New concept of the mysterious way to ascend to immortality

Chapter 293 [Huang Tian Fa] and the New Exchange

Now that he was at [Happy Home], Yuan Zhu had no intention of leaving immediately.

From point 3, we've learned that the land deed and the landowner aren't really some kind of unexpected windfall.

Saying it happens every moment might be an exaggeration, but from the macroscopic perspective of [Du Ling], every day and every hour, new [land deeds] are being created on this planet.

Some of these land deeds appear naturally; however, most are man-made. For example, the Industrial Pantheon and the Kunlun Earth Immortals both have a mandatory need for land. Without condensing land deeds and obtaining the status of a landowner, cultivation cannot proceed.

Furthermore, many extraterrestrial demons not from 'Duling Star' also have a strong need for [land]. They will try to contact extraordinary individuals (believers/users) in the real world through methods such as dreams, faith projection, and face-to-face meetings on the [Lunar Sea], and entrust them with obtaining [land deeds] to establish their own churches, flagship stores, and temples on earth...

In short, Yuan Zhu's unexpected acquisition of a land deed that wasn't of much value was due to both luck and his own abilities.

The [Yinshan Cold Pool] he chose was inherently a 'polluted depression' with great potential. Later, the [White Bone Scholar] conducted evil experiments there, further accelerating the formation of this 'spiritual land'.

However, the Lich's chosen path of truth was not a good fit for his profession, and he had no plans to develop the land in depth, nor did he build any structures like the Mage Tower to activate the hidden Landlord Mode, before dying quickly.

Thus, this 'land' has been passively developing, waiting for the day when a new owner will reap the rewards.

Finally, the Tiger Demon arrived and unleashed a [Mountain Lord's Domain] that directly penetrated his soul, awakening the dormant potential of this 'Yin Sha Land' and helping him achieve his goal of obtaining the identity of [Land Deed + Landlord] in one fell swoop.

...

While analyzing his own situation, Yuan Zhu also made sure to purchase a large amount of basic knowledge about the Industrial System, Kunlun Dao, and Huangtian Dao from the Exchange List.

This content does not involve true knowledge of extraordinary cultivation. It stops at the level of encyclopedic explanations, which is basic common sense for well-informed and experienced extraordinary individuals, hence the low price.

After reading through the three documents, he gained a new understanding of the three systems that were most adept at utilizing the "landlord" position.

Regardless of the company, in the process of developing the land, they will gradually increase the energy intensity contained in the land and expand its radiating scale. This stage is called "blessing land transformation" by Yuan Zhu.

Ultimately, after breaking a certain limit, this "blessed land" will experience a phenomenon of "self-collapse and inward shrinkage," cutting itself off from the real world and forming a closed, independent spacetime. Zhu Zi named this stage "Cave Heaven Transformation."

The so-called "Industrial Divine Kingdom" involves selecting a new site and building factories. The factory workshops will gradually accumulate "steam pollution and alchemy pollution," radiating and distorting the land to bring about more efficient production capacity. Alternatively, products may be enchanted at a lower cost... and then sold through commercial channels to continuously harvest "brand influence (a variant of faith power)" from the external consumer market.

Ultimately, these positive feedbacks, along with proactive pollution remediation, will continuously increase the pollution intensity of the land. Whether proactive or not, they will condense into land deeds and land ownership status, and combined with their own brand divinity, they will ascend to become an "industrial evil god."

During the 'blessed land' stage, the land, as a medium, can withstand pollution concentrations far exceeding the 'ascension impulse,' protecting the 'landowner' from being rejected by the real world, allowing them to stay forcibly without 'ascension.'

However, when the land exceeds the carrying capacity of the 'blessed land,' the factory will passively collapse and shrink, becoming what is known as the 'Industrial Divine Kingdom,' and will be kicked out of the mortal world. It may either escape into the 'Spirit Realm' or enter the 'Foam Realm' to wander.

At this time, the ruins of the earthly land stripped of the [Evil God's Factory] still exist. Furthermore, they maintain intricate and secretive connections with the now-ascended [Industrial God Kingdom].

