I created a safe zone in the nightmare world.

After mastering the basics of the Sharpening Edge Incantation, he quickly mastered another superior-level incantation, the Eye of Clarity.

As for the ultimate spell missile, it's not entirely useless to him. The precious jade that can be condensed at the pinnacle of cultivation can also be paired with his limitless spell weapon. It's just that Li Feng doesn't have that much energy right now.

Even with spellbooks and the vast knowledge training room, and with Li Feng's profound foundation and first-class comprehension, it is still not easy to learn.

Furthermore, all three spells currently exist in unique copies, making resources extremely scarce.

Zhuo Ling then learned the Eye of Clarity and the ultimate spell, Missile.

Surplice learned the ultimate spell techniques, Missile and Aura.

Xiao Xue's main skill is the same as Li Feng's.

They all learned it in one go, even the more difficult one, the Eye of Enlightenment.

A week later,

At this moment, the original power of the three extraordinary spells had been exhausted, but Shi An looked at the several brand-new extraordinary scrolls in the library and nodded in satisfaction.

"Now that the excellent spells have been passed down, we can put these three excellent spells on the exchange list." There are now six excellent spells in total.

The four types of scrolls can only be used at a maximum of four at a time, and the consumption and production of these three scrolls have already entered a positive cycle. Naturally, there is no need to hide them.

Strengthening the members' power strengthens the security zone's power. Moreover, the more people learn superior spells, the faster the Library of Knowledge can create those spells.

"However, it's really hard to say whether an extraordinary expert can learn a superior-level spell."

"After all, sharpening their blades is far stronger than the extraordinary Great Perfection realm."

"Therefore, the threshold for understanding and the price cannot be too low."

Shi An pondered for a moment and then set a price.

Tiannan City, Base No. 1.

This is a base independent of the four major army corps bases. It is smaller in area than the four major bases and does not look particularly grand from the outside. However, the reason why it is named "Number One" is naturally because the base is extraordinary inside.

This is the most important training area within the Tiannan City defense perimeter, containing a unique spectacle: six man-made cultivation sites.

More importantly, the Ascension Realm giants of Tiannan City often reside here.

A wondrous sight: the Divine Pavilion.

This is a unique cultivation-related wonder. People who stay here for a long time can slowly increase their spiritual power, while their thinking speed, thinking ability, and comprehension will significantly increase.

If one touches the rune stone at the top of the Divine Thought Tower, the toucher can enter a state of "clear mind," but this wonder requires the consumption of the Divine Thought Tower's own source energy, and the number of times the experts of Tiannan City can use it is not many.

At this moment, in a cultivation room on the top floor of the Divine Thought Building.

One of the three giants of Tiannan, the commander of the city defense army, and the garrison commander of Zhenyue, Luo Shoujun, is currently cultivating—or rather, observing and studying—an exceptional-level incantation. —Incantation: Ultimate Mountain-Shattering Slash!

Although it is called a slash, the superior-level spell is not that inconvenient. This spell can also be performed with a gun, stick, sword, fist, or palm.

His compatibility with the garrison commander of Zhenyue Luo was extremely high.

They had only bought this spellbook from the Traveler Civilization a little over half a month ago.

Luo Shoujun only spent a week cultivating this spell to the proficient level.

"But once you reach the proficient level, it becomes increasingly difficult to improve, and there are still many aspects of this spell that I haven't been able to understand." Luo Shoujun frowned.

He was examining the scroll in his hand, carefully observing its mysterious and extraordinary patterns.

However, this scroll is not the original, but a replica made using the technology mastered by Tiannan City itself. The mysterious power contained in it is about one-tenth of the original.

Even with only one-tenth of it, it is still incredibly profound. The efficiency of studying this copy is ten or even dozens of times greater than the efficiency of the dreamer practicing on their own, repeatedly casting spells and pondering them!

This also demonstrates Tiannan City's technological strength!

