I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players

In a hastily built forward outpost.

"You’re here?" The Mudworker and the others lit up.

"I’m here to help you."

Mu Xi’s expression softened a little as she said, "Actually, our sect has a hidden sect gate. The senior brothers use it to sneak in and out. Normal people don’t know about it."

Some things are explicitly forbidden.

Like designing vulnerabilities and secret entrances inside the sect, but behind closed doors, who really cares?

It’s just like at school—there are always people who want to climb the wall, dig secret gates, dog holes, and sneak out.

Anyway, in the Immortal Realm no one would attack their sect.

But now, things were different.

Boom!

Guided by the inner traitors, they silently breached the sect.

...

Inside the sect.

In the audience hall, a young, tall, imposing True Immortal looked down at one Celestial Immortal Great Perfection cultivator after another—powerhouses, prodigies.

"See? This is my power."

The young True Immortal was intoxicated by the feeling of a youthful body. "That lord let me live again. I’ve been brought back to life!"

"I’ve become young again."

"This wonderful power, this immense foundation..."

The True Immortal looked at the Celestial Immortals below and was already preparing to deal with them one by one.

Boom!

Right then, a tremor sounded from outside the sect.

The young True Immortal turned his head, his consciousness dropping onto the distant Mountain Gate. Seeing the dense mass of Resentful Ghosts, he couldn’t help but feel a bit surprised.

Was this monsters laying siege to the city?

The appearance of these monsters was very familiar.

"Isn’t this those monsters that besiege cities in the Illusion Realm? How did they run into reality and start attacking our Mountain Gate?"

"And following behind them... those are the Manor’s children, aren’t they?"

The True Immortal was shocked—his dream was bleeding into reality.

And within that tide of evil, a wicked leader flickered in and out of sight. It was Jiumu Qing leading the charge, bringing that batch of Evil Thought lifeforms she’d once used to attack Celestial Destiny Village.

The True Immortal felt a moment of confusion:

"The Illusion Realm... has entered reality? This under my feet isn’t Celestial Destiny Village, so why are monsters besieging my Mountain Gate?"

Very soon, the blacksmiths began their assault.

"Charge!"

"Brand-new dungeon—Wood Stronghold Sect!"

All over the place were Mortal and Human Immortal disciples who had just undergone Possession. Their minds were blank—it was the weakest period.

They could only be forcefully piled on, thrown straight into combat.

The weaklings on both sides started slamming into each other; the first to charge had an advantage, and the blacksmiths smashed people flying.

"That True Immortal up there, report your ID—we don’t chop down nameless nobodies!" A blacksmith shouted, kicking a Human Immortal away.

Mu Xi also controlled her character to charge forward killing. "Her ID is Wood City, one of those very inconspicuous types among True Immortals."

"So that’s how it is." Several blacksmiths yelled, "I remember you, Wood City. We once worked on the boss’s feet together—you’re good at backstab attacks."

True Immortal Wood City: "..."

It was clearly a proper combat move—how did it sound so perverted coming out of their mouths?

"How did you even get here..." True Immortal Wood City felt his perception cracking. The same thought popped up that the previous Celestial Immortal boss had had:

Where am I? Have I turned into some virtual boss from the Illusion Realm?

Kill!

A whole group swarmed up.

Su Yuniang’s army charged, the blacksmith army charged.

Practically every unit had a female Spirit Farmer traitor leading the slaughter, commanding the combat, exposing all sorts of trump cards of this sect.

Watching this, Wood City finally processed what was going on and flew into a rage:

"This... Mu Xi, it’s you people. Your true bodies are still in our sect, and you actually betrayed the sect, using your characters to attack us?"

"You’re the one who betrayed the sect." Mu Xi shouted back.

A flash of killing intent passed through Wood City’s eyes. These inner traitors had to be executed first.

But Jiumu Qing quickly blocked him. "Your opponent is me. Got it?"

Boom!

The two sides immediately clashed in a tangled melee.

Jiumu Qing was dead and couldn’t receive version updates.

But her version had actually been upgraded, because she’d obtained Ning Zheng’s doll body and the Shadow Crocodile shadow.

She could use 50% of Ning Zheng’s basic power, as long as she learned how to control it.

That made her version stronger than this True Immortal’s. Ning Zheng’s Seven Colors Spiritual Root build was not for show.

The two slammed into each other viciously.

"You bastard! So you people from Xi Rong..."

Wood City was a smart one; he seemed to pick up on some of the clues.

"I see now—you’re similar to that batch of Tribulation Cultivators who can split off Dharma Aspects for remote combat!"

"Your civilization can use some method to let a ’Dharma Aspect’ enter a body and fight remotely!"

He didn’t understand Sword Casting Manor, but he’d recently heard of Xin Xichen and those Tribulation Cultivators’ exploits.

In his eyes, what he was seeing was also remote Dharma Aspect warfare, the same underlying principle as Xin Xichen and the others.

"Your civilization is really damn weird—remote warfare. You Heaven’s Chosen don’t care if these Dharma Aspect bodies die, but you’ll definitely be located through Divination on your true bodies. You dare rebel?"

True Immortal Wood City’s killing intent flared as he roared.

"You’re the rebel."

Jiumu Qing also felt that True Immortal Wood City’s guess was pretty on point.

The structural principle of Xi Rong Manor’s Immortal Artifact was essentially similar to a Dharma Aspect, letting people remotely control a Dharma Aspect for combat.

Got to admit, both True Immortals saw through the core mechanism.

After all, Ning Zheng’s "Sword Casting Manor" was essentially an evolving-type Immortal Artifact. It worked on the same underlying principle as Nine-State’s Dharma Aspects.

Nine-State’s Dharma Aspects were basically a different kind of player, weren’t they?

Nine-State cultivators were just that hard to kill!

Their bodies are hard to kill, they keep looping through Rebirth, and they can even run dungeons from afar—every aspect is disgustingly nasty.
