This is a cultivation game, but the operation is bad

For so long, his goal had been to make money, to the point that he forgot about his cultivation progress.

Only today did he realize that he had actually reached the Great Perfection of the Divine Transformation Realm!

Once the breakthrough conditions are met, you can break through to the Fusion stage!
Come, let me see what the conditions are for breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage!
Jiang Liu opened the character panel and clicked on the flashing realm bar.

[Breakthrough Requirements from the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Stage to the Early Stage of the Body Integration Stage]

[PVP: Go to the Central Continent Cultivator Arena and complete 10 placement matches. You need to achieve a winning streak, and all opponents must be at least at the late Nascent Soul stage (Current progress: 0/10)]

[PVE: Unlock the hidden map - Myriad Demon Realm, clear the core area of ​​the realm - Demon Emperor's Nest, and successfully defeat the realm boss - Golden-haired Roaring Demon Emperor (Current progress: 0/1)]

[Cumulative Consumption: Accumulate 1 million to 100 million spirit stones in the game to unlock the essential breakthrough item - Fusion Origin Liquid (the more spirit stones you consume, the higher the quality of the Fusion Origin Liquid).
[Materials: Collect all four core breakthrough materials: Demon Realm Black Crystal x1, Demon Emperor Inner Core x1, Spirit Rhinoceros Herb x1, and Immortal Source Jade Marrow x1 (These materials are obtained in the Myriad Demon Realm; the higher the level of the Myriad Demon Realm, the higher the quality of the materials obtained)]

Jiang Liu: “.”

These four conditions for breaking through are not difficult, but they are a bit funny that they even came up with a placement match.

Play 10 matches in the Central Continent Arena, and the opponents must be at least at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
Holy crap, are there 10 players in the late-stage Nascent Soul realm in Zhongzhou?
No!
"Could it be that we're fighting NPCs?"

Jiang Liu muttered to himself, "If it were a player, I really wouldn't be able to break through in a short time. After all, there aren't even 10 players in the entire server who have reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm."

But if you're fighting NPCs, then there's no problem.

The remaining three tasks were even simpler; he felt he could break through to the Fusion Stage today.

Thinking it over, Jiang Liu clicked on the teleport option next to the PVP conditions.

[Spend 10 spirit stones to teleport directly to the Central Continent Arena?]

Damn, they charge for this too!

【Yes】

[You have been teleported to Taiyi Immortal City - Zhongzhou Arena]

Damn it, this arena is in Taiyi Immortal City! What's the point of me spending money to teleport there?

next second.

Before him stood a building resembling the Roman Colosseum, with the registration area at its entrance.

Jiang Liu walked to the arena registration area and said to the NPC receptionist, "I want to register for a ranking match. My goal is to win ten consecutive matches. My opponents must be at least at the late Nascent Soul stage."

The receptionist NPC glanced at Jiang Liu, sensing the aura of a Great Perfection Nascent Soul cultivator emanating from him. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she nodded in response, "You've been registered. Ranking matches are randomly matched, and consecutive wins are counted. If you lose a match, the count will reset. Would you like to start the match now?"

"Turn on."

Jiang Liu nodded in agreement, and the next second his figure was enveloped in a white light, directly teleporting him into the arena's battle stage.

The battle arena was a stone platform about a thousand feet square, surrounded by a pale blue light screen. Outside the light screen, a crowd of NPCs gathered to watch, and a murmur of discussion arose as soon as Jiang Liu appeared.

"Another Nascent Soul Grand Perfection cultivator? Why are there so many people breaking through to the Grand Perfection stage lately?"

"He looks unfamiliar, so he must have just been promoted. I wonder how strong he is. This time, his opponent is the 'Sword Master of Rending Wind,' who is quite famous in our Central Continent. He is at the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage and is good at speed-type swordsmanship. He has defeated many Great Perfection cultivators."

"I bet on Riftwind Sword Master to win. This newcomer looks too young; his actual combat ability is definitely lacking."

Amidst the discussions, Jiang Liu's opponent made his appearance. He was a cultivator dressed in a green robe, with a slender longsword at his waist. His aura was refined, and he was indeed at the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage. He was the Riftwind Sword Master mentioned by the other NPCs.

These NPCs must have nothing better to do than watch others fight in the arena all day long.

Is it interesting to watch other people fight?

That might actually be interesting.

As soon as he landed, he sharply sized up Jiang Liu and said with a hint of arrogance, "Newcomer? I advise you to admit defeat now, lest you lose too badly later. My Rift Wind Sword Technique is not so easy to withstand."

Jiang Liu smiled faintly upon hearing this, and without saying a word, he simply raised his hand and grasped the hilt of the immortal sword behind him, saying calmly, "Enough with the nonsense, let's begin."

Seeing that Jiang Liu dared to ignore his warning, the Sword Master of Rending Wind's face darkened, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes. He raised his hand, drew his long sword from his waist, and his figure suddenly transformed into a green shadow, shooting towards Jiang Liu.

