It's just a simulation game, how did the fairy become real?

However, these are all matters within the Thousand Machines Sect. As an outsider, you can only speculate and shouldn't ask too many questions. You can only follow He Xingyao's arrangements.

[What you didn't expect was that He Xingyao only briefly showed you around the Thousand Machines Sect before dragging you to the testing grounds.]

[Among all the foolish Taoist priests like you, who are hardworking and never complain, He Xingyao has only ever met one.]

Your appearance has freed the other disciples of the Thousand Machines Sect.

While they showed curiosity towards you, their eyes also held a hint of relief and schadenfreude.

[After all, the young lady's angle is exceptionally tricky; not just anyone can block it.]

But just a few days after the experiment began, these disciples looked at you with genuine admiration.

[A bunch of seemingly perfect puppets, yet you managed to find quite a few flaws in them, some of which were in ways they hadn't even anticipated.]

[Furthermore, under your skillful guidance, the disciples' attitudes towards He Xingyao have changed considerably.]

You stayed at the Thousand Machines Sect for more than half a month.

During this time, you helped He Xingyao test almost every single new puppet that appeared within the Thousand Machines Sect.

[The Thousand Machines Sect hasn't treated you unfairly. Although you're from Longhu Mountain, all the training grounds usually reserved for inner disciples are open to you.]

Moreover, He Xingyao would occasionally feed you rare and precious herbs, which finally helped you achieve the completion of your Foundation Establishment stage.

You realize that you'll likely need to fight a life-or-death battle to reach the Golden Core stage.

He then bid farewell to He Xingyao and went to seek his own destiny.

To your surprise, the other person chose to adventure with you without hesitation.

Despite your repeated attempts to dissuade them, you ultimately couldn't resist their insistence and had no choice but to accept their decision to follow you.

"What are your plans for this life-or-death battle?"

He Xingyao asked the question seemingly casually.

"No.

Perhaps this battle wasn't even necessary.

Daosheng shook his head.

He wasn't quite sure what the future held.

The Five Thunder Technique has reached a bottleneck.

Other methods of cultivation have also gradually stalled.

There are many opportunities to enter the Golden Core stage, but what he wants is to make a breakthrough in the strongest path.

He wanted to master the Thunder Technique and use it to enter the Golden Core stage.

Both favorable timing and advantageous location are indispensable.

These things can't be rushed; we can only wait patiently.

As for the life-or-death battle, it is your means of seeking to break through the bottleneck of thunder magic.

"It's okay, I've got your back!"

When He Xingyao said this, she was full of heroic spirit, as if nothing was a problem.

However, given the quality of her puppets, she could indeed become an army by herself in time.

The puppets of the Thousand Machines Sect are not only complex in their mechanisms.

More importantly, the true combat power of these puppets is no weaker than that of ordinary cultivators.

The puppets they create might even be more powerful than themselves.

As long as they don't want to die, it's difficult for outsiders to push them to the brink.

You have no destination along this journey.

[If they hear of trouble somewhere on the road, they will go there.]

[By traveling and stopping frequently, you've managed to save quite a few people.]

However, you notice that the demons causing trouble seem to have lost much of their strength.

Compared to when you first descended the mountain, it seems that all the truly great demons have vanished without a trace.

This is indeed good news for ordinary people.

But you have a vague feeling that there's something hidden here that you haven't noticed.

Tianxing City.

The gambling den in the south of the city.

"Can Taoist priests enter places like this?"

He Xingyao frowned silently as she looked at the smoky interior of the gambling den.

"We're doing serious business, we can go anywhere."

Daosheng said expressionlessly. In order not to attract attention, he changed out of his Taoist robe and now looked like a pale-faced scholar.

They had been searching for a demon, but the trail ended here.

Outside the gambling den, He Xingyao had already set up a trap using puppets.

As long as that demon appears, we will surely be able to capture it.

"So, according to you, that means you can even go to places like that?"

"Which place?"

"I'll show you around sometime~"

He Xingyao's eyes were full of cunning, as if she was plotting something wicked.

Daosheng looked at her helplessly. Although He Xingyao was very playful, she would never cross the line when it came to matters of principle.

He probably thinks he can tease him somewhere else, right?

The two wandered around the casino again and again until the security guards noticed them.

Neither of them could find any trace of the demon, and even its original aura had vanished completely.

Tianxing City is only this big.

This demon couldn't possibly be hiding anywhere else.

Just as you were about to be kicked out by the casino staff...

Suddenly, someone, acting like they'd known you forever, struck up a conversation with you.

The other person seemed to be a regular at the gambling den; the moment he appeared, the guards all dispersed.

The other party seemed to know the purpose of your visit, briefly introduced themselves, and then invited you to speak privately.

You learned something from the other person.

There seem to be other passages beneath Tianxing City.

The demons you lost may very well be hiding among them.

The other party offered to take you downstairs to have a look.

【Your choice:】

[1. Follow the other party's advice and enter the underground. (This choice may lead to some danger.)]

2. Decline the invitation and leave. (This choice may cause you to miss out on some things.)

[3. You enter the underground alone, leaving He Xingyao to wait outside. (This choice may endanger He Xingyao, or it may unlock new story content.)]

[4. Personal intervention, 3 attempt remaining.]

"There's actually a description of possible follow-up possibilities?"

Is this what they call the ability to see through everything?

Su Chen considered the possibilities of the subsequent options, saved the game, and chose option 3.

After giving He Xingyao some instructions, you followed her into the underground area.

Just as they said, the underground is a completely different world.

On the surface, Tianxing City is just an ordinary large city. However, its underground space is even more vast than its surface counterpart.

[What's above, is almost everything below, and it's even more exaggerated.]

The people gathered here are almost entirely from all walks of life.

The auras were extremely mixed, but you could still clearly discern the presence of demonic energy, and perhaps more than one type.

The other party led you forward, directly to a cave filled with the stench of blood.

Despite the other party's effusive description, you remained cautious and did not easily enter the cave.

Your cautiousness and dawdling are making the other person a little irritated.

Finally, just as you were about to leave, the other party struck in a fit of rage.

However, your opponent's skill level is lower than yours, and given your wariness, they will escape within three moves.

You followed behind them, tailing them the whole way.

After navigating several tunnels, you unexpectedly rediscovered the lost demonic aura.

There's a second level underground!

Chapter 133 Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Tribulation

"A place similar to a gladiatorial arena?"

"Such a powerful array suppression; no wonder there was no reaction before."

As soon as Daosheng entered, he felt that it was different from others.

All breaths were blocked.

It has an extremely strong sense of suppression and restraint.
