I'm in Shrouding the Heavens Practicing Eternal Life

Brutal physique, civilized spirit.

Although Luo Mo had his tools promote education in the Bright Realm, making everyone literate, in a world of cultivation, literacy alone couldn't strengthen their spirit in another way.

Because this spirit could be quantified and was called divine sense.

The popularity of the Bright Light Fist is very fast. After all, every mortal who lands in the Bright Realm will receive a push notification. In more distant places, where the Bright Realm signal doesn't reach, Yaoguang disciples or tools will go to spread the Dharma.

The Yaoguang disciples had studied this martial art and found it wasn't very useful.

Because Luo Mo had removed all the offensive aspects from the Three Thousand Great Dao's physical body realm martial arts, only retaining the characteristics that were convenient for cultivation and popularization, it was of little use to cultivators who had already entered the Covering Heavens method.

But the Human Immortal method was useful to everyone. It was a subsequent version of the Bright Light Fist, a secret technique for horizontal upgrades, but Luo Mo didn't let it bloom everywhere.

Based on the Bright Realm, a new force will be born.

Luo Mo simply ordered that only those who cultivated the Bright Light Fist to the point where they could breathe in the sun, moon, and heaven and earth spiritual energy, and give birth to divine light in their bodies, could go to Wujiang Yuan to study the cultivation method.

Let's talk about the others after the first batch has learned it.

Ye Fan was very enthusiastic about the Human Immortal method. He had always aimed for Luo Mo's ability to fight beyond his level and believed that the Eight Prohibitions were not the highest. He worked hard every day to improve his limits.

With the Human Immortal method, a secret technique that allowed him, who was restricted by the Eight Prohibitions, to enhance his strength, he immediately found many treasures and refined the acupoints one by one.

However, according to Luo Mo's Human Immortal method (Covering Heavens version), the divine patterns cast from blood energy must be refined into furnaces in every acupoint. Even the Ancient Sacred Body's unparalleled blood energy couldn't withstand it!

Li Rui refined three acupoints, Yao Xi refined five, and Wei Wei refined a little more, nine.

Ye Fan refined twenty-three acupoints in one breath. Then, even his Ancient Sacred Body withered, becoming skin and bones, his滔天 blood energy dried up, and there was a divine furnace cast by blood energy divine patterns in each of the twenty-three acupoints.

Who could withstand this consumption?

Helpless, Ye Fan took out all his treasures and frantically purchased various essence blood treasures in the Daluo Realm. He wanted everything that could enhance his Qi and blood.

The older generation of Yaoguang didn't pursue the Human Immortal method too much.

Three hundred and sixty-five large acupoints were enough to make people dizzy, not to mention the total number of twelve thousand nine hundred and sixty acupoints in the whole body. If all of them were cultivated, the Holy Land couldn't bear it.

They just wanted to break through the realm and increase their lifespan. Of course, it would be best to improve their combat power and forbidden domain, but if it was too expensive, they would give up decisively.

The Nine Secrets were enough for them to study.

But Ye Fan was different. He wanted to return to Earth, and there were great demons blocking the way. He had to improve his strength as much as possible. So, during this period, he scattered his assets and bought treasures to enhance his blood energy everywhere.

That posture was really a bit scary.

… …

Wujiang Yuan.

In addition to the medicine fields, cities have also been built, but no walls are set up.

Large tracts of wasteland are being reclaimed. Cultivators are holding new 'agricultural magic weapons' to cultivate, and the efficiency is amazing. With a wave of their hands, the magic weapons become larger, and they can reclaim hundreds of acres of land in a few breaths.

It's not that cultivators are willing to farm, but that they are lured by profit.

After conquering the mortal world and the Yin-Yang Sect, and seizing many divine treasures from the mortal world and the Yin-Yang Sect, the Yaoguang disciples also made a lot of money. At the beginning, no one was willing to take on agricultural tasks.

But can you refuse?

Luo Mo can formulate Yaoguang's tasks and adjust the task rewards. Some things can only be obtained by completing agricultural tasks and are removed from other task rewards.

