Chapter 39: The Grey World

Translator: 549690339

Jiang Li didn’t find the existence of other worlds strange. Ancient books had already documented them. The worlds governed by the Immortal Realm were as numerous as the grains of sand in the Ganges, with a ladder to immortality established in each one. As long as people from those worlds met the standards for becoming immortal, they could ascend. The Nine Provinces world had the highest number of immortals among these worlds.

If there was an unknown world on the other side of the spatial rift, it was likely to be one of the many worlds governed by the Immortal Realm. Perhaps the ladder to immortality from that world was still there!

“How can I get Source Points?”

[Host can obtain Source Points by completing tasks or selling goods. This system will buy Source Points at one-third of the mall’s price.]

“…A swindler indeed.”

Buying at a third of the price and selling at the original price… Even someone with a bit of conscience wouldn’t say such thing!

“I have done several tasks, where are my Source Points?” [Does the host want to select a side task- -Source Point Task?]

“Yes.”

[Initiating Source Point task: Please extract 200 jin of First Sun Stone from First Sun Mountain for the host.]

This time, Jiang Li didn’t need to ask Sky Mechanism Tower where First Sun Mountain was. He had heard of it. It used to be a famous mine. However, due to the mine owner’s unrestricted mining, it became a barren hill two hundred years ago.

At its prime, it could produce a ton of First Sun Stone a day. Now, one could consider themselves lucky if they managed to mine 50 jin a day. As the First Sun Stone was not a cultivation necessity, the mining costs did not proportionately translate into income, naturally, nobody mined there anymore.

With Jiang Li’s skill, if he put his heart and soul into mining for a day, he could mine about fifty jin.

Jiang Li pondered for a moment, then concluded that the task was pretty simple.

He flew over the First Sun Mountain, and directly dug out the entire mountain range.

Jiang Li didn’t believe that an entire mountain range would not yield two hundred jin of First Sun Stone?

The system hesitated for a moment before determining whether this action counted as having dug out two hundred jin of First Sun Stone or not.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the Source Points task, rewarding the host with fifty Source Points.]

“Teleport me to the unknown world I just found!”

[Another 56,800 Source Points are required. Insufficient Source Points, unable to teleport.]

Things are getting tough.

Jiang Li clenched his fists.

Jiang Li swore that if this damn system could manifest a form, he would be the first to cripple it!

You need this many Source Points, why didn’t you say so earlier? I have to complete tasks until who knows when!

“It seems I have to sell some items for Source Points.”

Jiang Li scanned the mall, the most items available were all kinds of cultivation techniques. The cheapest could only cultivate up to the Golden Core Stage and required a hundred Source Points, while the most expensive could cultivate into immortality, requiring a million Source Points.

Jiang Li looked up at the setting sun and swiftly composed a technique called “Sunset Heart Hook Technique”. It could be cultivated up to the early phase of Body Integration Realm. This technique could transform the afterglow of the sunset, and anyone attacked by this technique would involuntarily reminisce about their heartbreaking past, rendering them unable to fight.

Once he sold this technique, he directly received more than ten thousand Source Points.

Jiang Li smacked his thigh, “Why didn’t I do this earlier, it would have saved me the trouble of moving a mountain!”

“Writing the cultivation technique for the Transcendance Tribulation Stage is not easy, but there are plenty of techniques that can cultivate up to the Body Integration Stage!”

Often, a Tribulation Crossing Cultivator would only be able to write three to five cultivation techniques that could reach the level of crossing the tribulation and becoming immortal in their lifetime. Even Jiang Li would need to spend a dozen or so days to write them.

But it was different for Body Integration Stage cultivation techniques. Jiang Li could easily write eight to ten techniques that could cultivate up to the Body Integration Stage.

He looked at the verdant grassland and wrote “Cycle of Life and Death Technique” and “Endless Life Technique”, he looked at the mountain peak and wrote “Herculean Mountain Moving Technique”…

Jiang Li sold all of these casually written techniques to the system, suddenly gaining more than 110,000 Source Points. “Teleport me to the unknown world!” [Initiating teleportation]

The system can genuinely teleport this time.

The space around Jiang Li began to distort, gradually forming a passage with another world. With one step forward, he traversed the barrier of the Nine Provinces, the chaotic winds, the barrier of the unknown world, and arrived in the unknown world.

With Jiang Li’s discerning eyes, he could see the technique for moving through space employed by the system was extremely clever.

How clever was it? It was so clever that Jiang Li couldn’t understand the technique employed by the system.

‘What the heck can I understand? I know nothing about the Dao of Space.”

Jiang Li had originally planned to learn the system’s spatial techniques, but then he suddenly remembered he knows nothing about the Dao of Space.

“When I have a chance, I’ll demonstrate it on Mount Sumeru. Old Buddha Sumeru knows the Dao of Space the best, perhaps he can learn something from it.”

“Is this the unknown world?”

Upon arriving at the unknown world, Jiang Li slightly frowned. The sparse spiritual energy here was exasperating.

In the vast desert, Jiang Li stood alone in the yellow sand, letting the storm batter his protective shield. The overall tone of this world was a hazy gray, not a trace of green could be seen. Ordinary people could get depression from staying here too long.

Step by step, Jiang Li measured the land, discovering that this world’s gravity was the same as the Nine Provinces. He grabbed a handful of coarse sand. Its material structure was more or less the same.

“But why is the spiritual energy so sparse?”

The distribution of spiritual energy in Nine Provinces was uneven. Few places were known as Spirit Qi Forbidden Lands, where the spiritual energy was so scarce that even a single spiritual root cultivator could not reach the Foundation Establishment Stage.

The spiritual energy in this unknown world was even less than the Spirit Qi Forbidden Lands of the Nine Provinces!

There’s no way a cultivator could be born in such a place!

Jiang Li swept the area with his Divine Sense but couldn’t find a single human figure. He could only see a group of gray beasts that looked like wolves, digging into the ground. Apparently, they were starving and started eating the sand.

When the group of gray beasts spotted Jiang Li, they instinctively found him appetizing and planned to share this unseen creature among themselves. Jiang Li bound the entire group of gray beasts with one thought.

Jiang Li had never seen similar creatures in the Nine Provinces.

He used his Divine Sense to scan the group of beasts and discovered that they were not eating sand because of hunger, but because their bodily structures determined that they could only eat sand.

Their digestive, respiratory organs, etc., were all unlike anything Jiang Li had seen. Without the help of his powerful Divine Sense to analyze, he couldn’t even identify the functions of these organs.

These beasts had strong physical bodies, with the strongest having a body equivalent to the Golden Core Stage and the others having bodies equivalent to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

For some reason, Jiang Li instinctively wanted to keep his distance from these beasts. They gave him a very uncomfortable feeling.

Over the next few days, Jiang Li went around this world, but his brows never unfurrowed.

He finally understood why the group of gray beasts were eating sand.

Because this world only has two things, gray beasts, and sand.

Forget about humans, there weren’t even other species.

If the system told him that this was hell and the gray beasts were creatures of the animal realm, he would believe it eighty percent of the time.

Compared to here, the Nine Provinces is basically the Immortal Realm..
