Chapter 154 Sealing the Ancient God
Zui Wan Gu Hong wiped the long sword in his hand, then found a rock to sit on. Looking at the corpse lying on the grass, he suddenly spoke:

"I haven't met someone so skilled with a knife in a long time."

He became fascinated with kendo when he was 13 years old.

Later, his family found him a nine-time world fencing champion to be his sparring partner.

More than three months later, the fencing champion voluntarily resigned from his sparring job.

By the third month, the champion's chances of winning against Gu Hong had been decreasing, until the end of the third month when he could no longer defeat Gu Hong.

After that, Gu Hong never practiced swordsmanship again, and his interest shifted to knives, spears, halberds, axes, hooks, forks, and so on.

By the age of 15, he had mastered all weapons and achieved the best in each field.

So he picked up the sword again.

If you don't have an opponent, just imagine one in your mind.

The imaginary opponent looks exactly like me and has the same strength, but each time there seems to be room for improvement, and I always manage to defeat myself from yesterday.

I have been practicing swordsmanship again for ten years now, day after day.

After resting for a while, Gu Hong sheathed his sword, stood up, and looked down at Ye Luoyanyu:

"In the real world, your swordsmanship is already top-notch, but your appearance and demeanor don't seem like those of a trained martial artist. Is it some kind of skill?"

He murmured to himself, then tried to glean some clues from Ye Luoyanyu.

In fact, if Ye Luo had simply run away in that situation, Gu Hong might not have been able to deal with him so easily.

There are many [sound interference traps] set up in this area, enough to disrupt Gu Hong's judgment.

After all, the only drawback of [Strong Enemy Sensing] is that it cannot recognize people weaker than itself.

After searching around, they found no valuable clues.

This was to be expected; he never had that expectation in the first place.

Just as he was thinking, Gu Hong suddenly felt a tightness in his heart.

This feeling of palpitation was completely indescribable, something I had never experienced before, and it was certainly not the effect of sensing a powerful enemy.

He felt as if some mysterious force was drawing him in, anticipating him, and yearning for him.

Gu Hong frowned and followed the inexplicable guidance, completely disregarding whether it would lead him to the abyss.

more than three hours later.

He walked through the dense forest and crossed a ditch.

The feeling in my heart grew stronger and stronger. After searching carefully, I finally found the source of the feeling in an extremely inconspicuous place that was easy for others to overlook.

He reached out and parted the grass, digging out the soil until he finally revealed a sword hilt.

It's it!

Gu Hong gripped the sword hilt with both hands and pulled it out with all his might.

【Name: Immortal-Slaying Sword - Replica (Item for Protection)】

[Type: Weapon]

[Quality: Myth]

【attack.】

After reviewing the item information, Gu Hong frowned thoughtfully, connecting the clues in his mind.

"Is this the correct way to pass the level?"

Ironically, if it weren't for the swordplay he displayed when he killed Ye Luoyanyu, which triggered a resonance with the sword, Gu Hong would never have predicted that the true way to clear the game would be like this.

We must inform everyone that we need to find other swords.

He glanced at the sky; it was already afternoon. He dared not be careless; the most important thing now was to get back immediately.

I do not know how long it has been.

it's getting dark.

When Zuiwan Guhong opened the door of the house.

"Four pairs with two kings!"

Ji Yi kept a 3 in his hand, and then angrily played a four-of-a-kind with two extra cards.

At this moment, Ji Yi, Xiao Yi Chang Kong, and Schrödinger's Cat were playing cards around a square table.

Each of them had a finely crafted sword that looked to be of exceptional quality placed beside their table.

In the corner of the room, a beautiful stranger stood there, quietly watching the three play cards, her eyes thoughtful, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

"I'll blow you up! I won! I won! Take it off! Take it off!"

Chang Kong played four 4s from his hand, clearly enjoying the game, and shouted with a raised arm.

"Hehe, I just can't do anything with you."

Ji Yi was shirtless and made a gesture as if she was about to take off her trousers, but she quickly stopped.

He feigned surprise and said, "Oh, Gu Hong just arrived? Come, come, have a seat."

Ji Yi politely pulled out a chair.

Then, Zui Wan Gu Hong, with a somber face, silently walked to an empty seat and placed the sword in his hand on the table:
"How did you all find the sword?"

Ji Yi chuckled and decided to tease him:

"That thing is just sitting there; I figured nobody wanted it."

Gu Hong's face was visibly complex.

It turns out that his supposedly amazing discovery was nothing to brag about. Ji Yi was one thing, but what about Chang Kong?

Miss Cat then spoke up: "It was Wang Xiaoqing who helped us find the location. All we did was find the place and pick it up."

