New concept of the mysterious way to ascend to immortality

Chapter 317 Snake Snake: When it's time to develop the goblin breeding industry on a large scale!
Yuan Zhu used the "Counter-Land Deed" of half of [Xianzhi Mountain] to implant into the soul of Bai Lu through the "Anti-Law".

Grant it a great fortune, bestow upon the white deer the identity of 'subordinate mountain god,' and use the shadow spiritual veins in the [Mountain Lord's Domain] to cleanse its fur and marrow, helping it to undergo a complete transformation.

After everything was over, Yuan Zhu used the [Anti-Law] to determine that the white deer's 'spirituality' was increasing wildly. This was not the 'artificial intelligence' gained from the [Brain Eggplant CPU], but rather a genuine qualitative change in its soul under the cleansing of the [Land Deed Supplementary Register].

This white deer was forcibly given sentience, and with the learning aids of the [Brain Eggplant], it will surely catch up with ordinary intelligent beings at a terrifying speed, becoming a genuine and irreplaceable 'monster'.

Seeing the intelligent gleam in the white deer's eyes, Yuan Zhu sent it to the neighboring [Xianzhi Mountain] to find a high-energy location to make its nest.

At the same time, four Shadow Demon Insects and two construction teams of twelve goblins were also assigned to Bailu to set off for [Xianzhi Mountain] to develop a low-budget version of the Mountain Lord's Cave: [Bailu Cave].

"From this day forward, you too are a respectable 'little mountain god'! When I'm not around, you must guard the mountain gate and mobilize the army to repel any invading enemies. Understand?"

"Yo!"

After saying this, Yuan Zhu transferred a small portion of the authority over the [Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends Formation] to the increasingly intelligent and wise Bai Lu.

Immediately afterwards, Yuan Zhu began to assign Bai Lu a number of tasks and instructions, including supervising the 'tree planting operation'.

Under its personal supervision, the eggplant spirits planted the 'Reverse-Growth Mulberry Saplings' throughout every node of the [Mountain Lord's Domain]. This added the extraordinary 'Reverse-Growth Mulberry' to the otherwise ordinary green vegetation.

Plant them throughout all the magic array nodes, allowing these otherworldly plants to draw 'shadow power' from the earth's veins and exhale spiritual energy (miasma), improving the environment in the valley and making it suitable for 'spirit insects and demon insects' to hatch and grow.

...

After giving the order, he watched the white deer head towards the neighboring Xianzhi Mountain, turning back every few steps, and then set up its cave.

Having no new ideas for the time being, Yuan Zhu decided to leave the [Mountain Lord's Domain] ahead of time. He wanted to test the signal reception between the [Gate] and the [Mountain Lord's Domain] base station along the way.

In particular, can the current Frog Factory establish a connection with the Yinshan Mountains deep within the Misty Mountains?
It should be noted that, based on a 10:1 ratio, the theoretical 'radiation range' of the [Mountain Lord's Domain] is close to a radius of 100 miles, which can cover the [Frog Factory].

The problem is that the mist in the Misty Mountains has an inherent shielding effect, greatly reducing the radiation signal from the Law Domain. Therefore, he must conduct practical tests and search for data.

Even after Yuan Zhu left the 'Yin Sha Land' and entered the nearby misty mountain area, he could still detect the strong signals of the [Yin Mountain] spreading. He could easily pass through the [Gate] and open the entrance connecting to the [Cave Heaven Space].

However, since it is far from the absolute range of the [Mountain Lord's Domain], it is impossible to move through space using the [Gate].

As he moved further and further away from the 'Yin Sha Land' and from Yin Mountain, the resistance to opening the door and entering the 'Cave Heaven Space' grew stronger.

As he reached the edge of the Misty Mountains, the resistance to opening the door increased. However, the Dharma Domain signal released by Yinshan remained clearly visible.

Yuan Zhu can remotely control the Mountain Lord's Domain deep within the mountains through the [Gate]. For example, he can issue precise commands to the white deer that is currently surveying the terrain of [Xianzhi Mountain] and searching for a new home for itself.

Furthermore, Yuan Zhu can monitor the actions of all the laborers (eggplant spirits) within the [Law Domain] by accessing the [Land Deed Menu] in his mental space. If any of them dares to slack off, he can manipulate the 'vines' connected to that eggplant spirit, unleashing intense stinging pain within its body as punishment for passive resistance!
Furthermore, he can use this remote control to precisely control rainfall in the Yinshan Mountains, adjusting the concentration of 'shadow aura' in different areas to better care for the spiritual plants (although he hasn't had time to plant them yet).
Finally, Yuan Zhu could also remotely communicate with the [Cave Heaven Space], freely retrieving resources from it and teleporting them to any location within the [Law Domain]. For example, he could deliver meals to the eggplant spirits who were working through the [Cave Heaven]; or he could teleport sealed 'Reverse-Growth Mulberry Saplings' to the goblin who had just planted a sapling.

