1446 A New Era on Earth
Upon returning to his living quarters, Yuan encountered ifeng waiting at the front door.
"Are you waiting for soone?" Yuan asked her.
"Yes, I was waiting for you since I noticed you had left." ifeng nodded.
"Did sothing happen?"
"Yes, but it's nothing bad… for now."
Yuan frowned slightly upon hearing this and said, "Let's go inside first. Tell everything."
Once they were seated inside, ifeng spoke, "The others are already aware of this so you're the only one who is still out of the loop—unless Liya told you."
He quickly shook his head.
"She didn't tell anything."
ifeng proceeded to show her palm to Yuan and continued to speak, "Shortly after the system update, people noticed they could use the system even when they are logged out of Cultivation Online."
"What?!" Yuan's eyes widened with shock after learning of this news.
"Watch this."
The next mont, an item that resembled a storage pouch suddenly materialized out of thin air and appeared on ifeng's palm.
"We can bring certain items from Cultivation Online to Earth now. This includes treasures, dicine, and most importantly, cultivation resources. The entire world's amid an evolution as we speak."
Yuan sat there with a dazed expression on his face as he contemplated this new information.
Soti later, Yuan flipped his palm and retrieved a Monster Core that exuded the spiritual energy of a peak Spirit Grandmaster.
"It actually works…"
Then, without hesitation, he moved the Monster Core to his lips before swallowing it casually.
Yuan could imdiately feel his spiritual energy soaring, as well as his cultivation base.
A few monts later, Yuan muttered, "Character status."
Ding!
[Cultivation: 9th Level Spirit Grandmaster]
[Bloodline: Immortal Monarch Bloodline]
[Physique: Heaven Refining Physique, Golden Immortal Physique]
"So it's a simplified version, huh?"
He looked at ifeng and asked, "What's going on with the world now that this is possible?"
"Well, for starters, those who have the capability started consuming powerful cultivation resources left and right, causing their cultivation base to soar. I believe the strongest Cultivator is a Spirit Lord at the mont, which is a massive increase compared to before the system update, where the strongest Cultivator was only a Spirit Master—not including you and the others."
Yuan nodded and asked, "What about ixiu and the others?"
"They've decided to wait for you before deciding on anything."
Yuan showed a bittersweet smile and sighed, "They shouldn't need to worry about and do what they believe is right."
"And why didn't Liya tell about this? She could've at least ntioned it before I left."
"Anyways, tell them to do whatever they want the next ti you see them. I'll be leaving the Dragon Spiral Mountain for a bit."
"Where are you going?" ifeng asked.
"It's been so ti since I saw Yu Rou, so I'm going to give her a visit."
"Are you going alone?"
"Yes, I am going to fly straight there and back."
Soti later, Yuan asked, "By the way, if we can bring things from the Nine Heavens to Earth, can we also bring things from Earth to the Nine Heavens?"
"People have tried that but were unable to do so. Even the things that can be brought to Earth are limited, so we cannot bring anything we want."
"What's the limit?"
"Treasures Divine-grade and above, as well as so of the more powerful cultivation resources."
Hearing this, Yuan imdiately tried to retrieve his Divine-
grade treasures, and sure enough, he was unable to.
"I guess they don't want us to progress too fast over here, but it doesn't an things won't change in the future. We should also start preparing for this change. Who knows what people will start doing with their newfound strength? This world is too small for any Cultivator nonsense, especially as the average cultivation increases."
Compared to the Nine Heavens, Earth's size was akin to a grain of sand in a desert. If Cultivators started going crazy with martial techniques and powerful treasures, Earth wouldn't last long and would be destroyed even before the Lord's formation collapsed.
"How are the Cultivators' Association and the governnts around the world dealing with this change?" he then asked.
"Well… they're trying to do sothing. Regulations are becoming stricter, and they're thinking of restricting everyone's cultivation base to a certain level so that we won't be able to do too much damage even if we tried, but I'm not sure how they'll be able to regulate that. It seems impossible."
Yuan rubbed his eyes and sighed, "Looks like I have to speed things up and try to reconnect the Nine Heavens and Earth, but that will also have its own problem. I will speak with the Lord when I return. Let see for myself what the world is like nowadays first."
ifeng nodded and followed him outside.
"Stay safe, Yuan. It'll be a lot more dangerous out there now that everyone has access to powerful cultivation resources and treasures. You won't be as invincible as before." ifeng warned him.
Yuan chuckled, "We'll see about that."
Soti later, Yuan retrieved the Empyrean Overlord and jumped onto it before soaring into the sky, quickly disappearing from Dragon Spiral Mountain.
"Wow! Although the spiritual energy in this world is pathetic, it has a very beautiful scenery!" Yu Ning exclaid in excitent as they soared through several cities.
Yuan showed a bittersweet smile and said, "If we want to preserve these sceneries, we need to find a way to stop those with bad intentions from damaging them. Unfortunately, that is easier said than done."
"That is true. In fact, I can easily cover the entire world with my divine sense alone. This place is truly too small. If a fight between two Spirit Kings broke out, it'd be an environntal disaster." Yu Ning said.
"Unless they are insane, I doubt anyone would do anything too crazy… but then again, there are plenty of insane individuals out there…" Yuan sighed.
With the rapid changes happening on Earth, Yuan started pondering thods to keep his friends and family safe even in this new era.
