My Text-Based Cultivation Game

Yunyang is acting strange again.

Yes, he's finally back to normal.

Hmm? Why is it that he's acting strangely, yet I think he's perfectly normal?

Damn it! That damned inner demon.

Su Muxue didn't know what had suddenly gotten into Yunyang. He prepared a large bag of food, saying he was going to go into seclusion in the back mountain for thirty days.

No, you're a Qi Refining stage cultivator, and you're in seclusion?

Are you overthinking it?

I've never heard of needing to go into seclusion during the Qi Refining stage.

Besides, wouldn't it be better to just stay home in seclusion? There's a small spirit-gathering array set up by the Xuantian Sect at home, with a spiritual energy concentration far exceeding that godforsaken place on the back mountain.

Which cultivator would go into seclusion in a place with sparse spiritual energy?

Could it be that he's been influenced by those fantasy novels about cultivating immortality? Does he think that cultivating in the deep mountains and forests is faster?

But when Su Muxue spoke to him, Yunyang replied, "You don't understand. I'm going to seek an opportunity."

Well, this kid's probably out of his mind.

There's a sect that's been rooted here for who knows how long. What kind of extraordinary adventure do you expect to find here?

That's a bit too far-fetched.

Su Muxue didn't bother with him. For a Qi Refining stage cultivator, living a life of hardship and sleeping in the open was not easy. She guessed that Yunyang would come back dejectedly in a couple of days.

But she didn't expect that when Yunyang actually entered the back mountain of the outer peak, he would actually go into seclusion in the cave and never come out.

For almost a month, he never stepped out of the back mountain.

This, however, made Su Muxue feel uneasy.

Could something really have happened to this guy?

This thought grew stronger and stronger under the influence of Su Muxue's inner demons.

It was so intense that she even found it difficult to enter a meditative state.

"..."

"grass!"

On the twenty-ninth night of her seclusion in the back mountain of Yunyang, Su Muxue sat cross-legged on a futon, her brows furrowed, and finally couldn't hold back her curses.

The only female Immortal Emperor, who once reigned supreme in the Immortal Realm and stood at the pinnacle of all immortals, broke down in her guard and uttered vulgar words. If the immortals under Su Muxue's command in her previous life knew this, they would probably be shocked.

Ah ah ah ah ah! ! !

Damn it, my inner demons! Why can't I let go of Yunyang?!

Su Muxue cursed inwardly.

Okay, okay! I'll go to the back mountain, alright?

Hmph! That guy better die in the back mountain, then this damned inner demon of mine can dissipate on its own!

Although she was cursing in her heart, Su Muxue still obediently went to the back mountain early on the morning of the thirtieth day.

Damn Yunyang, you better not... no! You better be in trouble!

Filled with anger, Su Muxue went straight to where Yunyang was in seclusion on the back mountain.

Well, although Su Muxue didn't want to pay attention to Yunyang's crazy idea at first, she actually memorized the location of Yunyang's seclusion the moment he went into seclusion.

It can be said that he said one thing but did another.

Looking at the huge rock blocking the entrance to the cave, Su Muxue couldn't help but wonder if Yunyang was trapped by this rock and couldn't get out.

Probably not. After all, he is a cultivator at the fourth level of the Qi Refining stage. Although he can only be said to have just entered the world of cultivation, he is no longer a mortal. This mere stone cannot trap him.

"Hey! Yunyang! Are you there?!"

Before reaching the Foundation Establishment stage and lacking divine sense, it was difficult to explore the situation inside the cave. In her previous life, Su Muxue, who was the "Female Immortal Emperor," could only shout into the cave without any regard for her image.

"..."

However, there was no response.

Was it the stone blocking out his voice, or had something really happened to Yunyang inside?

Su Muxue couldn't help but feel a little worried.

No way! What's there to worry about! It would be best if Yunyang died!

"Fine, I need to see them alive or dead," Su Muxue shouted again, "Hey! I'm going to blow up the rocks at the cave entrance! If you don't say anything, I'll blow them up!"

"..."

Sure, let's blast!

She took out several talismans from the inside pocket of her clothes and stuck them on the boulder at the entrance of the cave. These explosive talismans were all made by Su Muxue herself. In her previous life, as an Immortal Emperor, she could easily make these Qi Refining stage talismans.

Controlling her spiritual energy output, Su Muxue formed hand seals and mentally shouted, "Explode!"

"Thump!"

The explosion was not large; it merely blasted several large cracks into the boulder. These cracks spread and intersected, and the boulder then shattered into several large fragments.

Based on this skill alone, if Su Muxue were in the real world, she would definitely be a highly sought-after talent by major mines and demolition and blasting teams.

