After the perfect opening, I joined the chat group

Chapter 324, Section 333: Chat Group Upgrade - New Members, New Features

Shi Jian didn't get to see the second self-service delivery from the other side; instead, he got to see the chat group upgraded...

[Ding! Activity level has been met; the chat group is now upgrading!]

The sound reached the ears of all members of the chat group.

The chat group members immediately became lively.

[Xiao Yan: "In the blink of an eye, the chat group has been upgraded again. That's fast..."]
[Luo Feng: "There should be two new members joining the group this time. I wonder how good they are. I can't possibly be at the bottom again, can I?"]
[Fang Han: "I wonder what new features will be added after this upgrade? I'm kind of looking forward to it..."]
[Yang Qi: "I am indeed a little curious about what the new feature is..."]
[Meng Qi: "Borrowing power, logging off, multiverse dungeons—every function is ridiculously powerful... Most of the functions in this upgrade shouldn't be much weaker either..."]
[Shi Hao: "Is the chat group going to be upgraded?"]
[Li Changshou: "..."]
Everyone was talking about it.

Clearly, they are also looking forward to the upgrade of the chat group.

[Ding! Chat group upgrade complete, multi-dimensional projection function activated!]

In everyone's expectations.

Information about the new feature entered Shi Jianfanghan's mind, and both of them lit up at the same time.

This is a new feature.

How interesting!!!

[Shi Jian: "Brothers, a new feature is out! Projection of the Heavens... This new feature is somewhat similar to a martial arts arena, allowing you to battle projections of countless chosen ones from across the myriad worlds!"]
[Shi Jian: "After winning, there is a certain probability that you can obtain what these people possess..."]
[Fang Han: "This new function is indeed interesting. It's an excellent place to hone one's skills... and you can also earn some extra money on the side. Those who can condense projections are almost all chosen ones of their own world. In Shi Jian's words, they are protagonists just like us. The things on a protagonist are not ordinary..."]
[Xiao Yan: "Isn't this just a different kind of monster-slaying and leveling up?"]
[Meng Qi: "It really is about leveling up by defeating monsters..."]
[Li Changshou: "This new feature is enough to be a cheat code..."]
[Shi Jian: "Maybe it was just taken from some system by the chat group... haha!"]
[Shi Jian: "The Multiverse Projection has some specific functions, but Fang Han and I won't go into detail. We'll keep it a secret for you to experience it for yourselves..."]
[Xiao Yan: "Get out of the chat group, riddle teller..."]
[Li Changshou: "The riddle teller, get out of the chat group..."]
[Shi Jian: "..."]
A series of messages flashed by.

Shi Jian introduced the new features of the chat group to the people in the group.

Projections of the heavens.

You can fight against projections of various figures from all over the world, and after defeating them, these figures will randomly drop equipment and skills...

Shi Jian vaguely remembered reading a novel with a similar "golden finger" trope.

He seriously suspected that this feature was copied from someone's cheat code by the chat group.

After the group members learned about the function of the new feature...

They were all getting restless.

They all want to...

Fighting is fun!
[Shi Jian: "Alright, everyone can experiment with the new features on their own later. Now, let's invite new members to the group... I have four people here, one of whom is an old acquaintance!"]
While looking at the system information in front of him with a strange expression, Shi Jian spoke in the group.

There is no other reason.

Information about his new members this time...

We've stirred up trouble.

[Administrator Shi Jian is recruiting new members]
[New member information detected. Please make a selection, administrator.]

[Xu Que]
[Chen Beixuan]

[Zhang Xuan]
[Li Qiye]

Four group members to choose from appear before your eyes.

Shi Jian was completely dumbfounded when he saw these four names...

Well, they've got all four of his most notorious "cool guys" all in one go.

Nan Qiye, Xi Zhangxuan, Dongbei Xuan, Bei Xuque...

These four are all very prominent figures.

Xu Que, needless to say, had appeared in the previous options.

The remaining three.

They were all incredibly arrogant, each one more boastful than the last.

