Chapter 1042 - 131: Information Confirmation
The foot of Sword Casting Manor.
It is a bustling and prosperous manor, where citizens of Kong Country live, and it is very lively.
There are vegetable markets, inns, shops, places to listen to music, playing Golden Core pinball...
Everything is available.
Currently, Embers can consume things.
For example, Shadow Spirit Rice and Shadow Spirit Rice Wine, which are considered good consumption.
In fact, as an Earth-bound Spirit, this kind of Ghost creature originally consumes humans and kills to grow, it’s just that the growth efficiency is relatively low.
Now these Ghost Villagers have good rice and good meat, their growth speed is not too slow.
As for where the meat comes from?
Sword Casting Manor has created a large batch of High Tier Meat Fields.
"Where is this?" Jiumu Qing asked, unable to help but speak as she looked at the bustling scene.
"There are over a million citizens of Kong Country here."
Ning Zheng smiled gently, saying, "This is the homeland we’ve rebuilt; normally, they just need to use their discarded Space Divine Techniques to make simple Storage Magical Artifacts to earn a living."
"You’re quite good."
Jiumu Qing said, but her heart still felt a sense of grief.
These were ancient Kong Country’s Royal Race, the legendary royal bloodline, with the blood of that Immortal Venerate flowing in their veins, nobility from birth.
They possess one of the three supreme laws, the Power of Space.
But now...
These citizens have fallen to the point where they can only live by making Storage Bags and Storage Rings.
You’re too miserable!
Jiumu Qing looked at Ning Zheng with some sympathy.
Ning Zheng took her through the small town: "Unfortunately, your race is special, with few numbers, otherwise I could invite them to live here."
"I’m very grateful, my people number only a few hundred, no need to bring them here." Jiumu Qing’s gaze flickered, silently noting the location.
This is the home of Kong Country’s citizens; it might just be this person’s weakness.
When the time comes to rebel, she could use the lives of these citizens as leverage, not asking for more, at least to secure her own departure.
Ning Zheng noticed the slight change in her expression but didn’t mind.
Sometimes, having flaws and family as a leader can lead to trust, right? A leader who doesn’t care for their kin wouldn’t be kind to their subordinates.
A leader without attachments might instead make subordinates fearful.
As for Jiumu Qing using these people to threaten her?
That’s not too bad.
When she plans to rebel and threaten, she’ll remember these citizens.
Acting against them would signal it’s time to restart her...
After all, it would only be putting Kong Country’s citizens through hardship.
Ning Zheng values this True Immortal who joined their ranks very much!
Especially since this person could be the parallel entity of one of the current Thirteen Giants, the Refining Cauldron Immortal Venerate, which holds significant strategic importance.
Moreover, her cultivation potential is extremely frightening.
Once a True Immortal Great Perfection, if not for the limitations of the era, where only one Immortal Venerate can emerge of the same type...
This True Immortal Great Perfection could have broken through to Immortal Venerate long ago!
And currently?
Thoroughly subduing and suppressing her, perhaps even secretly assisting a breakthrough, leading Jiumu Qing to become Ning Zheng’s first Immortal Venerate!
Although this idea is somewhat far-fetched.
But the thought is not absurd because Jiumu Qing cannot break through to Immortal Venerate, but rather Ning Zheng cannot suppress this Immortal Venerate’s combat power.
Of course.
There’s still a prerequisite: Jiumu Qing, as Embers, has to awaken; otherwise, Embers can’t break through!
Or, once she awakens and reshapes her foundation, as Ghost King, she’ll likely break through one realm, nine out of ten times appearing as Immortal Venerate!
Awakening means becoming Immortal Venerate!
In summary, Jiumu Qing holds immense strategic significance.
You could say, this behind-the-scenes boss, Ning Zheng obtained the best treasure in this ancient Immortal Venerate tomb.
If not for frantically reloading, restarting, threatening countless times, Ning Zheng couldn’t have created such a miracle: bringing this boss under control.
After all.
Living entities within tombs hold far more value than those Immortal Venerate legacies, pots, bowls, ladles, and other furniture.
When Ning Zheng personally breaks through to Immortal Venerate, putting in some effort, she could also make those pots and bowls.
