With Cultivation Simulator in a Chaotic World-Chapter 269 - 240: Southern Wilderness

"Sir... the Black Bat is dead..."

In the boundless darkness, a respectful whisper rose.

"Is the task completed..."

Another voice spoke, seemingly unmoved by the so-called Black Bat’s death, only concerned about the task.

"The task... encountered some unexpected events, perhaps it’s done... the one from the Great Lii Divine Capital saw the Moon Demon, as for the others..."

A point of light appeared in the darkness.

"Hmm? Apart from someone from the Great Lii, a strong human? Could it be..."

A pair of crimson eyes suddenly opened in the darkness.

As these eyes opened, the surrounding darkness began to tear apart, with countless scarlet eyes hanging in the endless void like a sky full of stars.

The dim red light shone in the dark, illuminating a black-robed figure respectfully kneeling on the ground.

The black-robed figure remained motionless, like a sculpture, seemingly unaware of the surrounding bloody eyes.

Countless scarlet eyes slowly closed, and the place returned to darkness.

"For now, don’t worry about this matter..."

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

The sun was shining bright, and the spring breeze was gentle.

Grass grows, orioles fly, spring is endless.

Everything was so beautiful, if not for the few rotting corpses and white bones among the roadside weeds.

Jiang Ming kept a straight face, his green robe fluttering, a sword talisman faintly flashing at the sleeve’s edge.

With the sun concealed by a bamboo hat, Jiang Ming’s hands were behind his back, stepping out over ten meters at a time.

The Foundation Establishment Cultivation and the addition of the Flying Heaven Sword Talisman, combined with a special stepping technique exchanged from Pei Min, allowed Jiang Ming to have a ground-shrinking-like ability, albeit restrained to the ground.

If he were flying, Jiang Ming could be faster.

Yet the Great Lii ultimately differs from the Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm, making air flights conspicuous in Great Lii...

"After traveling for so long, I’ve finally left the range of Sea Suppression City..."

"This place is the southernmost city among the Twelve Main Cities..."

"Within the territory of Southern Wilderness City..."

Jiang Ming’s eyes slightly squinted, landscapes constantly retreating in his field of peripheral vision.

Southern Wilderness City, the main city guarding the Southern Border.

However, compared to several other main cities, Southern Wilderness City appears somewhat impoverished.

This can be easily seen from passing different locations.

"Roar—"

A ferocious roar came from within the forest.

Jiang Ming placed his hand on the sword sheath, the longsword unsheathed, a sword light slashing out, the sword light passing through the forest, without damaging it, precisely landing on a large tiger’s head through the gaps between trees.

"Ah—"

In front of the large tiger was a hunter, who instinctively covered his eyes, the fear of death robbing him of his ability to think and act.

Until a heavy thud echoed before him.

The hunter swallowed, realizing he seemed alright, then looked forward.

Only to see the once nearly ten-foot-high giant tiger had fallen, a longsword firmly lodged in its forehead.

"Has the Southern Wilderness fallen so low? Just a spirit monster dare harm people in the daytime."

A faint voice came from afar, as a green-robed man with a bamboo hat slowly emerged from the forest.

In just a few steps, the green-robed man reached the giant tiger.

With a pale hand not resembling a martial artist, he extended his palm, and the longsword flew back into its sheath.

"Thank you, Immortal Master, for saving my life!"

"Thank you, Immortal Master! Thank you!"

The hunter quickly reacted, promptly kneeling before Jiang Ming, kowtowing repeatedly.

The ground, mixed with stones and dirt, had little grassy cushioning, soon turning the hunter’s forehead crimson.

Jiang Ming was pondering how to make the most use of the giant tiger, frowning slightly at the sight.

A gentle force lifted the hunter slowly.

Their eyes met, the terror in the hunter’s eyes slowly fading into tranquility.

The eyes under the bamboo hat were like warm sunlight, encouraging relaxation.

But from the hunter’s gaze, Jiang Ming sensed absolute fear.

Fear...? Afraid of me?!

"You needn’t fear me so. I won’t eat you."

Detecting a change in Jiang Ming’s tone, a glimmer returned to the hunter’s eyes.

"Are you an Immortal Master from the north?"

"Oh? Is it that obvious?"

"My friend, would you be willing to tell me about the Southern Wilderness?"

Southern Wilderness, shorthand for the vast territory governed by the Southern Wilderness Main City and its various cities.

Originally, Southern Wilderness wasn’t part of Great Lii, but later joined it, keeping significant differences in customs and traditions.

While respecting the Divine Capital, the Southern Wilderness Main City remains somewhat arrogant, relying on Great Lii’s lack of interference; south of Southern Wilderness lies a limitless land of malevolent spirits.

If anything went wrong, even Great Lii couldn’t bear the consequences.

Of course, this information came from Jiang Ming’s reading.

What’s learned from books is always shallow.

Some things must be personally experienced.

What truly is the Southern Wilderness...

"Sir, this is all the information I know." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"I also know this Thousand Bird Mountain is under the Mountain Monarch’s domain, yet I have no means."

"In recent years, chaos in the forest has halved the birds and beasts, yet the required meats and furs haven’t decreased at all. If I fail to deliver, my family will suffer greatly."
