Stunned: The Three Bind to the System

Wang Ruoyao listened to their conversation, her delicate brows furrowing slightly. Full of doubt, she responded with Divine Sense message:

What you're saying makes sense, but something still feels off to me.

With so many cultivators suddenly appearing, where will their Cultivation Resources come from?

The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is already scarce, and external Cultivation Resources are also lacking, so it is simply impossible to support so many people cultivating.

And what about the martial arts practitioners they mentioned? Judging from their description, they could actually rival immortal cultivators, and their combat power was exceptionally strong?

Upon hearing this, Wei Jiaming frowned even more deeply, a hint of doubt creeping into his Divine Sense communication:

"You've hit the nail on the head; that's the strangest part."

How exactly did they solve the problems of insufficient Spiritual Qi and resource shortages?

As for martial arts practitioners... surely that doesn't refer to those who cultivate ordinary martial arts techniques?

"But ordinary martial Cultivation Method can't even break through to the Golden Core Realm, so how can they compare to immortal cultivators? And yet these cultivators are forced to practice close combat? This just doesn't make sense."

Chen Xingci also asked with a puzzled look, "This Eastern Desolation is strange in every way, but I can't quite put my finger on what's wrong with it."

And those magical armors called mechs—they don't seem like something that could be created in the cultivation Immortal Realm at all; they seem to come from another world."

Wei Jiaming suddenly smiled and said softly, "Stop guessing, just ask someone directly."

Having said that, he flew towards a talkative, kind-looking cultivator, cupped his hands, and asked:

"Fellow Daoist, my name is Wei Jiaming."

I've just come out of quarantine and am not very familiar with the changes in the outside world. May I ask you for some advice?

Also, I'd like to inquire about the location of the nearby cultivation market.

Yan Cheng turned around upon hearing the sound, looked at Wei Jiaming and Chen Xingci and Wang Ruoyao beside him, and smiled knowingly:

"Oh, it's you guys."

That's not being honest. You're clearly a cultivator from the Central Continent, not someone who just came out of seclusion.

Upon hearing this, Wei Jiaming looked embarrassed, not expecting to be recognized. He quickly explained:

"Fellow Daoist, please forgive me. I did not intend to conceal anything; I simply wanted to avoid some trouble."

Fellow Daoist, do you recognize me? Perhaps you are also from the Central Continent?

"I'm not from the Central Continent."

Yan Cheng smiled and shook his head, "Speaking of which, you cultivators from the Central Continent have always referred to my Eastern Desolation as a remote and impoverished place, and disdained to set foot there. Why have you come here in person today?"

These words made Wei Jiaming even more embarrassed. He hadn't expected that even ordinary cultivators knew about the discrimination against the Eastern Desolation by cultivators from the Central Continent.

"We just wanted to see what was so special about this place that could nurture so many geniuses; we meant no harm whatsoever."

Yan Cheng nodded in understanding. "Yes, it's clear you mean no harm."

However, there are no cultivation markets nearby anymore. Cultivation markets are scarce in the Eastern Desolation these days, and they will probably disappear completely in a while.

Wei Jiaming looked puzzled and asked, "If the cultivation market is gone, where will everyone buy Cultivation Resources?"

Yan Cheng replied matter-of-factly, "Of course you should buy it from the System Store or in a city in the mortal realm."

Wei Jiaming's mind went blank for a second.

What is the System Store?

Cultivation Resources have to be purchased from cities in the mortal realm?

How could a place as sparsely Spiritual Qi as the mortal realm possess the Cultivation Resources needed by cultivators?

This is utterly absurd and makes no sense whatsoever!

He frowned and said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist, do you perhaps think you can play tricks on us just because we come from the Central Continent?"

Cultivation Resources are incredibly precious; how could mortal cities possibly possess them?

And the System Store you mentioned, could it be the newly established Immortal Cultivation Marketplace?

Yan Cheng was taken aback upon hearing this, then realized that he had indeed been too presumptuous in his statement.

The other party had never even been exposed to the Fairness System, so naturally they didn't know what the System Store was, and were completely unfamiliar with the situation in the Eastern Desolation Mortal Realm.

