Chapter 701 - Spirit Heaven's Sudden Increase In Population

The following morning, Yuan woke up earlier than anticipated and decided to let Chu Liuxiang sleep a little longer while he went to train with the others.

"I thought you needed a few days to rest." Li Jinxi said to him when he arrived.

"I guess I didn't need that much time to rest, after all."

Li Jinxi had no complaints, and the two of them began sparring with each other until it was time for breakfast.

Yuan returned to his room to wake Chu Liuxiang up before entering the bathroom for a quick shower.

Once they were prepared, they went downstairs and into the dining room together.

Of course, breakfast was already prepared by Meixiu by the time they arrived.

"Meixiu, we can hire someone to cook for us instead if you want. I feel bad for letting you spoil us." Wang Bingbing said to her.

"I don't mind it, really. I consider cooking as a hobby, and I really do enjoy cooking for everyone," she said.

Wang Bingbing smiled and said, "You're not only pretty but also hard working and great with housework. You'll be a great wife in the future, and your future husband is definitely one lucky man."

"Thank you'¦" Meixiu responded with a slight blush on her face.

When Wang Bingbing mentioned her future husband, all of the men in the room glanced at Yuan, who already had his mouth full of food.

If it wasn't so painfully obvious that Meixiu and Yuan shared a special connection, they would have definitely tried to approach her as a potential partner.

After all, Meixiu is an incredibly charming young lady. It would only be natural for the others to be attracted to her.

The same could be said for Chu Liuxiang, but it was clear to the others that she only has Yuan in her eyes.

Thus, these young men could only try their luck elsewhere.

After breakfast, everyone returned to their room.

"We're going to visit the Myriad of Techniques today. Do you want to come with us?" Yuan asked Meixiu as they walked to their rooms.

"I couldn't cultivate yesterday, so I plan on doing that today," she shook her head.

"Okay."

"Good luck."

"You too."

Once Yuan entered his room, he and Chu Liuxiang logged into Cultivation Online.

"Good morning, Brother Yuan." Xiao Hua and the others greeted them.

"Morning."

"Have you figured out what you want to do now, Young Master?" Feng Yuxiang asked him.

"Yes, I am going to give the Myriad of Techniques a visit today."

He then turned to look at Min Li and asked her, "What about you? Have you figured out your plans yet?"

She shook her head and sighed, "I'm actually still trying to accept the reality that I am really in Spirit Heaven. However, I am probably going to join a sect and start from there."

"Speaking of sect'¦ Did you tell the Dragon Essence Temple that you were leaving?" Yuan suddenly asked.

"Uhh'¦" Min Li stared at him with a dumbfounded face.

Clearly, she didn't tell the sect.

"Actually, I am still a disciple at the Dragon Essence Temple since I didn't expect to ascend when I was called back home, but there's nothing I can do now that I am here. They will most likely visit the Min Family when I don't return to the sect after some time and learn the truth'¦ hopefully."

"Until I am ready to move on, I hope you don't mind if I continue following you, Yuan."

He nodded, "I understand. You can follow me for as long as you need."

"Thank you."

Yuan and the others left the hotel shortly after to look for the Myriad of Techniques.

"Wow, there's a lot of people in the city today." Feng Yuxiang immediately noticed the sudden increase in population within the city.

"They must be the Players that rushed to the Stairway to Heaven'¦" Chu Liuxiang said to Yuan.

"Most likely." He agreed with her.

A lot of the Players there stuck out like a sore thumb because of their unnatural demeanor and otherworldly aura that was a stark contrast to the natives in the cultivation world.

However, as Players slowly get used to the cultivation world and its nature in the future, they will definitely become harder to identify.

As for Yuan, he has completely adapted to the cultivation world. From his appearance to his aura'” it was almost as though he has belonged in this world since the beginning.

"Hey, Yuan. I wonder if this world is in shock right now because of the rush. If you think about it, there's nothing natural about thousands of Players suddenly ascending from the Lower Heavens." Chu Liuxiang suddenly said.

Yuan immediately began pondering, "Now that you mention it'¦ I wonder how this world is reacting and dealing with the current situation."

Of course, the Spirit Heaven is in complete chaos at this moment.

The people that were there when Yuan ascended to this world believed that he was a peerless genius when he showed up with Chu Liuxiang and the others, but when more Players suddenly started showing up in groups, they began to doubt their own judgement.

When news spread that thousands of people had ascended on the same day, the people of this world wondered if something had happened to the Stairway to Heaven.

After all, most of these people that came out of the Stairway to Heaven and entered their world from the Lower Heavens were only Spirit Apprentices, and nobody believed for a second that a Spirit Apprentice could possibly climb the Stairway to Heaven, much less thousands of them at once.

Therefore, they could only come to the conclusion that the Stairway to Heaven is broken, hence their current situation.

However, there was nothing the natives of this world could do but let the Players swarm their world.. At the end of the day, the Players have already ascended, and it was not as though they could force the Players to go back to the Lower Heavens.
