Lin Yunji's Idea

If that's the case, then the powerful cultivators from outside, wanting to gain power, might resort to Evil Dao, such as keeping the local residents as pets and killing them at will.

Because here, wild creatures are formed from the energy of heaven and earth, and there is no way to keep them in captivity, but the indigenous people who live here can.

It is because of this understanding that the great power that created this world established such a rule, thereby protecting the indigenous people here.

Initially, Lin Yunji intended to go directly to the established strongholds and join them.

However, now that he has encountered this village, Lin Yunji has a new idea.

He wants to build a base for the Primordial Expanse Universe here, one that belongs entirely to him.

"Of course." After hearing Lin Yunji's words, the old man agreed without even thinking.

After all, cooperating with cultivators from the outside world is quite normal here.

This is why the old man allowed Lin Yunji to enter the village.

To put it bluntly, their village is on the verge of extinction, and the situation is extremely dire. They desperately need the help of outside cultivators!

It's really good that Lin Yunji and the others are here.

After the old clan chief agreed, Lin Yunji smiled.

"Fellow Lin Yunji, shall we establish a base here?" asked the Saint Venerable Daweide.

"Yes," Lin Yunji replied, "Once the base is established, this place will serve as a coordinate, allowing others to directly find their destination when they come to the Vast Blue Illusory Realm."

"Not only that, there are other benefits. I'll tell you about them one by one later." After saying that, Lin Yunji turned to the old clan chief and said, "Old clan chief, may I see the stone tablet in your village?"

"No problem." The old clan chief nodded in agreement, then stood up and walked outside. "You all follow me."

Led by the old clan chief, Lin Yunji walked to the very back of the village, where there was a crooked tree.

The stone tablet is located under this crooked tree; it looks very ancient.

The stone tablet was crudely made, with the three characters "Big Stone Town) engraved on it.

I didn't expect it to be a town, not a village!

Lin Yunji felt a slight surge of joy. In the Vast Blue Illusory Realm, villages are the lowest level of outposts, followed by towns, then counties, then large cities, and finally, the largest is the main city!

Jade City is a major stronghold at the level of a main city.

The level of a stronghold is determined by many factors, such as the number of native inhabitants, which is very important.

Lin Yunji never expected that this small village, which looked to have no more than twenty people, was actually a town!

But Lin Yunji immediately understood. Perhaps a long time ago, Big Stone Town did indeed have a large population, and they had migrated here from Jade City. That's why the world's rules classified it as a town.

"I'm really lucky," Lin Yunji thought to himself.

"Elder Chief, I'd like to ask again, have you promised us that from this day forward this place will be our stronghold in the Primordial Expanse Universe?" Lin Yunji asked again.

The old patriarch nodded. "Yes, I will grant you the builder's privileges."

"Okay," Lin Yunji replied.

The people who moved here from Jade City were indeed different. The old patriarch had learned a great deal. He cut his finger, letting the blood drip onto the stone tablet, and then said, "I am the mayor of Big Stone Town. I hereby order that a contract be made with this friend. From this day forward, this friend will become a builder of Big Stone Town."

Lin Yunji immediately cut his finger, letting his blood drip onto the stone tablet, and then a voice immediately rang in his mind.

"Contract complete!"

"Control of the outpost has been successfully acquired!"

Please name the outpost!

"Please select a buff for your stronghold! Big Stone Town currently has four buffs."

"Sun Protection: Big Stone Town is protected by the sun. All outpost units gain the ability to heal themselves when exposed to sunlight."

"Bloodline Protection: The stronghold is protected by the spirits of the ancestors, and the natives within it can enhance their reproductive abilities!"

River Protection: A water source has been identified.

"Plague Protection: Plague will no longer appear on its own in strongholds, and the disease's spread within strongholds will be reduced!"

"Construction Protection: Outposts gain special building rights! They can select certain locations to construct special buildings, unlocking more features in the future."

"You have received the buff from the stronghold; within the stronghold, your power will increase by 15%."

One sound after another echoed in Lin Yunji's mind, just like the system.

The system's voice, however, lacked the cold indifference of this one.

Lin Yunji knew that these sounds were emitted by the rules of heaven and earth of the Vast Blue Illusory Realm.

But none of this surprised Lin Yunji; what surprised Lin Yunji was the rest.

I never expected this town to have four protective barriers.

Although different strongholds have different protective abilities, other towns can only have one type of protective ability. However, Lin Yunji now has the right to choose his protective ability.

Previously, Lin Yunji had accidentally acquired a Knowledge Jade, which contained a lot of information related to the Vast Blue Illusory Realm.

One of these is the stronghold protection.

Among the many types of blessings Sun Protection is extremely rare and precious.

With this blessing, if a cultivator is injured, their injuries will gradually heal as long as they return to the town. They don't need medicine or to leave the Canglan Illusionary Realm to heal. This blessing is very practical.

In addition, it is said that it is very difficult to see patients with the disease.

Because in the Vast Blue Illusory Realm, the natives have three main causes of death.

First: He was killed.

Second: To die of old age.

Third: Epidemics.

Plagues are rampant in this world, and large strongholds are numerous.

Once the epidemic spreads, cultivators from outside can leave the Vast Blue Illusory Realm, but the natives here can only wait to die, with nowhere to go.

Because the medical care here is very underdeveloped, there are basically no doctors. There's nothing that can be done about it, since cultivators from outside don't need to see a doctor at all.

The wild creatures of this world are manifestations of the energy of heaven and earth, and therefore have no need for them.

Only the indigenous people need it, but due to the rules of this world, medical knowledge that is useful outside is basically useless here.

Just like outside the Vast Blue Illusory Realm, many diseases are caused by bacteria.

However, there are no bacteria at all in the Vast Blue Illusory Realm. The natives here are also different from the people outside who are composed of cells. Although it seems absurd, it is the truth.

The powerful beings who created this world can freely alter its rules. Therefore, in the Vast Blue Illusory Realm, whatever they say goes.
