Shangguan Lian was a pretty good player. His mentality and personality were also pretty good. When he saw that he had no hope of getting the treasure, he did not continue bothering him and left readily, which left a pretty good impression on Happy.
If Shangguan Lian was a scoundrel like the sect master of Heaven Domination Sect and continued bothering him with his strength, there was a possibility that he would be a great threat to Happy.
Happy remembered his name and resolutely sent him a friend request.
"No discord, no concord. Why don't we be friends?"
"Hehe, alright! Have a safe trip, friend! "
Shangguan Lian responded very quickly. Once the request was accepted, a messenger pigeon flapped its snow-white wings and flew in front of Happy. There were only a few simple words written on it, but it displayed the free and easy presence of a wanderer who could come and go as he pleased.
Happy put away the letter and smiled faintly. Then, he picked up the brocade box not too far away from him and observed the map. The relaxed look on his face gradually disappeared. Instead, he put on a slightly solemn and anguished smile.
It was true that there were gains and losses.
Master Xuan Kong's departure caused him to lose his shelter.
Solving the exquisite Go game and obtaining Ten True Dragon Styles was indeed a pleasant surprise, and his rewards were even greater than the brocade box. But if he gave up on the brocade box, which he had been planning for a long time, because of this, he would be a little reluctant.
Besides, right now, Mount Song had gathered hundreds of thousands of martial artists from all over the world. Once news of this spread out, the endless mountain range would definitely be raided by players.
If he wanted to leave Mount Song without anyone knowing, the difficulty would not be small.
'Ah, I'm getting greedier.'
Happy mocked himself.
In his previous life, he had wandered about the world of martial artists for three years, but he had never obtained a single ultimate technique that surpassed high-tier martial arts. Right now, he had solved the exquisite Go game and obtained Master Xuan Kong's self-created ultimate technique, Ten True Dragon Styles. He also had the Murong Clan's ultimate technique, Shifting Stars, which was not taught to outsiders. Logically speaking, his luck was already much better than in his previous life, but he still could not give up on an unknown treasure in a small brocade box. He was indeed a little greedy!
However, there was no limit to a person's curiosity.
Also …
In his previous life, he had missed this chance during the quest where bandits ran amok, and he did not show any results. Right now, he could do it all over again because he wanted to prove himself and show off his talents.
Furthermore …
Shifting Stars would become stronger when it faced strong opponents, and it was more suitable for group battles. It was not as fierce and unyielding as Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm, which was an ultimate technique that was born with great offensive power.
Also, he currently only had one move in Ten True Dragon Styles, and it was not enough for him to sweep through the world of martial artists. Hence, he absolutely did not want to give up on the brocade box!
With the brocade box, where could he go to safely avoid the pursuers for the last half of the day?
While Happy flew away from his original spot, he quickly swept his gaze over the region of Mount Song on the map in an attempt to search for a place that no one knew about and that no one could easily get close to.
As a veteran who had stayed in Mount Song's Shaolin Temple for a few years, Happy was very familiar with most of the quests in the place, and he knew many of the places very well.
Therefore …
Happy soon determined two regions that were more suitable for him to enter.
One of them was the Bodhidharma Cave that none of the Shaolin Temple's disciples dared to rashly step into or get close to.
Bodhidharma Cave!
It was also known as Reflection Cliff.
The terrain there was remote and dangerous, and it was difficult for even birds to cross. It was incredibly desolate and difficult. It was said that it was the place where Patriarch Bodhidharma trained in isolation, and the high-tier ultimate techniques Patriarch Bodhidharma created — Bodhidharma Qi Cultivation Technique and Bodhidharma Sword Technique — were carved on the walls.
Happy still remembered that when Bodhidharma Cave was discovered, it stirred up quite a commotion, especially when the elders in the temple confirmed the existence of Bodhidharma Ultimate Technique. Countless Shaolin Temple disciples surged over and nearly turned Bodhidharma Cave upside down. But later on, they learned that if they wanted to find the real murals left behind by Patriarch Bodhidharma, they had to fulfill a few incredibly harsh conditions.
Not only did they have to have a high Comprehension of 99 points, they also had to be skilled in Buddhist scriptures and zen rituals. They also had to be kind and persevering. Only then could they transmit the Buddhist voice Patriarch Bodhidharma left in the cave and discover Bodhidharma Ultimate Technique!
But …
Bodhidharma Cave was located in Punishment Mount!
There were many monks who had broken their Buddhist vows who did evil in the world of martial artists. Their hands were stained with blood, but they refused to repent. Not only were they brutal by nature, they were also incredibly skilled, and most of them were powerful martial artists who had reached a certain level.
The group of monks who had broken their Buddhist vows were separated near Bodhidharma Cave by the Iron Chain Bridge. They were neighbors to Bodhidharma Cave, and they hoped that Patriarch Bodhidharma's Buddhist voice would enlighten the group of monks who had broken their Buddhist vows. They also hoped that the monks who had broken their Buddhist vows would immediately become Buddhas, lay down their weapons, and repent on their own.
Since the monks were all above Mystical Realm, and the Iron Chain Bridge was easy to defend but difficult to attack, it was naturally listed as one of Happy's shelters.
The other place was the Eighteen Bronze Men Formation at the back of Shaolin Temple's mountain.
It was the most famous reward quest in Shaolin Temple. Of course, the difficulty was also incredibly high. As the level of the challenge increased, the rewards would also become greater.
Three years in Happy's previous life …
The highest record for a Shaolin Temple disciple was the eleventh bronze man.
Every time they cleared two bronze men, the bronze man's qi realm would increase by one realm. Correspondingly, their combat abilities would increase by leaps and bounds. That was why with every two trials, the difficulty would increase, and the further they cleared, the stronger the bronze men's combat abilities would become! They would also become more difficult to deal with.
When they reached the eleventh bronze man, their qi realm would reach the legendary Inaction Realm. Once they reached Moksha Realm, they would no longer have any desires. They would be able to execute their techniques with ease, and they would be able to turn something rotten into something magical. At the same time, their bodies would become as hard as steel. Even if high-tier martial arts in Moksha Realm landed on them, they would be like flies trying to shake a mountain. They would not be able to shake them in the slightest.
However …
The Bronze Men Formation was open to Shaolin Temple disciples, and it was a reward quest.
To outsiders, it was a defense system!
It was the same process. If a Shaolin Temple disciple challenged the formation, they would receive a reward if they won, and if they lost, they would just be thrown out of the Bronze Men Formation.
But once the outsiders lost in the formation, the Eighteen Bronze Men would not show them any pity. They would kill them without hesitation to intimidate the many martial artists who challenged Shaolin Temple's Bronze Men Formation.
Hence, once Happy thought of this, he gave up on the idea.
After thinking about it, Happy resolutely gave up on entering the Bronze Men Formation at the back of Shaolin Temple's mountain. He changed his direction and headed to the most dangerous cliff in Mount Song — Punishment Mount!
…
Soon after Happy left, a group of people appeared at the spot where he had disappeared.
Li Heng, the vice sect master of Heaven Descendants Sect, led a dozen or so people to the empty ground. From the distance, he saw the corpses of Blessed Realm players all over the ground!
When he saw the dozen or so players' corpses lying on the ground in a circle, Li Heng scowled, but he did not show much surprise.
Since he wanted them to leave first, he naturally had a complete plan to find the person who had snatched the brocade box.
Flap flap flap!
A snow-white messenger pigeon landed on Li Heng's shoulder. Without another word, he took it down, unfolded it, and cast a glance at it. Then, he looked in the direction in which Happy had left.
"After him!"
Once he gave the order, the group quickly disappeared into the forest.
