Game Cultivation World: I'm really playing games

Snowy and cold, he looked up, his gaze piercing through the flying snowflakes, fixed on the world's highest peak, towering into the clouds and seeming to connect heaven and earth.

The wind was howling, making his clothes rustle. He unconsciously held Xiaoqi's hand tightly, and the warmth of his palm conveyed firmness and determination.

He slowly turned around, facing the crowd behind him. His voice was steady and powerful, remarkably clear in the icy snow: "Spiritual energy cannot be used on this mountain, and ordinary climbing methods are useless. I plan to install an elevator to this highest peak."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qi's eyes flashed with surprise and anticipation. He asked in surprise and joy, "Install an elevator? Tianhan, how are you going to do it?"

Xue Tianhan's expression was calm as he explained methodically, "It's very simple. Refine three extra-long pillars, build a tripod outside the formation, and then lead a pillar from the top of the tripod straight to the top of the mountain."

"Um, my friend Xue, your method would be better if I could just fly you to the top of the mountain and then you could jump down." Qingluan couldn't help but speak, his eyes full of confusion.

Xue Tianhan frowned slightly and retorted solemnly, "No, we can't use spiritual power within the confines of the mountain. If we jump from such a high altitude, we will surely die. Moreover, there are ferocious birds watching us. If we jump directly, we will undoubtedly be walking into the tiger's mouth."

"But your method doesn't seem to have any essential difference." Qingluan was still puzzled and shook her head slightly.

"Yeah, I don't understand either. Why do you have to do this, sir?" Madam Green Snake was also confused.

Xue Tianhan's eyes were firm as he explained patiently, "There is a difference.

Over the years, some people must have tried to go down from above, but so far no one has been able to successfully obtain the Qiyun Mountain and River Map, which shows that this road is full of dangers.

The greatest danger was the birds. Once they entered a range where they couldn't use their spiritual power, they would become prey. Furthermore, with no leverage in the air, they were at the mercy of the birds.

My method, at least, won't put anyone in a hopeless position in mid-air. With leverage, we can use our weapons to defend against the birds.

What's more, we can build a cage and hang it from a tripod."

Qingluan nodded thoughtfully, "Well, you've really thought it through. But how do we deal with this material?"

This was the world's tallest peak, towering into the clouds, its height beyond imagination. Furthermore, it had to be higher than the formation range at the summit, so the pillars needed to build the tripod would have to be extremely long. Furthermore, the extreme cold and fierce winds at high altitudes necessitated the use of special materials.

Xue Tianhan nodded slightly and said confidently, "When I was exploring space before, I found some special ores and metals. They are extremely hard and contain special energy. They are perfect for refining super-tall tripods."

After saying that, Xue Tianhan's mind sank into his own chaotic space.

Today, the Chaos Space has added the Youzhou area, making its scope even wider.

Relying on his keen perception of materials, Xue Tianhan quickly moved through the space, accurately selected the required materials, put them into his pocket with a wave of his hand, and then left the space with the materials.

"The materials are ready. Let's start refining without delay." Xue Tianhan said to everyone.

He and Xiaoqi and others quickly started working on refining the tripod.

Xue Tianhan used the principles he learned from the Space Spirit Pearl to guide the spiritual power, allowing the materials to gradually fuse according to a specific structure.

Lady Green Snake and Hu Meiniang controlled the flames, carefully adjusting the temperature to ensure the perfect combination of the ingredients.

Xiao Qi was concentrating on assisting, and together with Xiao Huang and Xiao Hei, they stretched out the material.

The refining process was not smooth. The materials repelled each other and the tripod pillars continued to vibrate violently, almost causing failure.

Xue Tianhan's forehead was covered with sweat, but he gritted his teeth and insisted: "We can't give up, we will definitely succeed."

He kept adjusting the output and fusion rhythm of his spiritual power, and Xiao Qi also assisted him with all his strength. The two of them cooperated well and were in perfect harmony.

After some hard work, the three pillars were finally successfully refined.

They are thousands of feet long, emitting a strange luster, as if containing endless power.

Then everyone worked together and started building according to the direction predicted by Xue Tianhan.

It was a cold and snowy day. Xiaoqi and Qingluan each held one end of a pillar.

The three of them took a deep breath and flew into the sky together.

When they approached the designated position, Xue Tianhan shouted loudly and took the lead in inserting the pillar towards the outside of the mountain.

The powerful impact caused the pillar to embed itself firmly into the mountain with a dull sound. Then, Xiao Qi and Qing Luan followed suit, inserting the pillar into the corresponding position.

The three pillars were firmly inserted into the mountain, and then the top was fixed, and the boom was also fixed.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the boom hanging from the top of the tripod, as if they saw hope for success.

Xue Tianhan was the first to enter the sturdy cage that had been built in advance, followed closely by Xiao Qi and Qing Luan. As for Madam Green Snake, Xue Tianhan temporarily took them into the space.

