Dead?

How had he died when he had been perfectly fine?

He had just broken through to Foundation Establishment, and then he died?

Suddenly, Su Ming seemed to realize something.

The Foundation Establishment Pill?

Was it that Foundation Establishment Pill?

It was the only possibility he could think of.

Everything had been fine before. It was only after he took the Foundation Establishment Pill and broke through to Foundation Establishment that he lost consciousness.

And then he died.

Even more suspiciously, the Elder had instructed them to consume the Foundation Establishment Pill there and break through.

If it was the Foundation Establishment Pill, then other disciples who had not won the Sect Grand Competition would also buy Foundation Establishment Pills from the sect and take them back to break through.

Yet only he had died after breaking through here. So there was another possibility: the Elder had set a trap here to harm them.

For the moment, he could not determine which it was.

[Ding! Simulation complete. Please choose one of the following rewards.] [Purple Talent: Innate Spirit Body] [This simulation's cultivation: Qi Refining Tenth Layer] [All insights from this simulation] [One Foundation Establishment Pill!]

"I choose cultivation!"

Su Ming did not hesitate. He chose cultivation.

The Innate Spirit Body was certainly good, but it would take far too long for its full effects to show. Cultivation was much more immediate.

In an instant, spiritual energy poured into his body. His cultivation surged to the Qi Refining Tenth Layer, and his bones crackled and popped throughout his body.

Su Ming twisted his neck, savoring the comfort flowing through every part of him.

Two hours ago, he had been an ant at the Qi Refining First Layer. Now, he was a cultivation genius at the Qi Refining Tenth Layer.

At fifteen, reaching the Qi Refining Tenth Layer made him a rare phoenix feather and qilin horn even in the entire Qingyun Sect.

After sitting cross-legged in the Cave Mansion to stabilize his cultivation, he opened his eyes an hour later.

"Begin simulation!"

[Simulation begins!] [Drawing a random talent!] [Congratulations, you have obtained Blue Talent: Innate Wisdom Root] [Innate Wisdom Root: Your comprehension has greatly improved, allowing you to comprehend cultivation techniques faster.] [Year One: Having lost the Innate Spirit Body, your cultivation speed was greatly reduced. You made virtually no progress.] [Fortunately, you possessed the Innate Wisdom Root. This year, you cultivated various techniques.] [This year, when Wang Hao came to demand spirit stones from you, you decisively struck and killed him.] [At the Qi Refining Tenth Layer, you had almost no rivals among the Outer Disciples.] [You were not afraid of Wang Hao's brother coming for revenge.] [At the end of Year One, your Fire Control Technique reached great mastery!] [Year Two: Your Water Control Technique reached great mastery!] [This year, a mysterious man claiming to be Wang Hao's brother came to your Cave Mansion.] [At the Qi Refining Tenth Layer, you sensed that he was only at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer.] [Just as he was about to strike, you decisively struck first and killed him.] ["I thought you were so strong. You're only at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer!"] [You looked at Wang Hao's brother's corpse and revealed a disdainful expression.] [Year Three: Your Sword Control Technique reached great mastery!] [This year, the Sect Grand Competition began once more. Having become an Outer Disciple, you chose not to participate.] [Because you knew there was no point in participating. Once you obtained a ranking, you would die.] [If you failed to obtain a ranking, you would not receive a Foundation Establishment Pill, so there was no point at all.] [Year Five: You cultivated nearly every technique in the Outer Sect to great mastery.] [After finishing your cultivation of techniques, you took the spirit stones you had accumulated over five years and exchanged them at the sect for a Foundation Establishment Pill.] [After obtaining the Foundation Establishment Pill, you returned to your Cave Mansion but did not choose to consume it immediately.] [You knew that if you directly consumed the Foundation Establishment Pill now, the only outcome would be failure.] [Without the Innate Spirit Body, your foundation was unstable. Rashly attempting a breakthrough would certainly not succeed.] [Year Six: To obtain more spirit stones, you accepted a sect mission to travel to the Qin Kingdom in Qingzhou and wipe out Demonic Cult disciples.] [The ten Qi Refining disciples from the Outer Sect who signed up for the mission followed an inner sect Foundation Establishment senior brother to the Qin Kingdom.] [After arriving in the Qin Kingdom, under the guidance of the inner sect Foundation Establishment senior brother, you successfully found the Demonic Cult disciples' hideout.] [When you saw that there were only two people in the Demonic Cult hideout, you breathed a sigh of relief.] [The Foundation Establishment senior brother ordered the ten of you to surround and attack the injured Foundation Establishment cultivator, while he dealt with the black-clad woman whose face was veiled in gauze.] [Upon receiving the order, you began attacking the injured Foundation Establishment cultivator.] [Though he was severely injured, he was still a Foundation Establishment cultivator. No matter how many of you there were, you were merely in the Qi Refining Stage.] [In the end, after five Outer Disciples died, you used the Sword Control Technique to pierce his heart in a single strike.] [Before dying, the Demonic Cult Foundation Establishment cultivator looked at you and the other Outer Disciples with regret in his eyes. After leaving behind one sentence, he breathed his last.] ["Before you awaken, never establish your foundation!"] [Just as you were still immersed in his words, the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection senior brother beside you gave an order.] ["Quick! Come over and kill her together!"] [You looked toward the voice and saw that the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection senior brother was covered in wounds, with not a single part of him intact.] [You could not believe that a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection senior brother had been beaten so badly by a Demonic Cult disciple at the same Foundation Establishment Realm that he could not fight back at all.] [Just as you rushed toward the Demonic Cult woman, she directly ignored your attacks.] [She was extremely fast. She passed straight through you and charged directly at the inner sect senior brother.] [After one strike, the inner sect senior brother at Foundation Establishment Great Perfection was dead beyond doubt.] [At this sight, all of you were horrified. You had never expected that even the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection senior brother was no match for her.] [At that moment, you naturally chose to flee without the slightest hesitation.] [You knew that the few of you could not defeat her.] [When the other Outer Disciples saw you fleeing, they first froze, then began scattering in every direction.] [To your surprise, the Demonic Cult woman seemed to ignore you. After killing the inner sect senior brother, she did not choose to pursue you.] [You glanced back and happened to meet the Demonic Cult woman's gaze. Once again, you saw pity and regret in her eyes.] [You truly could not understand why.] [She had clearly already killed their strongest Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator. Why would she spare Qi Refining Stage cultivators like you?] [Moreover, the way those Demonic Cult disciples looked at you was strange as well.] [At this moment, you once again recalled the words spoken by the Demonic Cult disciple you had killed before his death: Before you awaken, never establish your foundation!]

"Don't establish foundation?"

Su Ming frowned as he looked at the words spoken by the Demonic Cult disciple in the Simulator.

In his previous simulation, he had indeed died after establishing foundation. But he had strongly suspected that the Outer Sect Elder had tampered with the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Now, it seemed the truth was far more complicated than he had imagined.

Soon, he turned his gaze back to the Simulator.
