Cultivation begins with separation.

Chapter 394 Return
Time flows slowly, and a few years pass in the blink of an eye.

Yi Dong is losing his sense of time.

With the Demon Gate, he was able to suppress the spatial fragments much faster.

Previously, he needed to consider the connections between spatial chakras and whether the spatial chakras, once constructed, could stably suppress spatial fragments.

Now, the ability of the spatial chakras to suppress spatial fragments is no longer important; it is only necessary to consider the connections between the spatial chakras.

This shortcut is still somewhat dangerous. If something goes wrong with the Demon Gate, even the Kunshan Seal won't be able to suppress those unstable spatial fragments.

In terms of suppressing powerful enemies, Kunshan Seal is naturally much stronger, but the Demon Gate can be divided into countless fragments, and its ability to suppress multiple spatial fragments is unmatched by Kunshan Seal.

Another danger is the mutual repulsion between the chakras.

The spatial chakras are like layers of an onion, and in the past, Yi Dong was meticulous and each layer of the spatial chakra was constructed very reasonably.

Now, due to the reduced requirements for the spatial chakras to suppress spatial debris, Yi Dong has also reduced the research time for the new spatial chakras, resulting in the spatial chakra connections not being as close as before.

The Abyss Dao Foundation and the Magic Space are connected to the spiritual energy circuits throughout his body, forming the core of the spiritual energy circuits. The spatial chakras are not closely connected to each other, which means that Yi Dong was almost unable to use complex spells or smoothly run cultivation techniques during this period. In other words, he could not cultivate magic power during this period.

However, Yi Dong didn't think these two shortcomings were anything. First of all, he didn't use serious spells in normal times. Since he started cultivating, apart from the battle against the Nascent Soul cultivators at Zijin Mountain when Kunxu first invaded, he had never had a serious battle.

He probably won't be fighting personally anymore, so whether he can use complex spells is not important.

As for cultivation, he didn't cultivate much after advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage of the Great Dao.

For him, the Foundation Establishment stage was merely a transitional phase. Cultivating at this stage for a hundred years was not as effective as cultivating for a month when he reached the Golden Core stage.

Therefore, even if there is no problem with his spiritual energy circuit, he will not cultivate it.

Of course, the main reason is that neither of these two factors directly threatens his life.

Even if something goes wrong at the Demon Gate, Kunshan Seal can immediately suppress the unstable spatial fragments, and Taixu Sword can remotely help him cut away these spatial fragments.

That is why Yi Dong did not hesitate to choose a short-sighted approach.

It wasn't that Yi Dong wanted to quickly advance to the Great Dao Golden Core stage. After all, whether it was the Great Dao Foundation Establishment stage or the Great Dao Golden Core stage, his own strength was insignificant compared to the Causal Puppet and the True Spirit Longsword.

If he had a choice, he would rather spend three or four thousand years slowly suppressing the spatial fragments and then constructing the Abyss Golden Core.

However, the reality left him helpless.

Research on the outer spatial chakras is becoming increasingly difficult. New spatial chakras need to maintain balance with the previous ones. As the number of spatial chakras increases, the difficulty of constructing new spatial chakras also increases accordingly.

It's difficult enough, but Yi Dong calculated that after suppressing more than a thousand spatial fragments, it might take him ten or even a hundred years to rebuild a new spatial chakra.

In other words, the lifespan required for Foundation Establishment of the Great Dao is insufficient for him to construct the Ten Thousand Layer Abyss Golden Core.

Even if Yi Dong's comprehension isn't the most outstanding among cultivators, it's still in the top tier.

Constructing a regular Great Dao Golden Core or even a higher-level Great Dao Golden Core with complete information would not be a problem.

However, the Abyss Golden Core was deduced by him from some Golden Core construction materials from his Foundation Dao Academy.

