Free Web NovelChapter 337: Chapter 261: Hidden Class, the Second Ancestral Property
White Bone Mountain, the White Bone Array, the Burial Ground!
A skeletal hand suddenly burst from the ground. The earth swelled upward as a figure struggled to crawl out.
It was a White Bone Skeleton, but its body was quite sturdy.
Inside its skull was a wisp of Soul Fire, which flickered as if it were a fluctuating thought.
’Wh-what is going on? Wasn’t I supposed to become an Adventurer? How did I turn into a skeleton?’
The White Bone Skeleton sat on the ground, staring at its own hands and feet, utterly bewildered.
This was none other than the resurrected Qiao Meng.
While Qiao Meng was still grappling with his confusion, he saw a person in a Black Dragon Robe walking toward him. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
The man was none other than Wang Yi, wearing his Black Crowned Robe.
Wang Yi held a Strong Alcohol Gourd in his hand. He glanced at Qiao Meng and said, "Just as I thought! Qiao Meng, congratulations on integrating into the ecosystem and truly becoming a part of my Huaguo Mountain."
The Soul Fire in Qiao Meng’s skull flickered as his thoughts raced, but he couldn’t make a sound.
Wang Yi took a small sip of Mortal Strong Wine. "You got drunk and accidentally fell to your death," he explained. "You were supposed to re-class as an Adventurer and revive at a revival point. However, under the protection of my Huaguo Mountain, your soul was captured by the White Bone Array. That’s why you were reborn here in the Burial Ground. But you did die once, after all. You’ve now lost your status as a Lord. You’re an Adventurer now!"
Qiao Meng was stunned, still not quite understanding.
Wang Yi took another small sip of Mortal Strong Wine. When Qiao Meng had fallen to his death, Wang Yi had received a flood of system notifications informing him that Qiao Meng had unexpectedly revived in the Burial Ground. He had rushed over to check, and sure enough, it was true.
Moreover, Qiao Meng’s revival was no simple matter.
Souls are also part of the ecosystem; the life cycle is an inherent part of its operation. ƒreewebɳovel.com
The sanctuary, the White Bone Array, the Burial Ground, the Nirvana Protocol, and his Player status all worked in concert, allowing Qiao Meng to re-class as a [White Bone Skeleton] within the Burial Ground.
This outcome required all five of these factors; not one could be missing.
Originally, this was an ability that should have only appeared at an advanced stage of the ecosystem’s development. Now, it had manifested early through Qiao Meng. The [White Bone Skeleton] was essentially a hidden class within Wang Yi’s territory.
’The revival priority of the sanctuary, the Nirvana Protocol, and the White Bone Array must be higher than the system’s standard re-classing revival! Qiao Meng, from now on you are part of my territory’s ecosystem, an existence similar to an Earth Deity. As long as my territory’s ecosystem doesn’t collapse, you might just be Undying! However...’
Wang Yi looked around and continued, "However, for the time being, you probably won’t be able to leave the area covered by the White Bone Array. You’re still too weak. Without the White Bone Array’s protection, I’m afraid you wouldn’t even be able to stand. So, focus on your Cultivation here. The White Bone Array will help you grow naturally. In the future, you’ll most likely become a White Bone Demon. If you’re lucky, you might even become a White Bone Great Saint, regenerate your flesh and blood, and return to the living."
Qiao Meng gesticulated with his hands, then wrote in the dirt with his finger: "What about my wife?"
"You have three wives," Wang Yi, who knew a bit about Qiao Meng’s situation, clarified. "According to the system’s rules, they’ll probably assume their husband is dead. They might even forget you exist. The living and the dead walk separate paths. You certainly can’t be together now. But if you can manage to return to the living, it might not be impossible to rekindle your old flame."
Qiao Meng froze, then wrote again in the dirt: "Cao Cao has his eye on my wives. Now that I’m dead, he’s probably going to ruin all three of them!"
Wang Yi burst out laughing. He had also noticed that Cao Dalang had taken a liking to Qiao Meng’s three wives.
"Don’t worry, I’ve looked into it. Although Cao Dalang likes married women, he’s not actually *that* Cao Cao," Wang Yi said. "He’s basically a simp—and a harmless one at that. He can be pretty pathetic sometimes. I predict he’ll devotedly take care of your wives, but he would never force them. And considering Da Lang’s appearance... well, if your wives’ resolve wavers and they end up with him, you can’t really blame the guy!"
Wang Yi continued, "That fellow Cao Dalang only gets married to improve his baking skills. If you’re really worried, then you’d better cultivate hard, return to the living as soon as you can, and get back together with your three wives. Don’t let Cai Dalang take advantage of the opening!"
Qiao Meng continued to write: "How do I practice Cultivation?"
"Your class is a hidden one. Even though I’m the Lord, I have no idea how to practice Cultivation within this White Bone Array. You’ll have to explore and figure it out on your own. The living can’t easily enter the White Bone Array. It’s lonely at the top. Seize your own destiny, and good luck."
With a flick of his sleeve, Wang Yi departed.
Besides himself, the only other residents of the territory who could likely enter and exit the Burial Ground freely were the Undead Musician, Beruna, and two others who were similar to Necromancers: Yang Wanli and Pei Zhi.
Anyone else who entered would be assailed by the necrotic energy.
Qiao Meng’s unique fate made Wang Yi aware that there were hidden classes in his territory. After leaving the White Bone Array, he added the names Ye Qitian, Xue Shentian, and Li Mingli to the sanctuary list as well.
’Ye Qitian and the other two are still on Yamero Star playing ball,’ Wang Yi mused. ’Perhaps one day, they’ll also end up in White Bone Mountain...’
Wang Yi mused to himself. He had a premonition that, due to the White Bone Array, White Bone Mountain was highly likely to become a major power within his territory in the future.
A moment later, Wang Yi stepped onto his Star Compass and set off like a solitary Traveler, exploring the Typhon World on his own. He searched for resources, Treasure Chests, and scenic landscapes, treating it as a journey to broaden his horizons and gain new experiences.
He was also extremely self-disciplined, training like a boxer every day and keeping up with his calisthenics routine.
Two days passed in a flash. Wang Yi returned to his territory, but the trip hadn’t been very fruitful. He had only managed to complete the Refinement of two small mountains and hadn’t found a single Treasure Chest.
