Chapter 82: Chapter 73: A Slightly Strange World_1

Where’s the game interface?

A sense of caution stirred in Qi Yuan’s heart.

He hastily tried heading back inside the Tian Jue, but he realized he couldn’t return to it.

"So, I won’t have a game interface outside the forbidden and dangerous lands?"

"Doesn’t that make me no different from an NPC?"

Qi Yuan was stunned.

He quickly accepted this reality.

"Even without the game interface, I can still slay the outlandish evildoers!" Recalling a certain elite’s words, Qi Yuan stopped worrying about the whole matter.

"The only pity is, I can’t contact Jin Li anymore."

"I hope that there won’t be any cliche mix-ups, right?"

Qi Yuan has heard plenty of stories about mistaking one person for another during a blind date or meetings.

"Xiao Jia," Qi Yuan softly called out while holding Xiao Jia.

Obedient to his command, Xiao Jia shrank, finally turning into a nuptial dress tattoo on Qi Yuan’s chest.

Qi Yuan also put on the faceless mask that he received from the Ugly-Clothed Monster Emperor.

Now, adorned in black blood armor and a mask, he looked like a demon forbidden guard from a royal court.

At this moment, his figure also shrank, taking on a human appearance.

"I currently look like a big villain."

The faceless mask could temporarily block the perception of outlandish evildoers.

The Ugly-Clothed Monster Emperor’s predecessor was a highly gifted genius.

Such genius was detested by the outlandish evildoers who hung meat hooks from the sky, extracting his flesh leaving only his skin behind.

Having the faceless mask, the Ugly-Clothed Monster Emperor was able to block the outlandish evildoers’ perception.

Pity though, he stepped into the forbidden garments tainted by the outlandish evildoers, rushing to break into the Heavenly Domain, his flesh was extracted by the meat hooks.

Presently, Qi Yuan was a Level 99 strongman, and as he walked among humans, he was noticed by outlandish evildoers.

Thus, he had put on the faceless mask.

He carried his huge sword, looking towards the southeast.

An enormous Gu Qi Chun tree came into sight.

"Thousands of miles away, alas, there’s no Spirit Boat here, and I don’t know how to build one. And even if I did, it’d be useless. Looks like I have to walk."

The game world and the real world are two different worlds.

In the game world, martial arts lead the way.

In the real world’s Vast Wave Realm, it’s the path of immortality.

The cultivation techniques in the game world won’t make one an edible target if practiced.

Unfortunately, in the real world, you can’t practice or draw references from these techniques to supplement the Qi Yuan Sutras.

Qi Yuan was startled when he first tried to borrow from the game world’s cultivation techniques.

He was pretty sure he was going crazy, trying to practice cultivation techniques from a game.

"Let’s go to the ancient Gu Qi Chun tree, the Moon Emperor Dynasty, and mingle!"

Qi Yuan turned into a blood-red trace, heading towards the Gu Qi Chun tree.

However, after an unknown period, Qi Yuan suddenly fell from the sky.

In the desert, human bodies were hung on dried and withered tree trunks. There were about fifteen bodies under the fierce sun, looking like dried corpses.

The bodies seemed small, appearing much like children.

Vultures were tearing at their flesh as if it was rotten meat from a garbage dump.

Upon Qi Yuan’s arrival, the vultures flapped their wings and flew away.

Qi Yuan looked at the seemingly tender, thin, and desiccated bodies. By his estimation, the eldest might be eleven or twelve and the youngest, three months old infants. And there were quite a few of them.

Seemingly brutally murdered, their bodies were left in the wilderness to rot.

He glanced at the sun in the sky.

"It’s not right to leave them under such a hot sun."

With a wave of Qi Yuan’s hand, all of the tree trunks sank, burying themselves in sandy soil.

Ordinary humans’ karma dissipates after they die.

"This world is not as wonderful as Jin Li described it."

"Perhaps, it’s just that I’m currently standing in the dark."

Thinking this, Qi Yuan flew back into the sky again.

This time, he flew very high, free from worldly troubles.

The world’s affairs are too many to count and determining right from wrong isn’t easy. Or more precisely, what is right, and what is wrong?

...

A flash of red light appeared briefly.

The Gu Qi Chun tree was not more than a few hundred miles away.

Below him was a town, and Qi Yuan stopped.

There were two things he needed to do in this town.

The first was to ask for directions, to find out where the Moon Emperor Dynasty was. The second was to have a good rest, eat a meal, and change his clothes.

Outside the city wall, there was a long queue.

Qi Yuan landed at the very end.

In front of Qi Yuan was a fat man with a plump and fair complexion.

Qi Yuan looked at the city. The sign read: Kunwu City.

There were several hundreds of people queuing outside the city.

The sun was blazing overhead.

The fat man in front wiped off some sweat.

From his clothing, he appeared to be wealthy.

Qi Yuan stood in silence, his gaze turning towards the other side of the city wall.

Over there was another queue for entering, but it was different. There were few people, akin to a special entry line.

However, the special entry line was not the same as Qi Yuan had thought. It was not for dignitaries.

Instead... it was for the elderly.

Most were above the age of fifty or even sixty years old.

They didn’t have to queue outside the city gates, they could directly enter.

"Kunwu City sure respects the old and cherishes the young. What fine local traditions," Qi Yuan exclaimed.

At this moment, the plump man in front turned around and said, "My friend, are you a foreigner?"

Upon seeing Qi Yuan’s mask, his eyes narrowed as if startled but he quickly recovered, "Your comment earlier, was only half correct."

"Oh? Which half?" inquired Qi Yuan.
