In fact, Murong Longcheng was already quite adept at hiding his true intentions.
In fact, when things turned bad, he was the first to run away.
But no matter how well you survive, you can't outsmart someone who's cheating.
"This... his death was far too easy," Wang Er said, pursing his lips.
"Where's the promised boss? Where's the epic battle? Is this all? Big Shot, this guy has built up a huge empire, and even though he's not a good guy, isn't it a bit too much to not even give him a few lines of dialogue?"
Ling Yi nodded and said, "It seems a bit excessive."
At this point, Ling Yi looked at him with a strange expression and asked, "Do you get equipment drops when you fight monsters?"
"Yeah, my backpack is practically overflowing with equipment and potions," Wang Er said with a happy expression.
"Perhaps you haven't tried your red potion on the undead?"
"Huh?" Wang Er aback. "Why do we need to conduct an experiment? Isn't it enough to just eliminate the undead?"
"Is it possible to unlock a second career?"
"A second job can be unlocked at level 50."
"Do you want to choose Daoist priest as your second career?"
" Big Shot, you guessed it again, bro?"
Ling Yi turned and left. He suddenly understood why his popularity had always been so low.
Even without him, Wang Er could easily Save the World.
If Ling Yi's guess is correct, it will likely take Wang Er quite a while to reach level 50. By the time this development period ends, the novel's world will have already reached its mid-to-late stages.
The equipment he gets from defeating monsters can arm a human squad, and the health potions he gets are equivalent to the Mysterious Blood in his passive Blood Pool Aura.
Once one becomes a Daoist priest, the Daoist's Healing Technique can restore the dead in most cases, or completely solve the dead's appetite problem, or even "heal" the dead back into human form.
This... is the Protagonist's original path to Save the World.
He went through all that trouble, worrying and agonizing, but in the end... it was all for nothing?
As someone capable of traversing Myriad Worlds, the most important thing he should be doing isn't running around to different worlds acting like a big shot, but rather causing destruction, Plunder, vying for supremacy, stealing money, seizing territory, and stealing women.
They should oppose the Protagonist; otherwise, where will the plot conflict come from?
"Boss, where are you going?" Wang Er called out when Ling Yi had almost disappeared from sight.
"Go fight the boss, you guys keep finding monsters and grinding for levels." Ling Yi waved his hand, and the next moment, he Teleportation away.
But then she returned to Wang Er's side.
While Wang Er was completely bewildered, Ling Yi said, "That system, Copy the skills of the Daoist and the Warrior for me."
"Buzz!"
Two beams of light fell upon Ling Yi.
Then, Ling Yi disappeared again amidst the bewildered gazes of the crowd.
"System, you're so... spineless! Even if the Big Shot is a little bit stronger, you shouldn't be so cowardly, right?"
The system has never paid attention to the Protagonist before, and this time is no exception.
"I feel like I've been hit with a Critical Hit, it's so damn hurt! I'm your host, okay?"
"Brother Wang Er, what should we do next?" Zhang Sanfeng asked with a smile.
"Ask Ling Jiu to see if there are any more undead, so we can keep grinding and leveling up. Also, I need to find some undead to do an experiment."
Ling Yi, meanwhile, had already used several Teleportation to travel from Gusu City all the way to Mount Kunlun.
The mysterious coordinates given by Wang Er's system are located in the Mount Kunlun.
However, when Ling Yi arrived at the designated coordinates, all he saw were two pine trees standing side by side.
" Formation?" Ling Yi murmured.
Ling Yi paused for a moment, then kicked one of the pine trees.
"Bang!"
The kick didn't land on the pine tree; instead, it created ripples in the air, like waves on water.
"There really is Formation."
Ling Yi didn't care about anything else and started kicking people like crazy, acting like a hothead.
After kicking for what felt like 100th time, Ling Yi felt his feet sink into the ground, and the next moment, Ling Yi stumbled and fell into an unfamiliar environment.
Ling Yi forced himself to steady himself and began to look around.
The earth was black, shrouded in a gray mist...
"Such concentrated Undead Power? It seems this place holds the core secrets of this world."
The Undead Power was so concentrated that it had even turned into mist. If an ordinary person were to enter, they would become an undead in no time, or even be possessed by a demon and completely lose their mind.
Although the Undead Power here is abundant, it is mixed with a very strong baleful aura.
Ling Yi suddenly realized something.
The aura of the dead between heaven and earth is also filled with malevolent energy, but after Refinement the spirits of martial arts, this malevolent energy has been filtered out.
"Someone is using necromancy martial arts to purify Undead Power. Sure enough, those techniques are all problematic."
"Hey-hey!"
Ling Yi suddenly sneered. Regardless of what the Undead Power is, where it came from, or what the purpose of the person behind it was in purifying the Undead Power.
Ling Yi extended his right hand, and a ball of dark blue Huoyan suddenly rose up...
The Undead Power is the "fuel" for the Undead Fire. The Undead Power outside is so thin that it cannot be directly ignited, but here...
Centered on Ling Yi, the azure cesium Huoyan rapidly spread outwards, followed by a Shaking Heaven and Earth explosion.
Shaking Heaven and Earth roar and a terrifying shockwave instantly swept across the entire space.
Once everything had settled, the space finally became clear.
The sky was a deep blue, the ground was scorched black, and in the distance there were plains, mountains, and palaces that Yinyin seen.
Ling Yi walked towards the palace.
