Chapter 118 The old man made a slight move, and you were all reduced to ashes!



Chapter 118 The old man made a slight move, and you were all reduced to ashes!

"Great, I'm going to spend money right from the start!" Shen Yun laughed, clicking on all the purchases in a row.

Spending 40 before even entering the game is quite an impressive start!

'Let's try a different red hairstyle...' Shen Yun activated the Feathered Set.

I always wear that white-haired luxury outfit, it's a good time to try out the red-haired style.

[Ding! Character outfit successfully equipped. Player is about to enter the game. (After entering the game, I will provide a built-in language translator.)]

The game interface suddenly transformed into a dazzling vortex.

Shen Yun suddenly felt a wisp of his soul being sucked in.

"I must say, the immersion is really good." He blinked, his eyes fixed expectantly on the dazzling vortex:

'I wonder what kind of character I'll be paired with this time. I just hope it's not some ungrateful bastard like Lu Chen…'

……

"Ancestor Emperor, if you have a spirit in heaven, please look upon your descendants!!"

On the hill behind a village, a dark-skinned boy with red eyes kowtowed forcefully to the unremarkable hill in front of him.

"Less than ten thousand years have passed since your ascension, and the Western Demon Sect has begun to slaughter my race! They make human bones, peel human skin, pull out human tendons, drink human blood, and refine human souls!! Millions of years have passed since then, and my race has been reduced to a mere shadow of its former self!!"

"The Zen Holy Sect of that day was the most vicious. They found the ancient esoteric sect's method of refining human pills and, in order to find the remaining bloodline of my clan to refine pills, they joined forces with other forces to proclaim to the entire Western Realm! They said that my Tu Tian clan was an ancient demonic species, slandering my clan!!"

"My parents were turned into human pills while they were fleeing..." As he said this, the boy's eyes were already filled with tears:

“My elder sister was also severely injured by the evil monk. Her Achilles tendon was severed, and she has been confined to a wheelchair for many years. Every full moon, she suffers the pain of her tendon being severed due to the internal restrictions! I fear she will become a cripple soon... Now, the entire family has less than thirty members, and they all depend on me…”

"My descendants are incompetent, and I am filled with... fear!" The boy's voice choked with sobs. After kowtowing, he did not get up, his hands tightly gripping the soil as his whole body trembled violently.

As the young clan leader, he feared that his long-standing family would be destroyed in his hands.

He was also afraid that these people of his tribe, with whom he lived day and night, would be captured and subjected to inhuman torture.

He couldn't tell these things to anyone else. His sister, who was able to talk to him, also resolutely left the village for the sake of the family and went out to seek a way to make a living for the family.

But the hope is slim.

Filled with repression, he could only come here to confide in the ancestor.

After a long while.

The boy's body stopped trembling, he wiped away his tears and regained his usual determination. He stood up, bowed, and turned to leave.

This tomb is not the place where our ancestor ascended to heaven; it was erected by the clansmen to express their longing and remembrance for their ancestors and sages.

If the Emperor Ancestor had known, he would have arrived much earlier. How could he have waited until now?

Moreover, the clan's ancestors had long ago gone to the place where the Emperor Ancestor ascended to worship, but to no avail.

He came here only to vent his pent-up emotions; afterwards, he still has to face the harsh reality.

'It's pretty bad...' Shen Yun shook his head as he hung in mid-air.

Without sufficient strength to protect them, even descendants of imperial families are at the mercy of others.

"No problem, little brother." Shen Yun smiled confidently, "Now that I'm here, I'll definitely help you take off!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed:

7.4 [Activation Confirmed - True Old Man Ability!]

[Ding! The current scene is a character background introduction. You are now being teleported to the bound character's storage equipment.]

[Ding! Bound Character: Tu Tianshi - Tu Miaoling]

'This dark-skinned young man is called Tu Miaoling? He's very feminine...' Shen Yun muttered to himself, and then suddenly found himself in a chaotic space.

There were also many cultivation supplies placed around.

'A storage space ring...' In just a moment, the gray scene in front of him became transparent, revealing the outside world.

But what you see is a vast expanse of white ravines!

"Ahem, so it's a storage necklace..." Shen Yun coughed lightly.

