man stepping into this scene would melt away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Jiang Ming felt not the slightest desire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, it’s not that Jiang Ming lacked such desires, but the Meditation Technique allowed him to govern his desires with his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ming employed the Celestial Demon Heart Devouring Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around him appeared a shadowy figure almost identical to Jiang Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The figure inhaled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then everything around was absorbed by this figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the Celestial Demon, the Celestial Demon of Lust, cultivated by Jiang Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint sense of coolness soon followed, a feedback from the Celestial Demon to Jiang Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the surrounding world began to spin again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No way...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ming suddenly had a premonition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, in the next second, a massive treasury appeared before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, countless resources were piled up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides mundane gold and silver treasures, there were innumerable cultivation resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Various millennium-grade herbs, mountains of Extreme Yang Essence, and even some Magical Artifacts were present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another Celestial Demon appeared beside Jiang Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Celestial Demon inhaled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything around was swallowed by the Celestial Demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ming wasted no time, straightforwardly summoning the Celestial Demons of Lust, Fear, Greed, Grief, and Pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Jiang Ming did not fully activate the Celestial Demon Heart Devouring Technique to summon the additional Divine Buddha Celestial Demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Jiang Ming anticipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The upcoming scenes were related to Fear, Grief, and Pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Endless terrifying scenes appeared, with various fearsome and hideous things seemingly not of this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were beloved items lost, as if to ignite the grief in Jiang Ming’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were millions bowing, and himself standing arrogantly above them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But all of these were swiftly absorbed by the Celestial Demons nurtured by Jiang Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This Heart Demon Barrier...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ming murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet after the five scenes, reality did not return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, a brand new scene appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, constantly reciting the Meditation Technique in his mind, preparing vigilantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment, Jiang Ming found himself in a stretch of starry sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Jiang Ming, a spherical, indescribable entity appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed to bear great terror, carrying all the emotions of the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with the Meditation Technique, Jiang Ming didn’t dare to look recklessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It appeared capable of shattering the sanity of all sentient life, a great terror indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ming’s mind stirred, fully activating the Celestial Demon Heart Devouring Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gigantic Golden Buddha appeared behind Jiang Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slender, arms entwined with countless golden chains stretched out, piercing directly through this spherical being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding scene changed once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning into nothingness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ming opened his eyes, exhaling a breath of stale air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sensations of his body returned, he, awakened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What met his gaze was the utterly bewildered expression behind the mask of the middle-aged man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was sitting atop a lotus seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, a sound echoed around, the same as before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heart Demon Barrier clearance time: fifteen minutes and three seconds, new record for the Twelve Main Cities of the south.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heart Demon Barrier result: Supreme.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Third Heart Demon Barrier, cleared.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Jiang Ming instinctively said, \"I actually spent more than fifteen minutes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had felt in the dream that it passed swiftly, the Celestial Demon was powerful, each inhalation cleared a layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man was frozen like a statue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Jiang Ming’s words, the corners of the face behind the mask twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few breaths, he barely managed to say, \"The Dream-Entering Incense takes about a quarter of an hour to lead to the Heart Demon constructing the dreamscape...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man steadied himself against the wall, looking at Jiang Ming as if seeing a monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Passing the first five dreamscapes, regardless of time, counts as a pass.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Beyond that, it’s a matter of how much time it took.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyone who passes the sixth dreamscape achieves a Supreme result, never doomed to fall, qualifying for entry into the core of Great Lii.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know how many years it takes for someone to achieve Supreme in the Third Heart Demon Barrier in the Main City?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why did you come to my small Evergreen City, you should go to the Main City!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s where you truly belong!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man barely composed himself, wiped the sweat behind his mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze towards Jiang Ming had completely changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, excitement filled the middle-aged man’s heart again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ming’s future was already bright, entering Chaofeng Pavilion in the Main City was almost assured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the one who guided him into Chaofeng Pavilion, could there be few benefits?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come, let’s enter the final trial.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once you complete the final trial, you can join the organization, becoming a Night Watcher.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Night Watcher?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, telling you now doesn’t matter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you think Chaofeng Pavilion has no internal divisions? All Martial Artists recruited externally first serve as Night Watchers, seeking out and eliminating or reporting malevolent entities in the city.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now even if your final trial score is zero, it won’t matter, your overall evaluation is exceptional.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pah, pah, pah, anyway, no one’s final trial score is zero.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Jiang Ming, come on, the final trial.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man smiled, leading Jiang Ming to a secret chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the center of the chamber was another Crystal Stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this Crystal Stone glowed with a flame-like, scorching brilliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just like the first trial, placing your hand on it is all you need,\" said the middle-aged man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fourth trial, Heart Lamp, begin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Jiang Ming placed his hand on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything around turned pitch black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And all sound vanished along with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A glimmer of light appeared before Jiang Ming, then disappeared swiftly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately afterward, the surrounding brightness reappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gaze behind the middle-aged man’s mask was now full of astonishment and shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this moment, the announcement sounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fourth trial, Heart Lamp Barrier, not ignited, failed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ming frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked towards the middle-aged man with some confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man murmured, \"How could it be...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could it be...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ming asked with a slight frown, \"Senior, what’s wrong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man sighed, touched his heart, then said, \"How much do you know about Immortal Masters?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Immortal Masters don’t appear out of nowhere, they’re evolved from Martial Artists.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Martial Artists ignite the Heart Lamp using scorching Qi-Blood to light the Heart Flame, allowing them to advance to Immortal Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After advancing, Immortal Masters are imbued with True Essence and awaken various abilities to manipulate the Power of Nature, greatly enhancing their power.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our Great Lii relies on Immortal Masters to stand firm in this world overrun by malevolent entities.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But igniting the Heart Lamp is more than ten times harder than breaking through to Martial Arts Hall Master; nearly all Martial Artists only attempt it after refining their Qi-Blood to the utmost.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Heart Lamp Barrier assesses your chances of advancing to Immortal Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jiang Ming... you essentially have no chance of becoming an Immortal Master...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man’s gaze was complex.\u003C\u002Fp>",1187,"2026-06-03T11:55:46.476Z","2026-06-03T11:55:52.287Z",1,"novelbin.me","da79d07d5b11aa7efb8ba15e9565d849394952a065ae753bd7fa92ce0bb1813a","with-cultivation-simulator-in-a-chaotic-world-chapter-41","with-cultivation-simulator-in-a-chaotic-world-chapter-39",535,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwith-cultivation-simulator-in-a-chaotic-world-cover.jpg"]
