Chapter 616: Chapter 616 – Fire Qilin’s Secret
Chapter 616: Fire Qilin’s Secret
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The greatest secret within Sky Demon Secret Cave was that it imprisoned a Fire Qilin!
The Fire Qilin was the fiercest intelligent creature with the greatest yang qi . It was different from ordinary intelligent beasts and was very smart . It could live for a long time, and its strength was comparable to that of a powerful martial artist in Myth Realm!
Sky Demon Sect might have one Fire Qilin, but they could not control it . In the end, they could only set up a matrix and set up an environment that was of extreme yang and extreme yin in the cave where the qilin stayed .
The extreme yang environment was a place where the Fire Qilin loved staying, and the extreme yin environment was where Sky Demon Sect rested and grew . It was also where Sky Demon Secret Cave was, which was also the place where the real Sky Demon Sect was located!
In Happy’s previous life, countless great players guessed that the tunnels near the Fire Qilin were used by Sky Demon Sect to prevent the Fire Qilin from moving about and hurting people with its scorching flames . They had set up an illusory matrix so that it would act cautiously .
But because of their actions, the Fire Qilin was not as rash and violent as before, and was instead cunning as well as cautious in everything it did . It became much harder to deal with, and even a peerless martial artist like Shi Zhixuan had a headache when he faced it .
However, there was a rumor in World of Martial Artists stating that if anyone could get a scale from the Fire Qilin, they could refine a weapon once with 100% success . The rumor came from Duan Lang’s Fire Qilin Sword, who was of Wind and Cloud!
The difference between the third and fourth echelons was as great as night and day, and many players could not get fourth-echelon equipment even if they used up all their money . In fact, the money required to get a fourth-echelon equipment could destroy the life and empty the storage of a middle-sized and even a large-sized sect .
But when countless powerful players from Happy’s previous life learned that the Fire Qilin’s scale had such an amazing effect, they surged over . Batches of elites came over, and they could be said to have truly cast aside their lives for a Fire Qilin Scale that was worth more than one hundred million!

Once that passed, another piece of news circulated among the players .
The Fire Qilin’s blood had an effect similar to Illusion Life and Death Pill . It could heal wounds, replenish qi, and its effects were great .
The Fire Qilin and Sky Demon Sect became a popular spot for players to gather for a period of time!
However, there were only a handful of people who could get the Fire Qilin’s scale, and no one was ever lucky enough to get its blood .
The Fire Qilin was incredibly cunning and stubborn .
It was an intelligent creature that was born while supporting the world, and it was a creature that clung on to life . It had a strong physical body, and when it moved, it was like the wind and fire . When injured, it would immediately jump into the depths of flames and not come out for a long period of time .
Because Happy knew of the Fire Qilin’s natural instincts and strength, he did not bring his party into the second tunnel to the right .
He asked Momo to come alongside him with the intention of heading to Extreme Yin Cave and going to the real Sky Demon Secret Cave . Even though that place could not compare to the moving treasure trove that was the Fire Qilin, it had been around for years and housed Sky Demon Sect . It would definitely have a lot of spoils of war, along with Fire Qilin Scales and Fire Qilin Blood hidden among them . However, Sky Demon Secret Cave was extremely dangerous, and the treasures were all hidden within Sky Demon Illusion .
Momo stood at the entrance to the second tunnel to the right and sensed the hot waves coming from within while frowning .
“I don’t recall it being so hot earlier…”
“Ignore it . Since the people from Wind Assault Tower are already inside, it’s not convenient for us to go in, or we’ll cause misunderstandings . ”
“If we don’t go there, where are we going?”
“The other cave . ” Happy pointed at the entrance .
“But we don’t have a Fire Evasion Pearl . ” Momo did not forget that when they left the fiery tunnel, Happy had taken the initiative to return the Fire Evasion Pearl .
“It’s fine . It won’t be hard for me to carry one person . ”
Happy’s Nine Yang Divine Skill had the effect of absorbing the yang qi in the world, and he could use it on another person too .
But before he finished speaking, an ancient roar that sounded like a thunderclap rose from the tunnel to the right . The entire cave shook slightly, and echoes of it could be heard nonstop .

