The moment Han Jianyu acknowledged the effectiveness of the Cloud Mist Internet Café, the reputation of the place changed completely within the Lingyuan Sect. Until that moment, many disciples still believed the rumors were exaggerated stories created by curious outer disciples. However, Heaven Sword Peak was known for producing some of the most talented swordsmen in the entire sect. If even one of their top inner disciples admitted the place was useful, then the rumors could no longer be ignored.
By midday, the training grounds of nearly every peak were filled with discussions about Cloud Mist Peak.
Outer disciples talked about the terrifying monsters inside the virtual worlds. Inner disciples debated whether the strange machines were some kind of advanced illusion formation. Even a few elders began quietly investigating the situation.
The quiet and neglected Cloud Mist Peak was now attracting more attention than it had received in years.
Inside the Cloud Mist Internet Café, the atmosphere had become incredibly lively. The once spacious shop now felt crowded as disciples waited eagerly for their turn to enter the training realms. The sound of excited conversations filled the room as players who had just completed their sessions discussed their battles.
"I almost defeated the giant creature in the ruined city!"
"You should try the battlefield realm. There are hundreds of enemies!"
"My sword technique feels much smoother now!"
Lin Tian stood calmly behind the counter while observing everything with a relaxed expression. The system interface floating in front of him displayed the rapidly increasing statistics of the shop.
Active Players: 20
Total Visitors Today: 138
Spirit Stones Earned: 690
Lin Tian nodded slightly.
"This is growing faster than I expected."
The disciples' enthusiasm for the training realms had far exceeded his initial predictions. Every time someone finished a session, they immediately tried to reserve another one. Some disciples had even returned multiple times within the same day.
For cultivators constantly seeking ways to improve their techniques, the computer shop had quickly become an irresistible opportunity.
However, while the disciples inside the shop were enjoying their training sessions, the growing popularity of Cloud Mist Peak had begun attracting attention from far more important figures.
Inside the grand halls of Heaven Sword Peak, Peak Master Jian Tianlong sat quietly while listening to a report from one of his disciples.
"You're saying that many of our inner disciples have been visiting Cloud Mist Peak?" he asked calmly.
"Yes, Peak Master," the disciple replied respectfully. "Even Senior Brother Han Jianyu confirmed that the training hall there is effective."
Jian Tianlong slowly opened his eyes.
"Han Jianyu confirmed it himself?"
"Yes."
The disciple hesitated for a moment before continuing.
"They say the place allows disciples to fight inside illusion worlds and improve their combat skills."
Jian Tianlong remained silent.
Although he had initially dismissed the rumors, the involvement of several inner disciples now made the situation more interesting.
"Prepare for me to visit Cloud Mist Peak tomorrow," he finally said.
The disciple bowed immediately.
"Yes, Peak Master."
Meanwhile, on Thunder Flame Peak, the situation was very different.
A loud laugh echoed through the mountain courtyard.
"Hahaha!"
Lei Ba, the fiery peak master of Thunder Flame Peak, slammed his fist onto a stone table.
"So that kid really opened some kind of strange training hall?"
One of his disciples nodded nervously.
"Yes, Peak Master."
"They say the battles inside feel incredibly real."
Lei Ba stood up with an excited grin.
"Good!"
"I was getting bored anyway."
His eyes shone with interest.
"If that place really lets people fight as much as they want…"
He cracked his knuckles loudly.
"Then I definitely need to try it."
Not far away, inside the peaceful gardens of Spirit Medicine Peak, Mei Lanyue quietly watered a small spiritual herb while listening to the report from her disciple.
"You say the disciples who visited Cloud Mist Peak showed improvements in their combat movements?"
"Yes, Peak Master."
Mei Lanyue smiled gently.
"That is quite interesting."
She placed the watering pot aside.
"Perhaps I should visit this place as well."
Finally, inside the mysterious halls of Array Formation Peak, Gu Shenzhi sat quietly while studying a complex formation diagram drawn across a stone table.
One of his disciples approached him carefully.
"Peak Master, many disciples are now visiting Cloud Mist Peak every day."
Gu Shenzhi nodded slightly.
"I expected that."
The disciple looked surprised.
"You did?"
Gu Shenzhi calmly placed the brush in his hand down.
"That place is not an ordinary illusion formation."
His eyes narrowed thoughtfully.
"I still cannot fully understand how it works."
He slowly stood up.
"But one thing is certain."
"That young Peak Master has brought something very unusual into the Lingyuan Sect."
Meanwhile, back at Cloud Mist Peak, the situation continued to grow more lively with each passing hour.
The line outside the computer shop had become even longer than before.
Dozens of disciples now waited patiently along the mountain path, hoping to experience the mysterious training realms for themselves.
Inside the shop, Han Jianyu had just finished another session.
This time, he had managed to survive much longer in the battlefield realm.
He slowly stood up and tested a few sword movements.
His expression remained serious.
"This place…"
He turned toward Lin Tian.
"…could change the entire sect."
Lin Tian simply smiled and leaned casually against the counter.
"That depends on how people use it."
Han Jianyu looked around the crowded shop before nodding slowly.
Then he quietly left the building.
Outside, the evening sun was beginning to sink behind the mountains.
Cloud Mist Peak was no longer the lonely and forgotten place it once was.
And tomorrow…
Even greater figures of the Lingyuan Sect would begin appearing here.
