Simulating Endless Possibilities: Invincible Once I Act

Chapter 44: Escape from the Sealed Land of the Southern Regions

At this moment, you see a figure in a green robe appear, engaging in battle with that strange bird.

You are even more bewildered— isn't that green-robed figure your father, Jiang Fushan?

What's going on? How did everything suddenly change? In the forty-third year, wasn't Father supposed to be fighting the Demonic Dragon? How did it turn into a battle with a phoenix that looks like a "grass chicken"?

You start to suspect that you might have entered an illusion.

Soon, an old man appears before you. Using your Eye of Insight, you discover that he is Old Li, the one who answered many of your questions in the last simulation.

He sees through your identity as a cultivator.

He tells you to quickly escape with everyone else.

You inquire about the current situation.

He explains that ahead is the Valley of Flames, but for some unknown reason, the flames here began to gradually extinguish decades ago.

Upon receiving this news, they realized that something must have happened to the fierce beast guarding this place.

This time, due to certain reasons, they had to flee the Southern Regions and chose this place as their breakthrough point.

After hearing Old Li's explanation, you can't help but twitch your lips.

You feel incredibly lucky to have been cultivating in front of the Valley of Flames for decades.

As for the extinguished flames, you suspect it has something to do with your Calamity Physique.

After all, over the years, you were probably the only one trapped in this wretched place.

At this moment, you feel a sense of realization—perhaps Bai Ruoxue did this on purpose!

Maybe she intended to use your Calamity Physique to deal with this fierce beast.

As for the reason, you have no idea.

It could be a personal grudge, or simply to vent her anger.

After all, you know Bai Ruoxue harbors resentment towards the Immortal Arrival Sect and even the immortals in the heavens, so she must also despise these guardian beasts.

She doesn't dare to take action directly, so using your Calamity Physique to disgust these beasts seems plausible.

Knowing the general situation, you don't flee with Old Li but let him go first.

You are aware of the terrifying extent of your Calamity Physique.

You think that if you escape with them, even if the beast is in trouble, they probably won't be able to escape either.

Old Li just gives you a glance and then leaves with the other lower-level cultivators.

After all, you were mere acquaintances; the fact that he warned you and answered your questions was already very kind.

Naturally, he wouldn't force you to escape with him.

Moreover, he needs to take more lower-level cultivators on the road, and without you, he can take another cultivator.

You glance at the battle in the sky; that phoenix, which looks like a "grass chicken," is being beaten down by your father, Jiang Fushan.

The other cultivators are flying towards the depths of the Valley of Flames without encountering any obstacles.

It seems that the Valley of Flames doesn't have demonic beasts like the Demonic Pythons in the Desert of Death.

This leaves you puzzled as to why, in the previous simulation, your father Jiang Fushan and the other cultivators chose the Desert of Death as their breakthrough point.

The Valley of Flames clearly seems easier!

What you don't know is that this is all due to your Calamity Physique.

In terms of combat power, the Demonic Dragon and the "grass chicken" phoenix are actually quite similar.

The phoenix you see now is weakened because of your Calamity Physique, causing its feathers to inexplicably fall off.

Because of this, it is far from its peak condition.

As for the lack of other demonic beasts in the Valley of Flames, it's because they aren't needed—the Phoenix Flame itself is the strongest barrier, and ordinary cultivators can't traverse the flames.

However, the original barrier was extinguished because of your Calamity Physique.

Unaware of these details, you subconsciously think this is an easier breakthrough point and fall into confusion.

You don't think too much about it; this is a rare opportunity, and you decide to see if you can escape the Southern Regions.

If you can truly get out, the simulation time will surely be extended significantly.

You head towards the depths of the Valley of Flames, encountering no danger along the way.

Half a day later, you hear the long cry of the phoenix, and that "grass chicken" phoenix falls.

Shortly after, you feel someone grab you.

Turning your head, you see it's your father, Jiang Fushan.

He is heavily injured.

Using your Eye of Insight, you can see that your father Jiang Fushan's cultivation level has even dropped to the Seventh Layer of Tribulation.

Earlier, when he was fighting the fierce beast, you checked and saw he was at the peak of the Eighth Layer of Tribulation.

After grabbing you, your father Jiang Fushan doesn't ask how you appeared here; he just holds your hand and flies rapidly.

Knowing time is tight, you don't say much either.

A day later, you see a barrier with a deep crack on it.

You know this must be the formation that encloses the Southern Regions, and that crack should be the gateway created millions of years ago by Mo Jingtian and Lu Wuya.

You feel a bit excited, finally about to leave this sealed land!

"Boom, boom," the sound of Heavenly Thunder suddenly rings out.

Your father Jiang Fushan smiles at you and throws you towards the crack.

Then you see him ascend, heading towards the Heavenly Thunder.

Tears stream down your face; you understand he is intercepting the Heavenly Thunder to protect you.

When you land, you find yourself in a strange environment.

You know this is already outside the Southern Regions.

You wait there for half a day, but when your father Jiang Fushan doesn't come out, you know the situation is grim.

So you leave quickly, not staying there any longer.

This is just outside the formation; you're not sure if it's completely safe.

In the forty-fifth year, it's been nearly two years since you escaped the Southern Regions.

During this time, you've been on the road.

You want to see what the outside world is like, but for two whole years, you haven't seen any signs of human habitation.

In the forty-eighth year, you finally come across a small village.

You enter the village and ask around, wanting to know where you are.

Unfortunately, this is just an ordinary village; the villagers are not very knowledgeable, and most have never left the village.

Only a well-traveled old village chief tells you that this place is called the Great Wilderness.

As for what the Great Wilderness is and where it is in the Nine Mystic Realm, the old village chief doesn't know.

He only says that the name "Great Wilderness" was passed down from the previous village chief.

After staying in the village for a day, you bid farewell and leave.

After a long journey, you originally wanted to stay in the village for a couple more days.

But your Calamity Physique is truly terrifying; in just one day, many poultry in the village died, and a few villagers were inexplicably injured.

You couldn't bear to see such a simple village suffer because of your talent.
