The virtual illusion, also called the Virtual Immortal Realm by many, was a vast illusory world built around the Ancestral Sword.
When cultivators entered it, all their senses felt no different from reality, but they could not truly die.
The most famous feature was the dueling rankings.
Unlike the Divine Glow Ranking Lists, which hung down like waterfalls, this ranking list assessed cultivators' potential.
The dueling rankings, on the other hand, measured actual combat strength.
As Chi Jiuyu had said, the dueling rankings had been established to motivate the sect's disciples. From Qi Refining to Void Return, the top hundred cultivators in each realm could earn a generous number of contribution points.
The rankings for Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, and Golden Core changed periodically, but no one had challenged the first place in the Nascent Soul Realm for a long time.
There was only one reason: no one could beat her.
As the leading figure among the Immortal Sect's younger generation, Chi Jiuyu had no equal among her peers—except for a prodigy in the Righteous Alliance who had advanced to Spirit Transformation at an early age.
As a result, the Nascent Soul Realm sword cultivators in the Sword Sect had grown rather indifferent. No matter how they fought over the rankings, wasn't second place the best they could get?
In the bedroom.
Zhang Yunlu sat cross-legged on the bed, her eyes closed.
A device resembling a Bluetooth earbud rested in her right ear. A faint blue light ringed its casing, giving it a distinctly futuristic look.
With the device's help, her consciousness had already entered the virtual illusion.
The virtual illusion.
Zhang Yunlu sat in the stands.
Below, two sword cultivators were locked in a fierce battle on the broad arena.
Both were at the Golden Core Realm.
