"Holy crap! There really is a cultivation world! This game company is amazing! It was worth using up all my luck to win one of the only spots in this game!"
Zhen Po stood on a mountain path that seemed to stretch endlessly, winding like a towering mountain peak reaching into the clouds. Her loud voice could be heard by Lu Xiaoyao and Lu Gui, who were more than ten meters away.
This game is said to be still in development by their company, and they originally did not plan to release it.
Because of the Zerg, the game company said that in this emergency, they had to act expediently, so unusually, they directly granted access to the game, with a limit of 500 people!
While everyone was stunned, the game company only said that this game world would only be open to the public once, with 500 players at a time. Regardless of whether they succeeded or not, the game would not give anyone a second chance to enter.
Some students wondered, if they failed and couldn't re-enter, what would happen to the Zerg in the game?
The game designers' answer was also concise: their failure showed that the Zerg had once again escaped the game world.
The game ends with the Zerg using the villain to shatter the game space and escape once again.
Thus, the moment that would determine the fate of every military academy student, large or small, who was involved in this operation throughout the Federation and the Empire had arrived!
Draw lots!
This time, Lu Gui has finally escaped his unlucky streak and entered the game.
When Lu Gui first received that detailed and complex identity, and faced with a bunch of knowledge that completely deviated from common sense in the interstellar era, he felt that this game was not simple.
"Hey Zhen Po, you're so noisy!" As brothers, the more Lu Xiao got to know Zhen Po, the more he realized that Zhen Po was indeed a chatterbox with a loud voice!
Although Zhen Hu also has a loud voice, he is not like Zhen Po.
"Aren't you afraid of disturbing the cultivators? If they kick you off the mountain, let's see what you do then!"
On the way here, Lu Xiaoyao had already used her social skills to find out that today was the opening ceremony of the Jingyun Mountain sect, a cultivation sect.
It is said that Jingyun Mountain was closed for a hundred years before it was reopened a few years ago. This year marks the first time in a hundred years that Jingyun Mountain has recruited disciples.
"Normally, this once-in-a-century event should be quite a big celebration, shouldn't it?"
Although Zhen Po had never actually lived in a real world of cultivation, he had read a lot of novels! (www.cascoo.net)
"Shouldn't this place be filled with rosy clouds and auspicious multicolored clouds, with cultivators from all walks of life floating around? Or perhaps riding flying swords or cranes..."
As Zhen Po was speaking, a clear bird song came from above them. The three of them looked up in the direction of the sound and saw two white-robed immortals standing on cranes flying towards the mountaintop.
"Wow, you guessed it!"
This was the first time Lu Xiaoyao had ever seen such a scene. She imagined that the great figures in their physics textbooks would have to crawl out of their urns and rebuild themselves if they saw this.
Oh, and there are also biology experts who must be wondering what genes make such a large, beautiful crane capable of carrying people.
"What are you waiting for? If you're any later, you'll miss the apprenticeship ceremony."
At this moment, a group of novice cultivators dressed similarly to Lu Xiaoyao and her companions also arrived, and one of them couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at the three of them standing in a daze at the foot of Jingyun Mountain:
"What? You're already scared off by the Ten Thousand Steps of Heart-Questioning at Jingyun Mountain?"
"What... Ah, what is the 'Questioning the Heart'?"
Lu Gui imitated the locals' manner of speaking and struck up a conversation with the NPCs who initiated dialogue with them.
"You dare to come to Jingyun Mountain without even knowing this?" The man was also surprised. Looking at the three people in front of him, who looked like country bumpkins who had just come out of the deep mountains, he suddenly had a bad feeling.
Especially when he finished explaining the origin of the Heart-Questioning Steps, the ominous premonition in his heart grew even stronger.
Sure enough, the next second—
Lu Xiaoyao: "Wow! That's amazing! Can you really tell if someone is a good person just by walking up these steps?"
Passerby NPC: "It's not about being a good person, it's about whether your character is firm or not."
Lu Xiaoyao: "It's okay, people with weak willpower will inevitably cause trouble sooner or later. It's the same!"
Passerby NPC: "..." Whatever makes you happy.
Zhen Po: "This long staircase, is it really made of a single stone? Holy crap! It's probably not a meteorite!"
Passerby NPC: "???"
Why do I feel like I don't understand?
Lu Gui: "According to you, it's difficult for people with inner demons to complete the 'Questioning the Heart' stage?"
Passerby A: "Yeah, at best you'll just roll down the mountain, covered in... well, it's okay, I heard Jingyun Mountain will send disciples to check on you. Even if that happens, they won't just ignore you; they'll heal you and send you down the mountain. As for serious injuries... damage to your Dao heart, inner demons haunting your mind, making future cultivation... difficult!"
Lu Gui: "Does indirectly causing your mother's death count as a mental demon?"
Passerby A: ? ?
No, did he hear that right?!
The person in front of me... "Did your mother have a difficult childbirth when she gave birth to you?" Passerby A decided to have a little gossip.
"No, it's because I've grown up. She wanted me dead, so I said something that made her so angry she died."
Passerby A: ? ? ? !
What shocking revelation is this?! They dare to come here?!
...
On the same mountain, some people are struggling with the myriad steps and questions at the foot of the mountain, while others are already on the mountain and feel as if they have traveled to another world.
Mingmei stood in front of the cave entrance on a mountain peak deep in Jingyun Mountain, blinked, and looked back at the thousand-year-old peach tree that had regained its vitality, as if confirming something.
"Guigui, am I... back?" Mingmei was unsure if what she was seeing was real.
[Host, this is a game. Please check your identity.]
"Ah...yes, games."
Mingmei stood in a daze before this familiar cave, not checking her character information as Guigui had instructed. Instead, she stretched out her delicate white hand and walked with practiced ease to a clear spring beside the peach tree.
It seems that what she remembers hasn't changed much; this game is so detailed!
Thinking of Mingmei, she looked down and glanced at her reflection in the spring.
Sure enough, she shrank.
This is a picture of my chubby face when I was four years old.
Mingmei turned her head and looked at the tightly closed cave. Standing under the peach tree on the edge of the mountaintop, Mingmei looked up and saw that the place where her family lived was the highest peak in the entire Jingyun Mountain.
From here, one can take in the entire Jingyun Mountain. Watching the busy figures flying back and forth on the various peaks from time to time, Mingmei suddenly remembered that this was the first disciple-acceptance ceremony held in Jingyun Mountain after it was reopened.
This time, Jingyun Mountain not only received many disciples with exceptional talent and unwavering character, but also a bunch of junior disciples sent by other righteous cultivation sects.
They called it mutual exchange, but in reality, they were all after that prophecy from the Butianmen divination hall...
