Chapter 25: The Opening Of The Cultivation Pavilion

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Near the coast of the Underworld Sea in Liuli District.

A humongous figure was sitting on a throne built from the bones of various living creatures.

Before him, countless creatures were bowing and worshiping him.

“What is the reply from those of the Underworld Sea?”

A deep voice was heard from the humongous figure, causing the living spirit beneath him to tremble.

“Lord Cha Na, the Sea King said that those from the Underworld Sea will acknowledge your status as the overlord of Liuli District if you’re willing to contribute 100,000 Yin souls as an offering every year!”

Boom!

Thick flames were bursting from the throne. The flaming eyes were filled with endless rage.

“How can he be this arrogant when the King of Beiqi is still around? Does he think that I, Cha Na, am a loser?”

The black-robed Soul Liberating Envoy beneath him was shaking, “Lord Cha Na, do you mean… ?”

Cha Na went silent for a moment before he spoke again slowly,

“We’ll bear with it first and agree with his request. I will certainly make him pay for this when I have my breakthrough to the Ghost King state!”

The Soul Liberating Envoy nodded upon hearing his reply. As if reminded about something, he spoke again,

“Lord Cha Na, the Third Ghost’s soul flame has been put out.”

“Third Ghost? Wasn’t he guarding the boundary between Liuli District and the Mansion of the Dead? It’s a safe area, how did he die?”

The Soul Liberating Envoy shook his head, “Not just him, it seems like all his underlings are gone as well. None of them returned to report anything!”

“Was it the Rock Ghost King from the Northern Zone?”

Cha Na then shook his head, “It can’t be him. He wouldn’t do something so stupid as to form enemies with me right after he seized the Northern Zone. It should be another force.”

“Go investigate. I want to know who is going against me behind my back.”

Upon hearing that, the Soul Liberating Envoy took a respectful bow toward Cha Na before disappearing into the shadows.

……

Due to the fact that Battle Online’s online forum was exploding with messages, Lu Wu and Wu Guoyi established a new official homepage for Battle Online after some discussion.

They gave the little gaming site a complete reform.

Some new features which were prepared earlier were added onto the web page, including live streaming.

At the same time, players uploaded the video of their battle with the Ghost Supreme Commander to both sites and other large video platforms, which resulted in a huge leap in the number of players for Battle Online, surpassing 200,000 players.

The number of soul coins had been increasing for the past few days even though Lu Wu hadn’t done anything.

Aside from the assigning of various quests, Lu Wu’s soul coins had a breakthrough of 50,000. Therefore, the construction work for the Mansion of the Dead which was planned a while ago officially started.

Under Bei Li’s control, a huge amount of soul energy gushed out from artifacts and formed a soul energy sea which engulfed the abandoned Mansion of the Dead.

The building started its renovation process with the assistance from the artifacts. An odd scene of half- fantasy half-reality appeared and attracted the gaze and attention of many players.

Unlike Yin energy, the renovation by soul energy took more than ten minutes before the building’s form was fixed.

The onlooking players gasped in awe when a black towering building appeared on top of the ruins.

[General notification: Character class skills training is officially available. All players above Level 20 can now select the battle skills corresponding to their character class in the Cultivation Pavilion for training]

A huge number of players who were leveling in the wild rushed to the area where the Mansion of the Dead was located after receiving the notification. They were curious to see how the Cultivation Pavilion looked like. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

At the same time, Lu Wu and Bei Li entered the building hand in hand.

The Cultivation Pavilion was known as the Library when the King of Beiqi was still around. All the cultivation techniques and battle skills collected by the King of Beiqi were deposited there.

Artifacts had stored and arranged all the ancient books during the remodeling of the library. Under Bei Li’s reformation, it transformed into a fantastical and colorful place with a classical charm.

The ancient books inside were converted into shadows. Players were able to check out the detailed explanation and demonstration of specific skills by clicking onto the shadows.

Of course, training skills here would require soul coins. Aside from soul coins, there was also the requirement of a certain level.

Although some of the players obtained improvements from leveling up and soul coins, they still could not withstand some of the overbearing cultivating techniques. That was why Lu Wu added many training limitations.

Also, Lu Wu asked Bei Li to transform the Cultivation Pavilion for the second time for a better distinction. She divided it into five different zones which were the beginners training zone, intermediate training zone, advanced training zone, spiritual level training zone, and king level training zone.

Due to the huge number of players, the Cultivation Pavilion had the setting of many channels. Each channel could fill a thousand players at most.

This meant that the actual Library was within a battle artifact, and numerous channels were opened from it. This was to prevent the crashing of the server from the flooding players.

The two wandered around the Cultivation Pavilion. After making sure that nothing was faulty, they returned to the world of the living.

At the same time, many players dashed into the Cultivation Pavilion to check out the cultivating techniques.

Warrior class skill zone, mage class skill zone, assassin class skill zone.

The three main skill zones were flooded with players.

Regarding character class skills, many players had been complaining for some time, especially mages. They only had the skill of the Yin Energy Bomb even when they achieved Level 20. This caused many players to doubt that the game managers never really paid much attention to the mage class.

However, the release of the few powerful beginner skills from this update brought good news for mages.
