Game Cultivation World: I'm really playing games

After finishing a busy day, Xue Tianhan climbed up the city wall again. He looked at the mountains and rivers outside the city, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

He knew very well that time was running out and every minute and every second was crucial.

The future of Jingzhou City and Liu Bei's great cause weighed heavily on his shoulders. He secretly resolved that no matter how many difficulties and obstacles lay ahead, he would work with Liu Bei's forces to carve out a path forward and realize his ambition of unifying the Three Kingdoms.

Night fell once again, and the lights inside and outside Jingzhou City were still bright. All forces were busy preparing for the coming war. An even more intense battle had already begun in secret.

In the days that followed, preparations for the capture of Jingzhou City proceeded intensively. Soldiers drilled day and night, their cries of battle echoing throughout the barracks.

The craftsmen worked tirelessly in the workshop, and made new breakthroughs in the plan to improve the Gatling gun.

After repeated experiments, they successfully developed a heat dissipation sleeve made of a mixture of cold iron and spirit crystals. It can not only quickly absorb the heat of the barrel, but also convert part of the heat into spiritual power, providing additional power for shooting.

Xiao Qi, Lady Green Snake and Hu Meiniang went through hardships in the mountains and forests and finally found the reclusive stranger.

The stranger lived in a simple house built of vines and bamboo, and the air was filled with a strange fragrance.

Xiao Qi respectfully told Yi Ren about the dark power of Night Owl and the difficulties they faced.

The stranger closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then took out an ancient wooden box from the house, which contained a yellowed ancient book and several glowing talismans.

"This ancient book records the exquisite use of the ancient five elements magic. Combined with these talismans, it may be able to break the dark power." The stranger said slowly.

Xiao Qi and the others took the ancient books and talismans with great gratitude, and immediately decided to stay in the mountains and follow the stranger to study the Five Elements magic.

During the days when Jingzhou City was busy preparing for the battle, although Xue Tianhan devoted himself to various affairs, the level restriction was still like a huge rock weighing heavily on his mind.

After all, other players will not stand still. As the levels of players like Shi Potianjing increase, his previous level advantage will disappear.

With his current level of cultivation, facing the powerful forces of Cao Cao and Sun Quan who are eyeing him covetously, the future of Jingzhou City is still full of crises, and any carelessness will lead to its destruction.

Therefore, Xue Tianhan has been trying to find a way to break through during this period, and the chaotic space has become the key to his breakthrough attempt, because Xiao Qi was in the space at that time and was able to break through.

However, Xue Tianhan himself couldn't enter the space like Xiao Qi, which was a problem. So, he had an idea and thought of his clones No. 2 and No. 3.

Although these two clones were condensed by his special skills, they acted quite independently. On weekdays, they each worked secretly in different areas to protect Jingzhou City.

Deep in his consciousness, Xue Tianhan called out eagerly, relying on the close connection between him and his clone.

Avatar No. 3, who was patrolling in Jingzhou City, suddenly stopped in his tracks, a flash of understanding flashing in his eyes.

The No. 2 clone who was defending Kunling Sect immediately stopped what he was doing and looked in the direction of Xue Tianhan.

Without any delay, clone No. 3 used his skills to shuttle through the city like a ghost; clone No. 2 was teleported to Jingzhou through the Kunling Sect's teleportation array, and then flew towards Xue Tianhan's location.

Soon, two figures appeared in front of Xue Tianhan.

Avatar No. 2 has a stern look and exudes a murderous aura; Avatar No. 3 is a bit unruly, with a smart and sharp look in his eyes.

"Boss, you called us here because of something important?" Clone No. 2 spoke first, his voice low and powerful.

Xue Tianhan looked solemn as he told his two clones his plan.

"So that's how it is. This chaotic space might really help us break through." Clone No. 3's eyes flashed with excitement, and he rubbed his hands together.

"Boss, let's get started quickly. The third brother and I can't wait any longer." said No. 2.

"Okay, I'll take you into the space right now." Xue Tianhan said, and then with a thought, No. 2 and No. 3 arrived in the chaotic space, and his spiritual thoughts also entered the space.

The chaotic space has developed well at this moment, and the spiritual energy is much richer than before, especially in the East Palace, where the spiritual energy is as rich as outside.

"Boss, it seems that you have put a lot of thought into the Chaos Space during this period." No. 3 sighed as he looked at the current environment.

"Of course. We found a lot of good things in the tomb of the King of Nanyue before, most of which I used to develop the space." Xue Tianhan said proudly.

"So, boss, what should we do now?" asked No. 2.

"Wait a moment. I will set up a spirit gathering array for you in the place with the most spiritual energy. Then you two can practice in the array. I will control the spiritual energy in the space to converge towards the spirit gathering array and then help you break through." Xue Tianhan expressed his thoughts.

