Fairy, please step aside, I've taken a liking to your man.

After slaughtering two half-dead gods, the immortal seed within Shen Bai continued to grow stronger, and his gaze turned to the evil god behind Wu.

These wild gods and evil spirits seem to be collectively possessed; they are either asleep, severely injured, dead, or seeking resurrection.

Regarding these supplies, Shen Bai could only say that he would not let a single one go.

The massive spiritual tide over the past three years has made Shen Bai's cultivation unfathomable. After devouring two divine sparks in succession, his cultivation has reached a new limit.

However, he has been consolidating his foundation and dares not rush to move forward rashly.

He had a premonition that once he obtained the divine status of Wu, he could try to break through.

In fact, the divine status of the ancient demon god and the demon god was thanks to the traitor within the collaborator's party; otherwise, they wouldn't have been so easily taken down by Shen Bai.

The fact that the Transcending Tribulation Supremes had searched for so many years without finding these gray rats is enough to show that they all have their own unique characteristics.

After absorbing the divine spark and allowing his cultivation to settle completely, Shen Bai quietly returned to the princess's residence.

"Am I turning bad?"

When the sixth princess saw Shen Bai return, she came forward and nestled in his arms.

"You're still that noble and innocent princess, and you'll always be my little foodie. I'm the only bad guy!"

The couple had been married for many years, knew each other very well, and were each other's most trusted people.

Shen Bai would not hide the cause of death of the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince from her.

Moreover, Shen Bai didn't believe he could keep it from this exceptionally intelligent empress.

"I truly didn't want things to come to this, but they've never shown me a shred of family affection!"

The sixth princess sighed and then said, "Father has taken away your power, and he may take this opportunity to strengthen his control over our Qiyuan Star. You should be patient during this time."

As emperor, my father was capable of making any decision, and he had many things to weigh.

Of course, what he valued most was the possibility of achieving immortality.

Shen Bai gently stroked the Sixth Princess's long hair and smiled slightly, "My goal is also immortality, so I won't covet power. Right now, I just want to assist you and manage our territory well."

"Support me?"

The Sixth Princess looked at her with a strange expression: "All these years, have you managed family affairs? Business matters? The affairs of any cities?"

The Sixth Princess's questioning made Shen Bai feel utterly ashamed.

It seems, as if, that I haven't done anything.

However, I really am working hard!

Aren't these children all the result of their own hard work?

"Um, I'll go talk to Huang Ying about the new city."

Shen Bai put on an act of being really busy, which made the Sixth Princess pout: "All you ever do is busy with women's bellies."

"No, I really went to discuss serious business!"

Shen Bai fled the princess's mansion in a sorry state, and was then teleported to a large construction site on a sixth-order spiritual vein, hundreds of thousands of miles north of Qiyuan City.

Here, a brand new city is rising from the ground.

Countless formations had already been drawn up long ago.

Currently, the city lord's mansion, major enterprises, and various forces are all busily constructing infrastructure, company buildings, and employee dormitories...

This place was once a spiritual vein occupied by the Mao Jing Kingdom. Later, during the three-year great spiritual tide, the city was destroyed by a beast tide. The residents either fled back to Mao Jing City or went to Qi Yuan City, and this place was completely abandoned.

Based on the consideration of expanding the influence of Qiyuan City, Shen Bai occupied this spiritual vein and named it Lingtian City.

At this point, Qiyuan City is bordered by Lingtian City to the north, Qingyun City and Shenfu City to the south, Kunyuan City to the east, and Luota City and Sibu City to the west. If it were to also capture Qianyuan City, which is not far to the east of Kunyuan City, then Qiyuan City's territory would be no less than that of Luota Kingdom, the second strongest country in the world.

Within the territory, enterprises from various countries took root and flourished, mining, building cities, and excavating caves everywhere, visibly filling all the space between these cities.

After the Grandmasters and Nascent Soul cultivators flooded into Qiyuan Star, they also explored the surrounding area in the shortest possible time, clearing out or expelling all the orcs within their territory, in order to reduce the number of orcs in the next spiritual tide or to shift the defensive pressure to the outer cities.

This is also one of the reasons why Shen Bai opened Lingtian City.

When Shen Bai arrived in Lingtian City, Huang Ying was supervising the construction progress in various places. When she saw Shen Bai arrive, she flew over with great joy.

"Master, you've arrived!"

"I'm no longer the leader!"

"No, you will always be my leader!"

With a touch of shyness, Huang Ying led Shen Bai on a tour of the area.

The city lord's mansion has been completed, and the mansions of various functional departments and branches of large enterprises in the surrounding area are also under construction one after another.

The cave dwellings in the residential area are also being completed one after another.

On Qiyuan Star, all the cave dwellings in various countries and cities are charged a fee. Those with more money can stay in better ones, those with less money can stay in worse ones, and those with no money can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Law, land, wealth, and companions.

The Four Secrets of Cultivating Immortality.

Nowadays, cultivation methods are easy to obtain on Blue Star and Qiyuan Star, but cultivation caves, especially good ones, are not easy to find.

Even though Qiyuan Star is full of unclaimed caves, their safety is definitely not as good as that of the city.

