The God of Heavens

Chapter 322 Development of Yao Guang
In the northern part of the Eastern Wilderness, a stone forest sits amidst mountains, its terrain uneven and crisscrossing. In front, vast stone mountains and towering rocks stand, covering an expansive area.

This is the territory of the Stone Clan, one of the ten most ferocious clans in the Big Dipper. They are infamous for their ferocity, and if they disagree, they will fight to the death. They are extremely bloodthirsty towards humans.

Of course, all of that is in the past. Since the battle outside the Big Dipper, all things in the primordial era have been defeated, and this race has been completely wiped out by the human race, and it was the ancient royal family that did it.

Above the stone forest, a domain gate appeared, and Lin Yu, several ancient royal family Great Saints, and the Supreme Elder of the Yao Guang Holy Land emerged and appeared here.

Looking out, the once vast stone forest area, which seemed to stretch endlessly, was now filled with deep abysses and ravines, clearly indicating the presence of a great battle, with countless stone creature corpses lying scattered about.

This once infamous forbidden land is now deathly silent, littered with blood and fire.

Lin Yu's eyes flashed like lightning, and he discovered that although this place had suffered a great battle and appeared desolate on the surface, deep within the earth, a dragon vein still lay dormant, waiting for the long years to restore this sacred land.

However, this contradicted Lin Yu's idea. The ancient race of Beidou Ancient Star had been lying low, with no conflicts arising, and it was time for them to enter the stage of farming and development.

The places chosen by the ten fierce clans all have dragon veins converging and are imbued with the essence of heaven and earth, which is why they can seal themselves off in these places. The ancient clans above have been destroyed, so naturally they should be taken over by Yao Guang.

However, waiting for it to recover naturally is too inefficient, so it is the ancient clans' great saints who have to step in.

After all, in this world, cultivators are the primary productive force.

If this place can be properly restored and its spiritual beauty restored, it can not only create more blessed lands for spiritual practice, but also provide a place for ordinary people to live in the surrounding areas. In just a few decades, the population of this place is expected to increase many times over.

The monks could use their skills to cultivate land, improve crop varieties, and increase grain production, thereby expanding the population base.

In this way, the power of faith and aspiration will be greatly increased, and at the same time, Yaoguang will be able to attract more talented people.

New cultivators are constantly emerging, their overall cultivation level is improving day by day, and the speed at which their will power accumulates will also be faster and faster.

This is undoubtedly a virtuous cycle with multiple benefits and interconnected links, and can be described as a tremendous good thing!
All of this was done without Lin Yu having to lift a finger. With the ancient clan's great saints at his beck and call, using the ancient clan's saints to enhance the human race's strength was the best possible outcome.

"Lord Lin, we are about to make our move," Great Sage Yanqi said, bowing respectfully.

As Lin Yu nodded in agreement, the Great Sage Yanqi immediately made his move, gently pulling the sky upwards, and instantly countless starlight bombarded down, filling the sky with stars and almost obscuring the sun's brilliance.

A sky full of stars appeared, and vast expanses of starlight, like snow-white clouds, gently fell down, creating a beautiful scene that made the entire ancient land of the Stone Clan appear sacred.

Under the boundless starlight, the evil aura and resentment left behind after the extermination of the clan were washed away.

"I hate it!" Suddenly, a ferocious resentment soared into the sky, coming from the deceased ancestral king of the Stone Clan.

The Stone Clan is infamous for its ferocity, so naturally it has an ancient sage overseeing it; otherwise, how could it be worthy of being called a royal clan?

"You ancient royal family will die a horrible death!"

The ancestors of the Stone Clan were powerful beings born from the union of a Holy Spirit and an ancient clan. Through intermarriage with various clans over the generations, they developed into a large and powerful clan.

The war that wiped out the clan resulted in countless deaths, and the resentment they harbored was so strong that it could cause harm for a thousand years if it were not specifically dealt with.

"How dare you, a mere remnant of the spirit, cause trouble!" Great Sage Yanqi sneered and said, "Lord Lin, this stone forest has been imbued with the divine power of the Stone Clan for countless years, making it comparable to divine materials."

