Chapter 173: Lu Yun is causing trouble again? The first Human Race trial ground!

Afterward, Lu Yun began to discuss the specific implementation plan together with Nuwa and the others.

The first thing they had to do was to conduct surveys and planning along the route where Lu Yun had previously built cities, in order to determine the most suitable locations for setting up Secret Realms and checkpoints.

Lu Yun naturally handed this task over to Kunpeng.

After all, there was a free Quasi-Saint laborer, and it would be a waste not to use him. Furthermore, Kunpeng had always claimed to have extreme speed, so this task was perfectly suited for him.

Thus, Lu Yun directly transmitted this order to his Literature Dao avatar Lu Wen, and Lu Wen then passed it on to Kunpeng.

Upon learning of this, Kunpeng nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood.

He immediately objected, saying, "Weren't those places already surveyed once before? Why is there a need to survey them again?"

Lu Wen said indifferently, "The purpose of the previous survey was to find locations for building cities; the purpose of this survey is different, so how can they be lumped together?"

Kunpeng: "."

Isn't this just tormenting a Demon? He was ten thousand times unwilling in his heart, but in the end, Lu Wen gave him no chance to refuse at all.

Helpless, Kunpeng could only resign himself to his fate, turn around, and fly toward the distance.

He secretly swore in his heart that once he regained his freedom, he would find a way to kill both Lu Wen and Lu Yun! On the other side, Lu Yun was arranging another task, which was to collect various materials and resources to begin working on creating the checkpoints needed within the Secret Realms.

For this, he needed to have his true self and his other avatars take action.

After finishing his discussion with Nuwa and the others, he immediately took action, having his avatars each take responsibility for collecting a portion of the items, and then they separately returned to their respective previously built cities.

These cities already had a certain scale of the Human Race living in them, and they also had Human Race powerhouses stationed there.

Lu Yun had his avatars return, on one hand, to collect materials nearby, and on the other hand, to teach the method of creating Secret Realm checkpoints to the Human Race, allowing them to participate in this plan as well.

After all, only by letting the Human Race participate can this Proof of Dao Path truly belong to them.

And the facts were just as Lu Yun had anticipated.

When his avatars returned to their respective cities and told the Human Race about the method and significance of creating the Secret Realm checkpoints, it immediately ignited their great enthusiasm.

Although the Human Race was not a hot-blooded and warlike race like the Wu Clan, having lived at the bottom of the Great Desolation for many years, they were equally eager to become stronger and eager to fight.

Although Lu Yun had previously provided them with many cultivation resources and techniques, allowing their strength to be greatly improved, there were not many opportunities for battle.

Now that they heard they were to build Secret Realm checkpoints, they immediately began to roll up their sleeves and were eager to try.

Thus, under the organization and guidance of Lu Yun's avatars, the Human Race in various places quickly took action.

They began to collect materials everywhere and started building the Secret Realm checkpoints according to the methods provided by Lu Yun.

Lu Yun was not idle either; while having his avatars take action across the Primordial World, he discussed the distribution details of the Secret Realms and checkpoints in each city with Nuwa and the others, while also seeking help in the Chat Group, having group members upload many interesting checkpoint designs.

The group members also participated enthusiastically, all of them looking forward to seeing the Primordial Human Race Proof of Dao Path that appeared under their influence.

With the enthusiastic help of the group members, Lu Yun quickly collected a large amount of useful suggestions and assistance.

He began to organize these suggestions and assistance and integrate them into his own plan.

At the same time, he also began to spend points, introducing some special items and skills from the Points Mall into the creation of the Secret Realm checkpoints.

These items and skills were rare objects obtained by the members in the group from different worlds; while not every single one contained powerful strength, they were basically all very useful, especially in being able to exert effects on the Human Race at different levels.

Lu Yun integrating them into the Secret Realm checkpoints would undoubtedly greatly enhance the training effects of the checkpoints.

In order to send these things to the different avatars in various places, Lu Yun could only make Kunpeng toil away once again.

In addition, in order to build the various Secret Realms and checkpoints on this Proof of Dao Path, the progress of Lu Yun's original city construction naturally slowed down as a result.

This news quickly reached the ears of the disciples of the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect, who were also working hard to build cities for the Human Race.

The disciples of the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect were now separated, each responsible for the construction of Human Race cities in one direction.

On the south side of Shouyang Mountain, at the peak of a high mountain.

