The game is only half finished, and the entire internet is begging for an update!

[Holy crap! Emperor Chi has fallen! What happened to the hardcore cultivation?!]

[Recharge 1000? You call that a small recharge?! You evil capitalists!]

[This is hilarious! This special effect is called Neon Cherry Blossom, which is basically just masculine pink! Are you sure you want to dye your sword aura pink?]

Chi Cheng didn't care at all.

Playing these kinds of online games is all about having fun and showing off, right?

He is the Heavenly Emperor; can he be the same as everyone else?

Soon, a beam of moon-white light slowly swept across Emperor Chi Tian.

The patched-up beginner's hemp clothing disappeared quickly.

A moon-white dragon robe draped over his shoulders, with dark gold cloud patterns illuminating along the hem. A translucent aura of immortality emanated from his back, slowly swirling in the drizzle, while a golden beaded curtain above his head also fell down.

Chi Cheng controlled his character to spin around twice in place.

The hem of her clothes fluttered.

A mystical aura wafted through the air.

The beaded curtain sways gently.

Coupled with the bright red "Crimson Clouds" sword tassel on the hilt, the whole person instantly exudes an air of nobility.

Chi Cheng gasped in shock.

"You've made something of yourself!"

"Emperor Chi has truly shown his mettle this time!"

"Clothes make the man!"

The chat was silent for a moment, but the viewers were genuinely impressed by his handsomeness.

Oh no, he actually installed it!

[Could anyone tell that such a wealthy person just had half a blood vessel drained by a wild rabbit?]

Chi Cheng was even more satisfied when he saw the last comment.

"That's right!"

"Who can tell now that my sword hasn't even been sharpened?"

"We are sword cultivators!"

"If you don't use flashy techniques, you're simply not qualified to be a sword cultivator!"

As he spoke, he drew his sword, "Zao Ba," and thrust it into the air three times in succession.

The moon-white sleeves billowed with the sword's movement, dispersing the ethereal aura behind him, causing the golden beaded curtain to sway gently. Coupled with the newly purchased attack effects, the originally worn-out rapier even gained a touch of divine weapon aura.

Chi Cheng nodded in satisfaction.

As the ancients said, "To return home in wealth and honor is like wearing fine clothes at night."

"The same applies to online games."

"To not return home in wealth and honor is like revealing a hidden detail in fashion!"

"Since we've already bought it, wouldn't it be a waste of money if we didn't let others see it?"

The comments section immediately corrected the error.

You're talking about someone dressed in fine clothes but hiding in the dark!

[Is returning home in luxury like fashion revealing hidden secrets?]

Oh no, he actually figured it out.

Chi Cheng manipulates Chi Tiandi back to the bamboo forest.

A newly spawned wild rabbit emerged from the grass and looked up at the sword cultivator whose entire body shimmered with the glow of pay-to-win items.

Chi Cheng slowly pulled out Zao Ba.

A pale golden sword light appeared.

The red sword tassels fluttered in the wind.

"Come."

"The people who hit you just now were refugees from Zhuxi Village."

"The one attacking you now is the Heavenly Emperor Chi, who successfully recharged his account!"

"Only today do I realize who I am!"

The next second, he rushed forward.

"8 AM, Lesson Two!"

"Everyone, no one is allowed to be late!"

Chi Cheng had a feeling that after successfully recharging, his enthusiasm for hunting rabbits had increased significantly.

That used to be called farming materials.

Now it's called "Nine Heavens Cloud Dragon Robe Goes to the Countryside to Exorcise Demons".

The Heavenly Emperor Chi was wearing a golden beaded crown and a moon-white dragon robe. He was surrounded by immortal energy, and the thin sword in his hand, named Zao Ba, was glowing with pink light as he chased after wild rabbits and stabbed them relentlessly through the bamboo forest.

"stop!"

"I'm going to call roll!"

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

"8 AM, third period! Morning reading check!"

"8 AM, fourth period! Physical education quiz!"

"Oh my, I've chosen such a great name! It would be even more fitting for Teacher Fang!"

The comments section fell silent for a moment.

The Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor is currently hunting wild rabbits in Zhuxi Village.

Seeing the streamer dressed like this here gives off the feeling of an emperor traveling incognito and casually helping villagers catch chickens.

The rabbit never dreamed it would one day die from an attack effect that was so expensive.

Chi Cheng was too lazy to pay them any attention.

As the fight progressed, he became quite familiar with the rabbit's attack rhythm.

Not long after.

