Lucky billion players, you've never seen one before / I can accumulate my own luck

If someone suddenly travels back to ancient times and possesses great power... what would that person do?

The conflict between the transmigrators and the native inhabitants of the world... Interesting.

Fan Xiao sighed inwardly. It seemed that people like him, with great personalities and noble virtues, who could restrain themselves in any world, were extremely rare!

He asked, "Surely this kind of shameless behavior isn't only done by outsiders?"

"That's...that's true."

Youbai did not deny it: "Within Node C, there are also quite a few people who engage in shameless acts such as womanizing, and some female disciples of the Hehuan Sect also go out and seduce men..."

"There's also the Hehuan Sect?" Fan Xiao asked.

Youbai: "..."

"I was just asking," Fan Xiao said, staring into Youbai's eyes, "Xiaobai, why did you stop talking?"

"..."

Youbai swallowed silently, then smiled gently and said, "Boss, it's normal for the Hehuan Sect to exist. The C-node's instance cluster rules make cultivation possible. It's a complete system that has been integrated into the C-node's conceptual domain, becoming a fundamental rule like gravity."

"This system is all-encompassing. Different people have different understandings of cultivation, which has led to the emergence of various cultivation styles, techniques, supernatural powers, and so on. The Hehuan Sect cultivates the way of Yin and Yang complementarity, and it is a relatively common sect in Node C, existing in both the mortal realm and the spiritual realm."

"Besides the Hehuan Sect, there are some righteous sects that only accept female disciples. On the surface, they are very righteous, but in reality, they are just dirty matchmaking agencies. They use women to facilitate all sorts of shady transactions for the powerful."

"Who asked you that?" Fan Xiao said speechlessly, "I wanted you to continue with the topic we were just discussing."

"..."

Youbai said, "In short, there are quite a few shameless people like this among the locals of Node C, but this involves the issue of proportion."

"These kinds of people in the C node are almost insignificant when viewed from the perspective of the entire C node."

"But most of the players who came from node A early in the morning were causing trouble, so... that's where the hostility came from."

"Hmm...that's about what I guessed." Fan Xiao nodded: "With this kind of background...it would definitely be better to change clothes."

Upon hearing this, Makoto didn't say anything.

In fact, she only needed to disguise herself slightly, and even a super player wouldn't be able to tell the true identities of Fan Xiao and the others.

However, she guessed that her master might be interested in her and the Silent Demon's ancient costume, so she remained silent.

She was also interested in her master's period costume.

The Kunlun Mirror must be the same in this respect.

As for her appearance... when she encounters a powerful being, she will slightly disguise her appearance for her master, herself, and the Kunlun Mirror.

The master has become so famous in node D05 that he must have caught the attention of the powerful figures in other nodes. Although node C doesn't pay much attention to or have much interest in the affairs of other nodes, it's impossible for the major forces not to investigate such a significant matter.

Although Fan Xiao didn't mention this task to her, she naturally couldn't be so passive as to wait for her master to bring it up before doing anything.

A tool that cannot proactively share its owner's burdens cannot be considered a good tool.

Just wait, one day, even the Kunlun Mirror will have to take a backseat to her!

Any prop that doesn't actively move will be trampled under her feet!

Youbai continued, "Boss, my hometown and Miss's hometown are in the C04-023 section, but that's the standard name in the Evolution game."

“At node C, most nodes and partitions are connected, and the boundaries between partitions are very blurred. Partition 023 is ruled by the Great Xia Immortal Dynasty, which has many vassal states under it. The Great Xia Immortal Dynasty is one of the imperial powers under the Heavenly Sword Sect.”

"Miss is a member of the Heavenly Sword Sect. Although Miss is still young and her cultivation is not high, only at the Nascent Soul stage, Miss has outstanding spiritual root aptitude. She possesses spiritual energy such as 'Immortal Slaying Sword Intent' that points directly to the Great Dao of the Sword. She also holds an A-level dungeon and has joined the Heavenly Sword Sect's secret realm cluster. Therefore... Miss is considered one of the elders of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and her status is very noble."

Fan Xiao: "..."

"Replicating on node C is very different from replicating on other nodes."

Youbai continued, "Because the C-node instances form a cluster, they have a lot of autonomy in terms of permissions. The instance BOSS is either the founder of a sect or holds an important position in a major sect. Most players are disciples of sects... Therefore, there is no life-or-death conflict between the instance BOSS and the players."

"Over a long period of development, dungeons have gradually evolved into secret realm trials, and dungeon bosses are called secret realm lords. Evolution Games has also adjusted the dungeon style according to the style of C node."

