Chapter 349 - The Greater the Hope, the Greater the Disappointment

"Respected Trial Participant Tang San, greetings.

I am Reception Envoy No. 9527 of the Reception Division in Feixian City, responsible for guiding qualified provisional residents through all procedures required for entry.

This includes but is not limited to identity registration, point allocation and usage, benefit distribution, selection of intended departments, as well as consultation and general guidance.

According to the results of this assessment, you ranked 3142nd. You have passed the third stage and met the minimum requirements for joining Feixian City.

May I ask if you are available to visit Feixian City now?

There is no need for your physical body to travel. Just as during the assessment, maintain mental clarity and focus your consciousness to enter."

The text lit up on the screen, while a slightly mechanical voice repeated it inside his mind.

His dream was about to come true.

In an instant, Tang San's brain practically exploded with excitement. His face flushed red, his heart pounded violently, and he even subconsciously held his breath.

His eyes gleamed wildly, as if fireworks had detonated within them.

He hurriedly replied:

"Available!"

Then he felt that wasn't polite enough. He had already resolved never to act foolishly again. He would start anew, with a completely different attitude.

So he sent a second reply:

"Thank you. I will fully cooperate with your work. I wish you all the best."

His tone was as obedient and well-behaved as possible.

The moment the thought finished forming, he felt his soul leave his body, rising rapidly into the sky. Even after he could overlook the entire Douluo Planet, it didn't stop—he continued flying farther and farther away.

The speed was unimaginable, like watching a map zoom out at an extreme scale.

One instant he was in a prison cell. The next, he was in the sky. Another instant later, the galaxy he had just seen shrank into a tiny speck, a grain of dust in the vast cosmos.

Even though he had experienced this once before, this kind of displacement across cosmic scales still left him exhilarated and shaken, filling him with an inexplicable surge of heroic ambition.

About two minutes later, Tang San arrived once again before the towering, majestic gate where he had first seen Feixian City.

It was as awe-inspiring as ever.

But this time, on both sides of the gate stood two formations, each ten thousand strong.

Countless young women dressed in pure white robes stood solemnly, holding snow-white books in their hands.

Just as Tang San was wondering what kind of arrangement this was, two men in white at the front of the formations smiled faintly at him. They gently waved slender batons.

In the next instant, everyone began chanting in unison.

It was a melody he had never heard, never felt before—beautiful beyond words, piercing straight into the soul.

Tang San felt his very spirit tremble, tingling as if currents of electricity were running through him.

Five minutes later, the song ended.

A young man clad in imposing armor drove out through the gate in a luxurious carriage pulled by exotic beasts.

He bowed slightly and said with a smile:

"Tang San, I am 9527. Welcome to Feixian City. Please board."

Tang San—who had suffered setback after setback and longed desperately for respect and recognition—was now trembling uncontrollably.

His vision blurred with tears. He tried to speak, but his voice came out broken and stuttering:

"Were they… welcoming me just now?"

"Yes. The orchestra performed Chapter Seven, Section Nine—Hymn of the Hero. All warriors returning from campaigns receive this musical baptism. First-time residents are no exception."

As the saying goes: the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

The higher one flies, the harder one falls.

To ensure Tang San would fully savor the "blessings" to come, Nangong Lingyun had meticulously prepared the groundwork.

A song was merely the appetizer.

Half an hour after entering the city, Reception Envoy 9527 began explaining Feixian City's benefits.

First, depending on one's department and personal talent direction, the system would automatically match the most suitable immortal cultivation technique.

From the very beginning, one would attain immortality and invincibility within lower planes. Upon great mastery, one could erase the Great Dao with a mere wave of the hand.

Second, every ten years there was an opportunity to undergo baptism in the Sacred Pool. First-time entrants received one immediately.

It could cleanse marrow and meridians, transform one's foundation, shed mortal impurities, and achieve rebirth through nirvana.

Even something like a life-attribute martial soul being corrupted and destroyed by a poison-attribute soul ring could be resolved in a single second. The Sacred Pool baptism would last a full seventy-two hours.

After emerging, even a dog could become a once-in-a-million-years supreme genius.

Third, if one chose to join the combat department, they would immediately receive one defensive and one offensive immortal artifact—casually capable of destroying star domains.

Immortal pills and celestial herbs were supplied daily as consumables. Use them freely.

In short—blow it as big as possible. The more outrageous, the better.

Finally, Nangong Lingyun specially arranged a familiar little plot—common in academy-style fantasy novels.

When the protagonist begins displaying talent, powerful figures with overwhelming presences scramble to recruit him, offering outrageous promises, even exposing each other's dirty secrets in public. Their lofty images crumble while onlookers are left dumbfounded.

He fabricated a reason:

Tang San possessed a life attribute. Though damaged, it was nothing in the eyes of the Sacred Pool. Coupled with his outstanding willpower, several major figures had taken interest and wished to recruit him.

One promised full cultivation support and ten star domains as a "gift." Another declared he would make Tang San his successor. A third even brought out his heavyweight father to personally accept him as a disciple.

After going through the entire process, Tang San was completely dazed.

Excitement overwhelmed him. His mind felt blank, nearly incapable of coherent thought.

Three hours later, when his consciousness returned to his body, he still felt a strong sense of unreality.

He had joined Feixian City just like that?

He had even acknowledged a titan-level existence as his master?

In just a few days, once all newcomers completed their procedures, they would officially move in and enjoy benefits beyond imagination?

Oh yes!

Heaven never fails the determined. His spring had finally arrived.

The first phase ended.

Nangong Lingyun gave Tang San a week of rest and even issued a rare order suspending torture for the time being.

After all, if one's mind underwent extreme fluctuations in too short a span, the threshold would rise, dulling the intensity of future stimuli.

Proper emotional settling would maximize the eventual effect.

Tang San assumed Nangong Lingyun had learned about Feixian City and was attempting to curry favor with him. His conviction deepened even further.

A week later, Tang San was still savoring his experience in Feixian City—

When someone suddenly tapped his shoulder from behind.

"Hello."

He turned around.

Standing there was a blue-haired young man in a water-blue fitted outfit. His features bore a thirty percent resemblance to Tang San's—but he was far more handsome.
