Chapter 441: The Qianmiao Secret Realm Fifty Years Later, Increasing by Trillions

Fifty years later.

With the formation of the Qianmiao Secret Realm, time flew by, and fifty years passed in the blink of an eye.

For high-level Cultivators, a mere fifty years is naturally not worth mentioning; it is nothing more than the snap of a finger.

But for the Humans living in the Qianmiao Secret Realm, these fifty years have naturally brought earth-shaking changes.

Basically, every single day brought about tremendous changes.

Fengxi Island, a certain Cave Abode.

"Haha, finally reached Spirit Transformation Completion. Once I consume the Two-Yi Void-Breaking Pill, I will be able to advance to the Refining Void Realm."

A young Cultivator laughed heartily, simply unable to contain his joy.

He was the Ascender Wu Di, nicknamed Wu Paopao.

Ever since the Qianmiao Secret Realm was formed, he had begun closed-door cultivation. He spent a full fifty years in seclusion, constantly breaking through his own foundations, and finally reached the realm of Spirit Transformation Completion.

His cultivation speed was indeed incomparable to those geniuses; one could even say it was slow.

But that did not matter.

Because cultivation is actually a long-distance race, not a matter of the faster the better; as long as one can reach the finish line, that is success.

Therefore, he would not compare himself to other Cultivators.

As long as he could make continuous progress and his cultivation level kept rising, then it was a good thing.

Moreover, after a long period of accumulating Contribution Points, he had finally exchanged for a Two-Yi Void-Breaking Pill at the City Lord Mansion.

With this Pill, he had a seventy to eighty percent chance of advancing to the Refining Void Realm.

Swoosh!

Thinking of this, Wu Di did not hesitate and immediately walked out of the Cave Abode.

"Yo, Fellow Daoist Wu, your closed-door cultivation has finally ended."

"It seems your spirit and energy are excellent; you must be quite confident about advancing to the Refining Void Realm."

A Spirit Transformation Cultivator saw Wu Di walk out of the Cave Abode and immediately greeted him.

Wu Di had lived here for one or two hundred years and had gotten to know quite a few friends.

Most of them were Alchemists.

After all, he also survived on Fengxi Island in the capacity of an Alchemist.

And as a Fifth-Tier High-Grade Alchemist, he was considered somewhat famous and was valued by many Cultivators.

"Fellow Daoist Xie Hui, you are too kind; I am still far from it."

"I can only say I have a bit more certainty now."

"By the way, Fellow Daoist Liu and Fellow Daoist Chen, where have they gone?"

Wu Di said very modestly.

He looked around curiously, only to find that his good friends did not seem to be nearby, and he did not know where they had gone.

"As for that, they haven't lived here for a long time."

"They moved to other islands."

The Spirit Transformation Cultivator Xie Hui explained.

"Moved to other islands? Why is that? Weren't they living here just fine?"

Wu Di was very curious.

The city he currently lived in was the famous City of Alchemists on Fengxi Island, where countless Alchemists resided.

It could be said that this place was a holy land for Alchemists.

Basically, every day, a large number of Alchemists would exchange their Alchemy experiences with one another.

And everyone would open their hearts, never stingy with their own experience.

This also allowed every Alchemist here to benefit greatly.

To tell the truth, in all the places Wu Di had been, this was the first time he had come to a city where Cultivators had no prejudices or guard against each other. He felt that this place was simply his paradise, and he no longer needed to live in fear, worrying about backstabbing from other Cultivators that would lead to his death and soul dissipation, so he still felt a bit lonely regarding the departure of his friends.

Of course, he also knew that since the formation of the Qianmiao Secret Realm, it was not just Fengxi Island that existed within the Secret Realm.

It had also given birth to a large number of islands, at least several hundred thousand of them.

The problem was, how could the cultivation environment of those islands compare to Fengxi Island?

Those islands were basically barren, uninhabited, and had not been thoroughly developed yet.

Without any particular necessity, no one was willing to live on those barren islands.

"Living here is naturally very good, but earning Contribution Points is also very slow."

"Previously, the City Lord Mansion issued a Land Reclamation Order. If any Spirit Transformation Cultivators go to other islands to reclaim land and build islands, then every Spirit Transformation Cultivator can obtain a large amount of Contribution Points."

"So, many fellow daoists heard this news and signed up one after another to go reclaim islands and build new cities."

"After all, wanting to accumulate enough Contribution Points to exchange for a Two-Yi Void-Breaking Pill is not such a simple matter."

