My Disciples are Too Idiotic

This is the largest version update so far, so the number of players will be limited. The current total number of players is 6,100. This update has canceled the extra invitation slots, but a total of 13,900 Fifth Test slots have been opened up, bringing the total number of players to 20,000!

Unlike previous version updates, this time the Official Website did not reveal much content, except for an explanation of the number of players and the addition of a heart rate change mode.

This led many people to speculate in secret.

Could it be that the Fifth Test is really going to adopt a dark theme? Otherwise, they wouldn't have added this heart rate change mode. There must be some terrifying things involved, and this mechanism is to protect the players. That is to say, the Top Archer in the National Server guessed it right! The Upper Realm is going down a dark path.

Of course, the most crucial thing was the restoration of Contribution Points availability, which also told players that the Fifth Test would require a large number of Contribution Points.

During the final period of the Fourth Test, players had exchanged quite a few Contribution Points for Realm-Breaking Pills and even bought some Spiritual Materials.

Now, by directly telling players that Contribution Points have returned to normal, isn't this catching ninety percent of the players completely off guard?

「In the Internal Test Discussion Group.」

Junlin: "Damn, I took a big loss there! We wasted 5,000 Contribution Points trying to cozy up to the people of the Great Dream Immortal Sect in the Upper Realm."

Level 8 Gale: "Don't mention it. I exchanged all my Contribution Points for some Spiritual Materials, thinking of becoming a test subject. Now I only have a little over a hundred Contribution Points left."

Body Shudder: "I'm buying Contribution Points at a ratio of 1 to 200! I'll take as many as you've got!"

Under the Phoenix Tree: "With the appearance of the last batch of Realm-Breaking Pills, it looks like Antarctic has truly become a tycoon in the game."

Flourishing Flowers: "I just asked around, and Antarctic has nearly 5,000,000 Contribution Points. I'm totally numb. He alone has more Contribution Points than all of us combined."

Old Mo: "Good heavens! Antarctic became filthy rich overnight. With an Immortal Artifact in his hand, he's invincible. With 5,000,000 Contribution Points in hand, won't he be unbeatable in the Fifth Test?"

Abbess, Don't Love Me: "Sigh, I thought my three thousand-some Contribution Points were a lot, but now I see I'm just a pauper."

Body Shudder: "Antarctic is that rich? I'm going to see if he's willing to spread some wealth."

Junlin: "Contribution Points are indeed important now, but don't you find it strange? The start of this Fifth Test is filled with so much unknown; even the Official Website has stopped revealing information. Is the Archer here? Have him say something."

Top Archer in the National Server: "I'm currently studying the version."

Junlin: "Have you figured anything out yet? We're all friends here, so give us a little hint, won't you?"

Flourishing Flowers: "+1, definitely!"

Top Archer in the National Server: "We don't know much about the Upper Realm right now, other than that Non-player Character, just bits and pieces. I'm studying the Immortal Artifact that Antarctic has."

Poisonous Panda: "Immortal Artifact? The one he got from the draw? That thing seems to be related to the Upper Realm, right?"

Old Mo: "It's definitely related, but Antarctic hasn't figured it out yet. He's just using it as a tool."

Top Archer in the National Server: "Picture.jpg, have a look for yourselves. I've included my speculations."

Everyone in the group opened the picture to take a look.

The picture was an introduction to the Nine Immortals Spirit Disc.

[Name: Nine Immortals Spirit Disc.]

[Type: Immortal Artifact.]

[Quality: Legend.]

[Special Effects:

1. After activation, it can open the Nine Immortals Array, which can withstand a full-force strike from a Daluo Golden Immortal.

2. Creation: Based on the player's needs and using the Nine Immortals Spirit Disc as the core, various lower-level Spiritual Artifacts can be crafted. All these lower-level Spiritual Artifacts are connected to the Nine Immortals Spirit Disc. The effects of these artifacts depend on the player's progress in developing the Nine Immortals Spirit Disc.]

[Comment: A legendary Immortal Artifact shunned by the beings of the Upper Realm, its origins unknown to anyone.]

Next to the picture were notes and explanations by the Top Archer in the National Server.

"The special effects are definitely not limited to these two, considering it's a legendary Immortal Artifact. There aren't many legendary Items at this stage, let alone Immortal Artifacts."

"Daluo Golden Immortal might represent a new Realm division. However, there's an unknown factor, and without clear information on the Upper Realm, no evaluation can be offered."

