Chapter 282: Chapter 273: Using the Face as a Signboard!

Just posted two simple pictures, then set off a huge wave on the forum.

Just made a simple appearance on the street and floated away, then was captured and posted on the forum by players causing a surge of discussion.

Leave quietly after the event, deeply hiding one’s identity and name.

Ah, this uninteresting life of showing off.

Why play games if you aren’t going to show off?

While other players were still discussing fervently, Bai Xiaomo and his companion had already long used the Transmission Array to leave Qingliang City.

"Ugh!"

Liang Yi and the old man named Ju looked helplessly at Bai Xiaomo who was retching beside the Transmission Array.

Tears came out as Bai Xiaomo retched; he was originally curious about the Transmission Array, not expecting such a severe physical reaction like getting motion sickness.

Unable to stand it any longer, Liang Yi casually used a small Daoist Skill to remove the abnormal state from Bai Xiaomo.

"Eh, I’m not nauseous anymore?" Bai Xiaomo was startled for a moment, looked down at his hands, and suddenly felt a sense of relief throughout his body as the nauseous feeling in his stomach disappeared.

"No, you’ve always been pretty nauseous." Ju Xiaobei coldly interjected.

"Why are you fine?"

"Maybe because I’m handsome."

"Both of you, long time no see!"

Liang Yi clapped his hands, his face full of a friendly smile, drawing the attention of both to him.

"Boss Liang, we’ve been looking so hard for you!"

Bai Xiaomo and Ju Xiaobei eyed the pleasant and handsome, slender young man in front of them; his eyes sparkled like stars in the night sky, and his tied-up black hair exuded an unspeakable suave and dashing aura, his ethereal temperament inevitably made them feel good while also unconsciously a bit awe.

Although Liang Yi was handsome, he wasn’t to the extent of having special effects naturally, it was all an illusion automatically generated by his full value charm and his innate Purple Mist body.

"I was thinking of introducing you to the Chief of Complete Heaven Sect and getting you into the Mountain Gate after that matter, but you abnormal people mysteriously vanished without a trace."

Liang Yi talked lightly, his gentle tone making Bai Xiaomo and his friend feel very comfortable.

"Haha, it couldn’t be helped." Bai Xiaomo laughed it off, he couldn’t really explain such matters, not to mention saying I’m from a different world, and you guys are just NPCs in a game, right?

"Yeah, it’s fine as long as you’re back." Liang Yi nodded lightly, brushing past the topic and shifted to another matter.

"Since you’ve come here, I presume you’ve made up your minds, really giving up joining Complete Heaven Sect to enter Purple Cloud Sect?"

"Yes, we have decided."

Bai Xiaomo and Ju Xiaobei had been eyeing the adorable orange cat on Boss Liang’s shoulder; hearing Boss Liang mention serious matters, they responded with excitement yet slight restraint.

"Alright, since that’s the case, I’ll take you to the Steward Hall in our sect to handle the entry procedures for you, I believe you will definitely not be disappointed in the future!"

Liang Yi nodded satisfactorily, as usual, painted a big enticing picture for these two newbies, completely dazzling them.

"Wow!!"

When Bai Xiaomo and his friend stepped out from the Transmission Array side of Purple Cloud Sect and saw the full view of Purple Cloud Sect for the first time, they were so shocked their jaws almost dropped.

Could this be... the Immortal Realm?

Instinctively, Bai Xiaomo turned on the system’s built-in video recording function, capturing the sect scene that resembled an Immortal Realm.

The towering Immortal Mountain truly gave Bai Xiaomo and his friend a direct sense of what divine essence means, previously it was said, "A mountain isn’t considered high unless an immortal resides in it."

But the sight of this endlessly tall Immortal Mountain made them believe that there must be immortals inside, maybe more than one.

The vast expanses of Purple Mist shook their spirits, and then the faintly visible Golden Dragon, Hua Feng, and other kinds of immortal bird illusions around the mountains brightened their eyes even more, almost making them wish to immediately grab them as pets.

In the sky, figures continuously transformed into tunneling light flying out; Sword Immortals flew in; Taoists breathed in and produced dazzling golden Spiritual Energy Storms; Body Cultivators in the Nine Heavens used Heavenly Thunder to temper their bodies.

Sitting above the clouds and facing the entire Purple Cloud Sect to preach, that shadow especially stirred them emotionally, that figure is...

Maximizing the figure in the video function, the distant figure also gradually became clear.

"Boss Liang, holy shit!"

From this great distance, the figure didn’t look all that large, but in reality, they were about the size of a speck of dust on the figure in the clouds.

"Damn, that’s some presence, huh?" Ju Xiaobei swallowed hard, eyes wide with amazement.

A normal human face, if magnified countless times, would undoubtedly show various flaws, no matter how beautiful it was before. But Boss Liang’s face was different—it was flawlessly perfect, that’s the only way Ju Xiaobei could describe it.

Unlike the approachable, humane Liang Yi they knew,

The Liang Yi preaching from the clouds above carried a more indifferent expression, more sacred and elusive, stirring an innate desire to kneel in reverence.

