Chapter 1042 Arriving at Third Heaven
After being teleported out of the Stairway to Heaven by Tianer, Yuan and the others found themselves somewhere in the middle of a green valley surrounded by mountains and trees.
Looks like we have arrived safely. I was worried about the possibility of appearing in the middle of an ocean, or worse, at the bottom of one. Chu Liuxiang said as she looked around.
Is everyone here? Yuan looked around to make sure that nobody had strayed from the group.
Chu Liuxiang, Meixiu, Li Jinxi, Xiao Hua, Feng Yuxiang, and Li Jinxi all six of them were there.
Since weve been inside the Stairway to Heaven for longer than Id anticipated, I am going to take a few days break. Well figure out our location and where we should go afterward. Yuan said to them.
Okay. Xiao Hua and the other two servants returned to his body before Yuan logged off with Meixiu and the others.
After logging off, the first thing Yuan noticed was Meifeng, who was cleaning his room at this moment.
Welcome back. Meifeng said when she noticed them removing their consoles.
Im back. Yuan smiled.
I cant believe that youd actually stayed inside Cultivation Online for over a month without any breaks. Are you feeling okay? Meifeng asked him.
Yes, I am perfectly fine. He nodded.
And he continued, But my stomach is not. Im starving...
Ill go cook some food right now. Meifeng stopped cleaning the room and rushed to the kitchen.
Im going to take a shower. He said to Chu Liuxiang after Meifeng left the room.
Ill come with you! Chu Liuxiang said as she hopped off the bed and rushed into the bathroom.
Yuan followed her a moment later.
Y-Yuan! Your body! Chu Liuxiang suddenly exclaimed when she got a clearer look at his appearance after he entered the bathroom.
My body? Yuan looked down at his body to see that itd become more refined and detailed. Furthermore, he noticed that he was a little taller than before.
The Perfect Tempering Ginseng has affected your real body as well! Chu Liuxiang said with an excited smile on her face.
Im not surprised, considering how powerful the treasure was. He smiled as well.
Since its been awhile, let me be the first to have a taste of your new body... hehe... Chu Liuxiang suddenly said with a lustful expression on her face.
Yuan was speechless, but he didnt reject her.
After a quick shower, Chu Liuxiang pulled Yuan into the bathtub with her, where they would spend over an hour embracing each other.
Once they were both satisfied, they took another shower to wash off the sweat before leaving the bathroom and getting changed.
By the time they arrived at the dining room, Meixiu and the others were already sitting around the table.
Welcome back, Yuan, and congratulations on passing the trial. Wang Xiuying said to him.
Thank you.
Yuan, theres something you should know. Meixiu suddenly said to him with a weird expression on her face.
What happened?
I just heard about it, but...
Meixiu proceeded to tell him about the player massacre that had occurred shortly after they ascended to Third Heaven.
Seriously...? Yuan was speechless after hearing the news. He didnt think the Seven Legacy Families and the Ji Family would attack indiscriminately.
Hmm? Is it just me or is there something different about you, Yuan? Wang Ming suddenly said.
Youre right... He seems a little taller than before. Wang Bingbing agreed with him.
Yuan... Dont tell me the Perfect Tempering Ginseng had... Meixiu swallowed nervously after the others mentioned it, as she was already used to seeing Yuan in his new body in Cultivation Online, so she didnt immediately notice.
The same went for Li Jinxi, whose mouth opened slightly after seeing his new physique.
Long story short, I consumed a powerful treasure during the trial, and it was strong enough to affect my real body in this world as well. Yuan explained the situation to the members.
My god... Youre like a different person. Shi Lang muttered in a dazed voice.
Well, it was a really rare treasure that only existed during the Primordial Era. Theres a good chance that the treasure I consumed was the last one in existence... Yuan said with a smile.
Anyways, tell me more about this massacre. What is the situation now?
Theres not much happening. The players that tried to ascend were attacked the moment they left the Stairway to Heaven. Hundreds of players died because of this incident, and the players are no longer willing to ascend for the time being. Xi Murong explained.
That reminds me... What about you guys? I was just about to ask Meixiu before the two of you arrived. Were you guys also attacked? People online are speculating that you were also killed in the ambush. Wu Zao asked.
No, we werent attacked, but thats because we knew about it in advance and left the Stairway to Heaven in another way. In fact, I am the reason for the attack... Yuan sighed.
Huh? Youre responsible for the massacre? They all looked at him with wide eyes.
He nodded and proceeded to explain to them about his situation with the Seven Legacy Families and the massacre that had occurred right before he entered the Stairway to Heaven.
Because of what I did to their families in Spirit Heaven, they had set up that ambush for me... I shouldve warned the players before I entered the Third Heaven, but it didnt occur to me at that time. He shook his head with a guilty expression on his face.
Well, whats done is already done. These players were being foolish to begin with I mean, why would they ascend when they dont have the qualifications in the first place? They wouldve died sooner or later, anyway. Wang Ming shrugged his shoulders, unable to pity the players that had been killed.
Probably, but they didnt deserve to be killed in such a fashion. Yuan sighed.