The industrial supply chain and sales network of the [Industrial Evil God] in the human realm will not ascend accordingly. Instead, company executives will rebuild factories, open headquarters, or construct flagship stores in this location. This place will serve as a sacred ground for companies, facilitating communication and exchange with the ascended [Industrial Divine Kingdom]...

Thus, the trinity is complete!
The Industrial Kingdom, suspended in an unknown dimension, continues to produce. Although its human headquarters has lost the 'Blessed Land Enhancement,' the 'Land Deeds' remain in the hands of the Industrial God, serving as its anchor point to the human world and the company's headquarters there. Eventually, the Industrial God will travel to more 'Foam Worlds and Other Dimensions' to expand its business, gather new 'Land Deeds,' and establish an anchor with the Industrial Kingdom.

...

As for the [Huangtiandao and Kunlundao], they are similar to, yet different from, the [Industrial Divine Kingdom].

The once-prosperous [Huangtiandao] was very similar to the [Shanjunfayu] of the Tiger Demon, and its opening principles were divided into [Dao Gu Pian and Li Miao Pian].

When people first enter the Huangtian Daoist path, they focus on forging their own physical constitution and enhancing their cultivation. As they gradually enter the Dao and master 'magical power (Huangtian pollution),' they will wander around doing good deeds, healing the sick and saving people... accumulating merit.

After accumulating merit and fame, they will cultivate themselves while building temples (land god temples) and enshrining statues (golden bodies), gradually influencing the surrounding area and becoming the "land god".

In the process of worshipping the Earth God, Huang Tian Dao Ren (a Taoist priest) will use the Huang Tian Dao method to condense and refine the land deed, and combine it with the temple. He will then bestow upon the 'golden body' of the Earth God he worships the status of the Earth Lord, gradually transforming him into the Earth God.

The Kunlun Path is divided into five different branches: Heaven, Earth, Human, Ghost, and God. Among them, the Earth Immortal of Fortune and Virtue focuses on finding a superior spiritual land to plant one's innate spiritual root. This spiritual root will take root and expand in the land, eventually merging with the land and playing a role similar to the Earth God of the Yellow Heaven, protecting the region and ensuring good weather and abundant harvests.

Those extraordinary systems that do not rely on 'land' sometimes do not rush to form a 'land deed' when faced with a superior 'spiritual land', but instead choose to occupy it first and maintain the status quo.

Once the land deed is formed, the ownership of this 'land' will be noted on 'Duling Star'. At this point, the 'land' itself will spontaneously send out signals, attracting many uninvited guests.

Only extraordinary systems specializing in 'land management', such as the [Industrial System, Kunlun Path, and Huangtian Path], can effectively develop, protect, and utilize the power of 'land' to repel external enemies and safeguard the foundation.

Those extraordinary individuals who do not rely on 'land' will be implicated in the 'ownership' of their land once they possess a 'land deed', unless they actively sell it.

This is probably why the "White Bone Scholar" had already transformed and cultivated a 'yin and evil land' long ago, but had not registered and occupied it for a long time.

Snake: "This [Yellow Heaven Path] looks remarkably similar to our [Mountain Lord]!"

Yuan Zhu also looked disappointed: "There are many differences in the details, but the main direction is the same. I thought that the [Mountain Lord's Domain] was some unique skill that could help me get ahead of other superhumans in the area. But now it seems that the [Mountain Lord's Domain] is probably far inferior to the more mature and complete [Yellow Heaven Path, Kunlun Path, Industrial God System]."

The logic is simple: the [Mountain Lord's Domain] is merely a low-level [Tiger Demon Legacy] within the [Immortal Dao Universe]. It was captured, killed, and had its [Tiger Demon Spiritual Root] extracted by intruders from the [Rune Technology Universe] and used to create [Advanced Spyware].

The upper limit of the [Mountain Lord's Secret Technique] is that it is a 'Demon King's inheritance' that connects Yin and Yang among all living beings in the immortal world. It has no background, no lineage, and its upper limit is already set.

The true top-tier inheritances of the 'Immortal World' would never be taken in by the 'Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture' to act as spies and infiltrators; instead, they would be intercepted and privately seized by the higher-ups of the 'Technological Universe' and consumed internally.

