Chapter 255: The Sect Master is from Blue Star?
After the deaths of Lang Yun and several others from the Tai Xuan Sect, only the Tai Xuan Sect engaged in a brief discussion.
It did not cause any ripples in the outside world.
It was merely the death of a few Foundation Establishment Stage disciples.
Even if others heard about it, it would not cause any stir.
In the cultivation world, Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators are as common as blades of grass, no different from mortals.
Many cultivators die every day.
It is cruel, but it is also realistic.
Song Jiulai did not return to the mine immediately. Instead, she returned to Xuanwu City as if nothing had happened.
After slacking off for a few days and understanding the process and quantity required for her mining, she gained a deeper understanding of Guanhai Sect’s capitalistic methods.
“I used to think Myriad Immortal Sect’s taxes were unreasonable, but now I think they were quite lenient.”
Mining and gathering resources in the Longshuang Great Marsh is no easy feat. With such rampant robbery, even if a small portion of the resources could be kept, they might still be stolen.
No wonder they need so many Qi Refining Stage and Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators to mine, while the Major Sects’ own disciples rarely come.
It’s hard work and they don’t get paid much.
However, Song Jiulai did not fall into a trap: “But paying taxes next year will also be a headache.”
With so many more people, the amount of Spirit Stones to be paid will be substantial.
Just thinking about that amount made Song Jiulai’s heart ache.
This is all hard-earned money from her and the Players!
These taxes are definitely unreasonable.
The System said: “The rules are set this way, there’s nothing that can be done.”
“The rules are like this, but they are still unreasonable.” Song Jiulai, as a Modern Person, could understand this model in the cultivation world, but that didn’t mean she supported it.
The System suddenly said: “Now that you are here, you can only act according to the rules here.”
“That’s because I’m not strong enough yet.” Song Jiulai had a clear understanding of herself: “Unless I have the ability to overturn the rules, when I have the ability to overturn the rules—”
If it were before, she definitely wouldn’t dare to think like this.
But thinking about the mysterious System she carried, and the Players behind her.
She had a beautiful vision for the future: “I’ll change this tax system first!”
The System gasped: “When you have the ability to overturn the rules, you’ll still be concerned about your broken tax system?”
If she could reach that point, Song Jiulai would be ruling over everyone on the Yunzhou Continent.
Song Jiulai chuckled: “I haven’t seen much of the world before, and I don’t have too many desires for now, so let’s leave it at that.”
The System curiously asked about another matter: “If one day you can return to Blue Star, and you can also get a wish, would you want to know if your biological parents are still alive?”
Upon hearing this, Song Jiulai paused, then scratched her head after a while: “Perhaps.”
As an orphan, how could she not have thoughts about her biological parents?
However, after so many years, those thoughts were just thoughts.
She had long come to terms with these matters and wouldn’t have any special feelings.
But if that opportunity truly arose, she would still choose it, just to fulfill a trivial wish.
The System said “Oh.”
Song Jiulai suddenly seized upon a loophole: “You just said I can return to Blue Star and get a chance to fulfill a wish? Is that the final reward for the Task?”
System: “…Logically speaking, it will definitely fulfill one of your wishes.”
“What?” Song Jiulai’s voice rose: “You mean, after I work hard, and develop this Sect into the number one Sect on the Yunzhou Continent, my final reward is just one wish?”
System: “That’s a wish! Think about it, with my Technology, what wish can’t you accomplish? What, you’re not satisfied with just one wish?”
Song Jiulai: “Of course I’m not satisfied! I have so many wishes. I not only want to know who my parents are, but I also want to know who you are. I want to travel through Space. I have an even more down-to-earth wish: I want to live forever. You can only grant me one?”
System: “You’re quite down-to-earth. Let’s not argue about this for now. You focus on your Tasks, and the reward will change based on the quality of your completed Tasks.”
“Oh.” Song Jiulai sat on the Flying Magic Treasure and slowly flew back to Xuanwu City, continuing to banter with the System: “Then, as a System with such advanced Technology, why do you want me to revitalize a Sect on a continent?”
System: “Oh, that’s classified. Don’t ask, I won’t tell you even if you ask. It’s a waste of breath.”
It seemed as if her human-System dialogue could faintly echo among the crowd.
“Who else can I talk to besides you? I have so many children now, but only you truly understand your mother’s heart.”
System: “You unfilial child.”

“Hello everyone, my name is Tan Qianqiu, and I am an ordinary UP host. Of course, this is not my real name; it’s my in-game name.”
“A month ago, I was fortunate enough to obtain the qualification for the currently popular game, Shattered Sect, which directly caused Blue Star’s Technology to soar and completely shattered the three views of scientists.”
“In the game over the past month, to ensure the survival of my account, I’ve cautiously played as a Life Player, not daring to go too far. I’m responsible for planting Spirit Herbs and earning Points daily. Of course, I know many viewers are currently watching the live broadcasts of the Big Shot Han Tian and have already seen from his broadcasts how outrageously real this World is.”
“I’m making this video to analyze from another angle. 《Shattered Sect》, is it a Real World, or just a game? Personally, I’m leaning towards the former.”
“Over the past two months, I’ve chatted with many Mortals in the game. From their reactions and logic, I can feel that it’s an incredibly real world. They are no different from us humans. With my limited brain capacity and already shallow wisdom, I cannot imagine what kind of Technology could create a game so outrageously real.”
“Or rather, if it truly isn’t a game, then the origin of the Sect Master and the main Task’s requirement for our Sect to develop into the number one Sect becomes very intriguing.”
“I have gained a preliminary understanding of what kind of world the Yunzhou Continent is. This world has a complete logical chain under its rules and is a pure cultivation world. However, our Sect Master’s requirements for us are actually somewhat contrary to this world. Firstly, we are warned not to offend NPCs, but the Mortals on the Yunzhou Continent cannot be considered pure NPCs. Even in the eyes of us Cultivators, Mortals are no different from slaves. Despite this, we are still required not to harm Mortals.”
“If we deduce from this logic, if the Sect Master were a native of Yunzhou, she wouldn’t have such strange requirements for Players. So, what if this Sect Master is also someone from Blue Star?”
