Arrangements on Many Fronts, King Wood Heart!
After the three of them exchanged ideas --
The matter of the Heart-Tempering Tower was thus officially put on the agenda...
However, this cannot be achieved in the short term.
After all, the Da Zhou had just destroyed the kingdoms of Chiyuan and Daliang, resulting in a sharp decline in the number of cultivators within the country and a severe shortage of resources from all sides, not to mention cultivators of the Four Arts...
There's not even enough for all the regions to distribute!
The Great Zhou State has nearly doubled in size. After several years of division, it has been newly divided into fifteen prefectures, more than one hundred and sixty counties, and nearly three thousand county-level administrative units...
A total of 27 states, 288 counties, and over 5,000 districts!
Among them, there are sixteen Dao Foundation factions.
Besides the original nine families, four more Dao Foundation foundations in the Later Chiyuan State surrendered and were called the Four Great Tribes of Chiyuan, leaving three families remaining...
One of them was founded by the Da Zhou Imperial House, by a prince at the Dao Foundation Realm.
The other two were both Qi Condensation Overlord level forces that had risen to power, both relying on this great battle and a series of fortuitous opportunity...
Two Qi Condensation Immortal Clan seized the opportunity to rise to power and establish themselves as Dao Foundation cultivators!
In chaotic times, there is never a shortage of heroes. You may think that Qin Lu has obtained an extraordinary fortuitous opportunity, but that is not the case...
How many heroes are there in this world?
Like a swarm of carp crossing a river, heroes emerge in great numbers, their brilliance as vast as the sea!
Upon comparison, Qin Lu's gains were naturally not as exaggerated; those who rise to the top in one step are few and far between...
But it's not impossible!
What makes you think that the person you believe is the protagonist? He could also be a supporting character next to the real protagonist...
Even the most heinous criminals!
Although they were supporting characters, they were equally brilliant!
The sixteen Dao Foundation foundations occupy sixteen states.
The remaining eleven states all have vacancies, which means that for a considerable period of time, there will be a great deal of chaos...
At this time, cultivators of the Four Arts are especially precious!
The Qin Clan and Huang Clan took advantage of the situation to profit.
Even the price of elixirs has begun to skyrocket...
For example, First-Tier Mid-Grade Muxuan Pill used to be sold in a bottle of three, with each bottle costing one Spirit Stone. Now, each pill costs one Spirit Stone!
The price tripled!
Everyone is striving to increase their strength; only by becoming increasingly powerful can they protect themselves and further annex other smaller forces...
This creates a virtuous cycle, much like raising a venomous insect.
The internal strife will inevitably give rise to a powerful cultivator at the Dao Foundation Realm, thereby stabilizing the surrounding area and fully digesting the gains...
The new Great Zhou State's territory borders the Frost Spirit Demon Race to the north, the vast ocean to the east, the Canglan State to the south, Three Origins Dao Realm State to the southwest...
It borders the Tuoshe Spirit State to the west and the Ten Nations Alliance to the northwest.
The Nascent Soul Cultivator stationed in the north is one of the Nascent Soul ancestors from the Northern Nether Domain, the Myriad Nations of the Central Lands, and the Longlife Ancient Kingdom...
Their mission was to represent the ancient kingdom and guard its northern borders.
They might even continue to expand northward, doing everything possible to curb the development of the Ice and Snow Demon Race, and ultimately, to completely eradicate the existence of the northern Demon Race...
Otherwise, we could go to the Northern Nether Domain, that barren land in the north.
How could Nascent Soul Cultivator be born? Only the Ice and Snow Demon Race, relying on the North Pole, could achieve Nascent Soul status through the Ice and Snow Dao Principles...
Ordinary Human Race, unless they cultivate the Way of Ice and Snow.
Otherwise, it is extremely difficult to Nascent Soul Formation in the North. In the entire Northern Nether Domain, almost 70% of Nascent Soul Cultivator Nascent Soul Formation in the Myriad Nations of the Central Lands...
The Myriad Nations of the Central Lands.
