Chapter 49: Eradication of the Dao Plan
by xennovelKeep grinding.
Looking at the players rushing along the road, Jiang Ping chuckled, “Pack up, wash up, and get some sleep. I don’t have that much spirit for this. I’ll just keep an eye on the players’ movements.”
For some reason, everyone seems dissatisfied with enforced learning. When it comes to games, no matter how cruel, they just keep pushing forward! Just like that Ji Lao Jiang, flying through the outer cosmos for two days, only to see a vast expanse of darkness, occasionally dotted by a few twinkling stars.
Such a boring journey, and yet he could still endure it! Unable to hold back any longer, he logged off to chat on the forum. The allure of top-tier gear really was remarkable! Jiang Ping set up the game environment of ‘Primordial World’; playing wouldn’t drain his spirit, but instead, the abundant spiritual energy of that world would energize him even more.
Jiang Ping could almost predict that if the cultivation methods improve in the future, these players would probably immerse themselves for 24 hours a day.
In the future, should he set up anti-addiction measures for updates?
Jiang Ping wondered whether he should let players bask in daily rewards like zero to seven? Players rushed to Yujing Mountain day and night, encountering many amusing events along the way. Whenever they spotted precious treasures, they always adhered to the principle of not leaving a blade of grass unharvested in the wake of natural disasters.
Additionally, while researching powerful weapons, explosions occasionally echoed as players ended up covered in soot, and one even launched himself into the sky due to overdoing it!
Soon, a newcomer joined this grand adventure; it was after all the only opportunity to topple the super BOSS!
In the future, he would grow even stronger, making it impossible to be defeated!
Hongjun Daozu was simply oozing wealth; even a single strand of hair from him could end this group of players!
There were even outsiders analyzing that whoever could obtain the Creation Jade Plate would become the system of this game! They could control the entire Primordial World!
There’s no doubt that this information drove players even crazier! The players found by the officials were particularly urged to take down Hongjun and seize the Creation Jade Plate!
Expert analysis: the Creation Jade Plate holds the authority of this world! Whoever possesses it can attain the Dao!
Time accelerated a hundredfold, and after a while, the horizon of the three-dimensional world glowed fish-belly white. A man with disheveled hair appeared, brimming with spirit as he declared:
“Finally made it to Yujing Mountain after such a long trek! The others should be arriving soon. I’ll go ahead and create a few super explosive packages!”
Except for Ji Lao Jiang, who was far out in space, the remaining 99 players had pretty much arrived.
Yujing Mountain, swathed in ethereal clouds, may not be very tall, but it’s brimming with celestial energy. With deer bounding and cranes calling, it truly is a blessed land.
However, today, this spiritual mountain would be anything but peaceful. The various ugly creatures arriving from every direction glanced at each other and burst into raucous laughter.
“Haha, who would’ve thought everyone would be so ugly? I thought it was only me, Old Zhang!”
“Don’t be fooled by my looks; look at these biceps! I could take down a ferocious beast with one punch! I even killed a little beast on the way here!” Spending Addict boasted.
Everyone was taken aback. Spending Addict truly was a gaming prodigy, even managing to slay a beast on the road! Keep in mind that although they currently appeared as Primordial monsters, nobody knew how to cultivate and level up. For now, they were all relying on their physical instincts to battle.
Also, beasts aren’t just about physical attacks; they can unleash mysterious spells too! “Come on, everyone! After traveling for several days and nights from all corners, let’s take a picture to commemorate our reunion!” North Mysterious Rain laughed.
“Click!”
A chaotic shot of strange creatures appeared. Shui Yue, being a girl, took the picture to show off on the forum.
However, she was ridiculed by many online: “What sort of bizarre creatures are you? Being ugly isn’t your fault, but flaunting it? Now, that’s a problem!” Nine Heavens Immortal chimed in: “I stayed up all night just to watch you all take down Hongjun. Now, seeing this picture makes me not only not want to sleep but also want to jump into the Primordial World to smack you all around!” Xiao Lian added: “Exactly! Millions of people stayed up not to see these ugly freaks! With so much to accomplish, you think this is a vacation? Why don’t you take a good look at yourselves!”
