"Hey? Jie, you’re logging off so early?" Gu Feiyu poked his head out from the crack of the bedroom door, looking curious.
"Yeah, I need to confirm so things." Xiao Jie flexed his wrist, "Just now, in the ga, I was a bit... high-profile. It might attract so unwanted attention."
"High-profile? What did you do?" Gu Feiyu was instantly interested and crawled out from his room.
Xiao Jie briefly recounted how he descended onto the battlefield with the deanor of an Immortal, quelling a war between Two Countries with a re gesture.
"Although not many know my real identity, there are so who do. Now, it’s very likely that so eyes are secretly watching ." Xiao Jie spoke calmly, even with a faint hint of sarcasm. He wasn’t too worried, in fact, he was sowhat... expectant. If no one causes trouble, so be it, but if so fool tries to test him, he wouldn’t mind using them for practice, to truly experience what the power of an Immortal can achieve in the real world.
"Whoa! Jie, you quietly did sothing so amazing!" Gu Feiyu’s eyes shone as he slapped his thigh hard, "Just listening to it sounds brilliant! But what a pity, what a pity, I was busy exploring maps in the Great Mountains for Immortal Fate and missed the spectacle; that’s a huge loss for !"
Hearing Gu Feiyu’s complaint, Xiao Jie responded, "If you want to see it, check the ga forums; players might have recorded videos. By the way, how is your search for ’Immortal Fate’ going? Any clues?"
"Sigh, it’s a long story..." Gu Feiyu imdiately deflated a little, his head drooping, "I did bump into an adventure, but it wasn’t Immortal Fate, almost turned into ’Demon Fate’! At first, I was a bit set in my ways, thought I encountered a reclusive Immortal, but it turned out to be nothing good, just a mind-bewitching Evil God, almost lost my life there. Luckily, I was quick-witted and reacted fast, managed to crawl out and even rescued an old man who was trapped with ."
He sighed and concluded, "It seems eting an Immortal isn’t that easy. I plan to change my strategy, start by visiting the Guardian Rooms and Book Storage Pavilions in all counties of the Nine States to systematically collect ancient literature and mythological records, to see if I can find definite clues related to Immortals, abodes, Ascension, etc. First, pinpoint the map location of Immortal Fate, then once I have a general direction, proceed to explore deeply."
"Hmm, that sounds like a good plan, go ahead." Xiao Jie nodded.
Gu Feiyu, however, didn’t leave imdiately but looked at Xiao Jie with so concern, "Jie, about the ’consequences’ you ntioned... you’re not referring to soone wanting to cause you trouble in real life, are you?"
"Trouble?" Xiao Jie chuckled lightly and shook his head, "Hardly. Even the most foolish person, with a bit of brain, wouldn’t directly make trouble for an ’Immortal’ like . However, if so self-proclaid smart individual thinks they can secretly monitor, observe, or even test my limits, that’s very possible."
With Xiao Jie’s understanding of human nature, his high-profile appearance as an "Immortal" in the ga would definitely cause a stir among various forces and individuals in the real world. The possible approaches they could take are basically several: flattery, attempts to win over, cautious probing, covert monitoring, or potential hostility... Of course, they might also take the wisest approach, which is to avoid and not provoke him actively.
The very existence of an Immortal, in itself, is an enormous variable breaking existing perceptions and rules. To prevent future, possibly successive troubles, Xiao Jie had already thought of counterasures before deciding to reveal himself — which is ruthless ’shocking’. As long as the other party shows any hint of malice or threat, or simply displeases him, he’s ready to punish them with thunderous ans.
To make them understand what kind of being they are dealing with.
When he was an ordinary person before, bound hand and foot, knowing certain people were despicable, he often had to choose to endure and pretend not to see, due to the limitations of law, rules, and his own abilities. Reflecting on it, he had encountered many injustices, suffered countless grievances.
Now that he’s attained the Immortal Position, possessing power beyond the mundane, there’s no need to endure such things anymore. Likewise, he wants to take this opportunity to make those plotting people fully understand — that he, Xiao Jie, this Immortal walking the mortal world, is not soone they can easily judge or provoke lightly!
He said no more, walked straight to the center of the living room, sat cross-legged, and gathered himself. As he gradually entered a state of forgetting himself and roaming the Void with a mysterious tranquility, his powerful Divine Sense slowly expanded in all directions like rcury spreading. Within a ten-mile radius, whether it was the bustling streets or mundane household chores within residential buildings, even the slight wing vibrations of insects in the bushes, all movents were captured and perceived by his vast Spiritual Sense.
He quietly operated a subtle Immortal Law—Telepathy·Spirit Rhinoceros Reflection. Although this technique can’t directly read others’ specific thoughts, it can keenly sense whether the hearts of nearby creatures harbor malice, hostility, or ill intentions towards him. As soon as any negative emotion towards him arises, he can clearly perceive its source and approximate intensity at the first instance.
As ti ticked by, Xiao Jie remained as still as a monk in ditation.
After a long ti, he slowly opened his eyes, a complex look in his eyes, with so satisfaction and a hint of... disappointnt that was hard to conceal.
Under the probing of his Spiritual Sense and "Spirit Rhinoceros Reflection," everything around was normal. No suspicious surveillance personnel were present. It seed those wielding power were not foolish and, for now, hadn’t done any foolish things to overstep. Similarly, no player forces, having acquired so ga power, had co nearby to court trouble.
"What a pity..." Xiao Jie thought with so regret, he had hoped for a chance to test his skills, to experience the specific effects and subtleties of Immortal Law in reality. It seed, for now, that chance hasn’t arrived.
But since his Immortal identity exposure had just occurred, today’s absence didn’t an it wouldn’t happen in the future. Xiao Jie had a feeling, sooner or later, so reckless individual would appear near him, and we’ll see which fool cos to deliver their head first.
