Sequence Wars: The Mythical Age is Created by Me

Chapter 106 The Mountain Answers the Heavenly Question, The Sword Can Slay the White Serpent

Compared to the tense and oppressive atmosphere at the Wushan camp, Jiang Fan was now extremely comfortable.

Not only did they acquire a Mythic Sequence member, but they also completed the interlude of the first act of the second chapter, significantly increasing the power of the Divine Tower.

[The second act will begin in two days. The production rate of Wushan's natural spiritual energy will gradually be reduced to half of its current rate (0.99). Incense offerings and religious practices will remain unaffected.]

[In the first act, a total of twenty-seven resource cards were placed in Wushan. The locations where these resource cards were placed will evolve into blessed lands rich in spiritual energy, allowing sequences containing the "cultivation" element to recuperate and gain advancement points here.]

The BOSS in Yunmengze will appear when the second act begins. Please prepare for the team battle in advance. The extent of the defeat will determine the initial conditions for the revival of Yunmengze.

What does it mean that you have to fight the boss at the start of Act 0?

No wonder the interlude in this chapter was so tiring, it was all about plot and characters. It turns out that the entire first act is the prologue to the second chapter, giving the game characters enough room to grow before they can start fighting the bosses in the subsequent Nine Songs.

Now, with the power of the entire Wushan Mountain supporting the fourth-tier [Mountain Spirit], and the ability to consume the 1.99x multiplier for two days, plus the remaining spiritual essence, Jiang Fan can roughly accumulate around 100,000 natural spiritual essences to reach the "mysterious" concentration.

That's enough to let Ni Yao unleash her ultimate move. It'll be a good opportunity to test the power of the Mythic Sequence's original texts against the second act's boss.

As for the identity of this BOSS... Jiang Fan already had some guesses in his mind. Judging from the nature of game consoles, the scope of this BOSS battle is probably the largest in the current game presentation.

Of the combat power he currently possesses, Rias has the highest training level. With one life and her unique weapon, her stats are purely explosive. The rank increase only makes her stats even higher; there's nothing particularly special about her mechanics.

She can be used as the main force to fight the BOSS, but the real core main DPS should still be given to Ni Yao, after all, she is a fourth-tier mythical sequence, although the power of this god is a bit far off compared to the whole Chinese system.

But since she uses the entire Wushan Mountain as her source of power, if anyone could deliver a fatal blow to the BOSS, it would undoubtedly be the Mountain Spirit.

This is her main storyline.

As for Yin Panqing, Jiang Fan only had one requirement for her: to smoothly obtain [Changxi] in Chapter 2, as this mythological sequence was much higher in status than the Mountain Spirit.

After all, in mythology, she is the Moon Goddess, who is in charge of both the sun and the moon, and the imperial consort who controls the lunar cycle.

The only downside is her relatively low profile. Despite her high status, she was often overtaken by Chang'e and Wangshu in later years. People know about Chang'e flying to the moon and Wangshu riding the moon, but they don't know about this celestial empress.

Its mythical ability manifests in its control over the twelve phases of the moon, therefore its combat power is quite average, and it is most likely a support character.

However, within the overall framework of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, Changxi is still very authoritative and is likely to become a powerful support character in the Huaxia system in the future, providing significant buffs to the main damage dealer.

It would be better if Xu Xiao'er could awaken the mythological sequence corresponding to the [Heavenly Fate Mystic Bird] before the start of the second act; otherwise...

Jiang Fan also drew a purple weapon for her so she could deal damage alongside Rias.

However, she is rather fragile, so she will probably have to do it herself.

Moreover, the eighteen-year-old girl had limited combat experience and was easily manipulated by the enemy. Otherwise, Jiang Fan would not have been able to break through the Xuan Bird Domain and successfully capture her by using the strategy of besieging the point and attacking the reinforcements.

As for Li Xiuyi, Jiang Fan had no idea what the kid was up to. He had already obtained the second-tier [Hero] title for more than half a month, and his advancement value had increased by more than ten points.

I don't have any available characters to pull for him yet. The only character I can definitively identify in the historical gacha is King Arthur, and I don't have any keys in the mythology gacha.

Jiang Fan couldn't possibly abandon his gacha resources and use up all the dozens of gacha pulls he had just to give Li Xiuyi his real name.

Suitable real name sequence for [Xia Ke]...

Jiang Fan is currently experiencing a happy dilemma. In fact, his ideal sequence is [Li Bai], but the connotation of [Li Bai] as the "Poet Immortal" is greater than his sword. The core imagery is poetry, wine, moon, and sword. According to the game's design concept, he is probably a resource-intensive character who can only be effective in the mid-to-late stages of the sequence.

It's not that Jiang Fan looks down on historical sequences; he just has a ton of mythological legends he doesn't cultivate, and he'd waste draw chances on [Li Bai].

Isn't that a bit too much?

