"Lu Ze?"
"It's actually Lu Ze!?"
"How could it be Lu Ze!?"
"Could it be that True Disciple Zhong happens to be at Lihuo Peak as well?"
...
Countless cultivators erupted into exclamations all at once.
Even Lu Ze's master, Nangong Yuan, looked completely dumbfounded. His expression seemed to say, "Right? How could it be this rebellious disciple?"
He couldn't easily judge other people's disciples, but didn't he know exactly what kind of character his own rebellious disciple had?
Let alone being far from a sage.
Sometimes, he couldn't even be considered close to being human...
That was why he hadn't said a single word just now when the other elders were eagerly guessing their own disciples.
But at this moment, the result exceeded everyone's expectations!
Nangong Yuan froze for a moment, and then his beard couldn't help but curl upwards as he said in wild ecstasy:
"Hahahaha!! I said long ago that my disciple has a pure and good nature, possessing the bearing of a sage... Hahaha!!"
However, although the crowd was astonished, no one dared to question it.
This was a sage phenomenon sent down by the Heavenly Dao; questioning Lu Ze meant questioning the Heavenly Dao itself.
Lu Ze, who was in the center of the anomaly, was completely bewildered by everything around him.
It wasn't until that wisp of golden Xuanhuang Qi merged into his body that he was certain...
He was indeed the one who had triggered the sage phenomenon.
What was going on?
The one becoming a sage is me??
I walk the demonic path, for crying out loud!!!
Something must have gone wrong!!!!
Lu Ze's brain worked at lightning speed, but he couldn't figure out what was so saintly about himself.
"Sage" was not simply a title, but heaven and earth's recognition of one's deeds.
Those who could manifest a sage phenomenon were very few in the history of the Profound Heaven Continent.
For example, the ancient sect master of the Profound Heaven Sect, Sage Meng.
He used the entire sect's providence to buy a thread of survival for the righteous cultivators, triggering a sage phenomenon before his body died and his dao vanished.
For example, Sage Zhang during the chaotic times.
It was said that this person cultivated the Great Dao True Word Art to the extreme, even possessing the potential to become an immortal.
Yet he did not hesitate to exhaust his lifelong cultivation to shout the four true words: "To ordain conscience for Heaven and Earth, to secure life and fortune for the people, to continue lost teachings for past sages, and to establish peace for all future generations," opening up an immortal path for the lowly commoners in the chaotic times.
Or for instance...
...
In short, those who triggered sage phenomena were all top-tier, incredible figures.
They had either bled for a prosperous era or brought blessings to the people of a region.
And what about him?
Other than making games, it was making games.
Not to mention creating spiritual opium, he also milked players for money, tortured people, and...
"My good disciple, tell your master, what have you been doing behind my back lately?"
Nangong Yuan beamed with joy, holding Lu Ze's hand for the first time as if he were looking at a precious treasure, his smile as warm as the morning sun in spring.
"Uh... I don't know either?"
Lu Ze shrugged helplessly.
This time, he really didn't know.
The countless observing cultivators present were all dumbfounded.
"What? Even he himself doesn't know?"
"Could it really be that the Heavenly Dao made a mistake?"
"Impossible! That's the Heavenly Dao!"
"Could it be... that Lu Zhenchuan is secretly an ultimate sage who delivers all living beings?"
"Why don't you just doubt the Heavenly Dao instead?"
"Didn't he just create an illusion realm..."
...
Just as everyone was incredibly confused, a loud and clear voice suddenly rang out:
"Perhaps, I know why."
Everyone looked up and saw Zhong Yi flying freely in the air, smiling and giving Lu Ze a thumbs up.
Zhong Yi took out a spirit stone and held it high in his hand.
"Spirit stones... I presume none of you who could make it here are lacking in them."
"But have you ever thought that outer disciples lack them, and handyman disciples lack them... Those rogue cultivators without a sect to rely on would even fight tooth and nail for a single spirit stone."
"High-level cultivators will only get more and more spirit stones, while the resource gap for low-level cultivators will only grow larger."
"It is almost impossible for low-level cultivators to earn spirit stones from high-level cultivators, because they lack the ability to provide the things that you and I need..."
"But in Junior Brother Lu's illusion realm, we all have things we desire."
"And they happen to be able to provide them."
"In other words, Junior Brother Lu's illusion realm has given all cultivators in the cultivation world an opportunity to obtain spirit stones..."
"For them, this is a path."
"An immortal path that exists within the illusion realm."
"Now, do you all still think he merely created an illusion realm?"
After hearing Zhong Yi's words, many cultivators present nodded in half-understanding.
"So to speak, the reason Lu Zhenchuan could gain the recognition of the Heavenly Dao is because he brought blessings to countless rogue cultivators between heaven and earth?"
"Put that way, it seems to make perfect sense."
"Isn't it rumored that a great era of cultivation is coming? Perhaps it has something to do with this illusion realm?"
"It might really be possible... Is this the 'providence' of low-level cultivators?"
...
Lu Ze looked at Zhong Yi with sudden realization.
It was only then that he understood why he had gained the Heavenly Dao's recognition.
But he still found it quite bizarre.
I was just supposed to make games in the immortal world, how did I suddenly become a sage??
It was just a pity that without the Primordial Purple Qi, the sage phenomenon wasn't complete enough, so he could only be considered a sage in reserve for now.
"Junior Brother Lu, your Dao is different from others... 'Operation Xianyuan Continent' is only the beginning."
As if seeing through Lu Ze's thoughts, Zhong Yi landed beside him and patted his shoulder.
"If in the future, you can continue to carve out this 'path' in the illusion realm, becoming a sage will only be a matter of time."
Hearing this, Lu Ze immediately felt quite amused in his heart.
Isn't that just promoting gold-farming to the masses?
That would be too easy!
As long as it's an online game, you can farm for gold!
"Thank you for the guidance, Senior Brother Zhong."
Lu Ze smiled in thanks, but suddenly felt a slight chill.
Looking up, he happened to see Li Moran looking at him from afar in the sky, her icy eyes shimmering slightly.
"Has it already turned into me chasing after you so soon?"
The faint smile at the corners of her mouth was fleeting, and a sense of anticipation suddenly welled up in Li Moran's heart.
"'Operation Xianyuan Continent'? Interesting... I should give it a try."
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
