The man was devouring, but the system was in the primordial world.

After seeing the three options, Bai'e was slightly taken aback.

"This is getting interesting—"

Option A is the standard choice. The three-thousand-year-old wild fox's start is unremarkable, but the fox clan is a powerful clan with strong backing. If they can really establish a connection, the future is still unknown.

Secondly, there are some points to consider regarding options 'B' and 'C'!

First, there's the young boy who's just been "enlightened," and the use of the word "enlightenment" is quite insightful.

It is well known that the culture of children was very prevalent in the prehistoric world... Just look at how the children of the old Taoist Hongjun were raised by him to become the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother. Qingfeng and Mingyue, who were under Zhenyuanzi's command, could occasionally have ginseng fruits as a treat. Even the unlucky Biyun and Caiyun had Shiji tirelessly hunting down the culprits.

It can be said that the presence of a virgin is a matter of face for powerful figures.

Even for ordinary cultivators, the enlightenment child will impart some of the essence of the teachings—choosing this option is equivalent to having a natural backer.

As for the gourd.

Speaking of gourd chalk, one immediately thinks of the most famous innate gourd vine in the prehistoric world.

The Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd of the Old Ancestor Hongyun, the Purple-Gold Gourd of Taiqing for storing elixirs, the Water-Fire Gourd that reaches the heavens, the Yellow Gourd from which Nuwa crafted the Demon-Summoning Banner... these somewhat famous treasures all originated from the Primordial Gourd Vine.

Based on the starting strength corresponding to the simulation options, the "mountain" in this "gourd in the mountain" power cannot be Zhou Mountain, the ancestor of all mountains. Similarly, the "gourd" inside cannot be a primordial gourd vine. At most, it is an ordinary spiritual plant that cannot even reach the realm of immortals.

However, the gourd itself is special.

Choosing this option should give you a high probability of obtaining a magical artifact...

"Unfortunately, ordinary spatial treasures are quite common in the Devouring World."

A realm lord can cut through space and integrate into objects. The so-called treasures of the primordial world... even the Mountain and River Map, are more attractive to him because of their domain-like nature.

"Choose B."

As the words fell, the light screen in front of them began to change rapidly.

You are a spirit butterfly born in Mount Qiyun.

【Mount Qiyun connects with the earth's veins in all directions and reaches the heavens above. Impure air flows freely, and spiritual energy permeates the mountains, creating a scene reminiscent of a celestial realm】

You and several spirit butterflies were born together in the boundless sea of ​​flowers on the front mountain. You came and went together, but your sense of kinship was obscured, yet you displayed a unique talent.

You are naturally able to harness the power of wind, moon, and starlight.

Because of your exceptional destiny, which surpasses even the slightest deviation, you were chosen by a Taoist priest who had cultivated himself in the mountains for many years.

One day, the Taoist master emerged from seclusion, drew a boundary on the ground, and casually enlightened you.

He declared himself the master of Qiyun Mountain and adopted "Xiaoyao" as his pseudonym.

The Mountain Lord, the Carefree Taoist, has cultivated for countless ages and has been deeply immersed in the Immortal Realm for many years. You were enlightened by him, and upon reincarnation, you possessed the cultivation level of Refining the Spirit and Returning to Emptiness.

The carefree Taoist was very satisfied.

Butterflies, by nature fond of nectar, possess a unique understanding of all kinds of mysterious trees and plants.

His innate heritage involves the transformation of medicinal properties and the fusion of liquids and pills, a massive undertaking. Some trivial matters still require a young boy with spiritual insight to handle them.

Having tested your comprehension, the Carefree Taoist will impart to you the "Cloud and Mist Elixir Classic".

"Isn't this exactly what we need – someone to do odd jobs?"

At least he obtained a lineage, and Bai'e didn't mistreat child laborers like the carefree Taoist.

In the simulation, he had put in so much effort, working day and night to tend the fire and grind medicine. Whatever he received was what he deserved.

Let's continue looking down at the chalk.

[You are born with the ability to harness the power of wind, moon, and stars, and your spirituality is exceptionally strong—you have demonstrated extraordinary talent in cultivating the "Cloud and Mist Elixir Scripture"]

Your cultivation level has improved by leaps and bounds.

