Violet Spirit Realm

Wang Ping (66): "Same as Cai Ge."

Fang Yun (3): "Oh, same then."

Fang Yun (3): "Wait, you said same!?"

Wu Jun (20): "(Speechless)!"

Cai Yonglong (1): "Same. You're also Body Tempering, Houtian, Xiantian, Spirit Origin, Transcendent Realm? Σ(⊙▽⊙"a)"

Somewhere, Cai Yonglong, mid-sip of his Spirit Tea Water, nearly spat it all out, utterly stunned.

Wang Ping (66): "Yeah. So I'm guessing we both transmigrated into the same Xianxia World."

Cai Yonglong (1): "Damn, why didn't you say so earlier?"

Wang Ping (66): "I wasn't sure yet. It was only last time I asked Sister Liu for a cultivation technique that I was about seventy or eighty percent certain. When you mentioned Spirit Origin Realm just now, Cai Ge, that sealed it."

Cai Yonglong (1): "That's wild. So we can actually end up in the same world? I thought every group member transmigrated to a different one. This makes things interesting—maybe we can even meet up in person."

Fang Yun (3): "Damn, I'm so jealous! If Cai Ge and Wang Ping run dungeons together, that'd be insane. Foreshadowing the Future means dodging danger easy and knowing where the opportunities are."

Cai Yonglong (1): "Shocking! Xiao Yunzi, you've got me hyped! Wang Ping, how about it? Want to run dungeons together later? I mean, secret realms!"

Wang Ping (66): "Uh, even if we're in the same Xianxia World, it doesn't mean we're on the same planet or continent. With how Xianxia Worlds work, there's bound to be an Upper Realm, and the Lower Realm connects to a bunch of other lower realms."

Cai Yonglong (1): "Damn, you've got a point. I'm speechless. But hey, tell me where you are first. I can check if it's the same world. I'm in the Violet Spirit Realm, Sword Domain of the Eastern Wilderness Ten Regions, ruled by the Heavenly Sword Holy Land. I'm in some area under their jurisdiction."

Wang Ping (66): "Sorry, I don't even know where I am. All I know is I'm in a country called Great Xia. Nearby are two other kingdoms, Chu and Zhao. Beyond that is the ocean."

Wang Ping shook his head.

He had over a decade of life experience.

That came with some geographical memories.

Honestly, the map he was on was pretty small.

The central plains had three kingdoms: Xia Kingdom, Chu Kingdom, Zhao Kingdom.

Outside those three kingdoms were either plateaus or barren hills. Foreign Races lived there, eyeing the three kingdoms hungrily.

Further out was an endless ocean.

Of course, calling it small was relative—the territory he was in was definitely no smaller than Eurasia.

Cai Yonglong (1): "Uh, that's it? Nothing else?"

Wang Ping (66): "That's all I know."

Cai Yonglong (1): "Alright, that info tells me nothing."

Fang Yun (3): "Cai Ge got excited for nothing, hahaha!"

Cai Yonglong (1): "The hell are you laughing at, you bastard? Take this!"

Fang Yun (3): "Heh, someone's mad. Not naming names."

Cai Yonglong (1): "Fine, just you wait. See you in the arena later. If I don't wreck you, my name's not Cai!"

Wang Ping (66): "...I'll remember the place you mentioned, Cai Ge. I'll ask around later if this world has a Heavenly Sword Holy Land or Sword Domain."

Cai Yonglong (1): "Alright, alright! If it does, we're fated. We've gotta run dungeons together then!"

Fang Yun (3): "Hey, so clingy. Cai Ge, you've changed."

Cai Yonglong (1) @ Fang Yun (3): "Xiao Yunzi, you're really asking for a beating."

Wang Ping read the chat and couldn't help but smile.

That Fang Yun guy was such a troll—he felt like the guy was bound to get himself killed one day.

Wang Ping (66): "I've got things to do, so I'll go offline for now."

With that, Wang Ping logged off.

"System, I want to start a new simulation!"

He said silently to the system.

"Ding, this simulation costs 64 Low-Grade Spirit Stones. Proceed with payment?"

The system's voice rang out.

"Proceed!"

Wang Ping said in his mind.

"Ding, Life Simulator activated. Refreshing talents."

"Ding, congratulations, host. You've obtained White Talent: Kind-Looking; White Talent: I Desire to Become a Demon."

White Talent: Kind-Looking: With this talent, smiling while talking to others makes them more likely to trust you.

White Talent: I Desire to Become a Demon: With this talent, the host can only walk the demonic path. However, cultivating demonic techniques grants additional bonuses.

"System, I choose White Talent: Kind-Looking."

Wang Ping glanced at the two talents and picked White Talent: Kind-Looking without hesitation.

A single White Talent wasn't enough to drive him to demonhood.

That Kind-Looking talent, however, would prove immensely useful for his upcoming plans—undoubtedly the most fitting choice.

Ding. Talent selection successful. Life Simulation begins.
