Huang Xiao pulled Chao Wendao and Elder Third Elder Lin of Danqing Peak, and the three of them started matchmaking together.

Looking at the clumsy operations of his two old friends, Huang Xiao immediately felt comforted.

Good heavens, no wonder everyone outside said that Lu Ze's Illusion Realm was fair to everyone.

Look at how bad this Void Refining Elder is, just like a Qi Refining Disciple...

Comparing them like this, Huang Xiao felt that he was playing quite well.

"Old Lin, can you switch characters? You're a grown man, always saying 'Quick, save Hu Tao'—isn't that embarrassing?"

Halfway through the game, Chao Wendao couldn't help but complain.

"I am the number one alchemist of Danqing Peak, what else would I play if not Hu Tao?"

Third Elder Lin immediately retorted.

The character Chao Wendao chose was Jialan, while Huang Xiao chose Ji Canghai.

A top-tier lineup that would make even dogs shake their heads.

Yet, they still thought they were invincible.

Mainly because they landed in a wild area.

Most Cultivators who land in wild areas at this stage are usually not very confident in their skills.

They quickly won the first fight upon landing.

"Heh heh, these Disciples... not enough to fight."

Huang Xiao got a bit carried away, stroking his beard as he looked at Chao Wendao.

"Old Chao, in this Illusion Realm, who has the strongest strength? I'll spar with him another day."

"Illusion Realm? There's a Loose Cultivator named Bai Mu..."

"Bai Mu? Bai from 'day', Mu from 'behind the scenes'?"

"Yes."

"Is it the one in front of us...?"

"???"

...

Five minutes later.

"Is this person sick?? If you're going to kill me, just make it quick!! What's the meaning of such humiliation!!!"

Huang Xiao, who had turned into a soul tomb, roared in exasperation.

Third Elder Lin was flustered.

His spiritual umbrella pulled Chao Wendao's soul tomb, and his hand pulled Huang Xiao's soul tomb, trying to revive two at once.

The white-clothed youth not far away watched them with a smile, making them tremble with fear.

For some reason, this "Bai Mu" kept targeting Huang Xiao and Chao Wendao, killing them and then standing there waiting for Third Elder Lin to revive them.

"Get away!! I'm going to fight him to the death today!!!"

Huang Xiao had never endured such humiliation, so he activated his fire ultimate and charged forward...

...

...

Lihuo Peak, Lingyu Pavilion.

"So comfortable, so comfortable!"

Lu Ze exited the Illusion Realm, stretching lazily, still wanting more.

With two massive experience packages teaming up to play the game, it would be a disservice to his System if he didn't go and farm some experience.

So he went and aggressively farmed a wave.

One must know that personally killing Righteous Path Cultivators in the Illusion Realm had a chance to drop extra rewards.

Of course, the prerequisite was that the other party had to be convinced by him.

Apparently, Huang Xiao was still not quite convinced by him.

He had killed him so many times, yet there were no extra rewards.

However, not being convinced was also a good thing.

This way, Huang Xiao would constantly enter the Illusion Realm to regain his prestige.

Lu Ze could tell that even Huang Xiao was quite interested in this combat Illusion Realm.

With this provocation, he would definitely continue to enter "eternal calamity" in the future.

As for Huang Xiao's skill, it wasn't bad, but it wasn't top-tier either.

As long as he kept playing, he would definitely be a super experience package.

Currently, "eternal calamity" was a relatively early version.

Only the original four weapons plus the dagger had been released.

The heroes were also the first batch of old characters, plus new characters like Wuchen, Yue Mountain, and Gu Qinghan, whose appearances and skills aligned with the Tianxuan Continent.

Of course, before launch, Lu Ze made many balance adjustments.

Otherwise, it would inevitably lead to situations where a golden longsword was inferior to a white dagger...

As for the heroes, Lu Ze did not subtract from them.

Instead, he added to them.

He strengthened the stats of old characters; for example, Tianhai's deleted counter-attack golden bell shield was also returned.

Everyone being a 'three-body person' also somewhat aligned with the Cultivators' taste for destroying heaven and earth at every turn.

There was still much room for retention in terms of game mechanics.

For instance, the Rebirth Realm, the Treasure Vault, the Four Fiends...

For players in this world, just the counter-attack and battle royale gameplay were enough for them to digest for a while;

If too much was introduced at once, everyone would inevitably be confused.

Fortunately, Cultivators quickly got the hang of the combat Illusion Realm.

At this time, complaints about mediating fights and being a 'sneaky' player were increasing, and Lu Ze was already preparing to launch the Rebirth Realm mechanic ahead of schedule...

...

...

Limitless Sword Sect, Illusion Sword Peak.

"Useless!!!"

Jiang Lingfeng looked at the report submitted by Du Cheng, cursed angrily, and smashed the Illusion Tower on the table into pieces.

"Where are the Cultivators? Where have they all gone!?"

Du Cheng lowered his head, not daring to breathe loudly.

In just one week,

The daily active Cultivators in "Heavenly Dao Secret Realm," which he personally created, had massively dwindled.

Now, only a few dozen people remained inside.

And they were all trusted members of the Illusion Alliance!

"Elder Jiang, don't be angry... They, they just went to 'eternal calamity' for a taste, they'll be back soon..."

Du Cheng forced a smile, bracing himself.

"Come back?" Jiang Lingfeng was so angry he laughed instead. "Can they come back!?"

He wasn't an idiot.

Even an idiot could see the reputation of "eternal calamity"!

Even though he spent a large amount of Spirit Stones and secretly found some Loose Cultivators to stir up trouble, it still didn't make any waves.

"I don't know either... Wasn't that kid just a Nascent Soul? How could he... create such a large Illusion Realm..."

Du Cheng said with a bitter face, puzzled.

Before "eternal calamity" was launched, Du Cheng boasted that combat-type Illusion ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) Realms must have a large enough space to be enjoyable.

Relying on the assistance of a Void Refining Elder, Du Cheng naturally dared to boast.

In fact, when the 8-kilometer diameter Illusion Realm was launched, it indeed startled the Cultivators.

60 people fighting simultaneously, the gaming experience skyrocketed.

But less than a day later, "eternal calamity" was launched.

The Illusion Realm's range directly approached ten thousand meters!

A hundred players competing on the same stage!

Coupled with Lu Ze's Illusion Realm's unique art style...

It directly made "Heavenly Dao Secret Realm" look like a roadside stall.

"Ten thousand meters... Nangong Yuan? Chao Wendao? No, impossible."

Jiang Lingfeng shook his head with certainty.

Neither Nangong Yuan nor Chao Wendao cultivated Cultivation Techniques focused on Divine Sense.

As Void Refining Cultivators, it was absolutely impossible for them to create an Illusion Realm larger than his!

"Could it be that the Sect Master made a move...?"

Jiang Lingfeng came to a conclusion.

"Elder Jiang, what... what should I do!"

Du Cheng wailed.

He had invested heavily in creating "Heavenly Dao Secret Realm"!

The various Magic Treasures and Talismans consumed for an 8000-meter diameter Illusion Realm were by no means small!

To attract more Cultivators to join, their Illusion Realm was distributed for free.

Du Cheng was waiting to follow the example of "three kingdoms kill" and ""Clash of Immortals and Demons"," planning to make money by selling content after the user base grew, to cover his losses.

And if all went well, he would make a huge profit.

Who would have thought...

It cooled down so quickly.

He lost a fortune!

"What to do?"

Jiang Lingfeng glared at Du Cheng helplessly.

"If you can't create... can't you copy?"
