As the text simulation came to an end, various images and insights appeared in Wang Ping's mind. At the same time, his figure appeared at the location where Wang Ping had fallen.
"This tower's style is somewhat similar to the Taiyi Emperor's Tower. No, it should be said that the Taiyi Emperor's Tower and this tower share some similarities," Wang Ping remarked as he gazed at the tower emitting an immortal aura, his eyes filled with insight.
"However, the area around this tower seems to be a separate realm, unaffected by the outside world," Wang Ping noticed the situation around the tower afterward, looking rather surprised.
"Indeed, it's an Immortal Tower. It's truly extraordinary. If it could refresh in the form of a reward, that would be great," Wang Ping mused again, showing his desire for it.
"Unfortunately, the current level of the life simulator is still too low. The probability of refreshing high-level items is obviously too low. Not to mention Immortal artifacts, I haven't even seen Divine artifacts being refreshed," Wang Ping continued, feeling a bit regretful.
At present, the life simulator had not reached the level to compete with Immortals. The Seven-Colored Talent was only a confirmation of reaching the Three Realms of Enlightenment, incapable of refreshing higher-level talents.
The same applied to rewards. The probability of refreshing rewards beyond the Great Emperor level was clearly low. Immortal artifacts were clearly beyond that limit.
However, while they couldn't be refreshed in the life simulator, there was still a chance to obtain this Immortal artifact in reality. Of course, obtaining it in reality would also be quite troublesome.
After all, the commotion caused by the opening of this secret realm was too great and would attract the attention of all the strong beings from the upper realms. If someone found the Immortal artifact and knew that he had obtained it, it would undoubtedly lead to a scramble.
By then, even the Heavenly Feather Emperor would not be able to protect him, and it might even attract figures like the Nine Star Pavilion's leader. Once he attracted a quasi-Immortal like the Nine Star Pavilion's leader, the outcome for Wang Ping would certainly not be pleasant.
Unless, at the moment he obtained the Immortal artifact, he made a run for it directly, escaping to other worlds first. There was a possibility of success, but it was uncertain whether he would be pursued. Furthermore, he had to consider the factor of whether his aura would be locked onto and whether it would affect the people around him.
Wang Ping rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. Thinking about it, this Immortal artifact was indeed a hot potato; it couldn't be touched casually unless he became a Great Emperor and found a way to obtain the Chaotic Body. Otherwise, facing a quasi-Immortal like the Nine Star Pavilion's leader, he would have no chance.
"Forget it, thinking too much is pointless. Let's take it slow," Wang Ping shook his head and gave up thinking about it.
At this moment, Wang Ping's consciousness flickered, and he returned from the immersive simulation state to the real world. Then, the system's voice rang out.
"Ding, reward generation successful. Host can choose two items from the following rewards:
1. Gold Talent - Resilience
2. Red Talent - Thunder Elemental Body
3. Random quasi-Emperor-grade item
4. Random Supreme Elixir
5. Random Supreme Artifact."
"System, I choose Gold Talent - Resilience and Red Talent - Thunder Elemental Body," Wang Ping looked at the reward list, hesitating slightly before making his choice.
The Gold Talent - Resilience, although it had only played an astonishing role once in the simulation, was still quite good and worth choosing. As for the Red Talent - Thunder Elemental Body, Wang Ping thought of the previous discussion about collecting all attributes of Elemental Bodies to possibly merge into a Seven-Colored Elemental Body talent. Perhaps these Elemental Bodies could become vessels for the Little Chaos Body.
Of course, Wang Ping felt that the Elemental Bodies might not be sufficient. If he could seize various attribute Sacred Bodies, it would be the best choice. However, obtaining Sacred Bodies of various attributes was also quite troublesome. Without the ability to swallow Immortal and Demon Bodies, it was impossible to perfectly obtain the physique of other geniuses through refining. Refining would result in loss and could not achieve perfect absorption and compatibility; it would only leave the physique incomplete. This was why various forces chose to cultivate geniuses instead of refining them.
An incomplete powerful physique was not much of an advantage for growing powerhouses. They could not reach the level of completion, let alone the level of perfection of the Sacred Bodies. For quasi-Emperors, whether they had the Sacred Bodies or not didn't make much difference.
