“The great success realm Evil-slaying Sword Technique is the key to entering the Ancient Sword Relic. There are two kinds of evolution materials the sword rabbit needs there. However, the Ancient Sword Relic is suppressing and sealing countless strange gods, which means I can’t even move a single rock there. If I take away the crossguard and obtain the materials, I need to solve this problem,” Wang Ye slowly calmed down and began to fall into deep thought.
These two rounds of reality simulation had given him quite a shock.
Whether it was the emperor-level strange god that suddenly appeared here, Ji Wuming who seemed to be everywhere, or Xiao Tao who once again transformed into the demon sword and massacred the world, it was as if he was surrounded by treacherous clouds.
“In the simulation, after I entered the Ancient Sword Relic, I was unable to deal with those sealed and suppressed strange gods. But not long after that, the Ancient Sword Relic exploded, which meant that someone had also found it. Moreover, judging from the situation, they even took away the crossguard. Something so major has never happened in the simulation before. It just had to happen after I entered the Ancient Sword Relic…” Wang Ye narrowed his eyes, and his mind began to race.
This made him feel as if he was being used as a chess piece.
It was as if a hidden hand was in the background, controlling everything.
“After the crossguard was taken away, the sealed strange gods were unleashed, and the Qixing Investigation Corps led by Ji Wuming suppressed them again. Was it self-directed, or were they just chess pieces as well?”
“Later on, when senior Xiao Tao transformed into the demon sword again, it must have obtained the crossguard and became its complete self again. But, why did it transform into the demon sword? Could it be that the demonized Xiao Tao had gained control again? Later on, it went on a killing spree, and even Ji Wuming himself was not spared. If it was self-directed and self-staged by Ji Wuming, did he calculate his death? It seems that it’s not just Ji Wuming…”
Wang Ye closed his eyes because the simulated information was too shocking.
Such a result where he saw his future but could not understand it, made Wang Ye feel as if the sword of Damocles was hanging right above him, ready to fall at any moment.
“Ever since I started investigating the Xinghai Demon Disaster, I always felt that there was something pushing me from behind…” Wang Ye recalled the results of the simulation together with senior Xiao Tao, as well as the results of the previous simulation.
“The Dark Fog Cult,” Wang Ye slowly spat out four words, “When I was simulating with senior Xiao Tao, I had a lot of dealings with this organization! In addition, during that simulation, a few years later, I was ordered to carry out a mission in Xinghai Province. At the same time, I had a higher-up in Xinghai Province, a member of the Dark Fog Cult, hidden there.”
Wang Ye didn’t just analyze the two simulations.
Instead, he analyzed the previous simulations as well.
Deep within his memories, he remembered the previous simulations all too clearly.
“Also, long ago, I came to the conclusion that the black-robed man who bewitched Lin Lei was also a member of the Dark Fog Cult. They wanted to use the opportunity to release the sealed senior Xiao Tao and disrupt Xinghai Province. Back in the Hidden Mysterious Realm, the fact that the demonized Xiao Tao’s seal was broken was also secretly done by someone. Then, in this simulation, whatever happened in the Ancient Sword Relic definitely has something to do with the Dark Fog Cult! On top of that… Everything only happened after I entered the Ancient Sword Relic!”
Wang Ye’s mind became clearer.
After what happened in Anping County, he was no longer the same person he used to be.
“It seems that the Dark Fog Cult doesn’t know the location of the Ancient Sword Relic. They can’t find it. They probably want to use someone else to help them find it. The Sealed Demon Sword Tomb, professional assessment, the Hidden Mysterious Realm, the way of the sword exchange meet, the sword-testing stone, the Ancient Sword Relic…” Scenes flashed in Wang Ye’s mind.
“Chirp!” Woken up by Xiao Jiu’s voice, Wang Ye’s eyes flew open and a ray of light flashed past.
“Something’s happened?” Wang Ye asked.
“Gugu…” Xiao Jiu’s stomach made a sound.
“Oh… You’re hungry?” Wang Ye came back to his senses and smiled, feeling a little exhausted.
“Let’s eat, let’s eat!”
After two simulations, Wang Ye obtained the sword rabbit’s Eternal Sword Intent and orange characteristic, Battle Genius.
Although the results of the simulation were very heavy, in reality, Wang Ye felt that it was still okay.
He already had a plan in his heart.
The white python and the sword rabbit were, on the other hand, a little depressed. It was probably because the ending was not too good.
Following that, Wang Ye took out the food of the three little fellows.
Xiao Jiu was the most carefree of them all. As it gulped down the fragrant tassel rice, it was so happy that its eyes were just lines. Its mood was not affected at all.
Eating was one of its favorite things to do.
Seeing Xiao Jiu eating so happily, the other two were probably affected as well. The white python and the sword rabbit regained their appetites. They began to gulp down their food as well. The more they ate, the happier they were.
“No wonder many people like to eat when they are in a bad mood… By the way, can pets secrete things like dopamine and endorphins in their bodies?” Wang Ye looked at the three little fellows eating, and his mind randomly pondered.
After the meal, the sky was not dark yet. Wang Ye brought his pets back to Anping County to give the matter further thought and discuss it later.
For the time being, he shouldn’t care about the matters here.
In the next few days, he would first recover his spiritual power, then help the sword rabbit comprehend the Evil-slaying Sword Technique in the sword-testing stone.
He definitely had to go to the Ancient Sword Relic. After all, the evolution materials were there. If he didn’t go, he could only help the sword rabbit simulate another evolution route. The amount of work was unrealistic, so Wang Ye didn’t want to do it again.
Besides, the crossguard was there too.
The white python and Xiao Jiu were developing normally. One was a four-star level three pet while the other was a three-star level three pet. Their spiritual energy values were 480,000 and 390,000 respectively, not a huge difference.
