Chapter 272: 159, Broken Simulator_2
```
"Primordial Spirit Secret Tome—[Hundred Immortals Catalogue]: It meticulously records various Immortal Dharma Aspects."
"Unknown Magical Treasure—[Damaged Simulator]: Seems to be the main body of an ancient simulator, but it is damaged and currently unable to perform simulations. It can only interact online with the help of other subordinate simulators."
After looking over the three treasures that had been produced, Xu Yuan couldn't help but fall silent.
To be fair, the Primordial Spirit Treasure Chest lived up to its name; the three treasures it yielded were all extraordinary.
The Divine Emperor Worm, which could detoxify all poisons in the world, was the bane of all the major demon tribes that used poison as their innate divine ability.
You must know, within the demon tribes there are many species, and each has different bloodline divine abilities.
Even the Zhuxian Scorpion, capable of poisoning immortals, wouldn't dare to claim its venom to be the number one deadly poison among the demon tribes, but this Divine Worm dares to boast that it could neutralize all poisons, demonstrating its preciousness.
It's just a shame that it's of no help to the current situation.
The Dragon Clan to which Long Ao belonged also does not rely on poisons for combat.
There's even less need to mention the Hundred Immortals Catalogue that records various Immortal Dharma Aspects, as it is an object that could drive all Great Vehicle Stage Cultivators mad with desire.
To become an immortal, the first condition is to gather the Nine Phases of Immortals.
But the Nine Phases of Immortals, not to mention being lost in large numbers, only two or three are held within each clan or sect nowadays, and many of them are mutually exclusive.
If one carelessly cultivates Phases of Immortals that repel each other, let alone transcend the heavenly tribulation to become a True Immortal, it would be a luxury even to stay alive.
However, if one had the Hundred Immortals Catalogue, which records all Immortal Dharma Aspects, it would be entirely different.
If it were usual times, Xu Yuan would definitely choose one of these two.
But now, neither of them provides much assistance to the current situation.

Even if cultivation of the Immortal Dharma Aspects could greatly increase combat power, the problem lies in the fact that cultivating each Immortal Dharma Aspect takes a long time, and Xu Yuan simply does not have enough time to cultivate now.
Didn't you see that even Tian Liuli, the reincarnation of the Immortal Emperor, currently only possesses three Immortal Dharma Aspects.
Even if he truly chose this one, it would not change the situation.
He would only end up making a wedding dress for Long Ao.
He then focused his gaze on the last of the third item.
The damaged simulator.
To tell the truth, Xu Yuan was somewhat hesitant.
Although he did not understand why the system's treasure box would contain such a thing, as long as it could be of help, Xu Yuan wouldn't mind.
If it were an intact simulator, Xu Yuan would definitely choose it without hesitation.
But now, it's damaged. If he wanted to perform simulations,
he would only be able to do so by connecting online and using someone else's simulator.
In this world, the only person who likely possesses a simulator, if there are no surprises, is Tao Yaoyao.
It's just that Xu Yuan is not sure whether her simulator is what is referred to as a subordinate simulator.
If he wanted to simulate, it probably would only be possible by linking up with her simulator.
"All in!"
Xu Yuan's eyes flashed.
There was only this method left to try.
Although the damaged simulator was highly uncertain, compared to the Hundred Immortals Catalogue and the Divine Emperor Worm, which were bound not to alter the situation, he had no choice but to pick it.
If it really didn't work out, he could pretend to get close with Tao Yaoyao in the simulator and then ask her to rescue him.
After all, from her point of view, he should not know her yet.
It just is...
Xu Yuan's gaze fell on Liu Ruoxue, and he inexplicably felt a bit guilty.
Although he really had no choice but this option, he still felt somewhat apologetic to Liu Ruoxue.
After all, entering the simulator to connect with Tao Yaoyao was like having an affair with Tao Yaoyao in a dream right in front of her.
And this was still with the help of Liu Ruoxue.
Wasn't this equivalent to him deceiving her into being cuckolded?
Even though at the start, he also didn't know the situation would turn out like this.

