Chapter 58: Immortal Chess Game
"WTF, you didn't expect the Mystic Turtle to be so irritable this time, starting to eat without saying a word."
In a moment of desperation, you shouted, "We're all prisoners here, why make things difficult for each other?"
As soon as you finished speaking, a strange light appeared in the Mystic Turtle's eyes.
You felt the terrifying suction disappear, and you found yourself in the giant turtle's claw.
It stared at you for a long time, then laughed heartily and said, "Interesting, I didn't expect such a Chosen to emerge from this sealed land, and you even know my background."
Your heart skipped a beat, worried that the Mystic Turtle would ask for details.
After all, you didn't actually know its background. Even with previous simulations, you only knew it was also imprisoned and wanted to escape.
But clearly, you were overthinking it; the Mystic Turtle didn't ask about any of that.
It simply asked why you had come to find it.
You relaxed a bit and straightforwardly said you wanted to comprehend the sealing formation here to improve your formation knowledge.The Mystic Turtle thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement, but told you that you could only stay for seven years.
You knew this was because the formation spirit of the sealing formation might awaken in seven years.
The Mystic Turtle had mentioned this in previous simulations.
Naturally, you wouldn't push your luck, and you promised to leave within seven years.
After that, the Mystic Turtle took you to an island in the Endless Sea.
This time, since everything was laid out, you had no other concerns.
Upon reaching the island, you went straight to the area closest to the barrier of the sealing formation.
The Mystic Turtle watched all this, already having several thoughts in mind.
To the Mystic Turtle, anyone who knew its background couldn't be a native of the Southern Regions.
It thought you were a pawn sent by some big shot from the heavens to break this place and cause trouble for the one who sealed it here.
After all, the struggles between those big shots are always like this.
At their level, immortals rarely act personally; they use all beings as chess pieces to determine victory.
The Mystic Turtle itself, a Mystic Immortal from the Immortal Realm, was also a pawn in the hands of some big shot!
Whether it liked it or not, as long as it was locked here, it would naturally become a pawn for those big shots if it wanted freedom.
The Mystic Turtle was now pondering whether you were a pawn of the same big shot or if another player had entered the game.
After all, the one who captured and locked it here wasn't the same Immortal who sealed the Southern Regions.
The Mystic Turtle knew this in its heart; it was locked here to become a pawn to break the seal of the Southern Regions.
In other words, the person who locked it up was opposed to the Immortal who sealed this place.
After all, it wanted freedom, and now it needed to break the sealing formation here.
Because the chains that locked it were connected to the sealing formation by that big shot.
The Mystic Turtle gave you a deep look before diving into the water.
Naturally, you didn't know what the Mystic Turtle was thinking.
At this moment, you had already ventured deep into the island, arriving at the sealing formation.
Jiang Yifeng's heart tightened as he saw this.
It seemed the waters of the Southern Regions were deeper than he had imagined.
From the Mystic Turtle's thoughts, it was clear that this place was a chessboard for many big shots from the heavens.
Even a Mystic Immortal like the Mystic Turtle was forced to be a pawn.
"Whoo!"
Jiang Yifeng took a deep breath.
It seemed he couldn't be afraid of hardship; he needed to improve quickly.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yifeng silently chanted.
"Start deep simulation for seven years!"
This was an idea Jiang Yifeng had long thought of.
For memory-based knowledge like formations, he felt that deep simulation could completely bypass simulation rewards and directly obtain it from the deep simulation.
But the last time Jiang Yifeng merely glanced at the sealing formation, his head felt like it was splitting open.
So he gave up on using deep simulation to gain this power.
But now Jiang Yifeng felt he shouldn't be afraid of hardship.
The waters of this world were too deep; without enough power, he wouldn't feel safe.
"Ding, starting deep simulation for one hour, deducting 613.2 million Energy Value, remaining Energy Value 2.3 billion..."
In an instant, Jiang Yifeng's consciousness entered the simulation.
Without much thought.
Jiang Yifeng devoted himself entirely to the study of formations.
The complex and intricate formation made his head feel like it was about to explode after just a moment of analysis.
He could only grit his teeth and persevere.
Half an hour later, Jiang Yifeng fainted.
He woke up half a day later.
Upon waking, Jiang Yifeng felt that his theoretical knowledge of formations had significantly improved.
This made him feel that his efforts were not in vain.
The hardship had paid off.
In the days that followed, Jiang Yifeng continued to study formations.
In fact, he spent more time fainting each day than studying.
Unknowingly, more than six years passed.
Jiang Yifeng finally deciphered a formation pattern.
At this point, his theoretical knowledge of formations was comparable to an eighth-grade Formation Master.
However, his spiritual energy was still insufficient to set up an eighth-grade formation himself.
With the seven-year deadline agreed upon with the Mystic Turtle approaching, Jiang Yifeng knew it was time to leave the Endless Sea.
So his deep simulation should also end.
Without hesitation, he silently chanted.
"End deep simulation!"
As Jiang Yifeng's words fell.
His consciousness instantly returned to the Jiang Family Mansion in Green Hills City.
Jiang Yifeng quickly recalled the formation knowledge in his mind.
"Hahaha, I knew it would work!"
Confirming that this deep simulation had indeed brought out the theoretical knowledge of an eighth-grade Formation Master, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
After a brief moment of joy, Jiang Yifeng turned his attention to the simulation panel.
"In the tenth year, you have acquired the theoretical knowledge of an eighth-grade Formation Master."
"This year, the time agreed upon with the Mystic Turtle to leave has arrived. The Mystic Turtle appeared on time and sent you to the coastal land."
"In the twelfth year, you returned to Green Hills City in disguise."
"With your return, the legend of the Dudou Immortal, which had been gradually forgotten over the years, resurfaced."
"You looked at the small mountain of dudous in your storage ring and could only shake your head helplessly."
"You really didn't want this; it's all because of that damned talent."
"In the thirteenth year, the shadowy figure Immortal Slave appeared in the Jiang Family."
"This time, before he could make a move, you attacked him from behind without any sense of honor."
"After all, the shadowy figure was only at the ninth level of Core Formation, and you are now also at the ninth level of Core Formation, so you didn't fear him."
"In previous simulations, you didn't make a move because you couldn't win."
"Now you are at the same level, and you know that soon your father will bring cultivators from Spine Mountain, so you can't just watch the Jiang Family be destroyed!"
"Your sneak attack didn't work; the shadowy figure dodged it with body techniques."
"Seeing that you were also at the ninth level of Core Formation, he didn't leave immediately but engaged you in a fierce battle."
"At this moment, you are evenly matched. You practice both immortal and martial arts, and you have a twelfth-grade Golden Core, so you should be able to crush him, even kill him instantly."
"But unfortunately, you haven't practiced any combat techniques; you rely on spiritual energy to fight."
"Meanwhile, the opponent kept using various techniques, so you couldn't take him down immediately, only gaining the upper hand."
