With Cultivation Simulator in a Chaotic World

"The notion of ’national destiny’ has been passed down since ancient times and was acquired by our Zhaoo Family. It is deeply mysterious and difficult to elucidate. Even a powerhouse like the Phoenix Ancestor is inevitably influenced by national destiny."

"Therefore, establishing a new emperor is permissible, but it must be a new emperor decided by our Zhaoo Family."

"We cannot allow them to arbitrarily pick a bastard child allegedly descended from the Zhaoo Family from outside!"

"If you are willing to help our Zhaoo Family, whatever you want, we can provide it."

"Even the one standing behind you, should a thirteenth True God be appointed or should one of the existing True Gods fall unexpectedly, our Zhaoo Family will fully support this person to become the new True God."

The expression on Peach Tiger, standing behind Jiang Ming, remained unchanged.

After Zhaoo Tian finished speaking,

the scene suddenly fell silent.

Jiang Ming poured himself a cup of tea.

He also refilled Zhaoo Tian’s cup.

"If I were to help you, it would be no problem."

"What I want is the channel of the Chaofeng Pavilion."

"I want to establish an organization beneath the Chaofeng Pavilion."

As soon as Jiang Ming’s words fell.

Zhaoo Tian slapped the table and stood up abruptly.

"You, you!"

The power of the Zhaoo Family has been gradually weakening.

Although they hold royal authority, it doesn’t extend beyond the palace.

A famished camel is still bigger than a horse; the Zhaoo Family, when singled out, is still formidable, but they are thus encircled by various forces working together within the Divine Capital.

Outside the Divine Capital, the Chaofeng Pavilion is the only power the Zhaoo Family can control.

Or rather, indirectly control.

Because the founder of the Chaofeng Pavilion is the Phoenix Ancestor, who established it with the intent to suppress various evils in the world.

When the Phoenix Ancestor slumbers, the Chaofeng Pavilion falls under the Emperor’s control.

Therefore, the Chaofeng Pavilion is indirectly controlled by the Zhaoo Family.

But because of this, over the years the Chaofeng Pavilion has suffered from external prying eyes, and without the Phoenix Ancestor’s involvement, it would have been thoroughly consumed long ago.

Initially, the Chaofeng Pavilion was considered a giant within all of Great Lii.

Originally, the Chaofeng Pavilion had numerous subordinate institutions.

Such as the Carefree Building, which expanded outward,

the Red Flame Sword, which suppressed racial uprisings,

the Brocade Gate, responsible for investigating human race forces,

and the Creation Hall, which developed new cultivation techniques.

Yet, these subordinate organizations have been continuously reduced by the combined forces of courtiers and local Jiedu Envoys.

Finally, only the Night Watcher, responsible for suppressing and slaying evils, was left.

The entire Chaofeng Pavilion had been dissected.

Numerous forces came to understand through bloody sacrifices that the Phoenix Ancestor cares nothing for mortal affairs.

She only cares about two things: the Zhaoo Family and the stability of Great Lii.

Thus, the authority of the Chaofeng Pavilion was continually fragmented and distributed among various powers.

Today, the Chaofeng Pavilion is already the Zhaoo Family’s reverse scale.

Jiang Ming still appeared calm and composed.

"Well, what do you think?"

Jiang Ming looked at the middle-aged man standing behind the elder.

This kind of trick seemed somewhat dull; Jiang Ming had seen from the beginning that the middle-aged man was the primary figure in this negotiation, not the elder.

"You!"

The middle-aged man pressed down on the elder’s shoulder.

"Though the Zhaoo Family is in decline, it still has a foundation. We know your cultivation is not shallow, not a typical Divine Treasure, thus we sought you out."

"But you are just a Divine Treasure; the opposing side has three True God-level powerhouses."

"What makes you think the Zhaoo Family should pay such a price?"

Jiang Ming clapped his hands.

Sunx Wudao somehow produced a tray from somewhere.

On the tray were twelve tokens.

"Master, master, here." Sunx Wudao’s eyes were filled with excitement.

The members of the Zhaoo Family had no idea why Jiang Ming was so excited, they were somewhat puzzled.

Jiang Ming flipped open one of the tokens.

"Chengyang True God"

The four words were inscribed on the token.

Jiang Ming gently touched it.

The intelligence collected by the Demon Pavilion appeared from the token.

Then Jiang Ming transformed into a flowing light and disappeared.

