Chapter 332 Ascension is a hoax!
The deadline Li Muyang announced made everyone's faces even uglier; this... was truly a hopeless situation!
If they had more time, they might have had a chance to unite the forces of the entire world, but...
It could take as little as one year or as long as ten years?
It would be good enough if they could unite their respective countries!
"Uniting the forces of the entire world is definitely not enough, so I have prepared another plan," Li Muyang said slowly. "However, this plan is very dangerous! It's like asking a tiger for its skin! If it's not handled properly, our world will suffer a devastating blow far ahead of time!"
It must be said, there are still some smart people!
"You mean... these extraterrestrials?" Liu Yan, also known as the Emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty, asked with a bright look in his eyes, having previously attended the reopening ceremony of Wuxiang City.
Li Muyang nodded and said, "That's right!"
"Hiss... But didn't you say that these extraterrestrials called players are the ones who descended into this world?" Li Shimin asked in surprise.
“That’s right!” Li Muyang didn’t beat around the bush and readily admitted it. He then explained, “However! These players are different! The other party did indeed bring players to this world, but these players can become our world’s last hope.”
"Because these players are not entirely manipulated by the other side! The other side wants to use the players to stir up or incite the world's fortune, which is actually an opportunity for us! It's easier to unite, and most importantly, these players have self-awareness! They are not loyal to this mastermind!"
"So, in other words, players are worth trying to win over?!" Now everyone understood what Li Muyang meant!
Li Muyang nodded: "That's right! However, while you're trying to win them over, you should also be careful not to overdo it. These extraterrestrials can't be categorized as good or evil. They act with a strong sense of purpose. You can try to contact them using this guide."
After saying that, Li Muyang passed on another special memory to everyone... or rather, he pulled them into the game as well.
However, everyone's status is equivalent to an NPC! And a management-level NPC at that! There's a special guide for them!
Since it's a game, it absolutely needs a storyline and quest guidance! That's how you keep players focused and avoid creating unnecessary trouble!
However, Li Muyang's apparent deep understanding of the players aroused doubt and confusion among some people, but they did not say much because they were wary of Li Muyang's methods.
Putting everything else aside, isn't the ability Li Muyang displayed almost exactly the same as the mysterious mastermind he mentioned? Easily dragging them here without any resistance, forcibly implanting memories into them, and even pulling them into a "game system"...
If they don't suspect anything, these foxes, big, medium, and small, must have taken too many brain-dead pills!
Li Muyang naturally knew that the abilities he had displayed had successfully aroused the fear of these guys. He sighed helplessly, "I offered my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shone on the gutter... Haven't you noticed a problem yet? I'm the only one here who has revealed my true face."
Everyone was stunned upon hearing this. They looked around and found that Li Muyang was indeed the only one in this situation.
At that moment, Emperor Liu Yan of the Great Qian Dynasty suddenly realized what was happening! He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Could it be that you are... the Immortal Physician Li Muyang?!"
Huh? Who is this? Apart from the people from Daqian, everyone else looked puzzled.
Liu Yan regretted his words as soon as they left his mouth! Why did he react so strongly? It's Li Muyang, it's Li Muyang! Why did he shout so loudly?
“Young Master Liu… well, you should call me Your Majesty. It’s been a long time.” Li Muyang stood up properly and bowed. “Thank you for taking care of Aunt Bai and the others.”
Liu Yan dared not be negligent in the slightest and hurriedly returned the greeting, saying, "You are too kind, Immortal Physician. Your Excellency has opened up a new path for martial arts for all living beings in the martial world of the Great Qian Dynasty, which is already a great deed. Not to mention that the matter of Wuxiang City is something that the martial world owes to Wuxiang City! I have only done some things that I should have done."
After exchanging pleasantries, Li Muyang asked with some doubt, "Your Majesty, may I ask you something?"
"Please speak freely, Immortal Master."
"Where did this title of 'Immortal Physician' come from?" Li Muyang asked leisurely. He hadn't been to Feng Lingyu Xiu's place for a while, and Lu You hadn't returned either. Bai Yuxiu and the others had come back, but for some reason, they always looked at him strangely and seemed to want to laugh.
Looking back now, it must have been because of that title.
Liu Yan was a little embarrassed upon hearing this. After pondering for a moment, he honestly replied, "Uh... Immortal Master, you broke through the void and entered the Immortal Gate back then..."
"What?! Shattered void?!" Meng Chixing exclaimed in surprise, and the others also turned to look.
Li Muyang waved his hand: "I'll explain that later, Your Majesty, please continue."
"Very well... After you departed, Immortal Master, I thought that as the first person in the martial world with clear records to break through the void and ascend to immortality in hundreds of years, how could you not have a worthy title so that all beings would remember your merits? So I discussed it with You Shuyun, the city lord of Wuxiang City, and gave you the title of Immortal Physician. I also built temples for you throughout the Great Qian Dynasty..."
