A leisurely life in the world of cultivation

Chapter 199 Divine Burial
The five sects' three-day arena battles naturally had the greatest impact not on the six sects, but on the newly built Qingshui City.

Whether in the spirit world, the mortal world, or on Earth, population is always the most important factor for a city to thrive.

The newly renovated Qingshui City was still very attractive to cultivators.

However, in these three days, the Five Elements Sect completely overshadowed Qingshui City.

Hou Haikun, who came from Xuantian Pavilion, was a born traitor. Right at the foot of the Five Elements Sect's mountain gate, he opened a small market town modeled after Qingshui City.

Although small in scale, its entire system design was copied from Qingshui City.

The City Lord of Qingshui, Su Wan, was furious. If two arena battles were held every month, it would only attract more and more people to the Five Elements Sect, and Qingshui City's decline would be imminent…

She had initially held onto a sliver of hope, thinking that the Five Elements Sect would quickly return to its usual quiet state after the arena battle.

But who would have thought that more and more small and medium-sized families and sects would rent houses there and send their children to study at the Five Elements Academy? Moreover, after a pair of cultivators resolved their life-and-death grudges on the arena, it immediately ignited the desire to watch the excitement.

These people not only watched the spectacle, but also fanned the flames, encouraging those with grudges to step onto the stage, as if anyone who dared not step onto the stage was a coward and in the wrong.

As a result, some of the rogue cultivators, who were already risking their lives, were truly unable to withstand the provocation...

If the Five Elements Sect didn't only allow one enemy to resolve their grudges each day, and didn't mediate and avoid using life-or-death contracts whenever possible, then the rogue cultivators at the top might really have gone berserk.

But in any case, it has generated tremendous attraction.

The life of a monk is actually quite boring, so who would miss out on a place like this to have some fun?

If that brat hadn't refused to let Hehuan Valley move in, there would probably be even fewer people in Qingshui City.

Su Wan felt she had to come up with a plan...

……

Li Weizhou naturally had no idea what Su Wan was thinking, and even if he did, he wouldn't care.

He was in an extremely good mood because he never expected that when he casually mentioned that he needed to provide blood and flesh from demonic beasts to support the Dragon Marrow Blood Fir, those rogue cultivators would be so helpful, scouring the world for spirit beasts to send to him.

Of course, the Five Elements Sect readily pays for whatever level of spirit beast it is and whatever its price.

The vast territory of the Five Elements Sect, once developed by someone knowledgeable in economics, becomes an endless treasure trove, where earning spirit stones is incredibly easy.

Of course, most of them are still abandoned at the moment.

But that won't be the case for long...

Li Weizhou needs to use them to exchange for endless spirit beast flesh and blood.

Earth.

Australia, Simpson Desert.

As the setting sun cast its last golden rays upon the already fiery desert, the entire world was bathed in a molten crimson.

The rolling sand dunes resemble a sleeping, crimson-gold giant beast, its back undulating in the twilight, stretching from the horizon to the very edge of the sky.

The iron minerals in the sand gleamed under the setting sun, each grain resembling a shattered spark. When the wind blew, millions of these sparks flowed along the patterns of the dunes, weaving a golden veil, which was then torn into a thin mist at the ridge, making it seem as if the desert was breathing.

Absolutely beautiful and magnificent.

Xiao Rui, whose hair had grown to her waist, watched as the afterglow of the setting sun slanted across the sand dunes, carving deep ochre-colored ravines into the shaded side, while the sunlit side shone brightly, red mixed with gold, gold wrapped with orange, as if God had spilled his palette and the wind had kneaded it into a flowing painting.

She was speechless for a moment.

As the last rays of golden sunlight sank below the horizon, the red of the dunes gradually faded to a dark ochre. The sand began to dissipate heat, carrying the heat absorbed during the day, and glowed slightly warm in the night.

The wind was still blowing, but its sound was deeper, like the breath of a giant beast.

But she wasn't afraid at all...

It's only been seven years since she graduated, yet she has experienced the most bizarre things in the world, overturning her understanding of the past twenty years.

In fact, it wasn't just her; the entire world's understanding was overturned as a result.

Putting aside other factors, theology flourished as a result.

At this moment, Li Weizhou was standing a thousand meters below Xiao Rui, gazing at the endless sea of ​​blood.

It truly is an endless sea of ​​blood...

Perhaps compared to the immense power of heaven and earth, Earth is far inferior to the spirit world, and even less so to the mortal realm.

However, this does not mean that Earth's civilization is backward.

On the contrary, in terms of production and creation, the spirit world may not be able to compare with the earth.

Especially in terms of aquaculture.

