Arc 3: Part 0
Note: Fair warning... I don't read cultivation novels so I may have mistranslated some terms here and there. My apologies.
Cultivation!
Tong Su's face tightened.
She had performed in a few fairy tale dramas, which required her to read numerous novels on cultivation, and so she had some understanding of the topic.
That world was rife with dangers and life was as precarious as an ants'; compared to the ancient world she had just experienced, it was like heaven and hell!
"666, if I die in the mission world, what will happen?"
【Depending on the situation, either the mission will be deemed completed or failed. If it's a failure, your soul will forcibly return to your original world,】 666 advised worriedly. 【Your body in your original world has already been cremated. If returned, that would mean...】
Tong Su would mean, complete death.
Tong pressed her lips together, her expression full of struggle. She didn't want to waste points needlessly, but these cards could be incredibly useful, and without any extra help, she couldn't be sure if she would encounter danger.
After considering her options, Tong Su made a quick decision. "I want to buy cards!"
【Alright, Miss, what do you need?】
Tong Su browsed the store and quickly made her decision: "Healing Card and Newcomer Bundle Pack."
[Healing Card]: Can heal any injuries caused by attacks (excluding self-inflicted disease). Price: 10,000 points.
[Newcomer Bundle Pack]: Contains a random weapon coupon, a beauty card, a book sage card, a talent card, and a first-level portable space. Price: 100,000 points.
From the newcomer pack she previously received, she still had an antidote card, so she just needed to supplement with a healing card.
As for the Newcomer Bundle Pack, she was attracted by the Talent Card it contained.
[Talent Card]: Can draw and acquire a certain talent within the rules of this world, of high quality.
In the cultivation world, inherent talents like comprehension, spiritual roots, or talents for alchemy, artifact refining, beast control, formation methods, and so on, are all extremely important. They can even directly determine whether a person's cultivation path would be smooth.
The Talent Card's standalone sale price is 100,000 points, but the total price for this bundle pack is also 100,000 points—it's clearly more cost-effective to buy the latter.
【Your total expenditure is 110,000 points. You have a remaining balance of 151,000 points.】
"Mmm, can we start the next world then?"
【Alright, Miss, get ready—we are about to teleport!】

Immortal Dao, Ziwei Heavenly Palace.
There are thousands of immortal cultivation sects, but the one that is recognized as the foremost is the Ziwei Heavenly Palace.
Located in the extreme north, the Ziwei Heavenly Palace sits atop an icy tundra and snowy glacier. Countless mountain peaks are covered with snow all year round, and often there would be immortals and fairy maidens in white clothes, breaking through the clouds and mist, stepping on flying swords, and landing in the ethereal mountain range.
However, at this moment, the previously ethereal fairyland was dead silent, with an oppressive and gloomy atmosphere.
If a mortal were to climb to the immortal mountain at this time, they would be surprised to find that the once high and mighty immortals and fairy maidens were now gathered in the scripture preaching square on the main peak.
Their bodies were covered in blood, their faces pale, and no smiles could be seen.
In a mountain path, several Jin Danists walked quickly, speaking in a serious and low tone.
"Where is the demon lord?"
"He was struck and severely injured by the combined efforts of more than a dozen Nascent Soul ancestors from our sect and fell into the Ten-thousand Ghosts Demon Cave!"
"Great! He won't come out alive, will he?"
Another person appeared solemn and teetered between nodding and shaking his head, whispering:
"You know the dangers of that place. Only one person in ten million could possibly come out of it alive. But whoever does emerge will become the world's greatest calamity! His talent is breathtaking — who can say for sure that he'll die there?"
Everyone fell silent, their faces showing a mixture of fear, disdain, and a hint of...
Incomprehension and anger from being betrayed.
"The sect leader has ordered to temporarily suppress the news of Jing Yang Immortal King's betrayal and fall into the demonic path and secretly investigate every member of his Jing Yang Peak lineage. All disciples of the peak must be imprisoned! Now, his junior sister Bai Tong's whereabouts are unknown—we must thoroughly search for her!
"Yes!"
