Isn't This a Game? Why Are You All Cultivating for Real!

Seeing Song Jiulai agree so readily, Han Daozi couldn’t help but be a little impressed.

"You’re not afraid?"

Song Jiulai shook her head. "What’s there to be afraid of?"

"Excellent, excellent, excellent, excellent." Han Daozi laughed heartily. "You truly don’t disappoint me."

A Sect Master is truly reflected in her disciples.

No wonder this Sect is fundamentally different from all the others.

Song Jiulai, however, was a little curious. "Senior, why did you choose me specifically?"

’If he felt like it, couldn’t he just find a Late-stage Golden Core Cultivator to do it for him?’

’Who would dare refuse him?’

But Han Daozi just shook his head. "When you reach the Late-stage Golden Core, come back and find me. I will be here waiting for you. This array requires at least one hundred people to maintain. How will you screen these one hundred disciples?"

Song Jiulai asked instead, "Does this array require people to be stationed at the Sect at all times?"

Han Daozi nodded. "At the very least, it will require about fifty people to input Spiritual Energy for daily maintenance. Once their cultivation level rises, it won’t need to be so frequent. This array needs one disciple to take the lead role. I’ve already picked one—that Chen Miaomiao will do."

Song Jiulai: "..."

’So you’d already chosen someone long ago.’

’That means I have to accept a rotation of fifty people.’

’Those who go on long trips are out of the question.’

’I guess I’ll have to choose from the lifestyle players.’

Song Jiulai almost instantly thought of having Fan Guzhou lead the team.

His current enterprise was large, and he basically had the list of all the lifestyle players.

But getting a hundred people would be difficult. She’d probably still have to ask which other players were willing.

Han Daozi’s appearance had been strange, and his current actions were also strange, but Song Jiulai was pressed for time.

She would rest in the Sect for two days before having to return to the Dragon Frost Swamp. Meanwhile, Su Huanli was still unconscious, waiting for Chen Miaomiao’s Heart Firming Pill to save her life.

On the other side, her avatar had officially arrived at the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect City.

*

The Ten Thousand Immortals Sect City was known as Ten Thousand Immortals City.

Unlike the view Song Jiulai had from the sky before, this Ten Thousand Immortals City seemed more like a place left for the cultivators of other sects and mortals to gaze upon in awe.

The Ten Thousand Immortals Sect naturally had mortals as well, but most of them belonged to the clans of the Sect’s own members.

They had been here for many years, and even with the short lifespans of mortals, they had developed vast clan systems.

The mortals of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect also had their own designated areas, but they were mostly segregated in a separate place, without contact with cultivators.

"We’re here, my disciple!"

The Chi River Taoist’s voice snapped Song Jiulai out of her thoughts.

She climbed out of bed. She’d had nothing to do on the ship these past few days, and with her main body in trouble, her mind had been elsewhere.

Now that the Chi River Taoist had called out, she scrambled to her feet.

"Whoa—"

"So this is Ten Thousand Immortals City!"

"The Ten Thousand Immortals Sect! We’ve finally made it to the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect."

Nearly all the disciples had appeared.

Song Jiulai went to the bow of the ship and also saw the magnificent city below.

The city of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect was solemn and majestic.

Every brick and tile revealed an extremely orderly and rigorous layout, with dozens of wide, crisscrossing avenues.

The city was enormous.

It was at least several times larger than the Sea View Sect.

With her avatar’s current cultivation, Song Jiulai could only see a corner of the city.

Ten Thousand Immortals City also concealed the auras of cultivators. Once inside, it was like entering an ocean; you could no longer sense the individual aura of any cultivator.

’Mm, this was the kind of place Song Jiulai liked best.’

’Safe!’

Aside from cultivators, she felt the number of mortals here was probably terrifyingly high compared to other places.

Moreover, the Spiritual Energy here was outrageously dense.

She took a deep breath, and a clear, refreshing feeling shot straight to her mind.

