Cultivation Kill

"Those who need to enter the secret realm, please line up. There are ten entrances. Please choose your entrance number."

The person in charge of the Ninety-Nine Cities Secret Realm was a middle-aged male cultivator in the Core Formation stage, who was standing in mid-air, looking down at everyone.

"Anyone interested in purchasing an initial identity for the Immortal Cultivation Killing Secret Realm can come to me." Below the person in charge was a beautiful female cultivator with peach-blossom cheeks and a flame-like mole between her eyebrows, whether she had it done herself or was born with it was unclear.

"You can choose your identity?" Shen Zige was immediately intrigued upon hearing this, and walked towards the female cultivator to see what was going on.

Just then, ten Spirit Condensation cultivators arrived together as if by prior arrangement. Two of them held portraits in their hands. After seeing Shen Zige, they glanced at the portraits to confirm their identity, then tore them up and quietly followed Shen Zige.

"He went to buy an identity, what should we do?" someone asked.

"Let him buy whatever he wants. There are only three identities: good guy, killer, and neutral," someone replied. "We don't have a thousand spirit stones, so there's no need for us to waste our money."

Shen Zige approached the female cultivator: "How do I purchase an identity?"

"You can only buy three identities: good guy, killer, and neutral."

The beautiful female cultivator spoke in a gentle voice. After all, coming here was like giving away spirit stones, so she had to be polite and not scare the other party away.

"Does the person in charge agree?" Shen Zige asked, glancing up at the sky.

"It's alright, he took the majority of the share." The female cultivator explained patiently, "The Star Realm Company gives the person in charge and the assistant some authority, which means that the person in charge and the person in charge's assistant can give the participants of the Immortal Cultivation Kill excellent scores. The participants who receive excellent scores can choose their identity when entering the Immortal Cultivation Kill Secret Realm."

"Oh, so it's a one-time purchase for lifetime use?" Shen Zige continued to ask.

“The outstanding participants are different every year. After all, the people who participate are different every year. Some people are outstanding this year, but they may not be outstanding next year,” the female cultivator replied.

Shen Zige thought to herself that this was just their high-sounding excuse, meaning that they had to pay money every year. As long as they paid spirit stones, they would be considered excellent!

"Do you want to buy it?" the female cultivator asked. "It costs 1,200 spirit stones in other cities, but I'm giving you a discount. Life is priceless, and we don't have many excellent spots available."

“Okay, I’ll buy it.” Shen Zige handed over the spirit stone savings card that Zhao Shi had given him. “There are 1,500 spirit stones in it, and the password is six eights.”

The female cultivator took the spirit stone savings card, summoned her smartwatch, swiped it, entered the password, transferred out one thousand spirit stones, and then threw the card back to Shen Zige.

The person in charge, who had been standing in mid-air, landed, summoned his smartwatch, operated it with the female cultivator, and then told Shen Zige that it was done and he could now choose his identity when entering the secret realm.

The image of a Core Formation cultivator that Shen Zige held in high esteem crumbled at this moment.

However, Shen Zige didn't say anything. He wasn't a saint, and in some ways, he was no different from the two of them.

Shen Zige walked toward the entrance to the fifth secret realm.

The ten people following behind also headed towards the fifth entrance of the secret realm.

Shen Zige turned and headed towards the seventh entrance of the secret realm, and the ten people behind her immediately turned as well.

"Aimed at me?"

Shen Zige understood; these people were definitely targeting him.

He saw a few people chatting and waiting for someone not far away, so he walked over.

"Are you still short of people?" Shen Zige asked the group of people chatting.

“We…” One of the female cultivators didn’t know what to say. If Shen Zige wanted to join the queue, could they stop her?

Seeing this, Shen Zige went to the seventh entrance and started queuing at the Secret Realm Stone.

The queue shows that there are already seven people in line.

"You six, get out of the queue right now, or you'll offend the Wuding Merchant Alliance and the Zhenqi Sect. Even if you manage to leave the secret realm alive, you'll never be able to move an inch in the future!" threatened the ten people following behind Shen Zige.

The six people chatting were startled and quickly went to the Secret Realm Stone to cancel the queue.

Each time a dungeon opens, you have one chance to cancel the queue; you cannot cancel a second time.

Shen Zige was helpless. There weren't many people around, and there weren't any teams with eight players missing one. If he canceled, these people could threaten others and end up queuing with him anyway, so it was better to enter the secret realm sooner.

