Pioneering Grand Plan

The great plan of pioneering could finally begin.

At this moment, a majestic Saintly Might erupted from the end of the world. Yuanshi appeared, followed by his personal disciples, including the Twelve Golden Immortals.

"Tongtian, has the Intercepting Sect truly fallen to this point?"

"You intend to lead the disciples of the Intercepting Sect to pioneer here?"

"I, for one, am unaware of anything worth cultivating at the edge of the East Sea."

Yuanshi spoke with a smile, his tone laced with mockery.

What was there to cultivate at the edge of the East Sea?

Could it be that they intended to explore the chaotic energies there?

Or perhaps they foolishly dreamt of breaching the barriers of the Primordial World?

It was simply laughable—even the Six Saints working together couldn't achieve such a feat, let alone the mere Intercepting Sect.

Guang Chengzi looked at Daoist Duobao and the others, chuckling, "I never imagined the disciples of the Intercepting Sect had fallen so low!"

"Could it be that you're trying to earn some Merit by pioneering to subsidize the Intercepting Sect?"

Daoist Duobao, Wu Dang, and the other disciples were enraged by this.

The people of the Heavenly Origin Sect were truly detestable!

They had come all this way just to mock them.

Zhao Gongming said coldly, "The disciples of the Heavenly Origin Sect are so arrogant. Do you dare to spar with us?"

Guang Chengzi and the others fell silent.

With their small numbers, how could the Heavenly Origin Sect possibly contend with the ten thousand immortals of the Intercepting Sect?

Naturally, they dared not accept the challenge.

Rumble!

A spatial passageway spanning the void appeared. Jieyin and Zhunti stepped out from it, waves of Saintly Might emanating from them.

Jieyin said with a chuckle, "Senior Brother Tongtian, leading the Intercepting Sect with such grandeur to the edge of the East Sea, what business do you have here?"

Zhunti added, "We are all fellow disciples. If there is any good fortune, Senior Brother, don't forget about us!"

Both of them suspected that the Intercepting Sect's grand pioneering expedition must hold some secret, so after perfecting their own worlds, they had rushed over.

Tongtian said calmly, "You will know soon enough."

He did not directly inform the Saints. Yuanshi had dared to mock him just now, but when the truth was revealed, he would surely envy him!

Boom!

Tongtian made his move, unfolding the Heaven-Opening Profound Scripture.

Mysterious energies transformed into countless wondrous rhymes, spreading outwards, touching the chaotic energies beyond the Primordial World's barrier.

Yuanshi and the Two Saints of the West watched intently, unsure of Tongtian's intentions.

The next moment, all three were astonished—

The chaotic energies beyond the Primordial World's barrier had actually transformed into the power of the Great Dao!

Yuanshi's eyes widened in disbelief.

My heavens!

What kind of Spiritual Power was this?!

To be able to transform chaotic energies into the power of the Great Dao?

Could it be that Tongtian's so-called pioneering was this kind of pioneering?!

Jieyin and Zhunti were also stunned. Where had Tongtian obtained such a profound method?

Transforming chaotic energies into the power of the Great Dao!

This was simply impossible!

Tongtian slowly unleashed his great divine ability, transforming all the chaotic energies into the power of the Great Dao.

The expressions of the Saints changed.

They sensed that as the power of the Great Dao grew stronger, the barrier of the Primordial World seemed to have extended outwards by a sliver.

Although it was extremely subtle, imperceptible to ordinary people.

But they were all Saints, and they could clearly sense it.

The barrier of the Primordial World had indeed been expanded!

Rumble!

Two spatial passageways suddenly appeared, and Laozi and Nuwa emerged one after another.

Helpless.

They could no longer sit still.

Expanding the Primordial World's barriers, something even Saints could not achieve, was accomplished by Tongtian through a profound and mysterious method.

This was truly astonishing.

Purple Firmament Palace.

Hongjun was also immensely shocked.

Impossible!

This completely surpassed his understanding. How could Tongtian possess such a mystical method?!

Transforming chaotic energy into Great Dao energy was something even Heavenly Dao energy could not accomplish!

What was Tongtian's intention in doing this?!

The End of the East Sea.

Watching the astonished expressions of the assembled Saints, Tongtian sneered inwardly.

You all mocked me before!

Now none of you can laugh anymore, can you?!

"Go!"

