At first, Li Yao was somewhat complacent. He thought that he could be considered a big shot in the cultivation world. So many cultivation sects and well-known loose cultivators had sent him congratulatory messages. Among them, there were many Core Formation Stage powerhouses and Yuanying Old Freaks who had warmly invited him to study the Three Thousand Great Ways together.
But as more and more congratulatory messages came in, he gradually realized that something was wrong — he had just set foot in the world of cultivation and was merely a 1st level Refinement Stage cultivator. He couldn't even compare to a Nascent Soul old monster's pinky finger, so why would they treat him differently?
After pondering for a long time, Li Yao suddenly realized that these were all congratulatory messages sent by the system.
Presumably, when a newcomer joined the Heaven Origin Cultivator Network, the telepathic thoughts set up by the major sects and loose cultivators would automatically send congratulatory messages. They were not sent by the deities themselves.
"So it was just my wishful thinking!"
Li Yao's face alternated between green and red. He thought to himself that it was fortunate that he had not rashly looked for Yuanying Old Freaks to discuss life. Otherwise, he would have lost a lot of face.
After waiting for the several hundred congratulatory messages to pass by with great difficulty, Li Yao began to seriously check the Heaven Origin Cultivator Network.
He found that the entire "Half-Step Great Illusionary Land" was divided into a dozen different areas.
When his eyes wandered to a certain area, a stream of information automatically floated in front of him. The speed of information flow also suddenly increased.
And in the most conspicuous location in the center of the network, there was actually an area called "Federation Cultivator News".
"The prototype of the new generation of Golden Armor Sect's main battle armor, 'Star Strike Shield', has been successfully refined. Golden Armor Sect invites fellow cultivators to come and compare notes, appraise, and give valuable suggestions. As long as you can give a feasible suggestion for improvement, Golden Armor Sect will pay you 10 million! "
"The Netherworld Squad is recruiting pharmacists! The Netherworld Squad is a well-known demon beast hunting squad in the Federation. It is composed of nine loose cultivators at the Building Foundation Stage. They hunt demon beasts in the depths of the wasteland all year round. Their strength is absolutely valiant. Their battle record is absolutely brilliant! We are now recruiting pharmacists at the peak of the Refinement Stage and above to join us. The income is generous and you can come and go freely. Once you officially join us, you will be given a top-grade Monster Core! "
"Wasteland War Report — The well-known Demon Beast Hunter 'Fiend Blade Peng Hai' encountered two high-level Demon Beasts fighting each other during a recent hunting mission. Both of them were seriously injured and were finally killed by Peng Hai! At present, we only know that one of the demon beasts is the 'Wilderness Snake'. Its demon core is of great help to cultivators in forming their cores. As for the other demon beast, we still don't know its species! "
"However, after this battle, Fiend Blade Peng Hai has reaped a great harvest. His strength has increased by leaps and bounds, and he is now firmly standing at the peak of the Building Foundation Stage. In the future, if he refines the Demon Core of the Wildland Snake, he will most likely become one of the youngest Core Formation Stage powerhouses in the Federation! "
"Latest news, Fiend Blade Peng Hai rushed back to Floating Spear City, where the Crimson Nimbus Guild's headquarters is located, and held a press conference to officially announce that he will be leaving the Crimson Nimbus Guild!"
"Peng Hai will leave the Crimson Nimbus Sect. Become a rogue cultivator! "
"Because the contract between Peng Hai and the Crimson Nimbus Sect has yet to expire, Peng Hai will have to pay a penalty of up to 2 billion for this decision. The market is currently calm, and the Crimson Nimbus Guild's share price has fallen by 0.8% and has remained stable. "
"Many cultivation sects have sent invitations to Peng Hai. The Heavenly Dragon Sect even invited Peng Hai to be an elder, but he rejected all of them. Peng Hai said that he will be a rogue cultivator and live a free life of hunting."
"However, according to sources, Peng Hai is in the process of establishing his own sect!"
