Chapter 1043 Arriving at Third Heaven(2)
"By the way, what happened to the players that were killed after they entered the Third Heaven? Do they get sent back to Spirit Heaven since they respawn in the last city they visited?" Chu Liuxiang suddenly asked.
"No, they get sent to the nearest city in Third Heaven." Xi Murong said.
"What are your plans now that you're in Third Heaven?" Wang Bingbing asked a moment later.
"I'm going to visit the Myriad of Techniques to see if they have any new techniques, then I am going to visit the Demon Sealing Clan, since I have some unfinished business with the Demon Sealing Pagoda." Yuan said.
He turned to look at Li Jinxi and asked, "What about you? Now that you're in Third Heaven, what are your plans? If you want, you can follow us to the Myriad of Techniques. I can get you some free techniques."
"Free techniques?"
Yuan nodded, "Yes, and since we don't know our location, it would be better for you to follow us until we arrive at a city. Who knows how powerful the magical beasts around us are."
"Alright, then I will bother you a little longer." Li Jinxi agreed to follow them.
Sometime later, Meifeng filled the table with a feast.
"You cooked all of this in just two hours…? Even ten people would have trouble cooking this much food in such a short time!" Wang Ming was shocked by Meifeng's inhuman capabilities.
However, despite the food filling the whole table, they would empty all of the plates in less than an hour with Yuan putting in the most effort, as he was the hungriest there.
Perhaps it was due to his new physique that required more energy, but Yuan didn't feel full even after eating half of the food on the table.
"How was the food?" Meifeng suddenly asked him.
"As always, it's perfect." ꜰʀᴇᴇwᴇʙɴovᴇʟ.coᴍ
"Really? But you don't seem satisfied. Perhaps you're not full yet? I will make more food—"
"It's fine. I'm not full, but I don't need to be full every time I eat. As long as I don't starve, I will be fine." He stopped her.
"If you say so…"
After their meal, Yuan returned to his room and called Yu Rou to chat with her.
"Am I bothering you right now? I can call later if that's the case." Yuan asked her as he laid on the bed.
"It's okay, I needed a break anyway." Yu Rou said.
And she continued, "Congratulations, brother. I heard the news. You entered the Third Heaven, right?"
"Yes."
"Are you okay? People are saying that you were also a victim of the player massacre. Have you heard of it?" she then asked.
"I heard of it, but you don't need to worry. None of us are hurt because…" Yuan proceeded to explain the whole situation to her.
"What?! You're currently being hunted by these powerful families?! Why?!" Yu Rou was shocked to learn of this information.
"I'm not sure either, but according to the Ji Family, the Heavens want me dead." Yuan shrugged.
"The Heavens…? Is that some kind of title for someone?"
"I'm not sure either."
"What are you going to do to these people? Are you going to kill all of them?" Yu Rou suddenly asked, her voice sounding a bit worried.
"No, I won't fight them unless it's absolutely necessary. I don't want to put you guys in danger, either. They probably think I am dead right now because of the player massacre, so I'm going to travel under a new identity for now."
"Stay safe, brother. Now that I know our souls are involved, I really don't want you to hurt yourself."
"I know." ꜰʀᴇᴇwᴇʙɴovᴇʟ.coᴍ
The two of them continued to chat with each other for another half an hour. Once the call ended, Yuan decided to get some actual sleep.
Unbeknownst to Yuan, he would not wake up for three whole days.
Three days later, Yuan woke up, feeling incredibly refreshed.
However, he was surprised to see Wang Xiuying sitting right beside him.
"Huh? What are you doing?" He asked her.
"You're finally awake! You have been sleeping for three days now, Yuan! I was just checking your condition just to make sure you're still alive."
"Three days?" Yuan's eyes widened. "I guess it's been a while since I last got some decent sleep. What about the others?"
"I told them to not worry— that you're probably just exhausted after spending so much time in Cultivation Online."
"I see… Thank you, Xiuying."
"Don't even mention it. I am the faction's nurse for a reason," she smiled.
"Anyways, now that you're awake, go let the others know that you're okay. They're all training in the field right now."
"Okay." He nodded.
After washing his face, Yuan went to the balcony and flew to the training field that was right behind their building.
The others were relieved to see that he was fine.
"Yuan, let's spar." Li Jinxi suddenly approached him.
"Sure."
Yuan started training with Li Jinxi and the others.
Over the next several days, Yuan would relax in the real world without logging into Cultivation Online. After what he'd experienced in the Stairway to Heaven, he really needed a break.
The ladies that went to the Third Heaven with him did the same, not that they could go anywhere without Yuan in Cultivation Online.
Li Jinxi would spend all of her time training her body, motivating herself with Yuan. As for Chu Liuxiang and Meixiu, besides improving their own cultivation, they would spend the rest of their time in bed with Yuan.
After an entire week had passed since Yuan ascended to the Third Heaven, they finally decided to return to Cultivation Online.
Once they were inside Cultivation Online, they picked a random direction and started flying towards that direction, hoping they would come across a city or some people to ask for directions.
After flying for almost the entire day, they finally found a group of traveling merchants for directions.
"The nearest city would be Fu Cheng City. If you continue traveling towards the south, you should reach it in an hour." The merchants said to them.
"I understand. Thank you for your help." Yuan handed them some spirit stones to show his gratitude before continuing the journey, arriving at the city about half an hour earlier than anticipated.