As the Spiritual Energy rushed in, she could barely suppress her cultivation.

"I have a residence in the city. Go there first and undo the seal on your cultivation."

Chihe Zhenren had sensed the weakening of the suppression on Song Jiulai’s cultivation.

With a flick of his finger, he led Song Jiulai into the city ahead of the others.

The exterior of Ten Thousand Immortals City had no visible barrier, but as they approached, Chihe Zhenren pointed, and an invisible shield rippled open, allowing him to lead Song Jiulai inside.

Song Jiulai asked, "Master, this place and the Sect—"

She pointed to the sky. "What’s the difference?"

"The Sect is merely a symbolic place for quiet cultivation; you can actually enter it directly from Ten Thousand Immortals City. The Sect is connected to many places on the Yunzhou Continent, but typically only Ten Thousand Immortals Sect disciples are allowed in. When we have business like this, we always start from Ten Thousand Immortals City. It would be impossible to bring outsiders directly into the Sect."

Song Jiulai had a sudden realization.

’So Ten Thousand Immortals City is also used to receive outside guests.’

’Of course outsiders can’t enter the core territory.’

Upon entering the Sect City, Song Jiulai wanted to take a closer look around, but Chihe Zhenren just dropped her off at a residence.

Within the residence, one could choose an additional Cave Heaven Blessed Land.

"You can no longer suppress your cultivation. Let’s see how much you can stabilize it over the next month."

Along with his words, Song Jiulai felt a release within her body.

The seal suppressing her cultivation had vanished.

The surging Spiritual Energy could no longer be contained, and it immediately slammed into Song Jiulai’s unstable realm.

Her main body was already at Late-stage Foundation Establishment, but her avatar’s cultivation was too low, having a negligible effect on her main body.

Now that her avatar was in a place with such dense Spiritual Energy like the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect, the moment the seal was released, Song Jiulai broke through to the Qi Refining Middle Stage in one fell swoop.

Of course, it was far from over.

Song Jiulai spent two days continuously stabilizing her cultivation in the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect, and her avatar’s cultivation stabilized directly at the Late-stage Qi Refining.

The moment she reached the Late-stage Qi Refining, Song Jiulai stretched comfortably.

When she came out, she received a message from Chihe Zhenren: "Not bad. You actually reached the Late-stage Qi Refining."

Despite knowing how severely Song Jiulai had been suppressing her cultivation, he still sighed, even as he was pleased. "But why do you have to have only a White Spirit Root? If you didn’t have a White Spirit Root, perhaps even reaching Foundation Establishment this time wouldn’t have been difficult!"

After all, in a place with Spiritual Energy as dense as the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect, it really wasn’t difficult for a talented disciple to reach Foundation Establishment after staying for a month.

And Song Jiulai had only stayed for a mere two days.

Song Jiulai didn’t say a word.

’She wished she didn’t have a White Spirit Root, either.’

"However, your cultivation has increased too quickly and needs to be consolidated. For now, wander around Ten Thousand Immortals City. I have some matters to attend to, so I’ll be leaving for a while. Also, I’ve already prepared an entrance gift for you. You can check it yourself."

’I can’t believe my new master left so quickly.’

But when she heard the word "gift," Song Jiulai’s eyes lit up.

When she left her place of seclusion, a Qiankun Bag automatically flew toward her at the entrance.

’A Qiankun Bag, just like that!’

She opened it, and the contents gave her a jolt of excitement.

The "Holy Spirit Technique," the mental method of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect.

The "Ten Thousand Immortals Sword Technique," a Cultivation Technique of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect.

"Snow Shadow Reincarnation," likely a speed-type Cultivation Technique from the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect.

In addition, there was a rather special Cultivation Technique.

The "Peeping Shadow Skill." It could actually see through the disguises of Demon Cultivators and track their auras.

This meant that by cultivating this magic, she could see through even the best-disguised Demon Cultivators.

’It probably depends on our relative levels, though.’
