2: Don’t build a foundation!

"Dead?"

"How could he be perfectly fine and suddenly die?"

"He died right after achieving a Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment?"

Suddenly, Su Ming seemed to think of something.

"Foundation Establishment Pill?"

"Could it be that Foundation Establishment Pill?"

This was the only possibility he could think of.

Because everything had been fine before; it was right after taking the Foundation Establishment Pill and making a Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment that he lost consciousness.

Immediately after, he died.

What was even more suspicious was that the Elder had instructed them to consume the Foundation Establishment Pill right there to make a Breakthrough.

If it were the Foundation Establishment Pill, other Disciples who didn't win in the Sect Grand Competition would also purchase Foundation Establishment Pills from the Sect to take back and make a Breakthrough.

But only he died after making a Breakthrough here, so another possibility was that the Elder had set up a trap here to frame them.

Whether it was the former or the latter, he couldn't be certain for a moment.

[Ding! The simulation has ended. Please select from the following rewards.]

[Purple Talent: Innate Spiritual Body]

[This Simulation's Cultivation: Level Ten Qi Training]

[All Insights from This Simulation]

[One Foundation Establishment Pill!]

"I choose cultivation!"

Su Ming did not hesitate; he chose cultivation.

While an Innate Spiritual Body was certainly good, bringing out its full potential took far too long, making it far less direct than cultivation.

In an instant, Spiritual Qi entered his body, and his cultivation skyrocketed to Level Ten Qi Training, causing the bones throughout his body to crackle.

Su Ming twisted his neck, feeling the wave of comfort washing over his entire body.

Two hours ago, he was still a mere ant at Level One Qi Training, but now he was a Cultivation Genius at Level Ten Qi Training.

A fifteen-year-old at Level Ten Qi Training was an extremely rare existence across the entire Azure Cloud Sect.

Sitting cross-legged inside his Immortal Cave to stabilize his cultivation, he opened his eyes an hour later.

"Start the simulation!"

[Simulation begins!]

[Drawing a random talent!]

[Congratulations on acquiring the blue talent: Innate Wisdom Roots]

[Innate Wisdom Roots: Your Comprehension Ability has been greatly enhanced, allowing you to comprehend Cultivation Techniques much faster.]

[In the first year, due to losing the Innate Spiritual Body, your Cultivation speed was greatly discounted, remaining basically in a state of zero progress.]

[Fortunately, with the existence of Innate Wisdom Roots, you Cultivated various spells during this year.]

[During this year, when Wang Hao came looking for you to demand Spirit Stones, you decisively struck and killed him.]

[As someone at Level Ten Qi Training, almost no Outer Sect Disciple was your match.]

[You were not afraid of Wang Hao's older brother coming for revenge.]

[By the end of the first year, your Pyrokinesis reached Major Achievement!]

[In the second year, your Hydrokinesis reached Major Achievement!]

[In this year, a mysterious person claiming to be Wang Hao's older brother came to your Immortal Cave.]

[At Level Ten Qi Training, you sensed that the other party had only the cultivation of Level Nine Qi Training.]

[Just as the other party wanted to make a move, you decisively struck first to kill them.]

["I thought he was how strong, only mere Level Nine Qi Training!"]

[Looking at Wang Hao's older brother's corpse, you showed a disdainful expression.]

[In the third year, your Sword Control Technique reached Major Achievement!]

[In this year, the Sect Grand Competition opened once again. Having already become an Outer Sect Disciple, you chose not to participate.]

[Because you knew participating in the Grand Competition had no meaning; you would die after achieving a ranking.]

[If you didn't achieve a ranking, you couldn't obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill, so there was fundamentally no point.]

[In the fifth year, you Cultivated almost all the spells of the Outer Sect to Major Achievement.]

[After finishing Cultivating spells, you brought the Spirit Stones accumulated over five years to the Sect to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill.]

[After obtaining the Foundation Establishment Pill, you returned to your Immortal Cave and did not choose to consume it directly.]

