Chapter 53 – The combination of reality and simulation
Jiang Yifeng didn't visit the Pleasure House to listen to music on the day the simulation ended, but in the days that followed, he continued to go there daily.
Another week passed in the blink of an eye.
Today was the day the simulation count refreshed.
Jiang Yifeng was already waiting in his room.
Soon, the simulation count refreshed, and Jiang Yifeng silently chanted.
"Start Simulation!"
[Consumed 1 simulation count, remaining count 0]
[Drawing Blue Talent costs 100,000 Energy Value, drawing Purple Talent costs 1,000,000 Energy Value, please choose!]
"Draw Purple Talent."
[Ding, 1,000,000 Energy Value deducted, drawing Purple Talent, remaining Energy Value 3 billion...]
[Congratulations Host, you have acquired the talent: Yimu Divine Body.]
[Yimu Divine Body]: Extremely strong vitality, possessing super self-healing abilities.
Seeing this talent, Jiang Yifeng had an idea.
Since he had self-healing abilities, could it be paired with Martial Dao?
Martial Dao mainly involved body tempering. Previously, apart from practicing the set of movements from the nameless technique, he didn't dare to try other dangerous body tempering methods.
But now, with this strong self-healing constitution.
He felt it was a perfect match for Martial Dao.
Jiang Yifeng thought he could give it a try in this simulation.
However, he quickly shook his head, deciding that this simulation should still focus on Formation Dao.
Only by improving Formation Dao and repairing the formation left by Senior Lu Wuya could he simulate for a longer time.
After some thought, Jiang Yifeng continued to look at the simulator.
[17th simulation begins.]
[You glanced around, confirming you had entered the simulation.]
[On the first day, you left Green Hills City under the cover of night.]
[On the second day, you arrived at the ruins of Heavenly Profound Temple in the Evergreen Mountain Range.]
[On that day, you cleaned up the ruins and buried the bones.]
[On the third day, you began to comprehend formations.]
[In the first year, you made almost no progress.]
[In the second year, by summarizing the previous year's experience, you felt that mere comprehension might not be enough, so you began to practice.]
[You set up various formations nearby every day, constantly improving your proficiency, hoping to gain some new insights.]
[In the third year, Bai Ruoxue descended.]
[She discovered you and, after some examination, asked if you were willing to become her disciple.]
[You didn't hesitate and agreed.]
[Three days later, she said she would take you out of this sealed land in the Southern Regions and asked if you were willing to leave.]
[You agreed without a second thought.]
[This time, your purpose in coming to the ruins of Heavenly Profound Temple was just to hitch a ride to the Endless Sea.]
[You wanted to go to the Endless Sea again, to the Mystic Turtle, to comprehend the sealing formation.]
[You felt this would greatly help you improve your Formation Dao.]
[Of course, you could also go to the Endless Sea by yourself; you knew you could get there by heading southward.]
[But you thought it was too troublesome; going by yourself would take years, and the journey was dangerous and unknown.]
[Although you didn't encounter any danger on your last simulation, what if you did this time!]
[After all, you didn't have the route map from the last simulation, so it was still more convenient and safer to let Bai Ruoxue take you.]
[In the blink of an eye, a few days passed, and Bai Ruoxue brought you to the Endless Sea.]
[As soon as you arrived, the Mystic Turtle emerged from the sea.]
[Bai Ruoxue bribed the Mystic Turtle with spirit stones, and eventually, the Mystic Turtle accepted the spirit stones and suppressed you both.]
[Afterward, the Mystic Turtle threw Bai Ruoxue out of the Southern Regions, telling her to bring ten billion spirit stones to take you away.]
[You knew in your heart that the Mystic Turtle was lying, but you didn't expose it.]
[The Mystic Turtle took you to a small island.]
[Upon arrival, the Mystic Turtle immediately fell into a deep sleep, ignoring you.]
[You weren't nervous at all; instead, you walked towards the depths of the island.]
[You knew there was a part of the sealing formation there.]
[You could observe the operation of the formation up close.]
[Just as you started walking, the Mystic Turtle opened its eyes.]
[It was puzzled, thinking: are young people nowadays so bold?]
[On the first day on the island, you dared to ignore it.]
[As a result, you were in trouble; before you reached the sealing formation, the Mystic Turtle caught you.]
[It opened its huge mouth, threatening to eat you if you acted recklessly.]
[You were stunned.]
[Weren't we allies? Why did things change?]
[In fact, the Mystic Turtle was also a bit annoyed; it thought: this young man's talent is good, and he practices Divine Dao; it believed you had a chance to completely break this sealing formation in the future.]
[Once the formation was completely broken, the chains binding it would lose most of their power, allowing it to escape.]
[But you were too reckless, so it wanted to teach you a lesson, to instill some respect!]
[Otherwise, with such recklessness, you might die young; who knows when another Chosen like you, capable of breaking the sealing formation, would appear.]
[After that, you behaved yourself, not daring to act recklessly.]
[In the fourth year, apart from occasionally fishing at the island's edge, you did nothing else.]
[You didn't know why the Mystic Turtle's behavior differed from the last simulation, but you understood that such a powerful being was not someone you could provoke, so preserving your life was important.]
In reality, Jiang Yifeng, seeing this, felt a bit overwhelmed. It seemed that his simulated self was really scared by the Mystic Turtle.
This was not according to the original plan!
But it wasn't really the fault of his simulated self.
The Mystic Turtle was just too unpredictable.
Even though it was an ally, why scare him unnecessarily?
In the end, Jiang Yifeng sighed and silently chanted.
"Start a one-day deep simulation!"
He felt he had to intervene in reality.
He couldn't waste time like this in the simulation.
[Ding, starting 24-hour deep simulation, consuming 240,000 simulation energy.]
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Yifeng had entered the simulation.
He didn't hesitate and walked directly towards the depths of the island.
As he walked deeper, he saw the Mystic Turtle move slightly.
But Jiang Yifeng, watching from outside the simulator, saw clearly that the Mystic Turtle still had no malice, it just thought he was reckless and wanted him to be more cautious.
Since that was the case, Jiang Yifeng didn't mind.
He thought, the simulation had shown a year had passed.
The Mystic Turtle shouldn't act again.
Soon, an hour passed, and he had reached the depths of the island.
Jiang Yifeng glanced at the sealing formation, feeling the formation symbols were profound and difficult to understand.
He tried to analyze it, and his mind shook, feeling as if his head was about to explode.
In the end, Jiang Yifeng gave up, thinking it was better to leave such matters to the simulation.
So he chanted.
"End deep simulation!"
In an instant, Jiang Yifeng's consciousness returned to the Jiang Family Mansion in Green Hills City.
Without thinking much, he continued to watch the development in the simulator.
[You looked at the sealing formation in the distance, feeling a bit dazed.]
[You wondered how you got there just now?]
[After pondering for a long time, you suddenly had an epiphany, thinking: is reality affecting me?]
