The feeling was very strange – both manuals mentioned the same person, but both manuals concealed the name of this person.
Sonia and Diya were also clueless about this, but this was just an insignificant detail.
The reason Asho specifically mentioned it to Sonia was only because this matter was too coincidental, so it was worth gossiping about, but he wasn’t very curious about it.
After all, the owners of these two manuals didn’t know when they were from, and the “she” and “that woman” in the text might already be dead. If they were fated to meet, they might even whip her corpse!
This was the fascinating aspect of the Virtual Realm – it was the resting place of knowledge, and also the grave of sorcerers.
Every sorcerer’s manual here was engraved with a segment of life from thousands of years ago, and those unforgettable stories might not have any written records in reality.
Reality was so cruel to everyone, but the Virtual Realm cherished every child.
Asho returned the sorcerer’s manual to Diya, and after absorbing the manual, her hair quickly turned white.
“What ability did you gain?” Asho curiously asked.
“Isn’t this a matter of privacy? How dare he ask? White Queen, hurry and scold him!” “My lovely princess, we are already teammates with them, so information like this that might increase our combat power needs to be shared honestly,” Diya felt it and said with a strange look on her face, “I gained the sensing ability called ‘Love Hunt.’”
“What?”
“It means that if someone has feelings of admiration for someone else, I can easily sense it.”
As soon as she said this, Sonia subconsciously took a step back.
But she saw the witch wink at her, with an expression that said, “Even if I don’t have this ability, I can easily see through you,” and she forced herself to look the witch in the eye, but the blush on her face couldn’t be hidden.
Asho recalled the content behind the manual: “Speaking of which, that mission sorcerer seemed to have captured many hidden couples in the temple. Did she awaken her own ability when she exposed Frank, becoming a love police officer? But this ability is also quite useful, at least more useful than my ‘Expert in Shoveling Poop’ and ‘Secret of Pleasure (only effective for females over two meters tall).’”
The three of them returned to the car, and not long after driving, they heard a sudden explosion in the distance, followed by a crackling explosion.
But because of the cover of the reverse-flow golden rain, they couldn’t see what had happened at all, and could only vaguely sense that there was a battle in the sky.
“It seems that there are really people looking for death.”
Sonia’s face was a bit surprised, but not at all unexpected.
Diya shrugged, “Basically, there will be an occurrence every two or three nights, and during the peak, it has even occurred three times in one night. After all, the gap between the golden level and the sanctuary level is just too difficult to overcome.”
Asho blinked, “Do you know what happened?”
“A sorcerer with fully spread wings flew into the sky.”
“Fully spread wings… right!”
It was only at this moment that Asho suddenly woke up and looked at Sonia, “Can’t we just fly up directly? Flying should be faster than driving, right?”
“No, you can’t,” Sonia shook her head, pointing in the direction of the explosion, “Once a sorcerer tries to fly, the large knowledge creatures around will immediately sense it. They will mercilessly attack any sorcerer following the footsteps of the reverse-flow golden rain, as if the sorcerer had trampled on the lawn and needed to be punished.”
“The plight that sorcerers encounter when flying in the Time Continent is much more serious than when we were driven out by monsters in the Knowledge Sea last time, because there will be monsters attacking from all directions, and it’s also aerial combat. Even the most resilient weak sorcerer will be quickly devoured.”
Asho recalled the ordeal of being chased by the nine-headed knowledge creature after triggering the ‘Exile Secret Poison,’ and still felt lingering fear, “Then why do they want to fly?”
“Because they want to find the Rainbow Tail,” Diya said.
“Rainbow Tail?”
“A virtual realm legend like the Golden Fish,” Sonia explained, “It is said that the celestial cow has a rainbow tail. As long as you follow the rainbow tail, you can reach the back of the celestial cow, which is the third level of the Virtual Realm – the Distant Sky Domain.”
Asho asked in confusion, “Since the Distant Sky Domain is on the back of the celestial cow, why not just fly up? The sky isn’t covered.”
“Mainly because a two-winged sorcerer cannot possibly fly to the top of the sky,” Diya said, “In the month or so since I entered the Time Continent, I have heard of more than a dozen sorcerers being hunted and killed by knowledge creatures in the sky, but not one has flown more than five hundred meters. Without exception, they all fell.”
“These sorcerers who dare to fly are undoubtedly fully spread wings, and may have even formed a tactical system, possessing many two-winged sorcery spirits and miracles. It’s not an exaggeration to say that they are the strong ones among the two-winged sorcerers. If it weren’t for the fact that it is impossible to elevate the faction realm to the sanctuary level, they wouldn’t take the risk of challenging the sky.”
“But even they cannot reach the sky, which means that it is completely impossible to reach the Distant Sky Domain by flying.”
Asho tilted his head, “So the true meaning of the Rainbow Tail is a ‘safe flight route’…”
“It’s a miraculous way of sneaking in.””In the past, I would have definitely thought that the Rainbow Tail was just a legend among Artificers, exaggerated through miscommunication,” Sonia said with anticipation. “But now it’s different, go for it, Observer, just like finding the Golden Fish, find the Rainbow Tail too!”
“It’s not that simple,” Asho replied irritably. “I feel that the truth behind the Rainbow Tail is just like the true nature of the Golden Fish, surely very different from the rumors. Otherwise, it would have been discovered by other Artificers by now and wouldn’t have remained a legend.”
“They are so arrogant, there are only a few Artificers in the entire Virtual Realm who have found the Rainbow Tail, and yet they aim for it as soon as they arrive, laugh at them!”
“If you’re so eager to express your desires, you do it.”
“White Queen, you’ve changed, you don’t love me anymore.”
“My dear princess, even if I loved you more, I would still find you annoying.”
Asho drove his sports car chasing time, looking at the Virtual Realm map’s area prompts, he resolved to scavenge at least one more resource point tonight.
Suddenly, a series of golden areas appeared on the Virtual Realm map.
Based on past experience, golden areas indicated the presence of adventures, yet the area prompts made Asho’s skin crawl—
“Everyone will grow old and die, including you, so you need to hurry.”
