Terrifying Black Shadow

Regaining his composure, Xiao Jie put away the scroll containing the Heaven-Burning Fist and prepared to continue the life simulation. He wanted to use up his remaining two attempts today to see what he could obtain.

"Simulator, continue the life simulation."

"Ding, current available simulation count is two. Proceed with life simulation?"

"Yes."

"Ding, life simulation begins."

"Day 1: You successfully refine the Green Lotus and break through to become a peak two-star Dou Emperor."

"Day 3: You take Xiao Yi Xian to the cave in the Magical Beast Mountain Range and obtain the remnant map of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame."

"Day 10: You arrive at Shi-Mo City and take Qing Lin to search for the Green Lotus Core Flame."

"Day 25: You successfully refine the second Green Lotus Core Flame and reach the five-star Dou Emperor level."

"Day 30: You wait for the two Dou Emperors from the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, hand Qing Lin over to them, and head toward the Southeast Continent alone."

"Day 113: You arrive at Guiyuan City in the Southeast Continent, settle down temporarily, and take the opportunity to gather information."

"Day 632: You spread the word in Guiyuan City that you can refine tier 6 medicinal pills, provided the alchemist's rules are followed. Afterward, people seeking pills come in an endless stream."

"Day 1341: You successfully refine the first tier 7 intermediate pill, the Primordial Blood Spirit Pill. The phenomenon caused by the pill's formation shocks the entire city."

"Day 2150: With the help of the Ancestor-Breaking Pill, you break through to become a one-star Dou Ancestor. At the same time, a servant comes to report news of a Heavenly Flame, and you depart immediately."

"Day 2170: You travel with one Dou Ancestor and six Dou Emperors to the seabed where the Fire Cloud Water Flame has appeared."

"Day 2175: You discover this Heavenly Flame deep on the seabed. The Fire Cloud Water Flame only forms within submarine volcanoes; a combination of water and fire, it is tempered by volcanic activity and deep-sea currents. It takes a hundred years to form and a thousand years to gain sentience. When it forms, a funnel-shaped pillar of energy light appears in the sky, reaching down to the seabed. The Fire Cloud Water Flame itself resembles a two-colored cloud, with red and blue energies constantly swirling within, appearing very agile and magnificent."

"Day 2214: You successfully refine the Fire Cloud Water Flame, ranked sixteenth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, and your cultivation breaks through from a one-star Dou Ancestor to a peak three-star Dou Ancestor."

"Day 2782: You break through to a six-star Dou Ancestor and begin refining the peak tier 7 pill, the Ancestor Origin Pill. This pill can increase a Dou Ancestor's cultivation by one star level."

"Day 2790: You successfully refine the Ancestor Origin Pill. The pill formation phenomenon draws numerous Dou Ancestors and Dou Emperors to watch. Upon learning that your Ancestor Origin Pill can allow a Dou Ancestor to break through a star level, the Dou Ancestors present become even more enthusiastic, one after another requesting your help to refine the pill, and you agree to each one."

"Day 3365: You are now an eight-star Dou Ancestor. You plan to head to a distant island, where a heavenly treasure that could allow you to break through to the Spirit Realm soul seems to exist."

"Day 3371: While crossing the ocean to that island, you are attacked by a magical beast of the sea. It is a rank 8 Sea-Calling Flood Serpent. This beast possesses dragon bloodline; upon reaching adulthood, it can reach the Dou Venerate level, and if it has the opportunity, it can evolve into a rank 9 beast like the Sea-Calling Dragon Flood."

"Day 3372: You did not expect that a male and a female Sea-Calling Flood Serpent would be laying eggs here at the same time. They pursue you relentlessly. Dealing with one rank 8 beast was already strenuous; now that two are hunting you simultaneously, you realize the situation is becoming increasingly dangerous. If you don't leave the sea, you might lose your life here. You immediately activate the Heavenly Fire Three-Mysterious Transformation, surging from an eight-star Dou Ancestor to a five-star Dou Venerate. You battle the two rank 8 Sea-Calling Flood Serpents for a day and a night, fighting all the way into the deep-sea region."

"Suddenly, the two Sea-Calling Flood Serpents seem to sense something and turn to flee. In your own perception, an extremely terrifying aura instantly rushes toward you from the deep seabed at high speed. You execute the Lightning Flash Thunder Sound, rapidly transforming into a streak of purple light in an attempt to escape. A massive shadow appears beneath your feet; you are as tiny as an ant before this shadow. The seawater suddenly begins to form a massive vortex, and you find that you cannot break through this terrifying suction force no matter what. You exhaust all your means, but cannot interrupt this pull. You watch as the two Sea-Calling Flood Serpents are sucked into the shadow without resistance. Having fought for a day and a night, you gradually begin to reach your limit. A quarter of an hour later, your Dou Qi is exhausted, and you fall from the sky into the vortex. You die."

"Ding, this simulation has ended."

"Current selectable items: Primordial Blood Spirit Pill, Ancestor Origin Pill, rank 8 Sea-Calling Flood Serpent magic core."

"Please choose."

"Choose rank 8 Sea-Calling Flood Serpent magic core."

"Ding, selection successful, please collect."

Casually putting this rank 8 magic core into his storage ring, he thought to himself.

The direction of this simulation was to head to the Southeast Continent to see if I could find the specific location of that Fire Cloud Water Flame. Now I finally have a clue. The information this time was quite a gain, but dying at the end in that terrifying shadow is truly chilling. Two rank 8 Sea-Calling Flood Serpents were sucked in without any resistance, and I couldn't escape death either. It seems there is a great terror in the deep sea. I shouldn't go to such places without being a high-level Dou Saint; it's too dangerous. I didn't even know what kind of thing I died in the mouth of.

There was one last simulation attempt left. He decided to eat something first before continuing. He would think about which direction to simulate next, so he went to catch a wild deer and roasted it over a fire.
