Chapter 528: The Human Race's Multi-Million-Year Grand Plan: Restoring the Spirit Veins of Other Worlds
"Does the Heavenly Dao actually take the initiative to target us?"
"Could it be that the Heavenly Dao also possesses self-will?"
Dai Zonghe was astonished; it was the first time he had ever heard of the existence of a Heavenly Dao will.
It seemed that for the cultivators of the Expeditionary Army, this was already common knowledge.
However, for a novice like him, it was news he had never heard before.
"No, one cannot say it has self-will."
"It should be called the instinct of the world."
"A complete world is much like a normal Human."
"If a Human body encounters an invasion by various viruses, the Human body will produce various defense mechanisms to eliminate the viruses invading the body."
"In fact, the world is the same; if it encounters an invasion by foreign enemies, it will also trigger defense mechanisms. This is not because the Heavenly Dao has wisdom, but purely because the world itself is saving itself."
Hearing this, Dai Zonghe's mind was greatly shaken. He felt that if such a method truly existed, it was simply an open conspiracy, using a grand momentum to crush all schemes and tricks.
"As long as the Spirit Vein is not destroyed, it will always possess infinite vitality and can nurture countless lives."
"It is indeed as you said; our Xuanhuang Sect has long mastered the methods to avoid these tribulations."
Dai Zonghe realized this point. He felt that the Xuanhuang Sect itself was a righteous sect extremely skilled at transforming worlds; they had likely long mastered the method of successfully invading other worlds.
"If one is forced to trigger the previous two taboos, then in order to survive, one can only leave the other world and return to the Xuanhuang World, never to return to this world again for the rest of one's life."
This was also the empirical wisdom of countless Expeditionary Army cultivators; many Human cultivators had fallen victim to this in the past.
"For the world, living beings are actually not the most important thing. Regardless of whether you are an outsider or a local resident, as long as it is beneficial to the development of the world, you will receive the recognition of the Heavenly Dao."
The middle-aged bald cultivator explained.
"Is it that dangerous? If that is the case, how can we avoid these things?"
Even if one is a native of the world, so what? To the world, they are merely one among billions of races.
"You kid are indeed clever, being able to draw inferences and notice this point."
"For the development of a Great Thousand World, the most important thing is the Spirit Vein."
"We outsiders are actually just some foreign viruses to the other world, so naturally, the operation of the world's Heavenly Dao will exclude us."
"However, it is different when dealing with those cultivators who have extraordinary powers. Killing those foreign cultivators, especially those demonic cultivators, actually earns us rewards from the Heavenly Dao of this world, and even Merit is bestowed upon us."
The middle-aged bald cultivator smiled slightly.
Dai Zonghe couldn't help but ask.
"If it comes to that, we, being confused by Heart Demons and Tribulation Qi, would be unable to control our own behavior at all, just like suffering from Qi deviation, and thus seek our own destruction."
Otherwise, one might encounter many tribulations.
It might even require more caution than staying in the Xuanhuang World.
He had originally thought that after coming to another world, he would be able to go on a killing spree, but he hadn't expected that he couldn't do that either.
"Haven't you noticed?"
"Our Xuanhuang Sect is able to invade so many other worlds and still stand firm."
However, even so, the Heavenly Dao is able to silently descend strands of Tribulation Qi upon us. These Tribulation Qi are like Heart Demons, merging into our bodies, making us completely unable to perceive them.
"Once the recognition of the other world's Heavenly Dao is obtained, we will have Merit bestowed upon us, which is equivalent to becoming a native of that world, and we will no longer be deliberately targeted by the other world's Heavenly Dao."
After all, in the beginning, they did not know these secrets, so they frequently encountered tribulations.
The middle-aged bald cultivator said in a deep voice.
"First, you cannot wantonly slaughter mortals, because mortals are the foundation of the world. If you slaughter mortals on a large scale, then the sins will entangle you, and the karma will be incredibly violent."
"Secondly, you cannot destroy the Spirit Veins of the other world, because the Spirit Veins are also the foundation of the world, equivalent to the meridians of a human body. Destroying a Spirit Vein can even trigger a Heavenly Tribulation, and you will be treated as an Outer Realm Heavenly Demon."