Unfortunately, the things that can be transported by the [Cave Heaven] are limited to supplies. Laborers like the 'Eggplant Spirit' cannot be captured by the [Cave Heaven].

Aside from their insufficient quality (shadow intensity), these creatures are not vassals of the Tiger Demon, much less a familiar. They are merely a group of living beings parasitized by the Shadow Eggplant, imprisoned in the Law Domain, diligently performing menial tasks.

Because the connection wasn't close enough, even if Yuan Zhu wanted to remotely store them in his [Cave Heaven Space], he couldn't.

Only the ghosts and shadow demons who continue to diligently dig and excavate empty shells of cave dwellings within the [Mountain Lord's Domain] can be easily taken into the [Cave Heaven Space] for services such as charging and energy storage.

……

At this moment, Yuan Zhu had already left the edge of the Misty Mountains and was moving quickly towards the Frog Factory.

After leaving the mountain, it was clear that the 'Mountain Lord's Domain's' influence had long since vanished. The Frog Factory was not even within the current maximum coverage area of ​​the Domain.

However, the [Door] can still clearly connect to [Yinshan] to receive information and perform remote control.

At this moment, Snake suddenly spoke up: "Hey? Sir, I've thought of a great way to explore the world behind the [Gate]! Why not use 'Shadow Demon Worms' as cannon fodder probes to enter the world behind the [Gate] for us, explore, and gather information?"

Yuan Zhu was taken aback, thought about it seriously, and nodded in agreement that it was indeed the case!

He then praised, "Great idea! The number of [Changgui Divine Power] that can be carried is limited, but the [Mountain Lord's Domain] can contain an unlimited number of 'Changgui'. Moreover, the strength of the [Domain] increases with the number of 'Changgui', attracting death energy to converge. Unfortunately, I have a limited number of [Shadow Demon Insects] on hand, and I am temporarily unable to support 'otherworld exploration'. I need to transport another batch from the [Feathered World]." Using [Shadow Demon Insects] to explore the world behind the [Gate] without risking one's life is perfectly reasonable.

Unfortunately, he only had about twenty Shadow Giant Insects, and they were all assigned to important tasks. He didn't have a single one as cannon fodder, and he couldn't bear to waste them by throwing them into an unfamiliar world.

Snake quickly said, "It's not just [Demon Insects] that can spy and gather intelligence; all [Chang Gui] can do it! And [Insect Pillars]—we must increase our purchases! I've now summarized three paths for the growth and expansion of our [Mountain Lord's Domain]. The simplest one is to gather another 360 [Insect Pillars] and, outside the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Array, continue to nest the final [Zhou Tian Star Array], allowing the [Domain] to be perfectly upgraded!"

"According to my calculations, if this [Zhou Tian Xing Dou] can be successfully set up, the absolute control area of ​​our [Dharma Domain] will be able to encompass the entire [Cold Pool] and the surrounding thirteen mountain peaks. Once the [Zhou Tian Xing Dou] is successful, not only will the 'radiation area' to the outside world increase dramatically again, but our [Cave Heaven Space] will also continue to expand, and the 'Mountain Lord God Position' will also be elevated!"

Continuing to increase the number of [Insect Pillars], and even nesting them within the 'Celestial Constellation' formation, is indeed one of the important paths to upgrading the [Law Domain]. Unfortunately, this is also the last magic array in the [Tiger Demon Inheritance].

Once the 'Zhou Tian Xing Dou' was fully nested, his [Mountain Lord's Domain] reached its limit. After that, he could only randomly add [Insect Pillars] to increase the [Domain's] depth, but he could no longer create new [Magic Array] effects.

Unless Yuan Zhu can create an even more advanced [composite array] from scratch, encompassing [the celestial constellations + the celestial and terrestrial elements + the nine palaces and eight trigrams].

Unfortunately, Yuan Zhu lacked the necessary knowledge and only intended to stop the [Law Domain] at the final [Zhou Tian Xing Dou Array].

So he asked curiously, "What are the other two paths that allowed the [Law Domain] to grow and prosper?"

Snake: "One path is easy to take. Once the [Magic Array Size] can't be increased any further, we can refocus our attention on the individual [Insect Pillars]. The 'Demonized Giant Insect' we used to refine the [Insect Pillar Suppressing Stone] isn't that strong. Compared to the strength of the [Sanctuary], it's only at the level of 1-2 seals. If we want to further enhance the power of the [Magic Domain], we can try starting with the [Insect Pillars] and refine a higher-quality, stronger 'prey' into a new [Pillar] to replace it."

"Imagine if the eight insect pillars used to form the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams were all replaced with super human pillars of the Gate level, wouldn't the strength of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams instantly become heaven-defying? The strength of the cave space behind it would also increase dramatically! In addition to replacing them with higher-level pillars, we can also use more insect pillars of the same level to synthesize and upgrade them."

As she spoke, Snake gave a formula.

Once Yuan Zhu completes the ultimate nesting of the [360 Zhou Tian Xing Dou] formation, he can consume 12 [Insect Pillars] of the same level to strengthen and upgrade the base ([Insect Pillars]) of the 'Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Formation'.

