A great adventure in the world of immortal cultivation

Lead Guard: Confrontation of wills, 6/50, extremely difficult to succeed.

KP: Lead Guard: I think I can handle it. (laughing)

Xiao Huohuo:???

KP: So, even though the double threat from you, Xiao Huohuo, and Romeo was incredibly powerful, and scared the leading guard so much that he broke out in a cold sweat, his body trembled like a sieve, and he almost fainted again, he still gritted his teeth and said nothing.

Xiao Huohuo: This, this is not right!

Han Buli: Hiss... How could you possibly hold out under the combined intimidation of Lao Xiao and Lao Luo? Captain Haji, you're still Pavel Korchagin!

Joan of Arc: Okay, I respect you as a man!

Xiao Huohuo: Humph, he's powerless to resist anyway. If one shot doesn't work, I'll just give it another! Lao Luo, get ready!

Romeo: Yeah!

Joan of Arc: Damn, you are devils.

Sha: Okay, stop making things difficult for him.

KP: Just as the situation reached a stalemate, Sha suddenly spoke. Upon hearing that clear, bell-like voice, the leading guard froze, turned, and a look of shock crossed his face.

Lead Guard: Princess! Why are you here?!

Xiao Huohuo: Huh? So she's a princess?

Han Buli: (pinching his nose) I did guess that his status was not low.

Romeo: The little princess is so cute~

Jeanne: It’s really cute.

KP: So, seeing that you all looked more or less surprised, Sha winked playfully, showed a hint of an apologetic smile, then turned to look at the leading guard, looking a little dissatisfied.

Sha: Humph, of course I ran away secretly. Anyway, Captain Luo, you must have been sent by my father to capture me and bring me back. Why are you asking me questions when you already know the answer?

Team Leader Luo: Uh, yes... We're in charge of searching this area. We heard someone say there were outsiders invading the square, so we came to check out the situation... Not good! These people are evil demons from outside the domain, extremely vicious. Princess, run away!

KP: After saying that, the leader surnamed Luo struggled to get up, as if he wanted to cover Sha's retreat.

Xiao Huohuo: That's enough, just lie down. (Fills in a first aid punch)

Team leader surnamed Luo: ...Guah!

Sha: Okay, Captain Luo, don't be too nervous. Although they come from the outside world, they are not evil demons. They are normal people like us.

Team leader Luo: How is this possible? That flaming sword just now was clearly a sorcery!

Sha: But doesn’t the Imperial Master also know something similar? Is that also a sorcery?

KP: Upon hearing this, a surge of excitement flushed onto the already pale face of the team leader surnamed Luo.

Team leader Luo said: "The Imperial Master is the Imperial Master! How can he be compared with these foreign demons? Princess, please don't speak nonsense!"

Sha: (pouting) Got it, got it. Anyway, they're not bad people. Captain Luo, you know I'm always pretty good at judging people. Just stay here and recuperate. When father comes, tell him not to worry about me. I'll be back on my own after a quick stroll!

Team Leader Luo: But...

Sha: There is nothing to worry about. Even if they are really evil demons from outer space, do you have the ability to rescue me from them now?

Team leader surnamed Luo: Um... I’m ashamed!

KP: Well, with his eloquence, Sha easily silenced the leader, surnamed Luo. Then, turning to you, he stuck out his tongue sheepishly.

Sha: (sticks out tongue) Sorry for hiding my identity, but you didn't tell me your name either, so we're even!

Joan of Arc: So cute.

Xiao Huohuo: Haha, in that case, let’s get to know each other again. My name is Yanxiao.

Han Buli: Okay, okay, let’s play it this way, right? Then my name is Li Feiyu.

Romeo: I am Juliet.

Jeanne: I'm... Damn, I don't seem to have a corresponding pseudonym. (annoyed)

Xiao Huohuo: You can call it 1.4 meters.

Joan of Arc: Damn it!

KP: So, after listening to the names you announced, Sha blinked and puffed up her lips slightly.