"What exactly is the method to achieve this?"
"So if we want to obtain the support of the other world's Heavenly Dao, or even have the other world's Heavenly Dao recognize our existence, then we naturally need to do many things that are beneficial to the other world."
"Therefore, for us living beings of other worlds, if we want to obtain Merit the fastest, it is to help the other world's Heavenly Dao maintain the Spirit Veins, or even raise the grade of the Spirit Veins."
Even the natives of the other world are helpless; after all, even the Heavenly Dao does not stand on their side.
"If successful, then we can also replace the natives of the other world, become a race recognized by the other world's Heavenly Dao, and thus be able to successfully take root."
For the world, the principle is actually very simple: whoever is good for its development, it naturally supports.
"So that's it, but since there is Tribulation Qi, there must naturally be Merit bestowed upon us, right?"
"Replacing the natives, occupying the magpie's nest?!"
Whoever can help its development, the Heavenly Dao naturally supports them.
"After all, our Xuanhuang Sect is not some demonic sect. We come to other worlds to obtain resources and expand our living space, so we naturally hope that the other world can develop better."
"Destroying some mountains, lakes, and other natural landscapes is actually not a big problem. To the world, this is just normal crustal movement; the Spirit Veins are the top priority."
"You probably have also mastered the method to get the other world's Heavenly Dao to recognize us."
"Of course, the Heavenly Dao itself does not have much power. If we do not destroy this world too much, it will not descend a Heavenly Tribulation, nor will it trigger the ultimate means of extermination."
"And we also plant a large number of plants, making the whole world vibrant."
"It just so happens that our Xuanhuang Sect has a unique advantage, which is the Spirit Vein Flower."
The middle-aged bald cultivator did not cover anything up and directly stated the Xuanhuang Sect's trump card.
"Could it be that our Xuanhuang Sect also plants a large number of Spirit Vein Flowers in other worlds? To raise the grade of the other world's Spirit Veins?"
Dai Zonghe instantly understood the method by which the Xuanhuang Sect obtained Merit from the other world's Heavenly Dao.
"It is not just as simple as helping the other world raise the grade of its Spirit Veins, but also helping to repair many Spirit Veins that have been destroyed, allowing the entire Great Thousand World to recover its former vitality."
"After all, the natives of these Great Thousand Worlds, for the sake of their own cultivation, often start wars, destroying regions and Spirit Veins at every turn, making these Spirit Veins impossible to repair."
"Even if the Heavenly Dao of the world descends Heavenly Punishment, it is of no avail, because once a Spirit Vein is destroyed, it can never be repaired again."
"But now, our Xuanhuang Sect has arrived."
"It is just like a brilliant doctor repairing the injuries of an alien world."
"If one asks who the Heavenly Dao of an alien world would support in such a situation, isn't it self-evident?"
The middle-aged bald Cultivator said straightforwardly.
"An open plot; this is the open plot of our Xuanhuang Sect."
Hearing this, Dai Zonghe suddenly realized.
If he were the Heavenly Dao of a world, he would likely support these foreign Cultivators from the Xuanhuang Sect immediately.
Because as native Cultivators, they not only take whatever they want from their own world but also destroy it recklessly.
It is simply: "Heaven creates all things to nourish man, yet man has nothing to repay Heaven."
Basically, they have not made any significant contribution to the world itself.
They are merely pure plunderers.
But now, the Xuanhuang Sect has come to the alien world and employed various means to save it and restore its ecological balance.
Such methods are simply a dimensionality-reduction strike.
Even if the Heavenly Dao of the world lacks wisdom and only possesses instinct, it knows whom to choose to support.
After all, since the Xuanhuang Sect arrived in the alien world, they have only threatened the living space of the natives, not the world itself.
Because the Human Race is different from the demon races and other such evil races; the Human Race lives in peace with the world and develops together with it.
In this way, they will naturally gain the recognition of the Heavenly Dao of the world.
In any case, whether they are outsiders or natives, as long as they can contribute to the development of the world, they will naturally gain the recognition of the Heavenly Dao.
"So now you understand, even if we slaughter the living beings of the alien world, as long as we can maintain the Spirit Veins and the ecological order of the alien world, we will not be rejected by its Heavenly Dao."