[Shi Jian: "The four new members I can recruit are Xu Que, Chen Beixuan, Zhang Xuan, and Li Qiye. Xu Que has appeared before; he's a cheat who gets stronger by showing off and getting slapped in the face... The other guys are no less capable than Xu Que..."]
[Li Changshou: "Goodness, you've gathered all four kings of coolness..."]
[Xiao Yan: "What Four Kings of Cool?"]
[Li Changshou: "These are the four people mentioned above. They are known as the Four Kings of Pretentiousness in the online novel world: Nan Qiye, Xi Zhangxuan, Dongbei Xuan, and Bei Xuque. There are countless pretentious characters, but these four have been hailed as the Four Kings of Pretentiousness by countless readers. You can imagine how strong their pretentiousness skills are..."]
[Fang Han: "...How much free time do you Earth readers have?"]
[Yang Qi: "666"]
[Xiao Yan: "Did I wear this too early again? I've never heard of this name before. What have these guys done to be called the Four Kings of Cool?"]
[Shi Jian: "...I won't say much about Xu Que. This cheat-like player, coupled with his extraordinary talent... can only be described as incredibly arrogant!"]
[Shi Jian: "Let me introduce the other three to you. Among them, the strongest should be Li Qiye, whose story is called Emperor Overlord..."]
[Shi Jian: "Li Qiye was originally a shepherd boy, but by chance, he was transformed into an immortal raven. In the endless years, he refused to be controlled by time, and then plotted in various great eras... Definitely an invincible protagonist!"]
[Shi Jian: "You can understand why this guy is called the King of Pretentiousness by looking at the definition in this book..."]
[Shi Jian: "The definition of this book is as follows:]
Tens of millions of years ago, Li Qiye planted a bamboo.

Five million years ago, Li Qiye adopted a little girl and raised a carp.

Today, when Li Qiye woke up, the green bamboo had cultivated into a deity, the carp had transformed into a golden dragon, and the little girl had become the Empress of the Nine Realms.
[Xiao Yan: "Damn, this introduction is really awesome, it exudes the aura of a powerful figure..."]
[Fang Han: "The starting point is tens of millions of years? Interesting..."]
[Lin Dong: "So that's how you write a bio? I've learned something new!"]
Everyone in the group said they had learned something.

Just looking at this introduction...

They could already feel the aura of a powerful figure approaching them.

This introduction couldn't compare to the imposing tone of Fang Han and Yang Qi's slogans.

But it has a subtle air of sophistication.

There's a sense of returning to simplicity in it...

Upon hearing this introduction...

They sensed that Li Qiye was exceptionally strong.

Lin Dong's eyes lit up as he listened.

This introduction is truly refreshing.

Now, it's become a brief introduction to his Martial Ancestor's Biography...

[Shi Jian: "There are many realms in this world, and the world level is very high. However, I haven't seen it all. I've only seen a small part of the beginning. I don't know much about the specifics of this world. I wonder if Changshou has seen it?"]
[Li Changshou: "What a coincidence, I've only read a little bit of it too. After all, this book... those who know, know. When I transmigrated, it wasn't finished yet!"]
[Li Changshou: "I only know that there are at least hundreds of realms inside, and then they keep nesting. Li Qiye's cultivation is even more extreme. He pursues the ultimate perfection in every realm... He has to sever his path and start over as soon as he has a little enlightenment. His strength is like Schrödinger's cat. You can say he's invincible, but he might have only just entered the first realm of cultivation. You can say he's weak, but even a Great Emperor could kill him!"]
[Li Changshou: "Anyway, this guy usually does two things: show off and look for sheep!"]
[Xiao Yan: "Looking for sheep? What do you mean?"]
[Li Changshou: "Before this guy became immortal as a Dark Raven, he was a shepherd boy. After becoming a Dark Raven, he lost his sheep, so he has been searching for his sheep for tens of millions of years... The Emperor's Domination is also jokingly called The Shepherd Boy Searching for His Sheep..."]
[Xiao Yan: "6"]
[Meng Qi: "666"]
[Luo Feng: "66666"]
[Shi Jian: "..."]
After thinking for a while, Shi Jian made a summary.

