With Cultivation Simulator in a Chaotic World-Chapter 44: Dragon Gate Conference
[On the journey, the wolf pack surrounded and attacked. You held them off to let Qian Li escape. Qian Li was unwilling, but was eventually dragged away by the attendant student, leaving you alone in the forest to fight the wolves.]
[After Qian Li left, you leaped onto the branches and escaped, leaving behind a bewildered wolf pack.]
[From this point, you completely broke free from your shackles and began heading north, seeking opportunities.]
[In the year 1701 of the Daqi Calendar, the White Lotus Sect raised a rebellion in the three northern counties. You seized the opportunity to join, looking for any signs of Immortal Fate.]
[In the year 1703 of the Daqi Calendar, the White Lotus uprising was suppressed. Already mingling among the higher ranks, you regretfully discovered no traces of immortals in the White Lotus Sect. However, you did gain a large amount of resources.]
[After the defeat, the Northern Kingdom General, impressed by your remarkable aptitude and exceptional martial prowess, wanted to enlist you as a personal guard. You declined and left.]
[In the year 1704 of the Daqi Calendar, you discovered an ancient legacy at the bottom of a cliff, only to find it was merely a Martial Dao legacy. Regretfully, you casually handed it to a scorned live-in son-in-law.]
[In the same year, you joined a top martial arts sect in one of the nine northern counties, but raided the sect’s treasury at midnight, acquiring a massive amount of resources. From this, you learned that the Cyan Cloud Sect sends sect disciples on journeys across nations to actively recruit new disciples, though there’s no fixed time or place. Whether you can catch the eye of an immortal depends entirely on luck.]
[However, every thirty years, a Dragon Gate Conference occurs. Those holding a Dragon Gate Token can attend the conference to qualify for joining the Cyan Cloud Sect.]
[The last Dragon Gate Conference was ten years ago, meaning the next one is in twenty years, and by that time, you would be forty-four years old.]
[While browsing secret information, your slight excitement alerted the Guardian Elder. You engaged but were overpowered, and with injuries as the cost, you managed to kill them and escape the sect.]
[In the same year, a bounty was issued on you in the Jianghu, and you were given the codename Mad Demon Saber.]
[While everyone was searching for you, you recuperated at the back mountain of the sect.]
[In the year 1705 of the Daqi Calendar, after your injuries healed, you leveraged the stolen resources to advance further, reaching the Acquired Peak.]
[In the year 1706 of the Daqi Calendar, while traveling the Jianghu, you encountered the Sect Leader of the Ancient Cang Sect, Ming Shaoquan, and Leng Xingjian—the three great experts besieged you, and you killed them.]
[In the year 1708 of the Daqi Calendar, the bounty on you in the Jianghu grew higher and higher, and your daily movements increasingly difficult. You chose to join the infamous assassin organization, Silent Tower, using its intelligence to search for the Dragon Gate Token.]
[In the year 1713 of the Daqi Calendar, you killed the patriarch of the Changfeng Sunx Family and obtained the Dragon Gate Token.]
[In the year 1715 of the Daqi Calendar, you advanced to the Innate level, killing three Innate Grandmasters. You became a Heavenly Killer in Silent Tower, gaining more authority within the organization.]
[You learned that the Dragon Gate Token is issued randomly and only thirty tokens are released every thirty years.]
[Each Dragon Gate Token is enough to revive a family, and those holding the tokens can bring any number of people to the Dragon Gate Conference. However, bringing too many would anger the immortals.]
[Everyone must partake in the Dragon Gate Conference ordeal; those who survive can join the sect.]
[Innate individuals need not participate in the ordeal and can automatically join the sect.]
Jiang Ming exhaled a long breath.
He finally touched upon the true secrets.
If nothing unexpected happens, he’ll still need to perform a second simulation.
In that case...
Jiang Ming’s thoughts stirred slightly.
[You began purposefully gathering information on the timing and location of the already issued Dragon Gate Tokens, especially focusing on the last issuance.]
[Accessing Silent Tower’s intelligence, you acquired a wealth of information.]
Most Dragon Gate Tokens are divided among major powers, but a few lucky ones can obtain a token. With this information, this time, during the second simulation of reincarnation, you don’t need to participate in this Dragon Gate Conference. Instead, you only need to partake in the previous Dragon Gate Conference.
Currently, Zhu Ergou has already obtained a Dragon Gate Token and began gathering information decisively.]
[You started collecting information regarding the Dragon Gate Token while simultaneously using this as a cover, ensuring no one knows you already have a Dragon Gate Token.]
.........
.........
[In the year 1721 of the Daqi Calendar, the Dragon Gate Token again stirred a bloody storm in the Jianghu. You watched coldly from aside, but business with the Silent Tower kept improving, providing you with more resources for further cultivation.]
[Exorbitant prices were already being offered in the Jianghu for the purchase of the Dragon Gate Token. Even the Southern Land Tycoons were willing to offer enough supplies to arm and sustain a five hundred thousand-strong army in exchange for a token.]
[In the year 1723 of the Daqi Calendar, your holding of a Dragon Gate Token inadvertently leaked, increasing your bounty a hundredfold.]
[In the same year, three Heavenly Killers from Silent Tower decided to make a move on you.]
[You killed them all while wounded, then defected from Silent Tower.]
[In the year 1724 of the Daqi Calendar, you are forty-four years old, still in your prime, and the Dragon Gate Conference is set to commence.]
The Dragon Gate Conference takes place in a vast gorge in Cold Wind County, the northernmost county of Daqi.
Cold Wind County is usually sparsely populated, but every thirty years, countless people and horses travel there.
Countless smokes and flames explode here as well. Some great powers holding Dragon Gate Tokens crush everything in their path. There are also lucky ones with insufficient strength proceeding cautiously. Some people want to try their luck to see if they can be discovered by immortals while watching, believing they have Immortal Talent. Furthermore, there are more people aiming to intercept those with Dragon Gate Tokens yet lacking strength. The holders of the Dragon Gate Tokens are still uncertain until entering the Dragon Gate Canyon.
A gust of cold wind blew by.
A shadow in black clothing skimmed through like a bat.
"Halt! Let us, the Jiangbei Seven Brothers, see if you have a Dragon Gate Token!"
On a passageway, although there weren’t many people, it was still bustling.
Seven distinctive figures blocked the path, checking each passerby. Jianghu people, who usually fight at the slightest disagreement, acted like docile sheep, letting the seven men inspect them without a word. The Dragon Gate Token is not too big, not too small; a touch is enough to know. No one could easily hide it on them. The seven’s lowest was at the Acquired Peak, with three being Innate Experts, renowned across several counties. Those unaware of the seven’s reputation feared the sheer intensity from their bodies. When they saw the shadow rushing towards them, the seven positioned themselves in front of it.
"Do I need to repeat myself?"
One of the Jiangbei Seven Brothers glared coldly.
"Noisy."
A cold voice resounded.
In the next second, a cold light stretched into a fine line, snatching all the brilliance from the heaven and earth.
The shadow dashed away.
While the seven brothers left behind stared blankly at the blood lines on their bodies, they toppled over like building blocks, becoming two severed corpses.
Only then did the bystanders react.
"It’s... it’s Master Demon Blade, the holder of the Dragon Gate Token!"