"Even as time passes, our Human Race will gain the recognition of the Heavenly Dao of the world, become the protagonists of this heaven and earth, and be able to obtain the Luck protected by the Heavenly Dao of the world."
The middle-aged bald Cultivator said very seriously.
This is also a plan of the Human Race spanning countless years, which cannot be completed in a single day.
"But in this way, we will consume a very long time, won't we?"
Dai Zonghe said.
He felt that this was not a plan that could be completed in a short while, and the length of time required to complete the plan was likely something he would not live to see within his own lifespan.
Unless he could ascend to the Immortal World and become an immortal.
"What of it? Even if it takes tens of thousands of years, millions of years, or even hundreds of millions of years, it is nothing."
"The lifespans of us ordinary Cultivators are short, but the lifespan of the race is endless, continuously extending."
"Remember, the reason our Xuanhuang Sect chooses to invade other Great Thousand Worlds is to expand the living space of the Human Race."
"So there is no need to be so anxious to occupy one complete Great Thousand World after another."
"Even if we really occupied a Great Thousand World, with our current population, we would not be able to occupy so many places."
"It is precisely because of this that we can just take our time."
"This is the multi-billion-year grand plan of our Xuanhuang Sect; it cannot be formed in a single day."
The middle-aged bald Cultivator said earnestly.
The reason they are the vanguard is that they are the first batch of Human Race Cultivators to arrive in the alien world.
It can be said that the main purpose of the vanguard is to build the main city.
Then, explore the humanities, geography, distribution of forces, and other information of the alien world.
As long as they gain a firm foothold, they will be able to slowly devour the entire Great Thousand World.
For the Xuanhuang Sect, there is no rush to occupy the alien world; even if they wiped out the alien forces, they would not have enough population to occupy such a vast area.
"So that's how it is."
Dai Zonghe was filled with admiration; he felt that the Sect Master had a long-term vision, and everything he did was not for short-term gain, but for long-term benefit.
Often, it is such an open plot that can form a grand trend, which the enemy cannot stop.
"What exactly is the background of this Xuanhuang Daoist? His methods are so unfathomable."
"Acting in accordance with the Heavenly Dao, so familiar with the rules of the Heavenly Dao, and skilled at borrowing the power of the Heavenly Dao."
"The purpose of this guy staying in the Mortal World is definitely not as simple as imagined."
"Could it be that he wants to cultivate techniques in the Mortal World?"
"Or perhaps cultivate some special Immortal Technique."
The Immortal Artifact Eye of Dharma-Ending was astonished.
It felt that this Xuanhuang Daoist was becoming increasingly unfathomable; the other party's cultivation might only be that of an Earth Immortal, but his methods were profound and mysterious, such that even Heavenly Immortals and Mysterious Immortals could not compare.
At this moment, it became even more curious and wary of the Xuanhuang Daoist.
It could not imagine that the Human Race had actually given birth to such a figure.
And it was even in the Mortal World.
"Senior, since that is the case, what is our main purpose in going to the Qinghuang World?"
Dai Zonghe realized that their batch of the vanguard arriving in the Qinghuang World was not to occupy a large amount of territory, but merely to guard the main city of the Qinghuang World.
It is estimated that the Xuanhuang Sect did not intend for their batch of the vanguard to do anything major.
"It is very simple; there are two main purposes."
"The first is naturally defense. We are going to the main city of the Qinghuang World to guard it, to prevent alien forces from causing huge destruction to our main city; if we can hold the city, that is considered a success."
"However, with the existence of the True Immortal Array, the existence of us soldiers is at most to maintain public order and fill in the gaps; I estimate we won't need to take action in a real major battle."
"The second is to investigate intelligence. After all, we are not very familiar with the alien world; we don't know how big this world is, what the map looks like, what kind of races will appear, or how the forces are distributed."
"So our main task is to be scouts, responsible for exploring a large amount of useful information and then reporting it up; if we obtain enough information, we can get a large amount of Contribution Points."
The middle-aged bald Cultivator briefly explained the main role of the vanguard, which was to garrison the city and explore intelligence.
Other than that, they do not need to do much else.
