Chapter 232 Yuan Ling's Avatar
"Why pursue immortality when gaming is so much more fun?"
Alas, its talent for gaming was too poor, and its intelligence was clearly lower than that of number six. Even with skillful play, it was stuck in the gold ranks for the long term.
The Spirit Ginseng baby didn\'t mind this; it didn\'t play games to win or lose. As long as it could make all its teammates mute their mics, it considered that a spiritual victory.
Since it had no way to top up its account, when teammates couldn\'t outdo the Spirit Ginseng baby in insults, they started mocking it for being poor.
Until one day it heard a male teammate, eager to please, offering CP skins. The Spirit Ginseng baby felt like it had discovered a new world.
Transforming into a beautiful girl, it donned extravagant and noble palace attire, and with voice and video conveyance it floated with celestial grace. It sweetly called out to its "little brothers," melting the bones of netizens, and easily received many skins.
When Zhou Yi discovered this, he sternly reprimanded it, admonishing against doing wrong even in small ways, and forbade it from cheating with magic again!
But the Spirit Ginseng baby quickly found another way. It downloaded a video app, posted a few dance videos, and left its game account information. In just a few days, it had more digital currency than it could spend.
"Mortals are truly foolish; no matter how advanced technology becomes, they still crave those inner desires!"
Scanning the crowd of ghostly entities, the Spirit Ginseng baby said, "The Immortal Master has sent you here for a great mission to save humanity, which will be entrusted to your hands!"
The crowd of ghosts immediately became solemn, not daring to underestimate Kunlun Wonderland because of smartphones and games.
Compared to the sacred and mist-shrouded majesty that people imagined, the legendary place where immortals cultivated was indeed connected to the power behind dynastic succession in the Nine Continents.
Who says immortals can\'t game? This is what it truly means to be unfettered by worldly concerns, to follow one\'s heart.
When the strong do something odd, there will always be people ready to rationalize it perfectly for them!
"According to the rules of Kunlun, you are all granted one year of cultivation," said the Spirit Ginseng baby.
"After proving yourselves through cultivation, you will scatter into the Nine Continents, gather benevolent lost souls, and form into patrolling ghost soldiers responsible for suppressing malevolent specters and malevolent ghosts!"
"We will heed the Immortal Master\'s command."
The crowd of ghosts responded with a thunderous affirmation. In the mortal realm, there were already legends about an underworld, and this call to arms seemed similar to the duties of the judges and other officials there.
The Spirit Ginseng baby nodded slightly, solemnly adding, "Before we begin our cultivation, there is a very urgent matter that requires thorough investigation!"
The ghostly crowd listened keenly, afraid to lose this rare opportunity.
"Which ranks do you hold in the Glory of the Nine Continents game?"
"..."
The ghosts fell silent, unsure of how to respond. Some, like Professor Lu Yuan, had never played any games.
A ghostly figure with the look of a college student raised a hand and replied, "Immortal Master, I am at the rank of Emperor with fifty stars."
"Good!"
The Spirit Ginseng baby\'s eyes lit up as it pulled a magic artifact that resembled a smartphone from its sleeve and spoke seriously.
"I have a matter of great urgency that I need your help with!"
...
Everything happening in Kunlun Cave Heaven naturally couldn\'t escape Zhou Yi\'s Divine Sense.
After the magic artifact smartphone was successfully refined and the Formation and Prohibition that blocked signals were lifted, the intention was to expose the Spirit Ginseng baby to information from the outside world to hasten its intellectual development.
Who would have thought it would go astray!
Zhou Yi felt somewhat helpless. Even an immortal couldn\'t control the changes in human nature, much less the Golden Core.
"Well, at least it\'s become more lively."
"The Spirit Ginseng baby will instruct them for a year. Afterward, having inherited the traditions of the Ghost King Sect, they will be powerful enough to subdue common lost souls in just one year. Managing ghosts with ghosts and dividing up the lost souls saves a lot of trouble."
"The downside is that it requires a long time."
"The Nine Continents are vast, and the eighteen lost souls are like a drop in the ocean when scattered. Without trained ghost soldiers for patrolling, they can\'t cover a wide area in the beginning."
Zhou Yi\'s Divine Sense swept across Immortal Capital City and found a dozen or so malevolent spirits hidden in various secretive places.