"Unfortunately, it's still far inferior to the original. Ultimately, this spellbook is too profound and difficult to replicate, especially since I'm currently facing some bottlenecks."

"Should we take out the original to examine it?"

Luo Shoujun murmured, suppressing the restlessness in his heart.

He owned the entire superior-level spellbook, but he couldn't bear to waste a chance to study it.

Ultimately, exceptional spells are too precious; he may never have the chance to obtain a second one.

He must save the remaining two observation opportunities for when he is aiming for the pinnacle.

"Sigh, let's keep thinking about it."

It has been more than a week since the upgrade and renovation of the Boshi Library was completed.

During this period, many extraordinary experts have made breakthroughs through the Bo Shi Cultivation Room.

On this day, Xuanjian came here as usual.

His Rising Dragon Slash was already incredibly powerful, although it wasn't completely perfected yet, but continuing to spend energy on it would be less cost-effective. Therefore, he shifted his focus of cultivation to the other two main spell arts.

He also planned to learn one or two new spells to further refine his system.

Xuan Jian opened the library's navigation interface, wanting to see if any of the spellbooks collected recently were suitable for him. As he looked, his eyes suddenly widened.

"!" Ⅰ"

He rubbed his eyes again, and when he looked again, the three words "Excellent Level" were still clearly displayed there.

library……

"The library has superior-grade spells available for exchange?!"

Someone exclaimed in surprise.

But soon, the vast majority of members discovered that they were not even qualified to inquire about information about this spell.

Only premium members can view this.

They were unwilling, but upon closer examination, their reasoning was quite reasonable.

This is an exceptional-level spell!

"If a rare-level spell can serve as a powerful ultimate weapon for a transcendent expert, then what about an excellent-level spell?"

I can't believe it!

Perhaps with such a spell, defeating enemies of higher levels would be a piece of cake.

"Could it be a staff error, accidentally displaying an excellent-level spell?"

"No, it doesn't seem so."

Even the premium members who had access to detailed information found that they couldn't afford to redeem it.

expensive.

It's normal that it's expensive; before this, no one even dreamed of learning superior-level spells.

However, when such a spell was clearly laid out here, everyone's attention was immediately drawn to it, and they couldn't tear themselves away.

Although I can't afford to exchange it right now, there are opportunities to do so.

expensive?

The problem isn't with the magic; it's with ourselves!

However, the senior members quickly discovered, "The exchange price of this spell... hmm, it seems to be a floating price? Oh, and it's explained below, this is meant to discourage those of us who aren't strong enough. The official recommendation is that you should at least cultivate a rare-level spell to a state of perfection before you can even try to comprehend it." They haven't even mastered a rare-level spell, yet they dare to dream of cultivating an excellent spell? Dream on.

Xuanjian is qualified.

Xi Xue's main skill, incantation, is also about to break through to a state of divine mastery.

However, they found that they couldn't afford it either. This time, the comprehension required 3000 contribution points, and they didn't usually save up many contribution points. They basically spent all their contribution points to convert them into their own combat power.

Shi An does not accept Meng Jing.

He sells basic goods in the safe zone for Dream Crystals, as the safe zone also has a large demand for Dream Crystals; he sells mid-level goods and training ground slots for Dream Crystals plus contribution points; and high-level goods can only be redeemed with contribution points. His designed merit system has not yet been launched.

Once an exceptional spell is unleashed, the value of the safe zone contribution points increases once again.

but,

The value of points contributed to the safe zone has always fluctuated, or rather, it has been increasing.

Shi An has also been adjusting its policies.

The contribution points required to exchange for ordinary spells have been greatly reduced, and Dream Crystals are no longer required.

At the same time, he also lowered the minimum contribution points required to apply for a regular membership from the initial 100 points to the current 50 points.

However, the contribution points awarded to Dreamers who conquer ordinary nightmares are reduced accordingly.

