[However, it was just when Shu State had defeated Wu State and started to unify the land that Sword Spirit Sect Master colluded with the Exotic Races to begin their invasion. The Exotic Races invaded, plundering and killing people, behaving ruthlessly, treating Shu State people as lambs to be eaten, utterly devoid of humanity. This enraged the King of Shu Liu Yu, who urgently mobilized all available forces to suppress them.]
[Nevertheless, due to the power of Exotic Races and the years of war in Xia Land, even though they had once again unified the rivers and mountains, their strength had already been weakened to the extreme and was naturally no match for the Exotic Races. Therefore, Shu King Liu Yu had no choice but to ask for assistance from the Sword Spirit Sect, allowing them to help deal with the Exotic Races.]
[In the face of the rampant Exotic Races, all the Supreme Elders of the Sword Spirit Sect were equally outraged, and every one of them came down the mountain, intending to kill the Exotic Races. That same year, you went down the mountain to gather herbs. Meanwhile, the Sword Spirit Sect Master sneered and secretly contacted the Exotic Races, selling you to them.]
[Subsequently, a powerful existence among the Exotic Races took action, wanting you to submit to them and refine medicine for them. But with your unyielding spirit, you would never yield to the Exotic Races. In the end, you died in battle.]
[Because of your death, this simulation has ended.]
"Has the Sword Spirit Sect been neutral for a thousand years? It seems that most of the higher-ups in the Sword Spirit Sect are good people."
Wang Ping, after watching the simulation, had a significantly improved impression of the Sword Spirit Sect, which he found quite surprising.
"However, even in the best of forces, there will always be a few rats spoiling the pot. The Sword Spirit Sect Master is undoubtedly one of them."
Wang Ping narrowed his eyes, recalling the deeds of the Sword Spirit Sect Master, and his eyes revealed a murderous intent.
The Sword Spirit Sect fought for the world, while he conspired with the Exotic Races, allowing the land that had finally regained peace to be engulfed in chaos once again, all for the sole purpose of killing him.
From the current situation, even if the Exotic Races were eventually defeated, Shu State would probably be hard-pressed to recover.
In the end, most likely, they would be annexed by the Chu State.

After all, even with Zhao State's interference, Shu State's strength had become too weak. Chu State only needed to dispatch a small number of troops to conquer it, while Zhao State wouldn't be able to stop them.
However, being annexed by Chu State would probably be the best outcome.
If it weren't for Chu State, it was likely that they would be directly extinct by the Exotic Races, bringing about catastrophe for all living beings.
In addition, the Sword Spirit Sect Master was ruthless. Wang Ping had not been able to kill him within the simulation. It seemed that it would be difficult to deal with him using ordinary methods.
"Hmph, no matter how cunning and ruthless you are, as long as my strength is sufficient, I can break through the situation with a single effort, and no one can stop me."
Immediately, Wang Ping let out a cold snort, no longer dwelling on it.
"Ding, reward generation successful, the host can choose two of the following rewards:
Earth lower-tier martial Skill Sword Essence Skill. @. Lower Earth-Tier Martial Skill Sword Riding Skill.
Green Talent Beast Taming Master.
White Talent Broom Star.
White Talent Plainly Dressed.
Sword Spirit enlightenment.
Life experience.
1st Tier of Spirit Origin cultivation."
"There are quite a few reward choices this time, and I can choose two rewards.
The system seems to be getting more and more generous."
Wang Ping looked at the long list of reward choices and sighed.
He then began to think carefully.
White Talent Broom Star. To be honest, he had felt from the beginning of this simulation that the system might have chosen the wrong talent for him.
After all, this time within the simulation, he was far too burdensome for the people around him.
He had killed Bai Tianhong, and all the people of Chi Village disappeared, which was outrageous.
As for the Beast Taming Master talent, it had no presence at all.
He had obtained the Silver Moon Wolf cub, but the system's simulation hadn't even mentioned cultivating it, which was absurd.
"The three talents are not very useful, so I'll skip them directly. The cost-performance ratio is too low."
Wang Ping's eyes flickered as he looked at the Cultivation Skills, Martial Arts, and Sword Spirit.
These three rewards were quite good.
"However… "
But after some thought, Wang Ping turned his gaze to the seventh option, his eyes flickering.
Life Experience – an option he had chosen before.
He was well aware that if he selected this option, he would experience the life of this simulation from a first-person perspective.
At that time, his martial will would be even more unyielding, his martial training experience, combat experience, experience with Cultivation Skills, and Martial Arts he had learned from this simulation would all be in tune.
Even details missed in the simulated text would be completely understood.
Experiencing such a life would undoubtedly be of great benefit to him. The benefits it would bring to his future martial arts cultivation were even more self-evident.
