BXBX NOVEL Chapter 74: Giant hand that covered the sky
[After all, a year ago, you had already warned everyone, but unfortunately, your words carried little weight, and most people didn\'t believe you!]
[In the forty-third year, Old Li led the remaining cultivators of Spine Mountain to find your father, Jiang Fushan, to discuss breaking out of the sealed land together.]
[Because you had given your father a lot of spirit stone resources more than twenty years ago, accelerating his cultivation progress, his cultivation level had now reached the ninth level of Tribulation Crossing.]
[Your father volunteered to lead the charge and stated that he could set off at any time.]
[Upon hearing this, Old Li and the others were naturally delighted. Having a master like your father, at the ninth level of Tribulation Crossing, leading the way undoubtedly increased their chances of breaking through the sealing formation.]
[So they decided to set off immediately to brave the Desert of Death!]
[You, who had been listening all along, quickly spoke up to stop them.]
[In this simulation, you had decided from the beginning to change the timing of venturing into the Desert of Death!][After all, you knew that the Heavenly Thunder would descend in ten years, so there was no rush to enter the Desert of Death.]
[You thought that since your father could cultivate from a mortal to the ninth level of Tribulation Crossing in just over thirty years, what could he achieve with another ten years?]
[You believed that it was not impossible for your father to reach the realm of a celestial being by then!]
[Once your father had the cultivation level of a celestial being, breaking through the sealing formation would be much easier.]
[With a celestial father by your side, would there still be much danger from the Dragon Souls behind the formation\'s rift?]
[It was precisely because you knew there was still time that you jumped out to oppose.]
[Hearing your objection, everyone turned to look at you.]
[Their gazes were no longer friendly.]
[After all, if they couldn\'t leave here, most of them would likely be struck down by the Heavenly Thunder!]
[Only your father, Jiang Fushan, looked at you with a smile and told you not to worry about his safety.]
[You didn\'t care about the others\' gazes, as you understood their feelings, but you had your reasons.]
[However, facing your father\'s words, you felt a bit guilty for a moment.]
[You knew this was a simulation, not reality, so you hadn\'t worried about your father\'s safety at all!]
[But you quickly adjusted and explained to everyone.]
[You said that the guardian beasts were too powerful and suggested that everyone cultivate for a while longer before making the attempt.]
[Everyone understood your point, but since they didn\'t know when the Heavenly Thunder would descend, there weren\'t many voices of agreement.]
[Although you knew the timing of the Heavenly Thunder, you didn\'t know how to explain it.]
[For a moment, you were in a dilemma.]
[In the end, the timing for venturing into the Desert of Death was postponed.]
[The reason was actually quite simple: since you had spoken, how could your father, who doted on you, not listen!]
[And with your father, the strongest among them, not moving, the others naturally didn\'t dare to venture into the Desert of Death on their own.]
[Seven years passed in the blink of an eye.]
[In the fiftieth year, your Immortal Dao cultivation had also advanced to the third level of Spirit Transformation.]
[Advancing two minor realms in seven years didn\'t seem fast.]
[But you knew otherwise; in these eight years, you hadn\'t used any resources, relying solely on absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.]
[This speed was something you couldn\'t have imagined with your previous talent.]
[As for why you didn\'t use resources?]
[Because you had given all the resources to your father, Jiang Fushan, hoping he could advance quickly.]
[After all, your father\'s talent was simply too extraordinary. You felt that investing in him might be more worthwhile.]
[As long as your father was strong, he could safely break through the Desert of Death. Once in the land of Dragon Souls, you wouldn\'t face much danger, and the simulation duration would surely increase.]
[You thought you were incredibly clever!]
[In the fifty-first year, your father emerged from seclusion.]
[Several years ago, your father had already reached the peak of Tribulation Crossing and had been in seclusion preparing to break through to the celestial realm.]
[This time, upon emerging, he immediately began his breakthrough.]
[You saw him standing in the void, his aura continuously rising, causing the void to tremble.]
[At this moment, thunder flashed in the sky, striking down towards your father.]
[For a moment, you couldn\'t tell whether this was Heavenly Thunder or the tribulation lightning for becoming a celestial.]
[Your father, however, remained calm, facing the descending lightning head-on.]
[Half an hour later, the tribulation lightning ceased, and your father, Jiang Fushan, successfully broke through to the celestial realm.]
[You breathed a sigh of relief, realizing it was the tribulation lightning and not Heavenly Thunder controlled by celestial beings.]
[But just then, thunder rumbled in the sky once more.]
[Purple-red Heavenly Thunder rapidly struck down towards your father.]
["Oh no..." you were momentarily stunned.]
[You thought you should have anticipated this; if even breaking through to a Ten-Grade Golden Core would attract Heavenly Thunder controlled by celestial beings, how much more so for breaking through to the celestial realm.]
[Unlike your worries, your father, Jiang Fushan, laughed heartily and shouted, "Bring it on!"]
[Then you saw him directly attack the purple-red Heavenly Thunder.]
[A few minutes later, your father, Jiang Fushan, was unharmed, but the purple-red Heavenly Thunder had completely dissipated.]
["WTF, awesome, Dad." Seeing this, you were already jumping with joy in your heart!]
[You thought that with such a strong father, the simulation duration would be stable from now on.]
[But would it really be so?]
[Just as the purple-red Heavenly Thunder dissipated, the void suddenly tore open.]
[A giant hand that covered the sky descended from above.]
[As this hand fell, the entire Southern Regions began to collapse.]
[No one in the Southern Regions survived.]
[You died at the age of 71!]
[This simulation has ended.]
[You can choose two rewards from this simulation: Five Elements Heavenly Spiritual Root (Talent), Divine Dao Cultivation.]
[Five Elements Heavenly Spiritual Root (Talent)]: Price 10 million energy value.
[Divine Dao Cultivation]: Price 300 million energy value; Note: Includes Immortal Dao Cultivation (Spirit Transformation Level 3) and Martial Dao Cultivation (Unity Realm Level 1).
The abrupt end of this simulation caught Jiang Yifeng off guard.
Earlier, he had watched as his father, Jiang Fushan, broke through to become a celestial and thought everything was secure.
He planned to leverage his father\'s powerful strength to extend the simulation duration and improve his cultivation.
But in the end, something unexpected happened.
Jiang Yifeng was now somewhat puzzled.
That giant hand covering the sky must have been the work of a powerful celestial being.
But based on the information he had gathered from the Mystic Turtle, this shouldn\'t have happened.
The previous assumption was that powerful celestial beings were playing a game in the sealed land of the Southern Regions and wouldn\'t easily make a move.
So why did things suddenly change now?
