Chapter 247: Promotion of Soul Continent

The Intelligent City is the most restraining force against the Immortal Alliance.

Once the Intelligent Machinery City disappears, the Immortal Alliance will inevitably take action, and Lu Yan's dominance will only slightly advance the inevitable war.

As Lu Yan's order was conveyed, Master Yunlu personally went to the front line to inspect the core territory of the Intelligent Machinery City.

After confirming that the Intelligent City and the core territory had completely disappeared, the entire Dongtian World began to mobilize for war.

One after another, the closed treasure pavilions were opened, and the magic weapons and elixirs stored in them were taken out and used to improve the overall strength of the monks.

The tide of spiritual energy that originally erupted once every three years was no longer restricted under the intentional control of the True Transmission Hall. Every moment, a large amount of spiritual energy gushed out from deep underground in the cave world.

The Foundation Establishment monks began to practice the large-scale formation presided over by the Golden Core monks, and took the initiative to rush to the front line to fight for the resource territories left behind by the Intelligent Machinery City.

When the Immortal Alliance rushed to the front line, they suddenly discovered that the Kingdom of Gods had already secretly occupied most of the resource territory of the Intelligent Machinery City.

The two sides tacitly agreed not to take action, but instead began to divide up the territory of the Intelligent City.

But everyone knows that once forces from other versions begin to intervene and the balance is broken, a war that affects the entire Great Collapse Realm will ensue.

Cave world, Red Lotus Fairy Island.

Lu Yan sat in the Zhongyuan Palace in the center of the fairy island, absorbing and exhaling the vast amount of spiritual energy that was almost liquefied above the fairy island.

Every time Lu Yan breathes in and out, he can activate the formation of Zhongyuan Palace. A huge amount of spiritual energy transforms into a huge vortex that continuously replenishes Lu Yan's tenth level of supreme Tao foundation.

The seventeen fairy islands in the Dongtian world correspond to the ten major sects of the Xuanmen and the seven supreme sects of the magic path, and the Red Lotus Fairy Island is exactly where the Red Lotus Demon Sect is located.

After Lu Yan took control of the entire Immortal Alliance, everyone in the Red Lotus Demon Sect felt insecure.

After all, the whole dispute was caused by the Red Lotus Demon Sect, and even several true disciples of the Red Lotus Demon Sect tried to kill Lu Yan.

At the moment, Lu Yan was in control of the situation. Although he did not immediately liquidate the Red Lotus Demon Sect, everyone knew that this was just Lu Yan maintaining stability within the Immortal Alliance.

Once the war starts, Lu Yan only needs a few orders to send the disciples of the Red Lotus Demon Sect to the most dangerous battlefield, and no one can find any fault with it.

In order to avoid this situation, the true disciple of the Red Lotus Demon Sect took the initiative to find Lu Yan and transferred the control of the Red Lotus Fairy Island along with the massive resources stored within it to Lu Yan.

In the eyes of the people of the Red Lotus Demon Sect, Lu Yan can only control the Red Lotus Fairy Island for a few decades at most. Once Lu Yan is over a hundred years old, he will be expelled from the Great Collapse Realm, and then the Red Lotus Fairy Island will fall into the hands of the Red Lotus Demon Sect again.

Exchanging decades of control over the fairy island for stability is definitely a good deal.

As for the resources accumulated within the Red Lotus Fairy Island, at worst they can just be accumulated later.

If things really develop as Lu Yan described, and the territory of the Immortal Alliance continues to expand, those resources can be made up in just a few decades.

It is precisely because of the Red Lotus Demon Sect's little tricks that Lu Yan is the only one on the huge Red Lotus Fairy Island.

No matter how the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on the fairy island changes, no one can see the strange phenomena when Lu Yan is practicing.

As early as in the Xianxia version of Taiyi Cave Heaven, Lu Yan had filled up the nine levels of the Supreme Dao Foundation, but because the tenth level of the Supreme Dao Foundation could not be found in the entire Xianxia version, Lu Yan had not been able to complete it completely.

In this resource-rich Great Collapse Realm, Lu Yan finally filled up the tenth level of his Tao foundation with the help of the fairy island that had been transformed by the Red Lotus Demon Sect over tens of thousands of years.

As the last trace of pure spiritual energy merged into the supreme Taoist foundation, Lu Yan's cultivation was finally completely complete.

In terms of the power of mana alone, Lu Yan, who is at the tenth level of Dao Foundation, is almost as good as a mid-stage Jindan.

Slowly opening his eyes, Lu Yan looked around himself and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

"It took only half a month to complete the foundation building. This progress is much faster than expected."

At this point, Lu Yan could clearly sense that the Golden Core Realm was just around the corner.

Even with just a thought, Lu Yan can easily achieve the Golden Elixir realm, and the seed of supreme magical power can also blossom and bear fruit.

But Lu Yan knew very well that entering the Golden Core stage before the seed of supreme magical power was completely nurtured would only deplete his basic potential.

If you can't push yourself to the limit, how can you compete with the exclusive version of the only one in this world?
Feeling a little relieved, Lu Yan recalled the current situation.

