142: Come back to life, my landlord!!

Meng Yun opened his eyes in the hotel.

“…”

“Putting aside everything else, that heaven-shaking sword strike before death should have been enough to slay Saint Wuji, right?”

Following his usual routine after returning, Meng Yun leaped out of bed, stretched his body, and then rushed into the bathroom.

In the toilet, he played the role of a thinker.

“The Demon World, Hard Mode, is truly no joke.”

Meng Yun nodded in contemplation.

Initially, his style was relatively normal.

But from the moment he stepped into Xuanwu Heaven and began to clash with Saint Huang, everything developed in unpredictable directions.

Integration, Tribulation Crossing, Mahayana—they emerged one after another.

If he hadn't had the cheat provided by the Simulator, he might have ended his run early at Saint Youque!

“My strength, my strength is still too weak…”

Ten minutes later, Meng Yun left the bathroom.

He brought up the Simulator panel:

“As a maiden cauldron, you harbor great ambitions; how can a true man remain beneath others for long? Thus, you are always above her. Shangguan Qing is equally unwilling to be outdone, and you are evenly matched, in perfect harmony.”

“Your barbecue skills are in a league of their own, bringing immense improvement to countless people. In the final battle, your barbecue even triggered a Heaven and Earth phenomenon, and the Great Dao resonated.”

“With the body of a timid cauldron, you slaughtered all in Xuanwu Heaven, striking fear into everyone. Relying on various shameless boosts, you even managed to completely slay a Mahayana cultivator in the end.”

“But you failed to save the Immortal Sect, nor did you provide crucial assistance to the Xuanwu Heaven battlefield. Some were saved by you, some died because of you. Saving all sentient beings, how difficult it is!”

“Simulator level settlement in progress.”

“Your final evaluation level is S.”

“You have gained achievements.”

“Achievement One: Grill God (Gold)”

Your barbecue skills have reached the pinnacle; no one can surpass you. A hundredfold amplification is merely a flick of the wrist. You even comprehended the Heaven and Earth Smelting Furnace Fire from barbecue, mastering the method of grasping all things in the world and refining them instantly.

“Achievement Two: Come Here for a Buff (Red)”

Transformation Spirit Peak is merely a mid-tier combat force; according to common sense, it should be instantly killed by a powerful cultivator with a single finger.

You defied the heavens, using countless methods to amplify your combat power, defeating Integration, slaying Tribulation Crossing, and destroying Mahayana, which is truly astonishing.

“Achievement Three: Immortal Sword Hero (Red)”

You are the Immortal Sect's sole surviving genius peak master. You witnessed the destruction of the Immortal Sect and the cohesion and combat power unleashed by the Immortal Sect's masters and disciples during times of life and death.

Your magnificent feat of commanding billions of long swords, wielding the power of rules to array-slay a late-stage Mahayana cultivator, will last forever, becoming the Immortal Sect's eternal Immortal Sword Hero.

“Achievement Four: Acquired Taste (Purple)”

Your body and Shangguan Qing's are incredibly harmonious and compatible. Although you spent little time together, you both found immense pleasure in each other, comprehending countless positions.

However, your simulation time is still short. Given time, you will surely be able to write books and establish a legacy based on this path.

“Achievement Five: A Barbecue Skewer-Induced Bloodbath (White)”

Because of your single barbecue skewer, Cang Xuanzi, Sect Leader's strength greatly increased, and after incurring the wrath of the Three Saints Palace, he became lost in Xuanwu Heaven. One action affected the whole situation; the Three Saints Palace split into two forces, one ambushing and the other raiding their home, leading to heavy casualties on both sides.

You are greatly to blame.

“My goodness, is this also my fault?” Meng Yun was speechless.

But, is that all?

The system seemed to know that Meng Yun was not entirely satisfied with this simulation result, so it did not continue to deduce the future of White Tiger Heaven.

Neither Shangguan Qing nor Wu Yinyao's futures were revealed in the achievements.

“System, rewards, where are the rewards?!” Meng Yun looked to the end and found nothing below!

“Replying to host, this system was just about to explain to you.”

“Given that this simulation was in the Demon World, Hard difficulty, the reward list and selectable upper limit will both increase by one after each simulation ends.”

“Your S-rank evaluation will be upgraded from choosing three out of five to choosing four out of six.”

“There’s such a good thing? System, this is the first time you’ve done something good! Hurry up and bring it on!” Meng Yun smiled.

He didn't expect such a pleasant surprise!

“Reward list has been issued.”

“Reward One: The peak cultivation of this simulation, Transformation Spirit Peak realm. Since the Seven-Colored Tribulation Lightning Dragon was refined during the breakthrough, it is included as a bonus.”

