With Cultivation Simulator in a Chaotic World

Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm included eleven regions of Void Abyss within its territory, annexing numerous vast realms surrounding it.

Wanlang Mountains unknowingly have gradually shifted from a loose alliance towards an organized sect system.

Zhong Heng landed at the Celestial Palace in the Clouds.

The Celestial Palace in the Clouds was still the array he personally set up; this array had previously been upgraded by him to a Tier Ten Array, which not only doesn’t consume the resources of Wanlang Mountains but also absorbs the Essence of Heaven and Earth, constantly producing Spirit Stones and other resources.

Zhong Heng did not restrain his aura.

In no time, close to five hundred Nascent Soul Cultivators came before Zhong Heng.

"Five hundred Nascent Souls..."

It seems quite a lot, but back then Wanlang Mountains also had plenty of Nascent Souls.

The combined territories of the Eastern and Western Realm nearly reached two hundred.

And now, with Wanlang Mountains having expanded its territory considerably, having this number of Nascent Souls was within expectation.

Yet within fifteen hundred years, not a single Nascent Soul has successfully broken through to Divinity Transformation.

However, the number of Foundation Establishment has greatly increased.

The Golden Core Sect has become increasingly competitive.

Zhong Heng looked at the respectful yet unfamiliar disciples and subordinates before him.

Beside Zhong Heng was Kong Ling.

One of the few elders accompanying him.

Even though Kong Ling reached the Demon King realm and possessed the Peacock Bloodline.

Her life span was still limited.

"Kong Ling, how much lifespan do you have left?"

"In response to the Venerable, eight hundred years..."

Zhong Heng fell silent for a moment.

Ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivators have a lifespan of only two thousand years.

Kong Ling having six thousand years is already quite remarkable.

Zhong Heng hesitated a bit and said, "I’ll make a trip to the Peacock Secret Realm..."

"No need, Venerable."

"Extending my life is not as worthwhile as adding more talents to our clan..."

"Without becoming an Immortal, there is no immortality."

Kong Ling no longer had her previous youthful appearance.

Though her skin was relatively firm, her hair had begun to whiten, and crow’s feet appeared at the corners of her eyes.

Zhong Heng said no more.

Monieya was also among the cultivators below.

As the most senior elder, Monieya was naturally at the forefront.

The Gods Continent of old had long become an unnoticeable part of the Wanlang Mountains.

Monieya’s Faith Ranch had long spread to hundreds of Secret Realms.

Monieya’s cultivation had also directly reached Nascent Soul Perfection.

Yet Zhong Heng looked at Monieya, this Deity from the Gods Continent, entirely different from when he first met...

Like a different person.

This is the flaw of faith deities.

Besides Immortals, who can attain eternal life in this world?

The answer is: God

Deities, as long as their faith is unbroken, they remain immortal.

Immortals are carefree and eternal; Deities aren’t carefree, but seemingly immortal too.

Incense Fire Deities closely ties to faith; they gain power from faith, which continuously reshapes them.

Deities gradually change to reflect the expectations of their followers.

That’s why some deity churches emphasize writing sacred texts and teaching followers.

Even with millennia of subtle influence, Monieya couldn’t remain the Monieya of old.

Her personality, appearance, even the essence of her soul, quietly altered by faith.

The only unchanged aspect is her faint memories and the name Monieya.

Monieya was still immensely respectful to Zhong Heng.

Zhong Heng, however, withdrew his gaze.

According to Zhong Heng’s plan, Wanlang Mountains progressed steadily amid the era of contention.

Absorbed a substantial amount of talent.

Moreover, didn’t make enemies with those celestial prides rising from obscurity.

Even attracted celestial prides visiting by reputation, wishing to apprentice under Zhong Heng.

Zhong Heng’s clone left at Wanlang Mountains indeed accepted several disciples.

Even took in two Direct Disciples; their cultivation in Array Dao was indeed exceptional.

But the nearby Divinity Transformation Cultivator, Celestial Peace Venerable wasn’t as fortunate.

For unknown reasons, his disciples and grand-disciples offended three or four cultivators suspected of being celestial prides.

