Chapter 67: Qi Yuan: I Am the Moral High Ground!
Chapter 67: Qi Yuan: I Am the Moral High Ground!
Qi Yuan's thoughts turned to the Divine General as he considered his next move.
[White Day Ascension Platform: Killing the Divine General on the Ascension Platform will grant control over Heaven's Extinction.]
It seemed that the NPC hadn't lied.
"Good, I accept the challenge!" Qi Yuan said, gripping Xiao Jia's hand tightly.
He had to bring Xiao Jia along, or else she might stumble and fall again.
The last time, during his battle with Burial Flower, he hadn't brought Xiao Jia. When he saw her later, she had probably stumbled several times, covered in dust and dirt, looking pitiful.
The Golden Armor Divine General turned to Qi Yuan, his voice booming, "Battle rises, death never ceases!"
With that, Qi Yuan witnessed a staircase appear on the Ascension Platform.
Boom, boom, boom! The sound of a giant beast's footsteps reverberated through the ground as the staircase extended, reaching from the sky to the earth.
After about a quarter of an hour, the staircase reached Qi Yuan's feet.
A towering staircase connected the heavens to the underground.
Counting them, there were precisely one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred steps.
"Climb the stairs, and the battle begins. The winner advances to the next level," the golden-armored man explained the rules.
Qi Yuan didn't rush to climb but instead asked, "Can I rest in the middle?"
"After each victory, you can descend the stairs, but you must not stay in the outside world for more than a day, or you will be forcibly summoned!
Remember, one year in the game is equivalent to one day in the outside world."
"Oh, that's fine," Qi Yuan said, feeling relieved.
He looked at Xiao Jia, a smile on his face, "This time, I'll fight alongside you."
He added another sentence in his mind.
"I'll fight alongside everyone in the Five Elements Forbidden Zone and the Yin-Yang Forbidden Zone."
With these one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred battles, he would hone his combat experience and refine the insights gained from the 84 people he had fought and gained insights from.
His battle with Burial Flower had given him many insights.
And ascending the White Day Ascension Platform would be an excellent opportunity.
He lacked combat experience, but this should help him improve, right?
Moreover, after experiencing so many battles and killing so many monsters, he should gain a significant boost, shouldn't he?
With these thoughts, Qi Yuan stepped onto the first level of the staircase.
His field of vision instantly transformed.
He felt as if he were standing on the Ascension Platform.
Qi Yuan scanned his surroundings.
He realized that his current location resembled a colosseum.
Surrounding the colosseum were tens of thousands of seats.
The seats were arranged in tiers, some luxurious and others ordinary.
It seemed that in the past, people had watched gladiatorial battles here!
But now, the colosseum was empty, devoid of any spectators.
This made Qi Yuan, a member of the Society of Light, feel a bit more at ease.
"It's good that there's no audience; otherwise, it would be embarrassing."
Just then, the sound of a massive heartbeat reverberated.
Qi Yuan saw a bare-chested, robust man, resembling a sumo wrestler from a prosperous nation, charging towards him.
It wasn't a living creature but a residual image, or perhaps... a monster that provided experience!
"Xiao Jia!"
Qi Yuan and Xiao Jia merged.
He closed his eyes.
At this moment, he was no longer himself; he was Long Pan.
Insights should come from the strong.
Long Pan's memories and combat experiences flooded Qi Yuan's mind like a gushing spring.
In this state, he forgot his own techniques.
He imagined himself as Long Pan.
If he were Long Pan, how would he face this enemy?
Then, Qi Yuan moved.
He turned his back to the burly man.
Reaching behind him, he grabbed the man's neck.
With a swift throw, the man crashed to the ground.
Blood splattered, staining the colosseum red.
Qi Yuan emerged victorious in this battle.
He opened his eyes, reflecting on the gains and losses of the fight.
"Why did I fight with my back turned?"
"Was it to turn my back on the world?"
"It's quite stylish."
"Oh, no, it's because he's blushing!"
Qi Yuan suddenly realized the key to his victory.
After the first victory, the second battle commenced as Qi Yuan stepped onto the second level of the staircase.
Another enemy appeared, this time a ferocious beast resembling a crocodile.
Qi Yuan closed his eyes once more.
...
After some time, Qi Yuan exited the game.
He went out for a stroll and, upon seeing Jiang Ling Su, blurted out, "Junior Sister, you've gone green!"
At that moment, Jiang Ling Su wore a light blue skirt, and her hair had transformed into a ramen-like style, adorned with lush green leaves.
The leaves were dense and vibrant.
Qi Yuan even noticed small flying birds nesting in her lush foliage.
Jiang Ling Su glared at Qi Yuan, "You're the one who's green! These are Wood Essence Crystals, valuable items!"
On this day, the Divine Light Sect was shaken once more!
Many cultivators began growing green sprouts and leaves on their heads and other body parts.
Initially, chaos erupted within the sect, and some suspected foul play.
However, the sect leader intervened, explaining that the appearance of a Wood-attribute treasure might be the cause of this phenomenon.
The cultivators of the Divine Light Sect finally calmed down.
Many began searching for the Wood-attribute treasure, while others discovered that the green leaves and grass growing on their bodies were Wood Essence Crystals, beneficial for cultivation.
Consequently, some cultivators harvested and sold the Wood Essence Crystals, while others absorbed them.
The Wood Essence Crystals from the beautiful female cultivators fetched sky-high prices and were especially popular.
Qi Yuan felt jealous, his teeth grinding in frustration.
He was the one who had created these Wood Essence Crystals, yet others were profiting from them.
He even contemplated secretly knocking out those cultivators and shaving off the Wood Essence Crystals.
But upon reflection, he realized it was just jealousy, and he had his principles.
