Di Xiu had never experienced a sound sleep before, but perhaps because the bed was so comfortable, or perhaps because he felt no threat, he slept until the room key began to glow yellow.
As he awoke, the light in the room gradually brightened, like dawn or dusk. Even Emperor Xiu was momentarily disoriented, as if he were still in Xia Hongfei's world.
He had slept for about five hours, and before he could figure out how long an hour was, half of it had already been wasted. While he felt bad about it, he also had to admit that the sleep had indeed made his whole soul feel much lighter, and the headache that had been throbbing due to the damage to his consciousness had also been relieved quite a bit.
Seeing that he had finally woken up, 001 recycled the sunflower seed shells scattered on the ground, turned off the "Tom and Jerry" movie on the projection screen, and handed him a glass of warm water.
Di Xiu accepted it and thanked him casually.
"Little Xiu Xiu, would you like to get something to eat? Or maybe wander around and have some fun? You gained a lot of merit and faith power in the last world, so you can go and see if there's anything you want to buy. However, there's generally nothing here that can repair the soul."
Because he brought blessings to the people, Emperor Xiu also received some faith power when he left.
001 didn't ask him why he slept for so long. Firstly, the bed was effective, and secondly, he really needed a good rest. If your nerves are constantly on edge, you'll break down, and yes, even a god will.
Di Xiu shook his head and refused.
"I want to go to the gladiatorial arena."
"Huh? Why?"
"To hone one's skills."
001 looked puzzled, then realized she hadn't told him: "If you want to exercise, you can do it in the room. That's the entertainment room, which can be converted into any function room you want. If you want to exercise, you can turn it into a gym or training room. The training room mode will generate virtual opponents, or you can generate a virtual version of yourself to fight against."
Thank you.
Di Xiu plunged into the training room and didn't come out until his ID card turned red. 001 then came over to interrupt him.
"Little Xiu Xiu, it's time to get ready to accept your mission."
Even the most realistic soul won't sweat. Emperor Xiu adjusted his clothes, feeling he looked presentable before going out.
Even a legendary war god like him still had some baggage to carry.
The randomness of accepting missions is quite high, and there are only three options: world level, high, medium, and low. Emperor Xiu unsurprisingly chose high.
The rest is up to fate.
[Worldline Genre: Fantasy]
[Task Difficulty Level: High]
001: "..."
Having just escaped one danger, am I about to fall into another? Waaah, please don't get sealed away the moment I go in again.
[Please begin the mission as soon as possible, 10...9...]
Unable to sense 001's heartache, Di Xiu stepped into the time-space tunnel, and 001 followed him in, dejected.
...
...
The Xuanling Continent is crisscrossed by mountain ranges.
This place is filled with ancient trees reaching for the sky, lush and verdant, brimming with spiritual energy, and picturesque scenery. However, it is one of the three forbidden areas on the continent, formed by the continuous winding of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, protecting ninety percent of the spiritual beasts on the continent.
This area is further divided into the outer perimeter, middle perimeter, inner circle, and core area.
Outside the outer perimeter, those below the Spirit Warrior level are forbidden from entering; in the middle perimeter, those below the Spirit King level are doomed; in the inner circle, Spirit Saints face a near-death experience; as for the core area, even Spirit Venerables can stay there, as it is said that ancient ferocious beasts reside there.
As a forbidden area, it has always maintained the dignity of a forbidden area, with birds silent and strangers not allowed to enter. But on this day, it was unusually lively.
I don't know which half-baked person drew the teleportation talisman, but the exit just happened to be on the outer edge of the mountain range. After landing, whether they were panicking and didn't realize they had been tricked, they actually dared to run in.
As soon as the person disappeared into the dense forest, several faint lights flashed within a seven or eight-foot radius of the landing point, and eighteen more people arrived. It was unclear whether they were using the same half-baked talisman.
"Split up and chase them. That traitor is now greatly weakened, and after being teleported, his injuries have worsened. He definitely can't have gone far. You guys go that way, you guys go that way."
The speaker wore a jade crown with sky-blue ribbons and a sky-blue robe with gold trim. The robe was decorated with intricate arrays outlined in slightly darker lines, one inside the other. At first glance, it was easy to feel dizzy and disoriented, and it was hard to tell if it was an illusion array.
This man was quite handsome, with a dashing and debonair appearance at first glance. However, the shrewdness and excitement in his eyes made one instinctively dislike him. He probably understood this as well, so he quickly concealed it, adopting a sorrowful yet righteous demeanor, vividly demonstrating what it means to be hypocritical.
Those who came with him recovered from the aftereffects of the teleportation. After recognizing where they were, they were filled with fear. Hearing what he said, they hesitated, looking at each other, and finally looked at another young man in a sky-blue robe.
The young man cupped his hands and said, "Senior Brother, this is the Zongheng Mountain Range. No matter how extraordinary Ren Xiaolingchuan was in the past, he would not have come out if he had entered here while he was seriously injured. These disciples are all elites of the sect. It would be too much of a waste to lose them here for his sake."
The one called the eldest brother frowned, a hint of impatience flashing across his face, but he quickly suppressed it, his smile both tolerant and firm: "Fifth brother, given that traitor's current state, he certainly wouldn't dare venture deep into the mountains. We are all the most outstanding talents on the continent. If we boost their morale and diminish our own, we'll become a laughingstock. That traitor might very well be lurking nearby, waiting to scare you away. If you really retreat, he'll ridicule you, and your fellow disciples back in the sect will look down on you too."
He sized up the group of interested peers, scoffing inwardly, but then added fuel to the fire: "Besides, that scoundrel injured Venerable Yuqing first and stole the sect's sacred artifact. When we chased after him, we promised the sect leader that we would bring the artifact back and bring that traitor back to the sect to be punished."
