Beneath the Huai River.

In the dark and murky depths, where visibility was near zero, silt stirred and scattered with the current.

There, at the bottom, lay a colossal black dragon, stretching over a thousand meters in length.

Upon closer inspection, one would notice its eyes were tightly shut, as if in slumber.

Yet even in its sleep, the residual dragon威(wēi) [威: Might; power; force] emanating from the black dragon rendered this part of the river a forbidden zone, deterring any aquatic life from entering.

After an unknown period.

The black dragon slowly opened its eyes.

The moment it did, an immense pressure accompanied its awakening.

This black dragon was none other than Ji Zheng.

The instant Ji Zheng opened his eyes, he couldn't resist flicking his dragon tail.

The movement caused the entire Huai River to tremble.

An increase of two thousand years directly.

No wonder he possessed such terrifying power.

Ji Zheng savored the power within his dragon form, unable to suppress a feeling of comfort.

These two thousand years of cultivation had truly multiplied his combat strength several times over.

"Wait, how many days have passed?"

Ji Zheng summoned his subordinate, Old Tortoise, and after some questioning, learned that twenty days had passed.

That meant six days had passed since the Kunlun Mountain passage had been restored.

And tomorrow marked the revival of the Jianmu Divine Tree.

Furthermore, Ji Zheng learned from Old Tortoise that the Golden Crow had descended upon the Huai River, but upon sensing his aura, it chose to leave rather than cause trouble for the Huai River Dragon Palace.

"It's good that these twenty days passed without incident."

Ji Zheng quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

His power had increased significantly.

And it had only taken twenty days.

It was a completely profitable venture.

"How about going out to test just how powerful I am now?"

Ji Zheng hesitated for a moment.

But ultimately decided against it.

Best to be cautious.

Currently, the outside world was unaware of his existence, with only a few, like the Golden Crow, knowing of him, but even they didn't know the extent of his power.

He still intended to wait until he was truly invincible before making his presence known.

With these thoughts in mind, Ji Zheng recalled the matter of starting a simulation.

In the previous simulation, he had died to the Black Emperor's portrait.

The Black Emperor's portrait seemed to be more powerful than the other portraits.

Its power was such that it had instantly killed him in his last simulation.

However, if the Black Emperor's portrait was so powerful.

Why hadn't humans taken it out sooner?

The Black Emperor's portrait could kill him instantly.

That also meant that the Black Emperor's portrait could easily kill existences like Lu Wu and Ying Zhao.

Humans had no reason to hide it and not use it.

"Could it be because of the Jianmu Divine Tree?"

Ji Zheng fell into thought.

In the last simulation, he, Xing Tian, and Kun Peng had joined forces to scatter a wisp of Ying Long's power.

Leading to the Jianmu Divine Tree being without an owner.

Only then did humans seize the Jianmu Divine Tree.

Ji Zheng pondered whether the reason the Black Emperor's portrait could be used, or had such power, was because the Jianmu Divine Tree had been occupied by humans.

"Perhaps I could try to seize the Jianmu Divine Tree. With my current power, I might be able to contend with that wisp of Ying Long's power."

"According to the timeline, tomorrow is when the Jianmu Divine Tree will revive, and Ying Long will personally revive. Perhaps I can wait until Ying Long has fully revived, then strike and defeat Ying Long to seize the Jianmu Divine Tree's duties."

Ji Zheng wondered if he should clash with Ying Long in the simulation first.

He thought for a long time.

And ultimately decided to do it.

It was just a simulation anyway.

He could test whether he could fight Ying Long with his current power.

With these thoughts, Ji Zheng began to take action.

He continued to entrust the Huai River Dragon Palace to Old Tortoise's management, while he remained in the riverbed.

In any case, the palace was gone.

He could only lie in the water.

"Start simulation."

Ji Zheng silently said in his heart.

A screen immediately rose up.

【Simulation initiated, consuming 4096 simulation points, current simulation points remaining: 19069.】

Damn.

It's increased, how many times has it increased?

Ji Zheng's dragon eyes widened.

He couldn't believe it.

Although he had expected it, he was still shocked when he saw the number of points consumed for a single simulation.

Previously, starting a simulation only consumed 512 points, but now it was over 4000, had it increased eightfold?

This was outrageous.

Ji Zheng was silent, but could only accept it.

【Simulation initiated.】

【Day 1, you are in the Huai River, you want to compete for the Jianmu Divine Tree, and immediately head towards the southwest.

Along the way, riding the clouds and mist, your strength has just been greatly improved, and you have not fully controlled it. The dragon威(wēi) [威: Might; power; force] you inadvertently emit makes the demons within a hundred miles prostrate on the ground.】

【Day 2, the Jianmu Divine Tree revives, and a pillar of cyan light rises into the sky. At this time, you also successfully arrive at the location of the Jianmu Divine Tree.

You see the Jianmu Divine Tree, which is a tree hundreds of meters long, without branches or leaves, with some faint cyan mist entwined around it.

When you arrive, an existence with a mud dragon body also flies towards you, it is Ying Long.

You and Ying Long glance at each other, your dragon威(wēi) [威: Might; power; force] collide with each other, although you do not speak, you already know each other's purpose, and you start a great battle.】

【Day 3, you and Ying Long are in a stalemate, relying on the support of the dual elements of 癸(guǐ) [癸: tenth of the ten Heavenly Stems] water and 甲(jiǎ) [甲: first of the ten Heavenly Stems] wood, facing a wisp of Ying Long's power, you are not at a disadvantage at all, and even to some extent, you have the upper hand, but you still cannot defeat Ying Long...】

Sure enough, he was no longer weaker than a wisp of Ying Long's power.

Ji Zheng was a little excited.

He didn't expect that he could fight Ying Long on equal terms in such a short period of time.

Even if this was only a wisp of Ying Long's power.

What level did a wisp of Ying Long's power belong to in today's world?

It belonged to the top level!

Ying Zhao and Lu Wu in their weakened state were unlikely to win against this wisp of Ying Long's power even if they joined forces.

"Now I finally have the power to influence the situation."

Ji Zheng deeply realized this.

As long as the world was not reconnected, he was one of the absolute overlords!

The simulation continued.

...

【Day 4, you and Ying Long are still in a stalemate...】

【Day 5, you and Ying Long are still fighting, during which humans or alien beasts are involved in your battle, and you are instantly wiped out. You are now both in a rage, determined to defeat each other...】

...

【Day 7, in your prime, in the stalemate battle, you finally defeated a wisp of Ying Long's power, and you began to suppress Ying Long...】

【Day 8, you completely defeat this wisp of Ying Long's power. With the disappearance of this wisp of Ying Long's power, you also occupy the Jianmu Divine Tree...】
