To Harm the Righteous Path, I Had No Choice But to Make Games

The whispers inside and outside Yunling Hall naturally didn't escape the ears of the Elders from various Sects.
"Hehe, the Disciples seem very enthusiastic about the rankings?"
Chao Wendao stroked his beard and said with a chuckle.
"They are all young people who haven't yet entered the world; it's normal for them to enjoy excitement."
Lin Anzai, an Elder of Tianxuan Sect, twirled two dull prayer beads in his hand and shook his head with a smile.
"Surely, none of you Elders would want to compete with Elder Yang, just like the Disciples, right?"
Li Jiujian, an Elder of Limitless Sword Sect, narrowed his eyes and looked at the other Elders with a meaningful gaze.
"Heh, we're all old folks; how could we care about such fleeting fame? If it weren't for this martial arts exchange being a tradition of over a hundred years, my Yunxian Palace wouldn't even bother to travel here."
Wen Lingwu of Yunxian Palace said with disdain.
"It's all because of this Rebellious Disciple of mine, causing all these troubles… I'll definitely discipline him when we get back!"
Nangong Yuan looked serious.
"That would be for the best, lest everyone competes too fiercely and harms the harmony."
Chao Wendao breathed a sigh of relief and took out a pile of tokens, distributing them to the other Elders.
"These are my Lingxiao Sect's Illusion Realm tokens. Considering that the upcoming martial arts exchange will use Illusion Realms instead of Secret Realms, you can take your Disciples to familiarize themselves with various Illusion Realms over the next few days."
The Elders from various Sects chatted for a while, then each took their Disciples and dispersed.
...
Fengyue Xuan.
The temporary residence of Tianxuan Sect's Disciples.
"Elder Lin, what are your instructions?"
"I just performed a divination, and today, Tianxuan Sect's Aura is flourishing, most suitable for competition… Quick! Immediately take the other Disciples to Yunling Hall! My Tianxuan Sect must take first place!"
"Disciple obeys!"
"Oh, right, be quiet, don't make too much noise!"
"Yes!"
...
Yunyu Lou.
The temporary residence of Limitless Sword Sect's Disciples.
"Elder Li, the Disciples are very eager to experience 'if you're a Cultivator, then descend 100 floors' and bring glory to the Sect…"
"Oh? What I called you for is precisely this! Everyone outside says that besides the Dao of the Sword, our Limitless Sword Sect is mediocre in everything else… Today, we must prove that we're at least stronger than Qingshan Sect, who only passed two stages!"
"This Disciple also thinks so! I'm thoroughly familiar with the tricks of those stages; I'll definitely make others look at us with new eyes!"
"Oh, right… Remember to do this quietly, to catch them off guard!"

"Don't worry, the Disciples' stealth techniques will definitely not embarrass you!"
...
Suiyu Lou.
The temporary residence of Yunxian Palace's Disciples.
"Have you understood everything your master said?"
"Understood! Yunxian Palace is best at movement techniques. If we can't stand out in such a competition, wouldn't it disgrace the Sect's reputation?"
"That's exactly what your master means. Let those brutes who only know how to fight see the power of our Yunxian Palace… Oh, right, do not tell anyone outside the Sect about this operation."
"This Disciple understands!"
...
Yunling Hall.
"Heh, truly heaven helps my Lingxiao Sect! Since the Disciples are so enthusiastic, why don't we go with the flow!"
Chao Wendao's eyes gleamed, and his complexion was rosy.
"Hehe, I'll go back now and call my Rebellious Disciple to make copies of the Illusion Realm crystal overnight!"
Nangong Yuan understood immediately and quickly said.
"Yes… make the crystals! The more, the better! No money needed, distribute them to the Disciples for free, and the Materials cost will be deducted from the Sect's account!"
Chao Wendao clapped his hands excitedly.
Lingxiao Sect has numerous Disciples, giving them an absolute advantage in numbers.
Now that Yang Zhengxin has performed poorly in 'if you're a Cultivator, then descend 100 floors,' naturally many people want to show off themselves and the Sect at the same time.
Thus, competition between Sects is inevitable.
Everyone gathered from thousands ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) of miles away, precisely to save face and compete for superiority.
With a ready-made challenge Illusion Realm, they naturally wouldn't let it go.
The rankings on the leaderboard are the face of each major Sect!
And Lingxiao Sect has the advantage of location; it is determined to get first place!
"Zhong Yi!"
"This Disciple is here!"
"Today, you will temporarily stop your cultivation and focus on clearing the stages… You are the hope of our Lingxiao Sect!"
"This Disciple will not fail!"
...
...
【Demonic Path Value + 1.2】
【Demonic Path Value + 7】
【Demonic Path Value + 8.3】
【Demonic Path Value + 10】
【Demonic Path Value + 1.2】
...
The System's prompts were incessant.
Lu Ze's mouth was twisted in a smile.
"An old guy left, and a bunch of old guys came… Oh, right, there's also Senior Brother Zhong, that live wire."
Lu Ze chuckled to himself.
The Elders were clearly having a tough time in 'if you're a Cultivator, then descend 100 floors,' constantly sending him Demonic Path Value.
However, the most diligent one was Zhong Yi.
That 1.2 Demonic Path Value was too conspicuous, and it kept refreshing at a very fast frequency.
It was clearly Zhong Yi, who was unskilled but talked a lot…
He felt a bit regretful when Yang Zhengxin shamelessly withdrew halfway through the morning.
Fortunately, he was clever enough to add the 【Ranking】 function and 【Sect】 tag on the spot, successfully arousing the Disciples' competitive spirit.
Now, it wasn't just Yang Zhengxin providing him with Demonic Path Value.
Instead, it was an entire Sect,
Plus a group of elite Cultivators, providing him with a continuous stream of Demonic Path Value!
Once a Cultivator had a major breakdown, there would even be an additional critical hit of Demonic Path Value, it was simply a Divine Artifact for farming points!
In one night, he had gained ten thousand Demonic Path Value.
Directly advancing to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.
And Demonic Path Value was still continuously entering the backend!
At this rate, it wouldn't be long before he could advance to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.
Thinking about this, being close to the Golden Core Stage wasn't far off!
At this thought, Lu Ze was filled with excitement.
The creation of Illusion Realms had a tiny bit of relation to cultivation.
The main relation was the size of the area.
With Lu Ze's Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation, the area of the Illusion Realm was only a few hundred meters in radius.
This was even with the enhancement of the Myriad Forms Profound Devil Immortal Body.
If he reached the Golden Core Stage…
The range would extend to a thousand meters in radius.
There would be even more games to choose from!
At that time, the speed of extracting Demonic Path Value would be even faster!
Thinking about this, Lu Ze couldn't help but curl his lips.
He reopened the backend of 'if you're a Cultivator, then descend 100 floors' and began editing new maps.
In the morning, he had only put in the 500 maps he had previously made.
He felt it wasn't enough.
He had to be even harsher on others…