The Nanji Immortal of the Chan Sect and Guangchengzi stood side by side, their gazes looking out into the distance at the Human Race cities that were rising one after another.

Unlike Lu Yun, who had always intentionally controlled the distance between the cities he built and built them all the way along the direction of Shouyang Mountain, the Chan Sect side basically opened mountains and cleared land wherever the Human Race gathered to build cities.

At this time, these cities dotted the Primordial Land like bright pearls, making it look as if the Human Race had already entered a state of prosperity and flourishing.

The Nanji Immortal stroked his long beard and said with a slight frown, "Guangchengzi, have you heard? That Lu Yun has actually slowed down the speed of building cities; I wonder what kind of tricks he is up to."

Guangchengzi nodded, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes: "That is indeed the case; I am also feeling strange about this matter. Lu Yun has always acted strangely; this sudden change in strategy must have some hidden agenda."

The two looked at each other and saw the doubt and confusion in each other's eyes. They both knew that Lu Yun's style of doing things had always been unfathomable, but every time he could bring surprises, so they had to be on guard.

After pondering for a moment, the Nanji Immortal said, "Perhaps we should report this matter to Uncle-Master Randeng and ask him to make the decision."

Although Randeng was also a person of the Chan Sect, he was not a disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun; after all, he had once listened to lectures in Zixiao Palace together with Yuanshi Tianzun, so they were considered peers, which is why he was the Uncle-Master to all the disciples in the Chan Sect.

Guangchengzi nodded in agreement: "That is exactly what should be done."

Thus, the two turned into streaks of light and flew toward a city where Randeng was responsible for construction.

Not long after, they arrived before Randeng and reported Lu Yun's abnormal behavior in detail.

After listening to the two's report, a trace of doubt also flashed in Randeng's eyes.

After pondering for a moment, he said, "Lu Yun's actions are indeed puzzling, but this may also be our opportunity. The Saint's order to us is to build cities rapidly; you should now pass down the order to have the disciples speed up the construction of the cities; we must take this opportunity to leave Lu Yun behind."

Upon hearing this, the Nanji Immortal and Guangchengzi felt their spirits lift and replied in unison, "Yes!"

Afterward, the two turned into streaks of light and left, conveying Randeng's order to the disciples of the Chan Sect.

At the same time, on the north side of Shouyang Mountain.

The many disciples of the Jie Sect also gathered together to discuss the latest developments regarding Lu Yun.

As the head disciple of the Jie Sect, Duobao Daoren sat in the primary seat with a grave expression. Beside him, Zhao Gongming, the Sanxiao Niangniang, and other elites of the Jie Sect were also present, and everyone's expressions were very serious.

"Everyone, I have just received news that Lu Yun's side has suddenly slowed down the speed of building cities and instead sent people back to the previously built cities; I don't know what they are plotting in secret," Duobao Daoren said in a deep voice. "Regarding this, what are your thoughts?"

Zhao Gongming raised an eyebrow and said coldly, "Lu Yun has always acted deviously; he must have his purpose in doing this. We must absolutely not lower our guard."

Yunxiao also nodded in agreement: "That is indeed the case; if he has some other astonishing move and catches us off guard, that would be troublesome."

Duobao Daoren nodded, expressing his agreement: "Then we cannot sit idly by. Pass down the order to have the disciples maintain the current speed of building cities. At the same time, we must also send people to investigate and see what exactly Lu Yun and the others are up to."

Everyone agreed in unison, then each turned into a streak of light and left, conveying Duobao Daoren's order to the disciples of the Jie Sect.

Among them, after receiving the news, Chang'er Dingguang Xian took the initiative to volunteer to investigate the situation.

In the first Human Race city jointly built by the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect previously.

The Ren Sect's eldest disciple, Xuandu, had just finished his preaching and teaching for this session and also learned of the new developments on Lu Yun's side.

Xuandu knew his mission was to preach to the Human Race and guide them onto the path of cultivation.

Therefore, he did not pay too much attention to the fact that Lu Yun had slowed down the speed of city construction.

He simply left this city and headed toward the next one, preparing to continue his preaching work in an orderly manner and impart Daoist methods to more of the Human Race.

Under his efforts, a group of cultivators who had achieved success began to emerge among the Human Race near Shouyang Mountain.

Although these Human Race experts could not yet compare to the great beings in the Great Desolation, Xuandu felt that given time, they would surely become the backbone of the Human Race.

And the news of Lu Yun slowing down the city construction speed also quickly spread throughout the Great Desolation.

