He hadn't even left the beginner's village, and his level was already maxed out.
It was probably a rarity in the entire history of the Lord of Realms.
The rewards from the newcomer trial were incredibly generous.
This had a lot to do with the quality of his Lord's Heart.
A colored Lord's Heart was already beyond the mythic quality.
After the newcomer trial, there would be no more rewards. Even if he was max level now, he wouldn't get any.
Therefore, from this point on, he truly had to rely on his own efforts.
After the newcomer trial ended, there were many things he needed to do outside. Only at night could he return to his territory to cultivate.
Since the entire territory existed as his Lord's Heart, and he hadn't descended into the Lord of Realms yet, after leaving, the entire territory would enter his Lord's Heart in its initial form.
If he had descended into the Lord of Realms, and he wanted to return to Canglan Continent, he could choose to anchor his territory in place, and he himself could return to Canglan Continent. After finishing his business, he could then communicate with his Lord's Heart to return to his territory.
Zhou Yan felt that it was about time. He said to the women, "It's about time for me to leave the Lord of Realms. You all should focus on cultivating in the territory during this period."
"Mhm!"
"Okay."
"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything in the territory."
After giving his instructions, he clicked to leave the newcomer trial.
[Initiating teleportation...]
His entire being felt as if it were in the starry sky, enveloped in starlight.
The entire territory, on the other hand, seemed to be compressed, forming an independent void, and finally transforming into an ancient scroll, the very scroll in his mind.
The ancient scroll formed by the territory entered his body. The entire world was enveloped in a dazzling light, and he closed his eyes.
However, when he opened his eyes, he wasn't outside. Instead, he found himself in a place that resembled a celestial palace, with swirling mists all around, like a fairyland.
The spiritual energy here was indeed very dense. Just by being there, a significant amount of spiritual power was actively absorbed by his body.
If one were to cultivate in such a place, the cultivation speed would be at least a hundred times faster than outside. In just a short moment, he found the spiritual energy within his body rapidly increasing.
This spiritual energy was too pure and too dense.
He almost didn't want to leave.
He looked towards the main entrance. Gazing up at the gate, he estimated it to be a hundred meters high, with three shining golden characters inscribed on it: [Prestige Pavilion].
This time, he had gained over a hundred thousand in prestige. Naturally, he could exchange it for many good things upon leaving.
[You have two hundred and forty minutes to exchange for items of your choice. Once the time is up, you will be forcibly sent away.]
A voice devoid of emotion entered his mind, like that of a cold machine.
"Two hundred and forty minutes. That's enough time."
He wasted no more time, needing to hurry and exchange for good items.
The spiritual energy was just as dense inside the Prestige Pavilion as it was outside.
He had two hundred and forty minutes, which he believed was enough time for him to absorb a lot of spiritual energy.
Cultivation realms were not like levels; they couldn't be broken through so easily.
He walked towards the grand gate.
The Prestige Pavilion rarely opened, only at specific times.
It was open to newcomers every year during the newcomer trial, provided their prestige reached at least 100 to meet the opening requirements.
With his tens of thousands of prestige points, he stepped into the Prestige Pavilion.
Instantly, he felt as if he were in an ocean of treasures, with countless treasures floating in the air.
"So many treasures, I wish I could take them all home."
He had the thought, but unfortunately, he lacked the strength.
A holographic interface appeared before him, displaying the prices of various treasures.
It listed different categories of treasures and their descriptions, along with the prestige cost for exchange.
Weapons, armor, accessories, cloaks, shoulder guards, clothing, buildings, cultivation techniques, skills, materials, pets...
The categories were numerous, and clicking on a major category revealed many subcategories.
For example, weapons were divided into: sabers, spears, swords, halberds, staffs...
All sorts of weapons were available.
The lowest quality equipment here was Spirit Artifacts; there were no artifacts below Spirit Artifact quality.
This was the Prestige Pavilion, which only stocked the finest top-tier equipment.
"My goodness, even the cheapest Spirit Artifact requires several hundred prestige points to exchange."
He casually glanced at the prices of these items and found that the prices of these Spirit Artifacts varied. He didn't plan to exchange for weapons or armor, as these could eventually be found in the mysterious shop.
He should exchange for those particularly precious items, or treasures that his territory couldn't produce; that would be the best choice.
His cultivation technique was already the top-tier, so he didn't need to look at those.
As for skills, he could take a look.
Upon opening the skills section, categories appeared: Warrior, Magic, Daoist, Incantation, Mage, Archer, Restoration...
Another vast array of classifications, with dozens of types.
His class traits allowed him to learn any skill, and for a moment, he didn't know where to start.
He still had to choose one. He clicked on the Warrior category.
Then, further categories appeared: Martial Artist, Battle Qi, Berserker, Dark, Elemental...
Zhou Yan: "(｡ŏ_ŏ)"
He was speechless.
Sometimes, over-segmentation could truly drive one mad.
He clicked on Martial Artist.
Then, more appeared: Fist Techniques, Saber Techniques, Spear Techniques... Defense, Secret Arts...
Zhou Yan: "┗┃・□・┃┛"
Alright, he chose defensive skills. The main reason was that his offensive skills were already abundant, while he had no defensive skills at all.
...
...
After several more selections, he finally found the skill he wanted.
The skills here were all S-rank at the lowest, and RRR-rank at the highest.
He looked at an RRR-rank defensive skill. The prestige cost had four zeros; the lowest started at fifty thousand prestige points.
He was reluctant to exchange for such an excellent defensive skill.
He searched carefully and found a very good defensive skill.
[Skill: Dou Zhuan Gan Kun]
[Quality: R]
[Description: Forms a shield to protect oneself. Can transfer impending damage to another target, or even reflect it back to the enemy. When taking poison damage, can also expel the poison from the body, and can also be used on others.]
[Exchange Price: Twenty Thousand Prestige]
This skill was excellent. Spending twenty thousand prestige points to exchange for a life-saving skill was definitely worth it.
[Prestige - Twenty Thousand, Exchanged for "R·Dou Zhuan Xing Yi".]
Taking the skill book into his hand, he clicked to learn it.
[Learning "R·Dou Zhuan Xing Yi".]
He no longer looked at skills. He opened a "Special" category.
As a result, another large section of categories appeared...
He decided not to meticulously select anymore and chose random display. This classified selection was too tiring.
Even with random display, a lot of items appeared.
He browsed through them one by one, quickly scanning and refreshing, trying to find something that moved him.
As a result, when he refreshed to an item, he found that his Lord's Heart began to react.
He was surprised. Could his Lord's Heart also have something it needed?
It must be that he had refreshed something good. Da Feng Novel Network.
He intended to examine this interface carefully.
