Chapter 309: Chapter 180: High Level World - Xuanji Realm_2

These tasks definitely pose a challenge; it’s just that the players all love them—who doesn’t want to become stronger?

For this very reason, the classifications within the Xuanji Realm couldn’t keep up with the players’ level of strength.

However, this world does have future developments. If players reach level 300, they can ascend to a higher realm, survive tribulations, continue to upgrade, and even obtain additional rewards. It’s a journey from the beginning to the very end.

But at the current stage, players are at most around level 50 to 60. They can still get by in this world.

He couldn’t accurately estimate specific levels, but they were roughly in that range.

"Players don’t need to worry. The Xuanji Realm is so vast, and with other worlds that opened at the same time and older worlds, there are definitely players around. But meeting them isn’t going to be easy."

At this stage, hardly anyone goes to the advanced worlds with a significant level difference. For instance, the Two-Vein Martial World, even though it has changed, its value is too insignificant.

In the advanced worlds with higher levels, the players are too scattered. You might only see a hundred or so players enter at a time, and some only go out of curiosity, so their impact isn’t as noticeable as it was in the earlier worlds.

"So, if you’re going to choose, it’s better to aim for a renown sect... and opt for one of its branches." Gu Shanhai did want to join a renown sect, but the problem was they wouldn’t accept him.

These prestigious sects generally recruit disciples in only two situations. The first is selecting children with good root bones, usually no older than ten, whom they can nurture with great care after joining.

The other is through internal recommendations, which is for those who have exceeded the age limit. Prestigious sects won’t accept them, but if one demonstrates their talent within a branch of the sect, they can be recommended to the main sect and join. However, the vetting process for this type of applicant is a bit more stringent.

Gu Shanhai could only take the latter route; the former was too troublesome.

Strict vetting was fine by him. With the pages of the Previous Life Biluo and Time History Book, he could disguise himself. Plus, without being partly datafied, as long as he found a downtrodden branch of a major sect, he could blend in.

The treatment was uncertain, but it would be better than that of a Loose Cultivator. At least he would have a background.

He also had a certain estimate of his own strength. At his limit, he could reach the late stages of the Purple Mansion Stage. Normally, he would be at the Foundation Establishment Stage, brushing against the Purple Mansion Stage. In his usual state, he was at the Qi Refinement Realm.

It was like doing a three-tier jump in strength daily; mainly because he habitually played down his abilities and took others by surprise. He wasn’t like those protagonists with taunting faces, who were challenged or opposed by others wherever they went without any apparent reason.

Gu Shanhai was more like an average Joe. Otherwise, his talent in his previous life wouldn’t have been the very ordinary ability to reduce his presence and enmity. He truly had the look of a common man—if thrown into a crowd, a casual glance wouldn’t pick him out.

"Switching worlds, I’ll have to adapt all over again, tsk, this world is much stronger than the previous Causality World." Gu Shanhai watched on the page of the Time History Book as a new identity began to form.

The identity he filled out was simple: a young man preparing to join the Immortal Dao Sect.

He let the pages of the Time History Book generate the rest on their own.

"Unconsciously, I’ve become a young man. If I mess around in this world for another ten years or so, I’ll be middle-aged." Gu Shanhai felt somewhat reflective; time had passed so quickly, and he didn’t care much about his appearance.

It took about a minute for the identity to be successfully generated.

[Gu Shanhai (a refugee who narrowly escaped death when his village was destroyed by magical beasts)]

"This identity is a bit half-hearted, but free is good enough," Gu Shanhai smiled. He didn’t care how luxurious his current identity was; he even wanted to have the status of a sect leader’s uncle, but was that possible?

What he had in his hand was just a single page, not the complete Time History Book. He hadn’t even heard of it in his previous life, let alone know where to collect the rest. It was probably because Jiu Juez, the expert in Outer Elixir Technique, had smashed through who knows how many worlds to come by it. How could its place of origin possibly be found?

Making do with what’s available is good enough; no need to be picky.

