Chapter 89: Live Stream in the Mystic Realm
I'm really unlucky.
Jiang Yujiu came to a cluster of rocks, found a hidden corner, and hid.
Turning back and seeing that the Sword Cultivator hadn't chased after her, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Indeed, she is so powerful, she must have already started heading towards Sword Peak. It should be safe for me to hide here.
"Whew~"
Jiang Yujiu took off the miniature camera she had been wearing on her chest. This was for recording; she had worn it before entering the Mystic Realm.
She carefully took out an extremely tiny crystal card from inside the camera and placed it into her storage ring.
After going back and doing some minor editing, it would be a huge wave of traffic!
"Hehe!"
Thinking this, she took out her phone, preparing to take a selfie.
However, as soon as she opened it, she noticed something was wrong.
Wait!
Looking at the full network signal bars, Jiang Yujiu stood frozen in place.
"???"
Why is there internet in the Mystic Realm?!
After being stunned for a moment, she quickly went online to check the information about this trial.
She mainly wanted to confirm whether those who were eliminated had actually died.
If they hadn't died, those people would definitely speak up on the Spiritual Net!
As expected, she quickly saw that some eliminated trial participants had already appeared on the Spiritual Net to share their experiences.
Some complained about the difficulty being too high, while others complained about their bad luck, being surrounded and killed by a pile of Tongxuan Grass Monsters right at the start.
Some people even started to summarize 'clearance guides'.
Of course, this was useless. This third round of trial mainly depended on individual ability.
So Jiang Yujiu just glanced at it and ignored it.
Emm...
So this third round of trial really doesn't lead to death. Although she had thought so before, this confirmed it completely.
Jiang Yujiu's confidence immediately grew significantly.
Since there's internet, then... maybe I should start a live stream now?
Anyway, with my strength, the hope of winning the championship is quite slim. It's better to start a live stream and grab a wave of traffic!
Compared to Jiang Yujiu's relaxed demeanor, Han Yun, who was hiding within the cluster of rocks, was feeling a bit flustered.
Seriously, I'm already hiding in this godforsaken place, and someone actually came over!
As early as when Jiang Yujiu was approaching this direction, the warning array he had set up had activated.
He thought it was just someone passing by, but he didn't expect this idiot from Hehuan Sect to stop here!
Why are you hiding here instead of going to Sword Peak in the center?!
Just as Han Yun was about to activate his pre-arranged backup plan to scare her away.
"Good afternoon, everyone! Didn't expect this, right? I'm actually live streaming. I'll tell you a secret, the streamer is still inside the Mystic Realm!"
Damn it!
What the hell are you live streaming for?! Are you afraid people won't notice this place?!
Han Yun cursed inwardly. After only a few curses, he realized something was wrong.
Wait!!
Isn't this inside the Mystic Realm?
How can this idiot live stream?
Han Yun cautiously took out his phone. A faint light illuminated the screen. He looked closely.
Hmm?!
There really is internet!
"..."
He actually hadn't thought of this at all. This was truly inexcusable.
It seems thirty self-reflections per day are not enough, I need to increase it to fifty!
Afterwards, he also made the same move as Jiang Yujiu - going online to gather information.
He had to first confirm whether this third round of trial would really lead to death!
...
...
At the same time, on the other side.
To better understand the 'Principles' she had comprehended, Zhang Yunlu constantly put herself in dangerous situations.
Others would choose to avoid groups of three to five Tongxuan Grass Monsters, but she actively sought them out. Regardless of the number, she would meet them with her sword.
Because she felt this wasn't enough, she even rushed into the valley bottom.
Facing the dense, almost boundless clusters of Tongxuan Grass Monsters at the bottom of the canyon, Zhang Yunlu, with her single sword, charged in, stirring up a bloody storm.
Her action of rushing into the valley bottom was also seen by many trial participants, causing them to be inwardly startled.
Isn't this person a lunatic, specifically coming to the Mystic Realm to seek death?
Everyone looked towards the valley bottom, but because the canyon was too deep, they couldn't see exactly what was happening.
After quite a while, Zhang Yunlu, with only one-third of her spiritual power remaining, rushed out of the valley bottom again, her aura somewhat disordered.
The trial participants who were still nearby were shocked.
So many monsters at the bottom of the valley, and you actually managed to run back out after charging down?
Where did this ruthless character come from? She's so fierce!
Amidst their amazement, the trial participants observing from hiding also felt a surge of ambition.
She's not in good condition now, isn't this the best opportunity?
Although most trial participants thought that failing the trial wouldn't result in death, what if?
What if they really died?
No one was willing to gamble on that probability.
So it's better to take a chance now and eliminate a powerful opponent first!
Otherwise, judging from her performance just now, if she reaches Sword Peak, how many people could be her opponent?
Some people thought, and some people acted.
A figure suddenly rushed out from behind the rocks, quickly approaching Zhang Yunlu.
However, Zhang Yunlu did not flee. She turned back to look at the person who rushed out, a subtle ripple flashing in her eyes before quickly calming.
She knew this person. More accurately, she had seen him on television.
A teacher from Xuanjian City First Middle School, at the Nascent Soul mid-stage Realm. Every year, he could cultivate several students who joined Immortal Sects, so he was quite famous throughout Xuanjian City.
His information flashed through her mind.
The next second, the two were pulled into a combat space.
Who would win?
The trial participants still hiding in the dark waited quietly.
Five seconds later, Zhang Yunlu's figure reappeared.
Holy crap!
They finally understood Jiang Yujiu's feelings at this moment.
Five seconds?
