All kinds of fish, whether from rivers and streams, or from the ocean, can be cultivated here.

Even fish with unusual appearances, such as sharks, manta rays, and rays, can be used to create quite a few.

If you scatter a handful of aquatic amber stones into the lake, the number of fish species that appear in the lake will exceed the total number of animal species outside.

It would be most suitable to use it to build the aquarium she planned.

The girl stood on the shore and slowly scattered the special spirit stones from the large brocade pouch into the lake, like casting bait.

His spiritual sense penetrated the water's surface and saw the spirit stone transform into a fish shape upon entering the water, which calmed his mind somewhat.

"It feels like playing a building game."

Once the spirit stones in the brocade pouch were all used up, Xi Heng clapped his hands, and as the space rippled, the surrounding scenery changed to the aquarium passageway at the bottom of the lake.

Now, the lakebed looks much more interesting.

However, it lacked a lively atmosphere, as there were no tourists, roadside vendors, or people inside the venue.

"Let's build a road connecting this place to the Spirit Creation City... and charge a small ticket price so that Su Ziyuan and the others don't always have to exchange spirit stones for money when they buy things."

While Xi Heng's main body was idly building an aquarium, his avatars in the distance were still busy expanding the calamities in the Heavenly Realm.

Over the years, I have accumulated enough Light Rune Points through my transformations to exchange for three main materials for advancing to the Dao Integration Realm.

Due to the long-term expansion of the calamity, the Celestial System has increased the reward ratio for combating the calamity; otherwise, we might not even be able to get one and a half items now.

The three main materials for advancement are: Four Mirage Incense, Thunderclap Seed, and Seven Flames of Delusion.

For fire-attribute cultivators, these three items are the most basic materials for advancing to the Dao Integration stage.

The Four Mirage Incenses were used to overcome the tribulation of the heart, Lei Zhenzi overcame the tribulation of lightning, and the Seven Flames of Li Mei were used to transform and unify spiritual power.

Theoretically, it's enough, but with only these three, the actual success rate is still pitifully small.

To perfect the advancement ritual and greatly increase the chances of achieving Dao integration, in addition to other auxiliary materials, one also needs a supreme treasure that can merge with one's own power and contains a certain amount of the will of Heaven and true spirit.

Such treasures are extremely rare. Even Nascent Soul cultivators without a powerful background would generally need to overcome numerous hardships and dangers, teetering on the brink of death several times, and only those with exceptionally good fortune would have a chance of obtaining them.

Not to mention, it also needs to be compatible with one's own zodiac sign.

Decades ago, such things were priceless treasures.

Now that the calamity of chaos has descended, the upper echelons of the Heavenly Realm have also taken some out to use as military merit rewards or to put in the shop.

Among them is a fire-attribute treasure called Thunderfire Garuda, which has the appearance of two outstretched crimson wings.

Unfortunately, this thing has nothing to do with the Fire Phoenix, but is transformed from the true essence of a fallen Golden Roc, and its compatibility with Xi Heng is relatively low.

Currently, Xi Heng's idea is to find a Time Stone Mother as a substitute for the Heavenly Dao Spiritual Treasure.

Even though a single Time Stone Mother is not enough to serve as the main material for advancement, given her current level of mastery over the power of time, she can draw in a tributary of the Time Sea to infuse the Time Stone Mother, raising its status to another level, making it barely usable.

However, this plan has encountered a small obstacle at the moment – ​​the Time Stone Mother is not sold in the Jingtian Realm Grand Mall.

Given the vastness of the Heavenly Realm, and the fact that no one else needs the Time Stone Mother besides herself, there must be a certain amount of it in this world.

Finding it yourself shouldn't be too difficult; the real trouble is transportation.

In these chaotic times filled with calamities, even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator would find it no easy task to traverse the Heavenly Realm.

"I also need to save up for the teleportation fees I'll need after returning to the main city... I remember stable teleportation is really expensive, so I'll have to take it slow."

Furthermore, renting a place for advancement to the Dao realm is quite expensive, in addition to various other materials.

To achieve a perfect promotion, you still need to accumulate more money.

"However, my cultivation level isn't high enough yet..." After thinking this, the girl began to fill in the details of the aquarium in front of her.

The celestial avatar continued to expand the death energy and collect light runes.

