Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 519 Eternal Paradise

What exactly does 【Yongleyuan】 look like?

With the token left by the Ancestor Tingyou, Lü Yang quickly made contact with this mysterious place that seemed to exist yet was also real.

It turns out that humans cannot imagine things they have never seen before.

Even someone as talented as Master Tingyou was no exception, so the [Eternal Paradise] he created naturally drew inspiration from something he came into contact with most often in his daily life—

The Banner of Ten Thousand Spirits.

Looking around, Lü Yang saw that the so-called "Eternal Paradise" was actually a huge black box containing countless black coffins. In each coffin lay a cultivator, whose expression was either smiling, in pain, or blank, showing all the different aspects of life in the mortal world.

"My goodness!"

Lu Yang blinked. With the highest level of authority granted by Ancestor Tingyou to the [Eternal Paradise], Lu Yang quickly grasped all the information about this place.

First, there's Yongle Garden itself.

'This mysterious place is very similar in nature to [Worry-Free Heaven], pushing the interplay of reality and illusion to its extreme, situated at the critical point between existence and non-existence.'

"As for the members recruited by [Eternal Paradise], besides the high-ranking members of various sects in Jiangnan, there is also a considerable number of mortals and Qi Refining disciples. [Eternal Paradise] helps them cultivate and become stronger, while they perform missions to maintain the operation of [Eternal Paradise]."

This is a symbiotic relationship.

Moreover, without a doubt, this relationship further strengthened the connection between the masses and [Worry-Free Heaven], and also strengthened the blockade against the True Lord.

About ten years more.

Lu Yang quickly calculated and came to an answer: "In the previous life, it was sealed off for sixty years, but after thirty years, True Monarchs could reveal themselves by burning the cave heaven."

Master Tingyou made improvements based on this.

With the expansion of [Eternal Paradise], the time that True Lords can forcibly descend to the mortal realm has been extended to forty years, although it may not seem like much at first glance.

But everything should be considered in comparison.

The original [Wu You Tian] has been optimized to the extreme by the innate true man Mu Changsheng. This true man, who is blessed with the destiny of heaven and earth, is also exceptionally talented.

In this situation, it is quite remarkable that Master Tingyou was able to design the "Eternal Paradise" and improve the "Heaven of Nothingness".

If we have to point out any flaws in [Yongleyuan], they are not in the hardware aspect.

The problem lies in the flawed design logic.

As Lü Yang reviewed the intelligence regarding [Yongleyuan], he frowned.

'All cultivators recruited by the Eternal Paradise will receive its blessings, and the Eternal Paradise will help them improve their cultivation and spiritual attainment.'

Upon seeing this, Lü Yang was stunned.

How does 【Yongleyuan】 enhance the cultivators under its command? Ancestor Tingyou referenced the Dao Court's system, which is essentially the power of 【Wuyoutian】's fruition.

However, this has its limits.

'Unless it's a level of attainment like the [Eternal Flow of Water], which possesses boundless imagery, the power of that level isn't inexhaustible; using it too much will cause self-destruction!'

Compared to the power of the cultivation level they expended, most of the cultivators they recruited were Qi Refining cultivators, or even mortals, with very few Foundation Establishment cultivators, so they couldn't collect many resources.

It's impossible to break even under these circumstances.

In other words, [Eternal Paradise] is actually consuming the power of [Worry-Free Heaven] to support its members.

This might seem worthwhile to Master Tingyou, since [Yongle Garden] could help Lü Yang increase his chances of winning the gold hunt, but Lü Yang sees it differently.

"All that pure, white power of the Fruit Realm was allocated to the Qi Refining Realm?"

"A sin."

Lu Yang looked heartbroken: "They're just Qi Refining cultivators, not even human yet! The Ancestral Master has been too kind to them! How can [Eternal Paradise] grow stronger like this?" With this thought in mind, Lu Yang immediately began to modify the settings.

