"Wow, I didn't expect this to go so smoothly, and I actually obtained the Small Chaos Body directly. I even found the Devouring Law Pearl."
Wang Ping looked at the simulated text content, feeling quite emotional.
"But is this Devouring Law Pearl blind? With my setup, it still refuses to acknowledge me as its master."
Wang Ping thought again about the Devouring Law Pearl resisting him and felt quite speechless.
His current setup was impressive:
- The Small Chaos Body he had just acquired.
- The Time-Space Dao Body at the Grand Mastery level.
- The Source-Breaking Heavenly Eye at the Minor Mastery level.
With such talents, even in the heyday of the Upper Realm, few could compare to him. Yet, the Devouring Law Pearl was reluctant to recognize him as its master, which seemed absurd.
"Could it be that only the Chosen Ones are worthy of having three Devouring Emperor Artifacts, and I'm not qualified if I'm not a Chosen One?"
"No, wait a minute. The Chosen Ones are just beings favored by the Heavenly Dao, while I am someone recognized by the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao. My priority should be higher than that of the Chosen Ones."
Wang Ping recalled this point and furrowed his brow, feeling puzzled.
Or perhaps, someone else had already become its master, and it was left here, scheming for something.
"Whether it is or not, I'll find out soon."
Soon, Wang Ping calmed his emotions and continued to gaze at the screen.
[As you unleashed your terrifying power, fully opened your potential, the struggles of the Devouring Law Pearl subsided. It chose to recognize you as its master. Previously, it was in slumber and resisted being awakened, naturally instinctively resisting being subdued. However, upon seeing your extraordinary abilities and your recognition by the Heavenly Dao, it naturally chose to acknowledge you as its master.]
[Furthermore, if you had refused to accept it, it would have turned the tables and begged you to accept it.]
[You didn't know what the Devouring Law Pearl was thinking and assumed that it was subdued by your power, feeling quite satisfied.]
"Damn, I'm really fooled. It turns out it was just being grumpy."
Wang Ping looked at the simulated text content and couldn't help but shake his head.
He had thought that the Devouring Law Pearl had high standards or already had a master, but it turned out to be grumpy.
"My imagination is too strong; it's a kind of mistake."
Wang Ping rubbed his forehead, self-deprecatingly, and then continued to focus on the screen.
[Next, after studying the Devouring Law Pearl, you showed a surprised expression. You discovered that this Devouring Law Pearl is truly a natural cheat for cultivation.]
[This thing targets mana. In other words, as long as your comprehension of the true meaning of the Heavenly Dao improves, it can devour all things, convert them into mana, and help you rapidly advance in cultivation.]
[With this thing, you believe that you can soon break through to the Quasi-Emperor level. Once your cultivation reaches the Quasi-Emperor level, you will have the confidence to seize the Immortal Tower Secret Realm.]
[While you were envisioning the future, a Heavenly Sovereign was attracted by an anomaly. When he saw the Devouring Law Pearl in your hand, his mind trembled, and he showed a fanatic expression. Greedily gazing at the Devouring Law Pearl, he immediately decided to make a move, intending to kill you and take the Devouring Law Pearl.]
[Although you have already made quite a stir among the top experts in the Upper Realm, the news hasn't completely spread yet. Due to your low-profile behavior during your time in the Immortal Mansion, you are still relatively unknown in this starry sky, remaining an unknown figure.]
[As a result, even though you are wearing the robes of an elder from the Taiyi Emperor Palace, your displayed cultivation seems to be only at the Half-Step Sovereign level, and this Heavenly Sovereign naturally doesn't take you seriously. While the identity of an elder from the Taiyi Emperor Palace makes him wary, the great opportunity before him overrides his concerns.]
[As long as he obtains the Devouring Law Pearl, he will have a chance to become a Quasi-Emperor and even dream of becoming an Emperor in the future. At that time, what would he have to fear from the Taiyi Emperor Palace?]
[Just when this Heavenly Sovereign was daydreaming about his future, your expression also became serious. You didn't expect this Heavenly Sovereign to dare to make a move against you.]
