Inside the Illusory Star Cave.
After his one-star clone returned from completing the mission, Chen Yi's true form calmly opened his personal account in the chat group and began tallying the gains from this trip.
First, there were 500 million points—no small sum by any means.
While it still wasn’t enough to afford the top-tier items displayed in the Multiverse Store, it was more than sufficient to purchase basic Immortal Yuan Stones.
At a price of 200,000 points per stone, he could buy 2,500 of them. Combined with the 53 million points accumulated from the previous two missions, the total came to 2,765 stones.
That was enough to allow twenty-seven one-star clones to undergo the transformation into immortal bodies!
However, considering the uneven distribution of strength among his clones, Chen Yi wasn’t planning to immediately exchange for Immortal Yuan Stones and begin nurturing their evolution.
After all, dealing with just three nagging one-star immortal clones was already a headache. If twenty-seven more were added, he’d be completely overwhelmed.
It would be better to wait until he had enough points to elevate all his clones to the same level before proceeding.
Having decided to hold off on spending the points for now, the biggest gain from this trip was the 30 million group experience.
The higher the chat group’s level, the more functions it unlocked, and the greater its influence in the public zone!
For example, the group owner communication channel, which had been unlocked when the chat group reached level five—when Chen Yi, as the level-22 owner of Group 108, tried greeting other group owners, not a single one responded.
No surprise there—the hierarchy in the public zone was ruthlessly strict.
That day, standing among the level-22s in the public zone, he might as well have been a nobody.
Noticing that the level-28 owner of Group 98 was online, he politely greeted them, hoping for a friendly exchange.
Three days passed, and still—read, but no reply.
What was he even acting so high and mighty for?!
Just because he created his group a bit earlier and completed more missions?
Thirty years in the group, and still only level 28—what was there to boast about?!
Yesterday, you ignored me. Today, you’re not even worthy of my attention!
"Claim the rewards!"
Chen Yi’s true form immediately directed the one-star clone hosting the chat group to proceed.
[Ding! 500 million points have been deposited. Your current point balance: 553,150,000.]
[Ding! 30 million group experience has been added to Group 108’s leveling system.]
The next second, a series of system notifications chimed in the silent chat group.
[Ding! The group owner has claimed the mission rewards. Group 108’s experience +30,000,000.]
[Group 108 has leveled up to 32. 700,000+ experience points needed for level 33.]
[Group welfare check-in rewards have been upgraded. Members can now claim 3,200 points daily.]
[The group red packet system has been upgraded. The daily red packet limit is now 320,000 points.]
[New function unlocked—‘Multiverse Store Listings.’ Members can now sell idle items in the store’s secondary marketplace.]
[New function unlocked—‘Exorcism Dungeon Team-Up.’ Members can form teams to enter special secret realms and purge evil entities. The better the performance, the richer the rewards in points and group experience!]
[Note: Minimum combat power requirement—3,000,000. Minimum team size—three or more.]
"Oh?" Chen Yi raised an eyebrow, suddenly intrigued.
He had anticipated the ‘Multiverse Store Listings’ function—after all, the store already had many non-system items, such as The Holy Maiden’s Intimate Undergarment, Three Moves to Make a Man Devoted, Dragon-Root Special Pleasure Tool, and other anonymous member listings.
Flashy, with zero after-sales guarantees—finding a treasure was purely luck-based.
Honestly, he wasn’t optimistic about this second-hand marketplace. Nearly every item had tearful complaints from scammed buyers in the reviews.
With its reputation already in ruins, even if he listed some genuinely valuable items, few would likely take the bait.
And more importantly—would anyone in other chat groups even afford the things he put up?
Take the simplest example: The Great Devouring Heaven Art, which he freely shared in the group, was priced at 800 million points in the Multiverse Store. He couldn’t just slash the price and devalue his own prestige, could he?
Rather than wasting time on this, he might as well focus on high-value missions and dungeon runs!
Speaking of dungeons, the second function unlocked after reaching level 30 was worth mentioning—the Exorcism Dungeon Team-Up!
With a minimum combat power requirement of 3,000,000, the rewards in points and group experience were undoubtedly higher than ordinary missions.
This instantly made things much more interesting.
After reaching level 30, each subsequent level required 10 million group experience!
That much experience couldn’t possibly be earned just by members recklessly triggering distress missions.
After all, top-tier experts from other worlds weren’t fools—they wouldn’t mindlessly throw themselves at a weakling who could summon terrifying Outer Realm Demons.
