With Cultivation Simulator in a Chaotic World-Chapter 228 - 219: Qualification (Part 2)

"Go! And take those Demon Race geniuses with us!"

"Elder! They refuse to leave!"

"Damn it, a bunch of brainless fools, knock them out and tie them up! Hurry up, or we’ll all be taken away together!"

The Demon City branch of the Broken Cocoon Alliance was in chaos, but amidst the chaos, there was an undeniable efficiency.

In no time, the forces of several cities’ Broken Cocoon Alliance gathered together.

"Elder... I can’t bear to leave here!" A simple-looking young man stood on a high mountain, watching the slaughter of the Demon Race below, a tear forming at the corner of his eye; this was where he was born.

"Fool, your life is more important," the leading Elder was still packing, preparing to open the passage to Sword Spirit Heaven.

The simple young man clenched his fists, his gaze fixed on that impossibly tall giant mountain in the distance.

In the sky, more than thirty figures were engaged in battle, but the most intense action was on the giant mountain.

"Boom————"

A massive Dragon Sparrow crashed straight into the giant mountain, causing half of it to collapse.

The simple young man’s mouth hung slightly open.

"Little Li, don’t look. Experts of their level have incredibly keen senses; even from this distance, they might be able to sense your gaze."

The simple young man quickly withdrew his gaze.

"Who are they...?"

"Golden Core Elders of Sword Mountain River... The leaders should be the recently famous Pei Min, Li Heu, and Changyu... Their cultivation is only Early-Stage and Mid-Stage Golden Core, but their Sword Dao foundation is exceptionally solid, their full strength comparable to Golden Core Peak! They are among the most gifted individuals in Sword Mountain River and the three most shining stars in the Wood Element Ding Domain..."

"In an era in Sword Mountain River where Golden Core Peak is absent, these geniuses, whose cultivation and combat power don’t match, are the true leaders."

"Even the late-stage Golden Core veterans in Sword Mountain River can’t match them in a real fight... However, these genius seeds generally aren’t used as immediate combat power... It’s unclear whether Sword Mountain River sees through the whole situation here or if there’s another reason..."

The leading Elder’s gaze was profound.

Little Li’s eyes were vacant.

He stared blankly at the sky, not daring to watch the battle.

And in the sky, as if three sword-carrying figures in white appeared, their features indistinct yet looming large over the entire sky, their hands extended as if to cover the entire Demon Race Secret Realm.

"I will definitely cultivate well to defeat them..."

Little Li clenched his fists.

The Elder sighed and said nothing more.

"I will also definitely defeat him, Pei Min!" A voice sounded beside him. Little Li knew this was Su Can, a talented senior in the alliance.

Su Can had matured into a stable young man. He looked at the Elder and asked, "As the Elder said, where have the real experts of Sword Mountain River gone?"

The leading old man breathed a sigh of relief, having set up the array to open a new passage.

He replied, "The seniors in the alliance are also searching for this answer..."

"Now’s not the time for this discussion."

"Run!"

"But Elder... This place..."

"As long as the Cyan Mountain remains, there’s no need to worry about firewood!" The Elder urgently pushed the Broken Cocoon Alliance cultivators into the array.

Su Can stared intently in the direction of Demon Emperor Mountain. The Dragon Sparrow that had fallen on Demon Emperor Mountain was now motionless, and even the disturbances in the sky began to calm down.

Su Can knew that Dragon Sparrow was the king among Demon Kings here, the most powerful Mountain Sea Dragon Sparrow; even some of the Golden Core Peak cultivators in the Broken Cocoon Alliance were not its opponent.

Su Can stopped watching and turned away from the scene.

"What will be the outcome for this Secret Realm...?"

"Going by Sword Mountain River’s nature, they won’t allow any natural Secret Realms to exist; the only fate for this place... is obliteration..."

The last word fell, and everyone’s figures vanished completely.

Pei Min calmly withdrew his longsword, a splash of hot demon blood splattering onto his face.

Pei Min no longer had much Sword Essence to fend off the demon blood that posed no real threat.

"Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth... There are enough materials for sword spirit formation..."

"There’s even a Demon King with the Illusion Dream Butterfly bloodline here, enough to serve as the sword spirit for my Green Fall Sword..."

"Brother Pei, huh, you seem quite composed..."

Li Heu and Changyu, breathless, landed beside Pei Min. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

On the distant hillside, two gigantic beasts lay motionless on the ground like small hills.

"My Sword Essence is running low..."

"What about this Secret Realm next?"

"It will be handled by other elders from the United Sword Institute." Li Heu spoke, crushing a Jade Pendant.

Sword cultivators began pouring into the entrance in the sky, their cultivation and combat power inferior to those who first entered the Secret Realm.

There were even those few Golden Core Late-Stage elders among the United Sword Essence.

"Next... it’s the obliteration of the Secret Realm..."

"The Secret Realm... wouldn’t it be better to leave it for development?" Pei Min asked in some confusion.

Changyu was also somewhat puzzled.

Mid-Stage Golden Core Li Heu did not elaborate, merely shrugged and said, "You’ll just have to wait until you’re at Mid-Stage Golden Core; otherwise, even if I told you, you’d forget anyway."

"Forget... Thinking about it, I have indeed forgotten a lot of things..." Changyu contemplated.

At this time, arrays were being set up in the sky, sea, land, and mountains...

"What is this?"

"These arrays will connect with Sword Mountain River’s power, using it to destroy and absorb this place... Otherwise, even if the Sword Master were to come here personally, it would be nearly impossible to destroy such a massive Secret Realm so quickly..." Li Heu explained.

"This way, I find myself more and more interested..." Changyu smiled, his aura beginning to swell vigorously, breaking through in an instant, the surrounding Spiritual Qi rapidly pouring into his meridians.

He unexpectedly broke through to Mid-Stage Golden Core in conversation.

Changyu’s smile suddenly froze, then he frowned, his eyes filled with new insights.

Pei Min shook his head.

He had been at Golden Core for no more than forty years; he estimated it would take him a few more years to break through. Altogether, half a century is not a long time for a Golden Core with an eight-hundred-year lifespan...

[You, along with Li Heu and Changyu, led the Sword Cultivators of Wood Element Ding Domain to destroy the top powers within the Demon Race Secret Realm.]

[You gathered the sword spirit materials for four swords; only the Peak Sword lacks a sword spirit material, and you plan to nurture the sword spirit with your Essence, Qi, and Spirit in the remaining time.]

[Several elders from the Wood Realm came to set up the arrays, and it was your first glimpse of Sword Mountain River’s boundless power, a force that seems to transcend the individual, showcasing the distilled essence of millennia of sword cultivation.]

[You can feel Sword Mountain River drawing the energy of this world; it would only take a decade for all Spirit Veins here to dry up, leading to the world’s destruction and the eventual obliteration of all its living beings.]

[You felt little sentiment, returning to the Battle Absolute Sword Institute to retreat into cultivation, aiming to break through to Mid-Stage Golden Core to learn more.]

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

[In the year 98,039 of the Celestial Sword Calendar, Yang Ziyi broke through to Foundation Establishment, followed by Pei Xinghe the same year; you prepared gifts for both, then continued your own seclusion...]

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

[In the year 98,045 of the Celestial Sword Calendar, your Sword Essence gathered, breaking through the bottleneck in an instant, reaching Mid-Stage Golden Core.]

[Lost memories flooded your mind, including names you had seen but forgotten, among them the names of Sword Venerables and Sword Masters...]

[It seems you are privileged to learn the true secrets behind Sword Mountain River...]
