Chapter 1: Crossing Over into the Immortal Realm

  A man died after continuously playing video games for six days and nights in front of his computer.

  Yesterday night, a man who was surfing the internet at ×× Internet cafe suddenly fainted in front of the computer. The internet cafe staff immediately dialed 120 to call an ambulance, but when medical personnel arrived on the scene, they confirmed that the man had died.

  After investigation, it was learned that the man's name is Lin Tianyang, 24 years old, a well-known professional player in the online gaming world, and he established an online gaming studio. At the time of the incident, Lin Tianyang was playing a game adapted from "Mortal Cultivation" with several members of his studio. According to the studio members, in order to make money in this recently popular game, Lin Tianyang, as the commander-in-chief of the studio, had been online for six days and six nights without almost any rest, and lack of sleep was likely the main cause of Lin Tianyang's sudden death.

  Here is the translation:

  "Here, the reporter reminds all online game enthusiasts: when playing online games, do not get too engrossed, otherwise the consequences will be unthinkable!"

  (X × Evening News reporter: shocking waves)

  Lin Tianyang opened his eyes to find himself lying on a high platform, with three groups of people staring at him intently from below in three different directions.

  These people were all dressed in ancient costumes, leaving Lin Tianyang somewhat bewildered. How did he end up here? Had he somehow stumbled onto a film set?

  Lin Tianyang made a strenuous effort to recall, as if he was just playing "Mortal Xiuxian" with his brothers in his workshop, and had just become the first person to clear the sixth floor of the Tongtian Tower副本 in this new game, defeating Yu Huang. He seemed to have just picked up a real treasure card that Yu Huang had dropped, so how did he suddenly end up here?

  Lin Tianyang was feeling puzzled when he suddenly noticed that he was holding something in his hand. Upon closer inspection, why did the thing in his hand look so much like a talisman from the game?

  "Lin Tianyang, I didn't think you could get back up after being hit by my Fu Bao. This time, you won't be so lucky!"

  The thoughts in his mind were interrupted by a man's loud shout, Lin Tianyang looked at the man who was also on the high platform, shouting and pointing at a paper symbol floating in front of him, and to his surprise, the paper symbol suddenly turned into an ice wheel.

  Shrimp rice? What's going on?

  Lin Tianyang was shocked at the sight, but before he could even react, he saw that person shouting at the ice wheel: "Go!" The ice wheel flew straight towards him.

  Lin Tianyang was shocked and pale, almost subconsciously throwing the talisman out of his hand. At the moment it was thrown out, he only felt that some kind of power in his body seemed to be drawn away by the talisman. The talisman suddenly transformed into a fiery knife with raging flames right in front of Lin Tianyang.

  As soon as he saw this, Lin Tianyang's mind immediately flashed with the idea of letting the Flame Knife slash towards the incoming Ice Wheel. As soon as this thought appeared, the Flame Knife really did slash towards the Ice Wheel. Lin Tianyang suddenly discovered that he had some kind of strange connection with the Flame Knife, which shocked him greatly.

  The moment the ice wheel came into contact with the flame knife, it was cut in two, and then the flame knife continued to sweep towards the man who had released the ice wheel without stopping.

  "Not good, this is a real treasure!" Someone shouted. Then three old men over sixty years old flew out of the crowd one after another and landed on the high platform in front of the man, releasing three layers of shimmering light shields at the same time.

  The Flame Blade slashed directly onto the light shield, bursting out with a loud "Boom!" The high platform that had been set up in an instant was blown down and collapsed by half.

  Lin Tianyang stood at the edge of the collapsed high platform, staring at the scene in front of him, his mouth agape with shock and unable to speak.

  After a moment, three disheveled old men with tattered clothes crawled out of the rubble of the collapsed high platform. One of them, with half his beard burned off, glared at another old man covered in soot and shouted: "Lin Yin Feng, your Lin family is too treacherous! You actually used something like True Treasure!"

