The Game with Fairies

After coming out of the Ancient Grudge Well, finding the old general’s notes was not difficult.

The white-robed sorcerer led Li Muyang and Fairy Liuli to the old general’s study, and they quickly found his notes.

The notes detailed the entire process of the old general being tainted, eroded, and eventually parasitized by evil beings.

It turned out that ten years ago, the old general had already been contaminated by evil spirits.

But at that time, he could still suppress the evil spirits with his own martial arts cultivation—indeed, there were martial artists in the Heavenly Origin Dynasty besides cultivators.

Although they could not fly or teleport, powerful martial artists also possessed formidable strength.

Li Muyang was learning of this matter for the first time, as the profession of a martial cultivator did not exist in his world.

The veteran general of the Ever-Victorious Army was a powerful martial artist.

With a strong spirit and a resilient mind, he did not lose his sanity after being corrupted by evil spirits.

During this process, the supervisor of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau provided the old general with much assistance.

Therefore, although the general was tainted by evil spirits, he had lived in peace for many years.

However, after the corruption, he often heard strange calls and occasionally had bizarre nightmares at night, seeing strange evil shadows.

In the past few years, he even began to sleepwalk, waking up in odd places.

The eerie calls grew clearer and closer to his ears.

Until a few months ago, the old general started having vivid nightmares.

He dreamt that he was overwhelmed by hundreds of evil creatures that took control of his body and went on a killing spree in Lijiang City, causing rivers of blood.

Every night, he would repeat this nightmare.

He could also clearly feel that in the dead of night, dark shadows would wander outside his house.

Countless whispers arose from the corners and shadows around him.

Unbeknownst to him, he had been targeted and surrounded by many strange entities.

These beings lurked in the shadows, attempting to invade and corrupt the old general’s body.

The increasingly severe situation deeply worried the old general.

He decided to venture into the deep mountains to seek help from the old priest of Purple Immortal Village.

The old priest possessed mysterious powers passed down from ancient times, which might be able to help him…

The content of the notes ended here, with the rest being blank.

However, the subsequent outcome was clear. The old priest did not help the old general.

Even the entire Purple Immortal Village was contaminated, and the Five Streams Barbarians within the village turned into the same kind of strange creatures found beneath the Ancient Grudge Well.

The old general, parasitized by hundreds of evil creatures and controlled by them, managed to do one thing before losing his sanity.

He hid in the Ancient Grudge Well and confined himself to the world below, preventing the evil beings from using his body to harm the beings of Lijiang County…

After reading the old general’s notes, Li Muyang sighed softly.

He handed the notes to Fairy Liuli and then quietly left the study while she was browsing through them.

Thus, the entire storyline of ‘The Call of the Mountains’ game came to an end.

Li Muyang successfully completed the game.

The rewards for clearing the game popped up in his field of vision.

【Game–The Call of the Mountains has been cleared】

【Fairy Liuli: Survived】

【The Old General’s Notes: Obtained】

【Evil Spirit Blood Pupil: Obtained】

【Special Item: Evil Gods Inspection Report Completed】

【Facing the bizarre situation and the perilous Ancient Grudge Well, you were undaunted by the dangers and ventured into the treacherous area, successfully finding the missing old general and uncovering the mysteries of the Ancient Grudge Well. With your wise and steady vision, you and Fairy Liuli completed the “Ancient Grudge Well Evil Gods Inspection Report,” a book that will awaken the world and become an important reference for understanding the evil gods… The deeds you have done are of immeasurable merit, and countless beings will benefit in the future】

【Completion Rating: Benefactor of All Beings】

【Please select your reward (choose one of three)】

【Cultivation +1 (From Foundation Establishment Realm Late Stage to Golden Core Realm Early Stage)】

【Item Advancement Talisman (System Item Rank +1)】

【Martial God Tyrant Body (Rare Refresh)】

Seeing the rewards that popped up, Li Muyang blinked.

Cultivation +1 was an old friend, and the Item Advancement Talisman, a rare item, had also appeared, indicating a very high clearance rating.

The system always gave more generous rewards for higher ratings.

But compared to the two familiar options, the newly appeared 【Martial God Tyrant Body】 was something he had never seen before.

And the system had specifically marked it as (Rare Refresh)…

Was it an SSR because the game clearance rating was so high?

Li Muyang curiously clicked to view the detailed attributes of the Martial God Tyrant Body.

【Martial God Tyrant Body: A legendary rare physique. Cultivators with the Martial God Tyrant Body grow stronger as their cultivation increases, with physical strength comparable to magical treasures. At the peak, one can shatter immortal artifacts with their fists, be invincible at the same level, and even without using their own spiritual energy, they can match cultivators with their physical strength alone.】

The straightforward system description nearly made Li Muyang’s eyes pop out.

Invincible at the same level? Physical strength comparable to magical treasures?

What kind of monstrous physique was this?

His own talent for cultivation was quite ordinary, just average.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

When practicing on a regular basis, Li Muyang could feel that his absorption and refinement rate of high-grade spiritual rice was very low, with much of the spiritual energy being wasted during the process, unable to be absorbed by his body.

If it weren’t for the abundant supply of high-grade spiritual rice and the system directly providing cultivation levels, with Li Muyang’s talent, it would normally take him ten to twenty years just to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Golden Core would be out of reach.

Now the system had produced a rare physique, offering him a complete transformation.

Was there any need for hesitation?

Li Muyang immediately chose 【Martial God Tyrant Body】

As Li Muyang selected 【Martial God Tyrant Body】, he immediately felt an extremely warm breath flowing within his body.

This breath rose from his dantian, spinning with the vortex of spiritual energy there and eventually spreading throughout Li Muyang’s body along the path of the spiritual energy circulation.

The warm feeling gradually spread to his limbs and bones, causing Li Muyang’s body to stiffen and twitch violently.

He felt his body and bones undergoing a drastic metamorphosis.

It seemed as though countless marvelous substances surged from within his flesh, wildly transforming his body.

His entire body felt as if it was about to explode and tear apart, with an intense churning sensation.

Every bone in his flesh crackled, and every inch of muscle trembled and writhed.

The transformation was so intense that Li Muyang momentarily lost control of his body.

In the past, it was always received quickly when receiving system rewards, even when directly increasing his cultivation level.

However, this time, Li Muyang lay stiff on his bed for a full hour before the earth-shattering sensation in his body disappeared.
