Simulating Endless Possibilities: Invincible Once I Act - Chapter 20: Green Robe battles the giant dragon

[In the fifth year, you arrived at an oasis in the desert.]

[After examining the Desert of Death Map (fragment), you realized that the final destination was only a few thousand miles away.]

[You knew that the destination was the place where you first died in this desert, where a giant shadow loomed. You suspected it was a powerful demonic beast.]

[So, you stopped and decided to settle down at this oasis, not daring to get any closer.]

[In the same year, your cultivation in the Immortal Dao finally broke through to the fourth level of Qi Refining.]

[In the sixth year, you completely settled in the oasis in the desert. Besides cultivating, you went out to hunt animals to fill your hunger.]

[With lessons learned from previous simulations, you always chose solitary animals to avoid attracting too many and causing a heavy scent of blood.]

[In the seventh year, you continued to diligently cultivate and made significant progress.]

[In the ninth year, your cultivation in the Immortal Dao broke through to the fifth level of Qi Refining.]

[In the thirteenth year, you reached the sixth level of Qi Refining.]

[In the eighteenth year, you reached the seventh level of Qi Refining.]

[In the twenty-third year, you reached the eighth level of Qi Refining.]

[In the twenty-eighth year, you reached the ninth level of Qi Refining.]

[Over these years, without any external disturbances and consuming hundreds of Spirit Stones, your cultivation in the Immortal Dao steadily improved.]

[On a certain day in the thirtieth year, after waking up, you practiced the Unnamed Manual as usual. Just as you finished, you suddenly sensed a stream of energy flowing through your flesh.]

[You knew clearly that this was not spiritual energy but Martial Dao Primordial Energy condensed from your flesh.]

[You didn’t expect that by merely practicing the Unnamed Manual once a day, the Martial Dao you were about to give up on would actually break through to the second major realm, the Condensing Core Realm.]

[You just smiled faintly at this. Decades of cultivation had made your mindset much more serene.]

[In the days that followed, you did not intensify your Martial Dao cultivation despite the breakthrough.]

[Most of your time was still spent on cultivating the Immortal Dao Mental Cultivation Method, as you had Spirit Stone resources for the Immortal Dao.]

[However, you lacked the pills or the blood and essence of demonic beasts needed to enhance your physical body’s vitality for Martial Dao cultivation.]

[You thought that there might be demonic beasts in this desert, like the giant shadow that devoured you in previous simulations, and that black giant python.]

[But you wanted to simulate for a few more years and didn’t dare to target them yet!]

[Of course, you also considered using the extreme methods in the Unnamed Manual to cultivate Martial Dao, but unfortunately, this required specific dangerous places.]

[And you didn’t know where such places were.]

[In the thirty-third year, you reached the peak of the Qi Refining period.]

[After reaching the peak of Qi Refining, you needed to break through to Foundation Establishment to continue improving.]

[The Mental Cultivation Method of the Heavenly Profound Art stated that the Qi Sea must be filled, and the gathered Qi must condense into liquid to achieve Foundation Establishment.]

[You understood that after reaching the peak of Qi Refining, you needed to liquefy the spiritual energy to break through to the Foundation Establishment period.]

[You didn’t know if there was any quick method to condense spiritual energy into liquid.]

[You could only continuously compress the spiritual energy by circulating the Mental Cultivation Method.]

[It was a long process, but you were not discouraged and kept working hard.]

[In the thirty-fourth year, you were still compressing the spiritual energy without much progress.]

[In the thirty-fifth year, you successfully compressed a few strands of spiritual energy together, causing them to start merging. Each strand became slightly thicker, but there was no sign of turning into liquid.]

[Years passed in the blink of an eye.]

[In the forty-first year, you successfully compressed and merged multiple strands of spiritual energy into a single droplet.]

[You were somewhat excited, feeling like you saw the hope of Foundation Establishment.]

[But this was just the beginning. You needed to turn all the spiritual energy in your Qi Sea into liquid to step into Foundation Establishment.]

[In the forty-third year, while cultivating, you suddenly felt a tremor.]

[You felt a bit uneasy, recalling the giant shadow in the desert from your first simulation. You remembered that it seemed to fly out of the desert this year.]

[You felt somewhat reassured, thinking you were still far from that location.]

[However, you didn’t let your guard down and stopped cultivating, holding the Teleportation Jade Plate in your hand, ready to teleport away if anything went wrong.]

[At that moment, you saw a dragon shadow appear in the distant sky.]

[Although it was far away, you were certain it was a dragon.]

[This made you even more anxious. As a transmigrator, you had only heard of dragons in mythological stories, where they were synonymous with invincible power.]

[But then you saw an astonishing scene.]

[A dazzling light suddenly burst out in front of the demonic dragon, shooting straight towards it.]

[Immediately, a high-pitched dragon roar echoed, audible even from thousands of miles away.]

[It was then that you noticed a small black dot in front of the demonic dragon.]

[Previously, due to the distance, you hadn’t observed this detail.]

[Now it seemed that the black dot was likely a person.]

[You suddenly thought that perhaps a cultivator was fighting the demonic dragon?]

[Time passed bit by bit as you watched the sky from afar.]

[Your guess was soon confirmed; indeed, someone was battling the demonic dragon.]

[Their battlefield was gradually moving towards you.]

[You could now clearly see the figure fighting.]

[The person, clad in a green robe, was evenly matched with the demonic dragon, which seemed to be thousands of meters long.]

[The figure felt inexplicably familiar, as if you had seen them before.]

[But you had no time to ponder who this person was.]

[The battle between the person and the dragon was terrifying. The intensity of the fight made you feel that if you got caught in it, you would surely die.]

[Now that their battlefield was very close to you, you decided it was time to run.]

[Without hesitation, you activated the Teleportation Jade Plate and instantly disappeared from your original spot.]

[When you reappeared, the scene before you almost made you wet your pants.]

[You had been teleported right in front of the demonic dragon.]

[The earth-colored demonic dragon was also stunned to see you appear, but it quickly spewed a mouthful of dragon flames towards you.]

[In your panic, you tried to activate the Teleportation Jade Plate again.]

[But the aftereffects of the previous teleportation made it difficult for you to gather Qi to activate the teleportation array.]

[Just as you thought this simulation was about to end, you suddenly heard a familiar voice: “Feng’er!”]

[Then you saw a familiar face appear in front of you, blocking the dragon flames.]

[You didn’t expect that the familiar figure in the green robe was actually your father, Jiang Fushan.]
