Chapter 501 - Whoever Chickens out Is the Loser

Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations

Sitting in the easternmost part of the continent, Dajin bordered on the vast ocean in the east. The celestial islands stood in the ocean, which were home to many cultivators and some factions.

Birds flew in the misty sky above the Eastern Ocean. Sword energies could be vaguely seen as they traveled close from the distant horizon and landed on the shore of the Northern Ocean. Then, they flew to the south. About 15 minutes later, the people flying on the swords saw a huge prosperous human city that was cut through by a canal.

Looking from the distant sky, they could see this city was much larger than Half City. On the outer range of the city were rows of residential houses built with black bricks and white tiles, and the streets and alleys ran across each other with big and small rivers winding through the residential areas. One-third of the streets in the city were waterways, and they could see boats traveling in the rivers.

In the center of the city stood exquisite small buildings with glass tiles and beautiful engravings, adding a sense of sentiments and a picturesque atmosphere to the whole city.

Compared with the magnificent cultivation cities such as Half City and Black Dragon City, this city looked like a piece of warm jade submerged in water.

“Is this Jiuhua City?!” Many cultivators exclaimed while flying.

“It might be!” Liu Ningyun rolled her beautiful eyes. “When we asked for directions, they told us this is the way and it was past the three small cities. This should be the place.”

“Guys, look! Look over there!” With a shiver, Mo Xian suddenly pointed to the east of the sky.

Among the flowing white clouds, three figures wearing simple white robes were traveling on swords, looking like immortals.

Of course, they would’ve looked like immortals if the two girls trailing behind were not chatting with each other.

“Fenghua, the people in yesterday’s Final Fantasy were so dashing, weren’t they?”

“The girls in the movie are so gentle,” Fenghua said cheerfully. “That girl named Tifa... I wish I could take her home!”

“The antagonist is super dashing too! Ahh!” They shrieked in excitement.

“Ahem!” Su Tianji coughed lightly, showing her dignified look as their master. “Don’t you think that your master is dashing as well?”

She was about to show them her move that she copied from the movie.

“Oh! We have company!” Immediately, she resumed flying with the sword control technique and acted serious.

“Sword control technique?” The people of the Morning Star Sea Realm yelled in surprise and stared at them.

Then, the three white-clothed girls flying with the sword control technique stared back at them.

“Master, there so many people over there. I’ve never seen such dressing styles before.”

“The girl wearing the green gauze dress looks familiar?!” Su Tianji gazed at Ning Bi.

To her surprise, the green-clothed girl stared back at her.

They stared at each other for a long while.

Suddenly, Su Tianji opened her mouth and yelled, “Isn’t she that Biyao who played the guitar and sang ‘The Boundless Sea and Sky’ by Beyond?!”

“Ms. Sprite?!” Fenghua and Yuexin yelled out her QQ ID.

“Ahh!”

“You are...”

“F*ck!” Black Demon blurted out an internet cussing word. “How come I feel like she looks like the Yuji Immortal who beat me in the Legend of Mir 2!”

The Xichi Spiritual Master also recognized Su Tianji, and she shouted in astonishment, “Aren’t you the Daoist friend who played ‘A Music from Guangling’ at the New Year’s Party?!”

“I saw her on Mr. Fang’s livestream! The one who went to the three saint factions!”

“You are...” Su Tianji’s mind instant blanked out.

“Morning Star Sea Realm...” The people in the front only said four words.

“Ahh-!”

“Ahh-!”

Screams and shrieks rose in the sky. They knew that there was going to be a netizen meetup, but they were still astonished that people whom they only knew through the internet and lived in a place hundreds of thousands of kilometers away across the ocean would appear before them.

After exchanging their Internet IDs, many of them realized that they were friends on the internet, and a few of them, Su Tianji and Ning Bi for example, had talked about music with each other in personal chats.

Also, Su Tianji had encountered Xi Yue many times when they played the Legend of Mir 2 since Xi Yue was the only wizard on Mr. Fang’s team.

Liu Ningyun and Mo Xian were regular visitors of Mr. Fang’s arcade shop in QQ, and Su Tianji met them frequently when playing the King of Fighters there.

Su Tianji had just finished her work in the Liuyun Daoist Palace and was on her way to the internet café while flying on her sword. To her surprise, she had encountered so many friends from the internet in real life.

It was amazing!

She was excited, thrilled, curious, and a bit nervous.

Although she had known many of them through the internet, she didn’t know their personalities and backgrounds in the real world.

Finally, she said to the group of people who came from afar, “Would you like to visit the internet café? You can meet the others while you’re there.”

“Let’s go! Let’s go! Let’s go!”

“Hahahaha! I feel like three seasons pass when I don’t get online for a day!”

“I wonder how it feels to get online in Jiuhua City!”

The cultivators of the Morning Star Sea Realm were thrilled at this topic.

“Come on! Let’s take a group photo and show them! Let them be envious first, hahahaha!” It seemed like these people acted almost the same way as they did online. Su Tianji laughed heartily and almost exposed her reckless personality, and she pulled some girls she was familiar with to her side. “Smile!”

She pressed on the image-saving button on her communication jade.

Then, she copied the picture and posted it in all the group chats on QQ.

Ji Wu said, [

How come you’re together?!]

Nalan Hongwu chimed in, [You met them already?! Where are they?! I’ve never seen people from across the ocean before. Let me meet them!]

Song Qingfeng inputted, [

Lin Shao stared at the screen with wide-open eyes. “The girls of the Morning Star Sea Realm are all gorgeous.”

Liang Shi, who was a player as experienced as Song Qingfeng but rarely spoke in the group chat, voiced his thoughts, [Oh my goodness. I never thought that I could meet people from across the ocean in my life...

]

Tang Yu asked, [You’ve seen each other already?]

Mr. Fang chimed in, [Awesome. Congratulations on your safe arrival.]

While messages flooded the group chats, the people acting as hosts such as Ji Wu, Nalan Hongwu, and Lan Mo came out of the city to welcome the guests. Some players followed them out to have fun, including Song Qingfeng, Dong Qingli of Jiuhua City, Ye Xiaoye of the Cloud Ocean Faction, Ling Wanyin of Yuxu Mountain, and Li Longyuan of Xuanzhong Manor, etc. Dozens of flying swords flew up into the sky above Jiuhua City, presenting an eye-catching sight.

“Do you recognize them?!” Mo Tianxing said with a laugh.

“I recognize one!” Yue Yan raised her hand and said, “I saw that white-haired old man once before! He can use Sword 23! Super powerful!”

Black Demon shrunk his neck and said, “Quite a few members of the Royal Clan Guild...”

For a moment, he had a feeling that he would get beaten up.

He had indeed come over ‘through the internet cable’, but seeing so many members of the Royal Clan Guild, he was afraid that we would be knocked down to the ground instantly.

“Hehehe...” Tang Yuan was smarter and more adaptable to changes. “You must be Daoist friends of the Royal Clan Guild.”

He was all smiles.

“Yuanheng Old Dog?!” It just slipped out...

“F*ck you! Scumbags of the Royal Clan!”

“F*ck! You dare to call me a scumbag? I’ll kill you in the game later!”

“Come on! Let’s battle outside the Earth City! Whoever chickens out is the loser!”

The others looked embarrassed and were at a loss for words.
