My Disciples are Too Idiotic

Chapter 444 304: The Mysterious Realm, This is the Secret of the Fifth Test Version!_2

"Lights! Do you guys get what I'm saying?

"The fact that there's an Array protecting the city Outside indicates that the power of the Cultivators has been preserved. Lights should not exist in a world devoted to cultivation. It's a great invention.

"So, I already had this guess last night, that our version is actually the future world! More precisely, a world where martial arts and technology coexist!"

He grew more and more excited as he spoke, as if uncovering this matter was akin to humanity unraveling the secrets of the universe.

Master Pang looked at him teasingly, "Then what about the bizarre things we encountered?"

"Guards, or you might say, the lackeys of the gods!"

Rat Tail Juice hurriedly said, "They are the ones guarding Peach Blossom Spring. The so-called gods might be the final Boss. However, I still haven't figured out why the gods don't allow these Non-player Characters to contact people Outside."

The group discussed as they climbed the mountain and soon reached the Mountain Peak.

However, there was no City in front of them.

On the contrary, what lay before them was a Basin surrounded by mountains, lonely without much else in sight.

Immediately, Master Pang was displeased, "Damn it, I've climbed for so long, and you're just showing me a scenic view?"

Pillar of Heaven and You're Burning were also dumbfounded. What's going on? Where's the promised City?

All three looked at Rat Tail Juice, waiting for an explanation.

But the next moment, Rat Tail Juice acted mysteriously, flipped his wrist, and a green Flying Sword appeared in his hand.

"Rat, stop talking in riddles! Explain what's going on!" Master Pang was growing impatient.

Rat Tail Juice pushed with his hand, and the Flying Sword immediately left his grip, shooting towards the airspace above the Basin.

As Master Pang and the other two watched in confusion, the Flying Sword vanished mid-air.

Or rather, ripples appeared before their eyes!

"Holy crap! There really is an Array, and it seems to hide whatever's inside."

"Could there really be a City hidden in there?"

"If it's really like that, then what Rat said might be true; we might have actually discovered the true secret of this game version."

"No more talking, I'm going over there now; don't anyone stop me!"

With a smug smile, Rat Tail Juice said, "Well? Do you believe me now?"

The three nodded eagerly.

Regardless of whether it was a City behind it or not, the presence of such a mysterious Array was definitely to conceal something unknown to them. They were deeply interested in what lay behind this barrier.

The four no longer hesitated. Even Master Pang, unable to resist swallowing, quickened his pace towards the Basin, regardless of the fatigue from climbing.

Soon, the four descended from the mountain, directly reaching the edge of the Basin.

According to the probing Rat Tail Juice had done just before, the fluctuations from the Array seemed to originate exactly where they were standing.

The four exchanged glances, then Master Pang took the lead, extending his hand forward.

Ripples appeared like a water curtain, and Master Pang felt as if his hand had truly entered a pool of ink: cool and comfortable.

Immediately after, he stepped forward and walked in, with the other three following close behind.

Just as the four of them stepped into the Array, a prompt from the System suddenly arrived, sending chills down their spines.

[Players have discovered Lin'an City. Upon death, you will not be able to resurrect at Reincarnation Points. Resurrection is only possible after the Teleportation Array is constructed. Additionally, you cannot leave Lin'an City after entering.]

"Holy shit, does this mean we can't continue playing if we die now?"

"What kind of Dungeon is this with such high restrictions? If you die, you can only log off and wait?"

"Is that the main point? We can't leave now! Do you understand what that means?"

"It seems like we can still log off. Should we log off and post about it on the Official Website Forum?"

The prompt from the System had frightened them all, but they quickly collected themselves.

Rat Tail Juice couldn't help but feel curious as he looked at the lush green trees and the pedestrians in the woods, dressed in all sorts of attire.

The NPCs here were dressed in a myriad of styles: some in knight's armor, some in mage robes, and there were even those in Taoist gowns!

Especially a few curvaceous Sisters in light, short-sleeved attire—they definitely caught their attention.

"I wasn't mistaken! The Mysterious Realm really is connected to the change of eras. This is the result of combining martial arts and technology!"

Rat Tail Juice grabbed Master Pang and said, "Start taking pictures and recording videos! I'm going to log off and head to the Official Website now. This could be our chance, the four of us, to become famous! We might just become the representative players of the Fifth Test!"

What did he mean by representative players?

There were Old Mo, Dung Beetle, Flourishing Flowers, and Junlin from the First Test.

Half-Leaf and Sister Zhou from the Second Test.

Starting with a Dog, Output Relies on Shouting, and others from the Third Test.

And King of Spraying King Pen Duanchang from the Fourth Test.

Among these individuals were players at the absolute peak of Power, considered celebrities among the player base.

「Fifth Test!」

More than ten thousand people. So far, no famous players had emerged; or rather, no single player could be said to represent the Fifth Test Players.

For Fifth Test Players, they too were searching for this opportunity.

The fact that Rat Tail Juice and his group had found such a place and even guessed the true secret of the current game version meant they were definitely on their way to becoming famous players in the Fifth Test.

"I've already taken them and just sent them to you. Are you logging off now?" Master Pang asked curiously.

Rat Tail Juice nodded hastily. "This place isn't simple. It's better if we don't interact with the NPCs for now. You all should log off too, grab something to eat, and then join me for an all-night Dungeon session."

"What about you? Aren't you going to eat?" Pillar of Heaven asked, stretching languidly.

"I'm not eating for now. I'll draft a forum post after logging off. I have a feeling that this update is going to be massive, even bigger than the previous four Internal Tests!"

Rat Tail Juice said with excitement, "Remember to bring me a beef noodle soup. My post is definitely going to take everyone by surprise!"

Seeing this, the four of them didn't linger any further and chose to log off and rest.

Not long after they logged off, a few curious citizens of Lin'an City approached. They looked at the four figures sleeping on the ground and then exchanged glances.

The Armored Man, eyeing Master Pang's physique, joked, "This is the first time I've seen someone fatter than my Dad."

"They must be an Adventurer team, right? To just sleep here like this," a girl in a white dress holding a Magic Staff said curiously.

The Armored Man laughed. "That's quite common. Eldest Miss, it's your first time in the Underground City, so it's normal that you don't know. Adventurers like them, without Power or backing, have to constantly earn money in the Underground City."

The girl in the white dress paused and then nodded. "Is that so? I understand now!"

Behind them, a beautiful matron in a holy gown softly said, "Eldest Miss, going to the Elf Forest with your current Power is still dangerous. Shall we choose another Underground City?"

"No, I must go to the Elf Forest!" the girl in the white dress asserted firmly. "I need to get the Life Spring Water to save my grandfather's life."

Seeing her resolve, the others said no more.

In contrast, the Armored Man sighed. "The Old Master shouldn't have chosen the Mysterious Realm as a Dungeon. There are gods residing there."

"My grandfather said that the Mysterious Realm has a deep connection with our Lin'an City. Although many who entered have died, Grandfather must have brought back valuable information since he was able to return alive."

The girl in the white dress looked at them and said, "The City Lord has already announced that all Adventurers should try to find something that can save my grandfather's life. After all, my grandpa is the first person in all of history to return from there alive!"

Upon hearing this, everyone showed a look of reverence.

The Mysterious Realm!

It was an absolutely dangerous territory, even more perilous than all the other Underground Cities. Countless people had entered over the years, but the only one to have ever returned alive was the grandfather of the girl in the white dress.

Regardless, to find out what the Mysterious Realm truly was, they had to save the life of the girl's grandfather.

This was also the reason why there were so many Adventurers Outside Lin'an City heading for the Underground Cities now!
