Chapter 427: The Century of Changes on Fengxi Island, Three Hundred Billion Population

At this very moment, the Spirit World, Shattered Star Sea, Kunpeng Sea Area, Fengxi Island.

After a hundred years of development, Fengxi Island has naturally undergone further expansion.

Basically, large numbers of cities have been built on every open space across Fengxi Island.

Residential buildings are also being built higher and higher.

They are at least several dozen stories, or even over a hundred stories high.

This is also a matter of necessity.

After all, the human population on Fengxi Island has been growing faster and faster recently.

It is impossible for everyone to have their own manor or courtyard.

In order to accommodate the large number of new additions to the population, high-rise buildings are imperative.

Many of the newly born humans live in high-rise residential buildings.

This has also greatly eased the land pressure on Fengxi Island.

Zou Yi is one such newborn, currently only twelve years old.

But in fact, he is the reincarnation of Miehun Daoren, an Integration Late Stage Great Power of the Human Race.

"My Reincarnation Secret Technique was indeed a success."

"I have finally awakened from the confusion of the womb."

"Fortunately, I did not encounter any danger before this."

At this moment, in a residential complex in a city on Fengxi Island, the twelve-year-old youth Zou Yi takes a deep breath, his pair of youthful eyes seemingly revealing emotions weathered by time.

He was originally one of the more than one hundred Integration Great Powers of the Human Race, known as Miehun Daoren, holding a high and powerful position.

He was also hailed as the Cultivator with the most hope of ascending to the Great Vehicle stage.

Regrettably, this time the Human Race obtained an Immortal Artifact and was besieged by various races.

He also unfortunately encountered a Great Vehicle Cultivator of an Alien race, and thus his body died and his path vanished.

Fortunately, he had obtained a secret technique from an ancient ruin called the Reincarnation Secret Technique.

If this Soul secret technique is cast, it can ensure the Soul does not perish, allowing for reincarnation and rebirth.

However, this technique can only be cast when the original body dies.

And it can only be cast once in a lifetime.

Furthermore, to succeed, the original body must die an unnatural death; if one dies of old age, this technique cannot be activated.

Therefore, this technique was also his final trump card for survival.

Never did he expect that he would ultimately have to use this trump card to save his own little life.

Moreover, the target for reincarnation must be a living being of the same race.

He was unable to reincarnate into the body of an Alien.

After all, the Souls of different races are actually different; even if one were to reincarnate into the body of an Alien, it would lead to a mismatch of the Soul, causing a rejection reaction and resulting in the failure of the rebirth.

However, judging by the result, he ultimately succeeded, reborn as a twelve-year-old youth.

"So that's how it is; the place I am in is actually Fengxi Island in the Shattered Star Sea."

"This is also the only territory of the Human Race in the Shattered Star Sea."

"I really did not expect that there would actually be a branch of the Human Race in the Shattered Star Sea."

"No, that's not right. Why is the name Fengxi Island so familiar? Could it have a great connection to Fengxi City?"

"My heavens, Fengxi Island was actually built by Fengxi City, and it has truly survived in the Shattered Star Sea."

At this time, Zou Yi is also browsing the memories of the past twelve years of this body.

He immediately discovered that the place he is currently in is the famous Shattered Star Sea.

To tell the truth, even as an Integration Great Power, he would not dare to venture into such a place.

After all, there have been Great Vehicle Cultivators who fell in the Shattered Star Sea, let alone an Integration Great Power.

Moreover, the resources of the Canglong Continent alone were enough for his cultivation; there was no need to go to any Shattered Star Sea.

Yet this time, his reincarnation brought him to this famous Shattered Star Sea.

One can only say that perhaps it is the arrangement of fate.

He had naturally heard of Fengxi City; after all, Fengxi Daoren, who founded Fengxi City, is a famous Integration Great Power and also the female Cultivator of the Human Race with the most hope of ascending to the Great Vehicle stage, with a reputation for beauty that spreads far and wide.

Basically, there is no one who does not know of her.

At first, when he heard that Fengxi Daoren intended to move Fengxi City to the Shattered Star Sea, he felt that she was doomed.

Even if she could survive for a time, it would be impossible to survive for very long.

Sooner or later, Fengxi City would be destroyed in the chaotic Shattered Star Sea.

