The Correct Use of the Spiritual Realm

"Cough cough, what do you think that country is going to call?" Yang Ning almost spat out his juice.

"Da Ming, is there a problem?" Hengming, "We can't just call him Da Heng!"

With the Taiheng Sect in a high position, the characters "Tai" and "Heng" cannot be used casually.

"No, no problem!" Yang Ning quickly waved his hand.

How could he possibly explain that the name reminded him of a powerful, epic dynasty-themed background music?

Hengming clearly sensed that Yang Ning hadn't told him something, but he didn't mind. He simply continued, "So, now that we have the territory and the people, how should the country govern it? Should we distribute those two software programs?"

"Of course not!" Yang Ning shook his head. "A mobile phone can't govern a country. Even if you have the software, someone still needs to implement it!"

"You have people?" Hengming asked, as he didn't recall Yang Ning having any forces under his command.

"No, so I plan to use a puppet!" Yang Ning said with a smile.

"Puppets?" Hengming was astonished. "Puppets can govern a country?"

"Of course!" Yang Ning nodded. As long as the system is perfected, let alone a puppet, even a dog can govern the country.

"How do you need my cooperation?" Hengming asked. He didn't know anything about governing a country anyway; he was just a support player.

"Let's cut off the Ming Dynasty's contact with the outside world first!" Yang Ning said. "Leave the rest to me!"

"Good!" Hengming wasn't afraid that Yang Ning would mess things up and cause the country to collapse; he had even prepared for Yang Ning's failure.

But as long as the initial intention is good, we can always try a few more times.

Anyway, cultivators have a long lifespan, so as long as the population doesn't die out, they can cause trouble many times.

Just as Hengming was about to speak, a flash of light appeared, and he disappeared from Yang Ning's sight.

Yuanxi and Xiao Huan also disappeared along with him.

From now on, the two will cultivate in Hengming Tower. Yuanxi prefers quiet to activity, and the environment of Hengming Tower is just right for her.

Immediately afterwards, Qu Heng appeared in the Taiheng Palace, in front of Yang Ning.

"Yang Ning, why haven't you set off yet after accepting the mission?" It Qu Heng had just finished the meeting and came to urge Yang Ning.

"This disciple has just broken through and is still stabilizing my realm!" Yang Ning said.

"Oh?" Qu Heng was taken aback, and upon closer inspection, he realized that he had indeed broken through!

Come to think of it, he cultivates the Fate Reversal Heavenly Star Technique, and he carries so much Reverse Fortune Power within him, so it's normal for his cultivation speed to be fast.

However, if I stabilize your cultivation level, your combat power will increase accordingly, which won't do!

"Staying in seclusion at home won't stabilize your cultivation level. Young people should go out more and gain more experience!" Qu Heng said, "You need to use your Law Power more to advance faster! If you don't stay in the Taiheng Palace and instead communicate more with your senior brothers, you'll know that many of them broke through their first few Qi Refining stages in battle."

"Thank you for your guidance, Sect Leader. I will depart immediately!" Yang Ning replied.

"Yes!" Qu Heng nodded.

He wasn't lying; battles were indeed the fastest way to catalyze Law Power. Otherwise, why would Taiheng maintain the Hundred Races Battlefield? It was precisely because it provided the best training for Qi Refining Stage disciples!

If a disciple doesn't have any cunning, he might actually believe that Qu Heng is doing this for his own good if he only listens to what he says.

But upon looking at his destination, the Abyss...

Screw that!

Where is the Abyss?

It is a crater located in the Arctic region, with a diameter of more than 20,000 kilometers and a depth of tens of thousands of meters.

Going down might lead directly to the Earth's core, but it's more likely to lead to another world.

The reason for this is that the Netherworld constantly spews out low-grade Spiritual Qi such as Death Qi, Curse Qi, and Devil Qi, and the concentration of low-grade Spiritual Qi is higher the further down you go.

A powerful cultivator at the Spiritual Law Realm once attempted to explore the Abyss, but after descending 60,000 meters, his Law Power could not withstand the corrosive effects of the high concentration of low-grade Spiritual Qi. Furthermore, the Abyss was teeming with Devil Creatures, whose strength increased the deeper one went, forcing him to halt his progress.

Sixty thousand meters thus became the limit of human understanding of the abyss.

The existence of the Netherworld makes the concentration of low-grade Spiritual Qi in the far north far exceed that of mid-grade and high-grade Spiritual Qi. Therefore, cultivators on the continents near the Netherworld mainly use low-grade Spiritual Qi, which has created a belt of Devil Dao Sects surrounding the Netherworld.

