Chapter 31

While Lin Jingyu and Qi Hao headed toward Dazhu Peak, inside Xiaozhu Peak, a mechanical voice suddenly rang out in Lu Xueqi’s mind.

“Ding, Zhang Sanfeng from the Heaven Sword World has joined the chat group, Xiaolongnü from the Condor Heroes World has joined the chat group!”

Lu Xueqi was momentarily stunned. She hadn’t expected two new members to be added to the chat group—and they were none other than Zhang Sanfeng from the Heaven Sword World and Xiaolongnü from the Condor Heroes World, both names she was very familiar with.

Upon hearing the mechanical voice, Lu Xueqi immediately turned her attention to the chat group.

Huang Rong:“That’s great, we have new members in the chat group again! Welcome to the newcomers!”

Lu Yu:“Welcome, newcomers!”

Xiao Yan:“Welcome, newcomers. Zhang Sanfeng from Heaven Sword, and Xiaolongnü from Condor Heroes—are they the ones I think they are?”

Lu Yu:“They should be those two!”

Lu Xueqi:“Welcome, newcomers!”

At that moment, in the Heaven Sword World, Zhang Sanfeng had just finished cultivating in seclusion behind the mountain when a voice suddenly echoed in his mind, saying that a so-called Myriad Worlds Chat Group was inviting him to join.

Zhang Sanfeng assumed it was a heavenly gift of immortal fate and agreed without hesitation.

After joining, a panel appeared before his eyes, flashing various pieces of information.

Zhang Sanfeng found it quite novel, but having never interacted with such a thing before, he was a bit hesitant and didn’t know how to speak.

After some trial and error, he discovered that his thoughts could directly appear in the chat group panel.

Zhang Sanfeng:“Greetings, everyone. I, this old Daoist, salute you. Are you all immortals? Also, Xiao Yan and Lu Yu—do you two know me?”

Lu Yu:“Zhang Sanfeng, we are not immortals. The Myriad Worlds Chat Group you just joined is an artifact that links countless worlds. Everyone here comes from different universes.”

Zhang Sanfeng:“So that’s how it is. I didn’t expect the myriad worlds to truly exist.”

Xiong Ba:“Welcome, newcomer. I am Xiongba, the leader of the Underworld Society. I didn’t expect to see the True Master Zhang of Wudang here in the group.”

Zhang Sanfeng:“Xiong Ba, you know me too?”

Xiong Ba:“In our world, there’s also a Wudang Sect, though it’s not very powerful. When I unified the northern regions, I led the members of the Tianxia Society to that Wudang Sect and even took away your Tai Chi Fist Manual.”

Zhang Sanfeng:“What? Lord Xiong, you actually invaded my Wudang Sect? Have our Wudang disciples become so incompetent that they can’t even protect the sect’s sacred scriptures?”

Xiong Ba:“Zhang Sanfeng, don’t blame your Wudang successors too much. Actually, your sect master was quite capable—it’s just that he ran into me. If it had been anyone else, your Wudang would have stood strong.”

Zhang Sanfeng:“Lord Xiong, is your strength truly that formidable?”

Xiong Ba:“It’s decent.”

Xiao Yan:“Zhang Sanfeng, Xiong Ba isn’t from your world, so you don’t need to worry too much about his attack on your Wudang Sect. His world is much stronger than yours, with far greater martial prowess and a completely different path of development. Don’t take it to heart.”

Zhang Sanfeng:“So that’s how it is. Thank you for the clarification, Xiao Yan. I understand now.”

Huang Rong:“Zhang Sanfeng, you can ask Lu Yu to post your world’s timeline. That way, you can take a good look at your future development path.”

Zhang Sanfeng:“Miss Huang Rong, who exactly is this Lu Yu, to know the timeline of our world? Could he be an immortal?”

Lu Yu:“Zhang Sanfeng, I’m no immortal. I’ve just read some novels and biographies from your world. Your world should have novels and biographies too, right?”

Zhang Sanfeng:“Indeed, there are some novels and biographies. I just never expected that the happenings of our world would be written down like that. Could it be our world is... fictional?”

Xiao Yan:“Not necessarily. Zhang Sanfeng, do you think you yourself are fake?”

Zhang Sanfeng:“Not at all. I can clearly confirm that I’m a living, breathing person. It just feels a little mystical.”

Lu Xueqi:“No need to dwell on such questions. As long as we live well in the moment, that’s enough. By the way, the new group member Xiaolongnü hasn’t spoken yet. Could it be that she doesn’t know how to use the chat group?”

Zhang Sanfeng:“That may very well be. I recall when I joined the chat group, there was another member who entered—Xiaolongnü from the Condor Heroes World. Is she the wife of the Condor Hero?”

Xiao Yan:“Most likely, yes. Though we’re not sure which point in time she’s from.”

Huang Rong:“Lu Yu, is this Xiaolongnü from my era or after me?”

Lu Yu:“Huang Rong, Xiaolongnü is from after your time, and she’s actually somewhat connected to you.”

Huang Rong:“Really?”

Lu Yu:“Xiaolongnü, are you there? Say something. Everyone in the chat group is a good person. There’s no need to be afraid.”

Xiaolongnü:“Hello, everyone.”

Lu Yu:“Xiaolongnü, what’s your current situation? How old are you now?”

Just as Xiaolongnü was about to reply, the previously quiet group task panel suddenly popped up with a new notification.

This surprised Lu Xueqi, Xiong Ba, Xiao Yan, Lu Yu, and even the newly joined Zhang Sanfeng.

Zhang Sanfeng:“Friends, what’s going on?”

Lu Yu:“The chat group has issued a mission! Let’s see what it is!”

Lu Xueqi, curious as well, immediately focused her attention on the group mission panel.

【Ding! Anomaly detected in the Condor Heroes World. Group member Xiaolongnü is about to encounter great danger. A mission is now issued: Travel to the Condor Heroes World to rescue Xiaolongnü and eliminate the source of the anomaly. Reward: 5000 points.】