Want it?

If you want it, come and farm.

Spiritual fields are used to plant medicinal herbs, and ordinary fertile fields are used to plant wheat, rice, vegetables, and other foods needed by mortals.

Thousands of miles of fertile land can be reclaimed by just a few cultivators. These places with little spiritual energy can be considered to be making the most of their resources.

Luo Mo flew into the high sky and looked down at Wujiang Yuan. A picture of Yin-Yang and Five Elements came into view.

The real entrance to the Daluo Realm is Yin, the mountain where he sits in seclusion for a long time is Yang, and the entire Wujiang Yuan is being arranged little by little into a Five Elements Great Array according to his design.

In the future, once the great array is completed, the Azure Emperor Wood Emperor Great Array can transform into spiritual energy like a spring breeze, nurturing all things and increasing the spirituality and yield of vegetation.

The White Emperor Metal Emperor Great Array and the Yellow Emperor Earth Emperor Great Array can gather mineral deposits, and the Black Emperor Water Emperor Great Array controls hydrology, so natural disasters are controlled by people.

Several Supreme Elders are moving the river, and only their divine power can do such a thing. Ordinary disciples can't do it.

Luo Mo has always been fair. Although he didn't give them any extra treasures except for the longevity pills at the beginning, he put Bai Gu Sha Sheng's Dao bones and the many corpses of saints he found at the birthplace of the Arctic Immortal Light in the Yaoguang Realm Treasure Vault on the third floor of the Divine Scar Purple Gold Pagoda.

In the Yaoguang Realm Treasure Vault, Yaoguang disciples can exchange treasures, but they need to accumulate contribution points in the Yaoguang Realm, because the tasks here are more difficult than those in Yaoguang, so only elders and supreme elders can complete them.

Several supreme elders who are old came out to work just to exchange for a piece of saint's Dao bone for research. After all, that is the most essential remains of a saint!

If that doesn't work, exchanging for a remnant corpse or a drop of saint's blood would also be excellent.

Ye Fan didn't ask Luo Mo for this after he found out. The benefits he has received from Luo Mo are already enough. From now on, he will do his best to collect cultivation materials. He can't even rely on his relationship with Luo Mo for the resources to cultivate acupoints, right? That would be too embarrassing.

He is happy to accept what Luo Mo gives him, but now that Luo Mo controls such a large holy land, he naturally won't do things that would cause trouble for Luo Mo.

But the stone workshops in the Holy City were in trouble. Where can Ye Fan go to make money if he has nowhere to go?

Besides looking for source mines outside, he is cutting stones in the stone workshops.

For a time, major stone workshops attracted source art masters of different ages, such as young people, middle-aged people, and old people, all transformed by Ye Fan, frantically ruining major stone workshops, cutting out a pile of treasures, and selling them to the Daluo Realm in exchange for cultivation resources.

Luo Mo set off and walked in Wujiang Yuan to see the breeding farms of those great demons.

In the past, when they cleaned up Wujiang Yuan, some places with abundant spiritual energy were sparsely populated and occupied by some monsters. The best of them cultivated to the Sendai Secret Realm.

But even if they cultivated to the Sendai Secret Realm, they couldn't defeat Yaoguang. When the Yaoguang army arrived, they decisively surrendered.

The reason they were given a chance to surrender was because Luo Mo needed demon beasts.

He obtained a lost beast-controlling secret technique from the Yuhua Divine Dynasty. After accepting the recruitment of a holy land with an Emperor Weapon like Yaoguang, several great demons in the Sendai realm transformed into professional breeders.

Blood food is always one of the hard currencies in the cultivation world. The essence and blood of demon beasts with Taoism are great tonics for cultivators, and Yaoguang is now vigorously developing, so engaging in the breeding industry is very much in line with the needs.

The great demons didn't feel disgusted and didn't regard those demon beasts being bred as the same kind.

Tiger demons breed spirit deer herds, tree demons breed jade rabbits, completely different species. Their breeding farms are adjacent to medicine fields and farmland, occupying areas with abundant spiritual energy and areas with ordinary spiritual energy.

