Chapter 22: Journey West with the Nameless Swordsman? The Twenty-Second Chapter of Game Development...

The moment he realized he was about to shatter, Yuan Yi immediately looked to the west, determined to investigate the current state of the western earth veins, even as he endured excruciating pain.

However, the Western earth veins remained completely unaware of the suffering they endured.

Yuan Yi felt that there was a part on the left side of his body that no longer belonged to him, but although it was there, he could not feel it.

What a demon ancestor! He managed to isolate the entire western land vein from the primordial world without anyone noticing.

Yuan Yi laughed in anger, and the surrounding spiritual energy also surged due to the abnormal movement of the earth's veins. Fortunately, Yuan Yi managed to suppress his aura in time.

However, the surge in spiritual power still managed to shake the three Qilins apart.

The leading Qilin stopped talking, staring in disbelief at the girl who had previously had no cultivation suddenly becoming unfathomable, and then quickly returning to normal.

They are truly extraordinary people. No wonder the clan leader repeatedly told them to thank the game creators before leaving, and said that the Qilin clan, under their command, would surely be able to atone for their sins soon.

Just as Qi Ruo was about to ask a question, Yuan Yi stepped forward and spoke first: "The culprit behind the Dragon and Phoenix Calamity has now taken control of the western ley lines."

Before Qi Ruo could ask further, Yuan Yi continued, "He intends to fight his nemesis to the death this time, and this battle will damage the western ley lines."

"What!" The Qilin was shocked by this shocking news. Its golden pupils widened suddenly, and it stood up straight, wanting to ask for clarification.

Yuan Yi, disregarding the presence of the Qilin, continued, "I have a plan that can thwart this culprit's scheme. I request the Qilin's assistance."

If Luo Hou wants to tear flesh from her body, then she will naturally make Luo Hou repay her tenfold. Didn't you want to compete with the Dao Ancestor for the opportunity to merge with the Dao? Then this time, all your trump cards will be exposed.

…………

He felt great when he made threats, and his confident demeanor when making plans made him seem like a powerful figure in the Qilin clan.

But after making clear arrangements for everyone, Qilin hurried back to report the news and then went to the west to plan the battle.

Yuan Yi put the necessary supplies into his sleeve-shaped Qiankun (a magical device), and only when he stepped outside the Wuzhuang Temple's barrier for the first time since his transmigration did he realize something was wrong.

The sky was clear and the water was blue, with not a cloud in sight. The wind, which had no barrier to filter it, was quite noisy.

Yuan Yi looked up and shielded his eyes with his hand. When he noticed the burning gaze coming from outside the barrier, he took a step back and returned to the protection of the barrier.

It is known that Yuan Yi is a top-tier innate spiritual root among the ten great spiritual roots of the primordial world, and that Yuan Yi has only just entered the Dao realm and is utterly powerless. So, why would he walk out of Wuzhuang Temple so unguarded? Was he offering himself up as food, or did he feel he had lived too long and too carefree?

Yuan Yi lowered her eyes, her fine, wispy hairs swaying slightly on her face.

Her elder brother was in seclusion and she didn't want to disturb him, so she sent the entire Qilin clan back. Although she still had two or three secret methods hidden in her possession, it was still not safe to go to the prehistoric continent without any precautions.

We need to find a thug.

The primordial wilderness was still too dangerous for a ginseng fruit tree sapling like her. Last time, when someone came to Wuzhuang Temple to steal her main body, her brother single-handedly held off a hundred of them, which led to the peaceful times of the past hundred years.

Therefore, the thug's skill level cannot be too low; at the very least, he must be on par with his elder brother.

However, his elder brother is Zhen Yuanzi, the future ancestor of earth immortals, a renowned figure in the primordial world. He can even share a prayer mat with Hongyun in Zixiao Palace. Those stronger than him are the future saints who can sit on the prayer mats.

"Hiss, find a future sage to be his henchman." Yuan Yi gasped, realizing how imaginative he was.

