Chapter 32: The 1024th Space

Class: Golden Core Great Dao

Description: The golden core is the primordial essence of all living beings. When it gathers, living beings form. When it scatters, it returns to qi. Through cultivating the Triratna and withstanding myriad tribulations, you gain the Golden Core Great Dao.

Golden Core: Soul essence, qi essence, and spirit essence meld into one. As your cultivation level increases, the three essences will simultaneously improve.

Great Dao Body: Reduce the cost of converting a Dao Body into a Connate Dao Body by 50% (stackable).

After reading it, Wang Shuo instantly understood why the system’s evaluation of his compatibility for the Golden Core Great Dao was 99%.

This Golden Core Great Dao was seemingly tailored for perfect humans.

“In that case, are there bloodlines tailored for other legendary classes?”

Wang Shuo was not making a wild guess. There were more than twenty legendary classes that matched him. Who knew how many there were in total?

There was no reason for the Golden Core Great Dao to be the only unique one.

Furthermore, he felt that the class was introduced in such detail because he possessed the perfect human bloodline.

If he had chosen the holy angel bloodline, he might have found another class that matched perfectly.

All sorts of thoughts flashed through his mind, and then Wang Shuo chose the Golden Core Great Dao without hesitation.

[You have the Class Advancement Book [Golden Core Great Dao (Legendary)]. Do you want to start class advancement?]

“Advance.”

[Class advancement failed. The player has yet to meet the requirements to change classes.]

[Prompt: Golden Core Great Dao class advancement requirements: Physique 5 (success), True Essence 5 (failed)]

[Notice: You can achieve this by breaking through to the second stage of the Primordial Chaos Skill.]

“Second stage…”

Wang Shuo hesitated.

To be honest, he really wanted to break through immediately.

But now, he was only 0.4 points away from his limit of 6 points. He had already persevered until now and was just a short reach away.

“Forget it. Anyway, with my strength and the protection of the Mystic Turtle Armor, dealing with ordinary dangers shouldn’t be a problem. Let’s see what’s happening outside first.”

Wang Shuo looked at Garuru, who was sticking his tongue out beside him. He rubbed the Sealing Crystal and decided to bring his pet along.

He remembered seeing a player on the forum saying that the second trial would drop items that allowed players to contract pets.

This crystal seemed to be that item, so he could conveniently use Garuru as a cover.

Wang Shuo put away the Sealing Crystal and patted Garuru’s head. “Let’s go!”

Then he walked up to the platform behind the stone door.

[You are about to leave the Newcomer’s Trial Space. The starting location will be automatically assigned according to the player’s room number. The allocation has finished. The teleportation is about to begin. Please be prepared: Ten, nine… one.]

As soon as the countdown ended, he felt the world spinning around him.

When he came back to his senses, he had already arrived at a vast wasteland.

At a glance, although green grass covered the land, withered yellow bushes and short gravel peaks dotted the area.

In the distant mountains and dense forests, various beast roars resounded one after another. Above him, all kinds of birds that he had never seen before were soaring in the sky. There were at least over a thousand of them.

Wang Shuo looked around cautiously. Although the surroundings were noisy, it was still safe.

He led Garuru carefully to a bush and then opened the game forum.

[Game Forum Room 1024]—Current number of players users: 9,102/10,000. Current coordinates: 562,111

The new forum was different from the newcomer’s forum. Perhaps due to the number of players increasing, the game forum changed from a chatroom to using threads.

The threads with the highest number of views and replies were marked in a large bold font and placed at the top.

At the top were a few new threads.

“The New Kobold Camp is located at coordinates 154,144. This is the base camp of the kobold players. We welcome all kobold and non-kobold players to join us.

“There are two major buildings in the camp, ‘Elementary Store’ and ‘Elementary Spring of Life’. They will help you safely and effectively survive the first two months of the rookie period…”

“I am Yue Huanlong, the lord of Green Forest Town. I solemnly promise that as long as any human player joins us, you will get seven days of residency rights for free.

“In addition to the Elementary Store and the Elementary Spring of Life, the town also has an Elementary Training Ground.

“Cultivating on the training ground gives an extra 0.5 times increase in cultivation speed, allowing you to have greater improvements during the first two months of your rookie period.

“Green Forest Town’s coordinates are 366,189. We welcome all human players and players of other races with a good relationship with the human race.”

“The Cat Demon Forest is located…”

“The Sand Race Camp…”

…

There were more than ten trending threads at the top, all of which were new posts by various races.

Furthermore, Wang Shuo didn’t know if it was a coincidence, but the three races he had encountered in the novice space were all among them.

But there were no races from the third trial.

But to him, this wasn’t important. What he was most concerned about now was the meaning of this so-called ‘rookie period’.

He went to the next page and finally found the information he wanted in the 21st thread.

“Please explain. Is there any special meaning to ‘rookie period’?”

“Players need to participate in the Desolate Tower Training every month, or Tower Training for short.

“During the Tower Training, players will be teleported to the Desolate Tower and forced to complete an instance dungeon.

“After the dungeon spawns, the Desolate Temple will issue basic quests to the players. As long as you complete them, you will obtain all kinds of rewards: cultivation techniques, skills, bloodlines, equipment… You can get everything you need from there. But if you don’t complete them, you will be punished accordingly. If you can’t pay the price, it’s over for you.

“The tower quests are very challenging. The most important thing is that you are not the only player in the instance dungeon. Usually, you will do them at the same time as other players.

“Moreover, you can’t do the quests with players from other spaces. So this means that you have to compete with them to complete the quests.

“If you can beat them, you will get rich. If you can’t, you will die.

“When a rookie player arrives, you will be granted immunity for your first tower trial.

“When the Tower summons the players, you have the choice to refuse participation. As long as you refuse to participate, you will be exempt.

“In addition, allow me to give you a piece of advice as a veteran. Apart from those confident in your own strength, join a camp as soon as possible. Do that if you don’t want to die. Nights in the wilderness are perilous.

“That’s all I have to say. Take care. ”
