One Trait Draw Per Year Even Simulations Count

Hua Wuyan and the others thought Chen Yi had only refined an ordinary Five Regions Sacred Pill. Although its effects were miraculous and considered unparalleled.

But to a Martial God, aside from gaining an extra twenty years of life on the first consumption, it held no real significance.

Little did they know, Chen Yi had refined a Five Regions Sacred Pill+1!

A pill that had gained intelligence, with effects greatly enhanced beyond a normal Five Regions Sacred Pill!

“Master, are you going to eat me?”

A familiar little girl’s voice rang out.

The Five Regions Sacred Pill used its surface patterns to mimic the master’s face, piecing together a cute baby face as it gazed timidly at Chen Yi.

Chen Yi extended his right hand, and the Five Regions Sacred Pill floated into his palm.

“Master won’t be eating you this time.”

“But your disciple is a pill; being refined means the only value is being consumed.”Eat it, he still would.

But only when the simulation began, consuming it within the simulation timeline.

That way, each simulation would start with an extra forty years of life!

Plus, it would save him a “Senior Tomato User” trait slot.

Thinking about it this way, the trait that had created the iconic scene of this book was actually retiring early. How lamentable.

“Little Pill, now that you have intelligence, you can have your own life... Why does that sound familiar to me... But anyway, Master may need you someday in the future.

When that time comes, you don’t have to be sad or reluctant, because we will meet again eventually.”

“Your disciple believes in you, Master!”

“Calling you Little Pill over and over doesn’t sound good. I’ll give you a name.”

“Yes! Yes! Yes!”

“Your formal name is Five Regions Sacred Pill, so let’s call you... Xiao Wu!”

“Great name! Great name! Master, is it the ’Wu’ for dancing?”

“That ’Wu’ isn’t appropriate. It’s the ’Wu’ from May Day, the Labor Day.”

“Awesome! Awesome! The ’Wu’ from May Day!”

Xiao Wu cheered and celebrated in Chen Yi’s palm.

After the celebration, Chen Yi sent Xiao Wu into the Cauldron Realm, adding her to Chen Yi’s luxurious family collection.

A few months passed quickly.

Over a year had gone by since Chen Yi’s fifth simulation ended.

During that time, Chen Yi had sent Third Sister and Shen Jia to a nearby small town, assigning two Martial Kings from the Shen Family to protect them.

The Li Family, Sword Lord, and others arrived one after another.

The Li Family sent dozens of Martial Kings and Martial Saints, along with thirty thousand elite soldiers.

The Sword Lord brought the Eight Pillars of the Five Regions, the pillars and core disciples of the eight great sects, also totaling thirty thousand.

Combined with the Shen Family, this force of one hundred and twenty thousand elite human martial artists was fully assembled.

Not long ago, the Sword Lord had gone to the Starry Domains to verify things with the Shen Family’s higher-ups.

In truth, even the Shen Family higher-ups dared not claim the Path to Immortality definitely existed. Founding Ancestor Shen simply chose to believe Chen Yi and take the gamble.

Since Founding Ancestor Shen had personally stepped in, the Sword Lord felt this matter wasn’t entirely baseless.

So, upon returning, he began issuing broad invitations to the great sects of the Five Regions, explaining the situation to see who was willing to join.

Unexpectedly, everyone was enthusiastic about the Path to Immortality leading to the Real Realm.

Divine Arms Pavilion, Myriad Methods Sect, Vajra Temple, Danxiang Valley—all seven of the Five Regions’ top sects besides the Sword Sect agreed to join the campaign.

Each sect sent its top experts, and even the sect masters themselves personally participated.

So Chen Yi saw many familiar faces, like Divine Arms Pavilion Master Zhuge Zhujin, Myriad Methods Sect Master Wan Sanqian, Beast Taming Sect Master Ouyang Yu, and others.

There was also Tian Xiaofeng, who during Chen Yi’s impersonation of Yi Qianjun in the Starry Domains after the fourth simulation, had soaked in the Star Source together and peeked at the female disciples’ pool with him.

“Advance!!”

On the vast Golden Sand Beach, only Chen Yi was shouting, his aura impressive but sounding hollow.

Where were those one hundred and twenty thousand martial artists?

