Cultivation Starts from Killing Pigs

"The Sect Leader has returned!"

Thanks to the convenience of the Divine Path network, the news instantly spread throughout the Divine Dynasty.

Above the Moon Palace, the first who knew cheered excitedly, and then spread the word from one to ten, from ten to a hundred, and soon the entire Moon Palace became a sea of joy.

The people have a scale in their hearts, knowing who treats them well.

On Siling Mountain, the cultivators of the Profound Pavilion were also inexplicably excited. Zhang Kui’s return signifies that an unprecedented project is about to begin.

Perhaps some of them have poor cultivation talents and can never set foot in the Immortal Realm in their lifetime, but if the Celestial Essence Star Realm is completed, it will be their eternal merit.

However, on Kunlun Mountain, Yuan Huang’s face was very grave.

"Immortal Path Alliance..."

"Several hundred at Immortal Level?"

In the Celestial Essence Star Zone, the Divine Path network enabled communication, and Tai Shi naturally knew the details of this trip immediately.

Eliminating hidden dangers in the surrounding star zones was naturally a good thing, but hearing so many at Immortal Level returned with Zhang Kui, Yuan Huang became immediately worried.

"The biggest shortcoming of the Divine Dynasty now is the lack of Immortal Level individuals. The Immortal Path Alliance has a complex membership who cultivate the Immortal Path, what if they harbor ill intentions? This was not the original plan, what happened?"

Due to the selling of Yin Yang True Fire, Yuan Huang is very clear about the situation outside forces. Originally, the plan of the Divine Dynasty was to develop secretly with limited contact to avoid arousing covetous attention, but unexpectedly, the plan changed suddenly.

Zhang Kui would not act recklessly, Yuan Huang guessed that something must have happened.

"This I do not know either."

Tai Shi slightly shook his head, his expression still calm, "The Sect Leader did not say, but he must have calculated in his heart."

Matters have come to this point, Yuan Huang could only accept it, but his eyes flickered with a ghostly light, "Well, several hundred at Immortal Level... they also have their weaknesses..."

...

The vast fleet of the Immortal Path Alliance slowly sailed through the starry sky.

On the deck of the starship made from Desolate Beast Demon Bones, Zhang Kui gazed at the starry sky ahead, his eyes calm.

His original plan was to secretly accumulate strength, to fully reveal himself when the Divine Dynasty had enough confidence, but the words spoken by the Dark God’s clone before it dissipated made him change his mind.

The time is too urgent, perhaps in the next second, a great enemy might descend.

It is necessary to quickly refine the Celestial Essence Star Realm.

Originally, relying solely on himself and eight Immortals from the Divine Dynasty, it would take nearly a year to complete, but with the assistance of the assembly of immortals, it could be finished quickly.

This is not development, but survival.

Of course, he tried to consider every aspect, dividing the Immortal Path Alliance fleet into two after leaving the Celestial Splendor Star Zone, with one part heading to guard the Celestial Capital Star, and the other returning with him.

Most of those who followed were subordinates of the Three Demons or leaders of large races, who had already been selected, and the Three Demons have decided to merge into the Divine Dynasty.

Zhang Kui knew that the reason they made this decision was only partly due to his formidable Tao cultivation skills, more importantly, it was because of his status as a Refining Realm Master.

In that case, let them witness it with their own eyes!

The Immortal Level individuals on each starship were also very curious, looking around at the Celestial Essence Star Zone.

Because the Three Demons previously occupied the Reincarnation, no one dared to come. Now that they have entered, they have become more interested in what Zhang Kui described as the Divine Dynasty.

The New Celestial Path...

They heard that although cultivation is difficult, it is unlike the Immortal Path and the Deceit Immortal Path, which are fraught with hidden dangers, nor is it like the Ancient Immortal Path where beings are enslaved. Could there truly be such a good thing?

The Human Race Divine Path...

Condensing the Power of Faith, it was something from the barbaric and ancient past on their former Life Stars, something already obsoleted, how could it be thriving here?

In the midst of everyone’s anticipation, the fleet continued to advance.

Soon, the Divine Dynasty Fleet, having received the message, gathered to welcome them.

It was quite a spectacle, with the massive Dragon-Body Centipede Starship as the flagship, surrounded by the orderly military fleet, and individual squadrons soaring in the periphery, connected by the Divine Path network and the Divine Fire Domain, enveloping the starry sky with majestic power.

The captains of the Immortal Path Alliance could not help but nod in approval.

They already felt there were only a few Immortals within the Divine Dynasty Fleet, which did not surprise them, considering that the Celestial Essence Star’s beings could rise from what was nearly a dead end, and being a New Celestial Path, having these was already a miracle.

The Divine Fire Domain, though magnificent, was equipped everywhere, and they naturally knew the benefits it brought.

What impressed them was how such a massive fleet could be so well-coordinated, as if each starship was operated by veterans, not like a newly-born force.

As for ill intentions, none harbored any.

Refining Realm Master...

Just thinking of the identity of Zhang Kui as revealed by the Three Demons, many felt excited.

Since they had not formally joined the Divine Dynasty, the Divine Dynasty Fleet presented a welcoming gesture. After the thunderous "Welcome Sect Leader’s return," they turned in unison, merging the two fleets as one, heading towards the Celestial Essence Star.