The spirit world might be able to take over some smaller worlds and gain resources through war.

But in any case, it can never compare to the Earth after the industrial age, especially after entering the intelligent age and the nuclear fusion age.

An almost endless stream of fresh animal carcasses fell into the sea of ​​blood every second through the blood-red phantom.

The majority are pigs, chickens, cattle, and sheep, but there are also animals such as the Mexican axolotl, which are also abundant.

Mixed in, the corpses of some huge spirit beasts floated up and down among the endless corpses in the sea of ​​blood.

But what Li Weizhou was looking at today was not these fundamental aspects of his work, but rather...

After each corpse fell into the sea of ​​blood, a wisp of true spiritual light would float up and enter Li Weizhou's primordial spirit.

That faint, almost imperceptible glimmer of true spiritual light is the most fundamental existence of a living being in relation to heaven and earth.

Living beings, though seemingly ordinary and unremarkable, are indeed the most noble beings in the universe.

Look at the vast universe; in the endless starry sky, you can't find a single planet where life exists.

Even the most insignificant ant on Earth is more precious and rare than countless amounts of gold and silver in the universe.

And the most precious thing is this true spirituality.

I couldn't help but come and see; their progress is unbelievably fast...

A Spirit God Realm cultivator, not some weakling in the mortal world.

Even if the Jianmu Divine Tree occasionally steals a chicken and brings back a wisp of immortal energy to refine itself, it shouldn't progress faster than the mortal realm.

Especially after seas of blood began to slowly replace human crematoriums...

This is unimaginable in the spirit world or the mortal world. But for humans on Earth, it's not a big deal, especially in the West.

With the UK preparing to legalize "alkaline hydrolysis," the world seems to have become... unrestrained.

What is "alkaline hydrolysis"?
It involves using water, alkaline chemicals, heat, and pressure to decompose the body within two to eighteen hours, then flushing it down the drain...

To put it bluntly, they boiled the body in a pressure cooker until it dissolved, then flushed away the liquid and ground the bones and teeth into powder to give to the family.

This kind of impact is something that "divine burial" can never match.

After all, "divine burial" means that the corpse completely disappears from this world, without rotting or stinking, and without being infested with maggots or eaten by insects...

Okay, that's how the ads were launched anyway.

Most importantly, people no longer need to pay for cemetery plots or coffins, which alone can save a lot of money!
The results were naturally extremely good, even beyond Li Weizhou's expectations...

He never imagined that the power of a person's true spiritual insight would be so immense!
But thinking about it, it makes sense. Even in ancient fantasy novels, being able to create humans is a great merit, which shows the nobility of the human race.

It's mainly about quantity...

The global death toll is 160,000 per day, and nearly 70 million per year.

Even if each person can only offer a tiny bit of genuine inspiration, when the number accumulates to hundreds of millions, it is still an exaggerated amount.

Not to mention, there are hundreds of billions of animal auras.

This allowed Li Weizhou to progress at a speed that frightened even himself, and right now, the "Divine Burial" had only just begun...

After observing for half an hour, Li Weizhou tossed the ethereal stone to the small mirror floating above the Blood Eye.

Xiao Jing swallowed the Void Stone in one gulp, and the inscriptions on her body seemed to become clearer, but they were still not very clear.

However, it was clearly satisfied. It shook the mirror, and suddenly, a point of chaotic light floated over and flew into Li Weizhou's sea of ​​consciousness.

Li Weizhou gained some insight and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

It turned out to be a technique for creating space.

Not only can it create a still space in its own sea of ​​consciousness to store spiritual objects, but it can also make storage talismans. If it has ethereal stones, it can even make storage rings and other spatial magic treasures.

This spatial technique, originating from chaos, is far more sophisticated than the methods of storing objects circulating in the spirit world.

Li Weizhou had seen the crafting techniques for storage talismans in the talisman manual, and compared to what Xiao Jing had taught him, they were simply crude and not worth mentioning!
In the spirit realm, to create a storage talisman, one must cultivate the art of talisman making to an extremely high level; it is no exaggeration to say that it is no easier than cultivating to the Spirit God realm.

Most importantly, it also requires extremely high talent in talismans.

This is different from cultivation talent. Those who can cultivate to the Spirit God Realm may not be able to go as far as cultivators in the Spirit Origin Realm when they want to practice talisman techniques.

At the very least, without this inheritance, Li Weizhou would have had a hard time cultivating his talisman techniques to this level...

At this moment, in the sea of ​​consciousness, that point of chaotic light transformed into countless flowing silver threads, weaving a void about one zhang in size around the primordial spirit, without up, down, left, or right, and without the passage of time.

"I see."

