Chapter 224 A Change in the Simulation Cooldown!
【Simulation ended!】
【Ding! Please choose one of the following rewards after the simulation ends.】
【1: The Fifth Tribulation Realm cultivation of the Tribulation Stage from this simulation】
【2: The latest progress of the Immortal-Demon Body】
【3: The latest progress of the Divine Power Heavenslaying】
【4: Master the Divine Power — Taixu Dragon Traversal】
【5: All true insights from this simulation (now with an all-new 3D experience!)】
【6: The talent obtained in this simulation: Identity Mastery LV2】
【7: The latest progress in Body Tempering from the simulation】
【8: The latest bloodline concentration of the True Dragon Bloodline】
【Simulation cooldown: one year】
【Activate the talent: I Want Them All?】
“Activate!”
In the next instant, a vast flood of memory fragments poured into Su Ming’s mind, and those scenes began playing there like a slideshow.
A long while later, Su Ming slowly opened his eyes.
“Phew!”
Su Ming had not expected that after arriving in the Qingxuan Realm, the true insights granted by the Simulator would come in this form.
For the moment, he found this completely new method of enlightenment rather novel.
Within those memories, he saw the revolting appearance of the Eldritch Race, as well as the final scene in which he was devoured by that Immortal Lord-level eldritch being.
That scene had felt as though Su Ming had personally lived through it. Even though he knew it had only happened in the simulation, Su Ming absolutely did not want to go through such an experience a second time.
However, a smile soon appeared on Su Ming’s face.
This simulation had still brought him enormous gains, gains that could even be called beyond his expectations.
Su Ming had not expected that this simulation would raise him directly from the First Tribulation Realm of the Tribulation Stage all the way to the Fifth Tribulation Realm.
What excited him even more was that the forging of the Immortal-Demon Body had gone exceptionally smoothly.
The only slight regret was that External Incarnation would likely never be usable again.
“Wait!!!”
At that thought, Su Ming’s eyes widened abruptly. He immediately opened the Simulator interface and stared fixedly at it.
【Simulation cooldown: one year!】
The moment Su Ming saw that the Simulation cooldown was only one year, he froze on the spot.
He remembered that before coming to the Qingxuan Realm, when he had been in the Dead Land of the Canglan Realm, the Simulation cooldown had already reached six or seven years. Now that he had broken through to the Fifth Tribulation Realm of the Tribulation Stage, the Simulator’s cooldown should only have become even longer.
Yet what he saw was a cooldown of only one year, and for a moment, he could not make sense of it.
“Could it be because of Immortal Qi?”
Su Ming thought about it for a long time and realized that the greatest difference between the Qingxuan Realm and the Dead Land was that one had Spiritual Qi, while the other had Immortal Qi.
If the Simulator operated by relying on energy, then Immortal Qi clearly contained far more energy than Spiritual Qi.
That also neatly explained why the cooldown in the Dead Land required six or seven years, or even ten years, while after arriving in the Qingxuan Realm, it required only one year instead.
“What an unexpected delight!”
For Su Ming, the most important thing right now was his number of Simulation Attempts.
Previously, he had been worried that once he ran out of Simulation Attempts, he would either have to wait for the cooldown or complete a Random Mission.
But now, a cooldown of one year was still something he could afford to wait out.
In this simulation, he had basically figured out the general situation of the Qingxuan Realm.
At present, the strongest eldritch being in the Qingxuan Realm that he had seen was at the Immortal Lord Realm. Of course, that was only the strongest battle power he had personally encountered. As for whether there were even stronger members of the Eldritch Race hidden in the shadows, Su Ming had no way of knowing.
And in this simulation, by the twentieth year, he had come only one step short of leaving the Qingxuan Realm.
Su Ming knew that even though it was only that final step, actually taking it would still require tremendous effort.
The next day.
Su Ming woke Xuanyuan Tianji, who had been resting with her eyes closed.
“Let’s go! Last night, I used the Heavenly Secrets Art to make a rough deduction of the situation in the Qingxuan Realm!”
“The Qingxuan Realm?”
When Xuanyuan Tianji heard that this was the Qingxuan Realm, her brows lifted slightly.
“It seems that in a single night, you learned quite a lot about the Qingxuan Realm.”
From Su Ming’s expression, Xuanyuan Tianji guessed a few things.
After all, having been with him for so long in the Canglan Realm, she was already quite familiar with some of Su Ming’s abilities.
“Come on. I’ll tell you everything along the way!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Ming led Xuanyuan Tianji into the portal created by the Great Void Technique.
Su Ming took Xuanyuan Tianji all the way toward the Ancient Emperor Ruins.
Along the way, Su Ming told Xuanyuan Tianji some things about the Qingxuan Realm.
“The Eldritch Race?”
After hearing about the Eldritch Race, Xuanyuan Tianji looked down at the land below with a grave expression.
If the Bizarre Insect Clan in the Dead Land of the Canglan Realm was a coincidence, and the Bizarre Immortal Race in the Immortal Domain of the Canglan Realm was also a coincidence, then with the Eldritch Race of the Qingxuan Realm added on top of that, all of it taken together could no longer possibly be a coincidence.
Only at this moment did Xuanyuan Tianji realize the gravity of the situation.
She began to worry about the state of the Weiyang Immortal Realm.
Ever since awakening within the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, everything she had encountered had gone beyond the bounds of her understanding.
The Great Thousand Worlds of today were no longer the Great Thousand Worlds she had once known.
In the Great Thousand Worlds of today, the status of the Human Race had plummeted. All kinds of eldritch races held sway, treating humans as Blood Prey and raising them like livestock.
A sudden thought struck her. Could the Weiyang Immortal Realm also have been occupied by the eldritch beings, just like the Qingxuan Realm?
At that thought, Xuanyuan Tianji quietly clenched her fists.
She now needed to raise her cultivation even further.
While using the Great Void Technique, Su Ming happened to notice Xuanyuan Tianji’s unusual reaction.
Two months later!
This time, because Su Ming already knew the Ancient Emperor Ruins from the memories, it took him only two months to reach them.
Su Ming led Xuanyuan Tianji into the outskirts of the Ancient Emperor Ruins, namely the Hope Zone where Chen Shu was located.
The moment they entered the Hope Zone, a figure blocked their path.
“Stop right there!”
Chen Shu looked at the two of them warily.
“Who are you? Which faction do you belong to?”
Seeing the familiar Chen Shu before him, Su Ming revealed a friendly smile.
“We ascended from the Lower Realm. We arrived in the Qingxuan Realm less than three months ago.”
When Chen Shu heard that they had ascended from the Lower Realm, her expression froze in shock.
“You actually came from the Lower Realm?”
“This is not the place to talk. I’ll take you into the Seventh Hope Zone first.”
Chen Shu said nothing more. After confirming that Su Ming and Xuanyuan Tianji were both human, she decisively brought them into the Hope Zone.
After entering the Hope Zone, Chen Shu arranged two residences for them.
Su Ming was extremely familiar with those two residences. In the simulation, he had lived there for several years, until Heavenly Emperor City destroyed the Hope Zone.
After arranging their lodging, Chen Shu prepared to tell Su Ming about the Qingxuan Realm.
“You should never have ascended!”