With her meager cultivation level, which she despises, she would have perished long ago had she not shared the same roots as her brother. Now she dares to dream of a future sage protecting her on her journey to the West. Putting aside the distance, they have never met before, so what reward could she possibly offer?

I'll see if there are any exceptionally talented cultivators in the Wanshou Mountain area who can conceal their aura to accompany me on my journey to the West.

Little Ginseng jumped out and said, "Master, there really is one that meets the requirements."

"Um?"

"It's the nameless swordsman who's number one on the vegetable-stealing leaderboard. He's been traveling around the prehistoric world recently and wants to discuss the Dao with you, Master. If you take action, he'll surely be convinced and accompany you on your journey."

Tongtian had long told Little Ginseng that he wanted to meet Yuanyi, but Little Ginseng had always brushed him off with the excuse of being in seclusion. This time, as soon as Yuanyi made the request, Little Ginseng immediately implicated Tongtian.

The person who tops the list of those who steal crops must have amazing stealth skills, right?

With this thought in mind, Yuan Yi immediately wanted to have a good talk with this nameless swordsman.

[Game producer [Yuan Yi] has applied to join the Nameless Swordsman's Farm. Would you approve?]

Tongtian was lying on the grass sunbathing when he saw the message. The sun was shining brightly, making him feel lazy. Xiaohong was right to his right, and he could easily reach out and play a game.

This is such a pleasant place, much more comfortable than that secret room in Yuanshi Temple that was covered with the "Qingxin Jue" and had the nagging of his two elder brothers playing on a loop.

That's right, Yuanshi's deer-creating plan was successful not long ago. After five days, he finally got a [Zhang Yue Deer]. As soon as he got it, Yuanshi fed it all the upgrade materials he had obtained from daily quests, and immediately maxed out the level of [Zhang Yue Deer] and made it a guardian beast.

Tongtian, who was completely unprepared and still treated Yuanshi Farm as his private property, was suddenly hit by a deer and sent to the small dark room that Yuanshi had carefully prepared for his younger brother.

Not only was the "Qingxin Jue" built-in with a pre-arranged sound-retaining array, but the elder brother who was refining pills was also brought to the farm early in the morning, where he sat on a futon and waited for Tongtian to come out.

So, after finally getting through that boring hour, Tongtian unexpectedly ran into his two older brothers.

Tongtian, who was running away from home, couldn't stand this humiliation. He immediately sent a teleportation item back to his farm and closed the friend visit channel.

The game's friends interface keeps popping up messages.

[Brother Tortoise-Haired: This time you've learned your lesson.]

[Brother Tortoise-Haired: Don't mess up my farm next time.]

[Second Brother, you're a bit of a rascal: My elder brother and I are at the farm. Would you like to come now?]

Instead of coming, Tongtian ignored all the messages popping up on the game interface, choosing to ignore them and thus missing the message from Yuanyi that happened to be visiting.

It's still more comfortable to bask in the sun. Yuanshi is really too talkative; he didn't repeat a single word during that hour in the dark room.

Hey, the clouds in the sky?

Seeing the clouds gathering from all directions on the horizon, they somehow managed to form a sentence:

[Game producer [Yuan Yi] has applied to join the Nameless Swordsman's Farm. Would you approve?]

Isn't this a friend request notification? How come he doesn't remember having a friend named Yuan Yi?

Tongtian sat up from the ground, stroked his chin, and decided to summon the little ginseng that he hadn't seen in a long time to ask him a question.

Because Tongtian doesn't read messages, and the little ginseng, who was anxiously pacing around without being summoned, suddenly popped out of the ground with a "whoosh".

Little Ginseng grabbed Tongtian's right arm and said, "My lord, you've finally seen the message. The game producer has been requesting to be a friend and join the game for a long time. He just changed the formation and wants to join the world. He wants to discuss some things with you."

The little ginseng spoke in bits and pieces, but at least it helped Tongtian understand the reason behind it all.

