Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme

“Hmm!”

Xu Yang chuckled lightly and nodded his head.

“Bang!”

After that, light and shadow fluttered and dissipated.

Beneath the Bodhi Tree, only one person remained.

Xu Yang looked at his empty palm and remained silent for a long time.

Compared with the uncertainty-filled Ascension, his reincarnation cycle also had its fair share of pros and cons.

The benefits go without saying, but the dangers and risks must be mentioned.

The greatest risk was reverting to infancy, shrouded in the mystery of the womb.

If born into a bad situation, with no one to guide him, there is no telling what might happen.

For example, he, reincarnated into the Immortal Cultivation World, became the child of the most humble fisherman’s family, shrouded in the ignorance of prenatal mystery, aimlessly drifting for eighteen years, until his parents passed away, and he finally broke through the confusion to recover his true self.

The hardships during that period are too difficult to put into words.

Fortunately, his cycle of reincarnation was not ordinary; he could infuse the power of his Divine Soul to resist the influence of the prenatal mystery, accelerate the revival of his True Spirit, and potentially regain consciousness of his True Spirit as soon as he was born.

Additionally, the input of the power of the Divine Soul also affected his Cultivation status and other attributes, enhancing the effects of reincarnation to some degree.

What reincarnation effect?

According to Xu Yang’s own understanding, it probably relates to the circumstances of birth and innate talent after reincarnation; the more Divine Soul power invested, the better the circumstances and innate talent following rebirth.

Therefore, Xu Yang had invested all the Divine Soul power he could control, even halting the transfer of Skill Traits early to assist Miss Xin Shisi in her reincarnation wholeheartedly.

This should ensure the recovery of Miss Xin Shisi’s True Spirit and her Cultivation talents after rebirth.

Even with the issues of prenatal mystery and bodily talent resolved, the infancy of rebirth is still fraught with various uncertainties and dangers.

In this regard, Xu Yang had no better solution but could only instruct Miss Xin Shisi to be careful, act after thorough planning, and not to rush and expose her unique nature, attracting dangerous assaults.

Miss Xin Shisi, although naturally pure-hearted, was nonetheless a Seventh Realm cultivator who had lived for more than two thousand years. The ways of human interaction, the dangers and intrigues of the Martial World had long been clear to her.

With his teachings, the Martial Arts Scriptures, and various methods, securing a foothold should not be difficult.

Despite that, Xu Yang did not plan to use “cycle of reincarnation” as a regular method.

Because it was too dangerous and could potentially expose his existence, Zhuanzhou Mengdie, Divine Travel Through Worlds, and his various skill traits’ miraculous abilities.

He wasn’t afraid of betrayal, having lived for thousands of years, he had the ability to see through people’s true natures.

It’s just that, in the Cultivation World, there are endless methods; if he were to reincarnate on a grand scale excessively, sending a large number of people from different worlds into his own, it was possible to clash with some Cultivation expert. If that expert were to soul-search and uncover memories…

The risk would be too great!

Therefore, before he had absolute self-protection, he would not use the cycle of reincarnation as a regular method.

After sending Miss Xin Shisi off, Xu Yang’s Divine Soul also fell into weakness; he leaned against the Three Treasures Bodhi Tree and quietly recovered, at the same time contemplating his next move.

Two thousand years ago, he used the ability of Divine Travel Through Worlds to revive from death, reclaimed the academy, and with the help of True Monarch Changrong and Phoenix Song Fairy, he integrated all Taoist Unity, unified the current Cultivation Realm, and officially launched the era of “Wandao School.”

Thus, the great age of Taoism began.

Now, two thousand years later, having gathered the wit of all beings, he had achieved many results.

Like the Taoist Scriptures, the art of Heavenly Crafts Natural Creation, and the Cultivation methods of Nascent Soul of the SeventhRealm…

All these achievements were the results of exhausting the wisdom of all mortals in the age of flourishing Taoism.

Having achieved results, should he retire from the world of achievement?

Of course not!

Xu Yang had no intention of bidding farewell to this world so soon.

This world had tremendous potential and was connected to the Ancient Immortal Gods. The results he had obtained thus far were just a scratch on the surface.

In the future, this world, this great age of Taoism, would bear even more glorious and brilliant fruits.

He also possessed the ability to travel through numerous worlds, constantly entering this world to harvest its civilization’s fruits and crystallized wisdom.

With that in mind, why would he have any reason to give up?

Not to mention, he was now immortal.

As early as two thousand years ago, when Guo Bei Academy was transformed into the Wandao School, he began to experiment with the Earth Deity Law and found this “Golden Turtle Island” overseas to serve as a Spirit Land.

For that purpose, he expended a great deal of his Divine Soul’s power, transferring the various skill traits of the Earth Deity from the real world to speed up the nurturing of the Spirit Land and the condensation of the Divine Soul.

