Chen Li was silent for a moment with a solemn expression, then asked you to take a look at the Heavenly Book. You hesitated for a moment, but finally took out one of the pages and handed it to him.

[After Chen Li took it, he just shook his head slightly and immediately returned the fragment of the Investiture of the Gods to you.]

He Changsheng was stunned. When did the village chief's realm become so high? He could remain calm and unmoved even by such a precious treasure as the fragments of the Investiture of the Gods.

It seems that the other party's fear of the Dragon King Palace is greater than their covetousness for it.

He Changsheng guessed that the other party would most likely not keep him and would definitely try every means to make him leave.

Chen Li was silent for a moment, then used both emotional and logical persuasion to persuade you to leave Xiaohe Village. You expressed your reluctance, but ultimately failed to change his mind.

You choose to leave Xiaohe Village, but on your way to Yaochi Fairyland, you encounter Qi Zhu, who is hunting down those from Yaochi Holy Land. You choose to stay away from him and return to Yuhua Xianzong.

You hid in the dark. After investigation, you discovered that Chen Li had already taken Jing Mo away before you. You chose to kill Li Daocun.

【Li Daocun, died.】

After plundering the Yuhua Immortal Sect, you fled. Unexpectedly, your actions had been discovered by spies from the Eternal Night Demon Sect. The Eternal Night Demon Sect, regarding you as a grave threat, exaggerated your threats and reported them to the White Lotus Divine Sect.

You were soon hunted down by the White Lotus Cult. Although the White Lotus leader didn't personally attack you, the numerous White Lotus Cult members who had taken the Spiritual Transformation Pill consumed you. After several days and nights of bloody battle, your spiritual energy was exhausted and you died.

This time it's too high profile...

He Changsheng was helpless about this, as hidden threats were always everywhere.

But it is not surprising. The Eternal Night Demon Sect has been lingering for a long time, especially after relying on the White Lotus Sect, it has become more unscrupulous and is a complete bully.

[At the end of this simulation, you can choose one of the following rewards.]

[All gains from the body refining in this simulation.]

[A further weakened version of Dharma Realm.]

[The identity of a spy planted by the Eternal Night Demon Sect.]

He Changsheng chose reward one again.

As for the identity of a spy, it doesn't mean much to him. Next time, he just needs to keep a low profile, quietly kill Li Daocun, and then secretly plunder the cultivation resources.

The next moment, his physical strength increased again, and he was one step closer to the strength of the demon clan in the God Transformation Stage.

In the following days, He Changsheng continued to refine his body, until after another simulation, his physical strength finally reached the strength of the demon clan in the God Transformation Stage as he wished.

The simulation results were again disappointing. Although Da Qi seemed calm on the surface, there were actually undercurrents, and many forces were eyeing the remaining scroll of the List of the Gods.

[This simulation consumed 5720 spiritual power points... Current remaining spiritual power:.]

[...After you completely plundered the Yuhua Immortal Sect, you gained a great deal and chose to go to the Treasure Refining Cliff in the Yaochi Fairyland to concentrate on cultivation.]

[You were oblivious to the outside world's gossip. Two years later, your cultivation progressed rapidly, and you were just one step away from breaking through to the fourth level of the Return to Void Stage. But then a few uninvited guests arrived.]

You glanced up and saw that it was the Dragon King Palace's messenger you hadn't seen for a long time. Without hesitation, you leaped directly towards the place where you were doomed.

[But the Dragon King Palace's messenger only glanced at you, then turned his gaze away and headed straight for the stone platform where the magic sword was once stored.]

Um?

He Changsheng was stunned again. The envoy from the Dragon King Palace did not come for him, but for the magic sword?

But no matter what, the Treasure Refining Cliff is not a place to stay for long. These people are not easy to deal with. Once you are targeted by them, nothing good will happen.

[At the end of this simulation, you can choose one of the following rewards.]

[Compared to the physical strength of a demon in the God Transformation Stage.]

[The cultivation level of the fourth level of the Return to Void Stage.]

[The purpose of the Dragon King Palace envoy's visit.]

He Changsheng chose reward one again.

He had already roughly guessed the purpose of the Dragon King Palace envoy's visit, and it was still very easy to avoid and resolve in reality.

Besides, this happened two years after he left Xiaohe Village, so he didn't need to rush.

Then, his physical strength increased again. It was still the familiar feeling, but it was a little more intense.

Yuan Jing had long been numb to this. At least this time, He Changsheng did not break through to the Spirit Transformation Stage the next day, but took a full year.

For him, this time it was much more normal.

Then, He Changsheng began to give up. It was difficult to improve his physical strength, and even his cultivation level could not make any significant progress due to lack of training resources.

He Changsheng calculated the time and figured that in less than half a year, he would have to confront the village chief as described in the simulation.

Seeing this, Yuan Jing immediately looked disappointed and said, "Listen to my advice and practice the Breaking Yuan You Lu with all your strength. Your future achievements will be limitless. If you feel that the Breaking Yuan You Lu practice is not going well, I will replace it with something else, okay?"

It is obvious that He Changsheng's talent in body refining is definitely far beyond the orthodox immortal methods.

If you continue to practice in this way, you may be able to achieve sainthood in the flesh!

By then, he will be able to benefit from it, and at the very least, he will be able to restore his former glory.

He Changsheng smiled calmly: "Isn't this just missing the point?"

Yuan Jing was speechless for a moment. All the words this kid said were his!

After a long while, Yuan Jing said angrily, "Giving up on practicing the body-refining method is truly putting the cart before the horse. You must think carefully and don't act on impulse."

He Changsheng held his forehead and said, "Of course I won't act on impulse. I believe you have also seen that my current cultivation speed is much slower than before. In fact, my potential for cultivation has been exhausted. If I delay any further, I will achieve nothing."

Yuan Jing wanted to persuade him to try again, but the other party had made up his mind and it was useless for him to say more.

......

Half a year later.

Seeing that time was running out, He Changsheng went straight to Chen Li. He thought it would be easy to control the other party, as he only needed to link him to the Dragon King Palace.

Otherwise, even if he knew that the Cangxi Immortal Sect was doing a lot of evil things outside, Chen Li would most likely choose to ignore it.

Chen Li looked at He Changsheng who appeared in the yard, frowned slightly at first, and then without hesitation, he put all the tea table in front of him into the storage ring.

He Changsheng was silent for a moment, then said, feeling speechless: "Village Chief, you are at least a great master in the Mahayana stage, can't you just be generous for once?"

Chen Li's face flushed, and he sighed, "I'd love to be generous, but being generous costs money... and you know we live in seclusion here, so the less we use these things, the less we have, but they're so precious!"
