I only want to win over the fairy.

The myriad stars shine like the universe, how magnificent and incomparably beautiful!

When all living beings in the world embark on the path of cultivation, the power of the immortal path makes them seem omnipotent. However, after mastering this power for a short time, they can gain the power to change the world. Having experienced such power, they will inevitably want more.

In a world where stars shine brightly, can we see the ugliness that power brings with it?

War, hunger, dictatorship, tyranny, violence, poverty, desire, and terror.

These things are bound to happen, because that is the nature of living beings. The acquisition of power will accelerate these processes, and it is almost impossible to solve them at their root.

However, Bai Yi was not worried. After all, the emergence of these problems was largely due to insufficient resources. What Bai Yi was going to do this time was precisely to raise the upper limit of the world and increase the total amount of resources in the world, so that the world's resources were sufficient for the development and use of living beings.

[You are constantly recruiting outstanding talents to support your plans. The existing resources are insufficient to distribute the pie, so the right approach is to expand it as much as possible, rather than engaging in internal strife and depleting your own resources.]

At the same time, you understand that if the distribution is unfair, even an infinitely large pie might not be enough to go around, so you need to establish a completely new order, system, and rules for this world.

In July of the fifteenth year of the White Emperor Era, you convened representatives of commoner cultivators, representatives of major sects across the Nine Provinces, representatives of neutral forces, and even representatives of the ancient demon race to jointly draft a comprehensive new set of laws. These laws included criminal law, debt law, marriage law, and more. Simultaneously, you reformed the current immortal sect system, adopting a cabinet system. The cabinet would hold overall administrative power and be responsible to the Nine Provinces. The leader of the party or party alliance holding a majority of seats in the parliament would serve as the head of the cabinet, organizing it. At the same time, a court of judgment would be established, subject to the supervision of the cabinet. If the court of judgment lost confidence in the cabinet, it would have the power to overthrow it…

The rapid establishment of the new system and order has given a strong boost to world stability. Simultaneously, you have gathered all able-bodied men from the Nine Provinces and formulated three nine-year plans: the first nine years will focus on developing agricultural production, emphasizing the cultivation of grains, herbs, and superior new varieties of rare and precious materials; the second nine years will focus on industrial development, as the cultivation world's current use of many resources is too inefficient, requiring more efficient methods to establish the initial foundation for industrialization; the third nine years will focus on vigorously developing military strength.

[Cultivators take from Heaven, and can also give back to Heaven. Every month, you will extract a fixed proportion of spiritual energy from cultivators whose strength is above the Four Symbols Realm. The higher the strength, the more you extract. This spiritual energy will then be used to transform the Wilderness Domain.]

As time passed and creatures continued to exploit the wilderness, it eventually became a barren wasteland where nothing could grow. Even naturally born innate holy spirits could hardly survive there, let alone others.

The land of Kyushu is vast and rich in resources, and it has been the core territory ruled by the rulers of heaven and earth throughout history.

Unfortunately, even in the most fertile and abundant places, resources are limited. Unrestrained use will eventually lead to their depletion. That is why sustainable mining is necessary. However, with so many people in the cultivation world, sustainable mining is extremely difficult. After all, the consumption is too great, and if the amount mined cannot keep up with the amount consumed, problems will arise. Therefore, Bai Yi needs to make use of some unusable wastelands.

Beyond Kyushu, besides vast wilderness areas, there are also eternal frozen lands, the Senluo Domain, the Desert Dead Domain, and many islands overseas. However, compared to the resources contained in the ocean, the resources in these places are almost negligible. But adhering to the principle of not wasting, let's find an opportunity to make use of them.

It's land, after all.

Then we'll see if any idiots in Kyushu jump out and rebel. If they do, we'll exile them to the Eternal Frozen Land and make them dig potatoes.

After all, the permafrost is the closest to the desert region, making it easier to develop and build there.

Under your guidance, two million cultivators have collectively ventured into the desolate region to begin construction on this barren land, restoring its former prosperity and vitality.