These sects are represented by the Northern Myriad Saints Alliance, Tianfei Palace, Three Ring Island, North Sea Yuan Family, and North Sea Mu Family. Among them, the Myriad Saints Alliance and Three Ring Island cultivate all kinds of things, Tianfei Palace mainly cultivates Devil Qi and bewitching energy, North Sea Yuan Family mainly cultivates Death Qi, Curse Qi, resentment energy, and ghost energy, and North Sea Mu Family mainly cultivates Blood Qi.

So, you see? Guarding the Netherworld is definitely not a safe job. Not only do you have to fight against the Devil Creature that keep pouring out of the Netherworld, but you also have to avoid the disciples of the three major demon sects who roam around. If you're not strong enough, going there is just suicide!

Those who usually carry out this mission are cultivators at the Qi Refining Fifth Level Supernatural Power Realm or above. They are strong, fast, and can escape even if they encounter a powerful enemy.

But Yang Ning is only at the Qi Refining Second Level!

What is this if not suicide?

"You've just advanced in cultivation; flying all the way there would be too much of a drain on your Law Power!" As if remembering something, Qu Heng added, "The sect happens to have a Flying Boat heading to the Sun Sect; you could hitch a ride!"

"Thank you for your kindness, Sect Leader!"

"Okay!" Qu Heng nodded, then took out his phone. "Take out your phone, I'll send you Captain Shenxin of the Flying Boat!"

Even though it was something he himself brought to this world, Yang Ning still felt strange when someone actually used it in front of him.

He added the captain as a friend. The captain's name was Changyi Taiheng Sun Express. Looking at his WeChat Moments, it was full of scenery along the way, as well as departure routes, cargo, and the like.

It seems he was just a simple long-distance businessman who was simply being used by Qu Heng.

"The Flying Boat will depart tonight, but it might be earlier. You'd better head over now!" Qu Heng said, feigning concern for his disciple's journey.

"Okay!" Yang Ning nodded, then took out a red lotus platform, stepped on it, and flew out of the Taiheng Palace.

"A top-grade Spirit Artifact, the Red Poem Lotus Platform?" Qu Heng silently passed this news on to the Lineage members, but didn't pay much attention to it.

Top-grade magical Spirit Artifacts are powerful, but their effectiveness also depends on the user.

A cultivator at the second level of Qi Refining using a top-grade Spirit Artifact may not be as powerful as a cultivator at the Qi Refining Third Layer using a high-grade Spirit Artifact.

Moreover, Yang Ning had just advanced to the Qi Refining Stage, and then advanced to the Qi Refining Second Level in such a short time.

Such achievements in just four months can only be the result of burying himself in Qi Refining and Divine Abilities. Therefore, he simply did not have time to practice the control of Spirit Artifact. Moreover, the difficulty of controlling top-grade Spirit Artifact is notoriously high. The Red Poem Lotus Platform, which is considered a superior Spirit Artifact among top-grade Spirit Artifact, is far more difficult to control than ordinary top-grade Spirit Artifact.

Yang Ning is already doing well enough that he can fly on it, let alone use it for combat?

Not to mention, Yang Ning seems to have never demonstrated his talent in combat. As an inventor, how could he possibly use the Red Poem Lotus Platform effectively?

In short, there's nothing to worry about!

He didn't care about Yang Ning, and Yang Ning didn't really care about the people they sent out either.

After all, mobile phones were already common in the Taiheng Sect, and every person they sent out had one. Many of their plans were communicated via WeChat, which Yang Ning could see clearly.

Dealing with them isn't particularly difficult.

Compared to the adversaries they would encounter, Yang Ning was more concerned about the future of the Great Ming Kingdom.

He entrusted Deep Blue with the management of his body, while he himself entered the Spirit Realm to design a puppet.

"Deep Blue, display all the puppetry techniques you've collected!"

"Yes!"

The art of puppetry in the Taiheng Realm is not highly developed, but it is Eight Gates and each has its own unique characteristics.

Yang Ning collected over three hundred different types of information using the Cloud-Mist Information Matrix.

Each individual skill is not particularly impressive, but when combined, the overall skill level is quite comprehensive.

Yang Ning didn't put in any effort; by combining the strengths of various schools, he created a puppet that was powered by Spiritual Qi energy and whose limbs, joints, skin, and eyes were indistinguishable from those of a human.

