Sometimes, having too many Divine Cultivation Techniques isn't a good thing. It's truly hard to give up on any of them. It's like choosing between lolis and older sisters—even if you want both, you have to take them one by one.
Fang Han had just uploaded a full 300 techniques. Unless one possessed the strength of 300 oxen, cultivating them would require a gradual approach. At times like this, choice is very important.
Supplementing weaknesses or enhancing strengths—the group members had to choose. Shi Jian's suggestion was flawless. They each selected their priority Daos and began to cultivate.
With everyone busy, the group fell silent once again.
Shi Jian, with nothing to do, wandered around the rebuilt Stone Nation. After a period of development, it had begun to take shape. The damaged city was almost entirely repaired, and its streets flowed with endless traffic. The Qi of the Mortal World was strong here.
In addition to the many members of the Sinful Race, people from external forces were also present in the city, including quite a few strong individuals. Clearly, they had all come for the Shi brothers.
The city, and indeed the entire Three Thousand Dao States, had not been peaceful recently. People were discussing the true vastness of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands and the ancient lands beyond their own. The arrival of those from outside the domain had a significant impact on the major sects.
Even the older generation of experts wanted to cross the Void Realm to see the situation for themselves, but the teleportation arrays of the Three Thousand States were incomplete. Most could not be activated, leaving the people powerless to glimpse the outside world.
Now, the Shi Clan's strength had begun to take shape. With the Heavenly God Fruits brought back by Shi Jian, the clan had cultivated many Heavenly God powerhouses. Coupled with the allegiance of Sinful Race members at the sect master level, he wouldn't need to worry about an attack on the Shi Clan after he left for Emperor Pass.
Just to be safe, he would have Liu Shen leave a Clone behind. That would be even more foolproof.
After checking on the Shi Clan, Shi Jian returned to the palace. He did not continue to cultivate in seclusion. Instead, he waited quietly for the chat group to upgrade.
The progress bar had already reached its end.
[Xiao Yan: "99.99%! Why isn't it 100% yet? Hurry up and upgrade… I wonder what new functions the chat group will have?"]
[Meng Qi: "This upgrade, won't it add an administrator position? And won't two new members join?"]
[Fang Han: "Every time the chat group upgrades, the new functions are very practical."]
The group members discussed eagerly. The chat group had already upgraded twice, adding the ability to borrow power and an offline function. Both were very useful. Compared to potential new members, they were more interested in the new functions.
Amidst their anticipation, the progress bar finally reached its end.
[The chat group has met the upgrade requirements and is beginning to upgrade!]
A message flashed.
[Chat group upgrade successful, Myriad Worlds Instance Dungeon function enabled.]
[Added a new administrator position.]
[Group administrators have the right to invite one new member to the group each year.]
A series of messages flashed, and everyone's eyes lit up. A new function? Myriad Worlds Instance Dungeon? It sounded like it had potential.
Shi Jian immediately checked the function's description. After reading it, his expression was a bit strange. This Myriad Worlds Instance Dungeon… was a bit shameless. The chat group was already overpowered, and now it was stuffing in more cheats.
[Shi Jian: "This new function is a bit awesome!"]
[Xiao Yan: "Myriad Worlds Instance Dungeon? What does it do? It sounds like it has a lot of potential."]
[Meng Qi: "Feeling like a very incredible function has been enabled?"]
Everyone could see the new function but didn't know its purpose yet. They needed to explore it themselves. Only group administrators would know instantly.
[Shi Jian: "This function is indeed a bit broken. It can help us transmigrate through the Myriad Worlds. It's like going to other worlds to do quests, and completing them earns rewards of Heavenly Dao Power from those worlds."]
[Shi Jian: "It's like they stuffed a System for transmigrating through the Myriad Worlds into the chat group."]
Shi Jian explained the new function. The group members were dumbfounded.
[Xiao Yan: "That's so outrageous? What's the use of World Power?"]
[Shi Jian: "It's similar to Karma Power, a jack-of-all-trades. It can replace all cultivation resources, achieve effects similar to [Hundredfold Comprehension Ability], and even improve the quality of weapons and Medicinal Pills. Anyway, that's what the chat group told me."]
[Luo Feng: "6"]
[Meng Qi: "6"]
[Fang Han: "6"]
…
The group was speechless. This new function was hard to comment on. Was it great? Yes. But was it appropriate? After a moment of silence, they happily accepted it.
This function was very strong. Transmigrating through the Myriad Worlds to do quests could increase their experience, let them see different worlds and cultivation systems, and earn Heavenly Dao Power. The effect was indeed good. They just didn't know what the "doing quests" part entailed.
[Shi Jian: "This new function is a bit troublesome; let's study it later. Let's choose the second administrator first. The administrator can invite new members."]
[Shi Jian: "Let's pull the new members into the group first!"]
[Xiao Yan: "Okay, who should be the second administrator?"]
[Yang Qi: "Normally, I'd contend for this position. However, Fang Han just made a great contribution by uploading the 300 Daos. Although there's no hierarchy, distinguishing rewards and punishments is important. I vote for Fang Han!"]