Li Muyang touched his nose somewhat awkwardly. Oh, so that's how it is! No wonder he was surrounded by a bunch of believers as soon as his main body arrived! It scared him so much that he thought something terrible had happened!
"This... Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I am unworthy of it!" But it was still a token of their goodwill. Even if Li Muyang didn't cultivate with faith, it was better than nothing!
Liu Yan was a little embarrassed: "I made the decision without consulting you. As long as I didn't cause any trouble for you, Immortal Master, that's fine."
"No trouble at all. Although I don't rely on faith and incense for cultivation, it's still of great value to me." Li Muyang waved his hand with a light laugh, holding a jade seal that was absorbing the faith, merit, and incense power of the Great Qian Dynasty.
It was something that fell into his hands when the Administration Bureau system first established contact with him.
However, this thing had been sealed away by Goose Boss until Li Muyang reached the peak of the Fusion Realm and his management authority was upgraded again before it was given to him.
To paraphrase Goose, if you're not at a high enough level, don't mess with things like faith, merit, and incense offerings!
By the way, this jade seal is called the Kongtong Seal.
This is also the first innate spiritual treasure in Li Muyang's possession!
Unfortunately, it's in a severely damaged state. Goose said that this is the Kongtong Seal from Li Muyang's world, which was found by the boss. However, perhaps due to past experiences, it has been damaged beyond recognition. Originally, it was one of the magical treasures that carried the long river of humanity, but now it has lost all of its characteristics.
Fortunately, it hasn't fallen out of the ranks of innate spiritual treasures, and there may be a day when it returns to its former glory. And this thing is just right to bear the power of faith, incense, merit, and so on.
Getting back to the main point, Li Muyang recounted his so-called breaking through the void to everyone.
“Okay, the shattering of the void was fake, and the ascension was a hoax I created to protect Wuxiang City, but I did leave my original world.” Li Muyang shrugged indifferently and said, “Because I was originally a disciple of the Immortal Realm.”
"Huh?" This time it was Liu Yan and Da Qian's group who were shocked, which relieved the others. That made sense!
"In the Great Qian World, the cultivation realms of martial arts are divided into Lesser Vehicle Realm, Greater Vehicle Realm, Grandmaster Realm, Supreme Realm, and Longevity Realm, which correspond to the Acquired, Innate, Grandmaster, Great Grandmaster, and Celestial Realm, respectively. When I left this world, my martial arts realm was only the Longevity Realm."
The people of Daqian twitched their lips, looking at Li Muyang's embarrassed face, speechless.
Dude, you're lying!
You should know that there are quite a few martial artists in the Longevity Realm in the Great Qian Dynasty right now!
Unfortunately, Wuxiang City alone has three of them! Bai Muzhen, Bai Yutang, and Bai Yue! All of them are at the Longevity Realm!
Then there is Master Cixin, Dongfang Yao.
Finally, there was one from the palace.
Although Grandpa He Sui was cured by Li Muyang due to his health condition, he still fell behind in his cultivation over the years, so he is currently only at the peak of the Supreme Realm.
Of all these people at the Supreme Realm, apart from the three from Wuxiang City who knew the truth, everyone else was wondering why they couldn't ascend.
Previously, Li Muyang told the group that the worlds had been merged together. Dongfang Yao and Master Cixin even imagined that the need for ascension had increased after the worlds were merged.
So it turns out Li Muyang lied to them?
Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the four Celestial Beings from the Warring States side sensed something was amiss. They were also Celestial Beings! Even Bei Mingzi and Donghuang Taiyi were at the peak of the Celestial Being Realm! So why was Li Muyang so strong? They were completely helpless against him! Wasn't Li Muyang's ascension only a few years ago?
Wait a minute! Li Muyang said earlier... he himself is a disciple of the Immortal Realm?!
Li Muyang o(′^｀)o: Compared to this place, Earth is practically a celestial realm, right?
The four of them kept quiet and didn't ask, and if the others didn't notice, they didn't notice either!
The next to notice something was wrong were Zhang Sanfeng and Meng Chixing, who were also at the Celestial Realm! Dugu Qiubai and the others also gradually realized something was amiss, but seeing that the other Celestial Realm cultivators didn't ask, they also smiled wickedly and didn't ask either.
Just kidding! In this kind of thing, the nail that sticks out gets hammered down!
Many intelligent people also sensed something was amiss. If Li Muyang was truly only at the Longevity Realm, how could he have managed to gather so many people here, and why were those Celestial Realm experts so quiet? Wasn't it because they were wary? What were they wary of?
Who else could it be but Li Muyang on the high platform? Otherwise, why would Old Li sit higher than them? And why are the others not complaining?
Perhaps the shattering of the void was fake, but Li Muyang's departure from this world was real! And those divine beasts and that Bodhi tree beside him now! These beings radiating divine light! They are all real! Therefore, it's highly likely that Li Muyang was originally from the Immortal Realm!
At the very least, Li Muyang definitely has the strength to crush all of them, the Celestial Realm cultivators!
