With Cultivation Simulator in a Chaotic World

"It’s Lingxiao Martial Venerable! The strongest, tied with Master White Crane at the top of the Heroes List!"

"However, Lingxiao Martial Venerable hasn’t made a move in a hundred years; Master White Crane is likely not a match for him."

"Two hundred years ago, the Great Moon Imperial Master Leng Cang ascended in the Eastern Continent; we haven’t had anyone ascend from the Western Continent for five hundred years."

"We should rejoice!"

All the martial artists were extremely excited.

Newcomers to the Martial Dao were incredibly thrilled as they watched the imposing figure surrounded by fierce wind in the sky, starting to imagine themselves achieving the same path someday.

Those who have mastered the Martial Dao stared intently at the Ascension Channel about to open, which was the long-cherished wish of all martial artists.

The nine sect leaders, except for the Mingwu Sect, sighed and chose to protect his path.

However, it seemed unlikely that anyone would interrupt a strong person’s ascension.

"Breaking the Void! Breaking the Void!"

"Ascension Channel, appear!"

Lingxiao Martial Venerable, towering in stature, his eyes shining with divine light, his Qi-blood surged like a furnace.

The Celestial Dome began to shatter.

A faint passageway appeared.

Rich Spiritual Qi diffused to the extreme leaked from the passage.

It’s the only evidence, a slight presence of Spiritual Qi convinces countless martial artists that it’s a dazzling Upper Realm with a martial path.

"Caw—"

A clear crane call sounded.

A black shadow rode a white crane, flying to the Celestial Dome.

"Master White Crane?"

"Don’t approach until the void is shattered, this place is too dangerous for you."

"I will advance first, waiting for you in the Upper Realm."

Lingxiao Martial Venerable, seeing Zhao Fu, doesn’t react much.

He was deeply impressed by this later generation.

Such a Celestial Pride, almost destined to be an Ascender.

Perhaps someday he could meet Zhao Fu in the Upper Realm.

Thus, Lingxiao Martial Venerable’s attitude was good.

However, Zhao Fu rode the white crane before Lingxiao Martial Venerable.

His body slowly rose into the air.

From above, he looked down upon Lingxiao Martial Venerable, and the entire Celestial Essence Realm.

"You cannot ascend."

Zhao Fu calmly said.

As soon as the words fell, the whole world seemed to hit the mute button.

Lingxiao Martial Venerable’s face slightly stiffened.

Then his facial muscles moved, saying: "Don’t joke at this moment."

"I’m not joking."

"Lingxiao senior, do you know, that Upper Realm..." Zhao Fu shared all he knew.

The reason was naturally Leng Cang.

Even because Zhao Fu reincarnated on the Witch Demon Continent for thousands of years, he knew much more than Leng Cang.

However, Lingxiao Martial Venerable’s face gradually turned unpleasant.

"You leave now; I might consider it a joke and won’t hold it against you."

Lingxiao’s reaction was within Zhao Fu’s expectations.

The idea of ascension has been solidified for thousands of years, deeply imprinted in the hearts of many martial artists.

Even mingled with their martial faith.

If someone told a religious believer their religion was a deceit.

The other’s attitude would hardly be good.

Zhao Fu sighed.

"I’ll say again, you cannot ascend."

"Not only you, but those in this world, cannot ascend!"

Zhao Fu’s aura was no longer hidden.

In an instant, his vast Qi-blood and True Essence, and his Martial Arts Primordial Spirit honed through martial trials.

At this moment, like a singularity, constantly distorting the surrounding space.

"Sword come!"

A long roar.

Golden light broke through the clouds.

A golden giant sword descended from the sky.

"Boom——————"

With a huge explosion.

Lingxiao Martial Venerable was slammed down fiercely.

"How is this possible!"

Lingxiao Martial Venerable roared unwillingly.

He was in a state of Breaking the Void.

Though his cultivation was still at the Black Tortoise Realm, his strength far surpassed it.

This is one reason Ascenders can break the void.

Yet in this state, he was cut down by Zhao Fu’s sword.

Zhao Fu’s words.

Echoed from the clouds above, reaching the corners of this world.

Because it was not just Zhao Fu’s will.

It was also the will of this world.

Zhao Fu stood before the Ascension Channel.

The Ascension Channel was like a giant vortex.

