Online Game: Me, with Unparalleled Comprehension

It's not easy to become a disciple of Lingjiu Palace. That place doesn't accept disciples from outside, and the disciples inside are all used as maids by Tianshan Tonglao.

In addition, Tianshan Tonglao has an eccentric personality and is very suspicious, so even if she went, people probably wouldn't accept her.

After all, having experienced the rebellion of the Free and Unfettered Sect, it's understandable that Tianshan Tonglao lacks trust in those around her.

Moreover, Lingjiu Palace is not a place you can just sneak into; the iron chains on the cliff alone are enough to filter out most people.

Moreover, the monsters in this area are of very high level, making it a place that low-level players should not go.

Therefore, there are probably zero players who can join Lingjiu Palace right now. Let the sects under Lingjiu Palace go and explore first.

They outnumber us and their attack on the mountain tomorrow will draw the attention of Lingjiu Palace and create chaos.

He could take advantage of the chaos to sneak in and find an opportunity to study the murals or do something else.

However, before the Zhenlong Chess Game storyline was triggered, the storyline of Tianshan Tonglao began in Lingjiu Palace.

It seems this game has made many changes to the timeline of the storyline.

Many events that might have occurred at different times in the original work have been compressed or rearranged, and now occur simultaneously or consecutively.

That makes sense, given the huge number of players. If the storyline follows a set pattern, many people might never encounter a significant event in their entire lives.

Wu Feng squinted as he pondered, then came to a more secluded and safe location, a naturally formed cave with its entrance half-hidden by vines, and a dry and spacious interior.

He checked around and, after confirming that there were no wild animals, went inside.

On a whim, I chose to exit the game.

The game characters disappeared, and people walked out of the game pod.

Wu Feng stretched and loosened his stiff neck and shoulders.

Maintaining one posture for a long time, even in a game, can cause physical discomfort in real life.

The feeling of emptiness in my stomach is very real.

He changed his clothes, grabbed his phone and keys, and headed outside; it was time to have dinner.

I can go to Lingjiu Palace to watch a play tomorrow morning.

In the real world, the city remains bustling even at night.

Wu Feng walked into his usual home-style restaurant and lifted the plastic curtain.

The shop was quite crowded and filled with smoke. He found an empty seat in a corner and sat down.

"Twice-cooked pork, Mapo tofu, stir-fried bok choy, and a pickled mustard green and shredded pork soup," he told the waiter. "And a large bowl of rice."

"Okay, just a moment."

While waiting for his food, he leaned back in his chair, took out his phone, and casually browsed the news and forums, but nothing particularly noteworthy happened.

There is very little discussion about "Lingjiu Palace" and "Thirty-Six Caves" on game forums, which means that not many people know about this storyline, or those involved are still keeping it a secret.

He turned off his phone and focused on eating.

The food was served quickly, steaming hot.

He swept everything clean like a whirlwind.

I checked out, got up, and walked back to my accommodation.

After taking a hot shower and changing into clean pajamas, I felt much refreshed.

Without delay, I lay back down in the gaming pod.

The hatch closed, and consciousness sank.

In the game world, at the foot of Misty Peak, in a cave.

The scene before my eyes changed from blurry to clear.

The cave was pitch black, with only a few faint moonlight filtering through the gaps in the vines at the entrance.

Wu Feng checked the time on the game interface; it was already past 8 PM.

He shook his head, found a flat rock inside the cave, sat down cross-legged, and closed his eyes.

The mental cultivation method of "Pure Yang Limitless Skill" began to circulate within his body.

The pure Yang energy at the Lesser Completion stage surged and circulated throughout the meridians.

[Pure Yang Limitless Skill Proficiency +276]

[Pure Yang Limitless Skill Proficiency +276]

The pale gold notification pulsed rhythmically in the darkness.

He calmed his mind and completely immersed himself in cultivation.

The internal energy flows like a river, repeatedly washing over and widening the meridians, nourishing the flesh, bones, and muscles.

The golden-red pure yang energy vortex slowly rotated in the dantian, its color becoming increasingly pure, transforming into a deeper golden-red.

Time slipped away quietly in this state of complete absorption.

As the sky outside the window changed from deep black to dark blue, and then gradually turned grayish-white, Wu Feng slowly finished his practice and opened his eyes.

A flash of golden-red light appeared in his eyes.

