Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

"Okay, that's bright and airy."

Temporary subjugation can't determine anything, nor does it need to change anything for them. As long as he lives, the Green Palace can continue to exist.

Gu Qing immediately issued the first order.

"All the mortals living on the islands in the seas under your command, as well as in the territories near Yunmengze, shall be moved to the Three Immortal Mountains."

“Build a giant city and establish a complete logistical supply system.”

"Elder Hou will be in charge of this matter."

"Yes!"

"During the journey, no ordinary person shall die. If any death of an ordinary person occurs due to disease, hunger, stampede, or other causes, I will hold you accountable!"

Elder Hou's face fell. This was a huge project; the population of the coastal region was no less than that of the Shuiyun Cultivation Kingdom.

If we also need to pay attention to these aspects, even splitting him into eight parts wouldn't be enough.

Ignoring the other party's tearful expression, Gu Qing immediately issued his second order.

"During Elder Hou's mission, you must all do your utmost to assist him and not hold back."

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Starting today, half of the outstanding disciples and some core members of the Sea Sword Sect and the Loose Immortal Alliance will be permanently merged into the Azure Palace."

"The pearl-diving maid will be in charge of leading you there."

A series of instructions separated the two schools of thought, keeping them busy with various affairs, and the matter was thus temporarily concluded.

Gu Qing gathered mortals for the purpose of harnessing their willpower.

Using the power of immortals, they moved to one place and built an unprecedented megacity. As it developed and multiplied, these people left the megacity of the Three Immortal Mountains and spread the Qing Palace faith to all parts of the Western Sea.

This is a time-sensitive approach, but it can also bring countless benefits.

For example, if the forces under his command want to recruit disciples, since the population of the near sea has already entered the Three Immortal Mountains, he can control what kind of disciples they can recruit.

Unless they openly recruit in the Shuiyun Cultivation Kingdom.

But that's Yunmeng Immortal Mountain's private land; it's impossible to share it with them.

By controlling mortals, one controls the future of the cultivation world.

It's just that it will take a long time, like boiling a frog in lukewarm water, and the powers that dominate the coastal areas will eventually become history.

The act of taking away half of the outstanding disciples has accelerated this process. Without crossing the bottom line, they have no way to resist and are powerless to resist.

They are still young and have great potential.

It's not impossible for him to become a staunch supporter of the Qing Palace.

Mortals provide immense willpower, while cultivators provide high-quality willpower. The combination of the two is enough for Gu Qing to get on the right track in his cultivation at the fifth rank.

The derivation and improvement of the willpower system has been put on the agenda.

As for the two remaining family forces near the sea, the Gao family and the Ji family—family forces are ultimately different from sects. The bond of blood makes them more difficult to divide and suppress.

The same approach doesn't work on them.

Therefore, Gu Qing need not worry. Once the news of the Huadao Mountain incident spreads throughout the Western Sea, these two families will naturally come to him.

The trend is irreversible; the unification of the coastal areas is an unstoppable force.

in this way.

Three months later, news of Qinggong's reclaiming of the three sects and one clan swept across the Western Sea, and the massive migration of mortals officially began.

At the foot of the Three Immortals Mountain, a giant city is being built.

The cultivators built the city to serve only mortals, and the speed was unbelievable. These cultivators came from various factions and were skilled in all the arts of cultivation, including array masters, weapon refiners, alchemists, and so on.

This greatly satisfied the needs of the Qing Palace and put everything on the fast track.

…………

...Three years later.

While collecting various inheritances to fill the Qing Palace Scripture Pavilion, he also deduced a special supernatural power that Gu Qing had been conceiving for a long time.

"The Great Wish-Granting Technique!"

now.

Under Gu Qing's order, a sacrificial ceremony was held every year on the second day of the second month. In just three years, a large amount of wish power crystals were accumulated, except that the quality was not as good as those that the Mountain and Sea Realm had previously obtained.

However, it can still meet the requirements for performing the spell.

Directly absorbing the power of wishes carries too great a risk, as it can easily pollute one's own spirit and lead to personality mutations. However, it can also be used indirectly. Thus, the Great Wish Technique, which originated from the Small Wish Technique, came into being.

"Just today!"

Frustrated by his increasingly slow progress in cultivation, Gu Qing clasped his hands together in a gesture of prayer, using the Midnight-Noon Mantra.

The purified wish-power crystals in the cultivation room instantly transformed into wisps of seven-colored smoke, carrying a rich fragrance, rising continuously into the mysterious realm of the underworld.

It is like worshipping the Way of Heaven.

In fact, compared to the Great Wish Spell, Gu Qing prefers to call it — the Heavenly Offering Spell.

It means nothing else.

It's about wanting to worship the Heavenly Father, hoping that the Heavenly Father will consume the incense and energy, and that the Heavenly Father will balance all things and maintain the basic logic of the world's operation.

He did not support Him accepting huge bribes, so Gu Qing sought Heaven's reward by making a wish.

"I want the energy of chaos!"

Then the void unexpectedly cracked open, and chaotic mist from who-knows-where fell from it, like a waterfall washing over Gu Qing's physical body.

During this process, the Golden Core Dao Fruit absorbed a small amount of chaotic mist, which made Gu Qing's "blade" for imprinting thunder patterns much sharper, and the imprinting speed increased several times over.

"Perfect."

If the Chaos Gourd hadn't been in the process of being refined into a Heaven-Reaching Treasure, this Wish Power Crystal could have been exchanged for even more of the power of heaven and earth.

While obtaining tangible treasures is somewhat difficult, various kinds of exotic energy are entirely feasible rewards for making wishes.

It is also useful for collecting various extinct forms of celestial energy.

This is why Gu Qing calls it the "Heavenly Offering Technique"—if you accept his offerings, you have to give him something in return.

This supernatural technique, which consumes the power of will crystals, is worthy of being classified as a forbidden technique.

There are also hidden risks involved.

Take the power of aspiration, for example. No matter how pure it is, it is still a variant of the power of the heart derived from human desires and yearning for beauty!
Blood Sea Consciousness, which acquires personality through memories.

Gu Qing remembers it vividly.

If the power of will accepted by Heaven reaches a certain amount, it is very likely that a self will be born as a result.

This is why Gu Qing listed the [Great Wish Technique] as a forbidden supernatural power; he would not pass it on to anyone, since one person's power is not enough to influence the Heavenly Dao.

If everyone cultivates this technique, they'll be waiting for the Heavenly Dao to hand them cultivation resources and feed them.

Sooner or later, the Heavenly Dao will give rise to different consciousnesses such as Azure Heaven, Blue Heaven, and Yellow Heaven, becoming variables like the Blood Sea Demon God.

At that time, the cultivation world of Cangwu will probably no longer allow ascension.

All living beings will become nourishment for the growth of the world.

Ascension Path!
The key to the existence of ascension is that only cultivators who contribute to the growth of the world can exist for a long time.

If one only knows how to plunder the essence of heaven and earth, even the most powerful world will eventually be drained. The benefits of a cultivator on the Ascension Path giving back to heaven and earth after death are far greater than the spiritual energy of heaven and earth consumed in their lifetime.

They will naturally receive the favor of Heaven.

The rise of the human race in the Cangwu cultivation world was largely due to the favor of Heaven.

The continuous emergence of exceptionally talented individuals among the human race is one manifestation of the destiny and fate of Heaven.

"With such divine power in hand, what is there to worry about in not achieving the Great Dao?" (End of Chapter)
