My blind date failed, so I had to ascend the throne and become emperor.

Chapter 179 The formation seal is about to be broken
a few days later.

Huangling Mountain.

Practice in a quiet room.

Zhou Ping sat cross-legged on a cushion that exuded a fragrance that could help practitioners quickly enter a state of meditation. He opened the virtual frame of national destiny and glanced up.

In the past few days, Deacon Wang, the registered disciple Luo Hong, and the newly joined Xue Di'er have successfully turned Black Crow Lake into the territory of Huangling Mountain. Although the distance from Huangling Mountain to Black Crow Lake is not short, it will take several days for a Foundation Establishment cultivator to fly back and forth.

Even if it is a golden elixir, it will take half a day.

But his strength completely shocked the area around Chiyunfang. As for the demon cultivators in Black Crow Lake, no one dared to resist. According to preliminary statistics, the total number of cultivators in Black Crow Lake exceeded three thousand, not including the servants.

So if we don't count the territory area, the population increase alone directly brought Zhou Ping nearly 10 billion national fortune points, which is very terrifying.

The main reason is that Black Crow Lake has a strong foundation and strength. There are more than two hundred foundation-building cultivators in it, and there are twenty-eight people like Xue Di'er who are in the late foundation-building stage. It can be said that in terms of overall strength, Black Crow Lake can definitely rank among the top five in the Chiyunfang area.

If Zhou Ping had not killed the two Jindan directly, it would have been very time-consuming and laborious to occupy the place by other means.

But the most important thing is the territorial income brought by the spiritual vein cave.

Black Crow Lake is a third-grade, superior spiritual vein.

Far beyond Huangling Mountain.

Wider range.

Therefore, the territory directly increased by 150 billion national fortune points, which is nearly five times that of Huangling Mountain!
Although Zhou Ping was mentally prepared, joy still overflowed from the corners of his mouth when he saw the huge number on the national destiny virtual box.

With so many national destiny points.

He could finally retreat and use his Emperor's talent to practice quickly.

"First, practice for three months, then begin practicing various techniques at the Golden Core level..."

Make a practice plan for yourself.

Zhou Ping then walked out of the quiet room and came to the hall on the mountainside of Huangling Mountain.

This is where business is discussed.

Luo Hong, Deacon Wang, Xue Di'er, and several other Foundation Establishment Elders in charge had been waiting for a long time.

"I've met the mountain master!"

"Meet the Mountain Lord!"

See Zhou Ping.

Everyone saluted respectfully.

Zhou Ping sat at the first seat, looking down at these foundation-building monks, feeling emotional in his heart, no wonder people like power, it really feels good to look down on others.

"Deacon Xue, have all the spiritual vein caves in Black Crow Lake been cleaned up?"

Xue Di'er hurried forward and said, "My Lord, there are a total of 108 spiritual vein caves in Black Crow Lake, including ten high-quality caves. They have all been packed up and are awaiting your instructions."

Except for the superior cave.

The rest of the spiritual vein caves are basically used by other foundation-building masters in Black Crow Lake.

But now they have all moved out and are waiting to be rearranged.

Zhou Ping nodded and looked at Deacon Wang and said, "Have you arranged everything regarding the calculation of Huangling Mountain's contribution?"

Deacon Wang said, "It has been arranged. However, since it takes some time to make the talismans, in two months, all members will be able to receive the contribution talismans. At that time, the cultivation resources can be distributed according to the contributions of the talismans."

The talisman was made by Zhou Ping using his own talisman skills combined with the high technology of Earth and Taiyan Sect. It is equivalent to a smart watch. It contains not only talismans but also formations. It can record and calculate the contributions of all members, which is very convenient.

This is also the first step for him to manage Huangling Mountain well, with clear rewards and punishments.

The reason why many low-level cultivators have no chance is because they cannot get the resources they deserve. But now, according to this talisman, as long as they are willing to work hard, they will gain contributions, and the contributions can be exchanged for the resources of Huangling Mountain.

“What’s the response like down there?”

Zhou Ping asked.

Deacon Wang smiled and said, "Many monks cheered and praised the talisman."

"That's good."

"Once the contribution tokens are ready, the spiritual vein caves in Black Crow Lake will be distributed according to the contributions. As for the contribution task list, I will give you a clearer table later. From now on, calculations will be based on this contribution table."

"Yes, Mountain Master."

Then we discussed some more things.

Deacon Wang and others left one after another.

Looking at the empty hall.

Zhou Ping pondered for a moment. Now that the Chixia Mountains were basically back on track, it was time to make some preparations for the future. He asked, "Senior Ding, how many people can the Taishan teleportation array transport at once?"