Furthermore, each of the insect pillars in the [72 Earthly Fiends Formation] can be strengthened by combining up to 24 insect pillars!

The [36 Heavenly Gang Formation] can withstand the upgrades of 36 [Insect Pillars]. The most core [Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation] can each accommodate the combined enhancement of 60 [Insect Pillars] of its height.

This operation will require at least 7824 [Insect Pillars] of the same rank to fully elevate the [Mountain Lord's Domain] to its ultimate level!

It should be noted that the complete form of the [Mountain Lord's Domain] in the [Tiger Demon Inheritance] (Zhou Tian + Tian Gang + Di Sha + Ba Gua) is only a mere 476 [Insect Pillars]. And Yuan Zhu at this moment only has the strength of 116 [Insect Pillars].

Yuan Zhu praised, "This method is truly amazing. Just by hearing the numbers, one can imagine how terrifying the ultimate form of the [Mountain Lord's Domain] is! Moreover, every step of the [Ultimate Domain] path is grounded in reality. It's built up one [Insect Pillar] after another, so the foundation is absolutely solid."

The 'Ultimate Domain', which cost 8300 [Insect Pillars] to build, would absolutely be a 'Netherworld regime' capable of breaking through the Yin and Yang realms and establishing a separate regime in the [Immortal Dao Universe]!
The name "Mountain God" is truly fitting.

This is no 'mountain god' at all, but clearly the 'god of the sacred mountain,' more than enough to be a low-level 'Lord of Mount Tai.'

Since the second path was so formidable, Zhu Zi couldn't help but ask, "What about the third path?"

Snake: "The third path is unrelated to the development of the [Tiger Demon Inheritance]. It is to learn the local 'Grotto Heaven Mystic Methods,' choose one, and integrate it into the [Grotto Heaven Space]. We will use the local [Yellow Heaven Method] and [Kunlun Method] to continue cultivating, perfecting, and enhancing our family's [Grotto Heaven Space]."

Yuan Zhu instantly lost interest. He had already planned for this: "Absorbing the local [Cave Heaven Secret Techniques] can only be a long-term goal, requiring detailed research before careful consideration. It can't be achieved in the short term, so starting with [Insect Pillars] is more reliable. Unfortunately, 360 [Insect Pillars] far exceed the Tiger Demon's smuggling limit. Not to mention 7824 pillars, the synthetic material for the Ultimate Law Domain."

Yuan Zhu's smuggling of a large number of 'insect pillars, spiritual herbs, and spiritual plants' from the [Feathered World] into Duling Star has severely depleted all of his savings and dividends in [Pastoral Village].

If you want to recreate it again, you need to wait at least a year to accumulate enough dividends and points before you have a chance to do it again.

Even so, he managed to bring out only a little over a hundred [Insect Pillars] after exhausting all his points and resources. To gather the 360 ​​required for the [Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array], he would have to patiently wait at least two years without spending extra money.

Not to mention that completing the [Zhou Tian Xing Dou] is easy, but completing the ultimate upgrade of the [Shan Jun Fa Yu] is really: difficult! difficult!! difficult!! More than seven thousand roots, even ten years wouldn't be enough.

Yuan Zhu: "Here's the problem: it seems very difficult for me to smuggle over eight thousand [Insect Pillars] from the [Feathered World] to the [Yin Mountain] using only interdimensional smuggling. This involves a serious loss of assets from the [Bubble World]! The world's will won't allow outsiders to do this!"

Snake: "I've also considered this issue. Simply exploiting the [Feathered World] to extract 'Morphed Giant Insects' and smuggling them into the main world isn't advisable. I strongly suggest you take a two-pronged approach, Lord Lao. On one hand, cultivate the [Feathered World] deeply, raise the Morphed Giant Insects, and refine them into [Insect Pillars] to be transported out when the opportunity arises; on the other hand, focus on the real world and use local resources! Utilize the unique 'high-energy environment' of the [Mountain Lord's Domain] to cultivate new types of Morphed Giant Insects and Earth Spirits, continuously increasing their pollution intensity. Once they reach the [Human Pillar] standard, immediately refine them into [Super Goblin Town Stones] to replace the insufficient number of [Insect Pillars]. Without relying on the [Feathered World], we can still be self-sufficient."

Yuan Zhu: "Focus on cultivating goblins, feeding them polluted energy, and teaching them the [Power System (Frog Type)] to help them break through to the [Species] level, and then they can be made into [Suppressing Stones]? This is going to popularize goblin farming on a large scale within the [Law Domain]!"

Snake: "Yes! Once we succeed, we'll have an inexhaustible supply of 'goblins' to defy fate, corrupt and upgrade, reaching the same level as the demonized giant worm, and then make [Suppressing Stones]. We can then obtain a continuous stream of [Suppressing Stones] to upgrade and synthesize the [Ultimate Law Domain]! We can even refine [Chang Gui] and send them to their deaths in the world behind the [Gate]!"
