With Cultivation Simulator in a Chaotic World-Chapter 187 - 185: Sword Cultivator

Even without those powerful magic spells, Pei Min felt that he could take down those outstanding Qi Refining cultivators in Jiuzhou with just a sword.

Pei Min landed on the city wall.

His gaze fell on an old decaying body resting against the wall, and he sighed softly.

He could sense the distinct sword intent emanating from it.

It was Old Ning, the reclusive Sword Saint.

Pei Min, who had fought with Old Ning, knew that in order to make a breakthrough, Old Ning had integrated the Five Elements Technique into his sword intent, developing the Five Elements Sword Intent, hoping to layer five kinds of sword intents to break through his bottleneck.

And now, Pei Min could vaguely sense traces of the fusion of five kinds of sword intents on Old Ning.

Just now, Old Ning had bet everything; he had completely fused the Five Elements Sword Intent, blending the five elements into one...

Not to mention this kind of Five Elements Sword Intent, even any single sword intent previously displayed by Old Ning was enough to penetrate tranquility and condense True Essence.

The consolidation of Five Elements Sword Intent, purely from the level of Sword Dao, had already surpassed Pei Min’s threefold sword intent...

But...

He had no Spirit Root!

Even with an extraordinary Sword Dao talent, without a Spirit Root, it meant nothing...

"Make sure he is well buried."

Pei Min said lightly.

Surrounding him were rebels, the core of them in fact, but all of them instinctively lowered their heads and respectfully responded.

"Sword... Sword Immortal, sir... this is from Master, Master left it for you." A young man of about the same age as Pei Min plucked up the courage, stepped forward, and respectfully handed over a booklet.

Pei Min scrutinized the young man. His cultivation was solid, already at the Mid-Stage Acquired. His foundation in Sword Dao was well-established, with over 90% probability of becoming a Sword Saint in the future; he seemed to be Old Ning’s pride and joy as a disciple.

"Thank you." Pei Min accepted the booklet, Five Elements Sword Intent? Not bad either.

Pei Min flew into the city.

The young man swallowed, the brilliance in his eyes dimmed once more.

"Master..."

Pei Min arrived at the Pei Mansion.

The rebel leader, although ordinary in charisma, vision, and judgment, was nevertheless a smart man. When Pei Min became a Sword Immortal, that man hurriedly ordered his subordinates to cease their actions.

"Min’er... you..."

Pei Xiu seemed shocked.

Pei Min did not explain much. He said, "Father, Mother, today I have made further progress and become a Sword Immortal..."

"Sword Immortal?!" Pei Xiu was even more astonished and then laughed heartily: "As expected of my Min’er, a Sword Immortal? Our Pei Family actually produced a Sword Immortal."

"The Great Yu Dynasty is saved!"

But Pei Min interrupted him.

"Matters of this level are not something I can interfere with..."

"At this point, there’s only one plan..."

"What?"

"Break into parts to reform the heaven." Pei Min’s idea was simple: since those sword cultivators wanted the Mortal Dynasty to collapse, let it collapse.

The Imperial Court wielded the core power of the dynasty. It might be better to self-destruct, using the method of ’replacing the crown prince with a civet cat’ to package oneself as part of the Rebel Army.

When the time comes, I would defeat myself and establish a ’new’ dynasty.

Upon hearing this, Pei Min furrowed his eyebrows tightly, "Those officials won’t agree."

"If they don’t agree, let them go to hell."

"Everything follows Father’s will. If Father wants to support the Imperial Court, then help the royal family rebuild the realm; if not, our Pei Family can also try to sit on the throne."

Pei Xiu immediately shook his head.

Pei Min knew Pei Xiu’s temperament. Pei Xiu’s ambition was to become a high-ranking official and not to think about becoming an emperor.

"Everything depends on Father; the rebels outside can also be taken under Father’s command..."

"I fear I need to go out for further study, and this period of study might take quite some time..."

"Mm..." At this moment, Pei Xiu was filled with images of chaos in this world.

He had not thought about what ’quite some time’ meant in Pei Min’s words.

Pei Min sighed and flew away...

"Let’s go..."

"You are the most decisive person I’ve ever met..." a middle-aged man in blue said.

"It’s nothing... just... what exactly is a Sword Immortal... could you tell me about it..."

The middle-aged man in blue flew with Pei Min at a low altitude, while beginning to explain some common knowledge to Pei Min.

The middle-aged man was named Yuu Dingshan, an Outer Court Steward of the Golden Rainbow Academy.

And there was nothing special about being a cultivator; it’s called a sword cultivator.

All cultivators practiced Sword Dao without exception.

Even those involved in production needed to use Sword Dao as their foundation for cultivation.

Sword Dao has existed in the world for over ten thousand years. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Sword cultivators have evolved from the initial sects and Immortal Dynasties into countless academies today, and Sword Dao has been continuously strengthened by countless strong individuals.

The place where Pei Min resided, along with a dozen surrounding Mortal Dynasties, was known as the Wood Element Ding Domain.

These Mortal Dynasties were used to select A-Class seeds.

"A-Class seed?"

"Just a term the academies use for your kind..."

A Class refers to the top level.

Many academies scattered part of their lineage among the mortals, incorporating it into the Martial Dao.

To enter the Dao through martial arts, specifically through the sword, makes for the best sword practicing seed.

This kind of heritage did not delve too deeply into the realm of sword cultivators—it was just a foundation.

For instance, Visualization Image, Swordsmanship.

These two created Pei Min’s current True Essence, no, in this realm it’s called Sword Essence.

It’s like cultivating Gu, where only those who stand out from countless mortals qualify.

For example, those Sword Immortals Pei Min had previously heard of.

To achieve Sword Immortality with a mortal body through worldly heritage requires luck, Sword Dao talent, countless trials, and the most crucial... a Spirit Root...

A Sword Immortal achieved through such a path would be immediately recruited by surrounding academies, and this is exactly why these academies go to great lengths.

Any Sword Immortal achieved through this path undoubtedly possesses outstanding Sword Dao talent, Spirit Root aptitude, and has endured countless trials and life-and-death experiences.

Every Sword Immortal emerging from the mortal world is akin to a raw jade, with what they’ve learned being foundational, like a blank slate, allowing any sect to imprint their academy’s mark on them.

Even if some are older, academies are still willing to cultivate them.

As for someone like Pei Min... Becoming a Sword Immortal at sixteen... too rare...

Yuu Dingshan glanced at Pei Min, a trace of envy flashed deep in his eyes.

"So... were the sudden collapses of various dynasties due to you guys?"

"That’s right... To have an endless stream of Sword Saints requires a strong mortal Jianghu, but there can’t be a complete loss of order, otherwise mortals can’t thrive, which requires the power of Mortal Dynasties to maintain balance, and the might of Mortal Dynasties also interferes with Jianghu."

"According to our research, the period from chaos to the peak prosperity of Mortal Dynasties is when Jianghu is most active, and also when Sword Saints are more likely to appear..."

The increase in the number of Sword Saints signifies a greater likelihood of the emergence of Sword Immortals.
