Fate Simulator: Path to Greatness

---

As soon as Jiang Yifeng made his choice, a jade talisman suddenly appeared in his hand.

After careful observation, he couldn't detect any tricks, but he still kept it close to his body.

After all, this was something related to his own safety.

At the same time, Jiang Yifeng felt a change in his body.

He sensed a wisp of energy flowing within him.

Gradually, he became aware of the existence of his sea of qi, where vast amounts of spiritual energy were swirling.

At this moment, Jiang Yifeng understood that the simulator had begun extracting his immortal cultivation.

"Bang!"

Jiang Yifeng suddenly felt a switch in his body being flipped, causing his physical strength to surge.

In an instant, his martial arts cultivation broke through to the seventh level of body tempering.

"This..."

Jiang Yifeng was also shocked.

This was something he had never expected.

He had never anticipated such a surprise—his immortal cultivation improvement had actually led to a breakthrough in his martial arts cultivation.

But after some thought, Jiang Yifeng realized that it made perfect sense.

It had been mentioned in previous simulations that spiritual energy, when flowing through the body, could strengthen physical abilities.

In reality, the limit of the sixth level of body tempering could be surpassed after the third level of Qi Refining, allowing the physical strength to reach the seventh level of body tempering.

Once everything settled, Jiang Yifeng recalled his experience in the simulation.

He realized that the most pressing issue for him now was his poor talent in immortal cultivation.

To improve it, the simulator would need to be upgraded to extract higher-level talents.

So, he went to see the housekeeper, Jiang Dafu, and asked him to speed up the acquisition of gold, silver, and jewelry.

Once that was done, Jiang Yifeng leisurely made his way to Chunyanlou to listen to music.

The time spent listening to music in the brothel always passed quickly.

Seven days went by in the blink of an eye.

During this time, Jiang Dafu had delivered large amounts of gold, silver, and jewelry to Jiang Yifeng's courtyard.

Jiang Yifeng wasted no time and exchanged everything for energy value, watching as boxes of jewelry disappeared.

To avoid raising suspicion, he had already instructed his men to dig a large underground secret room in his yard, making it seem like he had developed a new hobby of collecting valuables. All the gold, silver, and jewelry were hidden underground.

Soon, all the items had been exchanged, and an electronic sound rang out.

[Ding, exchange of 130 boxes of various gold, silver, and jewelry complete, obtaining 2.6 billion energy value.]

Jiang Yifeng looked at the nearly 2.7 billion energy points in the simulator and waited quietly.

Unfortunately, the "ding" he was waiting for did not sound.

"Does it take 10 billion to upgrade the simulator?" Jiang Yifeng muttered to himself.

The simulator had been upgraded with 100 million energy points before, and he had thought that 1 billion would suffice for the next upgrade.

However, now that he had nearly 2.7 billion energy points and the simulator had not upgraded, Jiang Yifeng couldn't help but frown.

If it truly took 10 billion, how much would it cost to upgrade next time?

It was becoming a bit troublesome.

If this continued, wouldn't the Jiang family go bankrupt?

Jiang Yifeng felt a tinge of guilt.

Soon, he put those thoughts aside.

It was just business. It didn't matter. When he became invincible, he could have anything he wanted.

Since the simulator couldn't be upgraded, Jiang Yifeng decided not to simulate for the time being. After all, he could store up to three simulations.

It was better to save them for now. Maybe when he accumulated enough energy, it would be enough to upgrade the simulator.

As time passed, Jiang Yifeng noticed that since he had sped up the acquisition of gold, silver, and jewelry to gain energy, his father, Jiang Fushan, seemed to be getting busier and busier.

Jiang Yifeng realized that his actions might have affected the business to some extent.

Though his father hadn't mentioned anything directly, he worked even harder to make up for the losses.

Seeing his father like this, Jiang Yifeng silently cheered him on: "Keep going!"

Then he walked into Chunyanlou to listen to the music.

Jiang Yifeng was helpless. This was just his personality. If he suddenly became motivated and someone with ill intentions discovered it, wouldn't it be very dangerous?

After all, he had no idea if the immortal cultivator who had attacked the Jiang family was still watching them.

For the sake of both his and his family's safety, he could only continue to listen to music every day.

He couldn't help but feel innocent about the situation.

Two weeks passed in a flash.

During this time, Jiang Yifeng exchanged a large amount of energy value. His total energy points now neared 8 billion, still a bit short of 10 billion.

The simulator still hadn't been upgraded.

Unfortunately, the number of stored simulations had reached three.

Jiang Yifeng knew he could no longer wait for the simulator to upgrade.

So, he returned to his room and silently said, "Start simulation!"

[1 simulation used, 2 remaining.]

[Drawing green talent consumes 1000 energy points, drawing blue talent consumes 10 energy points. Please choose your draw!]

"Draw blue talent."

[Ding, 10 energy points deducted. Blue talent is being drawn. Remaining energy: 7.9 billion.]

[Congratulations on obtaining the blue talent: Human Bomb.]

[Human Bomb]: When you die, a violent explosion will inevitably occur. Those who seek your life will not escape unscathed.

"Heh!"

Jiang Yifeng chuckled in frustration upon seeing the talent.

Could a violent explosion even kill a great cultivator?

Jiang Yifeng thought it impossible. After all, the talent only stated that those who wanted his life wouldn't escape unscathed, which likely only meant they'd be inconvenienced.

In the end, the talent's only function seemed to be ensuring he wouldn't leave a complete corpse behind after death.

It was truly laughable.

Fortunately, Jiang Yifeng had planned this simulation carefully and had no expectations for the talent.

So, he turned his attention to the simulation text.

[The 6th simulation begins.]

[You look around and realize that you have entered the simulation.]

[You quietly leave Qingshan City alone.]

[Five days later, you arrive at the ruins of the Changqing Mountain Range.]

[Upon arriving, you bury all the bones in graves as usual and, as an afterthought, take the immortal mind method "Tianxuan Gong."]

[This time, you have your own little plans. To please the woman in white who will appear later, you even erect a delicate tombstone for each grave.]

[After completing everything, you build a wooden house for yourself next to the cemetery.]

[Then you begin practicing and hunting every day.]

[The first year passes uneventfully.]

[The second year, still nothing happens.]

[The third year, the woman in white appears at the ruins. To be precise, it is no longer a ruin!]

[You, who have already cleaned up the area, stand ready.]

[The woman in white looks around, puzzled, wondering if she has come to the wrong place.]

[Finally, she gazes at the exquisitely built cemetery and you, standing in the small wooden house next to it.]

[This time, instead of simply standing in the ruins, the woman in white approaches you in an instant.]

[Before you can react, she grabs your wrist.]

[You feel a strong surge of spiritual energy rushing into your meridians and reaching your sea of qi.]

[The woman in white is investigating the immortal mind method you are practicing.]

[Soon after, the spiritual energy is retracted by the woman in white, and she looks at you kindly, saying: "So there are descendants of my sect."]

[You immediately realize that she has mistaken you for a descendant of the sect in the ruins.]
