127: Seeking a way to survive and building the foundation of the fifth level

After Gu Yuchuan stepped out of the Heavenly Palace, he found his two sworn brothers waiting for him anxiously. He nodded slightly, and neither of them asked what had happened inside.

First, they could guess a bit—it was about the Different Realm. Second, since the Demon Venerable had asked them to leave, it meant the matter was confidential and not for them to know. It was best not to pry, or their end would surely be unpleasant; having lived this long, they understood this much.

Once they reached the outskirts of the Cloud Sea Marsh, the three of them had to part ways. After all, these two demons had duties at the front lines and could not stay in the Cloud Sea Marsh for long.

As the three of them stood there, the Black Tortoise Demon General spoke first. "Third Brother, the two of us will take our leave now. No matter what task Demon Venerable Majesty has given you, do it well and watch your safety. If you need any help, don't worry about being a bother; just tell us, and we will definitely do our best to assist you."

After he finished, the Ink Scale Demon General also nodded heavily. After this incident, they truly felt like brothers. Gu Yuchuan didn't stand on ceremony and patted their shoulders.

"Don't worry, we are sworn brothers. If I really need your help with something, I will definitely say so. I don't need anything for now, but at the front lines, I actually do have one thing I need help with. Please look after my subordinate, Pei Yu. She is a subordinate I am putting great effort into cultivating in Bright Stream, and I don't want anything to happen to her."

This was a small matter for them, so they naturally agreed easily. After exchanging a few more pleasantries, they directly departed.

Gu Yuchuan first went to Linlang Pavilion to take a look. Although the business here couldn't compare to when it first opened, it still sold a few things every day and was constantly making money. Gu Yuchuan replenished the stock with some Spiritual Artifacts and top-grade magic tools he had on hand, then returned to the Flood Dragon Palace. There were too many things on his mind.

This trip to the Canglan Realm sounded extremely dangerous, not to mention he had just killed a Cultivator from there. Their end might very well be his own future end. He didn't want that; he was unwilling. He sat on his bed with a frown, not even climbing into his blankets. He even neglected his favorite bedding, showing how troubled he was.

Fortunately, he had the simulator. No matter how dangerous the trip to the Different Realm was, he could find a way out. He didn't believe his future held only a dead end.

At this moment, Bai Li knocked on the door again. With a wave of his hand, Gu Yuchuan let Bai Li in.

Bai Li's expression was very anxious, and a thin layer of sweat had even formed on his forehead. "Great King, things are bad. Your Luck has suddenly become much thicker, but a layer of black Qi is entwined around it. This is a situation of near-certain death! I tried to find a way out for you, but as soon as the thought arose, I felt as if lightning would strike me. It is fate itself preventing me."

"Near-certain death..." Gu Yuchuan slowly muttered those words. He looked up at Bai Li.

"You mean, I have a chance of survival this time?"

His voice was very solemn, which momentarily stunned Bai Li. He couldn't believe his Great King was looking at it from such a strange angle, but he still nodded.

Gu Yuchuan let out a sigh of relief. Great. As long as there was a way to live, he would surely find the right answer through a large number of Simulations.

"Great King, as long as you can overcome this tribulation, you will receive immense benefits. Although I don't know what those benefits are, this is definitely accurate."

Gu Yuchuan nodded. "Alright, I understand. You may go back. I have a plan now. Keep this matter to yourself and don't tell anyone. Do you understand?"

Bai Li immediately nodded rapidly. "Rest assured, Great King, my lips are sealed. I won't say a word about your affairs. I guarantee no one will know." With that, he left, leaving Gu Yuchuan alone in the room.

Although Bai Li hadn't seemed to say much during this visit, he had actually given Gu Yuchuan a lot of strength. At the very least, he now knew that survival was possible. That was enough; he would definitely find that possibility.

He got up and took a comfortable hot bath, then lit a stick of sandalwood and prepared to start the Simulation. He knew it would be hard to find a way out in just one or two tries, but he had many Spirit Stones. Exchanging them for ten Simulations wouldn't be a problem. He refused to believe that he couldn't find a way to live in ten tries; if so, he would be too foolish.

[Congratulations to the Host for starting the twenty-second Simulation. Talent extraction will now begin.]

[Ring, ring, ring! The alarm is sounding. A reminder to the Host: remember to wash your hands before drawing cards.]

He skipped this part directly. After all, he had already done these things and didn't need to do them again. He just started drawing cards to see what he would get this time. With so many attempts, he was bound to get some good talents.

[White Talent: Scale Reinforcement; White Talent: Swiftness; White Talent: Sturdiness.]

Fine, fine, fine. Hadn't he seen these three talents a bit too often? It was a bad start, but he was used to it. He randomly chose one and began his cultivation.

[Day 1: You consume a yuhua pill. Your cultivation is very close to the Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer, but you have run out of Medicinal Pills and need to buy more. You remember that there is still an Azure Bird Demon General on your little hit list—this Alchemist. You decide to kill him before going to the Canglan Realm.]

[Day 2: You use a ruse to lure him out and kill the Azure Bird Demon General. You obtain many Medicinal Pills and Pill Formulas. You keep the pills and give the formulas to Yu Linglong, believing her Alchemists will improve rapidly.]

[Day 3: Using a large number of Spirit Stones and Medicinal Pills, you finally become a Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer Cultivator. Your combat power has further improved, and you are very happy.]

[Day 4: You receive news from the Demon Venerable and head to the Cloud Sea Heavenly Palace. The Demon Venerable gives you many life-saving items, and you are teleported to the Canglan Realm. Upon landing, you are discovered by Skynet surveillance. Your Immortal Dao methods cause you to be immediately placed on the wanted list.]

[Day 5: You use invisibility and Soaring on Clouds and Riding the Mist to constantly evade. However, let alone finding the Child of Destiny, you can't even manage to hide. You are constantly being pursued.]

[Day 6: After hiding for an entire day, you are eventually killed.]

Sigh. He let out a long sigh. Although this attempt was very unsuccessful, it was within his expectations.