Moreover, as members grew stronger, the chances of triggering distress missions would decrease. The early weak phase was the only time to stir up trouble and level up quickly—once they became powerful, this path would no longer be viable.
Thus, the ‘Exorcism Dungeon’ function unlocked at level 30 was crucial.
In theory, this should be the primary source of points and group experience after surviving the weak early phase and entering the mid-game!
But here was the problem—
Had Group 108 actually reached the mid-game yet?
Aside from Chen Yi, the god-tier group owner, the strongest member was Fang Zheng, with a combat power of 1.3 million.
And this old fox was even downplaying his strength in the group, claiming to only have 1.1 million. Who knew where he picked up this habit of playing dumb—revealing a little, hiding a little, training a little…
Of course, none of that mattered. The real issue was—Group 108 simply didn’t have enough members to form a three-person dungeon team!
How awkward was that?
The group owner was an overpowered cheat, but the members were all cavemen.
How long would it take for them to reach 3 million combat power?
Take Fang Zheng, whose cultivation talent was already monstrous—going from 1 million to 3 million would be equivalent to advancing from early-stage Divine Transformation to early-stage Unity Realm. That would take at least ten years!
And that was just barely meeting the requirement for one teammate. As for the other misfits… who knew how long they’d take to break through?
"Sigh, this is really hard to carry. Teammates, teammates… hurry up and grow. Stop lurking and start grinding…"
Chen Yi sighed deeply, glanced at the eerily quiet chat group, and casually sent out a max-value red packet.
[The group owner has sent a 320,000-point password red packet. Claim password: The group owner is the handsomest!]
Almost instantly—
Fang Zheng replied in a flash!
[I Really Don’t Want to Be a Sacrifice: The group owner is the handsomest!]
[‘I Really Don’t Want to Be a Sacrifice’ has claimed 90,000 points.]
[I Really Don’t Want to Be a Sacrifice: Love you, group owner! Talk later—I’m about to raid the Supreme Elder’s lair!]
[Damn Tribulation is Still Chasing Me: No rush. This can wait. Let them stew in fear for a while—no harm in dealing with them later. Your main task now is to train hard and break through 3 million combat power as soon as possible!]
["I Really Don’t Want to Be a Sacrifice": Don’t worry, Group Leader, I know my limits. Secluded cultivation is far less effective than wielding the Star-Suppressing Seal and clashing with a Supreme Being. Battling to the peak, feeding off combat—this is the path most suited to me!]
["I Really Don’t Want to Be a Sacrifice": With a Supreme Being who once attained the Great Emperor realm as my whetstone, I’m confident I can break through to the Quasi-Emperor realm within ten years—what some call the "Thirty Million Combat Power" threshold!]
["I Really Don’t Want to Be a Sacrifice": When that time comes, your will shall be my guiding light. Where you point, I shall charge as your vanguard!]
"Tsk—"
Chen Yi couldn’t suppress the grin tugging at his lips. Such smooth words left him utterly refreshed.
Hah, Fang Zheng, you truly delight me!
[Group Leader shared the file "Battle Scripture," accessible only to group member ‘I Really Don’t Want to Be a Sacrifice.’]
["Damn Heavenly Tribulation Is Still Chasing Me": Fang Zheng, study it well. Don’t let me down.]
["I Really Don’t Want to Be a Sacrifice": Thank you, Group Leader! I swear not to disappoint!]
"AAAAAH!!!"
"Fang Zheng! Fang Zheng! Fang Zheng Fang Zheng Fang Zheng!!!"
"You deserve to die!!!"
"This is worse than killing me!!!"
The muted group members roared in envy, their eyes burning crimson with jealousy.
And just then, Chen Yi twisted the knife further.
["Damn Heavenly Tribulation Is Still Chasing Me": Why is everyone else so quiet? Do you just not like talking?]
u serious?" Chen Feng watched helplessly as his painstakingly trained disciple, fresh off a championship victory, publicly abandoned him. "You had your chance, but you didn’t appreciate it. Now, face the consequences of your choice!" Chen Feng possessed the "Master System," a treasure trove of supreme martial arts techniques, capable of molding ordinary individuals into peerless prodigies. "Legs like yours? A shame not to train in the Crippling Kick." "Ever heard of a palm strike that descends from the heavens?" "Auntie! I see extraordinary bone structure in you—a martial arts prodigy, one in ten thousand." The once-defiant senior disciple, now watching her juniors rise to fame one after another, dominating the internet, was consumed by endless regret.
