Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Li Zheng decided to drop the pretense and asked bluntly, "Do you know the concept of the universe?"

“I know!” Yan Bujin immediately replied, “The universe is vast and boundless, and this is the classification of cultivation techniques. Everyone in the Central Continent knows this.”

"...Tsk!"

Li Zheng felt a slight itch in his back molars and suddenly realized how terrifying it was to communicate with an illiterate person.

This is completely nonsensical!

He thought for a moment, then asked, "Do you know what a planet is?"

"Planet?"

He was puzzled. How could the immortal... no, the great demon be saying things that he only half understood?

A thought struck him: Could it be that the great demon... no, the immortal was giving him guidance?
He said repeatedly, "This junior does not understand, please enlighten me, Immortal Master."

"Holy crap!" Li Zheng was utterly speechless. "Can't you guys see the stars normally?"

"I can see it!" Yan Bujin suddenly realized: "The planets that the immortal mentioned are actually the celestial phenomena. In the Central Plains, there is a lineage that cultivates with the power of stars. They transform the stars of the heavens into different celestial phenomena and integrate them into the Purple Palace. When they encounter enemies, they activate the celestial phenomena to trigger killing intent!"
"I had the privilege of sparring with someone from the Star Palace, and narrowly won by half a move."

In reality, it was not a narrow victory by half a move.

He was beaten so badly by the other party that he was left with nothing but teeth on the ground. If the people of the Star Palace hadn't been so magnanimous in letting him go, he would have died two hundred years ago.

After listening, Li Zheng remained silent for a long time.

He finally understood. It turned out that this mysterious "cultivator" was a strange civilization that hadn't even left its own planet. They hadn't even figured out the concepts of planet and universe. They probably thought the land beneath their feet was a square continent.

Li Zheng patiently continued asking, "Can you fly?"

"Yes!" Yan Bujin replied immediately. "Cultivators who have reached the Nascent Soul stage can fly, it's not difficult. Before that, they can also control objects, which also allows them to soar through the sky."

“You can fly? That makes things easier.” Li Zheng immediately asked him, “Have you tried flying in one direction continuously?”

"This..." Yan Bujin hesitated for a moment, thinking that this was a necessary condition for some immortal master to impart his cultivation techniques, and honestly replied, "This junior does not have that, but this junior has heard that someone once did this: fly in one direction, and after leaving the continent, there is an endless sea. That endless sea is boundless, with only scattered islands scattered throughout. If you persevere and keep flying, you will see a landmass, and that landmass is in another direction from the Central Continent."

An elder once said that the Endless Sea was sealed by immortals; those who entered would never know its true nature and would instead be transported by a maze to the opposite side of the continent. This was the immortals' mercy, not holding mortals accountable for their offenses, protecting them while simultaneously using their divine power to warn the world against recklessly crossing the Endless Sea.

Okay, it's confirmed. The place where Yan Bujin is is also a planet inhabited by intelligent life, and it looks almost exactly the same as the planet Water Blue and Earthlings in terms of appearance, even the language is the same.

However, the civilization of my hometown is truly bizarre. Some people have circled the planet and still haven't realized that the earth beneath their feet is round.

Moreover, Yan Bujin himself said that once you reach the so-called Nascent Soul stage, you can fly through the air. Haven't these people ever thought about flying to a place high enough to see the world?
Li Zheng asked this question.

Yan Bujin replied: "What do you mean by this, Immortal Master? Isn't the Nine Heavens the Immortal Realm? Only after a cultivator has completed the Great Ascension stage and passed the Three Nine Heavenly Tribulations can they ascend to become an immortal and live forever."

Before that, the Nine Heavens were shrouded in dark clouds of heavenly tribulation. Anyone lacking sufficient cultivation who dared to fly into them would be struck by heavenly lightning, reduced to ashes, and die without a burial place!

What the hell is this heavenly tribulation... Li Zhengguang knew from the sound that the bastard who flew too high must have gone into the dark clouds and mistaken the lightning caused by the movement of the clouds for the so-called heavenly tribulation thunderclouds. He was so scared that he fled back and spread the above rumors to cover up the fact that he was terrified.

After talking with Yan Bujin for a while, Li Zheng's doubts not only failed to be resolved, but actually increased.

For example: Where does the inexhaustible speech come from? Is it because there are still intelligent races in their universe that have not been discovered by the terminal and emotional storms?
For example, what exactly is this so-called cultivation technique? How can it extend lifespan and condense a person's spirit to such a terrifying degree?

So many people in the outer city have been researching for countless years, yet they haven't even figured out how to condense the nodes. How come they can do it better with their so-called cultivation techniques?
And the most important point.

I can't fully express the language of my hometown, so why is it also Chinese?
Moreover, Yan Bujin's accent sounds like that of someone from the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.

He already thought it was strange that the planet Water Blue was so similar to Earth, but now an even stranger civilization had appeared, and all three parties used the same language, which was really a bit scary.

Furthermore, what exactly is this "heavenly tribulation" that Yan Bujin mentioned?

Natural phenomenon?

What natural phenomenon could cause people to be struck by lightning so frequently?
Finally, did the Marrow Cleansing Pill and Qi Cultivation Pill given by the treasure chest system come from Yan Bujin's hometown?
Li Zheng was filled with doubts, and he was equally puzzled.

This immortal seemed to be illiterate; he didn't know many things that even ordinary mortals who didn't cultivate knew, and had to ask me about them.

To be honest, Yan Bujin was already starting to doubt whether Li Zheng was really an immortal.

Unfortunately, the opponent's spirit was too vast, and he couldn't muster the will to resist. He could only suppress his temper and wait for an opportunity to escape in the future, and then seek the truth on his own.

Unfortunately, Li Zheng wouldn't give him that opportunity.

After a moment of contemplation, Li Zheng made a decision. He diverted a portion of his spiritual power to inscribe the contract runes from Mudala's body not far away and said to Yan Bujin, "Use your method to inscribe this rune on my body, and then you can leave."

"This is……"

Yan Bujin saw the rune clearly. Although he did not recognize the specific meaning of the rune, he had seen something similar by chance before.

"Immortal runes!"

He exclaimed inwardly in surprise, dispelling the idea that the person in front of him was not an immortal.

If one is not an immortal, how could one understand immortal runes?
It seems the immortal is quite satisfied with my answer. Is he going to teach me immortal runes?

If I could learn the immortal runes, why would I need to cultivate the path of the wandering immortal?
You might even become an immortal on the spot!

This immortal rune is probably used to test whether one has talent. Only by perfectly inscribing it as the immortal master said, and proving one's ability, can one be qualified to learn immortal runes next!

Unable to contain his excitement, he immediately set out to try and use his "divine sense" to replicate the immortal runes.

After several attempts, he successfully left a complete mark on Li Zheng's spirit.

The moment the mark was formed, Yan Bujin's eyes lost their luster, and he knelt down woodenly, prostrating himself on the ground, and said, "Your subordinate greets Your Majesty!"