Defeat the wandering hare

[Obtained: Rusty Iron Essence x1]

[Current tempering progress: 20/20]

"All of them are here!"

Chi Cheng's eyes lit up, and he immediately opened the sword nurturing panel.

Twenty pieces of rusty iron concentrate were simultaneously added to the quenching tank.

A crimson flame quickly enveloped [Zao Ba], and large patches of rust began to peel off the sword. The originally rough and dull blade gradually brightened, and a faint silver pattern appeared on the slender blade.

[First deep tempering completed]

[My natal sword "Zao Ba" has been successfully sharpened]

[Sharpness Enhancement]

[Sword strength increased]

[Gain basic trait: Swift Thrust]

[Attack speed increases slightly when a third consecutive thrust hits the same target.]

Chi Cheng drew Zao Ba and casually swung the sword twice.

The sound of the sword was much clearer.

As the sword's edge swept through the air, the slender silver line overlapped with the pink-gold special effects he had purchased, creating a visually stunning effect that was far more beautiful than before.

"That's more like it!"

The live chat immediately alerted the user.

[The refinement is complete; fashion consumption still accounts for a significantly larger share.]

The sword is finally worthy of that eighteen-yuan tassel.

Holy crap, this rapier looks pretty cool after the rust is removed!

[The cold, metallic texture showcases Chao Xi's undeniable artistic skill.]

Chi Cheng was in a good mood. His sword had already been sharpened, so naturally he had to learn a new sword technique.

We can't rely on normal attacks forever.

However, the difficulties of pursuing a personal path soon became apparent.

Without the guidance of the old man with the ring, and with the world map shrouded in fog of war, Chi Cheng could only control his character to wander aimlessly through the deep mountains and forests like a headless fly.

After searching for a long time after leaving Zhuxi Village, Chi Cheng finally learned from a herb gatherer that there was a [Fallen Leaf Sword Sect] on a mountain a hundred miles away.

To find the Fallen Leaf Sword Gate, he first took a freight oxcart, then followed a group of herb gatherers over two mountains, and finally circled around the foot of the mountains for a full twenty minutes before he saw the stone steps hidden in the clouds.

"Finally found it!"

"This character's starting route is way too difficult!"

With tears welling up in his eyes, Chi Cheng ran forward, intending to apply to join the sect, but was ruthlessly stopped by the disciples guarding the gate and given a [Sect Trial] mission!

[Fallen Leaf Sword Sect Entry Trial]

Please pass through the sword-stake formation ahead within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

"What the hell?! For me, the mighty Heavenly Emperor, to come to your wretched mountain is an incredible honor! And you still want me to take a test?!"

Chi Cheng was so angry that he cursed loudly, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and accept the task.

Fortunately, this trial is not too difficult; it mainly tests basic dodging, blocking, and attack rhythm.

After failing twice, Chi Cheng finally managed to break through with the speed of his rapier attacks and successfully joined the Fallen Leaf Sword Sect.

After successfully joining the sect, Chi Cheng was completely dumbfounded when he looked at the empty sect square.

In the entire sect, including the sect leader, the elders who pass on skills, and the sweeping boy, there are no more than five NPCs in total! Not a single player was seen!

"What kind of lousy university is this?!"

Chi Cheng silently questioned the heavens.

"Is this what the personal path is like? You have to find all the resources yourself, and you only get into a sect by sheer luck? This is way too hardcore!"

The viewers in the live chat were laughing gleefully.

[Emperor Chi Tian arrived at the Fallen Leaf Sword Sect, and the entire sect warmly welcomed him.]

Hahaha, here you go, showing off by choosing your own path!

"Fewer people means you'll be the senior disciple as soon as you enter."

"What do you know! This is called a hidden sect! The more dilapidated the sect, the more powerful its secret techniques are!"

Chi Cheng took a stroll around the sect.

The good news is that he finally learned his first formal sword technique.

【Thirteen Thorns of Fallen Leaves】

It primarily features rapid, straight thrusts, with the final strike allowing for a forward lunge, making it perfectly suited for a rapier.

The bad news is that Qinglan Sword Sect looks like a tiny, local sect.

"Fine, fine. If all else fails, I'll just leave the sect and start my own when I'm more independent!"

"Most importantly, there's a teleportation array here!"

Chi Cheng stood on the back mountain of the sect, looking at the ancient formation composed of six stone pillars, and his eyes lit up again.

The teleportation array can take you to several large cities that are already open to the public.

The closest one is called [Lintian City].

[Teleport to Lintian City?]

"Walk!"

"I'm finally going into the city!"
