"Miss Xue, if I had five hundred spots for people to enter a world where the time flow is 1% of the current world, with certain opportunities and dangers, how should I allocate these spots?"
Xue Qianwei blinked, then said in shock, "Holy cow! How much more good stuff do you have?"
"Ah, not much. Let's discuss this first, how should I select the candidates?"
Xue Qianwei thought for a moment and said, "You mentioned this secret realm has opportunities, what kind of opportunities are they?"
After a brief pause, Chu Yang explained, "An ancient sect destroyed for unknown reasons. Inside, there might be resources like spirit stones, spirit herbs, magical artifacts, and cultivation techniques. Once taken, they're gone. It's suitable for cultivators from the Qi Refining stage to the early Golden Core stage to explore."
Xue Qianwei's eyes lit up, "Does this include me?"
Chu Yang replied, "If you want it, of course, you can have it. Everyone in the group has to go. Improving their strength is their obligation and responsibility. If they refuse, I'll kick them out. Of course, there are risks involved. No one knows what a sect might have left behind to defend against external enemies."
"In that case, after exploring this sect's ruins, can it still be entered?"
"Of course, it's permanently accessible. It's just that those who enter first have priority in exploration. Subsequent entrants might not find much opportunity."
Xue Qianwei immediately made up her mind, "Then it's easy! Just organize a competition and allocate spots based on strength ranking. Then, limit each batch of people to one day inside, right? One day inside is equivalent to a hundred days out here!"
Chu Yang twitched the corner of his mouth, "I don't have that much energy to tally who is the strongest..."
"Eh?" Chu Yang's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration, he thought of something, "I suddenly have a method to determine strength!"
"What?"
"I have another secret realm that can accommodate two thousand people. Let them go in for trials and determine their strength based on the number of demonic beasts they hunt!"
"Good heavens, you really do have more good stuff!"
"Do you have cameras? I want to go into the demonic beast secret realm to shoot a promotional video!"
"Yes! Wait, I'm going too! I'm a professional photographer of twenty years!"
"..."
A dark vortex appeared before Chu Yang and Xue Qianwei.
He took Xue Qianwei and stepped into it.
The surrounding scenery shifted, and soon the two appeared in a new world.
Before them lay primitive forests and rugged mountains.
Xue Qianwei's eyes widened, and she instinctively picked up her camera. She saw many unknown exotic beasts: a tiger with wings, ants larger than humans, and a ten-meter-long red snake covered in flames.
"So many new species! If those biologists came here, they'd be smiling in their dreams!"
This was a small world filled with demonic beasts. However, it might have been forgotten by its creator in a certain immortal cultivation world, so the system stole its usage rights.
Chu Yang and Xue Qianwei's sudden appearance drew the attention of these demonic beasts, and they all raised their heads.
Their eyes were filled with greed.
A flock of Bone-Corroding Birds circling in the sky, not very intelligent, let out excited screeches upon seeing Chu Yang and Xue Qianwei, then flapped their wings frantically and charged towards them.
Xue Qianwei's face turned pale, her expression terrified. She quickly grabbed Chu Yang's sleeve, "These strange birds..."
Chu Yang calmly turned his head and looked at the flock of Bone-Corroding Birds. Sword energy carrying lightning instantly emanated from his front. Accompanied by piercing screams, all the Bone-Corroding Birds turned into ashes.
Witnessing the terrifying combat power displayed by Chu Yang, the restless demonic beasts scattered in all directions and then hid in panic.
The strongest demonic beast in this world was a sixth-tier Profound Sun Sparrow, equivalent to the combat power of an ordinary Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivator.
The pressure emanating from Chu Yang just now made them realize that if they didn't hide quickly, today might be their last day.
Chu Yang said to Xue Qianwei, "I'll take you down to shoot a promotional video. Remember to make it look powerful; I want to use this video to attract people to train here."
"What if they don't cooperate?"
"Small problem, I'll make them cooperate."
"..."
Demonic beasts all possessed intelligence. By the third tier, demonic beasts already had wisdom comparable to humans.
Seventh-tier demonic beasts could speak human language, and some high-grade bloodline demonic beasts could even transform into human form by the sixth tier.
A fourth-tier Wind Demon Tiger stood proudly, roaring loudly at the sky with a majestic demeanor. However, upon closer inspection of its eyes, one could see deep-seated fear.
Xue Qianwei was holding her camera, happily aiming it at the Wind Demon Tiger's face to take pictures.
Why was it cooperating so well? Of course, it was because Chu Yang was holding a brick.
"Wow! The little tiger also has wings, so handsome! Strike another pose!"
"Roar~"
"Alright, done!"
Chu Yang put down the brick in his hand, then said with a smile, "Let's go shoot the next one. I remember there's a fifth-tier Flame-tailed Serpent in that mountain range over there. Let's go check it out!"
After they left, the Wind Demon Tiger's limbs went weak, and it collapsed on the ground, almost scared to death.
That day, the demonic beasts in the Demonic Spirit Realm seemed to have experienced a nightmare.
They were forcibly compelled by a terrifying human to strike various flamboyant poses, and then had their faces photographed up close by another female human wielding a strange magical artifact.
Finally, the Profound Sun Sparrow that lived in the volcano, possessing a trace of Vermillion Bird bloodline, had quite a temper.
However, after Chu Yang used the "Shattered Jade Overlord Body Art" to slap it to the ground and plucked a few feathers, it obediently participated in the filming.
For countless years, they had thought this world had been forgotten by humans. They never expected humans could still enter.
They had initially thought they could feast, but who knew the arrival was of an irresistible formidable person.
Fortunately, this terrifying man only forced them to perform some strange actions. Apart from those few short-sighted Bone-Corroding Birds, no other demonic beasts were harmed.
What they didn't know was that their nightmare had just begun.
Back in the original world, Xue Qianwei was incredibly excited.
Demonic beasts were something new. For someone like her, who had just entered the world of immortal cultivation, everything related to it was fascinating!
Chu Yang opened his computer and said to Xue Qianwei, "Quickly find someone to edit the footage. I'll write some copy, and then we can launch this trial."
Xiong Miao was, after all, a media platform, and its publicity department certainly had professionals for editing footage.
