Chapter 540: Chapter 359: Perfected Miaoshan

Wang Yi suddenly felt like he had switched back to his main account. He felt invigorated and acted with swift decisiveness.

A moment later, Wang Yi found the High-Dimensional Divine Hall on Gale Cliff.

This High-Dimensional Divine Hall was unusual; it looked like a fallen Cosmic Spaceship. Just as Mingyu Divine Lord had said, the descent missions here were exclusive—all of them combat-oriented. The available destinations were mostly worlds like the World of Suffering and Abandoned Worlds, and one could descend with their true body for free.

Furthermore, if one died while carrying out a descent mission from this Divine Hall, they would be immediately resurrected here in the High-Dimensional Divine Hall without any loss. However, they would be barred from accepting any more descent missions from this place afterward.

Wang Yi studied the descent missions but wasn’t very interested.

’I should just do those two descent missions.’

After a moment of thought, Wang Yi took out the [Quest Voucher: Chaos Era’s Piano Demon Xia Qinglin]. As expected, the voucher could be used here.

DING! You have used the quest voucher and successfully accepted the Chaos Piano Demon’s descent mission. You will now descend with your true body into the Sorrowful World! Notice: The Sorrowful World is an Abandoned World with thin Primordial Energy and extremely low oxygen levels, making it unsuitable for human survival. It is inhabited by some highly territorial Elemental Creatures!

DING! Your mission objective is to eliminate the mutated creature, the Residual Poison King, in the Sorrowful World. You will descend directly into its lair. The mission time limit is three days. If you fail to eliminate the Residual Poison King within three days, the mission will be considered a failure, and you will be unable to reactivate this quest!

DING! Notice: Deep within the Residual Poison King’s lair is a Chaos Demon Zither, which was swept here by turbulent spacetime and left behind. Finding the Chaos Demon Zither will immediately resurrect the Chaos Era’s Piano Demon, Xia Qinglin.

DING! Notice: This resurrection will preserve his class and abilities from the time of his death, but his level will be reset to zero, and he will have no personal belongings. He will also sign a loyalty contract with you! As the target of his loyalty, you may cast Xia Qinglin into the River of Souls at any time, and he cannot be redeployed for four hundred years.

DING! Descending...

Accompanied by the system prompts, the scenery before Wang Yi blurred. He felt himself enter a spacetime tunnel, his vision filled with streaks of light. After two or three breaths, the light dissipated, and Wang Yi’s feet touched solid ground. He had appeared in an underground lair.

’Eliminate the mutated creature, the Residual Poison King... this mission shouldn’t be too hard...’

Wang Yi muttered to himself as he surveyed his surroundings.

With his Breathing Technique, Wang Yi could survive even in a vacuum, so the environment here caused him no discomfort.

Soon, Wang Yi used Shrinking Inches to begin his exploration.

An hour later, Wang Yi had yet to find the Residual Poison King, but he had found the Chaos Demon Zither.

This Zither was the exclusive item of the Chaos Era’s Piano Demon, Xia Qinglin. After Wang Yi collected it, the ground suddenly began to tremble, followed by the sound of a roar.

RUMBLE, RUMBLE, RUMBLE...

Along with heavy footsteps, the Residual Poison King finally appeared. It resembled a rhinoceros, its body shimmering with a metallic luster. It was clearly not a creature of flesh and blood.

Wang Yi possessed the Insight Divine Techniques and learned that it was only level 260. It carried a heavy metal poison and had extremely high Life Force, requiring its body to be completely crushed to be killed.

An ordinary Player, even one with greater combat power than this Residual Poison King, would find it difficult to kill. As a metallic life form, it had no soul, no flesh-and-blood cells, and no fatal weaknesses.

However, Wang Yi had numerous Divine Techniques, and dealing with this level-260 Residual Poison King was extremely easy for him. He used his Samadhi True Fire Divine Technique and melted it into molten iron. The heavy metal poison and the metallic body were all useless.

With the kill complete, Wang Yi’s descent mission was finished. A Teleportation Gate to leave the Sorrowful World appeared before him, and he simultaneously received a system notification.

DING! Congratulations on completing the descent mission. The Chaos Era’s Piano Demon, Xia Qinglin, has obtained an opportunity for resurrection. Calculating...

DING! The Chaos Era’s Piano Demon, Xia Qinglin, will be resurrected within your territory via the White Bone Array. The loyalty contract has been signed, and he has become a special citizen.

Hearing this system prompt, Wang Yi’s thoughts shifted, and his consciousness descended into the Divine Body King, Wang Zhenmo.

Wang Zhenmo was stationed in the Burial Ground, suppressing the spiritual core of the Heaven-Sealing Array. Now under Wang Yi’s control, he stood up and shouted, "Qiao Meng!"

