Chapter 65

Unlike the increasingly bizarre real world, the game world has recently entered a period of stability.

After the new version was launched, players began to explore the changes in the game. As a result, many activities among players have also changed.

After "Legendary World" turned into "Dragon Tomb," many players became interested in the "Dragon Clan."

What is the Dragon Clan?

In the game, the Dragon Clan represents the most powerful race in the world. Each member of the Dragon Clan can be compared to the legendary great powers of ancient times. Even the Asuras and demons in the game cannot match the Dragon Clan in this aspect. This is the charm of the Dragon Clan.

However, after entering the game, Zhou Xian did not pay attention to these matters.

He just stood in the front hall of the Flowing Cloud Temple, silently observing his skills.

"Indeed, it has been brought into the game."

After seeing this skill, Zhou Xian understood that the panel he used in the game and in the real world was the same.

"If it weren't for the various supernatural elements, I would probably already think that this isn't a game at all."

Zhou Xian looked at the Wu Jin Tian Kui Sword in his hand.

In the game, this sword was bound to him, but in the real world, he could use other weapons.

What if he could bring items from the game... into the real world?

Zhou Xian had obtained five orbs that could increase his level in the real world, which indicated that this was not impossible.

Otherwise, how would the items in the game appear in the real world?

"Now, I have confirmed that the attribute panel I use in the game and in the real world is the same..."

Zhou Xian recalled the words Zhang Taihuo had said.

If he were killed in the game... what would happen to him in the real world?

This matter no longer seemed to be just a guess.

"Never mind, now is not the time to speculate about this."

Zhou Xian opened his quest interface, and the complex storylines of the Emperor Quests began to swirl in his mind.

"It seems... I have to go and ask the Seven Cultivations Sea for an explanation."

The Seven Cultivations Sea is a vast and terrifying evil organization in the game. Its power in the game is comparable to that of the Iron Blood Demon City, but the Seven Cultivations Sea prefers to act in secret, engaging in conspiracies and intrigues, so its reputation is not as prominent.

The Seven Cultivations Sea has always sought to rule the demon race in the game. In this regard, the Flowing Cloud lineage, which Zhou Xian leads, has been threatened by the Seven Cultivations Sea. Zhou Xian became the current abbot of the Flowing Cloud Temple because he helped the Flowing Cloud lineage drive away the Seven Cultivations Sea.

Other forces like "Yin Ming Mountain" and "Ghost King Cave" have already submitted to the Seven Cultivations Sea.

The origin of the Seven Cultivations Sea is even more formidable.

The organization's earliest origin is a mysterious powerful being named "Nine Abysses."

This Nine Abysses has a mysterious origin. After unifying the sea race, he sought to rule the entire continent. At that time, the Seven Cultivations Sea not only sought to rule the demon race but also attacked the human race, making them enemies of both races.

Later, due to the efforts of powerful beings like the Dark Butterfly Great Sage, Nine Abysses was finally suppressed and sealed. However, the Seven Cultivations Sea, like a centipede that does not die even when cut, began to cause trouble after these ancient great powers gradually withdrew from the world.

Since becoming the current abbot of the Flowing Cloud Temple, Zhou Xian has obtained a lot of information about the Seven Cultivations Sea.

"Could this hidden mastermind be Nine Abysses?"

According to his father's diary, he once communicated with someone named "Flowing Cloud," and in the game, only the powerful Flowing Cloud Ancestor uses this name.

Nine Abysses is a more formidable existence than Flowing Cloud Ancestor. If the final enemy is Nine Abysses, it makes sense.

"What is this Nine Abysses, anyway?!" Zhou Xian couldn't help but sigh.

"Master, from your expression, are you investigating Nine Abysses?"

Martin Luther King emerged from the sword, seemingly having digested all the weapons he had consumed. He addressed Zhou Xian affectionately as "Master."

"Yes, this guy has a mysterious origin, and my future development will inevitably involve dealing with Nine Abysses. Now, I don't know much about him, which is a problem."

Martin Luther King nodded in agreement: "Nine Abysses is a coiling dragon, a very rare existence even among the Dragon Clan. The Dark Butterfly Great Sage had to go to great lengths to seal Nine Abysses, and even had to use the power contained in the sea eye to accomplish it. The memories of Nine Abysses are likely stored in the core of the Wu Jin Tian Kui Sword. To understand his identity, I need to recover to my most complete state."

This was like saying nothing at all.

"In other words, besides knowing that this guy is a rare coiling dragon among the Dragon Clan, there is no other information?"

