Dragon Devouring Cultivation

Chapter 428 Foundation
Li Zhen had been observing the development of the clone continent with a detached eye. Now, the small world was just like the main world, and with the presence of native life, the small world was full of vitality.

He passed on a great deal of knowledge to the clones, which was almost equivalent to another immortal civilization.

But he wasn't worried at all; no matter how much the clones developed, they would still be a part of his little world.

As the master of the small world, he is the god of the small world, the will of heaven and earth. Any existence that goes against the will of heaven and earth will be intolerable to heaven and earth.

Generally speaking, the universe will show leniency to all life.

Just as the Great Dao is fifty, and the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, with one being hidden away, so whether it is divine punishment or heavenly tribulation, the one who suffers it will have a sliver of a chance to survive, it just depends on whether they can seize it.

That's because the will of the main world doesn't have true intelligence; the will of the small world is Li Zhen's will.

When he wants a life or even an entire race to disappear, the heavens and earth will unleash a raging fury, completely annihilating the beings he cannot tolerate.

As for the strongest manifestation of the will of heaven and earth, let's compare it with the power of the heavenly lightning when he was undergoing the fifth-order heavenly tribulation. Apart from him, there is probably no other cultivator who could withstand the heavenly lightning of that level.

Now he can unleash this level of divine punishment in the small worlds, controlling the life and death of all living beings in those small worlds.

Furthermore, and most importantly, clone cultivators from the small world do not need any contracts. They are marked with the small world's imprint from birth and are controlled by Li Zhen.

Unless a cultivator surpasses Li Zhen in cultivation level, the mark cannot be broken.

Li Zhen's extraordinary brain is capable of completely monitoring the behavior of millions of people across the entire clone continent. In this way, he is essentially tempered by the mortal world.

His character grew stronger without him even realizing it through this observation, and after discovering the benefits, he added another task to his cultivation practice.

"It seems the bottleneck of the small world has disappeared!" On this day, when the population of the clone continent exceeded ten million, he discovered that the bottleneck that had been restricting the small world's improvement had disappeared.

It should be noted that within the temporal turbulence, he devoured a massive amount of temporal sand through the Dragon Heart, causing the small world to continuously grow.

However, when the small world grew to half the size of the main world, it encountered a bottleneck and could no longer make any further progress.

I originally thought it was because the small world was not the true main world, but now it seems that it is because there are not enough intelligent beings in the small world.

After discovering that the bottleneck in the small world had disappeared, he entered the spacetime turbulence again and began to continue his work of devouring the spacetime quicksand.

This time, however, he was extra careful to prevent attacks from the void lifeforms.

This seclusion lasted another century, during which he never stopped absorbing the quicksand of time.

All the useful things in the quicksand of time and space were devoured by him and thrown into the small world, turning into special seeds of the small world. In the future, various spiritual realms will form wherever these seeds are located.

He has opened up a domain that spans a kilometer in the spacetime turbulence.

In his judgment, the small world should be about the same size as the main world.

The clone continent within the small world has also doubled in size proportionally. After a hundred years of development on the outside and a thousand years on the inside, the civilization of the clone continent has reached a level comparable to that of a celestial kingdom.

In many aspects, the Clone Continent is even ahead of the Immortal Kingdom.

The Clone Continent has far more resources than the Immortal Kingdom, allowing for extensive research. While the Immortal Kingdom's research was halted due to resource scarcity, the Clone Continent has a guaranteed abundance of resources, enabling it to conduct in-depth studies.

In terms of population, the clone continent has more than 5 billion people, of which the proportion of those with earth spirit roots or higher is still 10%, meaning one in ten people is an earth spirit root cultivator.

It is precisely because of the large number of cultivators with high-grade spiritual roots that the number of Nascent Soul True Monarchs on the clone continent, which has a population of over five billion, has now reached fifty thousand.

This doesn't mean that only these 50,000 cultivators on the clone continent have the ability to become Nascent Soul True Monarchs, but rather that the resources of the clone continent can only supply 50,000 Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

Only when one Nascent Soul True Monarch perishes can a new Nascent Soul True Monarch appear.

The number of Golden Core cultivators following Nascent Soul True Monarchs is enormous. Considering the talent of cultivators with Earth Spirit Roots, given sufficient resources, their chances of advancing to the Golden Core stage are extremely high. It's only because the amount of fourth-tier resources is somewhat limited that the number of Nascent Soul True Monarchs is restricted.

