The Protagonists' Chat Group: Beyond the Boundaries

Dense, countless Sky Caves floated around Shi Jian. These Sky Caves were arranged in a special formation. A flame suddenly ignited from his Sky Cave, enveloping him and continuously incinerating his Physical Body.

While Shi Hao connected with the Dao principles on the bluestone steps, Shi Jian was tempering himself with the laws of other worlds. A part of his Sky Cave, inscribed with the Laws of Perfect World, was ignited first.

Countless dense Precious Techniques formed these laws. From the 'incomplete runes' taught by the old village chief to the Kunpeng Precious Technique, and all the legacies he had learned, they were all ignited at once. The flames passed through his Sky Cave and burned onto his body.

This was a long and painful process. The Law of Perfect World was a furnace, and the Precious Technique knowledge was the firewood. As soon as one was burned out, another was added. This would continue until the entire furnace of Perfect World was consumed.

Afterward, Shi Jian would open a new furnace from another world's laws. This cycle would repeat until all the cultivation techniques in his chat group turned into nourishment for his Divine Fire Realm.

More than a month passed. Shi Jian, who was immersed in cultivation, opened his eyes. His cultivation hadn't come to an end, but the chat group had upgraded. He multi-tasked, dedicating a portion of his spirit to the group.

A message flashed: The chat group meets the upgrade conditions and begins upgrading.

Xiao Yan: "Wow, in the blink of an eye, a year has passed? The chat group has upgraded again?"

Meng Qi: "Is the chat group upgrading to add new members? New people are joining!"

Fang Han: "New members are a small matter. I'm mainly concerned about what new features will be added. The last upgrade's Power Contract feature was quite useful..."

Shi Jian then saw several new messages appear. Chat group upgrade successful, group member offline feature enabled!. After the next upgrade, the chat group will add a group administrator position. The group administrator has the right to invite one new member to the group each year.

Xiao Yan: "There will be a group administrator after the next upgrade? Ahem, this is clearly a tough job, so let me sacrifice myself..."

Meng Qi: "Get out of the way, Baldy! The administrator is the backbone of the chat group, and it needs someone as handsome and dashing as me!"

Fang Han: "Why are you two so anxious? The position isn't available yet. This job still needs someone as steady as me..."

Yang Qi: "My spear is not without its sharpness!"

Lin Dong: "Actually, I think I can too."

The group instantly exploded in a fight for the new administrator position, with all sorts of memes flying around.

Shi Jian watched the chaos, thinking they were too anxious. He, on the other hand, was not anxious at all, because he was already an administrator.

Shi Jian: "A bunch of commoners, be careful or I'll use my administrator privileges to mute all of you! (Arrogant expression)"

Meng Qi: "You didn't say that when you asked us to vote for you to be administrator back then (Angry expression)"

Meng Qi was then muted.

Xiao Yan: "Great Administrator, we were wrong. If you let us be administrators, we'll be administrators..."

After role-playing with the group for a bit, Shi Jian finally brought up the main topic.

Shi Jian: "Have you guys seen the chat group's new feature? The offline feature is quite practical!"

Luo Feng: "This feature is quite practical. No matter how long you're offline, it's only an instant in the chat group!" He felt this would finally give him a chance to catch up with the others.

Fang Han: "This feature is indeed very practical. Our closed-door cultivations can take hundreds or even tens of thousands of years. With the offline feature, we won't be afraid of missing things."

Shi Jian: "That's right. So, who among you will go into closed-door cultivation for a few thousand years, become invincible, and then come back to help out your brothers in the group?"

Xiao Yan: "I think only our dashing, handsome group administrator can bear this responsibility. Shi Jian, quickly go into closed-door cultivation for a thousand years, become invincible, then come back and feed me, food, hungry..."

Yang Qi: "This new feature is good. I wonder what new members can be invited to the group this time?"

Shi Jian almost forgot about inviting new members. As Yang Qi mentioned it, he immediately looked at the list. A hint of speechlessness appeared on his face.
