I only want to win over the fairy.

[In the winter of 1146 of the Ten Thousand Immortals Calendar, your cultivation level had completely fallen from Foundation Establishment to Qi Refining, but you didn't care, because in your conversations and discussions with Bai, you had already grasped the threshold of the normal operation of your cultivation technique.]

In your discussions with Bai, you are often amazed by his unconventional thinking and perspectives, especially his insights into spiritual energy, which seem to open a new world for you.

[In early 1147 of the Wanxian Calendar, after dozens of discussions with Bai, you finally mastered the semi-perpetual motion of your own cultivation technique. Although you have not yet reached the realm of "Clear Mirror Still Water - Constant" described by Bai, the spiritual energy generated by the constantly operating technique has exceeded the amount of spiritual energy lost. Now you can finally feel the joy of your own improvement once again.]

Indeed, finding the right approach is more effective in resolving one's predicament than simply seeking opportunities.

Jiang Yuehan couldn't help but wonder how long it would take to find a solution if she left the sect and wandered the world in search of opportunities to resolve her predicament.

Five years, ten years, or several decades?

She didn't know, but now she has a solution. Even if this simulation ends like this, she only needs to extract her memories from this simulation to obtain the technique of "Mirror Still Water". Thus, before her spiritual power dissipates, she can learn this move and completely eliminate this hidden danger!

However, she believes that this is ultimately only a temporary solution, because the situation of spiritual energy loss has not changed. It simply means that she is making most of the lost energy return to herself and that the spiritual energy gained from cultivation is greater than the spiritual energy lost.

If there were no loss of spiritual energy, she thought that if she learned this set of techniques, she would probably only need a year to break through the Four Symbols Realm and reach the Fallen Moon Realm.

Since Bai was able to invent this technique, it means he had already mastered it. So, what level of skill did the opponent possess?

Qi Refining, Foundation Building, Four Symbols, Falling Moon, Radiant Sun, Qian Yuan, and Dao Integration: these are the seven major realms in the world of cultivation.

Those who can innovate and deduce new techniques are all saints who have reached the pinnacle in a certain path. Although the "Clear Mirror Still Water - Constant Center" technique that Bai told him is not a special technique, but only an auxiliary means of cultivation, it still cannot change the importance of this thing.

This is not an ancient method, but a modern method.

She even wondered how terrifying it would be if all the geniuses in the cultivation world mastered this core technology.

She dared not think about it, but one thing was certain: once this technology became known to everyone, the overall strength of the cultivation world would surely rise to another level!

No, we must investigate Bai's matter as soon as possible. If there is such a person in the Xuantian Sect, then we must do everything we can to get him to join Linghan Peak.

In order to learn more about Bai as soon as possible, she began to carry out her work in an orderly manner. First, she would take action three times a day, chatting about everything she could, and then occasionally send some gifts to increase the intimacy between them.

One month, two months, half a year, one year, two years, five years.

For cultivators, five years is not a long time. After all, cultivators have extremely long lifespans. Once they reach a certain level, living for thousands of years is not a problem. It is said that Great Emperors above the Dao Integration Realm can even live for tens of thousands of years, and even live a second or third life after death!

Unfortunately, despite her efforts, she still knew very little about Bai. She knew nothing about his parents, birthplace, or other details. Helpless, she had no choice but to temporarily give up trying to find out more about Bai and instead focus on improving her strength.

[In the year 1152 of the Myriad Immortals Calendar, the Fallen Dragon Mountain Range emerged, shaking the nine great immortal sects. You, having broken through to the Fallen Moon Realm, were chosen as one of the younger generation from the Xuan Tian Sect to participate in the secret realm. Among the participants, you did not find Bai's figure, and you deduced that he may have already broken through to a higher realm and was no longer among the younger generation.]

[You discovered an ancient tree in a secret realm, nourished by the blood of a dragon. Disciples from several other major immortal sects also found the tree with you. Unable to reach an agreement, a fierce battle ensued, ultimately ending with you single-handedly defeating them all in a crushing victory.]

[Because your battle was too commotion, it attracted countless disciples from various immortal sects. When they saw the Dragon Blood Ancient Tree, they all rushed to seize it, causing chaos and even resulting in the deaths of many disciples in the fighting.]

