The Game with Fairies

Chapter 128

“This world is heading towards destruction…”

“The spiritual essence is depleted, and everything is beyond salvation…”

In the pitch-black void, a huge shadow lurking in the darkness muttered in a low voice, its deep and penetrating breath echoing in the darkness.

In the void, six other dark shadows lurked.

They whispered among themselves, their fragmented voices intertwining and echoing, merging into a kind of eerie murmur, like a nightmare.

Li Muyang stood in this bizarre and gloomy void, subconsciously pinching his thigh.

There was no sensation of pain…

Was this a dream?

His eyes widened in astonishment.

He had just successfully achieved Foundation Establishment and hadn’t even had the chance to celebrate when suddenly he found himself in such a strange nightmare?

Li Muyang, in the dark void, slightly furrowed his brows, trying to awaken his consciousness.

He remembered that he was still on the flying boat returning to his sect, almost reaching the Demonic Sect’s headquarters.

During the journey, he played games, attempting to complete ‘Deadly Weed’, while cultivating with the Jade Marrow Spiritual Elixir from his Qiankun Ring.

He was only a step away from the Foundation Establishment Realm, and now with ample cultivation resources, he easily achieved Foundation Establishment.

He was also fairly familiar with the spiritual energy circulation diagram of the Netherworld Demon Manual.

The spiritual energy circulation route within his body had completely transformed into the Netherworld Demon Technique.

After discarding the inferior introductory technique, his cultivation speed and efficiency greatly improved.

Everything was moving in a positive direction.

But why did he have such a bizarre and outrageous nightmare right after successfully achieving Foundation Establishment?

In the dark void, Li Muyang slightly furrowed his brows.

He looked at the six dark shadows in front of him, instinctively wanting to retreat.

Although it was a nightmare, he instinctively didn’t want to disturb these six terrifying dark shadows.

At that moment, one of the shadows caught his attention.

“…The awakened Blue Star III from Demon Sword City is still unable to communicate.”

The shadow that spoke was shrouded in a black robe, its face and gender indiscernible.

However, its fingers under the robe were pale and slender, one adorned with a red gemstone ring engraved with the character ?VI?.

And between its fingers, it held another ring that Li Muyang found oddly familiar.

A ring with a blue gemstone and the character ?III?.

Li Muyang instinctively stared at the ring with the blue gemstone, motionless.

“…Unable to communicate?”

The largest shadow in the darkness let out a low, cold snort.

“Is it a failed descent of a deity? Or a revival of a true immortal? How come it has been so long and still unable to communicate?”

In response to the questioning, the shadow wearing the ?VI? character red ring answered calmly: “A strange force has obscured all traces of Blue Star III, making it impossible to divine, locate, or communicate with.”

“It seems to be hidden outside of heaven and earth, not within this world.”

“My divination techniques are useless against it.”

“From various indications, this newcomer who has obtained the position of Blue Star III seems to be somewhat dangerous… Should we continue to make contact?”

The shadow wearing the ?VI? ring looked towards the others in the darkness.

Its words, like a stone cast into a lake, immediately stirred up a great commotion.

The shadows in the void began to argue again.

They seemed to be arguing fiercely, but Li Muyang’s ears hurt from the noise, and he couldn’t make out what they were arguing about.

Only at the end did he vaguely catch a part of the conversation.

“…Pass the ring to it. If it is willing, it will naturally communicate with us.”

“If it is unwilling, then act as if there is no Blue Star III in this world…”

…….

In the morning light, Li Muyang opened his eyes blankly, his gaze somewhat vacant.

The overly deep and eerie nightmare left his brain somewhat dizzy.

What kind of nonsensical nightmare was this?

Li Muyang rubbed his throbbing temples and smiled wryly.

Was he under too much pressure lately, causing him to start having nightmares?

Outside, Guan Xiaoshun’s voice could be heard.

“Brother Li, breakfast is ready, we have blood pigeon soup today~”

The simple boy from the border town was very enthusiastic about good food.

Blood pigeons, a type of low-level spiritual bird, contained spiritual energy in their flesh and blood.

When cooked into soup, not only was the taste delicious, but it was also beneficial for cultivation.

According to the show-off young man Cheng Feiyang, even inner disciples couldn’t afford to eat such good things at every meal.

But on this trip back to the Demonic Sect’s headquarters, Li Muyang and the others had similar good food for three meals a day, almost without fail.

Ning Wan’er said that this was Elder Yan’s reward for the inner disciples who had survived the trip to Demon Sword City.

After all, the inner disciples on this flying boat had followed Elder Yan to Demon Sword City and had gone through many dangers, deserving both credit and hard work.

It was reasonable for Elder Yan to secure some special treatment for the inner disciples.

And with delicious food at every meal, the food-loving young man Guan Xiaoshun naturally didn’t miss a single one.

Moreover, every time it was time to eat, he would call out to Li Muyang, who was next door engrossed in cultivation, to join him.

Hearing Guan Xiaoshun’s voice, Li Muyang replied perfunctorily.

“Alright. I’m coming!”

He rolled out of bed, ready to leave.

He had played games too late last night and didn’t know when he had fallen asleep, only to have such a strange nightmare afterward.

It must have been the sinister and eerie atmosphere of Black Cloud Village that caused Li Muyang to have a nightmare.

After musing about the gloomy atmosphere of Black Cloud Village, Li Muyang got up and stretched.

But the next second, Li Muyang froze.

Next to his pillow, there lay a ring and an immortal sword.

That immortal sword was the Startling Swan Immortal Sword that he had stored in his dantian qi sea.

Without his active summoning, the sword should not have appeared.

Yet there it was, lying quietly by the bed, and next to it was a ring.

On the inlaid deep blue gemstone, the character ?III? was clearly visible.

Was this… the ring from the dream?

Li Muyang was stunned for a moment, then quickly activated the Startling Swan Sword Mantra, recalling the immortal sword back into his dantian.

He then picked up the ring that had mysteriously appeared from the ground, and a strange thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

–Was last night’s nightmare actually real?

Were there a group of bizarre and strange shadows that forcibly gave him a ring representing ?Blue Star III??

F*ck?

The bunch in the nightmare, all of them had an eerie presence, clearly up to no good.

They might be one of those evil organizations destined to be cannon fodder for the protagonist.

Did I somehow get entangled with an evil organization for no reason?

Li Muyang picked up the sapphire ring, widened his eyes, and examined it closely.

Suddenly, a system prompt popped up in his field of vision.

?Special treasure detected–Ring of Blue Star III?

?Would you like to refine this treasure??

?Yes/No?

“Huh? This thing can trigger the system too?”

Li Muyang was somewhat surprised.

Up to now, the only treasure that could trigger the system function was the Startling Swan Immortal Sword.

But the Startling Swan Immortal Sword is an immortal weapon!

This ring can trigger the system… could it be that the ring is also an immortal weapon?