Sha: Well, it seems like you guys aren’t telling the truth... but you don’t have any bad intentions either. Okay, let’s just leave it at that!

Xiao Huohuo: The child is so easy to coax. (Laughs)

Han Buli: You are wrong. Xiaosha is just being sensible and giving in to you.

KP: Walking forward, Sha tugged at Romeo's sleeve.

Sha: Okay, let’s leave here quickly, otherwise it will be troublesome if father’s men come looking for us!

Romeo: Wow, little sister Sha, are you going to join us?

Sha: Of course! This is the first time I've met someone from the Outlands in my life, and I have a ton of questions for you!

Xiao Huohuo: Then as an equal exchange, you also have to answer our questions and take us on a tour of the city, how about that?

Sha: Okay, it’s a deal!

……

KP: So, after this little episode, the four of you met this lively little girl named Sha, and under her guidance, you began to tour this isolated underground city. In order to hide your tracks, Sha also found a coarse cloth cloak for each of you, which you put on over the white robes, so that at least you would not be too conspicuous.

KP: Perhaps it's because he was born into a royal family, receiving a good upbringing. Although only ten years old, Sha already possesses considerable sociability and, unlike someone else, is very sociable (Han Buli:?). As Sha explained, you gradually understood the city's scale and layout—it's roughly square in shape, covering approximately ten square kilometers, with a population of around 4000 households. Their livelihoods primarily involve mushroom cultivation and the rearing of subterranean creatures. Life is simple and monotonous, with only the annual ancestral worship ceremony affording them a good meal.

KP: At the same time, you also told Sha about the outside world. Compared with the monotonous gray and black of the underground world, the colorful scenes made Sha exclaim repeatedly with just a simple description, and his blue eyes were full of brilliance.

Sha: Chengtian Sect, cultivating immortals, outer sect competitions, exploring secret realms... the world outside sounds so exciting! Can I also open my spiritual orifices like you and become a cultivator?

Jeanne: KP, can we teach her the Tianzong Qi Condensing Technique?

KP: No, not to mention whether the other party has the aptitude to cultivate immortality. Once a technique is learned, it becomes a thought in your mind, an instinct, something you can only understand but not explain. Unless you have a ready-made technique, or have reached the Foundation Establishment stage, you can attempt to enlighten a mortal. Of course, the prerequisite is that the other party has the aptitude.

Xiao Huohuo: There used to be a ready-made technique, but now it's gone. What's going on? (Pinching nose)

Han Buli: Lao Luo is being beaten!

Romeo: Oh, oh, oh.

KP: So, after learning that he couldn't embark on the path of cultivating immortals, Sha Dudu pouted and seemed a little discouraged.

Sha: Okay... Then when you go back, can you take me with you to see it?

Xiao Huohuo: Emmm, it’s hard to say. We were also forcibly dragged here, and now we don’t know how to go back.

Han Buli: Indeed.

sand:……

KP: Although he didn't say it explicitly, it seemed like he saw through your inner thoughts. For a period of time afterwards, Sha was in a low mood.

Joan of Arc: Poor kid.

Romeo: How about this, when we go back, I will immediately bring you a volume of exercises, Sister Xiaosha, and give it to you when we come next time, and you can start practicing.

Sandy: Really?

Romeo: Really.

Sha: Then let’s make a promise!

Romeo: That's great.

KP: So, with Romeo's encouragement, Xiaosha is smiling again.

Xiao Huohuo: (pinching nose) I always feel like you guys have set a flag.

Han Buli: +1.

Joan of Arc: Byd Romeo, don't let my little bastard die! (half annoyed)

Xiao Huohuo: But according to the settings and title of this copy, it is basically a guarantee of death.

Joan of Arc: I don’t want to listen. ...

KP: Before you know it, you've already walked through the city for half an hour, covering a third of its surface area and arriving at the "top" of the city. Compared to the previous residential areas, the buildings here are taller and more orderly, clearly the residence of the upper class.