[You knew that if you directly consumed the Foundation Establishment Pill at this moment, the ultimate result would only be failure.]

[Without the Innate Spiritual Body, your Foundation was unstable now, and rashly attempting a Breakthrough would certainly not succeed.]

[In the sixth year, to obtain more Spirit Stones, you accepted a Sect mission. This mission was to go to the Qin State in Qingzhou to exterminate Demonic Path Disciples.]

[The ten Qi Training Disciples from the Outer Sect who signed up for the mission followed the Inner Sect Foundation Establishment Senior Brother to head to the Qin State together.]

[After arriving in the Qin State, under the leadership of the Inner Sect Foundation Establishment Senior Brother, you successfully found the hideout of the Demonic Path Disciples.]

[Seeing that there were only two people in the Demonic Path hideout, you breathed a sigh of relief inwardly.]

[The Foundation Establishment Senior Brother had the ten of you besiege the injured Foundation Establishment Cultivator, while he dealt with the veiled woman in black.]

[After receiving the order, you all began launching attacks toward that injured Foundation Establishment Cultivator.]

[Even though the other party was heavily injured, he was still a Foundation Establishment Cultivator after all; no matter how many people you had, you were only at the Qi Refinement Stage.]

[Ultimately, under the circumstance where five Outer Sect Disciples died, you used the Sword Control Technique to successfully pierce his heart with a single strike.]

[Before his death, the Demonic Path Foundation Establishment Cultivator looked at you and several other Outer Sect Disciples with a gaze of pity and regret, and after leaving behind a single sentence, completely breathed his last.]

["Before waking up, absolutely do not Foundation Establishment!"]

[Just as you were still immersed in the other party's words, the Foundation Establishment Completion Stage Senior Brother by the side issued an order to you all.]

["Quick! Come over together and kill her!"]

[You looked towards the source of the sound and saw that the Foundation Establishment Completion Stage Senior Brother was covered in wounds at this moment, with not a single spot intact.]

[You couldn't believe that a Foundation Establishment Completion Stage Senior Brother was actually beaten by a Demonic Path Disciple who was also in the Foundation Establishment Realm to the point of having completely no power to fight back.]

[Just as you were charging to kill the Demonic Path woman, the other party directly ignored your attacks.]

[Her speed was extremely fast, passing directly through you all and charging straight to kill the Inner Sect Senior Brother.]

[After a single strike, the Foundation Establishment Completion Stage Inner Sect Senior Brother was already thoroughly dead.]

[Upon seeing this scene, all of you turned pale with fright, not expecting that even the Foundation Establishment Completion Stage Senior Brother was no match for the other party.]

[At this moment, you decisively chose to flee without the slightest hesitation.]

[You knew that the few of you could not defeat the other party.]

[Seeing you running away, the other few Outer Sect Disciples were stunned for a moment, and then all began fleeing in various directions.]

[What surprised you was that the Demonic Path woman seemed to ignore you, and after killing the Inner Sect Senior Brother, she did not choose to hunt you down.]

[You glanced back and happened to lock eyes with the Demonic Path woman, once again seeing a look of pity and regret in her eyes.]

[You really couldn't figure out why this scene happened.]

[Clearly they had already killed their strongest Foundation Establishment Completion Stage Cultivator, why would they choose to let off these people at the Qi Refinement Stage?]

[Moreover, the gazes that those Demonic Path Disciples gave them were also very strange.]

[At this time, you once again associated it with the words spoken by the killed Demonic Path Disciple before dying: "Before waking up, absolutely do not Foundation Establishment!"]

"Do Not Foundation Establishment?"

Looking at the words spoken by the Demonic Path Disciple in the simulator, Su Ming couldn't help but frown.

He did indeed die after Foundation Establishment in his previous simulation, but he deeply suspected that the Outer Sect Elder had tampered with the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Now it seemed that the truth was far from as simple as he had thought.

Soon, he cast his gaze back toward the simulator.
