Chapter 262: Descendants of the Eight Immortals!
25th floor of the Tower of Seals.
On a flat plain, a player wearing a black robe was lying here, basking in the sunshine with hands clasped over their head.
"Old Ye, why haven’t I seen you on the front line recently? It feels like you haven’t been on the front line since the last battle with Fenrir."
"Is there a situation with Dragon?"
"Yes, another laboratory has been found."
"About what?"
"It has nothing to do with you."
"You’re saying this, which laboratory has anything to do with me?"
"There will be."
"Here we go again, I admire your ability to hold back from asking everything."
"Used to it."
Ye Qiu lay on the grass looking at the blue sky, and in the blink of an eye, seven years had passed since the game began.
Seven years, huh…
"By the way, Lao Chen, I have to tell you something. When fighting Fenrir, I used the last chance to use Master of the Mist."
Jiang Chen looked up at the words spoken. "So, shall we play against Him next time?"
"It’s no use. At this point, the help of Master of the Mist is not of much use to me anymore," Ye Qiu said, slowly closing his eyes.
"I have many control skills. Although Master of the Mist is a strong control, the damage is limited. He is no longer important."
"That’s right, I want to go meet that person, and I want you to accompany me on the journey."
Jiang Chen pondered, "Who do you mean by that person, a demon, an ancient ruler, or the Lord of Elements?"
Ye Qiu said, "Master of Heaven."
Jiang Chen suddenly opened his eyes wide, "You are seriously ill. Do you know how many soul levels you lose when you die once?"
Ye Qiu also opened his eyes wide, "I know, but do you know who the Guardian of this level is?"
"This level reminds me of the fourth level back then. Just like this one, everything seems empty on the surface because everything is underground."
"The underground of this level connects to hell. We searched all over hell but didn’t find the Guardian, and there’s nothing on the surface either."
"Do you know what the 25th level represents? Every 5 levels is a major checkpoint."
"In the past, each major checkpoint used to have many bosses, making it increasingly difficult to conquer."
"But after searching around, what did we find? Just some small demons in hell, not even a decent elite monster."
"Doesn’t this already explain the issue?"
"In the past when we encountered this kind of situation, guess what happened?"
Jiang Chen sat up and said, "Dragon Kangong, Burning Legion, Fleshbreaker, Cthulhu…"
"If the fifth level is not a multi-boss mode, there are usually two explanations."
"One is that this level may not need to be defeated, perhaps by decoding or other means."
"The other situation is that this level has a very powerful boss, so strong that there is no need for other bosses on this level."
Ye Qiu also sat up and said, "Yeah, we have encountered this kind of situation before."
"So just in case, I think it’s best to have a contingency plan."
After the players cleared the 21st level, a huge mountain appeared in front of them as the external map continued to expand.
This mountain led to the sky and was called the God Road by the local NPCs.
People say if you reach the mountain top, you can talk to the gods in the sky.
Actually, the things in the sky are not gods at all, they are the most powerful Master of Heaven among the nine Lords of Elements.
From past experiences, the Lords of Elements have different personalities; some are friendly towards humans, while some dislike humans.
The Master of Heaven belongs to the type that dislikes humans.
Humans climb the mountain to meet Him, but He never bothers with these weak humans.
A player climbed all the way to the mountain top, only to be mercilessly crushed by the unfeeling atmosphere.
Unlike the Master of the Mist, the Master of Heaven is quite difficult to communicate with, especially since the players do not understand Ancient God Language.
Ye Qiu also went once, but his fate was not any better than others.
He also perished.
But at least he managed to say a few words.
This made him realize that the Master of Heaven doesn’t like playing with humans, but the feeling hasn’t turned into dislike or hatred yet.
The one who truly dislikes humans and players is the Lord of the Earth.
So far, the player has encountered a total of six Lords of Elements, except for the Master of the Sea and the Lord of the Mountain.
But other players still don’t understand the purpose of these Lords of Elements.
They can’t provide anything to the players, can’t help them, can’t be attacked, and can’t be killed.
Such beings continue to puzzle people since they were designed.
The nine Lords of Elements surely weren’t intentionally designed to disgust the players, right?
Ye Qiu doesn’t know much about this, but he knows one thing – the Lords of Elements can help players if needed.
As long as you please them, they will help you solve your problems.
This seems to be the entire purpose of their existence.
But Ye Qiu thought it shouldn’t be just that because in a past life, there was a player who successfully tamed a Lord of Elements.
That player reincarnated into an elven tribe, where the Lord of the Forest was tamed and became his mount or pet.
The specific conditions and methods are unclear to Ye Qiu.
Over the years, he has also been trying to tame the Master of the Mist, but unfortunately, there has been no success as the Master of the Mist refuses to submit to him.
The reasons for this are unknown to Ye Qiu, and the Master of the Mist is unwilling to share.
However, in a previous conversation with the Master of Heaven, Ye Qiu mentioned this matter casually.
He said that everything under the sky can be tamed, including humans like them.
The Master of Heaven once trained humans to become his servants, which lasted for thousands of years, and that mountain originated from this.
But later on, He grew tired of it, yet the mountain remained.
Ye Qiu was wondering if something was missing as a trigger to tame the Lord of Elements.
The other Lords of Elements did not provide an answer, only the proud Master of Heaven was willing to discuss it.
Unfortunately, they later fell out.
However, Ye Qiu did not give up, he continued to look for ways to tame the Lord of Elements.
"You’ve also seen that Inferno inscription, ancient Eight Sages."
Hearing that, Ye Qiu turned around, "Hmm, it should be the same eight mentioned in the Legend of Eight Immortals."
"Because of the language barrier, the translation was a bit off, turning Eight Immortals into Eight Virtuous, and then into Eight Sages."
"Do you still remember the background story of the guide?"
Jiang Chen also turned around, "Descendant of the Eight Immortals?"
Ye Qiu casually pulled out a book from his backpack, on which several traditional Chinese characters were written.
The Legend of the Eight Immortals
"The guide should be a descendant of the pure yang sword immortal Lu Dongbing, because after the cultivation system was opened, the guide was the only one, and also the first NPC to enter the cultivation system."
"And the native NPCs of this world cannot cultivate their qi, which may be related to bloodlines."
"Of course, excluding players, as for why it is said to be Lu Dongbing, just looking at the fact that the guide can use the Fire-Leave Sword is evidence enough, right?"
