Bitter Realm: A Happy Person Traveling Across China

The lively private room suddenly quieted down, leaving only Ye Jinming sitting by the window, slowly sipping his cup of red tea.

The charcoal crackled, and the aroma of tea wafted through the air.

His gaze drifted to the boundless snowfield outside the window, but his eyes gradually lost focus. His thoughts seemed to transcend time and space, floating back to that distant, almost blurred fragment of memory from a past life—

Fifteen years ago, on that ordinary afternoon.

A bustling street, the screech of brakes, the immense force of the impact, the world spinning... My last conscious thought was of my body crashing heavily onto the cold, hard sidewalk, my vision stained crimson, and the faint echoes of screams from passersby still lingering in my ears...

His own inappropriate comment: "Damn, I hit the jackpot! Cosplaying as a speed bump is no human job..."

When I regained consciousness, what came into view was the rough wooden beams, and the unfamiliar smell of herbs and mildew filled my nostrils.

His body transformed into that of a frail child, and he found himself in a completely unfamiliar, ancient-like world.

The reason for saying "similar" is that the clothing, architecture, and language here are indeed full of antiquity, but occasionally you can see some strange creations that do not conform to the normal ancient technology tree, such as stockings, suits, communication jade talismans that can transmit simple messages, and soft light spheres that are not flames used for lighting in some places...

This is a bizarre and surreal world.

After the initial confusion and fear, comes a strong curiosity and thirst for knowledge.

Later, when he went to the tavern to inquire about the news, he heard that Su Huanzhen, the White Lotus of Fragrance, was calling for people to fight the boss everywhere...

Ye Jinming was completely stunned...

This is actually the world of Pili Puppet Show, and along with Super Beast Armed and Taoist Mysterious Immortal, it is known as the most difficult dungeon for newcomers to clear.

It's even known as the Great Stage of Suffering; if you're not in good shape, don't come.

Just kidding, even with cheats, it won't work.

Shou Wanjie once said something—

The brave win every battle, and the wise win every time. Why is it that those who are both brave and wise often meet a tragic end?

But he forgot that even the hero's final fate is death.

As for wise men, they are like weeds, dying off one crop after another...

To think that I would stumble into such a perilous world—what incredible luck!

To say how miserable the Bitterlands are, aside from the toiling masses who spawn at fixed locations, the endless stream of wise men and heroes, there are also countless bosses and villains who want to invade the Bitterlands.

Why invade the Bitter Realm? Because although the Bitter Realm is harsh, one can still survive there.

Look at the Fire House Buddha Prison that borders the Bitter Realm. It is full of biochemical pollution, with no soil, no water, and almost no light (after the Lord of Curses arrived in the Bitter Realm, he said that sunbathing is an extremely luxurious enjoyment). Plants survive by eating people and drinking blood.

To put it bluntly, even the Northern Sea Spirit Continent, under the control of the powerful ruler Haotian, is a paradise on earth compared to this place.

The situation is even worse in Jiuluntian. The entire space resembles a sky city with dirty wings, and it's about to crash. They must find another dimension as soon as possible so that everyone can escape.

There is also a deep realm, where the two sides were originally at peace, but Yin Shi Wu Lie carelessly dumped garbage there, throwing in a forbidden land of sin that hides countless evils, causing the Li Clan and the Otherworld to be almost driven mad by torture...

.........

In this sense, it's not that the Bitter Realm is so wonderful that the villains came; rather, it's that without comparison, there is no harm.

These examples demonstrate just how despairing the worldview of Pili Puppet Show truly is.

Fortunately, as a time traveler, how could I not have a cheat code?

Ye Jinming's cheat code is that as long as he can survive a calamity (one storyline) or change the fate of a main character, he can extract one item from all the heavens and myriad worlds.

New players receive a free draw, and on the first draw, they directly drew an SR, the Flowing Light Sword Technique from a certain high-martial arts world.

This sword technique has only three moves, and its main focus is on one word—speed!

After learning the technique, Ye Jinming immediately took to the skies and made a name for himself in the northern border of Shenzhou with his astonishing swordsmanship.

Later, he met Ji Changjia, and finding they shared similar interests, Ji Changjia recruited him to form the Xinhe Shenglian...

Ahem, that is, the Four Vanguard of the North.

As we all know, there are many strange combinations in the Bitter Realm. For example, the Four Great Confucian Masters all debuted as a group of four, so this is quite reasonable.

Are there five more Heavenly Kings?

However, it must be said that the timeline of Pili is truly a mess.

Bianji always comes up with something on a whim.

Huang Jian Gu Chen was supposed to be from the time of the Great War between the Jingyou, which is at least several hundred years ago. However, his nephew Qi Cheng has been the person he admires most since childhood: Ye Xiao Chai.

Ironically, Ye Xiaochai was only a little over a hundred years old.

However, there's another heavyweight master here, Bai Ma Qiu Shui. From the Thunderbolt War to the Thunderbolt Storm, only ten years have passed? (If Old Ma knew this in the afterlife, he'd probably be thoroughly cuckolded.)

This is obviously abnormal, okay? It would have taken at least several hundred years for the otherworldly demon realm to invade and be sealed away...

Never mind, that's how it is in terms of timeline and combat strength.

After all, when you first enter the martial arts world, you are invincible. But if you remain in the martial arts world for too long, you will find it difficult to make any progress. This is no joke.

The demon who had suppressed an era was instantly killed by the man in white, who in turn was instantly killed by the sword demon, who was just a henchman...

No matter how you look at it, something just seems off...

And that's because the Thunderbolt Realm is not a place for ordinary people.

That's why, even though the cheat was very powerful, Ye Jinming made the heartfelt choice to survive first.

Only by surviving can we become stronger, and only by becoming stronger can we have the ability to change the fate of others.

Over the past ten years of wandering in the North, Ye Jinming has successfully survived three major tribulations.

I drew three times in a row, and only got a good item once.

Spatial power is also a good thing for saving your life.

With the power of space, Ye Jinming's sword became even faster, and even more unpredictable.

The other two draws were: once, the Nine-Nine Return to One Sword from the invincible sword king Wang Jiujiu of the Immortal Island; and the other, the Blood-Drinking Blade from the famous Flower Drum.

Although the Nine-Nine Return to One Sword technique lost its prestige after Wang Jiujiu's skill was broken, it is still considered a unique skill in the Pili world.

Ye Jinming practiced it casually, so that he could confidently shout out when encountering someone weaker than himself in the future.

"One sword is not enough to defeat you, so I, Ye Jinming, will strike again on the spot!"

As for the remaining Blood-Drinking Blade and its accompanying techniques from the famous Flower Drum,

Ye Jinming stopped practicing, after all, he wasn't some murderous demon, so there was no need.

Most importantly, where is this place? This is the Land of Suffering, where there is no shortage of ambitious people.

Therefore, with just a little effort, Ye Jinming managed to get the Blood-Drinking Blade out of existence...

As things progressed naturally, some people even started helping to nurture the knife...

All I need to do is retrieve the Blood-Drinking Blade when I've mastered it enough. This way, I'll gain both fame and an extra trump card. Why not?