After waiting a while, seeing that Shen Zige hadn't canceled, the ten people discussed it and tried flipping a coin and playing rock-paper-scissors. In the end, two people happily withdrew, while the remaining eight angrily went over to click to join the queue.

"Matching complete. You are about to enter the Spirit Condensation Immortal Cultivation Secret Realm." Shen Zige's smartwatch announced. "Please note that the Spirit Condensation Secret Realm is slightly different from that of mortals. Please explore carefully."

The eight-member revenge alliance and Shen Zige were enveloped in a ball of white light and flew towards the secret realm map.

"We have detected that you are an outstanding candidate from the Star Realm Company of Ninety-Nine Cities, so you can choose an initial identity. You can only choose one of the three main identities." A mechanical voice entered Shen Zige's ears.

"I choose the neutral identity." Shen Zige analyzed the big data of the cultivation game and concluded that neutrality is the most suitable identity for solo combat and the strongest identity, but it is also the identity with the lowest win rate because there is only one person.

"Your identity is the Masked One, neutral. Your identity trait is that you can choose whether to kill in each round. If you make a move, you will be voted out after the meeting. If you do not make a move in this round, you will be immune to the vote."

The nine people arrived above the forest.

"The identities of the players in this round are: flyer, knife returner, singer, escort, changer, verifier, melter, sky watcher, and masked player."

"Please note that in one minute, everyone will be randomly assigned to any location in the forest!"

As soon as the Secret Realm System finished speaking, the crowd above began to discuss it animatedly.

"Everyone, please make sure you use your aliases so you don't make a mistake later in the secret realm."

"The four members of the True Weapon Sect are Avengers One to Four, while those of the Top of the World Alliance are Avengers Five to Eight."

"Yes, we're all avengers, seeking revenge against Shen Zige. He's the one who ruined us, forcing us into this damned cultivation-killing secret realm game!"

Shen Zige remained silent.

"Countdown—three, two, one, go!"

Nine beams of white light appeared in the secret forest.

Shen Zige appeared behind a birch tree. Birch trees are mostly straight, unlike other trees where the leaves droop low, making it difficult for people to hide and requiring the skill to use line of sight.

The ground was covered with fallen leaves, which had turned yellow and felt soft underfoot, making a rustling sound that was easy to notice.

Shen Zige tried to walk on tiptoe, but found it was useless unless he wanted to be as slow as a tortoise, which would mean being killed by the assassin; he should just be a rabbit, at least he could run fast and agile, and he wouldn't have to care about the noise. There are always gains and losses!

Two minutes later, Shen Zige left the starting point.

"Who?"

A hoarse voice sounded.

Shen Zige quickly hid behind a tree. To her right stood a man with a beard, holding a pipe, who looked like a formidable opponent.

“You are Shen Zige.” The bearded man with the pipe immediately said, “If you are from the True Artifact Sect, you will definitely greet me. Everyone at the top knows me and will not hide.”

This guy is a master of deduction, so even though Shen Zige was hiding behind a tree, he was still able to figure out her identity.

Shen Zige summoned the deadly blade bestowed upon her by her identity, ran from one tree to another behind a tree, circling around her opponent to avoid their gaze.

He discovered that physical speed was reduced within the secret realm, which should be the same for everyone, but agility and divine sense remained!

The man with the pipe only heard the sound but didn't see the person. He seemed to guess what Shen Zige was going to do, his pupils contracted, and he hurriedly fled towards the center of the woods!

"Unfortunately, it's too late!"

Shen Zige leaped out from behind the tree, using the Myriad Thoughts Technique to control her mind, instantly immobilizing the pipe-smoking man for a second. Then, a flash of light appeared, and the pipe-smoking man was immediately killed!

A smartwatch flashing a bright light and a wooden sign fell to the ground at the same time.

Shen Zige picked up the wooden plaque, which read "Identity Exchange Plaque." She hadn't expected this guy to have such a good thing!

So the man with the pipe guessed that Shen Zige had a knife, and then pretended to run away to lure Shen Zige over. At the moment of getting close, he planned to exchange his identity token with Shen Zige and then kill her!

So insidious!

Fortunately, divine sense could still be used in this secret realm without being weakened; otherwise, Shen Zige would have been unable to control the other party and would have died directly in the secret realm.
