In the quiet room, Ling Yi looked at Bai Ling and Yan Ji's blank expressions in the projection of the Heavenly Devil and felt utterly disgusted.
"Just one day, just one day?" Ling Yi murmured to himself.
"My collective mission was to find a cure for the T-virus and save the world, and you guys completed it in a day? Is that reasonable?"
He originally thought that even though Bai Ling and Yan Ji were Big Shot, their strength was suppressed to the Qi Refining Realm, and facing the overwhelming zombies, it would take them at least ten days to half a month to deal with it.
And the result?
Although Ling Yi- Burning Technique was suppressed, her Fire Control skills remained superb.
Wherever it passed, zombies Hua Wei ashes in droves.
Yan Ji was even more outrageous. She somehow got hold of a broken sword, and with one strike, all the zombies within a hundred-meter radius were wiped out.
The two worked together seamlessly, almost like they were playing a game of cutting grass.
As for finding an antidote? Yan Ji simply grabbed a zombie scientist, pried out the location of the laboratory, Ling Yi open the door.
He skillfully entered the lab's password.
They easily found the box containing the antidote.
Ling Yi even felt that they were more familiar with everything here than he, the Creator.
Ling Yi fell silent.
It's not that Bai Ling and Yan Ji are too strong.
Rather, the setup for this First Tier was all too familiar to them.
Ling Yi felt increasingly uneasy.
Bai Ling and Yan Ji's familiarity with this system far exceeded his expectations.
This isn't just a simple "correct guess," it's true "mastery."
Yan Ji has entered the Nine Dragons Secret Realm at least dozens of times.
It's normal to be familiar with the dungeon's settings.
Bai Ling was the same; clearly, she was also extremely familiar with the Nine Dragons Secret Realm.
But is that the main point?
The key question is, why did they know the password I set?
At this point, do you still dare to say it's just a coincidence with the original setting?
Can you even break a password by breaking its settings?
If this was also a collision, then that's incredibly coincidental.
As he was pondering, Yan Ji's voice suddenly came from the Heavenly Devil.
" Ling Yi, the First Tier of testing is complete, but I have an idea."
Ling Yi snapped out of her reverie, "Oh? Any suggestions?"
Yan Ji's illusory figure appeared in the quiet room, gently waving a round fan in her hand.
This fan was found by Yan Ji in the secret realm.
I've been carrying it with me ever since.
The addition of a round fan softened Yan Ji's somewhat cold demeanor, making her appear more gentle.
A glint of light flashed in Yan Ji's eyes.
" Ling Yi, your Heavenly Devil Secret Realm is almost indistinguishable from the real Nine Dragons Secret Realm."
"If that's the case, why not just turn it into a real Nine Dragons Secret Realm?"
Ling Yi was taken aback. "Make it a real Nine Dragons Secret Realm?"
"Not bad." Yan Ji nodded.
"Does the Heavenly Devil have a projection function?"
"It can perfectly mimic the special effects when the Nine Dragons Secret Realm opens."
"When the time comes, have someone spread the word that the Nine Dragons Secret Realm has opened ahead of schedule."
"Which powerful being from the Three Realms wouldn't want to enter the Nine Dragons Secret Realm and make a fortune? When the time comes, won't they all obediently come in?"
Ling Yi's eyes lit up.
Yes! How could he not have thought of that!
He originally intended to trick those gods in the lower realms.
" The Heavenly Devil projection mimics the opening effects of the Nine Dragons Secret Realm."
Ling Yi stroked his chin, his mind racing.
"Then spread the word that the Nine Dragons Secret Realm has opened ahead of schedule, and those gods in the lower realms will certainly not miss it!"
"Then," Yan Ji replied, a meaningful smile playing on her lips, "They won't be able to leave even if they wanted to."
Bai Ling nodded in agreement. "Moreover, the rules within your secret realm can be adjusted to suit them."
"For example, suppress their strength and let them experience what it's like to A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality."
"Or, set up some special tasks that force them to cooperate and submit."
Ling Yi became more and more excited as he listened. This wasn't some makeshift secret realm; it was clearly a fishing marvel!
Ling Yi could already imagine the scene: powerful figures from the Three Realms flew in in a grand procession, only to be suppressed to the Qi Refining Realm upon entering the secret realm, and then forced to fight monsters and level up in his Zombie Apocalypse.
At that time, he can scam people however he wants and do whatever he wants; just thinking about it is exciting.
"Alright!" Ling Yi slammed his hand on the table. "Let's do it!"
With a complete Nine Dragons Secret Realm setting, they also have a perfect plan to swindle people.
Next, it was time to execute the plan.
Ling Yi thought for a moment.
Looking at Yan Ji, he said, "I'm giving you some access here. The matter of cloning the Nine Dragons Secret Realm is now yours."
Yan Ji gently waved her fan, smiling brightly, "Brother Ling, are you trying to use me as a laborer?"
Ling Yi shrugged, offering no explanation.
But Yan Ji shook her head. " Ling Yi, it's best if you do it yourself."
"Perhaps we could add some different settings to it."
"Add some settings? Won't that raise suspicion?"
Yan Ji scoffed, "The Nine Dragons Secret Realm only opens once every 100,000 years."
"Exploration of the Nine Dragons Secret Realm has been extremely limited."
People know far too little about the Kowloon Secret Realm.
"So even if you add some settings, no one will notice."
That makes sense.
Now that they have a complete Nine Dragons Secret Realm setting and a perfect plan to swindle people.
Next comes the actual execution.
"System!" Ling Yi called out in his mind.
"Can the Heavenly Devil's projection function mimic the special effects of the Nine Dragons Secret Realm?"
[Ding! Success. Consuming 10,000 Imitation Points will generate the Nine Dragons Secret Realm opening effect, lasting 72 hours.]
"Ten thousand imitation points?" Ling Yi frowned.
"It's a bit expensive."
[Host, this is a special effect on par with the Nine Dragons Secret Realm. Even powerful figures from the Three Realms would believe it to be real. Ten thousand imitation points are well worth it.]
Ling Yi thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, let's change!"
[Ding! 10,000 Imitation Points deducted. The Kowloon Secret Realm opening effect has been generated.]
The next second, the Heavenly Devil shone brightly, and a beam of light shot out from the mirror, soaring into the sky.
The entire Great Yan Dynasty, and even several surrounding dynasties, witnessed this pillar of light.
Within the pillar of light, the Yinyin phantoms of nine dragons swirled, their roars resounding throughout heaven and earth.
"The Nine Dragons Secret Realm... has opened ahead of schedule?!"
Countless powerful figures looked up at the sky, their eyes filled with shock and Frenzy.
Ling Yi stood in the quiet room, gazing at the pillar of light, a smile playing on his lips.
"Come on, all you demons and monsters!"
Welcome to my home turf.
Ling Yi sat back down in his chair, tapping his fingers lightly on the table as he began to plan his next steps.
The Heavenly Devil projection effects need to be set up, the rules of the secret realm need to be fine-tuned, and a few reliable people need to be found to spread the news.
Although he has many things to do, he has plenty of time and means.
Kowloon Secret Realm? A knock-off version will do; they're all fish that come, it's no wonder they're hooked.
Ling Yi stood up and looked out the window.
The pillar of light in the sky continued to soar upwards, with the phantom of nine dragons appearing and disappearing within it, exuding overwhelming power.
From this moment on, the entire landscape of the Immortal Cultivation Realm will be completely overturned by Ling Yi.
