Food System in Cultivation World-Chapter 381 - 368
Half an hour later, Chen Xu and Ding Chuan left the chaotic forest where the trees had fallen.
Before Ding Chuan left, he gritted his teeth and took a Fierce Fire Talisman out from his chest.
He used the Fierce Fire Talisman to burn Zhang Ming’s body directly to ashes, looted him, and destroyed the evidence.
Even as he acted, Ding Chuan’s face still showed a hint of sadness.
He spoke to Chen Xu in a low and confused voice, "Senior, I don’t even know where to go now..."
At that time, Chen Xu was still flipping through "Travel Notes of the Immortal Tao in Jizhou".
It mentioned many common notions of this world, which Ding Chuan had never cared about when he read it, but Chen Xu only found every detail enlightening.
For example, a mural left a dated signature: Star Xuan Calendar Year 13,000.
But this was not the actual chronological history recorded in this world.
Originally, before the Star Xuan Calendar, there was the Primordial Calendar, the Chaos Yuan Calendar, the Spiritual Ruins Calendar...
The "Travel Notes" vaguely mentioned: Primordial Calendar of a million years.
The rest of the Chaos Yuan Calendar and Spiritual Ruins Calendar were not detailed.
Chen Xu didn’t even know which chronicle was more ancient.
Yet, regardless of the old calendars, just looking at the names of these four immortal calendars conveys an overwhelming sense of antiquity.
It’s unimaginable what a world might develop into over such a long span of time.
Strangely, from certain aspects of Ding Chuan’s behavior, this world seemed still "primitive", full of survival of the fittest with strange rules.
Yet from Ancestor Xinghui’s perspective, the world he saw was completely different.
The "Travel Notes" says: "I rode the Cloud Ship from Kunlun Mirror Sea to Jizhou, the ship towered thirty-two stories high, though I lived in the topmost floor, I was still occasionally troubled by noise.
The Cloud Ship sailed a hundred thousand miles, stopping at various ports, a total of three days."
A hundred thousand-mile journey, taking only three days aboard the Cloud Ship, this was Ancestor Xinghui’s world!
But what if one did not take the Cloud Ship and instead used magic to fly?
About this, Ancestor Xinghui also left a note: "If I traverse the void realm, I can cross a hundred thousand miles in a quarter of an hour. Yet it is dull..."
Well then, while others in the Tribulation Phase find it dull.
A hundred thousand miles in a quarter hour—how does that differ from the speed of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven’s Somersault Cloud?
Yet, such a powerful Xinghui Ancestor, he was not "immortal".
He claimed: "As a little cultivator, I am often ill, burdened with disasters, what can I do?"
In the Tribulation Phase, yet he always calls himself a little cultivator. Chen Xu too could not imagine how great a height must be reached to make someone like Ancestor Xinghui call himself a little cultivator?
He mentioned being "often ill" again, which was strange too.
Reaching their level, how could they fall ill so easily?
Even if they fell ill, shouldn’t it be called decay tribulation or way erosion?
But Chen Xu was so far from that realm that he could only imagine idly, and he would sound ridiculous speculating on a person of such high status as an ant might.
Thus, the more Chen Xu read the travel notes, the more he felt a sense of "beholding the infinite universe, feeling one’s own insignificance."
According to the "Travel Notes", besides the astonishingly fast Cloud Ships that traverse and connect the thirteen major supreme sects, some of them have even established long-distance teleportation arrays between their Immortal Cities!
Yes, the kind that can instantly transport a person across a hundred thousand, even a million miles.
Just that the cost of using these teleportation arrays is extremely high, and so are the fees, thus only a small handful can afford to use them.
As for the Disaster Gates, Chen Xu finally got an answer in the "Travel Notes".
Unexpectedly, one cycle of the Star Xuan Calendar would give birth to ten thousand Disaster Gates.
The Disaster Gates vary in size and usually appear in large cities where people gather.
Therefore, many Immortal Cities were established for the very purpose of guarding the Disaster Gates.
It’s said that on the other side of the Disaster Gates lie endless demons.
These demons are born and destroyed at every moment.
Such demons are clearly quite different from the demon spirits Chen Xu saw in the Great Li Kingdom. Xinghui Ancestor described them succinctly:
"Though intelligent, they lack spirit, possessing only a demonic nature of slaughter, destroying everything."
Even Xinghui Ancestor mentioned their capacity for destruction, one could only imagine the terrifying disaster if these Disaster Gates opened completely in the whole Tianxuan Star Realm.
But no worries, there are plenty of cultivators in this world.
Slaying demons inside the Disaster Gates yields various demonic treasures, which in turn aids cultivators in their training.
This way, despite the overwhelming number of Disaster Gates, they might even be insufficient for the countless cultivators, like stars in the cosmos, to divide among themselves.
The transactions in this world are also quite prosperous.
The six arts of immortal cultivation, pills, tools, talismans, arrays, and so on, are immensely developed.
Chen Xu repeatedly flipped through the thin volume of "Travel Notes", each time revealing new information through its details.
Ding Chuan said this "Travel Notes" is indeed worth a lot, a statement proving true.
Furthermore, there is an extremely unique category of cultivation in this realm, which is Spirit Chef!
Evidently, because the realm has undergone several cycles of disaster and rebirth, now, the Nine Nether Calamity Toxins are omnipresent.
All living beings slain by anyone possessing Magic Power Cultivation would unwittingly draw various calamity toxins unto themselves.
Calamity toxins range from light to severe, so it’s not as if all creatures slain by cultivators are inedible.
Just that the chances of being inedible are high, while edible chances are low.
Beyond meat, many wild fruits, vegetables, and roots are susceptible to calamity toxin invasion upon picking by cultivators.
This is one of the reasons Ding Chuan and his brothers nearly starved in the mountains.
Similarly, this is why Chen Xu previously saw many food entries in the mountain without any issues being revealed—
The various entries he saw, like wild fruits on the trees or mushrooms on the ground, were untouched.
Naturally, there were no issues.
But once you try to pick them? Ha, perhaps calamity toxins would emerge one by one.
There are also two interesting points here.
First, mutual predation among ordinary beasts, insects, and birds does not result in calamity toxins.
Second, when ordinary people pick or slaughter beasts, it similarly does not result in calamity toxins.
So, in short, these calamity toxins are specifically targeted at cultivators.
It’s as if in the human world, possessing some uniqueness often requires dealing with additional problems.
This is the Fate Calamity.
Without practicing magic, Fate Calamity doesn’t stick.
But practicing magic, the Divine Soul is annihilated.
These words were written by Ancestor Xinghui at the end of the travel notes.
