352: Player's Ambition

"Huh? Void Refinement?"

Little Cabbage was stunned on the spot.

Ye Hei and others didn't know much about the Xuanhuan World, so their reaction wasn't very strong.

But players like This Time Bu Ge immediately showed deep shock on their faces.

No, they just started and ran into Void Refinement.

Is this right?

To what extent has the combat power of this Burial Emperor Star inflated?

This Time Bu Ge quickly reviewed the cultivation Realms in his mind.

The Immortal Foundation Golden Core Dao Lineage, which is also the Five Elements Dao Lineage, has internal grade divisions within each Realm, but overall, it still maintains the chasm-like difference between major Realms, so it can be divided into one to nine grades.

Ninth Grade Qi Refining, Eighth Grade Mortal Foundation, Seventh Grade Immortal Foundation.

Sixth Grade Core Formation, Fifth Grade Golden Core, Fourth Grade Nascent Soul.

Third Grade Soul Transformation, Second Grade Void Refinement.

As for the First Grade, players still don't know the specific Realm name.

The Immortal Foundation Dao Lineage is actually quite special compared to other Dao Lineages; the Eighth Grade and Seventh Grade actually both belong to the "Foundation Establishment" level, while the Sixth Grade Core Formation is merely an intermediate Realm during transition.

This leads to Cultivators who practice this Dao Lineage having to directly cross from Ninth Grade to Seventh Grade, and then from Seventh Grade to Fifth Grade.

Therefore, Breakthrough is extremely difficult, and every Golden Core Cultivator who reaches Fifth Grade is a hegemon, possessing the ability to play a game of chess.

But This Time Bu Ge discovered that everything on Burial Emperor Star seemed different.

It was understandable that Jian Wanzhong, this twelve-year-old Young Master, was a Fifth Grade, after all, he was a Young Master from an ancient Family.

But what was bizarre was that all four guards beside him were Fifth Grade.

This indicated that on Burial Emperor Star, within ancient Families, even achieving Fifth Grade cultivation was merely the status of a servant.

The Clan Chief's Second Grade strength further verified this point; the top combat power of ancient Families far surpassed Fifth Grade.

This meant that even the top players from Prison Land, if they came here, would have to honestly start as subordinates.

'Good heavens...'

This Time Bu Ge gasped, greatly shocked.

What kind of bizarre combat power inflation was this?

After his Feeling, This Time Bu Ge suddenly thought of a key point:

Since the combat power of Burial Emperor Star was so inflated, wouldn't its resources be even richer?

From the fact that Jian Wanzhong could casually give them cultivation methods, it was clear that treasures that would cause bloody massacres among Golden Core Cultivators in Prison Land were simply common goods here.

Besides resources, This Time Bu Ge also keenly realized something even more important: intelligence.

Burial Emperor Star, with its concentration of powerful individuals, could definitely provide more intelligence than Prison Land.

Various Dao Lineage Legacies, Secret Realm secrets, and a hundred arts of cultivation that were hard to find in Prison Land, he could easily obtain on Burial Emperor Star, and then sell this freely acquired intelligence at a high price to his fellow villagers in Prison Land to profit.

'This...'

As soon as he thought of this, This Time Bu Ge's heart immediately surged with excitement.

He looked at the other players.

The players were also shocked, and many were discussing how to curry favor with Jian Wanzhong to get a chance to join the Jian Family.

Clearly, those who had survived the slaughter in the dense forest until now were not fools; they all discovered the advantages of starting on Burial Emperor Star.

Only Little Cabbage, who had run out with This Time Bu Ge, was still naive, merely feeling emotional and shocked, but had not discovered the advantages of the special starting point.

This Time Bu Ge spoke up to remind everyone:

"I think this Jian Wanzhong should be arranged for us by the planner, similar to the state-stabilizing seal; both are 'mentors' for us newcomers."

"The Jian Family should also be similar to the Immortal Dynasty, and will be the novice faction that we join."

All the players nodded.

They followed Jian Wanzhong and others to meet with the Jian Family Clan Chief, and incidentally used the "encrypted communication" feature that came with player privileges.

"I think we can ingratiate ourselves with Jian Wanzhong."