[Immediately, you unleashed a terrifying combat power, going all out and using a powerful divine technique, directly killing him instantly.]
[Although your current cultivation is only at the Half-Step Sovereign level, and there is a considerable gap between you and a Heavenly Sovereign, your other configurations are terrifying, enough to make up for the gap in cultivation.]
[After killing this Heavenly Sovereign, you used the Devouring Law Pearl to swallow him, turning him into pure mana and helping you rapidly advance to the Sovereign level.]
[Once you returned to the Sovereign level, you were quite satisfied and brought Lin Yuanyuan back to the Taiyi Emperor Palace. Upon your return, Emperor Tianyu and others breathed sighs of relief, praising your incredible luck. They never expected you to obtain the Small Chaos Body and congratulated you.]
[You accepted their congratulations one by one. Then, you proposed the idea of challenging the Supreme Heavenly Path. Hearing this, Emperor Tianyu naturally couldn't stop you and chose to let you enter the tower.]
[Soon, you easily advanced through the Supreme Heavenly Path, clearing it without anyone being able to withstand a single move from you. This left the shadow of Emperor Taiyi in awe, as he had never seen someone as abnormal as you.]
[However, what followed was a sense of relief. With someone likely to ascend to immortality in the Taiyi Emperor Palace, he could rest in peace.]
[Next, you obtained recognition from the Taiyi Emperor Tower and received rewards, rapidly reaching the pinnacle of the Sovereign level.]
[This time, thanks to the Devouring Law Pearl, the process of absorbing energy and refining it was significantly shortened. It only took you one year to reach this level.]
[After coming out of seclusion, you began to think about where to find a vast source of energy for you to devour. After careful consideration, you realized that challenging the Quasi-Emperors was the best idea.]
[Then, you asked Emperor Tianyu if there were any Quasi-Emperor prisoners held within the Taiyi Emperor Palace. Upon hearing your question, Emperor Tianyu was somewhat puzzled, not understanding why you were asking.]
[However, Emperor Tianyu still told you the answer. Naturally, there were Quasi-Emperor prisoners. After all, once they reached the Quasi-Emperor level, they all had their secrets, and their inherent value was quite significant. If they were captured alive, they wouldn't be easily killed but would instead be exploited for their secrets and value.]
[For this reason, there were indeed two Quasi
-Emperor prisoners within the Taiyi Emperor Palace.]
[Upon hearing this response, you smiled. Having two Quasi-Emperor prisoners was a great joy. If you could use the Devouring Law Pearl to swallow them, it would definitely satisfy the conditions for you to break through to the Quasi-Emperor level. After all, you had already comprehended forty percent of the true meaning of the Heavenly Dao. The rest was simply a matter of accumulating vast energy and condensing the Quasi-Emperor Dao Fruits.]
[Without a fortuitous encounter, this process would be extremely lengthy and time-consuming. However, with the Devouring Law Pearl, everything would become much simpler.]
[Next, you took out the Devouring Law Pearl, revealing your forty percent comprehension of the Heavenly Dao and expressing your desire to break through with the help of the two Quasi-Emperor prisoners.]
[Emperor Tianyu, seeing your Devouring Law Pearl and your forty percent comprehension of the Heavenly Dao, was completely shocked. He didn't expect that you had silently obtained the Devouring Law Pearl once again and comprehended forty percent of the Heavenly Dao's true meaning. This opportunity and insight were truly incredible.]
[As a result, Emperor Tianyu didn't say much and directly handed over the authority to deal with the two Quasi-Emperor prisoners to you, assisting you in breaking through to the Quasi-Emperor level.]
[In response, you were very satisfied and went to the Taiyi Emperor Palace's heavenly prison, where you saw the two Quasi-Emperor prisoners. You directly killed them and used the Devouring Law Pearl to devour everything about them, turning them into pure mana.]
[Then, you entered seclusion to absorb these pure energies and break through to the Quasi-Emperor level.]
[You knew that your time was limited. In a little over a hundred years, the Nine Star Pavilion Master would take action, and you needed to break through to the Quasi-Emperor level within that time.]
[Eventually, you successfully condensed the Quasi-Emperor Dao Fruits and broke through to the Quasi-Emperor level, triggering a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation.]
