With Cultivation Simulator in a Chaotic World-Chapter 181 - 179: Graduation

Pei Min sat in his small room, in front of him were three Visualization Images.

One depicted a mountain peak piercing the sky.

Another showed a military array with everyone raising their longswords.

The third was a painting of dawn breaking.

Without exception, Pei Min could sense a faint Sword Intent emanating from them, continually impacting his mind and planting seeds within his heart.

"Next... I will claim all the inheritances..."

Pei Min took out a letter.

"To my son, open personally..."

Pei Min absorbed all the information into his mind.

"County Captain of Ange County..."

Pei Xiu was promoted to County Captain, which made him the second-in-command of a county, controlling military affairs.

However, Pei Min could sense Pei Xiu’s struggles.

A County Captain is a Military Officer, and Pei Xiu knew only a few techniques for strengthening the body, so this transition from literature to martial arts was the best path for him to progress.

"As it is today, I shall offer my father a modest gift..."

[Celestial Sword Calendar Nine Thousand Seven Hundred and Nineteenth Year, November, Heavy snow falls, you enter the mountains with only a sword...]

A group of formidable mountain bandits occupied the northern region of Ange County, taking advantage of the terrain to resist the Imperial Court, posing a constant headache for every Prefectural Governor of Ange County.

[November 3rd, you breached Black Tiger Village, slaying its leader, the Mid-Stage Acquired Black Tiger.]

[November 4th, you overran Qianfeng Village, slaying three Mid-Stage Acquired individuals.]

[November 6th, you consecutively conquered eleven villages of Jun He Lianzi, slicing down eleven Great Village Chiefs, the Late-Stage Acquired known as Water Dragon, White Wave.]

.........

[November 17th, you had destroyed seventy-two villages, demolishing the notorious bandit dens in the northern mountains of Ange County.]

[November 18th, you slew the fleeing overall master of the seventy-two villages, the Acquired Peak formidable Xiong Kuangfeng.]

[You presented this as a gift to Pei Xiu for his fortieth birthday.]

[After the people in the County City learned of this, none could help but dread the Pei Family, and they were profoundly curious about the legendary Qilin Child of the Pei Family.]

[You didn’t immediately return to the Northern Land.]

[December 3rd, you consumed a great elixir, your Qi-Blood broke through, successfully reaching the Late-Stage Acquired Stage.]

[December 6th, you went to Celestial Mountain alone with a sword, then slew the Innate Martial Artist, the Celestial Mountain Old Monster, and comprehended Sword Intent.]

"Slash!"

Pei Min’s longsword stabbed at an odd angle toward a strange old man covered entirely with white hair in front of him. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Young one courting death!"

A claw-like hand reached for Pei Min’s head first.

Suddenly, a glimmer appeared in Pei Min’s eyes, and a layer of faint white light manifested on his longsword, sparkling.

In the next second, the old man’s head flew off.

"The Sword Intent... is complete." Pei Min, exhausted, knelt on one knee, gasping heavily, yet a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The treasured sword in his hand, stained with blood, shimmered with a faint pure white light.

[Your Sword Intent is very pure, you named it Pure Essence Sword Intent.]

[December 16th, you returned to the Northern Land.]

[You handed over the head of a killed bandit as a task submission, Lum Changfeng sensed your Sword Dao skills from it, subjecting you to further tests.]

[You successfully became Lum Changfeng’s apprentice. Lum Changfeng taught you sincerely, granting you his core inheritance.]

[You learned that there indeed exists a realm above the Sword Saint.]

The Sword Saint and Martial Arts Grandmaster, or Innate Realm, are the same level; however, only those who comprehend Sword Intent can be called Sword Saints.

Yet Sword Intent in Jianghu is an elusive thing, existing in the mind and difficult to cultivate.

As a result, there are many Martial Arts Grandmasters but few Sword Saints.

Nonetheless, Sword Saints can dominate the Innate Realm.

Jiang Ming carefully studied the golden characters, feeling a slight enhancement in Sword Intent.

Jiang Ming had seen Sword Intent before; Li Jin had once cultivated Heaven-cutting Sword Intent.

The Heaven-cutting Sword Intent was incredibly strong, an important method for Li Jin to contend with cultivators as a Martial Artist; Sword Intent originates from the heart but can slash through anything.

Li Jin spent his lifetime cultivating the Heaven-cutting Sword Intent, yet here Pei Min cultivated the Pure Essence Sword Intent in just over a year.

Jiang Ming couldn’t help but feel the cost justified.

Moreover, Pei Min had not yet embarked on the path of cultivation or activated his physique; this was merely a result of his talent in swordsmanship.

In the Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm, cultivating Sword Intent before Foundation Establishment qualifies one to become a Sword Cultivator.

Yet in this place, must one cultivate Sword Intent before embarking on cultivation...

Jiang Ming contemplated the implications.

"But for me, it couldn’t be more fitting..."

A gleam flashed in Jiang Ming’s eyes.

[Celestial Sword Calendar Nine Thousand Seven Hundred and Twentieth Year, you dedicated yourself to cultivation, pushing your Qi and Blood to the Acquired Peak.]

[You mastered the Cyan Cloud Sword Technique, Nine Curves Sword Technique, Changfeng Swordsmanship... and another eighteen sword techniques.]

[Three months later, your mastery of the eighteen sword techniques reached Mastery, which you used to refine and perfect your Sword Dao.]

[You perfected Shadow Sword and Broken Sword, and created two new forms, Annihilation Sword and Return Sword.]

[Celestial Sword Calendar Nine Thousand Seven Hundred and Twentieth Year, July, you obtained a new Visualization Image, the Cloud-Breaking Flying Sword Map.]

The new Visualization Image depicted a flying sword, piercing the clouds.

It seemed to depict an imagined Sword Cultivator.

Pei Min furrowed his brows.

For the Cloud-Breaking Flying Sword Map was one of Lum Changfeng’s true specialties.

Lum Changfeng became invincible in the Northern Land using the Cloud-Exploring Eighteen Swords, earning the title of Northern Sword King.

"This flying sword..." Pei Min sensed a different aura from the flying sword.

"Sword Cultivator, huh..."

[Celestial Sword Calendar Nine Thousand Seven Hundred and Twenty-first Year, you sat atop a high mountain observing dawn’s break, successfully comprehending a new Sword Intent, the Cloud-Breaking Sword Intent.]

[Three months later, you displayed your cultivation to Lum Changfeng, who remained silent for a long time, thinking he was still dreaming.]

[Lum Changfeng provided you with the rest of his heritage.]

[You meditated on techniques in the Northern Land, acquiring the remaining two Visualization Images, supplementing your Cloud-Breaking Sword Intent.]

[You sparred with Lum Changfeng in secret, narrowly losing by one move.]

[Lum Changfeng sighed at how his decades of cultivation could not match a child’s three years, fate is capricious, though only you knew you could defeat Lum Changfeng.]

[You began to return to your family, collecting sword manuals along the way, studying various schools to enrich yourself.]

"Young master, the young master has returned!"

With a sword in his arms, Pei Min, clad in flowing white garments, appeared.

Having studied for three years, Pei Min was only eleven years old, yet due to his Martial Dao training, he was physically similar to a youth of fifteen or sixteen.

Had it not been for the old steward of the Pei family who watched Pei Min grow up, no one could have linked this heroic young figure with the chubby, richly dressed child from three years ago.

"Young master, the master has been waiting for a long time."