However, for some powerful forces like certain independent quasi-Emperors or less powerful factions, encountering geniuses might still lead to sinister intentions. These physiques were indeed quite precious for them, and they could be genuinely useful.
"It can only be said that I should give it a try. Refining someone else's physique is ultimately an evil path. Only the talents obtained through the life simulator are complete and can be used with confidence," Wang Ping thought to himself.
If he couldn't gather all nine Elemental Bodies, he would have to think of another way. In any case, he wouldn't miss this Little Chaos Body.
"Next, let's continue the simulation. System, I want to conduct a paid simulation," Wang Ping sighed in relief and spoke slowly.
There were still two chances for paid simulations, and he hoped to maximize his benefits. Regardless, no matter how he chose, he would definitely choose cultivation in the fourth paid simulation.
"Ding, consumes five million catties of top-quality divine source. The life simulator is activated, and the talent is being refreshed."
The system's voice rang out again.
"Ding, talent refresh successful. Congratulations to the host for successfully refreshing the Red Talent - Gold Elemental Body and the Red Talent - Ice Elemental Body."
Red Talent - Gold Elemental Body:
Red Talent - Ice Elemental Body: (ˇˇ)
"Uh..."
Wang Ping looked at the talents that were refreshed this time and the emoticon that appeared when the Ice Elemental Body was introduced, his gaze filled with a strange feeling. In the past, when refreshing talents, he had been extremely disdainful of various Red Talent Elemental Bodies. Now, it seemed that he felt a strange connection to them.
"System, I choose the red talent, Ice Profound Body," Wang Ping said with a light chuckle, making his choice.
"Ding, talent selection successful, life simulation initiated."
The system's voice rang out, and Wang Ping's consciousness blinked as he entered the immersive simulation state. Then, the screen appeared, and text began to appear.
[Day One, you chose to go to the Taiyuan Ancient Star to rescue people from the lower realms. After rescuing the people, you decided to directly challenge the Supreme Sky Road.]
[The reason for choosing to challenge the Supreme Sky Road is that you didn't want to go down the simulation path again. Since you can't obtain the Little Chaos Body for now, it's better to first explore the secret realm with the divine artifact.]
[Nearly a hundred years later, you successfully reached the peak level of the Supreme Sky. What happened next was no different from the previous simulation. You still told the Tianyu Emperor about the matter of Feather Path when he rushed back.]
[After the Tianyu Emperor left, you did not immediately choose to open the secret realm, nor did you have the idea of seizing the Emperor's Flame in the Purgatory Ancient Star. After all, the Emperor's Flame is of no use to you now and will only cause unnecessary trouble.]
[Your choice is to wait for the Tianyu Emperor to return before opening the secret realm. After all, with the Tianyu Emperor present, you have a reliable backer, and even if you obtain opportunities, you have a better chance of keeping them.]
[After thinking it over, you went to the place where the Dark Time Imperial Clan was located and entered it. The arrival of the Dark Time Imperial Clan was quite surprising.]
[Subsequently, the elder of the Dark Time Imperial Clan took you through the Time Ancient Road. In the past, it was quite difficult for you to go through this ancient road. However, you have already changed a lot, so it was easy to pass this time.]
[In the end, you once again saw the virtual image of the Dark Time Emperor. When the virtual image of the Dark Time Emperor saw you, he sighed.]
[As the virtual image of the Dark Time Emperor was about to speak, you interrupted and expressed your hope that the senior Dark Time Emperor would not say, 'You finally came.' Instead, you disappeared as a riddle.]
[Your words left the virtual image of the Dark Time Emperor utterly confused.]
[In the end, he could only stare at you with deep eyes, indicating that you were truly an elusive being who could read his thoughts.]
[Hearing this, you rolled your eyes, suggesting that the senior not be ambiguous and just tell you why he left behind the trial and made the Dark Time Imperial Clan obey your orders.]
[The virtual image of the Dark Time Emperor fell into silence, and his pupils turned gray, like the ashes of time, filled with vicissitudes and loneliness. Finally, he told you some things.]