The two’s expressions changed .
“What’s that?!”
Momo looked at the tunnel quickly, and she noticed that the light inside seemed to be getting brighter . The heat from within was also scorching, as if something was quickly approaching them .
Happy’s expression changed drastically, and he hastily told Momo to leave . “This is bad! We have to go!”
Right when the duo turned around, Wu Kuo’s panicked screams came from the tunnel . “Young Swordsman Happy, are you outside?! Please, save my sister!!”
When Happy heard that, he scowled and stopped moving .
‘Phantasmal Shadow is in trouble? Damn it…’
He gritted his teeth, and under Momo’s surprised gaze, he turned around resolutely .
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Wu Kuo and three other elites from Wind Assault Tower shot out one after another from the tunnel . They were surrounded by smoke and looked like workers who had just come out of a coal mine . Their faces and bodies were dark, and there were many black splotches on their skin where they had been scorched . They breathed rapidly, and their chests heaved . They looked incredibly pathetic .
“Young Swordsman Happy, our tower master is still inside…”
“There’s a Fire Qilin over there . We don’t know its qi realm, but we’re absolutely not its opponent . One of ours has already died in its hands . ”
Wu Kuo and his people were at least still a little smart . When they saw Happy turn around, they were delighted, but they did not let happiness take over their heads . They quickly described what was happening inside .
“A Fire Qilin?!”
Momo had experience in fighting against fierce intelligent beasts before, so when she heard about the intelligent creature of the world, her experience instantly turned incredibly solemn . “The Fire Qilin is at the very least at Myth Realm . Happy, you can’t go…”
Even though Momo did not know the situation, if one intelligent beast could leave Phantasmal Shadow and her group of elites in such a pathetic state, its strength was self-evident .
Wu Kuo and the others instantly looked at Happy with anxious expressions .
“Don’t worry . ” Happy gave Momo a look telling her to be at ease and said, “Since Phantasmal Shadow is still fine, I can last for some time inside . Use a Fire Evasion Pearl to leave first . I’ll hold it back here for a while, then will catch up with you . ”
Once he finished speaking, he took hold of his sword hilt and moved to the entrance while staring intently at the rapidly brightening light . His expression gradually became solemn .
“Alright!” Wu Kuo was delighted .
It was already enough that Happy had said that .
Happy was rather famous in the game for being chivalrous . Since he agreed to help, he would definitely not go back on his word .
“No . If you’re not leaving, I’m not leaving either . ”
At that moment, Momo suddenly became obstinate . She drew a sword and went to stand beside Happy .
Wu Kuo and the others gritted their teeth . “We can’t let you take the risk while we run either… Brothers, forget about running, we’ll stay here as well and fight against that Fire Qilin…”
“What are you saying?!”
Phantasmal Shadow’s movements were like that of a phantom . Like a drifting wind, she quickly came out of the tunnel . There was a ball of fire that was like a small sun behind her, and it came with an aggressive momentum!
“Go! No weapons can harm the Fire Qilin! It’s not easy to deal with!”
Phantasmal Shadow immediately saw Happy and Momo at the entrance and felt delighted, but that delight immediately faded away as she gave them a warning .
Happy ignored her .
With a frown, he tightened his grip on the sword hilt . While the Fire Qilin, who occasionally craned its head out through its flames, drew closer, his heart returned to the state where he was as calm as water .
Footsteps, heat waves, and the fearful screams from Phantasmal Shadow and the others were all cast behind him .
The only thing in his mind was the Fire Qilin!
One sword…
He only had one chance to deliver a single slash .
When the Fire Qilin arrived near the entrance with an aggressive presence, it craned its head out from its flames . Its eyes were as big as a fist, and it glared at Happy and the others in an awe-inspiring manner . Its pressure was astonishing!
Clang!
Emperor Shocks World!
There was a silver dragon within the attack’s sword force, and it was like a waterfall cascading from the sky . It grazed past Phantasmal Shadow and disappeared into the tunnel, charging straight at the Fire Qilin, who had craned its head outward .
It had no way of escaping!

A Virtual Invasion
An invasion from another dimension is shut down by an Empire's traitor and the world has a scant few decades to build the strength to resist a multidimensional Empire. How will the world fair when no one even knows its doom is one barred gate away? Fortunately, the traitor has a plan. Maybe with a bit of luck and planning, he can build a force to defend the world without anyone realizing it. Author's Thoughts: What is litRPG (From wikipedia) - LitRPG, short for Literary Role Playing Game, is a literary genre combining the conventions of MMORPGs with science-fiction fantasy novels.[1] LitRPG is a literary genre where games or game-like challenges form an essential part of the story. A LitRPG work simultaneously narrates the story of characters inside and outside of the game-world. At least some of the characters in a LitRPG novel therefore understand that they are playing a game: they are 'meta-aware'. So, while Tolkien's Lord of the Rings is a fantasy novel, a book about people creating avatars and interacting in a Lord of the Rings MMORPG would be a LitRPG novel.Why do I read them? You know, I am not too sure. I love MMOs. I played them, quit them, joined up and repeated the cycle. They are fun! They are a massive waste of time but so are most games. Do I want to read about someone else playing them? Sort of?The advent of VR and the possibility of VR someday becoming so immersive that you can't tell them from reality sets the imagination on fire. What if this could be life? But most stories fall short. At the end of the day the protagonist hangs up his VR helmet and goes to have dinner with his mom and dad or other family and it becomes meaningless. It's like the story that ends because the main character woke up and nothing you read matters.There have been some books that explore the concept of the intersection of reality and total immersion VR. Enders Game is a classic. There were a few others that escape me but they exist, however, the cross between the game and reality is weak.So what if the game was real? The technology needed for total immersion VR is so advanced that by the time we reach that goal technology should have naturally evolved to include several items. You must have direct neural input. You simply can't have a total immersion (all senses and perfect presence) experience without this basic prerequisite. If you have direct neural access, you can probably do neat things like feed knowledge and skills directly to that person. You can undoubtedly do many horrible things as well. Muscles are controlled by the brain. If you control the brain why would you let the body just sit there and rot? A person that sits unmoving for 24 hours a day will have their body whither away just like a coma patient. However, if you control the brain you could control the muscles. On a basic level, this would be isometric impulses, working muscle group against muscle group to avoid atrophy. Taken to its logical conclusion you would be able to gain muscle mass and program muscle memory. The flip side is that you could remote control their body... but let's not go there. So what would people do if it were real? Well, they would probably limit and regulate it since the drawbacks are very obvious. Even if you look at the basic aspects of this you can see some negative possibilities. Look at the Sword Art Online anime. Personally, I think they missed the boat by putting a bomb in the VR helmet. Do you really need a bomb when you have direct access to the brain?So what kind of events would you need to have a situation where the obvious drawbacks haven't been explored? Maybe a society where the advancement of technology has so far outstripped the explorations of its applications that ignorance was truly bliss? Okay, so I had to put in an alien invasion to kickstart the premise, but that was just one of the possibilities.