[In October of the 20th year of the White Emperor Era, after approximately five years, nearly one-fifth of the Wilderness Domain has regained its greenery. To maintain this hard-won vitality, you will divide the spiritual energy extracted from countless cultivators into multiple portions and continuously inject it into the withered spiritual veins of this region, using human power to revive them.]

[The vast amount of spiritual energy that has trapped you within these withered veins, according to your estimation, will likely revive in about ten years after absorbing such immense spiritual power. In about a hundred years, some low-level spiritual vein mines may form.]

[The spirit vein mines don't hold much appeal for you; what you care about is the vitality these spirit veins will bring to the surrounding area upon their revival. You believe that by then, this place will surely be a paradise, a resource-rich region comparable to the fertile and prosperous lands of the Nine Provinces.]

During this period, as the prescribed plan progressed, more and more cultivators devoted themselves to the cultivation and planting of various herbs. Relying solely on the natural treasures born from the heavens and earth was far from sufficient. Ultimately, the beings needed to cultivate higher-quality, higher-yield herbs with shorter maturation periods using their own strength. Only in this way could the resources required by the vast number of cultivators be met.

[In April of the 22nd year of the White Emperor Era, your eldest disciple, Luo Jiuxiao, after years of research, finally made tremendous progress. She created an unprecedented "sword" that overturned the cultivation world's understanding to date.]

Chapter 196 Su Qingyu: Cheer for me, applaud for me.

The world line has undergone a massive shift...

[Detected that ■■ has exceeded its own destiny trajectory, completing the foundation for eternal transcendence, and initiating a recalculation of world variables.....]

[Detection failed. The world itself has undergone a significant deviation. The world is about to undergo an upgrade, and the number of key figures influencing this change has increased. The number of holders needs to be increased.]

[Beep... Insufficient energy, unable to increase.]

[Adopt backup plan I: deduct subsequent rewards for current holders, remove the pay-to-win feature, remove the immersive simulation feature, and replenish energy...]

[The failure to deduct the data touched upon the underlying logic. Alternative solution II was adopted, which only enabled subsequent user monitoring functions and removed other functions, including the blocking function.]

[Running successful.]

[So, congratulations! From this day forward, you are the ones who decide the fate of the world.]

.......

This world is full of surprises.

Luo Jiuxiao's talent in swordsmanship is terrifying, and his talent in swordsmanship is not only limited to practicing swordsmanship, but also includes the development of swords and sword techniques.

After receiving guidance from Bai, she has been thinking about how to break through everything that exists.

A sword is a double-edged, straight-bladed weapon with a pointed tip. It can injure people both horizontally and vertically, and can pierce armor when thrusting. When wielded, it is deadly whether used in the forward or backward direction. Attacking with the tip of the sword can easily penetrate armor, making it an extremely dangerous weapon born to kill.

This is my understanding, but it's a traditional sword. The White Emperor made me break through tradition, so naturally he wouldn't let me create a traditional sword.

We must break through tradition and escape the stagnant situation...

She kept pondering and thinking about what she should do, what direction she should take, and what exactly a swordsman was that was different from the traditional swordsman.

Swords are very dangerous weapons, characterized by their flexibility and unpredictability. When used properly, they can kill an enemy in one strike. When combined with powerful sword intent, they can even kill people from thousands of miles away without them even noticing.

To strike unexpectedly, to kill the enemy in a single blow, to kill silently from thousands of miles away...

As she pondered the various advantages of sword cultivators, she seemed to grasp some ideas. Coincidentally, the blueprints that Bai Di had given her, those things called firearms, had extremely strong lethality against low-level cultivators, which somewhat met these conditions.

So, is it possible to combine swords with these firearms?

With this in mind, she began a completely new study of Kendo.

[In April of the 22nd year of the White Emperor Era, you successfully crafted a "sword" that overturned common sense in the cultivation world, a sword that exceeded the limits of what a traditional sword should be.]