After all, the Human Race currently does not have the ability to occupy the entire Qinghuang World.
The goal of the Xuanhuang Sect is to occupy it within a million years, which would be quite good.
Currently, it is merely in the initial stage.
Because the population of the Xuanhuang World is still too sparse compared to the Heavens and Myriad Realms.
It is simply impossible to occupy so many Great Thousand Worlds.
"Not bad, this mission is quite good."
"What I, the Mofa Eye, am best at is gathering intelligence."
"This mission is simply tailor-made for me."
"I told you long ago, heading to an alien world early and leaving the Xuanhuang World is the opportunity for your rise."
The Immortal Artifact Mofa Eye spoke.
"Mm."
Dai Zonghe nodded; he also agreed with this point very much.
Rumble~~
Just at this moment, the Cross-Boundary Teleportation Array activated, and beams of enormous light appeared, seemingly resonating in space with another Great Thousand World at an unknown distance.
Thereby forming a temporary Void Channel.
Boom~~
The next second, a massive amount of Void Force enveloped all the Xuanhuang Sect Cultivators standing within the Teleportation Array, and then they were teleported into the Qinghuang World.
In the blink of an eye, Dai Zonghe and the others discovered that they had arrived at another Great Thousand World.
"Is this the Qinghuang World? Why is the Spirit Qi of heaven and earth so thin?"
Dai Zonghe frowned.
He immediately felt a bit uncomfortable, feeling that the Spirit Qi of heaven and earth in the surroundings was truly too thin.
When he was in the Xuanhuang World before, the Spirit Qi between heaven and earth was so dense that it formed Spirit Liquid, and endless Spirit Qi would surge over to envelop his entire body.
Staying in such a cultivation environment, any Cultivator would make rapid progress.
Of course, for newborns of the Xuanhuang World like them, they had long since become accustomed to it.
Because they were born into such a superior cultivation environment, they did not think it was a big deal.
But after arriving at another Great Thousand World, he noticed the gap immediately.
That is, the Spirit Qi of the Qinghuang World is truly too thin.
It cannot be compared to the Xuanhuang World at all.
"Isn't this a matter of course? How could a mere Qinghuang World be mentioned in the same breath as the Xuanhuang World?"
"That's right, in the entire mortal realm, among the three thousand Great Thousand Worlds, just in terms of Spirit Qi concentration and cultivation environment, our Xuanhuang World is definitely ranked first."
"In terms of foundation, we might not compare to the Earth Immortal World, the Prison Demon World, and the True Spirit World, but when it comes to the rank of Spirit Veins, these Great Thousand Worlds are far inferior to us."
"Actually, the reason for this gap is also very simple, and that is the Spirit Vein Flower. Because our Xuanhuang World has nurtured a large number of Eighth Rank Spirit Vein Flowers, they are almost spread all over the world.
In this way, no matter where we are in the Xuanhuang World, there will be Eighth-Order Spirit Veins, and they are even high-grade Eighth-Order ones; the Spirit Qi is simply dense to the extreme."
"Isn't that so? If it were the central continent of our Xuanhuang World, the Xuanhuang Continent, there are a large number of Immortal Vein Flowers there, which nurture one Immortal Vein after another, thereby causing the entire Xuanhuang Continent to be shrouded in massive Immortal Qi."
"Indeed, that is also the case, so the Xuanhuang Continent is a small Immortal World; Cultivators who practice on the Xuanhuang Continent have a cultivation speed that is simply a thousand miles a day, as if they were practicing in the Immortal World."
"That's right, since you've come to an alien world, don't think about enjoying yourself. We came here to suffer; if you want to enjoy yourself, you shouldn't have joined the Expeditionary Army."
Numerous Cultivators discussed among themselves.
Clearly, they had long since understood some of the specific conditions of alien worlds.
Comparing the cultivation environments, it is still too far behind compared to the Xuanhuang World.
"Little brat, you shouldn't be too ambitious."
"The Spirit Qi concentration of the Xuanhuang World is indeed very high, but you are only a small Foundation Establishment cultivator."
"Even if the Spirit Qi concentration is higher, the amount of Spirit Qi you can absorb daily is fixed; it is impossible to increase it significantly."
