"If you can see the participants, does this mean you know where the other two disciples are at? Where are they? I need to regroup with them as soon as possible, and it would help a lot if I know where to go." Yuan said to her.
"Unfortunately, while we can see them, we don’t know their exact location, especially since they have spent almost every minute in the same location ever since they entered the Mystic Realm, increasing their cultivation base," Meixiu said.
"Once I learn of their location, I’ll let you know immediately," she then added.
"Okay. Thank you. I have to return to the game now. There’s somebody waiting for me."
"Eh? Who are you with?"
"A native from the Mystic Realm. I met her on the first day, and she’s currently helping me reach the nearest city. However, it’s going to take a week..." Yuan sighed.
"Anyways, I’m going back now. Thank you for dinner, it was amazing as always."
Sometimeter, Yuan returned to Cultivation Online whilst Meixiu went to clean up before going back inside the game as well.
"Sorry for making you wait, Miss Lan. I’m back." Yuan said to her, who was just standing there with a dazed look on her face.
Once she saw Yuan, Lan Yingying nodded her head and continued walking like nothing was out of the ordinary.
After walking for an hour, Lan Yingying suddenly said, "Do you want to run? It’ll shorten the time we need to get to the city by almost half depending on how fast we run."
Yuan nodded, "If you don’t mind."
Thus, the two of them began speeding up and running across the empty grasnd, following the direction of the blue star in the darkened sky.
A couple of hourster, once the sky waspletely dark and flickering with stars, Lan Yingying suddenly halted and said, "Stop."
Yuan quickly stopped and asked her, "What’s the matter?"
"There’s a magical beast ahead. First level Spirit Master. I’ll handle it." Lan Yingying said to him.
"Wait a moment." Yuan suddenly stopped her, and he continued a momentter, "Can I handle this? I want to try out my Sword Aura."
"You want to fight a Spirit Master as a Spirit Warrior? You’re not even halfway to the peak of Spirit Warrior..." Lan Yingying looked at him with wide eyes, almost like she was looking at a crazy person.
"I just want to hit it once with my Sword Aura. If it doesn’t work out, I’ll let you handle it." Yuan then said.
"Okay..." Lan Yingying nodded her head.
The two of them continued moving shortly after, but they stopped running.
About ten minutester, they could see a massive reptile with arge jaw that resembled a certain type of dinosaur, and it was standing on two legs, almost like a T-Rex. Furthermore, there appeared to be rocks growing on its skin, kind of like an armor.
"What kind of magical beast is that?" Yuan couldn’t help but ask her.
"That’s an Earth Dragon. They are incredibly tough and powerful. One would think they are slow due to theirrge figure, but they are actually the opposite and quite nimble." Lan Yingying said.
And she continued, "If you want to hit it, you’ll need to take it by surprise. However, you only have one chance. If your attack fails for whatever reason, I will deal with it."
Yuan nodded and took a deep breath before retrieving the Empyrean Overlord from his body.
"T-That sword..." Lan Yingying couldn’t take her eyes away from the Empyrean Overlord for some reason after seeing it, almost like there was something about it that was attracting her on a spiritual level.
Meanwhile, Yuan took a deep breath before disying his movement technique, closing the distance between him and the Earth Dragon very quickly.
The Earth Dragon noticed Yuan almost immediately, but when it realized Yuan’s pathetic cultivation basepared to its own, the Earth Dragon scoffed at Yuan’s reckless behavior inwardly and didn’t even bother trying to defend against Yuan’s attack since it was confident in its own toughness.
Once he was close enough, Yuan’s eyes flickered with viciousness, and his body exploded with Sword Aura.
"?!?!"
The contempt in the Earth Dragon’s eyes immediately disappeared, reced with intense fear.
"Bloody Sword Strike!"
The Empyrean Overlord emitted a domineering red aura, and Yuan swung it at the Earth Dragon without holding back.

BOOM!
The Earth Dragon was frozen from shock and felt suppressed by the sword’s overwhelming pressure.
A split secondter, the Empyrean Overlord reached the Earth Dragon’s tough skin before cleaving its massive body in half with ease, like a sharp knife going through tofu.
However, the Empyrean Overlord didn’t stop after cleaving the Earth Dragon and continued to m onto the ground, creating a massive fissure in the ground that spread out meters into the distance, resembling tree roots.
Lan Yingying’s jaw dropped when she witnessed the overwhelming prowess disyed by Yuan, who was merely a fifth-level Spirit Warrior.
’Heavens! What is his body made of?! How can a Spirit Warrior have such strength?’ Lan Yingying cried inwardly.
Forget about killing the Earth Dragon in one hit, she didn’t even expect Yuan to prate the Earth Dragon’s defenses!
’Is he really this powerful, or is it because of that mythical sword?’ Lan Yingying wondered to herself.
After killing the Earth Dragon, Yuan went to check if it left behind its monster core, but s, it was empty.
A few momentster, Lan Yingying approached Yuan and looked at the Earth Dragon’s corpse with a weird glint on her eyes before swallowing nervously.
"Yuan, what kind of sword is that?" Lan Yingying asked him a momentter.
"The Empyrean Overlord? It’s my Soul Weapon," he said.
"Soul Weapon? What about the dagger? It gave off a simr aura."
"That’s also a Soul Weapon. I have two," he calmly responded.
"Two Soul Weapons..." Lan Yingying was speechless.
After a moment of silence, she asked him, "By the way, if you don’t mind, can I see that sword? I am getting some kind of feeling from it, and I don’t know why."
