Lu Wu was the messenger who sent the notifications to the major forces to attend the Cultivation Realm Conference.

Even though he was only a messenger, he enjoyed a high status that ordinary forces must look up to.

After all, the Wuwei Daoist Alliance had lined up to welcome him, and even Alliance Master Lan Mo greeted him personally.

The ancient mythical place, the Cultivation Realm, only allowed cultivators to enter, and warriors weren’t allowed. It was a rule that no one could break.

All this was the result of the lofty position of the Three Saint Gates!

– At the Wuwei Daoist Alliance –

“Alliance Master Lan, what’s your decision?” Lu Wu narrowed his eyes. He knew he wasn’t a patient man since he had many other places to visit. “Have you decided on the candidates and related issues?”

This wasted a lot of his time, and he hated wasting time.

“Ugh…” Lan Mo looked indecisive.

“What?” Lu Wu looked aloof. “Do you think three spots are not enough for you?! What a joke! Your Wuwei Daoist Alliance…”

“No…” Lan Mo interrupted him in embarrassment. “We have less talented cultivators recently…”

He took out the white jade token and handed it to Lu Wu, saying, “To save resources for this Cultivation Realm Conference, the Wuwei Daoist Alliance have decided not to attend it!”

Lu Wu’s expression was priceless!

“What?! Can you say it again?!” Lu Wu thought that he had heard it wrong. “Don’t you know that even if the candidates don’t get the access to the Cultivation Realm, they will receive bountiful rewards as long as they do well in the conference?”

“Ugh…” Lan Mo’s face turned dark. “I’m afraid that our disciples are so weak that they will embarrass the Wuwei Daoist Alliance.”

Lu Wu’s brain turned blank. After all, the other forces would try their best to boast their strengths, but the Wuwei Daoist Alliance…

Is this guy a fool?! Or they just don’t want to attend the conference?!

It was the only explanation.

With a snort, Lu Wu took back the white jade token and said coldly, “Since the Wuwei Daoist Alliance doesn’t care to join us, then suit yourself!”

In a huff, he walked out of the Wuwei Daoist Alliance and boarded his spiritual boat.

“Sir, why are you so angry?” The white-robed and white-bearded old man bowed to him. “Is the Wuwei Daoist Alliance too greedy?”

“Ungrateful!” Lu Wu said with a snort, “A bunch of ungrateful people!”

“They didn’t ask for more spots?” the old man asked curiously.

“Lan Mo gave me many excuses and handed back the white jade token!” Lu Wu said, “They don’t even care to send some ordinary disciples to the conference.”

Of course, he didn’t know that the cultivators who agreed to go to the conference were so weak that even a moron could see something was wrong. It was better to give up altogether.

“They did that?!” The old man froze. “In the past, they just…”

“They just fought for more spots!” Lu Wu said, “I find this quite strange, and I wonder if someone is making trouble for us! I’ll report it to my superior and will have someone investigate this issue!”

“We must take it seriously!” The old man looked grim. “Such things never happened in the past!”

“However, didn’t Lan Mo say anything detailed?” he asked.

“He was very careful!” Lu Wu snorted. “Forget it! Someone will handle this issue!”

…

Fang Qi always thought that he was diligent.

After opening the Game Cultivation Room, he found the familiar game characters.

The Paladin was now above level 30, and he had great items. Also, the offensive aura, Holy Shock, was now also more than level 10.

When the darkness retreated, Fang Qi saw the gloomy sky and a wasteland filled with the intense smell of blood and rotten soil.

His game character, the Paladin, stood before him with a crystal sword in his right hand and a golden light shield in his left hand. Dressed in a silver knight armor, he looked quite magnificent.

Cultivation: Paladin, Holy Shock

Synchronization (Holy Shock): 53%

Total synchronization: 36.8%

Like his game character Li Xiaoyao, this game character was also devoid of any emotions. He lifted his sword, and white lightning flashes appeared in the space around him, turning the area within 30 meters of him into a forbidden zone full of lightning bolts!

Meanwhile, dense lightning flashes crashed into the ground around him, turning into blinding lights.

He lifted his shield and charged toward Fang Qi like a silver tank!

At the same time, the ground around Fang Qi was also covered with a layer of white lightning flashes!

The bright lights formed when the large amounts of lightning energy collided with the ground. Lightning energy also permeated the air, but they didn’t collide into anything tough.

At this moment, their lightning energies hit each other.

Fang Qi shook while a tingling sensation spread all over his body. At this moment, a translucent crystal sword slashed toward him!

Fang Qi lifted his sword to block it in a hurry.

As the two swords collided, a large amount of white lighting flashes exploded between their blades!

Meanwhile, the spiritual aura around their bodies changed into lightning bolts and attacked each other.

Although these lightning bolts were not powerful enough to kill, the lightning pulses that they released could disturb their focus, and it was hard to defend!

This Fang Qi’s game character was strong, but he wasn’t as strong as Li Xiaoyao; Fang Qi could still defend himself.

However, the feeling of being attacked by constant lightning pulses wasn’t a good sensation!

Gritting his teeth, Fang Qi was determined to finish this battle!

Different from Li Xiaoyao’s sword control techniques, the Paladin attacked with sword and shield; his sword techniques were simple but effective, and the sudden shield strikes always caught Fang Qi off guard!

More importantly, when Holy Shock was used, Fang Qi would be attacked by the powerful lightning currents whenever his weapon collided with his opponent’s sword or shield!

This was why Holy Shock was so powerful; its damage was not limited to certain weapons. Even sticks would deal a lot of damage with Holy Shock active.

Recently, Fang Qi had been practicing the Innumerable Sword Scroll and Holy Shock in the Game Cultivation Room alternatively. If he didn’t have time to practice during the day, he would do it after the internet cafe was closed for the night.

– Meanwhile in a distant place –

An old man wearing a white robe with golden trims, the same outfit as Lu Wu’s, was sitting cross-legged in meditation.

At this moment, the communication jade hanging at his belt lit up.

“The Wuwei Daoist Alliance gave up on attending the conference?!”

“It has been a long time since people from the Saint Gates traveled in the world. It seems that some people are trying to make trouble…”