"With the Myriad Stars Gathering Blessing Qilin Sacred Technique, I will draw upon stellar power to condense a stone forest, forging it into a divine city. I can even transform this entire land into a sacred domain, forging an unshakeable foundation for eternity."

Yan Qi went to great lengths for the future of his clan. Since their ancient imperial weapon was still in Lin Yu's hands, they could only submit and act subserviently.

His body stood in mid-air, and with a grab of his large hand, the stars trembled and boundless magical power surged. The starlight of the sky condensed and actually refined the entire stone forest.

The jagged rocks, tempered by the power of the stars, gradually melted and reformed, transforming into towering city walls. A magnificent divine city was rapidly taking shape.

The Supreme Elders of the Yao Guang Holy Land stood behind Lin Yu, trembling as they gazed at this earth-shattering method.

The might of the Great Sage is terrifying!
Perhaps only their holy lord can make these people obedient.

The essence of the stars was continuously refined, eventually transforming into radiant liquid starlight, which cast the entire divine city into a crystal-clear state.

The city is shrouded in a serene and enchanting atmosphere, drawing in the stars and moon and radiating a captivating glow.

The Great Sage Yanqi moved about in all directions, his massive hands covering the sky and tearing apart the stars, unleashing his ultimate techniques that dazzled the onlookers.

Lin Yu witnessed this exquisite scene and nodded in approval. He then gestured to the other Great Saints of the ancient clans, his meaning clear: Yan Qi had set an example for them, and they could not be inferior to him.

There are still nine more fierce clan territories waiting for them!
The Great Sages nodded in agreement, but whether they were inwardly cursing Yan Qi for being inhuman was none of their concern.

The crystalline divine city, absorbing the divine materials from the entire Stone Clan's lands and those personally provided by Yan Qi, is constantly changing.
In the blink of an eye, strands of starlight began to seep into the soil, creating a pure land.

This Great Sage Yanqi has really gone all out; he's willing to pay any price to make his future life easier.

As the starlight permeated the surface soil, even the soil dozens of feet underground began to transform.

Seeing this, the Great Sage Yanqi exerted his power once more, and a phantom of a 100,000-foot-tall Qilin appeared. With a roar, the Milky Way was reversed, and starlight rained down, cleansing the land within a radius of three thousand miles.

The original demonic and malevolent energy was completely swept away, and the entire land was transformed into a pure land shimmering with starlight. Even the soil dozens of feet underground turned into fragrant divine mud. From then on, the Yao Guang Holy Land used the area within a radius of three thousand miles of the Holy City as its base and expanded outwards.

They will drive away ferocious beasts, set up formations to guide the energy channels, transform the natural world, and establish a new city in this land where spiritual energy is scarce.

Transforming the originally barren land into fertile land suitable for ordinary people to live in.

This is a massive undertaking that requires a gradual approach. The northern region is vast and boundless; the former territory of the Stone Clan alone covers at least a million square miles.

The major dangers were dealt with by several ancient clans' Great Saints, while the remaining dangers below the level of Dao-Slaying Kings were dealt with by the Yao Guang Holy Land itself, which dispatched a large army.

……

Blackwater Marsh.

The swamp, stretching for thousands of miles, is perpetually shrouded in poisonous miasma, where countless ferocious creatures lurk in the decaying mud. Nine underground rivers converge here, forming a deathly wasteland.

However, the special environment also creates many rare and precious natural treasures. Occasionally, half-step powerful beings at the Sendai Realm will venture deep into the area to collect herbs.

Under normal circumstances, the ferocious beasts and visitors here keep to themselves, as long as visitors do not enter their core territory.

However, today the Blackwater Marsh was shattered by the thunderous sound of horns.

At the command of the Yao Guang Holy Land, the Holy Land's elite soldiers pressed in like a dark cloud, and three thousand warships crushed the stagnant water. The poison-avoiding pearls embedded in the bows of the ships emitted a clear light, forcing the poisonous fog back a hundred feet.

Each ship was guarded by a thousand armored warriors, each wielding a bronze halberd engraved with runes.