As the number of dying cultivators increased, you vaguely sensed something was wrong. When you discovered that the ancient dragon blood tree was becoming increasingly lifelike, as if it had come alive, it had been awakened.

[A divine artifact, bathed in the blood of a dragon emperor, has been awakened. The aura it emits easily annihilates everyone present, including you.]

【you are dead. 】

"An ancient tree bathed in the blood of the emperor!" Jiang Yuehan exclaimed instinctively, forgetting even that she was dying again, her attention completely drawn to the text on the simulator.

What does it mean that an ancient tree has been bathed in the blood of an emperor?

This means that this tree is qualified to become a sacred medicine or an imperial artifact!

The fact that this tree survived the blood of the emperor means that it has been imbued with the aura of the emperor, making it the embryo of an imperial weapon. If it is refined over a thousand years with the combined power of a sect, it will become a brand new imperial weapon!

A weapon of Emperor Realm represents more than just a weapon; it is a treasure that guards the sect. The reason why the Nine Immortal Sects of Central Continent are called the Nine Immortal Sects is because each of these nine sects has produced a Great Emperor and has an Emperor Weapon to protect the sect's fortune!

but...

Treasures of this caliber are still too far beyond my reach. Even if I were to obtain them, I would most likely be unable to handle them.

Just when she thought the simulation was about to end and it was time to tally up the results, she discovered that although all the operable buttons had turned black, the game was not over.

What exactly is going on?

Chapter 7 The Great Emperor of Proving the Dao

You learned of the death of your close friend Jiang Yuehan, and deeply saddened, you kept vigil for her for seven consecutive days.

Whenever you think of the sudden departure of a close friend you've known for years, you can't help but lament the ruthlessness of fate; the long path of cultivation is fraught with peril, where a single misstep can lead to death.

Bai Yiren was stunned. He had finally managed to raise his friendship level with Jiang Yuehan to the level of "best friends," and he was probably just a little short of being able to make a vow of "love," but then she suddenly died.

Can't this game add a save function?!

I've been playing for over four hours now to finally get to this level, but before I could even get carried by a pro, they've already passed me by.

I came here specifically for the white-haired, red-eyed saintess, but now my wife is gone. How am I supposed to play this game?!

The first time was due to force majeure. The Jiang family was already prepared to plot against Jiang Yuehan. Given their relationship with the other party and their knowledge of the intelligence at the time, there was no way to break the deadlock. In the end, they could only sacrifice their lives to overturn the chessboard.

The second time, this was a relatively stable development path. Their research was progressing well, and Jiang Yuehan had successfully resolved the issue of spiritual energy loss. Logically, the next step should have been a natural progression, but then she suddenly died...

Besides wanting to reach higher levels and get high scores and rewards, the only other purpose he had in playing this game was to raise his favorite wife, and Jiang Yuehan was the one who suited him best.

Normally, if your wife dies, you can't play this game anymore, but that's not normal. This is a world of cultivation, where death doesn't necessarily mean death!

I will find a way to resurrect you!

In the spring of 1155 of the Wanxian Calendar, still unable to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, you abandoned your research into the utilization and transformation of spiritual energy, and instead turned your attention to the fields of life and artificial spiritual roots.

In the autumn of the 1155th year of the Wanxian Calendar, you gained some unique insights into the study of life. Humans, including cultivators, are destined to die. The moment two people meet, their future separation is predetermined by various means—whether it's the end of their bond, illness, or the passage of time. A Buddhist elder told you, "Fallen leaves return to their roots; so too should the dead return to their roots. We should not grieve for the death of a person, but rather rejoice, for they are simply returning to the embrace of the world." However, you believed that death is not the end of life; losing everything is.

"I am not saddened by her death. I am sad only because I have lost a friend, an important friend who understood me."

In the year 1156 of the Myriad Immortals Calendar, you collected a large number of corpses of deceased cultivators and began dissecting and studying them, attempting to unravel the mysteries of spiritual roots and explore the essence of spiritual energy, spiritual roots, and cultivation.

Several years have passed in the blink of an eye. After countless failed research attempts, you have created your first artificial spiritual root. Perhaps it was fate, but the spiritual root you created just happens to be of the ice attribute, albeit of a slightly lower grade. However, for you, this is merely the beginning.

[Having been immersed in your research for years, you gradually drifted apart from others. Recently, the corpses of many deceased cultivators have been found to be flying away, and even the graves of several families have been dug up. Your master investigated and discovered that you were responsible. As a result, you were punished with ten years of solitary confinement, which you paid no heed to.]