Peeling aside the broken pieces of the boulder, Su Muxue peered into the cave.

But inside the cave, the spiritual energy was so dense it was almost dripping with water. Yet, this dense spiritual energy did not leak out at all; it all swirled and converged in one place like a whirlwind, where a person sat cross-legged.

That person was none other than Yunyang!

Upon seeing this, Su Muxue was stunned. No, there really is an opportunity here?

……

Lying in his hospital bed, Yunyang had just adjusted the time in the "text-based cultivation game" past thirty days, preparing to receive a red-grade opportunity, completely unaware of Su Muxue's arrival.

You have entered a special secret realm.

After a text prompt popped up on the phone screen, the scene on the screen instantly changed, with clouds and mist swirling around, as if one were in the heavens.

Within this cloud and mist, the spiritual energy from all directions, mixed with the smoke, slowly condensed into a tall figure stroking a long beard, holding a whisk, with the standard air of an immortal.

"Young man, I am Guiyuan Daoist, the founder of the Xuantian Sect. I see that you have extraordinary talent and are a rare genius in cultivation. The peace of the cultivation world depends on you! I have a legendary immortal cultivation technique here called 'Guiyuan Heyi Jue'. I see you are destined for it, how about I sell it to you for ten low-grade spirit stones?"

"..."

Seeing the old man on the screen, whose appearance was that of a Taoist immortal composed of smoke and spiritual energy, suddenly utter such lines, Yunyang suddenly fell silent.

Where did this trashy virus mobile game learn its lines from?!

He even asked me for ten low-grade spirit stones!

Where am I supposed to get you ten low-grade spirit stones?

Damn! Yunyang suddenly regretted it. Could he get his 500,000 RMB back? He suddenly didn't want this red opportunity anymore!

"Does the young man feel that the Unity of Origin Technique is not powerful enough?"

Seemingly seeing that Yunyang remained silent for a long time, the figure threw away the whisk, clenched his fists, and with a "bang!", the figure's clothes exploded, revealing the strong muscles hidden under the wide robe.

Although these muscles are also composed of spiritual energy and mist.

"Young man, look! I only grasped the basics of the 'Return to Oneness Technique' back then, and I already reached the Integration Stage. If you learn this technique, you will surely become a legend in the cultivation world!"

"..."

Is Xuantianmen some kind of pyramid scheme?

"goodbye."

Yunyang immediately chose to leave this so-called special secret realm.

I'll just consider those 500,000 dollars as dog food, okay?

"No! You're wrong, you're wrong!"

Seeing that Yunyang was about to leave, the muscular old man suddenly slid down to his knees and hugged Yunyang's leg.

"Let go! Let go!"

"No! Don't go!"

Despite being the founder of the Xuantian Sect and the most senior of all the sect's ancestors, he was now clinging desperately to the leg of a newly initiated outer disciple.

Is this person crazy? Why can't we leave?

"My remnant soul has been trapped in this shitty secret realm for who knows how many years! I want to leave! I want to get out of this wretched place!"

The founder of Xuantianmen, Daoist Guiyuan, had unspoken grievances he wished to express.

"..."

What the hell?

Yunyang remained silent.

If you have something to say but don't, you don't have to say it.

Who asked you?

However, there are no options below, and it seems that you can only tap the screen to start the next dialogue.

I forced myself to listen to this muscular old man's "complaints".

"Looking back, when I was young, I was just an ordinary farmer's child. I accidentally stumbled into a secret realm, which turned out to be a fairy's cave. I was touched on the head by a fairy, received his teachings, obtained the fairy's magic, and saw the path to immortality. However, I was dull-witted and could only grasp the basics. But even so, it allowed me to have a smooth journey on the path to immortality."

But back then, I didn't expect that this would be both an opportunity and a constraint.

Guiyuan Daoist looked up at a 45-degree angle, his slightly weathered eyes perfectly illustrating what it means to "remember the glorious past".

"That immortal inheritance has become attached to me. Until I find someone who can fully accept the immortal inheritance, it will be a burden on me, constantly draining my spiritual power."

Therefore, I had to take on many disciples and establish the Xuantian Sect. However, even after my death, I was unable to find anyone who could inherit this immortal legacy.

But who knew that even after I died, my soul was bound and prevented from entering the cycle of reincarnation!

So young man, you must help me find peace!

Guiyuan Daoist spoke sincerely, and his expression was pitiful, but these...

Yunyang didn't see any of it.

Who doesn't skip dialogue when the main storyline is progressing smoothly?

Please let me have this opportunity soon.