"Perhaps you don't know yet, but the Contribution Points required to exchange for a Two-Yi Void-Breaking Pill have skyrocketed; compared to before, they have at least doubled. It is said that if you don't exchange for one now, the price might continue to rise."

"You can be considered to have exchanged just in time; otherwise, based on your Contribution Points, you wouldn't be able to afford a Two-Yi Void-Breaking Pill."

The Spirit Transformation Cultivator Xie Hui now regretted it so much that his intestines were turning green. If he had known the price of the Two-Yi Void-Breaking Pill would rise, he would have borrowed from other fellow daoists at that time to buy the Two-Yi Void-Breaking Pill.

But now, even if he went bankrupt, he couldn't afford a Two-Yi Void-Breaking Pill.

He simply wished he could slap himself.

Why didn't he exchange for a Two-Yi Void-Breaking Pill in the past?

"The price of the Two-Yi Void-Breaking Pill has risen? Why is that?"

Wu Di was immediately shocked.

Generally speaking, the prices in the Immortal Cultivation World do not rise easily, as supply and demand are basically balanced.

But now that the price of the Two-Yi Void-Breaking Pill has suddenly risen, something major must have happened.

"Naturally, it is because the number of Transformation God cultivators has surged."

"After the Qianmiao Secret Realm was formed, the entire Fengxi Island became shrouded by an Eighth-Order Spirit Vein, which can be called a sacred land for cultivation."

"Some Nascent Soul cultivators received such benefits that they actually broke through one after another, advancing to the Spirit Severing realm."

"It can be said that the number of Transformation God cultivators has increased by a full hundred percent compared to before."

"As time goes on, the number of Transformation God cultivators will surely be even higher."

Transformation God Cultivator Xie Hui said with great helplessness.

"But even so, the price of the Two-Yi Void-Breaking Pill shouldn't have skyrocketed to this extent, right?"

"After all, these Transformation God cultivators have only just entered the Spirit Severing realm."

"In the short term, they shouldn't need the Two-Yi Void-Breaking Pill, right?"

Wu Di asked.

"Normally, that is indeed the case."

"But these little bastards are all planning ahead."

"Although they haven't advanced to the Spirit Transformation Completion realm yet, they have already started preparing for the breakthrough to Refining Void."

"So these newly promoted Transformation Gods are all joining forces, borrowing from one another, to exchange for the Two-Yi Void-Breaking Pills one by one."

"After all, a single Transformation God cannot accumulate many Contribution Points, but when hundreds of Transformation Gods add them together, that is enough."

"It can be said that this group of bastards joined forces to drive up the price of the Two-Yi Void-Breaking Pill."

Transformation God Cultivator Xie Hui gritted his teeth, wishing he could beat up that group of unscrupulous fellows.

This is purely harming others without benefiting oneself.

"Does the City Lord Mansion not manage this matter?"

Wu Di couldn't help but ask.

He was also secretly shocked and felt extremely fortunate that he had exchanged for his in time.

Otherwise, if the price had doubled, he wouldn't have been able to bear it, and he wouldn't have been able to afford it even if he went bankrupt.

"As for that, the City Lord Mansion won't manage such matters; on the contrary, they are happy to see it happen."

Transformation God Cultivator Xie Hui shook his head.

"Why would they be happy to see it happen?"

Wu Di looked puzzled.

"Because the City Lord Mansion needs a large amount of manpower to reclaim other islands."

"Normally speaking, who would be willing to go reclaim islands?"

"After all, Fengxi Island is already large enough, with all kinds of living facilities complete and the Heaven and Earth Origin Qi rich."

"If there is no need, no cultivator would be willing to leave Fengxi Island."

"If the City Lord Mansion forced other cultivators to reclaim land, they naturally could, but the enthusiasm would not be very high."

"However, if they use Contribution Points to lure other cultivators, then naturally they will be full of motivation."

"It is precisely because of this that many Transformation God cultivators, in order to obtain a large amount of Contribution Points, have no choice but to go reclaim islands and open up cities on other islands."

Transformation God Xie Hui said in a deep voice, explaining the ins and outs of this matter in detail.

He highly suspected that the secret pusher behind the price surge of the Two-Yi Void-Breaking Pill this time was the City Lord Mansion.

The goal was to force other Transformation God cultivators to head to other islands to reclaim land and build new cities.

But even knowing this, he was helpless.

Because the City Lord Mansion is the rule, and they can only comply.

"No wonder so many fellow Daoists have left; it turns out they all went to reclaim islands."

"Since that is the case, why don't you go, Fellow Daoist Xie?"

Wu Di suddenly realized.

