Chapter 3

Zhang Dongyun was stunned by the sudden system notification in his mind.

At the same time, a resplendent cluster of pure golden light suddenly arose in the distant mountain valley.

The Blood Demon Ring also stopped having any movements as it focused on the golden light.

It was where the core of the immortal ruins was… Zhang Dongyun also looked over, feeling flabbergasted.

He was more concerned about the cold mechanical sound in his mind.

Impenetrable Fortress…

Isn’t this the game I was developing on the Blue Planet before I transmigrated?

Unfortunately, he had been overworked during his overtime shift and then arrived in this fantasy world when he opened his eyes.

Did the Impenetrable Fortress System in the game also come over due to my obsession?

The golden light in the distance suddenly expanded, sweeping away the white mist in the valley.

As the golden light flashed, a four-walled majestic fortress was constructed in the White Cloud Abyss!

The majestic fortress landed on the ground, and the White Cloud Abyss trembled once again in an earth-shaking manner.

This change not only shocked Zhang Dongyun and the Blood Demon Ring but also alarmed the disciples of Cold Mountain Sect and the Mountain Tiger Hall, who were fighting in the distance.

The two sects stopped and separated themselves into two sides facing each other.

While keeping an eye on their enemy, they paid more attention to the fortress flashing with golden light in the distant valley.

“What’s going on?” The tall man surnamed Cao was astonished. “There are no roads nor people in this wilderness. How can there be a fortress?”

The one-eyed young man’s eyes flickered. “It’s simply like the cave abodes of the mighty experts in the legends… Hold on. Could it be related to that senior just now?”

“The cave abodes of mighty experts?” The Mountain Tiger Hall disciples exchanged glances with one another.

They suddenly ignored the Cold Mountain Sect disciples and rushed in unison to the distant fortress that was flashing with golden light.

The tall man surnamed Cao was overwhelmed. “The cave abode ruins of mighty figures will certainly contain countless martial arts manuals and rare treasures.”

The one-eyed young man said hesitantly, “That senior just now…”

“He was either rescued or kidnapped!” the tall man interrupted.

He instructed those from his sect to rush over to the fortress.

“Regardless of whether he was captured or rescued, it means that he isn’t as impressive as he seems! He’s just an empty show!

“The treasure mountain is right in front of us. If we miss it, the Mountain Tiger Hall will benefit from it. At that time, it’ll be our turn for retribution!”

As the tall man spoke, he dragged the one-eyed young man and ran toward the fortress.

On another side, Zhang Dongyun watched the fortress that was flashing with golden light while feeling very helpless.

In a way, Evil Emperor Ming Tonghui had not failed.

He had very likely succeeded in refining the core fragment of the immortal ruins.

However, he had paid the immense price of being forced to reincarnate.

If Zhang Dongyun had not transmigrated, the Evil Emperor, who would have used the spirit jade fetus to resurrect, would have been able to clean up the mess here right now.

This place might not have looked like a fortress now.

If you considered the existence of this world, the Evil Emperor’s plan could be said to have succeeded.

Unfortunately, there was a change from outside this world.

A transmigrator from the Blue Planet had caused the Evil Emperor to fail in his endeavor.

As emotions were whirling within Zhang Dongyun, he heard the cold, mechanical voice in his mind again.

[System binding successful!]

[Fortress Lord: Zhang Dongyun]

[Current range: 1,000 meters east-west, 1,500 meters north-south, 500 meters above, 500 meters below ground.]

Zhang Dongyun had a strange look.

The core of the immortal ruins in this fantasy world actually combined with the Impenetrable Fortress System in my mind?

It even gave rise to a real impenetrable fortress?

However, is the current system still the same as what I designed it to be?

[This system is called the Impenetrable Fortress System. Regardless of the Fortress Lord’s cultivation level, you will be invincible within the Impenetrable Fortress. Nothing can harm you, and you can control the lives of all living beings within the fortress. No one can destroy or damage the fortress you have built except for you.]

[Beyond the system’s current coverage range, your strength will depend on your own cultivation base.]

The system notification sounded once again, making Zhang Dongyun feel relieved.

This was the system that he had designed.

At first glance, the Impenetrable Fortress was akin to the campgrounds, safe houses, or safety points in other games.

It was indeed a small fortress at first.

However, the Fortress Lord would be rewarded with a varying number of points for completing the various upgrade quests given by the system. When he reached a certain number of points, he could upgrade the fortress and expand the coverage range of the system.

In theory, there was no limit to the number of times and the range.

As long as the Fortress Lord had enough experience, the system could cover a country, a realm, or all the realms of the world until it covered the entire game map.

The Fortress Lord was an absolute invincible ruler in the fortress.

However, all of this would only work when he was in the fortress.

Zhang Dongyun was merely an ordinary person outside the fortress.

He needed to be inside the fortress first.

The Blood Demon Ring was also shocked by the appearance of the fortress with golden light, and its viciousness slightly reduced.

Didn’t His Majesty fail in refining the core fragment of the immortal ruins?

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been forced to reincarnate and recultivate.

The restriction in the ring wouldn’t have disappeared either.

But what is that strange fortress?

Just as the old demon in the ring was bewildered and uncertain, Zhang Dongyun suddenly went forward.

He calmly looked at the tall, fat man in front of him, whom the Blood Demon Ring had turned into a puppet.

He then extended his hand toward the Blood Demon Ring on the man’s finger.

The bloody glow on the ring suddenly condensed, as though it were a frightened beast.

When Zhang Dongyun’s finger approached the Blood Demon Ring, he could vaguely sense that the other party would appear at any moment.

He lightly removed the ring from the tall, fat man’s finger calmly and naturally.

Once the ring was removed, the fatty, who looked stiff and dumbfounded, was at a loss.

Then he closed his eyes and fell to the ground, just like a collapsed mountain of flesh.

“Do you know what that is?”

Calm and composed, Zhang Dongyun put the silver ring on his finger.

The bloody glow on the ring was sometimes strong and sometimes weak, and it constantly shook. “Uh… a fortress?”

“You’re wrong.”

Zhang Dongyun put on the ring and calmly stepped forward as he unhurriedly walked toward the majestic fortress in the distance.

“It’s my fortress.”
