With Cultivation Simulator in a Chaotic World-Chapter 325 - 268: The Secret of Great Wei
Xiang Wuji gazed at the surrounding Golden Core Ancestors, his eyes slightly lowered, and said calmly, "How could a small empire like Great Wei, in just a few decades, become such a giant? Don’t you all find it strange?"
Originally, Great Wei was just an inconspicuous little dynasty within the Majestic Snow Realm, even less historic than the Tianfeng Dynasty. But one day, the former emperor abdicated, the nation was renamed Wei.
The emperor title changed to Mingwu; Emperor Mingwu and the Prime Minister Lin Yu ascended, reformed, built up martial strength, and the national power erupted rapidly.
However, it was too fast. This strength didn’t seem to have developed naturally, but rather appeared as if out of nowhere.
No one among the Golden Core ancestors spoke; they weren’t novices, each having lived for hundreds of years. How could they not recognize the unusualness of Great Wei?
"So, Daoist Xiang, what do you think?"
Xiang Wuji’s gaze slightly intensified.
"Form alliances, locate the source of Great Wei’s sudden rise, then dismantle it!"
"Or, leave here and become pioneers for Great Wei!"
"A few days ago, Emperor Mingwu showed Nascent Soul cultivation, which is surely why you are all here..."
Xiang Wuji’s gaze swept over the Golden Core elders.
"And that Prime Minister, with his surname of ’First’, likely is also a Nascent Soul powerhouse; I’m sure your information channels aren’t lacking..."
Suddenly emerging two Nascent Souls, it’s too unusual. Claiming they’re a recent breakthrough is basically impossible; the only possibility is that they’ve been concealing their strength.
All surrounding forces must have sent scouts to Great Wei; even the Golden Core Sects here have sent some.
Meanwhile, their information channels are also shared.
Great Wei’s anomaly and Ningzhou’s state-level forces’ silence continually stimulate the nerves of large-scale Cultivation Realms around Great Wei.
If Great Wei were just an ordinary newly-rising large-scale Cultivation Realm, these forces wouldn’t pay much attention.
Now, they could either fight, flee, or face death.
The third isn’t possible, and the first two require alliances.
If fleeing, the probability increases of being a pioneer for the king; the surrounding spiritual lands are all claimed, leaving would incite new wars, and Great Wei watches intently.
In any case, Wei’e Cultivation Realm, Changming Cultivation Realm, Danyang Cultivation Realm, and the Celestial Dragon Cultivation Realm to the west of Great Wei must all unite.
The optimal solution now is to unite and wage war against Great Wei.
The Golden Core Ancestors present were all silent...
War, might truly be on the horizon...

"Did you really find that woman?"
Xiang Wuji’s expression was icy, Jiang Zhiqing carried a longsword, tightly following Xiang Wuji.
She was gracefully built, with a cold demeanor, and had strands of Sword Qi dispersing from her, exceptionally sharp.
Completely different from the deposed princess from more than ten years ago.
Jiang Zhiqing knew that everything she had was given by the man before her.
Jiang Zhiqing immediately paid him respectful greetings and said, "According to your description, and the identification by those Everlasting Sect disciples traveling with us, it must be the outsider who caused trouble at Everlasting Sect back then."
"Interesting, interesting."
"Unexpectedly, that Nascent Soul demoness back then came from Great Wei; who knows when they planned this..."
Xiang Wuji’s tone was calm.
But Jiang Zhiqing could feel the killing intent from his words.
A Golden Core harboring killing intent towards a Nascent Soul.
Xiang Wuji has never been one for forgiveness; he always avenges his grudges.
"How are the arrangements over at Everlasting Sect?"
"Everything is proceeding according to plan."
Xiang Wuji nodded.
War is imminent, but Xiang Wuji has reasons not to leave.
The first is his ties with the Blood Demon Sect. As an unabashed Demon Cultivator, he’s certainly not an ungrateful villain.
He intends to at least protect the Blood Demon Sect.
The second is his desire to kill that Nascent Soul demoness, regardless of the means.
After strengthening with the Qi Devouring and God Swallowing Technique, Xiang Wuji recalls vividly the indistinct aura of the person who once effortlessly crushed him.
Identical to the aura of the demoness who wreaked havoc at Everlasting Sect back then.
Thus, perhaps he could utilize Everlasting Sect’s power to hunt her down!
Xiang Wuji’s eyes carried an extremely icy killing intent.
..........................................
[Year 11,432 of the Changtian Calendar, you successfully secretly controlled eleven direct disciples of the Everlasting Sect.]
[You secretly provided resources and personally taught them insights into the Everlasting Sect’s cultivation techniques, enabling them to progress rapidly.]
[Year 11,435 of the Changtian Calendar, you naturally broke through to Mid-Stage Golden Core, True Essence became increasingly robust, confident enough to defeat Late-Stage Golden Core elders.]
[In the same year, you and Jiang Zhiqing combined to wield the Celestial Dome White Jade Sword and White Sun Celestial Ink Saber, suppressing your power to Foundation Establishment Perfection, yet together you could perform a joint technique with Early-Stage Golden Core might, astonishing the world.]
The gap between Foundation Establishment and Golden Core is not easily bridged.
It represents a disparity in life level.
But Xiang Wuji can vaguely detect that the root of power isn’t merely their True Essence but rather their bodily constitution and bloodline when wielding the Celestial Dome White Jade Sword and White Sun Celestial Ink Saber.
Their body’s constitution and bloodline were in an intensely active state.
With one Yin and one Yang, the two bloodlines’ constitutions enhanced and activated each other, like the principle of Yin Yang’s mutual growth and restraint in the Great Dao.
And between the two, a Yin Yang momentum faintly formed.
