I Have A Disciple Simulator Chapter 1300 - 805: Entering the Cang King Tomb
Previously on I Have A Disciple Simulator...
When the terrifying space turbulence disappeared, Lu Changsheng steadied himself, now millions of miles away from the ancient star slaughtered by the evil spirit.
An ancient unnamed star floated in the void, and in the middle of the star was a group of palaces covered by a barrier.
"I’ve returned to the Cang King Tomb."
The group of palaces Lu Changsheng saw was precisely the buildings inside the Cang King Tomb.
The space turbulence in the deep void is extremely terrifying. Even Great Experts can only drift with the flow, unable to resist.
"All my disciples, along with those from East Sea Academy and Mysterious Lady Palace, have scattered in the space turbulence. Who knows where they are now?"
"I have the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator, which can simulate their futures to locate them."
Lu Changsheng first simulated the life of Lu Qinglian.
[Ding, you begin simulating the life of disciple Lu Qinglian.]
[Ding, simulation attempts available today: -1.]
[Simulation begins:]
[Five hundred years later, near an ancient star rich in spiritual energy, you will encounter Lu Qinglian.]
[The evil spirit attacks the ancient star to devour nature’s spiritual energy.]
[You encounter the evil spirit and are killed.]
[Simulation ends.]
The simulation result was very brief, and Lu Changsheng furrowed his brows.
He didn’t expect to encounter the evil spirit while searching for his second disciple, Lu Qinglian.
"Could it be that the evil spirit has memorized our auras, so it’s hunting me and my disciples?"
Lu Changsheng sensed something unusual.
Lu Changsheng continued to simulate the future of another disciple, Lin Qingzhi.
[Ding, you begin simulating the life of disciple Lin Qingzhi.]
[Ding, simulation attempts available today: -1.]
[Simulation begins:]
[Lin Qingzhi was trapped on a star depleted of spiritual energy for eight hundred years. Due to the lack of spiritual energy, his cultivation stagnated.]
[The evil spirit attacks the star.]
[Lin Qingzhi is killed by the evil spirit.]
[Simulation ends.]
"As expected, the evil spirit is hunting my disciples. It’s very likely that the evil spirit doesn’t want to expose its whereabouts and aims to kill everyone who sees it."
Lu Changsheng confirmed his hypothesis, convinced that the evil spirit was hunting his group of teachers and disciples.
"My Void Boat was destroyed; I can only rely on the various Immortal Pills I have to replenish True Qi."
"Fortunately, over the years, thanks to my teaching, I have countless Immortal Pills, enough to survive in the void for ten thousand years without worrying about running out of True Qi."
"As long as I find one disciple, the system can continuously return top-grade Immortal Pills."
"But Lu Qinglian, my closest disciple, is fated to be killed by the evil spirit in five hundred years, with little time left."
"How can I kill the evil spirit?"
Lu Changsheng pondered the fact that there were only five hundred years left to confront the evil spirit, and with no disciples triggering the system to return resources, killing it seemed near impossible.
Even seven Great Experts and a group of Divine King Realm powerhouses couldn’t kill this evil spirit, not even when Lu Changsheng used the sixth style of the "Primordial Nine Styles" created by the Human Race Emperor, Bai Emperor. The evil spirit’s realm was terrifying beyond comprehension.
"Lu Changsheng?!"
Suddenly, a cry of surprise rang out. Lu Changsheng turned back to himself to find it was Yuexi, the unparalleled prodigy of Mysterious Lady Palace.
Seeing Lu Changsheng, Yuexi was overjoyed, her heart finally at ease.
Though she was the focus of Mysterious Lady Palace’s nurturing, the number of Elixir Pills she carried was far less than what Lu Changsheng had with the system in hand.
In the void, without a Void Boat, one can only rely on consuming one’s own True Qi to fly. If no replenishment is possible, even Great Experts would eventually become exhausted and burn out once any Elixir Pills are depleted.
The void also houses many dangerous forbidden grounds where even Great Experts could potentially perish if they accidentally entered.
By encountering Lu Changsheng, Yuexi at least found someone to rely on, sparing her from wandering the void alone.
"Were you also brought near here by the space turbulence?"
Lu Changsheng was somewhat surprised to encounter Yuexi.
Yuexi nodded: "That space turbulence was truly formidable, the void indeed perilous beyond compare; even Human Race Emperors might not easily traverse the void. Do you still have your Void Boat?"
Lu Changsheng shook his head: "The Void Boat was already destroyed by the space turbulence."
Yuexi’s delicate face turned slightly pale: "In that case, we can only rely on our True Qi and all the Elixir Pills we have while cautiously exploring the void, hoping to return to the Three Realms."
"The evil spirit has memorized our aura, and it’s hunting us down."
"What?"
Lu Changsheng’s words made Yuexi’s heart tremble with fear, her face losing color.
This evil spirit was extremely terrifying. If hunted by it, neither Lu Changsheng nor Yuexi stood a chance against it.
Yuexi asked nervously: "How do you know the evil spirit is hunting us?"
"This is the result of my deduction. The evil spirit seems not to be a creature of this world. It doesn’t want the powerhouses of the Three Realms to discover its presence. Since we witnessed it devouring the star’s lifeforms, it will try to kill us to silence us. Furthermore, I suspect that the corner’s destruction of one of the Three Thousand Small Worlds we encountered might be the work of this evil spirit. However, the evil spirit underestimated the power of the Three Thousand Small Worlds and suffered a backlash from the World Force, becoming heavily injured. As a result, it intends to devour the life essence and spiritual energy of surrounding stars to heal its own injuries..."
Lu Changsheng used the result simulated by the system to deduce once more, roughly guessing the evil spirit’s intentions.
After hearing Lu Changsheng’s deduction, Yuexi was shocked: "The evil spirit isn’t a creature of this world? Could it be from the Netherworld?"
Lu Changsheng shook his head uncertainly and remained silent, clearly without full confidence in determining the origin of the evil spirit.
Yuexi was worried: "If the evil spirit is still in this area of the void, we must leave this place as soon as possible..."
"The evil spirit’s cultivation technique is extremely mysterious, enabling it to track our aura in the void, making escape nearly impossible. Rather than being hunted down, it might be better to actively seek out the evil spirit and, while it’s severely injured, kill it."
"You... didn’t you just get defeated by that evil spirit? Even if it’s severely injured, the two of us together wouldn’t be a match for the evil spirit."
Yuexi was even more shocked by Lu Changsheng’s plan.
Not long ago, Lu Changsheng had engaged the evil spirit and was crushed. Now he wants to confront it again?
Isn’t this suicide?
Lu Changsheng turned, staring intently at the Cang King Tomb.
Two ancient human clan powerhouses, Cang King, one of the nine Human Kings under the Black Emperor, and Merak Swordswoman, the ninth Sword Maiden of the Ancient Xuan Nu Palace, were buried here.
"We still have a chance to turn the situation around."
"You mean..."
Yuexi realized Lu Changsheng’s intention as he gazed at the Cang King Tomb.
"The Magical Treasures of Cang King and Merak Swordswoman are in the tomb. We descendants can borrow our predecessors’ treasures to eliminate the evil spirit; I believe if the two predecessors’ spirits are in heaven, they wouldn’t object."
Ignoring the possible hidden traps and mechanisms in the Cang King Tomb, Lu Changsheng ventured inside alone.
This was the only method to kill the evil spirit.
"Wait for me."
Seeing Lu Changsheng vanish into the Cang King Tomb’s barrier, Yuexi bit her lip lightly and followed him inside.
