With Cultivation Simulator in a Chaotic World-Chapter 268 - 239: Demon Venerable vs. Phoenix Spirit (Part 2)

Chapter 268: Chapter 239: Demon Venerable vs. Phoenix Spirit (Part 2)

Jiang Ming could feel Ouyang Yun’s calm state of mind.

There was even a hint of... schadenfreude?

"Do you wish to glimpse my past and karma? Or peer into my memory?"

The Phoenix Illusion’s eyes showed a slight distraction, and then a massive force surged into Ouyang Yun’s Sea of Consciousness, trying to probe his origin.

Even with just a strand of consciousness descending, it was not something Ouyang Yun could resist.

However...

"Boom——————"

A vast black aura whirled around Ouyang Yun.

A pitch-black Golden Core flew from Ouyang Yun’s mouth, spinning and rising continuously.

A massive presence descended upon the world, directly opposing the Phoenix Spirit.

The overwhelming power exploded in an instant, spreading in all directions, houses turning to dust, parts of the city wall collapsing. Luckily, due to the Moon Demon, there weren’t many people left in East City of Day River City.

"What?!"

The Phoenix Illusion let out a gasp of surprise.

"Seeking immortality, yet the Immortal Path is severed..."

An ancient voice echoed.

Ouyang Yun’s eyes suddenly turned hollow, and behind him a lonely figure slowly appeared.

"My Demon Blood... eternal and indestructible!!!"

A roar of defiance resounded.

A blade light cut through, slashing the Phoenix Illusion, shattering it in an instant.

Immortal Slayer!!!

"What?!" The last remnant of the Phoenix Illusion’s consciousness wanted to say something.

A sharp Sword Intent completely shattered it, the residual Sword Intent flew rapidly along the consciousness aura, exploding into the distance.

"I am unwilling, I am unwilling..."

"Revive... Revive..."

The wailing from ancient times gradually weakened.

The aura on Ouyang Yun fell to the lowest point, his hair gradually turned to ashen grey, much like when Ouyang Yun had exhausted the last of his lifespan to refine the Nascent Soul Pill. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

The power released by the Demon Venerable Fake Core was not akin to a rootless duckweed.

"But it doesn’t matter, to emerge once more into this world is not a bad thing."

"Jiang Ming, this world may be more complex than I imagined. Cultivate well."

Ouyang Yun’s body gradually became illusory, and after a few breaths, along with the unstable Fake Core, completely dissipated.

Jiang Ming slowly exhaled a murky breath.

The back of his hand emitted a scorching aura again, surprisingly absorbing the power of the shattered Phoenix Spirit, making the Soul-controlling Phoenix Spirit Mark even stronger.

Beside him, Gong Xian had her eyes wide open, looking somewhat dazed.

The battle between the Demon Venerable and the Phoenix once again refreshed Gong Xian’s worldview.

In such a short time, her worldview had been swiftly refreshed, and yet Gong Xian did not go mad, showing that her mind was incredibly resilient.

The night around them gradually grew silent.

Without the flames, the places in East City that once had light were destroyed, leaving the entire East City in darkness and cold, with even a piece of the city wall collapsed, exposing the endless darkness outside.

Fortunately, just now, with the battle of powerful beings, the outside evil spirits were said to have entered the city, but the specter had fled miles away out of fear of being devoured by the strong ones.

"Cold, darkness, that is the main theme of this world."

Jiang Ming slowly said.

Jiang Ming opened his hands, looking down, and said softly.

"Only power... can ensure freedom."

Jiang Ming’s eyes turned to Gong Xian.

Then Jiang Ming softly said, "Girl, do you crave power?"

In this world, there is no hatred without reason, nor love without cause.

Jiang Ming brought Gong Xian by his side, not only because there was some bond between them, but also because she was pleasing to his eye.

Jiang Ming grabbed Gong Xian’s wrist, true essence flowed into it.

A faint light flickered in Jiang Ming’s eyes.

"Water and Fire Dual Spirit Roots, a special physique with no attribute bias... an excellent Cultivation Seedling..."

This was Gong Xian’s physique and talent.