"Disciple is here!"

The one who responded to Wang Zhenmo was none other than the former Kaiyuan County Magistrate of the Golden Sparrow Country in the Ti Feng World. He had been under the sanctuary’s protection, and after his death, he was reborn in the Burial Ground, automatically changing his class to the hidden class of Wang Yi’s territory: "White Bone Skeleton."

He had taken Wang Zhenmo as his master, who taught him the Demon Suppression Spell. He engaged in Cultivation in the Burial Ground on White Bone Mountain, enjoying unlimited resources, and had now grown into a "White Bone Demon," reaching level 103!

Wang Zhenmo said, "Search the Burial Ground, find the resurrected Xia Qinglin, and escort him out of the White Bone Territory. Do not let any harm come to him!"

"Disciple obeys!"

Qiao Meng bowed in acknowledgment. He held Wang Zhenmo in high esteem, truly regarding him as the master who had imparted his skills.

In truth, Qiao Meng had always been self-aware. He knew he was just an ordinary person with limited abilities, incapable of accomplishing great things.

But after becoming a disciple, he learned the Demon Suppression Spell and, under Wang Zhenmo’s guidance, his strength grew daily. This made him feel as if he had changed, that perhaps he too could achieve something in the future.

Qiao Meng cherished this opportunity and respected Wang Zhenmo from the bottom of his heart.

He followed Wang Yi’s command and began searching the Burial Ground, soon discovering Xia Qinglin.

This person had not been reborn as a White Bone Skeleton. He was stark naked and had just crawled out of the Burial Ground, dazed and confused, with no idea where he was.

"You must be Xia Qinglin!"

Qiao Meng called out. "You’re actually a living person! Come with me, quickly. The yin energy here is dense and will cause you great harm. If you stay here a moment longer, you’ll die and even reanimate as a corpse."

"Hm?"

Xia Qinglin frowned upon hearing this. He had just been resurrected, and his mind was not yet clear.

"Here, this is an Yin Spirit Grass. Hold it. It can help you resist the invasion of yin energy for a short while. Get up, let’s go!"

Qiao Meng stuffed a small, dark-green blade of grass into Xia Qinglin’s hand, then pulled him along. Seeing that he was still dazed, Qiao Meng simply hoisted him onto his back and broke into a run.

A moment later, Qiao Meng carried Xia Qinglin to the edge of the White Bone Territory. He dropped Xia Qinglin to the ground, rubbing his own shoulder blades and hip bones. "That nearly worked my old bones to death. Alright, you’ve left the White Bone Territory now, so you’re safe for the moment. Here, take this robe. Follow the main road forward, and you should meet other living people soon. As for what happens after that... well, I can’t leave White Bone Mountain right now, so I can’t help you any further."

By now, Xia Qinglin’s consciousness had cleared. He pieced together the cause and effect of his situation. He had a gentle temperament, was not one for many words, and preferred quiet. He had many questions, but seeing that Qiao Meng was in a hurry, he simply cupped his fist in respect and said, "May I ask for my benefactor’s name? I will surely repay today’s kindness in the future."

Hearing this, Qiao Meng stopped and turned his head. "My name is Qiao Meng. There’s no need for repayment. But if you’re so inclined, could you help me check on some old acquaintances in Eggshell City? They were my three wives from when I was alive..."

Meanwhile, Wang Yi had already left the Sorrowful World. He had used the [Quest Voucher: Ancestral Master Miaoshan Sun Miaoshan] and descended into the Mito World.

The Mito World was also an Abandoned World. There was no sun or moon here, and the sky was dim. Although there was a firmament, it was covered in dark clouds, from which muffled thunder would occasionally roll.

Wang Yi’s descent mission was to destroy a continuously expanding spatial rift. The system provided the necessary material: a substance called Void Ether, sealed within an Alloy Canister that looked very high-tech.

According to the mission prompt, Wang Yi only needed to find the spatial rift and throw the Alloy Canister into it to complete the mission. The reward would be the loyalty of Ancestral Master Miaoshan Sun Miaoshan.

But Wang Yi understood in his heart that the mission could not possibly be that simple.

He soared into the clouds and followed the system’s guidance to explore the Mito World. He saw that the land below was scarred and devastated, though many broken colossi still stood upon it.

These colossi were all humanoid figures, over a hundred meters tall. They had the appearance of Buddhas or Daoist deities and seemed to have existed for eons, as they were severely weathered.

Suddenly, Wang Yi’s pupils contracted. He saw a colossal stone statue, which he estimated to be a thousand meters tall. It stood out like a crane in a flock of chickens, looking down on everything around it. And its appearance was identical to that of Ancestral Master Miaoshan Sun Miaoshan.
