– Yundian Upper Realm –
The Yundian Upper Realm was called an ‘Upper Realm’ because its position was higher than most of the other cultivation forces!
If the words of the Three Saint Gates were edicts among the cultivation forces, the Yundian Upper Realm thought that their words had almost the same weight.
For example, when they recently ordered the severance of the sales and resources channels of the Wuwei Daoist Alliance, all the forces obeyed without hesitation.
However, they were not happy because of this. The Wuwei Daoist Alliance was just an insect in their eyes, but this force didn’t submit to them; instead, they rebelled!
They used a special method to break the sanction against them!
Gongshu Kuo smelled the fragrance of tea that was floating up from the teacup in his hand and said mildly, “It seems that the Wuwei Daoist Alliance doesn’t plan to submit.”
Gongyang Jun looked angry. “What are those guys thinking?! They are working against us for such a small interest!”
Gongshu Kuo sipped the tea and said, “I’m afraid that the interest isn’t small.”
“What then?” Gongyang Jun snickered. “Magic instillation? They are just trivial novelties. Look at the things they sell! Only low-level cultivators would use these things!”
“Not only that!” Gongshu Kuo said calmly, “It’s said that they got some other good stuff. Since they can’t get the real benefits from the Cultivation Realm, it’s understandable that they resort to something inferior.”
Then, he slammed his hand on the table and said with a cold expression, “However, they keep ignoring our Yundian Upper Realm and even work against us in the public. If we can’t solve this issue, other people will copy them and take the words of Yundian Upper Realm as bullsh*t!”
“Brother Gongshu, what shall we do?”
“Since they don’t listen to our gentle persuasion,” Gongshu Kuo said in a chilling voice, “then, we must do it the hard way.”

– Biqi Mine Pit –
All the people were chilled by the scene they had glimpsed.
If they are players, then why are the monsters working with them?! Is it possible that those players have the skill to enslave monsters?! What are the two guards wearing yellow armor?!
The two rune spells rose in the darkness had toughened the monsters who had been tough to deal with in the first place! The rune spells weakened all the magic and physical attacks on them!
These terrifying monsters were buffed up with spells!
The royal guards might be able to deal with one of these horrifying powerful monsters, but when several creatures charged together, they had obliterated the team of about dozens of people! A few players destroyed more than a dozen!
What things do those players have that enable them to have such extraordinary power? What is going on?
At this moment, with players charging into the Corpse King Hall, an immense amount of death energy flowed into the mine pit, and new corpse kings began to take shape in the deserted mine!
– In the gloomy darkness –
“Warriors, charge forward!”
“Wizards, use the Lightning Spell! Taoists, release Fire Notes! Heal!”
Ji Wu roared in a fury while a big, pale-skinned corpse king chased after a group of royal guards who were about level 20.
Then, a scream sounded as someone died!
“Don’t panic! The dead ones resp.a.w.n right away and come back!” Ji Wu had dozens of people, and one to two deaths had no big consequences. With more than ten warriors charging forward and the wizards and Taoists casting spells wildly from behind, even this corpse king was not their match. With a scream, it died and dropped items all over the ground.
[Holy Armor Spell], [Group Healing Spell], [a.s.sa.s.sination Sword Technique], and [Magic s.h.i.+eld].
Ji Wu picked up the ancient books and flipped through them.
“Your Majesty… These are…” Yu Chi looked at him in confusion.
Ji Wu tossed some of the skill books to Yu Chi. “Try them!”
The Soul Fire Rune Note turned into a huge rune character in the air, and all the people sensed that they were engulfed by a strange force.
“What do you think?” Ji Wu asked.
“You can test it!” Ji Wu yelled and hacked with his sword, and Yu Chi blocked his attack with his weapon!
Dang!
Yu Chi retreated half a step and said, “The force was reduced, but not much.”
The effect is average? Ji Wu was baffled. In the shop which had produced the powerful sword techniques as shown in the Legend of the Sword and Fairy and Wind and Cloud, the spiritual spells should be more powerful than this.
“However, this spiritual spell has a large area of effect,” Yu Chi said, “If we stand together tighter, all of us will be covered.”
It had a large area of effect but only moderate power. Was it only a minor spiritual spell? It could be used in the game, but what effect could it have in the real world?
