Everything seemed the same as before, except that Guo Jia had appeared here.

The four obediently drank tea, waiting for Meng Fan to speak.

Meng Fan has been studying the ultra-high-level energy of this world for the past thirty years and has already gained some understanding of it. He has a deeper purpose in dealing with Liu Bei and the other three.

"I won't waste any more words. Since you've chosen the second option, you'll automatically become disciples of my Cloud Palace. This is something you'll need to learn. I'll place you in a Middle Thousand World, and how far you go depends on yourselves."

Without wasting any words, Meng Fan directly teleported them to a middle-thousand world in a sea area. The highest cultivation level in this world could reach the Immortal Realm, and he also gave them a jade talisman that recorded what Meng Fan had learned. Only their souls could view it.

"Your role is very important. You must work hard in your cultivation. And when you travel in the future, you should be careful. The cultivation world is full of people who will eat you without spitting out the bones. You must be careful."

"As for when we can meet again, that will be when you have achieved success in your cultivation."

Meng Fan disappeared after he finished speaking. As for what level of cultivation is considered successful, let them figure it out themselves.

Meng Fan had an immature plan for these four people, but their cultivation level was too low to understand it if he explained it to them.

He sat cross-legged in this unknown sea, his expression solemn, and murmured, "Illusion becomes reality, creation is nothingness."

Suddenly, a trace of energy of unknown composition appeared out of nowhere.

"Cultivation level improved!"

Meng Fan stared intently as that strangely familiar energy entered his body, feeling a slight regret as he realized that his cultivation level remained completely unchanged.

"No, that's not right."

Meng Fan carefully examined the sensation again, then suddenly burst into wild joy and laughter.

It turns out that his cultivation level hadn't stopped increasing; rather, his cultivation level was so vast that the slight increase was like pouring a cup of water into the ocean—it was imperceptible without careful observation.
