Elizabeth seemed able to see the expression on Leo’s face and added, “I know what you’re thinking. The game I’ve developed is a mimicry of reality. Once you’re in it, there’s no difference from the real world.”
“If you complete the game’s tasks, you will gain an increase in cultivation. If you fail or die, your real-world cultivation will also decrease. Handsome guy, good luck.”
After Elizabeth finished speaking, the screen vanished.
Breaking the geomancy setup in the game, it really is a world where anything can happen.
Well, I’m a Cultivator myself. Breaking a geomancy setup is child’s play.
Leo turned around and started to inspect the land.
The area had the shape of a “cage mouth,” and looking at the tomb in front, it was quite large and imposing.
However, the shape of the tomb was odd; from a distance, it appeared as a parallelogram.
Approaching it, the black diamond-shaped tombstone was very striking. What irritated Leo most was that the black tombstone was inscribed with four red characters-Leo’s Tomb!
Elizabeth really had a sense of “humor”.
Surrounded by the tomb were dense pine and cypress trees, casting mottled shadows under the sunlight, adding a certain solemnity to the environment.
Besides the tomb in front of Leo, there were two others to the left and right, slightly smaller than the middle one and with unmarked black tombstones.
The three tombs were situated on a hill that resembled a dragon’s mouth, surrounded by hills, as if the stars held the moon, lifting the hill in their midst.
Observing the layout of the three tombs, they appeared to stand in a formation of mutual support.
Standing on this hilltop, the view was unobstructed, with no higher mountains in sight.
Standing on the hill, looking down at the undulating hills, a surge of heroism spontaneously arose.
Especially with two lines of hills on either side, flanked by bodies of water, resembling troops marching in staggered formation, orderly rushing toward the position of the Azure Dragon, assembling at the flank, ready to advance towards the front at any moment.
“Forming troops, quite interesting…” Leo muttered to himself. Though annoyed, his interest in deciphering the tomb’s geomancy was piqued.
In geomancy, formations that gather troops generally indicate a leader’s potential to gain fame and prominence.
However, those that gather tend to be small mountains, a sign often associated with clan extermination.
Because the mountains are small and circle against each other, followed by hostile shapes, hence occasionally regarded as a symbol of clan gathering for execution, the difference is only a slight one.
Unexpectedly, Elizabeth had crafted such a geomantic setup in the game and even made a prank with the main tombstone inscribed with her own name. How could Leo tolerate this? It must be broken.
The three tombs formed a horn-shaped strategy, and Leo moved behind the main tomb, his eyes sparkling as his spiritual sense spread out, beginning to feel the geomancy of the place.
As anticipated, the geomantic energy of the area exhibited abnormal fluctuations.
Under the perception of his spiritual sense, bursts of icy energy assaulted Leo, though all were dissipated by his protective spiritual power.
To break the geomantic setup, one must first identify its weaknesses, then prescribe the right solution to succeed.
Leo, full of confidence, soon saw changes in his expression because, mixed with the icy energy he sensed, there were also traces of extreme yang energy.
This extreme yang energy, although also blocked by his protective spiritual power, could not prevent the heat that permeated through, giving him a feeling of entering a furnace.
Leo withdrew his spiritual sense, and only then did the baking sensation disappear.
Returning in front of the main tomb, Leo flipped his right hand, and three sticks of incense appeared.
He then bowed three times towards the main tomb, inscribed with his own name.
After the bows, Leo placed the incense in front of the tombstone, then retreated about three meters and sat down cross-legged on the ground.
Taking out the Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak, Leo felt even more amazed by the game Elizabeth developed. Not only could his consciousness enter the game, but his spiritual weapon could also enter.
As for whether it was a real existence or merely a projection of his consciousness in the game, Leo was no longer able to distinguish.
In this game, what Leo felt most deeply was the complete absence of boundaries between reality and virtuality.
Hard to believe how Elizabeth managed to achieve this, given the current level of human technology, this seemed impossible.
Placing the Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak in front of him, Leo released his spiritual sense and spiritual power together.
Under the impact of his spiritual power on the geomantic energy of the place, that feeling of cold mixed with burning instantly assaulted his body, more intensely than before.
Leo made a hand seal, a spiritual decision toward the ground’s Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak.
The Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak trembled twice, then emitted a faint black light.
Leo’s calm expression became stern, changing another hand seal, while the spiritual power within his body rapidly circulated outward.
The spiritual power divided into three streams, simultaneously pressing towards the three tombs in front of him, with the most considerable spiritual power pressing towards the main tomb.
As Leo chanted the incantation, his hands rapidly changed, and with a shout of “Pardon!” he pushed his hands forward, three symbols appearing from his hands, simultaneously striking into the three tombs’ tombstones.
As the three symbols struck, the sunny hilltop suddenly experienced a violent wind, and even the sky darkened.
The surrounding pine and cypress trees swayed strangely in the wind, as if ghosts were crying.
The geomantic energy of the place was entirely stirred up by Leo, making it feel like being in a violent whirlpool.
The whirlpool roared, wanting to tear apart the initiator, but Leo, sitting cross-legged on the ground, remained immovable.
The cold mixed with burning sensation also became more violent. Leo changed another hand seal, stomped his left foot, and simultaneously struck a seal toward the ground’s Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak.
The odd sound was heard, as if the ground trembled a bit.
The icy and hot breath that hit Leo suddenly changed direction, rushing towards the Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak on the ground.
The black tombstones in front of the three graves suddenly turned crimson, and the Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak slowly floated up from the ground, emitting three black rays of light that penetrated into the crimson tombstones.
In response, after the black light entered, three crimson rays of light shot out simultaneously from the three crimson tombstones and entered the Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak.
The whistling wind suddenly stopped, but the frenzied aura continued to rush into the Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak.
The Nine Abyss Suppresses Evil Peak seemed like an infinite container, under Leo’s control, attempting to absorb the strange hot and cold breaths of this place completely.
