Journey to the West Arrives: Start by becoming an apprentice of the Tongtian Sect Leader!

And so Li Xuancang flew towards the direction of the Southern Continent.

As for why they insisted on going to Jambudvipa (the southern continent).

As we can learn from Journey to the West, the Tang Dynasty in Journey to the West was located in Jambudvipa, which was also the most prosperous place for the human race.

When Li Xuancang first transmigrated to this world, he was quite curious about the Southern Continent.

If we combine Journey to the West with actual history, Tang Sanzang's journey to obtain the scriptures took place during the Zhenguan era, so Sun Wukong's birth should have occurred during the Han Dynasty, or more specifically, during Wang Mang's usurpation of the Han throne.

If we follow this timeline, Li Xuancang traveled to this world three thousand years ago, so the human dynasty should be the Shang Dynasty, or even the mid-Shang period.

If we calculate based on this timeline, then the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods should not have occurred.

Therefore, Li Xuancang at that time felt an extreme sense of disconnect...

After achieving success in his cultivation, Li Xuancang made several trips to the Southern Continent.

Only then did Li Xuancang realize that the dynasties in this prehistoric world existed for a completely different period of time than in actual history!

For example, the Zhou Dynasty in ancient times, which is recorded among humankind.

This terrifying dynasty actually lasted for a full 80,000 years, almost a whole era!

The subsequent Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods also lasted for tens of thousands of years.

Even the history of the Zhou Dynasty is now referred to as the ancient period by the people of the Han Dynasty.

All I can say is that the dynasties in this world are truly outrageous...

And so Li Xuancang rode the clouds and mist all the way to the Southern Continent.

After arriving in the Southern Continent, the number of humans there had increased significantly, and Li Xuancang had seen many villages and cities along the way.

Instead of revealing himself, Li Xuancang first found a bamboo grove, then waved his hand to gather all the bamboo leaves.

Then, he used the power of the Golden Immortal to refine these bamboo leaves.

As the magic flowed, these bamboo leaves transformed into swords, each bamboo leaf being forged into a sword.

And these bamboo leaves number far more than hundreds of thousands!

Although these swords cannot be considered spiritual treasures, they can be regarded as magical artifacts after being refined by Li Xuancang's Golden Immortal-level magical power.

Li Xuancang could easily forge such magical artifacts; they were just a pile of junk. But for today's players, these swords were comparable to divine weapons!

Following that, Li Xuancang further edited and modified the cultivation techniques he had researched, creating over a thousand cultivation techniques in a row.

Although these cultivation methods are so difficult that even mortals struggle to reach the realm of immortals, they can indeed be considered cultivation methods...

With everything prepared, Li Xuancang casually found a mountain peak, waved his magic power, and instantly five-colored auspicious clouds enveloped it, with pavilions and towers appearing and disappearing in the celestial light.

Li Xuancang's idea was to use this miracle to attract a group of players.

On one hand, it's about exchanging skill proficiency upgrade cards held by players.

On the other hand, Li Xuancang also has a player panel, so he knows one thing: players can not only communicate with each other, but also trade with each other.

You don't need to search the whole world for players; you can have some players collect proficiency upgrade cards from others.

Then we can use slightly better items to exchange for more proficiency upgrade cards from them.

For example, if you can produce 100,000 proficiency enhancement cards, then this immortal can teach you a true divine power!

With this idea in mind, Li Xuancang was not in a hurry. He peacefully closed his eyes and cultivated atop the mountain, waiting for the players who would gather there...

Meanwhile, in the world chat channel of the Journey to the West game.

[Brothers! A miracle has been discovered in Jambudvipa! Pictures don't lie! Look at these colorful clouds, look at these pavilions and towers—this is definitely the abode of immortals! I'm off! I'm going to seek my immortal destiny!]

"Damn, bro, we seem to be pretty close. I saw that strange phenomenon too. They just stole a horse and are heading that way."

[I'll fight you lot who descended upon Jambudvipa! I've restarted eighteen times already, how come I'm still in Uttarakuru?]

[Hehe... I was originally in Xiniu Hezhou, but after only one restart, I arrived in Nanzhanbuzhou. Pretty lucky!]

I also saw that celestial light, but it's quite far away, at least several hundred miles. It looked like a multicolored pillar of light on the distant horizon. I don't know how long it would take to get there.

[Brothers who are nearby, hurry up and join! You might just unlock the door to immortality!]

【………………………】

And so, the hype surrounding the descent of the immortals grew ever stronger.

Centered on Li Xuancang's location, players within a radius of several hundred miles began to try every means to rush to this place.

These players came from all directions, and Li Xuancang didn't want to chat with them one by one, so he casually threw a stone tablet at the foot of the mountain.

The stone tablet is inscribed with the words "The mountain gate will open after March".

And so, three months passed quietly, and thousands of players gradually gathered here.

There were even many local residents and government officials involved.

Li Xuancang didn't care too much about this, since he wouldn't have much to do with the mortal dynasties anyway...

Seeing that thousands of players had already gathered, Li Xuancang nodded in satisfaction.

It seems there are only so many players around here. After we finish this job, we can move on to another place.

The three-month deadline had arrived, and Li Xuancang withdrew the mountain-protecting formation he had casually set up earlier. The players then rushed towards the mountaintop like madmen.

Li Xuancang sat upright atop a five-colored cloud...

"What brings you all to this humble place of cultivation?"

The players were overjoyed to see Li Xuancang sitting on the clouds; they had truly encountered an immortal!

Among these players were some clever ones who, upon hearing Li Xuancang's voice, immediately knelt down on the ground.

"Immortal above! This disciple has sought the Dao for many years, and now I have finally met a true immortal!"

"I humbly request that the immortal grant me a destiny to serve you, for I am willing to dedicate my life to serving you!"

Upon hearing this player's shout, all the surrounding players glared at him angrily.

How could you be so greedy, taking food and money at the same time?!

It's one thing to ask an immortal to grant you a chance at immortality, but judging from your words, you also want an immortal to take you as a disciple?

So one by one, these thousands of players knelt down on the ground, their words basically the same: they all wanted to seek a chance at immortality or beg Li Xuancang to take them as his disciples.

Besides these players, the local people and officials were the same.

But at this moment, Li Xuancang slowly shook his head…

"You are not destined to become my disciples, so there is no need to mention it again."

Upon hearing this, the players were all disappointed.

However, at that moment, Li Xuancang changed the subject.

"During my travels, I encountered a mortal who gave me a card, which I found quite interesting..."