With his seasoned eye, he felt it was at least a C.

However, due to the restrictions, it may be more than this level.

"Wait, isn't that the dark-skinned boy?" Shen Yun looked around and then noticed a 'transparent mirror' behind him pointing outwards.

'So it was her sister who was linked to her?'

"Pfft~!! Cough cough..." Tu Miaoling, who had fallen to the ground, stared at the woman walking towards her, her mouth bleeding.

"A princess of the dignified Lingtian Buddhist Dynasty, hunting down a cripple like me? How utterly laughable!!"

Lingtian Buddhist Dynasty is a super power in the southern part of the Western Realm.

As monks here, we are required to offer incense and prayers to the Buddha.

But Tu Miaoling knew that once she offered incense, her soul would be branded!

This will lead to brainwashing by the evil Buddha of the Lingtian Buddhist Dynasty, turning them into puppets who would not refuse to contribute their physical bodies to refine magical treasures and would even think they are accumulating blessings for their next life!

Fortunately, she was able to forge the Divine Soul Incense using the family's magic treasure, the Soul Lamp.

But to her utter surprise, she was spotted by the Ninth Princess of the Lingtian Buddhist Dynasty while offering incense at the temple!

"Alright, stop pretending." The Ninth Princess pointed to a gray spirit rat peeking out of the pocket at the waist of the guard beside her.

"This is my spirit beast, the Treasure-Seeking Rat. Hand over the treasure if you know what's good for you! Otherwise..."

Four guards around her nocked their spirit bows and aimed them directly at Tu Miaoling!

'Damn it!!' Tu Miaoling frowned deeply. It was rumored that the Ninth Princess of the Buddhist Dynasty was vicious.

If she hands over the treasure, she might be killed by the other party!

'But if we don't hand it in now, we're doomed!' Tu Miaoling had no choice.

However, she dared not hand over the Soul Lamp, a magical artifact capable of forging incense offerings from the soul, immediately.

Because this matter concerns the entire Tu Tian clan.

'If she keeps pressing me, I'll risk my life to protect the secret of the Soul Lamp!!' With that thought, she tossed out a green calligraphy brush.

"The treasure has been handed over. Surely such a great Buddhist dynasty wouldn't make things difficult for a weak woman like me?"

As she spoke, she maneuvered the wheelchair beneath her to move backward at high speed!

"An eighth-tier Azure Lotus Spirit-Gathering Brush?!" The Ninth Princess noticed the spirit rat at her waist squeaking incessantly, and a golden light flashed in her eyes:

"Hmph, a mere cultivator, yet you possess quite a few treasures! I suspect you stole a priceless treasure from our dynasty! Kill her!!"

"You shameless!!" Tu Miaoling's face turned ashen with anger!

But soon, all her anger turned into a long sigh:

'Alas, in the end, I could not let Tu Tianshi live a peaceful life...'

She had given up hope of revenge.

Now all I want is to find a peaceful and stable life for Tu Tianshi.

But she is powerless to do anything about it now.

Just as Tu Miaoling was about to self-destruct and destroy the strange treasure soul lamp in her mind, her eyes suddenly widened.

Because a calm voice echoed in her mind:

"I've been asleep for so long, it's a good time to stretch my muscles after waking up, young friend, don't panic."

Shen Yun, dressed in light clothing, looked at the recharge notification in front of him:

[Ding! Character Tu Miaoling is in danger. Recharge to avoid danger!]

[Spend 18,888 to purchase the Heaven-Shattering Thunderbolt! A single bolt of lightning annihilates four Transcendent Realm guards and the Ninth Princess!]

[After spending 78,888 on the first recharge, the player obtained the [Grandpa's Slight Gift], temporarily raising their cultivation to Half-Saint. With a wave of their hand, they slew five people, displaying the demeanor of a master!]

[After making a first-time recharge of 198,888, the player has acquired the [Enhanced Version - Grandpa], temporarily raising their cultivation level to the fifth level of the Saint Realm! Their aura is now fully unleashed, exuding unparalleled power!]

'Grandpa, with just a little effort, I can grind you to dust!' Tap, tap, tap, Shen Yun tapped and recharged everything.
