"Although the system can completely ignore the impact of the Foundation Establishment bottleneck on cultivators, these effects still exist. Even with the system's assistance, it will still impose some restrictions on cultivators."
"Although most low-level bottlenecks will break through on their own over time as long as the spiritual power stored in the body is large enough, due to the different aptitudes of cultivators, there will always be a large number of pseudo-Foundation Establishment, pseudo-Golden Core, and pseudo-Nascent Soul cultivators who advance through the system."
"They haven't actually reached the required level, but they're forcing themselves to use the high-level immortal techniques that come with the system. Naturally, the power of those techniques will be greatly reduced."
"After the Nascent Soul stage, there is no corresponding system support because the bottlenecks of each subsequent realm are extraordinary and the system can no longer ignore them."
"I think the reason why the Heavenly Court equips its subordinate immortals with systems is simply to enable them to quickly acquire a certain level of combat power. However, the consequences of doing so are very serious. It will make newly promoted immortals dependent on the system, and they will be at a loss when they leave the system."
"It's not that these immortals lack talent; it's that the bottlenecks accumulated in the past and the inertia generated by relying on the system will greatly hinder their next advancement. This is also the reason why many immortals are stuck at the Nascent Soul stage and can no longer make any progress."
"This is only one aspect of the problem. It is even more so in terms of the power of skills and the execution of skills. Anyone with a little knowledge of cultivation knows that there is no such thing as superior or inferior immortal techniques. The key is how to use them flexibly. The spiritual power clothing you are wearing is proof of this."
"In the system, 'Liuli' is a defensive magic, specifically designed to resist gaseous and liquid attacks. Wood element control is a basic auxiliary magic. Under the system's control, you can't possibly combine these two magics to create a piece of clothing. But without the system, the magic has such a magical effect."
"Teleporting thousands of miles only consumes spiritual energy for a fleeting moment upon activation, yet the system forcibly determines the ratio of distance to spiritual energy consumption, ignoring the vast differences in spiritual energy consumption among different teleportation methods. The system substitutes one method for all others, which is convenient, but it wastes spiritual energy and..."
"Huh? There should have been a god guarding this place?"
Wei Zheng suddenly stopped speaking and looked ahead in confusion. He saw a hole as tall as a person in the trunk of a towering tree by the roadside. It seemed that the guard Wei Zheng was talking about was on duty in that hole.
Wang Yao and Hui Shuo followed him quickly to the cave in the big tree, looking it over from top to bottom.
"Maybe this sentry post has been removed. Shall we go ahead and take another look?" Wang Yao said uncertainly.
"Who goes there? This is a war zone. Anyone who doesn't tell us where they come from will be treated as a spy from the demon realm and killed without mercy!" But then, a buzzing voice suddenly came from inside the tree hole.
"I am Wei Zheng from the Immortal Realm. I am accompanying the Lord of the Moon, the commander of the Three Realms' reinforcements, to the front line of Bird Return Ridge to organize the defense. You should have received the notification from above, right?" Wei Zheng hurriedly said to the tree hole.
"Wei... I received the notification, I received it. I... I will come to greet the... Lord Yue Lao immediately." The voice from the tree hole revealed a hint of panic, but also a lot of excitement. It hurriedly agreed and then disappeared.
Wei Zheng and Wang Yao exchanged a glance and were about to continue along the path when a flash of light appeared in the distance, and a tall, burly man suddenly appeared. Upon seeing the three of them, the man immediately rushed over.
"I am Lu Bu, the temporary commander of Bird Return Ridge in the Unyielding Divine Realm. May I ask which of you is the Old Man of the Moon? How many reinforcements have you brought? Where are they...? I need to arrange food and lodging for the reinforcements." General Lu rushed up to Wang Yao and Wei Zheng, clasped his hands in a fist, and asked hurriedly.
"Um... I am the matchmaker Wang Yao. The reinforcements haven't arrived yet, so I came to check on them first." Wang Yao also clasped his hands in a fist salute to this General Lü.
"Oh, that's troublesome!" Upon hearing what Wang Yao said, General Lü's face immediately turned extremely ugly.
"What's wrong? The demons have attacked?" Wang Yao asked hurriedly, his heart tightening.
"The demons haven't arrived yet, but... all the garrison troops at Bird Return Ridge have been transferred away!" General Lü shook his head.
"Transferred? Aren't you still here?" Wei Zheng asked in astonishment.
"It's just me and one of my men left," Lu Shenjiang explained, stamping his foot.
"I see!" Wei Zheng and Wang Yao looked at each other in surprise. From the time they heard the news that the demons had launched a large-scale attack on the God Realm to the time they came to Bird Return Ridge, not much time had actually been wasted. How could the Unyielding God Lord have withdrawn all the garrison here?
Didn't he say he would arrange for some of the divine army to guard Bird Return Ridge before reinforcements arrived? Why did he only arrange for one divine general and one divine soldier to guard it?
"It seems the pressure on the front line of the Unyielding Divine Realm's defenses is quite considerable!" Wei Zheng said to Wang Yao seriously.
"Well, let's go take a look." Wang Yao nodded. He was speechless in the face of this situation and could only go into the Bird Return Ridge stronghold first.
The group walked quickly for a short distance, then the path turned and the jungle receded, revealing a massive castle complex built against the mountain, facing south. The main part of the castle complex was firmly bound by a wall that rose abruptly from the mountainside, coiling around the mountain like a long snake.
The city wall protected the castles behind it, which were of varying sizes, high and low, stretching out to the left and right, all the way to the cliffs on both sides of the mountain range where the main castle complex was located. Even outside the protection of the city wall, there were still scattered castles standing there, like sentinels looking out from the mountains.
The entire castle complex is perched on the mountainside of a massive mountain range, with cliffs and steep, winding mountain paths below. At first glance, it truly appears as a formidable fortress, inspiring a sense of insurmountable despair.
