Cultivation of Immortality: This is what unorthodox methods are like.

Ying Jiaren was bewildered and didn't understand.

However, she did not continue to ask questions, but instead curiously inquired about the hidden information in the [Third Grade Dao Seal].

That message will only appear after the second level of the interior is opened.

She has now reached the [Third Grade Dao Seal] level and also wants to know the hidden information in advance.

Upon hearing this message, Wang Quan sighed, "The message said, 'My access to the second-level interior area has been increased by 1.'"

Ying Jiaren looked bewildered: "What strange information."

"It seems this second layer of inner realm and its so-called privileges are truly interesting, requiring a special blessing from a [Third-Rank Dao Seal]."

"Unfortunately, I'll have to wait a few more years to see it."

Wang Quan laughed: "Ten years is just a short time, it'll pass quickly!"

Ying Jiaren sighed, "If you leave, it will be a long time before I can save up enough money to build my foundation!"

Wang Quan shook his head: "It's nothing."

"Before I leave, I'll give you some foundation-building inspiration."

Ying Jiaren paused for a moment, then suddenly realized: "That's right, you've cleansed more evil than I have."

"They produce more Foundation Establishment Aura Light each year than I do."

"A mere wisp of Foundation Establishment spiritual light can generate billions of dollars!"

Wang Quan nodded: "So, you don't need to worry too much!"

Ying Jiaren nodded: "Mm!"

"Let's hurry up and increase the number of Taoist scriptures."

Wang Quan hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay!"

"Also, bring your primordial spirit over here."

"Now that you're producing Foundation Establishment spiritual energy, you can sell it for money, so your primordial spirit doesn't need to do all the hard work anymore!"

Wang Quan muttered, "Call it over here, let it do the hard labor too!"

Ying Jiaren rolled her eyes at him.

Perhaps realizing that they were about to part ways, Ying Jiaren grabbed Wang Quan and forced herself to cultivate the art of being a poppy for a whole month.

When she came out of the library, she was still clutching her waist and limping.

On the contrary, Wang Quan was refreshed and in high spirits.

"Fortunately, my fundamental law is special, requiring me to preserve my primordial yin!"

"Otherwise, wouldn't he torment us to death?"

"The mysteries of Foundation Establishment are far more complex than he described: lightning, ice, fire, and accelerated winds—these seemingly insignificant characteristics were enough to nearly kill me."

"However, one day I will take my revenge on him."

Ying Jiaren limped to her dormitory to recuperate.

Wang Quan took a stroll outside and eventually went to the nameless lake.

The lake water here is crystal clear, just like in the real world, and even the fish swimming in it are exactly the same.

He took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and after withdrawing his Yang spirit back to his inner realm, he silently recited Taoist incantations.

After reciting dozens of Taoist incantations, all his thoughts entered his Yang spirit.

Then, the space around Yang Shen collapsed, transforming into 108 streams of malevolent energy that plunged into the center of the collapsed space.

In the next instant, the space shifted, and he found himself in a hazy, gray space:

This space is indistinguishable in terms of east, west, south, and north; it is only divided into up and down.

Numerous malevolent energies and spiritual lights naturally transformed into the form of a Yang spirit.

Whoosh!

The golden light emanating from the Yang God gathered at his feet, forming a white jade stone about one foot in diameter.

The white jade stone rotated, separating him from the hazy gray space.

At this moment, new information appeared in the [Third-Rank Daoist Seal]:

Upon first entering the second level of the inner realm, access is 0: speech is disabled, and communication with other Daoist cultivators is prohibited; an event occurs every three years.

—You can view information about the inner landscape and complete events through the [Daoist Seal] to upgrade your privileges!

Wang Quan's expression was strange.

He felt a strong sense of familiarity with this thing, as if it were something from his previous life.

At this moment, the Daoist script information reappeared:

[When you first set foot in the second level of the inner landscape, you possess a [Rank 3 Dao Seal] – Permission +1.]

[Level 1 Permissions - 1: Ten sentences per day; 2: One event per year.]

Wang Quan was stunned.

Good grief, there are restrictions on what you can say?

