With Cultivation Simulator in a Chaotic World-Chapter 134 - 133: Sha Miaomiao’s Defiance

"What?"

"Where does this loose cultivator dare to rob my people, give me... ahem, Brother Ouyang, farewell."

"Farewell."

Sha Miaomiao hurriedly rushed out.

Cao Hongkun watched Sha Miaomiao’s back and felt a bit regretful, and so did Chu Kuang.

Ouyang Yun’s eyes were hidden beneath his hat, quietly observing the two.

Cao Hongkun replaced Ouyang Yun and became that very important discarded pawn.

Yet, the two are different; be it their personalities, talents, or comprehension, they all vary.

Like how Chu Kuang now is very familiar with Cao Hongkun, whereas Ouyang Yun and Chu Kuang were just acquaintances in past lives, never truly close friends.

For instance, Sha Miaomiao has little interest in Cao Hongkun.

This, in turn, gave Ouyang Yun a sense of relief.

It’s one of the few things that could stir his heart.

"Brother, please..."

"Hmm..."

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

In a mountain outside Nine Clouds Market.

A disciple of the Celestial Dust Sect, stripped bare, was hung up on a tree.

When Sha Miaomiao and others arrived, they could not find any trace of the so-called tribulation cultivator.

Only Junior Brother Li sobbed about the brutality of the person, convinced it was a notorious tribulation cultivator.

[Nine Rivers Calendar Year 7919: You cultivated the Nine Dragon Fire Technique, successfully gathering Qian Dragon, Kan Dragon, and Gen Dragon, achieving perfection in the Qi Refining Stage.]

[Nine Rivers Calendar Year 7921: You entered the Secret Realm of Longevity Pavilion.]

The Secret Realm of Longevity Pavilion is a private cultivation place similar to that visited by Zhu Chen among the Five Sects, such as the Flowing Cloud Sea and Extreme Ice Wall.

Longevity Pavilion naturally has special cultivation secret realms not open to outsiders.

And the secret realm of Longevity Pavilion is a true secret realm, residing in another spatial dimension.

The secret realm is divided into three small secret realms, corresponding to the three core cultivation techniques of Longevity Pavilion.

[You entered the Secret Realm of Eternal Life within Longevity Pavilion, and in the subset secret realm Endless Flame Domain, you entered seclusion.]

[You have extra insight into flames.] 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

[You can feel that your comprehension of the flame dao is not pure, so you continue seclusion.]

[Nine Rivers Calendar Year 7923: After sitting in meditation for two years, you can feel progress in your fire technique.]

[As you intended to leave, watching the vast flames in the sky, suddenly a spiritual light flashed, the Nine Lotus Long Fire Technique broke through, condensing into the Heart Fire Lotus, and you stepped into the second layer of Nine Lotus Long Fire Technique, with cultivation surging.]

[You took advantage to continue seclusion.]

[Nine Rivers Calendar Year 7924: Your cultivation broke through, reaching the eighth layer of Qi Refining, and your True Essence became even richer.]

[In the same year, your comprehension gained the recognition from the Secret Realm Spirit, and you received the spiritual fire Ninefold Spiritual Fire.]

[You emerged from seclusion, reported your experiences in the secret realm to Sikong Jingyang, Sikong Jingyang praised you, saying that the Secret Realm Spirit will grant you the most suitable spiritual fire.]

[Spiritual fire is immensely beneficial to both fire attribute cultivators and alchemists; it can enhance combat power and improve alchemy techniques.]

[Spiritual fire is rare, and only those with great fortune can obtain it; in the entire lower reaches of Qingqiu River, only within the Endless Fire Domain of Longevity Heaven can one acquire it, and only those recognized by the Secret Realm Spirit can obtain the Spirit Fire Seed.]

[Sikong Jingyang told you there are only five people possessing spiritual fire in the lower reaches of Qingqiu River: a Fake Core Elder of Longevity Pavilion, Sikong Jingyang, the Sect Master of Longevity Pavilion, you, and Jie Fangtao.]

