Chapter 133: Little Peach has broken through to the Core Formation stage
[Year Twelve, Little Peach broke through to the Core Formation stage and came to report to you.]
[At first, you didn\'t pay much attention, only praising her a bit.]
[But when Little Peach mentioned she had achieved a Ten-Grade Golden Core, your heart finally stirred.]
[You hadn\'t expected her cultivation talent to be so strong.]
[Among the people you knew, only your father, Jiang Fushan, who was full of secrets, cultivated faster than her!]
[However, you quickly thought of a problem. Little Peach had always been cultivating at your base.]
[If she had achieved the Core Formation stage with a Ten-Grade Golden Core, why hadn\'t there been any celestial phenomena?]
[You clearly remembered that in previous simulations, whether it was you or your father Jiang Fushan, breaking through with a Ten-Grade Golden Core caused quite a commotion.][Could it be that those phenomena only appear in the Southern Regions?]
[You were somewhat puzzled!]
[You asked Little Peach if she had felt anything unusual during her breakthrough.]
[After some thought, Little Peach told you that she had originally intended to break through to the Core Formation stage with a Nine-Grade Golden Core!]
[However, during her breakthrough, she seemed to have had a dream.]
[In her dream, the heavens changed color, and all sorts of strange phenomena appeared!]
[When she woke up from the dream, she had already achieved a Ten-Grade Golden Core and successfully formed her core.]
[After listening to Little Peach\'s description, you muttered to yourself, "Phenomena in a dream?"]
[At that moment, it seemed you had thought of something!]
[The corners of your mouth lifted slightly, and you said faintly, "Interesting, this is getting more and more interesting!"]
[Could this really be a coincidence?]
[Your muttering left Little Peach somewhat confused, but you didn\'t explain it to her!]
[Afterward, you gave her some pills for cultivation and waved her away.]
[After she left, you pondered for a moment but didn\'t think further.]
[You felt that whether it was a coincidence or not, it was clearly not something that could be investigated in this simulation.]
[So, you continued to lower your head and cultivate.]
[However, the trace of cunning in your lowered gaze hinted at some unknown intention!]
In reality, Jiang Yifeng was eagerly awaiting when he saw the word "interesting."
He hoped that his absolutely rational self could come up with some reasoning.
But this was it?
You stopped thinking?
You went back to cultivating?
Jiang Yifeng slapped the table and cursed.
"Dammit, I hate riddlers the most!"
After taking a few deep breaths, he gradually calmed down.
He began to ponder what his absolutely rational self in the simulation had thought of!
Jiang Yifeng couldn\'t believe it.
Everyone has the same brain, who is better than whom?
Could he really not figure it out?
Jiang Yifeng rubbed his chin and began to recall the text displayed in the simulation.
He felt that the key phrase was: "Could this really be a coincidence?"
The meaning was clear; his simulated self didn\'t think it was a coincidence.
But what was it referring to?
Jiang Yifeng furrowed his brows and kept thinking.
As time passed, his brows gradually relaxed.
He thought of some possibilities.
His father, Jiang Fushan, was a prodigy, achieving a Ten-Grade Golden Core in just a few years during a previous simulation.
His maid, Little Peach, was also a peerless genius, achieving a Ten-Grade Golden Core in over a decade.
Such level of genius should be rare, perhaps once in a million years!
Why did two appear at once, and both were close to him?
This was too coincidental.
Was this the coincidence his simulated self was referring to?
Jiang Yifeng wasn\'t sure.
However, upon recalling the past, Jiang Yifeng indeed thought of a second possible coincidence.
That was, Little Peach achieving a Ten-Grade Golden Core proved she had the potential to become an immortal.
And her speed shouldn\'t be slow.
Moreover, during her core formation, there were no celestial phenomena, only phenomena in her dream.
Could she be the Lady in Red who crossed the tribulation to become an immortal in a previous simulation?
Jiang Yifeng thought this because he hadn\'t seen any celestial phenomena in the Southern Regions during that time.
Previously, he thought it was some old monster crossing the tribulation to become an immortal.
So, not seeing the Lady in Red\'s core formation phenomena was normal.
But now that he thought about it, it didn\'t make sense!
Because if there had been core formation phenomena, how did the Lady in Red escape the pursuit of the Immortal Arrival Sect?
Moreover, based on multiple previous simulations, once phenomena appeared, not only would the Immortal Arrival Sect pursue, but Old Li from Spine Mountain and others would also come to the rescue.
So, the Lady in Red should have become a member of Spine Mountain.
But, if the Lady in Red who crossed the tribulation to become an immortal was Little Peach?
She had phenomena in her dream, then everything made sense.
In an instant, Jiang Yifeng felt he understood everything.
He couldn\'t help but stare at the simulator, revealing a faint smile.
Muttering a few words to himself.
"Heh, riddler?"
"Think I can\'t figure it out?"
"Who do you think you\'re underestimating?"
After saying this, Jiang Yifeng felt refreshed!
So he continued to look at the simulator.
[Year Thirteen, some of the cultivators from Spine Mountain you sent out returned.]
[They brought back news that many companions had died outside, and some had betrayed and joined a sect called "Qingyang Sect."]
[Upon hearing this, you looked at these people with a half-smile.]
[You knew in your heart that these people must have considered joining that sect as well.]
[But clearly, they were rejected.]
[That sect didn\'t think much of them!]
[As for those who betrayed, you had already known before they returned.]
[After all, you sensed that the poisoned pills you planted had been neutralized.]
[You didn\'t have a good solution for this, as your alchemy skills weren\'t high.]
[However, it didn\'t matter, as you mainly needed these cultivators to help explore the map.]
[You didn\'t believe that all the people you controlled could find high-level alchemists to neutralize the poisoned pills.]
[For instance, those who were rejected still brought back the information you needed.]
[After inquiring, you learned that this sect was said to be a third-rate sect, with the strongest being the sect master at the Eighth Layer of Tribulation.]
[You nodded upon hearing this, having an idea in mind.]
[Since this sect\'s strongest person in the eyes of outsiders was at the Eighth Layer of Tribulation.]
[Then their true foundation must be more than that!]
[But it didn\'t matter, as their strongest on the surface was only at the Eighth Layer of Tribulation.]
[Even if their foundation was strong, you didn\'t think it would reach the Great Principal Golden Immortal level.]
[A month later, you led the cultivators from Spine Mountain and the mortals who followed from the Jiang Family Mansion, heading towards the Qingyang Sect.]
[Besides holding crossbows, each of those mortals carried several backpacks, the contents of which were unknown.]