After all, contribution points are a high-value currency that can even be exchanged for superior-level spells. Dream Crystals? You can't do without them, but that's about it. The safe zone is once again experiencing a wave of strategy guide frenzy with both Nie and [another player/character].

Recently, another major event has occurred within the safe zone.

This concerns the selection of candidates for the Land of Revelation.

The selection process directly uses the challenge rankings from the Trial Realm as the "Martial Arts Trial" results, selecting the strongest from among the applicants.

Although it was said to be voluntary, in reality the vast majority of members signed up.

"After all, this is bringing glory to the city, and even the country, and each city's countermeasures bureau has issued a reward commission."

"But then again, why is the selection being conducted on a city-by-city basis? This makes our Baijiang City much more competitive than the other two cities!" The three cities are tentatively set to have four Transcendent Realm experts, one or two early-stage Transcendent Realm experts, two mid-stage Transcendent Realm experts, and twenty Refining Realm experts.

In addition, there are several substitutes.

The one who spoke was a peak expert at the third level of the Refinement Realm.

He sighed, "I'm ranked 69th on the Human Ranking, yet I couldn't even make the cut. This is utterly absurd!"

But there was no way around it; Baijiang City had been in the "Safe Zone Era" the longest, had the most veteran members, and naturally had the most powerful members. He sighed, and another member beside him sighed even more.

The old man said, "Come on, you're only ranked 69th, while I'm ranked ninth on the Human Ranking, a top ten powerhouse, and I still didn't make it!" "We lost souls can't go, but you at least made it into the candidate queue, you might even have a chance to get in. You Baijiang people shouldn't be so smug."

These people in the camp did protest, but they quickly realized that their protests were futile.

Because the rules were not set by the three cities of Baijiang, nor by Tiannan City.

Rather, it is the rule of the Land of Revelation.

Shi An understood the reason.

"Initially, Tiannan City wanted to recruit the three cities of Baijiang because each city had its own quota. Moreover..."

"The rules of the Land of Revelation treat 'worldly cities' as a single unit, while camps, even Nightmare Town, are ignored." "Does this mean that worldly cities are indeed very important? They have an irreplaceable importance?"

Shi An strongly supports this operation in the Land of Revelation.

Perhaps, there will be a chance to conquer an extremely high-level nightmare area.

Moreover, after learning about the "catastrophe that will destroy the world," Shi An was eager to learn more. This land of revelation should not only offer opportunities but also provide some clues.

Shi An looked at the list.

The extraordinary individuals in Baijiang City: Xuanjian, Xixue, Liwei, and Baiyu.

Those in the refining stage include: Wu Yue, Song Qiming, Lao Yao, Hei Hu, Li Hao, Xia Yuxiu...

These are all old acquaintances; some are veteran members of the safe zone, others are employees, or people Shi An knows in real life. It has to be said that the competition for the Baijiang City slots is truly fierce.

Within the Transcendent Realm, for example, Captain Long Xingzhou is also a prodigy with extremely strong combat power. However, because he is only at the mid-Transcendent Realm and is indeed no match for Xuan Jian and Xi Xue, he can only regretfully fall into the reserve position.

Half of the top ten on the Refining Stage Ranking are from Baijiang City.

It's worth mentioning that Lu Fan, who was previously ranked number one, recently advanced to the extraordinary level, which naturally caused him to miss the opportunity to participate in the battle.

But it wasn't just Lu Fan.

Wu Yue, Lao Song, Hei Hu, and many other top-tier cultivators at the Third Refinement Realm have already found their own extraordinary rituals and are currently preparing for them.

It may take another one or two months, or even longer, for the Land of Revelation to join the war.

This period of time is too long. Suppressing one's cultivation level for this has caused some disadvantages. Everyone in the current safe zone is very complacent. If one stagnates for two months, there will be even less chance to catch up with those ahead.

Yan Xiangtian and other powerful figures representing the city's official authorities also suggested that everyone should break through when necessary.

