Chapter 57 - 57: Group Task!
“Ding, the detection of anomalies in Zhang Jun’s world has triggered the Group Task Publishment: Eliminate the Weirdness. This group task is mandatory, and the number of participants required is 10. As the number of group members is less than 10, no selection process will be done, and all members are forcibly joined.”
“Ding, the transportation time is 10 minutes later. Please make the necessary preparations.”
At this moment, a pop-up style page suddenly appeared in front of Wang Ping, causing his face to change drastically.
The chat group had been quiet for more than a month, and now a group task suddenly sprung up? Moreover, it’s a mandatory task, which meant trouble, and it was definitely going to be dangerous…
“No, I must strengthen my abilities!”
Wang Ping clenched his fists, feeling a sense of crisis in his heart. He didn’t even have time to look at the chat group, and immediately called up the Life Simulator page without hesitation.
“System, I want to do a paid simulation!”
Wang Ping said in his heart.
“Ding, this life simulation will cost 256 Lower-tier Spirit Stones. Would you like to proceed with the simulation now?”
The system’s voice sounded.
“Pay.” Wang Ping said.
“Ding, Life Simulator activated, Talent Refresh in progress…”
“Talent Refresh Successful, congratulations on refreshing the White Talent:
Escape Master and Green Talent – Immunity to All Poisons.”
White Talent: Escape Master – When the host escapes, there will be a speed boost.
Green Talent – Immunity to All Poisons: With this talent, the host will gain a strong resistance to poison.
“System, I choose the second talent.”
Wang Ping looked at the two talents, especially the Green Talent – Immunity to All Poisons, and his eyes immediately lit up.
After all, the world he was going to execute the group task in was Zhang Jun’s Zombie World. If he was accidentally bitten by a zombie, he would become a zombie as well.
It could be said that this talent came just in time.
“Ding, Talent selection successful, life simulation begins.”
[Daya Calendar 480, April 20th, you diligently practice cultivation.]
[Daya Calendar 486, Xia is in turmoil, the Third Prince is killed by the Ninth Princess in the Imperial City, shocking the world, who are amazed by Xia 9th
Princess Xia Yuan’s strength and assertiveness.]
[The actions of Xia 9th Princess Xia Yuan have frightened the other princes and princesses, who jointly submitted a petition to the Old Emperor, requesting him to punish the Ninth Princess. They believe that her actions were unreasonably cruel, even killing her own brother.]
[Facing a joint petition from the princes and princesses, the Ninth Princess showed unparalleled strength, directly presenting evidence of the Third Prince’s multiple assassination attempts on her, silencing the entire court. In the end, the old emperor strongly sided with the Ninth Princess, making it clear to all the ministers who was the heir, keeping their minds active and putting an end to any indecisiveness, causing them to pledge their loyalty.]
[In the year 487 of the Daya calendar, you and Bai Tianhong appeared together in Black Wind Forest. Bai Tianhong powerfully killed the Tier-7 Demon Beast Silver Moon Wolf, preventing a Beast Tide from erupting. You also took the opportunity to meet with the village chief and others.]
[At the end of the year 492 of the Daya calendar, the old emperor abdicated, and the Xia Ninth Princess Xia Yuan ascended the throne, becoming an empress who ruled with awe-inspiring authority over the Xia dynasty.]
[At the beginning of the year 493 of the Daya calendar, the Xia country fell into chaos. Bandits roamed the land, and uprisings began in many regions, with the people in great distress. Empress Xia Yuan was furious and swiftly dispatched troops to suppress the uprisings.]
[By the end of the year 494 of the Daya calendar, the empress governed the nation well, old and new officials began to rotate, and fresh blood emerged. The Xia dynasty showed signs of revival, and the lives of the people gradually improved.]
[Although you were in the Sword Spirit Sect, you observed all the happenings in Xia country. At the same time, you had a plan and had been searching for certain treasured medicines.]
