Chapter 9 - The Divine Path

"There are three core tasks in the Jin Yong Wuxia system. Host must complete them. Type of mission: 'Compulsory'!"

"Within a hundred years, I will cultivate the 'Karmic Creation Art' to the great perfection stage!"

"Within a hundred years, establish the number one sect in the world!"

"Defeat the seven G.o.ds of the Seven Stars Divine Palace within three to one hundred years."

"The mission is complete and a super big gift pack will be given to you. If you fail the mission, your body will explode and you will die!"

"What!"

Hearing about the three core missions issued by the system, Xiang Yun did not know how difficult they were, nor did he know what the Art of Creation was, nor did he know what the Seven Stars Divine Temple was.

However, he knew the difficulty of establis.h.i.+ng the world's number one sect. Even in Jin Yong's world, Xiang Yun, who was a veteran gamer, had only painstakingly created a second-rate sect.

As for the other two missions, although he did not know how difficult they were, they did not sound simple at all. They were actually given three missions at the same time, and they even had a fixed time limit.

What made Xiang Yun even more speechless was that the system's punishment was for the player to self-detonate to his death. Xiang Yun's first thought was that this self-detonate to die might have meant that the game would start anew with zero equipment and zero level.

However, the moment Xiang Yun had this thought, the system immediately replied, "If the core quest fails and the player self-detonates to death, the system will automatically collapse as well. The player only has one chance!"

"I'll go!" Upon hearing these words, Xiang Yun immediately cried out in shock.

The system once again discovered Xiang Yun's thoughts. The system directly replied, "I'm sorry, Host. Your question has already exceeded your authority. The system is unable to answer!"

At this moment, the System's voice continued, "The first lottery draw by the System has ended. Next time is the seventh day of the third month!"

After the System finished speaking, the originally huge disk of light gradually dimmed down. Following that, the world before Xiang Yun turned into darkness once more, and his consciousness also began to fade along with the darkness.

By the time Xiang Yun woke up, it was already late in the morning. Due to his fatigue from yesterday, he had woken up especially late that night. The servants who knew of the crown prince's temper and Lin Wan'er had not come to wake him up.

"Aiyo!"

As Xiang Yun sat up, he felt a wave of soreness from his waist and back. It could be said that the previous day's torture had left behind some aftereffects, and his body was still rather sore and weak. Coupled with his abnormally weak body, it was naturally even harder for him to recover.

Xiang Yun did not call for servants to serve him. Now that his soul was in charge of his body, even though he had merged with another Xiang Yun's memories, his actions were still primarily focused on him.

Although Xiang Yun enjoyed the feeling of being served, getting a bed with more than ten maidservants around made him feel uncomfortable. Thus, he dressed himself and got out of bed.

He parted the curtains in the inner chamber and came to the hall. Facing the huge copper mirror in front of him, looking at his tall and slender figure, his handsome face and fair skin, Xiang Yun thought to himself, "Although this kid's physique is crippled, he looks like one who's impatient. In his previous life, the success rate of picking up a girl would have been ninety-nine percent."

After looking at himself in the mirror for a moment, Xiang Yun turned and walked towards the door. Arriving at the door, Xiang Yun reached out and pushed open the latch, pulling open the two exquisite wooden doors. Without looking, he stomped out!

"Your Highness, be careful!"

Just as Xiang Yun was about to step out of the door, he suddenly heard a familiar cry of surprise.

On the other side of the door, Lin Wan'er was squatting on the floor. Beside her was a wooden basin filled with water and she held a wet towel in her hands. She squatted on the floor and seemed to be wiping the floor.

At this moment, the latter was looking at Xiang Yun's feet with a terrified expression as she let out a cry of alarm.

However, before his feet could steady themselves, he suddenly felt a violent slip beneath his feet, as if he had stepped on a banana peel.

"Swis.h.!.+"

"Ah!"

Seeing this, Lin Wan'er couldn't help but let out another scream.

Screaming shrilly, Lin Wan'er threw away the cloth in her hand and slapped the wooden floor with one hand. Her entire body sprung up like a spring as she rapidly approached Xiang Yun, extending her arms to embrace Xiang Yun's fallen body!

Xiang Yun first opened the door without any warning, and Lin Wan'er was now squatting on the floor, waiting for her to leap into the air and reach out with both hands to grab Xiang Yun.

Xiang Yun's body had already flipped, looking as if his forehead was about to be heavily carved into the stone steps.

