Was It Really Her?
On the Lifeless Plain, amidst the Integrated Body Great Talent, how did Lu Ping, a mere Nascent Soul, manage to get involved?
After Lu Ping ventured deep into the Lifeless Plain, he wore the Formless Myriad-Breath Cloak the entire way, constantly circulating the Sha-Melting Art, and even using the As-If-Original Seal to erase any traces.
Along the way, not even a trace of Spiritual Qi was left behind.
So when was it that they were targeted?
The biggest weakness should be the Battle of Black Moon Gorge.
At that time, Lu Ping, with the help of the Star River Myriad Blades and various Trait, killed the Second Sha General him to overcome a higher level.
According to the simulation, at the same time that Black Moon Gorge was attacked, twenty-three Forward Outposts along the Sha-Suppressing Great Wall also suffered similar abnormal attacks.
Only Black Moon Gorge, this Forward Outpost, survived.
Therefore, from that moment on, Lu Ping was likely exposed.
But even if his approximate location is revealed, the Lifeless Plain so vast, how could the enemy pinpoint exactly where and where to ambush him?
The unusual nature of the heavenly tribulation naturally attracted attention as one reason.
Another reason is probably that the grade of the As-If-Original Seal Cultivation Method is not high enough.
Even in the face of a powerful cultivator at the Body Integration Realm, a top-grade Cultivation Method still leaves a faint Karmic Thread.
It seems that Lu Ping needs even stronger supernatural Divine Ability to confuse the Heavenly Secrets.
Lu Ping's fingers tapped repeatedly on the table.
That deadly scheme wasn't aimed at him at all.
Lu Ping was merely bait; the real target was the White Tiger Sword Lord.
There are definitely more than just Li Ling and the Golden Crow Demon Emperor, both at the Body Integration Realm, to deal with the White Tiger Sword Lord.
There should be at least one more powerful being, someone who is proficient in Heavenly Secrets and can shield the White Tiger Sword Lord's senses.
Only in this way could such a flawless trap be laid.
Three cultivators at the Body Integration Realm joined forces, all for the sake of killing the White Tiger Sword Lord.
Li Ling Lifeless Lord represents the Western Extremity Ruin Sha.
The Golden Crow Demon Emperor represents the Myriad Demon Domain.
Who does that powerful figure lurking in the shadows represent? A traitor within the Human Race? Or a high-ranking member of the Demon Race?
Or is there another force at play?
Lu Ping looked down at the Formless Myriad-Breath Cloak over his body.
The dark ink-colored cloak, with its sheer fabric concealing silver-gray patterns, was a striking design.
This Supreme Law Treasure was obtained from that Sha General in Black Moon Gorge.
Looking back now, it's possible that this thing also had a hidden feature left by that powerful being who could deduce the secrets of Heavenly Secrets.
As long as Lu Ping wears the Formless Myriad-Breath Cloak, he becomes a mobile locator.
No matter how Lu Ping tried to conceal himself with the As-If-Original Seal, his opponent could always find him through the Hidden Mechanism within the Law Treasure.
But...
Lu Ping's lips twitched slightly, revealing a faint, cold smile.
That's all in the Simulator.
They found Lu Xun, but what is his connection to Zhou Shuren (Lu Xun's real name)?
Now, the cloak has been materialized into reality by the system.
It transcends timelines and bridges the gap between reality and simulation.
All the causes and effects, the hidden Hidden Mechanism, and the Heavenly Secrets locks were erased by the system's power the instant the Law Treasure materialized.
The current Formless Myriad-Breath Cloak is completely clean.
Those powerful figures in the real world who are at the Body Integration Realm haven't even started tampering with the Formless Myriad-Breath Cloak yet.
No matter how hard you try, you could never have predicted that this cloak would be on him.
Moreover, Lu Ping had a vague feeling that, like the story of the Moon Palace Fire-Devouring Furnace, once he obtained it, there might not be another one like it in the real world.
As for why, Lu Ping couldn't explain it either.
But none of that matters.
What truly concerned Lu Ping was that final moment.
The White Light that the White Tiger Sword Lord unleashed.
That Spiritual Power protecting his Nascent Soul.
It felt somewhat familiar, and this wasn't the second time Lu Ping had encountered that kind of Spiritual Power.
Lu Ping's eyes darkened slightly.
Is it really you?
In several simulations, Lu Ping tried to clear his name of the cause and effect, but the entanglement only deepened.
This has attracted even more people to set up schemes around him, using him as bait to manipulate a larger game.
Is it truly a tangled mess that can't be untangled?
Including the Sword Talisman that helped him sever a Blood Seal on Li Ling, Jiang Mutian has helped him three times already.
Whether she did it intentionally or unintentionally.
Lu Ping, however, only sought a clear conscience.
Just then, Blue Light Screen suddenly appeared in front of Lu Ping.
[KPI Task Released--]
[You have successfully become the Greenwood Sect Master.]
[After experiencing the Big Companies, you've once again considered changing jobs.]
The annual salary of senior executives in Big Companies is higher than the annual revenue of Small Companies.
[You are still just a tiny ant in the Nascent Soul stage; you need a larger platform to develop yourself.]
[Workplace Advancement Mission: Join Great Sects in the Central Region.]
[Task Reward:]
[1. Fifth simulation attempt unlocked.]
[2, Number of times B-level or higher Trait were extracted * 1.]
[3. Add a Trait Slot.]
Lu Ping stared blankly at the words "Nascent Soul Ant" on the panel.
He is currently in the Nascent Soul Early Stage.
Within the entire Qingling Border Region, that would be the absolute pinnacle.
Let alone the Greenwood Sect, even if you tied all eight hundred sects in the Border Region together, they wouldn't be enough for him to fight with one hand.
Is this what you call an ant?
The system is determined to keep him permanently locked into the workplace.
He had barely settled into his new role as the legal representative of a small business when he was forced to return to Big Company in Central Region to continue working like a slave.
Lu Ping looked down.
Reward 2 is more generous than the previous KPI task reward, and includes the chance to draw Trait grade B or higher.
The second reward from last time was still a guaranteed C-level.
However, Lu Ping paused when he saw the third reward.
Reward 3: Add one more Trait Slot.
He currently has eighteen Trait Slots.
According to the system's rules, the Trait Slots will naturally increase with each major realm advancement.
The system now separately recognizes "adding Trait Slot" as a task reward.
What does this tell us?
Does the system believe that Lu Ping will be unable to break through to the Spirit Transformation Stage for a very long time?
The Spirit Transformation Stage requires a massive amount of Spirit Stones, Breakthrough Pills monopolized by High-Ranking Sects, and the leasing of Top-Grade Spirit Veins.
Under normal cultivation, the chances of him getting stuck at the Nascent Soul Realm were so high that even the system couldn't stand it anymore and gave him a welfare allowance ahead of schedule.
Lu Ping stared at the line of text and cursed inwardly.
Go to the Central Region.
The resources in the Qingling Border Region are insufficient to even support a Golden Core cultivator, let alone provide for a Nascent Soul True Lord like him to cultivate.
Even if you sold all of the Greenwood Sect's assets, including its people and land, you still wouldn't have enough to cover a fraction of the required resources.
This lousy class is something I absolutely have to attend.
