Chapter 61: New Talent, Child of Fortune
[Your eyes welled up as you glanced at your father, Jiang Fushan, before following Old Li into the depths of the Desert of Death, speeding away.]
[Along the way, Demonic Pythons appeared frequently.]
[But facing Old Li, a formidable expert at the Seventh Layer of Tribulation Crossing, these Demonic Pythons were no match at all.]
[Two days passed in the blink of an eye.]
[With Old Li's cultivation, flying at full speed with you, it was possible to have covered hundreds of thousands of kilometers.]
[Yet, you still hadn't found the gap in the sealing formation.]
[The depths of the Desert of Death were far larger than imagined, and Old Li and his companions had no idea where the gap in the formation was, relying on luck to search.]
[Another two days passed, and you suddenly heard the roar of a Demonic Dragon approaching from afar.]
[Old Li's expression changed slightly, and he flung you away.]
[He shouted at you, "Run!"][Then, you saw Old Li charge toward the Demonic Dragon.]
[Seeing the Demonic Dragon, sorrow filled your heart. It seemed your father, Jiang Fushan, had indeed fallen.]
[Now, Old Li's intention was clear: he was going to hold off the Demonic Dragon to buy you time to escape, which meant his fate was sealed as well.]
[Filled with grief and anger, you didn't hesitate and ran with all your might.]
[You knew this was no time for sentimentality.]
[Half a day passed in an instant, and the dragon's roar echoed again.]
[You looked at the enormous Demonic Dragon, powerless to resist.]
[You died at the age of 63!]
[This simulation has ended.]
[You may choose two rewards from this simulation: Divine Hand (Talent), Martial Dao Cultivation (True Core Realm, First Layer), Immortal Dao Cultivation (Elemental Infant Realm, First Layer)]
[Divine Hand (Talent): Costs 1 million Energy Value.]
[Martial Dao Cultivation (True Core Realm, First Layer): Costs 10 million Energy Value.]
[Immortal Dao Cultivation (Elemental Infant Realm, First Layer): Costs 10 million Energy Value.]
[Important Note: Due to the host cultivating the Divine Dao, your cultivation has already broken through a major realm. You must choose both Immortal Dao and Martial Dao cultivation simultaneously, or you will be unable to advance.]
Jiang Yifeng was stunned by the simulator's final prompt.
Cultivating the Divine Dao came with such complications!
Did this mean that every time he broke through a major realm, he would have to choose both Martial Dao and Immortal Dao?
It seemed that future simulations would need more careful planning, with intentional control over his cultivation level.
After all, he needed to save exchange opportunities for better talents and various combat techniques.
Since Martial Dao and Immortal Dao had to be chosen together, there was no dilemma about this simulation's rewards.
"Ugh!"
Suddenly, Jiang Yifeng thought, even if he didn't have to choose both, he wouldn't pick the Divine Hand talent, which was only good for holding a dudou.
So, he silently made his choice.
"I choose Martial Dao Cultivation and Immortal Dao Cultivation!"
He made his decision.
[Ding, Martial Dao Cultivation (True Core Realm, First Layer) successfully extracted, deducting 10 million Energy Value, remaining Energy Value: 2.2 billion...]
[Ding, Immortal Dao Cultivation (Elemental Infant Realm, First Layer) successfully extracted, deducting 10 million Energy Value, remaining Energy Value: 2.2 billion...]
As soon as the simulator's voice fell, Jiang Yifeng sensed changes within his body.
Two minutes later, the enhancement was complete.
At this moment, Jiang Yifeng began to recall the details of this simulation.
Besides the cultivation improvement, he had attempted to escape the sealed land again.
However, just as he had suspected, forcefully breaking through the Desert of Death was not feasible.
Of course, Jiang Yifeng didn't consider this a wasted effort.
Instead, he felt this attempt had shown him an opportunity.
After his father, Jiang Fushan, had delayed the Demonic Dragon, it took four days for the dragon to catch up.
If he could pinpoint the exact location of the formation's gap in the Desert of Death, there might be a chance to break through.
Jiang Yifeng thought that perhaps in future simulations, he could ask the Mystic Turtle of the Endless Sea.
It might know.
"Sigh, there's still a week left. I can think it over slowly. For now, let's go listen to some music!"
Finally, Jiang Yifeng muttered to himself and walked out the door.
Time flew by!
In the blink of an eye, a week had passed.
The simulation count had refreshed.
Jiang Yifeng returned to his room and silently commanded.
"Start simulation!"
[One simulation attempt consumed, remaining attempts: 0]
[Drawing Blue Talent costs 100,000 Energy Value, drawing Purple Talent costs 1 million Energy Value, please choose!]
"Draw Purple Talent."
[Ding, 1 million Energy Value deducted, drawing Purple Talent, remaining Energy Value: 2.2 billion...]
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the talent: Child of Fortune.]
[Child of Fortune: Luck is on your side, resources and opportunities will come to you!]
(Note: Although your luck is extraordinary, provoking enemies far stronger than yourself still means certain death.)
Jiang Yifeng's eyes lit up at this talent.
Child of Fortune?
This talent was fantastic.
So, after this simulation, this talent was a must-have.
With this in mind, Jiang Yifeng felt more confident about this simulation.
He knew roughly what to do.
Thus, he immediately looked at the simulation panel.
[The 19th simulation begins.]
[You realize you have entered the simulation.]
[On the first day, you choose to leave Green Hills City under the cover of night.]
[As soon as you step out of the Jiang Family Mansion, you see a silver note worth a thousand taels on the street.]
[You glance at it, but can't be bothered to pick up such a small amount of money.]
[On the second morning, you arrive at the ruins of the Heavenly Profound Temple in the Evergreen Mountain Range.]
[You clear the ruins and bury the remains found there.]
[On the third day, you begin serious cultivation of the Immortal Dao.]
[On the tenth day, while cultivating, you are startled by a noise.]
[You discover a Spirit Stone has fallen beside you.]
[How could a Spirit Stone fall from the sky?]
[Is the Child of Fortune talent really this outrageous?]
[Soon, you find out why, as the person who dropped the Spirit Stone appears before you.]
[The newcomer is just a Core Formation, First Layer cultivator, while you are already at the Nascent Soul stage. Even without using the Eye of Insight, you can tell.]
[Despite this, you use the Eye of Insight to confirm the person's identity.]
[If they are a local cultivator, you can let it go since you don't lack a single Spirit Stone.]
[But if they are an Immortal Slave, well, you wouldn't mind taking that Spirit Stone.]
[Soon, you identify the person, and with a smirk, you leap forward, unleashing a torrent of spiritual energy.]
[You crush the Immortal Slave with an overwhelming amount of spiritual energy.]
[You clap your hands and mutter, "So weak!"]
[Then you walk over to the corpse and take their storage ring.]
[To avoid attracting other Immortal Slaves, you perform a cremation, scattering even the ashes.]