In contrast, the Industrial System, the Yellow Heaven Path, and the Kunlun Path are all well-established brands on the Duling Star, with numerous users (cultivators). They have continuously innovated and improved with each generation, and have complete advancement paths. Even the Kunlun Mother Tree (Peach Tree), which has remained in the mortal realm and has been unable to ascend, is so stubbornly persistent that Yuan Zhu boldly guesses its spiritual land covers a small part of the Eternal Continent, making it a true holdout, unable to ascend even a little bit.

Imagine viewing the entire [Duling Star] as a blessed land in a flowerpot. How could the mother peach tree collapse on its own? Would you simply package up 'Duling Star' and turn it into a portable paradise, a wandering planet?!

Everything seems to be gradually making sense?

Snake: "So, our current [Mountain Lord Quasi-Law Domain] is already a half-step blessed land, enough to resist the [Ascension Impulse] and protect the region? Then, does this mean it can conceal the heavenly secrets of Little Tang and A-Tiao?"

Yuan Zhu nodded: "Indeed, it can serve as a protective shield for illegal immigrants from other worlds. If [Haunted House] can conceal their information, [Law Domain] can certainly do it even better."

Snake: "Could we transfer some of the [Landlord's] authority to [Anti-Law] and then further project it onto them? In this way, the True Man wouldn't need to enter the 'Law Domain' for refuge, but could remotely share a bit of the [Landlord God's] power through [Anti-Law] to obscure the secrets of heaven?"

Yuan Zhu thought for a moment: "You mean, to reverse-package and mortgage the [land deeds, the local deity, and the mountain lord's domain] to the [anti-law], and then use the special characteristics of the [anti-law] to lease out the power of the [local deity]?"

Snake: "That's right. Anyway, 10% of [Tiger Demon] has already been mortgaged (sold) to [Anti-Law]. As long as [Tiger Demon] successfully takes office as [Landlord God], then the 10% authority representing [Landlord God] will automatically flow into [Anti-Law.Fund Pool]."

Yuan Zhu: "It's feasible."

Standing before the exchange pillar, after a moment's thought, he added a batch of inferior small pumpkins, two sword blessings, and an even larger quantity of Yellow Heaven Path Basic Knowledge from the exchange list.

The inferior 'Spatial Pumpkin' has extremely small internal storage space, even less than the gifts given to VIP customers by the Star Bank. It is only slightly larger than an adult's fist, and its size is compressed to a diameter of 3cm.

The reason for choosing this defective product is because it's the cheapest. The "Power of the Sassy Cup" isn't lacking in pumpkins, but rather in the 'ash' left after burning them. Whether it's a top-quality pumpkin or a low-quality one, the ash produced is similar.

The internal sealed space of the [Holy Beaker] is only related to the strength and quantity of the [Holy Seal. Sanctuary], and the pumpkin ash is merely a casting medium.

Therefore, purchasing low-quality pumpkins from the Gods' Space over a long period is extremely cost-effective and profitable. However, if one could master the aliens' (Astral Plant Race) [Space Pumpkin Cultivation Technology], then the cost could be reduced to the absolute minimum!

...

As for the two [Sword Blessings], these are the introductory blessings for becoming a 'Sword Immortal'. It was by purchasing this enhancement that Lü Rang was able to successfully embark on the 'Path of the Pipe Wrench Sword Immortal'.

He has now purchased two sets at a low price, which are just right to be used with the two Deer-Head Swords.

Yuan Zhu plans to remove the two parasitic swords from Bai Lu's body after returning to the mortal world. Later, he intends to select two suitable test subjects, equip them with the [Sword's Blessing], and personally train them into two [Sword Cultivators]. He might even include them in the [Anti-Law. Superhero (Test Subject) Group] to closely monitor and collect their 'cultivation data'.

...

The purpose of purchasing "Huang Tiandao: Basic Knowledge" is to gain a deeper understanding of the unique worldview of "Huang Tiandao Ren" and the use of "Land Temple" and "Land Deeds, Landlord's Status".

