Chapter 131 Lingjing Malfunction
Two days before the Kill Instance. In the Moling Sect’s Mechanical City instance, Zhang Yuanqing and the Three Dao Mountain Granny were locked in fierce combat. Both sides eschewed spells, focusing solely on forging weapons with the power of the Sun God and battling with martial skills.
Zhang Yuanqing's attack style was domineering and wild, his movements broad and unrestrained. The old hag, on the other hand, was outwardly soft but inwardly strong, her feathered robes fluttering like a startled swan.
It was like a high-and-cold fairy in a Wuxia story encountering a lecherous villain during her travels. The villain was both domineering and fierce, acting as if he would not rest until he had bedded the fairy.
The old hag would sometimes press close for a quick attack, and other times leap away to launch ranged shots. Zhang Yuanqing, switching weapons at will, deftly defused her attacks.
After a long period of melee combat, the old hag was the first to stop, nodding her head in satisfaction. "Rapid progress. You are one of the most talented Night Watchers I have ever seen!"
Zhang Yuanqing was overjoyed, but then asked, "Who else has Master seen with such talent as I?"
The old hag said with a straight face, "This very master!"
Zhang Yuanqing immediately bowed his head in worship. "Master has discerning eyes!"
Not far away, the Silver Sea Princess was busy using her Cat King audio equipment to record this shameless conversation.
The old hag said, "Your Pure Yang Body Cleansing Record has already reached the hall, and there will be no further progress in the short term. You may return."
Zhang Yuanqing looked at the Silver Sea Princess. "Should this sinful disciple stay to accompany Master, or shall I take her away?"
The old hag frowned and corrected him. "She is your senior sister."
Zhang Yuanqing followed her lead. "How should we dispose of this sinful senior sister?"
The old hag turned her body. "Out of sight, out of mind."
So Zhang Yuanqing grabbed the sinful senior sister by the back of her neck, left the Lingjing, and returned to reality.
Back at the dormitory, Zhang Yuanqing sent the Silver Sea Princess off to play computer games, and transformed into starlight to go to Guan Ya's room.
Guan Ya was not in her room. A phone call revealed that she, Sun Miaomiao, Zhao Chenghuang, and others were sparring in the combat room on the 92nd floor, honing their skills!
Receiving a call from her boyfriend, Guan Ya happily abandoned her companions and returned to her room. Zhang Yuanqing looked at the sweat-drenched mixed-race beauty and smiled. "After several days of hard work, I have accumulated a lot of savings and am about to hand them over to my wife."
Guan Ya was suspicious. "Why are you talking so refined and bookish?"
Then, she took off her loose practice clothes, her white skin contrasting sharply with her black lace lingerie, creating an explosive visual impact. "I'm going to take a shower first."
"Iku iku."
Zhang Yuanqing followed her, taking off his clothes. In the half hour in the bathroom, Guan Ya was pinned against the wall, barely able to come down.
Zhang Yuanqing left refreshed, while she leaned against the wall, her legs weak, raising her head to accept the shower's cleansing spray.
Zhang Yuanqing, wrapped in a bathrobe, leaned against the headboard and took out his little jester, asking the round and adorable baby to fetch his phone from next door.
He wanted to browse the internet to pass the time, but unexpectedly saw a message from Fu Qingyang. Qian Gongzi mentioned in the message that Huang Taiji had been limited by his profession for two years, failing in every attempt to break through the Kill Instance.
Although he was stubborn, this matter of promotion had become a knot in his heart. Qian Gongzi, thinking of their years of friendship, hoped that Yuan Shi Tianzun, as his adopted son, could help him a little, to fulfill his filial duty!
Zhang Yuanqing was in a dilemma, because he knew that Yin Ji had also participated in the Kill Instance many times, but with only three slots, she had never been able to advance.
Yin Ji had gone through several life-and-death experiences with him, and they had a very good personal relationship. The big sister was gentle and kind, and although she already had someone she loved, as a friend, he also wanted to help this confidante. On the right was a father's love as heavy as a mountain. It was difficult to choose.
If there were more slots, that would be great. Hmm, perhaps I could try to take up a slot in the First District.
Zhang Yuanqing suddenly had this thought and immediately became excited. With the revival entering the second stage, he was already clear about the next stage of the Phantom God's Heart's ability.
The next stage corresponds to the level 7 skill of the Ruler stage: Emptiness. It is also the core ability of the Illusionist in the Ruler stage, and the Ruler-level Illusionist is called a Nullifier.
The Nullifier's ability is to return existing matter and energy to nothingness, while the Phantom God's authority over Emptiness can turn matter, energy, and rules into nothingness. He could ask the president to loosen the seal, allowing the revival to advance further and completely unlock the "Emptiness" skill. Then, when the Kill Instance opened, he could nullify the rules that prevent cross-server access. Once he entered the Lingjing Kill Instance, the mechanism would seal the heart at the Ruler stage.
