When I write a bug it becomes the core gameplay.

Chapter 662 Nine Realms
Before reaching the Spiritual Transformation Realm, group fights are all about magic weapons, skills, health points, and most importantly, wallets.

Not only must one be able to kill without being killed, but one must also be able to afford the fine.

You can't kill someone super-killed, so you have to be able to hold back and release. There are rules for what skills can be used and what skills cannot be used randomly.

But after entering the realm of spiritual transformation, everyone's battle became abstract.

Even in places that many players cannot see, overt and covert fighting has quietly taken place.

"Why has my cultivation level decreased again? Check it out quickly. Someone from the Eclipse Palace must have come here! Find them quickly!"

"Why is my cultivation increasing so fast and abnormal? Buhao, the speed at which my lifespan increases is not right, find that Kalachakra Zen assassin quickly!"

"Damn it! Why did my body explode so suddenly? This is not normal. Is there someone from the Wuxiang Dan League trying to harm me?"

"I'm about to pass the tribulation. Please help me clean up the scene and make sure there are no people from the Fate Star Pavilion nearby."

"For those who haven't formed a Taoist couple yet, hurry up and form one! Even if it's with a man, it's fine. Otherwise, if the people in Xuanji Immortal Palace keep watching you, your cultivation will be stolen!"

"Don't talk nonsense. This was not done by our Eclipse Spirit Palace at all! Why don't you go ask Jiuxiao Yunque?"

"Shh, keep it to yourself. I found a great hiding place near the Wuxiang Dan League. No one has ever discovered it. I just sucked it up! You come online at 3 a.m. today, and I'll take you there to lurk. A day is enough for you to have fun!"

"We are hiring patrol players with high salary to clear out possible hiding places of hostile players near the sect. The base salary is 3000 low-grade spirit stones per month. For every hostile player captured, an additional 100 low-grade spirit stones will be awarded. The number of places is limited, first come first served!"

"You're only giving away 3000 low-grade spirit stones to a beggar? We're offering 100 middle-grade spirit stones!"

At the beginning, when each major sect only had one or two cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Realm, this kind of sneak attack could barely be defended against.

However, as more and more players broke through to the Spiritual Transformation Realm, the theft became increasingly riddled with holes and difficult to defend against.

Of course, there are also people who try to suck the blood of their own people.

This is a natural idea. After all, there are risks in attracting outsiders, but if it is your own people, it will be fine as long as it is agreed.

I've been making ends meet by doing side jobs before, so what's wrong with taking a short break?

The elixirs are all provided by the kryptonians. They absorb some of their cultivation so that the kryptonians can give back better in the future.

In the field of cultivating immortals, there are also those who ascend first and lead others to ascend later.

But everyone soon found that this method didn't work, because it was really easy to be taken advantage of.

For example, the disciples of the Eclipse Spirit Palace have made an agreement with players from some small sects to absorb their cultivation here at will.

But soon, hostile players will come over and hide secretly to suck together.

As the players from the small sects had already warned their opponents, they did not care how much of their cultivation had been sucked away, and were taken advantage of by their opponents for nothing.

So after a few mistakes, this method of sucking in one's own people was also banned. It was not to protect zero-paying players, but mainly to prevent opponents from taking advantage of them.

Only by not sucking your own people can you discover the other side's people sucking at the first time, and then find a way to drive them away.

As for how to drive him away specifically, there are many ways. After all, it is easier to call for help on your own territory. Just find some low-level cultivators to surround him, and then find some krypton guys to beat him with single-target skills, and you can basically drive him away.

But it's just to drive it away, it's hard to really kill it.

Later on, these players in the God Transformation Realm became smarter. They would not fight you to death if they were discovered. What's the point of fighting for a long time? It's better to slip away quickly and continue to absorb in another place.

It was supposed to be a passionate fighting game, but as time went on, it somehow turned into a game of hide-and-seek.

All I can say is that the masters of the Spirit Transformation Realm are really too strong, and even the nature of the game has changed.

Not only do you need to drive away the enemy players' thugs, you also need radar soldiers who always pay attention to the cultivation numbers, and scouts who clean up the easy hiding places near the sect.

Naturally, there is money to be made from doing these jobs, and many zero-paying players also take this opportunity to make a fortune.

However, there are always some wealthy players who have evil intentions and want to use Nine Dragon Pills to pay off their debts instead of paying with spirit stones in cash.

Some contractors of the patrol teams were very angry and ran to the opposite camp in a rage. After making trouble a few times, the local tyrants became obedient and no longer dared to use the Nine Dragon Pill to pay their debts. Instead, they paid with spirit stones honestly.

The combination of various factors has made the game's hardcore fans even more excited.

Originally, this game required a lot of eating of pork ribs, and now with the surplus of Nine Dragon Pills, although the cost of materials has been reduced, the labor cost has been increased again.

If you are a patrolman in this game and catch a lot of opposing players, plus other miscellaneous income, you can make nearly a thousand dollars a month, which is outrageous.

For the wealthy players, it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter where you spend the money. It’s money to pay directly to the game company, and it’s also money to send to other players.

