[When you wake up again, you find yourself in an ancient palace.]
[Not far from you, your father, Jiang Fushan, is sitting cross-legged.]
[There is a ball of light above his head, and more than half of it has already been integrated into your father's body.]
[Seeing this, you subconsciously think it is a possession of the body and try to step forward to stop it.]
[Unfortunately, as you take a few steps closer, a light curtain blocks your way.]
[Three days pass in the blink of an eye, and your father, Jiang Fushan, finally wakes up slowly.]
[Just as you are about to ask about the situation, a black figure suddenly appears.]
[You hear the man in black shout: "How can you inherit the immortal way?"]
[Then you see him push your father with a palm.]
[At this moment, you see the light curtain that had previously blocked you flicker a few times. Your father looks at you anxiously, as if he wants to say something.]
[Before your father can speak, he vanishes in an instant and is teleported away!]
[Then you hear the man in black yell: "You can't escape! I will find you!"]
[The black-clad man, seeing your father's teleportation, slaps you without hesitation.]
[You could have escaped using the teleportation jade plate left by the woman in white, but you don't.]
[The teleportation jade plate can only be used three times, and you worry that using it in the simulation will reduce the number of uses once you bring it out.]
[And in this simulation, you've already gotten the answer you wanted.]
[So, you watch as the black-clothed man's palm shadow strikes you.]
[The "Human Bomb" talent activates, and the terrifying explosive force turns the black-clothed man's skin permanently black.]
[You die at the age of 32.]
[The simulation ends.]
[You can choose two rewards from this simulation: Human Bomb (talent), Tianxuan Gong (Xiandao Heart Method), Storage Ring (one), Spirit Stone (1000 pieces), Teleportation Jade Plate (remaining).]
[Human Bomb (talent)]: Price: 10 energy points.
[Tianxuan Gong (Xiandao Heart Method)]: Price: 1000 energy points.
[Storage Ring (one)]: Price: 50 energy points.
[Spirit Stone (1000 pieces)]: Price: 1000 energy points.
[Teleportation Jade Plate (Incomplete)]: Price: 2000 energy points; the incomplete teleportation array plate can be used three times.
In this simulation, Jiang Yifeng's purpose was to investigate, and he basically did not practice.
He gathered a lot of information as he wished.
Now, Jiang Yifeng feels that he may have been wrong before.
In this simulation, he witnessed his father receiving the Xiandao inheritance twelve years later.
From the situation, it doesn't seem like this inheritance is weak. He died in the first simulation, but did his father really die?
The text he saw in the simulator back then mentioned that the Jiang family mansion was destroyed by a palm, and he was killed by a brick.
Thinking back, it seems that doesn't necessarily mean everyone in the Jiang family is dead.
In subsequent simulations, he was only killed by the black-clothed man's palm once.
At that time, the black-clothed man had mentioned that he was a remnant of the Jiang family. Was he really searching for him on purpose?
Jiang Yifeng had been an ordinary person who had just started martial arts. Was it worth being hunted by immortal cultivators?
If his father had inherited the immortal cultivation and ran away, then the man in black, with his palm attack, might have been investigating and searching for him.
In the process, Jiang Yifeng learned that he was Jiang Fushan's son, and his misfortune led him to encounter the black-clothed man, resulting in his death.
Now, reflecting on it, this seems more reasonable.
As for why his father didn't let him escape the first time, he probably thought that he could hide or that he might be taken away by the black-clothed man.
However, his father underestimated the strength of the black-clothed man and overestimated his own luck, which is why Jiang Yifeng was instantly killed by a brick.
In the next simulation, Jiang Yifeng practiced martial arts, and his father thought that if he left earlier, he would have a higher chance of avoiding the black-clothed man and surviving.
Now, the only question is how the black-clothed man found the Jiang family after a year. His father must be well-known in the Great You Kingdom.
Or perhaps the black-clothed man hadn't seen his father's face clearly at the time, or there might be a way to conceal the inheritance his father received.
Jiang Yifeng felt he now understood the truth of the situation, and his inference seemed sound.
At this point, he thought that if he stopped his father from going to discuss business in the eleventh year, his father would never get the inheritance and everything could be avoided.
Jiang Yifeng decided to try this in the next simulation.
As for reality, there was no need to worry. He had the simulator, and after ten years, if he was still afraid of the black-clothed man, it would be a waste.
After reasoning through it, Jiang Yifeng looked at the rewards from this simulation.
There was no reward for the Breath-Suppressing Talisman this time.
He wasn't sure if the same item could only appear once, or if the simulator just thought one copy was enough.
But it didn't matter; Jiang Yifeng didn't plan to exchange it this time anyway.
Before the simulation started, Jiang Yifeng planned to bring the storage ring and spirit stones with him.
In fact, he mainly wanted the spirit stones. The more spirit stones he had in reality, the better his cultivation talent would be in the future. Once he had good cultivation talent, he wouldn't lack cultivation resources in the simulations.
Jiang Yifeng felt that it would be risky to take only the spirit stones.
Spirit stones have a unique aura that can be easily sensed by immortal cultivators.
So, Jiang Yifeng thought he needed the storage ring to block the aura before he could safely carry them.
Unfortunately, things didn't go according to plan.
This time, there was another life-saving item: the teleportation jade plate (incomplete).
This was definitely something to take. Not only could it save his life in reality, but it could also be useful in simulations where survival and practice were key.
Jiang Yifeng quickly made his choice.
"I choose the storage ring and the teleportation jade plate (remaining)."
You can only choose two rewards each time.
Jiang Yifeng estimated that the simulator might be upgraded soon, and then he'd have to choose cultivation talents as rewards.
The cultivation realm had to be taken as well, so it would be difficult to carry both the storage ring and spirit stones.
So, he decided to take the storage ring first.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining a storage ring (one). Deducting 50 energy points. Remaining energy points: 7.9 billion...]
[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the teleportation jade plate (remaining). Deducting 2000 energy points. Remaining energy points: 7.8 billion...]
An ancient ring and an octagonal jade plate appeared in Jiang Yifeng's hands.
First, Jiang Yifeng placed the teleportation jade plate close to his body.
He didn't plan to put it in the storage ring, fearing he wouldn't have time to take it out and use it in a real crisis.
After that, Jiang Yifeng played around with the storage ring.
He put everything in the room into the storage ring and then took it all out again, having a lot of fun.
Clearly, it was his first time handling storage props in reality, and he was a bit too excited.
After half an hour, Jiang Yifeng stopped what he was doing.
