Chapter 48: Simulation Ends, Sect Annihilation!
You burned your lifespan, your body, and your soul.
You died.
Simulation ended.
“What a pity. I didn’t get to see the power of that final sword. I wonder if it could have slain those three Spirit Transformation cultivators.”
Ye Xiao looked at the System indicating the simulation had ended, and could not help but sigh.
Then he began to inherit everything from the simulation.
“Obtained Golden Core ninth-layer cultivation.”
“Obtained third-layer Heavenly Lightning Body-Refining Art.”
“Obtained an Immortal-rank cultivation art, the Boundless Longevity Art!”
“Obtained a rankless cultivation art, the Taixu Spirit-Refining Art.”
“Obtained twenty years of formation comprehension, fourth-rank formation, the Five Elements Phantom Spirit Formation.”
“Obtained the storage bags of four Nascent Soul stage cultivators.”
“Obtained one Spirit Transformation stage storage ring.”
“Obtained Perfection Realm Startled Swan Sword Art, Perfection Realm Blood Escape Art, Breath-Concealing Art, and the Palm Strike from the Heavens.”
“Obtained Earth-rank lower-grade Soul-Refining Banner, Earth-rank lower-grade Azure Dragon Spear...”
“Obtained twenty years of cultivation comprehension.”
“Obtained twenty years of simulation memories.”
After Ye Xiao finished digesting the full inheritance from this simulation, he could not help but let out a long sigh.
His gaze turned toward True Person Zidan’s cave residence. It was time for revenge!
Matters of revenge still have to be handled by oneself!
In the next instant, Ye Xiao’s figure vanished, appearing before True Person Zidan.
Ye Xiao subjected True Person Zidan to every kind of torment, and on the verge of death tossed him to Shangguan Lan, having Shangguan Lan finish him off!
Afterward, Ye Xiao took out the Soul-Refining Banner, collected the dead True Person Zidan’s soul into the banner, and lit a heavenly lamp with the soul!
Day after day, he would endure the agony of soul refinement!
If I knew how to refine pills, I would refine you into one! Ye Xiao thought.
He waved his large hand, and Ye Xiao appeared outside the Azure Cloud Sect’s gates with the three people.
“Go. The farther you go, the better, because this place is about to become a graveyard!”
Ye Xiao looked at the three before him and said indifferently. All three had third-layer Qi Refinement cultivation. As long as they could escape, they would not run into danger.
At these words, the two men bowed to Ye Xiao and turned to leave quickly. Only Shangguan Lan remained frozen in place, dazed, not moving.
Ye Xiao lowered his head and glanced at Shangguan Lan, sighing inwardly. A simulation was ultimately just a simulation. Even with the memories, it was not reality.
Involuntarily, Ye Xiao reached out and rubbed Shangguan Lan’s head.
Shangguan Lan’s body trembled. She suddenly dropped to her knees, and said in a timid voice, “This humble one has no home to return to. I wish to take Senior as my Master. I beg Senior to take me in!”
Ye Xiao looked at the scene before him, one that seemed so familiar, and for a time did not know what to say.
After a long silence, Ye Xiao still passed the Shangguan family’s ancestral cultivation art to Shangguan Lan.
This was what she deserved!
At the same time, he also took out enough resources to cultivate Shangguan Lan to the Golden Core stage, several spiritual tools, and several cultivation arts.
“Go. If fate allows, you and I will meet again. At that time, I will take you as my disciple!”
Shangguan Lan knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times toward Ye Xiao, clutched the storage bag in her hands, and turned to leave.
“Master, goodbye!”
After seeing off Shangguan Lan, Ye Xiao turned to look at the Azure Cloud Sect. It was time to settle this once and for all!
An evil-path sect — everyone in the cultivation world had to kill them on sight!
...
“Something terrible has happened! True Person Zidan has been killed!”
“What?”
“How could that possibly be!”
“The entire sect is under lockdown! No one is permitted to enter or leave!”
“Boom————!”
“The sect grand formation has been breached!!!”
Three figures shot into the sky. Looking at the protective grand formation gradually collapsing, everyone found it impossible to believe.
“Quick, go request the Ancestor to come out of seclusion!”
