259: I want to catch monsters as mounts!

Arthur felt like he had been misled by an outdated guide.

Within the Four Kingdoms, it was true that evil Cultivators ran rampant, players suffered immensely, and chaos reigned.

During that period, you could casually steal things, and no one would care.

Compared to evil Cultivators slaughtering cities, what was a little theft or robbery?

To put it bluntly, those bandits in the Western Country, compared to the evil Cultivators in the East, could all go to heaven.

However, with the Breakthrough of the state-stabilizing seal and the establishment of the Immortal Dynasty, the situation changed.

With the terrifying spiritual detection of the state-stabilizing seal, evil Cultivators within the Immortal Dynasty's borders could not hide.

They were either annihilated by Immortal Dynasty Cultivators or chose to surrender.

And the Immortal Dynasty's laws were clear; the state-stabilizing seal needed to ensure the nation's prosperity.

Thus, one could witness the strange sight of pardoned evil Cultivators acting as law enforcement officers... "Outdated guides are truly harmful!"

Arthur complained to the audience in his live stream, genuinely speechless.

But then, he began to savor the feeling of riding a horse just now.

"No wonder everyone says Xuanhuan World is a next-gen game."

"The feel just now was truly amazing."

"I could feel the horse's back rising and falling, and the force feedback from the reins, all indistinguishable from reality."

"What's even more impressive is that because I am in the Spirit Nurturing Realm, my physical qualities are stronger than a normal person's."

"So I can control the horse more precisely and experience speeds and feedback that Mortals find hard to experience..." "Oh, I really want to keep riding!"

Arthur was locked in a cell, wanting to cry but having no tears, even considering restarting right then.

But he also realized that even if he chose to restart, he couldn't steal anymore; he would have to earn money to buy a horse.

The time it would take might even exceed three days.

And if he didn't want to waste that time, he would have to use the System and spend a little money.

But what kind of person was Arthur?

The last knight of the Western Country!

Although chivalry had been disproven by the people of Huaguo, he still had his bottom line:

Absolutely no RMT (real-money trading) in online games!

So now Arthur began planning how to work, how to earn money, and how to buy and ride a horse.

Just as he was constantly checking money-making guides,

A bullet comment suddenly popped up:

"No, you came to Xuanhuan World just to ride a horse?"

"All of us Western Country people are currently struggling in the Yao Body Emergence event, and you're here working to earn money?"

"Streamer, are you kidding? If you don't know how to play, you can end the stream."

Arthur's expression changed instantly, and he snorted coldly:

"Who dictates how to play Xuanhuan World?"

"I like riding horses, I want to ride horses, so what?"

"You guys like chasing Yao Bodies, you like snatching treasures, so go ahead."

"Anyway, I just want to ride horses; nothing else concerns me."

As soon as he said this, it immediately drew many loyal fans and old viewers to like it:

"Exactly, Xuanhuan World is an open-world game; play it however you want."

"There are even streamers in Huaguo who farm in mountain valleys; why don't you go scold them?"

"Arthur just wants to ride a horse, so what?"

Arthur smiled and nodded, looking at the bullet comments supporting him.

As expected of long-time viewers, they understood his thoughts perfectly.

But just then, an ill-timed bullet comment popped up:

"Arthur, you Western Country bumpkin! You don't understand the charm of Xuanhuan at all, your imagination is terrible!"

"Exactly, if you want to be a knight, why must you ride a horse?"

"Xuanhuan World has so many Demonic Beasts, Yao Beasts, and even the Yao Race; wouldn't it be better to ride them?"

"Now that the Yao Body has emerged, a bunch of the Yao Race are gathered there. If you find a Sheep Demon to ride, wouldn't that be more exhilarating than riding a Mortal horse?"

"And those bird Yao, if you put a bridle and saddle on them, can you imagine what it would feel like to ride them?"

Arthur's smile froze.

He stood stunned for a long time.

Suddenly, he felt goosebumps all over his body.

Something he had never imagined, never realized, was growing wildly in his mind.

Yes!

Why must I, a knight, ride a horse?

Riding Demonic Beasts, riding Yao Beasts, or even riding the Yao Race, wouldn't that be exhilarating?

Even that sky-obscuring Yao Body, if he could use it as a mount, how astonishing, how delightful would that be?

"This... this..."

Arthur opened his mouth, swallowed his saliva: "So that's it, this is Xuanhuan, this is the boundary of imagination... What kind of life have I been living before..."

The more Arthur thought about it, the more excited he became, wishing he could ride a member of the Yao Race right now.

At this moment, he thought of something else, logged into the forum, and looked up various Yao Beast and Yao Race illustrations.

There were no official ones, but players had compiled them.

"Fox Yao, Sheep Demon, Turtle Yao, even in their true forms, they're just so-so; riding them out would be embarrassing..." "Horse Yao, this is good. Deer Yao, this one looks a bit ethereal..." "What the hell is this?

"Legends say, the Phoenix and the Dragon?"

When he saw the images of the Phoenix and the Dragon, which only existed in ancient texts, Arthur froze completely.

An indescribable electric sensation swept through his entire body, starting from the crown of his head.

"This... this..."

He was speechless.

It was a long time before he realized that these two mythical species were just myths, and there was no possibility of obtaining them.

So he settled for the next best thing and saw more races:

Great Roc, Azure Luan, Flood Dragon, Black Tortoise... Arthur's eyes went wide.

He looked up at the camera and asked:

"So, how can I ride them?"

The bullet comments were also full of shock:

"Holy crap, can all these be ridden?"

"Are you kidding? These are all from the Yao Race, and even if they're just Yao Beasts, their strength is one stronger than the next. How many lives do you have to ride them?"

"It's simple, as long as Arthur's Realm is higher and he can suppress these Yao Beasts and the Yao Race, then he can ride them, right?"

Arthur's eyes lit up, as if he had achieved enlightenment:

"So that's it, so that's it."

"No wonder the guides from Huaguo said that Xuanhuan World is a world that places great importance on cultivation Realm."

"Cultivation is everything; Realm is omnipotent."

"If I want to ride a Great Yao, I must first be stronger than a Great Yao, so I must first become stronger."

"Then I can't waste time in this Immortal Dynasty anymore."

"I'll restart now, directly restart at the Northern Mountain front line. I also want to pursue the Yao Body and snatch treasures!"

Arthur decisively got up, crashed into a wall, died, and restarted...

There were quite a few streamers like Arthur.

As Season Two began, with the appearance of the Yao Race and the expansion of the map, many previously unnoticed ways of playing were gradually unearthed.

Most importantly, many players discovered that the Yao Race was truly full of treasures.

And to dig for treasures from the Yao Race, one's cultivation Realm had to first surpass the Yao Race.

Similarly, Yao Race players who didn't want to be plundered had to work hard to improve their cultivation Realm.

Thus, an unprecedented cultivation race began.

And the starting point of this race was the Yao Body Emergence event.
