nSystem Activation

nThe Spirit Valley!

nAn old man in a dark Taoist robe tried to float in the air.

nWhen he could see the entire Spirit Valley, he finally stopped and stood in the air with his hands behind his back.

nHe looked at the people who were cultivating hard and nodded.

n“Everyone, stop! I’ll make an announcement!”

n“The outer sect disciple assessment will begin at the end of this month. Those who pass will be directly promoted to inner sect disciples. Those who do not pass will be expelled from the sect!”

n“I hope that everyone will make good use of their time to cultivate and strive to shine in this assessment!”

nThe voice spread in all directions and finally reached the ears of everyone in the valley.

nAs soon as he finished speaking, the old man’s figure disappeared in the air, as if no one had ever been there.

n“What’s the situation?”

nThe outer sect disciples who were cultivating all looked up when they heard the sound.

nHowever, they did not see anyone.

nHe didn’t know where the voice came from.

n“There’s an assessment this month?”

nAfter asking around, he found out that it was an elder who had told him.

nIn a short while, a few people immediately gathered together and started discussing.

n“No, I’m only at the fourth layer of the Qi cultivation!”

n“You’re not bad, I’m only at the peak of the third layer!”

n“Alas, I won’t be expelled from the sect, right?”

n“What’s there to be afraid of? there’s still Zhou Yun at the bottom!”

n“That’s right, he’s only at first layer of Qi cultivation. I’m at the second layer of Qi cultivation, what have I got to be afraid of?”

nZhou Yun also heard the news at this time. He laughed bitterly in his heart.

n“Have they decided to lay off the staff? It seems that the spiritual Qi in this world is really not enough!”

nFor some unknown reason, the spiritual Qi in this world had started to decline a thousand years ago.

nIt became thinner and thinner.

nIn the past one thousand years, countless spiritual Springs had dried up due to the dissipation of spiritual Qi.

nMany powerful sects that relied on the spiritual mountains and spiritual s prings were also destroyed.

nThere were even some places where the spiritual Qi was thin to begin with. The spiritual Qi completely dissipated, and they were reduced to ordinary soil.

nThe resources of the entire cultivation world were becoming more and more scarce.

nAs a result, the various sects became at daggers drawn.

nThey all started to fight for resources.

nMany forces would not hesitate to fight for a bit of cultivation resources.

nIn the past few decades, the entire immortal cultivation world had been in a state of chaos.

nCountless powerful forces were reduced to ashes.

nLater on, the various sects realized that it was not a good idea to continue fighting like this.

nThey could only find another way out.

nIn the end, everyone unanimously decided to fire the sect’s outer disciples to reduce the pressure of the shortage of spiritual Qi.

nThis was the only method the sects could think of.

nBy reducing the unnecessary consumption of immortal cultivation resources, they could slow down the rate of spiritual Qi depletion.

nAs a result, the major sects began to lay off disciples.

nIt was only now that the Spirit Valley had finally decided to lay off members.

nAs soon as the news of the dismissal was announced, some people in the Spirit Valley were happy and some were sad.

nThe inner sect disciples were naturally delighted.

nMany of the inner court disciples gloated when they heard the news.

n“This year’s outer sect disciple examination will definitely be very exciting. Who knows, there might be quite a number of people who will risk their lives!”

n“Haha, it’s good to see more blood!”

nThey teased him with a relaxed expression.

nThis was because they didn’t need to take the test and could still watch the show.

nMoreover, reducing the number of outer disciples was equivalent to increasing their cultivation resources.

nAs early as a hundred years ago, there was news that the Spirit Valley was going to lay off desciples.

nAt that time, they were still outer sect disciples, so naturally, they had been in a state of apprehension for many years.

nOnly when he broke through to the Qi cultivation stage and became an inner sect disciple did he finally relax.

nAnd the news of the layoff was not necessarily good for the current outer disciples.

nEspecially for Zhou Yun, who was at the bottom of the outer disciples, it was definitely bad news.

nZhou Yun had entered the sect for a year.

nThe students in the same batch as him had already broken through to fourth or fifth layer of Qi cultivation.

nThey all joined the various instructors.

nHe was the only one who had not been able to break through.

nHe was also an outer sect disciple, so he naturally had to participate in the outer sect disciple assessment this time.

nAnd among the outer sect disciples, his cultivation realm was the lowest.

nFirst layer of Qi cultivation!

nThe juniors who entered the sect a stage later than him had basically broken through to second or third layer.

nIn other words, he was probably the cultivator with the lowest realm in the entire Spirit Valley.

nSo, if everything went as planned, he would definitely be first on the layoff list.

n“There’s less than a month left. If I can’t break through by then, I’ll be in trouble.”

nZhou Yun could feel the weak spiritual Qi in his body and he smiled bitterly.

nCultivation was already very difficult.

nHe was afraid that he would never be able to break through in his life.

nIf one wanted to step onto the immortal path, cultivation resources were indispensable.

nIn terms of wealth, companion, law, land, wealth referred to spirit stones.

nIn this era where spiritual Qi was scarce.

nWithout spirit stones, it would be impossible to break through just by absorbing spiritual Qi.

nOriginally, cultivating in the Spirit Valley would give them some leftover cultivation resources.

nIf he left Spirit Valley, he would not even have these scraps.

nAt that time, there would be no more hope.

nEven though he had already expected this outcome.

nAfter all, it wasn’t just a year or two since the Spirit Valley wanted to lay off employees.

nIt was already known to everyone.

nHowever, he still felt a little unwilling in his heart.

nHe had been cultivating all this time, but he was stuck at the first stage.

nHe had been unable to advance an inch.

n“Could it be because of transmigration?”

nZhou Yun kept thinking about the reason why he could not break through.

nOther than transmigration, he could not think of any other possibility.

nHe was originally an office worker on planet Bluect, and when he woke up, he found himself in this place.

nHe had even transmigrated to a host with the same name as him.

nWhen he first came, he was already at the first level of essence. Now, a year had passed, and he was still at the first level.

n“It should be because I transmigrated, so I can’t absorb the spiritual Qi here.”

nZhou Yun recalled the students who were originally in the same batch as him but had now entered the tutelage of their respective instructors. He sighed in his heart.

nHe was clearly the most hardworking student in his batch.

nHowever, his cultivation level was the lowest in the sect.

nEven some of the juniors slowly turned from admiration to disdain.

nNow that he was facing the risk of being laid off, he was very unwilling.

nIt wasn’t easy to experience such an exciting life.

nHow could he be a mortal again?

nJust as he was in despair, an emotionless voice sounded in his mind.

n“The God-level sudden enlightenment system has awakened!”

nZhou Yun suddenly raised his head.

n“System?”

nHis originally disappointed eyes were immediately filled with hope.

nThen, he was a little uncertain.

n“The system is a God-level enlightenment system. Would you like to bind it?”

nThe system’s cold voice was like the sound of nature in his ears.

nHaving read all kinds of novels, he naturally knew the weight of this sentence in his mind.

nZhou Yun’s heart, which had been tensed up for many years, finally relaxed at this moment.

nHis plug-in was in his account!