But looking at it now, it seems to have exceeded his imagination; not only did she survive in the Shattered Star Sea, but she is also living very well, and the number of humans has increased many times over.

Now, this body of his is a newborn of Fengxi Island.

"Yi'er, how are you feeling now? Is your body feeling any better?"

At this time, the parents of this body of Zou Yi walk into the bedroom, looking at Zou Yi with great concern.

Because just a moment ago, Zou Yi had suddenly fallen unconscious and developed a high fever.

They had found a doctor to take a look, but could not find the cause.

Fortunately, he woke up in time, otherwise they would not have known what to do.

"Father, Mother, my body is fine now, no need to worry."

Zou Yi spoke instinctively.

As an old monster of the Integration stage, he naturally had no psychological barriers to pretending to be a youth.

To survive and obtain resources, there was nothing he had not done.

If he showed too many abnormalities, someone might discover that he had possessed this body.

Of course, he had not possessed it, but had been reincarnated.

Therefore, even if a Great Ability came to investigate his physical condition, they would not find anything suspicious.

Because this was his own body to begin with.

"It's good that you're okay. Your body is too weak right now, and you haven't eaten for a long time. Come out and have some dinner."

Zou Fu said.

"Yes, Father."

Hearing this, Zou Yi nodded. He did indeed feel that his body was a bit weak and needed to consume some food to replenish the vital energy in his body.

After coming out of the bedroom, he immediately saw the dining table in the living room covered with a dazzling array of food. There were various kinds of Wild Beast meat, and the whole room was filled with a charming, fragrant scent.

"So much Wild Beast meat?"

Zou Yi widened his eyes, finding it simply unbelievable.

He could sense that his parents' cultivation was only at the Golden Core Realm, but the Wild Beast meat on the table was actually at the Golden Core Realm, and some were even at the Nascent Soul level.

Since when could Human Race Golden Core Cultivators be this extravagant? What kind of family was this that could afford such expensive Wild Beast meat? It was truly mind-boggling.

To tell the truth, when he had just regained his memories, he discovered he was living in a cramped, coffin-like room of only one hundred square meters, and he had felt that his parents in this life must be very poor.

He had long since prepared himself mentally.

But who could have imagined it? You cannot judge a person by their appearance, just as you cannot measure the sea with a bucket.

This family could actually afford to eat such expensive Wild Beast meat.

No wonder the Qi and blood of this body were so abundant; it was almost comparable to a Body Cultivator.

Compared to the same period in his previous life, his physical fitness was truly much stronger.

He felt his physical fitness was similar to the descendants of those powerful races.

To tell the truth, he was very satisfied with this body of his.

At least he hadn't transmigrated into some sickly weakling.

"Haha, we had good luck today."

"The harvest from our Fengxi Island fishing boats was great today."

"Plus, your mother went to the port early today, which is why we were able to snap up some Nascent Soul-level Wild Beast meat at a low price."

"Of course, your cultivation is too low, so it's not suitable for you to eat Wild Beast meat of such a high level."

"Just eat some Foundation Establishment-level Wild Beast meat; don't over-replenish."

Zou Fu laughed heartily, feeling that he had indeed gotten a great bargain today.

After all, Nascent Soul Wild Beast meat at such a low price could not be bought just anytime.

Only when the fishing boats had a bumper harvest could one possibly buy cheap Wild Beast meat.

"So that's how it is."

At this very moment, Zou Yi also triggered some memories of this body once again.

Although he had obtained some information about Fengxi Island from the memories of this body, he did not understand every year's memories; after all, he had only just awakened his memories of his past life.

It would still take a certain amount of time to become completely familiar with this brand-new place.

He immediately knew where this Wild Beast meat came from.

The Shattered Star Sea was originally a paradise for Wild Beasts.

One could not know how many powerful Wild Beasts were bred in the depths of the sea.

This sea area was not lacking in anything, except that the number of Wild Beasts was simply too vast.

Therefore, a huge fishing ground had appeared around Fengxi Island, specifically for hunting Wild Beasts in the sea.

Consequently, they could hunt Wild Beasts from the sea every day.

Basically, every household had Wild Beast meat to eat at every meal.

Such a life was many times happier than that of the residents of the Human Imperial City.

After all, in the Human Imperial City, apart from the children of those great families, where would the common people have such treatment?

