Rebirth of a Quasi-Immortal Spirit

It's really a wave of upheaval.

Gao Zhun sighed, "What a rip-off! Can someone tell me, wasn't the secret realm closed? Where have I been teleported to this time?"

It's understandable that you can be randomly teleported when entering a secret realm, but why is it also random when you leave?

Sure enough, nothing good ever comes of going out for training. Gao Zhun was already at her wit's end with her tendency to cause accidents during training. Looking at the obviously deserted grassland, she decided that it was better not to stand there complaining anymore and to ask someone for directions.

Although her strength has now approached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage due to acquiring a demonic body, her cultivation level is still genuinely at the late Nascent Soul stage. In this Immortal Spirit Continent where Nascent Soul cultivators are everywhere and Nascent Soul cultivators are as worthless as dogs, it is very dangerous for her to be all alone in a completely unfamiliar place.

She had no time to think too much. The vast grassland gave her a very peaceful and tranquil feeling. It was so peaceful and tranquil that there was not a single living creature in sight, which made her feel uneasy. Moreover, judging from the sky, night was about to fall. This was definitely not Gao Zhun overthinking, but anyone in this situation would only overthink.

It was obvious that something was wrong with this vast grassland. With the current range of her divine sense, she couldn't detect any living creatures other than plants, not even counting herself…

According to Murphy's Law, things can never get worse. It's just unknown whether this place becomes chaotic at night or if there is an extremely powerful being here that has devoured all other creatures.

Personally, Gao Zhun hoped for the first scenario, but she never expected it to be the third scenario, one that even with her wildest imagination, she could hardly have imagined!

Meanwhile, the entire Immortal Spirit Continent was in turmoil. Mortals and cultivators alike were all looking up at the sky, which was filled with countless images, each depicting a person. When someone tried to focus on someone of interest, that image would stand out from the myriad of smaller images…

Ah Zhong, who had visited the same Earth secret realm with Gao Zhun several times, was sitting on a bench, skillfully guiding the images from the sky to the courtyard wall, then clicking on them one by one, spitting out sunflower seed shells one after another. He thought to himself, "How come the world of cultivation civilization is starting to produce reality shows too? But the technology is really something else, projecting directly into the sky. Isn't this just forcibly promoting it to the entire living world?!"

However, before he could even finish being a bystander, the little figure in his arms flicked his finger, bringing up one of the thousands of images. When Ah Zhong saw who was in the picture, he was so shocked that he spat out the melon seeds, swallowed the shells, and stared blankly at the delighted Gao Ling and Madam Zhu, who had just laid out some snacks and fruits: "M-Master?!"

Gao Ling: "Sister, it's sister!" (*^▽^*)

Lady Zhu: "Didn't Zhun'er say he was going out to gain experience? What happened?" (⊙o⊙)

Ah Zhong: "I don't know either. How did I switch from being a cultivator to a reality TV actor? I wonder if there's a script, and how many spirit stones I get paid for it..." (vv)

High Spirit/Bamboo Wife: (*).

The scene shifts directly from where Gao Ling brought it up. Gao Zhun is in a daze when suddenly her soul jolts. A series of memories that don't belong to her gradually replace her original memories. Her expression changes from pain to confusion, and then from confusion to understanding.

At this moment, Gao Zhun's own memories were completely replaced, and her abilities as a cultivator were all sealed away. At the same time, the vast grassland, which was originally devoid of any living creatures except for plants, became lively. Herdsmen who relied on the grassland for their livelihood, filming crew members, and fellow actors who came from afar to join her—how could she have almost forgotten? She was participating in the recording of a large-scale celebrity reality show, and the reality show was broadcast live 24 hours a day across the entire network, making it impossible to question whether the reality show had a script.

This large-scale reality show truly pioneered a new era in the reality show industry. It was a large-scale online live broadcast program organized by the Ministry of Culture and Arts to celebrate the centenary of the domestic film and television industry. The program lasted for a month and invited a group of film and television actors, famous hosts, singers, artists, sports stars, and other celebrities whose names are familiar to most viewers across the country, or whose faces are always seen on the big screen. At the same time, Guinness World Records staff were also invited to apply for a Guinness World Record for this program, which was off the charts in terms of both the number of participants and the length of the live broadcast.

Rising star actor Gao Zhun and a group of his friends were also among those invited.