Many of them were stained with blood and malevolence, clearly having consumed the life essence of the living.
"The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is so thin, yet so many lost souls have formed. It\'s different from the Age of Dharma\'s decline."
"In the era of revival, the Spiritual Energy is light and sprightly, intimate with living things, making cultivation far easier than in the past. Those old monsters who willingly sealed themselves are thinking of using the tide of revival to break through to even higher realms!"
"That being so, it also indicates that the Night Parade of a Hundred Ghosts is even more terrifying than in the declining years of the law!"
"Perhaps in the eyes of heaven and earth, the extinction of the human race is not a big deal; after all, countless years later, a new human race will still emerge..."
Zhou Yi, being a member of the human race, naturally thought that humanity was different from the others, but how could heaven and earth, which regard all things as mere straw dogs, treat any one race especially?
"Another reason is that the modern people\'s resentments and malevolent energies are growing heavier by the day!"
The ancient people, whose wisdom had not yet developed, were muddled and habitually endured submission passively; should they become vengeful spirits or fierce ghosts, they were inevitably the result of extremely vicious cases.
Over the past year, Zhou Yi encountered many souls, among which many ordinary people who died normal deaths had become fierce ghosts under the influence of Spiritual Energy.Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn
Reality exceeds dreams, desires outstrip possessions, the fast pace of life, increasingly fierce competition, the growing gap between rich and poor, the oppression of intangible material things all allow resentments and malevolent energies to breed in the depths of the heart.
"The more you know, the more pain you endure!"
Zhou Yi could be said to be the person who knew the most secrets in the Nine Continents. Even though he was proficient in Buddhist and Taoist scriptures and strove to maintain his nature, sometimes he couldn\'t help but fall into hardship and doubt.
For example, handing over machinery to Zhu Kang years ago and stepping into modern times over the course of several centuries was originally a very good thing.
As a result, with the initial revival of Spiritual Energy, the overabundance of ghostly entities occurred, and with the rise of modern firearms, the foundations of martial arts were severed, making Martial Artists arguably the fewest in history.
Under the mutual influence of the two, the number of people dying might not decrease.
"Every drink and every peck is predestined!"
Zhou Yi silently recited the Clear Mind Mantra, pushing down his fluttering thoughts; he wouldn\'t impose causality on himself.
At this moment.
Within the range of his Divine Sense, a retired professor from the history department of Immortal Capital University had died from exhaustion of his lifespan.
Zhou Yi had been secretly observing this man for a long time, his identity and profession were just right for the requirements, and finally, the day had come; he took out the divination cylinder and performed the Minor Severing Heaven Technique. Experience more content on empire
The Spirit Ginseng landed steadily on the ground.
"As a Daoist, I exist outside of predestined fate, I am that one who has eluded it!"
...
Immortal Capital Hospital.
Inside the special care ward.
Children and grandchildren formed a circle, their expressions filled with sorrow.
Students of the professor stood outside the ward to send off their teacher, among them was Xiao Ran.
On the sickbed.
The emaciated old man had few hairs remaining and his eyes peacefully closed, evidently, he had few regrets in life, clutching in his hand a peculiar Stone Bead, an ancient artifact discovered for the first time during an archaeological dig.
Seeming like a stone but not a stone, as hard as steel, it was difficult to determine its exact age.
Suddenly.
The Stone Bead flickered with a seven-colored light, a ray of spiritual light emanated, merging into the old man\'s body.
The children and grandchildren, who had their eyes fixed on the old man, naturally saw this strange phenomenon and were about to shout in astonishment.
The old man\'s eyebrows twitched, and he slowly opened his eyes.
A sharp gaze swept over his family members, a terrifying aura manifested, scaring them into silence.
"Where is this?"
His son answered tremblingly, "Immortal Capital."
The old man\'s brows slightly furrowed, then inquired, "Where is Immortal Capital located in which continent?"
"Cloud Continent!"
At this time, the Stone Bead was still shining with spiritual light, the withered hair began to grow back, the wrinkled skin quickly smoothed out, and in a blink of an eye, he went from an old man to looking in his fifties or sixties.
"How has only a little over a thousand years passed?"
Ignoring the fear of his children and grandchildren, the old man tore off the various equipment tubes, stood up from the sickbed, and declared,
"I am, Heavenly Monarch Yuanling!"