Taking control of the situation of the Immortal Alliance and starting war mobilization is the first step in Lu Yan’s plan, but relying solely on the power of the Immortal Alliance is far from enough.

Lu Yan was very clear that his current prestige was largely based on the invincible strength of the underworld messenger after he became a god.

Once the subsequent battles become fierce and the other versions of the forces send out their top warriors, Lu Yan will inevitably show up to meet the enemy.

Once his true strength is exposed, Lu Yan will lose control of the Immortal Alliance.

Therefore, Lu Yan’s top priority is to improve his own strength as quickly as possible to ensure that he has the means to at least compete with the strong men at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

Only in this way can we stabilize the situation and have hope of completing the deal with the Great Collapse of Heaven.

Lu Yan has three methods to improve his strength.

The first method is to complete the cultivation of the seed of supreme magical power as soon as possible, advance to the Golden Elixir stage, and obtain the Great Dao Golden Elixir.

Once he is promoted to the Golden Core Stage and masters supreme magical powers, it will be no problem for Lu Yan to compete with the Yuanying Stage with his strength. With the help of the Human Emperor Banner, he should be able to fight against the peak Yuanying Stage masters.

The second method is to start with the most powerful Human Emperor Banner in Lu Yan's hand. Once the rules inside the Human Emperor Banner are sorted out, the Soul Continent will completely complete the transformation into a small world.

By then, with the help of a small world comparable to the kingdom of God, it would be possible to threaten the strong men at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

The third method is to be within the rule of destruction suppressed by the Xuanpin Gate.

If he could completely refine the rules of destruction, Lu Yan could use his supreme magical powers to regain some of his power, and it would not be impossible for him to kill a peak Nascent Soul cultivator.

However, refining the rules of destruction is difficult, and if you do not have a sufficient foundation in cultivation, you will hurt yourself if you refine it rashly.

Even if he could overcome the difficulties and had the trump card to kill a peak Nascent Soul expert, if his own cultivation was too low, he would probably be killed by the peak Nascent Soul expert before he could use the trump card, so the third method was temporarily shelved by Lu Yan.

The only options Lu Yan had were the first two methods.

However, both methods require one thing to support them, that is, a large amount of rule resources!

Perfecting the seed of supreme magical power requires a large amount of rule resources, and accelerating the transformation of the soul continent also requires the assistance of rule resources.

Adding the two together, the amount required is terrifying. Even if Lu Yan emptied the Intelligent City, he was unable to make up for the gap in rule resources.

However, as Lu Yan took control of the Immortal Alliance, he had already figured out the gap in rules and resources.

Slowly getting up from the mat, Lu Yan waved his sleeves and walked out of Zhongyuan Palace.

“It’s time to verify the harvest.”

After flying out of Zhongyuan Palace, Lu Yan flew straight to the highest point of the Dongtian World, his figure cutting through the sky like a stream of light. As the altitude continued to rise, the azure sky gradually became thinner, and finally suddenly changed at a critical point, revealing a vast and magnificent starry sky.

This starry sky is not an ordinary void, but a strange celestial phenomenon composed of countless bright stars. The stars move along specific trajectories, forming a complex and exquisite array structure.

In the center of the starry sky, a crystal clear, majestic and spectacular pagoda is suspended in the sky, and the stars in the sky are all the brilliance emanating from this pagoda.

“This thing is called the Zhoutian Star Tower, and it is a divine treasure refined by a divine craftsman. Its status far exceeds that of ordinary spiritual treasures.

However, in the Great Collapse Realm, such precious treasures are suppressed by heaven and earth, and can only be used to suppress the cave world. "

In front of the Zhoutian Star Tower, a beautiful female cultivator took the initiative to explain to Lu Yan who had just arrived.

The female cultivator stood in the void, wearing a black dress that flowed like ink, outlining her graceful figure. The hem of her skirt danced lightly in the wind, and faint blood-colored patterns could be seen at the edge, as if countless wronged souls were struggling and wailing in it.

Her skin was as white as cream, her face was exquisite and perfect, and her red lips were like blooming Lycoris radiata, enchanting and dangerous. Her eyes looked gentle at first glance, but a closer look revealed a frightening malice.

This malice was not directed at Lu Yan, but seemed to be directed at all living beings in the world.

Lu Yan looked at the beautiful female cultivator in front of him. Her cultivation level at the early Nascent Soul stage and her demonic aura made Lu Yan think of only one person.

"Master Killer?"

The True Lord of Killing gently stroked her red lips with her fingertips and looked at Lu Yan curiously with her beautiful eyes.

“I thought Envoy Lu had reached the limit of the foundation-building realm, but I never thought that Envoy Lu could break through again in just half a month.

Even if you search the world of immortal cultivation for countless years, you probably won’t find a foundation-building cultivator who has gone further than Envoy Lu.”

Lu Yan did not comment on Lord Shasheng's comments, but just looked at the Zhoutian Star Tower.

"Is what I want in there?"

"Yes."

