Wang Ming was shocked. Everything that had happened to him corresponded perfectly with the characteristics of a cultivator, which confirmed his identity as a cultivator.

"I'll call this colorless, odorless, and formless mist spiritual energy for now. My nascent soul can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to strengthen my power, but the spiritual energy here seems too thin, not enough for my nascent soul to absorb."

"This must be what the novels refer to as the difference between blessed lands and grotto-heavens."

"However, some things are different from the situation of cultivators in novels."

"I don't practice any cultivation techniques, but the nascent soul in my body is autonomously absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, which is different from what is described in novels."

"Furthermore, the nascent soul within me was formed in a single day, not through years of cultivation; it was a change brought to me by the Yuan Domain."

"Both of these are somewhat different from those in the novel."

"No, if that's the case, I do have cultivation techniques in the Yuan Domain, and the fact that I was able to form a Nascent Soul in my body today is something I obtained step by step in the Yuan Domain."

Wang Ming thought of the cultivation technique in the Yuan Domain - Soul Devouring, and his experiences in the game over this period of time, and his mind suddenly became clear.

"I didn't transform into a Nascent Soul in a single day. Instead, I advanced step by step to the Nascent Soul Realm within the Yuan Domain. However, since the game and reality have now synchronized, a Nascent Soul has appeared within me, and I can now absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth in reality!"

"However, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the real world is too thin, so it is not as fast as killing monsters in the Yuan Domain to improve strength."

"Li Da said that after the Nascent Soul stage, every time you advance to the next realm, your strength in the real world will increase again. Furthermore, level 70 monsters can absorb divine essence, which can further accelerate your strength."

Thinking of this, Wang Ming looked forward to the completion of the Yuan Domain update even more. After standing up, Wang Ming flew towards his home.

Shortly after Wang Ming left, the group arrived at the broken mountainside.

The group consisted of five people, led by an elderly man with white hair, behind whom stood four others.

One was a middle-aged strong man in a blue robe, another was a refined young man, and the third was a beautiful young woman in her thirties. Wang Ming recognized the last one as Li Da.

"Old Qin, I clearly remember that this was a mountain a hundred meters high. How did it become like this?"

"Li Da, if it's really as you say, then we're in trouble."

"Judging from the energy fluctuations we've monitored, this nightmare is at least at the early stage of Rank A, and possibly even at the mid-stage of Rank A."

The middle-aged man in the blue robe looked grave upon hearing Li Da's words.

"Wh-what? An A-level Nightmare? How is that possible? How could a Nightmare of this level appear in the real world?"

"Hmph, nothing is impossible. I felt something was wrong when the Nightmares in Yanjing disappeared during this period. Now it seems that these Nightmares must have some kind of conspiracy."

"Zhao Kunlun, do you think this was the work of a nightmare?"

"Elder Qin, our equipment has only detected an energy surge here, but we cannot determine whether it is a nightmare."

"Zhao Kunlun, what do you mean? If it's not a nightmare, what else could it be?"

"Bai Mang, Zhao Kunlun means that the person who caused this situation could also be a superhuman."

Seeing that the burly man in the green robe was somewhat agitated, the beautiful young woman explained on Zhao Kunlun's behalf.

"How is this possible, Madam Lin? Not to mention Elder Qin, you, me, and Zhao Kunlun are only at the initial stage of A-level, and we still cannot enter the intermediate stage of A-level."

"You're telling me now that a strange A-level ability user has appeared here? You might believe that, but I don't."

"Mr. Qin, what do you think?"

“Li Da,”

“What you all say makes sense, but whether it’s a newly promoted superhuman or a nightmare, the presence here is a destabilizing factor. We need to find him as soon as possible to prevent him from causing harm to Yanjing City.”

"Zhao Kunlun, Bai Mang, I'll leave this matter to you two. If it's a Nightmare, you must kill it. If it really is a superhuman, you must bring it into the China Guardian Alliance."

"Yes, Elder Qin."

......

"System notification: Welcome to the Metaverse. You have received double experience points and double drop rate bonuses, which will last for 24 hours."

"System notification: The Nation War system will officially begin in one month. At that time, you can participate in the Nation War, earn Nation War points, and improve the strength of your region."

"The update is finally complete, I can go for the third job advancement now."

Wang Ming arrived at the teleportation gate of Daylight City and was teleported to Crimson Sky City.

Upon arriving in Chixiao City, Wang Ming went straight to the location of the Tower of Inheritance, took out the restriction token, and then entered the Tower of Inheritance.

"System prompt: You are currently undertaking the 3rd job advancement quest for the Chaos Fist Master. Please defeat the illusion of the Chaos Fist Master. Successful defeat will result in a successful job advancement; otherwise, the job advancement will fail."

"Still challenging illusions, hehe, not difficult."

Wang Ming took the initiative to attack upon seeing the illusion before him.

He killed him with just one punch.

"System notification: Congratulations on defeating the illusion of Chaos Fist Master and passing the third job advancement of Chaos Fist Master."

"System notification: Your unique hidden class's talent skills have changed. Please check them yourself."

"System notification: Congratulations, you have learned a new skill - Punishment Fist".

"System notification: Congratulations, you have learned a new skill - Heavy Punch."

"System notification: Congratulations, you have learned a new skill - Armor-Piercing Fist".

"System notification: Congratulations, you have learned a new skill - Fist of Rage".

"System notification: You have passed the 3rd transformation of Chaos Fist Master, passed the test of Chaos Fist Master, and gained the recognition of the companion soul weapon inheritance tower - Tower of Babel. The companion soul weapon - Tower of Babel has been bound."

A system notification sounded, and Wang Ming was forcibly teleported outside the Tower of Inheritance. The tower, which was originally ten feet tall, rapidly shrank and flew towards Wang Ming.

Wang Ming reached out and caught the Tower of Inheritance.

"System notification: Congratulations on obtaining the companion soul artifact - Tower of Babel".

"The Tower of Babel?" Wang Ming examined the small tower in front of him, then checked its attributes.

In ancient times, the first leader of the Fist Immortal Sect traveled across the various continents of the Yuan Domain and found a Primordial Stone. Later, he added various rare stones such as Chaos Stone, Destiny Stone, and Meteorite to create the super artifact - Chaos Origin Gauntlets.

The Chaos Origin Gauntlets are an accompanying artifact. They were severely damaged during the ancient war between immortals and demons, causing their power to drop and their strength to be greatly reduced. They can be restored by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Players who have already recognized them as their masters can use them to save their lives.