Am I turning into a demon scientist?

Bai Yi was somewhat surprised. He had only wanted to improve his scientific research abilities and, incidentally, raise his level of cultivation to find a way to revive Jiang Yuehan. How did things suddenly turn out this way?

But so what if I'm a demon scientist? This little sin isn't even as much as the glass I burned back then.

Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and you have changed a lot. Now you are more reserved, cold, and aloof. During this time, you have upgraded the artificial spiritual root you initially cultivated to the level of a celestial spiritual root and transplanted it into your body.

[After your punishment ended, you didn't return to your old ways of digging up ancestral graves, because you no longer find those worthless scraps worthy of being dug up. You've found a more suitable experimental subject: yourself.]

The value that the dead can bring is ultimately limited. To study life and the essence of cultivators, living beings are still needed. Although it is normal for cultivators to fight each other for profit and opportunities, even killing entire families, you are not the kind of heartless villain. Therefore, you do not intend to capture innocent people as experimental subjects. However, your enemies and those who hinder you are not included in this category.

What bad intentions could Xiao Baiyi possibly have? At most, he just dug up someone else's ancestral grave.

However, isn't this rudimentary scientific research talent a bit too outrageous? To be able to research artificial spiritual roots and even cultivate celestial spiritual roots at such a basic level is simply unbelievable.

Or is it that creating artificial spiritual roots is actually not difficult?

Or simply put, cultivators have long lifespans and plenty of time to improve themselves. Even if they only have basic talent, as long as they learn enough and have enough time, they can still make a name for themselves.

That's probably it. As the saying goes, if a pig has lived for hundreds of years, it should have some supernatural abilities. Not to mention that I am a cultivator, and my abilities in all aspects are much stronger than those of normal people. Thinking about it this way, it's not too far-fetched.

So what you need to do next is pretty standard: just improve yourself step by step, max out all your abilities, and then you can finally "revive, my love!"

Having conducted countless experiments on yourself, you have experienced numerous life-threatening crises, but each time you have persevered thanks to your strong willpower. Unbeknownst to you, your cultivation level has broken through to the seventh rank of the Dao Integration Realm, and you have gathered multiple artificial celestial spiritual roots within your body, including metal, wood, water, fire, earth, ice, wind, thunder, yin, and yang.

What kind of bloodline limit is this? It's so mixed up, even the Sage of Six Paths' mother doesn't have this many attributes.

Bai Yi was really curious: was it really okay to stuff so many spiritual roots into the body?

Although spiritual roots are just a special thing that exists between reality and illusion, it doesn't mean that stuffing so many won't cause problems. With so many spiritual roots, aren't you afraid that they will conflict with each other and cause you to explode and die?

Wasn't I supposed to be reviving Jiang Yuehan? Why am I messing with all these spiritual roots?

Could it be that he plans to become an Emperor, transform into the Six Paths Immortal, and then use the Reincarnation Technique to resurrect his lover?

Having already gathered most of the world's elemental roots, your task is simple: use yourself as a foundation to create a new world, then use that world to stir up the entire cultivation world, ultimately leading you into the cycle of reincarnation to find her soul and resurrect her.

You know it will take you a very long time to accomplish this, but you don't care. A hundred years, a thousand years, it's all worth it as long as you can resurrect her. For her, you are willing to do it all.

[Unbeknownst to you, your strength has already broken through to the Dao Integration Realm, and you can vaguely feel the call of the will of heaven and earth. However, you still cannot glimpse the Great Dao of Reincarnation. As one of the strongest laws in the world, the power of reincarnation is something that humans cannot fully control, not even Great Emperors. This makes you wonder if only the Heavenly Dao can truly control reincarnation.]

After hundreds of years of research, knowing that this world could no longer nurture a Great Emperor, you resolutely chose to break through to the Emperor Realm, not for any other reason than to make a deal with the Heavenly Dao of this world.

[Having made a deal with the Heavenly Dao, you accomplished the impossible, wielding the power of heaven and earth with a Dao Integration Realm body, achieving the Emperor Realm in an unconventional way, and becoming known as the White Emperor.]

Chapter 8 Do you know what "ding ding ding ding ding" means?

