The Holographic Spiritual Energy Gaming Pod was a brand-new concept that

Xu Ziyu and Xu Zile had never heard of,

Xu Ziyu looked at the huge coffin as tall as a person beside Lu Yuan and asked, “Lu Yuan, is this Holographic Spiritual Energy Gaming Pod really as magical as you claim?”

Based on Lu Yuan, the Holographic Spiritual Energy Gaming Pod could help cultivators experience going on expeditions without risking their lives in real life.

There were many similar items in the Upper Realm,

For example, there was a similar expedition place in the Spirit Sword Sect called the Sword Heart Illusory Realm.

Cultivators could practice their swordsmanship to the greatest extent in the illusory realm, thus achieving a similar effect as going on an expedition.

The third stage of the Immortal Ascension Assembly was also a special training method in a sense.

Lu Yuan’s idea of creating a Holographic Spiritual Energy Gaming Pod actually came from the third stage of the Immortal Ascension Assembly.

In reality, using unique arrays or magic instruments to assist in cultivation was common in the Upper Realm.

Relying on the vast resources they had; the members of the Upper Realm even designed the Gates of Hell, which was a semi-real expedition spot.

Therefore, if it weren’t for Lu Yuan’s invention of the spiritual energy cell phone, Xu Ziyu and Xu Zile wouldn’t have been moved by the Holographic Spiritual Energy Gaming Pod.

The difference between Lu Yuan’s Holographic Spiritual Energy Gaming Pod and other similar expedition grounds in the Upper Realm was the design of rhe plot.

The conventional simulation training methods in the Upper Realm could generally be divided into two categories.

The first type was similar to the Sword Heart Illusory Realm of the Spirit Sword Sect, which adopted a completely simulated environment. The advantage was that the cultivators could focus on their training goals, but the disadvantage was that there was no life-and-death crisis, so the impact of the practice was limited.

The other type was a semi-open world like the Gates of Hell.

The so-called semi-open world involved throwing people into a vast area where they could freely explore. Only limited clues were given to these people to find a way out.

The Gates of Hell the cultivators encountered during the Immortal Ascension Assembly functioned on this basis.

Although such a semi-open world could provide cultivators a certain degree of exposure similar to an expedition, it was still a well-curated simulation. It was different from reality.

Therefore, most sects focused on letting their cultivators experience the real world.

However, even with the company of Dao protectors, going on expeditions around the world posed a considerable danger to cultivators.

Lu Yuan’s Holographic Spiritual Energy Gaming Pod allowed cultivators to complete an entire expedition without encountering too much danger.

The essence of the game was to let cultivators experience life from birth to death.

Cultivators experienced growth when they discovered the consequences of their choices in rhe game and learned what they should do when they encountered similar scenarios in real life in the future.

The sects in the Upper Realm did not include this aspect in the design of their expedition grounds.

Or rather, it was something that the Upper Realm sects had never considered.

As orthodox cultivation sects, they had no time to devise such a troublesome idea.

If they had the time and energy, instead of designing such lifelike simulations, they would have benefited more from getting more cultivation resources or seizing more blessed grotto-heavens to aid their disciples.

These resources were the fastest way to increase the strength of the sect.

Lu Yuan designed the Holographic Spiritual Energy Gaming Pod specifically to close this loophole.

The only advantage of the games from his previous life in the current world was imagination and storytelling.

Lu Yuan was promoting this gaming pod with the pretense of assisting cultivators in improving their cultivation. The device’s main selling point was the exciting games it offered.

Not every game in his previous life suited this world.

For example, first-person shooting games would surely not garner many supporters here.

After all, when developing a game, Lu Yuan had to consider the context of the times.

No cultivators would be interested in playing with guns and machinery when they could do much more with their heaven-defying powers. If Lu Yuan released a first-person shooting game here, he would be a fool who taught a fish how to swim.

Therefore, only two types of games were suitable for Lu Yu to introduce to the cultivators.

One was the traditional RPG games, similar to the Legend of Sword and Fairy.

The other type of games was modified MOBA games, such as the League of Legends and Honor of Kings in his previous life.

The rest of the games didn’t suit the current environment.

Moreover, earning spiritual stones was not the goal of Lu Yuan in developing this gaming pod. His primary purpose was to collect information on other cultivators.

Cultivators could use any abilities compatible with the game in the gaming pod, but to activate the pod, they needed to fill it with their spiritual energy.

During this process, the cultivators would involuntarily use their cultivation techniques.

The gaming pod could then record their operation methods.

In reality, rhe gaming pod could not record much. After all, many cultivation techniques were related to the divine souls after the cultivators reached the Nascent Soul Stage.

Although the gaming pod could observe the divine souls of some cultivators, the information it could obtain was minimal.

However, all this information worked like a puzzle. When Lu Yuan had enough puzzle pieces, which were the cultivation data of the cultivators, he could make sense of them through the help of his system.

He could deduce many cultivation techniques with enough samples even if he did not enter the Upper Realm.

Lu Yuan created the gaming pod intending to steal cultivation techniques from other cultivators.

This gaming pod was a means Lu Yuan had prepared to deal with the Upper Realm..