With a flick of his fingertips, the silver threads in the void of his sea of ​​consciousness slowly condensed into a talisman, which floated on the surface of the sea of ​​consciousness.

This means that he has mastered this talisman seal technique!

Seeing his delighted expression, the small mirror above the blood-red eyes swayed, reflecting the billions of corpses floating in the sea of ​​blood, as if saying, "I'm amazing, aren't I?"
Li Weizhou chuckled, condensed a wisp of spatial spiritual energy at his fingertip, flicked it, and fed it to the creature, saying, "Keep it up!"

Xiao Jing swallowed the spiritual energy, and then floated contentedly around the Blood Eye.

Li Weizhou didn't linger any longer; with a flicker, he returned to the ground.

At this moment, Xiao Rui was sitting on a moisture-proof mat spread out on the desert ground. The temperature in the desert had dropped sharply to around four or five degrees Celsius.

Fortunately, she had come prepared and brought a light blanket.

In addition, after consuming a considerable amount of Qingyuan Pills and beginning to cultivate Qi-opening martial arts, his current physique is at least able to withstand the cold.

The satellite phone in his hand rang. It was Xu Li: "Boss, Third Brother has added three more 'God Burial' sites, but he wants a kickback. Do you want to connect?"

Xiao Rui gazed at the sand dunes in the distance, tinged with a purplish-black hue by the night, and said calmly, "Go. Remember to have them clean it up to the same standard as before."

It's not about racial discrimination, but the filth of this country is ingrained in its very bones.

It's strange. Their homes are actually quite tidy, nothing special, but once they're in public places... they seem like a completely different species.

After Li Weizhou came up, he heard Xiao Rui urging Xu Li and the others to work harder and promote "divine burial" as soon as possible.

Xu Li's voice remained soft and gentle: "There are quite a few dissenting voices now. They suspect that the boss will gradually degenerate into a true demon. At first, he only needed pig's blood, but later his appetite grew, and he needed human blood. Later, he needed live pigs and live chickens, and now he needs human corpses. They worry that one day, the boss will need living people..."

After a moment of silence, Xiao Rui replied firmly, "Absolutely impossible! My husband is kind-hearted; he is a god, but also a human being." She paused, then added, "These kinds of rumors cannot be tolerated. This isn't about freedom of speech; it's slander. We must suppress it with all our might."

After listening to her give instructions for about ten minutes, like a general deploying troops, mobilizing various resources, including media and power resources, to extinguish these sparks, Li Weizhou walked to her side, hugged her, and laughed, "Let them say what they want. Anyway, nothing like that will happen. In the end, they can only vent their frustrations. Don't those cartoonists, screenwriters, and directors often portray us as a devilish couple?"

Xiao Rui nestled close to him, instantly feeling a warm glow. She looked up at her man and said, "It won't interfere with your business. They can make all sorts of jokes they want. We're not like those shameless sluts. Even Hollywood movies don't allow core Jewish villains. They can tease us, but they can't cross the line. The line is your business."

Li Weizhou lowered his head and kissed her moist lips. He liked this girl very much; she was generous, cheerful, and beautiful.

Xiao Rui responded enthusiastically. Unlike many women who become lost after achieving success and living a good life, she wouldn't think that she got it all by her own efforts, her talent, or her hard work.

Xiao Rui has always understood why she has come this far.

This may seem obvious, but it is actually quite rare in the current environment.

The only slightly off-target thought she had was that Li Weizhou did this because he deeply loved her, the kind of love that only extends to one person...

Otherwise, she mentioned Zhao Ling'er many times, but Li Weizhou always just laughed it off and never took it seriously.

If he wanted, being the groom every night wouldn't be a problem at all.

But he never did.

Every time he "emerged from seclusion," he would come to be with her immediately. Although they didn't spend much time together, he had already taken her to see most of the beautiful sights on the planet.

Take her dancing under the aurora borealis in Finland, watching blue morpho butterflies and glass frogs in the Amazon rainforest at night, riding camels under the starry sky of the Sahara, and even if we encounter a sandstorm, we won't be afraid at all, but will instead enjoy watching the sandstorms in my arms...

The two once stood beside Victoria Falls, on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe, watching the rainy season's torrents rush down the hundred-meter-high cliffs like a stampede of horses, the spray weaving a seven-colored rainbow across the entire canyon in the sunlight.

Also in late May, after the Serengeti enters its dry season, millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles migrate northwest with their calves, reaching the Masai Mara. The "crossing of heaven" across the Mara River at that time is a breathtaking spectacle, as the wildebeest herds must cross the crocodile-infested Mara River…

If you ask what happiness is, Xiao Rui believes she is a happy person.