He let out a low command.

Instantly, countless disciples of the Intercepting Sect ** responded in unison, simultaneously activating the Heaven-Opening Profound Scripture.

Their aura was majestic, their pressure overwhelming the world.

Vast chaotic energy surged, all transforming into Great Dao energy.

Everyone united, working towards a single goal.

Yuanshi and the other Saints were even more shaken upon witnessing this.

The speed had increased again!

With so many disciples of the Intercepting Sect ** simultaneously channeling such an supreme method as the Heaven-Opening Profound Scripture, the expansion speed of the Primordial World's barriers had increased once more.

"Tongtian! What exactly are you trying to do?!"

"What is the purpose of expanding the world's barriers like this?"

Yuanshi questioned sternly.

Even if he were slower to realize, he had perceived Tongtian's deception.

Laozi also spoke, "Tongtian, what is the meaning of this action?"

Tongtian smiled indifferently, "Just reclaiming land."

"Can't you all see it?"

After speaking, a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.

The Saints were stunned for a moment.

Reclaiming land?!

You call this reclaiming land?!

Reclaiming land should involve clearing weeds and leveling the ground; how could it possibly be such a world-shattering expansion of the world's barriers?

Your understanding of the term "reclaiming land"

is likely greatly mistaken!

The End of the East Sea.

Upon hearing Tongtian's words, all the Saints felt bewildered.

Reclaiming land?!

You actually call this reclaiming land?!

Absurd!

This was not reclaiming land at all; it was clearly an act that shook the very foundations of the Primordial World!

Meanwhile, in Wuji Heaven.

Lu Changqing was intently haggling with the System.

His meticulously planned great undertaking of reclaiming land naturally required extracting more Merit from the System. Only by doing so could he deplete this vast sum as quickly as possible!

"System, is it unreasonable to ask for ten thousand Merit for reclaiming one mu of land?"

"This is the barrier of the Primordial World!"

"This amount of Merit is truly not much!"

Lu Changqing said, while secretly calculating.

One mu costs ten thousand Merit. If a hundred million people participate in wasteland reclamation, and each person reclaims one mu per year, then one trillion Merit will be consumed in a year!

If this continues, won't it be as easy as pie to deplete hundreds of trillions of Merit?

System: "No!"

"Because there are methods to assist, the difficulty of wasteland reclamation is far lower than world creation."

"Ten thousand Merit is far beyond its value!"

Lu Changqing sat upright on his throne, his expression solemn. "Ten thousand won't do?"

"Then eight thousand should be acceptable!"

System: "Still too high."

Lu Changqing was helpless. "Five thousand?"

System: "Still not acceptable."

Even five thousand wouldn't do?

This darn System has indeed become more troublesome after upgrading.

It's determined to go head-to-head with me!

This is simply absurd!

"One thousand!"

"One mu for one thousand Merit should be acceptable, right?"

Lu Changqing said in a deep voice.

One mu for one thousand Merit, if a hundred million people reclaimed land, it would still consume a considerable amount.

It was barely acceptable.

System: "Still not acceptable."

Even one thousand wouldn't do?

Lu Changqing could no longer stand it and directly said, "Then you name a price!"

System: "Five Merit per mu."

"That is reasonable."

**!

Five Merit?

Even Zhou Bapi isn't as ruthless as you!

This is simply the epitome of greed.

If calculated at five Merit per mu, when would his vast amount of Merit ever be depleted?

Lu Changqing decisively refused. "No!"

"It's too low!"

"You're forcing me to be a heartless boss!"

The System was speechless and stated directly, "Don't try to play dumb; you're exploiting loopholes."

Lu Changqing simply said, "Final offer, ten Merit!"

"No room for negotiation!"

The System reluctantly had to compromise.

Lu Changqing calculated in his mind: ten Merit per mu. With the cultivation of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, one can reclaim a hundred thousand mu in a thousand years, which amounts to one million Merit.

However, Grand Unity Golden Immortals are rare after all.

More importantly, the number of beings below the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm is vast.

If a hundred million people participate, and each reclaims a thousand mu in a thousand years, that's a hundred billion Merit!

If a billion people participate, that's a trillion!

Most importantly, the threshold for wasteland reclamation is far lower than for world creation, so ten Merit per mu is still acceptable.

At the edge of the East Sea.

