YM778.TV Chapter 66
Seeing this scene, Li Yuechan was full of surprise.
Li Muyang simply nodded and said, “Yeah… I’ve finished what I was busy with, so I can continue farming.”
Li Muyang didn’t tell his sister what he had been busy with.
And his little sister didn’t pry too deeply.
This little sister had high emotional intelligence, and interacting with her made Li Muyang feel very comfortable, without much pressure.
Sitting on the ridge and chatting with Li Yuechan for a while, he listened to her talk about some interesting things in the Outer Sect, as well as Guan Xiaoshun’s recent breakthrough to the Qi Refining Realm Fourth Layer.
Li Muyang nodded and said, “Xiaoshun has always been hardworking, and his talent is not low, so it’s not surprising that he could break through to the Qi Refining Realm Fourth Layer.”
The high-grade spiritual rice he gave to Guan Xiaoshun last time had finally shown its effects.During the days Li Muyang was busy playing games, he had broken through from the Seventh Layer to the Eighth Layer of the Qi Refining Realm, and Guan Xiaoshun had finally reached the Fourth Layer.
Those ten jin of high-grade spiritual rice should be enough for the kid to push his realm to around the Seventh Layer of the Qi Refining Realm.
After that, with steady and solid cultivation for another year or two, Guan Xiaoshun should also be able to establish his foundation.
Li Muyang didn’t pay too much attention to this.
…….
Afterwards, his life returned to its previous comfort and leisure.
Every day he would farm, eat, sleep, and then play games.
After clearing the game this time, he obtained the achievement badge 【Trek through the Netherworld】
The BUFF from the achievement badge obtained by perfectly clearing the game could be used within the game.
Previously, in Black Cloud Village, the game character Jiang Xiaoyu’s status bar only had one 【Fate-Defying】, but now it had an additional 【Trek through the Netherworld】.
Originally, Li Muyang didn’t pay much attention to it.
But after being killed by Steward Wu again, Li Muyang noticed that the system’s damage settlement screen showed 20% less damage.
“…?!”
Li Muyang was stunned for a moment, shocked.
“F*ck? Is Steward Wu actually a ghost?”
The BUFF 【Trek through the Netherworld】 only worked on the deceased’s attack.
But the fact that Steward Wu’s attack triggered this BUFF… that was a bit terrifying upon closer thought.
It was a person who you’ve been around for a long time, but suddenly finding out that he’s actually been dead for a while…
Li Muyang was glad this was just a game.
If such a supernatural plot happened in reality, he feared that every hair on his body would stand on end.
And the fact that Steward Wu was actually dead gave Li Muyang a hint of how to clear the game.
If Steward Wu was dead, then what about the other demonic cultivators… were they also dead?
This felt like a key clue.
Li Muyang happily studied the problems with the Black Cloud Village instance.
Even though the lights appearing were becoming more frequent in the sky above the Demon Refining Sect, he didn’t care at all about the disturbances in the outside world.
……
To the east of the Demon Refining Sect, beyond the long stretch of mountains and plains, all the way to the coastline where the sea breeze howled.
A stream of light landed on the cliff by the sea.
Several figures were already there, all elders of the Demon Refining Sect.
Ge Hongshan, Qi Rui, Yan Xiaoru… six elders of the Demon Refining Sect were gathered together.
As Qi Rui descended with the light of escape and landed on the cliff, Ge Hongshan spoke first.
“Elder Qi, you’ve finally arrived.”
The mature and graceful Qi Rui, dressed in palace attire, smiled and said, “Elder Ge and fellow elders, what’s the situation now?”
Yan Xiaoru, dressed in black and with a cold expression, said coldly, “The sect master just left, and it seems the situation is not optimistic.”
In front of the elders, a white fog shrouded the entire sea, impenetrable even to high-level cultivators.
This Sea of Mist has always been a forbidden area for cultivators.
It looks calm and gentle but can swallow any cultivator who enters it.
However, the usually calm and gentle mist was no longer gentle at this moment.
The vast white fog was rolling and surging violently as if a tremendous force was stirring in the depths of the mist.
A sinister and cold eerie breath continuously spilled out from the mist.
Ordinary people might just feel cold, but to the elders of the Demon Refining Sect, the cold breath emanating from the mist was chilling to the bone!
They seemed to see endless terrifying ghosts struggling and howling in the mist, longing to come into the world to drink the blood of the living.
Ge Hongshan frowned as he gazed at the ceaseless rolling fog, saying, “After the incident with the Flesh and Bone Spirit Puppet last time, I went back and looked through ancient texts.”
“It is said that during ancient times, there was no fog over the Sea of Mist, and monks who sailed could come and go freely. But at that time, the land was filled with strange and evil spirits, which even cultivators found difficult to resist.”
“Later, the fog descended, engulfing the entire ocean, and cultivators could no longer step into the sea.”
“Within the sea swallowed by the fog, it is said that there was an ancient divine nation. The people of that nation were born extraordinary, all being half-human, half-divine beings. They perished within the capital as the fog descended, all turning into resentful spirits.”
“If these once half-divine beings, now resentful spirits, were to surge out, the population under the rule of our Demon Refining Sect would suffer heavy casualties and death!”
Ge Hongshan furrowed his brows and added, “I hope those resentful spirits head towards the territories of the righteous factions. If too many mortals under our rule die, next year’s tax revenue will take a big hit.”
Ge Hongshan shared the ancient legend he had unearthed from the old texts.
However, the other elders were noncommittal about this claim.
All this talk of an ancient divine nation and half-divine resentful spirits… Ge Hongshan just loved to believe in these mystical and babbling things.
Although the elders didn’t believe Ge Hongshan’s words, looking at the violently churning fog before them and the chilling aura continuously spilling out from within, all the elders present understood one thing.
Whatever was inside the fog, it was definitely not benevolent.
In a mysterious Sea of Mist that devoured cultivators and where no living beings could be found, one could only imagine what might come out…
Just the thought of it was enough to unsettle any cultivator.
Qi Rui, observing the constantly rolling white fog and feeling the cold and eerie aura in the air, asked, “Where has the sect leader gone?”
Yan Xiaoru, with a cool expression, glanced into the distance and said, “The sect leader has gone to negotiate with those righteous factions. He wants to make a temporary truce with those groups of people to deal with the strange beings in the fog together. From the current situation, if the things in the fog come out, it will be a disaster for both the righteous and demonic paths.” Yan Xiaoru explained.
Beyond her gaze, tens of thousands of li away on the same coastline, the cultivators of the righteous path had already set up a grand formation, ready for battle.
The increasingly intense activity within the fog was declaring to the world that a terrifying disaster was about to descend.
It could even be a disaster that would affect the world…
……
On the other side of the Sea of Mist, in the Heavenly Origin Dynasty, the Demon-Suppressing Masters from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau had almost all mobilized, arriving at the seaside in a grand procession.
These fearsome Demon-Suppressing Masters, who were dreaded by many, now watched the Sea of Mist with vigilance and unease, wary of the strange movements deep within the fog.
……
Deep within the fog, in an ancient and mysterious city that had been untouched by humans for who knows how many years, gloomy white mist drifted, and ghostly shadows moved listlessly through the city.
In this world devoid of any life or hope, in the dark alleys, the body of a young man suddenly stood up, breaking the silence of the city.
Three ghostly shadows wandering outside the alley seemed to sense the presence of a living being and drifted towards the alley.
When the mysterious visitor who had returned to life caught sight of the three ghostly shadows, he seemed startled.
“…Are these the three thugs from the beginning of the game?”
