The Cultivation World

Luo Feng held the mouse, clicked open the 'Backend Management' file, and from the three options 'Life', 'Study', 'Cultivation', he clicked 'Cultivation'.

"Training mission danger levels are divided into five tiers." Luo Feng looked at the screen, frowning slightly. "Which tier of training mission should I choose?"

He looked at the five tiers displayed on the screen.

Safe Tier (0% mortality rate), Normal Tier (10% mortality rate), Difficult Tier (20% mortality rate), Dangerous Tier (50% mortality rate), Desperate Tier (90% mortality rate).

"This is my first training mission, and I know nothing about it," Luo Feng mused. "I shouldn't act recklessly from the start. Foolishly picking the Desperate Tier would be irresponsible. If it were Wuka or Rongjun... out of caution, they'd likely choose the Difficult Tier!"

"Then I..." Luo Feng pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly. "I'll choose the Dangerous Tier!"

The Dangerous Tier was the second most perilous among the five, with a mortality rate as high as 50%.

Those who undertook training missions were the most exceptional geniuses selected from the 1008 Cosmic Nations of humanity. Each would purchase various treasures and trump cards. Many wouldn't dare choose such a high tier for their first mission; they'd typically only attempt the Dangerous Tier after gaining sufficient experience. Yet, even then, the mortality rate remained a staggering 50%, which spoke volumes about its peril.

"I'm different from them."

"I also have two clones, far stronger than my main body," Luo Feng thought to himself. "If I don't choose something more dangerous, it won't be challenging enough."

Though confident, Luo Feng, in his caution, still didn't dare choose the most terrifying 'Desperate Tier'.

A 90% mortality rate!

Desperation!

Those who dared to choose the Desperate Tier were all thoroughly prepared and supremely confident, yet roughly nine out of ten still perished. Those who survived likely owed it to a stroke of luck—that was the true meaning of 'Desperate'!

Luo Feng gently clicked, choosing to accept the 'Dangerous Tier' training mission.

"Beep!"

A red warning text appeared on the screen.

"Warning! Warning! Your Highness Luo Feng, this is your first training mission. According to probabilities calculated from numerous historical instances within my Virtual Universe Company, undertaking a 'Dangerous Tier' mission for your first training assignment carries a mortality rate as high as 78.2%. Please choose carefully. If you wish to proceed, click 'Confirm'; otherwise, cancel this mission acceptance."

Luo Feng raised an eyebrow.

A 78.2% mortality rate for a first-time Dangerous Tier training mission?

"Hmph, there must be a sliver of hope in the mission. Since Desperate Tier missions exist, the chances of survival in a Dangerous Tier mission must be even greater. If I can't even clear a Dangerous Tier mission, wouldn't that be laughable?" Luo Feng didn't hesitate, directly clicking 'Confirm' to accept the Dangerous Tier mission.

A new page immediately appeared on the screen, displaying detailed information—

"Dangerous Tier missions are frequently chosen by many core members after gaining ample confidence from various trials. The mortality rate is approximately 50%. Similarly, the higher the danger, the more astonishing the reward points.

Below is the list of Dangerous Tier missions:

1. Visca Star (within the Virtual Universe Company's Primeval Secret Realm)

2. Seven Flames Palace (within the Virtual Universe Company's Heaven and Earth Secret Realm)

...

6. Green Demon World (within the Virtual Universe Company's Apocalypse Secret Realm)

...

9. Dragon Tower Star (within the Virtual Universe Company's Taichu Secret Realm)

...

18. Nine Star Sea (within the Giant Axe Martial Arena's Giant Axe Secret Realm)

...

29. Prison Battlefield (within the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance's Glory Secret Realm)

...

36. Xueluo World (within the Virtual Universe Company's Taichu Secret Realm)

...

186. Flame Ice Continent (within the Cosmic River Bank's Black Hole Secret Realm)"

The list was dense, with a total of 186 missions available. All training missions led to various secret realms, which were realms already controlled and modified by the five great powers of humanity. These 186 special areas within the numerous secret realms were the locations for the training missions.

"186? And this Dragon Tower Star is in the Taichu Secret Realm?" Luo Feng gently clicked on the ninth training mission, 'Dragon Tower Star', and briefly reviewed it.

Cosmic Secret Realms, at their smallest, could rival a galaxy in size, like the Milky Way Galaxy. At their largest, they could be comparable to a star sector, like the Ganwu Universe Nation!

How many planets were there in the Milky Way Galaxy?

How many galaxies were there in the Ganwu Universe Nation?

Therefore!

Within the vast and wondrous Cosmic Secret Realms, it was possible for a continent to be born, suspended in the void, or for a unique planet to emerge, and so on. In short, the special areas born within Cosmic Secret Realms were likely beyond what most people could ever conceive, even if they racked their brains for a lifetime.

"Dragon Tower Star, an ancient planet born within the Taichu Secret Realm. For countless years, shrouded in dense cosmic origin mist, this planet has bred various powerful dragon races, such as Thunder Dragons, which favor physical combat, or Human Dragons, which specialize in soul attacks, or Golden Dragons, which possess both..." Luo Feng read the detailed introduction of Dragon Tower Star.

The introduction was very long.

And the training mission for Dragon Tower Star was... to hunt dragons!

To be a dragon hunter!

