Chapter 665: Ancient Land of Legend, Mount Buzhou (Bonus Chapter for Alliance Leader White King)

The players in the old shop were quite a bit ahead of those in the new shop.

However, it was not by much.

"So this Legend of Sword and Fairy 4 is just a story about them seeking immortality, and then getting ready to deal with the demon realm?" Jiang Xiaoyue was livestreaming at this moment.

"Yo-hahaha! It feels like they are having so much fun." The big white deer beside her had only just arrived at the Jimo Lantern Festival, playing there all by itself in silly bliss.

"But this Qionghua Sect doesn't feel like it's that good either." Jiang Xiaoyue's game progress was clearly much faster; she had already experienced many things after Jimo and had returned to Qionghua once again.

At this time, on one hand, the Qionghua Sect had already discovered Han Lingsha's identity as a tomb raider, causing their relationship to instantly become tense, while on the other hand, the battle between the Qionghua Sect and the Huanming Demon Realm was drawing closer and closer.

In the first half of Legend of Sword and Fairy 4, it resembled a plain and ordinary xianxia story, where youths sought immortality and fought for justice together, like onlookers who walked the path to witness all kinds of people and things.

They also transformed from ignorant youths, constantly exploring the concepts of humans and demons, right and wrong, and the meaning of life through their experiences.

People change, gradually maturing with their experiences, no longer adhering to their once ignorant and simple perceptions of the outside world.

Just like Murong Ziying, who was born into Qionghua and always upheld the principle that demons were inherently evil and must be completely eradicated.

And like Yun Tianhe, who was no longer so ignorant and simple, gradually developing many views of his own.

Or perhaps, for many things, there was originally no distinction between right and wrong, but only differences in stances and choices.

Before the Juanyun Terrace, the gates to the demon realm opened once again, and the promise made at the Jimo Lantern Festival to "have such opportunities to gather together for a lifetime" was not fulfilled.

What followed was only Liu Mengli finally confirming her identity as a member of the Huanming Realm demon race and departing sorrowfully; despite her reluctance, she still returned to the demon realm.

Perhaps one day, when Qionghua and the demon realm clashed, the two sides would cross swords.

...

Outside the forbidden land where Xuanxiao was frozen in ice, several people finally learned the truth about Qionghua and the demon realm twenty years ago from the mouth of the Sect Master.

Sect Master Suyao ordered a disciple to read the scrolls recording the secret history of the sect, finally revealing the events of that year.

"The twentieth Sect Master of our sect, Perfected Cultivator Daoyin, with his astounding talent, cultivated bitterly throughout his final years and comprehended the secret method to ascend with the sect's disciples by combining the strength of the Yin and Yang dual swords. Since then, exhausting the manpower and material resources of three generations, the Xihe and Wangshu dual swords were finally forged."

"The Yin and Yang dual swords must be cultivated through the method of 'harmony between human and sword' for several years to achieve success, and the method of ascension with the dual swords must be assisted by abundant spiritual energy, which is beyond what bitter cultivation in the mortal world can reach. Perfected Cultivator Daoyin truly possessed deep foresight; he once observed the stars at night and divined a wondrous land flowing with extraordinary spiritual energy that should be usable by our sect, yet this is the demon realm, which is not easy to deal with..."

"...Our sect's disciples Xuanxiao and Suyu possessed excellent aptitude and were chosen as the hosts for the dual swords. After three years, when the demon realm descended once again on its nineteen-year cycle, Xuanxiao and Suyu combined the power of the dual swords to bind the demon realm, rendering it immobile in order to draw upon its powerful spiritual energy. However, the demon realm resisted fiercely, and our sect fought hard against it. The twenty-fourth Sect Master, Perfected Cultivator Taiqing, was unfortunately slain by the demons, triggering a prolonged and exceptionally brutal war."