"What's the matter?"
Liu Ruoxue noticed his gaze and looked over in confusion.
"Nothing."
Xu Yuan said indifferently.
"Really?"
Liu Ruoxue seemed somewhat skeptical, but seeing he didn't want to talk, she didn't press on and instead asked another question.
"How is it going? Do you have a way to escape now?"
"Not sure yet."
Xu Yuan shook his head and took a deep breath. "I have to try."
Having said that, he immersed his mind into the system panel and selected the damaged simulator.
As he made his selection,
the damaged simulator transformed into a separate panel that floated before his eyes.
"Current number of available online simulation attempts: 5, which can be restored by injecting the power of time and space."
Five chances, huh?
Xu Yuan's eyes flickered.
In that case, the first four attempts would be used to find a way to break through.
If he still hadn't found the way by the fourth try, he would have to ask Tao Yaoyao for help on the fifth.
...
Under the massive Peach Source Divine Tree, a white fox with hints of pink was hugging its fluffy tail, fast asleep.
The sunlight was as bright as ever, filtering through the peach blossoms that seemed eternally fresh and pink, falling on the body of the fox girl.
She, who was still completely unaware of the world outside, suddenly stretched lazily, yawned indolently, and her cute yet incredibly enchanting little face made the maids, who were also Nine Tails Heavenly Foxes, dazzle with admiration and deeply infatuated.
"The cooldown period seems to be over."
Tao Yaoyao muttered to herself, pulling up a slipping strap of her white dress, then revealed a naïve, dopey smile. "Yuan, here I come!"
Not until the girl wiped the drool from her mouth and fell asleep again, did the maid, who had awoken dazed after a long while, pat her chest and say with a lingering fear.
"That was terrifying, just a smile from the Young Master and I was so immersed in the Illusion Technique that I couldn't extricate myself. No wonder there are rumors saying Lady Yaoyao is most likely to become the first emperor in history to unite both the Demon and Human races—she's just too beautiful."
"Yes, if she were to use her Charm Skills, it's unimaginable to think who wouldn't succumb to her charms. And what's even more frightening is, as far as I know, Lady Yaoyao has never practiced Charm Skills."
"That's right."
The maid glanced around stealthily before continuing, "I've heard the Divine Lord often berating Lady Yaoyao, saying all she ever does is sleep without doing any cultivation at all. She not only doesn't know any Charm Skills, it seems she doesn't even practice cultivation much."
"How is that possible? Shouldn't the Young Master's realm be at the Nascent Soul Great Perfection by now?"
Another maid said, shocked.
"Yes, the Young Master has only been born for a decade or so, which would be about three years old in human terms. Just by instinctively consuming the Essence Qi of heaven and earth, she's reached this level; it's simply terrifying!"
"No wonder the Young Master has never left the Peach Source Divine Tree since she was born. If I were in charge, I wouldn't easily let her go either."
"So, you understand why the Divine Lord would spread that rumor, right?"
"Indeed, if it were me, I couldn't allow someone whose name I've never heard to linger in the Young Master's mind like this."
The Nine Tails Divine Lord listened expressionlessly to the discussion of the many maids below, glanced at the fox girl who was smiling foolishly in her dream, and showed a helpless look.
She would have actually preferred to have Tao Yaoyao go out and gain some experience, so she wouldn't just lay around at home, thinking about the man who keeps appearing in her dreams.
Ever since Tao Yaoyao was born, she had given up retreating into meditation and, instead, had been by her side as her Protector, seeing her grow.
With her strength, she could travel anywhere in the world, as long as it wasn't Dawn City or the eight major Sects' sacred lands of the Human race.
Regrettably, though, Tao Yaoyao had no desire to leave home, preferring to nestle there, close to the wild man of her dreams.
Fortunately, she had finally waited for him.
"Even if you really are the second life of an Immortal Emperor as Yaoyao has claimed, you won't get close to Yaoyao."
The Nine Tails Divine Lord clenched her fists and said slowly.
To protect her, she was willing to pay any price.
