Absolute Destiny Game.

Chapter 492 Achieving Immortality and Attaining the Dao: Today Only

Xiao Jie stood on the rooftop of the building, gazing at the distant night view.

He vaguely felt that the scene before him was somewhat familiar, as if he had just seen it before.

Just as I was wondering, a voice suddenly came from behind me.

"Brother Suifeng, you have such refined tastes, enjoying stargazing and moon-gazing here."

Xiao Jie was momentarily bewildered. The phrase sounded quite familiar. He subconsciously looked up and, sure enough, saw a sky full of stars hanging high in the sky.

Turning around, he saw a Taoist priest in a green robe smiling at him.

It's not a wind instrument!

"Brother Feng, how did you get here..." He was startled and alert. Feng Buqi was a character in the game, how could he appear in reality?

Wait, am I dreaming?

As soon as this thought entered my mind, everything around me suddenly took on an illusory appearance.

Xiao Jie was no ordinary man; he instantly regained his senses.

"Brother Feng, you came to my dream, is there something you want to tell me?"

"Brother Suifeng, you reacted so quickly. Alas, I have wandered for half my life and been confused all my life. At the end, I finally remembered some of my past and future, but I was caught up in the great war again. Back then, Brother Suifeng advised me not to go to that Wang Xie and to be a carefree Taoist. Now it seems that your advice was truly heartfelt."

It's a pity that some things, even knowing the danger, we have no choice but to do. Fortunately, I spent over a month with Wang Xie and learned many things, so I can say I died with understanding. Now that my time has come, I've come to say goodbye.

Xiao Jie felt a pang of sympathy, vaguely guessing what was going on. "Brother Feng, where are you headed?"

"Since I came into this world, I will go where I am going. Since I am no ordinary person, I am naturally not required to suffer the pains of reincarnation..."

After saying a few words, he suddenly became sentimental again: "Look at the sky full of stars, how beautiful they are! Whenever I see such a sight, it always makes me feel that people are never truly alone in this vast world..."

I recently remembered something very important, Brother Suifeng, listen carefully—”

Xiao Jie suddenly woke up, but all he could see was the bedroom ceiling.

Phew, it really was just a dream.

What you think about during the day, you dream about at night. It's probably because I was thinking about Feng Buqi while playing games yesterday.

He had actually dreamt of Feng Buqi. What did he say to him again...? Xiao Jie tried to recall what Feng Buqi had said to him in the dream, but he couldn't remember a single word.

For a moment, I felt a sense of loss.

Before we knew it, it was 8 o'clock.

Thinking about what he had to do today, Xiao Jie focused his mind and entered the game.

Before eight o'clock, all team members had arrived.

Xiao Jie glanced at everyone, but hesitated for a moment when his gaze fell on Gu Feiyu.

"Xiao Gu, your level is too low, your equipment is poor, and your professional skills are not yet fully developed. You shouldn't participate in this operation."

"Ah, Brother Jie, it's me—"

"No need to say more, I have made up my mind."

Although this battle was almost a sure thing, Xiao Jie still felt that there might be some special dangers. Gu Feiyu's health was too low and his margin for error was too small, so it was better not to get involved.

Others might not be instantly killed even if they encounter danger, but Gu Feiyu might be.

Without allowing Gu Feiyu any objection, Xiao Jie gave the order, "Let's go."

When the group left the inn and arrived at the square, a whole guild of players from the Dragon Soaring Guild had already gathered there.

Xiao Jie, who was leading the team, recognized him as Dongfang Sheng.

Dongfang Sheng is now a level 32 Netherworld Ghost General, clad in black iron armor, wielding a Netherworld Iron Halberd, and riding a fully armored warhorse, exuding a rather imposing aura. Although he can't compare to Xiao Jie's team, he is still considered a well-equipped expert compared to the average player.

"Good morning, Brother Feng. The guild leader told me to bring some people to do a mission with you."

Looking at the crowd behind Xiao Jie, Dongfang Sheng felt a surge of envy and jealousy. He regretted not clinging to Xiao Jie's coattails back then; otherwise, he would be just as powerful now.

Look at these guys, all dressed in orange and purple, I'm so envious.

Xiao Jie glanced at the group of people.

There were exactly forty people, most of whom were only around level 20, with only four or five above level 30. Moreover, they were all ordinary physical damage dealers, clearly excellent cannon fodder.

"Hmm, these are your group members?"

"Yes, although the level is not very high, only a second-tier group, everyone trains very hard, and they are definitely reliable in raids."

Although Dongfang Sheng was unsure of himself, he couldn't let his words weaken his morale.

He thought that Brother Feng would find fault with this second-rate team, but to his surprise, the other party said with satisfaction: "Not bad, they all look very elite, just right for this operation. Come with me in a bit."

After saying that, Xiao Jie shouted to everyone, "Now let's do one last check. If we still need supplies, go and buy them quickly. If there are no problems, we'll set off."

Indeed, some people were unprepared. Several people walked out of the group in twos and threes, some lacking pills and others lacking talismans.

Xiao Jie didn't criticize them harshly and urged everyone to get to work quickly.

After about ten minutes of fussing, everything was finally ready, and Xiao Jie led the main force out of Luoyang City.

The grand procession sped off in the northwest.

Although the team cooperating with the operation was a second-tier team with average strength, it was still a large guild after all, and all of them were equipped with horses, so their speed was not bad.

After a rapid journey, the group soon entered the boundless wilderness.

Xiao Jie still remembers the disarray he felt when he first came here, being chased around by wild monsters by the roadside. But this time, he is a completely different person.

"Look, there's a BOSS over there!" someone suddenly exclaimed.

Xiao Jie looked in the direction of the sound and, sure enough, saw a wild BOSS—the Netherworld Ghost General! Armored in black and riding a black horse, it was wandering the wilderness. Xiao Jie remembered being chased by this thing and almost scared to death when he passed through this place before, but this time—

The ghost general suddenly looked up in this direction, turned his horse, and rode away.

"Brother Feng—"

"Ignore it, the mission is the priority."

"Oh."

Dongfang Sheng was somewhat disappointed. He had originally thought he could get some loot from bosses along the way, but he became excited again when he thought about the mission objective. The guild leader had said that this time, he was going to follow Brother Feng on a mission to take down a high-level resource point, and after the mission was completed, they would get priority access to the first batch of resource materials from the resource point.

Although the guild will definitely send people to take over the occupation later, they will definitely get a big piece of the pie in the first wave of benefits.

Besides, everyone in the guild knows that following Brother Feng will bring you rewards.

A boss that Feng Ge has his eye on is bound to drop good loot. As the team leader, I'm sure I'll get a share of the loot.

After traversing mountains, winding through valleys, and crossing deserts, Xiao Jie ran for three hours straight until noon when he finally saw the shadow of that forest again.

Xiao Jie led his team to a stop on a hilltop, looking down at the labyrinthine forest below and Mount Konglao on the other side of the forest. His emotions were in turmoil and he could hardly calm down.

I'm finally back, finally facing all of this again. The vows I made when I left are now my due.

Achieve immortality and attain enlightenment—it happens today!
Xiao Jie stared for a long time, and finally someone in the crowd behind him couldn't help but ask, "Brother Feng, shall we go down?"

"No, you all wait here. I need to do some preparations. If everything goes well, we might not need to take any risks at all."

"Everyone, protect me, I'm about to refine the Dragon Ball."
