Building a sect from scratch.

Chapter 185 Network Fluctuations
Please note that an unknown target has requested to log in to the cross-border network.

Please note that an unknown user is browsing the cross-platform network as a guest.

Two messages in a row startled Fang Xianyu, who was tracking the players, and he instantly snapped back to his body.

Since Fang Xianyu designed the system to be in the Blue Star Network mode for easy connection, he has been able to handle all kinds of problems with ease. However, this situation of being touched by an unknown target while in cross-border networking is a first!
It's important to know that this cross-dimensional network is maintained by her relying on the system's energy. In other words, it is the foundation that gives Fang Xianyu the confidence to make a big splash in the Guixu Realm!

And those who can truly come into contact with the existence of the system—at least in the Guixu Realm, whether in the previous cycle or this cycle that has been restarted—have never been seen!

Don't even think about it!
But it actually happened!
In his immense shock, Fang Xianyu even forgot his panic!
After the initial shock, she frantically mobilized system energy points, attempting to prevent the "unknown target" from accessing the cross-border network.

Fortunately, this method worked, and the mysterious "unknown target" was added to her "blacklist," blocking it from cross-border networking.

Only then did Fang Xianyu feel a lingering fear rise from the bottom of her heart.

However, she quickly realized that what the "unknown target" touched was not the system, but a channel that could connect the Blue Star world and the cultivation world, which was "converted" from the system's energy points. The two were fundamentally different.

The system is unique to Fang Xianyu, and currently, only Fang Xianyu can control it. The things transformed from the system's energy points, however, have already separated from the system's existence. Whether they are physical objects or intangible interdimensional networks, they are independent of the system—although the current interdimensional network still needs the system to maintain it through energy points, it is essentially a different entity compared to the system.

Thank goodness, I was almost scared to death.

Fang Xianyu silently comforted herself and breathed a sigh of relief.

But then she started to worry—if this so-called "unknown target" could access the cross-border network, did that mean it could climb up to Earth via the network cable?

This is a very serious problem!
With that in mind, she immediately began to investigate what this so-called "unknown target" actually was.

"An energy entity!?"

"An energy entity that can freely travel anywhere as long as it possesses spiritual energy!?"

With the help of the system's analysis, Fang Xianyu was once again shocked and muttered to himself.

She had never heard of such a thing before!

No wonder they were able to get involved on cross-border networks!
If the network of the Blue Star world relies on the transmission of light signals, then the "network" of the Guixu Realm relies on the transmission of system energy through "spiritual energy".

After all, there is no fiber optic in the world of cultivation. If you want to connect a huge network system and put it into use on the puppet "terminal", spiritual energy is the most convenient medium.

Therefore, the "network" of the Guixu Realm that Fang Xianyu created is actually based on spiritual energy—as long as there is spiritual energy, it can be connected!
What if there's no spiritual energy?

Let's disconnect from the internet!
On Earth, this would roughly translate to players being forced to quit the game and receiving a message saying "Network instability, please reconnect later."

Of course, at present, there doesn't seem to be a place in the Guixu Realm that is completely devoid of spiritual energy, so there naturally won't be a situation where the internet is completely cut off.

"No! It's not about just moving around at will!"

This completely unfamiliar thing left Fang Xianyu utterly bewildered. She paced back and forth in the room, muttering to herself, "More like 'reading'? Reading any 'information' that relies on spiritual energy? What the hell is this? Omniscient and omnipotent? Is this some kind of Cthulhu phenomenon?!"

After hesitating for a while, Fang Xianyu suddenly had a flash of inspiration—

'Query this [unknown target]!'

She clearly has a system; she could just use her energy points to check!
Surely the system can't find it either!

Fortunately, such worries were unnecessary, and the system quickly provided an answer.

Search for [Unknown Target] —

[Searched]

[Unknown Target]: [The spirit of the divine mirror forged by Jun Chou, an ancient divine artifact, knows everything about the Realm of Return to Nothingness]

"Jun Chou?" Fang Xianyu was stunned for a moment.

Jun Chou is one of the ancient gods whose birth date is unknown. Legend has it that he was active slightly later than the time when Nuwa set up the Five-Colored Array. He once taught humankind the technique of weapon forging, which led to the cultivation method of weapon forging. The Taiyi Heavenly Mystery Sect still regards him as their "founding father" to this day, but this "founding father" has long since disappeared without a trace.

It turns out to be a magical artifact forged by an ancient god; no wonder it has such amazing power!
Fang Xianyu completely relaxed.

The magical artifacts forged by the ancient gods had long been lost; at least in both the previous and current playthroughs, this was the first time she had ever heard of them.

However, once we get our hands on such a good thing, will it completely enrich the sect's library?
Thinking this, Fang Xianyu hurriedly brought up the system and prepared to temporarily add a task called "Finding the Ancient Mirror of Junchou" to exploit the information gap and let the players help find the whereabouts of this ancient divine artifact.

No sooner had the name "Jun Chou" been entered into the system than it suddenly triggered a conversation between several players—

"May I ask your name, senior?"

"Jun Chou,"

"My name is Junchou."

"Mist grass!"

Fang Xianyu excitedly let out a sound influenced by the other players, then immediately switched to the perspective of the player who mentioned "Jun Chou" the most, and began to openly spy on them—

"Senior Junchou, why have you suddenly stopped talking?"

Fang Xianyu heard the protagonist from the perspective she was spying on asking a question.

Junchou replied, "It's a pity. I'm afraid I won't be able to learn the language of flowers for the time being. At least... well, at least one or two days will be needed for me to perfect the logic of this language and thus learn it."

Bai Chenxue, who was standing to the side, was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Huh? Why?"

Junchou said, "I could have learned this language online, but now I can't get online, ah, that's how I should say it?"

Bai Chenxue's pupils dilated in shock: "Huh!? You can still access the internet!? Which internet? Our Blue Star's internet!? Aren't you an AI!?"

"Heh, so that's how you view the Void Realm... Interesting,"

Jun Chou was smiling when he turned to look at Shen Yun. Suddenly, his smile froze. Then, pretending to be nonchalant, he continued, "In a sense, I am indeed an AI, but a special kind of AI, capable of independent thinking and autonomous behavior."

Bai Chenxue exclaimed exaggeratedly, "My God! I told you 'Ten Continents Chronicles' was amazing! The AI ​​technology in this game is simply outrageous! I think it's at least several years ahead of the rest of the world!"

Shen Yun said confidently, "Be confident. I think it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that we're decades ahead."

The words had barely left their mouths when suddenly everything went black before their eyes—

[Network instability...]

Two seconds later, the three people's vision returned to normal, as if the moment just now was just an illusion.

Bai Chenxue asked blankly, "What happened?!"

Lin Muning also looked completely bewildered: "It seems like the internet connection lagged for a bit!"

Shen Yun added, "I also got stuck for a moment."

Lin Muning muttered to herself, "How strange!"

Bai Chenxue didn't seem to care much. She waved her hand dismissively and said, "The lousy planner is probably having barbecue in the server room again!"
