The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?!-Chapter 539: Under the Bodhi Tree
Above the magic altar, Li Muyang floated amidst the dark fog.
Once Yan Xiaoru initiated the ritual, she ignited the souls of seven demon beasts and refined the black smoke designed to expel evil and break curses.
This black smoke, seemingly alive, held Li Muyang aloft and continuously entered his body through the mouth, nose, and other facial orifices.
Enveloped by the black smoke, Li Muyang fell into a strange state.
He quietly floated in the black smoke, watching Yan Xiaoru’s hands move swiftly like phantoms, pulling the magic artifacts around the altar into rapid rotation.
Such intense curse-driving practice caused a massive drain on Yan Xiaoru’s spiritual power, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her nose and forehead.
The Ancient Witchcraft Curse Techniques tormenting Li Muyang were clearly not easy to handle.
However, as Li Muyang floated in the black smoke and witnessed this scene, he felt serene, experiencing no fluctuations in his inner mind.
In this black smoke, one seemed to be forcibly kept calm, with a completely emptied mind.
Thinking of this, Li Muyang opened the system and prepared to play a game.
After all, he couldn’t assist Yan Xiaoru at that moment.
A calm mind unconsciously led him to choose the most sensible action.
—Rather than waste time waiting idly, why not play a game to catch up on progress?
Yet as Li Muyang opened the system interface, about to enter "Demon Mist Imperial Capital," he suddenly noticed several flashing BUFFs in the character status bar.
Apart from the several curse debuffs targeting Li Muyang, there were unexpectedly two passive skills of his own that had been triggered.
[Defier of Fate]
[Traverse the Netherworld]
These two passive skills were flashing, indicating they were in an active state.
Seeing this, Li Muyang was momentarily stunned.
Defier of Fate made him immune to the Art of Divination, preventing anyone from discerning specific information about him.
It essentially engaged a fog of war around Li Muyang.
It wasn’t surprising this skill was triggered.
It was highly likely that the Puppet Master, who was remotely cursing Li Muyang, was also attempting to divine information about him.
But this Traverse the Netherworld…
Li Muyang examined the detailed explanation in the buff column.
[Traverse the Netherworld (Passive): Resistance to spiritual body type damage increased by 20%, and damage from the dead reduced by 20%]
This skill specifically targeted the dead.
Li Muyang had almost never triggered this passive skill before.
But now that he was being cursed by a Puppet Master, it had been triggered.
—This is a passive that only activates when encountering the dead!
Li Muyang paused, surprised.
—Could it be that the Puppet Master is actually dead?
…
…
Inside Buddha Cave Temple, within a brightly painted corridor, voluptuous women in the paintings chuckled softly.
Li Muyang and his companions stopped outside the corridor, staring at the bizarre passage ahead.
The demon aura became exceptionally intense at this location.
Li Muyang stepped forward directly, unleashing a fierce sword qi towards an empty space on his right.
The moment the sword qi streaked out, a fair, smooth-legged woman’s thigh emerged right there.
As if the fair thigh deliberately sought its own destruction, the moment it appeared, Li Muyang’s sword qi precisely struck it.
Blood spattered, and a woman’s agonized wail echoed through the air.
"… Damn you, Wu Ming!"
Li Muyang’s prescient-like display instantly exposed his identity.
— In the Tianyuan Continent, even Wu Ming’s alias had become quite well-known.
But at this moment, Li Muyang was extremely calm.
It could even be said that he had never been so calm.
His mind was void and his thoughts clear, free of any distractions as his attention was highly focused.
Facing the fourth challenge of the Buddha Cave Temple and its demon boss, Li Muyang’s mind was cool as he precisely predicted the demons’ actions and accurately slayed them.
The demons hidden in this painting seemed to be a group, yet also appeared to be only one.

The further he walked, the more bizarre sceneries he encountered.
At first, it was only pale, smooth arms of women extending from the walls and the air.
As he progressed, seductive apparitions of women emerged from the air.
Dancing gracefully and smiling charmingly, they approached the trio, only to be shattered by Li Muyang’s precise blasts of Sword Qi, again and again.
He had failed this level many times before, amassing vast experience.
Now, in a state of complete mental clarity and calm, Li Muyang exhibited even stronger combat capabilities.
At this moment, he seemed to transform into a bloodless, tearless, cold robot, operating on the coldest, most rigid program.
All sorts of misleading demon arts from those demons were easily dissolved by Li Muyang.
In just a quarter of an hour, Li Muyang passed through the entire corridor unscathed.
The level that had trapped him for a long time was now effortlessly conquered.
Li Muyang did not stop, continuing forward.
He passed through the dark corridors, over the hall housing a giant golden Buddha, and arrived at a scenic lookout tower behind the grand hall.
Here at the cliff, the view was expansive, overlooking the entire Buddha Cave Temple and allowing one to gaze far in the direction of the Imperial Capital.
But outside the Buddha Cave Temple, a dense demon mist filled the air, allowing only a void white expanse to be seen in the distance.
Beside the cliff grew a Bodhi Tree.
Under the Bodhi Tree, a youthful monk, handsome and dressed in a white monk robe, had his hands pressed together.
He looked at the arrival of the three, a handsome smile appearing on his face.
"Are you three laypersons here to sever the Nine Nether Soul Summoning Great Formation?"
Little girl Nie Yubing looked at the young monk with shock and awe, exclaiming,
"Are you... Monk Ming Xiu?"
The young monk did not exhibit even a hint of demonic energy, showing he was not a demon.
The aura radiating from him was grand and upright, characteristic of Buddhist monks.
The handsome monk sat under the Bodhi Tree with a gentle smile, capable of captivating the hearts of women in the world.
Even the usually detached Fairy Qing Xue appeared slightly stunned at this moment.
"... Monk Ming Xiu of the Buddha Cave Temple, are you trapped here?" Qing Xue asked.
However, the young monk under the Bodhi Tree just smiled gently and shook his head, saying, "No, Ming Xiu is not trapped here, but rather caught in this tumultuous era."
"If the three of you wish to proceed, please defeat Ming Xiu. Otherwise, stop here and go back."
"If you head north, you can avoid this catastrophe."
"The land to the north is strange and evil, and even if the Emperor commands millions of demons, he will not step into that land."
"That will be the final refuge for the living beings in the mundane world."
Monk Ming Xiu wore a gentle smile.
However, Li Muyang understood his position: "It seems that you are in league with the demons and are also a part of the Emperor’s schemes."
Li Muyang didn’t hesitate; he stepped forward directly towards the Bodhi Tree and released his skill at Monk Ming Xiu.
He didn’t care about the monk’s past, nor did he know about this young monk’s reputation, and he wasn’t interested in finding out why he was associating with demons.
Now that he had become the boss, all Li Muyang had to do was bring him down!