As she spoke, she glanced at the woman in the corner.

"So, how did Mr. Giba persuade her, and you gave it to her?"

Seeing the cat's cold gaze, Ji Yi raised her hands:

"Hey, Miss Cat, do I look like that kind of person to you?"

"Hmm, doesn't seem like it."

That settles it.

"You are."

"."

Ji Yi naturally did not accept this unfounded accusation. As a virtuous and upright man, he had to prove himself.
"Mist Woman, what did I do to you? Tell me yourself."

The woman in the corner glanced at Ji Yi, then at Miss Cat:

"Yes, I am already Mr. Ji Yi's person."

Ji Yi: "?"

Miss Cat: "."

Chang Kong: "Wow~"

This farce didn't last long.

With everyone present, the Mist Woman quickly began recounting her past experiences, as well as information about the ancient gods.

As for Ji Yi's ability to see through the mist maiden's past at a glance, she followed Ji Yi's instructions and did not reveal it, simplifying the entire process of her transformation.

She glanced at Miss Cat, and the coldness in her eyes gradually softened as the Mist Woman narrated her story, even showing a hint of sympathy.

I have no idea what she was angry about.

You're not angry when I'm all lovey-dovey with Miss Xie, but you get angry when I'm socializing with some monster?
Is Miss Cat the legendary pure love warrior who loves shipping couples?
Now I understand.

While she was pondering, the Mist Woman began to recount the method for implementing the true seal, and how the will of the ancient gods would awaken.

Upon hearing this, Chang Kong asked curiously, "Ji Yi, what method do you plan to use to resolve the awakening of the ancient god? Are you confident in your ability to do so?"

Before Ji Yi could speak, Zui Wan Gu Hong glared at Chang Kong:
"Just hand it over to Ji Yi. Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask."

"Oh." Chang Kong lowered his head slightly and said no more.

The man who drunkenly tethers a lone wild goose is quite good; he has a strong sense of boundaries.

Ji Yi secretly praised him, but in fact, the method he was going to use was not convenient to reveal to anyone other than Miss Cat.

It was already late, and after everyone had finished planning for tomorrow, they went back to their rooms to rest. Ten minutes later, inside the room...

"Ye Luo is already dead, why are you sleeping in my room instead of his empty one?"

Hearing Miss Cat's distant words, Ji Yi felt a chill run down her spine.

"But wasn't that room reserved for the Mist Maiden? Since you put it that way, it seems I'll have to follow Tang Hulu's example today."

After that, he turned around and left.

"return."

A cold voice came from behind me.

Ji Yi turned her head: "What?"

Miss Cat: "Sleep here, on the floor."

Ji Yi shook her head: "Too hard, I'll go to the Mist Maiden's room instead."

Miss Cat frowned: "Then I'll sleep on the floor, and Mr. Giba will sleep on the bed."

Ji Yi shook her head again: "How can I let a girl like you suffer such an injustice? I'd better go to the Mist Maiden instead."

Miss Cat snorted, "If Mr. Giba sleeps in the bed, I'll sleep in the bed too."

As she spoke, she voluntarily made way for herself.

Having run out of excuses, Ji Yi obediently went to bed.

Why didn't you do this sooner?
Miss Cat, the pure-love warrior, cannot bear to see Mr. Giba be a heartless man. Miss Cat is truly a loyal and righteous person.

It seems that Miss Cat's resistance to him is getting less and less.

It seems that her avoidant personality disorder has also improved.

Good.

So what if I'm ugly? There's no need to feel inferior about being ugly. Miss Cat is a very smart and capable woman.

Besides herself, she will eventually have many other friends, and she will definitely find a boyfriend someday.

After all, there aren't many people like Ji Yi who are so particular about looks. Some people aren't that picky about appearance and can accept someone who isn't so good-looking, not to mention that Miss Cat has a great figure.

So, once Miss Cat gets married, will I be able to attend her wedding and meet her in person?
Let's get together sometime when we have free time; life would be pretty good.

Lost in thought, Ji Yi fell asleep.

A soft snore began to sound beside me.

Xie Jiayi glanced at Ji Yi, who was sleeping soundly, and showed a hint of confusion.

He stayed, shamelessly, not to take advantage of anyone, but to stay.
Xie Jiayi hadn't figured it out before, but now she realized something: the Mist Woman didn't need a room at all, not even sleep.
However, she was really worried about letting Ji Yi stay in the room alone. Who knew if he would call Wu Nu over and cause trouble?

If that's the case, leaving him here doesn't seem wrong.

Why should I care about this?
The two of them have no relationship now, so could it be that I like him?

impossible.

