Golden Core Mission: Red Dust Tribulation
10,000 meters above the ground,
Gao Yunyi a dragon and roamed freely.
There was no sorrow of parting in my heart, only boundless joy.
Xiao Zhaohuang's woman has finally ascended the throne and become empress; his mission has finally been completed.
The moment I saw the task displayed as completed,
Gao Yunyi left the Capital without hesitation, riding the dragon.
He'd completely forgotten about his younger brother and the Eldest Princess.
After completing this task, he will reach level 29.
After reaching level 29, you can accept the main quest to break through to the Golden Core Realm.
He couldn't wait to see what lay beyond the Golden Core Realm.
Click to submit the task.
A golden light shot into the sky.
His level instantly jumped to level 29.
At the same time,
A system-issued task popped up.
[Quest: Red Dust Tribulation]
[Task Requirements: Enter the mortal world as a mortal for one year, observe human love, hate, joy, sorrow, and experience the seven emotions and six desires of mortals. However, at the end of this tribulation, you must not be attached to the mortal world and must leave freely; this is the tribulation. If you develop attachments and refuse to detach yourself, you will fail the tribulation and your Dao heart will be damaged.]
[Task Hint: We come and go in this mortal world, merely passing through. To arrive with enthusiasm and depart when the enthusiasm fades is the True Intention of transcending tribulations.]
[Quest Reward: 8400 Experience Points, Item:???.]
[Task countdown: 5 seconds.]
When you see this task,
Gao Yunyi was completely dumbfounded.
He clearly remembered that the Golden Core quest in the game was to kill 5,000 monsters within a limited time, so how did it suddenly turn into some kind of Red Dust Tribulation?
He just escaped from the mundane world, so why are they trying to drag him back in now?
Does indulging in eating, drinking, gambling, and prostitution in the Capital mean one hasn't experienced the Red Dust Tribulation?
What's the point of observing human love, hate, sorrow, and joy, or experiencing the seven emotions and six desires of mortals?
He had seen and experienced enough before he transmigrated, otherwise he wouldn't have developed the personality he has now.
And what's with this one-year time limit?
He couldn't stand it after only a few months in the Capital, and now they're making him stay for a year.
The strangest thing is this so-called mortal body.
What's the meaning,
Could the system possibly seal his game character, rendering all his skills, equipment, Law Treasure, and Spirit Pets unusable?
He simply couldn't believe the system could be so ruthless.
Gao Yunyi was internally ranting and raving, but he didn't notice the [Task Countdown] notification.
By the time he noticed,
It was too late.
[Task countdown: 0 seconds.]
As the notification ended in the last second, the entire taskbar vanished into thin air.
Not only that,
The game interface in front of him was also disappearing rapidly; the character bar, equipment bar, skill bar, inventory bar, and Spirit Pet Slot were all gone just like that.
Gao Yunyi panicked.
This is at an altitude of 10,000 meters.
Could you let him go down first before starting the mission?
But clearly the system is ruthless.
The moment the mission countdown ended meant he had transformed from a lofty Immortal into a mortal.
Bai Suzhen, beneath her feet, seemed to sense something; her two long, slender dragon whiskers bound her like ropes.
Then it quickly swooped down towards the ground.
But it was too late.
Bai Suzhen's enormous dragon body gradually turned into a phantom image, and then completely disappeared into the sea of clouds.
"System, I curse your ancestors for eight generations!"
That's all,
Gao Yunyi transformed into a shooting star, plummeting directly from a height of ten thousand meters.
Unnamed rolling mountains,
Gao Yunyi sat atop a mountain peak, gazing at the boundless mountains and valleys before him, his chin in hand, lost in thought.
Who I am?
Where is this?
What am I supposed to do?
"Red Dust Tribulation, you should at least send me to a populated place first. What's the point of leaving me in this deep mountain forest?"
Am I supposed to watch a bunch of wild animals go through love, hate, joy, and sorrow?
What place is this?
Gao Yunyi suddenly turned to the tiger behind him and asked.
The tiger, lying on the ground with bumps all over its head, raised its head, looking completely bewildered.
It was originally the king of this mountain forest.
While hunting a sika deer, a person suddenly fell from the sky, creating a large crater in the ground and giving the deer a big fright.
It just walked over out of curiosity and took a look.
This human, however, beat it up without even asking what happened.
Is there any justice or law left in this world?
Is it illegal to watch the spectacle?
Now it's all good.
The prey that was about to be caught escaped, and the prey itself became the prey.
It is the king of beasts.
When have I ever suffered such injustice?
"Not going to talk? You local gangs are so rude."
As he spoke,
Gao Yunyi then raised his fist and gave it another good beating.
Waaaaah...
The tiger was almost in tears; tears welled up in its eyes.
Where did this human fall from?
How can you be so amazing?
We simply can't beat them.
They can only be bullied.
Gao Yunyi knew the reason.
Although the system sealed all his game skills, Law Treasure, equipment, and Spirit Pets, his character's basic attributes remained.
This is the real reason why he survived a fall from a height of 10,000 meters.
Although he could no longer see his health bar, he could roughly guess that he was probably low on health.
In other words,
If he suffers another major injury
This could result in your character's health being depleted and them dying.
Not used to it
I'm really not used to it.
It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
Gao Yunyi really didn't expect this.
The system is serious this time, and it's going to be this ruthless.
They didn't even leave him a chance to survive.
The mountain range in front of us stretches endlessly, and the surrounding shrubs and trees are clearly a primeval forest.
Without the guidance of a game map,
He can't even tell which Southwest, so how could he possibly get out of this vast primeval forest?
Does he really intend to become Bear Grylls in this remote mountain forest?
The task requires a one-year deadline.
I wonder if lying flat in this forest for a year would count as completing the mission.
Gao Yunyi was somewhat troubled.
So they beat the tiger up again.
Fortunately, his body is digitized and doesn't need to eat, otherwise this unfortunate tiger definitely wouldn't have survived the night.
But these tigers didn't know that.
It only felt pain and sorrow.
Someone please save me, this poor, helpless little tiger!
The tiger was filled with anticipation and prayer.
Then they heard a rustling sound coming from below the cliff.
A man with a long blue cloth headscarf wrapped around his head and wearing a blue cloth short jacket suddenly emerged from under the cliff.
Upon seeing that there was someone on the cliff face, and that it was a person from the Central Plains,
The man was startled.
His hands, which were clinging to the cliff, unconsciously loosened, causing him to sway and loose rocks to tumble down from his feet. He almost fell off the cliff.
However, at this critical juncture,
A long, slender, fair hand grabbed him and lifted him up to the mountaintop as if he were a rag doll.
The man felt dizzy and lightheaded.
When he came to his senses,
Just like a huge, striped tiger,
They stared at each other, big eyes wide.