Being able to eat Spirit Rice at every meal would already be considered quite good.

"The reason Fengxi Island can safely hunt Wild Beasts in the depths of the sea..."

"... is because of the Seven-Tier High-Grade Great Array set up on Fengxi Island—the Five Elements Sumeru Mist Array."

"This array covers the surrounding sea area and can form an artificial fishing ground, attracting a large number of Wild Beasts to enter."

"Once these Wild Beasts enter, it's like catching turtles in a jar; those Wild Beasts can only be slaughtered at will."

Zou Yi was amazed.

He admired Fengxi Daoren to the point of prostration; to think he could come up with such a method for hunting Wild Beasts.

This was equivalent to being able to hunt a large number of Wild Beasts every day, saving an unknown amount of effort.

If they were on the Canglong Continent, if they wanted to hunt Wild Beasts, they could only enter mountain ranges with complex terrain.

But these mountain ranges had very complex terrain, and Wild Beasts hid within them.

If one was not careful, not only would they fail to hunt the Wild Beasts, but they might also be killed by them.

Therefore, it was basically impossible for the Human Race to obtain abundant Wild Beast meat.

How could it be like it is now, where one can hunt a large number of Wild Beasts so easily?

Now, even mortals can eat meat at every meal; it is truly mind-boggling.

If he hadn't been reincarnated in this place, he wouldn't have thought that the former Fengxi City had developed to such a point today; one can only say that this Fengxi Daoren is too formidable.

Of course, such a method could only be achieved in the Shattered Star Sea.

After all, only the Shattered Star Sea could possibly have so many Wild Beasts.

It must be said, the Shattered Star Sea is indeed a land of treasure, rich in resources.

If one could truly secure a foothold here, it would indeed be of infinite benefit to the development of the Human Race.

"Father, I wonder how many people are on our Fengxi Island now?"

Zou Yi asked curiously.

He was merely a twelve-year-old boy, so naturally, he could not know too many things.

Moreover, his predecessor was just a boy who basically only liked to play; how would he have wanted to know about deeper things?

"How many people? As of now, there might already be three hundred billion people."

Zou Fu thought for a moment and spoke.

"Three hundred billion people?!"

Hearing this, Zou Yi's pupils contracted; he knew that it had only been a few hundred years since Fengxi City arrived at the Shattered Star Sea, and he had not expected it to have developed to three hundred billion people.

The speed of population reproduction is truly too fast.

But perhaps this is the normal rate of reproduction.

If the Human Race had no external dangers and no population loss from war, who knows how many people the Human Race would have had long ago.

"That's right, the population on the island is truly too large."

"But the area of Fengxi Island is only so big."

"It is said that in a few hundred more years, the population will likely exceed one trillion."

"That is why the price of houses on Fengxi Island is becoming more and more expensive now."

"Fortunately, when we were young, we gritted our teeth and took out a loan to buy a house."

"That is the only reason we have a house to live in."

"Otherwise, with the price of houses getting more and more expensive now, how could we afford to live here?"

Zou Fu said with great emotion.

When he was young, he felt houses were expensive, but after several decades, he discovered that the houses back then were too cheap.

The houses of today are the truly expensive ones.

Ordinary Cultivators probably cannot even afford the down payment and can only rent houses to live in.

"Isn't that so? It is said that compared to before, the price of houses now has increased by as much as ten times."

"But it doesn't matter; after the City Lord learned of this, he planned to build more high-rise buildings."

"Perhaps in the future, many buildings over a hundred stories high will appear, and every household will live in a skyscraper."

Zou Mu smiled slightly.

She was not at all worried about the lack of land on Fengxi Island; this was merely a false proposition.

As long as one keeps building high-rise buildings of over a hundred stories, one can always accommodate countless Cultivators.

If that is still not enough, then the floors will just be added higher.

In short, add until it is enough.

"Father, Mother, if that is the case, then is the Spirit Qi we cultivate still enough?"

"With so many people living together, how can the Spirit Qi be enough to go around?"

Zou Yi frowned.

He felt that this was very inappropriate.

After all, for a residential complex to house hundreds of thousands or millions of people is truly too exaggerated.

If everyone is cultivating, how much Spirit Qi would be needed?

