Making Arrangements, Preparing Early, and Training the Disciples

"From this perspective, the entire shallow Heavenly Stars has become a training ground for High Tier powerhouses."

The communication projections covering the entire planetary system, including the Solar System, Blue Star, and the Heavenly River Dao Field, dissipated, and the Dao Foundation cultivators who were initially worried also calmed down.

Based on their decades of experience, they are also aware of the potential threats they now face.

Previously, the Perfected Heavenly River, a Great Immortal with the talent of a Dao Lord, had been in contact with the three types of human races, Human Federation was minimally affected.

The sudden and significant decrease in the strength of the Galactic Transcendent Council, which maintains order in the Milky Way, is causing concern among those who have lived for over four hundred Dao Foundation.

After comforting the Dao Foundation, Wang An immediately summoned his disciples and grand-disciples, including Tianxin, Tianping, Tianli, and Tianqing. Once all fifty-odd Dao Foundation cultivators from the entire Heavenly River Dao Lineage had gathered at Silver River Abode, he explained his future plans one by one.

"The entire galaxy is currently rife with conflict, and countless strange and dangerous civilizations and races are rising to power. Even though my human race on Blue Star possesses forbidden Divine Ability for Shelter, we cannot sit idly by and wait for our demise."

One disciple asked, "Master, with such a dramatic change in the situation, is it possible for you to maintain control of this precious land?"

As soon as this person spoke, many Dao Foundation cultivators who had recently advanced in the past few years seemed to agree with him, but they were dissuaded by their senior brothers and elders.

Upon seeing that this disciple belonged to the Tianping lineage, Chen Tianping, upon hearing his words of wishful thinking, immediately consulted Wang An and sealed his Dao Foundation and divine sense, and gave him appropriate punishment.

After his disciples and followers quieted down, Wang An continued, "The Galactic Transcendent Council still exists, with High Tier figures from various races and interstellar entities holding important positions. Most of its functions are still operating normally. Don't harbor such delusions."

"In such an environment, with the outside world undergoing great changes and constant competition, if our human civilization lives in peace and stability without the tempering of real battlefields, it may be difficult to cope with the competition from other traditions five hundred years from now."

Therefore, Wang An rose, surrounded by a dazzling galaxy, like a supreme being of water, and issued a decision. "Establish an interstellar exploration fleet ahead of schedule, and first occupy several nearby planetary systems. Vigorously cultivate various resources to increase the number of Dao Foundation cultivators of our Blue Star human race. As for the Purple Mansion cultivators, it's up to you three Late-Stage Dao Foundation; you must intensify your cultivation."

Upon hearing this decision, the disciples naturally understood its necessity and unanimously exclaimed, "Master, our patriarch is wise! We, your disciples and grand-disciples, will humbly obey your command!"

After announcing the end of the meeting and the departure of many disciples, preparations for allocating resources and building the fleet immediately began.

Then, Wang An looked at his four personal disciples, sensing the strong Dao Foundation aura surrounding them, nodded, and commented. "Profound cultivation, but lacking in sharpness."

"Therefore, you few, in addition to your original positions, will also accompany me into the Netherworld Hell, traversing the three lower levels of the Netherworld Hell—the Frost Hell, the Blazing Fire Hell, Thunder Hell —to participate in the hunt for interdimensional demons."

"Accumulating Netherworld Qi Destiny in this way will benefit your cultivation of Yin Spirit and the elevation of your Purple Mansion."

After distributing the [Hell Talisman Edict], Wang An led his disciples directly into the lowest level of Thunder Hell.

Here, after expending a huge amount of essence to create another Second-Tier High Grade flying sword, the area of the realm that had shrunk had been restored to one-third.

Beyond the Thunder Hell, numerous Qi Refining at the Qi Refining and Dao Foundation stages continue to pour in.

Among these demons, those with low intelligence wantonly unleashed their demonic energy, which was immediately sensed by the Yin lightning gathered above, instantly unleashing destructive lightning of the corresponding level.

However, many intelligent beings, who sought to avoid harm and seek benefit, tried their best to conceal their aura, either by using other beings of their kind as obstacles or by instantly burrowing into the ashes and filth, disappearing to who knows where.

Seeing this scene, Tianxin the Dripping Water Sword Intent, brimming with fighting spirit. She turned to Wang An and asked, "Master, what is the origin of these demons?"

Wang An slowly said, "When people die, they become ghosts, and people fear them; when ghosts die, they become demons, and ghosts dread them. These evil spirits are demons in their true form, but they are unaware that such great resentment, death energy, turbid energy, ghostly energy, and yin energy have given them this appearance."

"And it's not just humans, but the souls of other intelligent beings as well. In my view, the other side of that rift passage is probably a large ruin, where some powerful and extraordinary lineage must have perished to breed such a continuous stream of demons."

Everyone looked up in the direction their master was looking and could feel the unsettling aura emanating from afar, their expressions turning solemn.

Although Tianqing's cultivation had quickly reached the Dao Foundation Middle Stage and he had already forged his first sword pellet flying sword [Clear Light], he had long anticipated fighting and hunting demons and monsters. However, he couldn't help but feel somewhat worried about the chilling aura and the endless evil spirits on the other side of the rift.

"Master, is there perhaps Middle Tier or even High Tier demon on the other side? This rift is widening rapidly; at this rate, High Tier might be able to pass through in less than five hundred years."

Wang An looked at Tianqing and said with a smile, "You seem more worried about this spatial rift than I am. With forbidden Divine Ability covering the entire Solar System, no matter if it's the Dark Universe, the material universe, the High Tier Great Void, or other High Tier beings in other dimensions, they could never defy the prohibition of these Divine Ability."

"At most, they could be Middle Tier perfect beings, or even powerful demons carrying varying amounts of profound laws."

"Your master has transformed the three layers of the Netherworld into a battlefield for refining demonic energy into nourishment for the growth of the Netherworld Domain. After several hundred years, we will naturally have no fear of mere Middle Tier beings. However, you still need to advance to the Purple Mansion as soon as possible so that my Blue Star civilization can expand steadily."

Gazing upon this place, the ever-flowing demons are constantly being worn down.

Wang An pondered for a moment, then communicated with the Lord of the Netherworld, dividing the Thunder Hell and spatial connections. Based on the two levels of Qi Refining Dao Foundation and Purple Mansion, he divided the continental worlds into different regions and set up extremely strong law restrictions to prevent those Middle Tier demons from descending to the lower-level battlefields.

After doing all this, he said to his four disciples, "Now that two major worlds of the first and second tiers have been established, you will enter them to train, slay demons and monsters, and then offer sacrifices to the Thunder Hell using ritual methods. You will naturally receive a continuous stream of Qi Destiny and thunder resources as rewards. When you can achieve the Purple Mansion depends on your individual fate."

Wang An then departed, leaving behind four Dao Foundation cultivators brimming with fighting spirit.

Although the four of them have already reached the mid-to-late stage of the Dao Foundation, and their cultivation and combat power are among the top on the entire Blue Star, the newcomers are also exceptionally talented.

Some perfected the various arts of cultivation, some supplemented the concepts and imagery of the Heavenly River Water, and some followed unorthodox paths such as martial arts, wizardry, and Arcane Mage, gathering most of the Qi Destiny of the entire system upon themselves.
