Demon Ancestor expressed that you relied too much on the Black Abyss Devil Spear, which was detrimental to your growth. He suggested leaving it behind."
"Hearing these words, you smiled wryly, realizing that the Black Abyss Devil Spear was ultimately the obsession of the Black Abyss Demon Ancestor, and he wanted it to remain in his resting place."
"For this reason, you didn't say much, nodded, and chose to leave. For you now, the Black Abyss Devil Spear's role was no longer significant. As long as you advanced further, reached the level of a Semi-Saint, and further improved your comprehension of the laws, you would have the confidence to contend with a Great Saint on your own."
"In addition, you continued to nurture your own sacred weapon, and it was on the verge of evolving into a Great Saint Weapon. The power your own sacred weapon could unleash was not much weaker than others' Supreme Artifacts."
"As you were about to leave, the residual consciousness of the Black Abyss Demon Ancestor stopped you and mentioned that the Taiyuan Saint Stones in your storage world were extremely precious refining materials. They had the potential to make your sacred weapon grow into a Supreme Weapon. If you could obtain more Taiyuan Saint Stones, your sacred weapon could even have the potential to become an Imperial Weapon if you acquired the extremely rare Taiyuan Saint Crystals."
"Hearing this, you were quite surprised, not expecting Taiyuan Saint Stones to have such effects. At the same time, you became interested in Taiyuan Saint Crystals, recalling scenes from when you were in the Taiyuan Forbidden Land."
"There, you had seen numerous Taiyuan Saint Stones, and you even suspected that the buildings and arrays that terrified your heart might contain Taiyuan Saint Crystals."
"Thinking about it, your eyes sparkled with excitement. If you could obtain Taiyuan Saint Crystals, that would be great, whether it was for refining your sacred weapon or for selling. However, you calmed down again. That place wasn't the central area, and you couldn't imagine what was in the deepest part of the Taiyuan Forbidden Land."
"The Taiyuan Forbidden Land was truly too dangerous, and even you, as you are now, would undoubtedly die if you went there."
"Then, you curiously asked the residual consciousness of the Black Abyss Demon Ancestor if it knew the secrets of the Taiyuan Forbidden Land. In response, the residual consciousness of the Black Abyss Demon Ancestor shook its head and cryptically indicated that even quasi-emperors dared not enter that place. Did you think he would enter such a dangerous place in his lifetime?"
"After saying this, the residual consciousness of the Black Abyss Demon Ancestor expressed great interest and asked where the Taiyuan Saint Stone came from. Did you happen to have been to the Taiyuan Forbidden Land?"
"Your gaze flickered as you thought about it and, not concealing the truth, said that you had indeed been to the Taiyuan Forbidden Land. Luckily, you obtained a Taiyuan Saint Stone and managed to escape safely."
"Hearing this, the residual consciousness of the Black Abyss Demon Ancestor marveled, finding your luck truly astounding. After all, even Supreme Beings and quasi-emperors dared not enter that place. It was a place where death was certain, yet you managed to come out unscathed. Your luck was indeed terrifying."
"Then, the residual consciousness of the Black Abyss Demon Ancestor stated that it hadn't been optimistic about your ability to become an emperor or assassinate the Qingzhu Emperor. However, now it seemed that you still had some hope. Therefore, it hoped that after you became an emperor, you would give the Qingzhu Emperor or the Qingzhu Emperor's legitimate son a good beating."
"Hearing this, you rolled your eyes. The Black Abyss Demon Ancestor said it had figured things out, but hadn't it just not fully figured them out?"
"Nevertheless, you couldn't help but admit that the impression the Black Abyss Demon Ancestor left you with was much better than you had imagined. After all, you had always thought of the Black Abyss Demon Ancestor as extremely cold, proud, and inclined toward slaughter."
"Of course, perhaps he had been that way in his lifetime, as he followed the path of darkness, and the aura of the Black Abyss Devil Spear was terrifying to the extreme. But he had changed in many ways afterward."
"Next, you agreed and promised to do your best. Then, you left the secret realm."
"After leaving the secret realm, you went to the starry sky, found a place, and set up a large formation to begin refining the Taiyuan Saint Stones, intending to make your sacred weapon grow into a Great Saint Weapon."
"Several years later, you successfully fused your sacred weapon with the Taiyuan Saint Stones, making it a Great Saint Weapon and attracting the tempering of the Heavenly Tribulation for Great Artifacts."
