With Cultivation Simulator in a Chaotic World-Chapter 312 - 261: Grand Elder (2)

The voice of Blood Bright Daoist grew louder and echoed throughout the sect, as everyone acknowledged the presence of the Golden Core Ancestor with respectful gestures.

Even the two Golden Core Masters deep within the sect opened their eyes, their Divine Sense probing towards the location.

"I will not pursue your past, but you must swear not to harm Blood Demon Sect," Master Blood Bright gazed deeply at Xiang Wuji.

As the Golden Core Master most familiar with Xiang Wuji, he could discern the true Foundation Establishment technique Xiang Wuji practiced.

Yet, it was pointless to dwell on such matters.

"I will kill anyone who obstructs my path to power."

"That’s sufficient..."

[In Year 11,380 of the Changtian Calendar, you became the Grand Elder of Blood Demon Sect.]

[The following year, many disciples harboring Gu Insects were uncovered within Blood Demon Sect, secretly reporting to the Righteous Dao and Demon Dao Alliance. The Danyang Cultivation Realm was instantly plunged into chaos.]

[Strong individuals across major sects were identified, with numerous Gu Insects found within their bodies, permeating not only the sects but also the Cultivation Dynasty and several Loose Cultivator strongholds.]

[Turmoil spread throughout the Danyang Cultivation Realm, yet you remained indifferent and continued your cultivation in silence.]

[In Year 11,390 of the Changtian Calendar, sensing the impending storm within the Danyang Cultivation Realm, Blood Demon Sect sought self-preservation by initiating marriage alliances among the Four Great Demon Sects to strengthen mutual ties. Each sect had its strengths, complementing one another with minimal resource conflicts.]

[You were specifically summoned to partake in a marriage alliance, initially wanting to reject the notion and reprimand the cultivators who proposed it.]

[The following year, you became Dao Companions with Jing Xueqi, the daughter of the previous Sect Leader of Thousand Ghost Sect, with no other choice given the abundant offerings from the other party.]

[In Year 11,392 of the Changtian Calendar, leveraging the resources brought by Jing Xueqi, you exchanged for a wealth of resources from the renowned commercial alliance Heavenly Dao Alliance, successfully coalescing your most suitable Fake Core—the Blood Spirit Fake Core—pushing your cultivation to the brink of Golden Core.]

Jing Xueqi, despite possessing Foundation Establishment Cultivation, was extremely frail.

She often appeared sickly, though to others seemed strikingly beautiful like an Ice Beauty, but to Xiang Wuji, she was merely a weakling.

[After becoming Dao Companions with Jing Xueqi, you did not approach her, possibly due to your disinterest in romantic affairs or perhaps because someone else lingered in your heart.]

[Though labeled as Dao Companions, your relationship with Jing Xueqi was cold and distant, akin to strangers.]

[Conversely, your disciple Cai Teng was heavily favored by you, gaining prominence within the sect, while the world referred to Jing Xueqi as an unloved ailing bride.]

Jing Xueqi was indeed beautiful, yet lacked any Blood Qi.

This alone was enough to deter any Blood Demon Sect disciple from feeling any desire in her presence.

Blood Demon Sect disciples craved blood and vitality, yet Jing Xueqi suffered from anemia, having achieved Foundation Establishment solely thanks to the courtesy extended by the current Thousand Ghost Sect Leader to the old Sect Leader for past favors, granting Jing Xueqi resources without restraint.

Thousand Ghost Sect was skilled in Ghost Control, and the sect’s core secret technique, when cultivated to Great Success, allowed the soul to leave the body and become a Ghost Cultivator upon death.

Rumors suggested that within Thousand Ghost Sect’s sect secret realm, a thousand-year-old Ghost King guarded the disciples.

Jing Xueqi lay on her couch, her frail and pale complexion evident even through her white garments.

Jing Xueqi, incredibly thin, coughed into a handkerchief, a spot of bright red appearing on the cloth immediately.

"Miss..." A figure clad in a red wedding dress suddenly appeared beside Jing Xueqi, her expression rigid and dazed, hand suspended in the air, unsure how to comfort Jing Xueqi.

This was Jing Xueqi’s life-bound ghost, Bing’er.