Therefore, he still hoped that Li Xiuyi could improve on his own through the sequence. After Jiang Fan had left him to his own devices for a while, he had not only collected a lot of relics for him, but also increased his experience points. All he needed to do was give him a push when he advanced and prevent him from hitting a bottleneck.

enough.

Therefore, this sequence must be obtained to have considerable combat power.

Jiang Fan stroked his chin, deciding to let things take their course.

He should go to work tomorrow too.

But there's one more thing to take care of tonight.

Jiang Fan saw through the sand table that [Tianwen] and [Chixiao] had all entered the outer perimeter of the Wushan Forest.

Even Yin Panqing was summoned, since she was a fourth-tier True Name Sequence, which saved Jiang Fan the trouble of inserting a card to let her sneak in.

It seems they've come looking for Xu Xiao'er, who's currently undergoing reformation.

Given that she is a holder of the Mythical Sequence, the official team has probably already analyzed Xu Xiao'er's importance.

Jiang Fan had been working in the 11th Bureau for some time and was quite familiar with the atmosphere within the system. For such an important role, they would not give up until the very last moment.

Therefore, during the period of Xu Xiao'er's transformation, Jiang Fan still needs to stop these two captains.

Last time, these two didn't even go all out and were instantly defeated by Guiche and [Aberration Yang Jian]. This time, if they are well prepared, it will definitely be extremely difficult.

Just as Jiang Fan was pondering over the sand table, the mountain on the sand table suddenly trembled violently, and then the entire game console began to shake, as if the console was about to explode.

Jiang Fan knew what this situation meant. The last time something like this happened was when the Wushan mountain range appeared out of nowhere in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

Sure enough, a huge, liquid-like mist began to emanate from the simulated mountain in the sand table.

The giant swamp that had been dry for thousands of years returned to this planet through the power of mythology.

During the pre-Qin period of the Chu state, Yunmengze was a vast lake covering an area of ​​nine hundred li, encompassing the entire Jianghan Plain. It eventually dried up during the Tang and Song dynasties.

The Yunmeng Marsh is recovering, and its geographical environment will be greatly altered.

The screen displayed scarlet text shrouded in moisture.

Perfect timing! Taking advantage of Yunmengze's return, we can send four top-tier demonic beasts to force Su Tang and his companion to retreat.

After all, you can't just ignore the people of Jingchu, can you? The restoration of the Yunmengze water system can hardly be called a natural disaster.

Jiang Fan retrieved the Ghost Chariot, which had recovered to half its original size, along with the Black Bee, the Sealed Wolves, and the One-Legged Mountain Demon.

And all the monsters currently in Wushan will be selected and gathered at the mountain stream; this is the final chapter of the Wushan arc.

He can command about a thousand monsters.

The inner perimeter of the Wushan forest.

On the haystack where Ni Yao had turned the mandrill into a small mound, several members of the [Tianwen] team sat.

"Boss, do you think Miss Xu Xiao'er is still alive? I heard that the Xu family of Jinling used her to ask the higher-ups for a thousand relics and commercial contracts worth hundreds of billions. I don't know if it's true or not."

Although the members of [Tianwen] were specifically assigned to Su Jianyuan, the members all come from very good families, and can be considered top-tier families in their respective provinces and cities.

There are quite a few channels for obtaining such rumors.

"I've heard about it, but... what's it to you?"

Su Jianyuan tapped the team member's head speechlessly. With so many resources, the Xu family could train the entire clan to become Sequence Users.

When one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. Xu Xiao'er has such value, and the Hong family is willing to give her away, so there's nothing more to say.

Despite paying such a high price, Xu Xiao'er has disappeared. What will become of the Xu family of Jinling...?

These are things that their special operations team can't easily get involved in.

"Don't do that, boss."

The atmosphere within the team was relatively relaxed. Both [Tianwen] and [Chixiao] were strong teams that had experienced dozens of high-risk revival events. Although they knew there was a possibility of casualties, it did not affect their morale.

"Captain Su, there's someone up ahead."

Yin Panqing turned the compass in her hand and spoke to Su Jianyuan.

Upon hearing this, the latter frowned and said that the fortune teller Yin Panqing in Wushan could naturally see further than them. He then nodded to his team members, whose personal markings gleamed, ready for battle at any moment.

Sure enough, after about a minute of silence, a swaying figure appeared in the shadows of the woods.

He had sores on the back of his head, his face was full of terror, and he was running forward quickly with his mouth wide open.

Upon finally seeing living people, Liu Ye excitedly rushed towards the crowd.

Unexpectedly, the next moment his whole body was wrapped in a strange spider silk, and he fell to the ground like a puppet.

"Captain Su, he's alive."

The purple-haired woman who made the move flicked her hand; she had many belongings on her person, and this was just one of them.

"You are... Liu Ye, the captain of [Yuanhong]?"

