Pursued by the Heavenly Dao, first level up in the courtyard.

With his understanding of the Three Thousand Laws, Qi Bing progressed from the initial stage of the Lesser Thousand Worlds level to the minor mastery stage, significantly enhancing his strength.

In the chaotic universe, the Primordial World, the Lesser Thousand World, the Middle Thousand World, and the Greater Thousand World were all transformed by the Great God Pangu. The Three Thousand Laws of the Lesser Thousand World share the same origin as the Three Thousand Laws of the Middle Thousand World, the Greater Thousand World, and the Primordial World.

Even though the Three Thousand Laws of the Lesser Thousand World where the courtyard is located are not as powerful as the Three Thousand Laws of the Middle Thousand World, the Greater Thousand World, or the Primordial World, they are essentially the same, the difference being their strength.

Cultivation is like building a house; if the foundation is solid enough, you can keep adding to it.

Having achieved minor mastery of the three thousand laws of the Lesser Thousand Worlds, one can continue to comprehend the laws in other worlds in the future.

"When I reached the fourth level of the Xuanhuang Body Refining Technique, I took a shortcut and intercepted the scattered immortal energy of the Chaos Tree Sapling. Before my comprehension of the laws of the Lesser Thousand Worlds reached the perfect level, the Xuanhuang Body Refining Technique could not make any further progress."

In the chaotic universe, there is a world of difference between immortals and mortals, and between immortals and gods.

The various gods in the primordial world were either gods of incense offerings, gods of faith, or gods of investiture.

The incense god is a deity who is made by the power of incense offerings and wishes from all living beings.

To have faith in God is to become a god through the power of faith of all living beings.

The investiture of gods refers to the various gods listed on the Investiture of the Gods list.

The gods in the vast world are divided into gods, heavenly gods (heavenly gods), king gods (god kings), emperor gods (god emperors), and venerable gods (god venerables), which are vastly different from the three types of gods in the primordial world.

The level of divine energy far surpasses that of immortal energy.

With Qi Bing's current strength, he is not yet able to absorb and refine the divine energy.

Once the Xuanhuang Body Refining Technique reaches the fifth level, one's physical strength can rival that of a divine artifact.

Without the ability to absorb and refine divine energy, his chances of breaking through to the fifth level of the Xuanhuang Body Refining Technique are very slim.

"There are only two ways to improve one's physical cultivation: one is to have a sufficiently strong spiritual cultivation, and the other is to break through in one's understanding of the laws."

Sitting cross-legged beside the Chaos Tree Sapling, Qi Bing intercepted and refined the immortal energy formed from the diluted Chaos Power.

The Heavenly Mirror Divine Skill contains 360 different techniques, and the Northern Darkness Divine Skill is just one of them.

His self-created Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Skill was a fusion of the Heavenly Mirror Divine Skill, which included the Northern Darkness Divine Skill.

In the world of martial arts, the Northern Darkness Divine Skill is considered a top-tier martial art.

The Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Skill, which incorporates the Northern Darkness Divine Art, has been repeatedly refined and upgraded by Qi Bing, increasing its devouring ability many times over.

The ancient martial arts version of the Northern Darkness Divine Skill can not only be practiced by oneself, but also absorbed and refined the internal energy and true qi of others through thirty-six acupoints.

His self-created Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Skill allows him to absorb not only internal energy, true qi, true essence, and magical power, but also various energies from heaven and earth, from every part of his body.

Among the three thousand realms of intent, there is the realm of devouring; among the three thousand laws, there is the law of devouring.

The Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Technique initially incorporated the concept of devouring, and later incorporated the law of devouring.

Qi Bing incorporated all the artistic conceptions and laws that were beneficial to the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Technique into it. Otherwise, his self-created Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Technique would definitely still be at the mortal level and would not have risen to the immortal level it is today.

Qi Bing focused intently on his cultivation for over an hour, significantly increasing the immortal-level magical power in his lower dantian. He stood up, stretched his body, and tested the power of his immortal-grade spear once more.

A little after midnight, after eating a quick meal, Qi Bing left the Xuanhuang World.

"My physical strength is comparable to that of a top-grade immortal artifact, my Three Thousand Laws have reached the Lesser Thousand World level of minor completion, and my Spirit Refining cultivation is comparable to that of a first-order Celestial Immortal."

In the chaotic universe, the celestial immortals of endless chaos are roughly equivalent to the terrestrial immortals of the primordial world.

The endless chaotic world is divided into three major realms: the Lesser Thousand Worlds, the Middle Thousand Worlds, and the Greater Thousand Worlds. Immortals are divided into three major realms and twenty-seven minor realms, namely, the first to ninth ranks of Celestial Immortal, the first to ninth ranks of Golden Immortal, and the first to ninth ranks of Profound Immortal.