In the Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm, it was extremely rare, almost one in millions, a celestial maiden’s physique.

But in the Great Lii, she was merely one among the masses, almost being used as blood food.

Of course, this physique and talent gave Gong Xian certain advantages, like making her meridians more resilient, improving her comprehension, enabling her to make some progress in Martial Dao.

But Martial Dao tapped less than a ten-thousandth of Gong Xian’s potential and talent.

In Jiang Ming’s view, it was a waste of talent.

For Jiang Ming now, whose spirit root talent was that of Four Spirit Roots!

Having encountered this, why not conduct an experiment beforehand.

To see... if the Path of Cultivation can take root and blossom without the intervention of a simulator.

Developing the Path of Cultivation in the Great Lii was not Jiang Ming being idle with nothing better to do.

First, it was Jiang Ming’s ambition to change this world once he became strong enough.

Second, it was precautionary, to prepare for the simulator’s disappearance, he couldn’t rely solely on the simulator, or else if it vanished one day, Jiang Ming would only meet death.

Of course, these were all things Jiang Ming did casually.

His main focus now was still to collect Simulation Points and Spirit Points, to make himself stronger.

Gong Xian felt dizzy.

Her mind flashed with various things taught by the Martial Arts Instructor...

Adventures, inheritances, opportunities...

She hadn’t expected such a day would arrive for her.

Although Gong Xian felt somewhat dazed, receiving so much information today, she hadn’t lost her sanity.

Immediately bowing deeply to Jiang Ming.

"Greetings, Master!" The person before was one that could make even Immortal Masters tremble, and he was closely connected to the divine battle just witnessed.

Gong Xian bowed even lower, her eyes full of respect and joy.

Jiang Ming smiled.

He looked towards the base of the city wall, where there were sparse torches lit.

Those were the surviving Night Watchers searching for other survivors.

"Before that, one more to take in..."

To verify if the Path of Cultivation can flourish alongside the Heart Lamp Dao...

Below, Bo Qingtian’s face still carried a look of shock, seemingly sensing the gaze, and blankly looked up.

Though distant, those bright eyes were distinctly clear...

......

"In ancient times, cultivators used their Spirit Roots as a foundation, channeling Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, supplemented by the power of Tai Chi Five Elements and Yin Yang Bagua, with Outer Body Cultivation, Inner Primordial Spirit Refinement, a group known as cultivators explored the universe, leaving countless Cultivation Techniques..."

"Calling the wind and summoning the rain, shifting mountains and filling seas, Star-Plucking Moon-Moving, until traversing the Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation, Breaking the Void, becoming Immortals who live as long as heaven and earth..."

On a barren mountain, Jiang Ming stood with hands clasped, slowly speaking.

The young man and woman listened earnestly, absorbing every word Jiang Ming said.

Jiang Ming detailed the origins of cultivation.

Of course, here Jiang Ming portrayed cultivation as remnants of techniques from the Ancient Times.

The two youngsters genuinely believed cultivators were powerful beings buried under the dust of history.

Indeed, cultivators existed, but not in this world.

Seeing their earnest and eager gaze, Jiang Ming hesitated slightly before tossing down a few secret manuals and a Jade Pendant.

"Practice by absorbing spiritual qi to isolate the black particles, cultivate diligently."

Jiang Ming didn’t have the heart to let them try cultivating by absorbing black particles, perhaps because both had good character and exceptional talent, earning Jiang Ming’s approval.

The techniques Jiang Ming bestowed included initial methods to isolate the black particles, at the cost of slower cultivation, but offset by their talent, it was at least faster than Zhu Chen.

"Once you have developed Divine Sense, you can learn what’s inside the Jade Pendant. Do not reveal this to outsiders, not even to your family."

Jiang Ming’s eyes focused, fingers moving slightly, true essence and Divine Sense imbued into these items.

If any incident occurred, these items would vanish along with the two of them.

"Given the situation, I should also take my leave..."

The two exchanged glances, hastily asking, "Master, where are you going?"

"To the south, the border... come find me once you’ve achieved in your cultivation..."
