A sudden system alert sounded off.
“Ding!”
“Congratulations to player Luo Tian for triggering a quest – Save the souls of all these Boundless Sect disciples.”
“Quest Grade: S”
“Quest Time Limit: Ten days”
“Quest Reward: 1.5 million experience points, 100,000 yuan energy, and a random permanent transformation card.
A quest had been triggered!
It was an S-rank quest but came with ordinary rewards. However, Luo Tian still coveted the permanent transformation cards. He needed these transformation cards because each of them was considered his protection. Having a few more of these cards would be equivalent to having a few more lives.
After thinking for a while, Luo Tian made his decision, “Accept!”
“Ding!”
“Congratulations to player Luo Tian for accepting the quest. The quest timer will start now…”
An image of a countdown timer appeared in Luo Tian’s mind. He only had ten days, but he had no clue how to help the souls of these Boundless Sect disciples. He immediately asked Illusion Fairy, “Tell them I agree to help them. Also, ask them how I am supposed to help them escape their condition?”
Briefly after, Illusion Fairy replied, “They said at the peak of the Boundless Sect is the Boundless Main Hall. Inside the hall is a Soul Splitting Sword. As long as the Soul Splitting Sword is shattered, their souls can escape the restrictions and enter the cycle of reincarnation.”
Luo Tian looked up and saw a large building among the clouds. He then said to himself, “Is it really that simple? Shatter a sword and complete the quest? That kind of quest would be C-rank at most, so how can an S-rank quest be like that?”
He then said to Illusion Fairy, “It shouldn’t be as simple as shattering a sword, right? If it really were that simple, they could’ve done it themselves. Why would they need my help? Tell them to speak the truth, or else we will immediately leave.”
Luo Tian just wanted to force them to tell him the things they may have concealed since he understood an S-rank quest wouldn’t be that easy to complete.
He wasn’t an idiot and wouldn’t want to go in and lose his life without even knowing why.
Almost half a minute later, Illusion Fairy said with anger, “These spirits are too hateful to hide the truth! It’s good that you asked, or else we would’ve fallen into their trap. Let’s leave this place and not go any further.”
Illusion Fairy was clearly angry. Not because of them hiding the truth, but because there was a huge hidden threat inside the Boundless Sect.
Luo Tian didn’t turn to leave. He already knew an S-rank quest wouldn’t be simple, so he asked, “What did they say? What kind of expert is hiding in there?” 𝙧άŊŎBËṩ
Illusion Fairy replied, “Let’s not talk about the powerful sorcerer’s spiritual body protecting the sword. There are actually powerhouses in the Great Diffusion realm and the Myriad Illusion realm inside! How can a Martial Void ranker like you deal with them?”
“Moreover, I used up my power a few days ago, so I can no longer help you now. Otherwise, I can make this sect disappear into ashes!”
Upon speaking to this point, Illusion Fairy felt a little regret.
If she had saved her Illusionary Divine power to use here, then everything would have been easily solved.
Luo Tian frowned as he muttered, “Great Diffusion realm? Myriad Illusion realm? The gap is too large. I can still take on someone in the Martial Void realm, but the Great Diffusion realm exceeds what I can handle. Unless I use a transformation… But each card can only last five minutes, so I can only kill one expert during that time. There’s also that spiritual body of a sorcerer in the main hall. He should be the powerful boss I need to face, so how am I supposed to deal with them all?”
Luo Tian then asked, “Then what cultivation base does that spiritual body in the Boundless Main Hall have?”
Illusion Fairy replied, “Are you really thinking of going there? You better not do this favor for them. Going in there is guaranteed death, so don’t do anything stupid.”
She was getting anxious, afraid that Luo Tian really wanted to go there.
Since Illusion Fairy was afraid, then it clearly showed how dangerous it was.
Luo Tian grinned, “Just tell me first.”
Illusion Fairy then said, “They said that the sorcerer’s spiritual body was at the peak of the Myriad Illusion realm around ten thousand years ago. Spiritual bodies can still cultivate, albeit very slowly. But given ten thousand years of time, most likely it would have reached the Divine Sea realm by now. With your cultivation base, not to mention getting close, you won’t be able to even handle a single thought from it. Please don’t do anything stupid. It’s not worth it for these random, unrelated souls.”
She worriedly advised Luo Tian once more.
“Sure enough, it’s a Divine Sea realm boss.”
Luo Tian’s gaze trembled.
It wasn’t in fear but in excitement!
Luo Tian then started wondering to himself, “What kind of loot would explode from a Divine Sea boss?”
Behind him were around fifty young Bai family disciples who were crying out for resources. These people would be the future pillars of the Bai family, so he had to quickly improve their cultivation. Only by improving their strength could they have an impact against the higher powers.
“I want to go in!” Luo Tian decided without hesitation.
Illusion Fairy immediately shouted, “Have you lost your mind?!”
“Do you even know what it means to go against a Divine Sea spiritual body?!”
“You, you, you… What the hell is that brain of yours thinking?! It is not worth it to do this for these resentful spirits! You have no relations with them, so why are you endangering your life for them?! Is it really worth it?!”
Indeed, Luo Tian had no relations with these resentful spirits. But he wasn’t really doing it for them; he was doing it for himself. This was for the future Bai family, to help them build a solid foundation.
One cannot seek out an S-rank quest and can only randomly encounter one!
Luo Tian couldn’t let this opportunity go!
But Luo Tian didn’t lose his mind, nor was he an idiot.
He believed in the system!
Since the system allowed him to trigger this quest, this meant there had to be a way to accomplish it. There was no doubt that it was doable; it was just that Luo Tian hadn’t yet found the way yet. All quests would have an exploitable bug.
Inside video games, there could be bugs with the map or sometimes with the bosses themselves.
Once a person finds the bug, they can complete the quest quite easily.
Just when Luo Tian wanted to say he was still going to go, Illusion Fairy said, “I’ve told them everything you’ve just said. You can’t see it, but they are so grateful that they are all kneeling on the ground right now. And…” There was a slight pause, but she continued, “There is a small white flower to your left in that patch of grassy area. Eat that Specter Flower, and you will be able to hear and see them. They have something to tell you.”
Luo Tian immediately followed the directions.
After swallowing the Specter Flower, a strange light flashed in his eyes.
In front of him appeared a large white expanse of resentful spirits, just like the ghosts one would see in a movie. Their bodies floated in midair, each one with grotesque-looking faces. Except, their eyes had a look of gratitude in them. The majority of them were kneeling and kowtowing to Luo Tian.
