Chapter 39 – Gray world
Jiang Li didn't find it strange that there were other worlds. Ancient books had long recorded that there were countless worlds under the control of the immortal realm, and a ladder to ascension was established in each world. As long as someone in that world met the criteria for ascension, they could become an immortal. The Nine Provinces was the world with the most immortals among these worlds.
If there were unknown worlds on the other side of the spatial rift, it was very likely that they were one of the many worlds under the control of the immortal realm.
Perhaps the ladder to ascension in that world was still intact!
"How do I obtain source points?"
[Host can obtain source points by completing tasks or selling goods. This system will buy source points at one-third of the price in the mall.]
"...what a swindler."
Buying at one-third of the price and selling to me at the original price, you have no conscience!
"I've completed several tasks, where are my source points?"
[Does the host want to choose a side task - a source point task?]
"Yes."
[Release source point task: please go to Shouyang Mountain and dig out two hundred jin of Shouyang stone.]
This time, Jiang Li didn't have to go to the Heavenly Machine Tower to ask where Shouyang Mountain was. He had heard of the name before. It used to be a very famous mine, but because the mine owner had mined without restraint, Shouyang Mountain had become a waste mountain since two hundred years ago.
It used to produce one ton of Shouyang stone a day, but now, it was considered good if they could dig out fifty jin of Shouyang stone a day. Shouyang stone was not a necessary item for cultivation, and the expenses and income from mining were not proportional, so naturally, no one would go mining.
With Jiang Li's methods, if he wanted to dig steadily for a day, he could dig out fifty jin.
Jiang Li thought about it and felt that this task was quite simple.
He flew to the sky above Shouyang Mountain and directly dug up the entire Shouyang Mountain range.
Jiang Li didn't believe that there wouldn't be two hundred jin of Shouyang stone in a whole mountain range!
The system seemed to have never encountered this kind of mining before, hesitated for a moment, and judged whether this behavior counted as digging up two hundred jin of Shouyang stone.
[Congratulations to the host for completing the source point task. The host will receive a reward of fifty source points.]
"Teleport to the world I just found!"
[Requires 56,800 source points. Insufficient source points, unable to teleport.]
Jiang Li's fist hardened.
If this damn system could take on a physical form, he would be the first to cripple it!
You should have said earlier that you needed so many source points! It would take forever to complete tasks to get this many!
"It seems like I can only exchange goods for source points."
Jiang Li flipped through the mall. The most common items were various kinds of techniques. The cheapest one could only be cultivated to the Golden Core stage, and it only required one hundred source points. The most expensive one could be cultivated into an immortal, and it required one million source points.Jiang Li looked up at the sunset and quickly wrote a book called "Heart-Hooking Technique of the Setting Sun". This technique could be practiced up to the early Unity stage and could use the residual sunlight to attack the opponent's heart, causing them to recall their sad past and lose the will to fight.
After selling this technique, Jiang Li received over ten thousand source points.
He slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Why didn't I think of this earlier? I wasted my time moving mountains!"
"It's not easy to write a technique for the Tribulation Crossing stage. Techniques that can be practiced up to the Unity stage are everywhere!"
Usually, a Tribulation Crossing cultivator could only write three to five techniques for ascending to immortality in their lifetime. Even Jiang Li would take more than ten days to write one.
But it was different for Unity stage techniques. Jiang Li could easily write ten or more techniques for practicing up to the Unity stage.
He looked at the lush grass and wrote a book called "Cycle of Life and Death Technique" and another called "Endless Vitality Technique". He then looked at the mountain and wrote a book called "Mountain Moving Technique"...
Jiang Li sold all these techniques to the system and received over one hundred and ten thousand source points.
"Teleport to an unknown world!"
【Teleporting now】
This time, the system really could teleport.
The space around Jiang Li began to twist and form a passage to another world. He took a step forward and crossed the barriers of the Nine Provinces, the chaotic winds, and the unknown world.
With his eyes, Jiang Li could tell that the system's spatial manipulation was extremely advanced. It was so advanced that he couldn't understand it at all.
"I can't understand a thing. I don't know anything about spatial manipulation."
Jiang Li wanted to learn the system's spatial jumping technique, but then he remembered that he didn't know anything about spatial manipulation.
"When I have the chance, I'll go to Mount Sumeru to learn from the Buddha. He knows the most about spatial manipulation. Maybe I can learn something from him."
"Is this the unknown world?"
Jiang Li wrinkled his brow when he arrived at the unknown world. The spiritual energy here was extremely scarce.
He was standing alone in the endless desert, letting the sandstorm hit his protective barrier. The world was gray and lacked any trace of green. Even ordinary people would get depressed if they stayed here for too long.
Jiang Li measured the land step by step and found that the gravity here was the same as in the Nine Provinces. He also picked up a handful of sand and found that the material structure was similar.
"But why is the spiritual energy so scarce?"
The spiritual energy in the Nine Provinces was also unevenly distributed. Some places were called spiritual energy forbidden zones, where the spiritual energy was so scarce that even a single spiritual root cultivator couldn't reach the Foundation Establishment stage.But the spiritual energy in this unknown world was even scarcer than the forbidden land of spiritual energy in Jiuzhou!
It was impossible for cultivators to be born in such a place!
Jiang Li scanned with his divine sense, but couldn't find a single figure. All he could see was a group of gray beasts that looked like wolves or leopards, digging into the sand as if they were starving.
The gray beasts noticed Jiang Li and instinctively found him very appetizing. They began to fight over this unfamiliar prey.
With a single thought, Jiang Li imprisoned all of these gray beasts.
Jiang Li had never seen such creatures in Jiuzhou before.
He scanned these beasts with his divine sense and found that they were not eating sand because they were starving, but because their body structure required them to do so.
Their digestive and respiratory organs were all unfamiliar to Jiang Li. If he had not relied on his powerful divine sense to analyze them, he would not have been able to distinguish the functions of these organs.
These beasts had strong physical bodies, with the leader having a Golden Core stage body and the others having Foundation Establishment stage bodies.
For some reason, Jiang Li instinctively wanted to stay away from these beasts. They gave him an uncomfortable feeling.
Next, Jiang Li scanned this world with his divine sense, and his brow remained furrowed.
He finally understood why the gray beasts ate sand.
Because there were only two things in this world: gray beasts and sand.

There weren't even other species, let alone humans.@@novelbin@@
If the system told him that this was hell and these beasts were the creatures of the animal realm, he would have an eighty percent chance of believing it.
Compared to here, Jiuzhou was like the immortal realm.
