Regret, the System Exposed
After listening to the waiter's words, Li Jie continued to explore the system's functions while asking curiously:
Are Qian Duoduo and Zheng Siqi that famous?
The waiter couldn't help but chuckle, "They're famous, mainly because they were the first and second people to defeat the Holy Son of a cultivation sect, and they even became candidates for Holy Son."
As for Ye Liang, he was even called the 'most tragic saint in history'.
He had hoped to wash away his humiliation in this arena competition in the Immortal-Devil Secret Realm, but unexpectedly, he was defeated by Qian Duoduo again.
Of course, Qian Duoduo is most famous mainly because he loves to show off and has a thick skin; he even opened a "Duoduo Lending" account in the system.
If you want to know anything, you can search on TikTok or forums.
Upon hearing this, Li Jie immediately exited the System Store and started searching on TikTok.
Looking at those videos and comments, especially seeing Ye Liang's title of "the most tragic saint in history," I felt a chill run down my spine.
This title was truly terrifying, yet Ye Liang did not break down; he still thought about washing away the shame, truly showing his iron will.
He immediately thought that there were many system hosts in the Heavenly Revelation Sect, and most of these people were recruited by him decades ago through the Immortal Ascension Conference.
At this thought, his expression shifted, and a roar rose in his heart:
No wonder they were able to recruit so many people with cultivation potential back then; it turns out the system had already determined their potential in advance.
How could I have been so blinded by greed back then, and not taken the time to experience the mortal world properly?
Otherwise, why would he have waited until now to discover the system? He might even have become a candidate for Holy Son, like Qian Duoduo and Zheng Siqi.
Alas, in the end, it was because I was too arrogant and disdained to understand the mortal world, which caused me to miss such a great fortuitous opportunity.
I'm so regretful!
He stared at the price tag of 1 million Energy Points for the Artificial Heavenly Spirit Root, then glanced at his own empty Energy Points account.
He uploaded all the martial Cultivation Method Cultivation Method he knew, except for the ones passed down from the Heavenly Revelation Sect, and sold them to the online store.
However, as soon as the operation was completed, the system prompted that these Cultivation Method had already been included in the database and could not be sold again.
At this moment, all the pent-up frustration could no longer be contained, and he roared angrily:
"You beasts! You've all taken all the cultivation Cultivation Method and sold them. How am I supposed to earn Energy Points by selling Cultivation Method now?"
This is leaving me no way out! They're utterly inhuman!
The waiter was startled by the sudden roar and quickly asked, "Sir, are you alright?"
Li Jie took a few deep breaths, suppressing his surging emotions, and replied:
"I'm fine, sorry for my rudeness. Can you pay for your Sun Rice with Spirit Stone? If so, give me ten catties."
The waiter's face immediately lit up with joy, and he quickly nodded in agreement, "You can pay with Spirit Stone. I'll weigh out ten catties of Sun Rice for you right away."
After paying with the Spirit Stone, Li Jie left the rice shop with the Sun Rice and headed straight out of the city.
Looking at the mortal world that had undergone earth-shattering changes, he could hardly believe that this was the same poor and backward mortal world he once knew.
"We cultivators are too arrogant, and have been detached from the mortal world for too long. If this continues, I'm afraid the mortal world will surpass the cultivation Immortal Realm sooner or later."
His thoughts shifted, and he remembered something else: should he tell Elder Lan about the Fairness System?
This is a system! An incredible fortuitous opportunity, possessing the power to defy fate. If only I could keep it to myself.
However, he wasn't the only one who came out to investigate; there were two other fellow disciples as well.
What if they also find out about the system and inform Elder Lan first? Wouldn't I end up not getting any credit at all?
"Sigh, I'd better tell Elder Lan." After much deliberation, he finally decided to report the truth.
"Anyway, there are already so many system hosts in the sect, and the system is not something I can monopolize."
Moreover, the system's existence probably can't be kept secret for long. The participation of those system hosts in the arena competition of the Immortal-Devil Secret Realm has already attracted the attention of major cultivation sects, and they will discover the system sooner or later.
I really regret not discovering the system sooner. If I could go back in time, I'd slap myself twice.
Li Jie walked outside the city, glanced back at the city, sighed helplessly, and then flew towards the Immortal-Devil Secret Realm on his sword.
When he returned to the Immortal-Devil Secret Realm and arrived at the Heavenly Revelation Sect Sect's headquarters, he approached Lan Sheng and respectfully reported:
"Reporting to Elder Lan, the matter you asked me to investigate has yielded results."
Lan Sheng's face showed curiosity. "Li Jie did a good job, quite fast. Are those unfamiliar young powerhouses from beyond the Eastern Desolation?"
"They did not come from beyond the Eastern Desolation, but from the mortal realm..."
Since Li Jie had already decided to report the matter to the system, he naturally dared not conceal anything and told them everything he had seen and heard in the mortal world.
After saying that, he handed the bag of Sun Rice and the System Seed that he had exchanged for Energy Points using Spirit Stone to the Elder Lan.
After hearing Li Jie's report, Lan Sheng was incredulous, as if he were listening to a myth.
But when he saw the Sun Rice and System Seed that Li Jie handed him, he had no choice but to believe that what the other party said was true.
He picked up a grain of Sun Rice and examined it closely. It was indeed Spirit Rice, and a variety he had never seen before.
He turned to look at the System Seed in his hand, his expression gradually becoming serious.
After a moment's thought, he decided to bind himself to the system to find out more.
After the binding was complete and he had a general understanding of the system's functions by following the system navigation, Lan Sheng couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:
"This is amazing! What an incredible system!"
So that explains their rapid progress; it's because they obtained such a heaven-defying artifact.
And this Artificial Heavenly Spirit Root is truly unbelievable! The cultivation Immortal Realm is about to undergo a dramatic transformation!
He opened the Trial Tower and scanned the Combat Power Ranking of each realm, noticing many familiar names.
Upon seeing Chen Dehao's name, he immediately couldn't help but burst into a tirade of curses:
"You, Chen Dehao! No wonder you deliberately misled us before, saying you were from outside the Eastern Desolation. It turns out your Chen Household was already bound to the system."
Non-Self hadn't been extra careful and sent someone to investigate, I'd probably still be in the dark.
And those scoundrels Ye Liang, Qian Duoduo, and Zheng Siqi actually kept the system's affairs a secret from the sect, causing our Heavenly Revelation Sect to fall so far behind! It's outrageous!
After calming his anger somewhat, he fumbled around for a while and discovered that using the system required Energy Points, but his account was empty.
So I decided to upload some Cultivation Method to the System Store and exchange them for some Energy Points.
To everyone's surprise, after uploading only a few dozen low-level Cultivation Method, the system notified that they had already been collected and would not be collected again.
"You bastards, it seems you've sold almost all of the Heavenly Revelation Sect's Cultivation Method."
He then uploaded some advanced Cultivation Method, only to find that many of them had already been included.
His face grew even more somber.
He then used the 2.86 million Energy Points he had redeemed to experience all the system's functions one by one.
He was so engrossed in the system's wonders that he completely forgot Li Jie was still in front of him, and kept exclaiming in amazement:
"What an amazing Dao Comprehension Space! It allows one to be in a state of enlightenment at all times, and there's even Monster Game World..."
