Time moved slightly backward.
“This should be the place. What do you think?”
In the eastern part of Yan Continent, a land embraced by mountains and rivers with excellent feng shui, Wu Ming pointed toward an open area ahead and softly said, “I want to place the future headquarters of the Dongfang family here! You’ve seen the surrounding terrain, right?”
“Hmm, the soil is fertile, and there are several strategically advantageous positions, making it easy to defend and hard to attack. With slight modifications, it would make an excellent base!”
Dongfang Dieyu nodded slowly.
Not only that… the nearby mineral resources are also very abundant, especially a Lingyu mine with considerable reserves. It would greatly aid the selected children in martial cultivation and studying immortal arts!
Dongfang Suoyin added.
“Still, constructing a city large enough to accommodate the Dongfang family, Daughter Cliff, and part of the population is somewhat problematic…”
Dongfang Dieyu frowned.
“As for these matters… leave them to me!”
Wu Ming touched his nose lightly.
He had another sentence he didn’t say out loud. Due to the restoration of the world’s rules, his abilities as a terrestrial immortal were gradually returning. Under his heavenly eye, observing the land’s energy was now a simple task.
The location he had chosen was naturally an excellent convergence point of dragon veins.
If the world’s rules remained stable, this land’s fortune and blessings would be enough to protect the Dongfang family for hundreds of years.
“Earth Monarch, come forth!”
With a point of his finger, the earth cracked open, and the eight-armed Earth Monarch crawled out, its body surging with earth elemental energy.
Even though it had been greatly weakened, the Earth Monarch was still far superior to an ordinary King-class being. Its astonishing aura caused Dongfang Dieyu and Dongfang Suoyin to instinctively step back.
“Immortal Art—Mud to Stone!”
“Ow ow!”
The Earth Monarch roared, its body wrapped in a dense yellow glow before suddenly diving underground.
Boom! Amidst great tremors, the outline of a granite city immediately emerged from the ground.
Thanks to the use of immortal techniques, the entire city wall was seamlessly connected, so tightly that not even a needle could penetrate. The stone quality was top-grade granite, and the defensive strength was thus unimaginable.
Moreover, according to Wu Ming’s plan, the main roads and buildings within the city also surfaced.
“A miracle!”
Dongfang Dieyu grabbed Wu Ming’s arm to prevent herself from stumbling, staring at the emerging city with her mouth agape in an undignified manner: “This is simply miraculous!”
Dongfang Suoyin’s eyes flickered.
She naturally understood even better that even before the Great Cataclysm, a King-class Spirit Tamer specializing in earth element might not necessarily be able to accomplish such a feat, let alone now.
Wu Ming had done this effortlessly, his strength practically unfathomable!
“This is a city of miracles! How about we name the city ‘City of Miracles’?”
She smiled and suddenly proposed this suggestion.
“City of Miracles, huh? Sounds great!” Dongfang Dieyu readily agreed, while Wu Ming had no objections whatsoever.
That night, to celebrate the completion of the new city, the Dongfang family and the female clan held a grand banquet, an exception to their usual customs.
As everyone danced and sang joyfully through the night until dawn, no one noticed that Wu Ming had quietly left at some point.
“Jiu jiu!”
The immortal bird soared into the sky, piercing through the world’s membrane.
“Farewell! Dongfang Dieyu, Dongfang Suoming, the Dongfang family… and the entire world!”
Wu Ming murmured, no longer hiding anything. A stream of fortune surged from above his head, massive as an acre, multicolored and spectacularly impressive.
Such fortune was so dense that it had become almost tangible, visible even to the naked eye of ordinary people.
Buzz!
At that moment, the entire Spirit World trembled.
Streams of green energy rose from all corners of the world, gradually condensing and thickening, turning deep green, then light purple, and finally solidifying into form. Inside, golden stars could be faintly seen shifting.
“The world’s essence?!”
Wu Ming smiled and solemnly said, “I choose to leave!”
He reached out and accepted the essence. At the same time, the fortune above his head rapidly diminished, reducing him in an instant to an ordinary person’s level.
“Let’s go!”
The immortal bird let out a long cry and quickly passed through the world’s membrane.
Boom!
The entire world shook, as if bidding Wu Ming farewell. Back on Yan Continent, reading Wu Ming’s farewell letter, Dongfang Suoyin and Dongfang Dieyu felt a sudden emptiness in their hearts, and tears rolled down their cheeks.
…
Buzz!
Outside the world, beyond lay the vast cosmic chaos.
Startling spatial storms were everywhere, and even a Celestial Immortal would find it difficult to pass freely.
Wu Ming arrived outside the domain. A flash of light enveloped him, a transcendental glow appeared, immediately connecting with the awaiting Main God Temple.
Swoosh!
A Great Luo force acted upon him. When he opened his eyes again, he had already returned to the Main God Temple.
“Several years have passed in the Spirit World, yet not much time has elapsed in the Great Zhou World. This feeling is truly strange…”
He looked at his original self seated on the throne and smiled slowly. The immortal bird, Earth Monarch, and the Evil Wolf emerged as spirit beasts, sealed and stored by the Main God Temple. As for himself, he transformed into a streak of light and instantly merged with his original self.
