Hermit in the Mountains

Gu Changsheng withdrew his divine sense and enveloped the entire Kuru Mountain.

The Unity, Yin-Yang, Three Powers, and Four Seasons Mountain Protection Array was dismantled and began operating independently.

Only the Unity Formation and the Four Seasons Formation remain combined.

The stone bridge connecting Ziyang, Yinyue, and Ziwei peaks to Changsheng Peak is broken, with each peak separated by hundreds of kilometers.

When the Mountain Spirit Secret Realm came into Gu Changsheng's view, he did not disturb the Mountain Spirit's slumber;

After glancing at the dragon vein and the innate spiritual vein, his gaze turned to the miniature spirit-gathering array he had set up earlier.

As he guessed, the probability decreased by three percent.

More than 300 miniature spirit-gathering arrays only generated ten attribute-less spiritual energy nodes.

He personally set up the miniature spirit-gathering arrays, each marked with a spiritual imprint, making them impossible to miss when scanned by divine sense.

With a thought, Gu Changsheng felt the petals of the Pure World White Lotus slowly bloom, shrinking into a ray of white light that entered his body.

The World Pearl of Withering and Flourishing, the Metal Sword of Withering and Flourishing, and the Ruler of Breaking Law all entered his body;

He used the Earth Escape Technique to dive underground, spending a whole day forcibly collecting the innate, indestructible source energy from the spiritual energy nodes.

The next day, at noon.

Gu Changsheng reappeared in the Hall of Longevity, and the Pure White Lotus appeared. He stepped into the air and sat cross-legged on the lotus platform.

As my mind entered the grotto world, forty-one strands of innate, indestructible primordial energy floated before my eyes.

The Law-Breaking Ruler comes with nine rudimentary innate restrictions, and it is only one strand short of having enough primordial power to complete the innate treasure.

As long as the withered and flourishing Gengjin sword is integrated into it, the last wisp of original energy will not disappear;

There is hope that we may possess a third innate supreme treasure embryo!

Gu Changsheng scanned the cave world, and its area expanded to twice its size;

The original spiritual spring has doubled in size and depth;

The three-colored lotus of merit is rooted in the center of the original spiritual spring, absorbing the spiritual energy within.

He withdrew his mind from the cave world and examined the changes in his own spiritual treasure embryo, which had increased in power by about twice;

There's no point in thinking about when it will be completed; it'll be a very, very long time, and there's no set date.

The grade of the Withering and Flourishing Treasure Token has taken a big step forward, covering an area of ​​one million square kilometers.

It can detect spiritual-level soul fluctuations.

Dao Realm, Hall of Longevity

Gu Changsheng checked the data in the Lingwang backend and found that the number of users exceeded one billion, and the number was increasing every minute and every second.

The more users, the higher the activity level, and the more soul power overflows;

The soul liquid swelled from the basin to a small pool.

He gained a general understanding of the changes in the outside world.

Another other world has merged into Earth, this time including a cultivation world.

Among the information gathered so far, the highest cultivation level among cultivators from other worlds is:

Golden Core Realm Perfection!!!

Gu Changsheng saw that the highest cultivation level was "Perfect Golden Core Realm", and he was still far ahead of the competition.

He is still invincible on Earth for the time being!

Without any cultivators of the same level to compare himself to, he didn't know how strong he was in combat.

Perhaps it is because they are invincible below the level of immortals, and can be exchanged for one immortal.

As the planet continues to expand, natural treasures become abundant, spiritual energy concentration increases, and the laws of nature approach perfection.

With the resources of Mount Kurong, the disciples will not lack cultivation resources in the short term.

For him, rare and precious materials were almost as effective at enhancing his magical power as refining spiritual energy.

A minor realm can be broken through once every one to two months; one just needs to steadily navigate each cycle of rise and fall.

The focus remains on treasure hunting.

Each cave world needs at least one top-grade innate spiritual root to suppress it, with a rosary of a superior innate spiritual root as a supplement;

It possesses one top-grade innate spiritual vein and several high-grade innate spiritual veins as its foundation;

The innate, indestructible, primordial energy exists without expiration; the more the better.

After finishing up the miscellaneous tasks on the mountain, I went out to search for treasure, search for treasure, and more treasure.

Treasure hunting brings joy!

Treasure hunting is exhilarating!

Gu Changsheng opened the "Immortal City" project proposal, which was over a thousand pages long and covered all aspects of the Immortal City.

The name field for the immortal city is blank.

The layout of the immortal city eliminated the city walls to facilitate expansion, and it was distributed at the foot of the mountain in the form of markets and wards.

Immortal City Structure: The City Lord's Mansion administers the Law Enforcement Hall, Finance Department, Administration Department, and Household Registration Department;

Each company has various specialized departments.

