Chapter 94: Chief of Merits
The only instance Wei Yuan had heard of realm stones was related to the Founder. Upon attaining mastery of his Dao, the Founder had traveled west alone and put down the very first realm stone on a land teeming with foreign races. It was also the origin of the Palace of Absolute Beginning’s mountain gate, the Green Cliffs That Hang Over An Empty Valley. That was it.
The fact that realm stones merited their own major category showed how important they were. This piqued Wei Yuan’s curiosity and prompted him to tap into it and browse its contents. The main category was divided into several subcategories: Basic, Advanced, Supreme, and Variant.
The Basic subcategory contained numerous entries, each with detailed descriptions. The core of a realm stone was forged from an Empty Nether Stone. It possessed the ability to transform the world. The nature of the transformed realm depended on the cultivator who nurtured it. Once planted, the realm stone would transform the world and the fortune within a certain radius accordingly. Generally speaking, it would align with the Pure Realm of Humanity.
Humanity mainly relied on realm stones to expand its territory.
Upon planting a realm stone, a cultivator must nurture it with worldly origin qi and all sorts of precious resources. When it had reached a certain level, it would undergo an advancement.
Generally, the most basic realm stone could transform a town’s worth of land. After a century of nurturing, it would undergo advancement and become a mid-tier stone capable of covering a county’s worth of land. A millennium of nurturing, and it would become a high-tier stone capable of covering a commandery’s worth of land. Only within the domain of a realm stone could the human race freely thrive, multiply, and cultivate the land.
Over a hundred realm stones were recorded under the Basic subcategory. Wei Yuan read each entry carefully.
Realm Stone 377: Nurtured for 17 years, qualified, no special properties.
Realm Stone 491: Nurtured for five years, qualified, no special properties.