"As for that, it's not that I don't want to go, it's just that I had some matters to attend to and was in closed-door cultivation."

"I missed this reclamation order."

"So this errand didn't fall to me; it has basically been completely occupied by those Transformation God cultivators."

Transformation God Cultivator Xie Hui said helplessly.

He naturally wanted to go reclaim land, but unfortunately, there is no such opportunity now.

After all, the population of the entire Qianmiao Secret Realm is limited.

This reclamation plan was merely to disperse the crowded population of Fengxi Island.

After dispersing to a certain extent, there is naturally no need to build more cities.

So the quota for each reclamation city is actually limited.

A single Transformation God cultivator can only reclaim one city.

Each city houses approximately ten million people or so.

"The problem is, doesn't the Qianmiao Secret Realm only have a population of three hundred billion?"

"Why is there a need to disperse and distribute many Humans to other islands?"

Wu Di was very curious.

He felt that according to the current Fengxi Island Secret Realm, it could completely accommodate a larger population.

There was no need at all to go reclaim other islands.

Nor was there any need to disperse the population.

"Three hundred billion people? That is all old news."

"The population of the Qianmiao Secret Realm must exceed 1.2 trillion by now, I fear."

The corners of Transformation God Xie Hui's mouth twitched.

"How is that possible? It has only been a mere fifty years; how could the population have exploded by three or four times?"

"What on earth happened?"

Wu Di was suddenly startled, as the population growth rate of Fengxi Island had never been this astonishing before.

Why did the population explode by more than three or four times in the blink of an eye? It was truly too exaggerated.

"As for that, it is because of a policy from the City Lord Mansion."

"It seems to be called the Three-Child Policy; as long as one can produce three children, they are rewarded with one Martial Dao Pill."

"The result is easy to imagine; those mortals went completely insane."

"After all, for them to accumulate enough Contribution Points to obtain a Martial Dao Pill, to enter the Dao through martial arts and conceive a Spirit Root, it requires at least a hundred years of accumulation."

"But now, they only need to have three children, so they have been giving birth desperately during this period."

"Some animals even had over a dozen children and obtained three or four Martial Dao Pills."

"Of course, the City Lord Mansion later plugged this loophole; each person can obtain at most three Martial Dao Pills."

"Only then was this crazy momentum stopped, but even so, a massive number of children were still born."

"The result is easy to imagine; the population of the Qianmiao Secret Realm exploded crazily, reaching a trillion in a short time."

"Fortunately, the City Lord Mansion urgently called a halt to this Three-Child Policy during this time, otherwise the population would be even higher."

Transformation God Xie Hui sighed with emotion.

Although Cultivators with Spirit Roots look down on such rewards, mortals are different; they value them quite highly.

Moreover, the main force of reproduction is actually mortals.

Cultivators are basically a group of guys who marry late and have children late.

Some Cultivators don't even get married and have children until they are two or three hundred years old, and even if they do have children, they only have one or two.

Therefore, one cannot rely on these people to increase the population of the Human Race at all; it still has to depend on mortal reproduction.

After all, the lifespan of mortals is short, a mere hundred years.

Sixteen years is one generation.

And a period of fifty years is enough to experience three generations of population.

One can imagine just how astonishing the reproductive efficiency of mortals is.

If this policy had not been urgently halted, I fear the population would have exploded even further.

Of course, the reason mortals are willing to give birth is not just because of this policy.

More importantly, the Qianmiao Secret Realm is very safe, with no external enemies, so they can naturally give birth and raise their young with peace of mind.

At the same time, the Qianmiao Secret Realm is rich in various resources, planting large amounts of Spirit Rice, and having Wild Beast meat at every meal.

There is absolutely no shortage of food or drink.

They can easily support a whole bunch of children.

That is why the population of the Qianmiao Secret Realm has exploded crazily during this period.

"No wonder there is a need to reclaim wasteland and disperse the large population."

"In a short time, the population increased by 900 billion; how could Fengxi Island possibly withstand such population pressure?"

Wu Di was simply speechless and did not know what to say.

One can only say that he also underestimated the reproductive ability of mortals; they just didn't want to have children, not that they couldn't.

Once there is some kind of catalyst, it will suddenly erupt.

To be honest, he also agrees with the City Lord Mansion's decision to reclaim wasteland.

If they did not reclaim wasteland, even if Fengxi Island were large enough, it could not accommodate so many people.

Of course, this is also trouble created by the City Lord Mansion itself.

If it weren't for this policy to stimulate the population, there wouldn't be such a massive surge of people in a short time.

