Gu Chengming looked at the floating text before him, his heart inevitably filling with some surprise.
It was created that quickly?
He steadied himself, his gaze focusing on the semi-transparent system panel in front of him.
The interface rippled slightly with his thoughts, and lines of new descriptions appeared before his eyes.
【CG Status Update】
【All Wonders Same Source Method CG/Myriad Wonders Gathering: A special spiritual realm reconstructed through several deductions by the All Wonders Same Source Method based on the concepts you provided, combined with its characteristics of soul resonance and psychological suggestion.】
【Effect (Active): Once activated, the host will serve as the “Lord of Myriad Wonders,” constructing and maintaining a mental consciousness realm independent of the mortal world. All who practice this art may split off a wisp of divine sense to reside within it. Inside this realm, the appearance, aura, and cultivation of all members are obscured by the “Myriad Mists,” forcing an absolute state of anonymity. Members can communicate, post requests, or exchange information through divine sense traces.】
【Current Coverage: 327 people】
【Current Activity: Low】
Gu Chengming rubbed his chin, secretly clicking his tongue.
Looking at this description, it felt a bit different from what he had imagined, but since the platform was already set up, he had to go in and see the actual effect.
Gu Chengming sat cross-legged, and with a slight stir of his mind, he circulated the All Wonders Same Source Method.
A slight hum sounded deep within his mind.
The scene before him did not undergo an earth-shattering change; instead, at the edge of his Sea of Consciousness, a gray, misty area appeared.
It was a space composed of countless gray mists, chaotic and blurred, with no distinction between up, down, or the four directions.
And within that gray mist, faint points of light like fireflies floated, each light representing a disciple currently practicing the All Wonders Same Source Method. This was the initial interface of the Myriad Wonders Gathering.
Gu Chengming tried to probe his divine sense into it, and the originally disorganized points of light instantly became clear.
He could see that in the void of this gray mist, a few lines of text floated sparsely, looking like graffiti someone had casually carved on a wall.
【Is anyone here? What on earth is this place?】
【Is this a cultivation deviation?】
【Shh, don't say much. Careful of the Enforcement Hall's fishing.】
【I also feel something is wrong. Senior brothers, I'm out. I'd rather not practice this art today.】
The disciples on this “initial forum” were quite cautious, to the point where not many people even spoke. Under the condition of being anonymous, they seemed to be carefully testing each other, testing this newly appeared Myriad Wonders Gathering.
Gu Chengming thought, Not bad Xiao Miao. I only suggested you make an anonymous chat group, but you went and made a whole forum.
However, the All Wonders Same Source Method's reaction was not enthusiastic.
【Looking at this cold and desolate scene, the All Wonders Same Source Method felt very defeated.】
Just as Gu Chengming saw, although the Myriad Wonders Gathering had been opened and covered over three hundred disciples, the atmosphere here showed no sign of activity; instead, it was filled with a suffocating sense of oppression.
The vast majority of people chose to lurk and observe.
Logically, as a technique that started with “psychological suggestion,” the core concept of the All Wonders Same Source Method should be “sharing the same source, growing together, and sharing ultimate bliss.”
People who practice this art should naturally develop a sense of closeness and identification with their fellow practitioners.
This was why Jiang Lu had been so easily pulled into the fold back then.
But the problem was that the scale of this Myriad Wonders Gathering was now too large.
Jiang Lu and the first batch of core believers only numbered a few dozen at most.
But now, among these three hundred-plus people, the vast majority were just practicing casually. Some were curious, others might have practiced once or twice and set it aside thinking it was useless, and some were even sect elders.
The backgrounds of these people were far too complex.
【The All Wonders Same Source Method wondered if something had gone wrong?】
Gu Chengming sighed and explained patiently:
“You set the entry bar too low. Among these hundreds, there are First Realm, Early Stage disciples, and also first realm, Late Stage or even second realm disciples. The higher the realm, the more stable the soul, and the stronger the resistance to your psychological suggestion.”
“Especially those disciples at the second realm or above. Although they also practiced the All Wonders Same Source Method, they sneer at it.”
Gu Chengming continued his analysis:
“Moreover, because it is completely anonymous, it actually exacerbates this distrust. Because no one knows if the person on the other side of the screen is a man or a ghost, a fellow disciple, or a sect elder.”
“If you wait for them to break the ice naturally, it'll take at least several months, if not longer. Only when they are certain there is no danger and that there are profits to be made here will they gradually lower their guard.”
Pausing, Gu Chengming added: “And because of the barrier between first realm and second realm disciples, this time might be even longer.”
“After all, disciples above the second realm have gradually broken free from the psychological suggestion of the All Wonders Same Source Method, while first realm disciples still take it as the truth.”
“Over time, the first realm disciples will gradually form small cliques, making it hard for others to integrate, and it'll just revert to the original pattern.”
【After listening, the All Wonders Same Source Method looked at the dead gray mist, feeling that its dream of being a “mastermind behind the scenes” was shattering.】
【It asked dejectedly, then what should be done?】
Gu Chengming sighed and said, “It's fine, I have a way.”
Anonymity might greatly increase suspicion, but if utilized properly, it can also increase the sense of identification from another angle.
Gu Chengming thought for a moment, then closed his eyes, his divine consciousness sinking back into that gray mist once more.
Out of the blue, he posted a thread.
【If the sect suddenly went crazy and gave you a million spirit stones, but the condition was that you had to choose one of the three cave dwellings below to live in for a whole year. You cannot go out, and you can only practice body-tempering techniques. Which one would you choose?】
【Option One, Cold Cavern: Here, spiritual energy is like a tide, ten times the concentration of the outside world, but the cold is bone-piercing and unbearable. You only get one fasting pill a day to stay alive. You must circulate your blood and qi at all times to resist the bitter cold; a slight lapse in focus brings the risk of freezing to death. However, if you can endure a year of bitter cold, you can forge an Ice Muscle and Jade Bone body, immune to a hundred toxins.】
【Option Two, Ultimate Bliss Sky: This place has no spiritual energy boost, and is even thinner than the outside world. However, fine wine and delicacies are within reach, offering endless pleasure. The only price is that for every month that passes, your cultivation will randomly drop by one realm, unless you can force it back up through bitter cultivation that month.】
【Option Three, Heavy Mountain: While inside, every step is difficult, as if carrying a mountain of ten thousand ren. Breathing is as heavy as bearing a mountain. Inside the cavern, there is no light or sound, yet this is a supreme furnace for tempering the Dao heart and will. If you can endure a year of torment, both your divine sense and physical body will undergo a qualitative transformation.】