The blade sliced ​​through the air with a sharp whistling sound, its surface imbued with fierce wind-attribute spiritual energy, clearly indicating that the sword hadn't held back from the start.

"Well done!"

The NPCs watching were all amazed, and many were ready to cheer for the Sword Master of Rending Wind.

But the next second, everyone stopped talking and their expressions froze.

Faced with the swift attack of the Rending Wind Sword Master, Jiang Liu remained standing still until the very moment the blade was about to reach him. Only then did he slowly draw his immortal sword and casually swing it.

"Soaring Nine Heavens Sword Technique!"

A crisp sword cry resounded throughout the entire battle arena, and a dazzling golden sword aura suddenly burst forth, slashing straight towards the Riftwind Sword Master!

The golden sword energy appeared ordinary, yet it carried an unparalleled power. Wherever it passed, the air was torn apart. The wind-attribute sword energy of the Rending Wind Sword Master was instantly shattered, without even a trace of resistance.

"what?!"

The Sword Master of Rending Wind's pupils shrank, his face filled with disbelief. He tried to dodge but found that his body was already locked by the sword energy and he could not move at all. He could only watch helplessly as the golden sword energy landed on him.

boom!
With a loud bang, the figure of the Rending Wind Sword Master was directly blasted away by the sword energy, crashing heavily into the light screen behind him. His health was instantly reduced to zero, and he was teleported out of the battle stage as a white light.

You have defeated the NPC—Sword Master Riftwind.

You have won.

[Central Plains PVP Reputation +100]

You have completed your first battle in the Central Plains PVP arena.

You have earned the title—A meteoric rise to fame.

[PVP Breakthrough Progress 1/10]

The entire arena fell into a deathly silence. Everyone stared wide-eyed at Jiang Liu on the battle stage, their faces blank. The scene just now happened too fast, so fast that they didn't even have time to react. The late-stage peak Nascent Soul Sword Master, Riftwind Sword Master, was actually killed in one move.
Jiang Liu sheathed his sword, his expression calm, as if he had just done something insignificant.

With a low-grade immortal sword in hand and the Nine Heavens Sword Technique, he could easily defeat an NPC at the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage with a single move.

Before the onlookers could even process what was happening, a system notification sounded, and the opponent for the second match was teleported in.

This time, the opponent is a cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, dressed in a gray robe with a string of ancient Buddhist beads hanging at his waist. His aura is much stronger than that of the Riftwind Sword Venerable, and his aura is calm and heavy. He is obviously a veteran NPC with rich combat experience, known as the "Vajra Venerable".

He is skilled in defensive techniques, and his Vajra Shield is a supreme defensive treasure, having withstood the combined attacks of several Nascent Soul cultivators at the Great Perfection stage.

"Liefeng was careless just now, but I won't give you another chance this time!"

As soon as the Vajra Venerable appeared, he immediately summoned a giant shield that was entirely black. The surface of the shield was engraved with intricate golden runes. The moment spiritual energy was injected, the runes lit up, and a thick golden defensive barrier enveloped his entire body.

His spiritual energy surged, and he charged towards Jiang Liu. The giant shield, carrying immense power, caused the entire battle arena to tremble slightly upon landing. Clearly, he intended to break the deadlock with brute force and suppress Jiang Liu with absolute defense!
"Soaring to the Ninth Heaven!"

You killed Vajra Master.

[You have won] [Central Plains PVP Reputation +100]

[Continue?]

【Yes】

The system notification sounded again, and the opponent for the third battle quickly appeared. He was a cultivator dressed in a red robe, with a withered face, holding a peach wood sword in his hand. He was surrounded by dense fiery spiritual power, and a wave of heat swept over you. His cultivation level was at the peak of the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

This person is the famous Taoist Master Chiyan from Zhongzhou. He is skilled in fire-attribute magic and controls extremely hot Netherworld Fire that can burn a cultivator's spiritual power and soul, making him incredibly difficult to deal with.

"Kid, you've got some skills, but you're doomed to lose to me!"

Master Chiyan's eyes were sinister, and the moment his words fell, his sword arrived!
"Stop your nonsense, Lingxiao Nine Heavens!"

You have killed Master Crimson Flame.

The fourth match.

"Young man, you have some skills, but not many."

"Soaring to the Ninth Heaven!"

You killed.

Game 5.

"State your name, for I do not kill nameless nobodies!"

"Ling Xiao!"

You killed.

The sixth match.

"I have to admit"

"Ling Xiao!"

You killed.

The seventh match, the eighth match, the ninth match, the tenth match!
Ten consecutive wins in placement matches!

In just half an hour, Jiang Liu won ten battles in a row, each one clean and decisive, all of them ending in a single move!

No one could withstand even one move from him!
The NPCs outside the light screen had long since gone from initial skepticism to fervent admiration, with cheers and applause rising and falling. Many even began calling out Jiang Liu's name, trying to inquire about his identity and cultivation techniques.

[Congratulations on completing the PVP breakthrough requirement: 10 consecutive wins against cultivators at the late Nascent Soul stage or above. Breakthrough progress +1 (Current progress: 1/4)]

The moment the system notification sound ended, Jiang Liu breathed a sigh of relief. The PVP conditions were finally met, and the process went even more smoothly than he had expected.