"But the Spirit Veins on other islands are ordinary; are those Cultivators willing to migrate to other islands?"

Wu Di clearly remembers that the Spirit Veins on other islands in the Qianmiao Secret Realm are ordinary, at most Fifth-tier Spirit Veins, which cannot compare to the Eighth-Order Spirit Vein of Fengxi Island at all.

How could those high-level Cultivators be willing to go to places with thin Spirit Veins? Wouldn't that hinder their own path of the Dao?

"There is no need to worry about this point."

"Have you forgotten? We have Spirit Vein Flowers."

"The City Lord Mansion has issued many Eighth Rank Spirit Vein Flowers, allowing these Eighth Rank Spirit Vein Flowers to be planted on various major islands."

"Therefore, even on many barren islands, there will be the existence of Eighth-Order Spirit Veins."

"Thus, even if they go to other islands, there is absolutely no need to worry that their cultivation environment will decline."

"Moreover, going to other islands also allows one to have a larger house and possess one's own fields."

"If one wants to purchase a Treasure, one can return to Fengxi Island at any time; coming and going is very convenient."

"So many mortals are willing to migrate to other islands."

Transformation God Xie Hui said in a deep voice, briefly explaining the reasons behind it.

"In that case, even if one goes to other islands, one can still enjoy the treatment of an Eighth-Order Spirit Vein."

"No wonder many mortals are flocking there."

"Spirit Vein Flowers are truly infinitely profound."

Wu Di suddenly realized.

If he were a mortal, knowing that moving to other islands had such treatment, he would have gone long ago.

There would be no need to insist on staying on Fengxi Island and not leaving.

Although Fengxi Island is good, the cost of living is expensive; not everyone can afford to live there.

Even if one could truly afford it, one would not live well.

It is not as good as going to other places.

He also sighed inwardly, everything depends on the Spirit Vein Flower.

If it were not for the Spirit Vein Flower, how could every island have an Eighth-Order Spirit Vein?

Such artificial Spirit Veins are simply miraculous and unfathomable.

I do not know where Senior Zhou found such a rare flower of heaven and earth.

One can only say that the world is vast and full of wonders.

"Isn't that so? I also do not know where Senior Zhou found such a rare flower of heaven and earth as the Spirit Vein Flower."

"And to be able to cultivate it on such a large scale."

"Cultivators of other races still need to work hard to find naturally formed Spirit Veins."

"But we of the Human Race do not need to do such things at all."

"Even in a barren land, as long as you carry a Spirit Vein Flower, it is equivalent to possessing an artificial Spirit Vein."

Transformation God Cultivator Xie Hui said with great emotion.

He also knows the magical aspects of the Spirit Vein Flower; it is simply something never seen or heard of before.

Even in the many ancient texts of the Human Race, there has never been any record of such a plant.

However, this is also a very normal thing.

The Human Race is merely a small race in the Spirit World occupying a corner, only clear about their own small plot of land.

How would they know how many races and how many Spirit Medicines the Spirit World has nurtured?

Do not look at how smoothly the Qianmiao Secret Realm is developing; generally speaking, the Human Race is still very ignorant now.

"Is there any way to buy a Spirit Vein Flower?"

Wu Di asked curiously.

He felt that if he also obtained a Spirit Vein Flower, then no matter where he went in the future, he could possess an artificial Spirit Vein, equivalent to carrying an Eighth-Order Spirit Vein on his person.

The benefits of this can be imagined.

"Stop dreaming, Spirit Vein Flowers are not for sale."

"But it is hard to say; perhaps in the future, the Qianmiao Secret Realm will be full of Spirit Vein Flowers, and the City Lord Mansion will sell them."

"But as far as I know, the Spirit Vein Flower is very precious and dies easily; if there is no proper cultivation method, then even if you truly obtain a Spirit Vein Flower, it will not survive for a long time."

Transformation God Cultivator Xie Hui smiled.

He also immediately understood Wu Di's thoughts; such a rare spirit flower is naturally something everyone wants to obtain.

Even he is the same, hoping to obtain a Spirit Vein Flower.

It is a pity that currently, Spirit Vein Flowers will not be sold and can only be used within the Qianmiao Secret Realm.

After all, the Qianmiao Secret Realm has so many islands, and every island needs Spirit Vein Flowers to increase the concentration of Spirit Qi.

Naturally, there is no spare time to sell them to other cultivators.

In the short term, the Spirit Vein Flower still belongs to the strategic materials of the Qianmiao Secret Realm.

"Alright, I was just asking; of course, I also know that this is an impossible thing."

