My construction materials are weird

“Bang, bang, bang—”

Xuan Huang patted Jianmu: “Next, it's up to you. As the saying goes, 'raising soldiers for a thousand days, using them for a moment,' don't drop the ball.”

“Rustle, whoosh—”

Jianmu responded: Please rest assured.

The refinement of intent through life and death requires the shattering of one's will, essentially the self-destruction of one's own will, allowing it to be reborn from the fragmentation.

The danger of shattering one's will is self-evident.

Everything Xuan Huang currently possesses is built upon the pressure of his will.

If he were to shatter, Xuan Huang would be tantamount to self-destruction.

The cultivators, spiritual plants, spiritual beasts, and so on, suppressed by his will, would also collapse, distort, and lose control in an instant.

The refinement of intent through life and death involves five life-and-death experiences, with the first being the most dangerous.

This is because the first time requires shattering ninety percent of one's will, leaving only ten percent dormant to suppress everything.

The second refinement of intent through life and death involves shattering eighty percent of one's will, the third seventy percent, the fourth sixty percent, and the fifth fifty percent.

Each time less is shattered because the will becomes stronger with each iteration. Shattering and then fusing with innate spiritual intent is the transformation from acquired will to innate will.

Five times of shattering the will not only strengthens and refines the will but also represents another transformation from acquired to innate.

The refinement of intent through life and death is also called the Yin-Yang Five Elements Refinement of Intent through Life and Death.

The ten percent of will left behind the first time represents 'one,' while the ninety percent that is shattered, refined, strengthened, and transformed then merges with the dormant ten percent, delineating the Yin-Yang change of 'one begets two.'

Only with the emergence of Yin and Yang can there be Jia wood and Yi wood, Gui water and Ren water, Bing fire and Ding fire, Geng metal and Xin metal, Wu earth and Ji earth.

The Yin Five Elements are the Divine Palaces, and the Yang Five Elements are the Lords of the Divine Palaces.

Therefore, the first Yin-Yang Five Elements Refinement of Intent through Life and Death is crucial, requiring the separation of Yin and Yang.

However, it would be difficult to delineate Yin and Yang in that way. The second stage is the profound understanding of Yin and Yang; a rudimentary understanding is still an understanding, and it also carries the meaning of opening up Yin and Yang.

Therefore, if one doesn't take an extreme approach in the second stage and chooses to slowly explore and comprehend the opposition of Yin and Yang, it will become increasingly difficult later on.

The best way is to open up the Yin-Yang passage in the first step and then solidify it with further cultivation.

With so much foundation and luck, it would be too unlike Xuan Huang to be timid and hesitant.

Moreover, this saves time, and the will will transform faster.

After deciding.

Xuan Huang integrated ten percent of his will into Jianmu, serving as a dormant suppressing force, while also allowing it to be stained with Jianmu's mysterious life-and-death transformations.

The remaining ninety percent of his will entered his lower dantian qi sea.

Then, it all fused into the golden qi sea, merging with every drop of seawater.

Everything was ready.

“Shatter!”

As a sound of great soundlessness reverberated.

“Buzz!”

Whether it was Green Cloud Mountain, the secret realms at each Green Cloud Boat station within the Dream Gate, or the Gui Ruins Small World, even the cultivators and the Xuan Huang Dao Lord Divine Hall, all entities suppressed by Xuan Huang's will trembled slightly.

This change directly awakened all living beings existing under the suppression of Xuan Huang's will.

“What's going on?”

“What happened?”

“The Dao Lord's divine statue seems to be flickering, and its spirituality has subsided?”

“Did you feel the tremor just now?”

Regardless of where or when, all entities suppressed by Xuan Huang's will experienced a slight tremor at the moment Xuan Huang self-shattered ninety percent of his will.

However, it quickly stabilized, and those who were not careful might not have noticed it.

This demonstrates Xuan Huang's monstrous foundation and accumulation; ten percent of his will is enough to suppress everything.

After all, even ten percent is still a second-stage will, undiminished in essence; only the quantity is reduced.

On the Green Cloud Boat.

Liu Wenhe, who was piloting the Green Cloud Boat, was traveling through the subspace mist. They felt the tremor just now very strongly.

After all, the Green Cloud Boat is an entity suppressed by Xuan Huang's will, including the formations and sky pillars in the bottom hold.

The three first-stage Xuan Transformation experts on the flying boat were also present, and they felt it even more deeply than the entering-stage cultivators.

Yan Lai and the other two clearly felt a flicker in their dantian suppressions, showing a trace of instability, but it immediately returned to normal.

“I heard that Xuan Shi specifically instructed us and then went into seclusion. Before secluding, he also subdued the millstone anomaly?” Yan Lai said.

“Of the world's seven great secret lands, Xuan Shi alone guards one. The millstone is the connection to Gui Ruins. The methods of Refining Spirit cultivators are actually rooted in Gui Ruins. Perhaps some of the speculations of those spirit masters online are true.”

Ming Hui chanted a Buddhist invocation softly and said.

