Chapter 433: Sea of Corpses and Blood
Chapter 433: Sea of Corpses and Blood
“Pathetic ants.”
A cold voice came from Yuan’s mouth after killing the unknown attacker, yet the voice didn’t belong to Yuan.
‘What is going on?’ Yuan wondered inwardly, as his situation was quite bizarre, but this isn’t his first time being in this kind of situation, as he would have these dreams every once in a while after he unlocked his bloodline.
However, the only difference was that these dreams would happen in the real world while he slept. This is the first time he’s having one of these realistic dreams while playing Cultivation Online.
Furthermore, this dream was vastly different compared to his other dreams. It was much more bloody and more sinister in nature.
“Since this is a dream, does this mean I am actually unconscious right now? What bad timing…” Yuan sighed.
As much as he wanted to wake up from this dream, he knew that it was impossible to wake up by himself, as these dreams would not stop until he experiences all of it.
Sometime later, the person Yuan was dreaming of suddenly flew off the ground and towards the darkened sky.
Yuan looked down at the sea of corpses and blood beneath him, and he wondered what caused this carnage.
‘Yuan’ continued to fly straight for many hours, and there would be someone attacking him every few minutes.
Of course, these attackers were instantly slain by Yuan before they could even get close.
A few hours later, Yuan stopped after he arrived in front of this floating temple that was the most magnificent building Yuan has ever seen, as it was so grand and luxurious that it made him speechless.
However, right before he reached the doors, even more people surrounded him, and all of them appeared to be extremely powerful people.
Hundreds… thousands… millions of people appeared out of the blue to surround him.
Yuan could see the mouth of these people moving, yet he wasn’t able to hear their voices for some reason.
After a few minutes, these people flew at him with their weapons raised.
Yuan closed his eyes and sighed.
When he opened his eyes again, half of the people surrounding him had disappeared, and thousands of lifeless bodies could be seen falling to the ground.
Those that were still alive held terrified expressions on their faces, almost like they were looking at the devil himself.
Suddenly, a bright light appeared in the distance.
This light flew in their direction and stopped a few miles away from Yuan.
The light began disappearing once it stopped moving, revealing a few figures inside.
However, right as Yuan turned to look at these newcomers’ faces, his vision turned black, and he could hear familiar voices coming from beside him.
Meanwhile, back at Senior Bai’s world, after examining Yuan’s body, he said, “There’s really nothing wrong with his body, but for some odd reason, his symbol is emitting this aura I have never seen before.”
“Aura? Let me see it…” Xu Jiaqi pulled the Celestial Overlords symbol out of Yuan’s body to inspect it.
“It’s reacting to his body… But even I don’t know why it’s doing this…” Xu Jiaqi said after a moment of silence.
It was at this moment Yuan began opening his eyes.
Even though he’d spent a couple of hours inside his dream, only a few minutes have passed since he lost consciousness.
“Yuan? Are you okay?” Senior Bai asked him after noticing that he was waking up.
“Yes, I am okay.”
“What happened just now?” Xu Jiaqi then asked.
“I don’t know. I felt this pain in my body and then I began having this weird dream the next moment,” he said after sitting up.
“Don’t worry, I have these dreams often.”
“Dreams?” Xu Jiaqi raised her eyebrow, yet she didn’t think too much of it.
“Anyways, as long as you’re okay.”
Sometime later, once they were certain Yuan was fine, Xu Jiaqi said, “It’s about time we return.”
And she continued, “As for the Ancient Spirit Jade… You can keep it. It’s a gift for joining the faction.”
Yuan nodded, “Thank you for everything. I will try my best to contribute to the faction!”
“I will send you out now. If you need to speak with me, you know where to go.” Senior Bai said to Yuan before sending him to the portal.
Once Yuan was gone, Senior Bai smiled and said, “The others will be very jealous if they learn that you’d personally recruited someone, and he’s even someone from the Lower Heavens.”
However, Xu Jiaqi didn’t say anything and merely stood there in silence, seemingly in a daze.
“He reminds me of someone,” she suddenly said.
“Hm? Yuan? Who?” Senior Bai asked.
“The founder.”
“Eh?” Senior Bai was dumbfounded after hearing this.
“Really? I have never met the founder so I can’t really say. What’s similar between them? Their demeanor or aura?”
“His eyes.” Xu Jiaqi said, and she continued, “The more I look at his eyes, the more I get this feeling.”
Sometime later, they returned to the table where the others were.
“You’re finally back.” One of them said when they saw their return.
“Did something happen?” Senior Bai asked them after noticing the weird atmosphere.
“You didn’t feel that just now? Where did the two of you go?” Another one said.
“What happened?” Xu Jiaqi asked them in a solemn voice.
“The entire world shook for a good minute just now.”
“What?” Senior Bai’s eyes widened.
“The ninth heaven shook?” Xu Jiaqi was also surprised to hear this.
“Yeah. Hopefully, it’s nothing to be worried about.”
“The last time the ninth heaven shook, the first Celestial Emperor was murdered…” Senior Bai said.
The place turned silent after Senior Bai said such a sentence.
Meanwhile, Yuan returned to the Myriad of Techniques after leaving Senior Bai’s world.
When the guards saw him return safely, they both released a sigh of relief, as it meant that they get to keep their job and life.
A few minutes later, Yuan returned to the first floor where everyone was waiting.
