“Phew… Kid, we finally made it out.”
The morning sun shone on Li Muyang, and Wei Sandao, who had finally escaped the Myriad Great Mountains, collapsed on the ground, instantly bleeding from a head wound.
A demon cultivator of at least the Divine Travel Realm was injured by a roadside stone, showing how weak Wei Sandao was at that moment.
But even with a bleeding head, he did not tend to his wound. Instead, he lay exhausted on the ground, closed his eyes, and greedily absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around him, soon starting to snore.
This brute, who had escaped death, was now in a deep sleep, his body instinctively absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Li Muyang, on the other hand, took a deep breath, looked back at the undulating mountain range, and clicked his tongue.
“Black Cloud Village turned out to be such a sinister place.”
The usually inconspicuous village had so many terrifying things beneath its ancestral temple.
The experience of this third-stage cultivation game was simply incredible.
If those ancient evil gods underground were to lose control one day, wouldn’t the world be thrown into chaos?Uh… wait a minute?
Li Muyang suddenly remembered something.
“The Black Cloud Village in 《Legend of Sword and Fairy》 had long been destroyed, and the wilderness outside Nanjiang City was fraught with danger, forcing humans and demons to coexist.”
“Could it be…”
Li Muyang looked at the Myriad Great Mountains before him and murmured, “Could it be that after the destruction of Black Cloud Village, those ancient evil gods poured into the world, leading to the end of the mythological era? Is that why the immortals vanished and the gods perished?”
The dark turmoil of thousands of years ago was shrouded in mystery.
That turmoil affected the entire world.
From true immortals and gods to wild demons… all extraordinary creatures were wiped out.
There were no extraordinary beings on this land for a long time after the dark turmoil.
There were no cultivators, no demons, not even evil spirits, and the history of the cultivation world was a blank slate.
The various sects of the current cultivation world were all created by once ordinary people who, by various chances, picked up ancient inheritances and gradually founded their own forces and sects. They are all new powers.
For example, the Demon Refining Sect, which now holds considerable power in the demonic path, was established only a thousand years ago and has only three generations of inheritance.
Regarding how the ancient dark turmoil happened, how the immortals and gods disappeared, and the reasons for the turmoil… people could only speculate and guess based on clues.
Now, through the game, Li Muyang seemed to have glimpsed a perilous aspect of the ancient times.
If, after the destruction of Black Cloud Village, all those ancient evil gods from beneath the ancestral temple entered the world, it would indeed be a great disaster.
But upon further thought, could these ancient evil gods alone destroy an era?
It seems something is still missing…
Li Muyang was still pondering when time in the game sped by.
The sun rose from the east, swiftly crossed the sky, and finally set behind the mountains in the west.
Stars twinkled in the pitch-black sky, and the moon, illuminated by the brilliant starlight, appeared intermittently.
At last, dawn broke, and another night had passed.
Li Muyang sat in place while holding the unconscious Xiao Yecao, waiting for her to finish recuperating.
At this moment, Xiao Yecao and Wei Sandao were both deep in slumber, instinctively absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
As they absorbed more and more spiritual energy, their originally emaciated bodies that were nothing but skin and bones gradually filled out with flesh.
Li Muyang counted the time it took for the sun to rise and set, realizing that half a month had passed in the game for every minute in the real world.
Finally, the two, now with flesh restored, woke up with difficulty.
Upon awakening, Wei Sandao’s first reaction was to look down and hurriedly check inside his trousers.
Seeing that the most important part of a man was also fleshed out and not just a layer of dry skin, the brute let out a sigh of relief.
“Damn it, these Myriad Great Mountains are no place for humans.”
Wei Sandao said as he leaped up from the ground and addressed Li Muyang, “Kid, thanks for getting me out of there.”
“Even though you nearly drained me dry, and even though all this should have been Granny Gu’s job, no matter what, you faced all those ancient evil gods to get me out, and I owe you one.”
“If you ever need anything, you can bring this token to Yellow Wind Valley to find me.”
“I’ve had enough of those guys’ grand aspirations. I’m going back now, back to take care of my old mother.”
“That old witch has a terrible temper, and after being away from home for so long, she’s probably going to flay me alive, so I won’t chat with you any longer.”
Saying this, Wei Sandao tossed a wooden token and then, with a leap, rode a demon wind and flew away.
The guy left very decisively, leaving behind only a wooden token that emitted a faint demonic aura.
【Yellow Wind Token Acquired】
【Yellow Wind Token: Yellow Wind Valley Demon Clan Friendliness +10】
“…This Wei Sandao is actually a half-human half-demon?”
Li Muyang carefully pocketed the Yellow Wind Token, somewhat surprised.
And he’s a mama’s boy too… Tsk tsk…
Watching Wei Sandao disappear from sight, Li Muyang began to wait for the system to calculate the rewards.
However, after sitting in place for a while and with game time still flying by, the system rewards were nowhere to be seen.
Li Muyang then slapped his forehead after remembering this game’s essence.
“This is a nurturing game, dammit!”
The goal of each stage was to increase Xiao Yecao’s favorability.
The previous two times he completed the game, he received system rewards only after raising Xiao Yecao’s favorability.
This time was clearly the same.
After sitting in place for quite a while and ten days passing in the game, the unconscious Xiao Yecao finally murmured and woke up in Li Muyang’s arms.
“E… Elder Brother?”
Xiao Yecao opened her eyes somewhat confusedly and instinctively looked around.
During the second half of the escape from the Myriad Great Mountains, Xiao Yecao was completely unconscious, relying entirely on Li Muyang’s support, completely unaware of what was happening.
Now, as she opened her eyes, she saw the vast plains unfolding before her, with the mountain range rising and falling in the distance.
Xiao Yecao hurriedly sat up, shyly lowered her head, and smiled a little embarrassedly.
“I’ve been a drag…”
Perhaps due to weakness, the girl’s voice was slightly sweet and tender, with a hint of coquettishness.
Li Muyang glanced at the favorability bar in the upper right corner.
【Xiao Yecao: 59】
This little girl’s favorability had been stuck on this number for a long time, and even teaching her cultivation methods didn’t increase it.
Xiao Yecao looked around and, after Wei Sandao had long gone, hesitated slightly.
Then she spoke up.
“So… Elder Brother, where shall we go next?”
Options popped up in Li Muyang’s field of vision.
【Of course, we go back to the village. Don’t you want to return?】
【Granny said that after sending Wei Sandao away, we don’t have to go back… I want to leave Black Cloud Village and see the outside world. Would you like to come with me?】
【Note: This choice will have a significant impact on the subsequent storyline! Please choose carefully!】
