“Activate it!”
WHOOSH—Su Ming’s cultivation instantly broke through to the Immortal Realm, but he quickly suppressed it.
With the experience he had gained in the simulation, Su Ming knew that he had to keep a low profile right now.
Fortunately, cultivation infused through the Simulator would not produce a heavenly phenomenon.
“The cooldown has finally changed from one year to three years.”
Seeing this, everything was more or less as Su Ming had guessed before.
After he broke through to the Immortal Realm, the Simulator’s cooldown would change. As for how it would change, he had not known before.
However, after seeing that the cooldown was three years, Su Ming could still accept it.
Three years was not long, but it was not exactly short either.
“There is one more thing...”
In this simulation, Su Ming had discovered a potential crisis, and he did not know whether this point was a blessing or a disaster for him.
Su Ming remembered that in the simulation, Wuji Heavenly Venerable had once said something to him, warning him to be careful of something.
Through the experience inside the Simulator, Su Ming had also deduced what Wuji Heavenly Venerable wanted him to be careful of.
“The Sword Emperor’s remnant soul...”
As he spoke, Su Ming narrowed his eyes slightly.
In the Simulator, Su Ming himself had thought for a very long time. In his Soul Sea, there was only Wuji Heavenly Venerable. If he had to name anything else, then there was also the Sword Emperor’s remnant soul.
This Sword Emperor’s remnant soul was something he had learned about through the Simulator’s description when he drew the talent—Sword Emperor’s Successor.
However, what Su Ming had not expected was that during the simulation, this Sword Emperor’s remnant soul had actually devoured Wuji Heavenly Venerable.
Just then, Wuji Heavenly Venerable’s voice suddenly rang out in Su Ming’s mind.
“Little friend! You must be careful...”
Before he could finish speaking, Wuji Heavenly Venerable’s voice vanished.
This sudden scene caught Su Ming completely off guard.
This familiar scene, this familiar voice—Su Ming knew them all too well.
“Damn it!”
“How could this happen?”
“How could it happen so quickly?”
No matter how Su Ming thought about it, he could not understand why the future had changed.
In the Simulator, the time when the Sword Emperor’s remnant soul devoured Wuji Heavenly Venerable was not now at all.
Just now, he had still been thinking about how to help Wuji Heavenly Venerable avoid this calamity, whether he should quickly find a way for Wuji Heavenly Venerable to reconstruct his Fleshly Body, or perhaps have him reside in another Immortal Artifact.
Yet now, before Su Ming could do anything, Wuji Heavenly Venerable had already fallen.
It was as if there were a pair of eyes behind him, watching his every thought and action at all times.
The moment he wanted to help Wuji Heavenly Venerable, Wuji Heavenly Venerable was devoured in the next instant.
If someone said this was a coincidence, Su Ming would never believe it, even if he died.
“Sword Emperor! Come out!”
“Get out here!”
“I know you are here! You are staying inside my body, yet you still dare to be so dishonest!”
“Get out!”
Standing inside the wooden cabin, Su Ming roared at the empty air again and again.
At this moment, Su Ming was truly furious.
With such a great being inside his body, he faced a fatal threat at every moment.
He would not allow such a threat to exist inside him.
...
Outside the wooden cabin, Chen Shu, who had been resting, was suddenly awakened by Su Ming’s voice from inside the cabin.
Chen Shu thought something had happened and immediately rushed into Su Ming’s wooden cabin.
In the end, Chen Shu saw Su Ming roaring at the empty air alone, as though he were venting the nameless rage in his heart.
“Su Ming? What happened to you?”
After hearing Chen Shu’s voice beside him, Su Ming gradually calmed down.
After a long while, Su Ming exhaled a turbid breath and slowly spoke.
“It is nothing. I simply thought of something unpleasant while cultivating just now.”
“Rest for a day. We will return tomorrow.”
When Chen Shu heard Su Ming say that they would return tomorrow, she could not help widening her eyes.
“Wh-what? We are going back tomorrow?”
“Is there a problem?”
Su Ming frowned slightly and looked into Chen Shu’s eyes.
After Chen Shu met Su Ming’s firm gaze, she forcibly swallowed the words that had just reached her lips.
“All right.”
Chen Shu left Su Ming’s wooden cabin and went outside.
Immediately afterward, Chen Shu sent a Voice Transmission to Chen Tian, telling him that he did not need to come over anymore. They would head back the next day.
...
The next day!
Su Ming brought Chen Shu along and used the Great Void Technique. In less than a month, they returned to the Ancient Emperor Ruins.
After they entered the Hope Zone, Chen Tian had already been waiting for a long time.
Chen Tian had just been about to ask Su Ming something, but Su Ming glared him back with a single look.
“If you have any questions, ask Chen Shu. I am tired.”
Before his words had even finished, Su Ming disappeared from where he stood and appeared in front of Xuanyuan Tianji’s wooden cabin.
With a creak, the wooden door opened, and Xuanyuan Tianji’s voice came from inside the room.
“Is the matter finished?”
Su Ming nodded, gave a soft hum of acknowledgment, and then walked into the room.
“Judging from your expression, did something happen?”
After Su Ming heard this, he thought it over again and again in his heart. In the end, he told her everything.
Su Ming told Xuanyuan Tianji that he had obtained a Sword Emperor inheritance and cultivated an extremely powerful Sword Dao Divine Power. However, it also had one drawback: the Sword Emperor’s remnant soul had entered his Soul Sea and hidden itself there.
“The Sword Emperor’s remnant soul?”
After hearing that it involved the Sword Emperor, Xuanyuan Tianji’s brows knitted tightly together.
If this were an ordinary remnant soul, it would still be easy to resolve. However, once an Immortal Emperor was involved, the problem became especially troublesome.
An Immortal Emperor, as one of the most supreme cultivators in the Great Thousand Worlds, was already far beyond what living beings at their level could imagine.
The methods of an Immortal Emperor were all-encompassing. No one knew what sort of methods this Sword Emperor’s remnant soul truly possessed.
After pondering for a long while, Xuanyuan Tianji spoke.
“According to what you said, the other party has not acted against you yet. For the time being, you do not need to worry.”
“If the other party wanted to act against you and possess your body, you would have no strength to resist at all.”
“As for him devouring Wuji Heavenly Venerable...”
“Perhaps that was an instinctive action. He may not have awakened yet, and when he sensed a primordial spirit that could restore his own, he directly devoured it.”
After hearing Xuanyuan Tianji’s explanation, Su Ming’s expression became even uglier.
He did not think that what Xuanyuan Tianji said was necessarily correct.
Because in Su Ming’s view, this Sword Emperor’s remnant soul definitely had consciousness. Otherwise, it absolutely would not have devoured Wuji Heavenly Venerable at this exact point in time.
After asking repeatedly, Xuanyuan Tianji still had no way to help him resolve the problem of the Sword Emperor’s remnant soul.
Helpless, Su Ming could only place all his hope on the Simulator.
Su Ming believed that as long as he continued simulating, it did not matter even if he died in the simulations. As long as he kept exploring within them, he would eventually find a solution.
