Chapter 24 Found You, Brother
"Heaven-Covering Great Hand Seal!"
"Martial Skill: Wind-Chasing Leg!"
"Magic: Fireball Technique!"
As they delved deeper into the World Ruins, the enemies Xu Xi's group encountered became increasingly powerful and troublesome.
The scent of blood permeated the air. Underfoot, one could step on withered bones at any moment, and blood pooled into rivers, flowing wantonly across the scorched earth, soaking corpses until they bloated and their features became unrecognizable.
Along the way, more and more corpses of Demonic Path Cultivators appeared, occasionally mixed with the corpses of Heavenly Sword Sect Cultivators.
This caused Xu Xi to frown deeply.
Most people have experienced dreams.
But whether it is a beautiful dream or a nightmare, no matter how deep the memory, it is ultimately just an illusion.
If a dream were to truly shine into reality,
people would find it grotesque and absurd.
Xu Xi was currently in this state of scalp-numbing shock.
He never imagined that the simulation experience he thought was fake would actually appear in reality and present itself before his eyes in the form of a World Ruins.
Outrageous, simply too outrageous!
"No, I cannot jump to conclusions just yet."
"I need to gather more evidence to verify if this World Ruins comes from the Cultivation World I simulated."
Xu Xi thought to himself.
More and more confusion welled up.
He turned to Wang Dali: "Dali, I will leave this place to you. I need to go deeper alone to investigate the dangers inside the World Ruins."
Wang Dali scratched his head: "Brother Xu, will you be alright on your own?"
Xu Xi replied: "It is fine. Even if I cannot defeat them, I have a way to return."
Wang Dali suddenly understood, then struck a muscle-flexing pose and laughed: "Alright, go ahead. The bond between me and my muscles is invincible!"
"With me here, you can rest assured!"
Having said that,
Wang Dali led the other superhumans and rushed headlong toward the corpse-ghost Cultivators.
Fists roared, Qi and blood boiled, and with pure violence, he smashed all evil spirits to pieces.
It could be said he was killing it.
"It seems I don't need to worry about this place for now."
Xu Xi nodded.
His Golden Core rotated within him, and using his deep magic power, he controlled his Flying Sword. Stepping on the withered vine sword, he rushed into the depths of the mountain of corpses and sea of blood, scanning his surroundings constantly along the way, searching for the evidence he wanted.
Operating alone, Xu Xi's search speed was incredibly swift.
He soon found various pieces of evidence.
For example, the corpses of other Demonic Path Cultivators who had besieged the Heavenly Sword Sect together.
The standard-issue Flying Sword of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
And standard-issue Storage Pouch items, and so on.
"As expected…"
In the sky wreathed in blood energy, the withered vine sword raised a magic barrier, completely blocking the blood rain in the air. Xu Xi fell into deep thought as he looked at the evidence.
"This World Ruins truly comes from the Cultivation World I simulated."
"This is clearly impossible—"
"It actually comes from that world I simulated Transmigration into, which should have been fake."
Xu Xi fell silent.
At first, when he saw the World Ruins, he thought it came from another Cultivation World; later, he felt it came from a similar world.
But after verifying various pieces of evidence,
the source of this World Ruins was undoubtedly the Cultivation World Xu Xi had simulated his Transmigration into.
How could that be!
Wasn't that a fake world created by the simulator!
How could it turn into a real fact and appear on Earth in the form of a World Ruins!
At this moment, Xu Xi suddenly recalled.
The simulator had never said from the beginning that the simulated life was fake; it was just that he subconsciously felt that since it was a simulation, it must be a non-existent fantasy.
Thinking about it carefully now.
Since the simulator could bestow the Heavenly Spiritual Root from the simulated life in a real form.
By analogy.
The life experiences within the simulation could certainly be real, and Xu Xi was just unaware of it before.
"That's it, that is exactly it."