He is now considered a half-step [Landlord God (native) + Mountain Lord (Immortal Scripture)], and he feels that his advancement path is very similar to that of [Yellow Heaven Remnants], so he plans to learn from their strengths and make up for his weaknesses.

More importantly, the [Holy Mark] he possesses has a very deep connection with [Holy Light. Taihuangdao].

If the [Holy Mark] hadn't been formatted by the [Immortal Scripture] at the cost of 1% contamination during the initial imprinting, he would already be a disciple of the [Taihuang Path], having been marked by the [Taihuang Path] long ago as the [Soul Crystal] condensed.

If, after death, a 'brother' lends a hand and performs a 'Holy Light Resurrection Spell' on him, then during the resurrection process, the [Soul Crystal] will travel along the [Holy Light Network Path] of the [Tai Zodiac Path] to be resurrected, further imprinting it with the [Tai Zodiac Path] tag.

What is 【Taihuangdao】? It's a branch of 【Huangtian】 opened within the 【Sanctuary】!
Therefore, Yuan Zhu felt that he had a very deep connection with [Huang Tian]. Even without following the [Shadow System (Mountain Lord's Domain)], he could still access and cultivate the [Huang Tian Law] through the [Holy Light System].

Therefore, there's no harm in learning more about the remnants of the Yellow Heaven. You can even use the Holy Light to filter it out, extract its essence, and integrate it into your own Land God (Earth) to optimize the divine power of the Mountain Lord's Domain.

Snake: "Boss, your idea is correct! We should steal the strengths of everyone, integrate them into the [Boss Template], and make minor innovations!"

At the end of his shopping spree, Yuan Zhu clicked on the [Immortal Exchange Category] and stared blankly at the dazzling array of [Spirit Seeds].

He intended to exchange a 'spiritual seed' for the White Deer to help it embark on the path of a wandering immortal. His goal was simple: to further amplify its ability to 'guard and manage the medicinal fields'.

Become a mountain-guarding spirit beast with maximum good looks and a herbalist administrator.

Unfortunately, he still didn't know which type of medicinal herbs were suitable for planting in the [Yin Sha Land], so he couldn't select the corresponding 'spiritual seeds' for each herb. At the same time, he thought of [Kunlun Earth Immortal], and his resolve wavered.

"Snake, do you think it's possible to cultivate the White Deer into a 'Blessed Earth Immortal' and plant its natal spiritual root in my 'Dharma Domain' for overlapping amplification?"

He thought of the Reverse Tree in the Feathered World, perhaps cultivating a Shadow Earth Immortal could add spiritual energy to the Law Domain and continue the siblings' Qi Refining Technique?
Snake shook his head: "I'm not optimistic. The Mountain Lord and the Earth Immortal share the same land. It seems like there's a synergistic effect, but won't there be disputes and conflicts over the ownership of the land? As the Earth Immortal system grows, your land deed will be affected and corrupted by the other party, resulting in a second 'owner's name'?"

"If you suppress your opponent and unilaterally reap the spiritual energy boost from the [Earth Immortal], then the [Earth Immortal]'s status is destined to be far inferior to that of the [Mountain Lord]. Therefore, the quantity and quality of the increased spiritual energy will not be very high. Can such spiritual energy support the Xiao Tang siblings' advancement and their attempt to break through to the [Heavenly Rank]?"

Because the Earth Immortal's power was suppressed, the quality of the spiritual energy circulation created by the spiritual root was poor. Furthermore, the spiritual energy needed by the siblings as leaders of the Anti-Law Group was far beyond what a mere Anti-Law Group member could provide.

After lingering in the [Exchange List] for a moment, Yuan Zhu closed it with tears in his eyes. He wanted so much, but his pockets were empty; his wealth had all been spent on his two siblings and on smuggling goods from the Bubble World.

"It seems that once the [Law Domain] is completed, I need to go on a mission as soon as possible to save up some money."

Carrying a small box of low-quality space pumpkins, Yuan Zhu bid farewell to Number 3 and returned to the Underworld Blessed Land to continue perfecting his [Law Domain].