[At the peak of his power, he wanted to become an immortal against the odds. Unfortunately, it was not meant to be, and he failed, which left him seriously injured and took many years to recover.]
[In the end, he survived until old age. In his twilight years, the Dark Time Emperor did not want to fall into the source of darkness, nor was he willing to pass away quietly. So he made a decision.]
[He was willing to give it his all to see through the past, present, and future, to understand the truth of why he couldn't become an immortal. Even if doing so would cause him to perish completely, he was determined to seek the Dao and pave a way for future generations.]
[In the end, the Dark Time Emperor burned his own origin and used his self-created great technique to see some images of the past, present, and future.]
[However, he still couldn't understand the reason why the passage to the Immortal Realm was sealed. He only had a brief encounter across time and space with a being guarding the Immortal Realm passage. This being looked exhausted, world-weary, and even somewhat numb, as if he had experienced unimaginable hardships.]
[That being was undoubtedly an immortal, most likely from the Immortal Realm. But the Dark Time Emperor didn't understand why that being was so fatigued and numb, nor did he know why that being was guarding the passage to the Immortal Realm, seemingly intentionally sealing it.]
[As the Dark Time Emperor was still in shock and perplexed, the being let out a sigh and waved his hand, sending the Dark Time Emperor back to the present time, preventing him from continuing to explore the past.]
[Afterward, the Dark Time Emperor remained silent for a while and wanted to see what would happen in the future, whether the Immortal Realm would open.]
[However, he still couldn't see any images of the Immortal Realm opening. Instead, he saw you.]
[At this point, the virtual image of the Dark Time Emperor stopped, and his gaze fixed deeply on you. Finally, he sighed softly, saying that he entrusted the Dark Time Imperial Clan to you. After saying this, the virtual image of the Dark Time Emperor disappeared.]
[This left you speechless. It seemed that the virtual image of the Dark Time Emperor truly enjoyed being mysterious and never revealing everything.]
[However, you remembered that the Dark Time Emperor had already passed away and couldn't be bothered to argue with him.]
[But the Dark Time Emperor's words still left you curious. You couldn't understand what role you played in the future he saw or which future timeline he had glimpsed.]
[Aside from that, what was the story with the immortal in the passage to the Immortal Realm? Why was he so exhausted and numb? That being was an absolutely terrifying existence, even among immortals.]
[Afterward, you thought of something else. Since that immortal was so powerful, he should have known what was happening in the upper realms. However, in the future, he didn't intervene to protect the upper realms, which indicated that he didn't care about how the subordinate planes of the Immortal Realm would change, nor did he care if new immortals were born.]
[Or perhaps, he couldn't leave the passage, couldn't manifest his divine abilities in the lower realms, and could only silently watch everything. In that case, if the Nine Star Pavilion's Pavilion Master ascended to immortality and forcefully entered the passage to the Immortal Realm, would they engage in a battle? Would the guardian of the Immortal Realm passage kill the Nine Star Pavilion's Pavilion Master?]
[Many speculations filled your mind, and you were very curious about what would happen in the future.]
[In the end, you shook your head, suppressing these thoughts, and left the Time Ancient Road. Then, you began to discuss with the Dark Time Imperial Clan about the resources you could obtain, wanting to know how much they could provide.]
[Hearing you mention this matter, the Elder of the Dark Time Imperial Clan said that if you wished, you could take all of the Dark Time Imperial Clan's resources. However, their Dark Time Imperial Clan had been in hiding for a long time, and the resources they could offer were limited. They only had fifty million pounds of premium divine source, and as for treasure medicines and such,
there weren't many.]
[Hearing this response, you were quite helpless. You had not expected the Dark Time Imperial Clan to have only fifty million pounds of premium divine source. However, you could understand their situation. After all, they had been in hiding for a long time, rarely going out, and focusing on cultivation. Over the years, they had been able to sustain themselves by controlling their population, and being able to provide fifty million pounds of premium divine source was already quite good. You couldn't force them.]
"Even though fifty million pounds may seem enough for me to simulate ten times, once I break through to the Supreme Sky level, the consumption of simulations will increase exponentially, and I may not be able to simulate many times," Wang Ping muttered as he read the simulated text, his brows furrowed in contemplation.
