I'm in Shrouding the Heavens Practicing Eternal Life

The carrier for the virtual world has been completed. The Godscar Purple Gold Pagoda, fused with the spiritual world model and the power of faith and willpower refined from massive beliefs, is already a preliminary spiritual platform.

The nine-layered purple pagoda radiates dreamlike light. The Undying Dragon Spear is withdrawn, and the Bodhi tree is brought back along the way. The array patterns on the ground gradually recede.

The Godscar Purple Gold Pagoda, like a small purple sun, adorns the mountain peak, emitting a mesmerizing glow that radiates in all directions.

… …

Wujiang Plain.

Over this period, many mortals have been relocated here.

The efficiency of cultivators is relatively high, because an ordinary cultivator can use storage treasures to carry a large number of people and supplies for long-distance movement.

Especially when a behemoth like a Sacred Ground is operating its own power, the cultivators' teams can directly uproot the mortals' houses. The Supreme Elders can even store an entire town in their sleeves.

This is also a small area in the Northern Region of the Eastern Wilderness. Even flying wouldn't take more than a few days to traverse. Therefore, during the few months that Luo Mo was creating the virtual world, many places in Wujiang Plain have become densely populated.

Especially below the large mountain where he is located, there is a winding river, and the spiritual energy is still relatively abundant, although it has decreased a lot compared to the previous period.

Below the mountain are large tracts of medicinal fields, where many mortals are working, tending to the newly planted medicinal herbs.

They do not produce food, because the immortals of the摇光 Sect will have people bring them food regularly. The transportation teams of the secular dynasties will bring them living supplies.

All they have to do is take care of the medicinal herbs in the fields.

This can be considered sparsely populated, because one person can take care of a very large area.

Between the medicinal fields, there are villages. In each village, there is a stone tablet. In addition to taking care of the medicinal fields, the villagers have to pray in front of the stone tablet every morning and evening according to the methods taught by the immortals.

"Dad, can I go with you to watch over the medicinal fields tonight?" A teenage boy said.

"You pray properly. The immortals said that the more you pray, the more benefits you will receive. You might even be chosen as a disciple of the immortal sect in the future. I'll take care of the medicinal fields," the father said, stroking the child's head with his thick palm. "I'll sleep there and guard it, so that nothing unexpected happens to the medicinal herbs. It wouldn't be good if they were bitten by wild animals."

"Okay."

Since the immortals moved their entire village here to plant medicinal herbs, life has improved a lot, and the elders cherish this opportunity.

The immortals of the Immortal Sect have promised that food has already been distributed to each household, and they only need to plant medicinal herbs. They don't have to rely on the weather for food like before, and they don't have to pay taxes. The elders all say that life has become better.

"Goudan, are you going to dig out bird nests?"

The boy shook his head as his companions came.

"No, my dad said I have to pray properly so I can be chosen as a disciple of the immortal sect in the future."

"Oh, just for a little while, we'll be back before dark."

"Still no."

The boy resisted the temptation of his companions and went to the village ancestral hall. There was a stone tablet enshrined at the top, with patterns carved on it. He didn't understand what it was, and he didn't dare to look directly at it, because looking at it for too long would make him dizzy, and the adults at home would slap him on the head, making his brain buzz, saying that he couldn't be disrespectful to the treasure left by the immortals.

But today, when Goudan came to the ancestral hall, he found that the stone tablet was glowing, with layers of purple light rippling, like the halo around the sun, shining from his eyes into his heart.

Buzz—

There was a buzzing in his ears, and his eyes were a little blurry. Countless tiny square particles changed, and black, white, and colorful lights flickered in these square particles, finally piecing together the appearance of the ancestral hall.

It's just that the ancestral hall was slightly different, becoming taller and larger. The pillars that the immortals casually cut down large trees to erect became golden jade pillars with coiled dragons, and the stone bricks under his feet also turned into gold bricks. Everywhere was dazzling with holy light.

A figure in white appeared in the ancestral hall, radiating a gentle light, with eyes like stars.

Goudan was already dumbfounded. The last time he saw an immortal was the last time.

