第1351章 初解乐土谜

Initially, the environment around them remained unchanged. However, after completing all three dream boundaries, their surroundings began to shift once again.

They were still within the jurisdiction of Autumn Stream County in the Five Elders Association, but compared to the sparsely populated area before, this place was bustling with activity. Not only did cities and towns teem with cultivators, even previously desolate wilderness areas suddenly sprouted countless buildings.

Moreover, these structures seemed to be inhabited by cultivators. The changes weren't limited to the external environment; they also affected the cultivators themselves.

"Second Brother Sun, Golden Core Complete, Number of Deaths: 1."

"Paradise Experience Level: 2."

"Current Unlockable Dream World Level: 3"

"Joy Coin: 2000."... These were details that Second Brother Sun and his companions could see about themselves. Once the pink progress bar was fully filled, their Paradise experience level finally advanced to Level 2.

They now had the option to unlock dream worlds. Additionally, there were other more detailed pieces of information.

When focusing on these texts in their minds, explanations began to appear, no longer relying solely on guesswork.

Second Brother Sun carefully read each item to avoid missing any crucial details.

"Originally, local cultivators from the Five Elders Association entering the Joyful Paradise would also undergo three dream world tests. However, it wouldn't be as difficult as what we experienced. According to the Paradise's description, the difficulty level of their world was already at Level 3."

"Our unique experiences stem from us not being members of the Five Elders Association; instead, we are unauthorized outsiders who擅自闯入了乐土!"

"However, the Supreme Lord is merciful and won't directly expel us. Instead, they will impose a dream test. If successful, one can officially join the Paradise Dream World. Failure in the test means permanent expulsion from the Paradise. As punishment for constructing these dreams, a significant portion of their soul force would be extracted..." Second Brother Sun's expression turned grim.

He exchanged glances with Wang Xuanbao and Ye Zhenwei before continuing to read.

"The place we encountered upon entering the dream was actually a transit point leading to the test dream world. All first-time enterers of the Paradise would appear there."

"In the Paradise Dream World, cultivators cannot harm each other; if this rule is ignored and violent conflict ensues, the attacked party will be relocated to a safe area. Depending on the severity, the attacker's Joy Coins may be deducted."

"Joy Coins, or Paradise Coins as they are also called, are rewards for exploration activities within the Paradise Dream World. They can be used in the Supreme Lord’s treasury to acquire various resources and enhance one's cultivation."

"The Supreme Lord’s treasury is filled with all manner of treasures..." Second Brother Sun looked at his 2000 Joy Coins and opened the details page of the treasury.

Immediately, he was stunned. Even with a Paradise Experience Level of 2, which limited what he could see, the variety of items in the treasury still left him speechless.

Not only were basic materials like heaven and earth treasures, elixirs, and magical artifacts present, but even cultivation methods were commonplace here. Unlike those popular in the Xuan Huang World, these cultivation methods allowed for advancement to the Spirit Transformation realm at minimum.

Furthermore, according to the Paradise’s explanation, there was no need to worry about the complexity of the cultivation methods making it difficult to practice; once exchanged, one could instantly enter the realm.

Spending Joy Coins would accelerate the progress in cultivation methods.

"Once learned, these cultivation methods cannot be shared with others. However, they can be transferred before learning."

"This way, while there is no restriction on cultivating multiple techniques simultaneously in the Paradise, it's close enough to make a difference. Cultivation requires exchanging and paying."

"The initial synchronization of cultivation levels from the real world only occurs upon entering the Paradise for the first time; future progress within the Paradise cannot be brought back to reality." Second Brother Sun frowned at this point.

However, after some thought, he quickly let it go. After all, the wonders in the Paradise were truly beyond imagination. If everything could sync with reality...

The scale of the Paradise would undoubtedly surpass that of the Xuan Huang World.

"By its name, the Paradise is led by the Supreme Lord's boundless power and constructed from various dream worlds."

"The blueprints for constructing these dream worlds may originate from historical fragments in the Xuan Huang World, or from living beings' dreams, or even deeper great intentions. Thus, it isn't always safe; it is filled with all sorts of dangers."

"To facilitate exploration, there are levels of experience and world grades." Second Brother Sun nodded.

With their Golden Core Complete strength, exploring a Level 3 dream world was already at the limit. Going further would definitely be fatal.

Having an approximate understanding of the danger level prevented unnecessary deaths in the dreamscape.

"In the Paradise, death is real."

"The number of times one can die isn't infinite."

"Death counts are crucial for identifying cultivators within the dream and are second only to experience levels."

"Cultivators with similar death counts are roughly at the same world level. The general divisions are 1-3 deaths, 3-5 deaths, 5-10 deaths, and 10-15 deaths."

"Death limit should be around 15 times. If one dies after that..."

"It's real death."

"In reality as well." Second Brother Sun's mind was shaken.

"The increase in death counts doesn't just mean changes in the people one encounters; it also means a decline in spiritual essence."

"Spiritual essence is a hidden value, not displayed but truly exists within the Paradise. It affects combat and cultivation efficiency."

"The more deaths, the lower the spiritual essence, making progress even harder."

"It seems there are other impacts of this spiritual essence..." Second Brother Sun pondered.

"Death counts can also be eliminated through certain methods. Besides exchanging Joy Coins in the Supreme Lord’s treasury, one can use items obtained from dreams."

"Of course, their value is not trivial."

"So it appears that the Joyful Paradise is fraught with danger. But why all Five Elders Association members are flocking to it is because this dream truly lives up to its name."

"Each cultivator only needs to pay a certain number of Joy Coins to generate their own unique dream world."

"One can be an omnipotent supreme deity or the emperor of everything in dreams, and these can all be realized."

"Dreams are almost indistinguishable from reality. The more Joy Coins paid, the richer the details..."

"However, maintaining the existence of a dream requires Joy Coins beyond just the initial creation cost."

"This is also the source of motivation for exploring dream worlds."

"The higher the world grade, the greater the risk but also the corresponding rewards."

"One can explore alone or in groups."

"Every cycle, there are free dream worlds available to explore. Of course, one can also pay Joy Coins to unlock them ahead of time."... Second Brother Sun gradually gained a comprehensive understanding of every aspect of the Joyful Paradise.

What truly mattered were the final pieces of information he learned.

"All things within dreams cannot be brought back to reality under normal circumstances."

"But there are exceptions."

"One is the protection by the Supreme Lord's power, allowing one to achieve this with minimal effort. However, this rarely happens throughout Paradise history."

"Another is key items. By surrendering them, one can choose a portion of their dream force and bring it back to reality."

"Three, delving into unknown dreams."

"Four... paying large amounts of Joy Coins." Second Brother Sun exchanged glances with Wang Xuanbao and Ye Zhenwei.

"This Paradise truly exceeded our expectations,"

"Even the Supreme Lord might not fully understand its intricacies. The ability to create such a vast paradise speaks volumes about their strength."

"But dreams are still dreams, illusions. We ultimately need to return to reality."

"However, it seems this will be difficult. There are billions of inhabitants in the Paradise, and only a few can return each year." Ye Zhenwei pondered.

"I actually think that even if we can't go back, staying here isn’t bad. Look at these treasures in the treasury; any one of them is incredibly fascinating," Wang Xuanbao said, staring at the various items in the Supreme Lord's treasury.

Second Brother Sun remained silent.