It seemed that he needed to carefully consider whether it was worth it to advance his cultivation in the real world.
"However, I've encountered crises before, and I can't keep my cultivation at the same level forever. I need to advance quickly to feel safe," Wang Ping sighed inwardly, feeling a bit helpless.
But Wang Ping also knew that resources couldn't be rushed. If necessary, he would first improve his cultivation and then ask Tianyu Emperor for assistance.
If even the Taiyi Emperor's Palace couldn't provide enough, Wang Ping would have to rely on himself to earn more.
"Indeed, this money is really hard to earn," Wang Ping sighed, continuing to gaze at the screen.
[Next, after the emergence of several quasi-emperor elders from the Dark Time Imperial Clan, you brought them back to the Taiyi Emperor's Palace.]
[When Tianyu Great Emperor returned with Yudao Yi, you first asked Yudao Yi to help you improve the Time and Space Dao Body and the Source-Shattering Heavenly Eye to the state of minor accomplishment.]
[Then, you explained the matter of the Taiyi Emperor's Tower and its secret realm. When Tianyu Great Emperor and Yudao Yi learned about the hidden secrets of the Taiyi Emperor's Tower, they were quite surprised and felt that this secret realm was not simple at all.]
[You asked Tianyu Great Emperor if he had the ability to shield the anomalies and monopolize the secret realm. In response, Tianyu Great Emperor shook his head, indicating that he didn't have confidence. However, he was willing to give it a try.]
[So, you all began to take action. Tianyu Great Emperor first set up a large array to prepare for concealing the aura. Then, you opened the secret realm with the Taiyi Emperor's Tower.]
[However, you still underestimated the terror of the secret realm anomalies. These anomalies erupted, directly breaking through the large array, causing disturbances in the upper realms, and alarming many lineages and powerful beings.]
[For a moment, many powerful beings rushed towards this place. Even the self-sealed powerhouses chose to emerge. Self-sealing could allow them to survive until the Golden Era, but with such a significant anomaly, it was clear that an astonishing opportunity had arisen. They couldn't afford to miss it.]
[Although they feared death, they also harbored the desire to achieve Dao. If there were no opportunities, they would continue to endure. However, if a chance for Dao emerged, they would not ignore it.]
[You looked at the soaring anomalies with speechless amusement, once again gesturing with your middle finger at the light pillar, and then you and Yudao Yi entered it together.]
[After entering it, you were immediately transported to an unknown place and faced an attack from a fierce beast. This fierce beast was incredibly powerful, reaching the level of a Heavenly Supreme. However, for you at your current level, this level of power was no longer a significant threat, and you easily defeated it, skinning and extracting its tendons.]
[Next, you followed your memory and headed in the direction of the Immortal Tower, intending to seize the initiative and obtain the tower first.]
[However, when you arrived at the location of the Immortal Tower, you discovered that the tower was nowhere to be found. This puzzled you, and you didn't know if the timing was wrong or if the tower was hidden.]
[You didn't know which situation it was, so you decided to explore slowly and had no plans to leave this area.]
[While you were exploring the hidden aspects of the Immortal Tower, more and more powerful beings appeared in the secret realm. Supremes, quasi-emperors, all entered to seek opportunities. There were even powerhouses who had already erupted into shocking battles, shaking the heavens and earth.]
[In response to this, you remained unmoved, patiently waiting. You believed that when the time was right, the Immortal Tower would definitely appear. Once it did, you could seize the opportunity and obtain the tower first.]
[In the blink of an eye, a hundred years had passed. During this time, the secret realm became increasingly chaotic, with horrifying battles happening more frequently. Even you were affected.]
[Because some passing powerful beings discovered that you were from the Taiyi Emperor's Palace and had grievances with the palace, they launched an attack. This individual's cultivation was not weak, reaching the peak of the Heavenly Sovereign realm, and they had also achieved a minor accomplishment in the Divine Body.]
