At the entrance of the Ghost Mountains.

Qi Ming’s figure appeared.

He chose to return to the world again because he could not resolve the confusion in his heart. He even ordered his descendants to prepare equipment such as the virtual reality headset and then he registered an account in the game.

After experiencing the gaming content, Qi Ming was in absolute shock.

Even though he had never been to the Underworld, he really suspected that the gaming scenes before his eyes were built according to the blueprint of the actual underworld.

To understand the truth, he had even ordered his grandson to investigate the situation of the proprietor of this game.

However, the outcome showed that the proprietor of the game was only an ordinary person and had no strong background. All of these seemed peculiar.

There was no information leakage of any sort regarding the research team behind the game. Such a tight blockade was really surprising.

His grandson planned to continue the investigation but was stopped by Qi Ming.

To him, the proprietor that came out from the investigation was only a disguise. There must be a scary cultivator behind the scenes.

He even suspected that the ability of the person behind all this had reached the state where he had access to the Nine Nether Regions, making him a person like the Earthly Deity who could travel back and forth between the Yin and Yang.

He did not understand why the powerhouse wanted to create this game. However, as the heir of the Ghost Fortune Sect, he was curious about the underworld and he felt the need to explore the place no matter what.

Therefore, Qi Ming chose to return to the world this time and settled down under his grandson’s arrangement.

However, his grandson seemed confused.

From the grandson’s point of view, he had always thought that his grandfather was a free but profound person who had been hidden from the world. But nowadays, he would only stay indoors to play games, until the extent of totally not stepping outside at all.

He was having a mental breakdown in his heart as his grandfather’s image started to crumble and the whole world became unfamiliar.

……

While experiencing the game, Qi Ming slowly understood that leveling up could make one stronger.

After leveling up several times, he became addicted to that feeling as he found out that his body strength in the game increased as the attributes became stronger. This feeling felt so real and at the same time solidified his guess last time.

In the game, Qi Ming chose the character class of mage which was more relatable to his own ability. He also learned his first skill of ‘Yin Soldier Summoning Skill’ at the Cultivation Pavilion.

After using the skill several times, Qi Ming felt shocked. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

This was because the releasing of the skill could trigger the movement of energy particles in the air. Other players could not sense this, but as a cultivator with a powerful state of mind, he could sense the movement clearly.

To testify this matter, he spent three days’ time to release the skill and realize the movement tracks of space energy.

After ensuring that he had fully mastered the movement tracks of this beginner’s skill, he started to try it in reality. The result was shocking.

Although he failed several times, he actually did summon a Yin soldier that was half-complete to the world of the living. The game was unreal but the scary thing was that the Yin Soldier Summoning Skill could actually be released in the living world!

Such a shocking discovery appalled Qi Ming and at the same time made him realize the horror of this game. He suspected that the powerhouse behind the game was attempting to use the game as a medium of inheritance.

Qi Ming was totally addicted to the game due to a combination of factors such as enhancing his cultivating techniques in the game, for the inheritance which might or might not exist and his yearning toward the underworld.

But, what freaked out Qi Ming’s grandson, Qi Lu was the moment when his grandfather asked for money from him without a hint of shame. Initially, he did not take it seriously. However, when he asked his grandfather what he was going to do with the money, Qi Ming said something he just learned from the official web forum, “Buy soul coins and get fortified with cash!”

Qi Lu was stunned!

His impression of his grandfather changed drastically at that moment.

Conversely, Qi Ming did not take this matter seriously.

As the players in the forum said, “How can you be strong without using cash!” Besides, he could not explore the game properly without coins, not to mention that he still had to learn new skills and buy new equipment. He had to spend coins everywhere.

As a 100-year-old man, Qi Ming deeply understood a principle at the moment, that gaming experience could only be improved by using cash.

……

Coming to the Ghost Mountains this time, Qi Ming walked alone into the mountains as usual.

When he was about to enter deeper into the mountains, he suddenly discovered a netherworld creature standing beside a heap of giant stones.

As he mingled around the forum very often, Qi Ming knew that the netherworld creatures were species that seldom drop items after being killed, so he was feeling delighted. When he was just about to attack the creature, a figure flashed out from beside him and overtook him.

“It’s mine!” the man turned around his head, glanced at Qi Ming coldly and walked toward the netherworld creature.

“Don’t you know about the courtesy of first-come-first-serve?” Qi Ming was not angry but he was not planning to let go of the creature either. He followed the man decisively.

“Whoosh!” a red long sword appeared out of nowhere and was held in the hands of Ao Jian.

At the same time, there were eight Spiritual Swords with different colors appearing behind his back, hanging in the air and emitting streams of the shining Sword Qi.

Seeing that, Qi Ming frowned as he could feel the overflowing Sword Qi. Other than that, he also felt that the person before him was quite different from other players he had seen before.

“Do you want to die?” Ao Jian looked at Qi Ming coldly while holding the Spiritual Sword in his hand.

“I have always seen people fighting over creatures on the forum. This is my first time encountering this. Please, enlighten me,” Qing Ming smiled and hit the ground with his wand. All of a sudden, black vapor started clouding and the Yin soldiers crawled out from the soil one after another.

With that, two real-life cultivators started their battle for the first time in the game.

See that Qi Ming was not giving up, Ao Jian became cold-hearted and with a swing of his red sword, he released a beam of sword light as he charged toward Qi Ming like lightning.

Without being frightened, Qi Ming started controlling the Yin soldiers to guard the attack while releasing a ‘Yin Corrosion’ and backed off continuously.

During the fight, Ao Jian was surprised to discover that the Yin soldiers Qi Ming had summoned were totally different from that of other players.

As if every one of them had its own conscious mind, they even knew how to avoid an attack actively and foresee the next attack, which seemed very peculiar.

Naturally, Ao Jian did not know that Qi Ming was a cultivator with a powerful state of mind and practiced spells in real life. To him, multitasking was a piece of cake.

However, Ao Jian already had some speculation in his heart. He did a quick duck and barged toward Qi Ming.

Seeing that, Qi Ming did not panic. Instead, he started wrestling with Ao Jian by slowing him down with the Yin Corrosion’s poison. At the same time, the Yin soldiers could always defend the attack coming from Ao Jian at critical moments.

For a moment, it was a tie between both parties.

After fighting again for a while, Ao Jian suddenly stopped attacking and asked, “Are you a cultivator?”

Qi Ming smiled and said, “If I guessed correctly, you are using the Ao Family Sword Style!”