These palaces appear to be made of some kind of metal, but they are not products of technology; rather, they seem to be obsolete magical artifacts.
It was covered in rust and Aura of decay.
In the very center of the main hall, there is a plaque that appears to be tilted slightly.
The words "Demon Suppression Bureau Division" were written on it.
What kind of organization is the Demon Suppression Bureau? Does it belong to any the Myth system? Ling Yi didn't quite understand.
But Ling Yi was certain that there were no living beings left here.
"Is this the answer the author of this novel's world provides? It seems a bit forced."
Ling Yi wandered around for a while but didn't find anything of value.
Just as Ling Yi was about to leave, an inconspicuous black jade stone caught Ling Yi attention.
Ling Yi was all too familiar with this thing; wasn't it just a jade slip commonly used in the Cultivation Realm?
Ling Yi walked straight over, picked it up, and placed it on his forehead...
Meanwhile, the outside world was also Changes quietly.
The martial arts heroes who were supposed to be Resurrection gradually fell silent, and the Undead Power on their bodies slowly dissipated.
The Undead Power that originally filled the world gradually thinned out because it was no longer replenished.
The Resurrection martial artist, who had originally become an undead, suddenly felt his power draining away and gradually weakened.
In Jindu, Wu Xingyun, who was watching TV at You Shishi's house, suddenly stood up. She tried to circulate her internal energy, but although she could, it became extremely sluggish.
This made him somewhat flustered, and he hurriedly Meditation meditate and cultivate, but he couldn't enter a meditative state at all.
" The Final Master, what's wrong?"
Wu Xingyun's commotion startled You Shishi, who was cultivating.
" Ling Yi and the others seem to have succeeded," Wu Xingyun said with a wry smile.
"Success? What did you mean by success?"
"He must have found the source of our Resurrection. Now that the source is gone, there will never be any more spirits in this world. And we, the Resurrection spirits, will probably die soon after losing our source of power."
" The Final Master, I won't let you die, you can't die. I'll find Ling Yi for help immediately."
You Shishi was so anxious she was almost in tears. She immediately took out her phone and asked, " Ling Jiu, Ling Jiu, quickly contact Ling Yi and ask him what happened so he can come and help me."
"I'm sorry, I can't reach Ling Yi right now."
"What..."
"You might be able to contact Wang Er; he should have a way to solve Wu Xingyun's problem."
"Who is Wang Er? Never mind, whoever he is, help me contact him."
It wasn't just You Shishi who was looking for Ling Yi; Wang Chongyang and the others were also looking for Ling Yi.
They experienced the same thing, but fortunately, they had Wang Er, the Protagonist, whose blood vials were indeed able to stabilize Wang Chongyang and the others' condition. Most importantly, their Wang Chongyang bodies were undergoing a transformation, turning into true humans.
Three days later, Ling Yi emerged from the secret realm.
As soon as Ling Yi left the secret realm, he saw an old man dressed in white training clothes, looking like an old man doing morning exercises, standing not far away with his hands behind his back, watching him.
"Who are you?" Ling Yi asked.
"I am Xiaoyaozi!"
Isn't it Huang Shang?
"I can also be Huang Shang."
Ling Yi clapped his hands and laughed, "That makes sense then."
"You got what's inside?" Xiaoyaozi asked.
"You got it? You want to steal it?"
"I've worked so hard for so long, only to have it all benefit someone else. I'm not willing to accept that, so naturally I have to give it a shot," the old man said with a smile.
Ling Yi shrugged and asked, "One last question. After you ask, we'll fight. If you lose, you die. If I lose, you get the stuff."
"Ask away!" Xiaoyaozi was not in a hurry, seemingly confident of victory.
"How did you tamper with the cultivation technique to bring someone Resurrection?"
"Well, that was an accident," Xiaoyaozi said, as if recalling something.
"You should know that ordinary people's souls and Divine Power are unable to Perception or bear Death Qi. To bear Death Qi, one can only become a dead person or strengthen one's soul."
Does Xiaoyaozi call the Undead Power "Death Qi"? That's quite fitting.
"But I've tried many methods and still can't achieve this. Once a person dies, their soul simply dissipates. Since the problem of the soul cannot be solved after death, it can only be addressed while the person is alive."
"Later I discovered that Martial Practitioner who could cultivate both the power of ultimate Yang and the power of ultimate Yin could have their souls exist for a longer period of time, so I began to try to modify the cultivation method."
"But this can only prolong the life of Martial Practitioner after death; it still cannot prevent the soul from dissipating."
"In order to find a solution, I read a large number of Buddhist and Daoist scriptures."
"By chance, I discovered that techniques combining extreme yang with weak yin, or extreme yin with weak yang, can allow Death Qi to sneak in."
"And then you secretly modified all the cultivation techniques?"
"Indeed, it is true. Martial Practitioner cultivate this kind of technique can keep their souls intact after death, constantly nourished by Death Qi until they are Resurrection. However, alas, this process takes too long. I have waited nearly a thousand years for this day to come."
This explanation, though a bit forced, is still passable.
"So you plan to Purification the malevolent energy within the Death Qi through these undead, and then seize their Soul Pearl to strengthen yourself?"
"Indeed, the Death Qi within the secret realm is far too dense; my strength is insufficient!"
At this point, Xiaoyaozi's expression turned slightly ferocious as he said, "It's a pity you ruined it all. Tell me, shouldn't you die?"