Lord Shasheng nodded, then looked at Lu Yan meaningfully.

“In the past half month, the True Transmission Hall has mobilized all the rule resources of the Immortal Alliance. Yunlu, Canfa and I have even brought 50 True Transmission Hall masters to the Ten Directions Martial Arts School and borrowed most of the rule resources from those Heavenly Warriors.

These rule resources are stored in the Zhoutian Star Tower. Even if you search the entire Great Collapse Realm, no force can come up with so many rule resources. "

Half a month ago, after Lu Yan took control of the League of Immortals, the first decree he issued was to collect as many rule resources as possible.

The entire upper echelons of the Immortal Alliance were mobilized, and the mission was completed in just half a month.

Even though he was outside the Zhoutian Star Tower, Lu Yan could still feel the fluctuations transmitted by the massive amount of rule resources inside the tower.

In the already perfected supreme foundation of Tao, the Chaos Sun transformed from the seed of supreme magical power seemed to feel the fluctuation of these rule resources, and the flames on it kept leaping as if it couldn't wait to enter in and devour all the rule resources.

Lu Yan walked towards the Zhoutian Star Tower, and at this moment the voice of Lord Shasheng came from behind him.

"Excuse me, I really want to know why Envoy Lu collected so many rule resources?"

Lu Yan paused, turned his head slightly to look at the True Lord of Killing, and responded:

"Is it you, or are you guys?"

True Lord Shasheng smiled and said: "Rule resources are extremely precious. The rule-level resources in the Zhoutian Star Tower are not only accumulated by the Immortal Alliance for tens of thousands of years, but in order to collect these resources, we almost broke off relations with the Ten Directions Martial Arts.

All the True Disciples just want an answer, and I hope Envoy Lu will agree."

Rule resources are indeed extremely precious, but there are only a few people who can use them.

In the Alliance of Immortals, only those who want to repair incomplete divine treasures or master the true power of the Earthly Demons will use some specific rule resources such as star sea sand and dimensional fragments.

This is true not only for the League of Immortals, but also for all versions of the forces, including the Intelligent Machinery City.

In particular, the war fortresses in the Intelligent City must manufacture corresponding rule modules, which requires specific rule resources. This results in most of the rule resources being unable to be effectively utilized.

If it was given to a strong person above the level of God Transformation, perhaps it could be used, but the things in the Great Collapse Realm cannot be brought back to the world of immortal cultivation, so these things were naturally left behind.

Most of the rule resources within the Zhoutian Star Tower cannot be used.

Lu Yan ordered the Immortal Alliance to collect rule resources without even restricting any types, which naturally made the true disciples extremely curious about Lu Yan's purpose.

"It's just practicing a magical power."

After responding in a calm tone, Lu Yan stepped into the Zhoutian Star Tower, leaving behind the stunned True Lord Shasheng.

The palm of his hand hidden under his sleeve pinched the unresponsive mantra command, and Lord Shasheng could no longer suppress the shock in his heart.

“Even the legendary Tiangang Great Divine Ability would not consume so many rule resources.

What kind of magical power does this Envoy Lu possess?"

The moment Lu Yan stepped into the Zhoutian Star Tower, the scene before him made him hold his breath.

The space inside the tower is thousands of times larger than what is shown on the outside, as if an independent universe is cleverly sealed in here. There are endless galaxies above the head, flowing star tracks under the feet, and thousands of strange objects floating around.

Not far away, a crystal-clear Bodhi tree was suspended in the void. The tree was half green and half dead, and the dead part kept falling off and growing again in an instant, forming an eternal cycle. Hundreds of fruits were hanging on the tree crown, each emitting a different light and scent.

The rules of life and death coexist on this Bodhi tree, turning it into an object of rules.

At the other end there was a broken hourglass suspended. The sand in the hourglass flowed from bottom to top contrary to common sense. The surrounding space seemed to be subtly distorted, and one could even see several scenes of time flowing backwards.

There are countless similar special items, some of which are so strange that they cannot be described in words.

A passage of words engraved with rules or a recorded momentary picture, in this incomplete version, may carry the rules and turn into these magical rule resources.

Lu Yan took a deep breath and slowly walked to the center of the Zhoutian Star Tower.

Ignoring the restless seed of supreme magical power in his body, Lu Yan took out the Human Emperor Banner. As the long banner was waved, the majestic aura of the Human Emperor swept in all directions, and the Soul Continent appeared within the Zhoutian Star Tower.

The stars twinkled in the sky above the Soul Continent, that was the probability cloud starting to calculate, and then the five great ghosts and gods quietly descended.

In the past half month, the five great ghosts and gods have not been idle. They have modified the ghost computer according to the algorithm of the Laplace Demon's omniscient calculation center, and also have the authority to interfere with the rules.

As the orders from the five great ghosts and gods came down, the ghost soldiers and generals formed a large formation to incorporate the strange rules into the soul continent. The probability cloud turned into the hands of stars, weaving complete rules.

On the Soul Continent, everything is condensing from the illusion accumulated by soul computing power into reality.
