With Cultivation Simulator in a Chaotic World-Chapter 156 - 155: Rely on Yourself, Not the Gods

"Moreover, the aura is different from all the Life-extending Pills I know..."

There was a considerable interest in Jiang Ming’s eyes.

The systems of Great Lii and Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm are completely different.

The cultivation system of Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm studies the heavens and the earth, using Spirit Root and True Essence as the foundation to explore the principles of heaven and earth, thereby deriving countless cultivation techniques, ultimately leading to immortality.

But in Great Lii, the Human Race’s cultivation system is based on the Heart Lamp, combating evil spirits by igniting the fire of the body and the fire of the soul, protecting the body with dual flames, generating Primordial Power, and fearing no evil spirits.

In Great Lii, the Magic is relatively simple, and it is more based on developing Heart Lamp abilities, somewhat similar to superpower users in those fantasy works from Jiang Ming’s previous life. After the initial accumulation of Primordial Power, the Heart Lamp can develop various special abilities. Immortal Masters in the Heart Lamp Realm rely on these abilities, combined with Martial Dao enhanced by Original Force, to fight against evil spirits.

The so-called Magic must also be accompanied by the abilities of the Heart Lamp. Compared to cultivation, the cultivation system of this world is somewhat simple and even primitive.

Yet in such an environment, they were able to develop the Alchemy Dao, a supplementary cultivation path that requires extensive accumulation.

"Two benefactors, please proceed." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

The Daoist, who had remained still all along, suddenly spoke.

"Oh, oh, yes, yes," Li Youqian quickly said, wanting to take out some pieces of silver from his waist to give to the Daoist as incense money.

The Daoist gently pushed back, saying, "Benefactor, our Taoist Temple does not encourage such things..."

Li Youqian lightly exclaimed, thanked, and tucked the pieces of silver back into his waist.

"Young brother, these Daoists are quite interesting."

"The Daoists in the Taoist Temples in my hometown all charge money, saying it’s the cost of rituals to keep evil spirits away."

"I thought all Daoists and monks were out to extort money, but the Daoists here are quite decent."

Li Youqian and Jiang Ming moved forward.

Li Youqian directly knelt on the meditation cushion, whispering softly.

But on one side, he saw Jiang Ming did not kneel.

"Young brother?"

Jiang Ming looked at the three Daoist Monarch statues in front of him.

He smiled and said, "Old brother, I don’t have the habit of worshipping gods."

"Better to rely on oneself than seek the gods."

Li Youqian was momentarily stunned, almost blurting out, "Then why did you come to the Taoist Temple?"

Jiang Ming looked at him, as if seeing through his thoughts, and said, "Entrusted by others, that’s all. You should hurry up and leave."

The next second, Jiang Ming disappeared from Li Youqian’s sight.

Li Youqian was stunned, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead as he looked around.

"G...ghost..."

Li Youqian suddenly stood up from the meditation cushion.

The next second, all surrounding noise abruptly ceased.

Everything became incomparably silent.

The men and women who had been kneeling in front of the Daoist Monarch statues vanished, leaving Li Youqian standing alone.

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

"Ah——" Xun Yuan shouted almost frantically as he looked at the abyss in front of him, gritting his teeth, he charged forward, trying to jump off the cliff.

The next second, a hand grabbed the back of his collar, pulling him back with force.

"Kid, don’t rush to your death so quickly," a woman’s voice rang out, and Xun Yuan fell to the ground with a thud.

Xun Yuan breathed heavily, and only then did he see the figure behind him.

The black suit highlighted her slender yet firm figure—a tall and gallant woman with her hair in a ponytail.

The woman held a long knife in one hand, the other having just pulled Xun Yuan back.

"This... where is this..." Xun Yuan looked around.

He now realized that the surroundings were no longer as bright as outside the Longevity Temple, but were rather dim.

Looking again, Xun Yuan felt a faint sense of familiarity in this place.

Especially those three sculptures over there.

In front of him was a massive gap.

The floor was shattered by something, revealing a huge hole in the ground.

He almost fell into it just now.

"This..."

The surrounding light was faint, casting darkness across the entire grand hall.

The woman’s half-face was concealed in the shadows, yet her expression remained calm as she said, "Just large rats."

"Huh?" Xun Yuan was confused.

But the ground suddenly shook.

A green tendril emerged from the gap, violently striking towards the woman.

The black-clad woman performed a perfectly executed back bend to dodge the strike.

Her waist, like highly elastic rubber, bounced back, as her hand grasped the knife handle.

"Swoosh—"

The blade gleamed, severing the green tendril.

Red and green liquid splashed out.

Xun Yuan scrambled away, watching the scene in horror.

From the broken floor, faint screams echoed, followed by a tremor as if something were about to crawl out from the opening.

Xun Yuan somewhat regretted not diligently cultivating Martial Dao before, otherwise, he wouldn’t be this useless now.

In the distance, the three sculptures seemed like they were the remnants of Daoist Monarch statues.

The statues’ bodies were damaged, fragments continuously falling off as the ground trembled.

Centipedes even crawled out from the gods’ eye sockets.

Shadows engulfed the statues.

A massive monster crawled out from beneath the floor.

Xun Yuan’s pupils contracted.

This monster’s body was covered in vines; although called vines, to Xun Yuan, they felt like fleshy tendrils supporting the monster’s body.

The black-clad woman had a look of solemnity in her eyes as she gently wiped her blade.

"Fire Sparrow!"

A fiery bird formed of flames appeared in her gaze.

Flames climbed from her wrist to the long knife in her hand.

"Slash!"

Flames coalesced into a long blade, slashing at the monster’s body.

The searing Fire Blade cleaved the monster’s flesh, the flames instantly burning the blood to ash.

"Boom—" The next second, the massive monster’s body fell, splitting in two.

A one-hit kill!

Xun Yuan’s mouth gaped open, "Immortal Master..."

"Kid, wait here," the black-clad woman seemed somewhat pleased when looking at Xun Yuan.

With a flick of her knife, ash flew off the blade.

"Can I ask who you are..." Xun Yuan couldn’t help but inquire at the sight of the black-clad woman.

"From Sea Suppression City, Black Death Blade Guard, Fengy Mei."

The black-clad woman spoke her title without reservation, meanwhile, she adjusted her belongings and popped a crimson pill into her mouth.

"Alright kid, now’s not the time for chit-chat."

"I saved your life; you seem like a rich young master, just have my reward ready when I return."

The black-clad woman swallowed the crimson pill, her Qi-Blood beginning to burn, the fire in her soul burning brightly.

The black-clad woman’s eyes gradually became sharp.

Xun Yuan swallowed hard.

Sea Suppression City is the closest Main City to Mingwu City.
