[You fought one against three, relying on the exquisiteness of the Bishui Sword Technique, your ability to fight against enemies of higher levels, and Yuan Jing's assistance, you completely slew them.]

[You disguised yourself simply, wearing the other party's attire, and attempted to replace them. However, not long after you infiltrated the Netherworld Divine Mansion's team, you and Yuan Jing were discovered.]

You chose to reveal Yun Fei's name again, but the demon from the Netherworld Divine Mansion didn't believe you. You immediately killed the demon, but a Mahayana-level elder from the Netherworld Divine Mansion soon caught up with you and decisively took your life.

Uh...same old trick failed?

He Changsheng shook his head, without much emotion in his heart. He had long expected that the Netherworld Divine Palace would not fall for this.

The main purpose of this simulation is to improve one's cultivation, and exploring the Netherworld Divine Palace is just a side effect.

He Changsheng suddenly had an idea and looked at Yuan Jing thoughtfully. The other party was knowledgeable and might know the origin of the black lotus.

Even if I don't know, it is still necessary to discuss with Yuan Jing how to deal with the black lotus before it transforms.

As the saying goes, three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang. Two of them are not as good as one, but they should be able to be half as good.

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

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

[Poor disguise.]

[Portrait of the man who killed you.]

He Changsheng immediately made a choice: "I choose one!"

Suddenly, his cultivation level naturally broke through to the eighth level of the Return to Void Stage, bringing him one step closer to the Mahayana Stage.

He Changsheng thought about it and realized that although the main purpose of his current simulation was to improve his cultivation, the simulation also had to be meaningful.

Even if it is difficult to break the deadlock, it will be fine for him as long as he can find out some valuable information.

According to the trajectory in the simulation, Black Lotus will come to the door only in a few years.

Therefore, he had more than enough time to respond and was not in a panic.

But he didn't have a clear idea of ​​how to do it. He could only squeeze out all the energy he had gained from the simulation and then try again.

But before that, He Changsheng felt it was very necessary to ask Yuan Jing for advice first.

Maybe there will be some unexpected discoveries.

He Changsheng asked, "Fellow Daoist, have you ever heard that in the demon realm, there's a demon whose true form is a black lotus, and who, when transformed, reaches the Mahayana stage of cultivation? She transformed into the lake at the foot of the Heavenly Demon Palace."

Yuan Jing was somewhat bewildered. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "The black lotus you speak of might be an ancient species, but I've never seen one myself. This type of demon race is blessed with exceptional natural resources. Once allowed to grow, they become unparalleled monsters. Could it be that the black lotus you speak of is one of the great demons that has risen to prominence in recent years?"

He Changsheng felt that what Yuan Jing said was probably right. This black lotus was definitely not recently formed, but was an ancient alien species that had been hidden until now and suddenly appeared for some unknown reason.

The biggest possibility at the moment is that it is related to the demon god.

He Changsheng had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and asked, "Then do you know of any way to prevent the other party from transforming?"

Yuan Jing thought for a moment and said, "That's easy. Of course, we should attack him at the critical moment of his transformation. Not only will he fail to transform, but he won't be able to transform again in the short term."

He Changsheng blinked.

This was somewhat different from what he had thought before. In his opinion, there wouldn't be much difference in Black Lotus's strength before and after.

I didn't expect it would be so easy to make Black Lotus fail in its transformation.

He Changsheng said with a delighted expression, "This means that after the other party failed to transform, his cultivation level will be greatly reduced?"

Yuan Jing looked peculiar and said, "What are you thinking? The failure of transformation is just not being able to transform into a human form. For the demon race, only the original body is the foundation. Although it will have some impact on the cultivation, it is actually not that big."

He Changsheng: “…”

So, you said loneliness?

He Changsheng asked puzzledly, "Why do the demons transform?"

He had never thought about this problem. If the original body was the basis, the demons could just show their true form to others. Why bother to transform?

Yuan Jing was slightly surprised and thought to himself, "I really don't know how this kid has cultivated to this point. He doesn't even know such simple common sense."

Perhaps the other party pays less attention to the demon race.

But these are not important. Yuan Jing casually explained: "Of course, the cultivation speed will be faster after the transformation. Otherwise, how can the appearance of the human race compare to our original appearance?"

He Changsheng glanced at him, said nothing, and silently opened the simulation.

[This simulation consumed 5750 points of spiritual power... Current remaining spiritual power:.]

[...You have spent three long years, and all your cultivation resources have been exhausted, but your cultivation shows no sign of breaking through to the eighth level of Return to Void.]

[You chose to assign Yuan Jing to spread the news that the Dragon King Palace's messengers were killed by the Grand Elder of the Netherworld Divine Palace.]

[After Yuan Jing finished spreading all this, you chose to return to the Wuming Taoist Temple and continue your cultivation.]

The Dragon King's Palace envoy immediately set out for the Netherworld Divine Palace and sent a message to the Dragon King. During this time, the Dragon King used the law of cause and effect and quickly found you.

He Changsheng was stunned for a moment. Wasn't it agreed that the credit could not be attributed to people with higher cultivation?

He originally thought that since the law of cause and effect could not be applied to people with higher cultivation, Yuan Jing should handle this matter to ensure it was foolproof.

I didn't expect the knowledge to be completely useless.

Think of this.

He Changsheng was suddenly shocked. Could it be that the Dragon King himself was an immortal?

In this case, even in Yuan Jing's prime, his cultivation level was not as good as the other party's.

At the same time, the Grand Elder of the Netherworld Divine Palace also immediately noticed the Dragon King Hall envoy who was spying outside and killed him in a few rounds. After tracking him down, he quickly locked his spearhead on the Dragon King Hall branch in Da Qi. She snorted coldly and claimed that she had not yet caused trouble for the Dragon King Hall, but she did not expect them to come to her door.

The Grand Elder of the Netherworld Divine Palace quickly uprooted Da Qi's hidden branch of the Dragon King Palace. As she was about to leave, she suddenly thought of you, Master Yun Fei.

[In the nameless Taoist temple, the Dragon King unexpectedly met the Great Elder of the Netherworld Divine Palace.]

He Changsheng's eyes widened immediately. This was really an unexpected success, an absolute pleasant surprise.

However, his situation was still not optimistic. This man and this demon would eventually have a winner. He didn't know if it was too late for him to run to the fairyland of Yao Chi.

Perhaps, before the Black Lotus arrives, it would be a good choice for him to go to the Treasure Refining Cliff.

What He Changsheng is curious about now is which of the two women is more powerful.

Judging from the information currently known, Black Lotus is definitely no match for the Dragon King, who is suspected to be an immortal.

You chose to take the opportunity to slip away, but the Great Elder of the Netherworld Divine Palace was defeated in a single blow. After the Dragon King imprisoned him, he pursued you, and you were quickly captured by the Dragon King.