In addition, Xi Heng has recently sent out two more avatars with less consciousness and lower spiritual energy reserves.

One of them is leading Su Ziyuan on a flying boat to the Xuanxiao Realm, which is protected by the Light Disaster, while the other clone is traversing the void alone, flying far away to the coordinates of the edge of the void that Jin You had marked for her.

The calamities in the upper part of the void continue to rage. According to several news reports from the Heavenly Realm, the pure white light calamity has also reached the once relatively peaceful Eastern Continent region, wreaking havoc on living beings.

Meanwhile, the cultivators sought to survive, or took advantage of this chaotic era to continue their ascent to higher realms.

……

Time flies, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

The aquarium and amusement park built by Xi Heng have been in operation for a long time, attracting many tourists who want to try something new and find the tickets cheap.

Although the spirit beings generally had information about various types of fish, this was the first time they had actually seen a living creature, and they couldn't help but be curious.

The arrival of tourists added to the lively atmosphere of the place, and Xi Heng strolled around with Yin Wanluan.

Walking along the wide corridor, you can see countless schools of fish swimming around when you look up.

Most fish have graceful lines and either bright or refreshing colors, and their movements are fluid as they swim.

A small portion of the aquatic amber transformed into schools of deep-sea fish, each with a strange shape and appearance. Some even resembled anglerfish, with a beam of light shining from the top of their heads.

This wasn't the first time Yin Wanluan had accompanied Xi Heng to this place, but looking around from the bottom of the lake, she still found it beautiful.

She also remembered that Xi Heng had built this place specifically for her, so she was always in a good mood whenever she came here.

Although she is not the type to show her feelings easily, she had a smile on her face today.

"The dwellings beneath that floating island are also finished." Standing among the structures built by Xi Heng, she spoke of her recent activities.

"I saw it before, it looked like a church." Xi Heng recalled the residence he had seen a few days ago, which was indeed magnificent.

Its appearance is mainly silver-white, with towering spires, painted glazed tiles on the sides, and the walls are made of dark and red light to create a gradient color. The top is made of gray and silver to form a pattern that resembles a nebula.

She realized at the time that it was built on the atmosphere of the main city of Purification, which had been burned down years ago.

Although Yin Wanluan never said it, it was clear that he still had a strong attachment to his former realm.

Perhaps this is the case for most cultivators who are now wandering in the void?

Xi Heng himself came from outside the world and had no attachment to the Great Zhao Realm at the beginning, only to the few people in the realm.

While accompanying Yin Wanluan to the aquarium, she suddenly thought of something—should she find an opportunity to return to the Tianzhao archives and bring her senior sisters here?

"This fish is truly peculiar. It has wings and seems like it should be flying in the sky, but it swims in the water."

Yin Wanluan held Xi Heng's hand and looked at the manta rays swimming by.

“Flying in the sea counts as flying, right?” the girl replied casually.

In his heart, he thought—the current time is not particularly peaceful.

Let's put it aside for now and wait until I've achieved Dao Integration before deciding whether to bring over Tian Zhao's relatives and friends.

If reaching the Dao isn't enough, then go for something higher.

She nodded gently and continued to accompany Yin Wanluan as they strolled around.

His mind kept wandering elsewhere, and he thought again that if he brought Chen Fenghuo from Tianzhao Kingdom here, would there be three Chen Fenghuo in the world?

The two have already shown signs of merging; who knows what will happen with three?

"What are you thinking about?" The blonde woman next to her poked her shoulder.

"Think about the future," Xi Heng said vaguely, looking at the other person's face.

"The future is always uncertain; no one can say for sure whether it will be good or bad." The other person chuckled. "Since you're with me today, why don't you think about the present?"

"Okay."

A few days later, the amusement park was over.

Afterwards, Xi Heng followed Yin Wanluan back to the newly built main hall residence and found a large bedroom to decorate together.

This newly built spire hall is not far from the floating island. After resting, she also teleported up there.

The house on the floating island is currently inhabited by only one person, the intelligent entity known as the Great Spirit Mother by many spirit beings, and the spirit being manager named Ningzi.

The spirit creation Yun Tong, whom they had previously hired, had moved to the city, leaving only Da Ling on the floating island to continue researching and developing items related to spirit creations.

Every now and then, some impressive research results emerge, such as tools and instruments that can extend the lifespan or physique of spirit beings or increase work efficiency.