Places with abundant spiritual energy are used to breed some exotic wild beasts, which will be used to extract essence and blood to supply cultivators in the future.

Ordinary places are used to breed some domesticated wild beasts on a large scale, which can be provided to mortal society.

The tasks of several great demons are so simple. They don't need to do it themselves usually. They can just order the little demons below to do it. As long as they can join a holy land with an Emperor Weapon and get protection and enjoy all kinds of resources within the sect, let alone raise them, they can personally hunt them.

After inspecting for a while, Luo Mo went to the Daluo Realm to take a stroll in the virtual world he had built with his own hands.

The transactions here are prosperous, and huge amounts of funds flow every day. After all, cultivators are not afraid of cold and heat and are online for a long time. The number of people who trade here every day can reach hundreds of thousands.

Reclamation, farming, breeding, trade, building cities, building base stations.

Wujiang Yuan is expanding outwards. Yaoguang obtained too many treasures in the war to conquer the mortal world and the Yin-Yang Sect, but even so, it is far inferior to Luo Mo's inventory. He invested huge amounts of funds, and cities rose up in a few days, with a statue erected in the center as a hub connecting the Bright Realm.

It's really too beautiful, this vibrant vitality of all things…

Cough cough.

"Recently, many ancient races have been active. These ancient races are probably going to reappear in the world."

"Who says it isn't? In Beiyuan, there is an ancient race called Divine Spirit Valley. A purple-haired youth came out and slapped a sect master to death with one palm."

"Wow, so powerful? Isn't that as talented as the Yaoguang Holy Son?"

Some cultivators disdainfully said: "At most, he is at the same level as the Central Emperor, Southern Demon, and Northern Emperor. You must know that the Yaoguang Holy Son is a divine forbidden genius who can be compared to a top holy master when he first enters Sendai. Even the Yin-Yang Sect Master was blown up by him."

Someone was unhappy: "That was just because the old Yin-Yang Sect Master was old and his blood was declining, and he was unable to fight. Moreover, he sacrificed himself because he used the Yin-Yang Death Curse. How can it be counted as the Yaoguang Holy Son killing him?"

"Hmph, so many holy masters saw it clearly at the time. It was the Yin-Yang Sect Master who used the Death Curse to exchange his life because he was no match. Do you think everyone is blind?"

"He can fight an old top holy master when he first enters Sendai? I'm afraid he used some magic weapon. I heard that the Yaoguang Holy Son has many treasures."

This person always showed an unbelieving look.

Luo Mo saw through his identity at a glance. He looked somewhat familiar.

Upon careful thought, he realized he had seen this person before, at the previous Yaoguang Grand Banquet, standing behind the older generation figures of the Northern Plains Wang family.

Was he a disciple of the Northern Plains Wang family?

Could it be that he overheard himself being compared to the Northern Emperor Wang Teng by passersby and that's why he said that?

Luo Mo didn't mind; it was human nature. He strolled through the market in the Da Luo World, which had undergone significant changes.

Previously, it consisted of temporary stalls and fixed sales booths used to sell the magical artifacts and pills that Luo Mo mass-produced.

Now, there were also shops. Some people were professional brokers or resellers who needed a fixed location to display their signs.

The Da Luo World undoubtedly met their requirements. They didn't have to worry about revealing their identities, and all sorts of strange creatures were happily engaging in employment and intelligence transactions, even setting up signs and establishing reputations.

These were long-term rentals, which were cheaper and also provided income.

Luo Mo discovered that most people were still using Source for transactions, with only a small portion using Faith Power.

However, this small portion was the main consumer base because they were mostly from major powers with their own territories; otherwise, where would they gather Faith Power?

After all, collecting Faith Power seemed simple, but it required a basic territory.

In some places, mortals were even discouraged from engaging in excessive production activities, spending long hours praying every day to generate Faith Power.

The necessities of life for these mortals were entirely dependent on trade in the Da Luo World.

