Game Cultivation World: I'm really playing games

"Old Wang, you've already reached the Nascent Soul stage, have you figured out a way to return to the real world?" Feng Yi asked anxiously.

Wang Fuxi sighed helplessly, spread his hands and said, "I know you're eager to complete the mission. My wife is still over there, and I'm even more anxious than you. But you also know that I'm only at the Nascent Soul stage. You're at the Tribulation Transcending stage and there's nothing I can do. What can I do? I'll have to wait until I recover to the Tribulation Transcending stage before I can see what happens."

Feng Yi shook her head in disappointment. "It seems I underestimated things."

Xiao Qi quickly stepped forward to comfort her: "Sister Feng, don't worry, this can't be rushed. The most urgent thing is to unify the country as soon as possible, so that we can better deal with foreign forces and ancient demons."

Xue Tianhan nodded in agreement: "Xiao Qi is right. Although we beat up the foreign players, they will definitely come back, and the longer it goes on, the more they will have. If we haven't achieved unification, we will definitely suffer in the future."

Just then, a guard from Tianfeng Pavilion rushed in to report: "My lords, there is an old man with white hair at the gate who claims to be the vice leader of the Ancient Cultivator Alliance. However, there is no trace of cultivation on this person, so we suspected he was a fraud and stopped him. But he then said that he is Master Xiaoqi's master and insisted on coming in."

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback.

Xue Tianhan frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said, "The Ancient Cultivator Alliance has always been mysterious. How could their vice leader show no fluctuation in cultivation level? There must be something wrong here. Could it be that he used a special technique to conceal his cultivation level, or some kind of particularly sophisticated disguise?"

Everyone nodded in agreement, agreeing with Xue Tianhan's reasoning.

When Xiaoqi heard the guard say that the other person was her master, her body trembled violently, and a hint of disbelief flashed in her eyes for a moment, but soon, a hint of expectation quietly emerged. Her lips trembled slightly, and she murmured softly, "Master... is it really you? But weren't you already..."

Xue Tianhan looked at Xiaoqi, patted her shoulder, and gently comforted her, "Xiaoqi, don't panic, let's go and see together. Whether it's true or false, we have to find out."

Xiao Qi took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and walked towards the entrance of Tianfeng Pavilion with Xue Tianhan and the others. Along the way, Xiao Qi's heart pounded faster and faster, both hoping to see her master again and fearing that this was just a cruel deception.

Upon arriving at the door, one sees an elderly man with white hair, dressed in simple white clothes. He has a haggard face and a thin frame, but his eyes reveal a tenacious spirit.

The moment Xue Tianhan saw the old man, he knew that this old man must be Ling Xuzi, Xiao Qi's master, because he could see through the old man's cultivation level, which was obviously at the peak of the Tribulation Transcending stage, the same realm as the previous Xuanfeng Zhenren.

When the old man saw Xiao Qi, his eyes lit up, and his voice trembled with excitement: "Xiao Qi, my apprentice, are you surprised to see your master!"

Xiao Qi stood there, stunned, looking the old man up and down, her mind in turmoil. The person in front of her looked exactly like her master in her memories, but she still couldn't believe it was real.

With a sob in her voice, she asked, "You...you are really Master? Aren't you already..."

With tears glistening in his eyes, Ling Xuzi slowly said, "Little Seven, when Master failed his tribulation, he was indeed about to perish completely. It was the leader of the Ancient Cultivator Alliance who suddenly appeared and used a very mysterious spell to save a wisp of my soul."

Afterwards, in a secluded place within the Ancient Cultivation Alliance, I used the power of a special spiritual vein there, expended countless precious spiritual materials, and overcame numerous hardships and dangers to finally reshape my physical body.

During this time, several elders in the alliance also gave me careful guidance and helped me stabilize my soul.

And so, it took a long time before they finally recovered to the Great Perfection of the Tribulation Transcending Realm. However, since we are not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao, we rarely appear before the world.

Everyone was so shocked by Ling Xuzi's words that they couldn't close their mouths.

Xue Tianhan frowned, pondering to himself: Just who is the leader of this Ancient Cultivator Alliance? How could he possess such formidable abilities?

He looked at Ling Xuzi and asked seriously, "Senior, as far as I know, the Ancient Cultivator Alliance has always been indifferent to worldly affairs, focusing solely on ascension. Why would the Alliance Leader save you? Do you know each other?"

Ling Xuzi sighed and said, "I'm not too sure about that either, and I didn't know our alliance leader before. I only know that our alliance leader has a particularly large plan, and saving me should be part of his plan. Besides, our Ancient Cultivator Alliance has also noticed that this world is facing a great crisis. The signs of the ancient demon god's resurgence are becoming more and more obvious, and foreign forces are also secretly causing trouble."

Xue Tianhan pressed on, "Senior, do you know roughly what level of strength your alliance leader possesses? What was his style of doing things in the past? This is especially important for us to assess the current situation."

Ling Xuzi shook his head. "The Alliance Leader's strength is unfathomable. He rarely appears in the Alliance and acts in a very mysterious way. I don't know much about him either, but it's certain that he is stronger than me."