Afterwards, he controlled some materials in the space and established a large spirit gathering array near Linghu Lake.

"Okay, you guys go in. Don't be in a hurry to break through, take your time." Xue Tianhan reminded.

"Don't worry, boss, we won't let your kindness down." said No. 2 and No. 3.

The moment the clones stepped into the spirit gathering formation, violent energy rushed towards them like a surging tide, as if an invisible mountain were bearing down fiercely. Every inch of their skin bore immense pressure, and their bones cracked under the strain.

Clone No. 2 gritted his teeth, veins bulged on his forehead, and his spiritual power was running wildly throughout his body, trying to build a solid shield under the violent energy impact.

The shield was like a thin layer of paper at first, and was about to collapse under the impact of energy. However, clone No. 2 relied on his tenacious will and continued to inject spiritual power. The shield gradually became solid and barely withstood the first round of energy impact.

Avatar No. 3's eyes lit up, his excitement was beyond words, and his heart was burning with a strong desire for a breakthrough.

He roared, charging forward against the surging energy like a fearless warrior charging into battle. He stretched out his arms, attempting to absorb the raging energy. He had only one thought in mind: if he could achieve a breakthrough, all the pain would be worth it.

Xue Tianhan's divine consciousness closely followed his clones, constantly monitoring their every move. He could clearly feel the pain they endured, a ache that penetrated deep into their bones, but he also understood that this was the ordeal necessary for a breakthrough.

Throughout his training, Avatar #2 lived in the shadow of his original self, a deep desire to prove his worth. As he carefully guided a small stream of energy into his body, this long-suppressed desire and anxiety gave rise to his inner demons.

The inner demon transformed into countless snarling black shadows, surrounding Avatar No. 2 and shrieking sharply, "You're just a shadow. Even if you break through, what good will it do? You'll always live in the shadow of your original self!"

Clone No. 2 glared at me and retorted loudly, "Shut up! Do you think a few words can sway me? Although I am a clone, every drop of sweat and every battle are my own experience. The strength and willpower I possess are in no way inferior to the original!"

The inner demon let out a shrill, strange laugh. The black figure kept changing, presenting the scenes of Avatar No. 2 being ignored and compared one by one. "Look at this, everything you do is regarded as the credit of the original body. No one cares about your efforts. What's the point of breaking through?"

A flicker of hesitation flashed through the eyes of Avatar No. 2, but he quickly regained his composure. "I don't care what others think. I fight for myself and break through to prove my worth!"

Just as he was about to be devoured by his inner demon, Xue Tianhan's divine consciousness instantly issued an instruction, ringing like a huge bell in his mind: "Stay true to your heart, don't be deceived by illusions! Activate the Guiyuan Spiritual Power Technique!"

Clone No. 2 endured the severe pain and the interference of the inner demon, and according to Xue Tianhan's guidance, he struggled to adjust the flow of spiritual power. At the critical moment, he barely stabilized the chaos in his body.

Clone No. 3 has an unruly personality and pursues freedom, but he is often restricted on weekdays due to his identity as a clone and the responsibility of protecting Jingzhou City.

When he adopted a more radical approach to madly absorb energy, his deep desire for freedom and the constraints of reality came into fierce conflict, and his inner demons followed.

This time, the inner demon transformed into a massive cage, trapping Avatar No. 3 within. Its voice was low and oppressive, "Do you think a breakthrough will free you? Don't be foolish. You will forever be trapped within the shackles of your original body. You must do whatever it tells you to do. Your efforts are in vain; you cannot break free."

Clone No. 3 angrily pounded the cage. "Nonsense! I have my own thoughts and pursuits. Once I break through, I will definitely be able to break free from these constraints!"

The inner demon sneered, "Look at your past experiences. Was there ever a time when you weren't led by a mission? Every time you tried to display your abilities freely, you were restricted in various ways. You simply can't escape this fate!"

Clone No. 3 was shocked, and his mind involuntarily emerged with scenes of himself being restricted by tasks time and time again and unable to freely display his skills. His former pride and confidence were shattered.

His body swelled rapidly, his skin was stretched to near transparency by the energy, his blood vessels bulged, and blood oozed from countless tiny wounds, staining his clothes red.

Xue Tianhan was extremely anxious and kept transmitting the method of controlling energy to clone No. 3 through his divine consciousness: "Third brother, calm your mind! Don't let your inner demons control you. Follow my instructions and control the flow of energy!"

But at this time, clone No. 3 was already overwhelmed by his inner demons and the desire for a breakthrough, and ignored Xue Tianhan's guidance.

Just as clone No. 3 was about to be blown apart by the violent energy, his consciousness began to blur and the scene before his eyes became distorted.

Under the influence of his inner demons, these images were distorted into scenes of failure and despair. His heart began to waver. Was he really going to stop here?