[The Heavenly Tribulation was horrifying and shook the entire Immortal Continent. The top experts were all astonished, as they never expected someone to undergo a Heavenly Tribulation here. The intensity of this Heavenly Tribulation seemed like that of a Quasi-Emperor, but it was much stronger than the Quasi-Emperor Tribulation they remembered.]
[While countless cultivators were shocked, even the emperors couldn't help but take notice. You were a well-known figure now, and they recognized you. However, they never expected you to advance from Half-Step Sovereign to Quasi-Emperor in such a short time. Your cultivation speed was truly abnormal.]
[Even the two Quasi-Immortals from the Immortal Mansion and the Gu Family were surprised that you could continuously advance through two major realms in just a hundred years. It left their minds buzzing with thoughts.]
[During this time of active contemplation among various parties, you successfully survived the Heavenly Tribulation after your breakthrough to Quasi-Emperor, and your strength multiplied once again.]
"The Devouring Law Pearl is truly incredible. Its inherent growth potential is terrifying, allowing Simulated Wang Ping to advance to Quasi-Emperor in a short time. However, an Emperor Artifact is still an Emperor Artifact. Unless all three pearls merge and reach the level of an Immortal Artifact, it might not be as effective in realms beyond Grand Emperor."
Wang Ping read the simulated text content and couldn't help but marvel.
"Three pearls merging, I'll have to plan for that in the next simulation. It's probably not feasible in this simulation. After all, the other two pearls already have their masters, and it wouldn't be right to take them from my own disciples."
Wang Ping's gaze flickered as he thought to himself.
At this point in reality, Lin Yan hadn't obtained the Soul-Devouring Pearl yet.
As for Zhu Huowang, there was no need to mention him; he hadn't even been born, and the Semen-Devouring Pearl was nowhere to be found.
Therefore, as long as Wang Ping obtained them before his disciples did, he could establish himself as their master.
However, Wang Ping hoped that the Life Simulator would provide him with rewards. Otherwise, obtaining these Immortal Artifacts in reality would require significant effort.
He already knew the locations of the Soul-Devouring Pearl and the Devouring Law Pearl, but the Semen-Devouring Pearl was a bit troublesome.
Of course, it was a bit troublesome.
With Wang Ping's supernatural abilities, it was possible to trace back in time and find out where the Semen-Devouring Pearl was located a hundred thousand years ago. Although tracing back so far would come at a cost, as long as it was done in the simulation, Wang Ping's real self wouldn't have to bear any consequences.
Next, Wang Ping collected his thoughts and continued to focus on the screen.
[After you successfully crossed the Heavenly Tribulation and became a Quasi-Emperor, various parties were shocked and curious about the level of your current strength. After all, you possessed the dual nature of the Time-Space Dao Body and the Chaos Body, making your strength absolutely abnormal. You could even fight beyond your Quasi-Emperor level.]
[As everyone was shocked and curious, a sudden change occurred. The Nine Star Pavilion Master activated the Ten Directions Refinement Array, intending to refine the Upper Realm.]
[Sensing this abnormal situation, the faces of all the powerful individuals changed dramatically as they felt extreme danger.]
[In an instant, some powerful individuals charged toward the source of the darkness without hesitation, while others roared in anger. Meanwhile, your expression also changed drastically as you immediately revealed the Nine Star Pavilion Master's conspiracy and his actions within the Temporal Forbidden Zone.]
[Many powerful individuals who hadn't escaped into the source of darkness were shaken. Some followed the lead of the two Quasi-Immortals from the Immortal Mansion and the Gu Family and rushed toward the Temporal Forbidden Zone, while others chose to escape into the source of darkness.]
[As for you, you made a decision. Earlier, you had already diverted many powerful individuals' attention. You planned to use the Taiyi Emperor Tower to enter the vicinity of the Immortal Tower and seek refuge.]
[Under your lead, the strong individuals of the Taiyi Emperor Palace gathered at the entrance of the secret realm, intending to enter it.]
