Simulator: Starting as a Green Snake and Transforming into a Dragon

Gu Yuchuan bared his venomous fangs, jumping up and down in the cave while cursing incessantly. How could the Beast Taming Sect be so persistent? Several of their disciples had already died, yet they still wouldn't let it go. And what's more, some demons actually betrayed their own kind to the Beast Taming Sect. How could they do such a beastly thing? It was utterly outrageous! And what's more, he had died again under the sword light. He took out his little notebook and wrote down Xuanming's name.

He made a decision: once he became a divine dragon and invincible in the cultivation world, he would destroy all flying swords. He would ensure that flying swords, something that caused him such heartache, would never appear in the cultivation world again.

[Rewards available for this simulation: Qi Refining Level 6 cultivation (50 Dragon Points). Would you like to redeem?]

There's no need to choose now, of course he'll choose yes. After the cultivation entered his body, he felt much stronger and safer, everything was different.

He began to review the simulation, with the most important matter being the Beast Taming Sect. The Beast Taming Sect's plans were far-reaching, far from being a small-scale operation; it seemed like they were truly preparing for a full-scale war. He needed to make the demon race take this matter even more seriously.

Now, it's not like he just transmigrated. He knows clearly that Yunhai Marsh is the last habitat of the demon race. Without Yunhai Marsh, his living space would be very small. Therefore, it is very necessary to help the demon race. So, he needs to find this toad spirit first. He saw the location of the toad spirit in the simulator. It wasn't too far away, but it was already outside the territory of Yunxi River and had reached the nearby Mingxi River.

The king of the Mingxi River is a jellyfish, who is now at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining. In the past, his relationship with the King of Vipers was very bad, so the two sides did not communicate. If he went there rashly, there would be a great deal of danger. So, he was about to go out, but then he felt something was wrong and decided to go find the King of Vipers instead, in case the water of the Mingxi River was too deep.

Actually, he could have used one of the simulation attempts now, but he didn't. He was waiting to use the simulation attempts to exploit the bug of the Yellow Sprout Pill again, which would allow him to advance to the seventh level of Qi Refining. It would be even better if he reached the late stage of Qi Refining, when he would have divine sense, and his combat power would more than double.

Upon arriving at Yunxi Palace, the clam maiden treated him with great respect. After all, he was already a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining, while the shrimp soldiers and crab generals back then did not have such high cultivation levels. Naturally, he could only show respect, and her graceful bow was full of elegance.

"Clam Maiden greets Fellow Daoist Green Snake. May I ask what brings you here today?"

Gu Yuchuan has always been a snake who knows proper etiquette. Since the clam woman has bowed, he naturally has to return the courtesy. However, he is a snake now, so he can't even clasp his hands in greeting. He can only make his tone more amiable.

"Fellow Daoist Clam Maiden, there's no need for formalities. I've come today to see the Great King of Vipers. Please help me convey my request; this matter is quite important and cannot be delayed."

The clam maiden naturally wouldn't stop a cultivator who thought he was at the sixth level of Qi Refining.

"Alright, then wait a little longer, fellow Daoist. Someone, bring two fruits for Fellow Daoist Green Snake to eat. I'll be right back."

Before long, a maid brought Gu Yuchuan to the Serpent King. The serpent's aura was even stronger than the last time they met. It was a mystery how he cultivated.

Clearly, the Serpent King shared this sentiment: "Indeed, the bloodline of my serpent clan is still the most powerful. You, a mid-grade demon beast, have such a cultivation speed. Compared to the shrimp soldiers and crab generals, or even the black serpent, you are much stronger. You have just gone through a great battle and have already broken through again. If you are willing to join my Yunxi Palace, I can bestow upon you the title of Green Serpent King, and you will enjoy the same status as the original black serpent."

This was already a great show of sincerity, but his ambitions lay elsewhere, so he shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I came here today not for this matter, but because I have discovered something. Recently, many monsters in our Yunxi River have gone missing. It turns out they were sold to the Beast Taming Sect by the people of Mingxi River. I suspect that Mingxi River, and even their Jellyfish King, have already submitted to the Beast Taming Sect."

The Serpent King's triangular pupils radiated an astonishing aura, and his tone became solemn; "Are you sure? Do you know that if you casually fabricate a Qi Refining Stage Perfection expert, and he comes to me asking me to kill you, I can't say anything else? Do you have any evidence?"

Gu Yuchuan wasn't afraid. He raised his head, looking confident: "I really don't have any, but Your Majesty, some things don't need evidence. A wild goose leaves a trace. As long as you investigate, you'll definitely find clues. You can start by investigating a jade toad, and you'll surely find something."

The Serpent King stared at him for a long time before continuing, "Alright, I'll report this matter. However, if the outcome is wrong, we might both be punished. I can still protect myself, but you might face certain death. As usual, you'll stay in Yunxi Palace. I'll provide you with all the cultivation resources unconditionally. Focus on your cultivation. If this matter is true, you'll have accomplished a great feat, and I'll ask the Xuan Turtle Demon General for a reward for you. Clam Girl, take him to cultivate."

After saying that, he flicked his tail, and a burst of magic sent him out of the cave. The clam maiden led him to a familiar room and activated a spirit-gathering array for him.

"Fellow Daoist Green Snake, just stay here and rest. I've activated this Spirit Gathering Array for you. Focus on your cultivation. Even people from our Cloud Tide Palace can't use this Spirit Gathering Array casually. You should cherish it."

Gu Yuchuan nodded and went into the cave. After thinking for a moment, he decided not to conduct the simulation.

He wanted to know exactly what would happen next, and how he could profit from it. But this brought up a very difficult problem: he couldn't take the Yellow Sprout Pill, otherwise he would miss one chance to exploit the bug. He would have to cultivate on his own. Fortunately, his cultivation level had indeed improved a bit too quickly. Although he had the system's help and didn't have any problems with unstable cultivation, too fast was definitely not a good thing. He needed to be steady and slow down.

He was once again forced to begin his seclusion, hoping it wouldn't last too long. Whether his prayers were answered or their investigation was exceptionally easy this time, the Serpent King returned on the fourth day and asked the Clam Girl to summon him. Seeing the Serpent King's happy expression, he knew they had found out everything.

"The Beast Taming Sect is located to the east, where there is a bee-keeping forest. In three days, you will go and attack that place. This mid-grade magic artifact, the Azure Water Pearl, can enhance water-attribute power and even has the effect of gathering spiritual energy for cultivation. It is extremely precious, so I'm giving it to you. You must complete the mission."

His expression was like that of Benboerba. What? You've given me this task? Why didn't you just tell me to unify the human race?