They would be fools if they couldn't see it.

Lan Xinyuan could have speculations, let alone them, especially Ming Hui with his Refining Spirit method, 'Nine Seals of Gui Ruins.'

It must have been created by Xuan Shi after comprehending Gui Ruins.

It's just that they don't believe Xuan Shi obtained opportunities from Gui Ruins.

Because there is also the Reincarnation of Jianmu, the True Dharma, and the Good Fortune Origin of the Body Refinement Furnace Nine Refinements.

One Gui Ruins method could be said to be an opportunity Xuan Shi obtained from Gui Ruins, but what about the Reincarnation of Qi Refining and the Good Fortune of Body Refinement?

Therefore, they do not believe Xuan Shi obtained opportunities from Gui Ruins.

“Xuan Shi has gone into seclusion?”

“The fluctuations just now must be Xuan Shi undergoing a breakthrough? A second-stage breakthrough!”

Jiu Tong said with a wry smile.

His own three first-stage Visualization Charts haven't been comprehended yet, and Xuan Shi is about to advance again?

And it's the advancement of his own created method, not like the simple, simple advancement of the three of them… not creating a method, not refining a method, just merging methods.

“I'll go into seclusion when I get back. This old Daoist won't come out until I've fully comprehended the Xuan Transformation stage Visualization Chart.” Jiu Tong made up his mind.

The three of them never expected that Xuan Huang's breakthrough this time would be such a perilous breakthrough.

They have too much trust in Xuan Huang, trust that is hard to describe.

Whatever Xuan Huang does, they believe he will surely succeed, so they didn't pay attention to the momentary flicker.

Also, who would care?

The Xuan Shi in the eyes of all beings is omnipotent, powerful, and invincible. How could there be accidents?

Completely impossible.

In less than a year, Xuan Huang has planted the symbol of invincibility in the hearts of cultivators.

The cultivators continued to do what they were doing, not hindering their journey because of Xuan Huang's Refinement of Intent through Life and Death.

They merely felt that Xuan Shi was about to advance again, and they shared in the glory.

They even used Xuan Shi's advancement to urge themselves. Xuan Shi is already invincible, yet he is still diligently cultivating his will. What do they have to be proud of?

Now back to Xuan Huang.

With a sound of shattering, he self-shattered ninety percent of his will.

In an instant, he weakened to the extreme.

Then, the will, shattered into light spots, scattered into the qi sea.

At this moment, Xuan Huang is equivalent to being in the deepest seclusion. Except for life-and-death crises, the dormant ten percent of his will will only operate according to regulations and will not actively awaken.

After the scattered, shattered will merged into the qi sea, the qi sea operated rhythmically, absorbing the power of heaven and earth, then the second-stage refined fire melted it, forming floating innate qi, which was then absorbed by Jianmu's roots.

Xuan Huang's will was also within it, merging into the qi sea, transforming into innate qi, and then being absorbed, circulating in this way… …

Until the shattered will is completely transformed, integrated into the innate spiritual machine, and metamorphosed into innate spiritual intent.

Xuan Huang felt that this process would take a very long time.

Fortunately, his twelve heavenly pillars in the Qi Sea absorbed the power of heaven and earth quickly, and the transformation of the Qi Sea was also fast.

If it weren't for such a deep foundation, the transformation alone would take a long time, let alone being absorbed by the Jianmu and undergoing the transformation of life and death to become the innate spiritual machine.

All the layouts and accumulations of the previous first level were realized at this moment.

A week passed like this.

Qingyun Mountain.

The cultivators who took the Qingyun Boat for one cycle had already returned three days ago.

They were greeted with cheers from the entire Qingyun Mountain's cultivators. The route was officially opened. Not to mention the distant places, the entire Haidai area and the surrounding four provinces near Haidai were already within the cultivators' journey.

After returning, Sun Tong, according to Xuan Huang's instructions, summoned the four major forces and the eight minor forces, emphasizing Xuan Shi's importance to the route stations.

Without a single mistake, every word, every start, every content, must be checked carefully!

He needed the twelve forces to work hard to develop, and the Xuan Huang Temple should keep up as soon as possible. Wherever there are cultivators, there must be a Dao Lord Temple in the future.

In addition, the thirteen newly added urban areas also need to be reorganized, especially the new officials, who need to come up with solutions as soon as possible to achieve the same environment as Nanshi as soon as possible.

If there are spirit masters who obstruct for no reason, try to dissuade and mediate as much as possible.

But if the spirit masters are stubborn, then they can only be beheaded on the spot.

With the instructions from the headquarters and the Daiyue headquarters, if there are still spirit masters who are blinded by their own interests, stubbornly obstructing and destroying, then there is nothing to say.

Conquest and expansion will inevitably involve killing. Peaceful development is impossible.

These spirit masters who are beheaded must be those who are out of control or severely invaded by the strange.

Just announce it to the public like this.

The righteousness must also be occupied.

After all, if you are not going to lose control, why are you obstructing me from protecting ordinary people?

