After arriving at the Central mountain, Jina and Ruyi met with Rudra and Roxa.
Inside their minds, they still wondered: how rich was Roxa really?
They knew she was a cultivator with a full cultivation system, but even so—was she this rich?
The sect was enormous and breathtaking. Who knew how much money she had spent? And more importantly—the guardian beasts!
Where had she even gotten them?
Even if she was a cultivator and wealthy, could she influence the game itself? They began to suspect someone bigger.
They knew the game was created solely by the owner of the company. Only the owner could influence it—not even the CEO or employees could do it easily, let alone their family members. And the owner was so rich and mysterious… so maybe Roxa and her brothers were related to him. Or perhaps the owner was Roxa's dad or some other family member.
They were really curious and wanted to know more about Roxa—and through her, about the owner. Everything they had received was thanks to that owner—he had given them so many facilities on the island, created this game, and done so many things.
But they didn't show their curiosity. They weren't close enough to Roxa or Rudra to ask such confidential questions. They would ask later.
For now, they talked with Rudra and Roxa about how beautiful and grand the sect was.
Then Ruyi said, "Okay, Roxa. Now we're both going to recruit some members. We also have to contribute to the sect. Okay, bye."
They both went offline. Their target was none other than the people inside the island.
Of course, they knew the difficulty of recruiting. They couldn't use Roxa's name, and they couldn't tell anyone about the benefits until the members formally joined.
But they could still recruit from their own families and some new friends in the academy.
Seeing Ruyi and Jina leave to do some work, Rudra said with a sigh, "Sister, only we are not doing any work."
Sanya nodded her head. She really didn't have any work.
But then she remembered something. She said, "Rudra, even though you can't yet cultivate in real life, you can cultivate here—in the game world. And when you someday start your cultivation journey in reality, you will already be so experienced. There will be no difficulty for you."
Rudra was stunned at first. Then realization hit him. A smile slowly bloomed on his face.
He said happily, "You are right, sister. I've been waiting to cultivate for so long, and now I finally get the chance. And the irony is that I hadn't even thought about it before. I only realized it after you said it. Haha."
"Okay, sister, I'm going to my room. You should also find something to work on."
He then left the hall and moved toward his own mountain—the vice leader mountain, closest to the central mountain.
Sanya was left alone in the vast hall. She murmured, "Okay now, I am alone. So what should I do? Should I start my own cultivation? Or should I learn martial techniques? Or should I learn the Rasa Maker profession?"
She hadn't even considered the Astra Forger profession—she couldn't imagine herself lifting a hammer and smashing iron or ore. Nah… she isn't doing it.
After some thinking, Sanya decided to first learn the basics of Rasa Maker, then start her own cultivation, and she could also learn some martial techniques in her free time.
Just as she was about to call the instructor puppet to come and teach her about the profession, she remembered she hadn't invited her parents into the game.
She could already see that the game was going to become a parallel world. So her parents could come here and enjoy themselves too.
Just like her, they couldn't truly relax in the real world. But here they could enjoy without any fear or hesitation.
Sanya immediately exited the game and went to call them.
While Sanya had gone to invite her parents into the game, Rudra had already reached his mountain.
After arriving, he immediately ordered a puppet to retrieve a wooden cube (the same one Mordan had received from ether clone) from the library pavilion so he could start his cultivation.
The puppet moved quickly and returned in just a few minutes.
This wasn't the only puppet—there were many on his mountain, and more scattered across the sect and other elders' peaks. Sect members didn't have these puppets; only sect elders and higher positions received them, so they could work comfortably.
These puppets acted as workers but were very strong. Each one was comparable to a Stage 3 cultivator.
This was the highest cultivation stage anyone could currently achieve inside Eternal Ascendancy. Because the creator of the game—Ankit—was only a Stage 5 cultivator. If anyone reached Stage 4 in the game world, they would become a burden on the game world.
And if there were more Stage 4 cultivators, they could even break the game world.
But currently, no one in the game had reached Stage 4.
