With Cultivation Simulator in a Chaotic World-Chapter 172 - 170: Heading South

Sha Miaomiao’s figure became illusory and finally faded away in front of Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming sighed slightly, tidied up his clothes, glanced around, and then began to walk in a certain direction.

Mingwu City is located in the southern region of the Great Lii, while the Divine Capital is tens of millions of miles north of Mingwu City, very far away.

Jiang Ming could roughly guess what Sha Miaomiao had told him, most likely referring to what the Phoenix Spirits called Lady Mother.

Jiang Ming, dressed in a blue robe, let his black hair down loosely, then casually tied it back with a vine.

For all cultivators, the Divine Capital is a place they yearn for deeply. There, the world’s foremost legacies can be found, inexhaustible resources, and countless geniuses alongside celestial maidens.

Jiang Ming wasn’t very interested in the resources of the Great Lii’s cultivators. In the Capital Region, the mysterious becomes almost nonexistent, with only a few areas breeding these phenomena as training grounds for cultivators, not to mention Sha Miaomiao’s recent warning to Jiang Ming.

It seems now that there’s only one place suitable for Jiang Ming to venture to...

The Dali Border!

The border between the Great Lii and the Great Wilderness, where there are no ordinary people, and if there are, they are mere livestock for malevolent beings.

For any human, the border of the Great Lii is terrifying.

Countless mysteries, a lifeless sky, dark clouds casting shadows, tense nerves, sparse vitality...

But for Jiang Ming, there are endless Spirit Points and Simulation Points at the border.

He doesn’t need the cultivation resources of this world; he only needs Spirit Points and Simulation Points.

"Heading south." Jiang Ming quickly decided on his plan.

Evergreen City served as the initial place to gather information and establish an identity in this world, while Mingwu City offered multiple residences to protect himself while he was still vulnerable, allowing him to grow.

Now, with his wings fully spread, Jiang Ming no longer needed to remain stationed in the city for long.

Unfortunately, his previously clean identity was lost, but it didn’t matter much now; with True Spirit Divine Sense combined with cultivation techniques, changing his identity was not too difficult for Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming slowly walked into the forest, heading south...

............

"Bang—"

A crisp sound echoed as a bead, shrouded in layers of dark energy, flew out from the sandy mounds outside of Mingwu City.

A figure stood suspended in mid-air, reaching out a hand, and the bead slowly flew into it.

Beside him, a diminutive old man from Sea Suppression City lowered his head slightly, clearly the figure before him held a far superior status.

"Crack"

A sound of something shattering arose.

The bead began to emit light again, shining brightly.

A Phoenix Illusion leapt out from within the bead.

"Wu Ye!!!" A scream, filled with three parts resentment, resounded.

The eyes of the Mingwu Phoenix Spirit darted around.

Upon seeing the figure before her, there was a moment of pause.

"You have the aura of Lady Mother on you." Standing in front of the reversed Mingwu Phoenix Spirit was a handsome man with three trails of blue hair fluttering over his forehead.

"Greetings, Mingwu Phoenix Spirit, I kindly ask you to recount the events in detail."

The Phoenix Spirit quickly calmed down, recounting the events of her captivity one by one.

"A time of turmoil..."

"Ever since the attack on Sea Suppression City by the Inferior Buddha, strange occurrences have multiplied across the Great Lii..."

The blue-haired man subtly formed a seal with his fingers, faint starlight flickering within.

"The woman who slew Wu Ye and the Celestial Maiden... is already dead."

The small old man was startled, exclaiming, "Dead?"

"Yes, at least her presence is no longer in the Great Lii... Moreover, the situation in Mingwu City is more troublesome than I thought..."

"A small mouse escaped, taking the Supreme Treasure with it, and even I cannot determine the specifics..."

The blue-haired man’s brows furrowed slightly.

"I will return to the Capital Region shortly; the remaining issues here will be entirely up to Lord Ning."

The little old man immediately responded, "Naturally..."

........................

The night had grown dark; in an abandoned temple three thousand miles outside of Mingwu City.

A monk, cloaked in a somewhat tattered kasaya, holding his chest, entered the scene.

"Cough, cough." The monk coughed up two mouthfuls of blood.

Within the desolate temple, several eyes immediately glistened with greedy intentions as they looked at the monk.

The monk lowered his gaze, leaning weakly against the crumbling walls.

He released a streak of flowing light from his hand, causing the eyes in the darkness to disappear altogether.

The monk relaxed his grip, and several items fell from his chest.

A metallic orb filled with special runes, and over a dozen golden beads.

"Mingde, you still couldn’t defeat me..." Two glints of malice flashed in the monk’s eyes.

"Senior Brother is dead, Master is dead, and you are also dead; now, everything remaining is mine."

The monk looked at the items before him, his face suddenly flushed with excitement.

"Golden Relics, cough cough cough cough..."

"And, the Eye of Destiny..."

The bead before the monk abruptly split open, revealing a pupil, staring straight at him.

"Hahaha! The Divine Treasure, even higher realms, someday..."

"Immortality, invincibility..."

"Amitabha Buddha..."

The moonlight was bright and gentle, yet it could not penetrate the darkness within the abandoned temple...

Jiang Ming gazed at the moon. The sun and moon of the Great Lii were no different from his past life, with one sun and one moon, only the moon in the Great Lii was quite larger.

However, the more brilliant moonlight could not pierce through the darkness on the earth.

The storage bag at Jiang Ming’s waist gently swayed, and three Fire Dragons emerged from his chest, eyes instantly locking onto the lurking malevolent beings, transforming into three streams of flowing light.

They crossed three hills and two rivers.

In the mountains, traces of humanity finally appeared — some hunter’s traps and crude wooden cabins providing temporary rest for the hunters.

Jiang Ming paused slightly, the three Fire Dragons returned from the surroundings, merging into Jiang Ming’s chest.

No more malevolent beings remained nearby.

Jiang Ming looked ahead.

The corpse of a middle-aged man lay quietly in a mountain stream.

Faint sinister energy was converging on the man’s body.

If measures were not taken soon, this man would turn into a Black Monkey within two days.

Jiang Ming leaped forward, landing in the pitch-black mountain stream.

Resentment was gathering on the man’s body.

A faint blue light flickered in Jiang Ming’s eyes, allowing him to see a man’s soul wailing within the shell.

As if sensing Jiang Ming’s gaze, the man continuously kowtowed towards Jiang Ming, seemingly pleading.

Jiang Ming took a deep look at the man, as if embedding him into his mind, then waved his hand.

Flames rose, leaving no more resentment here. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"Rest in peace. In return, I will borrow your identity for a while."

Half of Jiang Ming’s face was hidden in darkness, his aura subtly transforming.

The transcendent aura of a cultivator was slowly dissipating.

Jiang Ming tilted his head slightly, the moonlight cast upon his face, revealing a simple, weathered visage of a middle-aged man upon Jiang Ming’s features.
