Chapter 171: Random Mission: Destroy the Four Great Aristocratic Families!

Su Ming stood up and stretched his body, genuinely feeling the improvement that Dragonblood Body had brought him.

He felt as though his body was now brimming with power, and the strength of his fleshly body had improved even further.

And that was without even using Boiling Dragonblood.

Su Ming knew that if he used Boiling Dragonblood, he could even hold his own in battle against a mighty expert of the Second Tribulation Realm.

After absorbing all the improvements this simulation had brought him, Su Ming looked at his hands with a grave expression.

This simulation had once again brought him a great deal of useful information.

Su Ming had always thought that if he wanted to break through to the Tribulation Realm, he would have to go to the Immortal World. But after this simulation, he realized that his thinking had been completely wrong.

Su Ming had greatly underestimated the situation of the Dead-Land Canglan Realm.

In the Canglan Realm of the Immortal World, Su Ming would absolutely be unable to break through to the Immortal Realm, but within this Dead Land, there was a great hope that he could.

"The revival of the Power of Laws..."

Su Ming recalled how, after the Great Calamity of Heaven and Earth, the Power of Laws would recover. Once that happened, breaking through to the Immortal Realm within this Dead Land would no longer be impossible. One might even be able to break through to even higher realms.

At that thought, Su Ming suddenly slapped his forehead.

"Oh no, thank goodness there’s still time!"

He had suddenly realized that once the Great Calamity of Heaven and Earth arrived and the Power of Laws within the Dead Land recovered, the Human Race would find it impossible to move forward without the Secret Realms.

Fortunately, the good news was that the degree of damage to the Secret Realms was not yet too severe.

Su Ming knew that as long as he found Qin Yang and Su Wanqing in time, the situation could still be brought under control.

His previous idea had been that after the Great Calamity of Heaven and Earth descended, there would no longer be any mighty experts of the Tribulation Realm within the Dead Land. That was why Su Ming had entertained the idea of staking everything on a desperate struggle.

But after the Great Calamity of Heaven and Earth, he discovered that the Power of Laws would recover.

Under those circumstances, if they did not have the Secret Realms, then they could only place their hopes on the Heavenly Dao. Only by helping the Heavenly Dao defeat the Progenitor of the Bizarre Insects could they turn the situation around.

But the problem now was that Su Ming had no way to enter the Heavenly Dao Space at all.

At that moment, Su Ming also felt deeply fortunate that he possessed the Simulator. Otherwise, without it, he would not even know how he had died.

Thinking of this, Su Ming decisively contacted his External Incarnation and instructed it to inform Qin Yang of the situation after finding him. It was also to redraw their cultivation plan and make sure that a portion of the Secret Realms was preserved from pollution.

As for Su Wanqing, Su Ming instructed his External Incarnation to deal with her matter after handling Qin Yang’s situation.

"Thank goodness there’s still time..."

After dealing with the matter concerning the Secret Realms, Su Ming sat down once more and entered seclusion, waiting for Chu Wudi to come knocking.

This would be the first time he faced Chu Wudi in reality, and Su Ming was looking forward to the moment when he would personally kill him.

With that thought, Su Ming closed his eyes once more and began cultivating.

However, the moment he closed his eyes, that eerie heart appeared in his mind.

In the next second, Su Ming abruptly opened his eyes and began gasping for breath.

Among the true insights given by the Simulator was the scene of his encounter with the eerie heart in the Desolate Wasteland of Death.

Originally, Su Ming had not wanted to think about the eerie heart, but when he closed his eyes to cultivate, he found that the image simply would not leave his mind.

"What exactly was that monster?"

"Why did it say it was the Peerless War King?"

"A War King under the Human Emperor?"

Only now did Su Ming recall the words he had heard right before dying in the simulation.

That heart had claimed to be one of the Human Emperor’s subordinates, and something called the Peerless War King.

Although Su Ming did not know exactly how strong a War King was, he could tell from its tone that although it was inferior to the Human Emperor, it had still once been one of the Human Race’s top existences.

Su Ming could not understand why a mighty expert of the Human Race would turn into such an eerie form.

If the Peerless War King had completely fallen into becoming a monster, Su Ming could still understand that. But from its words, it was clear that the Peerless War King still had an obsession it could not let go of.

He could feel that the Peerless War King had wanted to save something, and that had led to its corruption, as though it had turned into the same kind of eerie existence as the Bizarre Immortal Race.

"What exactly happened in the Weiyang Immortal Realm?"

Su Ming knew that the origin of all of this had to begin with the Weiyang Immortal Realm.

At that thought, he could not help feeling a headache coming on.

At his current level, never mind the Weiyang Immortal Realm, he could not even leave the Canglan Realm, much less concern himself with matters of the Weiyang Immortal Realm.

After letting out a long sigh, Su Ming focused his mind and began cultivating, doing his best to forget the matter of that eerie heart.

Half a year later!

Chu Wudi barged directly into the Blood Demon Secret Realm.

Seeing this, Su Ming killed Chu Wudi with a single sword strike. He could not even be bothered to waste words on him anymore.

"Zhuge Qing!"

"Come out. I know you are here, and I know what you want. I have the Heavenly Secrets Art!"

As soon as those words fell, Zhuge Qing walked over before him with a smile on his face.

Su Ming looked at Zhuge Qing and directly tossed him the complete Heavenly Secrets Art.

"What condition do you have?"

Zhuge Qing looked at the Heavenly Secrets Art in his hands in astonishment. After confirming several times that it was genuine, he looked at Su Ming and asked.

"There is only one condition. You must join the Sword Pavilion and cultivate there!"

Hearing this, Zhuge Qing was clearly a little surprised.

He had not expected Su Ming’s condition to be so simple. It was merely to join the Sword Pavilion and cultivate there.

"Agreed!"

Zhuge Qing chose to accept at once. His only goal was the complete Heavenly Secrets Art. As long as he could obtain it, he could agree to any condition.

After leaving the Blood Demon Secret Realm, Zhuge Qing headed straight for the Sword Pavilion.

After Zhuge Qing left, Su Ming looked at the cooldown time on the Simulator and frowned slightly.

【Simulation cooldown: five years and six months!】

Although this increase in cultivation had only added one year to the cooldown time, six years was still a very long time for Su Ming.

He did not have many more six-year spans left to wait.

And now, with no Random Mission available to earn Simulation Attempts, that meant he could only wait for the cooldown to end.

However, in the very next second, a voice interrupted Su Ming’s thoughts.

【Ding!】

【Random Mission triggered!】

【Random Mission: Wipe out all Bizarre Insects among the Four Great Aristocratic Families of the Eastern Region of the Central Continent!】

【Mission reward: Simulation Attempts ×1】

【Mission duration: one year】

"A mission?"

When Su Ming saw the sudden Random Mission, he could not suppress the smile spreading across his face.

He had not expected that one moment he would still be worrying about not having enough Simulation Attempts, and the very next moment the Simulator would hand him a Random Mission and give him a way to earn one.

"Simulator, oh Simulator, you really do understand me. You know exactly what I’m lacking most right now!"

"The Four Great Aristocratic Families of the Eastern Region..."

Su Ming narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the mission target.

As for those Four Great Aristocratic Families, he had wanted to get rid of them long ago, but he had never had the time to deal with them.

Su Ming knew that the Four Great Aristocratic Families all had ties to the various Holy Lands of Central Continent. If he wanted to move against them, then he had to wipe them out as quickly as possible and leave them no chance to seek reinforcements.

He knew that once a Holy Land intervened, the Four Great Aristocratic Families would become very difficult to destroy.
