'Ding. You currently have one simulation attempt. Begin simulation?'

'Begin simulation.'

'Day 1: You cultivated as usual.'

'Day 2: You cultivated as usual.'

...

'Day 971: You broke through to become a Dou Zhe, becoming the Jia Ma Empire's greatest genius. Your name spread throughout the Jia Ma Empire.'

'Day 992: Yun Yun, the current Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect, personally came to take you as her direct disciple, but you refused. Yun Yun left disappointed, but she said that the gates of the Misty Cloud Sect would always be open to you.'

'Day 1058: Jia Nan Academy came to Wutan City to recruit students. You passed the test and successfully entered Jia Nan Academy as an Outer Academy disciple. Several Inner Academy elders had long heard of you and came intending to take you as their disciple.'

'Day 1783: The Outer Academy assessment began. You were already a two-star Da Dou Shi and easily won your first match.'

'Day 1785: You entered the top eight. None of the other top-eight contestants wanted to face you.'

'Day 1786: You defeated your final opponent and took first place.'

'Day 1787: Hu Gan brought you and four others into the Scripture Repository to select cultivation methods and Dou Techniques. Inside, you obtained the Deep-tier Advanced movement Dou Technique, Sky-Treading Snow.'

'Day 2110: You broke through to become a Dou Ling.'

'Day 2130: You planned to venture into the Black-Corner Region for training.'

'Day 2161: After others discovered that you possessed great wealth, you were hunted down.'

'Day 2163: You had been pursued for three days. Unable to endure it any longer, you perished together with two Dou Ling experts.'

'This simulation has ended.'

'Selectable rewards from this simulation: the Deep-tier Advanced Dou Technique Wind's Extreme—Setting Sun Glory, the Deep-tier Advanced movement Dou Technique Sky-Treading Snow, one hundred gold coins.'

Xiao Jie silently looked at the three options before quietly choosing the Deep-tier Advanced movement Dou Technique, Sky-Treading Snow. The reason was simple: the Misty Cloud Sect's Dou Technique was unsuitable for his attributes, and its origin would be difficult to explain. As for the hundred gold coins, Xiao Jie ignored them outright.

Movement Dou Techniques could be learned regardless of one's attributes, just like flying Dou Techniques.

This simulation had been meant to confirm a suspicion in his heart. Before beginning it, Xiao Jie had wondered whether he should go to the Misty Cloud Sect. With his talent, there was a high chance that Yun Yun would take him as her disciple.

Therefore, Life Simulation likely simulated a life according to the user's thoughts at the start of the simulation. Xiao Jie could try out many different paths in life and choose the best one.

When the Simulator appeared, Xiao Jie had learned that a small portion of this world's origin power and fortune was attached to the Heavenly Flames that appeared within it. That was why the Heavenly Flames of this world seemed more precious and rare than strange treasures of other attributes. Aside from the Nihility Devouring Flame and the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, which were unique and could not have a second counterpart, other Heavenly Flames could appear in pairs or even in greater numbers.

To absorb this world's origin power and fortune, one had to devour Heavenly Flames, and that made the powerful cultivation method, the Flame Mantra, unavoidable.

As for how to obtain it, getting it from Yao Lao was probably unrealistic. Therefore, Xiao Jie could acquire it through the Simulator. As long as he controlled the direction of the Life Simulation, the Flame Mantra entry could appear, giving him a chance to draw it.

As for how he would explain the Flame Mantra's origin? Yao Lao had obtained it from ruins, so why couldn't Xiao Jie? Besides, by the time Yao Lao discovered it, Xiao Jie would probably no longer fear him and would not need to explain himself to anyone.

Having figured it out, Xiao Jie made his plan. His future simulations would focus on obtaining the Flame Mantra. At his current cultivation speed, he would reach the Dou Zhe realm within three years, so he had to obtain it within that time.

With that thought, he put away the movement technique scroll, rose to his feet, and left the room.
