Chapter 291: Another Human Dao Supreme Treasure

After receiving his orders, Guangchengzi quickly searched for the Nanji Immortal within the Yuanling Immortal Net.

As the Vice Sect Leader of the Chan Sect, the Nanji Immortal was naturally also paying attention to the competition performance of the disciples under his sect.

Not long after, Guangchengzi found the Nanji Immortal, and the two traveled together through the Yuanling Immortal Net, observing the situations in different competition arenas.

As a result, upon looking, they discovered that the performance of the Chan Sect disciples was truly not optimistic.

Most of them were too arrogant and underestimated their opponents, leading to poor performances, with quite a few even being directly eliminated.

They could not help but feel depressed; they had originally intended to lead the Chan Sect disciples to show off their might in this grand competition, but in this situation, they feared that before they could show any might, they would instead become the laughingstock of the Great Desolation! "No wonder the Sect Leader told us to drive the eliminated disciples back to reflect on their mistakes!"

Because of this, they dared not be careless at all, sternly rebuking those eliminated disciples and driving them back, then urgently summoning those who had luckily passed the first stage of the competition, preparing to sound a warning for everyone to avoid losing face in the next stage.

Of course, because the competition was still ongoing, most arenas had not yet produced results, so they only managed to summon a small portion of the Chan Sect disciples.

On the other side, Yuanshi Tianzun met up with the Saints of the Heavenly Dao Faction, such as Laozi and Tongtian.

He observed carefully and discovered that apart from Laozi, Tongtian, Jieyin, Zhunti, Kunpeng, and Minghe all had rather unsightly expressions.

They must have just gone to watch their own disciples' competitions, but clearly, they must have also seen some things they were not satisfied with.

Seeing this situation, Yuanshi felt relieved.

As for why Laozi was expressionless, it was mainly because he pursued the Way of Inaction and did not show his emotions on his face. Moreover, the disciples under the Ren Sect were few, and Xuandu had always been very reliable, so their performance was likely good.

However, the several Heavenly Dao Saints were also very tacit, none of them mentioning the competition just now, but instead discussing the countermeasures for what was to come.

Tongtian Jiaozhu spoke first: "This move by Lu Yun seems simple, but it actually hides deep mysteries."

Laozi nodded in agreement and said in a deep voice: "His Yuanling Immortal Net not only allows all living beings in the Great Desolation to witness the grand occasion of the competition, but to a certain extent, it also breaks the boundaries of cultivation and race, allowing all living beings to participate in this grand event equally."

Yuanshi Tianzun gave a cold snort and said: "Hmph, he wants to use this opportunity to win over hearts and consolidate his status in the Three Realms. Unfortunately, no matter how well he calculates, he should not think he can easily shake the foundation of my Heavenly Dao."

Zhunti gave a faint smile and said: "The two senior brothers need not be overly worried. Although this move by Lu Yun is clever, it may not necessarily go exactly as he wishes. After all, the human heart is complex and changeable, not something he alone can easily control."

Upon hearing this, Jieyin nodded slightly and said: "Junior brother's words are reasonable."

Kunpeng glanced at the two of them with some disdain and said: "This poor Daoist feels that before we completely find the weaknesses of this Yuanling Immortal Net, we had best wait and see, looking for a suitable opportunity to resolve his layout."

He had suffered quite a few losses at Lu Yun's hands and dared not underestimate Lu Yun in the slightest.

Minghe also echoed: "This poor Daoist agrees with Kunpeng's view!"

Laozi looked left and right, not seeing the arrival of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, so as the senior brother, he had to be the one to issue orders: "Since that is the case, then we shall continue to investigate other conditions of the Yuanling Immortal Net!"

All the Saints nodded one after another, and then scattered again.

On the other side, although Lu Yun was far above the clouds, he seemed to have the movements of the Heavenly Dao Saints at his fingertips.

He smiled slightly and thought to himself: "This game has only just begun."

This Yuanling Immortal Net of his was naturally not that simple.

This was actually another supreme treasure he had refined for the Human Dao Faction! Using the wishes and beliefs of all living beings as a guide, the Yuanling Immortal Net was not only a stage to display strength, but also the key point for his far-reaching layout to promote the prosperity of Humanity.

Subsequently, Lu Yun turned his gaze toward Hongjun and discovered that he was currently watching a certain competition arena intently.

He looked carefully and realized that there happened to be several members of the Transmigration Chat Group in this arena.