But the last time the immortal just waved his sleeves, and they entered a dark place, and when they came out, they were here. That immortal looked very much like an ordinary old man, completely unlike this one, who radiated light all over his body, as if wrapped in a transparent crystal.

This immortal had a kind face, which made people feel good.

But as soon as the immortal waved his hand, Goudan felt his body lighten, and the next moment everything in front of him blurred and then returned to normal.

It was still the same ordinary ancestral hall, and the pillars were also made of wood. Everything just now seemed like a dream.

"Immortal… the immortal has manifested!"

The young boy didn't know what happened, he only thought that this must have been done by the immortal.

He shouted and ran out, and soon the entire village, old and young, came to the ancestral hall. No one dared to neglect it. Any instructions from the immortals had to be listened to immediately.

Led by the village chief, they chanted prayers, and strands of pure prayer willpower gathered and poured into the stone tablet.

Buzz—

Everyone's ears buzzed, and the scene in front of them began to distort and reorganize. It seemed like a long time had passed, but it also seemed like only an instant. Everyone appeared in the 'new ancestral hall' that Goudan spoke of.

"You, immediately sign the oath."

At the top of the ancestral hall, where offerings were placed, the kind-faced immortal spoke, and golden decrees appeared in the void, instantly formed by countless golden particles.

The villagers looked at each other, not understanding what the immortal meant.

"Please… please explain, immortal," the old village chief said boldly.

"Press your handprint on the book of oaths in front of you," the immortal explained.

"Quick, everyone, quickly press your handprints."

The old village chief greeted everyone, and the adults quickly pressed their handprints, and then quickly went to see if their children were obedient.

After the golden decrees were pressed with handprints, they split into two halves. One half entered their bodies, and the other half flew into the immortal's hand.

Soon, everyone completed this task, and all the halves of the golden decrees flew into the immortal's hand.

Rumble—

The sky suddenly opened up, and the immortal flew into the high sky. At this time, the walls of the ancestral hall all shook and then sank.

Only then did the people in the village realize that there were people all around, but they were blocked by the walls before.

But there weren't any houses around the ancestral hall, right? This is—

The immortal's methods are indeed unfathomable!

At this time, the immortal who flew into the high sky radiated holy light all over his body, and his voice was like thunder, resounding through the earth.

"Remember, I am ordered by the Holy Son to manage the villages and towns along the White Dragon River. From now on, I will count the daily prayer willpower. I will sense all prayers in your hearts. If you encounter important matters, you can report to me through prayer."

This is a tool person, transformed into an artifact spirit. The task Luo Mo arranged for him is like an NPC, responsible for assisting in handling the affairs of the virtual world.

This set of parachuted management system represents an almost full level of control. Luo Mo believes that the last incident will not happen again.

"Obey the immortal's decree!"

An old man took the lead and shouted, and the rest followed, "Obey the immortal's decree!"

The tool person pressed his palm in the air, suppressing this pomp that was meaningless to him except for wasting time, and then continued: "This is not the real world. From now on, as long as you pray within a hundred feet of the stone tablet, you can enter here. If you want to leave, just say the word 'exit'."

The light in the sky dissipated, and the immortal disappeared.

Leaving a large number of villagers here looking at each other, their minds were a little confused. Such a thing was too much of a fantasy for them.

But as soon as the immortal left, they felt much more at ease, not as restrained as before.

"Hey, are they from Dahong Village? I saw them when the imperial court sent people to teach us how to plant medicinal herbs together last time."

"People from Li Village? Weren't they assigned to a place hundreds of miles upstream from us?"

"Where exactly is this?"

Even though the tool person had explained the situation to them, the knowledge of mortals was not enough to understand it for a while.

But it doesn't matter, they will get used to it after using it a few more times.

Praying near the stone tablet that collects willpower in each village will allow you to enter the virtual world, and saying the word 'exit' will allow you to leave. This is a convenience measure for mortals.

Because mortals have not cultivated divine sense and cannot communicate with the virtual network in the void to enter with their divine sense, Luo Mo can only allow them to use the power of the Power of Wishes Stone Tablet to enter the virtual network, like connecting to WiFi, and also set a password to leave.