Xiao Ding lazily said, "A teleportation array of that level consumes a lot of energy. The more people you teleport, the more energy it consumes. It cost more than a dozen high-grade spirit stones to teleport you and Jiang Xia. If we need to transport a hundred people, it would cost more than a thousand high-grade spirit stones."

Zhou Ping was secretly shocked when he heard this.

Even though he owns Huangling Mountain and Black Crow Lake now, he doesn't have many spirit stones. However, Black Crow Lake occupies a spirit stone vein. Xue Di'er said that this spirit stone vein can produce 50 spirit stones every year.

It is equivalent to 50 high-grade spirit stones.

This is the foundation of a Jindan force.

"Half a year, I have to get some spirit stones after half a year!"

Mining the spirit stone veins was too slow, so he had to use his own Star Hiding Technique to steal the spirit stones.

Suppress your emotions.

He left Huangling Mountain and came to Black Crow Lake with the Star-Destroying Sword.

Since he was going to practice in seclusion for three months, he naturally had to go to the superior spiritual cave in Black Crow Lake to practice.

"Mountain Master."

"These beautiful concubines were carefully selected for you by Di'er. They are all virgins with excellent looks and figures. They can satisfy any of your needs and can also serve and take care of your daily life."

Xue Dier waved her hand, and more than a dozen charming and enchanting female cultivators came out.

Zhou Ping took a quick glance and found that these female cultivators were indeed very beautiful. If they were on Earth, each of them would be a makeup beauty with a score of over 90 points. Some of them also had voluptuous figures with curvy curves. He knew that as long as he showed a little bit of interest, he could easily taste the virgin essence of these female cultivators.

But after seeing and experiencing the stunningly beautiful black-armored woman in the Soul Realm by the Scarlet Fire Jedi Lake, he was no longer very interested in these ordinary female cultivators. Even if he wanted to taste them occasionally, he had no intention of doing so.

After all, I have tasted the beauty of the country.

It’s a pity that I didn’t feel it carefully.

"Let them all go. I need to practice in seclusion. No one is allowed to disturb me without my permission. Violators will be severely punished."

"Yes, Mountain Master."

The female cultivators looked disappointed. They had originally hoped to establish a relationship with such a powerful Jindan, preferably by using their beauty to seduce him, but in the end...

After everyone leaves.

Zhou Ping entered the meditation room.

As his distracting thoughts dissipated, his internal energy began to circulate rapidly.

Assisted by the Emperor's talent.

While consuming a large amount of national fortune points, the abundant spiritual energy in the entire third-grade, superior spiritual vein quiet room gathered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The small cauldron in the sea of ​​consciousness watched this scene and couldn't help but say to himself, "This kid is really a freak. His cultivation speed is astonishing. Are the Xiantian Dao questions really that terrifying?"

It felt that Zhou Ping had a secret.

However, it is not interested in this. Every powerful and outstanding person has his own secrets.

……

Demon Lake.

The largest demonic force in the Chixia Mountains.

Meanwhile, the Devil Lake Lord stood respectfully before a veiled woman in black armor. "Messenger, I have followed your instructions and searched every cultivation site around the Scarlet Fire Wasteland, even checking Red Bright Mountain, but I haven't found the person you described!"

The black-armored woman frowned slightly. Relying on the means of the Yuanshen realm, she vaguely saw a figure from the scorching breath, but she also knew that relying on such a vague figure to search was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

And the other party may not be from the Chixia Mountains.

For example, she is not a cultivator from the Chixia Mountains, nor is she a cultivator from this planet. If it weren't for the extremely icy blue flame, she would not have come here with her noble status.

"Keep looking."

The black-armored woman spoke in a cold voice, "I will stay here for three years. Within three years, no matter what method you use, there must be a result."

He hesitated.

She added, "The other party possesses the ability to use flames. Their flames should be very powerful. You should be careful about this."

The eyes of the Lord of the Demon Lake lit up. With such a mark, it would be much easier to find.

"Yes, messenger."

After he left.

The woman in black armor sighed softly. She didn't know why she had to find the other person. Even if she found him, what would it matter? Since the other person could open her black armor and block the methods of the Yuanshen realm, he must be no ordinary person.

And if she really wanted to take it out on him, she wouldn't be able to get over it. After all, he had saved her life.

Although she is a witch, she has her own bottom line.

"Just consider it as an explanation for my thousands of years of virgin essence!"

She comforted herself.

……

Fast forward three months later.

Black Crow Lake.

Spiritual vein cave.

Wow.

As a heavy and powerful aura of magical power spread and shook.

Zhou Ping slowly opened his eyes, revealing an irrepressible joy in his eyes. He didn't expect that this time of retreat he would actually break through to the middle stage of the Golden Core.

