Chapter 143: The Immortal Herb Sets Sail
They thought it was very likely.
After all, Professor Zeng had just held a press conference, showcasing the excellence of "The World." Being exposed to the public like this, it might instantaneously leap from a scenic wallpaper game to a free sandbox game.
"The new beta update description mentioned exploring on your own. Could it be that the level cap is being developed?"
"Wait, Freedom, that little girl, might be randomly selecting another lucky person, giving them a breakthrough to the seventh tier for a solo test?"
"Very likely!"
"After all, moving one person would be a massive drain. If we all go up, perhaps the world's computing power would not be enough to support it."
Everyone was discussing heatedly.
Beina was somewhat confused listening, but generally understood some of the implications.
...
On the ancient boat of the Chang'e Palace.
Zhu Zhengwei was controlling a Tree-man puppet, conducting experiments, somewhat surprised.
"Beina has been cultivating inside for over a hundred years, about to break through to the seventh tier. It's only considered average..." Zhu Zhengwei said calmly.
The reason those real-world players couldn't break through the seventh-tier Immortal Herb was very simple.
To break through to the seventh-tier Emperor Realm, one must break through in reality!
However, the powerful cultivation they accumulated remained sealed deep within their souls, without feedback in reality. How could they break through?
The sixth and seventh tiers are a watershed.
"To break through to the seventh tier, one must break through in reality."
Zhu Zhengwei was a bit interested, "Those players, I didn't give them feedback, but for my batch of professional new miners, from the Shell Race lineage, I certainly allowed their cultivation to feedback into reality. Otherwise, what's the use of setting up this little world in the deep sea?"
And Beina truly cultivated inside for a hundred and twenty years, remembering every day clearly.
But those players were different.
They, because of no feedback in reality, had their cultivation sealed, memories fuzzy, with a strong sense of time passing, as if reminiscing about their past life.
"Hmm, she is about to break through... the second seventh-tier Emperor Realm in reality, just as I thought, let's see what form the seventh-tier Immortal Herb takes."
He felt that the seventh-tier mining machine was unveiled, the Ancestral Witch world must experience another tremendous leap!
"However, I need to start taking the Red Moon planet during the Ancestral Witch Era seriously.... Right now, it's just the right time to enhance our system combat power, preparing to explore that Dream Bubble world."
"After all, the dark side landfill of side effects still needs cleaning, the Heart Demon Great Tribulation, lest we get killed by the opposing side."
He slightly curled his lips, then said, "The first-generation Great Emperor was the Ancestral Witch lineage Celestial Emperor Chu, the second-generation Great Emperor, for the Beast Race Emperor Niu, and the third-generation Great Emperor was the Human Race Qin Xiao...."
"Ancestral Witch, Beast Race, Human Race, there might be another new Great Emperor in front of us, the Immortal Herb Great Emperor..."
It seemed rather interesting.
After all, it was also a native from the Extraordinary World, not a player.
Just this native mixed with the players, capable of Flying and Earth Escape, pioneering an era, what changes will eventually happen?
He was somewhat expectant.
This was considered putting another Transmigrator in, bringing in advanced knowledge, right?
"Hmm, this era, Beina is about to rise, there should be an Immortal Herb Celestial Emperor emerging, waging wars, heading towards the Red Moon." Zhu Zhengwei slowly spoke, "This is the current Destiny I have written for this world."
...
In reality.
Deep in the sea.
Beina opened her eyes, looking at other members of her race.
All these years, she hadn't let her fellow members speak on the forum, she took charge of communicating with those seniors, but luckily those seniors were quite strong and yet very approachable.
And now, her cultivation speed was naturally the fastest, on the verge of breakthrough.
"It's truly amazing, cultivating in 'The World' actually feeds back to the real body.... If following reality, only a few days have passed!"
"Different time flow, according to those seniors.... This is the unique Spirit Time House in Senior Sun Wukong's world! Along with those Secret Realm small worlds of the Immortal Cultivation seniors Red-haired Emperor!"
She took out the Boundary-breaking Pearl left by Zhu Zhengwei for them.
Whoosh.
