The night was calm, the moonlight gentle as water...
After glancing at the mission details, Yi Tianchen felt as if his mind was filled with stars swirling chaotically. The mission seemed promising, and the rewards might be enticing. However, the real dilemma lay in the lack of any hints; the entire Dreamland Continent was vast and boundless—where on earth could he begin his search?
Moreover, this event had occurred five hundred years ago. With so much time passed, it was possible that his granddaughter might no longer be around. Although she was a virtual character who could exist for hundreds or even thousands of years, what if something had happened?
After a moment of malicious self-reflection, Yi Tianchen approached with a smile and said softly, "Old man, you have to give me some hints, right? For example, what did your granddaughter look like?"
"She was only three when she left. How would I know what she looks like after five hundred years?" The old man shot Yi Tianchen an annoyed glare.
Yi Tianchen's heart sank; he realized how foolish his question had been.
"Alright then, what is your granddaughter's name?"
"Her name is Ziyun'er!"
As the old man reminisced about the past, a wave of nostalgia washed over him. His gaze was filled with longing as he sighed after a long pause, "Come to think of it, I named her myself!"
"Uh... well... old man, this isn't really the time for you to get sentimental. I still have one crucial question to ask you!" Yi Tianchen said anxiously.
"Hmm?"
"It's like this: if I find your granddaughter, how can I help you complete this so-called Mission Inheritance?"
The old man's eyes suddenly lit up as he slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "I've become forgetful! I completely overlooked this most important matter!"
"Oh? No worries! I'm still here, just tell me what it is and I'll remember!" Yi Tianchen said while sweating profusely.
After a moment, the old man pulled out a round stone plate from his robe and handed it to Yi Tianchen. "This is the key to open the passage to Boundless Land. You must take good care of it; there is only one in the whole world!"
"The key to open the passage to Boundless Land?"
Yi Tianchen was taken aback, suddenly filled with excitement. Carefully taking the circular stone plate, he discovered it was made of jade, a deep green color, warm and smooth to the touch, about two centimeters thick. On the front of the stone plate were some strange engravings that he could not decipher at all.
After handing the stone plate to Yi Tianchen, the Old Man continued, "However, having the key alone is not enough. To open the passage to the Boundless Land, you must gather all nine pieces of the Boundless Stele Inscription. Only by combining the two can you succeed!"
"Nine pieces of Boundless Stele Inscription? Where can I find them?" Yi Tianchen asked eagerly, feeling that this was a breakthrough for him; now he just needed to take it step by step.
"These nine pieces of Boundless Stele Inscription are each guarded by nine villagers. Unfortunately, a disaster five hundred years ago caused all the villagers to perish. You might want to look for the Boundless Guardians still wandering within the Boundless Village; they may have some clues!"
"Alright, I’ll go right away!" Yi Tianchen laughed heartily; NPCs giving warm hints were never wrong.
"Young man, don’t be in such a hurry; I still have more to say!"
"Oh? What else do you need to tell me?" Yi Tianchen turned to leave but then hesitated, his heart already racing ahead.
"If you can find all nine pieces of Boundless Stele Inscription and later locate my granddaughter, just hand over both the key and the Boundless Stele Inscription to her, and your Mission Inheritance will naturally be realized!"
"I see!"
Yi Tianchen nodded in understanding and asked, "Is there anything else?"
"Hehe... nothing more. Young man, go on now... Mission Inheritance, a century of change; my mission has been completed... has been completed..."
Without further questions, Yi Tianchen strode out of the grass hut. The Old Man continued muttering "has been completed," as if on a loop.
Glancing back, he saw the Old Man sitting cross-legged on the ground, with a kind expression that made him appear like an unmoving statue.
In that moment, a strange thought flashed through Yi Tianchen's mind: would this Old Man sit here in meditation after completing his mission?
"Never mind; I should focus on my task."
Yi Tianchen shook his head in disbelief. He had fully grasped the method to open the passage to the Boundless Land. Next, he needed to gather the so-called nine pieces of the Boundless Stele Inscription as soon as possible, travel to that Boundless Land, and obtain the Earth's Essence in one fell swoop.
In an instant, Yi Tianchen's confidence surged. After pulling out the Rage of the Wilderness, he quickly returned to what was now a wasteland known as Boundless Village.
Upon careful observation, he noticed that there were still quite a few wandering Boundless Guardians. They were scattered across the area, which made it easier for him to take them down one by one.
Soon, Yi Tianchen locked onto the nearest Boundless Guardian. However, before he could make his move, the Boundless Guardian had already started to wander off on its own. Its swaying movements were rather awkward, causing Yi Tianchen to feel uneasy. Without hesitation, he thrust his sword forward.
"Slash, slash, slash..."
Three strikes landed, and in response, the Boundless Guardian lunged at him with a direct stab!
With a slight smile, Yi Tianchen jumped back thirty centimeters. The Guardian's long sword stopped just shy of ten centimeters from his abdomen.
Undeniably, Yi Tianchen had calculated that distance with precision. He then swung the Rage of the Wilderness, forcefully deflecting the long sword and launching a series of rapid attacks.
Before long, the Boundless Guardian let out a pained howl and collapsed to the ground!
Yi Tianchen was overjoyed and quickly pushed aside the Guardian's body. He rummaged through the grass for a while but still found no sign of the so-called Boundless Stele Inscription.
With a slight pout, he collected a handful of Silver Coins and stood proudly in the desolate clearing among the mountains. Looking at the crumbling mud walls and rotting wooden beams, he couldn't help but feel a twinge of sorrow for the relentless passage of time.
"Ah..."
He let out a loud roar into the night sky, quickly shaking off all emotions. His gaze hardened as he locked onto another Boundless Guardian not far away. A single thought filled his mind: to kill it and claim its inscription!
"Swish..."
With his skill activated and enhanced by Savage Charge's speed boost, Yi Tianchen surged forward, slashing across the Boundless Guardian's neck with Rage of the Wilderness—
-1201!
With a swift turn of his foot, he retracted and then launched forward again, the sword slicing through the air with a sharp sound as it struck the shoulder of the Boundless Guardian---
Blade Break Slash Lv-2! -1408!
The Boundless Guardian let out a roar, simultaneously swinging its sword with the intent to sever Yi Tianchen's head. Yi Tianchen remained calm, swiftly positioning his weapon to block the attack. The clash of metal rang out as he successfully parried, and with a flick of his wrist, he unleashed an Unfolding, sending forth a dark circle of energy---
System Notification: Your skill [Death Entanglement] has reached full proficiency and has successfully upgraded to Level 2. Your next strike will deal an additional 30% physical damage to the target!
"Level up!"
Yi Tianchen felt a surge of excitement as he quickly changed direction, evading the Boundless Guardian's follow-up attack. He thrust his sword forward, golden light radiating from the blade---
Death Entanglement Lv-2! Blade Break Slash Lv-2!
-1652!