One must know, the reason why the Human Race needs to constantly open up new cities is not because the cities cannot accommodate more Humans.

It is because a Seven-Tier Spirit Vein cannot accommodate more Cultivators.

After all, the total amount of Spirit Qi in a Seven-Tier Spirit Vein is only so much; if the number of people is too large, it will inevitably dilute the heaven and earth Spirit Qi that each Cultivator can obtain, which will also lower the cultivation speed of every Cultivator.

Therefore, the number of Cultivators that each Spirit Vein can accommodate is limited; it cannot increase infinitely.

Of course, if one is not cultivating, then it does not matter.

The problem is, how could one not cultivate?

"Oh, it seems my son has grown up, to actually think of this aspect of the problem."

"The learning results in the Dao Academy are quite good."

Hearing this, Zou Fu looked at his son with great satisfaction; he had originally thought his son was just a playful child, but he had not expected him to be able to think about such profound questions.

This is a question that every twelve-year-old boy can think of.

To tell the truth, this represents that his son has a certain degree of aptitude.

"Actually, the principle is very simple."

"The reason why we are not short of Spirit Qi in every house."

"Is because Array Masters have set up Spirit Gathering Arrays in every building and every house."

"Every house will have a Spirit Qi pipe, and the vast heaven and earth Spirit Qi will be transported through the array pipes into every house, so every one of our houses is a Cave Abode."

"Otherwise, how could houses sell for so much?"

Zou Fu smiled slightly and explained the principle behind it.

"So that's how it is."

Hearing this, Zou Yi suddenly realized; this is indeed a masterfully crafted design method.

Although high-rise buildings will dilute the heaven and earth Spirit Qi of various places, if it is arranged through arrays, the Spirit Qi can be transported through array pipes to every household.

In this way, not only can the efficiency of Spirit Qi usage be higher, but it can also allow every household to have sufficient Spirit Qi.

From a certain perspective, it is somewhat similar to the principle of running water.

That is why many Human Cultivators are willing to live in the higher levels.

As long as there is sufficient Spirit Qi in the place where they reside, that is enough.

As for the size of the space, it actually does not matter much.

"But Father, even so, the total amount of Spirit Qi from a Spirit Vein is limited."

"Even if it can be distributed through an Array Formation."

"But as time passes, there will still be a situation where Spirit Qi is insufficient, right?"

Zou Yi felt that this was still treating the symptoms but not the root cause.

Although it can be distributed to thousands of households, there is only so much Spirit Qi, and as the population grows larger, the amount of Spirit Qi everyone can actually be allocated becomes less and less.

Sooner or later, the resources of Fengxi Island will collapse due to the excessive population.

Of course, it is not as if there is no way to solve this problem, which is to open up new islands and search for new Seven-Tier Spirit Veins.

But if that happens, many people will surely die.

Every time land is reclaimed, a large number of people are lost.

In fact, if the population of the Human Race did not die off, by this day, there is no telling how many people there would be.

He felt that this was also the inevitable path for the Human Race in the Shattered Star Sea, which no one could avoid.

"That is correct, this problem does indeed exist."

"If it were in the past, our Human Race would only be able to open up new islands and search for new Spirit Veins."

"But now it is different; Ancestor Zhou has already found a solution for us."

Zou Fu smiled slightly.

"A solution? What kind of solution?"

Zou Yi asked curiously.

He did not expect that such an age-old problem of the Human Race could actually be solved by someone; it was simply incredible.

If this problem could truly be solved, then the number of people that every Human city could accommodate would certainly increase, and the Human Race would also be able to nurture more Human Cultivators.

This is simply an achievement for the ages.

"Spirit Vein Flower."

"This is a unique spirit flower found by Ancestor Zhou."

"Once it grows, it can automatically form a brand-new Spirit Vein."

"Although the area covered by each Spirit Vein Flower is not very large, if the quantity increases, the Spirit Qi it can provide is still quite astonishing, not at all inferior to any naturally formed Spirit Vein."

"It is said that Ancestor Zhou has now cultivated tens of thousands of Eighth Rank Spirit Vein Flowers."

"If things continue like this, then the Spirit Vein of our Fengxi Island may evolve into an Eighth-Order Spirit Vein."

"By then, Fengxi Island will be fully capable of accommodating a larger population."

