With Cultivation Simulator in a Chaotic World

The Water Mirror Sword Sect is guarded by a Black Tortoise Realm Cultivator, and the cultivation techniques and martial arts in its armory are superior in quality compared to those in the Wind Wolf Army, though lesser in quantity.

This suits Zhao Fu perfectly.

"Black Tortoise Realm powerhouses are rare across the Celestial Essence Realm."

"It’s inevitable, as their life level is equivalent to that of a Golden Core Master."

"To step into the Black Tortoise Realm in this world means you’ve comprehended your own Martial Dao at the very least."

"Every Black Tortoise Realm cultivator is a pioneering Grandmaster, and certainly not comparable to later Golden Core cultivators who relied on resources and luck."

"In the Lion Heart Empire, there are twelve Black Tortoise Realms in total, six within the Imperial Court and six outside."

"Only empires with double-digit Black Tortoise Realm cultivators can be called an empire."

"A dynasty must have at least one Black Tortoise Realm, and it must be a continuous lineage of Black Tortoise realm cultivate."

"The Dahai Dynasty just meets this requirement with two Black Tortoise Realm cultivators, Li Rucang and the Imperial Family Ancestor."

The scarcity of Black Tortoise Realms is also why Zhao Fu chose to travel the continent.

Although Zhao Fu is currently only at the Spiritual Martial Realm, he is invincible among his peers.

"This environment is the best for consulting with Black Tortoise Realm powerhouses."

If Zhao Fu were in the Lion Heart Empire, even with his revealed talents, he might be drawn into its power struggle.

He needs a larger stage, but before that, he must become stronger.

[As time passes, you gradually become a part of the Water Mirror Sword Sect.]

[The disciples have grown accustomed to your presence as the highly proficient Instructor Elder, resulting in other Instructor Elders having only those disciples who couldn’t squeeze into your lectures at their doors.]

[By the grace of the Ancestor, you can browse the sect’s armory without expending any contributions.]

[Numerous cultivation techniques and martial arts have been integrated by you with fluency.]

[At forty-two, you step into the Peak Spiritual Martial Realm.]

[All of the Water Mirror Sword Sect’s cultivation techniques are in your mind, with only three directly inherited techniques remaining.]

"Senior, you’ve come to find me?"

Zhao Fu respectfully bows to Li Rucang before him.

However, Li Rucang appears more than twice as old compared to seven years ago.

Zhao Fu knows clearly what this implies; Li Rucang’s lifespan is less than one cycle.

Li Rucang sighs once more.

"If only you were my disciple."

Saying this, he tosses out three secret scriptures.

"These are the sect’s three directly inherited cultivation techniques."

"Water Formless Technique, Mirror Flower Water Moon Sword, Stepping on Water Without Marks."

They respectively represent cultivation techniques, sword techniques, and body techniques.

These three symbolize the sect’s supreme techniques.

Only direct disciples and elders with great contributions to the sect are eligible to learn them.

Even Instructor Elders can’t view them.

Usually, they are personally taught by the Ancestor to the disciples.

"Such a pity, if only you were my disciple." Li Rucang shakes his head again.

He has said this hundreds of times over the past few years.

"This is the token of the First Elder." Li Rucang produces a token.

Zhao Fu doesn’t take it.

Li Rucang sighs, doesn’t insist, and simply retracts the token.

If Zhao Fu accepted the token, he would truly be a member of the Water Mirror Sword Sect, bound to care for the sect in the future.

However, it is a pity.

Zhao Fu is just an Honored Guest Elder.

If he was born in the Water Mirror Sword Sect, the entire sect would have ascended with Zhao Fu’s power later on.

But now, the sect merely bestows Zhao Fu with kindness.

Because Zhao Fu has other numerous choices.

"This old man will not retreat into seclusion henceforth, follow me closely."

Li Rucang plans to personally instruct Zhao Fu.

Enhancing Zhao Fu’s bond with the Water Mirror Sword Sect with this intention.

[A Black Tortoise Realm Martial Artist begins to wholeheartedly instruct you.]

[Your slight confusions regarding the Martial Dao are instantly resolved.]

Actually, Zhao Fu does have Black Tortoise Realm powerhouses around him.

For instance, the ancestor of the Zhao Family, that old idle fish.

However, it’s a pity the old idle fish has truly turned into a flat, laid-back fish.

Despite having a Black Tortoise Realm ancestor in the Zhao Family, it should have at least developed into a sect akin to the Water Mirror Sword Sect.

But the old idle fish has absolutely no such intention, and the Zhao Family believes the ancestor is merely a Spiritual Martial Realm cultivator.

The ancestor apparently suffered a major blow during the Dao Inference Sect’s division.

Faced with genius like Zhao Fu, he feels only helpless and resigned to protecting him.

Compared to the old idle fish, Li Rucang, the Water Moon Sword God, is a true mentor.

[You’ve learned three major directly inherited techniques, mastering them expertly.]

