What do you mean the game swordsman I controlled has come back to life?

Inside the Elders' Hall, everyone watched the two sides clashing intently.

Everyone could see that Su Qinghan hadn't held back much.

But it was an attack from a cultivator who was actually in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

"That's truly terrifying insight; he actually predicted Su Qinghan's attacks in advance with every single move."

I now believe Li Feng died at her hands.

The peak masters watching the battle were filled with amazement, and the other peak masters nodded in agreement.

Yue Qingwu has already proven her strength to them.

"My disciple, your strength has exceeded my expectations."

Su Qinghan stopped, for Yue Qingwu was now much stronger than when she was at the 8th level of Qi Refining.

Fighting for hundreds of rounds without being at a disadvantage is enough to prove one's strength.

"Thank you for your guidance, Master." Yue Qingwu was slightly out of breath and her face was flushed. She had actually done it.

Even she herself was shocked by the improvement in her strength during this period.

"I think you all have seen it, so there's no need to say anything more," Su Qinghan said to the peak masters.

"To our surprise, our Shangqing Sword Sect has produced such a brilliant and talented individual. This is truly a blessing for our sect."

The inner disciples around him also showed Yue Qingwu a deep respect, which was a mixture of reverence and fear.

This is a ruthless person who turned his fellow disciples into puppets.

"This time, the outer sect has produced such a monstrous talent."

"Fellow Daoist Yue Qingwu, you are very strong. I am ashamed to admit my inferiority." Zhuang Yi bowed and apologized to Yue Qingwu.

He recognized Yue Qingwu's strength. In Zhuang Yi's eyes, Yue Qingwu was not a junior, but someone of the same generation as him, who had just reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

They all changed their address to "fellow Daoist".

"Senior brother, you flatter me," Yue Qingwu replied modestly.

"Getting back to the main point, the reason I've summoned you all here is to introduce you to the newly promoted inner disciples."

In the future, you will have to face the war against the Demonic Sect together, and you must work together with one heart and one mind.

The war to wipe out the Blood Fiend Sect will begin soon; everyone must be prepared.

One of the peak masters spoke up.

"Is another war about to begin? This time it's the Blood Fiend Sect."

"It should have been done long ago, these beasts who cultivate by taking human flesh and soul."

The disciples' expressions turned solemn upon hearing this.

The war against the Demonic Sect will result in the deaths of many people, including Foundation Establishment cultivators, not to mention others.

If that devil heard this news, he would be very happy.

Yue Qingwu, sitting in the audience, thought of that devil Li.

He loves fighting the most.

"Newly recruited inner disciples, this is your jade token for entering the Spirit Gathering Array cave."

With a wave of his hand, a peak master sent ten jade tablets falling toward the newly promoted inner disciples.

"Yue Qingwu, your talent is highly valued by the sect. We will apply to the elders for cultivation supplies for you."

"Thank you, Senior Uncle." Yue Qingwu bowed.

Afterwards, all the peak masters left, leaving only the inner disciples to talk among themselves.

Since Yue Qingwu didn't know anyone here, she decided to go to her new cave dwelling first.

"Senior Sister Qingwu."

"Hello, senior sister."

Many inner disciples passed by and bowed to her.

His eyes were full of respect.

Yue Qingwu nodded slightly to them and left the Elders' Hall.

Arriving at the spirit-gathering array cave prepared for him by the sect on the main peak, Yue Qingwu felt completely lost amidst the intense spiritual energy.

Having been forced to cultivate by the demon for so long, she was finding it hard to adjust to suddenly having free time.

"Forget it, I'll just meditate instead."

Yue Qingwu thought for a moment, "We can't just leave such a good spirit-gathering array unused."

Recalling how all the inner and outer disciples had respectfully greeted her as Senior Sister Qingwu along the way, a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips.

The master's approval and the fellow disciples' respect.

This feeling is really nice.

Wait a minute, is my fellow disciple's admiration for me really just pure respect?