This time, he had lived a long life, experiencing this life, he could directly learn
Earth-level lower-Tier martial Skill Sword Essence Skill, the Lower Earth-Tier Martial Skill Sword Riding Skill, and other Martial Arts practiced in the simulation by himself.
It's very likely that even his alchemy skills would improve.
Even the Sword Skill enlightenment he had gained could be fully grasped, and the Sword Spirit could be directly mastered.
It could be said that the Life Experience reward option was undoubtedly the best choice, with an incredibly high cost-performance ratio, and also a lower refresh probability.
However, Wang Ping had seen the content of this simulation.
He knew very well that in this simulation, there were too many regrets and remorse, several times of decadence, and several times when he had almost fallen into the demonic path.
The Life Experience would make him feel as if he personally experienced such a life, and it would undoubtedly affect him, perhaps even making it possible for him to fall into the demonic path.
After all, he already knew the future development, but could only watch helplessly, unable to change anything. Perhaps the impact would be even greater than he had imagined.
"This reward is undoubtedly the best." Wang Ping whispered to himself, "If I fear even such an ordeal, even with the simulator, I won't achieve much. Sooner or later, there will be accidents if my mindset isn't keeping up. For example, in this simulation, I could not break through to the Spiritual-origin Realm due to a lack of Tao Heart and mental state.
"Therefore, I don't need to fear, but instead, I should use this life experience as the best sharpening tool for myself. As long as I can steady my mind and improve my mental state, there will be great achievements."
As Wang Ping spoke, his expression became resolute, and his eyes shone brightly.
"System, I choose O and O."
Soon after, Wang Ping silently uttered in his heart.
As Wang Ping made his choice, he felt his consciousness sway and change.
Everything that followed was beyond his control. From a first-person perspective, he watched everything unfold, unable to change anything, like a ghost.
Everything that the other Wang Ping saw, experienced, felt, and realized was in his heart.
This feeling was very strange.
Soon, he personally experienced the sorrow of parting from Chi Village and his helplessness about the future.
Next, after living a year in Black Wind Town, he joined the Sword Spirit Sect, became a Guest Elder, and met Bai Tianhong..
With each image that flashed by, Wang Ping was extremely moved.
By the end of it all, Wang Ping had detached his spirit. He looked around the wooden house in a daze, feeling as if it was all a dream. It seemed unreal to him.
These tangled timelines, these intertwined lives were too contradictory. It created a sensation similar to Zhuang Zhou dreaming he was a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming it was Zhuang Zhou.
"Life Simulator…" Wang Ping snapped back to his senses after a while, muttering, "Is each simulated life truly a figment of imagination? Is it a simulation of the future? Or, are the developments in each simulated life real, creating parallel universes in their wake? That sense of reality is truly unforgettable."
"I'm overthinking things, drawing parallels between the profound world and parallel universes. Ultimately, the simulated world is so realistic that I can't differentiate between illusion and reality," Wang Ping said, holding his head and smiling bitterly.
The impact of this life experience on him was immense. It was difficult for him to forget many scenes and he generally failed to distinguish between the real world and the simulated one.
"The Wang Ping in the simulation, carrying the miniature fate of a simulated future, hates his own weaknesses and helplessness," Wang Ping said, opening the door and gazing at the starry sky. "But in the end, what I need to do remains the same. I must become stronger. That is the only way I can avoid death and won't have to see my acquaintances wither away."
At this moment, a surge of immense power emerged from within Wang Ping and his cultivation directly ascended to the 1st Tier of Spiritual Origin Realm.
He was addicted to this feeling of strength.
However, Wang Ping was aware that his current foundation was rather weak.
Primarily because he had taken too many elixirs. Since he embarked on the path of cultivation, he never parted with the elixirs.
Starting from today, he must stop taking elixirs blindly. Otherwise, with such a weak foundation, he will eventually get stuck at a certain realm and will not be able to progress.

Take Bai Tianhong for example. He is in a powerful sect like the Sword Spirit Sect, and his master is a Supreme Elder. What resources does he not have? However, he remains true to his heart, never resorting to elixirs, and focuses on cultivation and sword practice.
Even so, his cultivation progresses at an incredible speed and he easily breaks through all bottlenecks. Nothing can hold him back.
That's the foundation of Bai Tianhong. It's not perfect, but it's absolutely solid.
For Bai Tianhong, breaking through bottlenecks might be a natural process.
Wang Ping had an intuition that that the Overseas Isolated Island was too small, that the martial arts heritage was too weak or had been interrupted.
The prodigies in poor areas are not necessarily weaker than those in major sects. They lack only opportunity.
If Bai Tianhong were in the Eastern Desolation as Cai Yonglong mentioned, given Bai Tianhong's aptitude and character, he would likely rise at an astonishing rate.