Before the world barrier.

One hundred thousand Intercepting Sect disciples jointly cast a spell.

The Heaven-Opening Profound Scripture evolved into endless profound mysteries, and chaotic energy surged, all transforming into the power of the Great Dao.

The world barrier continuously pushed outward.

Saint Tongtian led one hundred thousand disciples in reclaiming land. In less than a year, they had already reclaimed over ten thousand mu.

All the Saints watched from the void, sensing the changes in the Primordial World.

My heart was filled with shock.

Heavens!

What kind of technique is this!

To be able to expand the Primordial World so rapidly!

At this rate, the Primordial World will become even vaster.

But why are they opening up worlds for no reason?

As I was contemplating, a patch of golden light suddenly appeared in the sky.

Vast Merit poured down!

The entire world was dyed gold.

The next moment, the golden torrent dispersed, falling into the bodies of every Intercepting Sect disciple.

Upon seeing this, Saints like Laozi could no longer sit still.

"What!"

"They can gain Merit like this too?"

"Is pioneering new land so rewarding?"

"I knew the Intercepting Sect wouldn't make such a big fuss for nothing,"

"So it was for Merit."

"This amount of Merit is no less than that gained from creating a world!"

Jieyin sighed faintly.

What concerned him even more was that technique—the Intercepting Sect disciples, who hadn't even reached Grand Unity Golden Immortal, could use it to pioneer new lands.

This is a heaven-sent opportunity for beings who cannot create worlds!

At this moment, three spatial tunnels suddenly appeared in the sky and earth.

The next moment, purple energy descended, and auspicious light filled the sky.

East King Duke, Ran Deng, and Kunpeng descended from the sky.

Their auras were magnificent.

Rumble!

Brilliant golden light descended from the sky, and nine golden dragons of Merit roared and soared.

Their might surpassed even Yuanshi's Nine Dragon Incense Carriage.

Endless power of rules descended, enveloping heaven and earth.

Yuanshi and the others were all shocked.

Lu Changqing had personally descended.

All beings were also stunned. What did this mean?

The Longevity Immortal Venerable himself has come?

Could the matter in the East Sea be related to him?

"Excellent, excellent!"

"The Intercepting Sect has not disappointed me. Their diligence is commendable!"

Lu Changqing nodded with satisfaction.

In less than a year, such progress has been made.

It seems the Intercepting Sect disciples are indeed full of drive.

In this case, the great undertaking of pioneering new lands is feasible.

Next, I only need to spread the technique throughout the Primordial World so that all beings can participate.

"Fellow Daoist Changqing, what is the reason for all this?"

"Is this act of pioneering new lands also something you instigated?"

Laozi finally couldn't help but ask.

Nuwa and the other Saints watched intently.

It must be him!

In the entire Primordial World, besides Lu Changqing, there is no one else with such ability.

Furthermore, no one else would dare to have such an idea, attempting to open up the boundaries of the Primordial World.

Tongtian added from the side: "This is the Heaven-Opening Profound Scripture, personally taught by the Longevity Immortal Venerable."

"By cultivating this scripture, even those with shallow cultivation can break through the barriers of the Primordial World!"

"All those who participate in pioneering new lands will receive Merit as a reward."

Is this true?

This method was actually created by Lu Changqing?

To expand the boundaries of the Primordial World?

Gaining Merit by pioneering new lands?

All the Saints were deeply shaken!

What is this I'm hearing?

Expanding the Primordial World?

How astonishing is such a feat! Has Wuji Heaven's actions already transcended common sense to this extent?

They can even create such a method?

The Saints were momentarily speechless.

Could this person from Wuji Heaven truly have mountains of Merit?

To devise such a brilliant strategy, how could it be something ordinary beings could conceive?

Many powerful figures in the Primordial World also turned their attention.

Everyone was confused.

What benefit is there in expanding the Primordial World?

Seeing that the time was ripe, Lu Changqing announced loudly: "Since some beings find it difficult to create worlds, starting today!

Wuji Heaven will establish another path to obtain Merit."

In three days, I, this Venerable One, will hold a ceremony to ** and impart the Heaven-Opening Profound Scripture. This method can expand the territory of the Primordial World!

Originally, one mu of pioneering land would be rewarded with five points of Merit!

The disciples of the Intercepting Sect were all overjoyed upon hearing this.