But these few members of the Transmigration Chat Group had chosen very different ways to pass this competition.

In this arena, several members from the Transmigration Chat Group displayed their own unique strategies and styles, as if it were a collision and fusion of the wisdom from their respective worlds.

These group members were Liu Chongxiao, Xiao Ling'er, and Lin Yan.

These three were all old acquaintances of Lu Yun; he had known them since he first joined the Transmigration Chat Group.

Among them, Liu Chongxiao and Xiao Ling'er were old group members from the same batch, and speaking of it, they were Lu Yun's seniors, and they had been very enthusiastic in offering him quite a few suggestions back then. It was just that Lu Yun had good luck and his strength soared with the help of the system, so now he had instead become an existence they looked up to.

As for Lin Yan, she had entered the Transmigration Chat Group in the same batch as Lu Yun, but her luck was truly far worse than Lu Yun's, and even worse than everyone else's.

For her newbie welfare draw, she had transmigrated to a doomsday world and actually drew a divine artifact like "lace"—Lu Yun still remembered this matter to this day! This was also a meme that many old members of the Chat Group had deep memories of!

But if one were to say Lin Yan had bad luck, after drawing such an eccentric item back then, she did not die during the Newbie Period, but instead survived and had lived until now.

Looking at her appearance, she had developed quite well in her original world, and now she was almost becoming the big sister of the human faction in that doomsday world!

Even in this battlefield at this moment, Lin Yan's performance was the most eye-catching.

Because her style was truly too different from everyone else's!

Having transmigrated to a doomsday world, although she had also embarked on the path of cultivation because of Lu Yun, apart from cultivation, she had also gotten herself numerous pieces of equipment.

A suit of battle armor full of sci-fi aesthetics, a battle saber on her back, and various gun and cannon-style weapons on her body—her style was completely different from the other Great Desolation contestants.

At this moment, Lin Yan was covered in streamlined battle armor, flashing with a cold metallic luster. While others could not exert their full strength under the cultivation restriction of the Human Immortal Realm, she relied on advanced technological equipment and combat techniques to stir up a mechanical storm in this Secret Realm.

"Boom—!"

A group of Great Desolation exotic beasts swarmed over.

A group of Great Desolation contestants were all terrified, but Lin Yan did not have the slightest panic.

She quickly activated the defense system on her battle armor, and a layer of energy shield instantly wrapped her inside, easily blocking the attacks of the exotic beasts.

Immediately following, she flipped her wrist, and the energy gun in her hand turned into a brilliant ray of light, precisely hitting the few exotic beasts charging at the front, instantly killing them.

Other contestants saw Lin Yan solve the exotic beasts so easily and cast surprised gazes one after another. Among them were many cultivators with profound cultivation, but after their cultivation was suppressed, they appeared somewhat inadequate in the face of Lin Yan's combat style, which was a perfect combination of technology and power.

Lin Yan did not stop; she continued to shuttle through the battlefield, using various high-tech equipment on her battle armor to easily deal with various challenges. Her speed, power, and reaction ability were brought into full play at this moment.

"This... what kind of magic treasure is this? It is actually so miraculous!" A cultivator looked at Lin Yan in shock and muttered to himself. They clearly had never thought that a magic treasure could turn into this form.

"This is not a magic treasure, but technological power from another world." Lin Yan laughed out loud.

As time passed, Lin Yan relied on the powerful strength of her sci-fi battle armor to pass through obstacles and quickly approached the exit of the Secret Realm.

And those contestants who had originally held her in contempt could only look at her back at this time, their hearts filled with helplessness and frustration.

Finally, amidst a burst of exclamations, Lin Yan was the first to rush out of the exit of the Secret Realm, successfully advancing to the next stage.

"Truly incredible!"

"That woman wearing strange armor is actually so powerful!"

"Yes, her combat style is completely different from ours; what race does she come from?"

"She looks like a Human, but I don't remember any Human Tribe having this style!"

The audience discussed Lin Yan's performance one after another, filled with curiosity and awe toward her.

Yet they did not know that Lin Yan, who had just cleared the stage, was silently thanking Lu Yun in her heart at this moment. She had never forgotten that after she first transmigrated, she had nearly died several times, and it was Lu Yun's free demonstration of cultivation techniques that gave her the hope of survival, which led to the person she was today.

It was precisely because of her gratitude toward Lu Yun that she was very keen on bringing some technological shock to the Primordial World! Because in her view, the power of technology was one of the powers of Humanity, and the shock she brought would inevitably drive some living beings in the Great Desolation to develop technology, which would naturally strengthen Humanity!

