Okay

Su Luo would rather the former Morningstar Wizard was sitting across from her.

Su Luo had a vague feeling about this before even entering the Career Advancement Dungeon.

Promotion should be a key milestone, and as the Star Wizard mentioned before, try it after level ten...

To some extent, Su Luo was already mentally prepared to face the Morningstar Wizard again.

But...

Sitting opposite Su Luo was a young woman who looked extremely familiar.

[Notherland]!

The Unknown Being encountered in the Third Era of the Large Dungeon seems to have laid unknown methods from the Land of Darkness, causing Su Luo to forget the fourth system skill and instead obtain the [Eye of Guixu] behind the scenes.

And [Notherland] is definitely closely related to [▇▇], which devoured the world where Qi Yuan was!

Following them from the Land of Darkness to Large Dungeon is one thing, since that Large Dungeon is likely near the Land of Darkness or may have already fallen into the Land of Darkness.

However, the Survival System's career advancement Dungeon was deployed from an unknown distance across the heavens...

It's like stepping in a really smelly pile of poop on the street, washing everything when you get home, and then lying in bed and smelling that familiar poop smell again.

I washed it several more times, but the smell still lingered. It even lingered in hotels, leaving me utterly helpless.

I woke up drenched in sweat, relieved that it was a dream, but then I smelled that stench of feces again...

Notherland rested his chin on his hand, a faint smile on his face, his emotions completely unreadable.

Is there something you need?

Su Luo remained silent for a moment, stopping the cold sweat in her heart. She then used some cheap tea leaves from the restaurant to brew a cup for Notherland as a gesture of hospitality.

That's already showing a lot of respect; other visitors are only offered plain water.

"You seem very nervous?" Notherland didn't even bother to answer, simply asking the question.

"I'm not nervous anymore."

Su Luo had already suppressed her emotions.

Desire and creativity are closely related, and the generation of emotions is also closely related to desire. Therefore, Su Luo did not choose to suppress her emotions, but instead utilized them in Cycle.

"I'm just here for a stroll. Taking a walk like this every now and then makes me feel very clear-headed about life."

Notherland hadn't missed a single piece of information, and Su Luo truly had no idea what He was planning.

After thinking for a moment, Su Luo tried to pry off the [Eye of Guixu], but found that she still couldn't.

What is the use of the [Eye of Guixu]?

Since Notherland doesn't speak human language, Su Luo took the initiative to ask a question.

"Just an identity," Notherland answered without hesitation, then countered with a question, "Someone once suggested that you pursue His power after reaching level ten. Would you do it?"

"I don't know," Su Luo answered directly.

"He provides neither information nor resources, so how am I supposed to know what He means?"

"Or perhaps everything was predetermined in the past. He didn't even have any involvement or intervention; the plan was already in place. No matter what I choose, the Future will likely converge towards His plan."

Su Luo spoke very cryptically.

Morningstar Wizard and ▇▇ are both exceptional beings. If they both have feelings for Su Luo, then Notherland's repeated appearances would undoubtedly lower his prestige.

Notherland simply smiled, "Okay, I'll cut to the chase. You'd better contact the [Visiting Lecturer] of the West Thirty-Fourth Courtyard— [Joyce]."

As soon as he finished speaking, Notherland's figure disappeared from the spot.

Only a cup of untouched tea remained, and Su Luo was Jingjing lost in thought.

"All riddle solvers should be hanged."

Su Luo now felt that the appearance of Notherland was merely padding out the word count and had no real significance.

Three pieces of information.

"The filth of the Land of Darkness can traverse countless heavens, or perhaps it came with the power of the system."

"The Morningstar Wizard may be connected to the West Thirty-Fourth Courtyard [Joyce]."

"[The Eye of Guixu] is a symbol of status."

"So, was the reason that white cat mistook me for a powerful being because of the [Eye of Guixu]?"

Su Luo considered it for a moment and felt it was unlikely.

After all, if [Notherland] can enter and exit the Library of [Adrian Academy] as if it were a cup, how could the white cat responsible for examining students directly spy on [The Eye of Guixu]?

At most, it's considered to be an unfathomable tool or cheat, but tools cannot be the standard for measuring strength. Su Luo still leans towards the reason of Spiritual Light.

"Song Shige's career advancement Dungeon was directly interrupted by the Main God Space and changed to other content. The Main God Space represents Great Being, and since the previous invitation was also from Great Being, their [interference] with the Survival System is more significant..."

"I feel that the Morningstar Wizard and ▇▇ are beings below the Great Being."

Su Luo handed over the task of finding Joyce of the West Thirty-Fourth Courtyard to Yun Xiaoxiao, and then continued reading her book with a clear conscience.

He won't Random Thoughts like before; after all, guesses made without sufficient understanding aren't considered prudent.

It's called wishful thinking.

"The Path advancement in the cultivation world isn't really that interesting; the principles are all pretty much the same..."

Su Luo opened the Advancement Outline, as if the Notherland from before had never appeared.

Just like how every S inflicts sadism on a M, they actually derive pleasure from fantasizing about the M's masochistic feelings; the S is essentially an invisible M.

Notherland made a suggestion to Su Luo that seemed like an order, but in reality, it was also a request to Su Luo.

"This Path is actually quite interesting; it's related to the Attribute of Qi, and I also have the conditions to try it."

Su Luo pointed to a path of Immortal Dao:

[Cultivation-Enlightenment Path]

By long-term contemplation of one or more World Rules, one may eventually anchor a part of their own existence to these rules...

This Path can be considered the mainstream Path of cultivation, with both obvious advantages and disadvantages.

Its advantage is its high performance; its disadvantage is that it is highly dependent on the environment.

Not all world rules are open to comprehension; the norm in the heavens is an environment where living beings are not allowed to comprehend the rules.

The world where one can cultivate and comprehend the Path is inherently an open and fertile ground. Cultivators may seem to be in control of the rules, but in reality, they are bound by the World Rules, much like high-level earthbound spirits, with relatively low freedom.

However, the unique nature of Qi compensates for this.

Qi is a special kind of energy that is generally generated freely by a complete system at the world level.

Fortunately, the rules governing worlds that generate Qi are often quite open, and there are similarities between the rules...

Therefore, many cultivation novels mention the concept of "Dao Integration," which can be considered a supernatural Body Refining adapted to local conditions.

Of course, these insights are quite different from those personally bestowed by Heavenly Dao in the Second Era of the previous Large Dungeon.

Those who cultivate this Path have at least managed to alter the World Rules on their own.

"The end of this Path... is [Cultivation-Self-Consistent Path], isn't that close?"