Power exceeding the Saint stage cannot be used in the instance. Thinking about it, if the Phantom God could nullify the rules of the Lingjing, then the Phantom Gods of the Emptiness Church would be rampant. They might even personally blow him and Qian Gongzi to smithereens in the mid-year Kill Instance, and would never allow growth.
Administrator privileges might be able to do it. After all, the Evil professions are not management. It seems it won't work.
Zhang Yuanqing sighed!
At this moment, Guan Ya came out of the bathroom with a flushed face, and said to Zhang Yuanqing, who was brushing his phone, "There's something I want you to help me with."
Guan Ya collapsed wearily on the bed, placing her long, white legs on his lower abdomen. "What is it?"
"There are only three slots for the Kill Instance. I've taken one. Who should I give the other one to?" He stroked his girlfriend's smooth and tight jade legs. "Xiao Yuan must have one. I'm hesitating between Yin Ji and Huang Taiji."
"Huang Taiji!" Guan Ya said without hesitation.
"Why?"
"Because he's a man," Guan Ya rolled her eyes.
"Speak properly. Don't be sarcastic." Zhang Yuanqing slapped her plump, round butt.
Guan Ya groaned softly and straightened her face. "Huang Taiji's grandfather is the Grand Elder Di Hong, and his great-grandfather is the Lord of the Central Plains. You're helping him advance to the Ruler stage. It's a kindness as great as rebirth. The Central Plains faction will owe you a favor in the future. Even if the Central Plains doesn't appreciate it, Huang Taiji will have to. If he can advance to the Ruler stage, it's certain that he will hold power in the Five Elements Alliance."
"Yin Ji? Her teacher is the Red Tassel Elder, and that's all. You already have enough connections in the Taiyi Sect with Sun Miaomiao and Zhao Chenghuang."
Zhang Yuanqing frowned, without replying.
"You're still hesitating?" Guan Ya immediately frowned.
In her opinion, this was a choice that could be made without hesitation. If you want to have a say in this world, connections in all aspects are equally important. Otherwise, why would the Demigods form forces?
However, she didn't want Yuan Shi to help Yin Ji. Of course, she couldn't do without the little thoughts of a woman. Yin Ji's fame was well-known, her personality was good, and she had a few grudges and entanglements with this kid. Guan Ya was very wary of her.
"I guess that's the only way!" Zhang Yuanqing sighed.
In the following days, Zhang Yuanqing put down his cultivation and rolled around in bed with Guan Ya, and strolled around New Covenant County. He also paid attention to the changes in the situation. From time to time, he had to go out to sea with the Palace Master and discuss the general trend of the world with the resurrected Saints. It was leisurely and fulfilling.
Finally, in the increasingly cold weather, the time came to December 15th, the Kill Instance descended.
[Ding! A large-scale Kill Instance is open. Do you want to participate?]
In the bedroom, Zhang Yuanqing, who was ready to go, received the Lingjing prompt.
"Participate!"
The entire Lingjing was as vast and boundless as the universe, with shining stars representing individual instances. These stars revolved around a round moon and a blazing sun. Their bodies were infinitely large. In comparison to the Taiyin and Sun, the instances were as small as dust. In that bright round moon, a pair of huge eyes were faintly closed, their outlines blurred.
Suddenly, those eyes abruptly opened and looked down at the entire Lingjing space. A touch of pitch black dyed the center of the bright moon and spread rapidly, gradually devouring the round moon.
Soon, the huge black moon was completely obscured, turning into a giant vortex. The sun stirred the entire starry sky, causing the stars symbolizing the instances to rotate erratically and fall into chaos.
At the same time, darkness continued to spread, obscuring one Lingjing instance after another, as if to turn this vast starry sky into a dark and lightless world.
At the critical moment, the dust-like instances scattered like stars emitted a strong light, and the starlight gathered to form a brilliant galaxy, blocking the darkness from devouring them.
"Hmph." A cold tone came from the Taiyin. "Father, you can't stop me. Concealment is the supreme authority, and your domain lies in deduction."
The darkness suddenly intensified, slowly but surely devouring the stars one by one.
[Ding! The Lingjing map is opening. Entering the Lingjing in 30 seconds!]
The Lingjing map is opening. Entering the Lingjing in 30 seconds...
The Lingjing map is opening. Entering the Lingjing in 30 seconds...
Eh?
Zhang Yuanqing listened to the repeated Lingjing prompts in his ear, looking astonished.
"What's going on? Is the Lingjing crashing? Is my internet lagging?"
This was an unprecedented phenomenon. The repeated prompts continued for eighteen minutes. Zhang Yuanqing couldn't help but pick up his phone on the table and open the forum.
Sure enough, he saw a post at the top of the homepage:
#Something Big Happened, The Kill Instance Cannot Be Opened, The Lingjing Is Suspected Of Malfunctioning#
"It's not just me who encountered this situation. I was scared to death. I thought I had too many cheats, and the Lingjing blocked me."
Zhang Yuanqing breathed a solid sigh of relief, and then clicked on the post to view the information!