Also, what does "an event once a year" mean? With level zero privileges, it's an event every three years.

Just one level of privilege, and the improvement is this big?

Before he could examine it closely, the Daoist script information refreshed again:

[Gained [Rank 3 Daoist Seal] permission +1.]

Current Permissions: Level 2

[Level 2 Permissions: 1. Twenty daily quotes; 2. Two events per year; 3. Underworld protection.]

Wang Quan seemed to be deep in thought:

He understands the first two permissions.

However, the third underworld protection seems a bit strange.

"How do the second level of the inner realm and the [Daoist script] have anything to do with the Underworld?"

He was suspicious and puzzled, then looked for more details.

【Blessing from the Underworld】- 1: You are qualified to eat at the feast in the Underworld. 2: The creatures of the Underworld do not treat you as a human being.

Royal power...

This permission is interesting!

According to the information he possessed, when human, demon, and other beings entered the Underworld, the beings of the Underworld could tell that they were not of the same kind, so they were quite hostile towards them.

Even many beings from the underworld will actively attack them.

Now that the underworld is protecting us, we don't need to worry anymore.

As for attending banquets, he had also seen records of them in Taoist scriptures:

In the underworld, a feast is held after a living being dies.

If a living person eats at a banquet, unless protected by special means, they will inevitably become food on the table.

If one has the means to protect oneself, one can gain some strange benefits from attending the banquet.

At this moment, he wanted to go to the underworld for a visit.

However, before that, he wanted to learn more about the second level of the interior.

Taking a deep breath, Wang Quan adjusted his mindset. Once his mind was calm, he realized that the white jade stone beneath his feet had expanded from one foot to three feet in size.

"Then let me see how this second level of the inner realm is both infinitely large and infinitely small."

After a moment, his thoughts drifted to the jade stone beneath his feet.

The next breath, he saw a chat box that resembled one from his past life.

There are constantly updated chat messages, discussion threads that resemble posts, and a framework called "Events".

Wang Quan first looked at the discussion threads, and the first one he saw was the one introducing the interior locations.

The content of this post is roughly the same as the information he obtained when he opened the second level of the inner realm, with only minor differences:

This place gathers all the cultivators from New Continent who had advanced to the [Second Grade Dao Seal] level before reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.

However, the floor where Wang Quan was located was entirely populated by Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Cultivators with higher levels of cultivation reside at other levels.

A thought flashed through his mind: "I wonder if I'll run into Ma Qingqiu!"

Ma Qingqiu should have gathered enough Foundation Establishment spiritual energy four or five years ago.

He would have already become a Foundation Establishment cultivator by now.

He checked some information, searching for traces of the other party, but found nothing.

He wanted to send a message to ask, but he found that the people who sent the messages all had a code name.

The access level is indicated before the code name.

Of the 10,000 cultivators who sent messages, only one or two had a level two identifier; the rest were level one.

Whenever a cultivator with Level 2 authority speaks, the other cultivators fawn over them.

Wang Quan looked at it for a while and found it quite interesting; the information here was complex and varied.

Some people send messages asking to buy certain materials; some ask for help in combat; but many more cultivators are looking for temporary partners.

"I am male and will be traveling to the far west in three months. Are there any temporary Daoist partners available? Male or female, number is not important; I simply wish to join a large cultivation family to quickly improve my Daoist skills!"

"I am a woman, newly arrived in the far west, and I am recruiting ten male Daoist partners. To join my family, you must first provide me with five Foundation Establishment spiritual lights each month! Other conditions are negotiable!"

"Brothers, whatever you do, don't come to the far west during this time!"

"Those old fogies at the top have suffered heavy losses recently, which has weakened their ability to suppress the four seasons and the twenty-four solar terms; the danger level at the bottom has increased dramatically. Just yesterday, more than 200,000 people died in the foundation building in our area."

"Everyone, I've assembled over ten thousand ordinary Foundation Establishment teams; do you need any cannon fodder? Just twenty Foundation Establishment spiritual lights are enough for me to send them over; the requirement is a casualty rate of less than ninety percent."
