Chapter 31 – Challenge

The sky had turned completely dark and neon lights lit up the whole city.

Chu Ge lay alone on the couch, motionless for an hour.

Qiu Wuji had disappeared.

She had already stayed for a long time this time and was on the brink of leaving. She had even used her powers to cleanse Chu Ge’s body, so it was natural that she couldn’t stay any longer.

She had been sitting on him, but suddenly disappeared, leaving her outfit and stockings scattered on his back, and her veil covering the back of his head. It was an awkward sight.

But Chu Ge was not in the mood.

Inside his body still lingered the meridian exercises that Qiu Wuji had taught him before leaving. The strand of immortal power stayed in his body like a fuse, slowly moving and operating in his meridians, so real.

It also symbolized the beginning of Chu Ge’s enlightenment in cultivation.

He had actually been able to cultivate his own made-up cultivation method, giving it a name and effect, copying a few lines from a Taoist scripture to complete it, and it became a true method.

Qiu Wuji’s cultivation was slightly biased towards swordsmanship and supplemented with immortal arts, making it more comprehensive compared to other sects that specialized in certain types of cultivation. In the original setting of the book, Qiu Wuji had access to countless genius techniques and various treasures from past generations, which were originally set up for the convenience of the protagonist.

Now it seemed like he had taken advantage of it all for himself.

Those abilities like walking through the wall were only a single special ability, which could be considered as a magical art of immortals… specializing in only one kind of magical art…

Perhaps there were individual abilities that were exceptionally strong, such as the ability to materialize imagination, which was more powerful than any Taoist magic or immortal art.

This was not like an ordinary person coming into contact with the supernatural world, it seemed to be the opposite.

One could imagine Qiu Wuji’s arrogance, she did not even bother with other people’s single abilities. If she did not respect Chu Ge’s wish to avoid trouble, she would have directly gone to the hideout of the person who could penetrate walls and killed them.

It was unknown how far he could cultivate with these spiritual energies in reality. He did not expect to reach Qiu Wuji’s level, but if he could cultivate higher, would it make his influence on the world of the book more controllable?

For example, forcing Qiu Wuji to stay here forever.

Chu Ge had become accustomed to having her around and was now increasingly averse to this separation. Every time she left, he was afraid that she would not return.

Because this is a very likely thing to happen.

What was the meaning of Qiu Wuji coming to this world? It was to understand a completely new world, which was very tempting for a top cultivator.

But what about when she becomes more and more familiar with this world, until she was no different from modern people?

Would she still have a reason to stay here? This is just a world with thin spiritual energy, even if it is charming in many ways, its significance to her cannot compare to a true cultivation land.

Chu Ge began to regret for the first time if he shouldn’t have selflessly helped her understand the world. He should have let her take it slow, even slower…

He was lost in thought for a long, long time, and finally pulled the hood on the back of his head, standing up tall.

Of course, that’s not possible. It is precisely because he treated her with kindness that he received the same attitude in return.

She also knows that.

Chu Ge sighed, this time he didn’t go to wash her clothes, but put them away properly and placed them in her room.

Don’t eat today… don’t want to eat, just write!

Make her character even more badass!

Ten thousand words today!

……

In the world of novel.

Qiu Wuji stood at the window, gazing at the moon.

This was her favorite form, the most beautiful scenery designated by Chu Ge’s writing.

But today, she only stood there for a few seconds before suddenly turning around and sitting at the table to brew a pot of tea elixir.

It was as if she deliberately wanted to differentiate herself from the Qiu Wuji written by him.

Chu Ge’s concerns were justified, her return this time was actually a bit intentional.

Regardless of how many excuses she found for herself such as ‘the situation is urgent’, ‘just healing’, or ‘bright moon and clear winds’, voluntarily touching him intimately like this was just not right.

She had thought about coming back when she went out to buy things in the morning. Being the master of a sect, why did she have to go there and cook for him, and tolerate his thoughts of lewd things all day long?

Anyway, she had paid back the money, so she felt relieved.

But… she still had to go back eventually… that world had just revealed its true appearance, and she had just learned to surf the internet. Would she just run away like a deserter?

Computers are so much fun.

She didn’t know if that guy was safe without her around, or had already gotten involved with people with supernatural abilities. Would there be any danger?

The girl living next door, will he be swayed by her beauty?

After thinking for a while, she was confused and couldn’t figure it out, but she could confirm one thing: Both she and Chu Ge hoped that she could break away from the influence of his writing and become a truly independent person.

This was their common goal, and that was certain.

How to break away?

She couldn’t change her nature, that was probably impossible. Qiu Wuji knew that if she deliberately went around killing people everywhere and became a bloodthirsty maniac, she could probably be considered to have changed, but she was unwilling to do so.

Changing major events had already been proven ineffective, the world would self-correct. Besides, she was also a bit cautious and didn’t dare to really reverse the course of major events. Otherwise, would killing Chu Tiange solve everything? She didn’t dare to try that, afraid of problems.

So what could she try?

She could create some special events that would not have happened in his book, starting from the local area and gradually affecting the world?

Qiu Wuji pondered for a long time, and suddenly transmitted her voice to the side peak, “Elder Zhou, please come to the main peak, I have something to discuss.”

Not long after, Elder Zhou, the elder with white hair, arrived in the living room. Qiu Wuji brewed tea with her slender hands and smiled, “Earlier, we analyzed that the Vermillion Bird Feather is most likely in the hands of the Fire Prison Sect.”

Elder Zhou said, “That’s true. The Sect Master intends to…”

“I intend to challenge Yan Qianli to a fight, using our Primordial Void Fire as a bet against his Vermillion Bird Feather. Yan Qianli is ferocious and arrogant, despises women, and covets our Primordial Void Fire. I have an 80% chance of winning this bet,” Qiu Wuji said with a smile.

Elder Zhou pondered and said, “The Fire Prison Sect disciples are untrustworthy. Even if you win, you may not necessarily get the feather. In addition…”

He hesitated for a moment, “Yan Qianli has a fearsome reputation. Does the Sect Master really have a chance to win?”

“How would we know if we don’t fight?” Qiu Wuji smiled.

This was the plot that Chu Ge was currently writing, and Qiu Wuji had read the outline. She would resonate with the ‘Heavenly Dao Contract’ to make a bet with Yan Qianli, and then win through extremely difficult battles. The plot would involve Yan Qianli’s schemes, the war between sects, the participation of other sects, and various other elements, with Chu Tiange having many appearances, making it a grand plot with many characters.

Chu Ge received praise from the editor, maybe because this plot seemed promising at first glance?

The related items of the Four Symbols Array were something that Qiu Wuji herself was determined to obtain – it involved her ascension. Previously, it was for her ascension, but now it might be related to the interaction between the two worlds. Whether her original self could cross over or not might depend on this, so it was even more important than before.

Therefore, she would definitely follow this direction in this plot, but could the pattern be changed?

For example…

She lowered her voice and became serious: “The branches of the Fire Prison Sect are layered and spread throughout the world. Elder Zhou, these days, you should find some important ones in advance and secretly control them. Additionally, secretly contact Silverock Mountain. Old Man Wu Gu and Yan Qianli have a grudge against each other…”

Elder Zhou’s eyelids twitched as he listened.

How had the style of the Sect Master changed? Was this really the proud and aloof Qiu Wuji?

At the same time, Chu Ge was typing furiously at his computer. “Qiu Wuji said calmly, ‘The power of one sect is ultimately limited, and there are many constraints when acting. If the winds and clouds are in my favor, why can’t I climb to the summit and overlook the world?'”