The venomous comments nearly sent Shui Yue MM into a tizzy.
She took a deep breath. “I’m magnanimous enough not to hold it against you. Just wait and watch as I livestream taking down the super BOSS, Daozu Hongjun!”
In the Primordial World, at the foot of Yujing Mountain, a gathering of monsters was deep in deliberation.
“Brothers, this land truly is splendid! The spiritual energy here feels denser than anywhere else. Could this be what a blessed realm is like?” Game Master Zhang marveled.
North Mysterious Rain nodded vigorously, pointing dramatically, “The mountain isn’t high; it’s the spirits that matter! And we’re here to slay immortals today! We’re targeting the immortals among immortals!”
Others nodded in agreement, although one chimed in:
“I just checked, and it seems this mountain range is the Kunlun Mountains. We can say it’s the ancestral vein of the Primordial World!
The abundant treasures here number in the thousands! Who knows how many innate deities are maturing deep within these mountains!”
Everyone gasped; so this is indeed Kunlun Mountain! No wonder it has such extraordinary phenomena!
The Mountain of All Ancestors, the First Divine Mountain.
Suddenly, Xiao Lin said, “I recall that the Three Pure Ones Daozu also emerged from Kunlun Mountain!”
During these past few days, he had been locked in a small black room and had to hurriedly study numerous ancient myths. Now, various mythic secrets flowed easily from his mouth, far more familiar than many casual players.
Upon hearing that the Three Pure Ones Daozu was nearby, these audacious fellows’ thoughts began to wander.
Still, Game Master Zhang coolly interrupted, “Brothers, we are here to take down the ultimate boss, Hongjun! The treasures on him are the very vastest! Moreover, the Three Pure Ones Daozu is rumored to have heavenly blessings, likely protected by some powerful innate formation, so it might not be easy to kill him.
At most, after we successfully slay Hongjun, we should look around and see if we can sneak away the Great Yellow Linglong Pagoda!”
Everyone nodded; we can’t get distracted, or we’ll let the big treasure slip! Daozu Hongjun is the biggest prize in the Primordial World! Spending Addict said: “Let’s hope that it isn’t during the initial creation, because our manufactured weapons seem to be even more potent than reality! Otherwise, Old Zhao wouldn’t have ended up blasted into the sky!”
Old Zhao was that unfortunate player who got blasted into the air by his own explosives.
North Mysterious Rain chuckled and said, “Isn’t that a good thing? This boosts our confidence even more!
Come on, brothers, let’s allocate the items and prepare a plan. This time, the plan is called the ‘Eradication of the Dao Plan’! We, the Four Heavenly Disasters, will not go unnoticed; we’re going to turn the Primordial World upside down! Let’s show Daozu Hongjun the power of technological fists!”
Everyone chanted in agreement as they began to get busy, discussing how to surround and eliminate Hongjun, ensuring he wouldn’t escape when trouble came.
After several hours of research, they ultimately decided on using the ‘lure the serpent out of its hole’ tactic to catch Hongjun in a pre-set trap. That would be the safest approach.
However, who would attract Daozu Hongjun? Most likely, that person would either be pulverized by Hongjun’s many magical treasures or obliterated in a super explosion.
And upon death, the loot would be beyond reach. Who would sacrifice themselves? The ninety-nine players looked at each other in silence, the atmosphere quickly becoming extremely awkward.
North Mysterious Rain looked up at the sky and sighed, “The first step of the Eradication of the Dao Plan is already facing a tremendous challenge.”
On the game forum, Shui Yue hadn’t updated for a while, and the viewers, having stayed up late, were anxiously waiting. They hoped to see if they could successfully take down Hongjun! What earth-shaking changes would the game undergo?
Shui Yue had no choice but to step in to explain. When the players’ plans were revealed, the audience erupted in laughter; was this not a plan that was destined to fail before it even started?
Clever netizens began to offer their suggestions.
