– In the Legend of the Sword and Fairy Communication Group –
Tang Yu asked, [I say… do you guys want to come to the Spiritual State for fun?]
The idea mentioned by the few grand cultivators in their chat group somehow had spread to the disciples of the Heavenly Academy.
They didn’t know if the news were true or not, but this idea inspired these young people and made them think.
Fifth Prince Ji Yang chimed in, [ Why don’t you come and tour our Dajin country?]
Xu Zixin chimed in, [Yeah, the Spiritual State is too far away.]
Black Demon said, [Come to our Half City.]
Song Qingfeng refuted, [ People get beaten while walking on the streets in Half City. Who would want to go there?]
Sitting before a computer in Half City Shop, Black Demon’s lips twitched while he stomped his foot. [You bunch of little b*stards, do you dare to come? I’ll give you a good beating!]
“…”
Xiaoyue said, [Sister Su said that she will come to the Spiritual State and visit me! ]
“WTF?!”
“I’m going too!”
“Count me in!”
In the Jiuhua City Shop, Xue Daolv, the Master of the Liuyun Daoist Palace, put down the virtual reality headset and yelled at Su Tianji, who was sipping milk tea and watching her vegetable garden while talking on QQ, “Junior Sister, do you plan to visit the Spiritual State?”
“Yeah. I’m bored of sitting in the shop or in the faction every day. I plan to take a trip,” Su Tianji said, “Isn’t it a good idea to visit Xiaoyue in the Spiritual State?”
Gongshu Kuo who was playing StarCraft heard this astonishing news. “It’s so far away; it will take a long time even if you travel with the sword control technique. Considering the dangers on the way and in the deep ocean, I, an experienced old man, don’t think you can cross that sea realm.”
Stroking his long beard, Gongshu Kuo continued, “That sea realm is extremely dangerous. An ancestral master from Yundian Upper Realm had the wild idea to go there but never came back.”
“It’s said that that sea realm calms down a bit every 3,000 years. Even powerful people from the outside world must take this opportunity to travel across the ocean. I’m afraid that we can never go out.”
“Really?” Su Tianji looked reluctant and [@Mr. Fang] in the Legend of the Sword and Fairy Communication Group
Now, the people in the shop were all talking about this topic and even pulled Mr. Fang into it.
The people from different shops only knew each other through the internet and had never seen each other before. Some of them wouldn’t have known that there were places such as Half City and that there were divisions such as the Deserted Sea Realm and the Spiritual State if they hadn’t talked to these people from those places.
In the past, they had thought that the land before them was the whole world.
But now, they discovered that there was another vast continent beyond the ocean, which was more real than the imaginary worlds in the games.
They had indeed discovered a new continent!
…
While some players planned to go out of the internet café and tour the Spiritual State, the Heavenly Academy faced the greatest crisis in its history.
“The murderous spirit is so thick!”
“Look! What’s that?!”
At this moment, the elders of the Heavenly Academy had just finished lecturing, and disciples were walking out in twos and threes. When they looked up, they saw black clouds filling the sky above the Heavenly Academy and huge shadows slowly piercing the mountain-like clouds. A black dragon-shaped bow appeared from the surging clouds.
Then, a huge ship appeared; it was pitch-black, and the golden lights that it reflected made it look like a huge monster coming from the clouds.
The clouds had distorted shapes of monsters and devils, and a flash of sharp blade energy occasionally revealed itself.
Heaven-piercing bestial roars came from the spiritual ship as if a demonic god had come down to the world!
On the spiritual ship, a banquet was being held with dances, songs, wine, and pretty girls. Several people sat in the cabin on the top of the ship, and their clothes looked extremely luxurious; the best one could get in this world.
However, they looked gloomy and cold at this moment.
“What? The Jiang Family of Snow Nation declined to come, claiming that they don’t attend events of humans?” Nangong Lin walked over, asking, “And two ancient families only sent elders here?”
“Hmph! These old guys will regret their decisions after today!” Then, he sat down.
“Master of Nangong, what do you mean by this?!” one of the guests asked in a cold voice.
Driving a spiritual ship into the sky above another force was declaring war!
“Nothing,” Nangong Lin laughed and said. “I only invited you guys here to watch a good show!”
Behind him was a tall man wearing strange-shaped black armor and a cloak. Nangong Lin turned around and acted very respectfully toward this guy.
“Nangong Zhuo?!”
They saw that guy was Nangong Zhuo.
However, his face seemed longer as if it got extended, and his eyes looked pointer. Overall, he was like a stranger-looking Nangong Zhuo.
“Qing… Ming.” His voice was deeper than Nangong Zhuo’s, and he sounded rusty as if he hadn’t spoken for tens of thousands of years.
It seemed like he had changed into another person.
Nangong Lin laughed and said, “This kid is lucky that the Saint Ancestral Master is willing to borrow his body!”
“Of course, you might be unfamiliar with this name, but this saint ancestral master is the host of the Immortal-Hacking Sword Array thousands of years ago.”
“What’s happening?!”
“What?!”
“Didn’t that ancestral master of your family die in that battle?!”
The guests exchanged a horrified look since this man’s presence sent chills down their spines.
It wasn’t a human’s presence!
Nangong Lin laughed and said, “Saint Ancestral Master, please remove the obstacles for our Heaven-Seeking Sword Palace!”
“Hurry! Activate the protective grand array!” In the Heavenly Academy, the elders felt tinges on their skin while watching this horrible scene.
“Isn’t this the Heaven-Seeking Sword Palace’s spiritual ship?! What do they want?!”
“Where’s the Old… Old Academy Master?!”
“He’s in the internet café!”
“Where’s … the Vice Academy Master?!”
“The Old Academy Master took him to learn how to play StarCraft…”
“…” Elder Yu immediately took out his communication jade and sent messages frantically.
“Why aren’t they returning the messages?!”
In the Yuanyang City Shop, a white-haired old man was pointing his fingers on the crystal screen inside the commander center.
“How long can it last?” Elder Yu felt a bit calmer when he looked at the dense pale blue spiritual patterns in the sky.
“It will take the Heaven-Seeking Sword Palace more than a month to break the array!”
Elder Yu nodded, “I’ve sent messages to the elders and the academy master, asking them to return as soon as possible.”
The moment that he said it, he heard an alarming shout, “Look up at the sky!”
An ugly, distorted black sword mark appeared in the sky, and the spiritual ship of the Nangong Family was sailing through this crack.
On the spiritual ship, maids brought out platters of spiritual objects looking like fruits; these fruits had a green jade surface and were fiery red inside.
One of the elders of Heaven-Seeking Sword Palace said, “These are Red Puti, a spiritual fruit that takes 1,000 years to bloom and another 1,000 years to mature. Please enjoy them.”
Then, they saw the sight outside the spiritual ship.
The masters of the ancient families began to watch.
