Chapter 656: Chapter 196: Wang Ping Becomes a Saint! The Mysterious Nine-Star Pavilion
 

However, just as Wang Ping was about to try and let Xu Yi’s Golden Finger work its magic and see if he could multiply his resources before moving on to the Paid Simulation, the chat group system’s voice suddenly spoke up.

“Ding, group member Xiao Shitian (93) has joined the chat.”

“Ding, group member Xia Daoguang (94) has joined the chat.”

“Ding, group member Liao Lifeng (95) has joined the chat.”

…

“Huh? Three more newbies? Interesting.”

Wang Ping stopped what he was doing, became interested, and directly opened the chat group page.

Then, Wang Ping saw a very familiar scene.

The old group members’ ‘kind reminders’, the confusion of the newcomers, and then the dilemma of choosing Soul Travel or Physical Travel.

Xiao Shitian (93): “I’m so good-looking, it’s such a waste to choose Soul Travel. Brothers, I’ll go with Physical Travel, watch me land easily, get a powerful Golden Finger and take off instantly.”

Xia Daoguang (94): “As a newcomer, why can you be so optimistic?”

Liao Lifeng (95): “I’m screwed, I’m so unlucky usually; I feel like I’ll die whether it’s Soul Travel or Physical Travel.”

Wu Jun (20): “Wow, the polarization of this group of newcomers is a bit severe. The optimistic ones are super optimistic, and the negative ones are especially negative.”

Fang Yun (3): “Newcomers, a kind reminder – whether you choose Soul Travel or Physical Travel, the first thing after crossing over is to draw your Golden Finger and then explain its abilities in the chat group. If your Golden Fingers are useful, we are more than willing to spend some Group points to revive you.”

Wang Ping (66): “Fang Yun is right. Drawing the Golden Finger is the most important thing, and everything else is secondary.”

Zhao Sihan (87): “Drip, Master Ball, catch Brother Wang.”

Xiao Shitian (93): “Revive? There’s such a good thing? Understood, I’ll go with Physical Travel.”

After dropping this sentence, Xiao Shitian directly chose Physical Travel.

A second later, the system’s voice rang out.

“Ding, group member Xiao Shitian (93) has died, Death Replay Video has been recorded, all group members should take this as a warning and learn from it.”

Wang Ping (66): “…..”

Everyone: “……..”

Zhang Hu (5): “Damn, he’s already dead? That’s too off the wall; he didn’t even last a second.”

Zhang Jun (70): “…..landing and turning into a box….no, there’s a high probability he didn’t even land before he died…..”

Fang Yun (3): “I must say, it’s been a while since something like this happened in the chat group….this death speed is far faster than Chen Kang’s.”

Chen Kang (67): “……”

Zeng Lingdong (89): “Really unlucky….thankfully I’m still alive.”

Xia Daoguang (94): “Damn, I’ll choose Soul Travel. Whoever chooses Physical Travel is a fool.”

Liao Lifeng (95): “….I second the person above.”

Ye Xiaofan (75): “Terrifying, the newbies are frightened.”

Qin Tian (77): “Can you blame them? I’d be scared too.”

As everyone kept voicing their complaints, the Death Replay Video was finally recorded, and Wang Ping immediately clicked to watch it.

Then, Wang Ping’s eyes became strange.

That’s because the place Xiao Shitian crossed over to was truly miserable, going straight to the central area where two terrifying powerhouses were fighting. The moment he appeared, he was shredded by energy and turned into dust, not even lasting a second.

“However, this world seems very powerful. Moreover, this system is quite interesting.”

Wang Ping looked at the images in the Death Playback Video and stroked his chin.

In the video, both fighters had unique Martial Souls on their heads, which granted the cultivators powerful forces and special abilities as they fought each other.

Their strength had reached the level of the God Monarch Realm.

Wang Ping didn’t think that Xiao Shitian would encounter the most top-level powerhouse battle in this world right after crossing over. There was a high probability that this world had even stronger existences than those in the God Monarch Realm.

“Alpha, how strong is this world?”

When unsure, ask Alpha directly. Wang Ping said in his heart.

“Very strong, the most powerful realm is equivalent to the Saint King in your world, and even more so, it may be close to the half-step Great Saint Tier.”

Alpha replied to Wang Ping.

“A Martial Soul System that can rival a half-step Great Saint? Interesting.”

Wang Ping became interested.

In his world, it was still the Last Dharma Age.

In the Last Dharma Age, even if one could defy the heavens and become a Saint, it was still very difficult to continue improving and advance.

Once reaching the Saint Realm, the dependence on the roots and special constitution for resources would decline.

In the Saint Realm, the most important thing for cultivation is willpower and enlightenment.

With successful enlightenment, one’s cultivation would skyrocket.

If enlightenment failed, one might die and lose the Dao.

This, it can be said, is thrilling at every step.

Of course, although the roots and special constitution would decline in proportion, it does not mean they are useless. Some people who cultivate steadily have deeper foundations and are stronger in the same realm.

Besides, special constitutions and unique bloodlines also have significant enhancements on combat strength.

“In the Last Dharma Age, where the Heavenly Rules are not manifested, even if I have the Incomplete Version of the Space-Time Dao Body, it would be difficult to attain enlightenment, and my advancement speed would not be fast. I might even be stuck at the Saint Tier.”

Wang Ping’s eyes flickered as he thought to himself in secret.

“If it weren’t for the difficulty of cultivation during the Last Dharma Age, the majority of old monsters would not be self-sealed, waiting for the Last Dharma Age to pass before continuing to cultivate. This is because cultivating during the Last Dharma Age is a waste of one’s lifespan.”
