Okusaka Village.
Miyou's residence, still verdant and clear.
But Jun Hei had no mood to appreciate the scenery, he was eager to know how far Miyou had evolved.
"Ah..."
"The Prince's Warrior...?"
Sensing footsteps from the front of the hall, Miyou softly inquired, "Are you... over there?"
Can't you see me?
Jun Hei tentatively asked, "Your... eyes..."
Hearing the wolf's voice, Miyou raised her head in surprise, "Ah... it really is you."
"Prince's Warrior, I... seem to have succeeded in becoming the cradle. Can you hold my hand?"
"Ah..."
Jun Hei paused, then crouched down and slowly took the girl's delicate, slender hand.
An icy chill instantly transferred from the girl's palm to Jun Hei's hand, skin, and reflexes.
"This is...!"
"Cold... like an ice cellar, right?" Miyou said with some excitement. "So, you see... even my tears freeze as they fall. Please accept these frozen tears."
[Frozen Tears
Tears shed by the Varaloya Prince, who has become the 'Cradle'.
These are tears frozen into ice.
If the Prince consumes the Dragon Tears along with these Frozen Tears,
the ritual of the Cradle will be complete.
This is what is meant by 'Cold Dragon Tears'.]
I see, Jun Hei suddenly understood.
So, the cold dragon tears didn't just refer to dragon tears, but a mixture of dragon tears and frozen tears.
"Frozen tears, could it be..."
"Yes." The charming girl preemptively answered, "I think 'cold dragon tears'... refers to consuming these frozen tears along with the dragon tears."
"This way, the Prince will surely be able to reside in the cradle."
Is this all the storylines and preparation procedures for the Dragon's Homecoming?
Looking at Miyou, whose pupils were filling with frost, Jun Hei fell into thought.
He hesitated whether to continue. If he wished, he could choose to sever immortality now, sacrifice himself, and let the Prince become a mortal and live peacefully.
To continue along the Dragon's Homecoming storyline, he had to head to the Immortal Land and obtain the Dragon Tears.
A moment later,
Jun Hei's gaze became firm again, "To the Immortal Land!!"
As the saying goes, since I've come this far!
Since so much preparation has been made, there's no reason to give up.
Can one claim a complete game experience without going to the Immortal Land to fight a dragon?
At least Jun Hei wanted his game experience to be more complete.
Lost in thought, Jun Hei had already arrived before the Buddha statue deep within the Rock Entrance via the demon bell.
Seeing the familiar environment of Misen Village, and recalling the dreamlike experiences of the past two months, Jun Hei sincerely sighed, "Phew... honestly, it's been incredibly difficult to get to where I am today. Thinking about all the challenges I had to overcome along the way, it's like a pilgrimage to the West, one link after another, one quest tied to another, layers upon layers, endless."
"What's even more outrageous is that I managed to grit my teeth and persevere all the way. It wasn't easy, but more importantly, it was filled with a sense of accomplishment, achievement, and an incredibly dreamlike experience."
Unintentional words, but meaningful to the listener.
The viewers who had been following along couldn't stand it, and a wave of comments instantly surged.
'All the bosses: (expletive)'
'Boss: I'm the damn difficult one.'
'You don't seem difficult, I think it's really hard.'
'Watching you sweep through everything, I truly have mixed feelings.'
'The clumsy and brainless players have already died at the Red Guard, and couldn't advance further.'
'So, the Shura ending is just the result of being lazy.'
...
Unknowingly, Jun Hei arrived before the sedan chair stone cave deep within the Rock Entrance.
*Splash!*
Lifting the tattered straw curtain, Jun Hei smoothly entered the sedan chair.
Immediately, his perspective shifted from first-person to a god's-eye view.
He saw:
Inside the sedan chair, Wolf placed the Immortal Blade before him, cross-legged and obediently seated, like a maiden awaiting marriage.
The heavens will rain, the wolf will marry.
Indeed, "Only Daughter," the method of changing maps is so unique.
It's probably the only one in the gaming industry.
*Rumble!!!*
The view slowly pulled up,
Accompanied by an earth-shattering tremor, a beam of light pierced the dim Misen Village, illuminating the sedan chair radiantly.
A hemp rope tens of meters wide descended from the heavens and landed on the stone sedan chair.
Jun Hei's eyelids twitched. So big!
So big a... well, it's impossible to tell what kind of auspicious object it is, but it's astonishingly large!
*Roar~~~~*
Grand background music played, and a majestic creature revealed a tip of its iceberg.
Oh, my god!
What is that?...!!
Hemp rope?
To be precise, it's a hundred-meter-tall 'giant' made of hemp rope!
The Hemp Rope Giant grabbed the stone sedan chair, slowly lifted it, and then walked towards a certain direction.
In just a few steps, it seemed to traverse mountains and seas, and in the blink of an eye, it arrived in the dreamlike 'Immortal Land'.
*Boom!!*
The giant suddenly leaned to the side and rested against the mountain peak, as if it had lost its soul.
Jun Hei's consciousness suddenly returned. Looking down at the bottomless abyss, his heart pounded.
Crawling out from between the 'giant's' fingers, he looked into the distance at the mountain peaks.
Only then did he realize that the giant's body had actually built a bridge.
A bridge leading from the ten-thousand-meter sky to the peak of Fountainhead Palace.
Witnessing such a spectacular scene, Jun Hei finally understood why the priests and villagers of Misen Village yearned for the 'Capital'.
Because the Capital is truly magnificent!
Upon entering, a sense of superiority, like a Celestial Dragon, arose within him!
As if standing on the shoulders of a giant, Wolf looked down upon all beings with disdain!
"I have finally arrived at Fountainhead Palace!"
'Why are you taking screenshots? What are you waiting for!'
'Honestly, this design has a lot of thought put into it.'
'I can only say that the villagers of Misen Village had their reasons for yearning for the Capital.'
'Wolf: I've finally arrived. But the gatekeeper security asks three questions: Who are you? Who are you looking for? What do you want?'
'You understand the Capital.'
'I really didn't expect the Immortal Land to be on the high mountains next to Ashina.'
'Wolf says: Didn't expect it, I'm back again!'
'This isn't the Immortal Land yet, this is Fountainhead Palace. The place where the water flows from, of course, is on the high mountains of Ashina.'
'Give the scarecrow a satisfying hit.'
'Tencent: Feels like it's being implicitly criticized again.'
'A certain goose: Can only get this far without spending money.'
...
"Hahaha, finally it's my turn to show off my skills. Watch me turn the Immortal Land upside down!"
Initially, Jun Hei caused a stir among the various deformed and bizarre small monsters in the Immortal Land, living a carefree life.
Just as he thought his life's peak was about to arrive, the phantom that he couldn't find anywhere on the map appeared.
Come out! Great Serpent, Broken Sin Monk!!!