As for whether this will lead to a lack of strong fighters on our side?

There's no need to worry about this.

The rankings on the leaderboard change rapidly; people frequently advance to the extraordinary level and disappear from the list, while new dark horses also emerge with great force from time to time. The strength doesn't lie in one or two exceptional talents, but rather in the "geniuses" cultivated by the entire system within the safe zone.

Furthermore, as time goes by and the foundation of the safe zone deepens, the combat power displayed by the top experts on the Human Ranking is also getting stronger. The most obvious example is that the performance of the top ten on the Human Ranking in the Trial Realm has definitely improved significantly this week compared to last week—even if one or two or three of them have already broken out of the rankings.

"Back then, the so-called geniuses Xuanjian, Xixue, and Taozi, at the peak of the Third Refinement Realm, were actually no match for the current top ten on the Human Ranking." "Back then, there weren't so many rare-level spells, nor were there martial arts arenas to hone skills, and there weren't many top-level secret medicines that could improve physical strength, spirit, and spell power."

Among the names on the lists of Lin Dong City and Chong Shan City, some people Shi An recognized, while others were relatively unfamiliar.

Shi An's gaze fell on a few of them.

"Bai Shitong, a senior member, is a civilian from Lin Dong City. However, he has now formed a loose organization within the safe zone, specializing in collecting and selling intelligence. I remember him as a superhuman skilled in reconnaissance and perception, but I didn't expect him to be so good at combat as well."

"Fang Xiu, the Coffin Bearer, is the captain of Chongshan City. He is skilled in controlling and sealing, and can kill a late-stage Transcendent Strange Being one-on-one." "Yu Qiqi, the Frost Maiden, comes from a large organization in Lindong City. She has an extremely powerful ability to control large areas and even manipulate the weather. If given some materials and time to prepare, she can even make the entire town covered in ice and snow."

"Li Yiquan, the master of the Ultimate Fist, comes from a martial arts school. He admires absolute power and speed and is also a ruthless person who is extremely hard on himself. He has awakened a physical talent, and his physical strength is unlike that of a human."

This is an era that produces many outstanding talents.

Some representatives from Lindong and Chongshan City are in no way inferior to the likes of Xuanjian and Xixue.

Not to mention the extraordinary individuals who didn't register or couldn't register.

"My safe zone is gradually entering an era of extraordinary beings."

Around the same time.

In Tiannan City, the selection process for various organizations is in full swing.

Base One.

The "King of Soldiers" from various corps and war zones are exchanging skills.

Yang Fan is a squad leader in the Third Army Corps, and he is emerging victorious from the final round.

"Wow, Yang, you've improved so much all of a sudden! You defeated another peak Third Refinement Realm expert in just ten moves. With that kind of strength, you could compete for a spot among the top ten elite soldiers, right?"

Yang Fan was also somewhat dazed.

He wasn't bad before, but he was definitely not this strong, and it's impossible for him to secure a spot so easily.

His comrades all praised him as being among the top-tier warriors in the Third Refinement Realm.

"First-rate?"

But when Yang Fan recalled his experiences over the past few days, he realized that he had gone to the legendary safe zone and witnessed a brand new world.

He truly felt that he was now very strong, possessing the invincible presence of the Third Refinement Realm.

Until he ventured into the trial realm of the martial arts arena.

The results were good.

That's what he thought.

But when he came out, he found that he hadn't even made it into the top 100 on the leaderboard.

His comrades all believed that he could bring glory to the Third Army Corps, the city defense forces, Tiannan City, and the Great Xia Dynasty, and give the guys from Gray Harbor City a sound thrashing. But Yang Fan wanted to say, "There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding."

In fact, Tiannan City also secretly cultivates strong individuals who do not participate in the selection process; these are the true hidden talents.

He believed that there were also such powerful figures in Grey Harbor City.

but,

"I believe that the top-ranked experts in the safe zone are probably no weaker than these secret experts, and may even be stronger."