[At the end of the year 495 of the Daya calendar, your cultivation reached the Spiritual Origin Realm Double Peak. You successfully refined the 4th Tier Elixir – Life Prolonging Elixir using Yang Recovery Grass combined with Qi Yu’s Third and Fourth Tier Treasured Medicine, which could extend the life of the Unbeatable Ancestor of Xia by twenty years. You arrived at the Imperial City, met with Empress Xia Yuan, and exchanged the elixir for many benefits. She was very grateful and allowed you to enter the imperial secret spiritual pool.]
[You were bathed in the spirit pool, absorbed the spiritual energy, and gained significant benefits. Your cultivation broke through continuously, reaching the
Spiritual Origin Realm 4th-Tier.]
[In the Xia country, thanks to your elixir, the Unbeatable Ancestor of Xia remained alive and did not sit idle. His terrifying power continued to threaten all sides, and no one dared to act recklessly.]
[Not long after, the supreme elders of the Sword Spirit Sect killed two monster beasts and took away the Fire Spirit Flower.]
[In the year 496 of the Daya calendar, the empress continued her reforms, gradually eroding the power of the vassals and arousing turmoil and bloodshed in Xia. Unable to tolerate this, the vassals finally began to rebel. Consequently, the imperial army and the vassals engaged in fierce battles, resulting in heavy casualties on both sides. However, due to Xia Yuan’s effective governance, the Imperial army’s strength did not deteriorate like in the past, and it remained temporarily stable.]
[Not long after, the Unbeatable Ancestor of Xia emerged from the mountain and suppressed all sides. All the major vassals were overpowered and forced into submission. The heads of the various vassals were beheaded by the Unbeatable Ancestor of Xia, who dares not move against him. With no choice, they submitted to the empress and cooperated in her reforms, only to preserve their own lives.]
[After undergoing a tumultuous period of reform, Xia resolved many issues and began to flourish, causing the Zhao and Chu states to become extremely wary.]
[Following this, you once again went to the Imperial City and urged Empress Xia Yuan to find MO Fan, intending to nip him in the bud.]
[Regardless, Empress Xia Yuan didn’t question your motives and proclaimed a search for MO Fan’s whereabouts across the land. However, in a very frustrating turn of events, even such a massive search effort failed to uncover any anomaly, with all the MO Fans in the world gathered together.]
[This was an inevitable outcome as you only knew the name but didn’t know
MO Fan’s appearance and age. It was like searching for a needle in a haystack, with no traces to follow.]
[In the year 500 of the Daya calendar, on June 1st, your cultivation progressed, reaching the Spiritual Origin Realm 4th-Tier. That year, the Chi Clan people mysteriously disappeared again, leaving you no choice but to sigh.]
“They disappeared again…”
Wang Ping looked at the luminescent screen, sighing at the outcome.
[In the year 510 of the Daya calendar, you successfully broke through to the
Spiritual Origin Realm 5th-Tier, and Bai Tianhong’s cultivation reached the Spirit Elemental Realm Great Perfection, wanting to start closed-door cultivation to break through the Transcendent Realm. Although your cultivation speed paled in comparison to that of those relying on elixir, you could feel that your foundation was getting more solid, allowing you to go further in the future.]
[However, you knew that the Xia country would be in turmoil soon, so you asked Bai Tianhong not to close himself off yet and accompany you on another adventure. Bai Tianhong agreed, believing that simply focusing on arduous cultivation would not suffice and that the probability of breaking through to the Transcendent Realm was too low, requiring the discovery of opportunities.]
[That same year, the realm of Jianghu began to experience chaos as numerous strong individuals disappeared, and even entire townsfolk vanished mysteriously. This caught the attention of the Empress, and an investigation was launched.]
[However, the strong individuals sent by the Xia Court to investigate also mysteriously disappeared without a trace. The Empress, infuriated, dispatched Spiritual Realm Experts to conduct the investigation.. Yet, they still lost contact quickly and were unable to transmit any information back!]
