Cultivation Starts from Killing Pigs

Buzz!

The red glow spread from the array, and within the once desolate and cold grand array, the temperature rapidly increased, becoming suitable for mortal life...

Meanwhile, on the Celestial Essence Star’s Divine Land, countless civilians and cultivators were left speechless, staring up at the sky without even blinking.

Setting up the Moon Palace Array was no small feat, and the sky continuously echoed with grand sounds. The Bright Moon hanging high in the night sky emitted various colors of light, sometimes golden, sometimes red, the scene was truly astonishing.

A star official sighed. Just a few years ago, he was gazing at the Bright Moon with melancholy, grieving over the dark future of humanity. But now, Immortals descended upon the moon to build them a home; indeed, the fate of all things is wondrous...

Yet those left speechless were not just the citizens of the Divine Dynasty but also a messenger sent by Wu Tianya.

This was a Fish Demon, clad in copper armor, with a wide mouth and tusks. The fin on top of his head had fully transformed into Law Yin Fire. He rode a small boat, crossing the starry sky.

He originally came by Wu Tianya’s order to deliver a message, but accidentally witnessed the scene before him, instantly trembling with fear, his eyes blazing with soaring flames.

Upon entering the Celestial Essence Star Zone, he was spotted by Tai Shi, who was constantly observing the Stargazing Disc, and was surrounded by over a dozen starships.

Even after explaining his purpose, over a dozen Divine Fire Crystal Cannons remained aimed at his small boat, especially since this was a critical moment for the Moon Palace Array.

In the eyes of the Fish Demon, these starships appeared very crude, and none of them had an Immortal Level presence overseeing them. Yet, he remained motionless and respectfully bowed, appearing somewhat humble...

One two-hour period later...

Buzz!

Massive space ripples began from the Moon Palace, spreading to every corner of the starry sky before quickly dissipating. At this point, the Moon Sea was completely enveloped by a grand golden dome array.

Inside, spiritual energy was abundant, and the temperature was suitable. Apart from a lack of greenery, it was not much different from the Divine Land.

"It’s done!"

Yuan Huang and the others first showed signs of joy before their expressions turned solemn, all looking toward the direction of the Fish Demon’s starship, a fierce glint in their eyes.

"No worries..."

Zhang Kui slightly shook his head, "I will handle it myself, but I’ll have to trouble you, fellow Daoists, with this matter."

"Rest assured, Sect Leader."

Everyone cupped their hands and then descended to the Moon Sea. One by one, they expanded their domains, and the ground rumbled, with large stretches of lunar soil condensing and hardening, giving rise to towering stone pavilions.

Building houses on the Moon Palace required stones. If the Divine Dynasty had built them, they would probably have to be transported batch by batch. But for them, with the power of their domains, construction was extremely easy.

Elsewhere, Zhang Kui transformed into a streak of light, swiftly flying across the starry sky. Soon, his figure flickered and landed on the Fish Demon’s ship, his voice cold to the extreme:

"I’ve said before, upon our next meeting, I will show no mercy."

"Forgive me, Immortal Venerable."

The Fish Demon deeply bowed and said respectfully, "This time is a special occasion. A multitude of star thieves have gathered outside the Celestial Essence Star Zone, and the City Lord has specifically ordered me to inform the Immortal Venerable..."

It turns out more than one came to take advantage of the situation!

Zhang Kui sneered coldly in his heart, but his gaze was somewhat peculiar, staring at the Fish Demon before him and saying, "I have a grudge against you, so your goodwill, if not deceitful, is thievery. It seems you want to use me..."

"You are wise, Immortal Venerable!"

The Fish Demon became anxious, "Since seeing your majestic presence, my City Lord is awestruck and harbors no ill intent..."

Is this guy crazy?

Zhang Kui found it strange, yet remained expressionless after hearing the Fish Demon’s explanation. "Very well, I understand, you may leave."

The Fish Demon dared not say more, bowed respectfully, and then piloted his starship away.

Watching as the other left, Zhang Kui’s eyes were filled with contemplation.

Not mentioning the Fish Demon’s strange attitude, the news he brought was astonishing: star thieves intending to take advantage had gathered outside the Celestial Essence Star Zone—all notorious figures in the nearby Star Sea, each difficult to handle.

With the intelligence from Wu Tianya, Zhang Kui faintly realized that what he held in his hands was likely extraordinarily significant.

Not to mention the Immortal Path, even a functioning Immortal Sect was quite rare.

Originally, once the Moon Palace Array was completed, he would establish an Immortal Sect on the Divine Land, connecting it with the Moon Palace Immortal Sect, greatly reducing transport time.

But now, for the sake of secrecy, resources could only be transported in batches by starships, wasting considerable time.

Thinking of this, a hint of anger flashed in Zhang Kui’s eyes.

"Fellow Daoists, proceed as planned, I’ll handle the situation outside."

