With Cultivation Simulator in a Chaotic World-Chapter 241 - 226: Cultivating for 300 Years

"Yes, Elder Pei, the Broken Cocoon Alliance did not interfere with this Demon Calamity."

"Even they were affected by this Demon Calamity..."

"Elder Pei, continue investigating what’s unusual over there. The Demon Calamity affects these places overall, no matter how many you turn over, you must find its origin..."

The voice on the other end of the Communication Jade Pendant was resolute and cold.

Pei Min nodded, quietly gazing at the Imperial Capital below that looked maddened.

With one hand extended, he gently sliced.

Green Fall Sword flew forth, transforming into a phantom shadow, and soon splitting apart, forming thousands upon thousands of sword shadows behind Pei Min in less than a breath.

"Suppress."

Green Fall Sword flew downward, each sword nailed a creature.

"Demon Calamity... is indeed rare..."

Pei Min murmured.

He slowly descended to the ground.

The souls of all creatures around were locked by Green Fall’s shadow, losing any autonomous abilities, and those humans or animals trying to attack Pei Min from high places fell like objects.

Pei Min casually grabbed a person, his Divine Sense pierced into their soul.

"The soul doesn’t show much abnormality, yet the behavior is completely altered... Strange, indeed strange..."

"Wrong... Although the soul hasn’t changed, its memory is sealed, and a new layer of memory is coated over it, this technique..."

Pei Min pondered for a moment, then his Divine Sense turned into a sharp sword and pierced into the person’s soul.

The Divine Sense Sword shattered the ’false memory layer’ on the soul’s surface.

The person in his hand groaned and slowly awakened.

Fear, at its core, comes from the unknown, even the fear of death stems from the unknown regarding death.

As long as one is strong enough, knows enough, the things that can cause fear to a Cultivator will diminish continuously.

"This... Where is this, ah!!!" 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Pei Min found it noisy, so he casually knocked him out again.

"Greetings, my lord!"

"My lord! You have finally come to see us!!"

Several figures stumbled from behind a wall, crawling and tumbling to Pei Min’s feet.

Despite their diverse clothing and demeanor, a shared expression of joy at surviving graced their faces.

"You all are quite lucky, tell me everything you know..."

The scholar in green robe immediately recounted in great detail everything he knew. The others, eager to impress Sword Mountain River’s lord, chimed in with various details. They hailed from different places, with experiences plenty enough to pen a thrilling novel.

Pei Min’s mind instantly formed a map of the Demon Calamity.

The affected area includes the Great Yan Sword Dynasty and several surrounding Mortal Dynasties, covering a considerable range. The Flame Sword Dynasty’s territory is seven or eight times the size of the Mortal Empire’s Extreme Wall, with many small nations around it, affecting a population of over three billion.

Crucially, this Demon Calamity’s origin is not within the Broken Cocoon Alliance.

Sword Mountain River, though bearing the pressure of Ancient Moon Void Black Worm, truly lacks an enemy in Sword Spirit Heaven, even the Broken Cocoon Alliance operates within Sword Mountain River’s control range.

This time, however, this Demon Calamity is completely outside Sword Mountain River’s control.

Upon acquiring this information, Pei Min’s mind raced with location after location.

His eyes suddenly gleamed as he transformed into a white light, streaking towards the sky.

......

In a mountain forest, blood-colored beasts were crawling mindlessly, seeking targets to devour.

The next moment, the beasts and the forest were wiped away by a storm.

"Found it, the origin place of Demon Calamity..."

Pei Min’s Divine Sense swept across the small mountain, which he had plowed through with a storm of Sword Qi.

"This is..."

Pei Min entered a cave in the cliffside.

His expression gradually stiffened, turning unsightly.

Ahead, an altar hid deep within the cave.

Regarding the so-called altar, Pei Min felt no traces of Spiritual Qi upon it; it was merely a pile of stones with no hint of Extraordinary Power interference.

Yet above the altar lay a figure with their chest split open.

"Qingling..." Pei Min uttered these two words.

The figure resembled the girl Qingling, seemingly used as a sacrificial offering.

There were bite marks on her body, and a half-eaten liver lay before the altar.

Beneath the altar lay a multitude of bones, based on their shape and size, likely from underage children, predominantly girls.

Such a bloody ritual is rare among the various Sword Dynasties in Sword Spirit Heaven, uninvolved with Extraordinary Power, relying solely on primitive practices.

It bore some resemblance to the ancient human sacrifices from Pei Min’s distant past life.

"Indeed... The flames of civilization enlighten all beings, yet with the power of the extraordinary, people’s focus gradually shifted towards the extraordinary... They no longer heed these trivialities..."

"Just unexpected that it is her..."

Pei Min turned around to see a gray-clad middle-aged man clutching his forehead in an exasperated manner.

"This is her secret? She died like this? So you must kill her?" Pei Min turned, inquiring.

The gray-clad man approached, as Sword Qi clashed and erupted into massive sparks, consuming everything in the cave.

"Not so... It’s that no one or creature can consume her..."

"Consume her?" Pei Min was taken aback.

The gray-clad man sighed, saying, "What do you think she is, able to continually appear in Sword Spirit Heaven? Do you think Void Black Insect remnants can only appear as spiritual materials?"