Xue Tianhan nodded slightly, lost in thought: Ling Xuzi has already reached the peak of the Tribulation Transcending stage, so wouldn't the leader of the Ancient Cultivator Alliance have become an immortal? But wasn't it said that the path to immortality was cut off? How did he manage to do it?

Upon hearing this, Xiaoqi's doubts gradually dissipated, replaced by gratitude and determination. She stepped forward, tightly grasped the old man's hand, and cried, "Master, no matter what, it's so good to see you again."

Xue Tianhan thought for a moment and said, "In that case, senior, please come into the pavilion with us and we can have a detailed discussion. The situation is too complicated right now, and we need to discuss it carefully."

Everyone returned to Tianfeng Pavilion and took their seats according to their respective roles as guests and hosts.

Ling Xuzi gave a detailed account of the current situation of the Ancient Cultivator Alliance, as well as the intelligence they possessed regarding ancient demon gods and foreign forces.

It turns out that although the Ancient Cultivation Alliance rarely appears in public, they still pay close attention to the outside world and have a dedicated intelligence network.

"The intelligence we've gathered so far indicates that the aura of the ancient demon god is growing stronger. In a dark abyss in the far north, strange demonic light frequently flickers, suggesting that the demon god's seal is weakening. Furthermore, foreign powers, in order to gain the help of the remnants of the demonic path, have even allowed them to build altars to collect blood essence," Ling Xuzi said solemnly.

"What specific countermeasures does the Ancient Cultivator Alliance have now?" Xue Tianhan looked at Ling Xuzi, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Ling Xuzi frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said, "Some elders within the Ancient Cultivator Alliance have emerged from seclusion one after another. At the same time, we have strengthened intelligence gathering, and will immediately send a message to headquarters if we discover any new movements by demon gods or foreign forces."

As for finding an artifact capable of subduing the demon god, we dispatched several elders, each leading elite troops, to explore ancient ruins recorded in ancient texts as potential sites where such artifacts might be found.

A hint of curiosity flashed in Xiao Qi's eyes as she asked, "A divine artifact? Master, what kind of divine artifact could subdue an ancient demon god?"

The old man slowly shook his head. "I don't know exactly what kind of artifact it is. I've only heard that deep within this world, there are several ancient artifacts with world-destroying power. If we could gather them all, we might be able to fight against the demon god. But these artifacts have been lost for so long, they're no easy task to find."

Wang Fuxi had been listening silently, but then suddenly spoke up: "No matter what, we can't just wait around. Now that we know about this divine artifact, let's join the search. The more strength we have, the more hope we have."

Feng nodded in agreement, "That's right, and we also have some understanding of this world, so we might be able to help."

Xue Tianhan pondered for a moment and said, "The most urgent task is for us to integrate the forces from all sides. Our forces, the Ancient Cultivator Alliance, and those rogue cultivators who are willing to join us in fighting against evil. Xiao Qi, you talk to your master first, and Lao Wang, Feng Yi, and I will make the arrangements."

With tears in her eyes, Xiao Qi looked at Xue Tianhan gratefully. "Thank you everyone. Master, let's find a quiet place. I have so much to tell you."

Ling Xuzi looked at Xiao Qi with affection and patted her hand. "Alright, alright, my good disciple, let's have a good chat."

After Xue Tianhan, Wang Fuxi, and Feng Yi left the room, they began to get busy.

Meanwhile, Xiao Qi and her master, Ling Xuzi, reminisced about their past in the room. Xiao Qi recounted her experiences since arriving in this world, from her initial confusion and helplessness to her gradual growth into a strong and independent individual. Ling Xuzi listened, sometimes smiling with satisfaction, sometimes feeling heartache for Xiao Qi's experiences.

“Master, I miss you so much. I’ve encountered many difficulties since you left, but I’ve never given up. I know you’re watching over me from heaven and would definitely want me to be strong,” Xiao Qi whispered, leaning against Ling Xuzi’s chest.

Ling Xuzi stroked Xiao Qi's hair and said with emotion, "My good disciple, you've grown up. Your master has returned this time to face this crisis with you. We will definitely defeat evil and protect this world."

Just as everyone was busily preparing for the upcoming battle, foreign forces seemed to have noticed their actions. In a dark corner, several mysterious figures were sitting together, discussing how to deal with the situation.

“There’s been a lot of activity in China lately, and the Ancient Cultivator Alliance has become more active. Our informants within their alliance have reported that they seem to be looking for something. After making inquiries, we learned that they are looking for an artifact that can restrain the Demon God. This won’t do; we have to find a way to stop them, or our plan will be ruined,” said a man with a hoarse voice.

“That’s right, and we need to speed up the process of the Demon God’s resurrection. Increase the supply of blood energy to the sealed land. Once the Demon God is fully awakened, this world will be ours.” Another person chimed in.

“I have a bold idea. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. As far as I know, China is not a monolithic entity. For example, Shi Potianjing and others were imprisoned by Feng Yi of Tianfeng Pavilion. We can unite with them to fight against Tianfeng Pavilion and Kunling Sect.” Another mysterious person spoke up.

"Alright, let's leave this to our great Japan. Our long-term plans are finally paying off." A sinister smile spread across the Japanese ninja's face; a far greater conspiracy was brewing...
