Lucky billion players, you've never seen one before / I can accumulate my own luck

“No need,” Fan Xiao said. “The cultivation techniques you found are probably not as good as the ones I randomly pieced together with luck.”

Youbai: "..."

Fan Xiao continued, "Moreover, cultivation... this system is based on instance rules, so it should not be as good as the evolution rate system which has universal applicability. Directly improving immortal cultivation should be much simpler than improving the evolution rate? Hmm... I can try it when I have some free time."

Youbai: "..."

I almost forgot that the boss is a cheat code.

Can you please stop talking? If you keep going... she'll feel like all those years of cultivation have been for nothing!

"Little Bai, are you at the Golden Core stage?"

As Fan Xiao asked curiously, his gaze fell on Youbai's abdomen.

"..." Youbai blushed slightly and said, "Yes, boss."

If she remembered correctly, Fan Xiao seemed to have X-ray vision... and it was X-ray vision at a conceptual level.

Yu Bai felt a little awkward.

"The limit of the mortal realm is the Nascent Soul stage. A Golden Core cultivator in the mortal realm would be considered a powerful figure." Fan Xiao looked at Youbai and said with a slight sigh, "I didn't expect you to be a Golden Core ancestor, Little Bai. You have quite the talent."

"...Boss, you're joking."

Youbai replied, "The cultivation conditions in the mortal realm and the spiritual realm are different. Whether it is the density of spiritual energy or the density of immortal laws, the spiritual realm is incomparable to the mortal realm. People who have reached the Golden Core stage at my age in the spiritual realm are not uncommon. I am not particularly outstanding."

"As for Miss, she has already reached the peak of the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm at such a young age, which is truly a gift from heaven."

"Miss has been back for some time now; she may have already advanced to the Nascent Soul stage."

"I never expected Xiaoyu to be a Nascent Soul cultivator." Fan Xiao sighed.

Youbai: "..."

Well, the boss is probably excited about the cultivation culture these days, and this teasing behavior will probably continue for a while.

She has to get used to it.

Fan Xiao turned his head and looked at Jingjing, who was silent, and asked, "Jingjing, are you a Foundation Establishment senior?"

After a moment of silence, he replied, "When I came to see my sister before, I had practiced cultivation. My father also practiced cultivation; he has the cultivation of a Golden Immortal here, which is much higher than mine."

Upon hearing this, Fan Xiao was not surprised.

Jing's older sister, the Great Dream Immortal Venerable, was born at node C.

It's obvious without even thinking that the old man, the Court Master, must have come here to flirt with girls. He's already cultivated to the Golden Immortal level... he must have spent a lot of time lounging around here.

What a shameless old man!

Oh, it could also be a romantic debt from when I was young.

"A Golden Immortal?" Youbai was surprised. "I didn't expect the Court Master to have such a high level of cultivation. A Golden Immortal... the Court Master must have been to the Immortal Realm."

She gave a slight look of longing.

"You haven't been there?" Fan Xiao asked. "Didn't you and Xiaoyu take a teleportation array from the Immortal Realm to Node F, and then go to Node G?"

“Boss, the interdimensional teleportation array is not located inside the Immortal Realm,” Youbai said. “The Immortal Realm is a world created by combining the C04-001 partition with the Immortal Emperor’s secret realm. Only those who have successfully ascended can go there. Neither Miss nor I have ever entered it.”

"What kind of existence is an Immortal Emperor?" Fan Xiao asked curiously.

"According to outside sources... the Immortal Emperor is probably the most powerful dungeon boss in the entire Evolution Game."

After a moment's thought, Youbai replied.

Fan Xiao grasped the key point: "Probably?"

“Because so far, no one has fully explored the Strange Sea… that is, the E node.” Youbai said, “There are too many strange and powerful dungeons in the E node. Perhaps deep within it, there is a being comparable to the Immortal Emperor.”

"The most powerful dungeon boss..."

Fan Xiao became quite interested in this positioning.

At the same level, dungeon bosses are generally stronger than players.

If this rule also applies at the top... the Immortal Emperor of Node C, in his own territory, might possess strength surpassing that of a top-tier god-level player.