Zhang Kui was originally puzzled, but after receiving Yuan Huang’s message, he smiled slightly and did not pay further attention.

When passing by Thundercloud Star, Zhang Kui deliberately took a glance.

There, several starships were circling the outskirts, carrying Profound Pavilion cultivators conducting various inspections and recordings.

The plan for refining treasures on Thundercloud Star was set early on. Although it was scheduled after the refining on the Celestial Essence Star Realm, preparations could be made beforehand.

Zhang Kui hadn’t forgotten about Fatty Tiger; that oaf needed Thunder Evolution. After absorbing the thunder from Profound Yin Mountain and entering seclusion to cultivate, he had now reached the Mahayana Realm. Perhaps Thundercloud Star would be where the oaf achieves the Tao.

"Look quickly!"

"A masterpiece of natural craftsmanship!"

As they approached the Celestial Essence Star, members of the Immortal Path Alliance became excited.

They saw the prominent Divine Land Array on the Celestial Essence Star and the Moon Palace and Moon Sea Array. Seeing countless ordinary lives thriving, their doubts vanished completely.

He truly is a Refining Realm Master!

Although it’s not the Star Realm, such a grand array already makes many envious; if their race had such a place, survival and reproduction wouldn’t be so harsh.

At this moment, Yuan Huang led several Immortal Venerates of the Divine Dynasty into the sky.

Zhang Kui laughed and said, "Everyone, let me introduce. These are the Immortal Venerates of my Divine Dynasty, and this is Yuan Huang..."

After the introductions, Zhang Kui nodded slightly, "I know you’re curious about the Moon Palace Array. Yuan Huang, my Taoist friend, will guide you on a tour, while I go ahead."

With that, his figure shimmered and transformed into a stream of light, heading towards the Celestial Essence Star.

At this time, the starships had already docked above the orbit of the Moon Palace, and hundreds of light clusters rose into the sky, converging in one place.

Yuan Huang gracefully smiled and cupped his hands, "Fellow Daoists, please follow me. The Moon Palace is mostly populated by ordinary citizens, so please restrain your auras."

"Naturally."

"Thank you, Taoist friend."

Yuan Huang was wary of their Immortal level numbers, and due to Zhang Kui, the Immortal Path Alliance also dared not act rashly, so both sides were very polite.

After restraining their auras, the immortals began to tour the Moon Palace.

"So many people..."

A leader of the Wandering Race felt a twinge of sadness, his people once numbering tens of thousands when they left their home planet, now less than a hundred.

Yuan Huang sighed, "Having too many people isn’t good either. In the Divine Dynasty, in just three short months, hundreds of thousands of children are born, and they’re forced to squeeze into these tube buildings."

"I think these tube buildings are quite nice!"

The Fish Demon Priest felt an inexplicable pang of jealousy.

What’s wrong with tube buildings? His people had lived squashed in sludge for nearly two thousand years. Even now on that Celestial Capital Star, life was still tough, unlike these people who eat well...

Catching the aroma drifting from the streets, the Fish Demon Priest couldn’t resist the urge to sample everything.

"The things on those starships are quite peculiar."

A Star Thief Captain took note of the patrolling starship fleets.

Yuan Huang sighed again, "Oh, those are dual-core components, including reconnaissance bugs and Divine Fire Cannons... Our Divine Dynasty suffers, consuming divine materials in large amounts, with many items in the Profound Pavilion we dare not produce."

"So many people, yet no one fights."

"Ah, the Divine Dynasty is good in everything except its strict laws. Even we immortals can’t kill citizens at will, it’s so restricting..."

The members of the Immortal Path Alliance found Yuan Huang increasingly annoying.

This deliberate false humility, the barely restrained urge to show off, was utterly irritating, truly despicable...

Yet, no one refuted him. Everyone remained solemn.

This Kaiyuan Divine Dynasty wasn’t a native confined to one place!

They had unheard-of systems, from commoners to cultivators, from Star Officials to immortals, all full of vitality, shining brightly in this dark and chaotic universe!

This is an unprecedented new civilization!

Perhaps it is the future they dared not even dream of...

Finally, someone noticed the Divine Path.

The Divine Path Network, Merit System, Divine Path Dream Realm... one unprecedented thing after another, sparking both envy and surprise.

Wu Tianya’s face was serious, but inside he was bursting with joy; he had bet correctly!

The eyes of the Rakshasa Insect Mother looked somewhat lost, "All beings rejoice, this is the true Buddha Land..."

Many members of the Immortal Path Alliance had sparkles in their eyes, making up their minds completely. Their race was on the brink of collapse, strength a distant hope, but joining the Divine Dynasty promised a stable life.

Originally here to tour the Moon Palace Array, the members of the Immortal Path Alliance were utterly captivated by the Kaiyuan Divine Dynasty itself, endlessly inquiring about everything.

With a mutual smile, Yuan Huang and the Great Venerate Toad had no more concerns.

They had discussed it before.

The Kaiyuan Divine Dynasty, though mainly comprised of the human race, could attract various races to join, even these Forbidden Land Great Demons willing to follow unto death.

Perhaps, when Zhang Kui walked alone with a sword, breaking a sliver of light in the darkness, it was destined that countless would follow, striving to raise the torch.

And this glimmer of light and warmth, in this dark cosmos, became the most precious thing...
