With Cultivation Simulator in a Chaotic World-Chapter 230 - 220: The Truth (Part 2)

And all around, there was silence.

Pei Min suddenly raised his head, wanting to see clearly what was on the moon.

An aged, withered palm gently tapped Pei Min’s body, and Pei Min felt an enormous power protecting him, preventing his gaze from attracting the attention of certain existences...

The moon, let’s call it the moon, as referred to by Venerable Wood Dragon, the Ancient Moon.

The Ancient Moon was like the moon of Pei Min’s past life, with many craters and a bright surface.

However, this Ancient Moon was so large that it seemed about to fall onto Sword Mountain River. The distance between Sword Spirit Heaven and the Ancient Moon was too close.

Close enough that Pei Min could clearly see the objects on the Ancient Moon.

Pei Min’s pupils almost shrank to a pinpoint.

On Sword Mountain River, invincible on all sides, vanquishing ten thousand enemies, the most dazzling genius on the Sword Dao, Pei Min, trembled all over, his mind blank.

If it weren’t for Venerable Wood Dragon’s palm beside him, Pei Min might have collapsed to the ground.

The heart protected by Vast Sword Intent was shattered in an instant.

On the Ancient Moon, a gigantic figure sat cross-legged on the ground.

The giant had an ancient-looking hairpin and was dressed in a white robe.

It was like an enlarged cultivator.

He was handsome and graceful, like an Exiled Immortal described in storybooks.

But his legs were nailed to the moon crater, with numerous indistinct shadows gnawing at his hair, face, and flesh...

Half of his face had already dissipated, yet Pei Min could discern from the wounds that his flesh resembled gold and jade.

His head drooped and his eyes were closed, appearing dead, but Pei Min could sense vitality from him.

Even more formidable was the impact from the level of life he emanated.

A phrase flashed through Pei Min’s mind.

Deity, cannot be gazed upon.

Cannot be gazed upon

A mortal gazing upon a deity will go mad directly because they cannot withstand the unconsciously emitted power, and the deity wouldn’t care.

Yet now Pei Min, as a Golden Core Master, also had this feeling; if it weren’t for Venerable Wood Dragon’s protective power, Pei Min couldn’t imagine his condition.

"Divinity Transformation?"

"No... Immortal!"

A celestial corpse being devoured by unknown creatures...

"That is..."

In mid-air, there was a grand sculpture standing before Sword Mountain River.

The sculpture had a stony texture, but it seemed to have weathered long years of wind and rain, with its features blurred and details worn smooth, barely discernible as a sword holder.

Around the sculpture, numerous sword lights twinkled like stars, and only then did Pei Min notice that the Ancient Moon was hanging above Sword Mountain River, with the black creatures gnawing the celestial corpse being drawn by Sword Mountain River’s gravity, falling onto Sword Mountain River, yet intimidated by the sculpture, not daring to approach, most black creatures withdrawn, while a few continued to fall towards Sword Mountain River.

And many sword cultivators were slaying those black creatures that tried to fall into Sword Mountain River...

"Hoo—hoo—ha—" Pei Min, like a man just escaped from drowning, suddenly fell to the ground, gasping for air.

"You have good qualities; typical mid-stage Golden Core cultivators would temporarily faint after experiencing the baptism of an Immortal Demon Corpse..."

"That... that is..."

Pei Min’s meaning was clear; he wanted to inquire about the sword holder sculpture.

Venerable Wood Dragon, whose expression had been calm, showed a change in expression for the first time.

"That is... the last hope of Sword Spirit Heaven..."

"Burning the last Fire of Hope with the fuel of thousands of sword cultivators..."

"What..." Pei Min was stunned, wanted to ask more, but Venerable Wood Dragon shook his head.

"What you wanted to say earlier... why the existence of peak Golden Core sword cultivators, Nascent Soul Sword Venerables, Sword Masters, is so low that they are forgotten by the world..." Venerable Wood Dragon’s eyes showed a hint of movement...

"That’s because everything they were... was dedicated to Sword Spirit Heaven..."

"The longer they stay in the Reflection World, the weaker their presence in Sword Spirit Heaven becomes."