[However, what startled you was that the entrance to the secret realm had disappeared, unable to be opened. It was clear that the secret realm where the Immortal Tower was located had also been affected by the Nine Star Pavilion Master's great array. It was possible that the Immortal Tower itself had sealed the entrance for self-preservation.]
[Faced with this situation, you felt extremely helpless and could only consult with Emperor Tianyu about where to take refuge. You didn't want to go back to the Taiyuan Forbidden Land where you had died several times before. Similarly, you had also experienced death multiple times in the Life and Death Realm and didn't want to return there.]
[However, you had no choice but to make a decision.]
[In the end, Emperor Tianyu sighed and expressed that it was better to fight for a slim chance rather than live in fear. This was the courage that cultivators should possess. Without courage, no matter how talented one was, they could never reach the pinnacle.]
[Hearing this, you let out a bitter smile. You understood this principle, but the world was too dangerous. If you didn't develop cautiously, you would have died countless times by now.]
[Of course, you also knew that continuing to hide and survive at this point was meaningless. It would only extend your life by a hundred years or so, without any real purpose.]
[For this reason, after thinking it over, you agreed with Emperor Tianyu's reasoning and expressed your willingness to join him in confronting the Nine Star Pavilion Master. Since you were doomed, it was better to meet the Nine Star Pavilion Master and gather some information.]
[If you could collect enough information, it might be useful in dealing with him in the future.]
[Emperor Tianyu nodded and, along with you, Yu Daoyi, and the Quasi-Emperors from the Taiyi Emperor Palace, headed towards the Temporal Forbidden Zone.]
[Upon arriving at the Temporal Forbidden Zone, you found that it was even more peculiar than described in ancient texts. The space-time here was extremely chaotic, with no discernible rules.]
[In this place, even Emperors could be swallowed by sudden rifts in space-time, or time could accelerate, rapidly consuming a cultivator's lifespan. Conversely, time could slow down suddenly, making one feel that time was moving at an excruciatingly slow pace while the outer space-time rifts remained unaffected, easily devouring cultivators.]
[However, despite the extreme danger here, you discovered that it was the best place to cultivate in the Dao of Space-Time. Shortly after your arrival, following Emperor Tianyu deeper into the zone, you had an epiphany in your understanding of the Space-Time Heavenly Dao, directly comprehending it to fifty percent, boosting your strength.]
[This astonished you, as you realized that if you had the talent to resist this restricted area in the future, you might consider coming here for cultivation, despite the danger. After all, danger often came with opportunities.]
[Not long after that, Emperor Tianyu led you to the heart of the Temporal Forbidden Zone and arrived at the battlefield. However, during the journey here, even with Emperor Tianyu's protection, most of the Quasi-Emperors from the Taiyi Emperor Palace suffered casualties, and you narrowly avoided death.]
[Once you reached the battlefield, you witnessed a terrifying battle. More accurately, a group of powerful individuals had formed an array and besieged the Nine Star Pavilion Master.]
[The large formation formed by the group of powerful individuals was an Immortal Formation set up by the Quasi-Immortals from the Immortal Mansion. With two Quasi-Immortals, along with the presence of Emperors and Quasi-Emperors, the power of the formation was terrifying.]
[Unfortunately, the Nine Star Pavilion Master had already calculated everything. The ten Forbidden Zones had transformed into a collective entity, absorbing and refining the Upper Realm. It was beyond the capability of anyone present to resist. When the terrifying attacks of the group were launched towards the Nine Star Pavilion Master, they were all blocked by countless runes, and the Nine Star Pavilion Master remained unmoved, coldly watching the group while continuing to refine the Upper Realm.]
[Seeing this scene, you sighed and knew that the situation was hopeless. Since the formation had already been completed, whether attacking the Nine Star Pavilion Master or any of the ten stars, it would be in vain. Unless someone possessed a terrifying power that could directly break the formation.]
[But that kind of power, even someone who had just become an Immortal wouldn't be able to possess, as they couldn't possibly have the power to destroy all ten Great Universes simultaneously.]
[If such power existed, it would have been done by an Immortal in the distant past.]