Saying that, his figure instantly vanished, utilizing the power of the stars to swiftly propel himself outside the Celestial Essence Star Zone.

Yuan Huang and the others looked grim but dared not slack off, continuing to erect towering buildings.

The population of the Divine Land had already exceeded 200 million. For at least a year, they would need to reside in the Moon Palace, which was no small project.

...

The spindle-shaped starship stealthily navigated through the Meteorite Sea.

The Fish Demon’s heart was pounding, suppressing his excitement as he piloted the starship without sound back to the Desolate Beast Demon Bone Starship.

"Is the matter settled?"

Wu Tianya lifted his eyelids slightly and asked.

"City Lord, something has changed..."

The Fish Demon eagerly recounted what he saw and heard.

"What?!"

Wu Tianya’s eyes widened as he stood up with a roar, causing the surrounding space to tremble with a hum, his heart churning.

The others were equally shocked, eagerly inquiring:

"Is what you said true?"

"Brother Yu, this matter is of utmost importance."

"A Refining Realm Master... if it’s true, then..."

The Fish Demon instantaneously erupted in fury, "I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be false!"

Saying this, he bowed to Wu Tianya with a trembling voice, "City Lord, this is the best opportunity; it must not be missed."

The Dragon Demon Wu Tianya took a deep breath, looking once more at the countless ice coffins within the ship, a ghostly light flickering in his eyes. "Rest assured, I’m no fool."

Saying this, his eyes shifted slightly, and he suddenly cupped his hands toward the grand hall:

"Since Daoist Friend is here, why not show yourself? Wu here personally apologizes to you..."

Everyone was startled, quickly turning their heads to look around.

Zhang Kui, wielding the Void Domain, together with the Invisibility Skill, was extremely difficult to detect. The crowd, recalling the last incident, couldn’t help but secretly praise the City Lord’s wisdom.

However, there was no response within the grand hall.

Wu Tianya remained with his hands cupped, unmoving.

After a long while...

Everyone exchanged glances, suddenly speculating: Could the City Lord simply be guessing with no real detection?

The Dragon Demon Wu Tianya’s eye twitched slightly, then suddenly burst into laughter, "If Daoist Friend is unwilling to show, it must be out of caution; very well, Wu here will demonstrate sincerity."

Saying this, his Qi Mechanism erupted, and he gravely declared:

"Everyone heed my order! The matter concerning the Refining Realm Master is of great significance, it must not fall into the hands of the Evil God. Utilize every resource; if war breaks out, offer full support!"

"You are wise, City Lord!"

The numerous figures below resounded in agreement.

The Dragon Demon Wu Tianya let out a sigh of relief, though puzzled in his heart.

From their last encounter, he knew that man appeared reckless, yet actually had a crafty mind. Was it possible he really wasn’t here?

Of course, Zhang Kui had come, but he hadn’t boarded the ship.

At the moment, he was concealed, hovering above the Meteorite Sea, his eyes shimmering with the Tai Chi Light Wheel, observing with the Tongyou Skill.

What the Fish Demon said was true; indeed, the vultures were gathering.

The starry sky vast, even the largest starships were like specks of dust, yet in his eyes, they were enormous and clear.

Four major forces had arrived: the Divine Statue Starship, the Ingot Mother Ship, the Whale Ship, and a band of misfit armies.

The most prominent was the Divine Statue Starship.

According to the Fish Demon, it was the oldest star thief in this Star Sea, known as the Yin Spirit Thief, from ancient times, roaming the stars to this day.

Zhang Kui recognized its origins at a glance and was even quite familiar with it.

An Ancient Immortal Dynasty’s Divine Path still possessed the peculiar power of the Underworld...

Like the Great Star Festival, the Divine Path merged with the Deceitful Immortal’s power, completely free from the constraints of the Power of Incense Fire, though there was no Deceitful Immortal present, it was unclear what had occurred.

Worth mentioning was its immense divine statue, with many materials from the Divine Strange Pearl embedded, making it highly coveted.

Zhang Kui already knew the Divine Strange Pearl was refined from stone blocks encased in the Reincarnation Crystal, granting it the power to traverse Yin and Yang, making this Divine Statue Starship a truly valuable treasure.

Moreover, the Ingot Mother Ship’s structure provided him with numerous insights, greatly aiding the refining of the Siling Mountain Star Beast Starship.

Not to mention the star beast-like Whale Ship, the technology to control star beasts was incredibly important; once the Celestial Essence Star was refined, it might certainly be needed.

After all, the strongest Chaos Core he had seen could only power a mountain-sized Immortal Ship, and after refinement, the Celestial Essence Star would have seven continents. Even in the vision of the Celestial Craft Immortal Realm, star beasts are needed to pull, let alone us...

Thinking this, Zhang Kui’s mouth curled into a slight smile.

This wasn’t a raid, it was clearly a delivery of gifts...