This place is full of orcs and cultivators, and without absolute certainty, most people would consider renting or buying a cultivation cave within the city.

In particular, each city has a super-large-scale spirit-gathering array that absorbs all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within tens of thousands of miles, nourishing the spiritual veins and replenishing the daily cultivation needs.

The spiritual energy in the caves in the wild is definitely affected by the super-large-scale spirit-gathering array in the city. For various reasons, everyone is more willing to go into the city to cultivate.

"You did a great job. Go to the city lord's mansion; I want to reward you!"

Shen Bai nodded in satisfaction and patted Huang Ying on the shoulder with a sense of relief.

Huang Ying's body went limp, and she said in a panic, "Master, I didn't do well, the progress is still too slow, please punish me!"

"Oh? You're supporting your brother again?"

As Shen Bai joked, he entered the city lord's mansion. Huang Ying quickly activated the mansion's magic array and then nervously recounted Fu Di's crimes.

Shen Bai wasn't very angry this time. On the contrary, after giving her some encouragement, he took out the Fusion Spirit and many Nascent Soul Spirits for her: "Focus on developing Lingtian City. I hope you can surpass Kunyuan City and Qingyun City."

"Please...rest assured, Master!"

The oriole raised its beautiful chin, its mouth holding a fortune, its eyes filled with fierce fighting spirit.

Qi Rui and Tang Xinyue, let's have a competition!

……

After leaving Tianling City, Shen Bai immediately began inspecting Kunyuan City and Qingyun City.

The first wife said she hadn't worried about it at all; she had really misunderstood her.

Don't you worry enough about things yourself?

With so many city lords, which one of them doesn't need to be properly appeased?

It's only because I have high cultivation and good kidneys that I'm not exhausted.

Meanwhile, the Night Fiend Hall and the Inner Guard began investigating the cause of the Ninth Prince's death all over Qiyuan Star. They turned Ganyuan City upside down and caused chaos in Qiyuan City, but they still couldn't find a single clue about the murderer.

The vanished Liu Neng Zhenjun keeps reappearing in various cities, making the truth even more elusive.

Wei Xian, who had originally been investigating Shen Bai as the main suspect, was also dumbfounded.

Because when Shen Bai appeared on Qiyuan Star, Liu Neng appeared on Blue Star.

When Liu Neng appeared on Qiyuan Star, Shen Bai appeared on Blue Star.

These two seem to have absolutely no connection.

"Investigate! Thoroughly inspect all teleportation arrays. Find that damned Liu Neng as quickly as possible!"

Wei Xian sat upright in the city lord's mansion of Qianyuan City, his heart filled with malice.

He knew that this was the perfect opportunity to gain the emperor's trust, so he couldn't afford to miss it.

Compared to the relentless competition among the interior defenders, Wan Lin's side seemed less focused.

He was making tea at that moment, and a beautiful woman was sitting opposite him.

"Uncle Wan, this is a small gift my brother asked me to bring you. I hope you won't mind."

The beautiful woman resembled a teenage girl whose appearance had remained unchanged since her most beautiful high school years, but she had a fantastic figure, especially with her two pigtails.

"Wenwen, you've worked hard. Please thank your brother for me."

Wan Lin pushed the brewed spirit tea in front of Shen Wenwen and said with a smile, "Don't you really want to consider these talented young men in the capital? You know, the thousand-year-old families that come to propose marriage are practically wearing down the threshold of the Princess's residence."

Shen Wenwen blushed and said shyly, "Oh, Uncle Wan, I'm still young, and I'm only thinking about cultivating!"

"Is that so?"

Wan Lin sighed, "Back then, you and your siblings depended on each other for survival. You couldn't even afford a meal of spirit beast meat, which caused you to waste so many years of your divine talent. If you had the cultivation conditions that your nephews and nieces have now, your cultivation level would probably be even higher now."

"I'm far less talented than them, but I'm doing pretty well now."

Shen Wenwen smiled shyly and modestly, then said, "My brother asked me to ask Uncle Wan how the exploration of that new planet is going?"

"There's something strange going on over there. Everyone who goes there has gone crazy. I suggest your brother not delay any longer and formally submit this matter to gain greater benefits," Wan Lin instructed.

"My brother originally intended to submit it, but he thought it would be better to inform Uncle Wan first. He would also appreciate it if Uncle Wan could put in a good word for him. Moreover, it will be submitted in Ye Qianqian's name, so my brother won't stand out."

Shen Wenwen is now 32 years old. She is very mature and generous in her dealings with others, has high emotional intelligence, and speaks with great tact.

Wan Lin nodded with a smile. These two siblings were becoming more and more capable. In time, even ancient and powerful families would have to treat them with respect.

Shen Wenwen chatted with Wan Lin for a while longer before getting up to say goodbye.

Before leaving, Wan Lin suddenly said something.

"Liu Neng should disappear; he's been appearing far too frequently lately."

Shen Wenwen's smile remained unchanged, and she didn't even blink: "Haven't you caught Liu Neng yet? Chief Steward Wei Xian has practically turned Qiyuan Star upside down."

Wan Lin nodded in satisfaction: "It's alright, he won't be able to keep this up for long."

Shen Wenwen left with a smile.

His steps were steady and powerful.