[However, the fact that the Upper Realm still existed until now indicated that no one had accomplished such a feat. Of course, it couldn't be ruled out that there were strong individuals among the Immortals who kept things in check, especially those controlled by the Immortal Realms, who dared not take such actions.]
[All of this was just your speculation. The true strength of the Immortals was an unknown field, and no one in the current era knew how strong they truly were. Although you had sensed the aura of the Nine Star Pavilion Master after becoming an Immortal, it was just an aura, and he hadn't made a move, so you couldn't gauge his true strength.]
[As you were contemplating these thoughts, the Nine Star Pavilion Master looked at you. At that moment, you felt a chilling sensation from the bottom of your feet to the top of your head.]
[Then, your consciousness flickered, and your vision changed. You found yourself appearing next to the Nine Star Pavilion Master.]
[This startled Emperor Tianyu and Yu Daoyi, who wanted to save you, but they soon smiled bitterly. Even with so many powerful individuals forming an array, they couldn't do anything to the Nine Star Pavilion Master.]
[Emperor Tianyu and Yu Daoyi, both Emperors and top Quasi-Emperors, felt powerless for the first time.]
[You looked at the Nine Star Pavilion Master, wearing a bitter smile. You never expected him to be so terrifying, capturing you in an instant. Faced with such a formidable enemy, you couldn't escape, and your fate was sealed. Dying was not the issue, but it was a pity that you had just obtained the Little Chaos Body and now had to become someone else's nourishment, which was truly tragic.]
[While you were in despair, the Nine Star Pavilion Master gazed at you and slowly spoke, 'I am still me, but you are no longer you, so you must die here.']
[These words shook your mind, as you felt they held a great secret. At the same time, you suddenly realized that the eyes beneath the mask of the Nine Star Pavilion Master seemed familiar, as if you had seen them somewhere before. However, you couldn't recall where you had seen this weathered gaze.]
[Before you could think further, the Nine Star Pavilion Master chose to refine you. Due to the presence of your reincarnation symbol, you came back to life, but you were refined once more.]
[Because of your death, this simulation came to an end.]
[The text simulation ended here, and Wang Ping's mind was filled with memories and insights. Finally, his consciousness appeared in the Temporal Forbidden Zone, where he saw the Nine Star Pavilion Master.]
"What did he mean by that
? Has he discovered that this is a simulation? So, he is still himself, but I am no longer me. Therefore, I must die here?" Wang Ping's expression changed constantly, feeling a palpable fear from the Nine Star Pavilion Master's words.
"If he really found out about the Life Simulation Device in the real world, does that mean I've been under his surveillance all this time? Unless he has ulterior motives."
Wang Ping clenched his fists, unable to calm down.
王平 wanted to fully unleash the power of the Little Chaos Body, which required developing it to the Minor Completion Realm and even the Grand Completion Realm.
Of course, developing it was one thing, but practicing an Emperor Scripture of the Chaos type and comprehending the true essence of the Chaos Heavenly Dao were equally important.
Only when everything else was in sync could the Little Chaos Body truly display its divine power.
"However, an Emperor Scripture with Chaos attributes has never appeared before. I can only create a new Emperor Scripture myself, and I'll need to re-comprehend the Chaos Heavenly Dao as well," Wang Ping pondered with a furrowed brow.
"But obtaining enlightenment with the Enlightenment Heavenly Fruit from the Immortal Tower won't be difficult. Once I consume it, I'll easily gain enlightenment. By then, I can repeatedly claim rewards from the Immortal Tower, continuing until I've consumed all the Enlightenment Heavenly Fruits. At that point, everything will fall into place."
Wang Ping thought about the Immortal Tower and chuckled before putting it out of his mind.
"Now, I should go earn some divine source energy. While I'm concerned about the Nine Star Pavilion Master, there's no use worrying. I'll just have Alpha be on guard and ready to relocate at any time. Alpha's reaction speed is much faster than mine; if there's danger, we can escape immediately."
Wang Ping got up, left his seclusion, and headed outside.
"I've accessed your memories and saw the Nine Star Pavilion Master. So, I can tell you about the identity of the Nine Star Pavilion Master."
It was at this moment that Alpha's voice suddenly sounded, causing Wang Ping to stop in his tracks, stunned.
