Chapter 46 Zhangdao Island, Jumping off a Cliff
Chapter 46 Zhangdao Island, Jumping off a Cliff
Lu Chao blinked.
What is that?
Ten sets of remains were found?
Ye Cuihua's father has ten ones?
Did the team die at Lion Rock?
Otherwise, how could we collect ten?
"This system is garbage, how am I supposed to complete this task?"
Lu Chao was feeling frustrated. The mission reward was very tempting, and he was very curious about what the ancient sword cultivator's inheritance would be, but the mission objective was just too outrageous.
He took the jade pendant from Ye Cuihua with little interest, when he suddenly received a system notification.
"Ding! You have obtained the quest item 'Tethering Jade'. Under the effect of the Tethering Jade, you will definitely enter the fifth level of the Linglang Secret Realm when you jump off Lion Cliff!"
At this moment, Niu Daren said, "There's no time to lose, Junior Brother Lu Chaoding. I'll trouble you to quickly return to Lion Mountain to search for Senior Linlang's remains. Cuihua and I will wait for you here. If you bring back the remains, we'll board Cuihua's flying boat together and leave the Great Sword Sect. We'll then develop our careers in Tiancong Prefecture!"
"All right!"
Lu Chaoding seemed a bit listless and asked again, "Do you still have any of this 'Connecting Jade'? Could you give me ten pieces?"
Ye Cuihua said, "There is only one piece of the Jade Link. After you find my father's remains, come here, and I will fulfill my promise!"
After saying that, the burly and strong eldest sister-in-law pulled Niu Daren along and slowly flew towards the exquisite flying boat.
Lu Chaoding wanted to follow, but was bounced back by an invisible force. He landed on the reef and could only watch helplessly as Niu Daren and Ye Cuihua boarded the exquisite flying boat. Then the flying boat turned around, passed through the light barrier, and disappeared.
"You two went off to have some fun, treating me like a conscript, didn't you?"
Lu Chao flicked his sleeves. He figured that this opportunity mission, which had been tampered with by the unreliable system, would be difficult to complete. If he really couldn't complete it, he would report it to the NPC in charge of the Great Sword Sect. Maybe he could even earn some merit that way.
A moment later, Lu Chaoding left the small island. He didn't have the patience to continue exploring the map. He thought it wouldn't hurt to go back to Lion Cliff and jump again. Although the chances of finding ten sets of Ye Linlang's remains were slim, there might be some treasures in the fifth level of the Linlang Secret Realm.
On the way back, Lu Chaoding got a little bored, so he went to the Tianxing Forum.
The Tianxing Forum is currently very popular, with many players active on it and numerous discussion posts. Lu Chaoding's post about jumping off a cliff at nightfall has long been buried.
Lu Chao browsed through the posts for a while and was soon drawn to one titled "[The True Story and Unofficial History of Niu Daren]", posted by a person nicknamed "Famous Movie Star Niu Daren".
"As we all know, Niu Daren is our most beloved senior brother. He manifests in 12 forms, distributed across Lion Mountain, Dog Tooth Mountain, and Broken Sky Mountain, guiding us forward and fighting alongside us. So, how much do you all know about this famous NPC of Tianxing Island? As a beta tester, I'd like to reminisce about my time with Senior Brother Niu Daren and share some thoughts for your reference..."
"When I first met Niu Daren at the Lion Mountain Sword Monument camp, I perceived him as an ordinary quest guide NPC and peddler with very limited intelligence. It wasn't until I saw him unleash the Fiery Heavenly Dog at Fiery Dog Fang Mountain that I realized our seemingly honest senior brother was actually an undercover agent planted by the Golden Sword Sect within the Great Sword Sect..."
"Later, when I met my senior brother in the secret chamber of the Broken Sky Mountain Sect Leader, I realized that I had been fooled by his acting skills again. It turned out that he was a double agent. He was an undercover agent planted by the Giant Sword Sect in the Golden Sword Sect, and then planted by the Golden Sword Sect in the Great Sword Sect! But this was not the truth..."
"Our senior brother has another identity. He is the son of the Supreme Elder of the Great Sword Sect. He is an unparalleled genius who has been sealed for three hundred years. He is a trump card that the Supreme Elder used to deal with the Ancient Sword Demon Ye Longxing. In terms of seniority, he is actually our grandmaster uncle..."
