In this way, when Lin Xin recruits disciples with good aptitude, he can move them and their families in together to become his territory's residents.

He overlooked his entire wasteland territory.

"The current wasteland should no longer be called a wasteland."

Lin Xin clearly felt that after the last great battle, the Spirit Qi concentration in the wasteland's air seemed to have increased a lot.

Originally, after the Golden Goddess statue was built, the air's Spirit Qi concentration was about the level of the Netherworld Mansion.

But after the last great battle, with a large amount of corpses as fertilizer, the Spirit Qi concentration quickly increased to more than twice its original level.

Although it is still not as good as the average level of the Human Realm, it is still good compared to the Netherworld Mansion and many small worlds.

"It's time to name the territory."

Lin Xin quickly flashed through names in his mind.

"Although this wasteland is small, it is, after all, a small world. I was born in the Netherworld Mansion, so let's call it the Netherworld Realm."

"Netherworld Realm, Netherworld Realm, simple and easy to remember, and also convenient to spread."

Lin Xin confirmed the name in his heart, and directly transmitted the new name to the minds of all the Dao Soldiers through mental connection.

"The Sacrifice to the Gods Land is a top secret place for Earth Immortals, and it must never be easily exposed when weak. Even if it is exposed, untrustworthy people must never be allowed to enter."

Lin Xin also began to think about who to choose to come in to cultivate and reproduce.

Lin Family members?

No, Evil Qi entering their bodies will affect their aptitude in the future, and purification will be extremely troublesome.

Ordinary mortals from the mortal world?

Those from the Human Realm are probably not suitable. The forces in the Human Realm are intricate and complex, and it is difficult to guarantee that other forces will not plant spies.

And the key point is that the Spirit Qi concentration in this Netherworld Realm is now far thinner than in the Human Realm.

Those cultivators in the Human Realm, only fools would happily run over to take root here.

Even if they are recruited by means, they may be willing temporarily, but no one would be willing to have their descendants live here for generations.

"It seems that I can only find mortals from small worlds with even thinner Spirit Qi."

Lin Xin had a plan in mind.

"In addition, I can attract Void Demon Spirits to kill on a large scale to increase the Spirit Qi concentration in the Netherworld Realm."

It's just that the Netherworld Realm is in an isolation zone, and it is difficult to move its position without damaging its foundation. Lin Xin also asked his Master and learned that it really cannot be moved.

In this way, in such an awkward position, once the Void Demon Spirit army is provoked and they come to besiege on a large scale, then it would really be courting death.

If they encounter a large army, or even the Void Spirit Asura level taking action, I am afraid that the entire Dragon Snake Realm would have to be pressed up to barely resist.

"It seems there is only one choice..."

Lin Xin sighed, he could only go to a world with thin Spirit Qi to abduct some people back, and they had to be trustworthy enough.

Of course, it is not impossible to directly get some people from extremely remote places in the Human Realm, but the selection range is too small, and it is not as convenient as going to a small world.

If one accidentally finds a small world that hasn't been explored, that would be extremely lucky, completely capable of using it as a major rear base, growing to become a world master.

Many world masters actually come about this way.

"Wait, world master?"

Lin Xin's heart suddenly stirred.

He suddenly thought that he had the Bewildering Gate and the Ancient Divine Artifact Qi La Mask to travel through worlds.

Most importantly, there was also a continuous supply of energy cores, the Magma Core Heart.

"The Bewildering Gate opens once every ten days, for a total of three times."

When Feng Huai gave him the Black Market Dao Seed, the Bewildering Gate that came out, although it had already been opened once, there were still two chances. It was very likely that it could connect to an unknown small world. At that time, using the Qi La Mask, he might be able to find a virgin land that had never been reclaimed.

Thinking of this, Lin Xin's heart was slightly excited.

The connection of the Bewildering Gate, the traversal of the Qi La Mask, plus the Magma Core Heart could be used as an energy source. After going over, collecting resources and setting up a teleportation array could completely form a reclamation system.

In fact, many cultivators had also discovered new worlds through the Bewildering Gate, but it was also because the distance was too far, the teleportation cost was too high, and they couldn't go over to set up a teleportation array themselves. All sorts of reasons combined, in the end, there was no way to start reclamation.

"But I'm different."

The more Lin Xin thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was very high.

He simply began to carefully deduce each step, taking out the Qi La Mask to check the traversal conditions.

The mask only needed coordinates to directly traverse. However, the number of uses was limited, only once a month, and not continuously.

The coordinates it needed were based on any solid substance from the target location, extracting space-time essence from it, thereby performing comprehensive positioning.

Lin Xin didn't know what space-time essence was, but he could understand what was meant by any solid substance.

"It seems I can try it first."

He soared up and landed in the courtyard of his small Dao Palace.

He tidied up his robes and strode into the Dao Palace.

The Bewildering Gate was placed in a closed hall of the Dao Palace. The surrounding walls were reinforced with formations personally engraved by Lin Xin. Except for himself, even Dao Soldiers were not allowed to enter.

The confidentiality was extremely high.

Following the passage, turning east and west, he soon arrived at the front of the closed hall.

On the door of this hall was engraved: Secret Seal Hall.