In the battle between masters, what effect could this thing have? It was no match for ordinary sword control technique, let alone the Heavenly Sword!
Ji Wu shook his head in disappointment.
Then, he heard Yu Chi say, “This rune note looks simple and effective, and it requires zero skill level. If we promote it in the military, it has good prospects.”
After all, Yu Chi had never played the games before and thus was not as picky as the other players.
Hearing his words, Ji Wu’s body shook suddenly!
Yeah! Why should I use the techniques myself?!
As the Emperor of Dajin, what was his most powerful force?
Was it his individual cultivation strength? No!
As an emperor of a country, his most powerful force was the military!
A large military consisted of ordinary warriors and cultivators, and an elite army made of tens of thousands of grand warriors and cultivators, and a team of royal guards comprised of thousands of high-level warriors and cultivators!
However, his military wasn’t so great. Half of the hundreds of thousands of ordinary warriors would die to the spiritual spells before they could get close to their enemies if they fought with the Yundian Upper Realm’s army, which consisted of at least 100,000 cultivators!
His elite army of tens of thousands of grand warriors and cultivators was no match for the elite team of thousands of cultivators from big cultivation forces! Even with the a.s.sistance of the Wuwei Daoist Alliance, he couldn’t defeat huge forces such as the Yundian Upper Realm, and that was why Dajin had stopped their western expansion!
However, equipped with these spiritual spells, the military of Dajin would become an iron army in the future!
An Iron Army!
Looking at the Group Healing Spell in his hand, a thought dawned on him.
Maybe the things in the game were not for the super masters but for training soldiers and lower-level members of different forces?
In fact, Ji Wu was right. In the history of this continent in the game, the most powerful G.o.dly Dragon Empire had once sent three commanders and many soldiers to travel across snowy mountains to fight the one-million-strong orc army for the local humans.
On their way back after the victory, they were blocked by an avalanche of the northern snow mountain. The army couldn’t return to their homeland and had to settle in this land.
They left the three professions, which were the core systems of the army of the G.o.dly Dragon Empire!
As time went on, the most powerful masters of the three teams were called the Almighty Daoist, Wizard G.o.d, and Holy Warrior, and people addressed them as the Three Heroes in the war against the Red Moon Devil.
Their descendants began exploring this continent and searching for the way home.
This was the historic background of the game.
The spiritual spells and techniques in the Legend of Mir 2 were not the most powerful ones, but they were the easiest to master and fastest to learn! This feature was perfect for training soldiers!
Just imagine, who would let their soldiers learn techniques such as the Heavenly Sword, Sword G.o.d, or G.o.dly Sword Lightning-Controlling True Spell?
In contrast, the Lightning Spell was the advanced and simplified version of the ordinary Thunder Spell!
The Fire Wall Spell was the advanced and simplified version of the ordinary Fire Spell!
As for the Slaying Sword Technique and a.s.sa.s.sination Sword Techniques, they were the advanced and simplified version of the ordinary sword techniques and sword energies!
You can imagine hundreds of thousands of soldiers commanding G.o.dly beasts, using magic s.h.i.+elds, and unleas.h.i.+ng fireb.a.l.l.s.
However, you can’t imagine each of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers using the Heavenly Sword or Sword G.o.d techniques! It was impossible.
This was the advantage of these spiritual spells and combat techniques in the Legend of Mir 2!
At this thought, Ji Wu waved his zhanmadao and said, “Let’s test the a.s.sa.s.sination Sword Technique.”
From the description of the skill book, the a.s.sa.s.sination Sword Technique seemed to be a penetrative essence, and the blade energies that it formed was different from the warrior qi that Ji Wu had learned.
These blade energies could create a special force after leaving the sword and could pierce any monster’s body without a noise; it could also pierce wizard’ s.h.i.+elds and damage their bodies!
It was the key to a.s.sa.s.sination!
Ji Wu hacked his saber and saw a bolt of white blade energy that was condensed by essence from his Dantian slas.h.i.+ng out and solidifying after it left his body.
Yu Chi tried to block it with his saber, but the blade energy pierced Yu Chi’s saber in silence, and Yu Chi’s expression changed drastically!
Ji Wu’s eyes lit up. “Go and get more people! I’ll be claiming this area and will get all the skill books!”