Of course, Chen Yi had stuffed them into the Cauldron Realm.

The Cauldron Realm was packed to the brim.

It had practically exceeded its limits. With so many people stuck inside, it wouldn’t be long before everyone suffocated to death.

But that was fine; it didn’t need to last long.

There was no way Chen Yi would lead one hundred and twenty thousand people running toward the edge of the world. They’d die of old age before reaching the Ancient Wasteland Secret Realm’s location.

Even if Chen Yi flew at full speed alone, it would take him many years to get there.

It was too far.

From the very beginning, he never planned to fly.

Instead, he would load everyone into the Cauldron Realm, then ask Hua Wuyan to borrow the power of the Earth Spirit and teleport him there!

“Senior Hua, we can set off.”

Hua Wuyan stood right behind Chen Yi, watching him shout “Advance” all by himself.

“Alright, but what’s the exact location? The end of the North Sea is still incredibly vast.”

Chen Yi struggled to recall the memories inherited from the simulation.

The Posthumous Affairs memories were all fragmented, but Chen Yi still managed to capture the key information.

“That area has three small islands arranged north to south. The islands are completely barren, not even a blade of grass.”

“With that, it won’t be hard to find them.”

Hua Wuyan began using her privilege as the Guardian, borrowing the Earth Spirit’s power to inspect specific areas of the human world.

Her perception was relatively crude, like a bird surveying from above, nothing like Chen Yi’s Seven Luminaries Ascension state, where he could even see treasures buried deep beneath the earth.

“Found them.”

Hua Wuyan placed a hand on Chen Yi’s shoulder.

Silently, the two vanished from their spot.

Chen Yi blinked once, and when he opened his eyes, the golden sand was gone. Beneath his feet was an endless expanse of blue ocean.

Three small islands dotted the sea surface, not far apart from each other.

Chen Yi quickly opened the Cauldron Realm and settled the one hundred and twenty thousand people inside onto the three islands, organizing them into the Shen Family, the Li Family, and the Sects.

Martial Kings, Martial Saints, and Martial Gods who could fly left the Cauldron Realm and directly took to the air, hovering in the sky, awaiting further orders.

The Great Demon was still as impatient as ever.

“Chen Yi! Where’s the Ancient Wasteland Secret Realm?! There’s nothing but stagnant water here!”

The human world was a single central continent surrounded entirely by ocean, dotted with scattered islands.

The farther from the continent, the fewer traces of life.

Even though the sky was clear, the clouds white, and the water blue and tranquil here, in reality, neither the islands nor the underwater world had a single living creature.

That’s why the Great Demon called the seawater here “stagnant water.”

Chen Yi looked around.

He confirmed this was the spot he’d seen in the fragmented Posthumous Affairs memories, where the human world coalition army clashed with the Alien Race legions and accidentally stumbled upon the Ancient Wasteland Secret Realm.

“The Ancient Wasteland Secret Realm should be a small world like the Star Force Mystic Realm or the Cauldron Realm. It’s isolated from our external world and needs special means to open.”

Unfortunately, the inherited Posthumous Affairs memories were too fragmented. Chen Yi couldn’t see the exact process, nor did he know how the human world coalition army accidentally opened the secret realm.

Shen Yang, now merged with Shen Qingshan, began extracting various materials from his Storage Ring to set up a formation.

“Let me set up a Mystic Perception Formation. This formation can detect the slightest spatial fluctuations. If there’s a small world here, it will definitely find traces.”

The Great Demon urged.

“Hurry it up!”

Shen Yang executed it effortlessly, and a Heaven-Grade formation was completed above the sea.

Invisible ripples spread from the formation, scanning spatial information for ten thousand li in every direction.

A moment later.

On the vast Golden Sand Beach, only Chen Yi was shouting, his imposing manner impressive but sounding hollow.

“Is this the place, Brother Chen? I don’t see any difference in the space here compared to anywhere else.”

The Great Demon snorted coldly.

“Chen Yi, you’d better not be messing with us! Otherwise, I’ll be the first to make you pay!”

Chen Yi ignored the impatient Great Demon and instead said to Shen Yang.

“Give me a set of the materials from that formation just now.”
