Legendary Librarian System

The System continued.

[You have spent 100 System Points on the Artifact Forging Domain.

At the intermediate stage, the Forging Realm provides specialized forges attuned to elemental forces, especially the Lava Rivers, Ice Caverns, and Thunder Peaks.

Lava Rivers: natural smelters where ores melt effortlessly; great for fire-attribute or metal-refining.

Ice Caverns: used for tempering weapons with cold Qi, creating blades of stillness or sealing artifacts.

Thunder Peaks: weapons can be tempered by lightning bolts, perfect for artifacts that channel speed, destruction, or raw energy.

Each environment has adjustable intensity arrays so the forger can tune the balance — for instance, making lava hotter for stubborn ores, or reducing thunder for delicate inscriptions.]

[The Inscription Wall is finally available. It's a massive wall of glowing jade or bronze, constantly shifting with ancient runes. Forgers can sketch inscriptions or formation patterns directly into the wall, which then animates and projects them into miniature simulations, like a sword inscription projecting a blade of light. Errors in inscription cause cracks or distortions on the wall, immediately showing where the flaw lies. Think of it as a living blackboard for Dao patterns.

There will be a Tool Spirit Nest inside—a sub-space resembling a serene grove or a glowing nest, filled with spiritual aura. Newly-born weapon spirits from swords, spears, or tools can be placed here to mature safely. The nest accelerates spirit growth by feeding them Qi streams, Dao melodies, or elemental resonance. Weak spirits that might otherwise dissipate are given stability—ensuring even low-tier weapons can develop a faint will.

Lastly, the anvil will be upgraded into Mystical Anvil, which unlike a normal anvil, the Mystical Anvil has Dao veins glowing across its surface. When a forger strikes it, the Anvil resonates with the chosen Dao, gently embedding Dao intent into the material. The Anvil also has a "replay" function—replaying the last few strikes in Qi-light, letting the forger analyze their rhythm and intent.

This place is definitely perfect for nurturing future artisans.]

Liu Wei nodded in agreement.

He already decided to bring Duan Li and would treat her as the first artisan to be nurtured in the Artifact Forging Domain.

The System continued.

[You have spent 100 System Points on the Training Domain.

At the intermediate stage, a Gravity & Pressure Fields will be available. Areas where a cultivator can adjust gravity intensity from x2 to x100+ and atmospheric Qi pressure. Training here obviously strengthens body and Qi circulation under extreme strain. This is best beneficial to body-tempering cultivators, as it hones their raw muscle and bone density. As for Qi cultivators, it forces them to control Qi with precision under crushing weight.

There will also be Elemental Zones, where it simulates fire, water, thunder, and more.

Fire Zone: practice fighting amidst flames and heat, enhancing resistance.

Water Zone: underwater dueling, testing stamina and fluid movements.

Thunder Zone: constant lightning strikes temper body and weapon reflexes.

Wind Zone (optional expansion): gale-force winds to test balance and agility.

Each zone helps a cultivator sharpen battle adaptation against elemental Dao attacks.

A Historic Cultivator Avatars will appear for sparring. Simulated projections of real cultivators from the Hall's archives. At this level, they are basic avatars, not full replicas of strength, but enough to spar and learn tactics. They can recreate legendary martial techniques, sword stances, or body movements. Hence, they are useful for studying combat rhythms, styles, and counters from ancient masters.

Elder Mo Fu will finally be able to meet Yan Qingshan or whatnot.]

Liu Wei smiled when he heard Elder Mo Fu from the System.

He also missed how eccentric and comical Elder Mo Fu was.

He hoped to meet him again…

I hope he will finally be able to find High-Grade Spirit Stones… I need it, too.

Just knowing he would be in debt in the future… Liu Wei wanted to cry, to plead to his customers.

The System continued.

[Dao Echo Zones will be available, which will replay moments of past-enlightenment. Hence, it is special meditation chambers where Dao imprints of historic breakthroughs replay in fragments. These "Dao shadows" cannot be stolen, but exposure helps cultivators attune themselves to the feeling of insight, reducing bottleneck difficulty.

It is available even to your future visitors, too. Don't forget that.]

Liu Wei nodded.

[Lastly, Bottleneck Crusher Chambers, which will simulate a life-death edge. They are illusory or controlled-real environments that push the cultivator to the brink of death without true danger. The chamber is calibrated to stop at the edge of fatal damage, but the pressure is utterly real.

So, despite knowing they would not die, the Bottleneck Crusher Chambers will still be able to induce them to give their all, as though they would really die. Hence, the purpose is to simulate the crisis that usually triggers breakthroughs, making bottleneck leaps more natural.]

Liu Wei listened carefully and could not help but be in awe of the effects of the intermediate stage.

The System continued.

[You have spent 100 System Points on the Enlightenment Realm.

At the intermediate stage, the mirrors show future self, inner demons, and deviation paths.

Future Self Mirror: shows a possible cultivation future if you stay on your current Dao path. It could be inspiring, like a Sage with sword stars circling, or warning, like rippled meridians from imbalance.

Inner Demon Mirror: reflects the user's hidden fears, regrets, or obsessions in humanoid form, sparring with it strengthens mental will and Dao heart stability.

Deviation Path Mirror: reveals how your Dao would look if it strayed. For example, a Fire Dao cultivator slipping into obsession might see themselves as a burning husk.

A cultivator can now also enter the mirrors for trial illusions.

In the Future Mirror, one might experience decades of cultivation in moments, gaining insight into long-term consequences.

In the Inner Demon Mirror, one must confront fears in combat or dialogue, for example their loved ones accusing, rivals mocking, self-doubt personified.

In the Deviation Path Mirror, you feel the suffocating weight of a flawed Dao, teaching you how to avoid it.

Hence, the success grants deeper Dao clarity and resistance to Heart Devil Tribulations.]