Isn't the game producer the master of this formation? He had repeatedly requested to meet with him but had remained in seclusion, yet today he actually came to us on his own initiative.

Tongtian put a blade of grass in his mouth, leaned back, and lay down again: "I don't want to see anyone." He had just been captured by Yuanshi today and had no intention of discussing the Dao, so he didn't want to see anyone.

The little ginseng was stunned for a moment, and the three tears that he had deliberately forced out all got stuck in his eyeballs and disappeared.

"Why can't I see him? Didn't you always want to meet the game producer?" Little Ginseng froze.

Tongtian used a blade of grass as a sword, drawing a sharp sword strike before his eyes: "You always said you were in seclusion when you wanted to see me, but now that you're not here, you've come all this way."

Tongtian glanced at the little ginseng: "I wonder if some guy just didn't explain himself properly."

This little guy is incredibly cunning. After the tutorial, he's rarely seen except for recharging and asking questions. His sudden appearance today must be suspicious.

The grass stem, though weak, possessed a sharp, sword-like force, and just happened to brush against the arm of the little ginseng that was clinging to Tongtian. At this moment, the little ginseng also realized that it was because the nameless swordsman had agreed to his request but hadn't told his master, Yuanyi, immediately that the master knew about it.

"My lord, I'm innocent!" Little Ginseng pleaded, forcing back the tears that had just disappeared from his eyes. "The producer was indeed in seclusion that day working on a new game. I told him as soon as I came out today that a wise, powerful, and unfathomable lord wanted to meet him."

"The producer was shocked to hear that such a dashing and extraordinary person as you could be a gamer, so he took the initiative to visit you. However, since you blocked the message, the producer even deliberately changed the formation just to get your permission to enter. Normally, you would have just changed the formation to enter directly."

Flattery will get you everywhere. Tongtian saw that the little ginseng looked sincere and spoke clearly, so he believed him to some extent. As for the rest, that would depend on the skills of the new game producer.

Tongtian brushed off the grass clippings from his body and took out two jade tablets from his game inventory. He sat down on one, and placed the other just a little over three feet away from himself. With a small table in between, it became another place for discussion.

Seeing Tongtian's actions, the little ginseng felt relieved, realizing that this hurdle had been overcome.

Although he had no intention of reporting it at first, after all, his master said to protect her privacy and not to disclose her information casually, and every day people wanted to see his master for various reasons, he couldn't possibly report all these trivial matters.

However, he did indeed convey the message that the nameless swordsman wanted to pay his respects to his master after the master came out of seclusion, and the master came over when he found out.

I hope the master's invitation goes smoothly, and I hope he doesn't discover that he's trying to trick the nameless swordsman into spending money by promising to meet the master if he spends more.

Tongtian didn't think too much about it. He saw that the changing clouds in the sky were all controlled by the array. If he didn't pay attention to the array, the changing patterns of the clouds were no different from those outside.

Such masterful array formation skills are beyond my reach.

Tongtian waved his hand in praise, but although his formation was inferior to that of this fellow Daoist he had never met, he was unmatched in swordsmanship.

Since Fellow Daoist Yuan Yi has used formations to mobilize mountains, rivers, clouds, and mist to come and visit, I, as the host, cannot show any weakness.

Tongtian took out a Nine Mysterious Moon Flower from the warehouse, used the flower as a sword, twirled it, and threw it out.

The delicate flower branch, possessing no other strength, relied solely on the intent of the sword to soar straight into the sky and strike a point on the horizon: [Yes].

As it fell from the sky, the loose petals on the outer edge fluttered down, leaving only a small flower in the center clinging to it. It fell straight down, perfectly positioned, landing right in the hair of the visitor.

Author's Note: Yuan Yi: To stir up some trouble and get the other side to approve my application.

Tongtian: Fellow Daoist, you invited me with mountains, rivers, clouds, and rosy hues; I will surely greet you with the intent of the Tongtian Sword. Ah, you have no sword? Then I will use flowers as my sword to welcome you, Fellow Daoist. [Heart emoji]
