The Rat Race, the Devil Beast Forest
Liu Yi was momentarily stunned as he looked at everyone's comments.
I never expected the system host to get involved to this extent; their ambition is truly astounding.
He only intended to stir up the stagnant waters of the Azure Billows Realm, but he never expected it would create such a massive wave, pushing everyone to frantically surge and desperately try to earn Energy Points.
This world will probably be even more chaotic than in my previous life.
After all, they were all cultivators with strong bodies, and could recover and get back to work after a short rest.
In a daze, he felt that he was somewhat like those capitalists from his previous life.
But upon closer reflection, I don't think I'm being entirely heartless.
The Fairness System is designed to generate Energy Points continuously. As long as they don't work too hard, they can live a comfortable life. The only problem is that their cultivation speed is slower, not that they can't cultivate at all.
Their frantic spending is ultimately aimed at rapidly increasing their cultivation level using Energy Points; we can't blame them all for this.
He merely provided a platform; ultimately, their choices are entirely their own decision, and it has little to do with him.
Thinking of this, Liu Yi breathed a sigh of relief and then bought a mechanical puppet from the System Store.
In the blink of an eye, a mechanical puppet appeared in the Storage Space.
He got out of bed and took the mechanical puppet out of his Storage Space.
The puppet was two meters tall, made entirely of refined iron, with a mechanical feel, and its surface was engraved with exquisite patterns.
Seeing the suddenly appearing mechanical puppet, Little Yellow asked curiously:
"Master, why did you buy this thing? These mechanical puppets are all so clumsy and useless these days."
Liu Yi glanced at it. "This mechanical puppet is different from the previous ones. This is an intelligent mechanical puppet; it can do things on its own and moves quite nimbly."
As he spoke, he placed his palm on the chest of the mechanical puppet and injected the energy stored in the system into it.
The order was then given, "Run around the room."
The mechanical puppet activated instantly, moving nimbly and quickly, its speed increasing rapidly.
Liu Yi then used his Divine Sense to command the puppet to roll, jump, and lift the table, and the puppet did as he was told.
Little Yellow stared in disbelief, dumbfounded. "This puppet can actually move on its own? It feels like it's gained sentience!"
"They haven't developed sentience; they've only been given intelligent functions, and they still need human commands to operate."
After testing the mechanical puppet, Liu Yi put it back into his Storage Space and started watching videos again.
He saw a completely new form of lighting, quite similar to the electric lights of his previous life.
This world, however, has no need for electricity; instead, it uses Energy Points or True Power.
There are also fast-growing poultry and aerobic birds that can carry people in flight.
In the following period, he watched various videos related to clothing, food, housing, and transportation, and gradually gained a preliminary understanding of the changes in the mortal world.
Although he only watched videos taken by other people, it was enough for him to glimpse the changes in the mortal world.
The mortal world today is completely different from what it used to be.
The changes in every aspect of life are earth-shattering, and even compared with Earth in the previous life, they are quite different in terms of convenience.
Looking at these changes, he felt a surge of pride and joy.
This is the empire he built, the world he changed.
It propelled a barbaric and backward feudal society into a stage of civilization similar to modern times.
Nowadays, having enough to eat and wear is no longer a problem, and things will only get better over time.
If there's any obvious drawback, it's that it's too curly.
However, the root cause of this problem lies in the fact that the system hosts are too ambitious, all wanting to Longevity and stand above all living beings.
Immortal-Devil Secret Realm, nearly ten thousand cultivators who had obtained entry qualifications were quietly waiting for the realm to open.
Liu Yi looked around and saw a dense crowd of people.
He was secretly astonished; he hadn't expected that after rounds of elimination in the tournament, so many people would still have qualified to enter.
It's just unknown how many will ultimately emerge alive from this secret realm.
Moreover, with Bai Qianqian, the Child of Fortune, present this time, the secret realm is bound to be even more turbulent, and the number of survivors will likely be even smaller.
He became more vigilant, and information about the Immortal-Devil Secret Realm surfaced in his mind:
Various creatures also inhabit the secret realm, and they can improve their cultivation level through practice.
However, his cultivation level will be sealed by the secret realm to the Peak of the Dao Image Realm (Peak of the Nascent Soul Realm).
Like the Spirit Transformation Realm cultivators who enter from the outside world, they will also be sealed up to the Peak of the Nascent Soul Realm.
However, the Immortal-Devil Secret Realm is truly quite peculiar.
Judging from the information on the system's social platforms, this applies to the entire Eastern Region and even the Azure Firmament Continent.
Only the Immortal-Devil Secret Realm and the Fortune Secret Realm allow low-level cultivators to directly comprehend the Great Dao Principle; there are no other places like them.
The Fortune Secret Realm, in particular, contains three thousand Great Dao Principle. Such a concentration of Principle is probably unique in the entire Azure Billows Realm.
It's terrifying that someone created this secret realm; they even managed to comprehend the Three Thousand Great Dao Principle, just like him.
However, these two secret realms were simply unparalleled treasure troves for him to comprehend the Great Dao.
It suits him perfectly, like it was tailor-made for him.
As Liu Yi was lost in thought, a spatial fluctuation suddenly appeared in the sky, and then a silver spatial gate, three zhang square, appeared out of thin air.
"The Immortal-Devil Secret Realm has opened! Everyone, charge!"
The cultivators who were qualified to enter immediately transformed into streaks of light and flew towards the spatial gate.
Liu Yi followed the crowd and stepped into the spatial portal.
The light and shadows shifted rapidly before his eyes, and in the blink of an eye, he found himself in an unfamiliar world.
He looked around warily and found no one else.
What came into view was a strangely shaped forest, each tree exuding a sinister aura, its gnarled branches bared and clawed, resembling ferocious demonic claws.
He focused his mind and sensed the energy of heaven and earth in the Immortal-Devil Secret Realm, discovering that the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi here was mixed with various energies such as demonic energy and Sha Qi.
"Hiss! This energy is too chaotic. Can I really refine it by absorbing it?"
Liu Yi was secretly alarmed; this situation was even more complex and terrifying than what he had seen in the documents before.
Absorbing this energy not only results in a slow refining process, but also carries the risk of Qi Deviation.
Moreover, this strange forest looks like the Devil Beast Forest on the outermost edge of the Immortal-Devil Secret Realm.
The trees here have been corrupted by demons, becoming bloodthirsty demon trees with extremely high aggression, attacking all non- Devil Race creatures in the vicinity.
What's more troublesome is that there are also a large number of Devil Beast and Devil Race in the forest.
They are a race left over from the High Antiquity war, and have thrived in the Immortal-Devil Secret Realm to this day.
They also planted a large number of strengthening fruit trees, from which the strengthening fruits could be used to temper the body.
However, these strengthening fruits are probably no longer effective for him now.
Since that's the case, there's no need to waste time fighting for it. Instead, we should seize the opportunity to go to the core of the Immortal-Devil Secret Realm and comprehend the Great Dao Principle remaining in the corpses of those immortals and demons.
This was his true purpose in participating in the Immortal-Devil Secret Realm.
As for other treasures, it would be best to find them along the way; but if not, it doesn't matter.
He believed that some system hosts would obtain it, and they might then upload it to the System Store for sale, which would be equivalent to him also obtaining it.
