Checking in for 100,000 Years

Chapter 265: Chapter 265: The Distorted System, Gone into Hiding

This System, such a freak!

Ye Yun remembered how he had been signing in every ten minutes in the Dark Space for one hundred thousand years, an ordeal that had driven him to the brink of collapse countless times.

Whenever he recalled this, he couldn’t resist the urge to curse the System vehemently.

The System had him signing in with such high frequency that, over time, he had become desensitized. To re-stimulate his nerves, the System began to offer rewards that were not only diverse but also increasingly abundant with each sign-in.

So abundant, it was beyond imagination.

Luckily, his warehouses were infinite and could store so many resources.

Ever since the sign-in sessions ended, Ye Yun found that the System had fallen silent.

He had tried calling out to it, but there was no response.

This System really had a personality.

Once the sign-in task was completed, it simply withdrew into isolation...

After his thoughts briefly strayed, Ye Yun exchanged a few more words with the Xuan bird.

To verify the Xuan bird’s words, he had specifically extracted its memories. What the Xuan bird said was indeed true, without any falsehood. Ye Yun had extracted the Xuan bird’s memories stealthily because he was being extremely cautious.

After all, the mastermind was hidden extremely deep and had been continuously setting up schemes along the way.

He was also afraid that the Xuan bird might be one of their pawns.

After validating the Xuan bird’s memories, Ye Yun finally let out a sigh of relief and immediately removed the surrounding restrictions.

”You may have fully recovered physically, but your Primordial Spirit is still somewhat weak. I will teach you a Cultivation Technique to help it slowly recover...”

Ye Yun looked at the Xuan bird and smiled as he spoke.

”Thank you, Master!” the Xuan bird said gratefully.

Ye Yun pointed gently, and a ray of light entered the Xuan bird’s mind.

The Xuan bird felt the wondrous nature of the Primordial Spirit tempering Cultivation Technique in its mind and an expression of ecstatic joy appeared on its face.

Once all this was done, Ye Yun, his hands still clasped behind his back, slowly walked towards the carriage down the mountain.

”Senior, you’ve truly turned misfortune into a blessing this time...” the Big Black Cat said, approaching and smirking at the Xuan bird.

”Yes! If it hadn’t been for Master, I would have died long ago,” the Xuan bird said, exhaling deeply, his voice tinged with lingering fear.

”Senior, what is your cultivation base now?” Little Cat asked, blinking her large, lively eyes as she also drew closer.

She had always been very interested in this Xuan bird senior who had lived for a hundred thousand years.

”Although I managed to survive, my cultivation base has dropped quite a bit. Now, I can barely reach the First Level of the Eternal Realm,” the Xuan bird said, looking ashamed.

”Wow, so you’re also an Eternal Realm demon, Senior! That’s awesome!” Little Cat exclaimed after a few seconds of surprise, giving the Xuan bird a thumbs-up.

The Xuan bird scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed.

Laughing and talking, the group followed Ye Yun down the mountain.

At this moment, a black carriage gradually came into their view.

The Big Black Horse was idly bored when it suddenly looked up and saw Master approaching from a distance.

Huh! Why is there an extra fellow dressed in black?

The Big Black Horse’s gaze fell upon the Xuan bird, finding this person very unfamiliar.

The Big Black Horse curled his lip, baring his large white teeth as he muttered to himself, ”He’s also of the Eternal Realm; his cultivation level is just a bit low.”

He didn’t pay much mind to this newcomer.

After all, there was still quite a gap compared to his own cultivation level.

The group walked up to the carriage.

When the Xuan bird saw the Big Black Horse pulling the carriage, his eyes narrowed in an instant; he was utterly shocked.

The Big Black Horse pulling the carriage was actually a Great Demon of the Eternal Realm, with a cultivation base even stronger than his own.

”You all get acquainted,” Ye Yun said with a smile, then stepped into the carriage.

”Senior, I am the Xuan bird,” the Xuan bird said very respectfully to the Big Black Horse, clasping his fists in a salute.