Although this sword had gone completely in a strange direction, you, believing it to be innovative, did not restrict this strange development but let it continue. The final result is the "giant sword" before us, whose length and width are comparable to a mountain, and whose interior is composed of countless tiny structures.

[Based on your calculations, with your current Qian Yuan Realm strength as the energy source to power this weapon, it would be sufficient to threaten, and even kill, a Dao Integration Realm cultivator.]

By using one's own spiritual power and sword intent as energy to fill this sword, the overwhelming sword intent it unleashes is enough to kill powerful enemies across borders.

However, the greatest strength of this "sword" isn't even that, but rather that it's not a disposable item and can be recharged! This means you can prepare the appropriate energy source in advance and then launch a surprise attack during battle!

Imagine this: in battle, an enemy far weaker than you suddenly pulls out this brand-new "sword" and launches an attack that is beyond your comprehension. Who wouldn't be confused?

To strike unexpectedly, to kill the enemy in one blow, to kill someone from thousands of miles away without them even noticing.

Yes, this is a sword.

Luo Jiuxiao nodded. She had once discussed swordsmanship with the White Emperor, talking about their respective sword paths. Although she couldn't understand what he meant when he said his sword was too outdated and corrupt, she could now fully understand his words.

However, his swordsmanship is far from perfect, and his swordsmanship is still far from the level he envisions.

These alone are not enough to reach the White Emperor's unthinking sword strike.

His "sword" already met the three characteristics of surprise, killing the enemy with one blow, and killing people from thousands of miles away without them even noticing, but the sword's flexibility and versatility had not yet been demonstrated. This "sword" was not perfect enough and had not yet met his expectations.

How can such an incomplete "sword" possibly contend with that person's sword?!

The "sword" you created has greatly surprised the White Emperor. Even he had never imagined that you could create such a thing; it simply defies all common sense he knows.

"Physics... no longer exists." The White Emperor placed high hopes on you: "Jiuxiao, your talent is simply unheard of. No, perhaps your talent has always been this powerful. As the number one young person of this era, you lack neither strength nor talent. What you lack is only experience."

"Undeservedly so." You responded humbly. The title of the number one young talent in Kyushu was, in your view, merely an honorific. While you genuinely couldn't think of anyone among the younger generation stronger than you, you knew that before the universally acknowledged number one swordsman, the one who suppressed the strongest of this era, the White Emperor, your achievements were but a firefly compared to the bright moon.

The title of "Number One Among the Younger Generation" was earned by Luo Jiuxiao himself at the Zhongzhou Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering three years ago.

At that time, she single-handedly defeated the geniuses of the other eight of the nine great immortal sects in Zhongzhou, and defeated the chosen ones and beauties from all over the Nine Provinces. Since then, the title of the number one young person in the Nine Provinces has been sung by countless people.

Afterwards, many geniuses broke through their limits and, under the guidance of their family and sect elders, came to the Zixiao Sword Sect to challenge him. Unfortunately, without exception, all of them were defeated by his sword.

If someone cannot defeat you at the Gathering of Immortals, then unless they have a great opportunity in this life, it will be difficult for them to surpass you again.

An ordinary person would probably feel flattered by such praise, but she was different. She had no interest in these compliments, since they wouldn't bring her any improvement in strength.

Instead of being fixated on false fame, I should set my sights on the more distant path of swordsmanship.

only....

For some reason, the title of the number one young person in Kyushu, which she originally thought was completely insignificant, now makes her feel a tightness in her chest when she sees it.

Have I started to care about these empty titles too...?

My state of mind is still not perfect. Tonight, I will practice the "Purple Cloud Sword Nourishing Technique" five hundred times, treating my body and mind as a sword to nurture. This will help clear away distracting thoughts and calm my mind.

The White Emperor highly praised your groundbreaking "sword" that revolutionized the cultivation world. As a reward, he bestowed his own power upon you, allowing your already awakened sword spirit to evolve once more.

[After receiving the White Emperor's blessing, you find your five senses have become more acute. You seem to be able to hear the sounds of all the weapons in the world, their unique rhythms, and their calls.]

