【If it were just that, you wouldn't be worried.】
【Although your cultivation level has decreased, you don't feel any loss in strength.】
【Even though your knowledge of cultivation is incomplete, you believe that the expansion of your Qi Sea has solidified your foundation, which will surely be beneficial in the future.】
【However, this isn't the end. You sense that as your Qi Sea expands to a certain size, cracks begin to appear, as if it's about to explode.】
【What would happen if your Qi Sea bursts? You think that you would definitely be unable to cultivate anymore!】
【Now you face a choice: continue absorbing the dragon egg to enhance your martial cultivation and completely give up on cultivation.】
【Or abandon the enhancement of martial cultivation to preserve your chance at cultivation.】
【If this were reality, you would definitely stop absorbing the dragon egg immediately to save your Qi Sea, but since this is a simulation...】
【Heh, you grin and speed up your absorption of the dragon egg.】
【Is your Qi Sea about to shatter? You think to yourself.】
【"Boom!" With a loud explosion, you burst!】
【No need to think about it, you're dead! You lived to the age of 63.】
【This simulation has ended.】
【You can choose two rewards from this simulation: Luck +1 (Talent), Heavenly Profound Art (Immortal Dao Mental Cultivation Method), Martial Dao Cultivation (Ninth Level of Condensing Core Realm), Immortal Dao Cultivation (Perfect Qi Refining/Third Level of Qi Refining).】
【Luck +1 (Talent): Price 1 million Energy Value.】
【Heavenly Profound Art (Immortal Dao Mental Cultivation Method): Price 100 million Energy Value.】
【Ninth Level of Condensing Core Realm (Martial Dao Cultivation): Price 9 million Energy Value.】
【Immortal Dao Cultivation (Perfect Qi Refining/Third Level of Qi Refining): Price 950,000 Energy Value/100 million Energy Value.】
(Note: You can only choose one for Immortal Dao Cultivation. Perfect Qi Refining is a normal cultivation level, while Third Level of Qi Refining is the cultivation level after absorbing the dragon egg, with an expanded Qi Sea and some dragon essence. Note: The cracks in the Qi Sea have been repaired by the simulator.)
Jiang Yifeng looked at the simulator, surprised that in this simulation, he didn't die from being killed.
However, thinking about the gains from this simulation, he couldn't help but smile.
The rewards from this simulation were incredibly rich.
There were two particularly important pieces of information.
First, he learned that his father did not die in the event thirteen years later. In fact, even forty years later, he was able to fight a Demonic Dragon, indicating that he had become an extremely powerful cultivator.
Second, he discovered a way to leave this so-called sealed land. According to his father Jiang Fushan in the simulation, crossing the Desert of Death might allow him to escape.
Jiang Yifeng felt that in future simulations, he must find a way to leave here. Otherwise, the lack of resources for cultivation and the constant need to evade pursuit would hinder his progress.
The rewards from this simulation were also unexpected.
There were two options for Immortal Dao Cultivation. Although one was only at the third level of Qi Refining, Jiang Yifeng believed it was better than Perfect Qi Refining.
The simulator had indicated that this was the cultivation level after expanding the Qi Sea.
Although Jiang Yifeng didn't know much about Immortal Dao, he knew that a larger Qi Sea meant more spiritual energy storage and greater strength in the future.
Moreover, this third level of Qi Refining cultivation even contained some dragon essence in the Qi Sea.
Jiang Yifeng didn't know what dragon essence was, but he believed it was related to the dragon egg he absorbed in the simulation.
Anything related to dragons couldn't be weak, right?
So Jiang Yifeng didn't need to think much; he had to choose this third level of Qi Refining cultivation.
Choosing this would make his path in Immortal Dao more powerful and longer-lasting.
As for the other reward, he could put off the Heavenly Profound Art for now. In reality, he wouldn't actively cultivate or fight, so the Immortal Dao Mental Cultivation Method wasn't urgent.
That left him with a choice between Luck +1 and Martial Dao Cultivation.
Jiang Yifeng felt that the Luck +1 talent might be useful, but also might not be. It was hard to judge.
It might have been useful in finding the dragon egg this time, but it didn't prevent his death.
In the end, Jiang Yifeng shook his head and made his choice.
"I choose Martial Dao Cultivation (Ninth Level of Condensing Core Realm) and Immortal Dao Cultivation (Third Level of Qi Refining)."
Jiang Yifeng felt that Luck +1, a blue talent, might be useful occasionally, but not consistently. Strength was more important.
【Ding, Martial Dao Cultivation (Ninth Level of Condensing Core Realm) extracted successfully, 9 million Energy Value deducted, remaining Energy Value: 12.6 billion...】
【Ding, Immortal Dao Cultivation (Third Level of Qi Refining) extracted successfully, 100 million Energy Value deducted, remaining Energy Value: 12.5 billion...】
After choosing his rewards, Jiang Yifeng immediately felt changes in his body and Qi Sea!
He could clearly sense the increase in his strength.
A few seconds later, the enhancement was complete, and Jiang Yifeng felt an overwhelming sense of invincibility.
But his rationality quickly suppressed it.
Soon, the simulator's upgrade prompt sounded.
【Ding, detected that the host has met the conditions for upgrading the simulator. Would you like to spend 1 billion Energy Value to upgrade?】
Jiang Yifeng responded immediately.
No need to ask, he had been waiting for this.
【Ding, simulator upgraded to version 3.0, 1 billion Energy Value deducted, remaining Energy Value: 11.5 billion...】
【Simulator version 3.0: Green Talent extraction removed, Purple Talent extraction added.】
【New feature: Host can choose an appropriate time to spend Energy Value for deep simulation; 10,000 Energy Value per hour.】
(Note: Death in deep simulation will not affect the host in reality.)
【Deep Simulation: A feature developed to enhance the host's state of mind, allowing the host's soul to enter a realistic simulation environment to experience the joys of cultivation and combat.】
Jiang Yifeng looked at the upgraded simulator and nodded in satisfaction.
Not bad, he could finally extract Purple Talents.
As for the deep simulation feature.
Jiang Yifeng thought it was great. It could help him improve his state of mind and combat skills in the simulation.
Currently, he had cultivation levels but no state of mind, no mental cultivation method, and no combat skills.
If an unexpected situation arose, could he fight?
The answer was definitely no. Even if he did, he would be a weakling.
Jiang Yifeng was aware of this. He hadn't even exchanged for an Immortal Dao Mental Cultivation Method, so he didn't know how to circulate spiritual energy or fight.
He had no intention of fighting in reality for now.
But with the deep simulation feature, he could consider improving his combat skills when his cultivation level became stronger.
For now, he wouldn't need it. In the simulations, the cultivators he encountered were all formidable.
With his current cultivation level, encountering those cultivators would mean instant death. Deep simulation would only enhance his ability to die.