When Gao Zhun first received the contract for this program from her agency, her mouth was agape, practically wide enough to fit several eggs. She had truly never seen such an extravagant program. Had they mobilized all the resources in the country? That's why the pay was so pitifully low…

When Gao Zhun first learned of the invitation to the show, he refused. However, he couldn't resist the persuasion from his company and agent, as well as the barrage of requests from many friends. With tears in his eyes, he wrote the two characters "Gao Zhun" in a flamboyant style on the contract.

Online, whether it's the official website for this large-scale reality show or popular communication platforms like Weibo, netizens' enthusiasm has reached unprecedented levels. The whole country is practically deserted – everyone is staying home to watch their favorite idol's live stream. As for the general public who are fans of their idols, they can only use their phones, computers, TVs, laptops, and other devices in turn, wishing they had more than ten pairs of eyes and ears.

This background information flooded into the minds of everyone actually watching this 'reality show,' and those who learned the background all wore a bewildered expression, except for the Yun family, who were already in complete chaos—

The current head of the Yun family, Yun Tianming, had a gloomy face: "The Tianhua Illusion Mirror is operating beyond its capacity. It's certain that everything outside is related to the Tianhua Illusion Mirror. The spirit stone tank that supports the operation of the Tianhua Illusion Mirror is currently being consumed at a rate of one spirit crystal per quarter hour. Contact the families, sects, or forces behind all the people appearing in the images. The spirit crystals cannot be provided by our Yun family alone. Otherwise, let them wait for the Tianhua Illusion Mirror to collapse and everyone inside to be annihilated."

Upon receiving Yun Tianming's telepathic message, the leaders of each faction finally understood that everything was the work of the Tianhua Illusion Mirror. The families with extraordinary resources, after considering their ancestral precepts, felt reassured and readily provided the spirit crystals. As for the second-rate families, sects, and forces with insufficient resources and unaware of the situation, they dared not offend the Yun family, a top-tier family. Although they found it inexplicable, they wisely chose to pay to avoid trouble. Offending a top-tier family for a few (actually, many, many) spirit crystals was not a pleasant thought.

The sudden 'reality show' live broadcast has seriously affected everyone's daily life and cultivation. Moreover, the full-capacity operation of the spiritual treasure is beyond the control of the living beings. Helplessly, no matter what everyone is busy with, they have no choice but to stop everything they are doing. Anyway, it will only last for a month, so it won't delay anything. Those who don't know anyone have found a few people who look good and have the aura of a protagonist to focus on, while those who know someone are keeping a close eye on the episodes featuring that person.

As for the people of Luo Tian Continent who were unaware that they had lost a large number of spies, they fell into deep thought after their surprise. All the people appearing on the screen were those who had entered the secret realm, but where were their people?!

No, we have to contact our superiors. And so, the questions were passed up the chain of command, and in an instant, they reached the ears of the person in charge of this matter on the Luo Tian Continent. After the order to wait and see was given, the person in charge did not feel relieved at all. Instead, he felt a little uneasy, as if a storm was brewing. He was worried that the Immortal Spirit Continent, which had been peaceful for billions of years, would be thrown into turmoil again, and he wondered if his master would be able to make it in time.

Although it's called a 'reality show', it does have a background plot summary, character introductions and relationship descriptions, and the ending of the story.

As for how the characters behave and how the plot unfolds, it all depends on the guests participating in the reality show to improvise. What's most frustrating is that, apart from those who are already married and have children, all other couples must establish their relationships within this month-long reality show. This is arguably the most challenging main task in the entire reality show. As for hidden and side tasks, they are left for the guests to trigger themselves.

Of course, the most interesting part of the show is that the guests don't know whether the other guests are participating in the reality show or NPCs. If they are guests, then they are completely free to improvise. If they are NPCs, then there is a relatively fixed script. This is to prevent the reality show from being led astray by too many improvisational guests. Therefore, some NPCs are needed to bring the plot back on track when it goes wrong.

However, one thing is that no one can reveal in their daily interactions whether they are pure guests or NPCs arranged by the production team. At the end of the show, each guest must select ten pure guests and ten guest NPCs from the guests they have met. The audience will also participate in the guessing game. If they guess all of them correctly, they will receive the ultimate prize from the production team.

After thinking about it, Gao Zhun realized that the grand prize was indeed the most attractive part of the entire program.

Today is the first day of filming for the reality show. The first thing to do is to gather all the guests together. The production team leader distributes information about each guest's role in the show. Gao Zhun also received her assignment—surprisingly, she's a guest NPC with relatively little freedom, and the character is even male! (166 Reading Network)