”Brother Xuan Bird, no need for formalities. We’ll get along just fine,” the Big Black Horse said with a hearty, nonchalant laugh.

”Uncle Ma, you can’t talk like that! The Xuan bird is a senior!” the Big Black Cat exclaimed, quickly stepping in to smooth things over.

”What did you say? The Xuan bird is a senior? His cultivation base isn’t even as high as mine?” the Big Black Horse retorted with a dismissive laugh.

The Xuan bird felt quite embarrassed upon hearing this.

Although he had lived for over a hundred thousand years, his cultivation base was indeed inferior to that of the Big Black Horse before him.

”Uncle Ma, Senior Xuan Bird was a Divine Beast raised by the Dragon God Sect over a hundred thousand years ago. He’s definitely our senior,” the Big Black Cat hurriedly explained.

Over a hundred thousand years ago? The Big Black Horse was immediately startled. Someone from the same era as Master?

He quickly amended his tone, ”Ah, so it’s Senior Xuan Bird! My apologies, I didn’t realize it before. I was rude!”

The Xuan bird waved his hand and sighed, ”It’s fine. From now on, we are all fellow members of the Dragon God Sect.”

The Big Black Horse nodded repeatedly, taking this to heart.

”Uncle Ma, this is Mu Qing, the Saintess of the Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird. She is now serving as our Master’s maid,” the Big Black Cat said, taking on the role of introducer.

Mu Qing also knew that the Big Black Horse before her was undoubtedly an unparalleled Great Demon.

From their earlier conversation, even the Xuan bird had admitted his inferiority.

This demonstrated that the Big Black Horse’s cultivation base was also terrifyingly high.

”Greetings, Senior,” Mu Qing said, cupping her fists and bowing.

”There’s no need for formalities! We’re all family from now on,” the Big Black Horse declared with a hearty laugh.

”Yes,” Little Cat chimed in with a giggle from the side.

After speaking, Little Cat was the first to jump onto the carriage, transforming into a cute little white cat.

The Big Black Cat also leaped into the air, transforming into a beam of black light before landing and turning into a black cat.

This? The Xuan bird was momentarily stunned.

However, he quickly recovered. After all, when he lived in the Hundred Bird Forest, he also used to appear in his demon beast form.

With a quick transformation, he became a small black bird and landed on a front corner of the carriage roof.

Mu Qing was somewhat dumbfounded.

Seeing that all the demon beasts had reverted to their original forms, she didn’t know what she should do.

”You may come in,” Ye Yun’s voice sounded from inside the carriage.

”Yes, Master!” Mu Qing replied. Hearing Master’s words, the bewildered Mu Qing snapped out of her daze. She quickly leaped up, jumped onto the carriage, lifted the curtain, and went inside.

”The space here is quite large. Find a spot and sit wherever you like,” Ye Yun said with a slight smile.

Then, with a flip of his wrist, he took out the damaged Heavenly Treasures Cover.

Seeing Master take out this treasure again, Mu Qing blinked, wisely chose a corner to sit, and remained silent.

Ye Yun stroked the Heavenly Treasures Cover in his hand, silently reminiscing for a moment before placing it beside him.

Next, he once again reached into the warehouse accessible via his wrist. After several dozen seconds, Ye Yun took out a Bronze Ancient Box, about a zhang in size.

The Bronze Box had an ancient design, was covered with various mysterious runes, and also exuded a peculiar Super Divine Dragon Breath.

What is this?

Upon seeing this mysterious Bronze Ancient Box, Mu Qing’s heart inexplicably throbbed violently, and an indescribable, immense terror instantly washed over her.

”It’s nothing,” Ye Yun said, casually waving his hand towards the Bronze Ancient Box, and that terrifying Super Divine Dragon Breath instantly disappeared.

Mu Qing took a long, deep breath, her body drenched in fragrant sweat.

Ye Yun stroked the top of the box lightly. With a CLICK, the lid of the Bronze Ancient Box automatically sprang open.

Ye Yun picked up the Heavenly Treasures Cover and lightly tossed it into the Bronze Ancient Box.

What is Master doing? Mu Qing’s eyes revealed her confusion.
