Chapter 1: Grand World Update Package Successfully Bound!

Grand World.

Magnificent and vast, with dragons and phoenixes dancing, stars obscuring the world, and countless flourishing paths.

But just three days ago, the sky of Grand World changed.

On that day, there were booming sounds from deep within the sky, as if the heavens were beating like a drum or a crimson heart incessantly pounding. Then, a mysterious and unknown force covered the entire Grand World. The earth-shattering changes caught everyone off guard.

[Grand World Update Package Successfully Bound]

[This update includes the following content:]

[Grand World adds over 100,000 new side quests, randomly triggered...]

[Grand World reboots, Heaven's Dao updates]

[Fellow Daoist, may you ascend!]

Overnight, Grand World underwent a complete upheaval. The cultivation techniques and martial arts that had been deduced through countless years lost all their effects. Even the naturally nurtured Apex Level Spiritual Treasures had their spiritual energy dispersed, turning into rusty iron.

The powerhouses who once stood at the pinnacle of the Grand World lost their cultivation techniques, and their cultivation began to dissipate.

The whole world became different.

"A world update package? Updating Dao Level characters? It all feels strange," someone said.

It was as if they were suddenly implanted with a game package, and there were even NPC characters emerging from the Heavenly Dao.

"Why does my transmigration feel a bit unusual?" Gu Jing had transmigrated into this world three days ago, thinking it was a vast world for cultivation, where they could progress step by step and find opportunities to settle down.

But now, the old order had been reshuffled, and a mysterious set of rules covered the entire Grand World.

"It feels more like the games I've played before, with NPCs, main quests, side quests... all implanted into reality by a grand set of rules, integrating the game and the world."

So...

A vast fantasy world.

Unexpectedly gamified?

At the same time, it was said that after the upheaval began, mysterious and special spaces started appearing one after another in various places. These places were called "scenic areas" and would be pulled into unfamiliar spaces by a special force to complete certain special tasks.

What Gu Jing knew was that a mysterious bronze figure appeared in a nearby city. After wandering the streets for half an hour, a young person touched the bronze figure and unexpectedly entered the scenic area called "Eighteen Bronze Alley."

That person defeated the first level bronze figure.

And obtained the secret manual [Golden Iron Divine Technique - First Level].

Golden Iron Divine Technique was a purple-grade defensive martial art. After mastering all eighteen levels, one's defense would reach perfection, making it difficult for ordinary attacks to get close!

This made Gu Jing unable to help but ponder.

"Scenic areas are like dungeons in games. They appear randomly, and by completing them, one can obtain corresponding rewards such as martial arts, cultivation techniques, Spiritual Treasures, and so on."

"Isn't this a high-degree-of-freedom open-world fantasy game?"

"Instances, quests, they're all appearing, which suddenly makes me feel like the failure of those martial arts techniques is more like a closed beta test. The once powerful cultivators are facing the crisis of their cultivation collapsing."

With a thought from Gu Jing, a virtual panel suddenly appeared in front of him.

[Character: Gu Jing]

[Physique: Mortal Body]

[Cultivation: Divine Astral 1st Stage (0/100)]

[Martial Arts: Profound Darkness Finger (Invalid), Free Body Step (Invalid)]

[Spiritual Treasure: None]

[Main Quest: Ascending to Immortality (In Progress)]

[Side Quest: None]

[Soulmate: None]

[Resume: Eldest son of the Gu family, the first noble family of Holy Sun City. Gu Jing had the best talent in the family's annual test and was highly expected by the family. He grew up in an environment where he was spoiled by his parents and did all sorts of evil deeds. He caught the attention of the Divine Serenity Palace, a seventh-grade sect, and was considered a bad person but a good candidate for practicing the Divine Serenity Nine Frost Technique.]

Since the beginning of the Great Transformation, everyone in the Grand World has activated such a personal panel. They can clearly see their own status, data, attributes, and even upgrade progress.

Gu Jing had just entered the Divine Astral Realm not long ago. He was only at the 1st Stage of the Divine Astral Realm.

It is worth mentioning that due to the failure of the previous martial arts techniques, there are restrictions on those above the Core Condensation stage. Their cultivation began to decline, and their realm fell. Unless they find suitable techniques, their cultivation will disappear completely like ashes.

The cultivation realm is divided into nine stages of Body Tempering, ten stages of Divine Astral Rank, ten stages of Profound Spirit Rank, three stages of Core Condensation, six stages of Divine Core, nine stages of Gold Core, and then there are realms like Crimson Dawn and Nirvana that Gu Jing has not yet encountered.

"It seems that this is just the initial update, and there will be a series of updates in the future. I wonder what this world will become then."

In his previous life, Gu Jing was an avid game explorer and was quite knowledgeable about games. He now sees the Grand World as just a prototype of a game, everything is still blank, and it should continue to be updated and expanded in the future.

"The ten Dao Level figures are the world's NPCs. It is said that on that day, the boundless radiance spread in the sky, auspicious signs and Dao Rhyme hung like waterfalls, and these ten people emerged from it, powerful and mysterious." Gu Jing muttered softly while sitting in the Gu family's martial arts arena.

At this time, the second elder of the Gu family, Gu Jing's second uncle, didn't quite hear clearly and approached with a smile, saying, "Little Jing, did you just mention the Ten Immortals descending from the heavens?"

The ten Dao Level figures who emerged from the Heavenly Dao, due to their mystery and elusiveness, were called the Ten Immortals.

"The Ten Immortals! They are the ultimate existence, Dao Realm powerhouses standing at the pinnacle of the Dao. It's hard to imagine such majestic beings actually emerged from the depths of the Heavenly Dao. On that day, the divine radiance poured down, and countless strong individuals witnessed this shocking scene..."

Whenever the Ten Immortals were mentioned, the second uncle would talk endlessly.

Obviously, the topic of the Ten Immortals has been extremely hot recently.

"It is said that one of the Ten Immortals, the Sword Immortal Jiang Luo, has stunning talent in the Grand World. As soon as he appeared, he used a single sword to split a mountain range of thirty thousand miles, creating the Sword Immortal Abyss, shocking the world!"

"Tsk tsk, this world is becoming more and more amazing."

As the second uncle spoke, the light in his eyes became more intense, as if he also wanted to strive and make progress in this wonderful world.

Gulp!

He picked up the gourd and took a big gulp, and the light in his eyes was overwhelmed by the soaring alcohol.

Cultivate as an immortal?

A sip of wine is better than being an immortal!

Looking at this scene, Gu Jing shook his head helplessly.

Indeed, that's my unreliable second uncle.
