Chapter 603 - Returning To Cultivation Online

Chapter 603 - Returning To Cultivation Online

"Where will you guys be staying until we have our headquarters?" Yuan asked Wang Ming and the others.
"We'll probably rent a hotel somewhere close to your apartment. It'll only be for around a week, anyway." Wang Ming said.
"What about you? What are you going to be doing in the meantime?" Li Jinxi asked him, as she was hoping to train with him while they waited.
"I am going to return to Cultivation Online. It's been a very long time since I last stepped foot in that world, after all," he said.
"Cultivation Online?" The elite disciples raised their eyebrows simultaneously.
Although they have played Cultivation Online before, none of them took it seriously.
'Maybe he wants to get his mind of that incident by indulging himself in Cultivation Online…'
All of the elite disciples had a similar thought, so they didn't question him.
Sometime later, Yuan and the elite disciples went their separate ways.
"I didn't think he'd really allow us to stay." Xi Murong said once they left.
"Why not? He's a very nice guy if you get to know him." Wang Ming said.
"Really? I feel nervous when he's around. His presence is extraordinary."
"That doesn't mean he's a bad person. In fact, he can be quite humble at times."
"Anyways, let's hurry up and find a hotel. I need to tell my parents that Yuan has officially created his faction." Shi Lang said.
Meanwhile, back at the apartment, Yuan said, "Now that I have created my faction, I will leave everything else to you two, Meixiu, Lulu."
"I promise you that I will make it the best faction in the world!" Chu Liuxiang proudly patted her chest.
"What will the requirements be like? If we're even going to accept new members." Meixiu then asked.
"I don't think we need any new members, and I don't like to idea of recruiting people that we don't know just for the sake of increasing our members," he said.
"Makes sense. Then what should we do?"
"I think we can scout for headquarters even though the Cultivators' Association is already helping us with that." Chu Liuxiang suddenly said.
"Sebastian, bring my laptop."
"Yes, Young Lady."
Sebastian then retrieved a thin laptop from their luggage before putting it on the desk.
Chu Liuxiang opened the laptop and opened up a browser.
"We can look for headquarters using this. My Chu Family has an intelligence agency, and I have special access to the system, so I can look at pretty much anything I want from this laptop."
While Meixiu and Chu Liuxiang looked at potential buildings they could use as headquarters for their faction, Yuan went inside his room and retrieved the console that allowed people to play Cultivation Online.
However, he no longer looked at the console in the same light as before, especially now that he knows Cultivation Online is a real world and this console somehow teleports them there.
Yuan laid on the bed, and after taking a deep breath, he wore the console on his head.
After turning the power on, Yuan could feel his consciousness being sucked away. He could feel himself flying through the void, and this feeling would last for a few seconds until he appeared inside Cultivation Online.
Once he was back inside Cultivation Online, Yuan took a deep breath.
"It feels like forever since I last logged on," he mumbled as he looked at the scenery with his eyes.
"After using nothing but divine sense for the last few weeks, it feels weird using my eyes to see."
"I wonder what the others have been up to…" Yuan tried to contact them using their servant and master connection, but nobody responded to him, meaning they were too far away for the connection to work.
Yuan looked at the sky and sighed, "Even though I have returned, where am I supposed to start? Where do I go for answers?"
"The upper heavens… Maybe I can find my answers there, but I cannot go there without Xiao Hua and the others…"
After pondering for a moment, Yuan decided to prepare for the Stairway to Heaven while he waits for Xiao Hua and the others to return.
However, he wasn't sure where to start.
Then he remembered a certain promise he made with somebody.
"That's right… I promised Senior Song that I'd visit her sect before I departed the Lower Heavens… Since she's also a top expert in this world, maybe she knows something about the Stairway to Heaven."
"Heavenly Melody Academy, huh."
Yuan then returned to the nearest city to ask around for the location of the Heavenly Melody Academy.
Once he got the directions, Yuan went to the nearest teleportation device to teleport to the city that was closest to the Heavenly Melody Academy, before flying to the sect on his flying sword.
While he traveled to the Heavenly Melody Academy alone, Yuan realized that this was his first time traveling a long distance by himself.
Ever since he met Xiao Hua at the very beginning of his journey, he would always have somebody by his side.
'It feels so weird being alone, it's also a new experience at the same time…'
A few hours later, Yuan arrived at the Heavenly Melody Academy, and even at the sect's entrance, he could already hear music being played in the distance.
"How can we help you?" The disciples guarding the gate asked him when he approached.
"I'm here to see Senior Song, your Sect Master."
"Sect Master Song? Who are you? Do you have an appointment with her?" The disciples immediately doubted his identity, as their Sect Master rarely receives any guests, and Yuan looked too young to be of any importance to their Sect Master.
It was at this moment Yuan recalled that Song Ling'er had given him a jade slip so that he could contact her.
Thus, Yuan no longer bothered with the disciples and retrieved the jade slip, sending Song Ling'er a message.
"I am currently outside the Heavenly Melody Academy."