Sending it to other players can also earn them blessings like "Boss, make a fortune". After entering the God Transformation Stage, due to the addition of this new mechanism, the cultivation progress of top krypton players has not slowed down significantly because of the high realm, but they still move forward to the next realm at a relatively fast speed.

In the game "Against the Heaven's Path", the official setting has a total of nine realms.

After the transformation of the spirit, there are the stages of refining emptiness, fusion, Mahayana and tribulation crossing.

Among them, the Tribulation Period is the last stage. After reaching this stage, as long as you pass the Ascension Tribulation, you can complete the Ascension. So in fact, there are not many changes in the settings, it is just a nominal title.

Because your account will be cancelled once you enter the Tribulation Period, the Mahayana Period is actually the highest level of cultivation a player can achieve in this game.

The following realms are also outrageous, because they are all changes in mechanisms, and there will be a combat power gap in each stage.

In the Refining Void Stage, the original spirit will return to the void and have countless clones.

Of course, it is impossible to provide so many clones in the game. Instead, it only provides 3, 5, 7, and 9 clones in the four stages of the player's early, middle, late, and final stages, respectively.

Each of these clones has the same attributes and abilities as the original character. Players are equivalent to controlling multiple accounts at the same time and can use in-game shortcut keys to quickly switch between them.

People like Lecturer Ding can have several clones hiding in different places, so it won't be a big deal if one of them is found.

This function is actually a bit torturous for the operator, after all, he is forced to process multiple threads, but it is also very torturous for the enemy. After finally catching one clone, there are actually more clones hiding in the dark, and he can never catch them all.

When it comes to the fusion stage, players can choose to merge all the clones into one, and once the nine clones are merged into one, the attributes of each will increase tenfold.

In other words, there will be no essential difference between a player in the Fusion Stage fighting a player in the Void Refining Stage and a player in the Qi Refining Stage, because they can basically use single-target targeted skills to kill the player instantly.

Hence there is a saying that “when combined, we are all ants.”

The only one who can fight against a player in the fusion stage is another player in the fusion stage.

When players reach the Mahayana stage, they will be able to obtain the only authority in the entire server: to open or close the special permissions of the corresponding sect players at will.

For example, once Lecturer Ding successfully breaks through to the Mahayana stage, he will be able to see a special interface in the game, an information interface for all the disciples of the Eclipse Palace in the server.

In this interface, he can arbitrarily cancel all benefits related to the Eclipse Palace for anyone.

For example, low-level disciples of the Eclipse Spirit Palace can enjoy the cultivation bonus brought by the Eclipse Spirit Array, while disciples of the Eclipse Spirit Palace in the Spirit Transformation Realm can absorb 5% of other people's cultivation. These are all benefits brought by the authority of the Eclipse Spirit Palace, and if Lecturer Ding is unhappy with someone, he can directly turn off this function.

Of course, this behavior also has certain limitations: if the other player has already reached the fusion stage, then he will disappear from the list and will not be controlled.

But before the fusion stage, you can only be manipulated by others.

This authority is not permanent. Other players who have entered the Mahayana period can also launch a "power battle" to fight for a specific authority.

In the battle for power, there will be some buff effects on the field for the corresponding sects. If it is a cross-sect challenge, the difficulty will increase.

After the battle for power, the winner will retain the power, while the loser will fall directly from the Mahayana stage to the Fusion stage and can only practice again.

This set of upgraded mechanisms has taken internal circulation to the extreme.

If it is just about improving combat power, then after reaching the Spirit Transformation Realm, the introverted players will quickly become lazy.

Assuming that both sides can roughly draw, then everyone is tired and will naturally take a break; if one side is too strong, then the other side will also start to move.

But now this upgrade mechanism will result in anyone who breaks through a major realm first gaining a huge advantage and increasing the strength of the opponent.

However, the disadvantaged party is not completely powerless to resist and will not be knocked down all at once. Moreover, once they break through to the next major realm first, the situation on the scene will be reversed instantly.

Only when they reach the Mahayana stage can the two sides truly determine the winner.

This is because Mahayana players are equivalent to directly controlling the root of the entire sect. For example, Mahayana players in Mingxing Pavilion can only grant permissions to their own people and shut down the permissions of other Mingxing Pavilion disciples.

Then the hostile forces will forever lose the relevant benefits brought by the Fate Star Pavilion, and no one will reduce their probability when they are undergoing tribulation.

Even if the hostile force already has a Fusion Stage kryptonian from the Fate Star Pavilion, we can still knock him down to the Fusion Stage by launching an assassination attempt.

Of course, hostile forces can also let other Mahayana players cross the border to seize the power of the Fate Star Pavilion. Although it will be more difficult, it is not hopeless.

Stimulated by this mechanism, although the players did not engage in too many battles and did not kill many people, everyone was busy running around and exhausted.

Lecturer Ding's goal soon changed from the first cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Realm in the entire server to the first cultivator in the Void Refinement Realm, and then to the first cultivator in the Fusion Realm and the first Mahayana Realm.

"I, Xiao Ding, want to unify the world of immortal cultivation!"