Things valuable to ordinary people might be just furniture casually created by Immortal Venerates.
Soon.
Demonstrating the operating logic of the manor, from the Golden Core factories and Meat Field plantations, to the various professional zones, and the citizen village at the foot, Ning Zheng brought her to the final stop:
Heaven’s Chosen Town.
The rebranded Jiumu Qing, and Ning Zheng arrived together.
The bustling streets were filled with various Celestial Immortal cultivators, occasionally True Immortal cultivators, all gathering around the Yin Yang Creation Furnace.
"Speaking of which, there is a lack of foundation still."
Ning Zheng sighed, "A secret organization with only one treasure attracting the masses."
"Heart Water Pool can still be used."
Jiumu Qing said, "But you’ll need to gather some Heart Water, which is somewhat troublesome, as Heart Water needs devout pure people to pray, offering, condensing from the dream of a pure mind."
You need to worship to gather Heart Water?
Ning Zheng furrowed her brows.
This thing is quite complicated.
Does Embers have a use?
Maybe recruit a bunch of fearless, tireless, pure Embers to pray daily?
There’s room to try.
The Celestial Destiny World already has Taoist temples everywhere, popular with worship.
Finding some early-deceased pure Ember girls and boys doesn’t seem too difficult.
If successful, the functionality of Embers would rise again.
And according to Ning Zheng’s conjecture, it’s highly likely to succeed, after all, Embers still have a Qi Fortune Value that can hit -2, why can’t it extract Mind Power?
After taking Jiumu Qing for a round, observing a group of True Immortal experts in the synthesis laboratory, synthesizing creations with raw materials from the Thirteen Giants Civilization’s synthesized races.
Jiumu Qing’s expression turned solemn: "It feels like most civilizations have predecessors; I recognize similar auras in at least seven, like the Zhongluan Domain resembling a wood-series Celestial Immortal faction from prehistoric civilization."
Ning Zheng, understanding, smiled and added, "But in reality, perhaps not just seven; some have changed so much from their original form that they’re unrecognizable."
"Indeed."
Her Jiumu Race, being the original of metals, the Mother of Gold.
And the Refining Cauldron Domain?
It is a race with Gold Attribute added to changes from other attributes.
Mainly Gold, secondary Fire.
And in the Refining Cauldron Domain’s Magma Firemen, the fire in them brings a familiar scent, some legacy from a Fire Attribute Alchemy Immortal Venerate.
Refining Cauldron Domain fused two Immortal Venerate races...
"In this aspect, the True Man Danding in the experiment might also be one of my successors altered."
Jiumu Qing showed a strange expression.
"Oh?" Ning Zheng was very interested.
Jiumu Qing opened her Storage Ring, taking out a Metal Stone:
"This might be her original body; the Jiumu Race’s metal frequencies are unique, perhaps another me cultivated this inherited metal with our kin.
Ning Zheng:"..."
He wasn’t very knowledgeable, but does it really seem like it?
If holding this Metal Stone up, telling one of the richest True Immortals, the Immortal Realm’s alchemist, True Man Danding, "Your original body is here, what do you offer to redeem your original form?"
Ning Zheng withdrew his scattered thoughts, suddenly feeling like the blacksmiths have completely influenced him, with a thinking pattern becoming more peculiar.
"That’s indeed normal."
Ning Zheng smiled, "After the new era began, we these descendants of Immortal Venerates, compared to those poor bottom-level cultivators, naturally hold the advantage, re-establishing the Immortal Realm is perfectly normal."
"Indeed."
Jiumu Qing showed a feeling of sentiment.
The timeline has disappeared, time cannot be interfered with now, and coming into the world late means one must withstand hardship.
In Ning Zheng’s wave of confirmation leading, she felt thoroughly uneasy, but she could silently grow under his leadership, letting him bear these crises was not bad.
She planned to endure for a while, first developing secretly.
Next, Ning Zheng let her depart.
He directed her to continue managing the old sect remnants outside, clearing out some space.
Conveniently preparing to buy some population, enriching his tomb world.
After all.
Celestial Destiny World earns 25 billion daily, feels somewhat insufficient, this tomb world also needs to establish a second Qi Fortune pasture.