The Transmission Array was located on the mountainside opposite the half-stick of incense’s distance from Purple Cloud Sect. Right after emerging from the Transmission Array, Ju Xiaobei and his companion noticed a bunch of yellow-named creatures around them; tigers, deer, bears, leopards, all kinds. The lowest level among them was in their twenties, and some even displayed a question mark just like Boss Liang.

These diverse creatures, full of spiritual wisdom, were kneeling on the ground facing the half-figure of Liang Yi in the clouds, listening to his teachings directed at the entirety of Purple Cloud Sect. Upon seeing Liang Yi coming out with others, they showed even more respect and reverence.

"Boss, what are they doing?" Bai Xiaomo asked, feeling a strange satisfaction as he watched the myriad creatures neatly kneeling.

"They are all protective spirit beasts of our Purple Cloud Sect. Though they have basic spiritual intelligence, they are still some distance away from transforming into the Demon Clan. But if they could comprehend something from the doctrines of Purple Cloud Sect, it would significantly shorten their transformation time."

After nodding at the surrounding spirit beasts, Liang Yi no longer paid them any attention and continued leading Bai Xiaomo and the others deeper into the sect.

"You guys should listen more too, who knows, you might have some realizations and gain some opportunities."

Bai Xiaomo eagerly tried to listen but couldn’t hear anything; Ju Xiaobei was the same.

"This voice of the Great Dao is only meant for Purple Cloud Sect and its disciples. Since you two haven’t joined Purple Cloud Sect or studied the Purple Cloud Technique yet, naturally you can’t hear it," Liang Yi said, looking at their anxious expressions, and couldn’t help but chuckle.

Bored, the big cat on Liang Yi’s shoulder snorted coldly in disdain. What voice of the Great Dao? It was just some scraps of understanding about the Heavenly Dao squeezed out from him—it could only fool these naive newbies.

Although listening over time could yield some benefits, those were also temporary. Only cultivators who had begun a preliminary understanding of the Great Dao and were gifted spiritual geniuses could truly benefit from it.

For a cultivator of that status, these bits of Great Dao insight were nothing, not even worth considering as knowledge by analogy, so the big cat felt it was only good enough to fool players who relied solely on experience to level up and could not fathom the true essence of the techniques.

Along the way, Bai Xiaomo and Ju Xiaobei maintained a high level of fascination and curiosity. If Qingliang City directly showed what city life was like in the Cultivation World, then Purple Cloud Sect really made them understand what sect life in the Cultivation World was about.

This was a wholly novel experience which actually came closer to their imagination of cultivation.

Whether it was top-level cultivators whisking past in tunneling lights above or the orderly ordinary disciples around them striving for enlightenment, everything made Bai Xiaomo and his friend feel a sense of reality as if all these people and events truly existed.

For virtual friends, realism is a very important sensation because it allows players to "stay in character" and maintain an immersive experience.

True full immersion doesn’t exist, of course, because as long as one retains their sanity, they subconsciously know they are playing a game.

But even a semi-immersive game can provide a very good experience. Whether it’s leveling up, acquiring equipment, advancing the plot, or interacting with various NPCs, all these are aspects players value greatly.

Throughout their journey, aside from the disciples greeting Liang Yi, they also showed slight curiosity towards the presence of Bai Xiaomo and Ju Xiaobei. But Bai Xiaomo and Ju Xiaobei were used to it; it was perfectly normal for Abnormal People to be stared at like this.

What puzzled them, however, was the background information they knew: Liang Yi was supposed to be the eldest disciple of the Banished Immortal from Taoist Sect, belonging to the same sect as Su Youyi. So how come he suddenly transformed into the Sect Leader of Purple Cloud Sect?

And Purple Cloud Sect seemed really impressive; why had they never heard of it before?

With a belly full of questions, Bai Xiaomo and Ju Xiaobei followed Liang Yi into the Steward Hall.

What immediately dazzled them upon entering, aside from the grandiose and magnificent architectural style of the Steward Hall, was the voluptuous, smiling sister-like steward attending to them—they couldn’t take their eyes off her.

"Sect Leader!"

"These two Abnormal People once helped me significantly. Following their wishes, I’ve brought them to join the sect. Please, let’s process their admission."

"Sure, Sect Leader!" The beautiful steward emerged from behind the counter, flipped her hair, and showed off her dazzling long legs, nearly stunning Bai Xiaomo and Ju Xiaobei.

"Ohhh!" Bai Xiaomo made an unintelligible noise, his face reddening as the beautiful woman came closer.

Ju Xiaobei quickly moved several steps to the right, turning his head away as if he didn’t know this embarrassing companion.

But it wasn’t really Bai Xiaomo’s fault for reacting so strongly; after all, he was still a pure-hearted young man, never even held a girl’s hand—tragically inexperienced!

And the ethereal aura of a cultivator woman just struck Bai Xiaomo once more, almost unilaterally declaring his descent into love.

Ju Xiaobei didn’t feel this way because he always believed in notions like "wise men don’t fall in love" and "one can only have either games or women." With his reasonably handsome face and substantial family wealth, Ju Xiaobei had had more than his fair share of girlfriends, so he naturally had an immunity Bai Xiaomo couldn’t match.

"Come here, boys, let your sister check you," the long-legged steward beamed sweetly at them.