Wu Di spread his hands and said helplessly.

But he is not in a hurry; anyway, he still has a very long lifespan. If he can advance to Refining Void, he can live for at least ten or twenty thousand years. With such a long time, is there no chance to obtain a Spirit Vein Flower?

According to the development speed of the Qianmiao Secret Realm, perhaps after thousands of years, the Spirit Vein Flower will not even be considered a valuable thing.

By then, he will naturally be able to obtain such a rare spirit flower.

However, that is all a matter for the future.

"By the way, are you planning to undergo the tribulation?"

Transformation God Cultivator Xie Hui asked, looking at Wu Di.

"That's right, now that I am at Spirit Transformation Completion and have obtained the Two-Yi Void-Breaking Pill, I naturally want to undergo the tribulation."

Wu Di nodded.

There is nothing to hide about this.

Anyway, it is very safe within the Qianmiao Secret Realm, and there is no need to worry about being backstabbed by other cultivators.

It can be said that there have not been any murder cases for treasure in the Qianmiao Secret Realm for a long time.

The public security is many times better than the places he has stayed before.

"If that is the case, I suggest you go to Dujie Island."

Transformation God Cultivator Xie Hui said straightforwardly.

"What kind of island is Dujie Island?"

Wu Di was stunned, feeling very confused.

"It is normal that you are not clear about it."

"Because Dujie Island was only built in the last few decades."

"This is a special island built personally by Senior Zhou."

"Generally speaking, if a cultivator is approaching the tribulation, they will head to Dujie Island to undergo it."

"After all, over this period of time, a large number of cultivators have become Transformation God Cultivators, and even Refining Void Old Ancestors."

"If everyone undergoes the tribulation within the city, it will definitely cause huge damage to the city."

"It is precisely because of this that Senior Zhou specifically sought out forty-nine islands to serve as the tribulation sites for Human Race cultivators."

"Basically, everyone who needs to undergo the tribulation will head to these islands to do so."

"If one were to undergo the Tribulation elsewhere, it would be a violation of the rules and would be met with punishment."

Transformation God Cultivator Xie Hui said in a deep voice.

"You suggest I head to Dujie Island; I fear such an island is not simple. Could it be that it has some special characteristics?" Wu Di's eyes flickered; he was no fool and immediately realized the special nature of Dujie Island.

If it were not so, Senior Zhou would not have gone to the trouble of building such a special island.

"That is correct. Senior Zhou has cast secret arts upon all forty-nine Dujie Islands."

"For cultivators undergoing the Tribulation on these islands, the power of the Thunder Tribulation they experience will be weakened by at least forty percent."

Transformation God Cultivator Xie Hui smiled slightly.

"Weakened by forty percent? Is this true or false?"

Once these words were spoken, Wu Di's pupils constricted, and he looked at Xie Hui in sheer disbelief.

To tell the truth, even the Tribulation Transcending Magic Treasure he had specifically sought out could not weaken the power of the Tribulation Lightning by forty percent.

Even weakening it by ten percent would be considered quite extraordinary, and it would greatly increase one's probability of surviving the Thunder Tribulation.

Weakening the Thunder Tribulation by forty percent meant that one would almost certainly succeed in the Tribulation.

It was simply no less than obtaining a supreme Tribulation Transcending Magic Treasure.

"Of course it is true. Over the past few decades, I don't know how many cultivators have experienced the benefits of Dujie Island."

"To be honest, this has already become a Tribulation Transcendence Holy Land for major cultivators."

"Originally, some Refining Void cultivators who could not successfully pass the Tribulation, thanks to the help of Dujie Island, actually succeeded in passing the Thunder Tribulation."

"Their cultivation base has also advanced further."

"Otherwise, why would the number of Transformation God cultivators and Refining Void Old Ancestors in the Qianmiao Secret Realm suddenly skyrocket? This is not just because of the Qianmiao Secret Realm; more importantly, it is the appearance of Dujie Island."

Transformation God Cultivator Xie Hui said in a deep voice.

He felt deeply moved internally; the appearance of Dujie Island could be considered a gospel for all high-level cultivators.

After all, who knows how many cultivators have been terrified by the Thunder Tribulation.

Every cultivator facing the Thunder Tribulation would be scared out of their wits, their livers and gallbladders split with fear.

Some would even rather have their Longevity exhausted than dare to trigger the Thunder Tribulation.

After all, once the Thunder Tribulation descends, death is certain; one would inevitably be reduced to ashes, so naturally, no one dared to seek death.

But now it is different.