  That old man with a face full of ash wiped his own face, seemingly also full of resentment. Upon hearing someone accusing him, he immediately retorted: "Fang Zhe, don't be the first to complain, wasn't it your Fang family who first used the symbol treasure? Besides, during the trial, there was no rule that said we couldn't use real treasures!"

  An old man named Fang Zhe obviously didn't agree, and sneered after a cold hum: "Isn't it just for the quota of being an inner disciple of Lei Yan Sect and getting one-tenth of the spiritual stones in the next three years? Your Lin family is actually willing to use real treasures for this, don't you think this deal is losing money?"

  "No matter what, in the end it's still our Lin family that won this three-family young disciples' competition, no matter how much of a price we paid!" Lin Yin Feng said with an air of nonchalance, but after saying that, he couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache. Those were real treasures!

  "Since you've said so, I have nothing more to say! Farewell!" Fang Zhēn nodded and directly pulled out the remaining Fang family members from the ruins, huffing and puffing as he led the Fang family away.

  Leng Fei, who had been silent among the three elders, also cupped his hands and said: "Lin brother, to be honest, although I don't want to see the Fang family win the Three Families' New Sharpness Competition for the third time in a row, using a real treasure for this little benefit is really not worth it!"

  Hearing Lin Fei say this, Lin Yin Feng's heart was bleeding. That was a real treasure! The symbol of the treasure only exerted one-tenth of the power of a golden elixir period cultivator's magic treasure, but this true treasure could exert one-third of its power! Thinking of this, his old face couldn't help but twitch.

  Leng Fei saw him with this expression, and immediately understood that the treasure was probably moved by Lin Tianyang privately. At this time, it's not convenient to say anything else, so he smiled and said: "Brother Lin, this time we Leng family are at the bottom again, our Leng family can't stay here anymore, let's leave first!" After finishing speaking, he took the Leng family members away.

  After seeing that both families had left, Lin Yin Feng flew from the ruins to the other side of the high platform where Lin Tian Yang was standing, no longer hiding his pain and anger on his face. He shouted at Lin Tian Yang: "Tian Yang! You'd better give me a good explanation! Why do you have a real treasure? And why did you use it in this place?"

  Lin Tianyang looked at the old man in front of him, whose face was twisted in pain, and sighed inwardly. Is this what I wanted to use? I don't even know why I appeared here or how this thing suddenly appeared in my hand. How can you ask me to answer you like this?

  "Grandfather, Lin Tianyang has such a precious treasure and didn't even tell the clan members. I think he must have ulterior motives!" Lin Tianyang did not respond, but a 17 or 18-year-old man rushed over and splashed dirty water on him.

  Lin Yin Feng's face turned even darker upon hearing this, and he said to Lin Tian Yang: "Tian Yang, although Tian Yao doesn't usually obey you, his words may be harsh, but your actions are indeed hard to believe. Do you have any explanation?"

  "Grandfather, do we need to hear any more explanations? I think he just wants to get the qualification to enter the Lei Yan Sect, so after getting the treasure, he deliberately used it in this three-family competition to show off in front of everyone and also get the opportunity to go to the Lei Yan Sect!" Lin Tianyao sneered.

  Although Lin Yin Feng also thought that Lin Tian Yang might indeed be for this purpose, but hearing his own grandson say it out loud in front of everyone with a tone full of jealousy, he still felt dissatisfied and finally burst into anger. "Tian Yao, shut your mouth!"

  Lin Tianyao saw that Grandfather was angry, knowing that his words were somewhat excessive, but he had said what he wanted to say, so even if he shut up now it didn't matter, and with that he returned to the midst of his clansmen.

  Seeing him leave, Lin Yin Feng also let out a helpless sigh, thinking that a precious treasure was used up like this. He asked with extreme reluctance: "Tian Yang, be honest with Second Grandfather, where did you get this treasure from?"

  When the old man asked himself, Lin Tianyang subconsciously thought of the Tongtian Tower in that game. But at this moment, he felt a dizziness in his head for some reason, and his consciousness suddenly became blurred. He fainted and fell to the ground.