The land in Wujiang Plain was excellent. In addition to medicinal fields, ordinary fertile fields had long been cultivated to produce grain, and now production was being expanded.

Cultivators could buy large quantities of grain at low prices and then transport it back to their territories through Yaoguang's affordable domain gates, distributing it to the mortals so they wouldn't have to worry about survival and could focus on praying.

They naturally profited from doing this. Those who sold grain profited, and those who focused on collecting Faith Power also profited, all earning Luo Mo's Source.

Most of the Source wouldn't be given to them because they would immediately buy pills and magical artifacts, and high-end pills and magical artifacts were especially expensive. A great sect's annual Faith Power income might only be enough to exchange for a few pills or a few sets of advanced magical artifacts.

Luo Mo exchanged his idle resources for a large amount of Faith Power, while others obtained the pills and magical artifacts they wanted, and the mortals suddenly didn't have to work anymore, receiving grain just by praying.

A wonderful world was thus born.

Luo Mo inquired about the market situation in the grain trading area and felt that large-scale reclamation was feasible. After all, there was too much wasteland on this planet; the area was simply too vast. A small dot on the map could easily represent thousands of miles.

The land in Wujiang Plain alone, if fully cultivated, could supply grain to most of the Southern Region of the Eastern Wilderness.

However, the various holy lands and great sects should also be considering the issue of population growth, so the grain would definitely not be enough. More land would need to be reclaimed.

Luo Mo brought up the map and glanced at it. The vast wilderness spanning hundreds of thousands of miles covered the entire map. The human activity areas were small, although numerous, they were scattered like stars. Uninhabited areas were the majority.

He felt that increasing the human population a hundredfold would not be a problem at all. Too much of this planet was idle. The wilderness was only inhabited by wild beasts, and a single wild beast would occupy a large territory.

This was not good.

He had to think of a way to blast them with a cannon.

Set a small goal: first clear out the Southern Region of the Eastern Wilderness.

Then the entire Eastern Wilderness, then the entire Beidou, and then step into other ancient stars.

Since the universe also had天地元气 (Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy) and various cosmic starlight, technologies like star rings could also be developed.

However, the moon in this world was impossible for mortals to reach. The powerful Lunar Force made even Luo Mo, who cultivated the Lunar Emperor Scripture, feel cold.

He arrived at the core of the Da Luo World, a purple pagoda, where he could make various adjustments to the Da Luo World. There were always workers and Yaoguang disciples here.

When Luo Mo arrived, he didn't see his senior brother Li Rui, but Yao Xi.

"How's the situation recently?"

"All the data is very stable. The trading volume of Faith Power and grain has been increasing in recent months." After following Luo Mo for a while, Yao Xi's way of speaking had also become more Earth-like.

"Where's senior brother? Isn't he usually the one watching over this place?"

"It's all because of you." Yao Xi glared at Luo Mo. "Your cultivation is improving so quickly, capable of fighting top-tier Holy Lords. Senior brother is only at the sixth transformation of the Dragon Transformation Realm. Now he's dumped the stall on me and gone back to cultivate."

Yao Xi was actually quite happy because she liked to control power.

"Then thank you for your hard work. Regarding future planning, the main focus is still on collecting Faith Power."

"Then we'll have to do the grain market ourselves. It's constantly expanding. We can produce and sell grain ourselves to reduce costs."

Although the cost wasn't worth much to Luo Mo, it was a part that Yao Xi needed to calculate. The pills and magical artifacts that Luo Mo threw out to buy Faith Power were pure Source in the eyes of others!

Every expenditure Luo Mo made to purchase Faith Power would make those who saw it cry out in pain, as if a kidney had been cut out.

"That's what I was thinking too. We can reclaim all the sparsely populated areas in the entire Southern Region of the Eastern Wilderness. I'll take out three flawless Saint Weapons and the contribution points of the third level to get all the elders in the sect moving."

Didn't they want Saint blood, Saint corpses, and Saint Dao bones?