"Who is the Nine Star Pavilion Master?" Wang Ping asked with a hint of skepticism.
Since even Alpha knew the identity of the Nine Star Pavilion Master, it meant that this Nine Star Pavilion Master was quite famous.
However, Wang Ping had other suspicions beyond mere fame.
"The Nine Star Pavilion Master is Emperor Coldmoon," Alpha's icy voice rang out, devoid of calmness.
"Emperor Coldmoon? How is that possible!? Didn't you say that Emperor Coldmoon had only reached the Emperor realm when the first-generation chat group was destroyed and fell into the source of darkness?" Wang Ping exclaimed in shock, finding it hard to believe.
"Moreover, the Nine Star Pavilion Master is of the same generation as the Gu family and has been around for over a hundred million years. Could it be that the first-generation chat group was established over a billion years ago?"
"The establishment of the first-generation chat group occurred much earlier than you imagine," Alpha replied after a moment of silence.
"But there's a problem with the timeline! A hundred million years ago, Earth didn't even have human beings!" Wang Ping mumbled to himself.
"I've mentioned it before, but you seem to have forgotten. The Earth you're on is very special, and the humans on that Earth aren't ordinary humans. Therefore, many forces from various realms choose to cross over and nurture the humans on that Earth. So, you can't view the situation based on the ordinary course of Earth's history," Alpha calmly explained.
"You did mention that," Wang Ping admitted, reflecting on his previous oversight.
"Now that I think about it, it's no wonder that Coldmoon reached this point. He truly has determination and cunning tactics," Alpha's voice rang out again, expressing admiration for Coldmoon.
"He's indeed quite formidable," Wang Ping had to acknowledge.
Despite not having a "golden finger," Coldmoon had reached this level through his own efforts. Furthermore, he had calculated all the factions in the future, refined the Upper Realm, attained a complete Chaos Body, and even ascended to immortality in the Lower Realm, where it was thought to be impossible.
It could only be said that the first-generation transmigrators who had survived until now were not simple at all; they were all kings among kings.
In comparison, the second-generation chat group's transmigrators had varying levels of strength, with the weakest being Nirvana-stage and the strongest currently at the quasi-Emperor level.
As for the leader of the second-generation chat group, Wang Ping hadn't met them and didn't include them in his assessment.
Of course, even if he did, Wang Ping wouldn't be as awed as he used to be.
Wiping out the Ten Great Universes with a wave of his hand had once seemed terrifying, but now it appeared rather ordinary.
After all, Coldmoon, the Emperor of the first-generation chat group, had achieved something similar, albeit through weakening the Heavenly Dao with the power of the Source of Darkness, stealing the original Source of the Heavenly Dao, and gradually refining it with a massive formation. Nevertheless, he had accomplished such a feat.
This meant that the leader of the second-generation chat group was probably only a level or two stronger than an ordinary immortal.
With the progress of the simulation, Wang Ping was rapidly approaching this level himself. After all, it had been less than ten years in real-world time since his transmigration.
"Speaking of which, I now understand why Coldmoon took action against Lin Yuanyuan in the previous simulation, why the Immortal Mansion intervened to stop the Gu family emperors, and why the Gu family quasi-emperor chose not to fight. It turns out that these two old monsters knew Coldmoon's secrets, while the other powerful individuals were unaware," Wang Ping recalled the events from the previous simulation, his eyes flickering as he muttered to himself.
"However, Alpha, didn't you notice anything unusual at that time? In theory, you should have been able to discern his true cultivation level, right?" Wang Ping paused before asking curiously.
"I knew at that time that he was in his avatar form, but I didn't expect that his true self was the Nine Star Pavilion Master and that he had become so powerful," Alpha's voice slowly explained.
"I see," Wang Ping nodded, understanding the situation.
"By the way, when was the first-generation chat group established, and when was it destroyed? The timeline seems too unbelievable," Wang Ping asked another question.
"It was destroyed 120 million years ago," Alpha replied, providing this terrifying number.
Heh, perceptive individuals should have guessed that things weren't as simple as they seemed. Quite comical.