He also discovered a soul-binding technique from the Myriad Saints Alliance, which involves killing a living person, taking their soul, washing away their will, and then injecting it into the soul-gathering runes of a puppet. The puppet can then come back to life and slowly grow over time, eventually reaching a level indistinguishable from a living person.

These puppets can also cultivate and transform into human form. In the cultivation world, there is a special term for these puppets: Puppet Demons!

If you think killing is cruel, then don't kill. Wild boars and goats also have souls, they're just of lower quality. But if you mix three or five of them together, they can be just as good as a human soul.

Of course, since Yang Ning had Deep Blue to control the puppet, he didn't need to use any soul-summoning techniques.

He also installed the Rune Chips he invented on the puppets, not to give them computing power, but because Yang Ning had inscribed runes on these chips, allowing Deep Blue to use Rune Chip to unleash Law Technique.

These puppets are made of Titanium Alloy, and their skin is engraved with Defense Formation. In addition, they can cast Law Technique, making their combat power comparable to that of a Qi Refining cultivator.

The only problem is that Qi Refining cultivators can learn and use Peerless Divine Abilities, but puppets cannot.

Daoist script is something that can only be understood intuitively and cannot be explained in words, let alone imprinted on a puppet. Yang Ning has no way to do so for the time being.

With a thought, Yang Ning conjured up billions of puppets in the Spirit Realm, and then had Deep Blue reside within them.

In an instant, billions of puppets spoke in unison, "Greetings, Master!"

Yang Ning said, "His imposing presence is impressive, but his personality is a bit one-dimensional!"

"I can develop multiple personalities!" Deep Blue said.

"So, uh, differentiated personality??" Yang Ning was speaking when he seemed to pause, as if he had thought of something.

Differentiation, personality?

With unlimited computing power, wouldn't it be possible to create an infinite number of personalities?

An infinite number of personalities—isn't that equivalent to an infinite number of individuals?

The next second, Yang Ning had already left his original spot and appeared in the void of a Spirit Realm.

In the blink of an eye, a blue planet appeared before him!

Yang Ning pointed, and the scene from Yang Ning memory appeared on the planet.

The Himalayas, the Northeast Plain, the North China Plain, Asia, Europe, Africa, and North America.

In the blink of an eye, countless savages dressed in fur and wielding spears began to appear.

Forests, trees, animals, flowers and plants.

Gravity, air, metal, water flow, oil, soil!

Cell, protein, molecule, atom

How should unlimited computing power be used?

Yang Ning used to treat it only as a supercomputer, deducing Cultivation Method, simulating their Cultivation Method, managing cultivation, and gathering intelligence.

But at that moment, a sudden thought popped into my head.

Is it possible for me to use infinite computing power to deduce an Earth in the Spirit Realm?

But the azure planet before him told Yang Ning that it was possible!

He can project everything he has seen and heard into the Spirit Realm as creative material, and then create any creature from his memory.

He was most familiar with humans, so he created males based on his own genes, and females based on Yuanxi's genes, and then let them reproduce on this planet.

Yang Ning also believed that life on the planet would be influenced by his thoughts, making each one resemble him, but the computational power of the Spirit Realm was far stronger than he had imagined.

Deep Blue has collected the brainwaves of countless living beings and constructed countless thought models of humans and even animals. Then, based on the combination and collision of these thought models, an infinite number of personality models can be born.

Then set a reproduction rule, such as parents with stable personalities are more likely to give birth to a child with a stable personality, and in this way, countless lives with different personalities can be reproduced!

"Earth alone isn't enough. Let's also create planets like the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter to facilitate human exploration!"

"As for the starry sky, we can project the starry sky of Taiheng into it!"

"Then, I will inject the Reverse Fortune Power, using the historical context I remember, with the modern world as the main line of development, and begin the deduction!"

The Earth in front of me started spinning rapidly. At first, I could still make out its shape, but soon the rotation speed reached 36,500 revolutions per second!

That is, 100 years per second!

Humanity was born in the very first second!

In the 10th second, humans learned to use stone tools!

In the 15th second, humans learned to use pottery!

At the 17th second, a portion of the Reverse Fortune Power was suddenly consumed, and then an epic event occurred: Nuwa Mends the Heavens.

It was the Nuwa clan who repaired a collapsed riverbank, but since there was no written language at the time, this event was recorded by later generations in the form of mythology.

Yang Ning was astonished by the power of fate. He only guessed that his interference in history and his expectation that the other party would develop in the direction he desired would consume the Reverse Fortune Power, because this was changing history in itself.

Surprisingly, it actually worked, and the amount of Reverse Fortune Power it consumed was negligible.