If it were to deduce an ordinary Great Dao Golden Core, it wouldn't be a problem for Yi Dong with his comprehension. However, the complex Golden Core construction method of the Abyss Golden Core would take him tens of thousands of years, even with his comprehension.

Of course, if Yi Dong were to rely on the Primordial Purple Apricot or the Great Awakening Puppet to deduce and carry out the deduction, his lifespan would likely be sufficient to construct the Abyss Golden Core.

However, Yi Dong never trusted Tai Chu Zi Xing and Da Jue Kui Lei from beginning to end.

The Abyss Dao Foundation is not only the core of the cultivation technique, but also one of his lifelines. If the Abyss Dao Foundation is damaged, the damage he suffers is second only to having his mana space dug out.

Rather than revealing the Dao Foundation information to the Primordial Purple Apricot or the Great Awakening Puppet, Yi Dong preferred to take a little risk and quickly achieve the Great Dao Golden Core.

On this day, Yi Dong's consciousness surveyed the Abyss Dao Foundation, feeling somewhat satisfied.

In just a few years, the Abyss Dao Foundation, which originally suppressed only a little over a hundred spatial fragments, now has more than three hundred.

The power of the Demon Gate accelerated his progress in suppressing the spatial fragments by more than a thousand times.

With a thought, Yi Dong activated the formation of Zijin Mountain, and a demon pool was teleported to him.

Yi Dong has improved the Demon Pool structure many times. The current Demon Pool does not need to be refined in the Abyss. After it is refined and assembled outside, it can be stored in the Abyss space and then simply embedded.

Now, to suppress a spatial fragment, place a Yellow Heavenly Treasure to assist the Demon Gate in suppression, then embed a Demon Pool, and finally transplant some mutated White Jade Silver Trees, you can obtain a new Abyss Space.

"These past few years, I've been busy suppressing the spatial fragments. I wonder how the demons in the Creation Realm have fared. Hmm, it's time to reap the rewards of their labor."

Just as he was thinking, Yi Dong suddenly received a message.

"Yi Jun and the others are back. Has ten years really passed so quickly?"

Outside Zijin Mountain, Mu Mu, Dongfang Hong, Yi Jun, and others emerged from the starlight vortex.

Yi Yan, Yi Qing, and Zhan Mingyue hadn't returned. At this moment, Mu Mu looked at the formation on Purple Gold Mountain, somewhat speechless.

Most arrays in the world are useless against her starlight teleportation.

Unexpectedly, after he gave the seed of supernatural power to Yi Dong, Yi Dong actually developed an array that could interfere with starlight transmission.

Perhaps Yi Dong already has a method to counter his supernatural powers.

"It seems that information about supernatural powers should not be revealed casually."

Fortunately, I only gave the seed of supernatural power to Yi Dong.

Soon, the formation of Zijin Mountain was activated.

When Mu Mu and her group arrived at Yi Dong's courtyard, Yi Dong was already waiting.

Yi Dong looked at Yi Jun and Yi Ling. Their auras had changed slightly, especially Yi Jun's. It seemed that a dangerous power was hidden in the space around him.

As for Dongfang Hong's advancement to the Golden Core stage, Yi Dong only glanced at it and then ignored it.

Just as Yi Dong was about to say something, Yi Ling sent him a telepathic message.

"The Altar of Cleansing? The Tower of Omniscience?"

For a moment, Yi Dong didn't know what to say.

How can you get so many precious things just by going out on an adventure?

Hmm, it seems that Yi Ling encounters opportunities everywhere he goes: the experience of a hundred lifetimes of reincarnation, the following of the nameless saint, the remains of a pure white being, and now he has obtained two creations that can be called treasures.

With the Cleansing Altar, the inheritance of the Yi family bloodline has become much easier. In the future, the spiritual bodies of the Yi family bloodline will likely be able to awaken after birth, and the number of cultivators will undergo a qualitative change.

The Tower of Omniscience further compensated for his lack of knowledge reserves.

