"Activate!"
Lu Chen's gaze sharpened as he silently muttered in his heart.
Ding! Future Life Simulator activated!
Future life simulation—
In the first year, you cultivated diligently and consecutively crossed the Heavenly Transformation Realm and Sky Passage Realm, arriving before the threshold of the Supreme Realm. You began preparing to break through to the Supreme Realm...
In the second year, you sought Nine Nether's help and obtained the Divine Wood Gang Lightning and Scarlet Flame Jade Marrow as you wished. You passed the Fleshly Body Tribulation and the Spiritual Energy Tribulation...
In the third year, you warned Nine Nether not to stand out too much while secretly concealing your own cultivation, publicly claiming that you were only at the First Grade Sovereign level. Though Nine Nether was puzzled, she still accepted your advice and decided to keep a low profile...
That year, Nine Nether did not attend the Nine Kings Meeting. After stabilizing her cultivation, she went out with you. You encountered no danger and left Da Luo Territory with ease...
Afterward, you arrived at the border between Da Luo Territory and Hundred Battles Territory. You had already passed three Divine Soul Tribulations, and only needed to open your Supreme Sea to break through to the Supreme Realm. A faint anticipation rose in your heart...
Just as you were about to enter Hundred Battles Territory, a White-clothed Man came to intercept and kill you. His face was somewhat handsome, but he still fell short compared to you. You recognized him at a glance—he was Cao Feng, who had betrayed Nine Nether Palace years ago.
As expected, Nine Nether unleashed her true strength and defeated him with a single palm strike. You captured Cao Feng alive, and you questioned him about his reasons for betraying her.
He said that he felt unworthy of Nine Nether, so he wanted to take a gamble. He had joined Blood Eagle King only to obtain the cultivation method for the Blood Shadow Sovereign Celestial Body, ranked ninety-ninth among Supreme Sovereign Celestial Bodies. Yet he still thought of Nine Nether and hoped she would forgive him...
You did not listen to his nonsense. You searched him and found three thousand drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid, as well as the cultivation method for the Blood Shadow Sovereign Celestial Body. Nine Nether asked how he should be dealt with, and you told her to slap him to death...
Nine Nether slapped Cao Feng to death, and you continued on your journey...
One month later, you arrived at a small city in Hundred Battles Territory. With the three thousand drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid generously gifted by Cao Feng, you successfully opened your Supreme Sea and attained the Supreme Realm!
On your return journey, you were ambushed by several Sovereigns from Hundred Battles Territory. Confused, you questioned them and learned that Hundred Battles Territory had declared war on Da Luo Territory...
You and Nine Nether were outnumbered. After desperately killing one enemy, you ultimately died.
This simulation has ended—
You may choose one item from your future life.
One: Three thousand drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid
Two: The cultivation method for the Blood Shadow Sovereign Celestial Body
Three: Your memories at the time of your death at age twenty-one
This time, Lu Chen did not choose the memories again. With a thought, he chose the three thousand drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.
Not only because he would need them to break through to the Supreme Realm in the future, but also because of the special nature of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.
Only Supreme Realm experts had the ability to condense Sovereign Spiritual Liquid. A First Grade Sovereign would have to spend a month cultivating bitterly to possibly condense a single drop. It was hard currency for transactions between experts of the Supreme Realm and above.
In the Great Thousand World, countless people regarded entering the Supreme Realm as the lifelong goal of their cultivation. Yet no one knew how many geniuses had ultimately halted before the Supreme Realm, forever unable to advance.
At this level, one needed more than talent. One also needed an enormous amount of resources, and Sovereign Spiritual Liquid made up a large part of those resources.
Opening a Supreme Sea required it, and even condensing the symbol of a Supreme Realm expert—the Supreme Sovereign Celestial Body—required a vast quantity of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.
Therefore, ordinary factions simply could not nurture true Supreme Realm experts. Only those colossal powers with deep foundations could use it to create Sovereigns one after another and dominate the Great Thousand World.