Xu Xi was filled with emotion. He never imagined that the Golden Finger he accidentally obtained would be such a Heaven-Defying cheat.
It could turn simulated experiences into reality.
And directly influence the real world.
"If that is the case, then that child, Mo Li, is also a real, flesh-and-blood person. She truly exists."
"She, whom I saved in the simulation, must be living well now, right? Or perhaps she has already passed away from old age…"
After a long sigh, Xu Xi continued to fly on his Flying Sword.
He searched the mountain of corpses and sea of blood once more.
The source of the World Ruins had been identified.
But how to exterminate it, or stop this filthy land from expanding, remained a huge problem. On this battlefield between the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect, perhaps he could find some intelligence.
For instance, who exactly created such a horrific scene back then.
"I remember when the simulation ended, Mo Li was still very weak. I hope she wasn't affected or hurt by this war, after all, her strength was still very weak at the time."
He worried for the girl subconsciously.
Xu Xi piloted his Flying Sword and flew toward the top of the corpse mountain. Along the way, many ghost Cultivators attacked him—they were all Demonic Path Cultivators who had died back then, and among them, there were many souls at the Nascent Soul level.
"Slash!"
Xu Xi pinched a magic spell.
The withered vine sword split into thousands, instantly forming a dense sea sword formation, trapping the cursing ghost Cultivators and evil spirits within it.
Then he threw out a large number of Talismans, bombarding them with the force of a rainstorm.
He easily opened a path forward.
Upward, climbing, flying over.
With Xu Xi flying his sword at full speed, he soon reached the very top of the mountain of corpses and sea of blood. There, he saw a cold figure with her back to him.
Severed limbs and broken arms fell from beside her, piling up into thousands of skeletons.
Fresh blood and a fishy wind dripped from the tip of her sword, constructing a torrential rain of blood.
One person, one sword.
Standing at the peak of the mountain of corpses and sea of blood.
Slaughtering thousands of demonic Cultivators.
"Who… is that…!"
The icy killing intent caused Xu Xi, who saw her back, to feel an uncontrollable sense of terror, and his body stiffened for a moment.
But the killing intent came and went quickly; in the blink of an eye, it disappeared completely.
What emerged immediately after was an inexplicable familiarity.
Xu Xi became alert, subconsciously wanting to distance himself and stay away from this place of trouble.
However.
Just as his neck turned and the withered vine sword had not yet had time to fly away, the figure standing at the top of the mountain of corpses and sea of blood seemed to have noticed something and turned to look at Xu Xi.
Revealing a face familiar to Xu Xi, her vermilion lips parted slightly.
"Found. You. Brother."
"Brother—"
The beautiful face was covered in blood, and the young girl revealed a brilliant smile at Xu Xi.
When a plant finds its roots, it can continue to grow.
When a bird finds its wings, it can soar high again.
When a beast finds its fangs, it can be brave and unstoppable.
Similarly, when the young girl found her most beloved, there was light in her eyes once again. It was attachment, it was joy, and it was a heaviness that refused to let go ever again.
"Mo Li?"
Xu Xi's pupils contracted.
He wanted to do something, but realized his body couldn't move.
He could only watch helplessly as the girl walked toward him, stepping on the mountain of corpses, crossing the sea of blood, stretching out her fair hands stained with fresh blood, and gently hugging his body, gradually holding him tighter:
"Brother, this time, I will never let you leave again."
The girl's voice echoed in Xu Xi's ear.
She hugged him even tighter.
The excessive force made Xu Xi's chest and ribs ache a little.
"!!!"
Xu Xi was shocked and uncertain, feeling that everything that had just happened was too bizarre. Just as he was about to say something, the Xu Moli before him suddenly disintegrated into dots of light, dissipating into nothingness with a faint clattering sound.
Only a crystalline object shaped like a teardrop remained.
It fell into his palm.
[Ding-dong—]
[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a special item: eternal teardrop]