First of all, the practice of using the power of fruition to elevate cultivators, as seen in [Yongleyuan], should no longer be allowed. It's purely throwing money away, and you won't even hear a sound about it.

Lü Yang's new character setting is also very simple, and can be summarized in four words:

Open source and reduce expenditure.

From this moment forward, the true forms of all cultivators who join the Eternal Paradise will be sealed away, replaced by illustrious bodies created by the Eternal Paradise using the power of their attainment.

'After that, all the enhancements and upgrades of [Eternal Paradise] were used on the fake body. In this way, [Eternal Paradise] temporarily lent the power of the fruit position to the cultivator, and could take it back at any time. In essence, it was still my property. Wouldn't the manpower cost be saved smoothly?'

In addition, it should be open source.

Starting today, the Yongle Garden officially introduces Yongle Treasure Notes. All upgrades and enhancements to the Yongle Garden must be obtained using Yongle Treasure Notes.

'Completing the task will reward you with Yongle Treasure Notes.'

'The spiritual materials, treasures, Taoist techniques, and rare items obtained through submission can be exchanged for Yongle Treasure Notes. Of course, to me, these are just numbers.'

Essentially, it's a case of getting something for nothing.

After all, the cultivators exchanged Yongle Treasure Notes to improve themselves, but in the end, all the improvement ended up on the fake bodies they created.

It's like I didn't spend a single penny, but I got others to work for free!

Lü Yang didn't care at all. After all, how could he improve if he didn't squeeze every last drop of value out of these people? The strong should ruthlessly exploit the weak!

Ultimately, he never expected these cultivators from the Eternal Paradise to help him fight against others. After all, most of them weren't even human. Their only use was to help him prove the Heavenly Fire and serve as cannon fodder, helping him gather resources and explore dangerous places.

'And they should thank me for that!'

After all, the main body was sealed in the [Eternal Paradise]. The one that went out was just a fake body. Even if it died, it could be recreated. At most, it would lose a little bit of divine consciousness.

In other words, as long as [Eternal Paradise] is not discovered or breached.

Then these cultivators are unkillable!
'However, they can't know about this. It would be best to design a system where the first three resurrections are free, and subsequent resurrections require payment in Yongle Treasure Notes.'

In addition, Lü Yang added dozens of paid points within [Yongleyuan] in order to fully unleash the potential of these talents.

'Expand northwards and overseas!'

With Yongle Garden around, I don't need to worry about governance anymore. Once someone is recruited by Yongle Garden, they're essentially my subordinate!

Of course, the power of the [Worry-Free Heaven] is limited, and Lü Yang cannot send everyone to [Eternal Paradise].

Just like in the Jiangnan region, as long as the right people are recruited by the top leaders who govern a region, the people under their rule will naturally become people under Lü Yang's rule.

Soon, under Lü Yang's impetus, a brand-new [Yongle Garden] began to operate and quickly spread to all corners of the world.

A few months later.

Lu Yang sat upright in the Tianwu Palace, idly pushing the unconscious Empress Xiao aside, and routinely checked the operation of the Yongle Garden these days.

At this moment, the [Heavenly Fire] above the sky has been completely lit up. Its dazzling light can be seen in Jiangdong, Jiangbei, Jiangnan, and even overseas. These are all manifestations of Lü Yang's "power". So far, only the Pure Land of Jiangxi has not yet been touched by him.

However, since there is a Buddha in Jiangxi, we cannot be too hasty.

In comparison, Lü Yang had an unexpected surprise, which was also one of his biggest gains in the months since [Yongleyuan] began its expansion.

The next second, Lü Yang entered Yongleyuan.

Soon, his gaze fell upon a cultivator under the jurisdiction of [Eternal Paradise]. The man was a disciple of the Holy Sect and had recently encountered a problem:
He was possessed.

The object possessing him was a fragment resembling a precious jade, inside which was a figure shrouded in smoke, who had recently been guiding his cultivation.

【Angxiao】!