You must be severely eroded by the strange and about to lose control.

Because 'good spirit masters' will welcome us. Spirit masters are also guardians of the human world, so they naturally like us, who are also guardians of the human world.

Those who don't like us are all going to lose control.

Sun Tong hinted so clearly, and the leaders of the four major and eight minor forces nodded to show that they understood.

"This is not only Xuan Shi's meaning, but also Minister Bi Xia and Dragon Master's meaning. You must let go of the burden in your hearts. Our beheading of individual scum is for better protection. This point must be clear," Sun Tong said finally.

"We understand."

The leaders of the four major and eight minor forces all expressed 'true understanding'. We are very well-behaved in Qingyun Mountain, but we are wild outside.

"In addition, Xuan Shi doesn't care if you want to establish your own Buddhist statues or anything, but it must be a win-win situation, understand?"

After Sun Tong finished speaking, he glanced unintentionally at Master Jinguang.

The four major leaders went into seclusion after returning. This time, the four deputies attended the meeting: Jinguang of Buddhism, Meng Qiao of Confucianism, Jiu Da of Taoism, and Gao Jian of the Martial Arts Alliance.

"Please rest assured, Chief Manager Sun, we will definitely follow the Qingyun Mountain Conferred God Regulations as a template, and will not recklessly harvest like the Demonic Path. Moreover, our first mandatory requirement for each temple is that there must be a Dao Lord's divine seat and a demon-subduing spirit beast divine seat under the Dao Lord's seat."

Jiu Da hurriedly stood up to express his feelings.

After speaking, he added: "Our Buddhist sect has the same plan as the Confucian sect, Taoist sect, and Martial Arts Alliance, and will never mess around."

This turning point instantly dragged the other three families into the water.

The other three families also have their own Conferred God plans.

The Martial Arts Alliance screens the great generals of all dynasties, insisting that they are warriors. In short, they are all famous generals with great reputations.

The Taoist and Confucian sects are simple. There are too many sages and saints in the sect.

"We also follow the Conferred God Regulations. All non-compliant evil gods and lewd shrines will be resolutely overthrown, and no statues will be erected for them to gather incense."

"We also follow the regulations."

"We are the same."

The three family leaders glared at Jinguang fiercely.

Jinguang indicated that he did not see it.

"It's good that you understand. The fourth level is the beginning of the birth of divinity. Xuan Shi's Conferred God Regulations are very clear, right?"

Sun Tong was satisfied with the four families' answers, but still had to emphasize it.

After all, this Conferred God is really dangerous.

Jiu Da said: "I have read it. If spirituality is born, there will inevitably be a distortion of Heaven's will to attack. If you can't get through it, you will lose control. There is also the invasion of the true meaning of the rules. If you can't get through it, you will become strange.

We will not let them give birth to spirituality. We will definitely carefully screen them and only use the power of thought items blessed by faith, and will not give birth to spirituality to gods and Buddhas."

They are very clear about the horror of the birth of spirituality.

Even if there is a Dao Lord's statue in each temple, the Dao Lord's statue must be the first existence to give birth to spirituality.

Because only when the Dao Lord's statue gives birth to spirituality can it become the suppression of all the statues in the entire temple.

When the Dao Lord's statue gives birth to spirituality, the methods used by believers are to absorb faith or be granted spells.

But the cultivators have more methods. Naturally, no one dares to touch the Dao Lord's faith.

But the other statues are jars for storing faith. Once the faith reaches a certain level, it will be harvested for other purposes.

It belongs to deceiving the ancestors and destroying the sect.

Treating the ancestors, immortals, and gods as leeks.

But it is impossible not to do so. You can't really let the statues give birth to spirituality, right?

That would be dangerous. The Dao Lord's statue has the Dao Lord to suppress it, but these statues don't.

So, not everyone can do the Conferred God.

Currently, Qingyun Mountain only allows these four to do so, and they can confer gods.

The other eight new forces cannot, because it is too dangerous and their abilities cannot reach it.

That is to say, there must be indicators for conferring gods.

"Okay, after talking about the Conferred God, there is one more thing that needs to be discussed…"

As he said, Sun Tong clapped his hands, and a strong man in animal skin and a thin old man in animal skin walked in.

It was Jiuli and the Great Priest from the ancient world, the only two members of the small world who have not joined the Small World Alliance.

They were very eccentric before, so no one paid attention to them.

Although they figured out the mechanism of Qingyun Mountain and began to intentionally contact the Qingyun Mountain cultivators, wanting to establish contact.

Unfortunately, the effect was minimal. Perhaps the coldness and weirdness of the first contact made everyone feel unhappy and wary.

So when they wanted to take the initiative to contact the Qingyun Mountain cultivators, everyone ignored them.

They didn't even join the Small World Alliance, for fear of being rejected, or there may be other reasons.

Seeing the two people coming in, the twelve leaders present were very surprised.

They didn't understand what this was for?

Could it be that their forces didn't like contacting these indigenous savages, making them feel discriminated against, and they sued them?

That can't be, right?