KP: Then, Sha stopped and looked at two tall buildings next to each other not far away, looking a little melancholy.

Sha: That’s the Imperial Palace and the Imperial Master’s Residence. I didn’t expect to get here so quickly today.

KP: Just observe.

Xiao Huohuo: Observation, 59/40, failure.

Han Buli: Observation, 17/50, success.

KP: Following Sha's gaze, you see the Imperial Palace of this underground city—a magnificent structure constructed of white marble, shimmering under the starlight like the elegance and grace of white jade. To the right of the palace lies the so-called Imperial Master's Residence. Compared to the palace's opulence, the Imperial Master's Residence is rather rugged, resembling an upright black coffin, giving off a sense of foreboding.

Xiao Huohuo: It turns out that this national teacher is the BOSS, but I don’t know what level of cultivation he has.

Han Buli: I blindly guessed that he was at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

KP: (Pinching nose)

Sha: The Imperial Master said that the outside world is now overrun with demons and desolate, and that we are the last survivors. My father and everyone else believed him, but I was the only one who didn't believe him... Now the facts prove that I was right! There is indeed a more wonderful world out there!

Joan of Arc: Xiaosha, do you hate this imperial teacher?

KP: Sha nodded, then shook his head.

Sha: I don't know why. Ever since I was born, I've been able to see everyone's inner thoughts and understand their emotions... But with the Imperial Master, I can't feel anything from him. It's like he's a table or a cabinet. So every time I see him, I get a little scared.

KP: After saying that, Sha glanced at you, fiddling with the corner of her clothes with her little hands, as if she wanted to say something but was too embarrassed to say it, and became a little embarrassed.

Xiao Huohuo: What’s wrong? Just say whatever you want to say!

Sha: Um... I know it's a bit abrupt of me to make this request so suddenly, but could you please come with me to the palace to pay my respects to Father? I believe that once he sees you, Father will realize that the outside world isn't so scary after all!

Xiao Huohuo: Ah, this...

Romeo: Huh? I'm about to meet my father-in-law, and I'm not ready yet. (shy)

Han Buli: Damn it! This clearly means we need to go head-to-head with the Imperial Master! And there's a good chance we'll even have to throw in a King's mixed doubles match!

Jeanne: Indeed... But since KP gives the choice here, it at least means that this choice will not have much impact on the final result.

Han Buli: Hmm...

KP: Okay, please make your choice. Do you want to follow Sha into the palace to meet the emperor?

Xiao Huohuo: Well, I feel like I can go or not. (Pinching nose)

Han Buli: ...No!

Romeo: Go!

Joan of Arc: I feel like I can go or not.

Xiao Huohuo: How about this, let’s give the choice to the dice girl. If it’s greater than 50, then go, otherwise don’t go. How about that?

Joan of Arc: Yes.

Romeo: Yes.

Han Buli:...Okay, although I still think it’s better not to go.

Xiao Huohuo: Then please, Dice Lady, please guide us!

Go Or Not: [1d100:80], Go.

Xiao Huohuo: Okay, then let’s go to the capital to meet the emperor and see what’s going on!

KP: Well, seeing you nod in agreement, Sha was delighted and ran towards the palace with you, bounding and skipping. With Sha leading the way, the palace was naturally no longer a forbidden place for you. As soon as you reached the gate, someone turned and attacked, shouting the news of the princess's return. Then, Sha was led by several servants into the palace first. Several other servants led the four of you to the main hall, awaiting the emperor's arrival.

Han Buli: I have a sense of danger.

Han Buli: Danger perception, 81/50, failed.

KP: The hall was empty. There was no one in sight except the four of you. Han Buli did not sense any danger, but the silent atmosphere without any human voices always made people feel a little uncomfortable.

Xiao Huohuo: Let me observe.

Xiao Huohuo: Observation, 62/40, failure.

KP: After looking at Han Buli, Xiao Huohuo, who was looking around, failed to obtain any useful information.