"The current Secret Realm Trials have basically deviated from normal dungeon games. Even the dungeon quests are decided on the spot by the Lord of the Secret Realm, and there is no punishment for not completing them. The rewards for players are not only items and potions, but also treasures such as spiritual herbs, medicines and treasures that are of great benefit to cultivation in the Secret Realm."

"Of course, once the secret realm opens, the danger is still very high. Most of the danger comes from the secret realm itself—this is the bottom line of the evolution game. Dungeons will always be dangerous for players, and this will never change. A small part of the danger comes from the fighting between those who enter the secret realm. Those who can enter the secret realm are not just players; in fact, players can only be considered a minority."

"This is roughly the situation of replicas under node C."

Fan Xiao: "..."

Ah, this... it really does seem like a fantasy novel.

Chapter 822 Foundation Establishment Seniors, Golden Core Ancestors, Nascent Soul Monsters

"This train is about to arrive at its final destination. All passengers are requested to prepare to disembark in advance."

As the announcement came on, the train began to slow down.

Fan Xiao and the others stopped chatting and looked out the window.

The pitch-black space and the glowing tracks... these scenes soon came to an end. After passing through a huge, vortex-shaped passage, the train arrived at... ruins.

Yes, a ruin.

The original station is gone, and the surrounding land is scorched and pitted, as if it has just been ravaged by war. Further ahead are ruins, fragments of modern buildings and fragments of ancient buildings, mixed together, giving people a first impression full of absurdity.

This is... the node station has been destroyed?

Fan Xiao was surprised, but after recalling what Xiao Na had told him before, he quickly calmed down—Node C was trying to become independent!

It's not just a particular partition or node that's causing trouble; the entire C-spacetime convergence point is in an uproar. The news has already spread quite a bit, so this node must be very lively right now.

The node station has become a ruin... It seems that he arrived a little late because the forging of S-rank items took a long time.

Just then, thirteen figures exuding powerful auras flew in from afar, including young men, old men, and beautiful young women.

The thirteen people surrounded the node train carrying Fan Xiao and the others, forming a protective array with their hands to envelop the surrounding area.

After sensing the situation, a cold-faced man said to the others, "Aside from a few A-level players, there are no troublesome ones. Oh, and there's also a Golden Core cultivator, who should be a native who returned from outside."

Upon hearing this, several people immediately sneered, "Another bunch of fat sheep have arrived."

"Hehe, I knew it was right to stay here, this is the fourth wave already."

"Those powerful figures arrived half a month ago. It seems that those who came later were all unsuspecting people who participated in the secret realm. It's actually a boon for us."

"Stop talking nonsense and let's get to the procedure."

"That Golden Core girl is quite nice; I'll take this furnace cauldron."

"Listen up, you people inside! Leave behind your belongings and money, and we might spare your lives; otherwise..."

"..."

Inside the train.

Fan Xiao looked at Youbai and said, "Your C node style is... quite fierce."

"..." Youbai blushed slightly and said, "Boss, this isn't usually the case. Now that the node station has been destroyed... I don't know what happened. These people... judging from their auras, most of them are at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm, and two of them are at the Divine Transformation Realm. In the mortal realm, they would be considered to be at the pinnacle of existence."

"They probably wanted to take advantage of the chaos and fish in troubled waters."

Jingjing suddenly spoke up.

She hadn't said a word the whole way, though she'd been wanting to speak for a while.

She had just thought of a fitting response for the current situation, and quickly said it to avoid missing the opportunity again.

"Don't worry, boss, I'll take care of them," Youbai said. "Once we reach Node C, I'll be able to use many of my methods. Dealing with the Nascent Soul and Divine Transformation cultivators in the mortal realm will be quite simple. Moreover, we probably won't even need to lift a finger; just revealing my identity will be enough to scare them away..."

Just then, the Kunlun Mirror made its move.

She pulled the hairpin out of her hair and threw it out the window.

The hairpin transformed into a streak of light, piercing through time and space to reach mid-air. In less than an instant, it pierced the foreheads of thirteen people, shattering their conceptual bodies. After circling around once, it pierced through time and space again to return to the carriage and was inserted back into Kunlun's hair.

Kunlun nodded in satisfaction, then looked up at Fan Xiao, tilting his head slightly and conveying his emotions with his eyes—praise me quickly.

Fan Xiao patted her head, and Kunlun squinted her eyes, clearly enjoying it, just like a cat.

"..."

Youbai swallowed back the words she was about to say, her gaze falling on the hairpin in Kunlun Lens's hair... She had initially thought it was just an ordinary hairpin, but she hadn't expected...

