My Simulated Road to Immortality-Chapter 1213 - 1166: Who Determines Right or Wrong

"However, the Essence of Source Power that you provided me seems to be... compared to what is normally obtained from cultivation,"

"More advanced?"

Daoist of the Hundred Blossoms deliberated over his choice of words and slowly asked.

Li Ping naturally wouldn’t tell Bai Hua that the reason why this Essence of Source Power was so much more effective than usual was his intent to use the power of universal faith to sublimate it into Essence of Source Power.

However, all his current attempts had ended in failure.

After all, even power discarded by True Immortals was beyond ordinary, not easily controlled.

"It’s just your misconception. How is your recovery? If it’s almost done, we should prepare to leave soon," Li Ping said indifferently.

Daoist of the Hundred Blossoms forced a smile, having no other option, he sighed and bid his farewell to travel afar.

"Once you ensure the absolute safety of our main base, you can consider campaigning against other Small Worlds."

"Knowing the exact locations of each Small World, I might even sneak in directly, shifting the entrance into the Void near Da Qi."

"Spirit Tree, Empire... "

"And the Ghost Realm."

Just as Saint Emperor Li Ping returned to the Saint Emperor Seat to sit and ponder the future direction of the Holy Dynasty,

his disciple Sun Erlang sought an audience.

"Uh, Master. An item I fished out of the Fishing Pond earlier..." Sun Erlang seemed somewhat uneasy.

"Speak freely."

Sun Erlang then explained the matter.

It turned out that since the last fishing competition concluded, those who had won prizes were mostly absorbed by various institutions of the Holy Dynasty.

Among them, a middle-aged man named Quan Ruochu caught Sun Erlang’s attention and was taken under his command.

What he had fished out of the pond was a Blue Light Ball.

At that time, Li Ping had personally examined it, identifying it as an ordinary object known as Ghost Orchid, so he didn’t pay much attention to it.

But now, according to Sun Erlang, this Ghost Orchid, which appeared to be only of Nascent Soul tier quality at best, had exhibited capabilities entirely inconsistent with reason after some meticulous cultivation by Quan Ruochu.

"Although Quan Ruochu is middle-aged, he has achieved nothing significant. Both parents deceased, no wife and no children. His only love in life is fishing and gardening, with a calm temperament, and no great ambitions. Hence, he was not too discouraged after fishing up the blue light orb; in fact, he loved the Ghost Orchid even more than other treasures."

"Originally, I thought the Ghost Orchid grew like a regular flower, thriving in soil and nourished by Spiritual Energy. But after Quan Ruochu planted it, no matter how carefully he tended to it, it was always languishing, on the verge of wilting. With his deep affection for the flower, Quan Ruochu did something utterly unthinkable to save the Ghost Orchid," Sun Erlang bowed his head, speaking in a low voice to the Emperor.

"He actually planted the Ghost Orchid into his own body! Using his flesh as soil, nourishing it with his blood essence..."

"Within a few days, he went from a relatively robust man to being as thin as kindling, his breath faint! Yet he did not give up, still planning to use his last bit of heart’s blood to nourish it."

"Having not seen him for a few days, I went to look for him, and this was the scene I encountered."

Sun Erlang’s voice was somber: "I initially wanted to directly eradicate this demonic flower, but Quan Ruochu threatened with his own life, saying as long as the flower lives, he lives; if the flower dies, he dies..."

"And considering that this was still a treasure given by you, Master, I hesitated and didn’t act. But watching Quan Ruochu becoming weaker, his death not far off, I ultimately couldn’t just stand by and watch."

As Sun Erlang spoke, Li Ping had already locked onto Quan Ruochu’s location and began closely examining his internal condition.

After all, it was just a blue light orb and there was nothing particularly mysterious about it at first glance.

After waiting for Sun Erlang to finish speaking, Li Ping shook his head, his tone ominous.

"Erlang, you have greatly disappointed me."

Sun Erlang’s body trembled slightly, his head bowed even lower.

"As a leader, one should command the whole army, not waver one’s emotions for an individual, or even a small fraction of tens or hundreds."

"Since you became my disciple, this is the first time you have actively sought an audience with me. Is it really just for this matter?"

After a long silence, Sun Erlang said hoarsely, "Master sees clearly. If it had been an instant death, I might have remained indifferent. But to watch someone familiar slowly have their life drained, withering away... Indeed, I cannot keep my heart calm."

"I still look to Master for punishment."

The voice of Li Ping, booming continuously like the Divine Thunder from the heavens, echoed in the Saint Emperor Seat.

"The reason I am disappointed in you is not only because of your indecisiveness but also because you fail to distinguish right from wrong. The Ghost Orchid..."

"You should go back and have a closer look!"

Li Ping, with a wave of his hand, expelled Sun Erlang.

Sun Erlang initially felt a tightness in his chest, but then, as if he understood something, he hurriedly went to Quan Ruochu’s residence, feeling overjoyed.

With a hint from his master, Sun Erlang studied once again, and finally discovered the secret of the Ghost Orchid.

Although on the surface, the Ghost Orchid was continuously devouring Quan Ruochu’s essence. At the same time, it differentiated a miraculous power that kept the flame of Quan Ruochu’s life from extinguishing.

In this brink between life and death, the Ghost Orchid thrived.

Meanwhile, Quan Ruochu was undergoing a complete transformation.

"His sliver of vitality is all tied to this Ghost Orchid. Had I recklessly cut it off then, it would have been a scenario of both the flower and the human perishing. I almost made a huge mistake!" Sun Erlang couldn’t help but feel a chill of fear.

He sealed the entrance, not allowing any outsiders to disturb them. He then also moved a miniature "Heaven and Earth Furnace" nearby to ensure the density of the Spiritual Energy around them.

After doing all this, Sun Erlang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I’m thankful for the master’s guidance," he said somewhat gratefully.

However, what Sun Erlang did not know was that the Ghost Orchid indeed helped maintain Quan Ruochu’s vital heart vessel.

But it was not out of gratitude for him planting it; it was merely a survival instinct until it found a new host.

As Quan Ruochu, only at the Energy Refining Stage Cultivation, could not withstand such unrestrained absorption by the Ghost Orchid, his complete death was only a matter of time.

If it weren’t for external forces helping.

And the reason he seemed healthier was purely because Saint Emperor Li Ping had lent a hand.

"Is it good or evil, right or wrong?"

"Before reaching the final outcome, no one can accurately judge."

"Only by moving step by step, reaching the end, can one vindicate oneself."

"The process... is not important."

Saint Emperor Li Ping sat in the Saint Emperor Seat, his thoughts undulating slightly within his spirit consciousness.

...

In the endless White Mist, within a part of the Mystical Realm of the Ghost Realm.

"How... how many ice-sealed corpses are there here?"

Brought into the Reverse Life and Death Array by Sacred Embryo Li Fan, Shang Shaojun, witnessing this horrifying scene, exclaimed in shock.