Li Yao's mind was stirred. He didn't expect that after not seeing him for three months, Senior Brother Peng would actually make such a big move.
Sensing his thoughts, Peng Hai's mind was moving at lightning speed. The news about Peng Hai leaving the Crimson Nimbus Guild was suddenly magnified, and a live video of the press conference also appeared.
Peng Hai was seen with a smile on his face. He was calmly sitting behind a long table. Next to him sat an ashen-faced old man with a long face. He wore a moon-white robe with a flame pattern drawn on the cuffs — this was the uniform of the Crimson Nimbus Guild.
Looking at the seven blazing flames embroidered on his chest, he should be an elder of the Crimson Nimbus Guild.
The audience was crowded and the atmosphere was fiery. All of them were reporters who wished for the world to be in chaos.
Fiend Blade Peng Hai smiled and said:
"Friends from the media, please calm down. The reason why I chose to leave the Crimson Nimbus Guild is not because I am dissatisfied with the Crimson Nimbus Guild, nor is it because I have a conflict with someone. It is because I have just hunted two high level demon beasts and obtained some rare materials, including an incomparably precious Monster Core."
"For the next step, I will spend all my energy refining the Monster Core and breaking through to the Core Formation Stage. I am afraid that I will not have much time to deal with sect affairs."
"If I continue to stay in the Crimson Nimbus Guild, on one hand, it will be detrimental to my own cultivation. On the other hand, it will be irresponsible to the Crimson Nimbus Guild. Hahahaha. Therefore, let us part on good terms. The future is long. It is that simple!"
"Peng Hai! Peng Hai! "
The reporters scrambled to be the first to speak. A reporter jumped up and shouted, "Peng Hai, I heard that your teacher, Sun Biao, has recently accepted an unnamed disciple, Li Yao. And you have a very deep relationship with Li Yao. You have personally taught him many cultivation methods! The conflict between Li Yao and Chixiao No. 2 High School is well known in Floating Spear City. Does your departure from the Crimson Nimbus Guild have anything to do with this matter? "
Li Yao was stunned. He did not expect that he would be related to this matter. It was truly an unexpected calamity.
Peng Hai's smile was somewhat stiff. The Crimson Nimbus Guild Elder beside him coldly snorted and said, "Which reporter are you from?
"Which media outlet are you from? How can you speak so casually without any evidence? Student Li Yao was once a student of Chixiao No. 2 High School. Although he later transferred schools for some reason, he is still the pride of Chixiao No. 2 High School. What kind of conflict could we have that would cause everyone to know about it? Fellow Daoist Peng left the Crimson Nimbus Guild for a very simple purpose. That is to concentrate on breaking through to the Core Formation Stage. Since he has already paid the two billion penalty in accordance with the contract, what else is there to say? The entire Crimson Nimbus Guild congratulates Fellow Daoist Peng for successfully forming his Gold Core! "
Peng Hai nodded and said,
"Elder Ma is right. I have been in the Crimson Nimbus Guild for the past few years. Although I have left, my heart is still with the Fellow Daoists of the Crimson Nimbus Guild. One day, if I am lucky enough to form my Gold Core, I will have many opportunities to cooperate with the Crimson Nimbus Guild. I ask everyone not to make wild guesses!"
"Peng Hai —"
Another reporter stood up. "I heard that you have the intention to establish a sect. Is that true?"
Peng Hai faintly smiled. "Well, let's talk about this after I form my Gold Core!"
Li Yao closed the video. Peng Hai heaved a long sigh.
"I didn't expect Senior Brother Peng to be so formidable. In just three months, he has already hunted down two high-level demon beasts and obtained their demon cores. Not only has he consolidated his foundation at the peak of the Building Foundation Stage. He also has the opportunity to break through to the Core Formation Stage. "
"Once he succeeds in breaking through, Jin Dan will become a famous figure in the world of cultivators. Establishing a sect and establishing his own force will not be a problem."