Under normal circumstances, there are almost no immortals in the endless, chaotic microcosms.

Cultivators in the Lesser Thousand Worlds who reach the Great Ascension Stage of Perfection will be forced to ascend to the Middle Thousand Worlds.

There are always exceptions, and the Qi army itself was one of them.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month.

Chongqing, No. 9 Community, Liu Family.

The employees of Yucheng Industrial Group live in villa areas and residential communities throughout Yucheng.

At Yucheng Industrial Group, all employees who are outstanding, academicians, national-level experts, or at level eight or above live in their respective villa areas. Employees below level eight live in their respective residential communities.

He Yuzhu, Liu Haizhong, Xu Damao, and others who were transferred from Beicheng to Yucheng all lived in Community No. 9.

There are more than a hundred similar residential communities under the Yucheng Industrial Group.

Although a residential community may sound small, it actually covers a large area and has a large building area. Some communities house hundreds of thousands of people.

Liu Guangqi, along with his wife Du Lanyue and children Liu Xiaoli and Liu Xiaoya, came to Chongqing from Wanzhou.

Both houses have five bedrooms, two living rooms, one kitchen, and three bathrooms, but because Liu Haizhong is a level 13 factory director, his house is larger than Xu Damao's and He Yuzhu's.

Hearing the knock, Chen Rong opened the door and said with a smile, "Guangqi, you're here! Come in quickly."

When Liu Guangqi's family entered the house, they were shocked and envious upon seeing it.

Housing renovations have been completed throughout the Great Xia Dynasty. Except for the ancient city, where housing conditions are slightly worse, housing standards are the same everywhere else.

Liu Guangqi and his wife, who work at the Dongsheng Steel Rolling Mill in Wanzhou, were also allocated a five-bedroom, two-living room, one-kitchen, and three-bathroom apartment.

Liu Guangqi, a student in the 24th grade, was assigned housing that met the lowest standards in the city.

Compared to people overseas, the housing conditions of the people of Great Xia are many times better, and they don't have to pay for it themselves.

Throughout the Great Xia Dynasty, Liu Guangqi was allocated housing of the lowest standard in the urban area, with living conditions only slightly better than those in ancient buildings.

Rural residents live in detached villas, which are no worse than those in urban areas with administrative level eight.

Living in the city makes many things more convenient, and even the worst housing standards in the city are already quite good.

If your social standing isn't high enough but you still want to live in a detached villa in the countryside, no problem. Just apply to transfer to an agricultural group, and they'll allocate you a house.

To date, no one has been willing to move from the city to the countryside for a detached villa.

Liu Haizhong asked with a smile, "Guangqi, how many days are you on leave?"

Liu Guangqi said, "Dad, let's leave it for half a month."

Liu Haizhong sighed, "We also get a two-week holiday, whereas we used to only get three days off for Chinese New Year."

Liu Guangqi asked expectantly, "Dad, could you transfer me to Chongqing?"

Liu Haizhong frowned: "Guangqi, I also want to transfer you here, but there's nothing I can do about it."

Liu Guangqi asked knowingly, "Dad, Guangtian and Guangfu have both been transferred to Chongqing, why can't I be transferred here?"

Liu Haizhong said helplessly, "We were able to be transferred to Chongqing because of Ye Qiu and his team. I asked them, and they said you can't be transferred here."

Liu Guangtian said, "Brother, Wanzhou is doing well; it's developing rapidly now."

Liu Guangqi said irritably, "No matter how good Wanzhou is, it can't compare to Yucheng. Yucheng is the capital of the Great Xia."

To maintain secrecy, Qi Bing moved many projects related to Chisha to places like Wanzhou, Hazhou, Liaozhou, and Jizhou.

The speed of industrial and agricultural development in Wanzhou ranks tenth in the Great Xia Dynasty.

Once upon a time, the Great Xia Dynasty consisted of only thirty-six states.

After Qi Bing's idea was realized, the Great Xia Dynasty already had seventy-two states.

Of the seventy-two prefectures of the Great Xia Dynasty, Wan Prefecture ranked tenth in industry and agriculture, which is already quite impressive.

In terms of industry, Chongqing and the surrounding prefectures are the strongest.

In terms of agriculture, the climate in the south has a significant advantage.

The fact that Wanzhou's industry and agriculture both ranked tenth in the Great Xia Dynasty is enough to prove many things.

Liu Guangqi wanted to come to Chongqing for two main reasons: first, the working and living environment in Chongqing was better; second, he had no hope of being promoted at Dongsheng Steel Rolling Mill.