Time stands still in the mountains; the passing of winter's chill makes one unaware of the year's end.

[In the blink of an eye, the former spirit butterfly has broken through to the peak of the Void Refinement and Dao Integration stage, only one step away from the Immortal Realm.]

However, while the power of magic lasting ten thousand years is easy to obtain, supreme enlightenment is hard to find.

Having failed to find your own path to enlightenment after several unsuccessful attempts to break through, you were trapped before the Immortal Realm and nearly shattered your Dao heart.

"Where is the Carefree Taoist?"

Bai'e felt somewhat speechless. He had gone to great lengths to enlighten the child, and the child was almost exhausting himself. Instead of rushing to the rescue, he was just making a scene!

However, he soon realized that he had misunderstood.

According to the normal traditions of a sect, the type of master determines the type of disciple.

Similarly, the simulated Psylocke is nearly destroying itself, and a certain big shot who wanted to live as long as heaven and earth isn't faring much better—

You try to seek help from the carefree Taoist master, only to discover that he has been in seclusion for many years.

You're a bit impatient.

However, the carefree Taoist was in seclusion to prove his immortality, and his spiritual ascension could not be disturbed in the slightest. Therefore, he set up unparalleled protection at the entrance of the cave.

Unable to find help, you could only wait silently at the cave entrance, diligently studying the art of alchemy.

You begin to combine your years of insights with Taoist alchemy.

[As your cultivation deepens, your lifespan is wasted, and you have yet to witness the emergence of the Carefree Daoist.]

Finally, one day, thunder roared, and Mount Qiyun was filled with sorrow. You rushed into the Ten Thousand Yuan Cave and found that the mountain lord had already passed away, leaving only his immortal body.

Your path is blocked.

The innate grand formation outside Mount Qiyun still exists, but it cannot be sustained. You hardened your heart and used your refined alchemy to activate the celestial and terrestrial veins of the four directions, exhausting the power of the entire mountain to forcibly refine the Carefree Daoist.

"Holy crap!!!"

Bai'e's eyes widened as he stared at the words on the screen, which were stained with a murderous aura and seemed to be bleeding. His face was full of admiration. "So ruthless?"

"However, even if we do it this way, we'll most likely still not find the path we need to cultivate..."

Qiyun Mountain transformed from a sacred mountain into a demonic realm.

[You successfully broke the law with force, cultivated an immortal body, and greatly increased your lifespan, but because you severed the karmic connection of the spiritual energy in that area, you fell into the demonic path.]

You don't think you're wrong.

The path to enlightenment can be found in the blink of an eye. You don't want to end up like the carefree Taoist, toiling away for years only to become a decaying shell.

The grand formation outside Mount Qiyun gradually crumbled.

Knowing full well that this place was not safe to linger, you immediately began searching for treasures. Having lived in Qiyun Mountain for many years, you were extremely familiar with the location of the carefree Taoist's treasure.

You have obtained the Thousand-Year Azure Grass, the Spirit Pearl Fruit, and the Ten-Thousand-Year Cornelian Cherry...

[You have obtained a low-grade immortal-level alchemy cauldron... You have obtained a number of pills... You have obtained 32 empty spirit-level gourds...]

[You have obtained the Wind and Cloud Robe... You have obtained the Mystic Fire Dust Brush...]

【…】

You have obtained one spirit deer corpse... You have obtained Hundred-Flavor Flower Nectar... You have obtained several fish corpses...

Cretaceous could only watch helplessly as these things unfolded before its eyes.

In the simulation, the Spirit Butterfly is incredibly greedy, taking away any useful treasures in a flash, and even those that might be useful later, it tries every means to take them away as well.

Finally, he watched helplessly as the text on the screen changed to—

You've plucked the entire Qiyun Mountain bald!

"Gurgle~"

Bai'e swallowed hard, convinced that the person on the screen was definitely not him.

What personality... what simulation? Based on my actual personality, if it were me, how could I possibly do something so suicidal while already burdened with karma?

In this primordial world, debts of karma must be repaid!

Such an outrageous operation, if performed by a truly virtuous cultivator, would undoubtedly result in "dark clouds gathering overhead" and "death without guilt."

But since things have already progressed to this point, he's genuinely curious...

How far will this enchanted butterfly go?