Causing chaos, with his grand-disciple beaten, then his disciple went, and also got beaten.

Finally, Celestial Peace Venerable himself intervened to resolve the feud.

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

Bright Moon Realm.

Zhong Heng and several Divinity Transformation Venerables watched Venerable Mingyue seated high in the heavens.

"Daoist Mingyue is about to sit and transform..."

"With one less Venerable among us."

The Divinity Transformation Cultivators acquainted with Venerable Mingyue secretly sighed.

Divinity Transformation after all will meet the end of their lifespan and sit and transform.

Venerable Mingyue began his final preaching.

Yet despite the radiant sun above.

The sky turned dark, a luminous moon replaced the sun, illuminating the earth.

Everyone remained silent.

They all could see the invisible flame burning on Venerable Mingyue’s body.

That’s Venerable Mingyue burning his remaining lifespan, trying to glimpse the further Great Dao.

Furthermore, he openly presented his glimpse of the Great Dao to the world.

This rarely seen phenomenon influencing Jiuzhou indeed is uncommon, Divinity Transformation Cultivators can easily alter the phenomena within Blessed Land Grotto Heaven.

Yet altering Jiuzhou’s phenomena is rare, usually works of Immortals.

The cultivators in Bright Moon Realm listened captivated.

The greatest harvest, however, was for these Divinity Transformation Venerables.

Venerable Mingyue with a smile on his lips, slowly closed his eyes, the surrounding phenomena disappeared.

His body sat transformed high in the heavens, as an Artifact flew towards him, it was Venerable Mingyue’s precaution, his remains would become a legacy for those fated.

Yet, among Divinity Transformation Cultivators there are both grace and enmity.

The sky suddenly filled with black air.

A black figure holding a long banner emerged, countless Ghost Kings and Ghost Emperors manifested within the banner, as if the Nine Nether descended.

Countless black air shrouded the sky.

A ghost claw formed in the black air, reaching towards Venerable Mingyue’s body.

"Mingyue, since you’re dead, why not lend your aid to upgrade my Human Emperor Banner."

"The body of a Venerable is enough to let me extract a Divinity Transformation Level blood ghost."

"Ha ha ha"

The cultivators in Bright Moon Realm turned pale.

Some struggled to resist, only to be devoured by ghost entities, becoming one in the Human Emperor Banner.

"Fellow Daoists, act now."

Cultivators around Zhong Heng said.

They came not just to witness Venerable Mingyue pass.

Also by unspoken agreement, a customary rule.

They gained insights from Venerable Mingyue’s glimpse of Great Dao before death.

At the same time, they must help protect Venerable Mingyue’s final dignity, his physical body.

The body of a Divinity Transformation Venerable is a valuable treasure, left in this state can maintain its glory for thousands of years like gold and jade.

Also, prime resource for various techniques.

"It’s Nine Nether Venerable."

"Rumored he acquired Netherworld Water, Earth, and fragments of the ancient Divine Artifact Yellow Earth Banner, refined them into the Human Emperor Banner."

"With late-stage Divinity Transformation cultivation, ordinary Divinity Transformation is simply no match."

"Even Venerable Mingyue could only protect himself before him."

"No worries, with us united, no matter how strong Nine Nether is, it’s futile."

Several Divinity Transformation Cultivators hesitated no longer.

All revealed themselves, stopping Nine Nether Venerable from seizing Venerable Mingyue’s Dao body.

"Ha ha ha."

"Truly think I don’t know the rules?" Nine Nether Venerable laughed chillingly.

Behind him, three more Divinity Transformation emerged.

Three Divinities all renowned, practicing some dark techniques, perhaps reached some agreement with Nine Nether Venerable to assist.

In an instant, the battle escalated into a Divinity Transformation melee.

The Divinities all unerringly fought above the Nine Heavens. A few individuals clashing was fine, but such scale of melee inevitably harms Jiuzhou, risking Immortal punishment.

"Celestial Derivation, everything is entrusted to you." Said a Divinity withdrawing at the last moment.

Leaving only Zhong Heng and Nine Nether Venerable on the field.

Countless gazes focused on the two figures standing in the sky, yet both figures were immensely grand, briefly unclear.