"It seems we'll have to open the entire small world to clones!" Li Zhen muttered to himself.

He no longer planned to use the ability to fast-forward time. In order to maintain the time ratio of the clone continent, his six fifth-order perfected nascent souls were providing energy to the clone continent, thus maintaining a tenfold time flow rate.

But this is his limit. Once the restrictions on the clone continent are lifted and the entire small world is opened to the clones, there will inevitably be more Nascent Soul True Monarchs among the clones, and he will no longer be able to maintain ten times the time flow.

In addition, he also wanted to pass on the Nascent Soul cultivation technique to the clones. When several Nascent Soul cultivators appeared among the clones, his small world would surpass the Immortal Kingdom in strength.

Even now, with the Nascent Soul stage no longer being observed, the ordinary combat power of the Immortal Kingdom is already weaker than that of the clones.

A 50,000 Yuan Nascent Soul True Monarch—what does that even mean? Li Zhen had to devour a large number of spiritual objects in the spacetime turbulence to ensure the total amount of resources in his small world.

Spiritual beings that can exist in the turbulent flow of time and space are all extraordinary.

When he expanded his domain to a radius of one kilometer in the spacetime turbulence, the number of spiritual objects he obtained became exaggerated.

After being devoured, the spirit objects transformed into energy seeds and were released into the small world. Over thousands of years, some of these early energy seeds transformed into high-grade spirit mines, while others transformed into spirit springs, spirit lakes, and other spiritual realms.

The resources in this small world are unparalleled by other worlds, whose will is unconscious, allowing them to live and die on their own.

But things are different in the small world. Li Zhen bestowed upon them a ready-made cultivation system and the technology of the immortal kingdom, and could also guide the clones to avoid detours through the will of heaven and earth.

With the successful example of the Immortal Kingdom as the main world, how could the clones in the small world go astray!
On this day, the weaker clones felt nothing, but the 50,000 clones at the Nascent Soul stage sensed the changes in the world.

The restrictions on the Nascent Soul realm have disappeared, and Nascent Soul cultivators now have the opportunity to advance to the Deity Transformation realm within the small world.

At the same time, another immortal stele was added, but this immortal stele had restrictions on those who could comprehend it, requiring a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage to be qualified to comprehend it.

When a great cultivator stood up from in front of the immortal stele, his eyes were shining.

"We have found a new path; the path to becoming a deity has been opened!" he excitedly announced loudly.

Upon hearing this news, the Nascent Soul True Monarchs were extremely excited, and another piece of good news plunged them into frenzied cultivation.

Their world expanded, gaining much more land, which was extremely rich and had enough resources to double the number of Nascent Soul True Monarchs, and even more resources to advance to the Divine Transformation stage.

Li Zhen observed the clones in the small world with great interest. He was very curious about where a clone would ascend to if it advanced to the Nascent Soul stage and then ascended to the later stages of Nascent Soul.
Is it to ascend to the immortal realm outside, or to the upper realm?
The possibility of ascending to the Immortal Kingdom is slim, as the Immortal Kingdom cannot support the existence of cultivators who have reached the Void Refinement stage.

But if he ascends to the upper realm, wouldn't his small world be just like the main world outside?

Could it be that those main worlds are actually transformed from the domains of cultivators who have reached the Void Refinement stage?
One question after another arose in his mind, and he seemed to have grasped the essence of the world, and his state of mind was constantly strengthened in this process of thinking.

The height Li Zhen stands at now has freed him from worldly thoughts; his mind has truly reached a state of detachment from worldly concerns.

Unfortunately, he will ascend before the clone, so the clone's ascension will not provide him with the experience of ascension.

He has now reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage in cultivation, and he is a Nascent Soul Great Perfection cultivator with six Nascent Souls.

In terms of physical body, he had long since reached the fifth level of perfection in body refinement, and had even obtained the defensive divine power of the Xuanwu divine beast, making him the pinnacle of defense in the world.

In terms of spirit, his spirit not only increased with the improvement of his cultivation, but also devoured the soul energy of void life, allowing his spirit to almost reach the ultimate level of the God Transformation realm.

His domain was equally powerful; even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator could be suppressed within it.

Finally, there is his character. Having experienced over a thousand years of civilization on the clone continent, his character is as firm as a rock.
