Lu Li flashed out of the Dharma Hall where he was in seclusion.
I haven't been out and about for over a year.
The changes in Litian Prefecture City are enormous.
Lu Li in front of the hall, looking around.
The Dao Academy gate, once surrounded by peaks, has now been transformed into a majestic city.
The three-hundred-mile-long city wall is like a coiled dragon, with runes flowing across its black iron cliffs.
A faint blue light flickered throughout the city.
The city streets Diplomatic School, and the houses with blue tiles and white walls are bright.
In the distance, the sounds of people could be faintly heard in the market town; children were chasing and playing, and monks were riding giant beasts across the street.
The spiritual pearl atop the Nine Offices Tower shone brilliantly.
Overlooking this newly born city.
A faint smile appeared on Lu Li's lips.
Sixty years have passed.
He finally had a decent piece of land here.
Looking at the Artifact Inscription streetlights being installed on both sides of the street below the city, Lu Li felt a surge of emotion.
"At least I've seen something familiar in this world."
"I wonder if, a hundred years from now, the Dao Court will resemble Blue Star even more."
Shaking his head, Lu Li moved swiftly.
He did not disturb the disciples nearby.
When they reappeared, they were already in a corner of the city, where the Battle Platform was located.
This is the Dao Propagation Division Academy, a place where cultivators in the city hone their skills through sparring and combat.
There are criminal laws to follow in Litian Prefecture City.
Any fighting is strictly prohibited within the city limits.
If there are any grudges, they can be resolved here.
The Battle Platform is not simply an empty training ground.
Instead, it's a comprehensive arena equipped with various testing Spirit Machinery Law Artifact.
Its shape resembles a giant tower.
It has nine stories, and the entire tower is built of three-tiered basalt.
The outer walls of the tower are covered with densely packed defensive runes.
It gleamed with a cold, metallic sheen in the sunlight.
The nine-story tower has different functional areas on each floor.
The first to third floors are open arena areas, with one hundred arenas on each floor.
The ground is paved with impact-resistant Xuanwu slabs.
Crystals that record the battle situation float around.
Floors four through six are the testing area for Spirit Machinery.
The area is filled with all sorts of oddly shaped force-measuring stakes, velocity-measuring arrays, and pressure-resistance Law Artifact.
A disciple was casting Law Technique at a metal mannequin, and the data on the crystal screen was fluctuating.
The seventh floor is the secret chamber for sudden enlightenment.
A series of quiet rooms, each about ten feet in diameter, are arranged in a circle.
The walls are engraved with calming runes, the doors are tightly closed, and occasionally a mysterious spiritual light spills out from the cracks in the doors.
The eighth floor is the spectator seating area, offering a commanding view of the seven floors below.
Only those at the level of Master or above are allowed to enter the ninth floor.
The Spirit Machinery Law Artifact inside are also the most detailed.
There was even a recent research finding from the Dao Court Artifact Manufacturing Division.
A true fifth-order martial arts illusion array, capable of simulating battles in Spirit Transformation- level illusionary realm.
He instantly appeared on the ninth level of the Battle Platform.
Lu Li stood with his hands behind his back, nodding slightly.
" Primordial Beginning, how effective has this Battle Platform been since its introduction?"
"Have any officials or cultivators in the city made a visit?"
The Battle Platform not only serves the Dao Court, but it is also one of the Dao Court's industries.
Any Spirit Machinery meditation room within the platform requires the payment of Spirit Stone or contribution points to be used.
This was also Lu Li asking about his wishes.
His departure from the pass this time was not without the intention of inspecting the properties of the Dao Court.
"Reporting to Master, the Battle Platform is currently only at 30% utilization."
"Moreover, most of the cultivators come from within the Nine Divisions, with the majority being soldiers on leave from the Army Suppression Division and students from the Hidden Dragon Academy."
The Heart of Primordial Beginning provides real-time updates.
What he said made Lu Li frown slightly.
The usage rate of the Battle Platform is far from ideal.
It's important to know that the construction cost of this Battle Platform was not low.
This doesn't even include the additional Spirit Machinery Law Artifact and array enhancements.
It would be too embarrassing if we couldn't even get our money back in the end.
