Chapter 1014 Main Mission
The arrival of the ancient full moon has further enhanced the completeness of the human world's fireworks display, and the renovation progress has also accelerated.

But as Wei Yuan gazed at this unique full moon, a feeling grew clearer and clearer: the world was not yet perfect, and an important part of the world system was still missing.

At this moment, Wei Yuan looked down at the entire world of human life, and what was missing was self-evident: the sun.

This seems like an impossible task, but once completed, the world system will be more complete than ever before, taking us directly to which stage of Yujing... Wei Yuan himself couldn't say for sure.

Wei Yuan discovered that his current cultivation method seemed to deviate significantly from the mainstream cultivation system. This wasn't a major problem; he could consult the immortals later. If there weren't enough human immortals, there were still Heavenly Witches. The bigger question now was: where did the sun come from?
There seemed to be a faint path before Wei Yuan: if the great cultivators of the human race in ancient times could cultivate to become the moon, then could there also be those who cultivated to become the sun? If so, then where is that sun now?
Such a large object is an excellent target for celestial techniques, and it's not easy to hide. If no one masters it, then Wei Yuan's opportunity will arrive.

Wei Yuan wasn't very ambitious and didn't intend to emulate the ancients by cultivating a true sun, leaving others with no sun to dream of.

Wei Yuan plans to cultivate the Great Sun True Meaning. In the mortal world, one immortal object containing the Great Sun True Meaning as the foundation of his grotto-heaven is almost enough.

As for the orbit of the Sixth Heavenly Cave, Wei Yuan abandoned the idea of ​​calculating it himself. To actually calculate the orbit of the Sixth Heavenly Cave, he would probably have to devour Chapter Nine of the Initial Exploration of the Desolate Realm, which is equivalent to reading the entire book. The first nine chapters are mathematical tools, while Chapter Ten is the conclusion, using these tools to explain what the Desolate Realm truly is—it's only three pages long.

Wei Yuan now has a full understanding of himself, so he plans to turn the Sixth Heaven's orbit into a separable task and send it to the mortal realm for calculation. If the mortal realm can't calculate it either, then Wei Yuan plans to use his luck to forcefully create an orbit.

With the plan now finalized, Wei Yuan's thoughts stirred slightly, and thus, subtle changes began to occur in the everyday life of ordinary people.

In the city, some ordinary people have transformed into burly women. Armed with basins and rags, they sweep everywhere, and anyone caught scribbling on the walls is immediately apprehended and sent to an overseas island to grow sugarcane. These women have piercing eyes and keen senses, able to trace the writer's handwriting back to three days prior. Moreover, they are quite formidable fighters, easily outmatched by even the young men of the Holy Temple.

Wei Yuan felt that the mortals in the mundane world lacked pressure, and going against the Creator Immortal had almost become a kind of political correctness. It was as if one couldn't show their individuality without cursing the Immortal.

So Wei Yuan casually increased their strength, letting these mortals know that everything that is right has its price.

Wei Yuan had initially intended to demonstrate his magnanimity and tolerance, refusing to hold a grudge. However, the less he retaliated, the more stifled he felt. This ordeal with Zhang Sheng had taught Wei Yuan many lessons, especially the paramount importance of a clear and transparent Dao heart. Those who obstruct their Dao heart must be tormented, starved, and emptied, their actions disrupted and corrupted…

As a result, when the group of middle-aged women appeared, Wei Yuan's Dao heart indeed became much clearer. He then laughed three times and left the mortal world.

After Wei Yuan left, in a small courtyard in the central city, the two girls who had been as still as stone finally came to life. Xi He, looking puzzled, asked the woman who was rushing around, "What is this?"

The young girl Yin Yang was also completely bewildered, saying, "I don't know. It's just that this thing seems to be related to his Dao heart, and he felt much better after seeing them."

At this moment, the fake monk Lian Deng came out of the room, carrying a tea tray, and served each of the two girls a cup of tea. He was a talkative person, and casually remarked, "It seems that the Immortal Venerable has a particular fondness for this."

……

Having left the mundane world behind, and with time no longer of great urgency, Wei Yuan carefully examined the two boundary stones. Both boundary stones were of celestial quality, but each only had a range of five thousand miles, and each possessed only one wondrous and unique characteristic, far inferior to Qingming.

