Chapter 347: Shu Mountain

The person who was qualified to guard the Forbidden Place was always the previous Nanhua Heavenly Fairy. Abandoning the world’s reverence for them and glories of life, they spent their whole lives sitting in this deserted graveyard in the Forbidden Place to guard the soul of an ultimate devil which had caused the horrifying catastrophe 1,000 years ago!

It was said that devils were born by the heaven and the earth, and they couldn’t be destroyed as long as the heaven and the earth existed. Each devil had extremely horrifying power, and once it was out, it would cause a devilish catastrophe in the whole world!

About 1,000 years ago, the Morning Star Sea Realm was at its peak of prosperity with many talented cultivators.

Just in the Nanhua Faction, there were three rare geniuses who had never been seen in the past 1,000 years. Their cultivation strength and understanding of techniques far surpassed the others, and the Faction Master at the time possessed the highest cultivation strength among all faction masters in the history of Nanhua Faction. When he was in charge of the faction, he had been at the middle stage of the Divine Palace Realm!

Besides the Nanhua Faction, other major factions such as the Yimu Daoist Palace and the Haoran Faction were also fraught with talented cultivators, and the ultimate geniuses were as bright as the stars in the sky.

However, it was also the darkest time in the whole Morning Star Sea Realm’s history, and no one wanted to talk about it even now. It was said that the group of talented cultivators fell like shooting stars in the devilish catastrophe in which the high-level cultivators of all the major factions died, and it was such a big blow to these factions that they had almost disappeared after the catastrophe since they had a hard time passing down their teachings and techniques.

In the end, they finally trapped the devil and spent 100 days to separate its flesh, bones, and soul and put them in three different places. The devil’s soul was suppressed in the Nanhua Faction!

It was said the devil soul was very cunning, and it excelled in luring people and was thus the most dangerous part!

At that time, many cultivators from different factions were lured to fight against their own before the battles, which caused heavy casualties to the whole cultivator army of the Morning Star Sea Realm.

Shui Xianyun was the previous Nanhua Heavenly Fairy and the person in the faction with the highest talent next to the Faction Master. She was also the First Elder with ultimate cultivation strength, guarding the Forbidden Place of Nanhua Faction.

While wearing white clothes, she had white hair and bloodless, snow-white skin, looking more like a devil rather than a human in this Forbidden Place which had been transformed into a devilish land.

With her white hair fluttered in the nightly wind, she had intense shame and fury in her eyes, looking like a prehistoric rare beast that had been fooled by its prey while on the hunt!

“What… really is happening?!” In theory, these disciples had been lured into her trap and couldn’t escape from her after their desires were intensified. Soon, these people would all become their slaves who wouldn’t object to anything.

However, things didn’t happen as she had expected.

She had summoned them here to further intensify their desires and suppress their own will using a secret technique, which would take only a few days. But something happened during these short few days!

“I was too careless…” Shui Xianyun said in hatred.

“It’s not your fault,” the voice in the depths of the darkness said with an endless chill. “It seems like someone is working against us!”

“Impossible! If someone is trying to work against us, it means that they have discovered us. Why wouldn’t this person report it to the faction instead of using this method…”

Obviously, if someone discovered the truth, the more solid next step would be reporting it to the faction.

Is it possible that another existence of the same level has been born? Shui Xianyun thought with a heavy mind since this was the only explanation for the transformations of the disciples who she had lured.

“I’ll investigate this issue!” she said in a deep voice, “I’ll get rid of everything that stands between you and your re-emergence!”

“Go,” the voice in the darkness said viciously, “When I re-emerge, everyone working against us will be turned into ashes!”

On the other side, with the popularity of Grand Theft Auto 5 and Harry Potter, the cultivators, especially the artifact masters in Wuwei Daoist Alliance, began to mimic some of the easy and effective spiritual artifacts shown in the game and the movie.

For example, the research institute led by Li Haoran had begun a new research project while they continued to improve the guns for cultivators.

At this moment, Li Haoran was looking at the artifact masters of the Blue Flame Pavilion around him with a top-quality communication jade in his hand.

“I think you know why I gathered you here.” Li Haoran waved the communication jade in his hand and said, “This is the best communication jade in our Blue Flame Pavilion, but what do you think of its functions?”

In fact, few of them had played Resident Evil, and many things in the game weren’t shown that well in detail. However, in Grand Theft Auto 5, the players enjoyed much more freedom, and the normal-day items’ functions began to show in full.

One cultivator answered, “Its functions are indeed too basic. In contrast, the communication tools in the game can take pictures, save screenshots, and even provide the map of the whole world and routes to specific destinations; they can even pay fees and transfer money using their communication tools.”

The differences were obvious by comparison.

Li Haoran said, “I gathered you here to make a brand-new communication jade which can not only deliver messages thousands of kilometers away but allow us to communicate with people who are thousands of miles away through video and audio. These are what we must achieve in the near future. I’ve just talked to Mr. Fang, and he promised that we will be able to connect our communication jades to QQ for free, which will enable us to talk in all the QQ group chats with communication jades even when our daily computer time is up.”

“Ugh… this…” They looked at each other in surprise, wondering how this was possible.

It must be noted that they had been teaming with the cultivators of the Morning Star Sea Realm to do jobs in the online mode of Grand Theft Auto 5. Many of them had established group chats, and they would talk and discuss the special features in their cultivation methods, spiritual spells, and spiritual artifacts on QQ aside from awkward daily conversations. They often chatted deep into the night and wished that they could spend the whole night talking.

However, they couldn’t do it since Mr. Fang set the hard limit on computer time.

“Do you have the confidence?”

“Yes, we can!” If they succeeded, they would be able to continue talking with communication jades despite the limit on computer time!

The Half City Shop was where almost all the cultivators in the city gathered. As for the movies and TV Series, the TV Series such as Jade Dynasty, which was in the Xianxia Genre, became very popular in the Half City Shop without Mr. Fang doing much promotion.

While the movies such as Harry Potter and Resident Evil opened the door to a broader world for the cultivators and warriors, showing them lots of stuff that they had never imagined before, the world of Xianxia, like the one in Jade Dynasty, gave the cultivators a deeper understanding of the cultivation system.

In fact, the number of activations for each episode of Jade Dynasty had reached 1,000 in the Half City Shop.

At this moment, Mr. Fang got a message from the System, [The sales of all the Xianxia and Immortal related items have gone over 1,000 on average, achieving the accomplishment ‘First Glance at Xianxia’. The movie ‘Shu Mountain’ is unlocked, and you will receive an accomplishment gift bag.]