[When performing the Mirror Flower Water Moon Sword, sword qi transforms into a water mirror, causing the opponent’s mind to become disoriented, unable to distinguish the world. By the time they realize, their throat is already pierced by a sword.]

[At forty-six, the Three-Color Celestial Lotus appears.]

[You refine it.]

Li Rucang personally protects Zhao Fu during this.

Li Rucang no longer has room for advancement, and no disciple within the sword sect has the qualifications to inherit such a treasure.

Only Zhao Fu is most suitable to obtain such a supreme treasure.

The Three-Color Celestial Lotus appeared, and the powers of thunder, fire, and earth altered the terrain.

A veil of water manifested in the sky, concealing the anomaly.

Zhao Fu swallowed the Three-Color Celestial Lotus whole.

Instantly refined.

Radiant light appeared on Zhao Fu’s body.

Li Rucang’s expression changed.

"This is... the Five Elements Spirit Body!"

After all, the Celestial Essence Realm is a lower realm; even single-element spirit bodies are rare, and ordinary Five Elements Spirit Bodies are rarer.

Legend has it that there is a Five Elements Spirit Sect on the Western Continent, and their direct disciples must possess the Five Elements Spirit Body. They search across the east and west continents, and each generation of direct disciples never exceeds three.

"Wind and thunder?"

True Essence surged from Li Rucang’s body, and the projected water veil became denser.

Soon the anomaly dissipated.

Zhao Fu sat cross-legged on the ground, like a sculpture.

If a cultivator skilled in Pupil Skills were present, they could see the seven-colored flowing light within Zhao Fu’s body.

Wind, thunder, metal, wood, fire, earth—these six forces are refined through spiritual objects.

Only the last water attribute spiritual object remains.

Yet the operation of the Wind Thunder Five Elements Spirit Body does not destabilize the spirit body; contrarily, the other six spiritual objects indirectly enhance the power of Water Attribute True Essence.

[You continuously refine spiritual objects, a trace of spiritual light flashes in your mind.]

"Li Rucang!"

"Come and face death!"

Heavenly Thunderstorm struck the curtain of the sky.

Instantly, the howling of furious winds and dark clouds enveloped the sky, and cold winds roared.

Li Rucang’s face changed dramatically, taking flight into the sky.

In an instant, a flash of flowing light appeared.

The two engaged in fierce combat in the sky.

Shouts and cries echoed from all directions.

Then came the screams and howls of despair.

Blood and the flames of war quickly spread through the quiet-for-long Sword Sect.

The trace of spiritual mechanism within Zhao Fu dissipated because of this.

He suddenly opened his eyes.

.........

"Hahaha, Elder Wang, Li Rusong has already been entangled by Lord Qian."

"Could your Water Mirror Sword Sect possibly produce a second Black Tortoise Realm expert?"

Several corpses lay on the ground.

Blood gathered into small streams, flowing towards the edge of the cliff, then gradually dripping onto the wild grass leaves below.

A black-clad man’s face was wild with arrogance; his cultivation at the peak of the Spiritual Martial Realm was his source of confidence.

Over half of the Seven Elders had already been lost; even together they were no match for him.

The First Elder’s face reached a grim extreme.

The corner of his eye caught sight of the many disciples being slaughtered one-sidedly, with fury barely contained in his eyes.

Yet it was of no use.

All he could do was wait, wait for the battle above to conclude.

"Wait... what are you waiting for?"

The black-clad man revealed a sinister smile.

His body came whirling like a fierce wind, snatching up the First Elder from the ground, and tightly strangling his neck.

The First Elder’s cultivation was considerable, being the top swordsman of the sect under Li Rucang.

Yet, even the black-clad man in front of him could not be subdued by several Inner Sect Elders combined.

However, the next second.

"Boom————"

A blank-faced giant wielding a blunt sword smashed down like a cannonball.

As the blunt sword struck, the black-clad man actually flew backward.

"Vajra Sword Slave!" the First Elder exclaimed.

This was a martial artist taken in by the ancestor sixty years ago, seemingly having suffered a head injury, not only amnesiac but also with damaged spiritual wisdom.

Assigned by the ancestor to sweep the mountain paths, providing him a place to stay.

Only knew how to awkwardly practice swordsmanship, with a face like Vajra, hence called Vajra Sword Slave.

Unexpectedly, this child picked up without care turned out to be a master!

The elders helped each other, and with the Vajra Sword Slave’s aid, slew countless invaders.

However.

The next second, a storm swept through, the Vajra Sword Slave unleashed a sword slash, shredding his hand along with the iron blunt sword into fragments.

"Black Tortoise Realm! How could there be a second Black Tortoise Realm!"

The Black Tortoise Realm expert revealed his form, and fury was written all over his face.

"Fool!"

He shouted lowly.

His eyes flashed, intending to casually eliminate everyone before him.

Yet the next second, seemingly sensing something, he abruptly leaned to the side.

A sword light grazed his earlobe, slicing off half an ear.