[However, facing you, they were still too weak. In the end, with a casual strike, you killed them, shocking several Supremes and even a nearby quasi-emperor. They hurriedly retreated, and even this quasi-emperor showed caution towards you. They didn't expect the Taiyi Emperor's Palace to have such a freakish Heavenly Sovereign like you. They believed that even if they faced you, they would likely lose.]
[You didn't pay attention to the powerful beings retreating; you simply searched the corpse and then set up a killing formation to prevent any feigned death.]
[Another one hundred and fifty years passed. During this time, many powerful beings fought fiercely, and many of them found astonishing opportunities, causing their strength to skyrocket or directly break through bottlenecks.]
[In response, you frowned, wondering if you had made a mistake. Perhaps the Immortal Tower wouldn't appear naturally; last time, it only appeared because the Pavilion Master of the Nine Star Pavilion refined the upper realm and forced it out. If that were the case, continuing to wait would be a waste of time. Considering that you had opened the secret realm, obtained nothing, and others gained a lot of opportunities, it would be like giving others a bridal gown.]
[You couldn't sit still at this point and thought of leaving an avatar to keep watch here while you went to look for other opportunities. If things went smoothly, perhaps you could become a quasi-emperor.]
[Just as you were thinking this, a beam of immortal light suddenly soared into the sky, illuminating the entire secret realm. Immediately after, a tower filled with immortal charm appeared before your eyes.]
[Seeing the Immortal Tower appear, you felt joy in your heart and immediately summoned the Taiyi Emperor's Tower. In your view, since the Taiyi Emperor's Tower bore some resemblance to this Immortal Tower, there must be some connection between them. Perhaps you could use the Taiyi Emperor's Tower to make the Immortal Tower recognize you as its master.]
[At that time, you would possess an immortal weapon, which would become your most potent trump card.]
[However, something unexpected happened. The Taiyi Emperor's Tower appeared but proved utterly useless. The Immortal Tower continued to radiate its immortal light, ignoring the Taiyi Emperor's Tower and you completely. What's more, an Immortal Light Barrier suddenly appeared and repelled you.]
[After being repelled, you looked quite embarrassed and frustrated. You didn't expect that the Taiyi Emperor's Tower, which served as the key to opening the secret realm, would have no use and would be completely ignored by the Immortal Tower. In other words, you had lost your greatest reliance.]
[You gazed at the Immortal Light Barrier and felt that to enter the Immortal Tower, you would probably have to break this barrier first. Perhaps, this was the first trial of the Immortal Tower.]
[However, you were well aware that you couldn't break this barrier on your own. Although you were invincible in the Heavenly Sovereign realm, your cultivation level was ultimately still Heavenly Sovereign, unable to compare with those truly powerful beings.]
[For this reason, you could only wait for Yudao Yi, the top-notch quasi-emperor, and other powerful beings to arrive and break through the barrier before considering the matter of subduing the Immortal Tower.]
[Soon, due to the anomalies caused by the appearance of the Immortal Tower, numerous powerful beings converged on this location, appearing one after another.]
[Once these powerful beings appeared, they all fixed their eager gazes on the Immortal Tower. Their perspectives were high, and they naturally recognized it as an immortal treasure surpassing emperor artifacts. If they could obtain such a heaven-defying opportunity, their future prospects would be boundless.]
[Especially those who were already standing at the pinnacle of the quasi-emperor level were even more excited. With an immortal treasure in their hands, they could challenge and even defeat emperors, even if they hadn't broken through to the emperor level themselves.]
[Just when everyone's hearts were burning with desire, Yudao Yi arrived. After his arrival, he inquired about the situation of the Immortal Tower. Upon hearing your explanation, Yudao Yi also became somewhat puzzled, not understanding why the Immortal Tower was rejecting you, who possessed the Taiyi Emperor's Tower.]
[However, now was not the time to ponder these questions. It was time to think about how to break through the Immortal Tower and seize it.]
[At this moment, a white-clad quasi-emperor stepped forward, suggesting that everyone should join forces to break through the Immortal Light Barrier. As for who could obtain the Immortal Tower, it would depend on their abilities.]
[When he said this, the white-clad quasi-emperor's gaze was resolute, and his sword intent soared. He wanted to obtain this immortal treasure. Once he possessed it, he would have the power to seek revenge against the Windheart Great Emperor. At that time, he could dispel his inner demons, restore his Dao heart, and ascend to the emperor level.]