"I might also step into the Emperor Realm one day." Beina took a deep breath, also adhering to what the seniors inside had shared, a seventh-tier Emperor Realm, just able to fly through the air, is merely the beginning.
Whoosh.
She began to break through.
Two days later, a massive aura erupted from the deep sea.
But this time, the intensity of the aura was far from the radiance of Zhu Zhengwei, and being in the deep sea, it only scared away other fish schools.
Crunch.
Upon entering "The World" again, she saw an attribute panel appear before her eyes.
Immortal Herb Level: Level 7.
Current Location: Beast Race Continent, Beast Race Secret Palace.
Special Bloodline: Deep Sea Shell Race
...
Her small hand trembled, sending out the screenshot.
Instantly, the entire forum exploded, everyone was discussing fervently, excitement was high, a brand-new version was online!
"Ahhh, if it were someone else breaking through, I'd definitely be red-faced with jealousy, but if it's my cute little Beina, then it's all good."
"Yeah, Beina must be an incredibly adorable and pretty little girl."
A group of sycophants was up to mischief online.
And Beina was very honest, "All you seniors hold very important positions in the real world, I was only lucky to reach this new realm of 'The World' that everyone is exploring. It might be because my realm is extremely low, starting from scratch, that I actually reached the seventh tier."
The implication of Beina was that all of them were already powerful Ancient Gods beyond the seventh tier, so re-cultivating from scratch here as Immortal Herb would naturally encounter bottlenecks.
But she was genuinely weak, and that's probably why she could break through, an advantage.
However, in the eyes of others, it wasn't perceived that way:
Look at this little girl, so sensible, saying that we hold high positions in reality, probably still a small girl, still studying, perhaps her youth allowed this breakthrough in the game.
Everyone immediately thought this little girl was nice, becoming more and more endearing.
This true Emperor Realm Beina began to modestly seek help from these ordinary people, "What do you seniors think I should do next?"
"Try and see if you can fly?"
"Yeah, Beina sister, try speaking secretly, see if you can open mic communication alone!"
"Also, you need to be cautious, the higher the Immortal Herb's rating, the more attention it draws, you being an unprecedented Emperor Realm Immortal Herb, it's best not to get discovered, otherwise you'll surely be captured, enslaved for life!"
...
Beina began to try.
She discovered she could indeed fly, even no longer at the same level of Immortal Herb plants.
She could fly in the air and even live without soil. Her Immortal Herb's spiritual power was terrifying, capable of absorbing moisture in the air and various nutrients and sunlight.
"I can fly," Beina said honestly.
"Then try to run away," a player suggested, "I remember you are in the Beast Race Imperial Palace, where the strength isn't high, if it were in the Witch Country, it would be troublesome, your chances of running would be very low."
"Wait, first screenshot your surroundings for us, we'll brainstorm and give ideas, escape room tactics," a player said, "along with taking your fellow Immortal Herb companions with you."
This Emperor Realm Immortal Herb soon found a sack, packed all the Immortal Herbs in, cautiously wandering around with the bag on her back.
"Hmm, the environment you are in belongs to an enclosed ring-shaped alarm Dharma artifact, I've seen this type of artifact in the Human Race tribe; I know how to break them."
"Don't worry, the front is an alarm, probably to prevent theft, it's a one-way array skill, you won't trigger the alarm by going out directly."
Soon, as she moved along, Beina, amazed, watched these seniors, doing a crazy analysis and output, making her look like a battle-hardened thief, easily traversing around within the Imperial Palace.
Although they weren't really living there for hundreds of years, with their vague memories, they remembered certain things, like Golden Finger old grandpas.
More than half a day later.
Boom!
On the beast skin-covered throne, a terrifying existence's eyes filled with countless rage, "What? My palace was robbed, most of the Immortal Herbs stored in the three Beast Palaces were stolen?"
Immortal Herb is the foundation of a tribe.
They had divided it into three sacred sites to store, to prevent unexpected incidences.
One Imperial Palace suddenly fell?
"All Emperor Realms of the entire tribe, give your all to sweep across the entire Beast Race continent, don't let them escape." He roared angrily.