"He... what is he going to do." Zhaoo Tian was a bit bewildered.

There were some conjectures in his mind.

But they were utterly unrealistic.

"Could it be he intends to kill a True God..."

"Sheer madness!" blurted out a young Zhaoo Family disciple.

A ghastly monkey face appeared in front of him, scaring him to the ground.

"What a pity, this old one is not strong enough, and the Lord has to act personally."

The people at the scene looked at each other in dismay.

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

Great Lii Divine Capital.

It is the most prosperous place in all of Great Lii.

In the Capital Region, there were basically no more evil spirits.

The population continued to proliferate.

The Divine Capital was under the feet of the Son of Heaven.

Therefore, it became even more prosperous, with everyone wanting to witness the splendor of the Divine Capital.

The broad streets were paved with bluestone slabs, filled with a constant stream of traffic and a throng of pedestrians. On both sides of the street, shops stood in a row, and banners fluttered in the wind.

There was no trace of the unsettling and bizarre atmosphere of this Demon and Monster Chaos World.

Nor was there the constant atmosphere of fear and anxiety seen outside the Capital Region.

This seemed to be a land of bliss.

In twelve directions of the Divine Capital,

stood twelve golden body divine statues.

The statues were over twenty zhang tall.

Countless devotees knelt beneath these statues.

Everyone in the Divine Capital knew that with the Twelve True Gods’ protection, everything would go smoothly.

Even in death, one could ascend to the Pure Land of Bliss of the Twelve True Gods.

Devotees, nearly mad with piety, kowtowed before these statues.

"The world knows of the Twelve True Gods, but not of the Celestial Family."

The veteran constable led the newly joined apprentice constable.

"The Celestial Family, shouldn’t the Emperor be supreme?"

"Even if they are deities..."

"Kid, you can tell you’ve been reading those so-called sages’ books too much."

"In this world, only strength is the true way."

"Our Divine Capital is considered a Holy Land. If you go and look in the Thirty-Six Main Cities, the Thirty-Six Commanderies."

"Full of monsters and demons, who would remember that ridiculous Emperor?"

The veteran constable knocked on the little constable’s head.

"The Royal Family has long been in decline."

Just as the words fell,

a scorching light surged skyward from the Imperial Palace.

The light grew increasingly dazzling, momentarily transforming into a blazing sun in the sky.

An even more intense light flashed by.

The statue the two constables were facing was instantly split in two.

"Master, what did you just say..."

......

"Who dares destroy my golden body?"

An extremely enraged voice echoed.

However, this voice had a trace of reverberation, making it more ethereal and solemn.

It matched everyone’s imagination of a deity.

A colossal presence, capable of covering half the sky, materialized out of thin air.

Dazzling light burst forth from his body, his skin shimmering with mysterious golden patterns, incredibly mystical.

His face was majestic and sacred, eyes like two burning suns, with a straight nose like a peak, tightly shut lips, and hair flowing like flames wantonly dancing behind his head.

Above his head, a brilliant halo shone, exuding a divine aura.

Countless devotees became extraordinarily excited, trembling as they prostrated on the ground.

"God above!"

"Deity!"

"Chengyang Immortal Monarch!"

Chengyang True God was extremely furious.

This golden body was not just for show.

It was capable of collecting the devotees’ incense offerings.

The destruction of the golden body meant that nearly all the incense he had collected over the years had dissipated.

"Today, even if you are a Divine Treasure powerhouse."

"I will swallow you whole... "

"Make you suffer the Nether Fire that burns the divine soul day and night..."

However, before Chengyang True God could finish speaking.

A cascade of five-colored flowing light appeared around him.

Five Elements Sword Array!

Within the sword array, the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth continuously generated each other, instantly transforming into tens of thousands of five-colored sword lights.

Chengyang True God’s words came to an abrupt halt.

His divine body was shattered!

"Too much nonsense."

Black qi appeared in Jiang Ming’s hand.

In an instant, he transformed into a stream of light, charging into the fragments of the divine body.

He grasped the true form of the deity by the throat.

The demonic qi condensed by the Initial Demon Scripture continuously invaded and restrained Chengyang True God’s body.

"Immortal Binding Array, rise."

Golden chains sealed the deity.

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

In the Leopard Room Celestial Crane Tower.

The Zhaoo family disciples were stunned, their minds blank.

They watched Jiang Ming’s figure reappear, throwing out a radiant golden figure.
