Spirit Fields? Spirit Plants? A Design That Will Upend the Sect!

Just as Zhong Yi felt slightly disappointed, text appeared before him again:

Some of your farmland has been upgraded into Spirit Fields!

Spiritual energy is continuously being collected...

Zhong Yi lowered his head and glanced at the ground beneath his feet.

Looking closely, the wasteland contained five rows of fields.

The central row was now covered in greenery, with pale golden spiritual energy rising from the soil.

"So it really is a Spirit Field."

Zhong Yi was rather curious. Why was it telling him this out of the blue?

At the same time, he noticed a number in the upper-left corner: 150.

"150? What does that mean?"

Zhong Yi was puzzled again.

The prompt text in the air continued:

Spirit Plants that have awakened spiritual consciousness may occasionally appear.

A new wave of fruit descended.

Among them was a pea pod glowing with golden light. That had to be the Spirit Plant mentioned in the prompt.

Without hesitation, Zhong Yi raised his blade and brought it down, slicing every fruit and plant to pieces.

Do not chop up Spirit Plants. Use the flat of your blade to knock them onto Spirit Fields, and you may gain unexpected rewards...

"..."

Zhong Yi's fists instantly clenched.

Why the hell didn't you say that earlier?!

I already chopped it up!!!

Fortunately, the next wave of fruit refreshed quickly, and another Spirit Plant pea pod appeared among them.

This time, Zhong Yi avoided the pea pod and used the flat of his blade to adjust where it landed, sending it precisely onto the row covered in spiritual soil.

The instant it fell into the spiritual earth, the pea pod swiftly transformed into a Peashooter with beady eyes and a pointed mouth.

The number in the upper-left corner dropped from 150 to 50.

At the same time, the golden spiritual energy above the Spirit Field gathered into a golden clump and automatically flew toward Zhong Yi.

With a "gulp,"

the number in the upper-left corner increased by 25, becoming 75.

"I get it!"

Zhong Yi's eyes lit up.

"The number in the upper-left corner is the spiritual energy produced by the Spirit Fields. Growing Spirit Plants consumes a certain amount of spiritual energy, and the number written beneath each Spirit Plant is the amount of spiritual energy it requires!"

Zhong Yi's comprehension was exceptionally high in this regard.

At that moment, his earlier disappointment had completely faded.

A vague feeling suddenly rose within him.

This Illusion Realm...

seemed far from ordinary!

It might very well overturn the entire Spirit Cloud Sect...

No!

The entire Cultivation World!

The prompts before him continued:

A group of zombies outside your farm are watching you greedily...

Stop their attack!

The moment the prompt ended, Zhong Yi saw the zombies not far from the Spirit Fields begin to move.

Zhong Yi's heart first tightened, but then he was rendered speechless by the zombies' limping gait.

He was even worried that these elderly zombies would trip over a stone and die before reaching the Spirit Fields...

"But how exactly am I supposed to kill these zombies?"

Zhong Yi stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.

His only weapon was the sword in his hand.

But after trying it, he found that his sword could not harm the zombies.

He could only move within a very limited area in the air, and the only things he could do were chop fruit and plant spirit plants.

Fruit and spirit plants kept falling from the sky, too numerous to take in at once.

As Zhong Yi thought, he kept slicing down countless fruits.

Before long, the shuffling Zombie reached the edge of the Spirit Field.

Just as Zhong Yi stood at a loss, hoping for a new prompt, the Peashooter in the Spirit Field spat out a round pea.

Like an arrow, the pea shot straight into the Zombie's forehead, leaving a crack behind.

"!!!"

Zhong Yi's eyes widened, and he was both shocked and delighted.

He suddenly understood how this Illusion Realm was supposed to be played!
