67: Seven times ended

[Over these years, you actually sensed that Zhong Linger had developed ulterior motives, which is why you were desperate to Breakthrough to the Supernatural Power Realm—otherwise, in another hundred years, you feared you would no longer be able to suppress her.]

[You just didn't expect that she had already been secretly plotting and was one step ahead of you.]

[Seeing your calm expression, Zhong Linger seemed unsurprised and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, asking, "You knew all along?"]

[You smiled slightly: "Having lived together for decades, I've seen every bit of change in you."]

[Zhong Linger laughed loudly: "Don't blame me for being heartless. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself—how can a mere piece of trash like you be worthy of me?"]

["It took you a hundred foundation establishment pills and three attempts just to barely succeed in your Foundation Establishment Breakthrough. With an Aptitude like yours, what future is there to speak of?"]

["Every time I think about a piece of trash like you having crawled on top of me, I feel disgusted."]

["With my talent and beauty, I will surely reach the Nascent Soul stage within two hundred years, while you would only be a stumbling block. It's better if you disappear early."]

[As she spoke, she leaned lightly against Immortal Master Yulong's shoulder and said softly, "Only a powerhouse like Immortal Master Yulong is worthy of me."]

[Immortal Master Yulong also spoke indifferently: "A Devil Head like you deserves to die. Just because Hall Master Jiang He said one thing about you, you took his life. If you were really allowed to Breakthrough to the Supernatural Power Realm, I'm afraid even I wouldn't escape death, right?"]

[You laughed at the sky: "What a facade of gold and jade, but rotten inside! You're just a minor concubine by my side, and you really think you're something?"]

["You delayed dismissing the other concubines just because you wanted me to indulge in beauty and have no mind to notice your ambition?"]

[You turned to look at Immortal Master Yulong, your voice dripping with sarcasm: "Yulong, do you really think she is loyal to you?"]

["Today she can betray me; in the future, if she meets someone stronger, you will just be the next stepping stone—"]

["Shut up!" Zhong Linger interrupted coldly, then said softly to Immortal Master Yulong, "Don't listen to his nonsense, he is clearly trying to sow discord!"]

[Immortal Master Yulong smiled faintly: "Don't worry, how can I be compared to this kind of trash? He's incompetent himself, yet he dares to try and put himself on the same level as a genius like me? Truly laughable."]

[Zhong Linger looked at you coldly and said chillingly, "Today, I will definitely tear you into ten thousand pieces."]

[You laughed heartily. Being able to see someone's true colors through one simulation, you felt it was—worth it.]

[In truth, your feelings for Zhong Linger were only physical and not emotional; if she had behaved herself, you might have given her a way out.]

[Now with this outcome, you actually felt quite satisfied.]

[Sure enough, the human heart is the thing that least withstands testing.]

[Her ambition eventually swelled, and she was unwilling to remain forever as an appendage to a 'trash' like you.]

[You also realized one point again: without absolute strength, daring to be a hands-off boss is simply seeking one's own destruction.]

[The Emperor Python, seeing this, also let out a strange laugh: "Jie jie jie, serves you right! Let's see if you'll still chase me? Since you have 'family matters' to handle, I won't disturb you, I'll take my leave first!"]

[After saying that, it turned to slip away.]

["Wait," Immortal Master Yulong suddenly spoke, gesturing to Zhong Linger, "Linger, stop the Emperor Python first; its demon core is useful to me."]

[Zhong Linger moved at his word, instantly flashing in front of the Emperor Python.]

[The Emperor Python immediately became nervous and had to quietly move closer to you, complaining in a low voice: "It's all your fault, you bastard, chasing me for ten days and nights, causing my magic power to be exhausted!"]

[You also secretly groaned in your heart—chasing for ten days had also consumed a lot of your true essence.]

[You knew this matter wouldn't end well today, and a flash of determination crossed your eyes.]

[You took a deep breath, the true essence in your body surged wildly, and you suddenly performed Subtle Steps of Ling Bo, your figure like a ghost closing in directly on Zhong Linger.]

["If you are unjust, don't blame me for being unrighteous!" You roared, channeling the Formless Divine Art to its limit, your true essence condensing into a giant golden Dragon, pouncing straight at Zhong Linger's face!]

