Chapter 465: Chapter 241 Major Version Update! The Soul Fighting Leaderboard is Released! (6000 words)_2

"Have you heard? Today at the Vermilion Bird Commerce Association, various Great Immortal Gates simultaneously introduced a new product. It’s a treasure called the ’Soul Fighting Machine’!"

"What is that?"

"They say it lets people enter a virtual world to hone their Daoist Divine Powers. You can experience life-and-death battles to comprehend them, but without suffering any injuries or side effects!"

"Is this true?"

The crowd was astonished. This was simply too incredible; it shattered their worldview. To be able to experience life-and-death combat and temper oneself without any real risk... the benefits were simply indescribable.

Many prodigies from the major sects often met unexpected ends in the outside world. They would be ambushed and killed by rogue cultivators, sometimes by those whose realm and cultivation level were even inferior to their own. This was because those rogue cultivators, who licked blood from their blades, were rich in experience and possessed a ferocity that ordinary people couldn’t match, having brushed with death countless times. They were completely different from flowers raised in a greenhouse.

Without trials and tribulations, a cultivator’s Daoist heart is ultimately fragile. But tempering is also an art; one moment of carelessness could shatter the blade’s edge. This was a risk that had to be borne. But now, with the Soul Fighting Machine, everything was different. This matter had a tremendous impact, sweeping through the cultivation world of Nanzhou like a storm.

"Can such a miraculous treasure really exist in the world? It must be very expensive, right?" someone asked, a mix of shock and worry in their voice.

"The price offered by all the Great Immortal Gates is the same: 5,000 Spirit Stones apiece!"

"It’s that cheap?"

Everyone was shocked and found it hard to believe. This was practically a steal, a price that didn’t seem to match the Soul Fighting Machine’s terrifying effects. For a while, some people were skeptical, feeling that the Great Immortal Gates were exaggerating and that the machine might not be as good as they claimed.

But soon, such rumors were dispelled. As soon as the Soul Fighting Machines went on sale, they were frantically snatched up. A great number of cultivators tried them, some even using them in front of countless people. The results were astounding, matching the advertisements from the Great Immortal Gates almost exactly, with no discrepancies.

"Heavens, this Soul Fighting Machine is simply divine!"

"It’s so realistic! The world inside is unbelievably real. It felt like I was truly grappling with ancient Fierce Beasts, brushing with death time and time again!"

"Breaking news! The Soul Fighting Machine was personally developed by the Sanqing Saint Heir! He passed the manufacturing method to all the Immortal Sects, intending to benefit all living beings and make the Soul Fighting Machine affordable for everyone. That’s why the price is so low!"

This news fell like a meteor into the already boiling cultivation world.

"It’s the Sanqing Saint Heir again!"

"Truly, the capable are omnipotent. With such a prodigy appearing in this age, who could possibly compare?"

"..."

The name ’Sanqing Saint Heir’ had become especially dazzling recently. It was as resounding as thunder. Even ordinary people, who knew nothing about the cultivation world, had heard of him. He had slain countless members of the Demon Race, saved many Saints of the Human Race, topped the Venerable rankings, and now created a divine item like the Soul Fighting Machine. Each deed alone was enough to shake the world, yet all of them came from a single person.

"The Sanqing Saint Heir is destined to be mythologized. This era is his!"

"He himself is a myth! A person like him might not appear even once in ten thousand years, born to soar through the Nine Heavens!"

"A great era is upon us!"

Countless people sighed with emotion, their laments quickly followed by heartfelt excitement and gratitude. A Soul Fighting Machine this cheap was something they could actually afford to buy and use. The only drawback was the limited number of Soul Fighting Machines released by the Vermilion Bird Commerce Association. Every batch was snapped up in a frenzy, leaving far too many people empty-handed and full of complaints.

For an entire month, the entrances to the various branches of the Vermilion Bird Commerce Association were perpetually packed with people, so crowded that not a drop of water could pass through. Furthermore, buildings named ’Battle Spirit Internet Cafes’ quietly began to spring up one after another across Nanzhou, spreading far and wide.

...

The era of the Soul Fighting Machine had arrived, becoming the center of discussion for all cultivators. Whether they had managed to get one or not, their conversations almost invariably revolved around it.

"Nanzhou Soul Fighting Chat Group..." Wang Xiu looked at the new group that had appeared on his Communication Token and said in surprise, "How are there so many people?"

It was just a new group, yet the number of members had already broken one hundred thousand!

"Have the Great Immortal Gates really acted so quickly? How could they produce so many Soul Fighting Machines in such a short time?" Wang Xiu voiced his amazement.

"Impossible! Most of the people in the group probably haven’t managed to get a Soul Fighting Machine yet," Mo Wuwei said, pushing up her glasses.

Even if the Great Immortal Gates intended to sell Soul Fighting Machines, the prerequisite was to first satisfy their own internal needs. As of now, Mo Wuwei and her team had only just helped the last Immortal Sect establish its production line and workforce. How could so many Soul Fighting Machines have already flooded the market?

Hearing this, Wang Xiu immediately understood.

Indeed, failing to get a Soul Fighting Machine wouldn’t stop anyone from joining the chat group!

He opened the group, and a plethora of miscellaneous messages instantly filled his vision.

:[Nanling County, looking for fellow Daoists proficient in The Art of Slaughter, preferably Sword Cultivators!]

:[This humble one is skilled in the Sky-Slicing Sword Draw and happens to be at an internet cafe in Nanling County!]

:[Sky-Slicing Sword Draw? That sounds incredibly powerful!]

:[Hehe, you have a good eye, fellow Daoist. I obtained this art from an ancient ruin; its power is astonishing!]

[DING!]

[Detected someone boasting nearby. Congratulations, Host, for receiving +66 Mana!]

:[Qinghe County, LFG, need one more. We’re a group of four female cultivators and hope to find another sister... Women must empower themselves; we don’t need any male cultivators!]

[DING!]

[Detected someone boasting nearby. Congratulations, Host, for receiving +99 Mana!]

:[Wow, for real?]

:[Sob... can a "male sister" join?] 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

:[Sisters, don’t be fooled! Those four are all guys who prey on lone female cultivators. Don’t ask me how I know!]