I glanced at the skill bar:

【Pure Yang Limitless Skill (Minor Success 345552/500000)】

After a night of intensive training, I gained over 69,000 proficiency points. I still have 154,000 points to go before I reach mastery.

He got up and stretched, feeling his internal energy surge and his spirits high.

Just as he was about to take a moment to recover, he suddenly heard a commotion of voices in the distance, along with shouts and the soft sounds of weapons clashing.

The sound came from the direction where the people from the thirty-six caves and seventy-two islands had gathered last night.

Wu Feng listened intently.

"...Gentlemen! Today is the day we break free of our shackles and regain our freedom!"

"Attack Lingjiu Palace and force that old hag to break the Life-and-Death Talisman!"

"Life or death, success or failure, hinges on this! Let's go!"

The voice was loud and clear, filled with determination and fervor, and carried far through the quiet mountain forest in the early morning.

It seems to be a pre-battle rallying cry. They're shouting so loudly, aren't they afraid of disturbing the Lingjiu Palace on the mountain?

Wu Feng shook his head. He wasn't in a hurry anyway, so he decided to log off and have breakfast first.

They'll probably be on their way when they go online soon, I'll go check it out then.

However, bringing a group of disciples along would slow down the team's progress, as they wouldn't be able to move too quickly.

With his light-footed skills, he could catch up in no time, so he let them go first and he could go to Lingjiu Palace later.

Having made up his mind, Wu Feng chose to quit the game.

---

In the real world, it's early morning.

Wu Feng got up, washed up, changed his clothes, and went out.

I ate a bowl of wontons and two fried dough sticks at the breakfast stall downstairs.

After a simple breakfast, I felt much more energetic.

Back at my lodgings, I logged back into the game.

Inside the cave, Wu Feng opened his eyes.

The distant sounds of people had disappeared; it seemed that the people from the Thirty-Six Caves and Seventy-Two Islands had already set off for the mountain.

He wasn't in a hurry to chase after them. He first ate the dry rations he had taken out, then drank some water to replenish his hunger level.

Then he got up and walked out of the cave.

The air in the mountain forest is crisp and clear in the early morning, carrying the scent of dew and vegetation.

He discerned the direction, then used the "Lingbo Weibu" technique, his figure like a wisp of light blue smoke, heading towards the peak of Misty Peak and the direction where Lingjiu Palace was located.

The mountain path of Piaomiao Peak is rugged and winding, hidden among the morning mist and lush greenery.

When Wu Feng arrived near the mountainside, he could see from afar that the slowly moving group below was the group from the Thirty-Six Caves and Seventy-Two Islands.

There seemed to be more people than I had seen by the campfire last night; I'd estimate there were close to a hundred.

Leading the way were several NPCs with slightly stronger auras, dressed as leaders, such as Boss Wu, Cave Master An, and Sang Tu Gong. Behind them were elite disciples from various caves and islands, along with some players.

The line stretched out so long it resembled a tangled mess on the mountain path, moving at an appallingly slow pace.

Wu Feng hid behind a gnarled ancient pine tree, and after just one glance, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

"Walking so slowly..." he muttered to himself, his tone full of exasperation.

In his eyes, this group's strength was simply not enough.

The leading cave lords and island lords were at best second-rate to lower-middle level, with mixed auras, unsteady steps, and questionable cultivation.

The disciples who came after them were even worse; they were barely third-rate, and in the Central Plains, they would only be considered ordinary bodyguards.

As for the players mixed in, their levels varied, but were generally low, and their equipment was a mixed bag. At a glance, it was clear that they were just lone wolves who came to join the fun and wanted to pick up bargains.

With this kind of lineup, they dare to plot a rebellion against Lingjiu Palace? Do they really think that just because the Child Granny has regained her youth, she's an easy target?

Wu Feng shook his head, losing even the interest in giving a comment.

He originally planned to secretly follow them and wait for them to engage in battle with Lingjiu Palace and create enough chaos before sneaking in.

At this snail's pace, by the time they finally reach the entrance of Lingjiu Palace, it will probably be almost noon.

"Forget it, what's the rush?" Wu Feng thought to himself and stopped being in a hurry.

His gaze swept around and he quickly spotted a flat bluestone not far away, backed by a mountain wall and with bushes covering the front.

With a swift movement, he silently swept over, brushed away the fallen leaves from the stone, and sat down cross-legged.