"Yes, I see he's quite generous. We should just be passersby in his eyes, right? He even gave us cultivation methods. If we really become his subordinates or confidants, what kind of things would we be given?"

"Tsk tsk, the state-stabilizing seal is trash compared to him; you still have to do quests to earn points for rewards."

"He seems to be just a Young Master, not the Clan Chief, right? So he can't make decisions for the Jian Family?"

"I wonder what kind of person the Jian Family Clan Chief is. What if he's difficult to deal with?"

"Even if he's easy to deal with, it's no good. He's a Second Grade powerhouse comparable to Void Refinement. We can only be dogs. I don't think we should let him be the Clan Chief."

"Alright, we have a main quest! Help this Jian Wanzhong become the Clan Chief, and then the Jian Family will be ours!"

"Hey, hey, that's a Second Grade powerhouse, okay? I don't think there's any need to help Jian Wanzhong; we can just suck up to the Clan Chief directly."

"It's the same. Suck up to both of them. I think as long as we show the advantages of player privileges, we definitely won't be short on resources."

When the players thought of the wonderful future, they immediately beamed with joy, and some even couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The guard glanced at them, feeling very puzzled.

Their speed was very fast, constantly flying through the wilderness, and soon they arrived at an area of sandstone.

Towering sandstone resembled huge yellow-brown mountains, and on the tallest of these mountains, a person stood holding a sword.

That person wore ancient-style clothing, overall like a clean white Daoist robe, embroidered with Dragon patterns, and the corners of the robe were shaped like sword edges, giving off a sharp and unapproachable sense of pressure.

He also wore a tall crown on his head, with a full forehead and piercing eyes. He held a square Dao sword in his right hand and formed a hand seal with his left hand in front of him, exuding immense majesty.

The four guards stepped forward first to salute.

Although Jian Wanzhong was a child, he clearly showed joy upon seeing his father, but he patiently bowed and saluted, calling out "Clan Chief."

When This Time Bu Ge saw this, he couldn't help but nod slightly in his heart.

As an intelligence-focused UP host, he was a meticulous player and had a deeper understanding of some of the etiquette and systems of the Xuanhuan World.

From Jian Wanzhong's performance, it was clear that he was being groomed to be the Clan Chief; his every word and action exuded the demeanor of a young Clan Chief.

Given this, embracing Jian Wanzhong's thigh would definitely not be a loss.

"Kneel!"

Suddenly, the Jian Family Clan Chief spoke sharply.

He swept the long sword in his hand, and it landed directly on the sandstone.

A sword strike from a Second Grade powerhouse landed, but the sandstone was completely unharmed, showing no traces.

But after only a moment, a ripple of void suddenly appeared, and a yellow sand Dragon tens of miles long abruptly emerged, its body already vertically cut in half, without making any sound.

As the yellow sand Dragon died, the surrounding dusty aura seemed to fade a lot, the sky-high yellow sand quietly fell, and even the wind stopped.

This was actually a great demon that could interfere with the surrounding world.

Jian Wanzhong didn't hesitate, and with a thud, he knelt on the sandstone.

All the players were bewildered, not knowing what had happened.

"It was a Family favor to let you carry the jian xie sword, but you became arrogant because of it, even forcing your way into the Ancient Dense Forest with the sword. What if you had lost the jian xie sword in the dense forest?"

The Jian Family Clan Chief's tone was stern, not giving Jian Wanzhong time to explain. He then turned his head to look at the group of players.

"And these people, brought by the nine dragons coffin pull, their origin unknown, their intentions impure. You actually brought them to search for Dragon descendants and even taught them cultivation methods. Do you truly think you are the Clan Chief?"

"This child would not dare."

Jian Wanzhong could only apologize, his bowed waist even more bent.

This Time Bu Ge and the other players watched this scene, all frowning.

In the players' communication channel, the screen was already flooded.

"Damn, who the hell is this guy?"

"I can only say he perfectly fits the stereotype of a Clan Chief of a large Family in a Xuanhuan World."

"This old geezer, we must take him down."

"With him around, I don't see any hope of joining the Jian Family, let alone resources."

"This old geezer must be taken down!"
