Chapter 100: Was beaten by Bai Ruoxue
[Simulation attempt consumed: 1, remaining attempts: 0]
[Extracting Purple Talent costs 100 Origin Values, chance-based extraction of Orange Talent costs 1000 Origin Values. Please choose!]
"Choose chance-based extraction of Orange Talent."
[Ding, 1000 Origin Values deducted, talent is being randomly extracted, remaining Origin Values.]
[Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the Orange Talent: Taotie Divine Body.]
[Taotie Divine Body]: You possess the power of devouring, allowing you to enhance yourself by consuming all things.
(Note: Devouring things beyond your capacity may cause your body to explode!)
[You have obtained a one-time ability: Face-to-Face.]
[Face-to-Face]: By silently reciting someone's name in your heart, you will appear before them; can only be used once. (Note: Only works for people you've met in the same time-space continuum.)
"Awesome!"Jiang Yifeng was overjoyed as he looked at the talent and one-time ability he had drawn this time.
These effects were incredibly powerful.
The function of the Taotie Divine Body was self-explanatory: eat to become stronger.
Although the description didn't specify whether it enhanced Martial Dao or Immortal Dao, Jiang Yifeng believed it was more likely to enhance Martial Dao.
After all, he had previously obtained similar talents, like the Big Eater talent, which also enhanced Martial Dao.
However, that talent had too low a ceiling, so he hadn't chosen to redeem it at the time.
Jiang Yifeng felt that the Taotie Divine Body should be an advanced version of the Big Eater talent.
But to be sure, he would need to test it in the simulation.
The one-time ability "Face-to-Face" also came at the perfect time.
He was currently troubled about how to escape the Southern Regions in this simulation.
After all, the path to joining the Immortal Arrival Sect had become difficult.
Given his current strength, he could easily be exposed. Even if Qiu Kuang introduced him to the Immortal Arrival Sect for Qiu Zhixuan's sake, there could still be complications with Shen Wuyou.
And if he had to participate in the elder assessment again and encountered Shen Wutian, he wouldn't have a Death Substitute Doll this time and wouldn't be able to escape!
Now, this one-time ability had opened up many possibilities for him.
He thought he could use this ability to escape the Southern Regions.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yifeng couldn't wait to see the developments in the simulation.
However, the simulator's prompts hadn't finished yet, and more text quickly appeared.
[Prompt: Do you want to carry talents from the Talent Pool?]
[Talent Pool: Thunder-Fire True Spiritual Root, Absolute Rationality.]
"Don't take them, don't take them!"
Jiang Yifeng immediately refused. After the last simulation ended, he hadn't put the Child of Fortune talent back into the Talent Pool.
Now, the two talents in the Talent Pool were either useless or too cold and emotionless; he didn't want to take either.
After making his choice, Jiang Yifeng quickly looked at the developments in the simulator.
[Simulation attempt 25 begins!]
[You realize you have entered the simulation.]
[Day 1: You visit every restaurant in Green Hills City, eating voraciously to test the effects of the Taotie Divine Body.]
[Unfortunately, your cultivation is already very high, and mundane food cannot provide you with any enhancement.]
[Day 2: You leave Green Hills City and head to the Evergreen Mountain Range.]
[Since your Taotie Divine Body cannot enhance your strength by consuming mundane items, you decide to go to the ruins of the Heavenly Profound Temple to wait for Bai Ruoxue.]
[After all, the one-time ability Face-to-Face requires you to have met the person in the same time-space continuum.]
[If you want to use this one-time ability to leave the Southern Regions, Bai Ruoxue is definitely one of your targets.]
[After arriving at the Evergreen Mountain Range, you clear the ruins of the Heavenly Profound Temple and begin cultivating Immortal Dao.]
[You need to wait for Bai Ruoxue to appear. Using the Taotie Divine Body to devour extraordinary items is not realistic.]
[In the Southern Regions, extraordinary items do exist, but devouring each one carries a certain risk.]
[You think it's better to prepare an escape route before starting your plan.]
[Year 1: While cultivating Immortal Dao, you trigger the talent Random Enlightenment, gaining a tenfold cultivation speed buff. Your thoughts become more active.]
[This enlightenment lasts for a full 16 months, allowing your Immortal Dao cultivation to break through to the ninth layer of the Mahayana Realm.]
[Based on the tenfold cultivation effect, 16 months of enlightenment is equivalent to several years.]
[Normally, this amount of time wouldn't be enough for you to break through to the ninth layer of the Mahayana Realm.]
[But you used the devouring power of the Taotie Divine Body.]
[Indeed, the Taotie Divine Body doesn't just enhance Martial Dao.]
[It can also devour Spirit Stones to accelerate Immortal Dao cultivation.]
[This is the conclusion you reached after experimentation.]
[You directly swallowed Spirit Stones and then used the Devouring Spirit Art to absorb and refine them, increasing your cultivation speed several times over.]
[At this point, more than two years have passed in the simulation.]
[Six months later, while cultivating, you sense someone approaching rapidly.]
[After roughly calculating the time, you believe it must be Bai Ruoxue.]
[In an instant, you see a white-robed woman appear above the ruins of the Heavenly Profound Temple.]
[After Bai Ruoxue descends, she keeps a close eye on you, seeing through your cultivation level and knowing you are only at the ninth layer of the Mahayana Realm.]
[However, she feels a slight sense of threat from you.]
[This makes her wary and unable to ignore you.]
[You both stare at each other, falling into a standoff.]
[Having watched multiple simulations, you habitually think Bai Ruoxue will check if you are an Immortal Slave upon seeing you.]
[Then, the plot would proceed from there.]
[This situation was unexpected.]
[But you quickly adapt.]
[You decide to speak first, explaining that you are not an Immortal Slave, hoping to get closer to Bai Ruoxue.]
[However, as soon as you make a move, Bai Ruoxue attacks you.]
[You are shocked and instinctively defend yourself.]
[Even though your Immortal Dao has broken through and your combat power has increased, you are still suppressed by Bai Ruoxue, who is at the eighth layer of Tribulation Crossing.]
[You try to escape but can't, so you focus on avoiding critical hits.]
[After a long time, you are bound and thrown to the ground. Bai Ruoxue looks down at you, asking who you are.]
[You smile bitterly. If you had known Bai Ruoxue wouldn't kill you immediately and would just restrain you, you would have surrendered without resistance and avoided a beating.]
[Of course, you didn't dare to gamble. Each simulation is different, and when Bai Ruoxue suddenly attacked, you really thought she would kill you.]
[That's why you resisted.]
[Facing Bai Ruoxue's questioning, you give the prepared explanation.]
[You say you are a rogue cultivator who obtained an Immortal Dao inheritance and are just resting here temporarily.]
[You describe your encounter with Bai Ruoxue as a coincidence.]
[Bai Ruoxue stares at you for a long time, then asks if you know about the past events in the Southern Regions.]
[You know she sees your potential and wants to tell you about the Southern Regions' past to use you to avenge her senior brother.]
[But you already know more about those past events than she does.]
[So, you nod and say that the Immortal Dao inheritance you received contains records of those events.]
[After thinking for a moment, you ask Bai Ruoxue a question that has puzzled you for a long time.]