"The comment is key because no one knows its origins. It's very likely to become one of the key Items for the Fifth Test."

"I boldly speculate that Items for the Fifth Test can be acquired not only by purchasing with Contribution Points but also through the Nine Immortals Spirit Disc."

The image simply contained these four points of analysis.

But that was enough for everyone to understand the significance of this Immortal Artifact at present.

In other words, as early as the Third Test version, there had already been clues about some Items for the Fifth Test. It was just that no one had thought in that direction.

As the owner of the Immortal Artifact, Antarctic must have guessed something. That's why he gathered a large amount of Contribution Points during the Fourth Test and even stopped participating in some activities. In this way, he was sure to become incredibly wealthy during the Fifth Test. At least all of the more than 10,000 players in the Fifth Test would need to buy Contribution Points from him.

Such speculation wasn't limited to players of the First Test; players from the Second, Third, and Fourth Tests had almost all guessed it.

Now, Antarctic could be said to be the wealthiest player.

While the players were discussing fervently, Xu Nian gathered with the people of the Great Dream Immortal Sect and the Cyan Lotus Sword Sect.

The information shared by Zhao Ritian wasn't much, but they could still roughly guess the situation in the Upper Realm.

If Zhao Ritian wasn't lying, then the Upper Realm was probably filled with danger. Otherwise, Zhao Ritian wouldn't have actively sought them out.

Xu Nian took the opportunity to glance at the System's prompt about the Fifth Test and couldn't help frowning, his expression turning ugly.

Zhao Ritian hadn't spoken falsely. The Upper Realm was filled with danger; otherwise, the System wouldn't have introduced a heart rate protection module. Does this mean that when players ascend to the Upper Realm, they will experience things that can affect their heart rate? Mostly, such situations were caused by fear. It seemed the situation in the Upper Realm far exceeded their imaginations.

"Heh, it's not that I look down on you, but the Profound Yellow Sect might still have a chance to survive in the Upper Realm. The rest of you, however, have no hope."

Zhao Ritian said coldly with a laugh, "With just this number of people, even if you went to the Upper Realm, it would be nothing more than seeking death. Some among you might even become traitors. I despise traitors. You should all be well aware of what happened to Haoran Academy."

Naturally, they had received the news of Haoran Academy being eradicated.

One person destroying an entire faction was enough to demonstrate Zhao Ritian's power.

Perhaps it really wasn't suitable for them to go to the Upper Realm.

Xu Nian stated, "Sect Leader Meng, Sect Leader Shangguan, I believe his words. You'd better not get involved in ascending to the Upper Realm for now."

Then, Xu Nian pondered and said, "Tomorrow, I will try to find a way to ascend and test it out. The situation in the Upper Realm is unclear. There's no need for you to go and meet your deaths. Once the Upper Realm has stabilized, it won't be too late for you to ascend."

Upon hearing this, Meng Fenggu and Shangguan Jian also grew worried.

Their current power was indeed no match for the Profound Yellow Sect, but they didn't want to give up on the opportunity to ascend to the Upper Realm.

Hadn't they practiced all these years just to ascend to the Upper Realm? With so many of them ascending together, surely their safety wouldn't be an issue.

Zhao Ritian said, "He's saying this for your own good, yet you still hesitate. The Upper Realm isn't as wonderful as you imagine."

He then scoffed, "The Upper Realm is no longer the era ruled by the myriad races. They control the entire Upper Realm, and even if I were to ascend, my chances of survival would be slim!"

Meng Fenggu snapped, "Nonsense! With so many of us, do you think the people in the Upper Realm would dare to kill us all?"

He then argued furiously, "Do you know how many years we've waited to ascend? Now you want to cut off our path to Ascension with just a few words. What are your true intentions?"

Seeing him enraged, Zhao Ritian didn't offer much of an explanation. Instead, he looked at Meng Fenggu with a smirk.

Explain? He's just a fool; explanations are useless with him.

Instead, he turned his gaze to Xu Nian. He was clearly aware of the Profound Yellow Sect's uniqueness. If the entire Profound Yellow Sect ascended, perhaps they could indeed change the situation in the Upper Realm.

Xu Nian glanced at them and spoke after a half moment's silence, "Sect Leader Meng, you should consider this more carefully. Even the Demon Emperor doesn't dare to ascend yet. You haven't reached the Tribulation Peak, so ascending to the Upper Realm now would likely bring more harm than good."
