"Seems like my luck has turned bad." Wen Ping touched the Life Core Pendant on his neck, feeling a hint of disappointment.
So he decided not to see what the upgraded Master Dao Maze looked like.
Instead, he let the system serve him!
"System, what functions are now available with the Master Dao Maze after leveling up?"
The system responded: "The upgraded Master Dao Maze no longer has regional restrictions, meaning it can be established anywhere. With the upgrade, you can build a total of ten mirror structures across the world."
"What else?"
Indeed.
Listening felt quite satisfying.
The system continued: "All ten mirror structures have full functionality of the Master Dao Maze within the Immortal Sect, and include a new ability—linking the Thousand Layers! Mirrors located at Heaven-Gazing Gorge can link to the staircase leading there, and those at Heaven and Earth Lake connect directly to its world. Ultimately, all lead to the Thousand Layers, regardless of where they start."
"That function is great!"
Wen Ping had been worrying about the limitations of recruiting disciples, considering Heaven-Gazing Gorge was vast, and only two months were given to him.
In two months, without a Wing Race Demon God to ride, common folks would take months to travel from the Red Leaf Sect to the Immortal Sect.
In several months, the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking would commence.
Recruiting them then would hold little significance.
The ten mirror structures of the Master Dao Maze perfectly solved this problem for him.
"System, how do I build these mirror structures?"
"Open the map, and you can build freely."
As these words sounded, a map featuring Heaven and Earth Lake and Heaven-Gazing Gorge appeared before him, which he could zoom in and out of.
After zooming, the displayed images were all real depictions.
Unfortunately, they were not dynamic.
Nor in real-time.
"How much White Crystal does it cost to build one mirror structure?"
"10,000 White Crystals."
"Why so expensive?"
"Because the construction takes place outside the Immortal Sect’s territory, the price is very high. Building within the sect’s domain requires only 1,000 White Crystals."
"A tenfold difference!"
Even though he was now wealthy, Wen Ping felt a bit pained at spending 10,000 White Crystal on a mirror structure.
After all, ten of those would be 100,000!
Extorting a five-star influence only brought in 400,000!
Setting aside his sighs, Wen Ping carefully observed the map, "It seems there will no longer be obstacles in the expansion of the Immortal Daily across the ten thousand miles of Azure Abyss Pool. The Immortal Daily will have a very large audience soon, and by the third issue, we can advertise for recruiting disciples into the Immortal Sect."
Once the recruitment ad is out, many will aspire to join the sect.
Finally, Wen Ping decided to start from the Immortal Sect and place a mirror structure every 3,000 miles. This would save people a lot of travel time and also save him a lot of time.