People could see the beauty of another world within the vortex.

That was the presence of the Dao.

However, before the channel, his slender body seemed like an insurmountable Buzhou Divine Mountain.

Zhao Fu wielded a Three-foot Cyan Blade, his black robe whistling.

"Zhao Fu, you’re defying the will of the Martial Arts Realm!"

"After ascension, there are endless martial paths."

"Zhao Fu, step aside!"

"Their ascension is none of your business!"

One by one, Black Tortoise Realm experts flew into the sky.

Mingwu Sect’s experts caught the somewhat embarrassed Lingxiao Martial Venerable.

Dozens of Black Tortoise Realm cultivators stood in the air, looking up at the slender figure.

Their eyes were filled with hostility.

"Martial artists ultimately speak through their fists."

"Today, I, Zhao Fu, break the Ascension Celestial Road here."

"Without my permission, you cannot ascend in the Celestial Essence Realm!"

"Why!"

"Just because of this sword!"

Wind, thunder, gold, wood, water, fire, earth

Their powers surged upward.

Raising Beidou Stars above, summoning the Five Elements of wind and thunder below.

Seven sword lights in the form of Beidou stars converged.

From above the Celestial Dome, they fell down.

Numerous Black Tortoise Realm cultivators dared not stand high in the air.

"I, Zhao Fu, defend the Heavenly Gate with this sword."

"As long as I exist, none of you are allowed to ascend."

From the sky, Flowing Light cascaded down.

Landed on Zhao Fu.

Yet in the eyes of countless martial artists, Zhao Fu was the villain severing the path to the Celestial Dome.

[You defend the Heavenly Gate with your sword, suppressing the entire Western Continent’s Black Tortoise Realm strongmen.]

[You’ve interrupted Lingxiao Martial Venerable’s ascension.]

[Your notorious name begins to spread throughout the Celestial Essence Continent.]

[Martial artists admire strength; although countless martial artists don’t understand your actions, ultimately, due to your power, some are willing to hear your explanation.]

[You recount your encounters with Leng Cang, combined with your experiences on the Witch Demon Continent, describing the ascension trap with embellishment.]

[Ascension conspiracy theories become popular across the continent for a time.]

[Some view ascension as myth; others believe in conspiracy theories.]

[In no time, the Jianghu is filled with disputes, with some even fighting over it.]

[Whatever ascension may lead to, your few truths remain.]

[Without the ascension of the strongest, and lacking the ongoing refinement by these top Celestial Prides on the Martial Dao, the pace of development in martial arts has slowed to the extreme, with little difference over eight thousand years in martial arts progress.]

[Even the Seven Extremes Divine Skill is still considered top-tier cultivation technique.]

[Some martial artists suddenly realize.]

[They are willing to believe you, to follow you.]

[They name themselves and you as Swordsmen, jointly exploring martial arts, vowing to strive for the Celestial Essence Martial Dao, rather than gambling on an elusive ascension myth.]

[Others, however, see you as the villain severing the Celestial Road, trying every means to eliminate you.]

[You merely find it laughable.]

[Laughable are those who follow you with ulterior motives.]

[Laughable is the firm martial arts belief in ascending.]

[You give no further explanations, choosing to reside on Celestial Dome Mountain between the Eastern and Western Continents.]

[If someone opens the Ascension Channel, this place can clearly sense it.]

[As time slowly passed, the Jianghu kept changing.]

[At the age of one hundred and eighty, you created the Martial Arts Golden Core Method.]

[At the age of one hundred and ninety, you created the Martial Arts Golden Body and Martial Arts Primordial Spirit.]

[Combining various martial arts, you summarized your techniques into three major laws: Martial Arts Golden Body, Martial Arts Primordial Spirit, Martial Arts Golden Core.]

[Integrating blade, spear, sword, halberd, staff, fist, palm, leg, claw, finger, secret weapons, Lightweight Skill, Pupil Skill, Primordial Spirit Technique, medical skills, you created the White Crane Treasure Manual.]

[The world loves and hates you, yet considers the three major laws of martial arts and the White Crane Treasure Manual as treasures.]

[Everyone is waiting for you, waiting for your demise.]

[However strong a martial artist is, they will eventually die.]

[Those strong enough to ascend enter a turtle-breath state, waiting for your demise.]