Fan Xiao noticed You Bai's gaze and said, "This is the S-rank item 'Star Oath'."

Youbai: "..."

"Master did well to kill him!"

Kunlun was the one who killed him, but Zhenzhi Loli cheered for Fan Xiao: "A bunch of scumbag robbers who stole your things! They even dared to rob you, Master! They really don't know their place! It's a reward for them to die under the penetration of the 'Star Oath'."

"What's the situation now?" Fan Xiao asked Xiao Zhen.

“Master, this area is a special zone designated by Node C to connect spacetime trains from other nodes. This is the only area in Node C with a station; all other travel is done via teleportation arrays.”

"Now that node C is going independent, the first thing to be affected by this chaos is this node station, which was destroyed almost immediately."

"The game company and other forces sent investigation teams here half a month ago. The major forces have already entered the scene. The players who are here now are all unsuspecting dungeon... or rather, secret realm participants."

"A group of scum in the mortal realm seized this opportunity, gathered here, and began to commit robbery and murder for money."

"This is their fourth time. The first three times, after robbing, they chose to kill to silence the witnesses and then used the souls of their victims to refine and store in the Myriad Souls Banner. Master, you are doing this to uphold justice and punish evil!"

Upon hearing this, Kunlun Mirror glanced at Xiao Zhen a few times, using his eyes to remind her that she was the one who killed the person.

Xiao Zhen could understand it, but chose to ignore it.

"Tsk... It's true what they say, if you don't work hard at cultivation, you'll end up as brothers in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner."

After a moment of reflection, Fan Xiao asked, "Only four trains have come in the past few days?"

"Quite a few have arrived, but they're not the only ones robbing. They also play it by ear; they basically won't attack trains with many A-level players or S-level players," Xiao Zhen replied. "The Nascent Soul cultivators at node C are roughly equivalent to an A-level player with fully equipped A-level items. They don't dare to attack powerful players either..."

While Xiao Zhen was explaining the situation to Fan Xiao, the other passengers on the train had already recovered from the unexpected turn of events.

Upon seeing that all thirteen attackers had been wiped out in an instant, the players inside the vehicle were not relieved, but rather... extremely wary.

After waiting a few seconds and finding nothing new, all the players ran away from the train and quickly disappeared into the ruins.

After Xiaozhen finished her story, the train conductor had already arranged for the train to return.

Fan Xiao and the others got out of the car and, guided by Youbai, headed to the nearest teleportation array.

Before leaving, Fan Xiao had Xiao Zhen search the bodies of the thirteen dead people, and as a result... they actually found quite a few storage bags.

The storage bag has a seal created by a special force, but how could such a seal stop his "Tales of Heaven and Earth"?

Unfortunately, apart from some cultivation techniques, everything else inside was stuff he couldn't understand.

On the other side, Youbai was somewhat dazed the whole way.

It was probably the chaos caused by node C that completely exceeded her expectations.

Incidentally... after the train passed through the vortex and arrived at node C, Youbai immediately recovered his Golden Core stage cultivation.

The "Golden Core Girl Furnace" that the bandits mentioned earlier was referring to her... Hmm, it fits Fan Xiao's stereotype of the Xianxia world.

Is there some kind of magical technique in this world that allows one to replenish yang energy by absorbing yin energy?

He didn't mean anything by it.

He was simply curious.

Of course, besides cultivation techniques, he was also curious about the rules of the secret realm clusters in this world... oh, I should use the name of this world—the laws of immortality.

The laws of immortality have long been deeply integrated into the conceptual realm of node C. Driven by these laws, most of node C is covered by spiritual energy, which is the foundation upon which humans are able to cultivate.

"Spiritual energy."

Fan Xiao amplified his "Eye of Truth" with "Quantum Immortality" and soon saw the so-called spiritual energy—in his vision, the spiritual energy appeared bluish-white in the conceptual realm.

The next second, he activated the S-rank item "Ring of Aether," which activated all phenomena and gathered some of the surrounding spiritual energy into his palm.

The fluctuations in spiritual energy caught Youbai's attention.

After seeing the ball of spiritual energy in Fan Xiao's hand, Youbai asked, "Boss, are you interested in cultivating immortality? Although it can't be used outside of the C node, this power is still quite strong inside the C node."

After a pause, she suggested, "If you wish to cultivate, Boss, once we return to the Beilin Yu family and meet Miss, I will suggest to her that we find you some advanced cultivation techniques suitable for you."

She didn't mention the issue of spiritual root aptitude.

Because it's meaningless.

Her boss can have whatever spiritual root talent he wants.
