NOVEL NEXT Chapter 39 – It’s good that you’re back!
```
[Not long after, you left the ruins of the Heavenly Profound Temple.]
[This time, instead of heading to the Desert of Death, you found a secluded place to cultivate alone.]
[In the fifth year, while practicing the "Wind Chasing Art," you triggered a random enlightenment, increasing your cultivation speed by eight times.]
[The enlightenment not only sped up your cultivation but also made your thoughts more active.]
[While practicing the Wind Chasing Art, you seemed to feel the rhythm of the wind.]
[In that instant, your body techniques advanced from the entry level to the minor achievement level.]
[This filled you with joy, as you felt you had discovered the essence of this technique.]
[You believed that as long as you could clearly sense the rhythm of the wind, your body techniques would make significant progress.]
[Ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and the state of enlightenment ended.]
[Your body techniques improved greatly, but you were somewhat dissatisfied.]
[Because that rhythm of the wind only appeared for a moment, and no matter how hard you tried afterward, you couldn't sense it again.]
[In the sixth year, you focused on refining your Golden Core and practicing your body techniques, making slight progress.]
[Several years passed in the blink of an eye.]
[In the thirteenth year, you disguised yourself and secretly returned to Green Hills City.]
[You didn't go home but hid your identity and stayed in the shadows.]
[This time, you wanted to use the Eye of Insight to confirm the identity and strength of the shadowy figure who attacked the Jiang Family.]
[Although you were almost certain it was an Immortal Slave, everything was still just your speculation.]
[After all, this shadowy figure was the reason you were driven to work so hard, and you had some obsessions in your heart.]
[Of course, besides that, you also wanted to see how your father, Jiang Fushan, managed to escape from this assassination attempt.]
[This was a decision you made after careful consideration.]
[In a previous simulation, you had already escaped from this person's grasp using the Teleportation Jade Plate.]
[It was just bad luck that you encountered another Immortal Slave that time.]
[So you believed that as long as your luck wasn't too bad, escaping wouldn't be a problem.]
[Moreover, this time you were prepared to observe from a distance and not show yourself, so you felt even safer.]
[You hid in a small farmhouse a few streets away from the Jiang Family Mansion. Two months later, you suddenly heard a loud noise.]
[You saw a shadowy figure appear above the Jiang Family Mansion from a distance.]
[At this moment, the Jiang Family Mansion had already collapsed.]
[You quickly used the Eye of Insight to check the person's information.]
[No surprise, it was an Immortal Slave from the Immortal Arrival Sect, named Yang Zuo, at the ninth level of Core Formation.]
[This strength was much lower than you had imagined.]
[However, this was understandable. Previously, without any cultivation, seeing someone destroy the Jiang Family Mansion with a single palm strike naturally made you think this person was very strong.]
[But now it was different. With your Perfect Foundation Establishment, you could also destroy several houses with full power.]
[After confirming this person's strength, you couldn't help but smile.]
[You thought to yourself that soon, this person would no longer be a threat to you.]
[This made you feel much better.]
[While you were checking Yang Zuo's information, another situation occurred above the Jiang Family Mansion.]
[You saw your father, Jiang Fushan, flying in from a distance.]
[Behind your father were several cultivators.]
[After these people appeared, one of them swung a sword, and the shadowy figure named Yang Zuo instantly perished.]
[Then, you saw your father, Jiang Fushan, organizing the remaining members of the Jiang Family to start moving.]
[The cultivators were vigilantly guarding the surroundings.]
In reality, Jiang Yifeng sighed at this point.
His speculation about his father was wrong!
Previously, he had reasoned that there were only two simulations where he stayed in Green Hills City.
But in both simulations, by the twelfth year, his father made different decisions.
In one, when he was still a playboy, his father let him stay at the Jiang Family Mansion.
In the other, when he had some Martial Dao skills, his father told him to flee.
Initially, Jiang Yifeng thought that his father knew about the danger, so he told him to run when he had Martial Dao skills. This seemed correct now.
But his previous analysis, where he thought his father was planning to run with him when he had no cultivation, was completely wrong.
His perspective was too narrow.
His father wanted to protect the entire Jiang Family.
He had brought so many cultivators to ensure the safety of the Jiang Family members.
But judging by the simulation, it seemed he was still a bit late.
The Jiang Family still collapsed, and many people were killed or injured.
"But reality won't be like this. There's still me and the simulator."
Jiang Yifeng chuckled and continued to look at the simulator.
[You were stunned by the current situation.]
[This was completely contrary to your previous speculation.]
[You originally thought that in the thirteenth year, the shadowy figure would destroy the Jiang Family, and your father would start fleeing.]
[But it turned out that your father returned with a large group of cultivators and forcefully killed the shadowy figure.]
[Now, it seemed your father was organizing the Jiang Family members to evacuate.]
[After a brief moment of shock, you quickly activated the Eye of Insight to check the strength of these cultivators.]
[After seeing the information of these local cultivators, your first reaction was: How is this possible!]
[Among these people, several had reached the Tribulation Crossing stage.]
[Of course, this wasn't the key point; it only indicated that they had good talent!]
[The key point was that these people were already over a thousand years old.]
[In a previous simulation, Bai Ruoxue had told you that Heavenly Thunder descended every few decades.]
[Could these people also be Immortal Slaves, from the Immortal Arrival Sect?]
[Impossible, the Eye of Insight didn't show that.]
[The information about the shadowy figure Yang Zuo clearly indicated his affiliation with the Immortal Arrival Sect.]
[But how did these cultivators survive?]
[This left you very puzzled.]
[If it were just a Tribulation Crossing stage cultivator in their hundreds, you might think they started cultivating late and had good talent.]
[But a Tribulation Crossing stage cultivator over a thousand years old must have experienced the Heavenly Thunder tribulation.]
[Could it be that the Heavenly Thunder isn't necessarily fatal?]
[You had a question in your heart, which shattered your previous plans.]
[Originally, you planned to confirm the identity and level of the shadowy figure and then cultivate alone.]
[Now it seemed you needed to interact with these people; perhaps you could gain something different.]
[After making your decision, you walked towards the Jiang Family Mansion.]
[As soon as you approached, the vigilant cultivators stopped you, not allowing you to get closer.]
[Helpless, you had to shout for your father, Jiang Fushan.]
[Upon hearing your voice, your father appeared in front of you shortly after.]
[His eyes were red as he looked at you, as if he had a thousand words to say, but in the end, he only said one sentence: It's good that you're back!]
