The system gave me immortality, and I survived everyone

Looking at Zhang Ling, who was bowing to him, the Taoist sage said calmly, "I already know about your situation."

"It is understandable that Emperor Fu is dissatisfied with this, but it is not a big deal."

"I will go to see Emperor Fu in person after a while, and he will naturally give me that face."

"Furthermore, if you are willing, I can accept you as a disciple under my name."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ling, who had been bowing his head, said, "My master is from the Taoist lineage, and you are a Taoist sage. All the Taoist disciples in the world are your disciples!"

Hearing Zhang Ling's words, the Taoist sage naturally knew that this was his tactful refusal.

Seeing this, the Taoist sage was not angry, but spoke softly.

"You have your own ideas, and I won't force you."

"Although I have accepted you as a disciple under my name, I have only ever accepted one disciple under my name in my entire life."

"If he were here, the situation wouldn't be so complicated."

"Senior, do you have a successor?"

Zhang Ling asked curiously, and the Taoist sage smiled faintly and said, "Of course!"

“A long time ago, I met a very talented young man. I admired his talent and took him as my disciple.”

"Although he is a disciple in name only, I have taught him everything I know."

"As it turned out, he did not disappoint me. It's just a pity that we later had some disagreements, so we stopped seeing each other."

"Who is he?"

Driven by curiosity, Zhang Ling asked a question subconsciously.

Upon hearing this, the Taoist sage calmly said, "His name is Ge Hong. Not many people in the Longevity Era know of him."

......

Void.

Looking at the black hole in the distance, Yin Jie's expression became extremely solemn.

Because even with his cultivation level, he couldn't see through the situation inside.

Even more bizarrely, several powerful figures from the Longevity Era seemed to have suddenly disappeared, all of them vanishing on their way to a cosmic black hole.

Thinking of this, Yin Jie breathed a sigh of relief and then flew directly towards the cosmic black hole.

"Buzz!"

As they drew closer, a powerful suction force pulled at Yin Jie's body.

However, as a quasi-emperor of the present day, Yin Jie did not take this danger seriously.

His body trembled with divine power, and the powerful pulling force was instantly neutralized.

After resolving the immediate minor problem, Yin Jie continued his journey toward the cosmic black hole.

"boom!"

A golden light barrier blocked Yin Jie's path.

Looking at the dense Dao patterns, Yin Jie waved his hand, and a gap immediately appeared in the indestructible barrier.

"brush!"

Passing through the gap, Yin Jie continued deeper, unaware that a pair of eyes were silently watching him.

"Chen Changsheng, you just let this little brat in like that?"

"Letting him in so easily, won't it make us look incompetent?"

Faced with Bai Ze's questioning, Chen Changsheng glanced at the image in the Xuan Guang Mirror and said.

"The outer arrays, Dao patterns, and restrictions are not to prevent others from entering, but to protect them."

“The environment inside a black hole is extremely harsh; for ordinary cultivators, entering it would be certain death.”

"If we don't set some barriers, a lot of people will die here."

"The virtual world is a business, not a slaughterhouse. If too many people die, it will affect our ability to make money."

Hearing Chen Changsheng's words, Bai Ze said speechlessly, "It's your business if you kill someone, it's none of my business."

"I just want to ask, why did you put this little brat in there?"

"We've finally found a tough guy, so let me have some fun with him."

Seeing Bai Ze's dissatisfied expression, Chen Changsheng smiled faintly and said, "Yin Jie is at the third level of Quasi-Emperor cultivation, so it's normal that those things outside can't stop him."

"The real key to cosmic black holes is that they allow entry but not exit; it's easy for them to get in, but difficult for them to get out."

"If you really want to play, then use this."

As he spoke, Chen Changsheng handed Bai Ze a bracelet.

Looking at the bracelet covered in patterns, Bai Ze asked curiously, "What is this?"

"A mind connector. Wear this and you'll be able to control the puppets I create."

"Haven't we had this before?"

"Why did you change your name again?"

Bai Ze kept fiddling with the bracelet, and Chen Changsheng said, "The previous one was just the basic version, this one is the upgraded version."

"Is there a difference?"

"Of course there are. The basic version can only issue simple commands, and the puppet's behavior is directed by Ultron."

"But this thing allows you to directly control the puppet; to put it simply, it's like having an avatar outside your body."

"It's simple to let the virtual world contain the cultivators' divine sense, but to enable these people's divine sense to use supernatural powers in the virtual world, there are too many things involved."

"The most troublesome of these is the transmission of a cultivator's consciousness."

"Because when a cultivator uses supernatural powers, the amount of consciousness they employ is enormous. Without special technology, the virtual world cannot meet my requirements."

Upon hearing this, Bai Ze's eyes widened immediately, and he said, "So what I have in my hand is just a derivative of the virtual world?"

"Correct!"

"Do you know what this technology of freely controlling external avatars means?"

"Of course I know!"

Chen Changsheng smiled slightly and said, "Cultivating an external avatar is extremely difficult, and only a few techniques in the world can achieve it."

"But if you think about it carefully, you'll find that things like avatars can be replaced."

"The purpose of cultivating an external avatar is simply to prevent the main body from doing some dangerous things."

"Since it's going on an adventure in my place, then there's no difference between a clone and a puppet."

"The reason why the cultivation world doesn't need to take risks on behalf of oneself is twofold: first, because the control range of puppets is limited, and second, because the perception and reaction of puppets are not as good as those of clones."

"Today, distance problems can be solved with the technology of the Kirin communicator, and perception and reaction speed can be solved with the technology of the virtual world."

"Now that the two key issues have been resolved, why can't I create a puppet that can replace my external avatar?"

Looking at Chen Changsheng's smiling face, Bai Ze's lips twitched as he spoke.

"Could this technology be used to create a special puppet army?"

"A puppet army is unnecessary, because puppet tactics rely on numbers to win. I can create many puppets, but I cannot control many people at the same time."

"However, if we can't build a puppet army, building a special puppet squad is still a good option."

"With top-tier puppet bodies and top-tier cultivators controlling them, I believe they will be able to wreak havoc everywhere."

"Didn't you say you didn't have access to cosmic black holes? How come you have this thing now!"

"I didn't set any permissions for the black hole, but I didn't say I wouldn't add more methods to it."

"The Five Spirits Quest is an advertisement that makes the virtual world famous. I can ignore the trouble that these kids like Mo Bai are causing."

"If others want to cause trouble, I'll just have to teach them a lesson."

White Pond:"......"

Poor Yin Jie, you're probably in for a world of trouble this time.