"At the critical moment, Suyu, the host of the Wangshu Sword, grew fearful, and due to personal feelings, fled with the sword alongside her senior brother Yun Tianqing. Xuanxiao, the host of the Xihe Sword, was left unable to support it alone, causing the demon realm to break free from Kunlun and depart. In this battle, our sect lost over a hundred elites..."

This was precisely the battle between the human and demon realms that had been displayed before everyone in the opening cinematic.

...

As major streamers of the old shop, everyone's progress was obviously around this point by now.

In fact, the early stage of Legend of Sword and Fairy 4 was not considered difficult, so except for a group of elves who acted as scenery sightseers, other people's game progress would not be too bad at this time.

"Oh... so humans cannot pass through the demon realm, which means if we want to find Mengli, we have to go to the ghost realm to find that Yiying Branch that can cross any barrier?" In Su Tianji's livestream room, Elder Su could be seen with a look of amazement on her face, "So now I need to take Lingsha and Ziying to that Buzhou Mountain to look for the path leading to the Wuchang Hall, right?"

Although Fengdu could also lead to the ghost realm, that was the entrance to the outer fringes of the ghost realm. If they wanted to find the Yiying Branch, they had to enter the Wuchang Hall of the ghost realm, so they had to go by way of Buzhou Mountain. After all, it was impossible for humans to freely come and go seven times in the ghost realm, so having a road that led directly nearby was clearly more reliable.

"What kind of place is Buzhou Mountain...?" Whether it was the players of the new shop or the old shop, they were all very curious, "It can actually support heaven and earth? Is there really such a powerful mountain?"

At this time, the title of Su Tianji's livestream room had already been changed to: Elder Su Takes You on a Tour of Buzhou Mountain.

Meanwhile, a certain big white deer that had gone online quite early today had already logged off by now. It happened to see a certain salted-fish elder livestreaming: "Princess Xiaoyue, come quickly to watch Elder Su's livestream!"

"Eh? Elder Su is livestreaming again? For some reason, watching Elder Su's livestream lately always makes me worry that she will take a leap of faith and fall off her flying sword." Jiang Xiaoyue muttered a line and sat over.

Over at the Half City shop, a certain funny-ball Grand Exalted was also running a livestream at this time: Journey to Buzhou Mountain.

"It is said that this mountain is a great mountain that supported heaven and earth in ancient times." In the Half City shop, a mass of black cloud could be seen floating in front of the computer desk, even wearing a virtual headset, "It is highly likely that there will be many unknown dangers inside, but do you think this deity would be afraid? Today I will lead everyone to tour this Buzhou Mountain and see what lies within."

As a group of scenery sightseers, even though the elves had not played to this point themselves, they obviously could not miss such scenery. They hurriedly watched others play a round, and at this moment, they also began to crowd around to watch Helen and the others' journey to Buzhou Mountain.

Bu means negation, and zhou means complete; the meaning of Buzhou Mountain was also an incomplete mountain.

In the world before Fang Qi crossed over, the story of the Gonggong clan crashing into Buzhou Mountain in anger, causing the heavenly pillars to collapse, the sky to tilt, the earth to overturn, and floods to inundate the land, had already been passed down for countless years. But to this world, no matter which continent the people were from, it was still very unfamiliar.

At this time, they flew their swords northward along Qionghua, and after the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, they finally set foot on this land steeped in endless mythological colors.

The sword light descended, and gazing out from atop the mountain peak, the sky was gloomy and the mountain rocks were dark, resembling a vast expanse of ruins filled with an ominous aura.

This place was desolate and uninhabited, with not even grass or trees growing.

Right near the place where they landed, there seemed to be a dark and foul energy surging forward. Not far away, atop a skeleton, stood a heavy sword with a dark purple and peculiar shape.

A red glow flickered upon the sword, appearing extremely malevolent.

"What is this?" To the players of the new shop, this sword was clearly unfamiliar and dangerous.

But to the players of the old shop...
