Simulating Endless Possibilities: Invincible Once I Act

```

[Year 35, while you were refining your Golden Core, you triggered a random enlightenment due to your talent, entering a state of epiphany, and your cultivation speed increased tenfold.]

[In this state of enlightenment, you continuously refined your Golden Core.]

[Looking at the scene within your Qi Sea, with the Golden Core, spiritual energy, and dragon essence all distinct, your thoughts surged.]

[An idea struck you: since a Tenth Grade Golden Core requires fortuitous encounters, could dragon essence be considered one?]

[Instinctively, you tried to mobilize the dragon essence to refine your Golden Core.]

[However, you couldn't control the dragon essence within your Qi Sea.]

[But this didn't deter you. You manipulated the spiritual energy, continuously compressing the space around the dragon essence.]

[Gradually, the dragon essence moved closer to the Golden Core.]

[Ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and you finally managed to press the dragon essence against the Golden Core.]

[Soon, a change occurred. You saw the dragon essence adhere directly to the Golden Core.]

[Then it gradually merged into the Golden Core and disappeared.]

[In the end, you saw a faint dragon pattern appear on the Golden Core.]

[At this moment, your state of enlightenment ended.]

[Looking at the emerging tenth pattern on the Golden Core, you were overjoyed.]

[This enlightenment brought tremendous gains.]

[Previously, you were mindlessly refining without seeing any progress, but now, one enlightenment brought such significant results.]

[You couldn't help but love this talent!]

[And now you knew the path ahead.]

[Year 37, you set off for the Desert of Death.]

[Year 39, you arrived at the oasis within the Desert of Death.]

[Year 43, you watched the sky every day, waiting for the Demonic Dragon to emerge.]

[One day, you felt the desert rumble and saw the Demonic Dragon soar into the sky.]

[Without hesitation, you rushed towards the Demonic Dragon's lair.]

[Two hours later, you reached the entrance of the Demonic Dragon's lair.]

[You glanced at the distance where the Demonic Dragon was battling your father, Jiang Fushan. It seemed the fight wouldn't end quickly.]

[So, without hesitation, you leaped into the Demonic Dragon's lair.]

[Once inside, you recalled the information you obtained from a previous simulation: the southwest corner.]

[After determining the direction, you headed straight for the southwest corner.]

[Then you began smashing the golden rock wall.]

[With your current cultivation far surpassing before, it didn't take long to create a face-sized hole in the thick rock wall.]

[Through the hole, you could see a secret chamber inside, with a giant dragon egg in the center.]

[At this moment, you heard the anxious dragon roar from outside.]

[You didn't slack off, increasing the force of your blows.]

[In just a few minutes, you created a dog-sized hole in the rock wall.]

[Ignoring aesthetics, you squeezed through the hole.]

[Without pausing to observe, you headed straight for the dragon egg.]

[Time was tight, and you had no intention of roasting the dragon egg this time.]

[You took out the prepared hammer and smashed the dragon egg, then buried your head in it, gulping down the contents.]

[Consuming the dragon egg was a decision you made after your enlightenment.]

[Since the tenth Golden Core pattern was formed by dragon essence and was still faint, you thought it might be due to insufficient dragon essence.]

[Thus, this scene unfolded.]

[Time ticked by.]

[You felt your body's strength continuously increasing.]

[Soon, your Martial Dao cultivation broke through to the second level of the Qi Motion Realm, but it didn't stop there and continued to grow.]

[Meanwhile, dragon essence surged within your Qi Sea.]

[Unlike last time, the dragon essence didn't stop at the side of the Qi Sea but headed straight for the Golden Core.]

[Gradually, the tenth pattern on the Golden Core became clearer.]

[Outside, the Demonic Dragon's roars grew louder.]

[You ignored it, focusing solely on consuming the egg.]

[Three minutes later, you felt a tremor, and the rock wall collapsed.]

[A Great Ascension stage black python appeared and swallowed you whole.]

[You died at the age of 63!]

[This simulation has ended.]

[You can choose two rewards from this simulation: Random Enlightenment (Talent), Wind Chasing Art Body Techniques (Minor Achievement), Martial Dao Cultivation (Third Level of Qi Motion Realm), Immortal Dao Cultivation (Perfect Foundation Establishment).]

[Random Enlightenment (Talent)]: Costs 1 million Energy Value.

[Wind Chasing Art Body Techniques (Minor Achievement)]: Costs 1 million Energy Value; (Note: Techniques are divided into Entry, Minor Achievement, Major Achievement, Peak, and Perfection.)

[Martial Dao Cultivation (Third Level of Qi Motion Realm)]: Costs 10 million Energy Value.

[Immortal Dao Cultivation (Perfect Foundation Establishment)]: Costs 100 million Energy Value. (Tenth Grade Golden Core, cumulative refining time increased to 95 years.)

Jiang Yifeng looked at the end of the simulation, feeling a bit regretful.

He didn't expect to be killed by a demonic python in the end.

However, he understood that the Demonic Dragon was likely delayed by his father Jiang Fushan's battle, and then used its roars to summon the demonic python.

After all, the Demonic Dragon had roared many times during the simulation.

But when Jiang Yifeng saw the simulation rewards, a smile appeared on his lips.

He had finally achieved the Tenth Grade Golden Core.

But why wasn't the reward directly labeled "Tenth Grade Golden Core"? Why add the refining time?

What did it mean?

Could the Tenth Grade be further improved?

No matter, he decided to claim the rewards first.

"I choose Random Enlightenment and Immortal Dao Cultivation."

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining Random Enlightenment (Talent), deducting 1 million Energy Value, remaining Energy Value: 11.2 billion...]

[Ding, Immortal Dao Cultivation extracted successfully, deducting 100 million Energy Value, remaining Energy Value: 11.1 billion.]

As soon as the simulator's voice fell.

Jiang Yifeng sensed changes within his Qi Sea.

All the dragon essence in his Qi Sea surged into the Golden Core.

Then, more dragon essence appeared out of thin air, continuously perfecting the tenth pattern on the Golden Core.

A few minutes later, the tenth pattern on the Golden Core was fully formed.

However, Jiang Yifeng's expression was not good.

He suspected something was wrong.

The Golden Core in Jiang Yifeng's eyes now had nine patterns neatly arranged.

They were orderly and connected end to end.

Although they were individual patterns, they were also integrated, resembling a spiral.

But the tenth pattern was far apart from the other nine.

Jiang Yifeng wanted to ask.

"Are you shy?"

Having read Bai Ruoxue's "Annotations on Cultivation Knowledge," Jiang Yifeng wasn't entirely a novice in cultivation.

He knew that the patterns on the Golden Core needed to be integrated to be effective.

Because breaking through the Core Formation stage required connecting the spiritual energy bridge to the patterns on the Golden Core.

Each time spiritual energy was absorbed, it would pass through these patterns before entering the Qi Sea.

These patterns were like a special circuit.

If they weren't connected, the quality of the refined Golden Core would be meaningless.

In his current state, although it was called a Tenth Grade Golden Core, it was effectively still a Ninth Grade.

At this moment, Jiang Yifeng finally understood why the simulator's reward included the cumulative refining time.

He muttered bitterly.

"Well, if I refine an Eleventh Grade Golden Core, the future potential will be higher. Who has seen that before?"

Jiang Yifeng knew how to console himself.

But on second thought, if he could use a new Golden Core pattern to connect the separated patterns, it might indeed be a great thing.