Zou Fu smiled slightly, pointing out that the key to Fengxi Island not lacking Spirit Qi now lies in the Spirit Vein Flower.

In fact, over the past hundred years, Zhou Sui has already cultivated a large number of Spirit Vein Flowers.

Moreover, he has planted these Spirit Vein Flowers at the source of the Seven-Tier Spirit Vein on Fengxi Island.

In this way, it enables the Seven-Tier Spirit Vein of Fengxi Island to provide even more massive amounts of Spirit Qi.

As the Spirit Qi continuously increases, the Seven-Tier Spirit Vein will be promoted to an Eighth-Order Spirit Vein.

It can be said that this is a qualitative improvement.

"Spirit Vein Flower? After it grows, it is like a naturally formed Spirit Vein?"

"Does such a miraculous flower actually exist in the world? Where exactly was it found?"

Zou Yi was extremely astonished, and his heart was practically surging with stormy waves.

To tell the truth, if such a miraculous flower really existed in the world, then there would be no need to search for Spirit Veins at all.

One could just find any place, plant a large number of Spirit Vein Flowers, and form an artificial Spirit Vein.

Then, no matter where one is, it could be transformed into a cultivation holy land.

This is simply a revolutionary change.

Of course, he felt that it was not impossible for such a miraculous flower to appear in the world.

After all, the Spirit World is truly too vast, boundless and limitless.

Even an ancient Great Vehicle Cultivator would not dare to say that they are familiar with every place and every thing in the Spirit World.

Perhaps in some remote corner of the Spirit World, some unique plants might be growing.

One can only say that this Ancestor Zhou's luck is truly too good to have found such a unique miraculous flower; it is as if Heaven itself is blessing the Human Race.

In the long run, the improvement to the strength of the Human Race will be incredibly astonishing.

He could not even imagine how many high-level Cultivators the Human Race would give birth to if this continued.

"I am not clear; Ancestor Zhou is mysterious and unfathomable, and we owe our good life to Ancestor Zhou."

"Moreover, we cannot speculate about such a great figure as Ancestor Zhou."

"It is said that Ancestor Zhou is about to be promoted to the Integration Realm, and I do not know if it is true."

"If it is true, that would be wonderful."

Zou Fu said with great anticipation.

For low-level Cultivators like them, they naturally hope that the more high-level Cultivators there are, the better.

Especially a great figure like Ancestor Zhou.

Now, just being in the Refining Void Realm is already so extraordinary.

If he is promoted to the Integration Realm, wouldn't Fengxi Island take off?!

"About to be promoted to the Integration Realm?"

Hearing this, Zou Yi's mouth twitched; he didn't know what to say.

To be honest, in the memories of this body he now inhabited, this Ancestor Zhou was truly famous, known to every man, woman, and child.

He was basically the second most important figure after Fengxi Daoren.

The reason Fengxi Island had undergone such earth-shattering changes had everything to do with this Ancestor Zhou.

It was said that this person was an Ascender.

He had only been in the Spirit World for a few hundred years, yet his cultivation had broken through all the way to the Infusion Late Stage.

If he were to advance to Integration, that would mean he went from Spirit Severing to Integration in less than a thousand years.

Such a cultivation speed was simply terrifyingly fast.

If he were staying in the Human Imperial City, this person would definitely be targeted by many Integration Great Powers.

Even the Human Emperor would be very curious.

But staying on Fengxi Island, this person had nothing to fear.

After all, this Ancestor Zhou was the strongest, and Fengxi Daoren, as well as Tao Daoren, seemed to have ambiguous relationships with him.

I am afraid this man was the true mastermind behind Fengxi Island.

However, having said that, if this person really stayed in the Human Imperial City, he might not have revealed so many methods and secrets; after all, no one in the world is a fool.

"By the way, in a few days, you have your exam."

"If you can get into the Eighty-Eight Dao Courtyard this time, that would be a great honor for our ancestors."

Zou Fu looked at Zou Yi with great anticipation.

After all, Zou Yi was only a twelve-year-old boy now, and at this age, he had to start attending a Dao Academy.

He had attended school before, but that was only a primary Dao Academy, equivalent to elementary school.

What followed was the real main event.

If one could get into a good Dao Academy, it would be half the effort for twice the result.

There would also be a huge guarantee for the future.

