City of Exile, Sudden Enlightenment
Liu Yi browsed through "Fairness System 12.0 Update" and "Immortal Artifact Rental Service is a Boon for the Tribulation Transcendence Realm Cultivators" in turn.
The three trending topics, "The Dao Seed Martial Dao System is Perfected to the True Martial Realm," prompted him to plan his return to the Heavenly Pillar Peak Ruins to see what state those system hosts had left there.
He had just logged out of TikTok when he saw a message from Little Yellow in Microchat:
"Master, have you emerged from seclusion?"
Qian Duoduo and I have arrived in the Land of Exile. Where are you? I'm coming to find you.
Liu Yi replied, "I'm just about to return to the City of Exile that I built near the Heavenly Pillar Peak ruins. You can come find me later."
Little Yellow replied instantly, "Okay! I'll go back after I deal with this Devil Beast."
Although this Land of Exile is rich in heavenly materials and earthly treasures and abundant Innate Spiritual Qi, making it a supreme cultivation ground, it is also far too dangerous.
Qian Duoduo and I have been in dangerous situations several times. If we hadn't had enough trump cards, we probably would have been in trouble long ago.
"You don't need to rush back; this is a good opportunity for you to gain experience," Liu Yi said.
"I want to stay with my master; it's too dangerous here," Little Yellow replied immediately.
Liu Yi shook his head and didn't insist.
Little Yellow was originally his spirit pet, and he never intended for it to become an unparalleled powerhouse. He would let it decide its own path.
He activated the system's Spatial Teleportation and instantly returned to the ruins of Heavenly Pillar Peak.
Twelve spatial gates appeared simultaneously in front of him, and numerous system hosts poured out of them one after another.
As everyone felt the Great Dao Chains binding them from the Land of Exile, and also sensed the rich Innate Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth, they couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
"Wow, so this is the Great Dao Chains? I can't even fly, and I can't even release my True Power! It's as if I've become a A Mortal."
"Such rich Spiritual Qi! Is this Innate Spiritual Qi? Just a few breaths and my cultivation seems to have improved."
"I feel my life force slipping away. I originally had over two thousand years left to live, but here I fear I only have a thousand or so..."
"Don't worry! The Land of Exile has a time flow speed a hundred times faster, abundant Innate Spiritual Qi, and countless rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures. With the support of the system, improving your cultivation will be a piece of cake."
Once you break through your cultivation level, your lifespan will naturally increase. Besides, you can also consume longevity pills to replenish your lifespan. It's just a loss of some lifespan, which is insignificant.
Liu Yi glanced at everyone, but instead of flying, he covered a hundred meters in a single step and walked straight outside.
In a short while, he had reached the edge of the Heavenly Pillar Peak ruins, and looking up,
Below Heavenly Pillar Peak, one can see densely packed houses and buildings, arranged in an orderly manner, with streets crisscrossing and stretching in all directions.
What was once a primeval forest and Savage Wilderness land has been transformed into a well-organized and magnificent city in just twenty years.
"These system hosts are quite capable, as they are unable to use Law Technique Divine Ability, or release their True Power."
"Given the impossibility of flying, the fact that they could build such a massive city so quickly is truly remarkable."
He slowly descended the stone steps winding down from Heavenly Pillar Peak, and as soon as he reached the foot of the peak, he saw hundreds of automated buses parked nearby.
This is a recent creation of the Puppet Sect. They have transformed mechanical puppets into automated buses that can pick up and drop off people on fixed routes. It is convenient, fast, and very popular.
Instead of taking the bus, he walked slowly along the sidewalk.
Although I had seen the City of Exile in videos before, the experience of actually visiting it was completely different.
He looked around and found everything incredibly novel. Each building had its own unique style and was completely different, like a grand exhibition of architectural styles.
All sorts of architectural styles from the Azure Billows Realm can be found here.
The once high and mighty cultivators now live in harmony with the A Mortal were once regarded as ants, and the rigid class barriers of the past are gone.
This harmonious scene is all thanks to the existence of Fairness System.
Of course, those A Mortal were once part of the mundane world have now all entered the ranks of cultivators, and are no longer the A Mortal ants of the past.
Looking at everything before him, Liu Yi felt a deep sense of satisfaction.
He truly changed the world, rather than being assimilated into it.
Although true equality for all has not been achieved, at least all people can be fed and live in peace, no longer needing to be wantonly harmed for no reason.
They can even embark on the path of cultivation, gaining the opportunity to defy fate.
While the current Fairness System covers areas that are not perfect, it is still thousands of times better than before.
Cultivators and mortals are no longer clearly separated; they can now coexist harmoniously.
While differences in cultivation level still create social classes, nowadays everyone can cultivate, and those with high cultivation levels dare not be overly arrogant.
Because they cannot know whether the person they bullied will surpass them in the future.
Therefore, even those with exceptional cultivation dare not look down on the weak as ants. Instead, most people are humble and unwilling to make enemies for no reason.
This peculiar situation was thus formed, allowing people of different cultivation levels to live in harmony.
As time goes by, this phenomenon is becoming increasingly common among the new generation who are born into Fairness System.
Liu Yi believed that, given time, those stubborn old fogies in the cultivation Immortal Realm would eventually bow their proud heads in the face of overwhelming trends and recognize reality.
At that moment, he suddenly felt his mind become clear and bright, and he suddenly entered a state of enlightenment, surrounded by the aura of the Dao.
The Mind World rapidly refined the Soul Power, causing the world's area to expand quickly; the Cultivation Method also operated frantically, refining all the energy transformed from the Energy Points.
The Innate Spiritual Qi and demonic energy between heaven and earth surged forth like rivers flowing into the sea.
His aura surged at a visible speed, as if he would break through the Peak True Martial Realm and become Martial King in the next moment.
This astonishing phenomenon immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding system hosts.
Looking at Liu Yi's state, everyone instantly understood that he had entered a state of enlightenment.
"Hiss! It's an epiphany! Such fortuitous opportunity for enlightenment is something you can only encounter once in a lifetime!"
"So it's Liu Yi! His talent is truly unparalleled; he could achieve enlightenment right here in the middle of the city. No wonder his strength surpasses all others. Compared to him, I'm practically a piece of trash."
"Is this Liu Yi? He's actually come to the Land of Exile. This is the first time I've seen him in True Person. The overwhelming pressure emanating from him makes me not even have the courage to make a move."
"His aura is too powerful, even exuding the Daoist essence of Longevity. Could it be... that he has broken through to the Longevity Realm?"
"Very likely! With his extraordinary talent, reaching the Longevity Realm is only natural."
"Have you noticed? Liu Yi is absorbing demonic energy along with it, and there's absolutely no sign of Qi Deviation or becoming demonic!"
"Holy crap! It's really true, it's absolutely insane! Every time I cultivate, I have to go through a lot of effort to clear away demonic energy, but he can refine it directly."
He truly deserves to be called the number one genius and expert in the Azure Billows Realm. Compared to him, the gap between us is too vast.
Liu Yi slowly opened his eyes, feeling his internal Law Power growing increasingly profound and powerful, as if he could break through to the Martial King Realm at any moment.
My State of Mind also improved significantly, and my Mind World expanded by nearly one-tenth.
His lips curled slightly, and his face showed delight.
Unexpectedly, merely observing the city built by the system host in the Land of Exile out of curiosity led to enlightenment, a sudden awakening, and a significant advancement in cultivation—truly an unexpected delight.