After clearing the stage, Lin Yan decisively uploaded her performance from the competition just now into the Transmigration Chat Group, so that everyone could also enjoy it.

Lin Yan: "@Liu Chongxiao, @Xiao Ling'er, I have already cleared the stage, why haven't you two big shots come out yet?"

At the same time, in another area of the competition venue where Lin Yan had just been, Liu Chongxiao was using his unique abilities from the Talisman world to engage in a contest with numerous other participants.

The Secret Realm where Liu Chongxiao was located was a forest shrouded in mist, surrounded by the unknown and danger.

However, for him, who was skilled in the Dao of Talismans, this was precisely a stage to showcase his talent.

He quickly set up one illusionary talisman array after another, shrouding the entire forest within them. These talisman arrays could not only confuse the enemies' perceptions and judgments but also launch attacks inadvertently, leaving the enemies unable to defend against them.

"What kind of ghost place is this? My divine sense actually cannot penetrate this mist!" one participant roared in anger.

However, his roar was quickly drowned out by a strange light of talismans, and his entire person instantly vanished into the mist.

Because confusing the enemies was only the first step; using Attack Talisman arrays to eliminate the enemies was the true key.

A faint smile curled at the corner of Liu Chongxiao's mouth, and he felt secretly proud.

With his true cultivation level, he was actually very weak in this Great Desolation, but under the current circumstances where everyone's cultivation was equal, it felt quite good to easily eliminate enemies stronger than himself with the help of clever talisman arrays.

But just as he was secretly feeling proud, he suddenly saw Lin Yan @ him in the Chat Group, and also saw the video Lin Yan had uploaded.

Incidentally, he also saw that quite a few others in the group had already cleared the stage, and he couldn't help but feel a bit anxious.

Liu Chongxiao: "@Lin Yan, wait, I will clear the stage and come out immediately!"

He continued to manipulate the talisman arrays, speeding up the process of sending enemies into the traps one by one.

His talisman arrays changed infinitely, at times turning into sharp blade lights that cut through space, and at other times turning into scorching flames that incinerated everything.

Under his manipulation, this misty forest seemed to have turned into a death maze.

In the end, relying on the uniqueness of the Dao of Talismans and his powerful strength, Liu Chongxiao successfully eliminated a large number of opponents and advanced to the next stage of the competition.

His performance also left everyone watching this match shocked and amazed.

And on another battlefield, Xiao Ling'er also saw the message where Lin Yan @ her, but she did not feel anxious because of it.

She was demonstrating her strength in another completely different way.

At this moment, the place where she was located was a valley rich in medicinal herbs within the Secret Realm, with a thick medicinal fragrance permeating the surroundings.

For Xiao Ling'er, who came from the Douqi World and was an alchemist, this was undoubtedly a treasure trove.

She thought to herself that after the competition ended, she must go to the physical Secret Realm to take a look; perhaps she could collect quite a few medicinal materials.

Afterward, she suddenly thought in her heart: I wonder if it is actually possible to refine pills within this Yuanling Immortal Net?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but want to try.

Thus, she quickly collected various precious medicinal materials, each containing astonishing medicinal power and spiritual energy, and began to try refining pills.

Her alchemy techniques were skillful and precise; everything was like flowing water.

Other participants saw Xiao Ling'er actually refining pills during the competition and cast puzzled gazes toward her one after another.

They were here to participate in the competition; if they didn't hurry to clear the stage, perhaps others would clear it first, and they would be eliminated.

Under such circumstances, who still had the patience to refine pills slowly?

However, Xiao Ling'er did not care about their opinions at all and continued to drive her Douqi to refine the pills.

As time passed, Xiao Ling'er's movements suddenly paused, her face lit up with joy, and she opened the Furnace in front of her, seeing that she had successfully refined several high-grade pills.

"Success!"

Xiao Ling'er's face was full of smiles, and she excitedly put the pills away.

What she had refined was actually a type of explosive pill; once consumed, one could unleash greater power in a short period of time.

It was precisely because of these pills that she was not only like a fish in water and at ease in battle, but she also easily surpassed the previous leaders and successfully broke through! And what Xiao Ling'er did not know was that at this moment, Hongjun was watching their competition, and when he saw her successfully refine the pills and that they still possessed medicinal effects, he could no longer sit still, stood up directly, his face filled with shock!