As Xue Tianhan gently turned the control mechanism, the cage slowly slid down the boom. The cold wind whistled past their ears, the surrounding scenery rapidly receded, and the three people's heartbeats became increasingly rapid.

The moment the cage entered the coverage of the formation, Xue Tianhan clearly felt that the spiritual power in his body was sealed by an invisible force and could not be mobilized at all.

At the same time, a sharp cry pierced the sky, and a group of huge birds swooped down from all directions.

These birds exuded a strange aura, and their sharp claws flashed coldly in the sunlight, like a group of messengers from hell.

"Be careful!" Xue Tianhan shouted and quickly drew the long sword from his waist. Although he could not use spiritual power, his many years of combat experience and superb swordsmanship were still a powerful support.

Not to be outdone, Xiao Qi picked up his Heavenly Sword, his eyes revealing a firmness. Qing Luan used his spear to greet the birds.

The birds fearlessly charged towards the cages. Xue Tianhan wielded his sword, each strike precisely targeting the birds' vital points. The blades collided with the birds' claws, producing a series of crisp sounds.

Xiao Qi cooperated flexibly from the side, using the smallness of the short blade to attack the weak parts of the birds.

Qingluan kept waving his spear, pushing some birds away.

However, there were too many birds, wave after wave, seemingly endless. One of the birds seized the opportunity and swooped down on Xue Tianhan, its sharp claws digging into his throat.

Xue Tianhan dodged to the side and barely avoided the fatal blow, but the bird's claws still left a bloody mark on his shoulder.

"This is not a solution. We must come up with a strategy." Xiao Qi said anxiously.

Xue Tianhan quickly glanced around and suddenly found a protruding rock not far away.

"Let's get closer to that rock. Maybe there will be a turning point there," he shouted.

The three of them worked together, resisting the attacks of the birds while maneuvering the cage towards the rock. After a lot of effort and enduring many attacks, they finally succeeded in reaching the rock.

As soon as he stopped, Xue Tianhan quickly observed the surroundings and found a small cave behind the rock.

"Hurry, let's go into the cave!" He called Xiaoqi and Qingluan.

The three of them quickly jumped out of the cage and ran towards the cave.

The birds refused to give up and kept chasing after it.

Just as they were about to enter the cave, a huge bird swooped down from the sky, trying to block their way.

Xue Tianhan turned around suddenly and threw the long sword in his hand at the bird with all his strength. The long sword pierced the bird's chest with a whistling sound.

The bird let out a scream and fell heavily to the ground, blocking the attack of the other birds for a moment.

Taking advantage of this gap, Xue Tianhan, Xiao Qi, and Qing Luan successfully hid in the cave. The birds circled outside the cave for a long time, chirping unwillingly, but they still didn't dare to enter...

As soon as the three of them hid in the cave, Xue Tianhan released Lady Green Snake, Hu Meiniang, Xiao Hei and Xiao Huang from the space.

The light in the cave was dim, and everyone sat together in a solemn atmosphere.

"There are too many of these damn birds. We have no way of forcing our way in." Xiao Qi's face was filled with anxiety, and the sword in his hand was still stained with the blood of birds.

Madam Green Snake frowned and thought, "These birds are guarding here, they must be protecting something, maybe it's related to the Qiyun Mountain and River Map."

Hu Meiniang nodded slightly and added, "And since this cave exists, it might also be hiding a secret."

Xue Tianhan glanced around the cave and spoke slowly, "Let's look for clues in this cave first to see if we can find a way to break the siege of the birds."

Everyone took action immediately. Lady Green Snake and Hu Meiniang carefully examined the walls of the cave, hoping to find hidden mechanisms or text.

Xiao Hei and Xiao Huang explored the depths of the cave, leaving no corner untouched. Xue Tianhan and Xiao Qi, alert to the movements of birds outside the cave, also assisted in the search for clues.

Suddenly, Hu Meiniang shouted in surprise: "Come and see, there are strange symbols here!"

Everyone quickly gathered around and saw some ancient symbols carved on the walls of the cave. These symbols emitted a faint light, as if telling a forgotten history.

Xue Tianhan stared at the symbol, lost in thought. After a moment, he said excitedly, "I've seen similar symbols in the array formation tradition. This might be an ancient sealing method. Perhaps we can use this method to deal with birds."

Qingluan asked doubtfully, "But how do we use this sealing method?"

Xiao Qi's eyes lit up, and he pointed to the pattern below the symbol and said, "Look, these patterns seem to be guiding us to find specific items. Maybe if we collect these items, we can activate the seal."

Everyone followed Xiao Qi's instructions and found that the pattern depicted several strange objects, some of which looked like glowing stones, and some looked like metals with unique shapes.

"Whatever, let's give it a try." Xue Tianhan said decisively, "Let's split up and search for these items near this cave."