“Reward Two: Perfected Spirit Food Battle entry. Since the Heaven and Earth Smelting Furnace Fire was comprehended during the barbecue process, it is included as a bonus.”

“Reward Three: One ton of immortal bodhi spring.”

“Reward Four: World Rule—Sharpness (Evolvable). For the sake of physical and mental health, the upper limit of rule power will gradually unlock as the host's strength increases.”

“Reward Five: White Tiger Heaven's Ninth Avatar—Holy Ape Avatar.”

“Reward Six: Complete Yin Yang Harmony Art, unlocking two dual cultivation heroine limits, unlocking the second Dantian.”

Meng Yun: …

Speechless, my friends!

Can I not have the immortal bodhi spring anymore?!

He couldn't bear to throw away any of the remaining five!

Strength increase with a bonus Seven-Colored Tribulation Lightning Dragon, who wouldn't be confused by that?

Barbecue with a hundredfold critical hit buff, who wouldn't be confused after eating that?

Not to mention the Sharpness Rule, that's a World Rule!

And the Yin Yang Harmony Art, if Wu Yinyao and Shangguan Qing both came to the present world in the future, wouldn't he be able to say that classic line!

I seem to have come at the wrong time.

No, you've come at just the right time!!

…

After much thought, he could only give up the Holy Ape Avatar for now.

Great Sage form, goodbye.

“System, can we negotiate?” Meng Yun rubbed his hands, his face full of anticipation.

“No way!”

The system seemed to already know Meng Yun was up to no good and flatly refused to let him continue speaking.

“I want one more reward!” Meng Yun still spoke shamelessly.

“No way!”

“I’ll die for you to see!”

“Your life was saved by me.”

“Wuwuwu, give me a back door!”

“Sigh, there’s really nothing I can do with you~”

Meng Yun: “As expected, it’s still not possible… Huh?”

???

No way, you are a noble Simulator system!

He hadn't even exerted himself yet, so why did he surrender?

“The host can choose one desired reward to seal, to be placed in the prize pool for selection after the next simulation ends.”

Meng Yun: ?

What's the difference between this and not giving it at all?

If even a little more good stuff came out next time, this so-called sealing would still be for naught.

But Meng Yun already knew that at this moment, it was a rare concession made by the system.

He should quit while he's ahead.

After much deliberation, Meng Yun decided to temporarily seal the Yin Yang Harmony Art.

After all, at present, he had no girlfriend in the current world, and dual cultivation and the second Dantian seemed completely useless.

Immediately gaining skills and strength was the most crucial thing!

Seal it, seal it!

Out of sight, out of mind!

Having made up his mind, Meng Yun gritted his teeth and said, “Help me seal the Yin Yang Harmony Art, I don’t want the Holy Ape Avatar!”

“Okay, the Yin Yang Harmony Art has been sealed for the host. Automatically extracting rewards 1, 2, 3, 4.”

“Have fun, see you next time, Meng Yun.”

“Oh, and please reset this simulation result. I can no longer sense Nangong Jing's existence.”

Meng Yun murmured this.

Because of Tianjian Dynasty's actions, the Demon Subduing Sword replica shattered, which seemed to have brought a certain degree of impact to the current world.

First and foremost, that little girl Nangong Jing had disappeared. Perhaps without the Demon Subduing Sword's protection, she might have been directly worn away over ten thousand years.

“Okay, Meng Yun, your simulation result has been reset.”

Vaguely, Meng Yun felt that his system was becoming more and more intelligent.

A supreme will descended, and the four chosen rewards instantly came upon Meng Yun. At the same time, memories of Nangong Jing also resurfaced.

His cultivation in the immortal cultivation system surged to Transformation Spirit Peak, almost equivalent to his strength in the Arcane system.

In addition, other skills and items were also instantly credited.

“It’s time to resurrect Xu Yuan…”

“No, she’s not dead yet.”

“Children’s words carry no ill will, children’s words carry no ill will…”

In the current world, Meng Yun's body was still that of a young boy, so his words naturally carried no ill will!

Thinking this, Meng Yun flashed to 654 University and applied for an alchemy room.

Others refined pills; what he refined was a girl!

With a casual wave, the immortal bodhi spring was extracted by him.

The spring water appeared out of thin air, and a piece of crimson Demon Seed Flesh within it, upon seeing Meng Yun, swiftly flew towards him.

Meng Yun: ??

Why is there Demon Seed Flesh in the spring water!!

Could it be that when the system issued the reward, it kicked out Saint Xuanji but left the Demon Seed Flesh planted in her body?!