He couldn't bring himself to do it.
Otherwise, he might end up creating a bunch of Azure Dragon White Tiger Monks and Nuns.
Could I still remain in this sect?
"Junior Sister, the Wood Essence in your body, could you give some to me?" Qi Yuan looked at his junior sister, asking tentatively.
Jiang Ling Su's face immediately flushed, "No."
"Junior Sister, I saw many people selling it outside..." Before Qi Yuan could finish his sentence, Jiang Ling Su interrupted him.
"Get lost!"
This Wood Essence was connected to her body, and to a certain extent, it could be considered an extension of her body. How could she possibly give it to someone else, let alone a man?
However, she glanced at Qi Yuan, and a deep confusion flashed in her eyes, "Senior Brother, the bloodstain on your body has become quite heavy recently."
"Huh?" Qi Yuan recalled the game, where he had challenged the White Day Ascension Platform and killed countless creatures.
Because each step of the staircase not only represented one enemy but could also be a group of enemies.
Could it be that the killing intent and bloodstain in the game would also affect his real life?
"Is it that heavy?" Qi Yuan asked anxily.
Jiang Ling Su nodded, "If you weren't hiding on the Seven-Color Peak every day, I would even suspect that you secretly went out one day and wiped out an entire sect."
Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan was taken aback, "How dare you accuse me of such a thing! I didn't destroy the Black Mountain Sect!"
Jiang Ling Su smiled, "Who knows? Maybe you sneaked out, took your knife, and killed everyone in the Black Mountain Sect."
Qi Yuan's eyes turned cold instantly, "Junior Sister, you know too much!"
For some reason, Jiang Ling Su felt a chill in her heart.
Looking at Qi Yuan, she felt a hint of fear in her heart, but she still spoke, "Senior Brother, I don't know why you have such a strong bloodstain.
But it's best if you disperse or hide this bloodstain.
Otherwise, it won't be good for your cultivation, and you might be plagued by inner demons.
More importantly, if you encounter some eccentric powerful cultivators, they might take it upon themselves to act on behalf of heaven and eliminate you."
Thinking of something, a trace of fear and resistance flashed through Jiang Ling Su's heart.
She knew such cultivators.
They belonged to the same organization.
The people in this organization hated evil with a passion, but their reputation wasn't very good."
They called themselves the Justice Messengers, but their actions were extremely domineering.
Once, a cultivator had swept through a bandit stronghold, but when he encountered someone from that organization, he was killed because his bloodstain was deemed too heavy.
In their eyes, their definition of justice was the only true justice.
They decided who was guilty of excessive killing, and they would eliminate that person without asking for reasons.
"What? There are people like that who want to subdue demons and eliminate evil spirits?" Qi Yuan was stunned and felt a bit unsteady.
Jiang Ling Su was speechless.
She really couldn't understand how such a problematic senior brother could have such a heavy bloodstain.
Could it be that playing games too much would also affect reality?
"There are indeed such people, and not just one, but an entire organization.
Senior Brother, do you still want to go and wipe them out?" Jiang Ling Su smiled.
"They aren't as weak as the Black Mountain Sect. There are at least two powerful cultivators at the Divine Infancy Realm."
Hearing this, Qi Yuan sat on the ground in a daze, "I'm so useless and weak. I can't even kill those despicable people overnight and wipe out their entire sect."
However, thinking of something, Qi Yuan said, "Such despicable people, I should unite with the righteous cultivators and eliminate them!"
Jiang Ling Su was already accustomed to her senior brother's eccentric train of thought, and she enjoyed bantering with him, "Righteous cultivators won't do. They represent justice, and they often do evil in the name of justice."
"Standing on the moral high ground?" Qi Yuan asked.
Jiang Ling Su's thoughts turned, and she understood Qi Yuan's intention, "Yes."
"Damn, you're copying me! Only I can stand on the moral high ground! Humph, those who learn from me will live, and those who resemble me will die! If I weren't the leader of this organization, they would be finished! Even if I become the leader, I'll expel those evil and rebellious people from the human race!"
Expel from the human race?
Jiang Ling Su was stunned, "Senior Brother, you're so ruthless!"
"By the way, what's the name of this organization?"
"Palace of Light."
"Palace of Light? Why don't they call themselves the Society of Light?" Qi Yuan muttered and then said, "I've remembered them. Don't let me meet them, or they'll have a hard time."
However, after saying this, Qi Yuan became a bit worried. He leaned closer to Jiang Ling Su's dense ear and said, "Junior Sister, their sect doesn't have a Primordial Sage, right? They might have sensed that I just mentioned them."
"..."
Qi Yuan heaved a sigh of relief.
That's good.
But he still felt uneasy, "Will they suddenly come to the Seven-Color Peak?"
"No." Jiang Ling Su felt that she shouldn't have told her senior brother, as it had scared him.
Hearing this, Qi Yuan's heart settled, "You're right, I need to get rid of this bloodstain."
However, Jiang Ling Su said in a low voice, "I heard that someone from the Palace of Light has come to the Great Shang Dynasty and seems to be involved in the Dragon Seizing Competition."
"What?" Qi Yuan was shocked.
"It's fine, he's not very strong, just at the Foundation Establishment level."
"No one else came?"
"No."
At night, Qi Yuan returned to his room and couldn't sleep well.
However, remembering that he hadn't completed the game yet, he decided to put this matter aside for the time being.
After all, he stayed on the Seven-Color Peak every day, so what were the chances of encountering such busybodies? Moreover, he hadn't even met anyone from the Palace of Light, so he wouldn't stand on the moral high ground out of embarrassment.
But the Black Mountain Sect was different.
Recommendation: High Martial World, obtaining a Water Snake clone, evolving from a Water Snake into an Immortal Dragon.