"The soldiers of the Army Suppression Division are engaged in much fighting on the front lines, and they receive ample supplies. Coming here to enhance their strength and test their results is of great benefit to them, so they won't care about these Spirit Stone."
Students at the Hidden Dragon Academy have the advantage of receiving one free test opportunity per month.
"It seems I underestimated how much lower-level cultivators value Spirit Stone."
"To attract more cultivators, we'll have to add some variety."
The low usage rate of the Battle Platform is not a problem for Lu Li.
It can be solved with just one move.
" Primordial Beginning, make plans for the Battle Platform and betting."
"Odds can be added, viewers can watch and observe, and the bookmaker can pay out, but remember, deadlock is strictly prohibited."
In short, it explains the Primordial Beginning.
Once this betting and gambling system is implemented...
The Battle Platform will definitely become one of the most profitable industries within the Dao Court.
Primordial Beginning recorded Lu Li's words.
The core unit simultaneously formulated a detailed plan and mobilized the Spirit Machinery.
We are preparing to start a test environment for Lu Li.
Although the Battle Platform currently has nine levels, it has only reached the Spirit Transformation stage.
Before Lu Li into seclusion, this was in his plan.
The Battle Platform is divided into an upper tower and a lower tower.
The upper tower, suspended above the sky, is where the Void Return Level test should be conducted.
"Buzz!"
As his thoughts wandered, the ethereal voice of the Heart of Primordial Beginning resounded throughout the ninth level of the Battle Platform.
"Beep! The sixth-order Void Breaking Grade Pagoda Domain domain is unfolding."
"The fifth-tier Spirit Command Grade Reality Fusion Martial Arts Illusion is activated simultaneously."
"Objective: Great Perfection of Spirit Transformation, and the ability to mimic three Demon Beast."
"Anti-gravity field strength loading in progress... 10,000 times standard gravity, increasing in stages."
"The psionic monitoring array is activated, scanning the subject's Spiritual Power fluctuations, physical strength, and Divine Soul resilience in real time."
"The Martial Arts Illusionary Realm has entered combat mode... simulating the Divine Ability of Spirit Transformation Demon Beast."
"Data logging module is ready; a complete analysis report will be generated after the battle."
"Please prepare yourselves, the test will officially begin in ten breaths."
As the amber halo shifted, the vast space on the ninth floor suddenly transformed.
Three ferocious phantom images of Demon Beast slowly coalesced and took shape.
This is the latest research result of Dao Court in the field of illusion.
Reality-Interwoven Illusory Realm.
It can release the power of illusions locally.
On one side is illusion, on the other is reality.
With the support of real-world energy, the illusion can be made incredibly realistic.
At the same time, a pressure field, like a swamp, suddenly amplified Lu Li's body.
A battle is about to break out.
Lu Li leisurely tested his combat strength.
They were unaware of this, because of the unusual phenomenon that had just occurred due to his good fortune.
The entire Central Continent was in near chaos.
In the Central Continent, within the Yin-Yang Celestial Pivot Palace.
Zou Heng suddenly opened his eyes.
His face was ashen as he stared at the illusory star map before him.
The mighty golden dragon, imbued with divine power, was awe-inspiring.
The aura was more than ten times stronger than before.
He remained silent, his previously calm face now filled with solemnity.
His fists were clenched tightly, as if he had seen the last thing he wanted to see.
"This little dragon is growing too fast."
Something's not right, absolutely not right.
"Without support, the other side could never have achieved such a position."
"Who is it? Among Hundred Schools, who dares to make such a rebellious move?"
Zou Heng's gaze was icy.
In his opinion, Jackie Chan's rapid rise to fame must be due to someone supporting him.
There is a background to it.
In the entire Eastern Wasteland, only a handful of families among the Hundred Schools possess such power.
Aside from Yin-Yang School, only the Legalist and Military schools of thought among the various schools of thought possessed this ability.
Thinking of this, Zou Heng's eyes flickered with apprehension.
" The Legalist School Lord Shang made a bet with me: if he lost, he would withdraw; he would never do something so contrary to the law."
"Aside from Legalist School, that leaves only... Bing Wuji!"