"No matter how good the cultivation environment is, it is a waste for you."
"Even a Third-tier Spirit Vein is enough for your cultivation."
"What you lack now is a large amount of Pills and Spirit Medicine."
The Immortal Artifact Mofa Eye said with great disdain.
Hearing this, Dai Zonghe was also speechless; after all, the words of the Immortal Artifact Magic Eye were correct.
He is too weak right now.
No matter how good the cultivation environment is, it cannot infinitely increase his cultivation speed.
"Eh, why does it seem like I can also log into the Dream World in the Qinghuang World?"
Just at this moment, Dai Zonghe said with great surprise; he discovered that he could also log into the Dream World in the Qinghuang World.
He had originally thought that he would be unable to log into the Dream World.
But now he could log in at any time, and he could even sense the existence of the Dream World.
This point is truly incredible.
"Of course you can log into the Dream World."
"What do you think the Dream World is? This is the Immortal Artifact of our Sect Master."
"The power of an Immortal Artifact is incredibly formidable."
"Any world that our Sect Master has been to can log into the Dream World."
"And even across different worlds, the Dream Worlds can all be interconnected."
"In other words, even if we stay in the Qinghuang World, we can still contact our relatives in the Xuanhuang World."
"Basically, we can meet in the Dream World every day."
"Therefore, the Cultivators of the Expeditionary Army staying in other worlds do not feel as if they have left the Xuanhuang World."
"As long as it is off-duty time, they can meet and chat with family and friends."
The middle-aged bald Cultivator smiled slightly.
He felt that this should be common knowledge, yet he did not expect this little one to be unaware of it.
Of course, being able to achieve this is also because Zhou Sui's clones have left Dream Realm Seeds in various major worlds, integrating them into these Great Thousand Worlds, thereby forming individual sub-Dream Worlds.
These sub-Dream Worlds are actually part of the body of the Dream Soul Gu.
Moreover, countless sub-Dream Worlds can also connect to the main Dream World, so they can communicate with each other.
Especially after the Dream Soul Gu advanced to the Heavenly Immortal rank, it could already connect many Dream Worlds.
Therefore, as long as Human Cultivators possess a Dream Realm Seed, they can log into the Dream World at any time and connect to the Dream Worlds of ten thousand realms.
It can be said that this point also greatly facilitates the Expeditionary Army Cultivators of the Xuanhuang World.
After all, they can also contact their relatives and friends remaining in the Xuanhuang World at any time, and will not feel lonely.
"However, the most important thing about the Dream World is still its ability to connect."
"After all, a Great Thousand World is still quite vast."
"If we did not have the power of the Dream World, we would be unable to contact each other as soon as we were a little distance apart."
"But with the existence of the Dream World, no matter how far apart we are, we can transmit messages."
"It can be said that whether it is transmitting intelligence or sending distress signals, it is incomparably convenient."
Many Cultivators sighed with emotion.
They could not imagine how difficult it would be for them after coming to an alien world if they lacked the power of the Dream World; they would likely be like the blind and the deaf, completely unable to transmit news.
"If this is the case, then couldn't we use the power of the Dream World to purchase all kinds of goods?"
"And also be able to perform cross-world delivery?"
Dai Zonghe immediately thought of this point.
After all, the power of the Dream World is not just about transmitting messages; now, the appearance of the Dream World Mall has also facilitated thousands of households.
With the help of the Dream World Mall, countless Cultivators can purchase the goods they desire.
Even without stepping out of their homes, they can buy all kinds of Treasures.
It can be said that this ability is truly too convenient.
"No problem, this is also completely no problem."
"If you purchase goods in the Dream World Mall, they can also be delivered to you."
"Of course, the delivery price is a little more expensive, but it is also completely acceptable."
"Therefore, there is no problem at all with the logistics of our Expeditionary Army."
"We can buy all kinds of supplies at any time."
Many Cultivators said.
"If this is the case, then our Xuanhuang World has basically no possibility of failure when invading other Great Thousand Worlds."
Dai Zonghe was full of confidence.
He felt that his life in the Expeditionary Army would definitely not encounter too many dangers.
He might even be able to take the opportunity to rise up, attain the Dao, ascend, and become an immortal.