[Shi Jian: "In short, the prospects for this world are still good. Li Qiye... is also quite good, it's just that he's lived a bit too long and has a bit of an old-fashioned air about him!"]
[Xiao Yan: "What the hell is this old-fashioned smell..."]
[Li Changshou: "Haha, Li Qiye's character is alright, it's just that his aura of mockery is a bit too strong. A peerless expert, he'll be looked down upon wherever he goes..."]
[Shih Kien: "He's also an expert at playing dumb to fool others."]
After Shi Jian and Li Changshou's introduction, the people in the group had a general understanding of Li Qiye and his world.

Although this understanding is not very clear.

After introducing Li Qiye.

Shi Jian then began introducing the other people.

[Shi Jian: "Li Qiye is the strongest, and correspondingly, Chen Beixuan should be the weakest among these people!"]
[Shi Jian: "This person's worldview is somewhat similar to Luo Feng's, following the 'Starry Sky' theme, but his cultivation system is the traditional immortal cultivation system!"]
[Shi Jian: "It's still the same old template, starting on Earth, then conquering the stars and the universe!"]
[Shi Jian: "The cultivation realms are the traditional immortal cultivation system: Qi Refining, Innate, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Deity Transformation, Returning to Emptiness, Dao Integration, Tribulation Transcending..."]
[Shi Jian: "However, these realms are slightly stronger than those in the traditional cultivation system..."]
[Shi Jian: "The Qi Refining realm alone is divided into the Foundation Establishment Realm, the Profound Realm, the Divine Sea Realm..."]

The Foundation Establishment Realm is the entry-level realm for cultivators. After achieving this, one's every move possesses the strength of a thousand pounds, and one is as fast as a galloping horse, transcending the limits of the human body and transforming into a non-human being. Furthermore, one's body condenses true essence, allowing one to draw talismans and cast minor spells.

The Profound Realm and the Divine Sea Realm are collectively known as the Realms of Supernatural Powers. Those who cultivate to this realm possess supernatural powers and can summon wind and rain, turn beans into soldiers, and appear like immortals in the eyes of mortals.

