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

Although the ten-day celebration has passed and all the new monks have left, Stone City remains bustling.

A large number of orthodox cultivators were transferred over, and a massive number of spirits replaced the new cultivators.

Countless martial artists appeared.

As a result of a series of changes in royal power, there were no more new monks in this stone city.

Moreover, it doesn't exist now, and it won't exist in the future.

Wang Quan, through his authority, directly altered the teleportation rules of Stone City.

This rule resulted in a massive decrease in the number of new magic cultivators in Stone City.

However, neither Wang Quan nor Ruo Jinghong and the others cared.

These new practitioners, though they can be exploited, are not indispensable.

When Mei Niang and the others returned from the second layer of the world, they were in high spirits: "Because of your example, the members of Stone City today, whether they are spirits or warriors, are all keen on procreation."

"Many orthodox cultivators even possess a massive amount of Purple Palaces as external aids, constantly procreating their offspring."

"Although these descendants will not be able to use them for another ten or even several decades."

"But they are our most solid foundation."

"As long as Stone City can exist for twenty or thirty years, we will gain the most loyal group of leeks and reserve forces."

Mei Niang became more and more excited as she spoke: "When the time comes, we will open a branch academy and select orthodox cultivators."

"The rest of you should all become martial artists and provide everyone with various materials."

"The same goes for spirits."

Wang Quan nodded, and Ruo Jinghong and the others also nodded.

These things were all planned out in advance, but they just hadn't been approved by the authorities.

Now, because of the defection of the new cultivators, the royal authority has directly used its power to modify many rules and completely finalize the basic decisions in this regard.

After discussing the development and rule adjustments of Stone City for a while, Wang Quan finally spoke up: "Everyone, I want to continue connecting the third layer of the world and the second layer of the underworld."

Upon hearing this, Ruo Jinghong and the others all fell silent.

Mei Niang and the others, in particular, frowned deeply: "Fellow Daoist Sa Hua, we have gained a foothold in the Underworld."

"However, it is said that the second level of the underworld is much more terrifying than the first level."

"We haven't even been to the second level of the underworld yet, we're afraid we won't be able to withstand it."

"Moreover... we haven't even set foot in the Purple Mansion yet."

"If we go to the second level of the underworld, I'm afraid we won't be able to help at all, and we'll only be a hindrance to you."

"The same applies to the third layer of the world."

"Even in the second layer of the world, we only managed to carve out a small safe zone thanks to your methods."

"Although the safe zone is expanding, the expansion rate is too slow."

"We believe that at least one more building needs to be rendered to truly solidify the safe zone in the second layer of the world."

"We'll consider connecting to the third world then."

The concerns of Wu Zetian and others were not without reason.

Wang Quan also had these concerns.

The evil of the second layer of the world alone, and the time lost in opening up the safe zone, were enough to drive all the Daoist cultivators to the brink of collapse.

If he hadn't mastered the "Scripture of Salvation," it would have been impossible for him to have opened up the safe zone.

The expansion of the second layer of security zone is proceeding at an unusually slow pace, driven by ordinary Daoist practitioners and orthodox cultivators.

He couldn't stay inside forever to recite and carve the "Scripture of Salvation."

He also needs to cultivate, improve his foundation, and practice the many fundamental methods and spells of the Purple Mansion Realm.

The second level of the underworld is equally dangerous.

He went to the second level of the underworld, where he encountered weak ghosts and monsters, but he also encountered terrifying beings like the sealed giant.

Ruo Jinghong spoke up, "Everyone, we've just come from a historical fragment. Although we've relaxed a bit, we're still quite tired."

"Moreover, we haven't digested the resources we gained from the martial arts competition, nor have we transformed them into real strength and resources."

"Perhaps we should wait until everyone has converted all the gains and improved their realm and foundation before we study the next main attack direction."

Mei Niang and the other Daoist cultivators nodded: "That would be best. Let's first step into the Purple Mansion realm and advance to the next level."

"Then cultivate some Purple Mansion magic, and even forge some magic treasures."

"Moreover, during this period, we can gradually expand the area of ​​the safe zone in the second layer of the world."

Wang Quan nodded: "That's fine then!"

"However, I hope everyone can make progress faster."

"ten years."

"I hope that within ten years, everyone can reach the Purple Mansion Realm."

"We don't have much time left."

Ruo Jinghong blinked and asked, "Fellow Daoist, why do you say that?"

Mei Niang and the others were equally curious: "Why do you say we don't have much time left?"

"Could it be that the [Cultural Court] is going to organize a second magical duel?"

Wang Quan shook his head.

He hesitated for a moment, then recounted the calamities of the dynasty and the era.

Upon hearing this, hundreds of Daoist cultivators were stunned, silent, and incredulous.

Because the news of the royal power was truly shocking.

According to the royal authority, the New World would be destroyed in a few hundred years.

Hundreds of years is a very long time for ordinary people.

However, for these Daoist cultivators, it was far too short.

Without the rewards for the contest, they might not even be able to refine a top-tier Golden Core.

Even if they refined the top-tier Golden Elixir, according to Wang Quan, they would still be cannon fodder among cannon fodder.

In such a terrible calamity, life and death are not in one's own hands.

It's a very despairing thought.

After a long while, it was still Mei Niang who remained magnanimous.

This female cultivator had experienced many grand events, and even organized many evil beings to have fun together in the second layer of the world.

Therefore, they are quite adaptable.

She took a deep breath, jumped onto Wang Quan, and squeezed him forcefully, saying, "Fellow Daoist, we don't have much time left."

"Let me have some fun before I die!"

"If you find my body unbearable, I can find a body that has never been intimate with you to enjoy pleasure with."

"Even if I die at that time, I won't have any regrets."

The king remained silent.

He grabbed Mei Niang by the neck, intending to throw her away.

The woman clung to him tightly, refusing to let go no matter what: "We're about to die, can't you just relax a little?"

Wang Quan coughed: "We still have several hundred years. If we fight, perhaps we won't die."

"Even in death, it is possible to preserve the body intact."

"When the time comes, let our descendants build us a large tomb, and arrange incense smoke rituals around it so that incense smoke rises from the tomb day and night."

"With the help of this wisp of smoke, perhaps we can rebuild our former glory in the underworld."

"You can move on to the next era and continue to strive."

Upon hearing this, Mei Niang tilted her head and began to ponder.

Ruo Jinghong, who was standing to the side, took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Sahua is right."

"We also have the underworld as our foundation."

"If you die in the real world, you can go to the underworld to regroup and start over."

"So, everyone, don't be discouraged. The key is to seize the time to cultivate and improve your realm and foundation."

"Even if we die in the future, we'll be ghosts among ghosts in the underworld, the strangest of the strange."

"One could even take advantage of the calamity to become a powerful ghost emperor and wield absolute authority."