"When Ye Longxing is born, and the Great Sword Sect's leader, protectors, and elders are all slaughtered, our eldest brother will find his destiny, transforming from a sword demon into a sword god, shouldering the crisis alone, single-handedly stopping Ye Longxing, and becoming our savior!"
"It's a pity Ye Longxing was too powerful. Senior Brother's ending was tragic; he was ultimately killed by Ye Longxing. However, his sacrifice will buy us time, allowing us to safely escape Tianxing Island. Below, I've listed the locations and levels of Senior Brother's twelve incarnations, as well as some plot information about him. Feel free to check and fill in any gaps..."
The post was very long, several thousand words long. Lu Chaoding quickly read it through. He wasn't interested in Niu Daren's storyline; he just wanted to see if the post mentioned Niu Daren on the overseas island, or Ye Cuihua.
The result was no.
Many players left comments below the post, adding a lot of information about Niu Daren, but none of them mentioned Niu Daren at level 25 on the overseas island, and no one mentioned Ye Cuihua either.
"Perhaps some beta testers are aware of his existence, but haven't made it public..."
After a moment's thought, Lu Chaoding closed the post and continued browsing. A short while later, he found another post that interested him.
Post title: [Brief introduction to the plot of Skywalker Island].
Posted by: "Ye Longxing"!
"Let me briefly explain the plot of Tianxing Island. If this is helpful to you, please give me a like to help me complete the posting task."
"Simply put, the storyline of Tianxing Island consists of only three acts: [Sword Debate at Lion Mountain], [Sword Forging at Dog Fang Mountain], and [The Great Calamity at Po Xu Mountain]. As these three acts unfold, the system's functions are gradually unlocked..."
"I won't mention the Tianxing Forum and Tianxing Sword Tournament. After the Lion Mountain Sword Tournament storyline ends, the trading post will open. There is also a random event here, which allows players to invade other newbie villages. Every day from 2 pm to 6 pm, find Niu Daren in the mountaintop camp and talk to him. You can start it by paying 500 gold coins. It's a small game with no real reward. It's just about fighting each other."
"After the Lion Mountain Sword Tournament concludes, the passage from the back mountain to Fiery Fang Mountain will open. There's a new NPC on Fiery Fang Mountain named Elder Mo, a swordsmith. Find him, talk to him, and collectively submit 5000 Fiery Stones to unlock the 'Fang Mountain Sword Forging' storyline. After that, you'll be farming dungeons, gathering materials, and commissioning Elder Mo to forge swords. Once Elder Mo has forged a total of 400 three-star Fiery Swords, the storyline will end, and the system will activate the live stream function..."
"Normally, the storyline of Fiery Fang Mountain will last 5 to 10 days, but there is an unethical method that can shorten the storyline to within three days and also obtain the four-star weapon Fiery Sword. I will not go into the details of how to do it. I would like to remind beta testers to use this method with caution, because if you do it, our senior brother will be seriously injured and will not be as brave in the third act of the storyline."
"After the 'Forging Swords at Dogtooth Mountain' storyline concludes, Elder Mo will arrange for us to deliver the 400 Fiery Swords we forged to the Fiery Hall of the Great Sword Sect. This will open the passage to the Great Sword Piercing Void Mountain. After a few days of eating, drinking, and having fun with Niu Daren, the real Ye Longxing will escape from the Heavenly Prison. At that time, the 'Great Calamity of Piercing Void Mountain' will begin. What we need to do is try our best not to get killed. When our senior brother bravely covers our escape, don't hesitate to immediately take a boat out to sea. After that, you can choose a sect to join, and the novice village storyline will end..."
This post received a lot of likes, and Lu Chaoding also liked it after reading it.
He continued browsing other posts...
About two hours later, Lu Chaoding returned to Boiling Blood Lion Mountain. It was already night. He closed the Tianxing Forum, headed straight for Lion Cliff, and then, holding the Qianji Jade, rode a tiger and leaped down the cliff.
(P.S.: The new book isn't doing so well, please keep reading and give me your support, thank you!)