He sheathed his sword, ignored the fervent cheers of the NPCs outside the light screen, and teleported directly out of the arena.

After leaving the arena, he reopened his character panel and clicked on the teleport option next to the PVE breakthrough conditions.

[Spend 100 million spirit stones to unlock the Myriad Demon Realm (Easy)?]

[Spend 1000 million spirit stones to unlock the Myriad Demon Realm (Hard)?]

[Spend 1 million spirit stones to unlock the Myriad Demon Realm (Hell)?]

Jiang Liu: “.”

He grinned. The second and third breakthrough conditions were met at the same time. The system is amazing!
You have unlocked the Myriad Demon Realm (Hell)

He directly paid 100 million spirit stones to unlock the hellish level of the Myriad Demon Secret Realm, and the system also popped up a related introduction to the Myriad Demon Secret Realm.

【Ten Thousand Demons Secret Realm: A hidden high-level map containing numerous high-level demon cultivators. The core area of ​​the secret realm is the Demon Emperor's Nest, and the lord is the Golden-Haired Roaring Demon Emperor (peak of the Great Perfection of the Integration Realm). Defeating him will drop a large amount of immortal materials, spirit stones, and high-level equipment. You can enter once a day.】

After unlocking, Jiang Liu directly entered the Myriad Demon Realm via the world map.

As soon as they landed, a strong demonic aura rushed towards them. Ancient trees towered in the secret realm, vines entwined around them, and a faint smell of blood permeated the air, indicating that cultivators or demon cultivators often fought here.

The demon cultivators in the secret realm were at least at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and those at the late stage were everywhere. Jiang Liu wasted no time and directly summoned his immortal sword, heading towards the depths of the secret realm.

He unleashed a series of sword strikes from the Nine Heavens of Soaring Clouds, his golden sword energy sweeping across the land. Countless demon cultivators were instantly killed, and the spirit stones and low-grade materials that fell piled up like mountains. With a casual wave of his hand, he collected them all into his backpack.

With his current strength, the ordinary demon cultivators in the secret realm were no match for him. He swept through the demon cultivators, and no one could stop him. In just one hour, he reached the entrance to the core area of ​​the secret realm.

The entrance was a huge cave, its opening covered with hideous claw marks. A dense demonic aura gushed out from the cave, sending chills down one's spine. Clearly, the Demon King's lair was inside.

Jiang Liu took a deep breath and walked straight into the cave.

The cave was extremely spacious, with the ground covered with thick animal bones. In the center, a huge monster was coiled up. The monster had golden fur all over its body, a body like a lion, but a human face, bloodshot eyes, and its aura was extremely condensed.

The Golden-Haired Roaring Demon King sensed someone intruding and suddenly opened its eyes. Its crimson gaze locked onto Jiang Liu, and it let out a deafening roar. Its demonic energy surged wildly, transforming into black waves that swept towards Jiang Liu.

"Human cultivators, how dare you trespass into my lair! You're courting death!"

The Golden-Haired Demon King roared and suddenly pounced on Jiang Liu. Its huge claws, carrying immense power, slammed towards Jiang Liu with a fierce claw wind that seemed capable of tearing everything apart.

Jiang Liu's eyes sharpened, showing no fear. Holding the immortal sword, he unleashed his spiritual energy, slashing out with his first strike. The golden sword energy collided with the black air wave, creating a tremendous roar, and the air wave was instantly shattered.

"Soaring to the Ninth Heaven!"

Immediately afterwards, the second and third sword strikes were unleashed in succession, each golden sword aura sharper than the last, relentlessly attacking the Golden-haired Roaring Demon Emperor!

"Damn it! I'm going to kill you!"

A glint of madness flashed in the eyes of the Golden-Haired Roaring Demon King. His demonic energy surged, his body suddenly grew larger, and a huge demonic energy shield condensed around him. At the same time, he opened his mouth and spewed out a black demonic fire, burning towards Jiang Liu.

"As expected of the hellish difficulty level that costs 1 million spirit stones, this boss is incredibly tanky!"

Jiang Liu was slightly surprised, but his sword kept moving. He unleashed the eighth and ninth sword strikes in succession, and the two dazzling golden sword energies combined to reach their peak power!
You have killed the Golden-haired Roaring Demon King.

[Congratulations on completing the PVE breakthrough requirement! You have cleared the Demon Emperor's Nest, the core area of ​​the Myriad Demon Realm. Breakthrough progress +1 (Current progress: 3/4)]

You have obtained 1 Demonic Black Crystal (Immortal Rank) and 1 Spiritual Herb (Immortal Rank)

"Only two breakthrough materials."

Jiang Liu pursed his lips. He had to refresh it again. What a hassle.

[Enter the Myriad Demon Realm (Hell)?]

【Yes】

After half an hour.

"Human cultivators, how dare you trespass into my lair! You're courting death!"

[You have killed the Golden-haired Roaring Demon King] (End of Chapter)