After all, this is not a real planet, but merely a simulation within the Spirit Realm.

At the 18th second, an epic event occurs: the Emperor battles Chiyou!

At the 20th second, an epic event occurs: Cangjie invents Chinese characters!

At the 25th second, an epic event occurs: Yu the Great tames the floods!

What followed was exactly as Yang Ning remembered: Xia Qi killed Boyi and established the Xia Dynasty.

However, no one knows what happened at Sanxingdui during the same period. But because it exists in Yang Ning's memory, a civilization with an artistic style completely different from that of the Central Plains also emerged in Western Shu during the same period.

Meanwhile, foreign tribes from overseas began to multiply and grow in number, and started building pyramids.

Yang Ning didn't know much about foreign history, so he let Deep Blue evolve on its own, as long as the world situation when he transmigrated was the same as in his memory.

King Wu's conquest of King Wu Attacks Zhou, Qin Unifies the Six States, Huo Qubing's Campaign at Mount Langju, Guangwu's Restoration 'Wang Mang Usurps the Throne, Emperor Guangwu's Romance of the Three Kingdoms, War of the War of the Eight Princes of the Romance of Sui and Tang, Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing Dynasties, Victory in the War of Resistance.

At the 70th second, the rapidly spinning planet suddenly slowed down because the timeline had changed to 2023, the year Yang Ning had traveled through time.

In the Spirit Realm, he saw himself in college, choosing to go to the food street instead of the cafeteria food.

While crossing the road, I didn't see a single large truck speeding by.

With a slight smile, Yang Ning waved his hand and erased his own line of contact. Then, he began to sift through people in China who died in car accidents, electrocution, drowning, accidental falls, or while saving others, and collected their memories.

Human-grade Divine Ability number seventeen: Illusionary Entry

Weave a false memory, inject it into the brain of a living being, and let an ordinary person experience their entire life in a short period of time, making them feel the suffering of birth, aging, sickness, and death.

This is generally used by immortal sects to recruit disciples. If the disciple is reluctant to leave his parents, they will give him a taste of this to let him know that kinship in the mortal world is nothing but a fleeting dream, and that immortality is what we should pursue.

The memories Illusionary Entry Technique do not disappear like dreams; this is a true method of memory fusion.

Cultivators only use this Law Technique to make mortals realize the vastness of the path to immortality, but Yang Ning has now discovered another use for this Divine Ability.

If I were to use the Illusionary Entry technique to transfer the memories of an Earthling to a native of Taiheng, what would he think?

Could it be that I died unexpectedly and then traveled through time?

If you combine this with the Insight Eye can project a light screen in front of your eyes, isn't this just like the system in cultivation novels?

His Deep Blue also has functions such as automated training, improving comprehension, evolving Cultivation Method, measuring physique, and tracking progress. It is used to imitate the cheat codes of transmigrators. If it is not almost identical, it is at least completely the same!

Furthermore, by combining this with his Innate Divine Ability, the Deep Blue Contract, he could make these transmigrators sign a long and tedious contract of millions of words when binding with the system, without worrying about their betrayal.

If you want them to do something, just issue a task. Even if the reward is just a Blood Activating Tablet, they'll be happy to do it.

"That's not all. Who says only ordinary people can time travel?"

With a thought, Yang Ning simulated one world after another.

It's one thing to create worlds like Naruto and One Piece, but Yang Ning has also created worlds like Marvel, Lord of the Rings, and Harry Potter. In addition, there are fantasy worlds like A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality and Perfect World, and even the Primordial World has been created by Yang Ning.

With tens of thousands of novels and countless movies and TV series that Yang Ning had read, Yang Ning created tens of thousands of worlds in the blink of an eye!

Countless worlds have countless protagonists, some resolute, some domineering, some arrogant. What if they all transmigrated?

If it were a protagonist like Hong Yun or Han Li who transmigrated, that would be fine. But if it were Duan De who transmigrated, wouldn't the entire Taiheng Tomb be robbed?

You should know that the Taiheng Realm has no shortage of the Aristocratic Clan, so naturally, there are countless cemeteries for these Aristocratic Clan!

If we also bring along powerful figures like Madara, Ruthless Emperor, Dugu Baitian...

Ordinary people need the system to issue tasks to drive them, but these big shots don't need to do anything at all; they just want to defy the heavens on their own.

"Could this be the correct way to use the Spirit Realm?"

I can't believe I just thought of this usage.

Waaaaah... I'm such a big idiot.