Fan Xiao asked Xiao Zhen about this issue.

result……

“Master, there are no clear records of combat between the two sides, so I can only offer my own speculation,” Xiao Zhen said. “According to theoretical data, a Celestial Emperor at Node C, in their home turf—that is, in the Celestial Realm—is stronger than any top-tier god-level player. Of course…”

Changing the subject, Xiao Zhen continued: "A mere Immortal Emperor is only fit to mention things to you, Master..."

"Wait!" Youbai interrupted Xiaozhen with a slight nervousness and reminded her, "Boss, at node C, the Immortal Emperor is equivalent to the Immortal Law. He can detect our disrespectful remarks... no, it should be said that the Immortal Law will take the initiative to serve us and bring down heavenly punishment on those who disrespect the Immortal Emperor."

"Hmph! A mere Immortal Emperor dares to break through my information blockade?" The True Knowledge Loli said proudly, "I am my master's supreme creation! What is an Immortal Emperor compared to my master!"

"..."

Youbai waited for a while, and when she saw that nothing had happened, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Her heart almost jumped out of her chest... I'm not kidding.

However, this nerve-wracking experience made her realize that her boss... was really too outrageous!

The Immortal Emperor was once her faith.

Now... she has lost her faith.

……

About ten minutes later, Fan Xiao and the others arrived at the large teleportation array that could traverse the mortal realm and the spirit realm.

This teleportation array is primarily for the benefit of players.

Between the mortal realm and the spirit realm, there exists a barrier established by the laws of immortality, which is impossible for ordinary people to break. Those in the mortal realm who wish to travel to the spirit realm can only do so through cultivation and ascension—upon reaching the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, they will be guided to ascension by the laws of immortality.

Of course, players don't have this restriction.

After all, player participation in dungeons is the underlying rule of the evolution game and cannot be restricted—as long as players possess the Secret Realm Jade Slip, they can use the teleportation array to break through the laws of immortality and arrive at the Spirit Realm.

The so-called Secret Realm Jade Slip is actually a dungeon ticket—at node C, the ticket will automatically transform into a Secret Realm Jade Slip under the Immortal Laws.

Youbai had no intention of lingering in the mortal realm. She directly gave several secret realm jade slips belonging to the spirit realm to Fan Xiao and Jing respectively, and asked Jing, "Miss Jing, are you also going to the spirit realm?"

Jing pondered how to answer.

Fan Xiao then spoke on her behalf: "When her sister returns to Node C, she usually settles in the Spirit Realm."

Jing glanced at Fan Xiao.

Fan Xiao... he really understands her!

Youbai nodded, then said to Fan Xiao, "Boss, after we arrive at the Spirit Realm, we can continue to use the teleportation array to go to Beilin Province of the Great Xia Immortal Dynasty. The Yu family is located there, and can be considered... one of the three major families in Beilin Province."

After a pause, she organized her thoughts and reminded him, "Um... the Yu family has very strict family rules and pays great attention to etiquette. If you are visiting as the young lady's junior brother, you should be mindful of your manners. Of course, you can also visit as a super player. Etiquette doesn't apply to the strong, and you can act much more freely."

She was so excited to be going home!

But the thought of Fan Xiao going too... gave her a headache!

It's not that I'm afraid Fan Xiao will suffer a loss.

She was worried that some members of the Yu family might accidentally offend Fan Xiao...

“You can make the arrangements,” Fan Xiao said. “I’m here at the invitation of the locals to help Xiaoyu with her troubles. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Don’t worry, I will follow the rules.”

"..."

Youbai was completely uneasy.

Boss, you haven't changed how you address her as "Xiao Yu"! Where's the politeness in that?

At this moment, Fan Xiao looked at the teleportation array and suddenly asked, "Speaking of which, after we teleport there... won't we be sent straight to mining?"

"Mining?" Upon hearing this, Youbai asked curiously, "Why would you be sent to mine? Spirit mines have specialized mining personnel in charge."

Fan Xiao sighed, "And you call yourself someone from a fantasy world? You can't even understand this joke..."

He shook his head, seemingly with disdain.

Yu Bai: "???"

Chapter 823 Innocent: Daring not to ask anything, daring not to think anything

The real world is not always dramatic, and the "mining incident" that Fan Xiao was hoping to see never happened.

Those from the mortal realm who wish to enter the spirit realm can only do so by ascending—generally, those who can ascend are those with exceptional cultivation aptitude. Many powerful sects will send personnel to periodically block the ascension points to recruit talent.