If it were a cultivator, it wouldn't be so troublesome. Cultivators can freely enter and exit by manipulating their divine sense.

Of course, it is impossible for anyone to enter and exit at will. This is also why Luo Mo made all the mortals under his jurisdiction sign an oath.

Among the three thousand Great Daos, there is a Great Oath Technique that can create a unique soul oath. This is equivalent to a verification measure to prevent others from exploiting loopholes and sneaking in.

Collecting the oaths of hundreds of millions of people will also allow Luo Mo to incidentally cultivate one of the three thousand Great Daos, which is a good thing.

The admission measures for cultivators will be even stricter.

For more than ten days in a row, Luo Mo was testing the stability of the virtual world, creating things in it, setting rules, and performing various actions with his physical body to see if he could find any bugs.

The facts prove that the Great World Technique among the three thousand Great Daos is also first-class for building virtual worlds, and there are no significant bugs.

The tool people have transformed into NPCs to guide the mortals. In the future, the gathered Power of Wishes can be directly transmitted to the Godscar Purple Gold Pagoda through the virtual world, without the need for the disciples of the Jade Radiance Holy Land to collect them from place to place one by one.

It is estimated that the disciples of the Jade Radiance Holy Land are not very willing, after all, this is a lucrative job, but the time for expansion is limited, and they still have some time to earn.

Boom!

In the second layer of the world, there are great mountains and rivers, and everything seems real, making it impossible to distinguish the difference.

Ye Fan held the Sun and Moon Seal in his hand, unfolded his own phenomenon, and several major phenomena condensed into one, turning into a Blood Dragon Demon Subduing Diagram draped over his body. The golden blood energy turned into a dragon shape, bursting out with terrifying power capable of destroying mountains and overturning mountains with every punch he threw.

In front of him was a huge iron-clad puppet. His offensive was fierce, causing the opponent to retreat steadily.

But the iron-clad puppet suddenly erupted,弹开 Ye Fan, and a halo enveloped him, making it impossible for Ye Fan to attack again.

[Battle Power Detection Result: Eighth Transformation of the Dragon Transformation Realm]

Looking at the dialog box-like thing that appeared in front of him, Ye Fan smiled and said, "You've brought science fiction into the cultivation world. This is basically a virtual game."

"It's not perfect enough. This layer will seal cultivation in the future."

After Luo Mo finished speaking, Ye Fan felt that his power in this virtual world had directly become the level of a mortal. He couldn't sense the Wheel Sea or the Dao Palace at all. Only a wisp of divine sense remained, but it was also suppressed by this world and could not leave the body.

Directly turned into a mortal.

"Even if it's not perfect enough, it's already very strong. It can allow the disciples in the sect to undergo life-and-death training in it. This is simply a natural training ground."

Life-and-death training will bring great progress, but the side effects are also obvious, that is, people are prone to die. In this virtual world, there is no need to worry about it. The rules of life and death are all set by the master of this world.

"It doesn't matter about the disciples in the sect. We can separately divide a world for training. Only mortals can enter this layer."

Luo Mo didn't intend to release this as a large-scale virtual online game. This is just a measure for him to collect the Power of Wishes and manage the secular world. For cultivators, he will only be willing to open up some functions to them if they offer him the Power of Wishes.

Therefore, he said, "I plan to announce the Prayer Method and then use the Power of Wishes as the currency of this virtual world."

"Power of Wishes as currency?"

How does it sound like game points or something?

"Then what about the goods? What are the goods?" Ye Fan asked again.

"Everything." Luo Mo said confidently, "We will be middlemen, specializing in earning the price difference!"

"Middlemen?"

"Scriptures, secret techniques, magic weapons, elixirs, we will be a platform. We will accept whatever others sell. We only need to take a cut from the transactions here."

Ye Fan raised a question, "But only divine sense can enter here, right? How are physical objects transferred? And didn't you say that the virtual world doesn't cover a large area now? It can only cover 3% of the Northern Region of Eastern Wilderness."

Indeed, this small virtual world is not as good as the Void God Realm in "Perfect World". Not only is the area small, but it also cannot transfer physical objects.

But——

"A small area is also an advantage."