Xiao Ding said, "You have fused with the Extreme Ice Blue Flame. It's only a matter of time before you successfully break through. The Extreme Ice Blue Flame's enhancement of your body will last until the late Jindan stage, or even the Nascent Soul stage. Its flame energy will remain in your body. You can be secretly happy."

"But you are indeed a freak. Your mana is now close to 50 million. Normally, this amount of mana is only found in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. In terms of mana depth, you are no less than the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. The only thing lacking is the concentration and purity of your mana."

Zhou Ping smiled and said, "All this is thanks to Senior Ding's help."

Xiao Ding curled his lips. "It's good that you know this, but I'm reminding you that as your mana continues to surge, your state of mind must keep up. Otherwise, it will be easy to lose control, especially when you reach the Nascent Soul stage, where inner demons will form."

Generally speaking, the Golden Elixir stage is when a cultivator hones his knowledge and experience.

It is beneficial to polish more at this stage.

If you keep on retreating, you will suffer many hardships when you reach the Nascent Soul stage.

Therefore, most Jindan cultivators will travel.

Zhou Ping nodded, "Senior Ding, I'm planning to go to Xiayin Jedi and take a look around. Maybe I'll come across something good there!"

Xiao Ding rolled his eyes. "You think all the natural treasures are easy to come by? You're already incredibly lucky to encounter the Ice Blue Flame in the Scarlet Fire Jedi. But since the Xiayin Jedi is right next to the Scarlet Fire Jedi, maybe there's something special about it. You can go take a look around and just relax and explore."

In fact, the reason for making the decision.

This is because there is a large spirit stone mine near Xiayin Jedi, which is the sphere of influence of Jiaolong Valley. He just wanted to go there to see if he could get some spirit stones to solve the urgent problem.

……

Earth.

Deep in the Afang Palace of Mount Li.

Lian Yue, the Master of Jing'an Si, who was wearing a purple palace dress, slowly opened her purple eyes. A shadow slowly condensed in front of her eyes. The moment she saw this shadow, her pupils trembled and she hurriedly stood up and saluted respectfully, "Lian Yue greets the Master of the Pulse."

The virtual image resembled a scholar wearing a tall crown, who spoke elegantly, "Yue'er, the formation seal of this ancient cultivation civilization planet is about to be opened. You have been lurking and infiltrating here for a hundred years, so you should be very familiar with some of the things inside."

"This ancient civilization's cultivation planet holds great secrets, but also great terrors. The Sect Master and the Great Elder have explored it before and encountered extreme isolation. Clearly, there are still powerful individuals on this planet."

Lian Yue hurriedly told the story of how the leader of the Guigu Sect was killed.

The shadow slowly said, "As expected, when the formation seal is opened, no one in the three major sects, including ours, above the Yuan Shen realm, will enter, to avoid causing a backlash on this planet. Even if the ancient cultivation civilization is declining, it still has a trump card. So how much you can obtain depends on you. When the time comes, our sect will fully support you."

Lian Yue said, "Thank you, Master."

Then she asked how long it would take for the formation seal to be opened.

The shadow replied, "It will take at most one year. By then, all the experts of our Xinghe Sect will be able to move in, and this planet will become our Xinghe Sect's territory."

"Yes, Master!"

Soon the shadow disappeared.

Lian Yue's purple eyes didn't hold excitement or joy. "I didn't expect the sect to open so soon. It seems the higher-ups are getting impatient. Unfortunately, I still haven't fully explored the remains of the Afang Palace on Mount Li!"

"Forget it. Wait until the leader of the meridian sends a strong man over. Maybe we can go deeper."

at the same time.

The mother-in-law from Shennong Palace was also talking to the leader of the Shennong lineage.

"The Taiyan Sect's long-distance fleet is nothing to worry about. Our Xinghe Sect doesn't even care about the things inside. You must hurry and explore the ruins. Try to gain more advantages before breaking the seal!"

"There are still a hundred years until the election of the Sect Leader. My three major clans are competing with each other. Whoever can obtain more on this planet this time will be chosen as the Sect Leader!"

The leader of the Shennong lineage is awe-inspiring without even being angry, and even his shadow can affect the surrounding space.

Such an extremely powerful energy fluctuation naturally could not be hidden from the spaceship's formation spirit. It overlooked the entire planet and said helplessly, "After all, this planet does not belong to the Taiyan Sect. Fortunately, our sect is immortal and has found a suitable successor."

"When they return, we must prepare to evacuate."

In fact, the formation seal can hold out for so long only because of the special energy and relic energy of the earth itself. Otherwise, the formation arranged by the formation spirit would never be able to withstand a behemoth like the Xinghe Sect.
