Chapter 632: Chapter 35 The Stele of the Seven Immortals in Hiding

The crowd carefully peered into the stone room, which was pitch black save for a towering stele at the center that emitted a faint white light, clearly visible.

The crowd slowly entered through the stone gate, each activating their Reconnaissance Skills, detecting possible dangers. The stone room was so vast that even with more than two hundred people entering, they were still a considerable distance from the stele at the center of the room.

Xiao Jie activated his Qi Observation Skill and also used Sound Recognition, but he soon realized that in this stone room, there were only them, the players, and no other living creatures.

"Safe, no enemies detected."

"My Enemy Seeking Technique also didn’t find any enemies."

"My Guilty Conscience wasn’t triggered either, Boss, it seems that this place is safe."

"Mechanical Detection Technique hasn’t found any suspicious targets."

After reporting to each other, Long Xingtianxia spoke in a deep voice: "Hmm, still, we should be careful. Let’s see what is written on this stele first."

The crowd approached the stele, which stood over a dozen meters tall, and saw that it was inscribed with an ancient prophecy in archaic script.

[Stele of the Seven Immortals Concealed from the World:

Thousands of years ago, the Demon Star appeared suddenly.

The earth cracked, the sky collapsed.

Demons slaughtered, creatures scattered in chaos.

Immortals descended, slaying demons, eliminating trouble.

Though the catastrophe was quelled, hidden anxieties persisted.

The Seven Immortals gathered, calculating the Heavenly Secret.

After ten thousand years, great calamity will descend.

The end of days approaches, the future unseen.

Immortals go into hiding, leaving the common folk in peril.

Only through self-help is there a glimmer of hope...]

The lengthy inscription, totaling hundreds of words, was not difficult to interpret—the gist being—

[Ten thousand years ago, the Jiuzhou World experienced a great disaster. Immortals descended to save the afflicted. Though they quelled the cataclysm, in order to prevent further crises, they performed calculations and foresaw another disaster in ten thousand years, one even the Immortals could not avert.

Not even the future could be seen anymore; the passage of fated time had reached its end.

The Immortals, struck by fear and despair, decided to hide away, no longer interacting with the Mortal World, and the mortals ten thousand years later could only rely on their own strength to save themselves.

Of course, Immortals being Immortals, they couldn’t help but lend some assistance. Even in their seclusion, they decided to leave behind some hope for the mortals of the future.

Thus, they purposefully arranged for this treasure vault. Inside lay some relics left by the Seven Immortals. Should those destined by fate open the vault, they could use the items within to aid in saving the world.

They specifically appointed a White Dragon as the guardian of the vault. This White Dragon acts as a ward and also a tester for those fated. Only those who can slay the White Dragon and open the vault are worthy of inheriting the Immortals’ relics...]

Upon reading this, a sense of unexplained mission welled up within everyone. Could it be that the Immortals from ten thousand years ago had foreseen all this? Could they truly be the Heavenly Destiny People destined to save the world?

My, suddenly there’s a feeling of becoming the protagonist of a legendary novel.

It’s just that there are a bit too many ’main characters’... everyone whispered.

Suddenly, someone exclaimed with joy: "Boss, great joy! I reckon you are definitely the destined one here."

"Yes, Boss. In the past, Liu Bang rose up against the White Serpent, creating the foundation for the four-hundred-year reign of the Han Dynasty. Now, if you slay the White Dragon and establish a nation, wouldn’t you be even more incredible than Liu Bang?"

"Exactly, and the White Serpent Liu Bang slew was called the White Emperor’s Son, just like this White Dragon. Boss, with your final blow slaying the White Dragon, wouldn’t you perfectly embody the mandate of an emperor?"

Long Xingtianxia became serious upon hearing this, "Don’t joke around, guys, we’re in modern society now, let’s not indulge in these fantasies, eh. It’s just a game, all this talk about Red Emperor, White Emperor’s..."

After a moment of silence, he suddenly burst into laughter, "However, this is indeed a good omen. The treasures left by the Immortals must be extraordinary. Let’s hurry and look for them, see what the Immortals have left for us?"

Xiao Jie was also quite surprised. In any other game, he would have just thought it to be the deliberate arrangement of the plot, like the Lords in the World of Warcraft who save the world by the millions.

If everyone is a Lord, then it’s not that special.

But this was the magic of this game, which also lent a mysterious and fated quality to the prophecies left by the Immortals.

It seemed as though the two hundred-odd players in the stone room suddenly possessed some extraordinary destiny.

At that moment, crystalline white light suddenly filled the surroundings, pillars of light descending from above to illuminate the entire stone room. Around the room, there were seven stone platforms, and on each lay an assortment of items.

They must be the relics left by the Seven Immortals.

The crowd approached the first stone platform and saw a huge rock with a treasure sword embedded into it, only the ancient copper hilt visible above the stone.

Next to the rock stood another stele, seemingly as an explanation.

[Demon Slaying Sword: This is the Divine Weapon I wielded in my campaign against demons for over a hundred years across the Nine States. Now that I retreat into seclusion, this sword shall remain here.

Only those with righteousness and unparalleled heroism are worthy of drawing this sword.

May the fated ones who acquire this treasure sword be able to use it to slay demons and uphold justice in times of the end—Dangmo Real Man Lin Xuance.]

Lin Xuance? I know this name, thought Xiao Jie, the guy’s really a hard worker, appearing everywhere.

The crowd also gasped in amazement, Demon Slaying Sword, just the sound of it was powerful. A weapon used by an Immortal surely had to be an orange-grade weapon at least.
