Rebirth of the Wilderness

Kuzhu, who had exited the virtual world, slowly woke up in the room...

He opened his eyes and looked at the room he was in. After experiencing the baptism of the virtual world, the initial shock had disappeared. He knew that almost everyone had such a portable cave, but the level might not be as high as that of the Qingtian Patriarch.

After opening the door and leaving the room, Kuzhu saw that Yang Mei and Hong's doors were still closed, so he didn't disturb them and left the portable cave directly...

Sitting cross-legged on a smooth boulder at random by the lake, Kuzhu slowly recalled everything that happened today...

From becoming a disciple of Qingtian Patriarch, to entering the virtual world, to making a few friends, and then meeting 'Hong' in the virtual world, all these scenes gradually reappeared in his mind...

Kuzhu found that what happened today was more exciting than what he had experienced in the past thousands or tens of thousands of years combined, and the shock it caused to his soul was unprecedented.

Quietly watching the lake in front of him swaying with the wind and the waves rising and falling, Kuzhu felt that his mood today was just like the lake, originally calm and without waves, but suddenly ripples were stirred up by all kinds of external things...

Gradually, Kuzhu closed his eyes, his mind immersed in the lake in front of him, rising and falling with the turbulence of the lake.

After an unknown amount of time, the wind stopped and the lake suddenly became calm and smooth like a mirror...

The exterior scene reflects the interior, and the bitter bamboo is like a revelation, and the mind is suddenly enlightened...

After experiencing it carefully, Kuzhu found that his state of mind had suddenly improved a lot. Even his cultivation, which had just entered the Taiyi Sanxian level, was instantly stabilized. He had already reached the point where he could improve again. He just needed to accumulate some more magic power, which was the easiest thing for him.

"Congratulations, Kuzhu. I didn't expect your cultivation to improve so quickly. It looks like you'll surpass me soon!"

Hearing the voices, Kuzhu slowly opened his eyes and found that his master and "Hong" were standing not far away, looking at him quietly.

The master was smiling with a very satisfied look on his face, while 'Hong' was congratulating himself with an envious look on his face.

"Master, Senior Red..."

Upon seeing this, Kuzhu quickly stood up and bowed to the two of them.

"Yes, after this sudden realization, I hope to break through to a new level in a short period of time..."

Although even if Kuzhu made another breakthrough in his cultivation, it would be nothing to Yang Mei, but Kuzhu had just made a breakthrough and had made considerable progress. Yang Mei was quite satisfied with this new disciple.

Hong was different. When she saw Kuzhu saluting, she quickly avoided him and said with a wry smile, "Kuzhu, you don't have to salute me in the future. My cultivation is about the same as yours now, and judging by the situation, you will soon surpass me. If you continue like this, it will embarrass me!"

As soon as 'Hong' finished speaking, Kuzhu was dumbfounded. He looked at 'Hong' in confusion, and then looked at his master Qingtian Taoist in confusion.

"Well, from now on you should treat each other as peers. Communicate more often and support each other's progress!"

When Yang Mei saw Kuzhu looking at her, she nodded affirmatively.

"This this……"

Hearing his master say this, Kuzhu was dumbfounded again and couldn't even speak clearly.

"What's wrong, Kuzhu, is there anything else?"

Yang Mei asked in confusion when she saw her apprentice like this.

"Master, you said that I should treat 'Hong' and I as equals? This is inappropriate..."

Kuzhu was afraid that his master had said something wrong, so he asked cautiously.

"Yeah, what's wrong with that? Don't you think highly of 'Red'?"

Seeing Kuzhu hesitating, Yang Mei thought that Kuzhu was becoming arrogant because he felt that he had made a breakthrough in his cultivation. She frowned and scolded him in dissatisfaction.

'Red' was also looking at him unkindly.

"No... No, I heard from my friends that Hong's cultivation is unfathomable. Is it inappropriate for me to befriend her as an equal?"

Kuzhu was flustered when he saw that his master and 'Hong' had misunderstood him. He quickly stopped and denied it, but he was puzzled in his heart, thinking, "Why did my master also play such a joke on me?"

After hearing what Kuzhu said, which was obviously the opposite of what they thought, Yang Mei and Hong were both stunned for a moment, and then they seemed to have thought of something and suddenly realized, "Haha... So that's how it is... It's really dark under the lamp!"

"what happened?"

Kuzhu looked at the two people who were laughing heartily with a puzzled look on his face, wondering what they were laughing at without any reason.

"It's not surprising for outsiders to have such thoughts since they have never seen the real 'Hong'. But you have seen her true form before. Didn't you find that 'Hong's' cultivation level is similar to yours?"

Yang Mei looked at Kuzhu's confused face and asked puzzledly.

"I found out. Could this really be Hong's true cultivation? Then why does everyone in the virtual world say that Hong's cultivation is unfathomable?"

After hearing what Yang Mei said, Kuzhu became even more confused. If he hadn't heard such statements so many times, he wouldn't have suspected that Hong had hidden his cultivation in front of him.

And if only these new generation of innate creatures didn't know, it would be fine, but why didn't all the innate creatures know the true level of 'Hong''s' cultivation? Even those powerful beings who had reached unfathomable levels of cultivation before the first catastrophe of heaven and earth didn't know, otherwise it would have spread long ago.

"Alas! This all starts with your uncle..."

Yang Mei thought of her second brother Zhao Song whom she hadn't seen for many years, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Wait, I have an uncle-master?"

Kuzhu interrupted in surprise before Yang Mei finished speaking.

"Yeah, there's nothing strange about this. You just became my disciple, and you don't know a lot of things. I'll tell you slowly later. Now let's talk about 'Hong' first..."

Yang Mei didn't take Kuzhu's surprise seriously. It was also because the level of the innate creatures that Kuzhu had come into contact with was still too low. Otherwise, many people would know that Patriarch Qingtian and Patriarch Yantian were sworn brothers. After all, it was not a big secret.

"Well, then please tell me about Hong's matter first..."

After hearing what Yang Mei said, Kuzhu had to put away his curiosity and thought that he should first find out the matter of "Hong". As for other secrets, he would ask about them later.

"Hong's situation is somewhat special. He is a subordinate of your uncle-master... Yes, he is a subordinate. In order to facilitate the management of the martial arts arena in Chaos City in the virtual world, your uncle-master asked Hong to be the host of the martial arts arena. Firstly, he could get away from it, and secondly, it was for Hong's practice.

However, the cultivation base of the innate creatures at that time was not low. Your uncle was afraid that 'Hong' would not be able to suppress the situation, so he completely simulated 'Hong's real cultivation base in the virtual world. 'Hong' became the only person in the virtual world who could exert his full strength anytime and anywhere.

In this way, although her actual cultivation level is not high, it is much higher than other innate creatures who cannot exert their strength.

As people discovered that Hong could freely display his cultivation in the virtual world, rumors gradually spread that Hong's cultivation was unfathomable. Your uncle was naturally happy to hear such rumors, and would not reveal Hong's true cultivation level, and that has continued until now."