The appearance of Dujie Island is equivalent to obtaining a Tribulation Transcending Magic Treasure, which can weaken the power of the Thunder Tribulation by forty percent.

In this way, even a pig could successfully pass the Tribulation, right?

"To think that Dujie Island would appear; how exactly did Senior Zhou manage to do it?"

"Why can it weaken the power of the Thunder Tribulation by forty percent?"

Wu Di was completely stunned, simply unable to believe it.

He had never heard of any method that could weaken the Thunder Tribulation by forty percent; it was truly inconceivable.

But if it were true, then it would absolutely be a gospel for many cultivators.

For him, it was also an unprecedented opportunity.

"It is unclear. Some speculate that Senior Zhou arranged some special Array Formations on these islands, forming a barrier, which is why it is able to weaken the power of the Thunder Tribulation and help other cultivators pass the Thunder Tribulation."

"Think about it carefully; Senior Zhou may have long mastered such means."

"Have you forgotten? Previously, when Senior Zhou underwent the Tribulation, what he encountered was not an ordinary Thunder Tribulation, but the famous Jade Pivot Lightning Tribulation, as well as the Ziwei Water Gang Thunder, and so on."

"Where could ordinary cultivators withstand these special Tribulation Lightnings? Even a single strike would be enough to reduce an ordinary cultivator to ashes, their body dead and their Dao extinguished."

"Yet they were easily withstood by Senior Zhou, who remained completely unscathed."

"Now that I think about it carefully, perhaps Senior Zhou had long mastered the secret art of weakening the Thunder Tribulation, which is why he could pass it so successfully. It is just that Senior Zhou is selfless and also wants to increase the number of high-level Human Race cultivators, so he built forty-nine Dujie Islands to help other cultivators successfully pass the Thunder Tribulation."

Transformation God Cultivator Xie Hui said with emotion.

He felt that Senior Zhou must have long mastered such a Tribulation Transcendence secret art, which is why he could successfully pass those special Thunder Tribulations.

Otherwise, how could it be so easy and unscathed?

"It must be so."

"However, this is also a good thing for us."

"If one enters Dujie Island, then the so-called Refining Void Thunder Tribulation is no longer a problem."

"In that case, my Dao is achieved."

Wu Di laughed heartily, overjoyed. Coming to Fengxi Island was indeed the right choice; he never expected that by following the development of Fengxi Island, he could actually obtain this level of benefit.

Originally, he was still worried about whether he could pass the Refining Void Thunder Tribulation.

But now, looking at it, with the help of Dujie Island, plus the many trump cards he had prepared earlier, if he still failed to pass the Thunder Tribulation, then it would purely be his own incompetence.

He couldn't be bothered to care how Dujie Island managed to weaken the Thunder Tribulation; anyway, it didn't matter to him at all. Being able to help him ascend to Refining Void was completely enough.

There are simply too many secrets in this world, and there is no need to understand every single one.

On the contrary, the more secrets one knows, the faster one might die.

"Since that is the case, I wonder when I can head to Dujie Island?"

Wu Di asked impatiently.

After all, he was on the verge of a breakthrough, so naturally, the sooner the better.

"If it were when Dujie Island first appeared, wanting a spot would have been truly too difficult."

"Because there were only forty-nine Dujie Islands, but there were a large number of cultivators who needed to undergo the Tribulation."

"So at the beginning, one had to queue."

"Sometimes it took at least a dozen years of queuing before it was your turn."

"But now it is different; decades have passed, and many cultivators have already undergone the Tribulation."

"So if you go to use Dujie Island now, it should be your turn very soon."

Xie Hui smiled slightly.

He felt that Wu Di's luck was simply too good; not only did he exchange for the Two-Yi Void-Breaking Pill before the price went up, but now that he had finished his seclusion, he actually didn't need to queue to use Dujie Island.

It was as if this kid had occupied all the good things.

The Luck between people really couldn't be compared; compared to him, he himself was a guy with terrible luck.

"Does one need to queue?"

Hearing this, Wu Di couldn't help but nod; to be honest, this was also a very normal thing.

After all, entering Dujie Island to undergo the Thunder Tribulation could weaken the power of the Thunder Tribulation by forty percent; what an astonishing benefit this was.

Let alone waiting for just over ten years, even waiting for a hundred years would be worth it.

Fortunately, there were not many Cultivators who needed to undergo the Thunder Tribulation right now, so there was no need to wait for too long for the time being.

This could also be considered his own good fortune.

