Global Games: Reporting the Great Ascension Stage at the Start

After completing his cultivation, Shen Hua felt his meridians were unblocked and his limbs and bones felt incredibly comfortable.

He looked at his attribute panel, where his experience points were stuck at 50/200.

The actual value is 50.3, but the remainder is rounded up or down and not displayed on the panel.

In the game world of "Ascension", you can only cultivate for a maximum of three hours a day. If you cultivate for more than that, your body simply cannot withstand it.

The remaining time can be used for other things, such as practicing secondary professions or taking on various quests.

Shen Hua is already very satisfied with his current cultivation progress!

He can steadily gain 2.3 experience points a day. At this rate, he will be able to break through to the first level of Qi Refining in about sixty days!

This speed is already terrifying!

It's important to know that it takes at least two years for an average player to advance to the first level of Qi Refining; even for players with exceptional talent and Heavenly Spiritual Root, it takes at least half a year.

As for Shen Hua, in less than three months, his cultivation speed was even twice as fast as that of players with Heavenly Spiritual Roots!

Shen Hua thought to himself:

"At my current cultivation speed, and with continued accumulation, I might be able to achieve the Nascent Soul stage within fifty years!"

In the entire fifty years of the game in my previous life, not a single player had ever cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage. Let alone the Nascent Soul stage, very few could even reach the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

Even the Kree, who are enemies of Earth, are the same.

Kree people can also enter the game "Ascension," and many Kree people are already at the peak of the Qi Refining stage when they enter the game. However, even until the duel between the two sides, no one has stepped into the Nascent Soul stage, and the strongest one is only at the peak of the Golden Core stage.

Shen Hua's terrifying cultivation speed has given him a glimpse of the possibility of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage!

If one can truly advance to the Nascent Soul stage, then the odds of winning the martial arts competition will be countless times higher!

Thinking of this, Shen Hua fell into deep thought.

……

After finishing his cultivation, he stopped using the technique, withdrew the advanced Yellow Heaven Technique from his body, and the yellow light that had enveloped his entire body dissipated.

The disciples around him gradually got used to his presence, and no one stared at him with strange looks anymore.

Just then, Shen Hua's gaze fell on the light screen in front of him, and he suddenly had another idea.

"From here, we can enter the second level of the great formation..."

"Hmm, my cultivation progress on the first floor is acceptable, but... with my wallet, should I go in and give it a try?"

He had some ideas and was eager to try them out.

If the previous gatekeeper disciples heard this, they would be jumping up and down in a panic!

The gatekeeper disciples had repeatedly warned him not to go to the second floor, but Shen Hua completely forgot their advice!

But Shen Hua was truly interested.

Shen Hua originally didn't plan to enter the second level. His cultivation speed on the first level was already incredibly fast, so there was no need to try.

But after opening his backpack and taking a look, Shen Hua felt that he really needed to go in!

The reason is simple: staying on the first floor, the spirit stones in his backpack will hardly be consumed!

Shen Hua carefully calculated the costs in his mind:

"I'm currently an advanced weapon refiner, earning around 24 low-grade spirit stones per day from weapon refining."

"At the same time, I am a steward of the Taiping Gate, and my daily income is 10 contribution points, which is 10 low-grade spirit stones."

"That's a total of 34 low-grade spirit stones."

"My daily consumption is 10 low-grade spirit stones for the Spirit Gathering Array, plus one Qi Gathering Pill of Spirit Essence quality, for a total of 19 low-grade spirit stones."

"Income of 34, consumption of 19, how can this be acceptable?"

Keep in mind that he had a whopping 9125 low-grade spirit stones in his backpack! And he also planned to sell the golden high-grade gauntlets, which could fetch at least 4000 low-grade spirit stones!

With so many spirit stones in his backpack, wasn't he hoping to convert them into his own power?

But staying on the first floor, his spirit stones not only didn't decrease, but actually increased slowly! Didn't he just earn all those spirit stones for nothing?

Therefore, Shen Hua stared at the second layer of light screen, his gaze becoming increasingly determined.

"It seems we have to go to the second floor!"

"Sigh, having too many spirit stones is also a kind of trouble!" he thought to himself.

……

……

The next day at Shenshi (3-5 PM), Wang Yun, dressed in yellow, walked unsteadily to the Spirit Gathering Array.

Her steps were unsteady, her face was deathly pale, and her spiritual energy was severely depleted. Moreover, a large piece of her left sleeve was missing, and there were black burn marks on it.

It's obvious at a glance that she must have just been through a fierce battle.

Since returning to the sect, Wang Yun has spent all his time on the front lines of the war, except for one meeting with Shen Hua.

Today, Taipingmen is in dire straits and its situation is extremely precarious.

As a role model for Qi Refining stage disciples, she had an unshirkable responsibility and took the lead, rushing to the front line.

This morning, she, along with two Foundation Establishment stage senior uncles and more than ten disciples of the same level, launched a surprise attack on a medicinal garden outside the city guarded by the old Taoist Huang.

The medicine garden was successfully captured, and all the enemies inside were subdued. However, Wang Yun's spiritual energy was greatly depleted in this battle, and he almost suffered internal injuries.

So when she returned to the sect in the afternoon, she planned to rest and recuperate before entering the formation to cultivate and make up for her losses.

"This mission was quite fruitful; I earned a full twenty contribution points, just enough to cultivate in the Spirit Gathering Array for two days!"

Wang Yun's eyebrows curved into a smile, revealing a satisfied smile.

She never hoarded contribution points; she spent as much as she earned, almost all of which she poured into cultivating the Spirit Gathering Array.

With the war in full swing and sect missions coming one after another, she worked hard to earn contribution points while immediately using them to improve her cultivation. Her days were quite fulfilling.

But then she thought about it again, and her expression slowly darkened: "The losses are just too great..."

She placed her identity jade token and the white jade token for entering the spirit-gathering array onto the light screen one after the other, a hint of sadness appearing in her eyes.

After several major battles, many of the senior brothers and sisters who were on good terms with each other were left behind on the battlefield forever.

In fact, the casualties among Qi Refining stage disciples were not particularly heavy; the real casualties were among Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stage cultivators, who were the backbone of the battle.

However, disciples in the Qi Refining stage are weak and have low cultivation levels, and they still cannot escape the fate of dying on the battlefield. Once the formation is breached, they will die in droves.

Walking through the passage leading into the Spirit Gathering Array, a thought suddenly popped into Wang Yun's mind:

Could someone like our benefactor, an alien from another world, be used as a fighting force?

They are immortal and can be reborn after ten days of death, which is a huge advantage on the battlefield!

But the next second, she shook her head slightly and sighed inwardly.

Those from beyond the heavens are ultimately too weak.

For someone from beyond the heavens to grow to the point of possessing basic combat power, they must at least reach the late stage of Qi Refining.

That would take at least several years, which is far from enough to solve an immediate problem.

With that thought in mind, she had already walked through the passage and stepped into the Spirit Gathering Array.

She was a regular at the Spirit Gathering Array and knew the environment inside the array inside very well. She immediately wanted to find a corner she often stayed in to sit down and meditate and cultivate.

Just then, a quarrel suddenly broke out not far away.

Wang Yun was stunned.

In the seven years she had been in the sect, she had never seen anyone quarrel in the Spirit Gathering Array.

Look in the direction of the sound.

A disciple at the peak of Qi Refining spread his arms wide, firmly blocking the person in front of him, and said in a resolute tone:

"No! You absolutely cannot go into the second floor!"

The person who was stopped looked helpless and patiently explained:

"Senior brother, I've told you several times, nothing will happen. I've already prepared the pills!"
