"Daoist Master," Ling Yi took a deep breath and slowly began, "The pattern on this jade pendant..."
" Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin."
The white-robed Daoist nun calmly uttered those four words.
"You know?" Ling Yi's voice was a little tense.
"Of course I know."
The white-robed Daoist nun put down her teacup. "Because this jade originally had no patterns on it."
"It actually grew out of there some time ago."
" The Final Master, what does this mean?" Liu Manyun couldn't help but ask.
The white-robed Daoist nun did not answer directly, but instead looked at Ling Yi.
" The Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin, you created that, didn't you?"
Ling Yi's heart sank.
It wasn't surprising that she knew about the Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin.
But knowing that he did it made something feel off.
But looking into the nun's eyes, it wasn't a guess, but a certainty.
"Daoist Master!" Ling Yi's voice was somewhat hoarse.
The white-robed Daoist nun stood up, walked to the edge of the stone pavilion, and gazed at the sea of clouds over the distant the Ethereal Peak.
You call this world Blue Star.
"But a long time ago, this place wasn't called Blue Star."
Holy crap, is this a move to be completely open and honest?
This place is called Tianyuan Outer Star.
"It is an affiliated planet of Tianyuan Star in the Great World of Cultivation."
Ling Yi and Liu Manyun stood up at the same time.
The white-robed Daoist nun turned around, her gaze sweeping over the two of them, and slowly uttered the words that completely shattered Ling Yi's worldview.
Ten thousand years ago, the Spiritual Qi of Tianyuan Outer Star was exhausted, and all high-level cultivators withdrew.
"But every hundred years, a Teleport Gate will open."
"A path to the true world of cultivation."
She looked at Ling Yi, and the faint smile on her lips reappeared.
Ling Yi stood there, stunned.
Holy crap, so after all this time, this world is actually about cultivating immortality!
So what does it mean that I've already read almost fifty chapters of urban storyline in this world?
Is this considered going off-topic?
Fanbao's voice echoed in my mind, carrying an unusual seriousness.
[Host, I 'Probe some rather unusual information carriers. I need to use Fanbao Points to view the information inside!]
Ling Yi nodded without hesitation and said, "Consumption!"
[Consuming 1 Fanbao Points, breaking through the target's defense!]
[Consuming 1 Fanbao Points, deciphering data!]
[Information being read...]
[Relevant information has been found in the Fanbao database.]
[Host, we're all wrong. This is a remnant planet of an abandoned cultivation civilization.]
[Beyond Blue Star, there truly exists a vast world of cultivation.]
[ Teleport Gate opening cycle: 100 years.]
[Next opening: 15 days.]
Ling Yi closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
I felt completely awful instantly.
The fear of insufficient firepower reached its peak at this moment.
On the way back from the Ethereal Peak, Ling Yi didn't say a word.
Liu Manyun was also lost in thought, remaining silent the whole way.
Liu Manyun needs to return to the company to handle company matters.
Ling Yi went straight back to the villa.
" Fanbao, what is this special data carrier you mentioned before?" Ling Yi asked, lying on the sofa.
He looked at Fanbao's interface and asked.
brush!
Before Ling Yi's eyes appeared a jade pendant with a light green tinge.
Strange runes were engraved on the jade plaque.
The jade plaque is about the size of a playing card and less than two millimeters thick.
Upon seeing this thing, Ling Yi almost blurted out, "A jade slip?"
[Yes, host. This medium, like the jade slips described in cultivation novels, can not only store data, but also images, sounds, and even memories!]
Isn't this just a jade slip?!
"Give me a comprehensive search for all information related to cultivating immortality."
[Command confirmed, execution begins.]
Ling Yi nodded.
The expression on his face, however, was not pleasant.
There was no way around it; it was too exciting, and Ling Yi couldn't handle it.
Ten minutes later, Fanbao discovered more jade slips.
These jade slips each contain different information.
Some of these records document martial arts techniques, while others record ancient secrets.
The Daoist nun did not deceive Ling Yi.
This world is indeed an abandoned world of cultivation.
Nowadays, Spiritual Qi is extremely scarce.
The strongest cultivators can only reach the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining, not even reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage.
The Master Piaoyun Drifting Cloud Taoist Temple the Ethereal Peak is a cultivator at the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining.
Also, there's information about the Teleport Gate...
" Fanbao, can your disguise fool Qi Refining Stage cultivator?"
[Based on the current disguise level assessment: Can fool targets below Qi Refining, Third Level. ]
[For targets at Qi Refining, Fourth Level and above, the camouflage effect decreases as the target's cultivation level increases.]
[Estimated Master Piaoyun: Ninth Layer of Qi Refining Pinnacle.]
[Conclusion: Disguise is basically ineffective against her.]
Ling Yi gave a wry smile.
In other words, from the moment he stepped into the bamboo forest, the white-robed Daoist nun had already seen through everything about him.
The phrase " Aura that doesn't belong to this world" wasn't a test, but a statement of fact.
She knew he was a time traveler.
She might even know about the existence of Fanbao, that "mirror".
Ling Yi rubbed his temples, a sense of powerlessness washing over him, as if he had been completely seen through.
But then, another emotion took its place: excitement.
If the world of cultivation truly exists, then its upper limit shouldn't be the richest person on Blue Star or the Pinnacle A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality Martial Dao.
His potential is at least that of an immortal.
[Generating analysis report...]
Suddenly, a window popped up on Fanbao.
A report spanning dozens of pages was generated on Fanbao's interface.
[Host, this is all the information related to cultivation that Fanbao was able to find in this world. Fanbao has compiled it into a document, which you can view at any time.]
Of course I want to see it.
I had only briefly gone through the information with Fanbao before.
Ling Yi wanted to know more details, more of the truth.
Ling Yi sat up straight and began to read through the messages one by one.
First entry: Record of unusual energy at the Ethereal Peak.
This data was compiled by Fanbao from multiple Satellite databases, earthquake monitoring stations, and civilian observers.
Over the past century, the Ethereal Peak has experienced an unusual energy fluctuation approximately every 100 years.
The most recent record was in 1924, and before that in 1824, 1724...
Precise to the exact minute and second.
And the next one is exactly 15 days later.
Article 2: Map showing the distribution of Ling Yi restricted areas nationwide.
Fanbao obtained a file marked "Top Secret" from some internal servers.
One of them was titled "Summary of Abnormal Energy Reaction Areas Nationwide".
The document lists 37 areas that were marked as abnormal.
They are distributed in places such as Heavenly Lake, Kunlun Sect, Changbai, and Wuyi.
Similar energy fluctuations were recorded at each location, but their intensity was far less than that at the Ethereal Peak.
Fanbao marked these 37 areas with red dots on the Map, and then drew a line.
All the red dots, when connected, form a giant Eight Trigrams Diagram.
[Analysis Conclusion: These 37 areas are highly likely to be nodes of the same giant Formation.]
[Speculated function of the Formation: sealing or protection.]
[Speculated conclusion: The Ethereal Peak is the core of the formation, exhibiting the strongest energy reaction.]
Ling Yi's fingers trembled slightly.
A massive Formation covering the entire country?
Was it laid out 10,000 years ago?
Who laid it? And for what purpose?
Article 3: Traces of cultivators on the internet.
Fanbao unearthed a wealth of information that had been overlooked by the mainstream internet from the Dark Web, encrypted forums, and niche social media platforms.
Someone posted that they had unlocked their Ren and Du meridians.
Some people claim to have seen people Sword Control Flight.
Although most of the people selling consecrated Dharma Artifact are scammers.
But there is some more hidden, real information.