[The words of the white-clad quasi-emperor gained the approval of the other powerful beings present. They were not fools and naturally understood that to obtain the Immortal Tower, they first had to break through the Immortal Light Barrier.]
[Soon, the powerful beings present launched a joint attack, unleashing terrifying divine techniques. The power they unleashed was sufficient to kill an ordinary emperor. After all, there were many powerful beings present, including the likes of the white-clad quasi-emperor, who could contend with elderly ordinary emperors.]
[However, what left all the powerful beings helpless was that, no matter how they joined forces to attack, they couldn't even shake the Immortal Light Barrier, let alone break it or create the slightest crack.]
[Seeing this scene, you were also quite speechless, not understanding the situation with the Immortal Tower. If things continued like this, it would truly be having an opportunity but being unable to obtain it, which was even more frustrating than not finding an opportunity at all.]
[Just when everyone had furrowed brows and felt somewhat helpless, more powerful beings arrived at the scene. It was at this moment that a change occurred.]
[Including you, the golden symbols of the worlds within the bodies of some powerful beings began to float. In addition to this, the Taiyi Emperor's Tower reappeared. These golden symbols revolved around the Taiyi Emperor's Tower and transformed into items resembling golden keys, radiating with light.]
[With this phenomenon, the Immortal Light gradually dissipated, and the bottommost gate of the Immortal Tower slowly opened.]
[This scene filled many powerful beings with joy. They hadn't expected such a change. You were also very excited, not expecting such a turn of events.]
[However, your expression quickly changed. You felt an intense sense of danger and prepared to use your golden talent, Damage Nullification.]
[Your intuition was correct, as a powerful quasi-emperor launched a terrifying attack against you at this moment. This kind of attack was not something you could handle in your current state.]
[However, before you could use your golden talent, a figure stood in front of you, blocking the attack and rebuking the quasi-emperor who had attacked you, condemning him for being shameless and attacking a junior like you.]
[You also snapped out of your daze, staring at the quasi-emperor who had attacked you and recognized his identity. He was none other than Qingyu, the quasi-emperor and direct descendant of the Green Bamboo Great Emperor, a well-known quasi-emperor for many years. You had previously promised to teach a lesson to the descendants of the Green Bamboo Great Emperor when you had the chance, but now you couldn't wait to kill him on the spot.]
[In the face of Yudao Yi's rebuke, Qingyu, the quasi-emperor and the direct descendant of the Green Bamboo Great Emperor, remained unfazed. Instead, he taunted Yudao Yi, stating that even though Yudao Yi was at the peak of the Heavenly Sovereign realm, he was still a junior, which was laughable.]
[Upon hearing Yudao Yi's words, the powerful beings present were all shocked. They hadn't expected you to be so young, a Heavenly Sovereign at the peak, at just over three thousand years old. It was truly astounding. However, they were also very puzzled about why you had absolutely no reputation.]
[Qingyu, the quasi-emperor, wore a grim expression. He snorted, stating that immortal treasures were precious and that only true strong individuals had the qualifications to participate in the competition. The golden symbols and the Taiyi Emperor's Tower in your hands were too precious to fall into your possession.]
[With these words, enmity levels shot through the roof. The powerful beings present all had their eyes on you, who possessed the Taiyi Emperor's Tower, golden symbols, and other cultivators who had golden symbols.]
[These individuals were all ancient beings, and for most of them, they didn't care about right or wrong. They only knew one thing: whoever possessed the Taiyi Emperor's Tower and the golden symbols would have the advantage in the competition for the Immortal Tower.]
[Seeing that these powerful beings were targeting you, Yudao Yi's expression also turned grave. Even in her peak state, she couldn't contend with these people, let alone now in her damaged state.]
[Your expression was also very ugly as you realized the imminent danger. Soon, you thought of something and looked at the white-clad quasi-emperor, sending a message to him, indicating that his disciple's remnant soul was within Lin Qinghe's body, and Lin Qinghe had now become your disciple, residing within the Taiyi Emperor's Palace.]
