312: Chapter 309: New World, New System Traces

During Gu Shengge's investigation, he condensed the textual coordinates of this world and sent them to Long Tai.

Long Tai received them, and all the information about this world flowed into his mind.

This world was called Can Yu Yuanjie, one of the Great Worlds on the periphery of the Middle Heaven Star Domain. Since it was only the periphery, the top powerhouses were probably only at the Void Refining level, or perhaps even lower.

Gu Shengge marked three of the Ten States, and beneath those three states, he marked three Sects: Evil Moon Sect, Bright Moon Sect, and Divine Moon Sect, each in a different state.

Long Tai was inwardly astonished. No wonder Gu Shengge dealt with him so swiftly; after entering a world, Gu Shengge almost completely grasped it!

Gu Shengge didn't waste any time, commanding, "Go investigate these three areas. You search openly, and I will search covertly. Once you find it, immediately inform me!"

Long Tai quickly cupped his hands and said, "Dao Child, rest assured, I will definitely bring back the System owner!"

Gu Shengge further cautioned, "Don't be too blatant, or the System might be scared away by you."

Long Tai had originally intended to directly descend upon that state and then simply suppress the area with his powerful Cultivation to finish the job.

Gu Shengge's warning came at an inconvenient time!

However, he remembered how his own System had run away directly upon learning of Gu Shengge's arrival, and he understood. Once they tipped off the System, that thing would definitely flee.

It was better to search slowly and not be discovered.

Long Tai looked at the map and chose to go to the Southwest State, the closest area, to investigate first.

Southwest State, as one of the three most barren states in this world, had thin Spiritual Qi, and Cultivators here struggled immensely, like swimming in a sea of suffering.

Even a single Spirit Stone could make them fight to the death.

Here, conflicts and killings among Cultivators were common occurrences.

Inside Qixia Valley, shouts of battle shook the heavens. Dozens of Cultivators were fiercely fighting in the valley. The battle between the two sides was exceptionally brutal, with casualties constantly increasing.

In a corner, a young man was hiding behind a huge rock, watching the battlefield.

Inside the battlefield, an old man with white hair and beard angrily shouted, "Hongdao Sect, a bunch of evil demonic beasts! Don't you dare bully us too much! Even if I perish with them today, I will never let you snatch the Sacred Dao Scripture!"

Opposite him, a middle-aged man wearing a fanged mask spoke, "Old man, this thing wasn't even discovered by your Bright Moon Sect in the first place. Now, the capable will possess it. Why must you find such a high-sounding reason for your greed?"

In the distance, the young man hiding behind the giant rock sneered. He glanced at the still bleeding wound on his arm, and the hatred in his eyes grew even stronger.

"High-sounding, indeed high-sounding! But the final winner will definitely be me!"

As the young man muttered to himself, the battle inside grew fiercer. A strong smell of blood wafted over, and the wails of Cultivators were incessant.

"Boom!"

An explosion erupted inside, and a large cloud of dust rolled back. Beneath the thick smoke, the young man quickly investigated, only to see that more than half of the Cultivators inside were already dead or wounded.

"System, is it my turn to finish them off now! You must calculate carefully; don't shortchange my experience points!"

Host, the experience points you gain for each kill are recorded. Feel free to check!

The young man did not reply, but plunged into the smoke. The ancient blade in his hand had no luster, yet each strike was incomparably sharp.

Some severely wounded Cultivators still tried to struggle in their death throes, raising their swords to block, but that unremarkable sword was so sharp that it even cut through their Spirit Swords.

After those Spirit Swords were cut, the Spirit Iron contained within them instantly lost its luster as it was absorbed by the ancient longsword.

Their owners, meanwhile, turned into mummified corpses, yellowish-brown and almost clinging to their bones, a truly gruesome sight.

The young man continuously killed Cultivators, quickly attracting the attention of the old man and the masked middle-aged man who were fighting in the central area.

As the young man killed a Cultivator nearby, both their gazes fell upon him.

The middle-aged Cultivator from Hongdao Sect and the old man from Bright Moon Sect had been observing them for a while. This fellow had killed his way in from the outside, showing no mercy to either Hongdao Sect Cultivators or Bright Moon Sect Cultivators.

As his figure, hidden in the smoke, gradually emerged, the old man from Bright Moon Sect exclaimed, "It's you! Zhao Yuanlang, you're not dead yet!"

The young man sneered, "What, are you worried that your Righteous Path self will be exposed for snatching an Opportunity from a Loose Cultivator?"

The old man's face couldn't help but flush. As a Senior taking an Opportunity from a junior, it was indeed quite unseemly.

However, that was the Sacred Dao Scripture! A top-tier Cultivation Technique rumored to help one break into the Void Refining realm, how could he miss it?

The key was, this Zhao Yuanlang was no benevolent person. Back when he was a handyman in the Bright Moon Sect, because he was assigned two extra Spirit Fields to take care of, he actually brutally attacked a Sect deacon. Afterwards, he even ambushed and killed over thirty other handymen who were taking care of the Spirit Fields with him. His methods were brutal, even more vicious than those of a Demonic Cultivator.

Towards such a Cultivator, he naturally wouldn't talk about morality.

Thinking of this, he felt his confidence growing.

"Zhao Yuanlang, the Sect deacon only made you clean two more Spirit Fields, why did you have to kill him? Especially those Bright Moon Sect handymen who were just like you, you lived together day and night, how could you bring yourself to do it?"

Zhao Yuanlang's eyes flickered. At that time, he was assigned two extra Spirit Fields, and he was truly stretched thin.

Unable to manage them, he went to seek the deacon, hoping to give one away, but unexpectedly, he was beaten violently by the deacon.

Because of this, he also activated the System, and immediately retaliated, killing the Sect deacon.

During this process, he himself was seriously injured, and the System's healing came at the cost of killing living beings to convert into experience points.

His Cultivation at that time was insufficient to contend with the Elders and Sect of Bright Moon Sect, so the only path was to heal quickly and escape.

Those handyman companions naturally became the experience points for his Cultivation recovery. However, even if he were given ten more chances to choose, he would still choose to kill those handymen in exchange for the System's experience points.

"Yuanlang Gege, are you here?"

From the smoke behind, a clear female voice suddenly came. A cat-eared girl walked out slowly. Seeing Zhao Yuanlang confronting someone, her face immediately showed a fierce expression.

"Yuanlang Gege, who are these people?"

The old man narrowed his eyes slightly, asking in confusion, "A descendant of the Nine-Lives Leopard Cat of the Yao Race? I am Zhang Yinyang, the Third Elder of Bright Moon Sect!"

The cat-eared girl looked bewildered, "Bright Moon Sect? Aren't you people of the Righteous Path?"

Zhao Yuanlang's expression changed slightly beside her, and he said in a low voice, "Linlang Meimei, this old man is relying on his profound Cultivation to steal my Opportunity. Now is the time to reclaim it. Step back a bit, don't get ambushed!"

The cat-eared girl's face was full of vigilance, her claws flashing with cold light.

"Yuanlang Gege, is this the hypocrite you spoke of?"