He had a premonition that as there were more and more Human Cultivators in the Qianmiao Secret Realm and high-level Cultivators continued to increase, the forty-nine Dujie Islands would likely no longer be free for people to use.

It might even be necessary to use Contribution Points to be able to use Dujie Island.

The reason it was free to use now was simply because the City Lord Mansion wanted to improve the many Human Cultivators.

It was equivalent to a welfare period.

Once the welfare period passed, he was afraid there would be no such good things.

But regardless, he was still lucky to be able to enjoy this benefit.

"Do you want to apply for the right to use Dujie Island now?"

Xie Hui asked curiously.

"No need to rush; since there is no need to queue anyway, it won't be too late to go register later."

"I have just finished my seclusion, and I still want to see what the Qianmiao Secret Realm looks like now."

Wu Di waved his hand; he felt that he was not in a hurry at all, anyway Dujie Island was right there and wouldn't run away, so he would just take his time.

Another day passed.

Wu Di was also wandering around in the Qianmiao Secret Realm, familiarizing himself with this Secret Realm World.

Sure enough, it had undergone earth-shaking changes compared to the Qianmiao Secret Realm before his seclusion.

"Where is this any Qianmiao Secret Realm? It is simply an Empty Island Secret Realm."

"We are living on one Empty Island after another."

Wu Di exclaimed in admiration.

He suddenly discovered that the place where he was located was one Empty Island after another, floating in mid-air, surrounded by clouds and mist.

The mist even condensed into substance, forming thick cloud layers.

Some of these thick white cloud layers were like land, allowing people to step on them without sinking; it was truly incomparably magical.

And in the Qianmiao Secret Realm, there existed a large number of Empty Islands, each one floating in mid-air.

Now they were like immortals living in a fairyland; it was truly inconceivable.

As for Fengxi Island where he was, it had also been developed extensively.

Because the diameter of Fengxi Island had increased by five times, there was more land that could be developed.

Every city had expanded by more than several times compared to before.

After all, the Human Race cities were now mechanical cities, so it was a very simple matter for them to expand outward; they just needed to continuously build corresponding city areas.

It was just like stacking building blocks, continuously piling them up.

As for the original Fengxi City, it had expanded by more than ten times compared to before.

But Fengxi City was no longer in the central area of Fengxi Island, but had migrated out slightly.

In the central area was the City Lord Mansion.

Many Integration Great Powers lived there, and Senior Zhou, as well as his Dao Companion, all lived in the City Lord Mansion.

The entire City Lord Mansion occupied an area of over one hundred thousand mu, with Immortal Palaces built everywhere; it was very luxurious and towering.

Cultivators could only watch from afar and could not approach at all.

Other islands also had cities built on them, scattered across the major islands; each island currently only had one hundred million people living on it, scattered across thousands of islands.

But regardless, it had indeed dispersed quite a bit of the population.

There was no need for everyone to be squeezed onto Fengxi Island.

The distance between islands was actually not very far, so basically, they used flying ships as transportation tools.

For islands that were truly too far away, they would still build a Teleportation Array.

In short, the entire Qianmiao Secret Realm was currently flourishing and incomparably lively.

"The development is truly too fast."

"The previous Qianmiao Secret Realm only had people on Fengxi Island."

"But now, the population is actually dispersed to the major islands."

"If it continues to develop like this, I am afraid every island in the Qianmiao Secret Realm will have a large population."

Wu Di said very excitedly.

He sensed that the speed of the Human Race's development was very fast, with a large increase in population in a short period of time.

At the same time, many high-level Cultivators were also constantly being born.

If it continued like this, the Human Race would sooner or later become a super race of the Spirit World.

Now was just the beginning.

"Haha, isn't this a very normal thing?"

"The reason our Human Race's development speed was slow before was simply because of the invasion of external enemies."

"Human cities would frequently encounter attacks from Wild Beasts and Alien Cultivators; every attack would result in a large number of casualties."

"Especially for mortals, even the aftermath of a high-level Cultivator's strike would kill a large swath of them."

"But it is different now; living in the Qianmiao Secret Realm, where could there be any danger?"

"Basically, once born, one can grow to adulthood, so the population naturally grows rapidly."

Xie Hui also accompanied Wu Di to tour the Qianmiao Secret Realm.

After all, everyone was a long-time friend, and a tour together could also be considered a way to relax one's mood.

"By the way, since that is the case, then how do we leave the Qianmiao Secret Realm?"

"Does the City Lord Mansion not allow us to leave the Qianmiao Secret Realm now?"

Thinking of this, Wu Di asked curiously.

