The Advanced Cultivation Tower dramatically increased the energy density and purity of Red Moon City, surpassing Lin Qi's expectations and raising Blue Star's environment to near second-class life planet levels. Players and residents alike noticed the change, assuming it was a system glitch and immediately began cultivating to take advantage of the enhanced environment.

Inside the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, within a standard Meditation Room.

Razor, Demon Elephant Zaka, and Polaris Scarlet were taken aback by this abrupt alteration.

In its normal state, even in a place like Red Moon City with its superior energy concentration compared to major cities, strengthening one's physique required the consistent application of a Training Technique to fortify every cell. Yet, at this moment, without any deliberate cultivation, their bodies were absorbing the surrounding energy simply through respiration, leading to rapid enhancement. A modest effort in practicing the Training Technique yielded results akin to rocket-like advancement. Within mere minutes, their progression shifted from Intermediate Apprentice to Advanced Apprentice, a pace of improvement that defied belief.

"What's happening? Could it truly be a system anomaly?" The imposing Demon Elephant Zaka, standing well over two meters tall, stared at his system's Attribute Bar, his leveling speed escalating at an astonishing rate.

Despite being a Legendary Mercenary in his previous life, blessed with exceptional natural talent and benefiting from the effects of a Basic Meditation Room, his progress in the Descent of High Martial had already outstripped that of the average expert. He had even harbored the confidence of reaching the Martial Artist Level within three to four days.

But now, the prospect of reaching the Martial Artist Level within a single day seemed within reach, let alone three or four.

"I don't believe it's that simple." Razor countered, shaking his head with conviction. "For a game of this caliber, how could such a significant glitch occur? I suspect this is a deliberate strategy by the game developers. Although this game is currently in its closed beta phase, the daily player influx is substantial. Coupled with the performances of those global tournament participants, numerous international conglomerates and guilds have taken notice of the Descent of High Martial. They are undoubtedly poised to deploy legions of experts into the game. It's probable that the game developers intentionally adjusted the cultivation environment to enable latecomers to rapidly bridge the gap with the initial players."

"If that's the case, doesn't this present an opportunity for us?" Upon hearing this, Demon Elephant Zaka's fighting spirit ignited. He vividly recalled his inability to even reach the finals in the global tournament, easily dispatched by a Descent of High Martial player—a humiliation he found utterly unacceptable.

"If your assessment is correct, should we propose to Azure Sea and Heaven that we switch to an Intermediate Meditation Room for our cultivation?" Polaris Scarlet suggested. "With energy being so abundant now, we can enhance ourselves just by breathing. The sole constraint on our improvement speed is our learning capacity. By transitioning to the Intermediate Meditation Room, where our cognitive functions are heightened, our rate of progress should more than double."

"That is a logical conclusion. I shall inform Azure Sea and Heaven immediately." Razor nodded, proceeding to contact them without hesitation. The potential cost or consequence of this decision later on was of no concern to him.

Previously, before immersing himself in the world of Descent of High Martial, his sole focus was on securing a position as a Cosmic Pioneer. However, now deeply embedded within the game, he was becoming increasingly certain that Descent of High Martial represented the future. The pursuit of Cosmic Pioneer qualifications had consequently lost its significance.

The reason was simple: within this virtually indistinguishable game world of Descent of High Martial, one could engage in activities mirroring real life, but with the added advantage of encountering technological advancements far surpassing those of reality. Furthermore, the game facilitated interstellar travel, exposing players to myriad unknown civilizations and even offering the potential to double one's lifespan. As game acceleration technology continued to evolve, the in-game lifespan could be further extended—making it an incredibly appealing prospect.

Most crucially, as relayed by Azure Sea and Heaven, the benefits gained from leveling up in Descent of High Martial were not merely confined to the virtual realm. Tangible enhancements could manifest even in the real world. Upon attaining the Heavenly Human Realm, it was rumored that one's real-world lifespan could be significantly extended, a benefit comparable to acquiring that planet's longevity-bestowing substance in reality. And this was merely the Heavenly Human Realm within Descent of High Martial.

What, then, could be expected upon reaching the Divine Fusion Realm or even the legendary Demigod Realm?

Consequently, he was now prepared to relinquish any attachment to his Cosmic Pioneer identity, dedicating himself entirely to excelling within Descent of High Martial, specifically aiming to achieve significant milestones before the arrival of global financial magnates and major guilds.

Meanwhile, as countless players within Red Moon City engaged in fervent cultivation and rapid advancement due to the altered energy landscape, two starships constructed from E6-level alloy commenced their descent towards Red Moon City's spaceport.

"What in the world transpired on Canglan Star just now? The ambient Qi here is practically on par with my Red Demon City." Red Demon emerged from the spaceship, the pervasive Qi of Red Moon City filling him with astonishment and confusion.

He had detected the abrupt transformation of Canglan Star even before arriving, as if the entire planet had awakened, drawing cosmic Qi towards itself – an event utterly unprecedented in his experience.

And now, Red Moon City presented an even more astonishing spectacle.

His absence from Red Moon City spanned less than two days. Prior to his departure, the Qi environment within Red Moon City was merely at the recognized standard for a fourth-class Life Planet. It couldn't hold a candle to even a third-class Life Planet, let alone a second-class one. Yet, presently, the Qi saturation in Red Moon City was remarkably close to that of his own Red Demon City, making him question if he had mistakenly arrived at the wrong destination.

It's crucial to understand that his Red Demon City was established upon a prime first-class Mysterious Land within a top-tier second-class Life Planet. Its Qi environment stood at the pinnacle among more than ten surrounding star systems, surpassed only by a first-class Life Planet. For the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall to elevate Red Moon City's Qi environment to such a level, nearly matching Red Demon City, within a mere two days—how could this possibly be true?