"However … I will not lose to him. I have already set foot on the road of cultivation. One day, I will catch up with Senior Brother Peng's footsteps! "
Li Yao gathered his thoughts and continued to explore the other sections of the Federation's Cultivator's Net.
He discovered that the Federation's Cultivator's Net was a large platform for cultivators to communicate with each other.
In some of the sections. Cultivators could exchange magical equipment, medicines, heavenly materials, earthly treasures, and demon beast materials.
They could either directly trade with each other or use the form of an auction.
In some other sections, the Cultivators were engaged in intense, mysterious discussions about the mysterious, esoteric problems of training. There were tons of special terms and formulas for the conversion of spiritual energy that were as vast as an ocean. Li Yao was dizzy and didn't know what to make of it.
There were also some sections where many cultivators called their friends. They organized hunting squads and prepared to go to the Demon Beast Wasteland to kill in all directions.
In short, as long as it was a cultivator's daily cultivation life, all the needs they could think of could be satisfied here.
Li Yao explored for half a day and discovered that the vast majority of the sections required an extremely high level of authority to participate.
Not to mention entering some sections, he wasn't even allowed to look at them. All of them were sealed with restrictions.
The only section that was completely open to him was a section called "Beginner's Guide".
Li Yao focused his mind on the four words "Beginner's Guide".
His eyes were overflowing with light. Seven-colored flames flickered, and soon, a man wearing a Daoist robe appeared. An old man with white hair and a youthful complexion, with an immortal air, smiled and said:
"Fellow Daoist Li Yao, hello, I am the system's automatic 'Cultivator's Assistant', and also your personal guide. I will explain to you in detail the general knowledge of the cultivation world and help you integrate into the incomparably mysterious and infinitely wonderful world of cultivation as soon as possible!"
"Oh." Li Yao nodded and said indifferently.
The Daoist robed old man looked him up and down and suddenly said: "According to past experience, I should change my appearance to arouse more of your enthusiasm!"
Before his voice fell, the Daoist robed old man's figure flashed. His entire body was surrounded by a ball of feather-like white light. A moment later, the white light condensed and turned into a spotless white Daoist robe. It draped over the body of a thirty to forty year old beautiful woman.
The beautiful woman was still charming, and her figure was particularly plump. Although her expression was solemn and inviolable, her eyes were sparkling, vaguely revealing a trace of charm. Coupled with the fact that the white Daoist robe was too narrow and the slit was too high, not only were her soft breasts completely exposed, her jade-like thighs were also faintly discernible.
Noble, seductive, sacred, and provocative. Two completely opposite temperaments were entangled on her body, forming an incomparably charming style.
Li Yao's face suddenly turned red.
The beautiful woman pursed her lips and smiled. Her eyes couldn't conceal the myriad of amorous feelings. She said in a tender voice: "According to past experience, appearing with this appearance can increase the learning efficiency of new male cultivators by 21%. However, if Fellow Daoist Li Yao has other preferences, you can also be generous and ask — my telepathic thoughts have stored over a hundred kinds of skin. Whether it is a strong man, a young girl, or even a long-tailed banshee, they can all be changed at will."
"There's no need. That's all!" Li Yao hurriedly said.
The beautiful woman smiled softly and said:
"Alright, since Fellow Student Li Yao likes my current appearance, then let's begin. According to the Federation's policy, I have to first explain the < Basic Laws of Cultivators > to you."
Li Yao was a little confused: "Cultivators also need to talk about the Basic Laws?"
The beautiful woman nodded and said matter-of-factly: "Of course. Our Xing Yao Federation is a country ruled by law. Everyone is equal, regardless of whether they are normal people or cultivators, before the law, everyone is treated equally. However, because cultivators are too powerful, the slightest bit of carelessness can cause great damage. Therefore, this law was specially created to inform new cultivators of some of the most basic rules and laws. This is to prevent them from causing trouble without knowing it. If they were to be treated as evil, they wouldn't even be able to cry even if they wanted to cry."