"The Sword Masters have suppressed the Reflection Sky for thousands of years, so naturally, they do not appear in the mortal world..."

"Only those who reach mid-stage Golden Core are qualified to be attracted by the Reflection World, to perceive those sword cultivators whose presence in Sword Spirit Heaven is not strong anymore..."

"And only sword cultivators can save Sword Spirit Heaven..."

"Because only sword cultivators have the qualification to become the fuel of the Fire of Hope, to harness the power of the Fire of Hope, to slay the black insects..."

Pei Min was silent; he looked skyward.

He saw more.

That sword holder sculpture called Fire of Hope seemed to be incessantly absorbing everything from the surrounding sword cultivators, not just Essence, Qi, and Spirit, but also longevity, existence, emotions... everything.

Only relying on the massive resources provided by Sword Mountain River can ensure their expense balance, but some things are irreparable.

And that sword holder sculpture was always intimidating those black creatures called black insects.

Even its body was constantly gathering brilliance.

"Boom————"

A sword light, like an Energy Giant Cannon, slashed towards the Ancient Moon.

This sword light exceeded Pei Min’s imagination, and even a Nascent Soul Sword Venerable in its presence might not escape.

However, when the sword light fell on the Ancient Moon’s celestial corpse, it merely faded the black cover slightly, with no other movement.

"This is other information... Rest for a while..."

"Come again next time, and fight."

Pei Min had just summoned the Peak Sword, and the Sword Intent on his body exposed its sharpness, but it was suppressed by Venerable Wood Dragon’s hand.

He handed Pei Min a Spiritual Jade Pendant, propped his cane on the ground, and the world spun.

A subtle sound of busy sword cultivators emerged around, dispelling the previous deathly silence, infusing vitality instead.

Venerable Wood Dragon had already vanished.

Pei Min looked at the Record Jade in his hand, somewhat silent.

"Greetings to Elder Pei."

"Elder Pei..."

The Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivator and Qi Refining Sword Cultivator nearby all saluted.

Pei Min was the highest-ranking master they could see regularly.

Pei Min was somewhat silent at this moment; unlike his usual responses, he directly returned to his residence.

"Ancient Moon Immortal... also known as... Immortal Demon Corpse."

"According to ancient records... Immortal Demon Corpse is transformed from an escaped immortal demon listed on the God-Demon List of Jiuzhou..."

Jiang Ming’s eyes widened suddenly.

"God-Demon List!"

"Jiuzhou!"

Having stayed in Sword Spirit Heaven for so long, Jiang Ming still heard about Jiuzhou for the first time.

Indeed, although Sword Spirit Heaven is one of the top Pocket Worlds, it is still attached to a Pocket World within the Jiuzhou World...

Yet... Jiuzhou and Sword Spirit Heaven seem to have no direct contact...

Jiang Ming continued reading.

"As for what Jiuzhou is, what the God-Demon List is... none knows..."

"It’s only known that the Immortal Demon Corpse on Ancient Moon increased the mass of Ancient Moon, hence Ancient Moon started moving towards Sword Spirit Heaven..."

"Approximately... twenty thousand years ago..."

"In the previous era, the strongest Black Sea Sword Master merged his Immortal True Spirit with all beings above Golden Core to create a sculpture, which held back Ancient Moon’s fall."

"Black Sea Sword Master... a true reincarnation of a Sword Immortal, and rumored that Sword Spirit Heaven was originally the domain of this Sword Immortal."

"Originally, Sword Spirit Heaven also changed due to this Sword Immortal’s teachings, differing from ordinary worlds... This Sword Immortal died unexpectedly, his true spirit fell into Sword Spirit Heaven, attempting to reincarnate, hoping to live a second life, to ascend the Immortal Sect again... However, his path was thwarted, Black Sea Sword Master didn’t want Sword Spirit Heaven destroyed, sacrificing his Immortal True Spirit... blood sacrifices all beings, but for the sake of all beings..."

"And the Immortal Demon Corpse attracted countless creatures from the void to feast..."

"To fend off the creatures, Sword Mountain River was established..."
