Hermit in the Mountains

Ten thousand kilometers away from Mount Kurong, there is a valley called "Flower Fairy Valley".

Beside a pond in the valley, three beautiful figures sat around a stone table under a pavilion.

Three stunningly beautiful women, resembling each other nine-tenths, with elegant demeanors, are discussing the situation on Earth.

The woman, dressed in light blue, recounted in detail what she had seen and heard during her outing to her two sisters.

"I've investigated the situation outside. This place is called 'Blue Star,' a planet where color is observed."

Four years ago, it was still the degenerate age.

"Legend has it that four years ago, the spiritual energy of Earth revived, opening the path to cultivation."

"Blue Star experiences a spiritual tide once a year, and last year this planet began to expand; dozens of times larger;"

"I've heard that another group of ordinary beings from another world have arrived."

"Just a few days ago this year, Earth expanded approximately one hundred times its original size."

"We are the beings from this other world who have been descended upon this time."

"There is also a mysterious celestial artifact in the outside world called the 'Spirit Network,' which can be used by anyone who has developed spiritual consciousness."

"On the Spirit Network, there are cultivators from all over the world, and everyone can freely trade and discuss the Dao remotely."

The other two women looked surprised upon hearing this.

With their late-stage Golden Core spiritual power, their spiritual sense could only detect objects within a distance of about thirty miles.

A magical artifact that allows cultivators to trade and discuss Dao across mountains and seas can be called a "celestial artifact".

The woman in the pink dress beside her blinked her large eyes and asked, "Second Sister, did you ever go inside this magical artifact called 'Spirit Net'?"

The woman, referred to as the second sister, smiled and said, "The youngest sister is always the quickest-witted."

"I sensed the presence of the spirit network as soon as I stepped out of the great formation yesterday. I didn't dare to verify it at the time, so I went to investigate the surrounding area first."

"There is a city three hundred miles east of Flower Fairy Valley. I cautiously investigated for a long time before I learned what the Spirit Network was."

"While gathering information within the city, I also verified my identity on the Spirit Network."

"I saw countless messages on the Spirit Network, and I spent the whole night reading them."

"It's only been four years since spiritual energy appeared on Earth! Four years!?"

The woman exclaimed, "In just four short years, an immortal has appeared on Earth, creating a cultivation system called 'Destiny Seed'!"

"It is said that immortal beings possess extraordinary cultivation and unfathomable methods."

"The Spirit Network was created by the Immortal of Immortality, allowing cultivators to freely trade and discuss the Dao."

"I can't explain it all in a short time." The woman looked at her two sisters. "Eldest sister, younger sister, you two should exit the formation first and enter the Spirit Network for authentication."

"Once identity verification is completed, you can enter the Spirit Network once you return to the formation."

The woman referred to as the eldest sister and the youngest sister returned after about ten minutes. The three women sat on the stone bench with their eyes closed, resting.

Their minds entered the spiritual network, just like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, filled with curiosity.

They browsed the news on the forum while sharing their observations and experiences in their group chat.

After an unknown amount of time, the three women exited the Spirit Network and stared at each other in disbelief.

The woman in the purple robe, who always prided herself on her composure, was filled with surprise and disbelief on her usually calm face.

Her first thought was about moving: "Second sister, little sister, how about we apply for residency in the Immortal City and move here to cultivate?"

"Blue Planet is more dangerous than our original world. Although the three of us combined can unleash the power of a Golden Core cultivator at the peak of their cultivation, we are only at a mid-to-high level on Blue Planet."

"The spiritual energy of Blue Star has only existed for four years, yet there are already beings surpassing the Golden Core realm, demonstrating the exceptional talent of the cultivators here."

"The cultivation environment is many times better than our original world."

"We need to find a new home. Immortal City should be the safest place on Earth."

The women in blue and pink robes nodded in agreement, "We'll do as our elder sister says."

The woman in purple robes slowly rose. "Let's go to the cultivation room now and switch to practicing the 'Dao Seed Visualization Technique' together."

"Once the renovation is successful, we will apply to settle in the Immortal City."

"The three of us sisters are skilled at cultivating spiritual herbs, which are exactly the kind of talents that the Immortal City lacks. We have a high probability of being able to obtain a place to settle down."

"Offering secret techniques for cultivating spiritual herbs, alchemy methods, cultivation techniques, and spells can also increase the probability of settling down."

The three women instructed the disciples in the valley not to go out, and they plunged into the cultivation room to cultivate the Dao Seed Method.

Elsewhere, the alien forces that had just arrived on Earth had already learned about the Spirit Network and the situation on Earth.

After browsing through a large amount of information on the Spirit Network, they were all dumbfounded.

They were all absolute rulers in their original world, but after arriving on Earth, they realized how incompetent they were.