"Don't dream; the Eighty-Eight Dao Courtyard is where Ancestor Zhou is."

"It is also the best Dao Academy on Fengxi Island right now."

"I don't know how many geniuses are breaking their heads trying to join the Eighty-Eight Dao Courtyard."

"But every year, the Eighty-Eight Dao Courtyard only recruits three thousand people."

"Of course, once you get in, you naturally ascend to the heavens in a single step."

Zou Mu was also very expectant; if he could really get into the Eighty-Eight Dao Courtyard, it would truly be ascending to the heavens in a single step.

It was said that students who graduated from the Eighty-Eight Dao Courtyard were at least Nascent Soul Cultivators.

Those who were more outstanding could all become Spirit Severing.

Even becoming a Refining Void Old Ancestor in the future was not impossible.

But she also knew how much her son was worth.

Although his grades were usually considered quite good, they could at most be considered excellent.

But to get into the Eighty-Eight Dao Courtyard, being excellent was not enough; one had to be at the very top level to stand out among countless candidates.

But how easy is it to achieve that?

"The Eighty-Eight Dao Courtyard?"

Zou Yi narrowed his eyes; he felt that he indeed needed to join the best Dao Academy, for only by obtaining the best resources and conditions could he rise rapidly.

After all, as a former Integration Great Power, slow cultivation did not suit his personality.

Only by quickly recovering his former cultivation could he master his own destiny.

Of course, as an Integration Great Power starting over, this was nothing.

His cultivation speed was naturally many times faster than before.

So he had to display peerless talent so that others would not suspect anything, and would even find it a matter of course.

This was the privilege of a peerless genius.

At the same time, he was also very curious about what kind of abilities that mysterious Ascender, Zhou Sui, actually had.

To be able to bring such great changes to Fengxi Island.

Following this development, perhaps Zhou Sui would be the next Human Emperor.

…………

A few days later.

Zou Yi took the Dao Academy exam, and the result was very smooth; he got into the Eighty-Eight Dao Courtyard with extremely excellent grades, becoming a student of the Eighty-Eight Dao Courtyard.

He could also logically enter the Eighty-Eight Dao Courtyard to study.

This made the Zou family incredibly excited; this was simply a major event that brought honor to their ancestors.

They called friends and gathered guests, celebrating for a whole day.

"Son, you are twelve years old; although there is still some time until you are eighteen, you are mature enough, and it is time for you to enter a whole new domain."

"I suppose you are also very curious why your parents are always talking about topics you don't understand."

"This can be considered the greatest secret of our Fengxi Island, which outsiders cannot possibly know."

"Even for newborns, they need to be at least twelve years old before they can start to come into contact with it."

Zou Fu smiled slightly, looking at his son, Zou Yi.

The greatest secret of Fengxi Island?!

Hearing this, Zou Yi's heart stirred; to be honest, he did feel a bit of dissonance, which was that his parents often slept, which was very unusual for a Cultivator.

After all, for a true Cultivator, even not sleeping for seven days and seven nights was nothing.

Not to mention a dignified Golden Core Cultivator.

Therefore, this behavior of his parents was very strange.

However, when he went to ask, he was intentionally or unintentionally brushed off by his parents, who said this was cultivation.

The problem was, what kind of Cultivator cultivates while sleeping? It was truly inconceivable.

When he was young, he was very curious about one point, but his parents always said they would tell him after he grew up.

So, has the time to grow up finally arrived now?!

He was very excited right now.

"Do you know what this is?"

Suddenly, Zou Fu extended the back of his right hand, and immediately a strange pattern appeared on the back of his hand, as if it were a mysterious Rune mark, unfathomable.

"This!"

Zou Yi looked closely and sensed that this mark seemed to contain infinite mysteries, like a black hole, capable of devouring his Soul, before he could even think much more.

Suddenly, his own hand felt hot, producing a slight stinging pain.

Immediately following, the same Rune mark appeared on the back of his hand as well.

What is this?!

Zou Yi was both shocked and angry; although he did not think his parents would harm him, as a former Integration Stage Cultivator, how could he be willing to let such an unknown thing appear on his body?

Yet, no matter what method he tried, he was unable to remove it.

It seemed that in an instant, his Soul had signed a contract with this Rune mark, engraving an inescapable Soul brand.