To explain this clearly, we cannot avoid the issue of Fairness System.

Although all system hosts tacitly agree not to Dissemination System throughout the Immortal Realm,

However, since Wei Jiaming and his two companions have already entered the Eastern Desolation, they will eventually become aware of the system's existence.

Telling them now wouldn't break the unspoken agreement; in fact, it would allow me to earn some Energy Points.

Thinking of this, Yan Cheng's expression turned serious. "Fellow Daoist Wei, you are overthinking it. I am not trying to deceive you."

You are unaware of the intricacies of the Fairness System to it.

I happen to have three System Seed here. Once you bind them to the system, all your questions will be answered.

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and flipped it over, and three System Seed that were glowing faintly appeared in his palm. He then handed them to Wei Jiaming, Chen Xingci, and Wang Ruoyao.

Looking at Yan Cheng's sincere expression, Wei Jiaming accepted the System Seed with a heart full of doubt.

He examined it carefully, but sensed no danger and couldn't figure out what it was.

He glanced at Chen Xingci and Wang Ruoyao, exchanged a look, and finally nodded in tacit agreement to bind.

As soon as he agreed, the interface of the Fairness System immediately appeared in his mind. Then, following the introduction of the system navigation, he began to explore and familiarize himself with it.

His pupils contracted sharply, his expression shifting from confusion to shock, then to ecstatic joy, and he couldn't help but exclaim repeatedly:

"Wow... how amazing! Could this be a legendary celestial treasure?"

Wow, the Dao Comprehension Space can help people achieve enlightenment and cultivate, Reincarnation Illusion Realm can even improve State of Mind?

There's even a Spatial Teleportation, which can be used freely as long as you have Energy Points —something even the cultivation Immortal Realm of the Central Continent can't do.

Although there is a teleportation array, it consumes too many Spirit Stone, so apart from inter-domain travel, no one uses it at all.

There are also TikTok), Microchat, and forums, which enable instant communication regardless of spatial distance.

This... this is far superior to any communication Law Treasure!

The System Store even sells so many Cultivation Method, heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and miraculous elixirs...

Wow, they even sell Artificial Heavenly Spirit Root?

Does that mean... no one is anymore limited by their cultivation aptitude?

If this gets out, the cultivation Immortal Realm will probably change drastically!

Besides the Immortal Cultivation System, there's also Dao Seed Martial Dao System, Artifact Cultivation System... How is this possible?

There are actually other cultivation systems in the world... This is truly going to change the world.

There's also Monster Game World... Trial Tower... Portable Daoist Sanctum...

How could such a heaven-defying artifact exist?

Are all the cultivators in the Eastern Desolation bound to a system?

Wei Jiaming and the other two were fumbling around to familiarize themselves with the Fairness System, their exclamations of surprise never ceasing.

Half an hour later, after they had become somewhat familiar with the system, they suddenly realized their lapse in composure.

The shock on their faces vanished instantly, replaced by embarrassment.

We looked at each other and read the word "shameful" in each other's eyes.

Especially Wang Ruoyao, as the Holy Maiden of the Jade Water Palace, her boisterous manner just now was really unbecoming of a Holy Maiden's dignified demeanor.

The three of them took a deep breath, suppressing their excitement, and turned to look at Yan Cheng, their eyes filled with gratitude.

"Many thanks to you for gifting us the System Seed. Otherwise, we would have missed such a Tianji."

Yan Cheng looked at these three prodigies from the Central Continent, whose appearance when they bound to the system was no different from that of ordinary cultivators, and couldn't help but smile and wave his hand:

Even if I don't give you the System Seed, you will discover the existence of the Fairness System in the future.

Now, almost everyone in the entire Eastern Desolation is bound to a system, and even in your Central Continent mortal realm, most people have already bound themselves to a system.

"What?"

Wei Jiaming and his two companions were instantly struck dumb, their eyes wide with disbelief and astonishment.

"Fellow Daoist, you... you really mean this? The entire Eastern Desolation is bound to the system?"

Even most of the people in our mortal realm of the Central Continent are bound to the system, this... how is this possible?