[In the first year of the White Emperor Era, having initially advanced to the Emperor Realm, you immediately chose to travel to the Sea of ​​Annihilation, one of the Ten Great Forbidden Zones of Life, to battle the Supreme Beings who had sealed themselves within it. Ultimately, with the blessing of heaven and earth, you fought against five opponents, slaying three Supreme Beings and allowing their origins to return to the world.]

[Out of a promise to the Heavenly Dao, and also for the sake of the plan, since becoming Emperor, you have been constantly conquering the forbidden zones of life. Your reckless actions have made the supreme beings of the forbidden zones increasingly dissatisfied with you, and many supreme beings even plan to join forces to emerge and kill you as quickly as possible, and then devour your life essence.]

[You, who were aware of the Supreme Beings' plan, paid no heed. Instead, with the help of the Heavenly Dao, you forged an Emperor Weapon using the remains of the three Supreme Beings you had slain, along with various divine materials, your own Dao, and the killing power of the Heavenly Dao. Using the whereabouts of the "Immortal Remains" as bait, you personally entered the game, enticing over a dozen Supreme Beings who had sealed themselves in forbidden zones, awaiting their chance to become immortals, and lured them to a plain.]

[To seize the "Immortal's Remains," over a dozen supreme beings from forbidden zones have engaged in a fierce battle with you, the Great Emperor. Because you are an envoy of the Heavenly Dao, the world provides you with blessings. As long as the world has not been destroyed, you will have a continuous supply of spiritual energy to replenish yourself. Therefore, even when facing a dozen supreme beings joining forces, you remain fearless.]

Even if the Supreme Beings joined forces, they couldn't kill you quickly, but you also had no way to deal with the Supreme Beings of the Forbidden Zones. Moreover, these Supreme Beings had not yet reached their full potential and unleashed their true power.

[In order to achieve victory as quickly as possible, you seized the opportunity to manipulate all things in heaven and earth, causing the Heavenly Dao to manifest, and used the Heavenly Dao to fight against more than a dozen supreme beings.]

[Upon seeing you unleash the power of the Heavenly Dao, the Supreme Beings cursed you: "You despicable and lowly wretch! Where is your dignity as an Emperor! You actually abandoned your freedom to become a dog of the Heavenly Dao!! You are utterly unworthy of being an Emperor!!!"]

The dignity of an emperor? That kind of thing never existed in the first place.

Bai Yi is not some ambitious overlord; he is just an ordinary person. As long as it allows him to win in the end, he doesn't mind using some despicable tricks.

Besides, I don't really want to be a dog for the Heavenly Dao.

Now, the one who grasps the future is not you supreme beings, nor the Heavenly Dao, but me, Bai Yi!

The golden winds of victory are blowing from behind me; the scales of fate have tipped, and I, Bai Yi, am the one who will win in the end!

What he needed to do was very simple: drive the Heavenly Dao to fight against these Supreme Beings, weaken the power of the Heavenly Dao and the Supreme Beings to the greatest extent, and at the same time cut off his own power, severing the power that the Heavenly Dao had given him, and returning to his most essential self.

Given that a large number of supreme beings died, their power returned to heaven and earth, strengthening the power of heaven and earth while weakening the Heavenly Dao, what reason did Bai Yi have not to take action?

It doesn't matter, he's going to make his move.

What he wants to do is not to become the Great Emperor, nor to kill the Heavenly Dao, but to steal the heavens and change the sun, to push the weakened Heavenly Dao down, and to transform himself into the Heavenly Dao, becoming the sole ruler of this world!

[As the battle between the Heavenly Dao consciousness and the Supreme Beings ended, you successfully broke free from the weakened Heavenly Dao's constraints. You then combined and fused all your spiritual roots, successfully creating a small world within your body. At the same time, right before the Heavenly Dao's eyes, you stole half of its power from it.]

Taking advantage of the Heavenly Dao's weakness, you devoured all the supreme origins that the Heavenly Dao had slain, successfully suppressing the Heavenly Dao with only half its power, and continuously eroding its strength, ultimately bringing all the Heavenly Dao's authority back to yourself.

The Heavenly Dao, which you have schemed against, did not resist, allowing you to devour it, because it knows that the moment you acquire all the powers of the Heavenly Dao, you will be the Heavenly Dao, you will be it, and it will be you; there will be no difference between you, no distinction between you.