"Reporting to the elder, all troops have been deployed according to their positions!" a silver-armored general reported, clasping his hands in greeting.

Standing on the high platform, Elder Yaoguang's silver hair flew in the wind, and the bronze command flag in his hand was engraved with ancient runes: "Activate the spirit-locking array and cut off the source of spiritual energy for these beasts first."

As the command flag was waved, golden light patterns suddenly lit up the thirty-six mountain peaks, and countless chain phantoms burst out from the ground, coiling towards the sky like giant pythons.

Suddenly, roars of beasts echoed throughout the Blackwater Swamp, and the originally dense miasma began to be forcibly compressed into a sphere, gathering towards the center.

The mud suddenly churned violently, and a giant tail covered in bone spurs burst from the water. It was a ghost-faced crocodile that had cultivated for a thousand years, with half a cultivator's skeleton hanging from its ferocious head.

"Humans!" the Ghost-Faced Crocodile roared, spewing black smoke. "This is not a place for you."

The elder sneered and slammed the command flag heavily into the ground: "Trap them!"

Twelve bronze chariots suddenly rushed out from the formation. The cultivators on the chariots simultaneously formed hand seals, and twelve silver chains shot out from the air, precisely binding the limbs and neck of the Ghost-Faced Crocodile.

The soldiers below shouted in unison, and the tips of their spears burst forth with blue light, forming a giant net that covered an area of ​​ten miles, pulling the Ghost-Faced Crocodile down with its bare hands.

"Humans! You're courting death!"

Suddenly, towering black waves erupted from the depths of the swamp, and a thousand-foot-long Xuan Yin dragon burst forth from the water.

Having cultivated for over a thousand years, it had already reached the seventh minor step of the first level of the Sendai Heaven. Poisonous blood constantly seeped from the gaps in its scales, causing the water surface to sizzle and corrode.

"Leave it to me, I'll test this beast's strength."

Yunlan stepped out into the air, his green robe fluttering in the wind. Since he began practicing the Human Immortal Cultivation Technique taught by Lin Yu, he had opened up 365 major acupoints throughout his body. He had recently transcended tribulation and advanced to the Immortal Platform. Lin Yu had sent him to explore the wilderness, and now was the perfect opportunity to test his strength.

"boom--"

His blood energy surged into the sky, and three hundred and sixty-five golden vortexes appeared around Yunlan's body, like stars arrayed in formation.

Within each vortex sat a hazy golden figure, drawing upon the essence of the ten directions and the quintessence of the sun and moon with each breath.

This made the figure within even more solid, its face blurred, yet it exuded a terrifying divine power.

"Playing tricks!" The Xuan Yin Jiao stirred up a hundred miles of black waves, and as its tail swept across, hundreds of bolts of Yin lightning shattered the void.

Yunlan neither dodged nor yielded, unleashing a punch. Three hundred and sixty-five golden figures simultaneously threw their fists, the force of which condensed into a dazzling galaxy in the air!
"boom!"

The dragon cried out in agony as it plunged into the swamp, its scales shattering. Before it could struggle to its feet, Yunlan had already stepped on the dragon's head, golden patterns spreading from the sole of his foot, instantly sealing away all the cultivation of this thousand-year-old demon.

The Yao Guang disciples watching the battle were dumbfounded. "Senior Brother Yun is actually this powerful?"

Witnessing the capture of the two demon kings in succession, the beasts in the Blackwater Swamp were completely thrown into panic. A giant tortoise covered in saber teeth let out a low howl and led its horde to flee deeper into the swamp.

The Yao Guang cultivators were already busy. Some used the Demon-Binding Rope to drag away the unconscious Xuan Yin Jiao, some buried array flags to sort out the spiritual veins, and a team of array masters were surveying the terrain in preparation for building the foundation of the new city.

"Write it down," the disciple holding the pen said excitedly. "How about we name the new city... Fujiao City?"

(The Xuan Yin Jiao, which was being dragged away, suddenly twitched, and there seemed to be tears glistening in the corners of its eyes.)
