After clearing the level, the fairies were reborn!

On the frozen glacier, a majestic sect stands tall.

Xuanling Sect.

Today, this place is not a ruin, nor has it been ravaged by war. Instead, it is one of the most powerful sects on this continent.

It is magnificent and solemn.

Countless chosen ones are born here, embarking on one thrilling and epic adventure after another.

Everyone thought they were both the 'player' and the 'protagonist' of this game world.

They accept quests, explore secret realms, befriend NPCs, and find their own opportunities and enjoyment within the vast game framework.

But at that time, no one imagined that just five days later, everyone would truly descend upon this world of cultivation...

"The sect leader is practicing his sword again!"

"Quick, quick, let's go take a look! Maybe we can learn something from it!"

This world-renowned game has been online for almost a full day.

Many players have explored various side quests, accepted 'quests' from various NPCs, and traveled to all parts of the world.

However, some players still remain within the Xuanling Sect.

It was this choice that allowed them to witness a 'miracle' firsthand.

After Xu Ze chose the golden talent [Supreme Sword Bone], his understanding of [Azure Cloud Sword Technique] reached a whole new level.

In addition, there is the number of disciples in the sect, and the spiritual energy they provide in return.

His cultivation level has reached the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm!

This corresponds to the sixth move of the sword technique in the Void Refinement Realm, and it's practically a piece of cake.

"The sword cleaves through the clouds."

Holding the Flame-Slaying Sword, Xu Ze unleashed his terrifying Heaven-Burning Sword Intent to its fullest extent, standing atop the main peak, and swung the sword towards the sky.

They spoke softly, yet their whispers drowned out all the sounds of the wind in the world.

Words cannot describe the brilliance of that sword strike.

- Om!

The entire Xuanling Sect, all the bricks and tiles of its palaces and pavilions, trembled violently at the same moment, emitting a humming sound like the ocean tide.

A white sword beam, thousands of feet high, shot into the sky from the Dao Asking Platform.

It is straight and violent, and can be described as domineering.

Wherever it passed, space was torn apart layer by layer like fragile cloth, revealing the deep void behind it.

"What...what is that?! A CG?! No, there was no hint?!"

"The sky... the sky has split open!!"

"The clouds are burning?! What level of special effects is that?!"

All the players who looked up witnessed a scene they would never forget.

Following the trajectory of that white sword light, a chasm was forcibly torn open in the azure sky!

The cracks stretched for tens of thousands of miles, spanning the entire visible sky.

Sunlight streamed through the cracks, and burning clouds turned to ash and fell, only to be vaporized by the intense heat in mid-air, creating a spectacular apocalyptic scene of flames and rosy clouds filling the sky.

"Is this the strength of our sect leader? It's absolutely amazing! So impressive, so incredibly impressive!!"

"Sword cultivator! I must become a sword cultivator!"

"This is what cultivation is all about! This is real power!"

The disciples within the sect surged frantically toward the main peak, trying to catch a glimpse of that godlike figure.

Even the disciples thousands of miles away were so shocked by this scene that they trembled all over.

From this moment on, countless people began to express the idea of ​​changing their profession to become 'sword cultivators'.

This day is jokingly referred to by players as "Kendo Enlightenment Day".

……

at the same time.

On the edge of the Northern Continent, in a hidden valley.

Here, birds sing and flowers bloom, and springs gurgle gently, making it seem like a completely different world from the icy, snowy outside.

Inside the exquisite bamboo building, a woman dressed in a flowing crimson dress suddenly stood up from her futon, knocking over the cup of spiritual tea beside her.

"There's no mistake! This sword intent..."

In this world, Su Yunshang's heart, which had just calmed down a little, started pounding again.

This is the sword intent that cut him off from the throne!

She doesn't even need to use her divine sense to perceive.

Because this pure power had already been branded like a red-hot iron, deeply etched into the very depths of her soul.

Has Xu Ze already acquired such power in this game?

What is the meaning of this sword strike?

A warning to myself?!

"I didn't investigate you, I just wanted to help you..."

Su Yunshang clutched her head, her delicate body trembling uncontrollably.

She was truly terrified; all color drained from her face, leaving only boundless astonishment and fear.

At this moment, she was going through all the conversations she had had with Xu Ze during this time.

What did I do wrong? Did I upset the other person?

Could it be that Xu Ze was dissatisfied with his attitude when he spoke to him?

Tonics! No...

She dared not look again at the terrifying sword intent that had cleaved the sky in two, and quickly took off her helmet.

Su Yunshang then realized that her white women's shirt was soaked with sweat, and her forehead was dripping with fragrant sweat.

"call……"

Her heart was pounding, and she dared not harbor even the slightest bit of wishful thinking. She quickly picked up her phone.

"Hey? Lisa, you're not allowed to report any more news about President Xu to me. Give him all the authority in the company. Yes, any decision he makes must be carried out unconditionally..."

As soon as the call connected, the assistant on the other end was completely dumbfounded.

She had never seen this strong woman speak in such an almost out-of-control tone before.

Lisa was about to ask if they really had to do this when she was interrupted by an urgent voice from the other end:

"Why? There's no why! Just do it!"

"Anyone with any doubts should come directly to me!"

……

Not long after.

Xu Ze also ended the game, took off his gaming helmet, and got up from the sofa in his spacious office.

He has already mastered the sixth form of the Azure Cloud Sword Technique, and has even touched the threshold of the seventh form, "Slaying Immortals and Cutting Through the Dao".

"Thanks to the help of 'Lanbo Pill,' I had already reached the peak of the Nascent Soul realm, so I was able to break through without any bottlenecks."

"I wonder if things will go this smoothly once I reach the Nascent Soul stage and then the Void Refinement stage..."

In the world of cultivation, there is a very advanced concept called 'one certificate for life'.

In other words, once you 'ascend to immortality', no matter how many times you reincarnate or what form you take in your next life, you will eventually become an immortal.

Because you have already attained the Dao Fruit and possessed a divine status, breaking through is simply a natural progression for you; a trace of your will already exists in the world.

Even if you are reincarnated and start over, the obstacles on this path will no longer be obstacles for you, because your 'existence' itself has already been marked by this path.

"When I enter the third instance tonight, I can inherit the experience and cultivation in the game."

"This worldview seems to be on a different timeline than the 'Ghost Brain' world. Those people I know aren't there, or rather, they haven't even been born yet..."

Xu Ze made a rough guess.

The timeline corresponding to the [Xuanling Sect] in this game.

At least ten thousand years ago.

That is, the ancient times.

What he needs to do now is to attract as many people as possible to come and play, after all, 'AFK training' is just too awesome.

With these disciples around, Xu Ze didn't need to cultivate at all, and his cultivation level was rising rapidly.

Even if they encounter some extraordinary adventure, they can share in a bit of luck.

Although each disciple only contributes a small amount, the sheer volume of millions of disciples adds up to a terrifying amount.

"Ok?"

Just as Xu Ze was pondering and planning how to further expand the game's influence.

He instinctively scratched his arm.

Since just now, he has felt an itch on his arm, as if someone has tied a yarn to it and it keeps moving around.

"Wait, what is this?!"

But just as Xu Ze's gaze fell on his arm, he made an unbelievable discovery.

There was actually a 'string' tied to my hand, I don't know when it started!

It was a crystal-clear, red silk thread that wrapped around his arm.

One end appeared to have 'grown' under his skin.
