Jinmen's Number One

It manipulates clouds and rain, transforming the rotten into the miraculous, and forming formations with exquisite skill.

This is a Daoist Art used by psionic cultivators to adapt to the local conditions and change the cultivation environment of an area. This Daoist Art doesn't have a specific name; more accurately, it's just a method for psionic cultivators to apply their knowledge to the world.

Shenxiao Peak possesses a Daoist Art that is based on this method of "stealing the heavens and changing the sun." It manipulates the Earthly Fiends and Heavenly Stars, inverting yin and yang, and can instantly erase the surface of a modern fortress city from the earth.

Of course.

The difficulty of that Daoist Art is immense, certainly beyond Lan Yi's current capabilities. However, the basic principles are laid out here. Once one understands electromagnetism, gravity, the weak force, and the strong force, all the mysteries of Daoist Arts are contained within. Even if one cannot replicate the techniques, there are ways to counter them.

He has Prison Suppression which can be activated at any time.

Entering a state of absolute rationality and calmness, coordinating external psionic energy becomes effortless.

Once Lan Yi decides to act.

Then there is a hundred percent certainty of success. Even if unexpected events like natural disturbances occur midway, he is confident in controlling the situation.

However, it is still a gamble.

Some risks must be taken. He cannot stay in the Artificial Divine Realm forever. If he doesn't pick up the pace, his improvement in this backward and barren Artificial Divine Realm will be somewhat slow.

One must understand the conditions for rebirth.

It can be said that ninety-nine percent of reincarnators are enemies of Lan Yi. They have also been reborn and will undoubtedly do everything in their power to rapidly increase their strength during their first trial in the Artificial Divine Realm. They will then observe and study Lan Yi. Once they find an opportunity, they will definitely rush out to slay the demon old Lan to appease the heavens and save the world!

To put it in more fashionable terms, Lan Yi has now, in a sense, triggered a spiritual energy resurgence in Artificial Divine Realm 1909 all by himself.

The Type 1 Conversion Device gradually stabilized.

The beam of light shooting into the sky slowly dissipated.

It was replaced by specks of rain-like blue light, overflowing from the massive lotus circuit. They traced paths across his retinas before vanishing without a trace.

Although invisible to the naked eye, through Psionic Vision, one could clearly see light particles representing psionic energy flickering and activating, creating what is known as psionic mist. This mist rapidly leaped in units of ten thousand meters, beginning to fill the entire Puhai area with psionic energy.

It was only now that Huo Yuanjia and Geng Liangchen, who dared to approach, could clearly see their fear and admiration for Lan Yi.

"Congratulations, Immortal Master, on your success!"

They also could not see psionic energy, but their Innate Qi could sense it.

As Spirit Cultivation Practitioners, their senses were the most acute.

Like birds being lifted into the sky by a strong wind, or fish leaping into water and being nourished, their Innate Qi, which had been depleted and required significant replenishment or seeking Lan Yi's help, was now autonomously absorbing free-floating psionic energy. They could now autonomously replenish combat-level expenditures.

Lan Yi was estimating the impact based on the psionic energy feedback in the air.

"You can find people to open up vegetable gardens and farms within Puhai. You can also control the seafood near the mouth of the Yangtze River."

"With abundant psionic energy, if you're lucky, you can harvest psionic food. It's not useful to me, but it can speed up your cultivation progress."

"In addition, among the manual laborers in the city, there should soon appear a batch of people who can sense Innate Qi or have unconsciously activated their Destiny Clusters. They are the seeds for future conquests across the four seas."

Lan Yi didn't need to say much more.

Even if Huo Yuanjia and Geng Liangchen didn't understand.

The party members, who were already deeply bound to them, would understand what needed to be done to govern this city and continue expanding outwards.

"By the Immortal Master's Order!"

The two Spirit Cultivation powerhouses bowed again.

At this moment, Lan Yi frowned slightly.

Troublesome matters indeed arose. This Type 1 Conversion Device had touched upon the underlying logic of the entire Artificial Divine Realm's operation. Even if this world had no other psionic cultivators interfering or coveting it, the Heavenly Will, the River of Life, the Heavenly Dao, or some high-dimensional computer would begin its assessment.

Lan Yi, as the ultimate causal creator of the spiritual energy resurgence and the world's turning tide, had his luck fluctuate.

If he were extremely unlucky.

It wouldn't be impossible for mythical creatures like phoenixes or flood dragons to appear.

However, the most troublesome thing wasn't these.

It was the side effect of this Type 1 Conversion Device.

Its side effect wasn't reflected in the spiritual energy, but directly acted upon the Artificial Divine Realm itself!

If the Artificial Divine Realm were the wall guarding the main world for the War Zone, then after the Type 1 Conversion Device was activated, it would be equivalent to broadcasting on this wall that this Artificial Divine Realm had undergone an abnormal change.

How strong was this broadcast effect?

It was like holding up a torch in a dark, unlit wilderness, like a man-made sun appearing in a polar snowfield, like a loudspeaker wailing in the dead of night when all was silent, like a cautiously hidden field mouse entering the sight of a top predator.

Things like time-space locusts, cross-border immortal sects, super empires, ultimate lifeforms, doomsday embers, psionic cultivators (future), and other strange entities could all be attracted.

"Huh? Why is this Artificial Divine Realm continuously broadcasting?"

"Let's go check it out!"

Of course, this also depended on luck.

It might be that after several hundred or even a thousand years, no entity notices the anomaly in this Artificial Divine Realm. Or, in the next second, the sky curtain could be torn apart by an intruding star-destroying fleet.

The primary entities that would undertake such actions were psionic cultivators from the main world.

And there was the War Zone providing a safety net!

Lan Yi, that scoundrel, actually dared to escalate things in the War Zone!

Connected to a Type I conversion device, Lan Yi could vaguely sense that after crudely mass-producing psionic energy and spreading it out, several anomalous locations were activated.

And one of them was even in Puhai...

Lan Yi turned his head to look at Huo Yuanjia.

This anomaly had a deep karmic connection with Huo Yuanjia.

"Master Huo, go find someone for me. You're the only one who can find this person successfully," Lan Yi instructed.

"Who is Immortal Master looking for?"

"His current name should be Jin Buhuan."

"Huh?" Huo Yuanjia was confused. He didn't know anyone named Jin Buhuan. Was this Immortal Master only giving him a name and expecting him to search through Puhai's population of over a million people?

"Go outside and take a look around. You should be able to find him."

No one dared to disobey Lan Yi, no matter how absurd his requests were.

Huo Yuanjia immediately prepared to head outside the power plant for a walk. If he didn't encounter the person, he would have to find Nong Jinsun to check the household registry.

As soon as Huo Yuanjia stepped out the door.

A figure suddenly darted in front of him. The speed was so great that Huo Yuanjia couldn't react and didn't sense the person's presence at all. He was genuinely startled!

"Hey! Huo Yuanjia! Huo Yuanjia! Heh heh, when are you going to be Jinmen's number one?"