More than ten flashes of Spirit Qi flickered on his hand, and the gate of the Secret Seal Hall slowly opened automatically. Lin Xin strode in, and the gate quickly closed again, automatically sealing the formation.

The Secret Seal Hall was empty, the black ground was dim, without reflection.

Each of the four walls flickered with a huge white light symbol, the ceiling was also a piece of black, and the four corners were inlaid with Sun Secret Stones, a kind of gemstone used specifically for lighting, projecting a soft, faint white light.

As soon as Lin Xin entered, he saw the Bewildering Gate placed in the very center.

This gate was more than one person tall, the frame of the door was silver-gray, like metal strips being twisted and about to be broken. Above the door frame, was carved a huge golden single eye.

Seeming to sense Lin Xin's entry, the golden eyeball moved, like a Dragon Eye, with a black vertical line in the middle, deep and bottomless.

"The last connection failed, and I had to disconnect during the teleportation. Hopefully, this time it will be worthwhile."

Lin Xin walked to the Bewildering Gate and carefully reached out to press his hand against it.

With a thought, the Azure Origin Cauldron in the core of the Netherworld Realm trembled slightly, releasing a large amount of Supreme Clarity Water, which surged along the ground from below into the Bewildering Gate.

"Ah..."

An old sigh came from within the door frame.

The originally empty door frame slowly revealed a black-purple vortex, and countless power fluctuations quickly filled the entire frame.

The vortex rotated slowly and deeply.

Time ticked by.

Buzz.

Suddenly, the vortex slowly stopped.

Hiss...

A clear light shot out from the center, landing on Lin Xin.

"Huh?" A delicate female voice came from the other side of the door. "Why is this door glowing?"

Lin Xin couldn't understand the other party's language at all, but the Bewildering Gate automatically converted it into mental fluctuations and transmitted it into his mind.

He breathed a sigh of relief. What he feared most was connecting to some terrifying and great existence for no reason. He didn't care about any fortuitous encounters, but he was afraid of special accidents.

However, he also forgot that for countless other living beings, he, as a Human Immortal at Perfection, had already reached the point where he could give others fortuitous encounters.

"So beautiful..."

The voice coming from the other side was very childish, indicating that the speaker was not very old.

Lin Xin thought for a while, sensed the Qi La Mask, and found that the mask was in a traversable state. He decisively stopped transmitting Supreme Clarity Water.

Immediately, the connection of the Bewildering Gate slowly broke, and the voice from the other side gradually disappeared.

"Let's arrange the other things first, and once everything is ready, then try to traverse."

He carefully looked at the Bewildering Gate, turned around, and strode out.

Now that the connection was established, he could perform small exchanges at any time to allow the Qi La Mask to locate and traverse over. There was no need to rush for the time being.

He had found Hero Yuan Qiuque before, and there were still many arrangements that had not been handled properly. Once the Qi La Mask traversed over, it would be troublesome if he encountered problems and couldn't return temporarily.

******************

North Mulberry Continent, Ru Nation.

In a mountain range in the northwest of the nation.

A black giant sword, hundreds of meters long, was stuck upside down in the center of the mountain range.

On the side of the giant sword's blade, on a cyan-black cliff, stood a large area of ​​small, grayish-white, yellowish Taoist temples.

In the courtyard of one of the Taoist temples.

Yuan Qiuque pinched his beard, concentrating as he played a game of chess with a white-haired old Daoist.

Behind the two, their respective disciples stood, waiting respectfully.

After a long while, the old Daoist wore a mournful face as he messed up the chessboard.

"I'm not playing, I'm not playing anymore! I lost again!"

"Why are you like this?" Yuan Qiuque was immediately amused. "You're still the esteemed Elder of the Facing Heaven Sect, the number one sword sect in Ru Nation. Can't you afford to lose? Is this how an Elder should act?"

"As the Grand Elder, I should only win, never lose," the old Daoist said with righteous confidence.

"You old codger!" Yuan Qiuque laughed in exasperation. In the entire Ru Nation, the two of them were among the top experts. If outsiders knew that the famous Elder Xin Luan was actually a sore loser who only wanted to win, countless people's idols would probably be shattered.

"Alright, alright, it's just a game of chess. Why be so fixated on winning or losing?"

Elder Xin Luan waved his hand, feigning magnanimity.

The disciples behind them couldn't help but want to laugh, but they had to secretly restrain themselves.

"Long time no see, Hero Yuan still looks as dashing as ever."

Suddenly, a voice came from the entrance of the courtyard, clear and bright with a hint of a smile.

Yuan Qiuque was stunned upon hearing the voice and quickly looked up in the direction of the speaker.

"Who is it?"

To arrive so close without being announced, both disciples were shocked. One of them was about to take out his Magic Sword to attack.

But he was immediately stopped by Yuan Bo Fei, who was both a disciple and Yuan Qiuque's biological son. His knowledge far surpassed that of ordinary cultivators.

He knew that the person who came was likely a profound expert, not someone they disciples could compare to.

Elder Xin Luan's expression also darkened, and he stood up.

"Fellow Daoist, isn't it impolite to arrive unannounced?"

"Lin has his reasons, and hopes fellow Daoists will forgive him."

Before his voice faded, the person had already arrived in the middle of the courtyard.

The four of them looked over and saw a young master who looked pale and somewhat sickly. (To be continued ~^~)
