Simulating Endless Possibilities: Invincible Once I Act

Chapter 5: The pinnacle of martial arts can also create worlds



[As someone from the 21st century, you couldn\'t bear to see these skeletons exposed to the elements, so you invited Wu Youdao to help you build graves for them.]

[Month Six: The ruins remain, but a graveyard has now appeared around them.]

[You look at the last skeleton in the distance, thinking that once it\'s buried, it will be time to leave.]

[You can basically confirm that these ruins were once a very small cultivation sect, given the skeletal remains and broken weapons.]

[Unfortunately, even if this was once a cultivation sect, it doesn\'t seem to be of any practical use to you now.]

[As you lift the last skeleton, your eyes light up. There are two books beneath it.]

[This discovery brings a flicker of hope to your otherwise disheartened mood.]

[After burying the skeleton, you start to examine the two books with a mix of excitement and anxiety, hoping to glean some information about cultivation.]

[Upon examination, one of the books is titled "Heavenly Profound Art," and it turns out to be a cultivation technique.]

[Seeing a cultivation technique makes you incredibly excited, and you can\'t help but think that good deeds are indeed rewarded.]

[If you hadn\'t decided to bury these skeletons, you might have missed this entirely.]

[The book "Heavenly Profound Art" is written in archaic language, making it difficult for you to understand at the moment.]

[You decide to keep it safe and plan to study it slowly once you return to Green Hills City.]

[The other book, titled "Cultivation Notes," is unfortunately quite damaged.]

[Despite this, you manage to extract some information from it.]

[The first page records that this world is called the Nine Mystic Realm, but the rest is too blurred to read.]

[Flipping through a few more pages, you find a record of the cultivation levels.]

[You learn that cultivation is divided into Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, Spirit Transformation, Void Refinement, Body Integration, Great Ascension, and Tribulation Crossing... and then it becomes blurred again.]

[Further on, there are some scattered words, but they are too fragmented to piece together into coherent sentences, so you stop your research.]

[These discoveries already make you ecstatic.]

[After all, the "Heavenly Profound Art" is well-preserved, and you feel hopeful about your path to immortality.]

***

"Huh? I actually found a cultivation technique?" In reality, Jiang Yifeng is also somewhat excited.

Suppressing his excitement, he continues to watch the simulator\'s progress.

***

[You are pleased with your findings in the ruins, but also a bit conflicted.]

[You had originally planned to visit the Heavenly Profound Temple again in a few years, but now that you have obtained a cultivation technique, you wonder if it\'s still necessary.]

[You don\'t have an immediate answer and decide to think about it later.]

[Meanwhile, you notice that Wu Youdao has been observing your discoveries.]

[To ensure your safety, you agree to let him copy the technique.]

[Wu Youdao just chuckles and says he only wants to practice martial arts; even if there is a path to immortality, he has no interest in it.]

[You are filled with respect for him.]

[Month Seven: You set off on your journey back.]

[Month Nine: Thanks to your improved physical condition, it takes only two months for you and Wu Youdao to return to Green Hills City.]

[Back in Green Hills City, you spend every day studying the "Heavenly Profound Art."]

[Year One: You can now understand and smoothly read the "Heavenly Profound Art."]

[Year Two: You attempt to practice the "Heavenly Profound Art" but achieve nothing; you can\'t draw Qi into your body.]

[Year Three: You still achieve nothing.]

[Year Four: You think perhaps your physical strength is insufficient, so you start training daily.]

[Year Five: Your physical strength has increased significantly; you can now lift five to six hundred pounds with one hand, but you still can\'t draw Qi into your body.]

***

In reality, Jiang Yifeng furrows his brow.

Is there a problem with the technique? Or do I lack the talent for cultivation?

This won\'t do.

According to the previous simulation, a shadowy figure will appear in the thirteenth year.

With the current progress in the simulator, there\'s no way to resist.

"If it doesn\'t work out, I\'ll practice martial arts. With stronger skills, I can leave Green Hills City and avoid the shadowy figure, extending the simulation time to improve further."

Jiang Yifeng shouts in his mind.

Hoping to influence his simulated self.

***

[Year Six: You still make no progress with the "Heavenly Profound Art," and you start to feel disheartened, wondering if you lack the talent for cultivation.]

[After all, you\'ve read many novels in your previous life and know that cultivation requires various talents.]

[So you stop obsessing over the "Heavenly Profound Art."]

[This year, you start learning martial arts from Wu Youdao at the Wu Family Martial Arts School.]

***

"Haha." Seeing this, Jiang Yifeng can\'t help but laugh out loud in reality.

He understands the simulator even better now.

As expected, even in the middle of a simulation, his real self can influence it.

Just as he thought about practicing martial arts, the simulator immediately followed suit.

***

[Year Seven: After a year of training with Wu Youdao, your combat skills have improved significantly.]

[Your physical strength has increased astonishingly; you can now easily lift over a thousand pounds with one hand.]

[Year Eight: Your strength doesn\'t increase further, as if you\'ve reached a limit.]

[However, your martial arts techniques have improved greatly, and with your strength, you can now spar evenly with Wu Youdao.]

[Year Nine: Wu Youdao is no longer your match. He says he has nothing more to teach you.]

[However, he mentions an ancestral martial arts manual and asks if you are willing to learn it.]

[Now you understand that as long as it can enhance your strength, it doesn\'t matter what it is.]

[So you agree without hesitation and even hand over a stack of silver notes as tuition.]

[But the usually money-loving Wu Youdao shakes his head and doesn\'t accept them.]

[Afterward, Wu Youdao solemnly hands you an old, yellowed manual.]

[Wu Youdao says this manual is a treasured heirloom.]

[He explains that his ancestors claimed that mastering this manual could lead to ascending to immortality through martial arts.]

[Unfortunately, he lacks the talent to meet the training standards.]

[He hopes this manual can shine in your hands and revive the glory of martial arts.]

[Hearing Wu Youdao\'s words, you can\'t help but feel curious.]

[But when you take the yellowed manual and see it doesn\'t even have a title, you instantly think less of it.]

[Casually flipping through it, the words inside make your heart skip a beat.]

[In the beginning, humans had no techniques. They used martial arts to break the heavens, slay demons, exterminate devils, move mountains, and fill seas; they guarded the human realm for countless eras.]

[Just reading one line makes your blood boil.]

[You can\'t help but wonder if you were wrong. Is martial arts in this world not as simple as you thought?]

[You continue reading.]

[The pinnacle of martial arts can also create worlds, but it requires breaking through human limits and enduring countless crises.]