With the toughness of the stone slab and the softness of Master Xiang's body, if this were true, wouldn't Xiang Yun's head explode from the impact and die?

Lin Wan'er watched as Xiang Yun fell head first onto the stone steps. It was already too late for her to feel remorse and remorse. She could only subconsciously close her eyes, unable to bear to watch what was about to happen.

However, what shocked her the most was that the moment she closed her eyes, she actually did not hear the dull thud of Xiang Yun's head hitting the stone floor or the miserable howl of Master Xiang as though he was slaughtering a pig.

"d.a.m.n, why can't I stop?!"

As soon as she opened her eyes, Lin Wan'er couldn't help but be shocked by the scene in front of her. Her beautiful eyes stared curiously at the scene in front of her!

At this moment, in front of the stone steps, Master Xiang's body was staggering forward. The latter swayed left and right, dodging right and dodging left and dodging right and dodging right and left, his body swaying left and right. He looked as if he could topple over in any direction at any time, as if he were a person walking on ice, on the verge of falling down.

However, the strange thing was, although Xiang Yun's body swayed unsteadily, looking like he was on the verge of collapse, his steps were very strange.

Xiang Yun's every step seemed like a subconscious reaction where his center of gravity was inclined. However, just as he was about to step out, he managed to maintain his balance.

Therefore, although his body was swaying and he looked like he was about to touch the ground at any moment, because of the strange steps he took, he didn't fall down.

At this moment, Xiang Yun was simply like an old man who had his feet smeared with oil. As he slid, his body tilted and fell, yet he did not fall to the ground. He appeared to be in a sorry state, yet it was strange and mystical!

Lin Wan'er was Xiang Yun's personal servant, and she also had spiritual roots. Although her cultivation base was low, she also had some martial arts skills. When she saw Xiang Yun's strange steps, she was immediately stunned.

"Prince, what happened to you?"

"Aiyo!" Xiang Yun cried out miserably, pitifully looking at Lin Wan'er who had rushed over to support him, "Wan'er, are you trying to harm this crown prince's life?!"

"This servant doesn't dare!" When Lin Wan'er heard Xiang Yun's words, she was so frightened that her entire body trembled. She immediately let go of Xiang Yun and fell to her knees.

Xiang Yun had not expected Lin Wan'er to be so serious, actually kneeling down. He quickly put on a smiling face and said, "Hehe, Wan'er, don't take it seriously. I was just joking with you!"

"Your Highness, you …" Lin Wan'er only managed to raise her head to look at Xiang Yun when she heard his words, but seeing the latter's smiling face, she was actually uninjured. Only then did she relax.

Xiang Yun was currently hugging the trunk of the large camphor tree with both hands. Raising his right leg to look, he immediately saw that there was a square yellow lump stuck to his foot. He could not help but ask with curiosity, "Wan'er, what is this thing?"

Wan-Er quickly explained, "Reporting to the Crown Prince, this is a piece of soap used to wipe the floor."

"Oh, by the way, Wan-Er, why did you come here so early in the morning to wipe the floor? Can't you leave these things to the other servants?" Xiang Yun asked, a little baffled.

Your Highness's room has always been a servant cleaning it up. I'm afraid that the other maidservants haven't done it meticulously enough, so I'll have to do it myself. " Lin Wan'er said softly.

It was only then that Xiang Yun remembered. All these years, it had been Lin Wan'er in charge of cleaning his room.

However, as Xiang Yun thought back to Lin Wan'er's memories, he suddenly felt a burst of anger. This was because this young master was actually thinking about this maid who would never abandon him; he was actually thinking of plucking her and bringing her back to his room when Lin Wan'er had grown up.

So the reason this fellow saved Lin Wan'er was because he saw Lin Wan'er being so obedient. Once she grew up, she would definitely be a great beauty.

Recalling these thoughts, even as Xiang Yun cursed at the crown prince's filthy thoughts, he felt his old face turn hot as well, feeling an inexplicable sense of guilt. Looking at Lin Wan'er's concerned gaze, he subconsciously felt the urge to dodge.

"Wan'er, then wipe the floor first, I'll go out first!" Xiang Yun lifted his leg and was about to leave.

However, Lin Wan'er called out to Xiang Yun from behind, "Your Highness."

[What martial art did you use just now? How come you are so magical? Wan-Er has never seen it before?]

"Un, my movement technique? When did I use my movement technique? " Xiang Yun looked curiously at Lin Wan.
