[Not long after, you also prepared to leave and return to Green Hills City.]
[You felt that with your current talent of being a Big Eater, you could improve faster in Green Hills City!]
[It only took three days to return to Green Hills City from the ruins of the Heavenly Profound Temple.]
[This time, you left a letter in advance. Although your father, Jiang Fushan, was worried, he didn't go as far as posting a bounty like before.]
[However, after you returned, he still had a heartfelt conversation with you, urging you to always take guards with you when you go out.]
[In the fourth year, you rarely went out and spent most of your days just digging in.]
[In the fifth year, you continued to dig in every day!]
[In the sixth year, with your routine of eating eight meals a day, each consisting of ten bowls, your Martial Dao cultivation successfully broke through to the ninth level of Body Tempering.]
[In the blink of an eye, several years passed.]
[In the ninth year, you found that no matter how much you ate, your Martial Dao cultivation couldn't advance any further.]
[You felt a bit disappointed. You had originally hoped to quickly improve your Martial Dao cultivation with your Big Eater talent, but you didn't expect to hit a bottleneck so soon.]
[However, you quickly came to terms with it. After all, Big Eater was just a blue talent; its upper limit might not be that high.]
[So, you tried practicing the Unnamed Manual once, and saw some slight improvement.]
[This made you sigh in admiration; the Unnamed Manual was indeed impressive.]
[You thought the only drawback of the Unnamed Manual was its slow progress!]
[Of course, you only thought this in your heart. You knew it was slow because you couldn't find the pills to complement your cultivation.]
[In the eleventh year, your father received an invitation to go to the Liang Kingdom for business talks.]
[Upon hearing this, you remembered that in the twelfth year, when your father returned, he would obtain an Immortal Fate, attracting the shadowy figures.]
[So, you decided to stop your father from going to the Great Abyssal Kingdom, hoping to change the course of events.]
[But your efforts were in vain. This business deal was too significant, and although your father, Jiang Fushan, doted on you, he didn't agree with your suggestion.]
[He only gave you a large amount of silver notes to appease you.]
[Unwilling to give up, you resorted to drastic measures, stabbing yourself in the chest and severely injuring yourself.]
[Your father, Jiang Fushan, was thus forced to abandon the business trip to the Great Abyssal Kingdom.]
[In the days that followed, your father stayed by your side, taking care of you as you recovered.]
[In the blink of an eye, a year passed, and your injuries healed. Your father had hardly gone out during this year, being tightly bound to the Jiang Family Mansion by you.]
[In the twelfth year, you suddenly sensed the ground shaking, and a massive crack appeared in the middle of Green Hills City.]
[Everyone in the city fell into the crack.]
[As you fell, your eyes widened in disbelief.]
[This event was completely unexpected. You couldn't understand why what had happened at Yuyang Mountain on the border of the Great Abyssal Kingdom and Liang Kingdom was now happening in Green Hills City.]
[With a thud, you hit the ground and lost consciousness.]
[You didn't know how much time had passed, but when you woke up, you saw your father sitting cross-legged.]
[A ball of light was merging into his body from above his head.]
[You tried to approach him, but a light barrier blocked your way.]
[Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and a shadowy figure suddenly appeared, shouting, "How dare you seek the Immortal Dao inheritance!"]
[Then he struck a palm towards your father.]
[You saw the light barrier flicker a few times. Your father looked at you anxiously, as if he wanted to say something.]
[Before he could speak, your father, Jiang Fushan, was teleported away!]
[The shadowy figure shouted, "You can't escape; I will find you!"]
[Then he glanced at you and struck a palm towards you.]
[This time, you didn't plan to surrender. You quickly activated the Teleportation Jade Plate and vanished instantly.]
[In the blink of an eye, you appeared in a city a thousand miles away.]
[Your sudden appearance startled the townsfolk.]
[For a moment, the vendors and passersby all looked at you, and some even knelt down, calling you a deity.]
[But you didn't notice any of this; you only felt dizzy and unsteady.]
[You guessed this was a side effect of the rapid teleportation.]
[Suddenly, you stumbled, and a nearby vendor in black cloth quickly came over to support you.]
[Just as you were about to thank him, you saw the vendor smile mysteriously.]
[You immediately felt something pierce through your heart.]
[Your consciousness began to fade, and you vaguely heard the vendor say, "What luck! I didn't expect to find a local cultivator and score a kill."]
[You died at the age of 32.]
[This simulation has ended.]
[You can choose two rewards from this simulation: Big Eater (Talent), Heavenly Profound Art (Immortal Dao Mental Cultivation Method), Martial Dao Cultivation (Body Tempering Perfection), Spirit Stones (2000 pieces)]
[Big Eater (Talent): Price 100,000 Energy Value.]
[Heavenly Profound Art (Immortal Dao Mental Cultivation Method): Price 10,000,000 Energy Value.]
[Martial Dao Cultivation (Body Tempering Perfection): Price 100,000 Energy Value.]
[Spirit Stones (2000 pieces): Price 2,000,000 Energy Value.]
Jiang Yifeng stared at the text on the simulator, feeling a bit lost.
He had thought that by stopping his father from going to the Great Abyssal Kingdom in the simulation, they wouldn't obtain the Immortal Dao inheritance, thus avoiding the Jiang Family's crisis.
He never expected that the Immortal Dao inheritance could change locations.
Jiang Yifeng couldn't understand the principle behind it.
But he had a general idea that the Immortal Dao inheritance was targeting his father.
There was no way to avoid it; as long as the time came, the inheritance would find his father, Jiang Fushan, no matter where he was.
"It seems my father has deeper secrets!"
Jiang Yifeng muttered to himself.
He didn't plan to delve into it now, but it made him feel a bit troubled.
He had originally wanted to change his father's movements to avoid the shadowy figure and extend the simulation time to improve his cultivation.
Now it seemed that path was not feasible.
Besides, there was another point in this simulation that made Jiang Yifeng feel a bit scared.
That was the black-clothed vendor who attacked him at the end.
According to the simulation, ordinary people were shocked and even worshipped him as a deity when they saw him appear out of thin air through teleportation.
But the black-clothed vendor attacked him, so he couldn't be an ordinary person.
Especially the last sentence, "scored a kill."
The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became. Jiang Yifeng realized that those who obstructed others from cultivating or even investigated cultivation matters might not be just one or two people but a large organization.
This organization might have already infiltrated the grassroots, hiding among the masses.
Jiang Yifeng thought that there might be such people hiding in Green Hills City as well.
Thinking back to the second simulation, he had been killed after searching for cultivators for several years. He was indeed lucky!
Of course, it could also be that this organization didn't kill those who sought immortality but those who were close to becoming cultivators.
For example, in that simulation, he was killed only when he approached the Heavenly Profound Temple.
And there was indeed a white-robed woman, a cultivator, who had appeared there.
Perhaps the organization had learned about the Heavenly Profound Temple's location shortly after the white-robed woman appeared.
Thinking this way, Jiang Yifeng felt fortunate that in previous simulations, he had left after the white-robed woman departed. Otherwise, he might have died even earlier in those simulations!