"There aren't many people like Brother Bai in this world, " Wang Ping sighed.
"Hey! "
The next day, Wang Ping was walking through Chi Village. He watched the children drink animal milk and play, while the older children like Chifeng, sweating and practicing martial arts. His mood gradually calmed down.
He liked the feeling of having profound cultivation and high status, as well as the feeling of peace.
However, at present, he preferred this feeling of tranquillity as it eliminated his complicated emotions and made him feel composed.
"Hey, Wang Ping, stop dawdling. It would be better if you follow me in martial arts training or go hunting sometimes." Seeing Wang Ping approach, Chih Hu slapped his shoulder and admonished him loudly, "Otherwise, even if you have a unique physique and your cultivation advances by leaps and bounds every day, without a solid foundation in martial arts and practical experience, you'll definitely face problems in the future."
"I have plenty of practical experience, " Wang Ping smiled and replied.
"Since you revealed that you can absorb the Spiritual Stone to enhance your cultivation, you haven't practiced with me. And you say you're experienced?" Chih Hu sneered disdainfully, "I think you're all show and no go, and you'll collapse at the slightest hit."
"Well, why don't we have a spar?" Wang Ping didn't mind Chih Hu's mockery, and suggested with a smile.
He was fully aware that the men in the Chi Village were all real hearty men. Chih Hu didn't mean to mock him, he was just goading Wang Ping to practice martial arts more and gain more combat experience."Fine." Chih Hu grinned, revealing his white, strong teeth, and rubs his hands together, "Hehe, although our cultivation levels are the same, I think I can defeat you in three moves."
"Hehe." Wang Ping said with a smile: "I can't accept that. How about we make a bet? You lose and today's meat and beverages are all mine."
"Damn, you're really ruthless. I'd go crazy if I don't eat meat and drink for a day." Chih Hu's face twitched a little.
"Didn't you say you could defeat me in three moves? Why don't you have even this little bit of confidence?" Wang Ping provoked him back, looking eager to try. "You are not scared of me, are you?"
"Who would be scared of a skinny bamboo pole like you." Chih Hu glared, rubbing his hands together: "Since you have said so much, don't blame me for being rough. Today, I will show you the gap in our combat experience."
"Fight! Fight!"
A child chimed in.
"Betting time!" a bigger child said louder.
"I bet a piece of meat, Uncle Chih Hu will win." "I bet two pieces of meat, Uncle Chih Hu will win!" "I bet a bowl of beast milk, Brother Wang Ping will win!"
Chifeng raised his hand.
"Chifeng, why are you betting on Brother Wang Ping to win? Brother Wang Ping has never fought before, it feels like he can't even beat us at the same level." a little girl with twisted braids in Chi Village blinked her lively, beautiful eyes and muttered.
"Exactly, exactly." The other children also echoed, not believing that Wang Ping would win.
"I believe in Brother Wang Ping." Chifeng stated firmly, "Uncle Chih Hu, according to Brother Wang Ping's stories, looks like a typical passerby, a background character. But Brother Wang Ping is mysterious and obviously not simple."
"Um…" Wang Ping felt speechless.
"Boy, what kind of stories have you been telling Chifeng every day? You even call me a passerby template and a background character." Chih Hu's forehead was covered in lines as he stared at Wang Ping with his big, bell-like eyes.
"…" Wang Ping was still speechless.
Chifeng, this little guy, always nagged for stories of novels from him. He understood many plotlines, and his unexpected words would surprise people but not him.
"Forget it, let's start. Today, I want to see who is really the background character."
Chih Hu stepped back a little, changed his posture, and said with a grunt.
The surrounding children all stopped their martial training and surrounded them, laughing and teasing.
"I'm coming!" Seeing that Wang Ping was full of flaws, Chih Hu felt that he could defeat Wang Ping with just one move and become the brightest figure in the children's hearts. He couldn't help but roar, charging directly towards Wang Ping and punching out.
This punch was powerful and heavy, and an intense fire attribute True Qi enveloped it, making it incredibly hot.
At a crucial moment, Wang Ping calmly dodged this punch with a slight side step.
Then he casually slapped, sending Chih Hu flying out. He fell on the ground and didn't get up for quite a while.
Chih Hu was dumbfounded.
Just now Wang Ping didn't move, and he thought Wang Ping was scared silly. He was about to pull his punch, but who knew, Wang Ping was calm and composed, sidestepped his punch, and with an tricky angle, casually slapped him and sent him flying.
If it was a battle of life and death, Wang Ping's slap just now could have taken his life.
For a while, Chih Hu was questioning his life. He wondered who was really the elite huntsman in the village and who was the rookie who had just started martial training..
