Chapter 220: The Old Sect Master’s Relic
Song Jiulai’s thoughts were quite good.
As expected, the unexpected still happened.
This unexpected event didn’t occur in reality, but within the game’s Secret Realm.
The darn Secret Realm closed!
Song Jiulai had just spotted a few new Black Blood Lions.
when she was abruptly notified by the System: “The Secret Realm is closing. Prepare to be teleported out.”
“No.” Song Jiulai was stunned: “How could it close?”
System: “External forces are forcibly interfering with the Secret Realm. The Secret Realm is affected and is forcibly closing. Three, two, one…”
The closure came so suddenly, catching everyone completely off guard.
And in another place, a thousand miles away.
Within the Sect City of Xuecang Sect, someone hesitated and said, “Is doing this really okay?”
“There’s no other way. Its reaction was too abnormal. Something must have happened in this Moonlight Secret Realm, so we can only temporarily close the Secret Realm to investigate. We must prevent any accidents.”
“We still don’t understand the true reason for the formation of the Moonlight Secret Realm. If forcibly closing it causes trouble for future entry…”
“Then we can’t worry about that.”
Someone’s gaze drifted towards the towering pagoda that seemed to connect heaven and earth.
“It hasn’t been calm for several days now…”
***
Let alone Song Jiulai not knowing.
Lin Yuyu and Zhou Nüzi, who were also kicked out, were equally bewildered.
They were in the middle of a Task, so why were they suddenly kicked out of the Secret Realm?
Although the System said it was because the Secret Realm was closed.
the current opening period for the Moonlight Secret Realm was clearly not enough.
Lin Yuyu and Zhou Nüzi sent messages in the world chat. Song Jiulai, remembering she still needed to make a Puppet, prepared to return to her Sect.
As soon as she hit the road, she remembered the Black Blood Lion Puppet she had just acquired.
Because the System had delivered some unfortunate news.
When exiting the Secret Realm from the Shuitan, the Cold Pond Bird’s head, which had been normal in the Small World, became polluted upon reaching the Yunzhou Continent.
What about the Black Blood Lion?
She summoned the Black Blood Lion.
The lion’s eyes were vacant, appearing like a normal and majestic Demonic Beast.
But the moment it appeared, Song Jiulai personally witnessed its body begin to mutate.
It started transforming into the Black Blood Lion from Song Jiulai’s memory.
—It was as disgusting as it could get.
Song Jiulai felt like the sky was falling.
She immediately released control of the Black Blood Lion Puppet and burned it to ashes with a single fire.
“Damn it!!”
Song Jiulai wished she could kneel and cry out to the heavens: “How did my majestic and valiant lion turn into this? Is the air on the Yunzhou Continent poisonous?”
If it wasn’t poisonous, how could she explain that after being fine in the Secret Realm, it was like the sky was falling upon exiting.
The System also muttered, “It is quite strange. Does this prove that the Demonic Beasts on the Yunzhou Continent weren’t like this before?”
Song Jiulai was taken aback.
Indeed.
The Cold Pond Bird seen at the Shuitan was like this, and the Demonic Beasts she saw were also like this.
However, human thought processes are not the same as the System’s.
Song Jiulai suddenly said, “Then I understand why there are those wild historical rumors about Demonic Cultivators.”
System: “What wild history?”
Song Jiulai: “Isn’t it said that Demonic Cultivators are born from Humans and Demonic Beasts? If Demonic Beasts were normal before, it wouldn’t seem impossible…”
The System was silent for three seconds: “It’s best not to spread such rumors, lest the Demonic Cultivators find out, and you’ll be hunted.”
“If Demonic Beasts weren’t like this, then with so many people entering the Moonlight Secret Realm, didn’t anyone mention this situation?”
Since the Moonlight Secret Realm appeared, with so many Cultivators and Disciples, across dozens of Small Worlds, has no one ever mentioned this situation?
Records of Demonic Beasts only state that their history is long and they have always been at odds with the Human Race.
Song Jiulai had always thought Demonic Beasts were like that from the beginning.
This question couldn’t be answered immediately.
She transformed into someone else’s appearance and returned to Wang’an County.
Entering Wang’an County again, Song Jiulai couldn’t help but sigh: “Amazing, this is truly aiming for both ancient style and modernization.”
The architecture was antique and charming.
But setting up a statue with a fountain in the central street, wasn’t that a bit too shameful?
And how could a building plaque like ‘Longevity Sect Office’ be so brazenly displayed outside.
Did they still care about the prestige of their Cultivation World!
The System reminded her: “Someone has arrived in Wang’an County looking for you. It’s the Female Cultivator from Liuyun Sect who said she knew the Old Sect Master of Longevity Sect.”
Song Jiulai immediately remembered.
It was the Female Cultivator Han Tian met at Liuyun Sect.
She said she had something to give to the current Sect Master of Longevity Sect, but didn’t give it to Han Tian at the time, only saying she would come to Wang’an County. She didn’t expect her to arrive now.
The core Sect of Longevity Sect was still on the mountain and hadn’t moved down yet.
This Female Cultivator came to Longevity Sect asking for Song Jiulai.
At the mountain gate was only Su Daqiang, whose skin was finally slightly blue.
Su Daqiang scratched his head, seeing the Female Cultivator in front of him asking if the Sect Master was in the Sect, “Senior, I don’t know if our Sect Master…”
“I have already returned.”
A clear and ethereal voice echoed from within the Sect, as if amplified by a sound card.
The effect was wonderfully dreamlike.
“Please invite her in.”
Su Daqiang’s eyes lit up: “Senior, you’ve come at the right time. Our Sect Master has returned. Please come in.”
Fu Lanze nodded.
Internally, she felt puzzled by the disciples of Longevity Sect.
Since she arrived, both inside and out, although everyone could see her Cultivation was higher than anyone else’s.
they didn’t show any fear.
And they seemed surprised by her inquiry about the Sect Master.
They kept pointing at her from a distance.
It was somewhat disrespectful, but after all, it was on their territory, so Fu Lanze couldn’t make a scene.
She didn’t know that in this Game, she was the first person to seek out the Sect Master. The Players suspected Fu Lanze had something to do with the main quest and were secretly observing her—what the Players thought was secret.
Fu Lanze followed a faint aura and entered Longevity Sect, to Song Jiulai’s residence.
Her current residence was no longer the New Disciple Recruitment Area.
So it had been tidied up and turned into an ordinary courtyard.
Upon entering, Song Jiulai was meditating. Seeing Fu Lanze arrive, she smiled slightly: “I heard Senior was looking for me?”
She could sense the aura of this Female Cultivator.
With her Sea of Consciousness now expanded, she could vaguely sense that the Female Cultivator was still a whole major level above her.
A Golden Core Stage expert!
However, Fu Lanze’s external pressure wasn’t that strong, clearly having restrained a portion of her Golden Core aura.
That’s why the Players dared to be so bold.
Fu Lanze looked Song Jiulai up and down: “You are now the Sect Master of Longevity Sect? You are indeed… very young. It seems he found a very satisfactory successor.”
Fu Lanze sighed softly: “Seeing how you’ve developed Longevity Sect to be so prosperous now, he should be pleased.”
