The Heaven-shattering: I and Wu Shi compete for the throne

Chapter 417 Human Evolution of Terrain and Mineral Veins
Furthermore, given the natural talents of his parents, grandparents, and other close relatives in the Li family, it would be difficult for them to achieve enlightenment through unconventional means.

He also planned to transform them into Holy Spirits. After hundreds of thousands or millions of years of nurturing, they would be able to break through to the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor, and their aptitude, potential, and comprehension would be greatly improved.

Based on this calculation, the Divine Ruins will need to nurture at least a dozen or twenty Holy Spirits in the future, and there will be more than a hundred Quasi-Emperors who will seal themselves and slumber within the Divine Ruins.

As for the Undying Mountain, it was prepared by him for Xia Qinghuang, Jiang Qianxi and the other women.

Currently, fifteen of them have achieved enlightenment through unconventional means. After he opens up the myriad paths of heaven and earth, he will surely be able to prove himself as an emperor. With his help, they have a good chance of living out their third and fourth lives, but it will be difficult for them to successfully navigate the mortal immortal path. Tens of thousands of years later, they will also need to reverse their transformation into holy spirits.

As for those who did not achieve the alternative path to enlightenment, when their lifetime was nearing its end, he would use divine essence to seal them away.

However, in the time to come, and in the future, there may be more people who turn to alternative paths to enlightenment and need to be converted by the Holy Spirit.

With the extraordinary power of the Undying Mountain and the Divine Ruins, nurturing several Holy Spirits would naturally be a piece of cake.

However, even if the Undying Mountain and the Divine Ruins were the primordial immortal lands of the universe, it would be difficult to nurture more than a dozen or twenty Holy Spirits.

Although we can find a solution later, it's better to find a solution now than to be caught off guard and scrambling to deal with it when the time comes.

He extracted the unclaimed, top-grade dragon veins he had discovered in the universe and incorporated them into the Undying Mountain and the Divine Ruins.

Li Daoming then extracted the Chaos Heavenly Emperor's blood accumulated over the years and refined eighteen Chaos Spine Dragons, using them to evolve the earth's dragon veins.

It alters the terrain and combines with numerous earth veins to form a unique landscape where heaven and earth intertwine, yin and yang are in harmony, and it can generate endless vitality and life force.

It also reserves many spaces that can be further integrated into and derived from the earth's dragon veins, making the terrain here even stronger.

He then continued to set up formations, combining them with the grand scheme of mountains, rivers, heaven and earth. These formations could connect with the inner chaos, transporting the chaotic primordial energy transformed from the myriad worlds, gathering and transforming the essence of heaven and earth, and generating more dragon veins on the earth.

It took Li Daoming more than a decade to complete the transformation of the Undying Mountain and the Divine Ruins.

At this moment, looking at the completed Undying Mountain and Divine Ruins, Li Daoming was very satisfied.

The original Undying Mountain and the Divine Ruins were first-class primordial immortal lands in the universe, no less than the Kunlun Immortal Land, and now they have surpassed the Kunlun Immortal Land by a whole level.

He also moved three immortal gold veins and some treasure lands that could produce rare items over there.

With the terrain formations he set up and the boundless chaotic energy, the speed at which immortal gold and rare items are produced will be much faster.

After doing all this, Li Daoming took out the twelve Wuji Dao Discs and ten Yin-Yang Taiji Diagrams that he had been nurturing in his body, and placed them in Wandao Star and Shenxu respectively for further development.

With nothing else to do, Li Daoming continued his plan to travel to all the ancient life-bearing planets and the origins of life.

Starting from the Purple Star Emperor, one can comprehend the profound laws contained within numerous ancient life stars and the origins of life.

It must be said that traveling to many ancient life-bearing planets and cradles of life gave Li Daoming a great surprise.

Many powerful ancient life-bearing planets, such as Ziwei, Gouchen, Huosang, Feixian, and Honghuang, have nurtured immortal metals and some rare treasures that caught his attention. Even some less powerful ancient life-bearing planets and life-sources have rare creations. Those immortal metals, rare treasures, and creations are mostly hidden very deep, protected by naturally formed terrain fields that can prevent them from being discovered.

But when faced with his unreasonable use of Yin and Yang to cover and shroud the entire ancient star of life, this source of life, all the concealment failed.

While some things can indeed block the Yin-Yang Heaven and Earth's investigation, it doesn't matter if they can't block it or not; if they can, then he will have to go there in person.

Even the most powerful and unique terrain couldn't block his gaze when he personally went there.

Moreover, having grasped the mysteries of many strange terrains, Li Daoming gained considerable insight into heaven and earth, the world, creation, and even the three thousand laws.

Furthermore, it can combine Yin and Yang with the universe to create many unique terrains and nurture many rare treasures, including even immortal gold.

To this end, Li Daoming also altered the landscape of the Undying Mountain and the Divine Ruins, artificially creating more than a dozen immortal gold veins in an attempt to achieve immortal gold freedom.

However, his idea was not realized in the end. It wasn't that there was a problem with the immortal gold vein he evolved that prevented it from producing immortal gold, but rather that the rate at which immortal gold was produced was too slow.

Even in unparalleled treasure lands like the Undying Mountain and the Divine Ruins, the yield of each immortal gold vein is extremely low. According to his estimate, it might not be possible to produce even one square meter of immortal gold in two hundred thousand years.

Moreover, this was in the Undying Mountain and the Divine Ruins. He also artificially created one or two immortal gold veins and some terrains that could nurture special treasures on some ancient life stars and the source of life, in order to make up for the immortal gold and treasures he took away.

But according to his estimate, those immortal gold veins would take at least 400,000 to 500,000 years, and at most several million years, to produce a single piece of immortal gold.

Although Li Daoming felt somewhat regretful about this, upon reflection, he wasn't surprised.

If the production of immortal gold were higher, it wouldn't be so rare and precious, and some ancient emperors wouldn't have to wait until after they attained enlightenment to gather the ultimate immortal materials needed to forge imperial weapons.

Moreover, although he could not artificially evolve immortal gold veins to produce large quantities of immortal gold and achieve immortal gold freedom, after traveling to many ancient life-bearing planets and the source of life in the universe, he had become extremely wealthy in terms of immortal gold.

He found immortal gold in many ancient life stars and cradles of life, such as Ziwei, Gouchen, Huosang, and Feixian.

Although some ancient life-bearing stars and life-originating sites contained only a small amount of immortal gold, more than one cubic meter of immortal gold was obtained in more than a dozen places, and in total, more than forty cubic meters of immortal gold were obtained.

He felt that he might have already plundered more than 70% of the immortal gold produced by the universe.

Moreover, this figure takes into account the Chaos Immortal Land and some special secret places; otherwise, it wouldn't be 70%, but 90% or even more.

He felt that the ancient emperors born in the next few hundred thousand years, unless they had exceptionally high luck, might find it difficult to gather enough immortal gold to forge an ultimate imperial weapon.

With so much immortal gold, he can now not only provide each of his unorthodox Dao-cultivating subordinates with a piece of immortal gold to forge their artifacts, but also has the capacity to forge two or three more immortal artifacts.

However, he did not intend to refine two or three more immortal artifacts. He only planned to refine as many Wuji Dao Discs and Yin-Yang Taiji Diagrams as there were types of immortal metals.

He was confident that the Wuji Dao Disc and Yin Yang Taiji Diagram, which gathered all the immortal gold in the Shrouding Heaven Universe, would definitely become the strongest immortal artifact in the world.