You couldn't even kill a chicken that fast, could you?
The startled trial participants began to quietly retreat. Zhang Yunlu noticed but did not pursue.
She stood in place, softly murmuring, "Still not enough..."
Yes, far from enough.
She was recalling her only encounter with Chi Jiuyu.
Calling it an encounter, it should actually be called guidance. It was completely one-sided crushing.
Zhang Yunlu originally thought the gap between herself and Chi Jiuyu in the Qi Refining stage was in this 'Enlightenment of Principles'.
But now, when she truly 'comprehended the Principles', she finally understood how much Chi Jiuyu had held back when sparring with her that day.
Chi Jiuyu's level, even now, she was still very far from reaching.
The more she understood, the more she admired.
'The road ahead is long and arduous...'"
She suddenly remembered a sentence Saint Emperor Yuan had said.
If she wanted to become a Sword Cultivator like Chi Jiuyu, the path she had to walk was still very, very long.
"I will search high and low."
Softly reciting the second half of the sentence, Zhang Yunlu walked towards Sword Peak.
............
At this moment, Chi Jiuyu, who was unaware that she had become someone else's life goal, was like a salted fish, draped over the sofa, holding her phone in one hand.
After all, Xiao Yunlu had comprehended the Principles, so she would definitely slaughter everyone. It was better to go on the Spiritual Net and watch the fun.
As she scrolled, she saw a post.
【Shock! There's actually internet in the Mystic Realm of the third round of trial!】
A link was attached below the post.
Clicking it, she was directly redirected to a live stream room. In the upper left corner of the room, there was a small line of text - Full Live Stream of the Third Round Trial Mystic Realm.
Looking at the dense, constantly scrolling comments, Chi Jiuyu jolted up!
"Shishu, why is there internet in here?"
"Didn't I tell you last time? Because I wanted there to be."
"..."
So Shishu, you didn't cut off the internet connection after you connected it last time.
She looked at her phone screen again.
In the live stream room, Jiang Yujiu was explaining the rules of the third round of trial. Because the paths in the Mystic Realm were rugged and dangerous, her clothes were slightly 'damaged', and she was covered in some dust and dirt.
But this actually had a good effect. That faintly visible spring light indeed stirred one's heartstrings.
Many people liked this 'battle-damaged version' vibe!
Chi Jiuyu immediately sent several comments wanting to expose her scheme.
"Fake, you can tell she tore it herself!"
"You believe whatever she says? Do you have brains?!"
But the messages she sent were drowned in the dense comments, failing to create any ripple.
And...
【Dear (Sword Sect Future Sect Leader), you have been muted by the streamer for 3 days. Please pay attention to your speech. Violations will result in a long-term ban!】
Not only did it have no effect, but she also received a ban!
Immediately, a faint suction force came, seemingly trying to absorb a trace of vital energy.
Damn it!
Chi Jiuyu directly slapped it away!
Do you want me to give you a Sword Qi instead?!
Xu Xing glanced at her.
Choosing Chi Jiuyu as a life goal, he really didn't know if it was right or wrong.
...
...
In the Mystic Realm, Jiang Yujiu was happily getting traffic.
A continuous stream of vital energy and desires flowed into the sachet on her waist. The boost within the Mystic Realm also gave her many insights into the next Realm.
After going out this time, she could almost start preparing for promotion.
Thinking of the happy moments, she smiled even more happily. Although some negative comments occasionally floated by, she didn't care at all.
As a Charm Cultivators, cultivation requires being thick-skinned.
But just then, the ground suddenly trembled violently.
Rumble!
A sudden huge sound came from afar. Jiang Yujiu looked in the direction of the sound, and the expression on her face couldn't help but freeze.
A silvery-gray tide seemed to want to swallow the entire world.
Towering perilous peaks, cliff faces like knife cuts, every corner was plated with a layer of wriggling silvery-gray.
All the Tongxuan Grass Monsters in the entire Mystic Realm had revived!
The Tongxuan Grass Monsters enslaved by Gu after taking over Xiao Fan's body were like a drop in the ocean compared to this silvery-gray tide that was almost swallowing the entire world.
Jiang Yujiu quickly aimed her camera at the distance. The scene, like a natural disaster at the end of the world, made the comments section explode.
"Sorry everyone, the streamer might have to run first."
Saying that, she ran towards Sword Peak while holding up her phone.
Although she wouldn't die, every minute spent in the Mystic Realm meant immense traffic, so she wanted to live a little longer.
Within the cluster of rocks, Han Yun also felt the ground tremble and Jiang Yujiu's departure.
'She finally left.'
Out of caution, Han Yun still waited for a while before using the 'Scattering Beans to Form Soldiers' technique to condense an avatar and send it out to investigate the situation.
However, what came into view were countless Tongxuan Grass Monsters that had already arrived nearby!
Holy crap!
The next moment.
Boom!
The cluster of rocks directly exploded, and Han Yun leaped out, purple lightning Entanglement around his body.
Zzt!
His figure was like a streak of lightning, following the safe path he had previously scouted out.
He was so fast that he surpassed Jiang Yujiu in less than a minute.
Under the pressure of the Tongxuan Grass Monsters from the entire Mystic Realm, all the remaining trial participants had no choice but to rush towards the very center of the Mystic Realm, Sword Peak, with all their might.
Many trial participants encountered others along the way because of this and were pulled into combat spaces.
But even if they defeated their opponents, they were submerged by the vast army of tongxuan grass upon coming out.
The number of trial participants, which was already less than a hundred, began to decrease rapidly.
