Chapter 156: It was just to keep you from worrying
Jiang Yifeng's killing intent had greatly increased, but in doing so, he had exhausted the Inevitable Enlightenment he had stored for over a hundred years.
At this moment, he had only ten years of deep simulation time left.
After pondering for a moment, he headed towards the Valley of Flames.
He didn't want to waste the deep simulation time.
So, heading to the Valley of Flames to comprehend the Phoenix Flames there seemed like a good choice.
Upon arriving at the Valley of Flames, Jiang Yifeng directly used the Taotie Divine Body to start devouring the Phoenix Flames, attempting to comprehend the power of laws within.
As for the Demonic Phoenix? It could only curl up in the Valley of Flames, not daring to move, not daring to move!
In the blink of an eye, ten years passed.
[Ding, deep simulation ended!]
Jiang Yifeng's consciousness returned to reality.At this moment, he was still reminiscing about the insights he gained in the Valley of Flames.
He felt as though he had grasped something, but it was always just out of reach.
That's right, Jiang Yifeng hadn't directly comprehended the power of laws in the Valley of Flames.
He felt that the laws of the Valley of Flames were harder to comprehend than killing intent, even harder than the Way of Thunder.
It seemed to be a higher-level power of laws.
Now, he was hesitating whether to continue with another deep simulation.
In the end, he shook his head and murmured softly, "Forget it, I'll wait until I've accumulated more Inevitable Enlightenment before doing another deep simulation!"
With the previous insights from comprehending killing intent, he clearly knew how much of a buff Inevitable Enlightenment provided for understanding the power of laws.
Directly trying to comprehend it now wouldn't be as effective as accumulating more talent usage and then having a breakthrough all at once.
After making his decision, Jiang Yifeng continued to look at the simulator.
[You notice yourself amidst the blazing flames in the Valley of Flames.]
[You realize that the deep simulation has ended.]
[You choose to leave the Valley of Flames first!]
[After that, you start checking your storage ring.]
[You want to see if the deep simulation left you any clues.]
[You grumble a bit in your heart, feeling annoyed that the deep simulation doesn't leave you with memories of that time.]
[After a long while, you find a note.]
["30 years have passed, in one more year, the Lady in Red will undergo Tribulation Crossing to become immortal!"]
[You raise an eyebrow, having found the answer you wanted.]
[You think to yourself, "In one more year, I'll know if Little Peach is the Lady in Red."]
[You remember that the Lady in Red underwent Tribulation Crossing to become immortal in the 131st year.]
[If in the 131st year, someone in the Southern Regions undergoes Tribulation Crossing to become immortal, attracting the intervention of powerful beings, then it can be confirmed that Little Peach is not the Lady in Red!]
[After that, you don't leave the Southern Regions immediately.]
[Instead, you head towards Spine Mountain.]
[You want to see if the people of Spine Mountain are doing well.]
[Of course, what you most want to know is whether your father has found your mother and sister!]
[You think that even though you've been gone for so long, the people of Spine Mountain might not have continued searching.]
[But after the Heavenly Thunder, your father must have searched.]
[A few days later, you arrive at Spine Mountain.]
[After inquiring with your father, you get the same answer: no.]
[You feel neither joy nor sorrow upon hearing this answer.]
[After all, this was the answer you expected.]
[If it were that easy to find, they would have found them long ago.]
[You stop thinking about these matters.]
[After that, you stay at Spine Mountain for a few days.]
[During these days, you keep hesitating whether to tell the people here that they can now leave the Southern Regions through the Forest of Ten Thousand Swords.]
[After all, if the Lady in Red is not Little Peach, then staying in the Southern Regions means certain death for these people.]
[But then you think, if you tell them they can leave through the Forest of Ten Thousand Swords, how will you explain it to your father, Jiang Fushan?]
[You know that your father, Jiang Fushan, cannot leave the Southern Regions.]
[If he leaves the Southern Regions, he will disappear.]
[You can't let others leave while leaving your father alone in the Southern Regions!]
[In the end, you silently chant in your heart, "This is a simulation, this is a simulation!"]
[You give up on reminding the people of Spine Mountain that they can leave the Southern Regions through the Forest of Ten Thousand Swords.]
[But will things really go as you planned?]
[No, just two days later, a cultivator from Spine Mountain excitedly returns.]
[He tells Old Li that the killing intent in the Forest of Ten Thousand Swords is completely gone.]
[He excitedly asks Old Li if they can leave the Southern Regions through there.]
[A few days later, Old Li personally investigates the situation in the Forest of Ten Thousand Swords and informs everyone that they can leave the Southern Regions through there.]
[Seeing this situation, you can't help but laugh bitterly.]
[Man proposes, but heaven disposes.]
[The matter you didn't plan to mention was discovered by the cultivators of Spine Mountain.]
[Of course, you also understand that it might not have been unintentional.]
[After all, the places where the sealing formation can be exited are not secrets to the cultivators of Spine Mountain.]
[They have always been unable to leave because they lacked the strength.]
[Perhaps these people check the changes in those exit points every few years!]
[A few days later, everyone from Spine Mountain arrives at the Forest of Ten Thousand Swords.]
[Seeing the Forest of Ten Thousand Swords devoid of any killing intent, they cry tears of joy.]
[Only you, with a complicated expression, look at your father, Jiang Fushan.]
[You don't know how to tell your father that he can't leave the Southern Regions.]
[You know that if your father stays in the Southern Regions, and a year later, if the Lady in Red is not Little Peach, he might also be doomed.]
[But no matter what you say, there is still a chance of survival.]
[There is a gamble, what if the Lady in Red is Little Peach?]
[But if your father tries to leave the Southern Regions, he will disappear immediately.]
[After a long while, your father seems to notice your concern and pats your shoulder.]
[Though he says nothing, you understand that he means: Don't worry, he's here!]
[In the end, you take your father, Jiang Fushan, aside and explain the situation directly.]
[You tell your father that he cannot leave the Southern Regions, and if he does, he will disappear immediately.]
[Worried that your father might not believe you, you even prepare to mention the simulator.]
[But at that moment, you suddenly feel a sense of foreboding!]
["Don't say it!"]
[You feel that if you mention the simulator, something terrifying will happen!]
[In the end, you can't explain how you know this.]
[But fortunately, your father, Jiang Fushan, doesn't ask for the reason.]
[He just falls silent.]
[After a long while, Jiang Fushan smiles at you and says, "It's alright, I just won't leave!"]
[Not long after, the people of Spine Mountain gradually leave the Southern Regions through the Forest of Ten Thousand Swords.]
[Only you and your father remain standing there.]
[After bidding farewell to your father, you also leave through the Forest of Ten Thousand Swords.]
[But just as you pass through the sealing formation and leave the Southern Regions.]
[Your father, Jiang Fushan, slowly walks towards the sealing formation.]
[You have no idea how many things your father thought about after you told him he couldn't leave the Southern Regions!]
[He believes you wouldn't lie, so why can't he leave the Southern Regions?]
[He thinks there might be some secret about himself.]
[Perhaps it has something to do with your mother leaving him.]
[He has already decided in his heart to explore this secret.]
[He feels that you are now capable and no longer need his care.]
[So what is there to fear?]
[As for promising you he wouldn't leave the Southern Regions, it was just to keep you from worrying.]