After more than six hundred years, he finally formed an Earth Ghost Divine Seal on Golden Turtle Island.

Afterward, he began to practice the Earth Deity Law, arranging Earth Veins, adjusting geomancy, planting Spiritual Objects, breeding Spirit Beasts, and even moved the Wandao School here, raising a large number of cultivators and Kind Spirit Monsters.

He then set up various Gathering Spirit Arrays allowing cultivators from this world to infuse their mana, strengthening it day and night. Over time, this development gave rise to the Wandao School of today.

The only Cave Heaven Blessed Land in the world!

Well… it’s not actually a Cave Heaven Blessed Land. According to the Earth Deities’ system of classification, it’s merely considered a mid-grade Spirit Land.

But it’s still impressive. The previous Blackwater River God nurtured it for ten thousand years, and then it grew on its own for another ten thousand years. All those years of accumulation only amounted to a high-grade Spirit Land, and that was in the abundant Spiritual Energy of the Divine Demon World.

In this World of Dao and Law, where the Yuan Spirit lies dormant and Heaven and Earth are exhausted, there is only a slight sign of revival now, and that’s all it is. By the looks of it, without a few thousand or even ten thousand years, Spiritual Energy would be nowhere to be found.

For him to create a mid-grade Spirit Land in such a world, one relied on skill traits and the other on using the Fake Cultivation Skill.

There’s no need to elaborate on skill traits, as they’re existences that defy nature. Given enough time, breaking through the limits of Heaven and Earth is not out of the question.

As for the Fake Cultivation Skill, it’s also miraculous. As long as the population is large enough, that almost translates to infinite resources.

Xu Yang governed the world with the Wandao School, greatly increasing the population, using the spiritual power of billions to enhance the Fake Cultivation Skill, and transforming the mana obtained from this method into Mana Money, to replace Spiritual Energy for production, research, combat, and nurturing of the Spirit Land.

It was practically more efficient than nature’s spiritual energy itself.

With the cooperation of skill traits and the Fake Cultivation Skill, Xu Yang’s Earth Deity Cultivation Method progressed rapidly, creating a mid-grade Spirit Land in just over a thousand years.

Continuing at this rate, in a few thousand years more, Golden Turtle Island could rise to a high-grade Spirit Land, on par with the Blackwater River of the Divine Demon World.

Earth Deities live long lives, and within a Spirit Land, various things can extend an Earth Deity’s lifespan. With the glorious development of the Wandao School, one can imagine how long Xu Yang’s lifespan would be.

Killing him would be really difficult!

But without dying, he wouldn’t be able to initiate a new Zhuanzhou Mengdie to explore new dream worlds.

What should he do?

What else could he do?

If he can’t dream, then he won’t dream!

Xu Yang always had a clear purpose and logical thinking in his actions.

Zhuanzhou Mengdie, Divine Travel Through Worlds, was for the sake of strengthening his power and seeking immortality, not just for the sake of dreaming.

Right now, the value of this World of Dao and Law has surpassed that of ordinary Dream Worlds. Until he has thoroughly assimilated it, Xu Yang will not enter any new worlds.

After all, the foundation of this World of Dao and Law is largely supported by his skill traits. If he were to leave now, and return thousands of years later, he would not find a golden age upon his return but would witness a world fraught with war, bloodshed, slaughter, humans and monsters devouring each other, and even people consuming one another in a bloody apocalypse.

Do not doubt it, for the population of this world has already approached the immense marker of a hundred billion. If the educational system he established collapses and the world’s resources cannot support such a population, wars would inevitably erupt to purge and slaughter until the population is reduced to below the level of production.

Clearly, Xu Yang could not allow such a thing to happen, to see his hard work destroyed in an instant.

So, he can’t die for now. He must wait until the production system of this world is stable, self-sufficient even without his skill traits, and only then can he leave.

On this matter, he already had a direction. The Heavenly Earth Prime Spirit of this world was already reviving, and with the influence of his Earth Deity Law, enduring a few thousand or ten thousand years should be enough to achieve his vision.

During this period, Xu Yang decided to “idle,” shifting his development focus to the real world.

In the World of Dao and Law, his Cultivation reached the peak of the Seventh Realm, corresponding to the Nascent Soul stage, and he held many trump cards, being the master of the Wandao School. The cultivators of the entire world, billions of them, were at his command.

He could truly turn clouds with a flip of his hand, and rain with another, and even if Eight Realms Divinity Transformation practitioners or Ninth Realm powerhouses descended to the Lower Realm, he would have the confidence to wrestle with them.

In contrast, the development of the real world over the past twenty-some years seemed rather paltry.

Feeling insecure about this vast disparity, uneasy feelings filled his heart.

Therefore, Xu Yang decided that for the next period, he would focus on developing the real world, elevating his strength, expanding his influence, and enhancing his own security.