The Golden Core represents the nation, the Nascent Soul represents the ancient nation, and the Spirit Transformation represents the empire!
One link leads to another, tightly interconnected, the system of offerings maintaining order, and the ancient kingdom or empire...
Most of the time, they will not directly interfere in the conflicts between the countries below them.
Ultimately, from the perspective of those in power, it doesn't matter who it is, as long as they can hand over the offering, it's all the same, there's not much difference...
Naturally, I just stopped caring.
Moreover, places like the northern part of the continent, where Spiritual Qi is scarce, don't even have a medium-sized Spirit Vein; they're practically remote wastelands...
A small Spirit Vein is often the foundation upon which a country is founded.
Even a tiny Spirit Vein.
Such things can attract countless Dao Foundation cultivator to fight over, and some even perish for them. This has happened before in history...
This barren land would have been saved if it weren't for the presence of the northern Ice and Snow Demon Race.
It's unlikely that Nascent Soul Cultivator would stay here for an extended period.
(ps: Spirit Vein are graded as micro, small, medium, large, and top-grade)
Inside a secret chamber at Dao-Seeking Peak in Cloud Dream County.
Qin Lu was immersed in cultivation, his aura growing increasingly profound, while on the bed beside him, Qiao Mei, her fair back exposed, fell into a deep sleep...
When its Spiritual Power circulates throughout the body, like a dragon returning to the rivers.
The breakthrough has already been achieved!
Having Eighth Level of Qi Condensation, after more than ten years of catching up, I can finally say I've achieved Huang Liang...
With a Qi Condensation Realm furnace, various Third-Tier Spirit Plant to consume, and a large amount of pills to enhance his abilities, breaking through to the Eighth Level of Qi Condensation was a natural progression!
"My cultivation level is almost there..."
"But in terms of understanding the Dao Rhyme, he is indeed somewhat lacking..."
"What exactly is the path I cultivate?"
"Whether it's the ultimate poison, the noble wood, or the Azure Wood Dao... I've even dabbled in the very essence of the soul..."
"It's tough!"
Qin Lu muttered to himself, wondering where he was.
It's as if the path is right beneath your feet, yet you're unaware of it, unable to let go, trapped in your own situation, oblivious to the affairs of the world, trapped in your own heart...
"Yang Wood Heart is the ruler of Yang, and Azure Wood is the extreme of Yin within Yangmu. Therefore, it takes all trees as its foundation and the soul as its origin and root..."
"He commands all trees as his army, and regards all vegetation as the king among ten thousand!"
"A king need not be upright and honorable, a king need not be selfless and devoted, a king is not great for the sake of being great..."
Be your own master, let your heart be the legacy, and you will be your own king!
"Only by being a king oneself can one govern others."
"He is the master of the celestial sphere, overseeing all its changes. He commands all living things as his soldiers, and rules over all things in the world as his subjects, thus making me king!"
"This is..."
"After the worst comes the best, and countless transformations occur."
"Forged by King Wood Heart!"
Qin Lu seemed to have a sudden realization. In the the Unseen, a King Wood Dao Rhyme rose from his heart, connecting with the destiny of heaven and earth based on his heart...
And the so-called: King Wood.
This is a branch of the Wood element, its power manifesting as the ability to see even plants as soldiers, to transform them into people of plants...
"Dao Rhyme...?"
"It seems there's still a slight deficiency; I can only perceive a little bit."
The moment Qin Lu withdrew, a profound and mysterious feeling washed over him...
It was as if I had grasped something, yet it was also as if I had grasped nothing at all. The only change was that the surrounding plants and trees seemed to possess a greater sense of spirit...
perhaps--
Once Qin Lu has fully mastered it, he can assist in enlightening plants and trees, helping them to develop intelligence, thus artificially creating a: Wood Demon!
That Heding Old Child might have been born in this way...
(I really didn't mean to today, I had something really going on, and I didn't get off work until 10 pm. My perfect attendance record for this month is ruined (-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩___-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩))
