Su Ming looked at the rewards on the Simulator and had a bold idea.
"I choose the talent—I Want It All!"
[Obtained Purple Talent: I Want It All!]
[Other rewards detected. Activate I Want It All?]
Just as expected!
Seeing this prompt, Su Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After obtaining this talent, he would no longer be limited to choosing only one reward from future simulations—he could obtain them all.
The downside was that this talent was best used only when selecting simulation rewards.
If he used it elsewhere and triggered some unforeseen change like in the simulation, the losses would outweigh the gains.
"Activate the talent!"
In an instant, Su Ming's cultivation broke through to Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, while his alchemy realm also broke through to Third-grade Alchemist.
He completely mastered all the information contained within the Azure Emperor Longevity Art.
He could also freely wield the sliver of True Meaning of Lightning within his Sea of Consciousness.
The next second, Su Ming felt an unknown force charge toward his Primordial Spirit.
His expression changed drastically. He had not expected the Sinister Worm to appear even though he had broken through without taking a Foundation Establishment Pill.
Without time to think, Su Ming immediately mobilized the True Meaning of Lightning in his Sea of Consciousness and launched it at the Sinister Worm.
After a shriek rang out beside Su Ming's ear, that eerie aura vanished.
"How could this happen?"
Su Ming stared at the changes in his body in disbelief.
If he remembered correctly, the root of everything should have lain with the Foundation Establishment Pill. Using the Simulator to break through meant he had never taken one.
"Could it be that if I took a Foundation Establishment Pill in the simulation, it counted as having taken one in reality too?"
"No! That makes no sense!"
After turning it over and over in his mind, Su Ming felt that the waters here ran far too deep.
Not everything Ye Chuxue had told him was correct. There was also much she did not know.
"So even if there is nothing wrong with the Foundation Establishment Pill in this era, breaking through to Foundation Establishment will still result in being devoured by Sinister Worms?"
"Then how do these Sinister Worms enter our bodies?"
In the end, Su Ming sighed helplessly and turned his gaze to the Simulator.
[Simulation cooling down: 12 hours]
When Su Ming looked at the Simulator again, he discovered that the cooldown had changed from one hour to twenty-four hours.
"Looks like it's because I broke through to Foundation Establishment."
While waiting for the Simulator to cool down, Su Ming planned to familiarize himself with his current power. This power still felt somewhat foreign to him.
When Su Ming opened his eyes again, it was already late at night.
"Begin simulation!"
[Simulation begins!]
[Character: Su Ming]
[Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Great Perfection]
[Drawing random talent!]
[Congratulations, you have obtained White Talent: Business Prodigy!]
[Business Prodigy: Reduces your spirit stone expenditure by twenty percent whenever you purchase anything.]
"Uh..."
"No way, bro. This is way too stingy, isn't it? A White Talent?"
Su Ming looked at the White Talent in the Simulator and was instantly rendered speechless.
What use was this thing to him?
Could it be that he was paying back the debt from drawing Young Supreme Being earlier?
[After stabilizing your Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivation, you decide to seek out Ye Chuxue ahead of time.]
[You calculate the timing. Ye Chuxue should only break through to Foundation Establishment one or two years later. Right now, she should still be an Outer Sect disciple.]
[The next day, you search among the Azure Cloud Sect's Outer Sect disciples for a long time before finally spotting Ye Chuxue.]
[At this time, Ye Chuxue is only at Great Perfection of Qi Refining.]
[After concealing your cultivation and approaching her, you whisper three words into her ear: Awakened One.]
[To your surprise, Ye Chuxue looks at you with confusion, unable to understand what you mean.]
[You offer no further explanation and turn to leave.]
[After returning to your Cave Mansion, you begin pondering Ye Chuxue's identity.]
[Through that test just now, you can confirm that she did not awaken during the Qi Refining Stage.]
[Since she did not awaken during the Qi Refining Stage, how could she, having only just awakened upon breaking through to Foundation Establishment, know so many secrets?]
[You believe Ye Chuxue's identity must be highly unusual. You decide to keep watch over her at all times and wait for the day she breaks through to Foundation Establishment.]
[In the second year, you discover that Ye Chuxue's cultivation has grown much deeper and that she will soon break through to Foundation Establishment.]
[Throughout the year, aside from watching Ye Chuxue, you constantly deduce cultivation arts in the Treasure Pavilion.]
[Using the cultivation art—Blazing Sun Finger—you successfully deduce a fragment of the Great Desolation Sky Prison Finger.]
[Every full-moon night, you pay especially close attention to Ye Chuxue's movements. Sure enough, on the full-moon night of August, you discover that she has gone to the Back Mountain.]
[Seeing this, you hurriedly follow her. Upon reaching the Back Mountain, you see her take out a Foundation Establishment Pill and prepare for one final push.]
[Before long, Ye Chuxue's aura grows stronger, and she successfully breaks through to Foundation Establishment.]
[Immediately afterward, you see three forces emerge from her body. One belongs to her, one belongs to the Sinister Worm, and the last is an extremely cold aura.]
[Ye Chuxue uses Taiyin Power to forcibly suppress the Sinister Worm within her body. When she opens her eyes, a mouthful of blood spurts from her lips.]
[At this moment, you notice that her gaze has changed. It has become far more weathered, as though she has learned every truth in an instant.]
[Seeing this, you are deeply puzzled!]
[Why is he and everyone else utterly bewildered upon awakening, while Ye Chuxue seems to know everything the moment she awakens?]
[You slowly step out from the darkness.]
[Ye Chuxue senses the movement and watches you warily. "Who's there?"]
[When your face appears before her, she remembers who you are.]
["It's you? So you're an Awakened One too?"]
["That's right, it's me. I saw a year ago that you would definitely awaken!"]
[Hearing your explanation, Ye Chuxue is somewhat shocked.]
["How did you know I would definitely awaken?"]
[Facing Ye Chuxue's questioning, you do not explain much. You only tell her that you saw she possessed a Taiyin Body, and those with such a physique could basically all awaken.]
[After hearing your explanation, Ye Chuxue nods and says nothing more.]
[Seeing that she does not ask about the Sinister Worm, you ask why she is not surprised.]
[After hesitating for a moment, Ye Chuxue explains that when she broke through to Foundation Establishment, her Taiyin Body awakened, and then she saw some memories.]
[Those memories belonged to the previous owner of the Taiyin Body, and they were filled with information about Sinister Worms.]
"So that's how it is!"
"No wonder a Foundation Establishment cultivator with no backing knew so many secrets."
Su Ming looked at Ye Chuxue's answer in the Simulator and nodded in sudden realization.
"The Taiyin Body... interesting."
It seemed that there should be quite a few similar Special Physiques in this Cultivation World.
Could it be that everyone with a special physique could awaken?
Or could only certain special physiques guarantee awakening one hundred percent of the time?
