[During the exploration, Bai Ruoxue finally discovered your Body of Misfortune.]
[She is now extremely scared. The Body of Misfortune is a legendary physique.]
[According to records, as long as a Body of Misfortune appears, it will inevitably lead to the death of all living beings.]
[This physique affects everyone and everything except for the Body of Misfortune itself. Anyone or anything that gets close to this physique is doomed to meet an ill fate.]
[She is now considering whether to kill you.]
[But soon, she shakes her head. She doesn't dare provoke you. According to records, those who attempted to kill the Body of Misfortune met miserable ends.]
[Bai Ruoxue disappears instantly, choosing to leave.]
[You are confused, not understanding what just happened.]
[In the past, she stayed for three days each time. Why did she run away in less than an hour this time?]
[Of course, what concerns you more is why she didn't give you even a single spiritual stone this time.]
[Finally, you mutter: "How stingy."]
[Since Bai Ruoxue has left, you decide to leave as well.]
[A day passes in the blink of an eye. You collect a lot of food and prepare to leave.]
[But at this moment, a figure in white suddenly appears.]
[You feel delighted. Bai Ruoxue has returned.]
[You wonder in your mind: "Did she forget to send resources and come back to make up for it?"]
[Before you can say anything, you see Bai Ruoxue flick her sleeve, tie you up, and disappear with you in an instant.]
[You feel as though you are moving at an incredible speed. Your ears ring, and your eyes become difficult to open.]
[You sense the wind rushing by and, unexpectedly, trigger a chance epiphany. Your cultivation speed increases fivefold, and your thoughts become more active.]
[At this moment, you let go of all distractions and focus on the feeling of the strong wind brushing past you during the rapid flight.]
[Soon, your movement technique, Chasing Wind Art, breaks through continuously, advancing from entry-level to the realm of minor accomplishment.]
[Bai Ruoxue notices your changes. She looks at you with a complicated expression, sighing inwardly: "Such talent. If only this wasn't the Body of Misfortune…"]
[After half a day, the sensation of rapid travel ceases, and your state of enlightenment ends instantly.]
[You sigh inwardly.]
[This epiphany was obviously more effective than in your previous simulations.]
[You also realize that the environment plays an important role in cultivation.]
[If this experience had lasted longer, you might have made even greater progress.]
[However, such opportunities are too rare, requiring both incredible speed and the chance occurrence of enlightenment.]
[You set aside thoughts of enlightenment and slowly open your eyes, curious to see what Bai Ruoxue is planning and where she has taken you.]
[But as you open your eyes, Bai Ruoxue is nowhere to be seen.]
[Looking around, you spot a storage ring.]
[You realize Bai Ruoxue must have left this time for good.]
[Excitedly, you open the storage ring, but your excitement quickly fades.]
[There isn't a single spiritual stone inside, only some food.]
[Confused, you fail to understand Bai Ruoxue's intentions.]
[Two hours later, you look up at the sky and finally understand what she has done.]
[You realize you are trapped. No matter how far you walk, you always return to the same place after two hours.]
[This is a formation designed to confine you.]
[You bitterly smile, realizing Bai Ruoxue left so much food to ensure you wouldn't starve to death.]
[You curse Bai Ruoxue's entire family in your heart.]
[For the next half-month, you search for a way out, but make no progress.]
[Finally, you give up and decide to make the best of the situation, focusing on cultivation instead.]
[After all, cultivation can be done anywhere. You aren't picky, though the lack of spiritual stones slows your progress.]
[By the fourth year, you stabilize your mentality and fully devote yourself to cultivation.]
[In the fifth year, your movement technique improves slightly.]
[In the sixth year, you hear a cracking sound. The formation trapping you breaks unexpectedly.]
[Delighted, you shout: "The Body of Misfortune is awesome!"]
[But as you prepare to leave, another unexpected event occurs.]
[You discover another formation outside the first one.]
[Once again, you curse Bai Ruoxue in your heart.]
[By now, you've guessed her intentions. She likely discovered your physique and chose to isolate you from the world to prevent you from harming others.]
[You acknowledge that her actions were well-intentioned, but you still feel it's unfair and deeply frustrating.]
[In the seventh year, you regain control of your frustration and continue cultivating with a calm heart.]
[By the ninth year, during a cultivation session, you hear what sounds like the cry of a phoenix. Assuming it's an auditory hallucination, you don't pay much attention to it.]
[In the tenth year, the second formation shatters. However, you suspect there are even more formations beyond this one.]
[Resolving not to waste energy, you remain where you are and focus on cultivation.]
[Years pass in the blink of an eye.]
[In the 20th year, you hear the phoenix cry again. This time, it sounds pained, and you grow curious.]
[You wonder where Bai Ruoxue has taken you and why you can hear a phoenix.]
[By the 23rd year, while polishing your golden core, you trigger another chance epiphany. Your cultivation efficiency increases sevenfold.]
[This enlightenment lasts for half a year, greatly accelerating your progress.]
[In the 26th year, you hear the phoenix's anguished cry once more.]
[By the 30th year, the phoenix's cries grow more frequent and increasingly sorrowful.]
[Sometimes, you hear it several times a year.]
[In the 43rd year, you suddenly notice numerous immortal cultivators in the sky.]
[Confused, you recall that this is the year when local immortal cultivators are supposed to gather in the Death Desert to fight the demon dragon and attempt to escape the Forbidden Southern Region.]
["Is this the Death Desert?" you wonder.]
[But something feels off. Even though you haven't been to the Death Desert in this simulation, you know it should look like a desert.]
[Even if the environment was altered by the formation, now that it's gone, the surroundings should reflect reality.]
[Just as you ponder this, a long phoenix cry pierces the air.]
[You see a massive, bare "grass chicken" appear in the sky.]
