Gathering Information

Um?

The electronic voice in his mind made Xiao Ming's eyes widen in surprise, and he felt a surge of joy.

His path to growth is inextricably linked to the Life Simulator. Although the latter helps him less and less as his level increases, its role cannot be denied.

It's certainly good news that it's been upgraded and reloaded; the 2.0 version of the Life Simulator will likely be even better.

Of course, Xiao Ming didn't get too excited and forget about the present situation.

Suppressing his surging emotions, he first stopped the Simulator from ringing in his mind, then looked at Miss Jing and said.

"Of course, I'm aware of the problem you mentioned, but we still need to ask for clues. It's okay if you don't know them."

"Just tell me their names, and let me see if I've heard of them before." Miss Jing reached out and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.

"I have three companions in total, named Mysterious Emperor Xiao Xuan, Dragon Emperor Zhu Kun, and Di Dan."

"Are these three Master's companions? I've never heard Master mention them before."

As Xiao Ming spoke, Qing Tan behind him blinked curiously.

"Your companions all have the character 'Emperor' in their nicknames, does that mean you have one too?" Miss Jing curiously upon hearing these names.

"My master's nickname is Heavenly Emperor, isn't that imposing?" Qing Tan, who had been muttering to herself, immediately looked up and said proudly upon hearing this.

Mu Feng and the others standing to the side were filled with awe; this title alone was extraordinary.

"That's truly impressive!"

Miss Jing nodded in agreement. She thought of the Nine Ancient Emperors, one of whom was known as the Heavenly Emperor. He unified the Heavenly Net Continent, which was one of the Ten Super Continents, and founded the Ancient Heavenly Palace. His cultivation level was that of a peak expert in the late stage of the Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereign.

Unfortunately, not long after the Ancient Heavenly Palace was established, the Outer Realm Evil Tribe launched a large-scale invasion of the Great Thousand World. This Heavenly Emperor, along with his small Ancient Heavenly Palace, perished in the battle against the Outer Realm Evil Tribe. It is unknown whether the Heavenly Emperor before us can achieve the same level of success.

However, reaching the Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereign is not easy. Even though her family is at the pinnacle of the Great Thousand, they currently only have one Saint-grade mid-stage expert.

Xiao Ming had no idea that the girl before him had so many thoughts, and simply said, "It's just an empty reputation. Miss Jing, have you heard of my companions?"

"No, no," Miss Jing answered decisively.

"Perhaps you can provide more information, such as their race or something. Judging from their names, they probably aren't all human."

Xiao Ming nodded in agreement, "Of these three, the Mysterious Emperor is my ancestor, and as for the Dragon Emperor, his true form is that of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan the Void, and his Di Dan Core..."

After a pause, Xiao Ming continued, "The Di Dan is the manifestation of the highest-grade pill in our plane."

After pondering for a long time, Miss Jing finally shook her head.

"I haven't heard of it. It seems their landing point in the Great Thousand World isn't nearby. Otherwise, that Di Dan alone would have attracted many powerful figures to fight over it. But the Hundred Spirits Continent is still relatively peaceful, and there's no news of this."

Looking at Xiao Ming before her, who had easily dealt with the Boundless Old Ancestor even without Spirit Qi, Miss Jing could tell that those who had entered the Great Thousand World ahead of time were no ordinary experts; at the very least, they were several Earth Sovereign.

This level of elixir is still effective during the weakened state; such a good thing would make even the strongest people in the Great Thousand World go crazy.

The Spiritual Energy Tribulation is unavoidable; the Medicinal Fragrance dissipates, and there's no escaping it.

She would definitely know if she happened to be there.

"Never heard of it?"

Xiao Ming wasn't too surprised. He had located the Great Thousand World based on Qing Tan's location, so it was normal that he didn't land at the same location as Xiao Xuan and the others.

In the original Timeline, Xiao Yan landed in the Great Thousand in the Little Western Heavenly Realm. Perhaps he could go there and take a look?

Of course, you can try it out with Simulator beforehand; you might get the answer directly.

Thinking this, Xiao Ming thanked him and then led Qing Tan out of the camp.

Watching the two figures disappear into the forest, Miss Jing's eyes flickered for a moment before she also stepped into the woods.

Mu Feng watched as Miss Jing chased after her, feeling a pang of sadness, but he remained silent. He wasn't stupid; all the signs indicated that Miss Jing was no ordinary woman.

He deeply felt the gap between himself and Miss Jing.

"Master, that girl is catching up..."

Following behind Xiao Ming, Qing Tan tugged at his sleeve.

"I know." Xiao Ming turned around and paused.

After waiting for a moment, Miss Jing's gentle figure emerged from the woods.

Looking at Xiao Ming and Qing Tan in front of her, Miss Jing was not surprised; it was perfectly normal for them to discover her, given their cultivation levels.

Under their gazes, she lowered her head, looking somewhat shy like a demure young wife, and hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Thank you for saving my life before. Also, may I stay with you for a while?"

"Give me a reason." Xiao Ming glanced at her.

"I believe you've sensed it too, my current level is just a result of damage to my strength. Once I recover, I can help you find your companions. To some extent, I still have some connections in this Great Thousand World."

Miss Jing said that this was undoubtedly her weakest moment. She might not have cared before, but after what happened with the Boundless Old Ancestor, she felt it was necessary to find someone to protect her.

Without human protection, even if one doesn't return to a human city from the wild, it's still not considered safe.

The Hundred Spirits Continent is too remote; her influence doesn't extend to this remote corner at all. Even if she leaves the Northern Spirit Plains, she can't be guaranteed safe protection immediately.

Moreover, now that she has lost all her cultivation, she is not very willing to trust her family. Although the Secret Realm was strange and dangerous, normally it should not have caused such a severe injury to a powerful Earthly Sovereign Great Perfection.

She was ambushed; the materials in the Spirit Array were tampered with. The person who did this was clearly after her life, and it's very likely that a high-ranking member of her family colluded with high-ranking members of other families to cause this.

She was very worried that if she sent a message to her family, she might be met not with rescue, but with unknown pursuit. So she did not plan to contact her family until she regained her ability to protect herself. In that case, the person in front of her was the most suitable.

This person could see that her strength was diminished, yet she didn't harbor any ill intentions; clearly, she was someone trustworthy.

Miss Jing did not receive an answer immediately; the silence lasted for a while before she finally heard someone speak.

"May I have your name?"

Miss Jing was overjoyed, realizing that he had already agreed.

My name is Qing Jing.

"Qing Jing? I think your name should be Qing Yanjing!"

Xiao Ming thought to himself with a hint of annoyance, "It's all about the Boundless Old Ancestor, Mu Feng, and Miss Jing. I already guessed it, but the restarted Simulator had just disrupted my thoughts."

However, since Qing Yanjing didn't want to reveal her real name, he didn't care and simply nodded.

"My name is Xiao Ming, and this is my second disciple, Qing Tan. From now on, you will stay by our side."
