Cultivation of Immortality: This is what unorthodox methods are like.

Ma Qingqiu muttered a few words before Su Mali dragged him away.

The group of nuns discussed palace matters with great enthusiasm.

Ruo Jinghong, Meng Hu Daoren, and other cultivators gathered around and discussed the issue of their base: "Everyone, although we haven't actually made contact with the far west yet, the environment there is truly harsh."

"Everyone, we still need to stick together and support each other from now on!"

"I think everyone should try to choose an area as their base and then gradually expand to both sides."

One of the monks made a suggestion, and the others nodded in agreement.

Many cultivators suggested that Ruo Jinghong choose first, however, Ruo Jinghong looked at Wang Quan.

At this moment, Wang Quan took a deep breath: "Everyone, I need you to take to the air and observe the surroundings, including the situation outside the city."

"The earth's veins, feng shui, and weather patterns must all be recorded in detail!"

The Fierce Tiger Taoist was bewildered: "Why is that?"

Wang Quan said solemnly, "Gentlemen, if we don't die, then we will surely take root in this Stone City, and in the far west!"

"The first location we choose may not be the best, but it absolutely has to be able to support our early development."

"Let's get through the toughest part of the beginning."

"As a result, many factors such as the earth's veins, feng shui, and even the weather will affect everyone."

The group suddenly realized what was happening, then took to the air and divided the tasks to check on Wang Quanshuo's situation.

Soon, a series of messages came in.

Royal power is recorded, deduced, and reviewed.

More than half an hour later, after gathering all the information, he finally selected a location.

This location is on the north city wall.

Above, the ocean churns, and outside the city, the land is a vast expanse of yellow sand; within the sand flow hurricanes and flames.

Once the location was confirmed, Ruo Jinghong spoke up: "Fellow Daoist Wang Quan, you choose first!"

The Fierce Tiger Taoist and his companions were quite surprised.

In their small group, Wang Quan stood out the most because of the Five Elements Fruit Tree.

However, many cultivators still have high hopes for Ruo Jinghong.

This female cultivator had told them privately more than once that she had Level 2 authority; she even had Level 1 authority in the second level of the inner realm.

During this period, she performed admirably.

Therefore, everyone has high hopes for her.

Unexpectedly, at the last moment, Ruo Jinghong let Wang Quan choose first.

After some deduction, Wang Quan patted the Su Yue paper-cutting box.

The next breath, a banner shot through the air and fiercely planted itself on the ground.

Pfft!

Banners fluttered and rustled: "My location is in this area, and your locations should be at these points!"

Many cultivators were stunned when they saw the location of the banner.

Because that location is in the third ring area that the puppet mentioned.

Glug!

The Fierce Tiger Taoist swallowed hard: "You choose the Third Ring Road?"

Wang Quan nodded: "That's right!"

"If you work hard in the future, you can also choose to work within the Third Ring Road!"

The cultivators were all in a daze.

However, before they could react, they saw Wang Quan's fingers flying across the keyboard as he tapped the box.

call out!call out!call out!

A banner soared through the air and then pierced straight into the earth.

boom! boom! boom!

The earth groaned and cracked.

Many banners fell, transforming into various ritual milestones.

When these many nodes are connected, they form a huge altar.

And on this altar, there is another altar:

That is the architecture of royalty.

Among his altar structures, there is one most important altar—the Five-Colored Altar.

The king, with the help of everyone and the altar, will worship all directions, the sun, the moon and the stars, and recreate the magnificent scene of the drowned lower house.

As for whether he will succeed in the end, he doesn't really know, nor does he want to know.

He just wants to give it a try:

If successful, then the future is promising.

If we fail... it will only waste a little time.

At this moment, a Daoist cultivator, with extensive knowledge and experience, recognized many key points.

The Daoist cultivator, whose knowledge of rituals and arrays was not deep, did not recognize it.

They whispered among themselves, and even began to argue about the timing of the ritual.

Wang Quan's heart skipped a beat, and he exclaimed loudly, "Everyone, these nodes are actually the nodes of a massive ritual altar!"

"According to my vision—if the land is stable in the future, and if our future manor and estate can operate smoothly."

"Then, in the future, we can use this huge altar to expand our territory, clear away abnormal weather, and even stabilize the four seasons and the twenty-four solar terms."

"As for establishing a foothold in the Underworld, and creating a safe zone in the second layer of the world, it's not without hope!"

"At that time, while we can't say that the privilege points will be easily obtained, we will definitely be able to get them with ease."

"We will become the elite in the far west!"

"We will establish a foothold in the far west."

"In the next twenty years, or even hundreds or thousands of years, the new generation in the far west, standing on the ritual altars we have built, will absolutely feel our power!"

"Everything we do today will benefit the future."

"In the future, many cultivators, spirits, and other beings will survive because of us."

"The history of Stone City, the history of the far west, will remember us!"

"We are not cannon fodder in the far west; we are the strongest pioneers in the far west!"

His words stirred the blood of many cultivators.

One female cultivator even rolled up her sleeves, patted her chest, and said, "Fellow Daoist, just tell me what to do, and I'll do it!"

Wang Quan took a deep breath: "Then, let's first determine our respective territories, and then sort out the land veins according to the nodes and prepare building materials."

-----------------

Ding ding ding!

The vast stone city has been turned into a construction site.

Foundation Establishment cultivators refine earth veins, constantly amplifying the land; spirits plant rice and use manure to cultivate new fertile fields.

The female cultivator Mei'er, along with Ma Qingqiu, Su Mali, and hundreds of other cultivators, built a huge palace for studying Taoist scriptures.

Wang Quan, Ruo Jinghong, and other cultivators refined materials and used construction techniques to build manors and residences.

In the past, if one wanted to build a manor or residence using construction techniques, the costs would be enormous, time-consuming, and laborious, and ordinary cultivators simply couldn't afford it.

But now, all those making moves are Foundation Establishment cultivators with the [Dao Seal] skill.

Any single magical power is several times, or even ten or dozens of times, stronger than before.

Therefore, the construction of these structures was of no significance to the king and his ilk.

Ding ding ding!

Both sides are busy!

Although one is in the north of the city and the other in the south, they are both secretly keeping an eye on each other.

Ma Qingqiu and the other cultivators, confident in their superior numbers, declared: "Sooner or later they'll realize that joining us is the only way!"

"Their current efforts are a complete waste of time, materials, and space."

"If they merge with us, our palace for studying Taoist scriptures will be even more luxurious."

Many cultivators initially dismissed the choices made by Wang Quan and others.

However, as the pillars rose one by one and the basic framework gradually appeared, Ma Qingqiu and the others fell silent.

Because they discovered that Wang Quan and others had expanded their building area to the Third Ring Road.

The female cultivator, Mei'er, bit her lip and muttered, "Who has obtained Level 3 access?"

"Royal power? Impossible; although he planted the Five Elements Fruit Trees and stabilized the land and its veins, he doesn't grant authority points for building and maintaining things in the city!"

"No one has left Stone City these past few days. Who can be promoted?"

"Perhaps they've discovered a loophole in the rules?"

"Should we report them? Or should we learn from their loopholes and quietly make a fortune?"

Ma Qingqiu took a deep breath, then exhaled a long, stale air: "It's him!"

"In this vast Stone City, only the King has the greatest chance of gaining Level 3 authority."

The female nun, Mei'er, rolled her eyes: "Why do you say that?"

Ma Qingqiu sighed, "Because when I first met him, I felt he was quite capable!"

Mei'er: "Hmm?"

—Something came up, so the chapters that were posted at midnight will be moved to around 8 AM or in the afternoon these next few days—I hope you guys understand.
