185: A fleeting opportunity that cannot be grasped
"Damn, someone actually comprehended something?"
"Did that kid get Spear Intent?"
"This is about to take off!"
Countless players stared in shock at the black-clad Cultivator swaggering away, their faces filled with envy.
This envy was extremely intense, one might even say it was jealousy.
Everyone came to Mingshui Heaven together, and everyone was a player with ordinary Comprehension Ability.
But why were you the only one who could comprehend something and suddenly take off?
This is so unfair!
The players looked enviously and jealously at the black-clad Cultivator.
Then, one after another, comments were posted on the forum, and the content was... the location of that black-clad Cultivator!
"Brothers, I found a player who comprehended something!"
"The location is in the southeast area of Mingshui Heaven, starting from Cangjing Peak, approximately East XXX South XXX."
"Those who are capable, hurry and hunt him down!"
Such comments, as soon as they were posted on the forum, immediately sparked a heated discussion:
"Damn, are you guys even human? You're actually calling for others to hunt down players?"
"What player? That's clearly a walking Nascent Soul Inheritance!"
"No more talking, our guild has already gone. Once we get the Nascent Soul Inheritance, we're going to take off!"
A small number of players disdained such behavior.
But the majority of players were extremely excited, rushing desperately towards the target area, eager to kill people and seize treasures.
In a Xuanhuan World, if an ordinary person accidentally acquires a Legacy, it's best to pray that no powerful person has set their sights on him.
Then, he must also pray that the news has not leaked out.
After he has completely digested the Legacy, improved his Realm, cultivated some combat-oriented techniques, and preferably found some useful Magic Treasure to assist in battle.
Only then would he dare to emerge and officially begin his path to becoming a rising Prodigy.
This is also the general procedure for most Mortals cultivating Immortality. Opportunity is often a great terror, capable of tearing a low-level Cultivator to shreds at any time. One must be cautious and careful, cultivating and growing stronger secretly, as if stealing, in order to resist all hostility.
Unfortunately, in this Mingshui Heaven, ninety-nine percent of the Cultivators are players. Not only are players numerous, but the speed of information exchange is also beyond imagination.
In less than three minutes, news about the black-clad Cultivator had spread throughout the forum.
So, under everyone's attention, before long, the black-clad Cultivator was intercepted by several Mortal Foundation powerhouses, and then a fierce battle ensued.
Soon after, an unwilling roar was heard, like a trapped beast, struggling to break free from its cage, letting out its final ferocious roar.
Then, a roar echoed through the heavens and earth:
"I'm not willing! I'm not —"
The words abruptly stopped. The black-clad Cultivator fell in the siege, completely losing his Qi.
The several Mortal Foundation Cultivator who had surrounded him looked at each other and sighed.
The black-clad Cultivator resisted fiercely. These Mortal Foundation Cultivator had limited means and couldn't forcibly control him. In the end, they were a bit too heavy-handed and accidentally killed him.
"Boss, that kid is cursing us on the forum!"
The Mortal Foundation Cultivator raised an eyebrow and checked the forum.
Sure enough, there was a brand new post, presumably by the black-clad Cultivator. He was currently cursing furiously, spamming the thread. Every floor was a curse, and each curse was different, making people exclaim how absurd it was and marvel at his profound knowledge.
At the same time, other players who had comprehended something also encountered the same situation.
They hadn't held much expectation when comprehending, so they naturally weren't prepared. They didn't hide from other players, didn't conceal themselves in any cave, like they were playing a lottery.
Unexpectedly, they actually won the lottery; they truly resonated with a True Intent and comprehended something.
They originally thought they could soar to the sky, instantly becoming the most outstanding Prodigy in the Xuanhuan World, dominating one side and creating an epic story.
However, they didn't expect to be besieged by countless players, ultimately dying unwillingly and having to restart.
Such a sudden drop in fortunes in a short time filled these players with resentment, and they furiously posted curses on the forum.
However, regarding their plight, other players first expressed sympathy, and then schadenfreude:
"Haha, I told you this True Intent comprehension thing was unreliable, didn't I?"
"After comprehending, it's neither a Magic Treasure that can be directly used, nor a Medicinal Pill or Talisman that can instantly boost combat power. Instead, it's a mysterious Legacy. Isn't that just waiting to be ambushed?"
"LOL, did you see the arrogant expressions on those people just now? Some even shouted, 'My fate is mine, not heaven's!' But in less than half an hour, they all fell."
The players burst into laughter.
As players who hadn't comprehended anything, they certainly didn't want other players to gain anything.
Watching these players, who had with great difficulty resonated and comprehended a True Intent, being killed one by one, everyone felt relieved.
That was close, they almost took off... Meanwhile.
In a cave in Mingshui Heaven.
A young man slowly opened his eyes, rising from his meditative state. Sharp Spiritual Qi emanated around him, like streaks of Spear Intent.
He looked at the posts on the forum, his lips curling, as if in mockery, or perhaps relief.
Upon learning about the True Intent, this young player guessed that the terrifying methods left by the Nascent Soul, which Great God Ye Chun also said could be comprehended by the entire Mingshui Heaven, why be confined to "watching"?
So from the beginning, he didn't run to the best viewing spots like other players, didn't crowd with people.
At the same time, most other players felt that this event was just for show, just for experience, and wouldn't yield any rewards.
But he felt that since he came, he must plan with the premise of obtaining rewards.
So he deliberately chose a secluded cave, and even set up some Formations and Talismans on the periphery. Once someone approached, it would give a warning.
Such caution finally allowed him to seize the Opportunity, and he didn't waste it.
Not only did he successfully resonate and comprehend, gaining a Legacy in his mind, but he also wasn't discovered by other players.
Next, he only needed to quietly leave Mingshui Heaven, hide and digest the Legacy. Whether he obtained a true Nascent Soul method from it, or one or two Nascent Soul spear techniques, it would all allow him to take off.
Thinking of this, the young man couldn't help but hum lightly.
And players like him, while certainly fewer in number, were not insignificant given the player base.
These players, who didn't waste every Opportunity, all seized their chances, not becoming a flash in the pan, but secretly developing, preparing to stir up a wave in the future.
Meanwhile.
Managers of various clubs were also asking their professional players about the specific situation of their comprehension.
"What do you mean, not a single one comprehended anything?"
"Our professional players are all Geniuses, how could they not comprehend anything?"
"What do you mean, precisely because they are Geniuses, they can't comprehend anything?"
The professional club members encountered a problem completely different from ordinary players.
If ordinary players couldn't comprehend, it was because their Comprehension Ability was insufficient, and no matter how much they tried, they couldn't comprehend.
But many professional players had sufficient Comprehension Ability, and could even resonate with the True Intent, but they still couldn't comprehend anything.
Because their Dao was not "Spear".