It will also give rise to all sorts of supernatural abilities, such as being able to walk on fire without being burned, walking on water, and telepathy!
[Shi Jian: "At the Innate Realm, a life core will condense, which will contain more than half of the essence of the body. Only by destroying this core can one be considered to have truly killed an Innate Being. The Golden Core cultivator will then be called a True Monarch, with a lifespan of two thousand years, an immortal divine body, an indestructible core, and an eternal divine soul..."]
[Shi Jian: "A Nascent Soul cultivator can manipulate space with their own power; slaughtering a city and destroying a country is no problem for them."]
[Shi Jian: "The Nascent Soul and Primordial Spirit reside in the void, claiming to be indestructible. They can manifest in countless forms, be reborn from a drop of blood, discard spirit stones, absorb higher-level energy, create a world of life, and traverse the cosmos."]
[Shi Jian: "The subsequent Void Returning and Dao Integration Tribulation Realm cultivators are all stronger than the last. The Dao Integration Realm possesses a lifespan of millions of years, and shattering stars with a single blow, swallowing the sun, and creating void worlds are all commonplace for them. The Tribulation Realm is also known as the Immortal Venerable. Chen Beixuan, also known as Chen Fan, is an Immortal Venerable reincarnated on Earth, and then cultivated his way to ascension from Earth!"]
[Shi Jian: "The cultivation system in this world is considered quite powerful among the many cultivation systems in the myriad worlds. Moreover, after transcending tribulation, one can ascend to the Immortal Realm. Including the Immortal Realm of that world, the upper limit of the world's development is also very high... However, the original work did not mention what the situation of the Immortal Realm is!"]
[Li Changshou: "Why should I, Chen Beixuan, explain my actions to others... If I remember correctly, this book seems to have an unfinished ending?"]
[Shi Jian: "What do you mean by 'bad ending'? This is because I, the Northern Mystic Immortal Venerable, discovered that someone was spying on my life, and then severely punished the author..."]
[Xiao Yan: "..."]
[Lin Dong: "I feel he's a bit inferior to Li Qiye... He shouldn't be called one of the Four Kings of Cool, right?"]
[Shi Jian: "This needs to be examined in detail. Chen Beixuan's understanding of the Way of Manifestation has truly reached a state of perfection; he's very skilled at stirring up emotions..."]
[Li Changshou: "How dare you! You actually question me, the Northern Profound Immortal Venerable? Why should I, the Northern Profound Immortal Venerable, need to explain my actions to others throughout my life?"]
[Fang Han: "Six"]
[Xiao Yan: "My mouth is numb from saying 'six' so many times today..."]
[Shi Jian: "Alright, let me tell you about the last person too. Zhang Xuan, from the Heavenly Dao Library... This guy is also a cheater, and he even ran into me!"]
[Shi Jian: "This guy's cheat ability is also the library. He's going for the education genre. In his world, there's a special profession called Master Teacher, which, as the name suggests, is a teacher who specializes in teaching cultivation!"]
[Shi Jian: "Master teachers are all people who have special insights into cultivation. They can correctly guide others in their cultivation, enabling them to avoid detours and make rapid progress in their cultivation..."]
[Shi Jian: "Zhang Xuan's Heavenly Dao Library can detect information related to cultivation and point out the correct path of cultivation. With this cheat, Zhang Xuan has made rapid progress, becoming proficient in everything!"]
[Shi Jian: "This guy is a nine-star master teacher, a nine-star alchemist, a nine-star weapon refiner, a nine-star beast tamer, a nine-star array master, a nine-star physician, a nine-star poison master, a nine-star calligrapher and painter, a nine-star master of soaring geese, a nine-star master of demonic sound, a nine-star appraiser, a nine-star master craftsman, a nine-star spirit awakener, a nine-star soul master... He also concurrently serves as the president of the Suspended Society, the dean of Hongyuan Academy, the hall master of the Holy Son Hall, the head of the Zhang family, the head of the Luo family, the head of the Jiang family, the president of the Soul Master Guild, the acting hall master of the Master Teacher Hall, the sect master of Lingyun Sword Pavilion, the sect master of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, the sect master of the Seven Star Tower, the sect master of the Chasing Star Palace, and a nine-heaven titled God King..."]
[Shi Jian: "Qin Mu, one of the candidates who joined the group last time, already possessed a lot of skills, but Zhang Xuan is even more exaggerated... Heavenly Dao Techniques, Heavenly Dao Disguise, Heavenly Dao Poison Techniques, Heavenly Dao Sword Techniques, Heavenly Dao Knife Techniques, Heavenly Dao Spear Techniques, Heavenly Dao Hammer Techniques, Heavenly Dao Fist Techniques, Heavenly Dao Palm Techniques, Heavenly Dao Leg Techniques, Heavenly Dao Body Techniques, Heavenly Dao Golden Body, Red Dust Sky-Treading Steps, Evolutionary Heavenly Book, Boundless Traveler, Great Compassion Heavenly Demon Palm, Sealing Saint Unlocking, Heavenly Dao Medical Techniques, Heavenly Dao Alchemy Techniques, Heavenly Dao Weapon Forging Techniques, Heavenly Dao Painting Techniques, Heavenly Dao Tea Techniques, Heavenly Dao Soaring Swan Techniques, Heavenly Dao Demonic Sound Techniques, Heavenly Dao Beast Taming Techniques, Heavenly Dao Spirit Awakening Techniques, Heavenly Dao Formations, Heavenly Dao Witch Soul Techniques..."]
[Xiao Yan: "Hiss... So many people have joined the group, can it even hold them all?"]