Because no matter how he looked, he could not find the entrance or exit to leave the Qianmiao Secret Realm.

If one could not leave the Qianmiao Secret Realm, then this Secret Realm World would purely be a prison.

"Of course we can leave the Qianmiao Secret Realm."

"In fact, there are currently a total of Nine Entrances to the Qianmiao Secret Realm."

"The Nine Entrances are located on nine different islands."

"These nine islands can move freely within the Qianmiao Secret Realm."

"When they move, the entrances to the Secret Realm also move along with them."

"If we want to leave the Qianmiao Secret Realm, we can head to these nine islands."

"Once we leave through a Secret Realm entrance, we will randomly appear anywhere in this sea area."

Xie Hui explained.

The current exits of the Secret Realm World are basically fixed on these nine islands.

If someone wants to leave the Qianmiao Secret Realm, they can just head to these nine islands.

Then they can pass through the entrances above to leave the Qianmiao Secret Realm and return to the Shattered Star Sea.

"If the entrances appear randomly, then how do we return to the Qianmiao Secret Realm? We can't just be unable to return after leaving, right?"

Wu Di couldn't help but ask; he certainly didn't want to never return after leaving the Qianmiao Secret Realm.

"You can rest assured about that."

"Although the entrances to the Qianmiao Secret Realm are different every day, appearing randomly anywhere in this sea area."

"But we can log into the Dream World, and the Dream World will display the daily distribution map of the entrances."

"As long as you see the entrance distribution map, you will naturally know exactly where the Secret Realm entrances are."

"And this way, there is no need to worry about anyone leaking the specific location of the Qianmiao Secret Realm."

"After all, with the Nightmare Mark in existence, we Humans will not be subject to any Soul control or Soul Search techniques."

Xie Hui smiled slightly.

Now, every Human Cultivator's Soul defense is extremely powerful.

After all, with the protection of the Nightmare Mark, it is equivalent to everyone's Soul having a protective lock.

If someone attempts to search a Human Soul, they will definitely suffer a backlash from the Dream World.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about Human Cultivators being controlled by Aliens or having their souls searched.

"The power of the Dream World is indeed truly great."

Wu Di also nodded.

He had to admit that after the appearance of the Dream World, it brought huge benefits to the Human Race.

Not to mention the various convenient functions of the Dream World.

The protection of the Human Soul alone is already powerful enough.

One must know that all kinds of strange creatures emerge one after another in the Spirit World, and there are countless methods of possession.

Not to mention the distant ones, just take the Puppet Race familiar to the Human Race; they are experts at possessing Human Souls.

Before the Dream World appeared, the Human Race was often possessed by the Puppet Race, thereby becoming puppets.

This also led to spies often hiding within the Human Race, and it was impossible to find the moles.

But it is different now; let the Puppet Race try to possess someone again, it would definitely leave them battered and bruised, and let them witness the formidable nature of the Dream World.

It can be said that the Dream World shelters every Human Cultivator's Soul, making everyone feel full of security.

Even high-level Cultivators wanting to possess ordinary Humans is completely unfeasible now.

Of course, Humans without a Nightmare Mark are still a bit in danger.

"If you want to leave the Qianmiao Secret Realm and venture deep into the Shattered Star Sea, the City Lord Mansion will not stop you either."

"The City Lord Mansion also very much welcomes Human Cultivators to explore the Shattered Star Sea."

"Previously, there were some bold Human Cultivators who were very curious about the Shattered Star Sea, so they left the Qianmiao Secret Realm in groups to explore deep into the Shattered Star Sea."

"But unfortunately, not long after they left the Qianmiao Secret Realm and left the Mist Sea, they died."

Xie Hui said with great emotion.

If it were before, no one would know whether these departed Cultivators lived or died.

But with the existence of the Dream World, transmitting information is very convenient.

The moment they die, news is transmitted over and becomes known to everyone.

"Dead? How exactly did they die?"

Wu Di was a bit bewildered.

He felt that since they dared to leave the Qianmiao Secret Realm and go deep into the Shattered Star Sea, they must have had some ability.

I didn't expect that they would die so soon after leaving; this is just too fast.

"As for that, their causes of death are all different."

"Some were unlucky and accidentally encountered a gale storm."

"Some encountered Wild Beasts, some encountered Robber Cultivators, and so on; the reasons are varied."

"But generally speaking, it is because they were too weak."

"Even a Refining Void Cultivator cannot guarantee their own safety one hundred percent."

"And more importantly, the Kunpeng Sea Area is very dangerous now, several times more dangerous than before."

Xie Hui's expression was very serious.
