Simulating Endless Possibilities: Invincible Once I Act

Chapter 43: Phoenix’s cry

Bai Ruoxue discovered your Calamity Physique during her investigation.

She was terrified, as the Calamity Physique was a legendary constitution.

According to records, wherever a Calamity Physique appeared, disaster would follow.

The only one unaffected by this constitution was the person who possessed it; anyone or anything else that came near would meet a tragic end.

She was contemplating whether to kill you.

But she quickly shook her head, knowing she couldn't afford to provoke you. According to the records, those who killed a Calamity Physique met terrible fates.

In an instant, Bai Ruoxue disappeared, choosing to leave.

You were puzzled, not understanding what had happened.

Usually, she would stay for three days, but this time she left in less than an hour.

Of course, you were more concerned about why she didn't leave you any Spirit Stones this time.

You muttered under your breath, "So stingy."

Since Bai Ruoxue had already left, you also planned to leave.

A day passed, and you gathered a lot of food, preparing to depart.

But just then, a figure in white suddenly appeared.

You were delighted, thinking Bai Ruoxue had returned.

You wondered if she had forgotten to give you resources and came back to make up for it.

Before you could speak, Bai Ruoxue flicked her sleeve, binding you and then disappearing with you in an instant.

You felt a rapid movement, your ears ringing, and your eyes unable to open.

You seemed to sense the wind, triggering a Random Enlightenment, increasing your cultivation speed fivefold and making your thoughts more active.

At this moment, you emptied your mind, fully immersing yourself in the sensation of the wind rushing past during the high-speed flight.

Quickly, your Wind Chasing Art broke through continuously, advancing from the novice stage to the minor accomplishment stage.

Bai Ruoxue noticed your changes.

She looked at you with a complex expression, sighing inwardly: "He's enlightened. If only he didn't have the Calamity Physique, what a talent he would be."

Half a day later, the sensation of rapid movement disappeared, and your state of enlightenment ended.

You sighed inwardly, feeling it was a pity.

This enlightenment was clearly more effective than previous simulations.

You realized that the environment was also an important factor in cultivation.

If it had lasted longer, you might have made more progress.

But such opportunities were rare, requiring both high-speed flight and the triggering of Random Enlightenment.

You stopped thinking about enlightenment and slowly opened your eyes, wanting to see what Bai Ruoxue was up to.

Where had she taken you?

But when you opened your eyes, Bai Ruoxue was nowhere to be seen.

You looked around and found a storage ring.

You understood that Bai Ruoxue had truly left this time.

Excited, you opened the storage ring, but your joy quickly faded.

You found no Spirit Stones inside, only some food.

You were puzzled, not understanding Bai Ruoxue's intentions.

Two hours later, you looked up at the sky and understood Bai Ruoxue's purpose.

You realized you were trapped; no matter how you walked, you always returned to the same spot after two hours.

You knew it must be a Formation trapping you.

You smiled bitterly, thinking Bai Ruoxue left you so much food to prevent you from starving.

Locking you up and giving you ample food, what was she planning?

You cursed Bai Ruoxue and her entire family in your heart.

For the next half month, you searched for a way out but made no progress.

Eventually, you gave up, deciding to settle down and cultivate here.

After all, cultivation was the same anywhere; you just lacked Spirit Stones, so your progress would be slower.

By the fourth year, you had completely stabilized your mindset, fully dedicating yourself to cultivation.

In the fifth year, you made some progress in your body techniques.

In the sixth year, you heard a cracking sound, and the Formation trapping you inexplicably shattered.

You were overjoyed, shouting, "Calamity Physique is awesome!"

But as you prepared to leave, another unexpected event occurred.

You found another Formation outside the first one.

You cursed Bai Ruoxue again in your heart.

By now, you had some guesses. You figured Bai Ruoxue must have seen through your constitution.

So she trapped you here, isolating you from the world to prevent you from harming others.

You could only say she was a good person, but you felt it was unfair to you.

In the seventh year, you calmed your restless mind and focused on cultivation.

In the ninth year, while cultivating, you seemed to hear a phoenix's cry, thinking it was an illusion and not paying much attention.

In the tenth year, the second Formation trapping you began to crack.

But by then, you had figured it out. You thought that if Bai Ruoxue wanted to trap you, she must know the power of the Calamity Physique.

So, you assumed there were many more Formations waiting for you outside this one.

You remained unmoved, continuing to cultivate diligently.

Years passed in the blink of an eye.

In the twentieth year, you heard the phoenix's cry again, this time confirming it wasn't an illusion. The sound seemed pained.

You were curious about where Bai Ruoxue had taken you and why you could hear a phoenix's cry.

In the twenty-third year, while refining your Golden Core, you triggered a Random Enlightenment, increasing your cultivation efficiency sevenfold.

This enlightenment lasted for half a year, significantly improving your Golden Core refinement efficiency.

In the twenty-sixth year, you heard the sorrowful cry of the phoenix again.

In the thirtieth year, you heard the phoenix's cry once more, sounding even more tragic.

In the following years, you heard the phoenix's cry more frequently.

Sometimes, you heard it several times in a single year.

By the forty-third year, you suddenly saw many cultivators in the sky.

You were puzzled, remembering that this year, the local cultivators should be heading to the Desert of Death to fight the Demonic Dragon, trying to break out of the sealed Southern Regions.

Could this be the Desert of Death?

But it didn't seem right. Even if you hadn't been to the Desert of Death in previous simulations, a desert should look like a desert!

Even if the environment had been altered by the Formation, now that you could see cultivators, the Formation should have completely disappeared.

So, what you saw must be real.

But you saw no signs of a desert.

As you pondered, a phoenix's cry echoed, "Yin!"

You saw a huge, bald "chicken" appear in the sky.