Su Jianyuan has a very good memory; although they had only met once, he still recognized the other person.

"It's me, it's me! Quickly go save Xu Xiao'er! She's been chased into a deep pool in the mountain stream by those monsters, and behind her is a black monster that looks like a human, no, like a monkey, no, still like a human."

Liu Ye's speech was becoming somewhat incoherent.

Su Jianyuan frowned slightly, and the mark of Qu Yuan between his brows flashed by, as if he were asking about the mountains and fields here. Then he understood.

"It's alright, it's just a mountain spirit that has come to life from a piece of wood or stone. Its scientific name is a mountain goblin, which can bewitch people's minds. You've just fallen under its spell."

Liu Ye nodded blankly upon hearing this. Then, the purple-haired woman took out a bowl of talisman water and fed it to Liu Ye along with the crumpled talisman. Only then did the latter's complexion improve.

"Your soul is practically leaving your body. This is the first time you've encountered this kind of magic, isn't it?"

The purple-haired woman shook her head helplessly.

Thank you.

Liu Ye relaxed completely and thanked everyone.

"What did you see when you went in? Don't rush, tell us slowly."

Although Su Jianyuan was able to obtain information by asking Wushan through Qu Yuan, it would be better to have a description from the person involved.

Liu Ye took a deep breath to calm himself down before telling Su Tang and Xu Xiao'er about their encounter with more than a dozen low-grade [Calamity] monsters and the latter's apparent loss of control.

"Yuanfang, what do you think?"

Su Jianyuan turned his head and said in a cheeky manner.

"Get lost, and speak properly."

Tang Jingyu stroked his beard, feeling that things weren't as simple as they seemed.

It was like a scheme specifically designed to target Xu Xiao'er. It wasn't particularly elaborate, but someone was definitely involved, otherwise the latter wouldn't have been defeated so easily.

"To protect you, she single-handedly fought against almost all the demonic beasts... That doesn't sound like much, but she's only at the third rank. How could she have such strength?"

Tang Jingyu found it very strange.

After all, when he was at the third rank, he defeated a low-grade [Calamity] monster that had been revived for a long time and was highly praised by the academy instructors. A third-rank true name might be able to suppress a newly revived low-grade [Calamity] monster, but a monster that had been revived for a long time was already evenly matched.

When he later obtained the complete Crimson Sky, he was no longer considered a normal cultivator. However, his best achievement when he ascended to the third rank was only killing four low-grade Calamity monsters.

Xu Xiao'er is currently only a third-tier legendary figure, and has not even reached the next tier yet, but her performance is already so strong.

While the legendary sequence is indeed powerful, it shouldn't be able to overwhelm dozens of [Calamity]-grade monsters.

"I don't know either. I just saw that she could summon a large area of ​​black feathers, and the attack range was quite large. She could cut down almost everything in her field of vision. Moreover, the feathers were very strong. My sword would probably break if it touched them."

Liu Ye said with a mixture of admiration and envy.

"It seems that her sequence strength may also be related to this loss of control. It is said that the Hong Mansion previously unearthed a relic suspected to be a [robbery] item from the Red Well. Perhaps this relic is the key to why she is so powerful."

Su Jianyuan saw the threads connecting their destinies.

"You know that?"

Tang Jingyu asked in surprise.

Without giving a direct response, Su Jianyuan simply turned to look at Tang Jingyu, who then nodded.

"We've all obtained the sealing permits, and it's been a long time since we've been able to fight so freely."

Su Jianyuan nodded. He and Tang Jingyu only met after they started working together, and their personalities didn't get along very well. But this time in Wushan, the two of them had become much more in sync.

"Want to eat zongzi?"

Su Jianyuan looked at Liu Ye.

The latter shook his head blankly.

"It's not Dragon Boat Festival yet..."

"Then you can go back first, or wait for us here."

Su Jianyuan smiled and took out a triangular rice dumpling tightly wrapped in leaves from his pocket.

Liu Ye was momentarily stunned to see that Captain Su actually carried zongzi with him.

"This is a zongzi made from thousand-year-old tree leaves. Over the centuries, countless hands have touched it in remembrance of Qu Yuan. The breath of history is infused into it, and the wishes for a peaceful and prosperous life for the people are condensed within it, creating this relic of 'calamity'."

Su Jianyuan pinched it with three fingers of one hand, placed it between his eyebrows, and absorbed it with the seal.

In an instant, the shouts of dragon boat races and the laughter of families eating zongzi filled everyone's ears. A warm feeling rose from the bottom of their hearts, and history and culture coexisted as relics and sequences.

"Haha, great!"

Tang Jingyu patted the sword, and immediately three locks appeared on the Crimson Sky Sword.

The former gripped his hand tightly, and the imprint transformed into a key, unlocking the three locks one by one.

He is about to awaken the fully revived form of the Crimson Sky Sword.