Mirror Lake, primarily a water element, is best suited for planting in areas with abundant water vapor. After a long period of natural transformation, multiple lakes will emerge, including a unique spiritual lake. The lake is filled with blue lotuses, and its banks are lined with spiritual trees, all of unique varieties. Its scenery is unparalleled; Wei Yuan immediately took a liking to it, thinking it would be perfect for retirement. As for Life-Generating Flowers, as the name suggests, they are primarily wood-elemental, forming natural spiritual forests and medicinal gardens, also suitable for raising spiritual beasts. If used for farming, only spiritual rice would be suitable; ordinary rice would be a waste.

Having learned the purpose of the two boundary stones, Wei Yuan went to Zhang Sheng's residence.

The original county government office had been completely destroyed, and Wei Yuan had arranged for people to clear the ruins over the past two days, so he decided to build a fully functional city lord's mansion instead. During this time, he and Zhang Sheng temporarily stayed in a small courtyard next door.

The courtyard was small, with only two sections. When Wei Yuan entered, Zhang Sheng was in the study, meditating and practicing swordsmanship. Dressed in plain clothes, with her black hair hanging down, her slightly pale face was gently caressed by a ray of sunlight. Upon seeing Wei Yuan enter, she did not open her eyes, but merely raised her chin slightly.

Wei Yuan walked over and gently kissed her cheek, right where the dappled sunlight had settled. The kiss was soft and gentle, the warmth of the sunlight mingling with her scent, creating a unique fragrance. Wei Yuan couldn't resist kissing her again. Zhang Sheng's eyes slightly opened, her feathery eyelashes fluttering, leaving a smiling, ambiguous shadow on her eyelids.

Wei Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

Then she continued using the Mind-Nourishing Sword Technique, while Wei Yuan opened a map on his desk and began to plan the uses of the numerous boundary stones he possessed, referring to a high-precision map. Wei Yuan intended to use all seven or eight boundary stones he had obtained from the Ji Kingdom in the mountain tribes' territories outside the original Ji Kingdom. With so many boundary stones, he could plan ahead from the beginning, striving to maximize the effectiveness of each stone, and incidentally, also occupy the vast territory that originally belonged to the mountain tribes.

Once this region is planned, cities can be built, fields can be cultivated, and people can be settled. Qingming now has a complete set of standardized development procedures, which have been specifically optimized for mountain dwellers. This place is different from the Witch Domain; it produces less grain and has inconvenient transportation, but it is rich in forestry and minerals. In the future, it will focus on industry, and food and medicinal herbs will be self-sufficient. Wei Yuan still plans to make Qingming the main grain-producing area.

In a few decades, this place will become more prosperous than ever before, faintly resembling the splendor of the outer world. Wei Yuan is very ambitious, planning to support at least hundreds of millions of mortals in this region, plus Qing Ming, totaling one billion.

This is a nation of a billion widely forged beings, with common literacy and template cultivators everywhere. In fact, because of the sheer number of template cultivators, and their unique existence in Qingming, Wei Yuan plans to group them together as "middle-class templates." The widespread presence of middle-class templates will become a symbol of Qingming's prosperity.

Wei Yuan quietly made his plans, and before he knew it, the moon was high in the sky. Zhang Sheng finished his training in the Mind-Nourishing Sword Technique, came up behind Wei Yuan, patted his shoulder from behind, and asked, "Why not leave it to mortals?"

Wei Yuan shook his head and said, "How can such an important matter be handed over to a group of guys who have never handled similar matters before and only solve problems by breaking down and combining tasks? What if they make a mistake if we don't figure it out ourselves?"

Zhang Sheng nodded slightly: "That makes sense. Now that Liu Miao has just fallen, the Ji Kingdom is vulnerable, and it is the perfect time to wage war on all fronts. You should go and do your work; you don't need to stay here with me."

Wei Yuan said, "Although Liu Miao is dead, the other side probably still has a backup plan. Besides, given Prince Ji's temperament, he would never obediently relinquish power. Moving him would lose our moral standing and would inevitably invite backlash from the nine kingdoms. Right now, the other side is probably waiting for me to attack, so I will deliberately stay put."

We now control a vast territory encompassing the eight commanderies of southern Shanxi, the entire state of Zhao, and the state of Ji. Our immediate priority is to effectively manage and integrate this region, ensuring that the people within our borders truly enjoy unprecedented prosperity. Only then can we show the world that ordinary people are not limited to a life of poverty and destitution, only able to afford meat at the end of the year.

Zhang Sheng nodded and said, "I am a sword cultivator by nature, and I am indeed a bit impatient."

Wei Yuan smiled and turned around, pulling Zhang Sheng into his arms. He lowered his head and buried his face in the soft crook of her neck, inhaling her scent, and whispered, "So my main mission during this time is: to stay with you."

　P.S.: I didn't manage to roll it today, I'll roll it tomorrow.
