Cultivation Online novel Chapter 79

Chapter 79 - Pagoda Of Tranquility

’So Brother Tian is actually the mysterious Player Yuan, huh...’ Yu Rou thought to herself with a subtle smile on her face as she rested her head on Yuan’s chest as they soared across the sky on a flying sword. ’No wonder why I was so interested in his identity. Maybe I somehow knew that it was my brother, hence why I took interest in him in the first place...’

’As for Player Yuan being a little girl, it must be Xiao Hua that they’re talking about since they are always together. How did they even mistake her for my brother?’

’If mother and father learn about this, they will probably be shocked... but I cannot tell them, or they might try to take advantage of brother again, and I cannot allow him to suffer anymore...’

Yu Rou lifted her head slightly to look at Yuan’s handsome face again, and he looked much better than before, as he felt as though the invisible mountain on his shoulders had disappeared after telling Yu Rou the truth.

’Player Yuan... the only player in the world with a Divine-grade and Heaven-grade technique... He also has a Divine-grade servant... Hmm?’

Yu Rou suddenly realized something, and she opened her mouth to speak, "Brother, you have a Divine-grade servant right? What does it look like? Can you summon it for me to see later?"

"Uhh..." Yuan turned to look at Xiao Hua and said, "I’m pretty sure you have already met her..."

Yu Rou also turned to look at Xiao Hua, her gaze filled with shock.

"What?! Xiao Hua is the Divine-grade Servant?! Humans can also be Servants?! I had no idea that was even possible!" Yu Rou exclaimed after learning this shocking information.

"No wonder why she’s following you around despite her crazy cultivation level! You sure are lucky to find someone like her, brother!" Yu Rou said to him.

However, Xiao Hua shook her head and said, "No, Xiao Hua is the lucky one to have met Brother Tian."

"You can call me Yuan again, Xiao Hua," Yuan said to her.

"Okay, Brother Yuan." Xiao Hua nodded, feeling more familiar with this name.

"Brother, can you tell me about your adventures as Yuan?" Yu Rou asked him sometime later, and she continued, "I would love to know the story behind Player Yuan’s achievements."

Yuan nodded and said, "Of course."

He proceeded to tell her about his adventure since he started the game. He began the story with how he met Xiao Hua. Then he told her about his encounter with these two experts fighting each other in the sky before his adventures at the Flying Sword Sect. Then he recalled what happened at the auction house and how he managed to unlock the Wealth Leaderboards, becoming the richest player in the game instantly. He told her about the dangers of this world and how he encountered and killed the Demonic Spider. And lastly, he spoke about what happened at Pang City and how he defended the city from tens of thousands of monsters, eventually slaying the Mountain Lord and becoming the hero of an entire city.

Yu Rou held a shocked face as she listened to his ridiculous story that sounded like a fantasy, yet her heart was filled with admiration for Yuan, who managed to achieve so many unbelievable things in such a short time.

"What a crazy adventure you’ve experienced, brother. It’s like you started your adventure in the endgame while everyone else started from the very beginning. If not for you, I would still be doing gathering quests right now and probably for the rest of the week."

"What about your goals, brother? What do you hope to achieve in this game?" Yu Rou then asked him.

"I originally wanted to just explore this world at my own pace and have fun together with you, but now..." Yuan paused for a moment before continuing, "I want to become strong and raise my cultivation base so that nobody can bully us like what happened when those players tried to rob us."

"Then my goal is to become strong enough so that I won’t slow you down, Mr. Player Yuan!" Yu Rou chuckled.

Yuan smiled and said, "Like I said, Yu Rou. You don’t have to worry about that. I’ll play with you regardless of how far you are behind, and I am also going to do my best to assist you."

"Un! Now that I know your real identity, I won’t be humble about it any longer!" she laughed.

A few hours later, they reached Nature City, landing a few miles from the city because Yu Rou didn’t want them to attract too much attention with their flying abilities.

After paying the entrance fees, Yu Rou asked the guards by the entrance, "Do you know where Pagoda of Tranquility is?"

"Yes, if you walk straight down this road, you will arrive at this 3-story pagoda in about 10 minutes." One of the guards quickly answered her question with a slightly bashful expression on his face after seeing Yu Rou’s pretty face.

"Thank you!" Yu Rou said with a blinding smile, and the guard felt as though an arrow had pierced his heart.

Once they knew which way to go, Yuan and the other two began making their way to the Pagoda of Tranquility.

Sometime later, they arrived at this luxurious pagoda that gave a similar atmosphere to Cultivators’ Haven.

"Let’s go inside," Yuan said as he entered the building.

"Welcome to Pagoda of Tranquility! How many I help you all today?" The receptionist behind the counter waved at them.

"I’d like to rent a room," Yuan said.

"Which floor would you like a room in? The higher floors will have a higher quality formation, improving the effects and your concentration."
