Chapter 69: It turns out I was being too clever for my own good!

This time, during the simulation, he accidentally left the Southern Regions.

After leaving the Forest of Ten Thousand Swords, he indeed cultivated quietly for a period.

But that period was only fifty years.

After that, there were constant invasions of violent winds, making it impossible for him to cultivate.

It seemed that even if he replicated this simulation, he wouldn't gain much simulation time.

He still needed to find a way to enter other major regions.

Jiang Yifeng thought that perhaps only in other major regions of the Nine Mystic Realm could he develop safely.

However, after these two simulations, a bold guess emerged in Jiang Yifeng's mind.

Behind the formation crack in the Desert of Death, there were dragon corpses everywhere, filled with the resentful Dragon Souls.

Could that be the cemetery of the Dragon Clan?

And behind the Forest of Ten Thousand Swords was an ocean filled with killing intent, even forming into the shape of a White Tiger.

Jiang Yifeng speculated that this might also be the fallen land of the White Tiger Clan.

After all, he learned from the simulation that the White Tiger Clan had been completely annihilated, leaving only Wu Youdao as the reincarnated one.

If he dared to think even bolder, could the area behind the Endless Sea be the cemetery of the Mystic Turtle Clan?

And the Great Wilderness behind the Valley of Flames, the cemetery of the Phoenix Clan?

Was there a powerful being in the Immortal Realm who exterminated the four Divine Beasts, leaving only one and throwing it into the Southern Regions?

Then using their clan cemeteries to place outside the formation cracks to control and utilize them to guard the formation cracks?

Jiang Yifeng kept pondering various possibilities.

Soon, he shook his head, something didn't seem right.

He had been to the Great Wilderness in the simulation and didn't see the corpses of the Phoenix Clan. Besides being desolate, there were people living there, and there were no signs of a Phoenix cemetery.

Moreover, Bai Ruoxue had entered from outside the Endless Sea. If it was the cemetery of the Mystic Turtle Clan, she should have seen it clearly.

Apart from these, Jiang Yifeng also thought that if a powerful being in the sky wanted to control these Divine Beasts, they wouldn't need to use such coercive methods.

"Still too few clues!"

Jiang Yifeng muttered to himself, not continuing to think about these issues.

He turned his attention to the rewards of this simulation.

There was no need to hesitate about the rewards this time.

The True Meaning of the Killing Dao (Beginner) had already been obtained through deep simulation.

And that Pseudo Spirit Liquid (a pond), although a good cultivation resource for now, was too expensive.

At this moment, Jiang Yifeng also realized that any physical reward seemed to require a lot of energy value.

For example, a single Spirit Stone cost 10,000 energy value.

Initially, when his cultivation was low, the consumption was high, and he didn't think it was expensive, so he exchanged quite a few.

No matter what choices he made, it was difficult to leave this sealed Southern Regions.

Unless his strength reached an extremely powerful realm.

And this realm, Jiang Yifeng thought, might be above the Immortal Realm.

But this wasn't something that could be achieved in a short time.

Since his strength was improving slowly, would upgrading the simulator bring new functions or talents to help him?

Thinking of this, Jiang Yifeng, with a try-it-out mentality, asked the simulator.

"Simulator, what realm is needed for the next upgrade?"

[Ding, hint: Upgrading this simulator to version 4.0 requires consuming 10 billion energy value and the host reaching the Nascent Soul stage or True Core Realm!]

"Ugh," Jiang Yifeng almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

So, he was being foolish again?

He initially thought upgrading the simulator required a higher realm.

After all, when he reached the Core Formation stage, he unlocked the upgrade conditions for version 3.0 of the simulator.

He thought it wouldn't be the next realm to meet the upgrade conditions.

It turned out he was overthinking.

Since that was the case, Jiang Yifeng hurriedly ran out of the room.

Jiang Yifeng directly found the butler, Jiang Dafu, and told him to gather 10,000 tons of the same ore as last time within a week, no matter what.

Last time, 10,000 tons of ore earned him 6 billion energy value.

As long as he got another 10,000 tons, plus his current 5.9 billion energy value, it would be enough to upgrade the simulator.

Seeing his young master so urgent, Jiang Dafu didn't dare refuse and hurriedly went to prepare.

After confirming there were no issues, Jiang Yifeng breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that as long as Jiang Dafu agreed, it would be done.

After all, Jiang Dafu was a reliable butler and never made promises he couldn't keep.

With everything settled, Jiang Yifeng leisurely walked towards the Spring Blossom Pavilion to listen to music.

Time flew by in the blink of an eye.

A week passed quickly.

Not long ago, Jiang Dafu, right at the last moment, gathered 10,000 tons of ore for Jiang Yifeng.

Those ores were secretly transported by Jiang Dafu to the remote old residence of the Jiang Family.

After dismissing everyone, Jiang Yifeng successfully exchanged all the ores for 6 billion energy value.

His total energy value now reached over 11.9 billion!

Now, the conditions for upgrading the simulator were met.