Besides the Chan Sect, the Jie Sect, and the Ren Sect, other forces concerned with the Human Race's movements also sent people to investigate the situation, all wanting to know what kind of tricks Lu Yun was up to.

However, Lu Yun seemed not to care about the existence of these spies; he continued to act according to his own plan.

Under Lu Yun's arrangement, numerous incarnations each led a portion of the Human Race to begin taking action. They built cities while collecting materials and resources, preparing for the creation of the Secret Realm checkpoints.

As time passed, Lu Yun's plan gradually surfaced. Those Great Desolation great beings who came to investigate also began to realize Lu Yun's true purpose.

"This Lu Yun is actually setting up a Trial Land for the Human Race!"

"This is not only providing a place for the Human Race to settle down, but also improving their combat capabilities!"

"A grand gesture indeed, to be building Trial Lands in so many cities at the same time!"

"So that's how it is! My race has long had a Trial Land; there is no need to learn from the Human Race in this regard!"

Kunlun Shan.

Laozi, Yuanshi, and Jieyin, after discerning the purpose of Lu Yun's actions, were not particularly concerned.

Because the disciples under the Three Teachings never lacked trials.

In their view, after opening up numerous cities for the Human Race, they only needed to send disciples to preach and take in apprentices among the Human Race in various places, and then bring them back to Kunlun Mountain to be cultivated using the existing trial methods of the Three Teachings, which would be enough!

Even if the number of people increased later, it would be enough for them to devise some new trial methods on Kunlun Mountain.

Therefore, the Three Pure Ones turned to discuss other matters.

Laozi's mood had been very good recently because Lu Yun had slowed down the construction of cities and turned to busy himself with building Trial Lands, and the Ren Sect's fortune was gradually increasing as Xuandu continued to preach.

Although the increase was not fast, he had a feeling of snatching the fortune back from Lu Yun bit by bit, which made him very pleased.

However, when Xuandu preached to the Human Race, he naturally encountered some problems, such as certain methods of the Way that most of the Human Race could not understand at all. After feeding this back to Laozi, Laozi naturally discussed it with Yuanshi and Tongtian, striving to help Xuandu solve the problems so that his preaching effect would be better.

On this day, the first Human Race city built by Lu Yun—Yuan City, and the first Human Race Trial Land, were completed.

This Trial Land was completed by Lu Wen leading many Human Race experts, and the chosen location was right in the center of Yuan City, upon that huge Thunder Spirit Immortal Wood!

This Thunder Spirit Immortal Wood had great significance for Lu Yun himself, or for the entire Human Race.

The Thunder Spirit Immortal Wood itself also possessed the conditions to become a Trial Land.

Therefore, with the help of the Literature Dao Divine Ability and the cooperation of many Human Race experts, Lu Wen transformed it, and this place also became the first Literature Dao Trial Land for the Human Race!

Because Lu Yun learned that the Trial Land here was completed, he specially brought Nuwa, Houtu, and the sisters Xihe and Changxi back here, preparing to personally experience this Trial Land.

"Respectfully welcome Immortal Master Lu Yun, respectfully welcome the Holy Mother!"

The Human Race in Yuan City were very excited about the return of Lu Yun and the others, cheering and shouting one after another.

"Everyone, there is no need for such formalities!"

Lu Yun, Nuwa, and the others just smiled at everyone and waved in greeting.

Changxi was already a bit impatient and said, "I will go into this Trial Land first to see what the situation is!"

After saying that, she rushed into the entrance under the Thunder Spirit Immortal Wood.

Seeing this, Xihe was also a bit helpless.

Fortunately, this Trial Land was prepared for the Human Race who had not yet become immortals. For Changxi, who was already a Great Luo Golden Immortal, it posed no threat at all, so Xihe did not stop her.

Changxi stepped into the Trial Land under the Thunder Spirit Immortal Wood, and the scene before her eyes changed instantly. She found herself in a deep forest, surrounded by ancient trees towering into the clouds, and the air was filled with a faint scent of thunder elements.

As her footsteps went deeper, the thunder elements in the forest became more and more intense, and small electric arcs jumped on the ground from time to time, making a slight crackling sound. Changxi knew that this was the result of the divine power of the Thunder Spirit Immortal Wood flowing naturally in this space.

Soon, she encountered the first challenge.

A group of small beasts condensed from thunder elements appeared in her line of sight; their eyes flickered with electric light, and their bodies were surrounded by small bolts of lightning.