Currently, her most important plan is the reproduction process of the spirit beings.

There is already a production line for spirit creation on the floating island, so it is not difficult to create a physical body for a spirit creation.

Furthermore, after a century of research, certain achievements have been made in understanding the self-awareness of spiritual entities.

During my visit some time ago, Da Ling said that he could use a technique to integrate the spiritual things such as the thoughts, resentments, and obsessions left behind in the world after the death of a spirit body, and then cover them onto the new spirit body to carry out reproduction.

By rebuilding the cycle of reincarnation in this way, the number of spiritual beings in the world can be stabilized, preventing it from continuously decreasing due to lifespan or various unforeseen circumstances.

"Now that you've come back after more than a year, it should be ready by now, right?"

Xi Heng thought to himself as he stepped into the courtyard.

After bypassing the familiar corridor, we entered a somewhat noisy underground space.

The Great Spirit Condensation was still busy inside, seemingly testing something, constantly moving between the workbench and the several basic spirit-created humanoid figures next to it.

When Xi Heng entered and opened the door, the other party could only pretend not to hear and continue to steadily hold a rhombus-shaped blue crystal with the delicate parts hidden in his fingers, slowly touching it to the brow of the other humanoid figure.

The crystals were perfectly embedded, yet they did not elicit any reaction—this was the case for all the spirit-created humanoid figures.

Da Ling took it down in confusion, adjusted the blue crystal containing the divine consciousness, and put it back on, but it was no longer effective.

"That's not how it should be..."

As she spoke to herself, Xi Heng approached from behind and asked:

"Is this crystal the integrated will that has been formed, as mentioned before?"

"That's right, but it still can't function properly. Perhaps something went wrong during the condensation process." Da Ling knew Xi Heng had arrived, so he wasn't too surprised.

"Let me try." The girl gently pinched the crystal from the other person's fingertip in her hand.

He scanned it with his divine sense and then pressed it directly against the forehead of the unconscious spirit-created humanoid figure in front of him.

Volume 1: Chapter 382, ​​The Road Ahead at Dusk

Inside the research room, the bright silver-iron walls subtly reflected the shimmering lights.

In the spacious area below, a production line of spiritual machinery with layers of magical runes on its surface is slowly casting various separate components of the spiritual creation, which are then sent to the continuously operating assembly array behind it.

Thus, a human figure that was not much different from the many people in the outer city was gradually formed.

The spirit beings are roughly the same size and shape, and even their appearance is only slightly modified from various templates, so many of them look quite similar.

In their small societies, to distinguish themselves from one another, they will wear some decorations or get special tattoos for their spiritual bodies. Some will even change their skin color and install completely exaggerated limbs on themselves—but these are all things that happen later. The current production stage is similar to that of hundreds of years ago.

The Great Spirit Condensation Child is rather conservative and has not made many updates to the image of the spirit creation.

At most, we can create mask-like spirit prototypes that can change their appearance, produced by merchants in the city, to give them a fresh experience.

Previously, due to a lack of key materials for forming the mind, this production line for creating complete spirit bodies could not be restarted.

We managed to gather all the materials today and are finally back in operation.

After experiments, it was determined that the most important mental material of the Great Spirit Condensate was largely unaffected, but problems still arose when it was actually put into operation.

The blue-green crystallized mind had clearly formed a new thought, and no errors were found during testing with other similar instruments. However, problems still arose when it was implanted after successfully passing the test.

The crystal is visible on the instrument, indicating that it is connected to the target.

However, the spirit-created body before them remained like a puppet, only able to perform designated actions according to the basic logic and the verbal instructions of the awakener.

Although the instruments show that its mind fluctuates slightly with commands and actions, there is no outward fluctuation.

Just as a spirit-created being's heart has a surface and a subconscious, so too does a real person's mind. That mental crystal only works in the subconscious and does not affect the surface.

Thus, the spirit-created entity merely obeys commands like a puppet and does not operate spontaneously.

Upon seeing this, Da Ling Ningzi initially intended to send it into the Spirit Creation Awakening Program to give it a try.

Although we don’t yet understand why mind crystals work this way, much of the research in the world has been driven by trying things out here and there.

Humans are like this, and she, as an artificial intelligent being, has inherited this habit.
