The players in the old shop progressed much faster in the game compared to the players in the new shop.
“The Legend of the Sword and Fairy 4 is a story about their search for immortals before they battle with the demon realm?” Jiang Xiaoyue was also livestreaming.
“Yohahaha! They are having so much fun!” Beside her, the big white deer had just arrived at the Jimo Lantern Festival and was enjoying itself.
“But the Qionghua Faction isn’t as good as I imagined.” Jiang Xiaoyue had progressed faster in the game. By now, she had returned to Qionghua after experiencing many events in Jimo.
By now, the Qionghua Faction had discovered Han Lingsha’s identity; she was a tomb thief, which immediately strained the relationship between the faction and her. On the other hand, the battle between the Qionghua Faction and Fantasy Netherworld was drawing near.
The first half of the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 4 was an uneventful Xianxia story in which the young people searched for immortals and Dao and helped the weak and the innocent together. They grew up as they met different people and experienced different things as bystanders.
While touring the world and experiencing life, the young people grew out of their innocence and began to consider the differences between humans and demons, right and wrong, and the meaning of life.
People would change and mature as they got more worldly experiences. Their views on the world were no longer simple and naïve.
For example, Murong Ziying, who was born in Qionghua, always followed the principle that demons were evil and must be eliminated.
Yun Tianhe gradually grew out of his confusion and innocence and began to form his own ideas on many things.
Perhaps there was no division between right and wrong most of the time; the difference lied in the different perspectives and choices.
Above the Cloud Platform, the gate to the netherworld opened again, and the promise that they made at the Jimo Lantern Festival which stated they would stay together all their lives wasn’t realized.
Liu Mengli finally confirmed her identity as a demon in the Fantasy Netherworld and left with sadness, returning to the netherworld reluctantly.
Maybe one day, they would face each other as enemies in the battle between the Qionghua Faction and the netherworld.
…
Outside the forbidden zone where Xuan Xiao was sealed in ice, the players finally heard the truth about the Qionghua Faction and the netherworld 20 years ago from the faction master.
Faction Master Su Yao instructed the disciples to read the confidential information in the faction scrolls and told them the truth of that battle.
“With astonishing talent and a lifetime of hard work, Daoyin Spiritual Master, the 20th master of our faction, finally understood the secret method of ascendance in his last years of life; this method requires the combination of the forces of a Yin sword and a Yang sword as well as the support of the disciples. From then on, the faction put in three generations of manpower and materials and finally made the Xihe Sword and Wangshu Sword.”
“Yin and Yang swords must be merged with the users, and the process usually takes years. On the other hand, the ultimate spiritual essence needed for the dual swords to ascend is too much for humans to cultivate. Daoyin Spiritual Master considered this for a long time and found a miraculous place while he observed the stars. This place has abundant spiritual essence and is perfect for us since it is useful to us, and we should be able to control it. However, this place belongs to the netherworld which doesn’t allow us to use it…”
“With excellent talents, Disciple Xuan Xiao and Su Yu were chosen to be the hosts for the dual swords. Three years later, the netherworld, which opens every 19 years, opened again. Xuan Xiao and Su Yu launched the dual swords and froze the netherworld to activate the powerful spiritual essence. However, the netherworld resisted us stubbornly and even killed Taiqing Spiritual Master, the 24th faction master, causing a long-lasting fierce war.”
“At the critical moment, Su Yu, the host of Wangshu Sword, became afraid and escaped with her lover and senior brother, Yun Tianqing, bringing her sword with her. Xuan Xiao, the host of the Xihe Sword, couldn’t control the netherworld all by himself. In the end, the netherworld got away from Kunlun Mountain. In the battle, more than 100 elite disciples died…”
This was the battle between humans and demons in the opening cinematics at the beginning of the game.
…
At this moment, the major streamers in the old shops had almost all come to this part.
In fact, the first half of the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 4 wasn’t difficult, so the players other than the elves who paused to enjoy the views had almost the same progress in the game.
“Oh… since humans can’t travel to the netherworld, if we want to find Mengli, we need to go to the ghost realm and find the Shadow Branch which can travel through any barriers?” In Su Tianji’s livestream, Elder Su looked amazed. “Then, I must take Lingsha and Ziying to the Buzhou Mountain and find the path to Inconstant Hall, right?”
“What is Buzhou Mountain…?” The players in the new and old shops were all curious. “The mountain is so powerful that it can even support the sky? Such mountains exist?”
By now, the name of Su Tianji’s livestream room had been changed into [Elder Su takes you to tour Buzhou Mountain].
At the same time, the big white deer had come to the shop early today and was exiting from the game when it saw this idle elder livestreaming. “Princess Xiaoyue, come and watch Elder Su’s livestream!”
“Ugh? Elder Su is livestreaming again? For some reason, I’m always worried that she will fall from her sword when flying with a leap of faith whenever I watch her livestream.” Murmuring to herself, Jiang Xiaoyue moved to watch the livestream.
Meanwhile in the Half City Shop, the Almighty Smirk Face Emoji was also livestreaming with the room named [The Tour of Buzhou Mountain].
“It’s said that this is the mountain that supported the sky in ancient times.” In the Half City Shop, a black cloud hovered above a computer desk with a virtual reality headset. “There might be many unknown dangers, but do you think I’ll be afraid of them? Today, I’ll bring you guys to tour this Buzhou Mountain and see what’s inside of it.”
As fans of scenery and nature, the elves hadn’t reached this part yet but didn’t want to miss the tour. Immediately, they began to watch Helen’s tour of Buzhou Mountain.
Buzhou Mountain. Bu meant not, and Zhou meant complete. Therefore, Buzhou Mountain meant Incomplete Mountain.
In the world where Fang Qi had lived before he traveled through time, there was a legend that had circulated for countless years. In the story, Gong Gong, the God of Water, crashed onto Buzhou Mountain and caused the collapse of the sky pillar, which led to the huge flood all over the world. However, this story was new to everyone in this world.
Standing on flying swords, they traveled north from the Qionghua Faction and arrived at the land of mythology half an hour later.
They stopped their flying swords on a mountain peak and looked forward. The gloomy sky and dark boulders made this place look like a wasteland full of ominous presences.
In this desolate land, there were no plants growing in it.
Near their landing spot, a dark, evil, and filthy presence swept over to them. Not far from them was a pile of skeletons, and among the bones stood a purple heavy sword that had a weird shape.
Red light flashed on the sword, making it look extremely fierce and dangerous.
“What’s this?” For players in the new shop, this sword looked strange and dangerous.