"Hmm," Xie Jiayi pondered for a moment.

Boom!
He kicked the sleeping Ji Yi off the bed:

"Mr. Giba's snoring is too loud, you should go sleep in the Mist Woman's room."

Ji Yi got up, looking completely bewildered: "Huh?"

The next morning.

Ji Yi walked out of Ye Luo's room with a somewhat resentful expression.

Miss Cat really is a cat.

I thought her avoidant personality disorder had improved, but it seems it's not so easy to cure.

As soon as I stepped out of the room, I saw Miss Cat standing in the hallway:

"I didn't hear any movement from Kiba's room last night, is he impotent?"

Ji Yi: "."

He certainly didn't actually summon the Mist Maiden to his bedchamber. He swam in the lake for two hours during the day and was so tired that he collapsed and fell asleep immediately.

But then again, even if they had the energy, they certainly wouldn't do such a thing.

Ignoring Miss Cat's teasing, Ji Yi said calmly, "I'll leave the sealing to you today. I owe you one, and I'll find a chance to repay you."

Miss Cat said calmly, "No need. Does Mr. Giba really like to find excuses to owe something and then give back? I think I know that mentality. You're an ATM slave, aren't you?"

Ji Yi: "."

What does Miss Cat usually watch?

Half an hour later.

In an even denser fog than yesterday, a group of four carried the immortal corpse, with the Mist Maiden following beside them, and together they headed north.

"Didn't they say before that the immortal's remains would be placed in the temple in the south?"

Chang Kong asked, somewhat puzzled.

The mist maiden, who was not far away, explained, "The real seal is not like that. That was just a step I designed arbitrarily, and it won't work. What we are doing is not really a sealing ritual."

"Because the true seal doesn't lie in the Immortal Shedding and the Four Swords of Zhuxian; they only play a supporting role. The power that seals the ancient god is far greater than you think. Otherwise, if the Immortal Shedding were dug out and the Four Swords of Zhuxian were corrupted and carelessly discarded, why wouldn't the ancient god escape? Why could he only reveal less than one millionth of his power, and even his consciousness had to remain dormant?"

Indeed, when the Mist Maiden opened the Immortal's Shell and discarded the Four Swords of Zhuxian, she performed a true sacrificial ritual, which allowed the Ancient God to awaken only a tiny fraction of his power.

The ancient god intended for her to unleash an even greater carnage, sacrificing the lives of the entire planet to revive the ancient god and break the seal.

But the Mist Woman did not do that.

She chose to stay at the sealed site, constantly testing the tourists who were drawn there, which was a small consolation in her miserable remaining years.

If she leaves this place, there will inevitably be others who are lured here just like her, and perhaps the unexpected resurgence of the ancient gods will truly occur.

The group soon arrived at what is known as the Northern Abyss.

This place truly resembles an abyss, with long, deep fissures in the ground that seem bottomless.

[The ancient god's sealed location; the mist emanates from here.]

[By the way, this sealing was no small feat; it came at the cost of an entire planet, and the ancient god it sealed was incredibly powerful.]

Ji Yi was now curious:

'Didn't you say you couldn't access information about gods? How come you can access information about the ancient gods?'

[Ancient gods? Heh, I'm not afraid just because it has the word "god" in it. Your understanding of deities is far too shallow. The Earth God is a deity, the Primordial Celestial Lord is a deity, and the cat lady's spirit possession is also a deity—are they the same thing?]

Ji Yi seemed to have figured it out.

In the game, the so-called evil gods, false gods, and so on that he encounters are probably completely different in nature from the ancient gods.

In the end, the ancient gods only have the power to destroy a star.

But evil gods might be on a higher level or in a higher dimension, even transcending this universe and existing in the fourth dimension or even higher.

It's quite normal for the data eye to be afraid of them; it's crushing several dimensions.

Ji Yi stared into the abyss.

The abyss did not hang him.

"Is the sealed location down here? Do we have to climb down?"

Xiao Yilongkong said with some disbelief.

"No need, it's not that complicated. Just stand where I tell you to, then drop the swords in with the tips pointing downwards."

Chang Kong blinked: "It's that simple?"

Miss Cat also showed a hint of suspicion.

Ji Yi was also stunned. If the data eye hadn't concluded that "she was telling the truth," he would have doubted the veracity of her words.

All I can say is that the seal is of excellent quality; it only needs a little reinforcement.

So everyone dispersed and lined up in a row according to the positions instructed by the Mist Woman.

And just then.

It was unexpected, but it happened exactly as expected.

From Ji Yi's perspective, he could clearly see a black mist rapidly rising from the abyss and entering the mist woman's body!