"Tsk, tsk, truly challenging," Luo Feng muttered. "The strongest beings on Dragon Tower Star rival peak Realm Lords, and even the weakest are at the Cosmic Tier. This means extreme caution is required during the hunt. If a powerful dragon discovers you, it won't be you hunting dragons, but the dragons hunting you."

Luo Feng scrolled through mission after mission, marveling at many of the locations.

"Xueluo World is also within the Taichu Secret Realm." Luo Feng's eyes lit up. It was best to choose missions within the Taichu Secret Realm first, otherwise, traveling to other Cosmic Secret Realms by spaceship alone would take a very long time. There were five special areas within the Taichu Secret Realm that offered Dangerous Tier training missions, and Luo Feng was more inclined towards Xueluo World.

"Xueluo World, a vast continent suspended in the void, born from the Taichu Secret Realm. Cosmic Secret Realms are born during the evolution of the universe, and Xueluo World is a powerful world that emerged in the very early stages of the Taichu Secret Realm. Its antiquity surpasses even humanity's oldest Cosmic Nations."

Xueluo World was home to countless powerful humans, who had developed their own language, culture, and cultivation civilization.

They worshipped power above all else.

The detailed introduction to Xueluo World was extensive, and Luo Feng found himself deeply intrigued.

"Such a wondrous world, and it even has native Immortals," Luo Feng exclaimed in awe. "Unfortunately, because it's within a Cosmic Secret Realm, the abundant dust and various obstructions prevent Immortals from accelerating to light speed for cosmic travel. Thus, those native Immortals remain confined to Xueluo World."

Xueluo World, with a diameter of nearly 1 light-year, or 9 trillion kilometers!

Such a vast living area meant Xueluo World had an astonishing population, and constantly nurtured by the power of the cosmic origin, it was teeming with experts.

"Note."

"Xueluo World harbors extreme hatred for outsiders."

"Therefore, to undertake a Xueluo World training mission, no technological items whatsoever are permitted. Special psychic weapons or origin force weapons are also forbidden unless they already exist within Xueluo World. Everything must conform to the attire of an ordinary person in Xueluo World."

"If one's appearance is too unusual, their looks and physique must be altered to match Xueluo World's norms."

"The language of Xueluo World differs from the universal cosmic language. Entrants must first learn the Xueluo World language."

Luo Feng nodded with a smile: "Fortunately, Xueluo World has tens of millions of human ethnic groups, so my appearance is relatively normal."

"Weapons?"

"When studying laws, there's no difference between using a battle saber and using a psychic weapon."

"Language?"

"With my consciousness processing speed, comparable to an ordinary optical computer, I can learn it in half a day." Luo Feng ultimately decided to choose Xueluo World, because it was an ancient world with a new civilization, passed down for hundreds of millions of years, and predominantly human, unlike other training mission worlds with their various oddities.

Xueluo World Training Mission:

1. Obtain one Xueluo Crystal (a special product of Xueluo World, found nowhere else in the cosmos). Success grants 10,000 points.

2. Obtain the title 'Blood Warrior' and receive a 'Xueluo Medal'. Success grants 100,000 points. (Note: 99.5% of those who undertake Xueluo World missions only complete the first task.)

Completing just one of these two tasks signifies successful completion of the training mission.

"Beep."

"Please confirm acceptance of the Xueluo World training mission."

"Mission accepted successfully."

"Please enter your departure time. The Virtual Universe Company will arrange a spaceship to transport you to Xueluo World."

Luo Feng smiled as he looked at the mission.

He chose Xueluo World for two reasons: first, its unique culture and cultivation civilization. Second, most Dangerous Tier missions offered rewards between 10,000 and 20,000 points. Very few presented a choice of two tasks, and Xueluo World's second task offered a staggering 100,000 points upon completion!

"My heavens."

What did 100,000 points even mean? One only received 100,000 points for clearing the 11th level of the Sky-Reaching Bridge, and Luo Feng was currently only on the fifth level. To clear the 11th? He estimated it would take at least several millennia.

"'Blood Warrior' title, 'Xueluo Medal'? It might be difficult, but I have to try," Luo Feng smiled.

After accepting the training mission, Luo Feng began making various preparations.

"The Yan Shen weapon is one of humanity's nine divine weapons. Xueluo World simply doesn't have the materials to craft Yan Shen weapons, so... I absolutely cannot bring out a Yan Shen weapon in Xueluo World. Even the Shadow Gold Saber won't do. In that case, I'll commission a sharper Blood Shadow Battle Saber," Luo Feng commissioned a Blood Shadow Battle Saber and a hexagonal shield.

The materials were all available in Xueluo World!

"Moyun Teng?"

"Moyun Teng is an auxiliary plant lifeform, quite rare even within humanity's 1008 Cosmic Nations. Xueluo World has none at all. I'll just have my Demon Killer Clan clone wear it for now."

"Good! Space rings exist in Xueluo World."

"I'll also commission a set of combat armor, boots, and a helmet."

Luo Feng quickly made all sorts of preparations, needing to make himself indistinguishable from the natives of Xueluo World. Because Xueluo World was vast, with tens of millions of human races, as long as he wasn't too unusual, there would naturally be no problem!

However—

If anyone were to use a laser gun in Xueluo World and be discovered by its super-experts, the Realm Lords or Immortals, they would surely die. This was because Xueluo World had not pursued technological research at all.

"Xueluo World language?" Luo Feng spent three days, using his consciousness processing speed comparable to a basic optical computer, to learn 18 different dialects of Xueluo World.

"Alright!"

"All preparations are complete!"