One can ascend to immortality at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

However, not everyone in the Spirit Realm is at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. It's just that the cultivation environment, resources, techniques, and so on are more powerful, and the upper limit is higher.

In the Spirit Realm, someone at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm isn't considered a nobody... Calling him a big shot is a bit of an exaggeration; he'd be more like a "junior."

Players are a group with the privilege of crossing realms. They can use the Secret Realm Jade Slip to open the teleportation array and directly arrive at the Spirit Realm. Except for the Immortal Realm, which cannot be directly accessed, almost any region in the entire C node can be reached by taking the teleportation array.

The only thing to be wary of is... non-native players using teleportation arrays to swagger around the city, which could easily lead to them being killed on the spot by passing high-level native cultivators under some pretext.

Yes, this kind of thing used to happen frequently.

Now that node C is trying to become independent, this kind of thing is even more likely to happen.

There were even cases of powerful monsters committing murder and robbery at gambling stations.

After listening to Youbai's introduction, Fan Xiao asked, "Will those who are not capable of cultivating to the point of ascension choose to become players?"

"Indeed, some people will do that. Node C doesn't restrict Evolution Potions, so most people who have no hope of breaking through, or those who want to enter the Spirit Realm to obtain better cultivation conditions, will choose to become players. But..."

Youbai shook his head and said, "The player survival rate has never been very high; not everyone has that kind of courage."

"Even if one enters a secret realm with a high level of cultivation, once the secret realm is opened and disconnected from the outside world, the immortal laws of a single secret realm alone cannot support such a high level of cultivation, and it is impossible for a great cultivator to crush a small secret realm."

"The danger level of Nascent Soul cultivators venturing into E-level secret realms together with E-level players is roughly the same... No, many low-level secret realm masters will likely target Nascent Soul cultivators because they covet the wealth and resources they possess, which could potentially double the difficulty."

"even……"

After a pause, she added, "Although the C node's secret realm is also considered a dungeon, it is slightly different from the dungeons of other nodes. It has a stronger sense of daily life, and many cultivators usually reside in the dungeon. They are not dungeon creatures, but rather... passersby."

"Among these passersby, there are also those with profound cultivation. They usually do not want to see the secret realm constantly open, which would delay their cultivation."

"So they are very likely to join forces with the Lord of the Secret Realm to target players who enter the Secret Realm."

At this point, she sighed softly and said, "Cultivation has brought more benefits, but it has also brought more crises. The two are basically in balance."

"Players from outside nodes who come to node C to challenge the secret realm... lacking cultivation, they are at a disadvantage due to the lack of many methods."

"Of course, the higher the difficulty, the more the game will increase the weight of some powerful item rewards, but overall it is in a balanced state."

Fan Xiao: "..."

Okay, that makes sense.

The strategy of max-level players slaughtering newbies in dungeons is no longer viable in Node C's view.

Just then, with a loud "boom," a vortex of energy emanated from Fan Xiao's body, creating a gust of wind that ruffled the hair of Kunlun, Xiaozhen, Jingjing, and Youbai.

The wind spread outwards, stirring up dust over a range of hundreds of meters, which then flew into the distance.

The visual effects are full.

“Oh, you’ve reached the Golden Core stage,” Fan Xiao said.

Youbai: "..."

After a few seconds of silence, Youbai asked, "Boss, when did you start cultivating? You've already...combined your cultivation techniques?"

"On the way here, I managed to get a set through sheer luck. I named it 'Eight Desolations and Six Directions, I Alone Am Supreme Technique,' the kind that can be cultivated all the way to the Mahayana stage," Fan Xiao replied. "I thought Qi Refining was too slow, so I just casually added a bit to my cultivation. I didn't expect... just a casual touch and I reached the Golden Core stage."

He sighed, "This cultivation is too easy."

He really just casually improved himself, and didn't even clear his mental energy to convert luck into luck to improve himself.

Youbai: "..."

She began cultivating at the age of 8, and only entered the Core Formation stage at the age of 22... Youbai felt that her concept of cultivation had collapsed.

Is it really necessary to continue this spiritual practice?

"I was just kidding, why did you take it seriously?" Fan Xiao said.

"So it was fake after all..." Youbai breathed a sigh of relief: "But with your abilities, boss, once you have the cultivation technique, forming your core in a short time shouldn't be a problem..."