"Don't worry, this is a Nightmare Mark."

"Through this mark, you can Enter Dream into the Dream World."

Zou Fu smiled slightly.

Seeing the mark appear on Zou Yi, he immediately let out a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on his face.

"Dream World? What is the Dream World?"

Zou Yi took a deep breath; now that the matter was settled, he had no other way.

He could only try his best to understand this thing called the Dream World.

However, judging from the current situation, the Dream World seemed to be a good thing.

Otherwise, his parents would not have given this Nightmare Mark to him.

"The so-called Dream World is actually a virtual world."

"The Nightmare Mark is an access permission to enter the Dream World gifted to us by Ancestor Zhou."

"Except for us Humans, no one else can obtain the Nightmare Mark."

"Therefore, this is not something that can be obtained just like that."

"Moreover, after obtaining the Nightmare Mark, you cannot disclose matters regarding the Dream World to anyone who has not obtained a Nightmare Mark, otherwise you will breach the contract and die on the spot."

"That is why we did not reveal any news about the Dream World to you before."

"Only when you reached the age of twelve and could enter the Dream World did we reveal the relevant information to you and condense the Nightmare Mark to obtain the permission to enter the Dream World."

Zou Fu said in a deep voice.

It was not that he did not want to mention it before, but due to the restrictions of the contract, he could not speak of it.

Otherwise, he would have breached the contract and suffered the punishment of the Nightmare Mark.

"There is actually such a mandatory contract?"

"What exactly is the function of the Dream World?"

Zou Yi was immediately extremely curious; since the restrictive conditions of the Dream World were so numerous, it meant that the person who controlled the Dream World was very worried about someone leaking news of the Dream World, thereby inviting great disaster.

Therefore, only by using such means could the leakage of the Dream World be avoided.

It meant that the Dream World was extremely important.

It even reached the point of being a matter of life and death; otherwise, how could it be valued so highly?

"The Dream World is, of course, very important."

"If not for the Dream World, your parents and I would not have been able to become Golden Core Cultivators so quickly."

"It can be said that the appearance of the Dream World has a huge promoting effect on our Human Race."

"If we are in the Dream World, we can simulate everything that happens in reality."

"For example, we can simulate Alchemy, simulate Talisman making, simulate combat, and so on."

"And after we accumulate enough experience in the Dream World, we can bring it into reality."

"Ever since the Dream World appeared, the number of Alchemists and Talisman Masters on Fengxi Island has increased at a geometric rate."

Zou Fu said with great emotion.

Normally, it would have been difficult for him to become an Alchemist in this lifetime.

After all, the initial costs to become an Alchemist were simply too high, not something an ordinary family could afford.

But ever since the Dream World appeared, the threshold has been lowered by who knows how many times.

He could completely simulate Alchemy within the Dream World.

After his Alchemy technique became Proficient, he would then practice Alchemy in reality.

In this way, the probability of his Alchemy success would increase at a geometric rate.

It can be said that on the road to becoming an Alchemist, he saved who knows how much in costs.

"It can actually simulate everything that happens in reality?"

Zou Yi's pupils contracted.

As an Integration Stage Cultivator, he was naturally not a fool, and he immediately realized the huge effect of the Dream World on Human Cultivators.

If everyone could use the Dream World, then the number and overall strength of Human Cultivators would see an astonishing increase.

In the long run, he could not imagine what level the strength of the Human Race would reach.

"The Dream World is not just capable of simulating events that happen in reality."

"It is also a sacred place for learning."

"You can purchase various cultivation techniques and arts within the Dream World."

"These arts can be instilled directly into your sea of consciousness, allowing you to master an art instantly."

"You could say it saves you an unknown amount of cultivation effort."

"Of course, this only applies to some low-tier arts; divine abilities still require one's own cultivation."

"However, even so, this greatly saves our cultivation time."

Zou Fu's mother smiled slightly and spoke of the second use of the Dream World: direct enlightenment.

In fact, this power comes from the Book Gu.

The Book Gu and the Dream Soul Gu can be fused together.

When knowledge is being instilled, the power of the Book Gu can be utilized to infuse that knowledge.

In this way, it facilitates countless Human Cultivators, thereby saving them a vast amount of learning time.