Ye Fan was puzzled, "How is a small area an advantage?"

"A small area means that the delivery distance will be shorter. We can establish a logistics network in the Northern Region of Eastern Wilderness. Tourists can log in anonymously. Trading here will not be known to anyone. This is completely a combination of a dark web and a black market."

Luo Mo had already planned it. He didn't intend to open it to other cultivators so early, but he couldn't resist wanting others to help him collect the Power of Wishes.

"Dark web plus black market... It seems feasible!" Ye Fan understood Luo Mo's meaning.

The area of the virtual world is not large, so if you want to use this dark web, you basically have to come to the area covered by the virtual world in the Northern Region of Eastern Wilderness to go online.

Because the coverage area is not large, the delivery range is also much smaller. The virtual world cannot transfer physical objects, so people can deliver goods in the real world. Anyway, it's not very far, and delivery within seven days is definitely no problem.

If customers add money, they can also take the domain gate teleportation array and have it delivered on the same day.

"Of course, the scope is still small now. When the scope becomes larger in the future, we will bring all the auction houses such as the Nine Li Heavenly Palace and the Heavenly Demon Treasure Palace online."

Ye Fan thought for a while, "Why does this feel a little familiar to me? Are you going to create a shopping platform?"

"I guess so."

The platform is not important. Luo Mo just wants to use the virtual network to speed up the acquisition of the Power of Wishes. If he uses 'Power of Wishes' as currency on such a network and uses the rich resources in his hand as equivalents for others to exchange, then he can get a new way to obtain the Power of Wishes.

After all, for cultivators, having this virtual network is equivalent to being able to exchange cultivation resources for the Power of Wishes.

Where does the Power of Wishes come from?

Just pray. Luo Mo also plans to make the Prayer Method public.

Cultivators' prayers can generate the Power of Wishes. The stronger the cultivation, the greater the Power of Wishes generated. Moreover, there are many mortals in places where Luo Mo's power does not radiate. The Power of Wishes generated by the cultivators themselves is definitely not enough to consume. In this case, how could they not pay attention to mortals?

After all, it doesn't take much effort for cultivators to make mortals do things. How dare mortals not listen?

With the Power of Wishes, they can come to the virtual network to exchange for cultivation resources, which is equivalent to free stuff!

This is free stuff!

Who wouldn't like free stuff?

The vast power of faith of Buddhism should be difficult to obtain. Even if it can be obtained, it will have to wait many years. At this stage, if you want to obtain a huge amount of Power of Wishes for cultivation, you still have to find a way yourself.

"I plan to hold an auction in a while." Luo Mo had already thought about the next plan, and only needed to implement it step by step.

This is the best way to gather people. The auction items will mainly be Dragon Transformation Immortal Seeking Pills and some life-extending pills.

One enhances strength and potential, and the other extends life, both of which are fatally attractive to cultivators, and cultivators who can afford these two things will not be short of money.

In addition to some scriptures, secret techniques, divine jade, and divine gold, it will definitely attract the wealthy people from the five regions.

Then, release the news in advance that the Power of Wishes can be used to offset pure source, and cultivate customers' habits over time, so that they can also cultivate believers.

Of course, there will definitely not be too much Power of Wishes coming in at the beginning, but Luo Mo will also harvest a large amount of pure source.

Having source is the same. Driven by the source, someone will bring the Power of Wishes to exchange sooner or later. After all, except for Buddhism, the entire Shrouding Heavens cultivators have not utilized this resource, and even Buddhism does not use the power of faith to strengthen themselves, and there is no such method, but instead uses it to pile up Mount Sumeru.

What a pity to waste such good resources! The only Luo Mo who can quickly transform the Power of Wishes into strength can only digest this resource himself.

Is this also a kind of monopoly?

"Auctions are indeed a good way to attract popularity."

Ye Fan knew that Luo Mo had a lot of resources in his hands. He had raided the ancestral temple of the Feathered God Dynasty last time, so it was easy to hold an auction.

"Then what about the name? You have to give this virtual world a name before you can promote it to the outside world, right?"

"Let's call it (Name in Solicitation)."

Luo Mo didn't overthink the name issue and just took one casually.