The Enforcement Division is in charge of military force, the Financial Division is in charge of resources, the Administration Division is responsible for administrative management, and the Household Registration Division is responsible for household registration approval.

Each department wields immense power.

The city lord's mansion has an advisory group and an elders group. The former is responsible for providing advice, while the latter is responsible for high-end combat power.

The old men who had retired from Wanshou Pavilion were all given nominal advisory titles;

These old men have lived most of their lives. They may not be very strong, but they have plenty of experience in fighting.

They are all senior members of the Longevity Pavilion, so their loyalty is beyond question. The City Lord's Mansion and various departments are all under the leadership of their juniors, so they will certainly impart all their experience in teaching them.

With these elderly men providing advice and assessing risks;

The younger generation is at the forefront;

With experienced members mentoring newcomers, the core layer of the City Lord's Mansion has basically taken shape.

Gu Changsheng saw that the application requirements for settling in the Immortal City included successfully condensing his natal Dao Seed.

This condition can greatly increase the number of people practicing the Dao.

After seeing this condition, the other conditions became unimportant. He glanced at the other conditions casually and focused his attention on the content of the monetary system.

The great path of commerce can be grasped in one's own hands, and in the future, every time a cultivator makes a transaction, he will gain a share of fortune.

If the Spirit Network can cover the entire globe, then the great path of commerce will be within our grasp.

Luobao Money: The cornerstone of transactions, rule-making, standards, and pricing power;

Treasure Basin: Gathers wealth, treasures, and good fortune;

Money Tree: The only legal tender for immortality.

Gu Changsheng's idea was to combine three elements to create a wealth tree.

The God of Wealth Tree can generate corresponding tiers of currency, gather wealth and treasure, and also suppress bad luck.

They don't engage in modern finance; they only do one thing: issue a unified legal tender, establish trading rules, value measurement standards, exchange rates, and currency storage.

Different denominations of currency are formed within the God of Wealth Tree, each corresponding to a different amount of pure spiritual energy.

The lowest grade spirit coin contains ten strands of pure spiritual energy, and so on.

Gu Changsheng saw the design drawing of the currency, which was round on the outside and square on the inside;

The obverse of several coins all bears the inscription "Chang Sheng Tong Bao," while the reverse features different characters such as "one," "ten," and "one hundred."

Gu Changsheng quickly read through the thousands of pages of the Immortal City project proposal and mentally typed the word "Approval".

The celestial city is registered under the name of the mortal academy;

The Immortal City is located at the foot of the mountain directly to the east of Mount Kurong, and its construction can proceed.

The first batch of settlement quota is 100,000;

The Changsheng Tongbao coin will not be promoted for the time being.

After writing the notes, Gu Changsheng returned the project proposal to Zhang Yuanfu for execution.

Before leaving the Dao Realm, Gu Changsheng sent a message to Yang Mancang and Bai Qianqian, telling them to simply fulfill their duties.

As night fell, four divine thoughts carrying the Four Directions Myriad Soul Banners descended five thousand miles away, precisely landing in the mountains and forests one hundred kilometers outside the human city, on one side each in the east, west, south, and north.

At midnight, inside the Hall of Longevity, Gu Changsheng separated the room and retrieved nine old objects from the side hall;

These are all private seals and official seals of ancient kings and nobles.

In his eyes, the materials of the nine old objects contained a faint aura of fortune.

He stretched out his right hand, flipped it over, and spread his five fingers towards the sky, revealing nine seals floating in his palm.

The power of decay is refined and compressed, while the power of prosperity is regenerated.

Through repeated refinement, compression, and fusion, an embryonic jade seal was created.

He would occasionally infuse a wisp of human merit into it for nourishment, drawing upon the purple energy of the rising sun at dawn.

During this period, he also incorporated chalcedony materials.

However, he did not integrate the innate, indestructible source energy, fearing it would affect the generation of the authority to bestow titles upon humans.

The Banner of Ten Thousand Souls and the Investiture of the Gods never merged with the innate, indestructible source energy; they relied entirely on a trace of power bestowed by heaven and earth.

Three days and three nights later, a palm-sized jade seal, as smooth as jade, was completed, with a dragon-shaped knob and the words "Human Emperor" engraved on the bottom.

The jade seal contains eighty-one strands of human merit.

In addition, it incorporates eighty-one strands of nascent sun energy.

[The Imperial Seal of the Emperor, the Mandate of Heaven for All Races: The embryonic treasure of destiny, wielding imperial decrees and governing all living beings.]

Currently, the "Seal of the Human Emperor" cannot be used to confer titles upon feudal lords or monarchs;

Not to mention the throne and the position of emperor.

The selection of feudal lords and kings is more complicated than that of officials in the underworld or in the divine, as it involves fortune and destiny.