After Lu Chen made his choice,
Three thousand tiny emerald-green fish suddenly darted out from the void.
The little fish were entirely emerald green and emitted a faint glow, appearing exceptionally lively.
However, Lu Chen could sense an extremely pure and powerful spiritual energy fluctuation within them. He knew that these should be Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.
"As expected of spiritual liquid condensed by Supreme Realm experts. It actually possesses a trace of spirituality by nature and can transform into animals."
Lu Chen exclaimed in admiration. Looking at the emerald-green fish darting wildly around the room, he stomped off the ground with the tip of his foot and shot forward.
Whoosh!
His figure swept past. Vast spiritual energy surged from his body, transforming into a gigantic spiritual energy hand that shot out like lightning and seized countless emerald-green fish in its grasp.
Thud! Thud!
Caught in Lu Chen's hand, the emerald-green fish immediately began to struggle madly. Their tiny bodies slammed against the spiritual energy handprint, producing an extremely piercing sound.
Lu Chen narrowed his eyes. Strands of purple flames rose from his palm. Under the scorching of the Undying Fire, the emerald-green fish lasted only a few breaths before turning into drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid that floated before him.
Lu Chen stored the dozens of drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid in his Mustard Seed Bracelet, then leaped into the air again and flew toward the places where the emerald-green fish had gathered most densely.
He struck out with the spiritual energy hand wrapped in Undying Fire. Purple Flame howled downward like a giant python, instantly seizing dozens of drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid and continuously stuffing them into the Mustard Seed Bracelet.
This capture continued for several hours.
With a sweep of Lu Chen's sleeve, the spiritual energy handprint finally dispersed. He sat cross-legged upon the stone platform and slowly recovered the spiritual energy he had expended.
A moment later,
Lu Chen opened his eyes and picked up the Mustard Seed Bracelet. Sensing the abundance of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid within, he could not help but smile.
He knew that from this day onward, the Supreme Realm would no longer pose any obstacle to him.
"Big Brother Lu Chen, are you still cultivating?"
"Big Sister Nine Nether asked you to come out and train with us."
At that moment, a gentle call came from outside the door.
Lu Chen opened the door and saw Tang Rou, dressed in a pink gown, standing prettily outside.
"So it's Tang Rou. Wait a moment, I'll be ready right away."
Lu Chen returned to the quiet room, gathered up the scattered items on the floor, changed into a clean green robe, and then headed toward the training grounds with Tang Rou.
Before the palace,
Lay a vast training ground.
Several thousand figures stood silently there, while two graceful figures stood before them.
They were Nine Nether and Tang Bing.
Nine Nether wore a set of black armor, her sharp gaze sweeping across the crowd before her, while Tang Bing stood at her side.
"Big Sister Nine Nether, Lu Chen is here."
When Lu Chen and Tang Rou approached, Tang Bing reminded her.
Nine Nether nodded. Looking at the relaxed expression on Lu Chen's face, her expression turned stern as she said sharply, "Lu Chen, didn't you say you would help my Nine Nether Palace regain its honor in three years?"
"Today, I'll have someone test your abilities. Among the several thousand people on this training ground, as long as you can defeat any one of them, Nine Nether Palace will cover every resource you need to cultivate to the Supreme Realm in the future!"
"Really?"
"Really!"
Nine Nether answered with a proud expression.
Lu Chen smiled and nodded, then turned to look at the training ground. At that moment, countless black-clad figures stood silently there.
They wore black armor and stood as still as boulders, utterly unmoving. Their breathing seemed perfectly synchronized, and each exhalation was like thunder and lightning.
That imposing aura was enough to make one's heart tremble.
This was the army unique to Nine Nether Palace—the Nine Nether Guard!
"They're actually all experts of the Three Heavens Realm. As expected of Da Luo Territory..."
Lu Chen praised inwardly. Then his gaze swept around and settled upon a Nine Nether Guard member at the early Heavenly Transformation Realm.
"Him, then. Come on!"