"Pretty much, yes." Martin Luther King jumped onto Zhou Xian's shoulder. After "digesting," he became more active.

"Coiling dragon? So Nine Abysses is actually a dragon?"

Martin Luther King had mentioned similar information before, but this was the first time Zhou Xian heard that Nine Abysses was a genuine dragon.

"But knowing that Nine Abysses is a dragon is enough information for now." Zhou Xian had already identified the suspect in the real world.

What should he do next?

Should he go and find the suspect from the Seven Cultivations Sea, or continue to complete the Emperor Quests?

"You have a new message."

The system notification suddenly rang, interrupting Zhou Xian's train of thought.

Zhou Xian opened the notification and found that it was a message from the Dark Angel.

"Dark Angel sister?"

Zhou Xian was curious and opened the message.

"…This is demon race script?!"

After opening the message, Zhou Xian discovered that the Dark Angel had written to him in the unique demon race script of the game, not in Chinese or any other language!

"Be careful, there are people from the Seven Cultivations Sea among the Emperor players, and they have already set their sights on you."

This simple sentence made Zhou Xian alert.

He thought for a moment and then summoned Qing Lianzi.

"Abbot, what are your orders?"

Qing Lianzi is a capable young member of the Flowing Cloud lineage, and his strength is no less than that of elite players.

"Have there been any strange occurrences around our Flowing Cloud Temple recently?" Zhou Xian asked.

"Strange... we haven't noticed anything, but recently, the number of spies around Baihua City has increased. They almost reached our Flowing Cloud Temple last time, but we dealt with them."

"Spies, huh?"

Baihua City, as a new city, attracts not only players but also the attention of the two major forces in the game: the Vermilion Bird Kingdom and the Black Tortoise Kingdom. They are both watching this new city that suddenly appeared in the neutral zone between their territories.

So, it's not surprising that they would send spies and scouts.

In fact, it's quite common.

Therefore, Qing Lianzi and his team didn't pay much attention to the spies in Baihua City. However, after seeing Zhou Xian's expression, Qing Lianzi realized something was wrong. After some thought, he added, "Recently, it seems that more people are trying to pass through the array of the Flowing Cloud Temple, whether intentionally or unintentionally. The number of these people has increased significantly compared to before."

The Flowing Cloud Temple is not just a temple; it is also a powerful flying treasure. In the hands of the Flowing Cloud Ancestor, it was a terrifying weapon.

Although the current owner, Zhou Xian, has reduced its power due to damage, it can still activate a confusing array.

"What about those who tried to break through the array?" Zhou Xian asked again.

"The Flowing Cloud Temple is a legacy of the Flowing Cloud Ancestor, with extraordinary power. How could ordinary people break through the confusing array of the Flowing Cloud Temple?" Qing Lianzi's face showed disdain. Although the Flowing Cloud lineage has been in a state of decline for many years, it still retains considerable strength. Even if the array is not complete, they can secretly enhance it. If such an array were broken by an ordinary spy, they might as well buy a block of tofu and smash their heads against it.

Hearing Qing Lianzi's response, Zhou Xian did not immediately relax.

Why did the Dark Angel send him such a message?

Why did she use the demon race script instead of the script from the real world?

"Is Dark Angel sister in danger?" No, given the "godly rich" status of the Zhang family, Zhou Xian thought no one could threaten them. He reconsidered: "Is it because it's unsafe?"

If the usual communication channels were unsafe, it would be reasonable for her to send the message this way.

But why didn't she let her brother, Zhang Taihuo, relay the message to him, and instead use this strange method? "Qing Lianzi, the security around the Flowing Cloud Temple should be strengthened recently. Be cautious of those who are secretly watching us." "Yes, Abbot!" After Qing Lianzi left, Zhou Xian rubbed his temples: "I hate these kinds of puzzles." His lips twitched. Should he send a message back to ask?

"Never mind, I'll just reply in the demon race script—"

With this thought, Zhou Xian opened the reply interface and activated the mind-reading mode.

Mind-reading mode allows the system to read and write down the text generated by one's brain. This method is convenient, but because each word must be thought out one by one, it is not fast.

"Unrecognized font code. Are you trying to send an image?"

However, when Zhou Xian thought of the first demon race character, he was stunned.

"What... is this?"

Can't write?

"Switch to handwriting input." Zhou Xian changed the system input to handwriting, but the demon race characters still could not be recognized.

This sudden change made Zhou Xian frown.

Zhou Xian reopened the Dark Angel's message, selected all the demon race characters, copied them, and pasted them into his own message.

"Sorry, unrecognized code."

The system's strange prompt appeared again.