When Yue Qingwu thought of Li Feng, whom she had turned into a puppet, she suddenly became uncertain.

He feared that his fellow disciples might see him as a ruthless villain who lured and killed them.

"Sigh, I'm really not that kind of person."

On this very day, legends about Yue Qingwu began to circulate within the Shangqing Sword Sect.

Using his own Foundation Establishment Pill as bait, he reversed the Foundation Establishment stage of his fellow disciples and refined them into puppets.

He held his own against the sect's peak master; a ruthless Qi Refining stage expert.

Everyone knew that the other party possessed a Foundation Establishment Pill, yet no one dared to even entertain the thought of stealing it.

"Senior, are you there?"

Yue Qingwu tried to communicate with the demon sleeping inside her.

Although naive, Yue Qingwu still hoped that the other party would not do bad things and would not possess her body.

But the senior or demon inside her completely ignored her.

Yue Qingwu didn't know whether the other person could hear her or simply didn't bother to reply.

She wrote a greeting on her arm with a pen.

Then Yue Qingwu sat cross-legged in meditation.

After an unknown amount of time, Yue Qingwu felt herself losing control of her body once again.

She knew the other person had returned.

"Hmm, is there a hint?"

Lu Li saw [Yue Qingwu's Information] displayed on the game interface.

Why is my own game character writing messages for me?

Does this game also have a feature to interact with NPCs, build up goodwill, and get married?

Lu Li then opened the message.

"Senior Li, hello. My name is Yue Qingwu. Could you please not possess my body and be a good person?"

Does this game even have a feature that breaks down the dimensional barrier?

Lu Li had seen this kind of gameplay where characters interact with players before, and had even played a few games with it, all of which left a deep impression on him.

In particular, the sense of immersion makes players feel that the game character on their computer is a living, breathing person.

Lu Li rationally knew that it was just a string of code.

However, he doesn't dislike gameplay where characters break down the fourth wall and interact with players.

No wonder this game doesn't limit players' morality; it turns out they're trying to break down the dimensional barrier to prevent players from doing so.

Lu Li thought about how this game had an open gameplay style, allowing him to kill NPCs and do whatever he wanted.

For example, although the NPC Su Qinghan was killed by the plot, if he were really strong enough, he could still kill him.

Su Qinghan is clearly an important NPC in the game. Killing her would cause a huge difference in the main storyline, or even eliminate her altogether.

The game is currently stuck.

This is, after all, a game with limited content. If players actually kill all the important NPCs...

Are you suggesting that the game company will create different main quests, side quests, and endings for each NPC? No amount of memory would be enough for that.

Most games directly prohibit attacking main NPCs, and use methods such as story-driven death levels to forcibly prevent players from playing the game, thus keeping them within a certain controllable range.

This Sword Immortal beta game takes an unconventional approach, using a method that breaks down the dimensional barrier to guide players to be good people and not to kill NPCs indiscriminately.

The gameplay is quite novel.

Please select your reply.

[Option 1: Hehehe, I haven't let go of any body I've set my sights on.]

[Option Two: I, an old man, have no intention of taking your body while traveling the mortal world; I will borrow it for now.]

Option Three: Your request is naive, yet amusing. Whether you're a "good person" or not is irrelevant, but "possession"... is certainly a high-risk investment.

[Note: This option will determine the direction of the game's storyline, so please choose carefully.]

This game surprisingly doesn't allow players to make their own choices, as is the case with other games.

This was something Lu Li hadn't expected.

That makes sense. Letting players respond to dialogues that affect the game's ending is a good way to see what the game can do if they want to test its limits. You'll get all sorts of bizarre and wonderful responses.

That way, the game wouldn't be able to determine which ending the player chose.

Good guy, bad guy, and fun guy – these three answer options represent the personality the player will play, and there are three paths that determine the ending.

Lu Li was deep in thought.

Since things have come to this, let's save this for later.