All martial arts, in essence, are the way of the sword.

Realizing just how powerful this newfound strength truly was, you felt an even greater admiration and respect for the White Emperor. You believed his power far surpassed your own, and even the world's, achievements. But the White Emperor told you that this wasn't his power; he was merely responsible for bringing forth the hidden strength within you.

The power bestowed is not simply Bai Yi's own power to give to others; it can also be used as a catalyst to draw out the greater power deep within the other person's body.

Although only a few can awaken their own greater power, those with extraordinary talent are also few in number. After all, ordinary people rely on the power given to them to embark on the path of cultivation, while these favored sons and daughters of heaven can embark on the path of cultivation simply by relying on their own power. The power given to them is merely a guiding and facilitating role.

As for why he has given away all his power, yet still has surplus power to give to others, Bai Yi can only say...

—What I give away is only a seed, but what I can reap is a bountiful harvest.

The seeds he gives to each living being will guide them onto the path of cultivation, making them stronger. As they become stronger, Bai Yi will also receive a return benefit, drawing a small amount of power from their strength that will not affect their original source as his own.

The amount of power extracted from an individual is so small as to be imperceptible. It's like a family that earns thousands or tens of thousands a month having a single penny taken from them each month – no one would care.

Even if they noticed, not many people would complain, because without Bai Yi giving them the seeds and the possibility, they would never have had the chance to "earn thousands or tens of thousands a month".

He grants those beings who cannot cultivate immortality the possibility of embarking on the path to immortality. When these beings cultivate, they will give back a little power to Bai Yi. Little by little, the vast power composed of the little power of countless beings will become his power. At the same time, as his power increases, he will also give back to the beings.

This is one's own way of Heaven.

With countless living beings as the foundation and pillars, they are connected to form a sacred network, ultimately leading to the ascension of all!

This is only part of Bai Yitian's plan. What he wants to do is not only to connect living beings and elevate them, but also to elevate the world!

We will use the power of all living beings to mend the world, and use the way of humanity to mend the way of heaven, so that the way of heaven will elevate the rules of the world, thereby making heaven and earth more prosperous.

However, this process cannot be rushed. If it is rushed, the rapidly developing Heavenly Path will leave many people behind, and then the new world will have nothing to do with those who have fallen behind.

This time, I don't need to be so impatient.

Take it slow, don't rush things, don't risk your life for the future. Be patient and let everyone catch up with you on their own. Even if they can't keep up, don't worry, he will do his best to help them catch up.

[In the third month of the twenty-fifth year of the White Emperor's era, as your preaching deepened, more and more beings awakened to wisdom, no longer living aimlessly, but knowing how they should truly live.]

The stability of the world is of utmost importance to you, so your laws are almost all-encompassing. With the help of countless students, the laws you have formulated cover virtually every situation in the world. At the same time, you place great importance on the enforcement of these laws, and you will not allow anything to render your painstakingly formulated laws meaningless.

[All your students who respect you and follow you voluntarily will spare no effort to uphold the law if they discover any injustice or violation of the laws of the Nine Provinces, even the most powerful immortal sects are no exception.]

In July of the 25th year of the White Emperor Era, the son of the sect leader of the Wuyai Sect, a first-rate immortal sect in Xuanzhou, took a fancy to a woman who had only recently embarked on the path of cultivation. After failing to seduce her, he imprisoned her and forced her to become his concubine. Upon learning of this, the disciples of the White Emperor Sect quickly formed a team led by Su Qingyu and went to the Wuyai Sect to seek justice.

Faced with greater power and influence, even a first-rate immortal sect has no choice but to submit. However, unlike in the past, your disciples do not seek justice with their fists, for they know that violence only breeds more violence, and vigilante justice only breeds more vigilante justice.

After a series of investigations and confirming the evidence was conclusive, they escorted the witnesses and physical evidence to the judicial authorities to try the criminals using the laws of Kyushu, rather than arbitrarily imposing bans with the power of the law.

In this world, not many people want to be a rotten, decadent mess from the very beginning.
