Cultivation of Immortality: This is what unorthodox methods are like.

The important figure smiled and looked at Ying Jiaren: "You feel it's fast?"

Ying Jiaren nodded: "Of course, soon!"

"In two months, I increased the soil layer on these 100 acres to ten meters and completed the internal circulation."

"From now on, every day, the soil layer here will become thicker, and the earth's veins will increase."

"If everyone in Bitter Cold City..."

The important figure chuckled: "Even if everyone in Bitter Cold City used your method, it would still take several years to see results."

Ying Jiaren blinked: "That's already very fast!"

The important man shook his head: "It will be quick for you."

"But for us, for the entire polar region, this speed is far too slow."

"How long would it take you to make the earth here tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of meters thick?"

Ying Jiaren looked bewildered and puzzled.

The great man soared into the air, accompanied by swirling colorful clouds that swept up Ying Jiaren as well. Then he pointed down at the bitterly cold city below:

"Do you know how long it would take to open up this Bitter Cold City using your methods?"

Ying Jiaren seemed thoughtful: "Three to five years?"

The important figure nodded: "Not bad!"

"It would take hundreds of millions of divine avatars, blessed lands and grotto-heavens, and even a large number of cultivators with the power of 'One-Accelerator,' as well as a vast amount of rare and precious materials, exotic flowers and herbs, and even a large number of magical treasures to carve out a city of bitter cold."

"The losses involved are simply too great."

Ying Jiaren: "So, you've abandoned this method? And switched to a new one?"

The important figure nodded, his face full of pride, and said, "Back then, there were three thousand unorthodox sects, eight hundred unorthodox sects, and one hundred and eight orthodox sects, totaling one hundred and eight billion geniuses, who devoted their efforts to repeatedly deriving new methods."

"And I am one of them."

Ying Jiaren was bewildered. She didn't know that this important person was just one of the 10.8 billion geniuses. What was there to be proud of?

At this moment, the important person excitedly said:

"Because we need more land."

"We need more cities."

"Therefore, we must develop simpler, more convenient, and faster means of territorial expansion."

"Ten years, we spent a full ten years to finally find the best solution."

"Do you know how many cultivators would be needed and how long it would take to carve out a city like Bitter Cold City using this method?"

Ying Jiaren rolled her eyes: "I don't know!"

The important man said smugly, "One person, one day."

Ying Jiaren looked bewildered: "Huh?"

This book was first published on 2020s.com, providing you with a reading experience free of errors and disordered chapters.

"What do you mean?"

"I don't really understand!"

The important figure smiled and said, "A cultivator at the [Accelerator] level was used as a sacrifice, and his corpse transformed into a city and a surrounding territory of millions of miles."

"And this only takes one day."

Ying Jiaren gasped, "Such high efficiency."

"But... with such an efficient method, why do we have to go through all this trouble?"

"Keep using these efficient methods and get the polar regions sorted out directly."

"Why send us here to die?"

The important figure gritted his teeth: "Because even the old fogies at the [Accelerator] level refuse to draw lots!"

Ying Jiaren: "Huh?"

The important figure sighed, "In the past, in the name of righteousness, we made those old folks among us who had reached the end of their lives and had no hope of becoming immortals draw lots—to evolve a million-mile territory with their flesh and blood and their realm."

"Although this territory is only a thin layer, it can be considered as laying the foundation for our human race."

"But as the old folks with a spirit of dedication die, all that's left are old folks without a spirit of dedication."

"so......"

Ying Jiaren seemed to be deep in thought: "So... if no one else is willing to sacrifice, then we have to use flesh and blood, cannon fodder, to slowly erode the abnormal climate?"

"Yes!" the big shot sighed. "It's not just cannon fodder; even people like us have to risk our lives when necessary."

Ying Jiaren pointed to the newly cleared woodland that had formed an internal circulation system: "I feel that this is already quite good."

"Why force the consumption of flesh and blood?"

The powerful figure laughed heartily: "Without massive sacrifices of flesh and blood to extinguish the abnormal climate outside, do you think you would have had a chance to develop slowly?"

"Flesh and blood, corpses, and twelfth-tier magic weapons serve as stakes for life and death, nailing them down in all directions, and nailing down the four seasons and the twenty-four solar terms."

"Use the deaths of cannon fodder to sacrifice to the sun, moon, stars, all directions, mountains, rivers, rain, and dew."

"Only in this way can we establish a foothold in the polar regions."

Ying Jiaren shook her head blankly: "I don't understand these things."

"All I know is that by following the royal method, we can increase the city's strength and thus accumulate power for a future breakthrough."

The important figure drifted away: "Do whatever you want!"

"Anyway, everything you do will be recorded by this city, and you will be given different privileges and rewards accordingly."

"It's a pity. If I had known that Wang Quan would use this kind of method, I wouldn't have given you the magic weapon."

Ying Jiaren blinked: "How about I give it back to you?"

The important figure vanished completely, leaving only a voice: "Throughout history, it's always the old folks who have made the sacrifices; when have we ever seen young people do it?"

Ying Jiaren was stunned.

She stood on the cloud for a long time before finally transforming into a malevolent aura and falling onto a fire mulberry tree.

"What exactly did that important person mean?"

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore."

"The path of monarchy is right."

"Strengthen the foundation and create an internal cycle, then grow and expand."

"At that time, I will build a legion that will never betray me."

While pondering, she patted the treasure pouch.

boom! boom! boom!

Incense sticks shot out and exploded upon landing, and beautiful women with different temperaments emerged from them.

These beauties are Daoist soldiers she created using incense-based techniques.

Previously, she thought these Taoist soldiers were mysterious and extremely important.

Now... in this far north, it has become a useless commodity.

"In that case, let's abandon them."

"This time, I'm going to create a Dao weapon that can continuously improve as my strength increases."

As she pondered, she remembered the mulberry tree beneath the throne.

"My ten mulberry trees will eventually look like that too."

"Incense... incense..."

"The mulberry tree is fire, I only lack fragrance..."

Her thoughts raced: "My first fundamental principle is the [Mysterious Fragrance Self Principle]."

"I am one of the fragrances."

She calmed herself down, examined all her own resources, and searched for suitable magical techniques.

"I slowly built up my strength, step by step, and finally, with unstoppable momentum, I took control of this bitterly cold city."

The far west, Stone City:

Since Ying Jiaren left, Wang Quan's life has become quite regular:

He spends one-third of his time each day studying Taoist scriptures using the "inverted wisdom" method; and then spends the other third of his time writing Taoist scriptures in the underworld.

In the last third of his time, he studied many fundamental laws and spells to enrich his own knowledge.

This stone city contains all the fundamental techniques and spells of the Foundation Establishment stage from all sects in the world.

While these things may not immediately boost combat power, they can strengthen foundations and solidify the base of strength.

That day, while he was comprehending the fundamental laws and spells, Ruo Jinghong contacted him: "Fellow Daoist Sahua, there are some matters in the Underworld that require your attention."