Now the opportunity to earn contributions had come. Go reclaim the land! Reclaiming the land would provide enough third-level contributions to exchange for Saint bones, even without having to pool resources with others, allowing them to exchange for a piece to study on their own.

Yao Xi chuckled, "The Supreme Elders are all getting old; you're going to make them work hard."

"Help them rejuvenate their youth and vitality. It's useless to always cultivate in seclusion in their caves. Coming out to move around might help them break through."

Driven by self-interest, those Supreme Elders who were one or two thousand years old would all unleash even stronger action than young people. After all, the wild beasts were fierce, and there were many凶兽 (ferocious beasts) in the Saint Transformation Realm, and only they could suppress them.

"Have you refined the Arctic Immortal Light I gave you last time?"

"We've all refined it," Yao Xi said, then suppressed a smile, "Except for senior brother Li Rui."

After returning from attacking the Yin-Yang Holy Land, Luo Mo had given them each a strand of Arctic Immortal Light to refine as a trump card to defend their Primordial Spirits.

But this kind of thing wasn't easy to refine; usually, only Saint Transformation cultivators could do it.

Wei Wei was already a Saint Transformation, and Yao Xi had received a special inheritance in the cultivation of her divine sense, giving her some advantages. Ye Fan had also eaten divine fruits to strengthen his divine sense.

Therefore, the only one lagging behind was Li Rui.

Luo Mo then used his divine sense to communicate with the Divine Imprint Purple Gold Pagoda and said, "I've put twenty strands of Arctic Immortal Light on the fourth floor. You and Wei Wei should hurry up and refine them. The future... may not be peaceful."

"Is something going to happen?" Yao Xi quickly asked.

"The ancient races are emerging, which may cause—" Luo Mo pondered for a moment, then said, "Some ripples."

Yes, some ripples.

Speaking of which, could those ancient races be farmed?

Did they have any nutritional value?

It should be possible. He could try it if they were arrogant.

"Which ancient races will emerge?" Yao Xi asked. Many of Yaoguang's intelligence were not as good as Luo Mo's.

"After a while, all the ancient races will emerge, and there will definitely be conflicts over resource allocation."

If conflicts arose, they could only be resolved through strength.

"I understand."

Yao Xi also understood the seriousness of the problem. Beidou was large, but the rich areas were limited, especially the Source mines, and Yaoguang now had quite a few Source mines.

If all the ancient races emerged, the Source mine structure in the Northern Region would likely undergo a major reshuffle, which would inevitably lead to major turmoil. In this situation, they had to have strong strength to better protect themselves.

"I'm going to the demon race to contact them. It's a waste of their population base if the demon race doesn't trade."

Luo Mo looked at the transaction list and found that the demon race, who had a grudge against them, had no Faith Power transactions. This was not acceptable.

"You... be careful."

Yao Xi originally wanted to advise Luo Mo not to go to the demon race, after all, the grudges between him and the demon race were quite deep.

But this man had always been steady in his actions, and he could even kill Saints. He must have his calculations.

"Okay."

Luo Mo didn't say much and exited the Da Luo World.

His speed was extremely fast, turning into a streak of light and flying above the nine heavens, heading to the demon race.

He hadn't been to the demon race for a long time. Even when he did come, he used to send an avatar to perfunctorily show his face.

At this moment, he transformed into Xiao Yan, descended from the sky, and put on this disguise again.

The chariot made of Nine Heavens Divine Jade carried him all the way into the Demon God Palace. The surrounding demons watched with sidelong glances because Xiao Yan was their Divine Son, and this time his cultivation seemed to have become much stronger.

The reasoning of the demon race was relatively simple, which was that of the fist. Whoever had strong strength could receive respect.

Luo Mo drove the magical treasure chariot made of Nine Heavens Divine Jade into the Demon God Palace, the demonic aura awe-inspiring, giving people the pressure as if a demon race great power had arrived, the aura unscrupulously sweeping across the sky.

"He's finally back!"

A sharp-spirited, golden-haired man revealed excitement in his eyes. Seeing Xiao Yan's figure driving the chariot across the sky, he immediately followed.