The entire Azure Cloud Sect fell into chaos. The Azure Cloud Sect’s Sect Master turned to request the Spirit Transformation stage Ancestor to emerge.
Just then, a strange energy enveloped the entire Azure Cloud Sect.
The Azure Cloud Sect’s Sect Master, a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, suddenly froze. He actually fell straight down from the sky.
At this moment, the entire Azure Cloud Sect, from top to bottom, was covered by Ye Xiao’s fourth-rank Five Elements Phantom Spirit Formation. Everyone had fallen into an illusion.
Ye Xiao moved as if he were in an unguarded land, strolling leisurely over to the side of the Azure Cloud Sect’s Sect Master.
The Azure Cloud Sect’s Sect Master seemed to sense something. His body abruptly trembled, as if about to break free from the illusion.
Ye Xiao struck fiercely, one punch blowing the Azure Cloud Sect’s Sect Master’s head apart!
When the Nascent Soul left the body, another punch blasted out, directly exploding it!
A dignified Sect Master of a generation, dead just like that, for no apparent reason.
Even at the point of death, Ye Xiao did not know what this person’s name was.
The Five Elements Phantom Spirit Formation covered the entire Azure Cloud Sect, so its control over Nascent Soul stage cultivators was not as strong.
With the slightest carelessness, it was possible for them to break through the illusion.
To avoid trouble, Ye Xiao took the initiative to strike, slaying each and every Nascent Soul stage cultivator present, one by one!
Ye Xiao extended his hand, and the Earth-rank lower-grade Soul-Refining Banner appeared. Over ten thousand living souls possessing cultivation emerged, sweeping across the entire Azure Cloud Sect!
The Azure Cloud Sect’s Outer Sect disciples, Inner Sect disciples, and Golden Core Elders, over ten thousand people in total, lost their lives one by one beneath the Soul-Refining Banner!
In the end, Ye Xiao even collected all the souls of these dead cultivators into the Soul-Refining Banner, using them to strengthen it.
Having absorbed the souls of so many high-rank cultivators, the Soul-Refining Banner in Ye Xiao’s hand actually rose by a full minor grade.
From Earth-rank lower-grade, it rose to Earth-rank middle-grade!
Although it was only a small improvement, its power skyrocketed!
After all, those few Spirit Transformation stage Ancestors earlier had only been using Earth-rank middle-grade treasures.
Yet Ye Xiao, at the Golden Core stage, already possessed a treasure that only Spirit Transformation stage powerhouses could possess.
“I never imagined that wiping out this sect would come with an unexpected delight!” Ye Xiao smiled faintly. After sensing the power of the Earth-rank middle-grade treasure, he put it into his storage ring.
Taking out the Azure Cloud Sect’s Sect Master token, Ye Xiao arrived at the Azure Cloud Sect’s Treasure Pavilion.
Following the principle of since I’m already here, Ye Xiao also wanted to see for himself just what the Azure Cloud Sect’s cultivation arts were like.
His Nascent Soul stage divine sense swept through. Ye Xiao failed to discover any particularly special cultivation art, so he headed straight for the top floor.
Taking out the Sect Master token, Ye Xiao entered smoothly.
“Who goes there!”
Only then did he see that on the top floor, a woman was cultivating. The earlier commotion of the sect’s destruction had not disturbed this person in the slightest.
Looking at the just-arrived Ye Xiao, Bai Ruoxi frowned and said, “Did I not tell your Sect Master not to come disturb my cultivation?”
At these words, Ye Xiao sized up this woman. A black robe wrapped around those proud curves, cold as frost. The exposed skin was white tinged with red.
Sure enough, no cultivator who had cultivated to a certain realm was ever unattractive!
Seeing that you did not answer for a long time, Bai Ruoxi also clicked into place that something was wrong. She quietly placed her right hand behind her back, staring fixedly at you, and said again.
“Where is your Sect Master? Hurry and have your Sect Master come see me!”
Ye Xiao did not take the risk. He cupped his hands and took his leave.
To be able to order Nascent Soul stage cultivators around like servants, this woman’s background is definitely not simple!
For safety’s sake, I’d best wait until tomorrow when the Simulator’s cooldown recovers, and investigate thoroughly inside the simulation!