[You were somewhat surprised that Jie Fangtao had already gained recognition from the secret realm and obtained spiritual fire.]

[You were surprised to discover that Ninefold Spiritual Fire has the ability to split, which harmonizes excellently with your Nine Dragon Fire Technique.]

[Your emergence from seclusion did not cause much stir, only Jie Fangtao came to congratulate.]

[Jie Fangtao showed great respect to you, and you were amazed at his talent; he is truly an alchemy genius.]

[Nine Rivers Calendar Year 7926: You successfully refined all third-grade pills, showcasing the peak alchemy cultivation of a Third-Grade Alchemist.]

[In the same year, the alchemy competition was held, but you did not participate, merely accompanied Jie Fangtao.]

[You witnessed the duel in alchemy skills between Jie Fangtao and Cao Hongkun.]

[Cao Hongkun seemed to have divine assistance and ended up tying with Jie Fangtao.]

[You noticed Sikong Jingyang and Master Yunding secretly came here, which might be the reason for Cao Hongkun’s extraordinary performance.]

[You know Jie Fangtao’s level in alchemy skills, which is not something Cao Hongkun could handle.]

[After this incident, Cao Hongkun’s reputation soared, overshadowing Jie Fangtao, and he was faintly regarded as the number one alchemist in the lower reaches of Qingqiu River.]

[Nine Rivers Calendar Year 7927: A powerhouse from Cyan Yuan Sword Sect visited Longevity Pavilion.]

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

[Nine Rivers Calendar Year 7931: You successfully broke through to the ninth layer of Qi Refining, reaching the final layer of the Qi Refining Stage.]

[At this point, you were only 38 years old, having traversed the entire Qi Refining Realm in just 35 years.]

In the last three layers of Qi Refining, Ouyang Yun’s progression had begun to slow down.

Firstly, due to the increased difficulty of cultivation, and secondly, the diminishing capability of the Celestial Demon Heart Devouring Technique.

[Nine Rivers Calendar Year 7932: A powerhouse from Celestial Dust Sect visited.]

[One day, your master summoned you.]

[The next day, you and Sha Miaomiao from Celestial Dust Sect were betrothed.]

Jiang Ming was a bit dazed.

Then just chuckled.

Initially, Jiang Ming thought that since Cao Hongkun replaced him, the Celestial Dust Sect might target Cao Hongkun.

Now thinking back, he realized it was just a passing thought.

Sha Miaomiao’s path is one of destruction and rebirth.

And what is the key to destruction and rebirth? Is it alchemy skills or the role of a pawn in this plan?

It’s neither, it’s Pure Yang Qi.

In other words, if Celestial Dust Sect wanted someone to collaborate on their plan.

It could only be Ouyang Yun.

Because only Ouyang Yun possesses Pure Yang Qi.

[In the same year, Sha Miaomiao was angry at the sect for setting her up with a marriage, and chose to leave the sect.]

This is Sha Miaomiao’s personality.

She loves freedom and dislikes others arranging things for her.

And Ouyang Yun understands Sha Miaomiao’s personality; the only thing that matters is if she chooses willingly to like others, not being forcibly arranged.

[Three months later, Sha Miaomiao came to Longevity Pavilion to challenge you.]

[You easily defeated her.]

[Sha Miaomiao was not convinced, setting a ten-year promise, swearing to defeat you in ten years.]

[Nine Rivers Calendar Year 7938: You swallowed a Foundation Establishment Pill, condensing Qi into liquid, successfully stepping into the Foundation Establishment Stage, becoming a Foundation Establishment Powerhouse.]

[In the same year, you refined a fourth-grade pill, Foundation Establishment Pill, earning the title of Fourth-Grade Alchemist.]

[Upon hearing the news, Sha Miaomiao silently changed the ten-year promise to a twenty-year promise.]

[Nine Rivers Calendar Year 7939: South Mountain Secret Realm was opened.]