Bing’er’s cultivation was significantly higher than Jing Xueqi’s.

Bing’er’s body hesitated, her mouth slightly agape, somewhat dazed as she leaned in, meeting Jing Xueqi’s eyes.

Bing’er was puzzled, noticing many incomprehensible emotions in Jing Xueqi’s gaze.

Jing Xueqi suddenly sat up, gasping heavily as if awakening from a nightmare.

"Wuji, Wuji! Hurry, find Wuji! No, where is this? Bing... Bing’er? You’re alive?!"

In Jing Xueqi’s eyes was a profound shock, mixed with various complex emotions.

"I..."

Bing’er stepped forward, releasing a wisp of Essence Ghost Qi from her mouth, nurturing Jing Xueqi’s body, calming her down.

"How long have I been married to Xiang Wuji?"

Jing Xueqi spoke calmly, Bing’er was taken aback, feeling her master seemed different than before, yet she was still her master.

"One year, three months, and eleven days," Bing’er counted on her fingers.

"Hmph, he must be going to save that little tramp next," Jing Xueqi snorted softly, her tone filled with resentment.

"Let’s go, find Xiang Wuji."

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

Xiang Wuji stood upon a high platform, reciting the improved Blood Demon Technique, although inferior to the Blood Spirit Scripture, it was still a grade higher than the original Blood Demon Technique.

Currently, Xiang Wuji had only imparted the Blood Spirit Scripture to Cai Teng and a few direct disciples designated by Blood Bright Daoist.

As for the few Golden Core Masters? Xiang Wuji had long offered the Blood Spirit Scripture to them.

The disciples below listened intently, enraptured; everyone present was at least Late-Stage Qi Refining elite within the sect, and even some Foundation Establishment Elders were engrossed.

"We bid farewell to the Grand Elder!"

Seated at the front, Cai Teng rose, saluting respectfully.

Many disciples only then awoke from their trance, rising and respectfully stating: "We bid farewell to the Grand Elder."

Xiang Wuji stepped down from the platform, his brow slightly furrowing.

"Why are you here?"

Jing Xueqi coughed twice, a smile appearing on her gentle face.

"Is it not permissible for Xueqi to seek out her husband?"

Xiang Wuji’s gaze chilled slightly, his hand like lightning shot out, grasping Jing Xueqi’s pale wrist.

Dominant True Essence and Divine Sense surged into Jing Xueqi’s body, scrutinizing her inside and out.

Afterward, Xiang Wuji slowly released her wrist, indifferent to the hint of blush on her face.

"You weren’t possessed, why are you acting differently today?"

Xiang Wuji spoke calmly.

Jing Xueqi was taken aback, then replied: "Awakened my constitution, my mind has become clear."

"As for calling you husband, are we not Dao Companions?"

Xiang Wuji raised his brow, then said: "As you wish."

"Husband, can we speak in private?"

Xiang Wuji’s eyes flickered with a trace of curiosity, but he didn’t refuse.

[Later that June, Jing Xueqi’s behavior suddenly turned peculiar.]

[She spoke to you about several places, claiming they were treasure locations containing what you needed, causing some doubt as some places were beyond the Danyang Realm.]

[Jing Xueqi additionally left two Record Jades for you to review in the future, then requested to return temporarily to her parental home.]

[You approved.]

[Three months later, a new Demon Thought in the Blood Demon Heart Palace was activated.]

[Named Master Hongru.]

Master Hongru’s face was upright, his aura righteous and bright, wearing a Confucian robe and holding a scroll, distinctly unlike a Demonic Thief.

"Are you the Blood Lord of this generation?"

"Surely you are wise, I will impart you a technique, when your cultivation achieves Great Success, return me my second life."

Master Hongru stepped from the shadows, the three within the Blood Demon Heart Palace curiously watching him.

"The first technique I will impart is the Qi Devouring and God Swallowing Technique, a top-tier Divine Sense cultivation technique."

"However, this technique requires a Spiritual Object to bear it, you may not be able to cultivate it quickly..."

Xiang Wuji’s expression turned peculiar, saying: "This Spiritual Object, is it called Heart Blood White Crystal?"