Of course, more complex divine abilities and arts still require Human Cultivators to learn and master them on their own.

It is not that direct enlightenment is impossible, but the brain of an ordinary Human Cultivator is only so large; if one were to force a direct enlightenment, it would only blow the other person's head apart.

That would be a loss that outweighs the gain.

"What?!"

Hearing this, Zou Yi's heart was stirred into a tempest, and he did not know what to say.

He immediately realized why the existence of the Dream World was strictly restricted and kept from outsiders.

If the existence of the Dream World were known to other races, then the Human Race would face a catastrophe.

This is not something that an ordinary Immortal Artifact can compare to.

Even if the True Spirits knew about this, they would likely swarm here, and by then, Fengxi Island would be razed to the ground.

"Father, could this Dream World be an Immortal Artifact?"

Zou Yi could not help but ask; he thought and thought but could not imagine any Dharma Treasure capable of such a feat, fearing that only the legendary Immortal Artifacts could achieve this.

"To tell the truth, this is also the speculation of most of our Cultivators; this must be a capability of an Immortal Artifact."

"The reason Ancestor Zhou could become a Seven-Tier Array Master, a Seventh-Tier Alchemist, and so on at such a young age is precisely because of his great connection to the Dream World; it was only by receiving the help of the Dream World that he could grow to where he is today."

"However, now that Ancestor Zhou is willing to bring out this Immortal Artifact and contribute it to all Human Cultivators, it is naturally an incomparable benefit for us."

"This is also the greatest foundation of our Human Race, so this matter must absolutely not be leaked."

Zou Fu said with a very serious expression.

He naturally knew just how astonishing the existence of the Dream World was.

Even the True Spirit Race cannot possess a Dream World, yet the Human Race now has one.

It is the so-called "an innocent man treasures a jade ring, but it becomes a crime."

Fortunately, Fengxi Island is currently in a state of lockdown, and no Human Cultivator can leave.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about the news of the Dream World leaking out in the short term.

Even if one wanted to be a traitor, it would likely be impossible to do so.

"Understood, Father."

Zou Yi nodded earnestly; he felt deeply moved, thinking that Zhou Sui was truly a person with the world in his heart and a broad mind.

Which normal Human Cultivator, upon obtaining such a supreme treasure, would not hide it away and keep it from being leaked?

They would be terrified that other Cultivators would develop greed and attempt to kill them to seize the treasure.

Yet that Ancestor Zhou is different; he actually brought it out directly, allowing everyone to use it.

Such magnanimity is not something everyone possesses.

"By the way, Father, what exactly does the inside of the Dream World look like?"

Zou Yi asked curiously.

Although he wanted to enter the Dream World immediately to figure out what the situation was, he still wanted to gather all the intelligence before entering.

This is the so-called "know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated."

He was in no rush for the moment.

"Well, the Dream World is divided into two parts."

"The first part is the Main World; the so-called Main World reflects the real world, simulating everything in the real world, and is basically the same as the real world."

"If you were to enter the Dream World now, you would enter the Main World; it reflects the Shattered Star Sea and the Kunpeng Sea Area, and it is a one-hundred-percent simulation of the Kunpeng Sea Area."

Zou Fu explained.

"A one-hundred-percent simulation of the Kunpeng Sea Area?"

"Does that mean that even if I don't step out of my house, I can know what the Kunpeng Sea Area is like?"

Zou Yi could not help but ask.

"That's right, that is indeed the case."

"Therefore, some Cultivators who are very curious about the Shattered Star Sea will constantly explore the Main World of the Dream World."

"By exploring the Main World of the Dream World, one can understand more clearly what the Kunpeng Sea Area is like."

"You can even travel to various islands in the Kunpeng Sea Area."

"And on these islands, many virtual characters will also appear."

"These virtual characters are very intelligent, almost like real living beings."

"If I hadn't confirmed it again and again, I would have thought they were a True Person."

"By conversing with virtual characters, you will come to understand the personalities and cultivation levels of the various living beings in the Shattered Star Sea."

"Because it is a one-hundred-percent simulation of reality, situations where people kill to seize treasures might even occur."

Zou Fu said with great emotion.

When he first entered the main world of the Dream World, he was almost bewildered; he couldn't distinguish at all which was real and which was illusory, as it simply blurred the boundary between reality and illusion.