Yi Dong had no shortage of cultivation techniques, but he didn't have much knowledge of the various arts of immortal cultivation.

With the Tower of Omniscience, the Qingzhou Immortal Kingdom will have a foundation for developing and cultivating all arts, and it will no longer need to rely on Yi Jun and others to slowly "introduce" them from the Heavenly Capital Spirit Realm.

The knowledge of the Tower of Knowledge is not the knowledge of human cultivators, but the paths lead to the same goal. By drawing on the knowledge of other races, various techniques suitable for cultivators can be developed very quickly.

Compared to the Qingzhou Immortal Kingdom, knowledge is more important to him. Once he reaches the Great Dao Golden Core stage, he needs to condense his Nascent Soul Dao Field, which will undoubtedly require a great deal of knowledge.

With the Tower of Knowledge, the path to becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator became infinitely wider for him.

"The God of Knowledge that Yi Ling mentioned, could it be that his innate supernatural power is similar to my 'Hall of Knowledge,' a supernatural power that can preserve a vast amount of knowledge?"

Yi Dong's attention was entirely focused on the Tower of Knowledge, and he didn't care at all about what Yi Ling was saying about Buddhist missionary work.

Of course, if Yi Ling hadn't brought out the Tower of Knowledge, he wouldn't have easily allowed Yi Ling to establish a Buddhist sect in the Qingzhou Immortal Kingdom.

It's not that Yi Dong has any issues with Buddhism. If it were a legitimate Buddhist sect, like the Taoist academy, establishing one to compete with the Taoist academy wouldn't be a problem. The main issue is that the Buddhist sect established by Yi Ling is likely not so legitimate, since she received the inheritance of an evil Buddha.

Yi Dong didn't actually care about good versus evil, but he was afraid that one day, the evil Buddhist sect would secretly "exorcise" the humans in his Qingzhou Immortal Kingdom. How many people died was secondary; he was afraid that the evil Buddhist sect would exorcise him.

However, now that Yi Ling has brought out the Tower of Knowledge, the situation is different. Even if the Buddhist sect destroys the Qingzhou Immortal Kingdom in the future, Yi Dong will not lose out.

For Yi Dong, the core of the Qingzhou Immortal Kingdom was never the Frozen Continent, nor the specific human race, but the Qingzhou Grand Array.

As long as the knowledge of the Qingzhou Grand Array remains, he can rebuild the Qingzhou Immortal Kingdom in other spirit realms.

Unfortunately, because Yi Dong had little interaction with Tai Chu Zi Xing, he was unaware that not every world was suitable for establishing the Qingzhou Grand Array.

If he had known, he probably wouldn't have thought that establishing the Qingzhou Immortal Kingdom was easy.

After saying a few words to Yi Dong, Dongfang Hong and Mu Mu wanted to leave. They knew that Yi Ling and Yi Jun were about to leave the Vast Ocean Spirit Realm, and they probably had something to discuss with Yi Dong.

"If you want to leave, you can come to Blue Ice Immortal City to find me."

Mu Mu said something and then left with Dongfang Hong, and A Dong followed them away.

Yi Jun also talked about building the Tomb of the Heavenly Swords, and then said:
"We need Taichu Zixing's help with the fifth-order spirit vein. As for the spirit source needed to build the spirit vein, there was an unexpected problem, and we didn't have time to go to the East Sea to collect it."

"Construct a fifth-order spiritual vein?"
Spiritual sources are a controlled resource of the Immortal Kingdom. It won't be easy for you to obtain spiritual sources in the Heavenly Capital Spirit Realm to build a fifth-order spiritual vein.

Yi Qing and Yi Yan, on the other hand, have quite a few.

As for what special spiritual items a fifth-tier spiritual object needs, go and talk to Taichu Zixing about it.

As he spoke, Yi Dong looked at Yi Ling and gestured for her to take out the Tower of Knowledge.