Thousands of Golden Core level forces and dozens of Nascent Soul level major forces;

There are also the ancient town of Shou'an, Wanshou Pavilion, and Kurong Mountain that weigh on the heads of all cultivators;

A being that appears to be an immortal.

They inwardly exclaimed, "This is terrifying! This is truly terrifying!"

Some demonic cultivators from other worlds have switched to cultivating the Dao Seed Technique, which is based on the scripture that is suspected to have been created by an immortal.

Even those without spiritual roots can condense a seed of the Dao and embark on the path of cultivation.

That's a demonic art; even a dog wouldn't practice it.

This immortal scripture is the mainstream cultivation method on Blue Star, a legitimate and orthodox cultivation method.

If they switch to cultivating the Dao Seed Method, they will no longer be the demonic cultivators that everyone hates.

The reason they embarked on the path of demonic cultivation is simply because they lacked the aptitude for it.

At this moment, the Dao Seed Method gave them a chance to start over and defy fate.

If they don't seize this opportunity, they will be letting down the souls they once killed.

After countless beings from other worlds figured out the situation of the Spirit Network and Earth, they all became more discreet.

Earth is terrifying; that's their deepest feeling.

What they need to do now is adapt, integrate, and climb to new heights in their spiritual practice.

As the Spirit Network intensifies its ability to capture spiritual energy fluctuations, a large number of beings from other worlds descend upon the land, and the number of Spirit Network users is fluctuating by hundreds or thousands every second.

The more people use the Spirit Network, the more Soul Liquid is collected, and the faster the grade of the Withered Glory Treasure Token will be promoted.

As the rank of the treasure token is promoted, the coverage area of ​​the spirit network will expand, allowing more people to join.

This cycle repeats itself, forming a positive feedback loop.

With the addition of various cultivation techniques, spells, and arts of cultivation from another world, the cultivation civilization on Earth is gradually being perfected.

Much of this is thanks to the advanced Spirit Network, which covers an area of ​​ten million square miles, greatly improving the flow of information and promoting the progress of cultivation civilization.

Mount Kurong, the Hall of Longevity.

Gu Changsheng sat cross-legged in the Pure World White Lotus, with six figures standing in front of him.

The Twentieth Grade Pure White Lotus was so dazzling that Gu Changsheng disguised it, making it appear to outsiders as just a jade lotus platform.

Gu Changsheng's gaze swept over the six figures in front of him.

Their cultivation levels were reflected in his sea of ​​consciousness.

The two guardian spirit pet cultivators were of the same cultivation level as him, the difference being their combat strength.

The eldest disciple has reached the ninth transformation of the Dao Tree realm.

The second disciple has reached the eighth transformation of the Dao Tree realm.

The third disciple reached the eighth transformation of the Dao Tree;

The fourth disciple, Daoshu, underwent a transformation.

All four direct disciples were at the Dao Tree Realm, living up to the name of being direct disciples of Kurong Mountain.

Sitting on the Pure White Lotus, Gu Changsheng slowly spoke, "I am about to go out to search for treasures, and I have called you here today to give you some instructions."

As soon as he finished speaking, he flipped his right hand, flicked his finger, and six points of light flew out.

The specks of light flew into the brows of the spirit pets and disciples, merging into their Dao seeds.

"The secrets inside must not be revealed; you all know them in your hearts!"

"When you go out to search for treasure, be careful. If you can't break through the formation, mark it and send the location to your master."

"Di Yuanzi, as the eldest disciple, you will continue to oversee Kurong Mountain."

"You can grow your own root and search for treasure in the surrounding area."

"Dahuang, Qingxuan, you two can take turns going out to search for treasure."

"Ziyang, Yinyue, Xinghe, the three of you should be careful when you go out."

"You may all leave!"

After reading the information within the Dao Seed, everyone was filled with shock; the spiritual energy node actually contained such a blessing.

They came to their senses and said, "This disciple takes his leave..."

After everyone left, Gu Changsheng gave Yin Kui, Yang Mancang, and Bai Qianqian a boost in their cultivation levels so that they could exercise their authority.

Bai Qianqian was at the first transformation stage of the Dao Tree, while Yin Kui and Yang Mancang both mentioned the ninth transformation stage of the Dao Tree.

Theoretically, there are no bottlenecks in their appointment of officials in the underworld and in the divine, as long as there is sufficient incense offerings, yin energy, and fortune.

As night fell, Gu Changsheng sent his design drawings to his eldest disciple so that the disciple could familiarize himself with them and begin constructing the dojo once the mountain spirit awoke.

He used his Earth Escape Technique to leave Kurong Mountain silently and venture deep into the core area of ​​the Qinling Mountains.