[Zhong Linger hurriedly summoned an "Ice Soul Lotus" radiating cold air, and layers of ice walls instantly condensed in front of her—]

[It turned out she had an Ice Spiritual Root, no wonder Yang Yan gave her that box of "ice crystal snow pears" back then.]

[But you were, after all, at Heavenly Human Realm Perfection, your cultivation far exceeding her Early Golden Core Stage; the Dragon Subduing Tiger Taming Fist was incomparably fierce, and the ice walls shattered upon impact!]

[At that moment, Vast Emptiness Master controlled seventy-two "Purple Lightning Flying Swords" wreathed in lightning, which had already transformed into a giant lightning net to cover you!]

[Fairy Zhiyun also flipped her hand to take out a Treasure Mirror, which shot out a beam of Immobilizing Golden Light—]

[Immortal Master Yulong even swung a "Mountain Splitting Axe" entwined with dragon shadows, striking down at you with the force of splitting mountains and cutting peaks!]

[You sneered, your movement technique suddenly changed, and "Body Manifests Myriad Forms" instantly unfolded, hundreds of Clones scattering out, while your true body took advantage of this moment to once again approach Zhong Linger!]

["If I die, we die together!" You laughed madly as you reversed your entire true essence, and an heart-palpitating wave of destruction immediately surged from your body—]

["Not good! He's going to self-detonate!" Fairy Zhiyun cried out in alarm and retreated hastily!]

[Immortal Master Yulong and Vast Emptiness Master had already flashed far away.]

[Zhong Linger's face turned pale, and she desperately circulated her Golden Core to try and retreat—]

[But, it was already too late.]

[You grabbed her in a death grip, and the entire cultivation of your Heavenly Human Realm Perfection erupted at this moment—]

["Hahaha... you bitch, come with me!"]

[Blazing white light instantly swallowed both of you—]

[BOOM!!!]

[The explosion was earth-shattering, violent energy swept through the surroundings, a mushroom cloud rose into the sky, the ground was blasted into a ten-meter-deep crater, and the surrounding trees were instantly turned to ash!]

[As the dust gradually settled, only scorched earth and a pungent burnt smell remained in the deep crater.]

[You are dead!]

[The seventh simulation has ended.]

[Ding! Simulation ended, please choose a reward:]

[1. Personal Strength: Heavenly Human Realm Perfection, Early Stage Foundation Establishment, Illusionary Form Technique Perfection, Second Layer of the Yin Yang Five Elements Art.]

[2. External Items: 124,000 Spirit Stones, xuanling sword, Xuanling Shield, flowing cloud boat, Breath Concealing Shroud, light evasion talisman, blood red stone, White Identity Jade Pendant.]

[3. Special Rewards: Cultivation insights, combat experience, detailed memories.]

After dawn, Qin Chen slowly opened his eyes and immediately checked the simulation content.

As he flipped through it, he walked to the balcony's elegant seat and slumped down, casually brewing himself a cup of tea.

"Holy crap, why did the Yao Beast calamity happen early?"

"And that Female God of Slaughter... she's actually in Nanjiang City?"

Looking at the simulation content, Qin Chen only felt a chill run down his back.

"Where on earth did I offend that bitch?"

Until he saw the scene of that single palm strike wiping out a hundred thousand soldiers, Qin Chen suddenly understood—it was Marquis Wu and Yue Tianxiong leading the army to besiege the city that made her unhappy!

But what Qin Chen didn't know was that the real reason was actually Yue Tianxiong's sentence: "Sell all the women as slaves!"

"It seems I was too high-profile in destroying the City Lord's Manor, which led to the army besieging the city."

"Fortunately, I did this in the simulation."

"It seems I must leave Nanjiang City as soon as possible."

"Should I head to the Imperial Capital?"

Thinking about the journey to the Imperial Capital being several thousand kilometers away, he couldn't help but worry.

"As expected, I can't afford to be lazy at all; some hidden dangers must be resolved personally after all."

His hand unconsciously trembled slightly, causing tea to spill from the cup, but he didn't notice it at all.

In the end, in the face of reality, he was still scared to death.