[Meng Qi: "I also vote for Fang Han!"]
[Shi Jian: "That's what I think too. Of course, if any brother is willing to go into seclusion for tens of thousands of years, become invincible, and come back to help us… then I'd vote for you. Otherwise, I'll vote for Fang Han!"]
[Xiao Yan: "The abacus beads are practically bouncing off my face! If I could become invincible in your worlds just by cultivating to the Dominator stage, I'd do it. But for now, I vote for Fang Han; he has everyone's support!"]
[Li Changshou: "I haven't contributed much since joining, but I've received many benefits. I'm not worthy. I also vote for Fang Han!"]
[Luo Feng: "I also vote for Fang Han!"]
[Lin Dong: "I have no objection. Let's just vote for Fang Han."]
Everyone unanimously agreed. The last time the group upgraded, they were all vying for the position just for fun, like a competitive game between men.
However, as Yang Qi said, Fang Han had just made a great contribution. He had treated them to a hotpot of cultivation techniques; arguing about who was better while eating was pointless. The answer was self-evident.
Fang Han chuckled. [Fang Han: "Since you brothers are so kind, I will accept it without reservation. I will be the second administrator of this chat group!"]
After his response, everyone cast their votes.
[Group member Fang Han passed the new administrator vote unanimously.]
[Group member Fang Han becomes an administrator.]
[Shi Jian: "Since Fang Han is the new administrator, let's start inviting new members."]
Shi Jian looked at the invitation function.
[Administrator Shi Jian is inviting new members.]
[New member information detected. Please choose, Administrator.]
[Shen Gongbao]
[Yang Jian]
[Shi Hao]
[Lin Lei]
Four names appeared. Shi Jian was slightly stunned. The other names were fine, but what the hell was Shi Hao doing there? Was this the Shi Hao he knew?
While Shi Jian was still in a daze, Fang Han also began inviting new members. The function had automatically appeared in his mind.
[Group Administrator Fang Han is inviting new members.]
[Administrator information detected. Please choose, Group Administrator.]
[Qin Mu]
[Lin Feng]
[Yun Che]
[Tang San]
Fang Han looked at the four names, completely bewildered. He wasn't familiar with any of them. How was he supposed to choose?
Wait. Shi Jian seemed to have mentioned this Tang San before. Extremely weak, a user of hidden weapons. Shi Jian had jokingly called him a Xuanhuan floor tile. Why did he appear again? Wasting a candidate slot!
[Fang Han: "I have four potential new members here. One is Tang San, who appeared before. The other three are Qin Mu, Lin Feng, and Yun Che. Brother Shi, are you familiar with them?"]
[Xiao Yan: "Tang San? That hidden-weapon-wielding floor tile? Why him again? Pure disgust."]
[Shi Jian: "How dare you slander my God King Lord! Watch my Blue Silver Grass Entanglement! Invincible Golden Body!"]
[Fang Han: "…"]
[Yang Qi: "…"]
[Shi Jian: "Cough, just kidding. Besides Tang San, I have some thoughts on the other three."]
[Shi Jian: "First, Qin Mu. He should be from a novel called Tales of Herding Gods. His world is quite good. The cultivation system is called the Heavenly Palace Heavenly Court Cultivation System!"]
[Shi Jian: "The world level is a top-tier Great World. Qin Mu is the protagonist. He cultivates a technique called the Hegemon Physique Three Elixir Technique. It was originally an ordinary technique, but he was told it was an unparalleled Divine Technique. He was also told his ordinary physique was a rare Hegemon Physique."]
[Shi Jian: "He believed it and cultivated with supreme will, eventually transforming his non-physique into a true Hegemon Physique. His technique became terrifyingly strong."]
Shi Jian began to explain the world of Tales of Herding Gods.
[Shi Jian: "This world's cultivation system is about developing the human body's Treasure Troves. They believe the body contains seven great Treasure Troves: Spirit Embryo, Five Luminaries, Six Harmonies, Seven Stars, Heavenly Human, Life and Death, and Divine Bridge. The cultivation process is to continuously break the barriers of these Divine Treasures to release their power. Their breakthroughs are called 'Wall-breaking.' It's a good world with many techniques and resources!"]
As Shi Jian described, the group gained a general understanding.
[Xiao Yan: "The human body has seven great Treasure Troves that are normally sealed? This concept is quite interesting!"]
[Yang Qi: "There are indeed endless Treasure Troves within the human body. This system has similarities with the God Elephant Suppressing Prison Force, as both involve developing the body's latent power. The direction is different, but it can be used for reference!"]
[Fang Han: "Indeed, the mysteries within the human body are too profound. This world's cultivation system is interesting!"]
Everyone responded one after another.
[Shi Jian: "This world is somewhat similar to the one from After Ascension. Not the cultivation systems, but the predicament of the Human Race."]
[Shi Jian: "Both are at a disadvantage, but in this world, it's not because the Human Race is weak. It's because their potential is so strong that they are feared by the Divine Spirits of their world!"]