“Sending out this avatar was indeed a correct decision…”
Wu Ming faintly smiled, holding the purple world essence, and walked to the Yuanli Pool.
After the previous consumption, the Yuanli Pool was nearly depleted. At the bottom, a white cocoon was still being suppressed, faintly revealing the mighty figure of the Creator God inside.
“There’s also this Creator God to be quickly destroyed and its essence extracted. All of this requires activation energy…”
Each world has its essence, but not all are immediately usable. Especially in the case of a Creator God, since it is not unclaimed, it must first undergo a purification process.
In comparison, the Yuanli harvested by the Main God Temple itself and obtained by Wu Ming through legitimate means did not have this issue.
He threw the purple jade pendant into the Yuanli Pool.
[Ding! Detected a large amount of unclaimed world essence, directly usable!]
The vast voice of the Main God Temple rang out.
Immediately, the jade pendant was struck by a white lightning bolt, shattering in the Yuanli Pool and forming many deep purple liquids that quickly filled the bottom of the pool, with the water level continuously rising.
Zila! Zila!
As Yuanli was released, the capacity of the Yuanli Pool also expanded. The entire Main God Temple roared, with every hall glowing with colorful lights.
Finally, when the astonishing transformation stopped, the Yuanli Pool remained the same in appearance as before, but its capacity had greatly increased. The purple liquid filled half of it. With just a slight movement, it emitted astonishing power.
“With sufficient Yuanli, even a Golden Immortal can be directly suppressed and refined…”
Wu Ming smiled faintly, watching the purple ripples on the Yuanli Pool.
Buzz!
The cocoon shattered, revealing the terrified figure of the Creator God.
However, before it could even move, it was bound by countless purple chains. Flames roared, causing it to emit deafening screams.
…
No one knew how long had passed, but the Creator God’s figure had completely vanished, leaving only a bluish ancient jade-like crystal flickering in midair before quickly diving into the Yuanli Pool.
With this addition, the Yuanli Pool surged again, finally stopping when it reached three-quarters of its original capacity.
“Excellent! Indeed, the Creator God carried the essence of another dimensional universe!”
Seeing this, Wu Ming was delighted, a thoughtful expression appearing on his face. He reached out and grabbed a specially reserved trace of essence.
[Ding! Detected information from a different dimension. Do you wish to explore it?]
A flash from the Main God Temple projected a screen of light.
“Intruding recklessly turned into a path guide, huh?”
He smiled faintly: “Not yet!”
They hadn’t even fully explored this universe; rushing to develop other dimensions would be too arrogant.
Wu Ming was a cautious person. He knew exactly what he needed and didn’t need. A humble heart could better resist temptation.
At this moment, he clapped his hands and reviewed the Main God Temple’s general information once more:
[Main God Temple]
[Number of Reincarnators: 1,617!]
[Reincarnator Strength:
Level 1 Reincarnators: 835!
Level 2 Reincarnators: 742!
Level 3 Reincarnators: 38!
Level 4 Reincarnators: 2!]
[Explored Worlds: Star World, Spirit and Ghost World, Fusang World, Spirit World…]
…
[Yuanli Reserve: 37,500 units (Current Yuanli Pool Capacity Limit: 50,000 units)]
[Buildings: Main God Hall, Great Luo Hall, Creation Hall]
[Vaipulya Realm: Great Zhou Journey to the West (Cultivating)]
[Number of Generated Tasks: 1! Reincarnator Executing: 9!]
…
Beside the Main God Temple’s specific information was also Wu Ming’s personal data:
[Name: Wu Ming]
[Cultivation Level: Earth Immortal (Level 5)]
[Blessed Land: Huangting Blessed Land (Partial Main God Space)]
[Equipment: Spirit Beast Garden, Suizhou Pearl, Gluttonous Bag]
[Unique Title: Sovereign]
“Although my avatar has reached the level of a false Celestial Immortal, my original self is still an Earth Immortal…”
Wu Ming touched his chin thoughtfully.
In fact, the Spirit Tamers’ abilities in the Spirit World all came from the enhancement of spirits, not from hard cultivation, so their foundations were shallow.
Moreover, the Spirit World itself was gradually adjusting.
According to his own estimation, if the immortal bird and Earth Monarch continued to stay in the Spirit World, they might even be demoted from their godly ranks. Without the support of these two major spirits, his avatar’s false Celestial Immortal status would be nothing but a joke.
“True strength lies only in oneself, in power that can be absolutely controlled!”
Wu Ming sighed silently.
Currently, manipulating the Main God Temple, as long as there was enough Yuanli, he could almost wield the power of a Great Luo Golden Immortal. But did this mean he had already achieved the status of Great Luo?
“But this time’s harvest is indeed quite good!”
Glancing at the Yuanli Pool reserves, a smile finally appeared on Wu Ming’s face: “With this influx of world energy, the Main God Temple’s majority of functions can finally be activated and operate smoothly!”
As long as this incredible artifact could regain its previous power, how could his chances for advancement be limited?