"Next, I’ll use a forged past life as Previous Life Biluo to pose as a reincarnation of a powerful being. This way, I can better cover up my own situation."

I don’t need to worry about the reincarnation of a strong being facing difficulties; rather, large sects actually like such people. After reincarnation, they have ways to make this life overshadow the previous one. By then, they will directly harvest a reserve of a powerful person with the memories, aptitude, and experience of a great being.

"This is even slower... With this efficiency, it seems like it can’t be completed without at least half a month."

Gu Shanhai looked at the disguise progress of his supposed Previous Life Biluo, which was exceedingly slow. Fortunately, this was normal; although the Spirit Plant of his supposed previous life was of extraordinary origin, it was still no match for a page from the Time History Book. It was normal for it to be a little slow.

Moreover, his previous identity was false in itself. If Gu Shanhai had requested a commoner’s past life, then it could have been successfully faked in just an hour.

But he wanted the reincarnation of a powerful being, which naturally required adequate time. The former task was delicate, while the latter was like casting from a direct mold.

What’s the point of asking for a commoner’s past life? Ridiculous.

"Alright, generate away at your own pace since I don’t need this identity right now." Gu Shanhai’s identity was kept as a chip to be used later, not for immediate use, so he wasn’t particularly in a hurry.

"Next, I’ll spend some life force to find a few suitable sects, preferably branches of larger ones to check out."

Gu Shanhai’s plan was simple: he was not in a hurry to gather information. The place had neither villages ahead nor stores behind, and even his city positioning spell couldn’t locate the nearest city. Of course, it might also be due to the incompatibility with this world, and he might need to make some fine adjustments to the data. That wasn’t urgent as long as the effects on him such as gaining an edge over the enemy, insight into combat tactics, and the Oracle’s Eye, among other Prophetic Divination Spells, kept functioning consistently without failing.

"The difference is too huge. Even Xuanwei Sect’s spells, when placed in this world, have at most about a 3% similarity rate; the Internal Organ Divination Skill is downright less than 1%."

"Fortunately, they still work, but I’ll have to spend more life force. After finding a master, I’ll learn some of this world’s Destiny-related Cultivation Techniques to make up for it."

The vast difference between worlds means they can’t be exactly the same. In my past life, I learned various skills such as prophetic divination and deductive forecasting, not just one technique – I had to learn many, eventually blending them to form a system with great usability and compatibility, strong enough to thrive anywhere.

The most I’ve experienced in the past was just two worlds that had related destiny-oriented systems. If my system had been universally applicable across all worlds, I would have been unbeatable long ago; there would be no need to perfect my "Green Emperor Longevity Scripture" and Magic Domain.

"Damn, does this world demand this much?" Gu Shanhai discovered that the amount of life force required exceeded his expectations.

In his previous life, he had been here a few times, staying just for ten days or half a month without lingering for too long. Plus, back then, he was just an ordinary player who followed the Beast Taming Sect’s path of cultivation. He came here to capture spirit beasts and left after he caught them, so he didn’t have a deep understanding, and the intelligence he gathered was only partial, without the detailed information he had obtained from the prior three great worlds.

The reason for coming here in this life, of course, was because the system of this world was very compatible with his Qi Refining Fifth Layer·Outer Pill.

The Outer Elixir Technique was different from the Inner Core Skill; one required spending money, the other effort. This world was particularly suitable for spending money: consume everything, digest, and assimilate to become powerful. What was plundered wasn’t ordinary at all, but the entire world, naturally making it exceptionally beneficial. More importantly, there was no system like karmic retribution here, at most some minor tribulations.

"Sigh, a thousand years for a thousand years. Don’t even think about multiple sects, just find one that suits me." Gu Shanhai knew well why the charge was expensive; it wasn’t because of the world’s malice towards cultivators. The normal price would probably be just about a year’s worth.

Besides, Gu Shanhai suspected that it wasn’t just the high cost. If mishandled, the backlash incurred could be more severe than in other worlds.
