Chapter 881: Chapter 361: Major Changes at the Villa
His thoughts swirled rapidly as he sensed his own physical condition, sitting quietly cross-legged without any movement.
Ning Zheng knew clearly.
If he stood up now, that uncontrollable power might make him crush the entire Sword Casting Manor with just one step!
It wasn’t until three days later again.
That Ning Zheng opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath, tentatively extending one foot slowly, gently stepping on the floor of the room.
Nothing happened, the energy was already fully restrained.
He walked out the door, looking at the sun overhead, the ocean outside the manor’s protective shield, the strange schools of fish swimming back and forth.
Starting to ponder the strange events during the breakthrough process.
"Tribulation Core, seems like it can help me ward off disasters? Ward off calamities?"
He pondered, his thoughts flowing,
"But then again, what disaster can weigh more than a hundred billion Tribulation Cores?"
"Whatever disasters or calamities befall me are merely absorbed... into the daily billion-dollar subsidy."
After all.
Currently, Ning Zheng has 101 billion added to him daily by himself, and 100 billion added freely by the tribulation.
Isn’t this exactly a free billion-dollar subsidy? Isn’t this like the second cup half price?
This Tribulation Core has such wonderful uses, and with the daily subsidy of so many Qi Fortune Values, it’s like getting a little return on investment.
His expression showed a hint of realization:
"This is truly karma not attaching to oneself."
"Because the greatest disaster is suppressed on me, the small calamities attaching to me are simply a drop in the ocean."
Ning Zheng could feel his own state, it seems that his Three Calamities and Seven Tribulations of the Self-Transformation Realm would pass just like that, unremarkably.
It seems like another rather boring realm.
Originally, he thought it would be somewhat different from the previous realm.
It could have given him some difficulty, but unexpectedly, there was no challenge, and the cultivation of the Self-Transformation Realm was still without difficulty.
He snapped back to reality and looked at the external information during his closed-door cultivation of these days.
Sword Casting Manor was frantically recruiting disciples through letters, and then exchanging messages with the neighboring Celestial Destiny World, playing the mailbox friendship system with great enthusiasm!
Moreover, they were also researching the crafting of various Immortal Weapons and studying the Taoist system.
Apparently, they couldn’t stay idle at all.
And in the neighboring Celestial Destiny World, after the appearance of Immortal Fate, during this period, the Night Emperor, Emperor Zangwu, and Jian Xin had completely relinquished power!
They spent great costs, exhausting more than half of their vast national power, using a hundred years to carry out three sacrifices, beginning to enter into Xian, to become immortals together.
And the normal process of becoming an immortal.
Is an evolution, a transformation, repairing flaws, forming the foundation of the Immortal Path, requiring about five thousand to twenty thousand years.
So, the Night Emperor entrusted the task of managing the world to his two sons.
The eldest son, Ye Shenming, managed the Divine Capital.
The second son, Ye Shenming, managed the Netherworld.
However, this eldest son was a bit of a simpleton, a fanboy of Emperor Zangwu.
The second son was a layabout, liking qin, chess, calligraphy, painting, all about benevolence, morality, ruling the world with righteousness, transforming the masses, and had unexpectedly come up with the grand vow "The Netherworld will not be empty, vows not to become an Immortal," already having the makings of a Holy Mother!
Ning Zheng didn’t know which lab’s foolish blacksmith taught him this famous saying, which he kept on saying all the time.
Ning Zheng shook his head after seeing it, "He doesn’t know how to teach sons."
"People often say, since ancient times, all emperors are ruthless, it’s not that they are utterly heartless, just more rational than emotional; not killing some people would only result in more people dying, not sacrificing a small part of the populace would sacrifice the entire world."
Benevolence doesn’t manage soldiers, righteousness doesn’t manage wealth.
Look at the Night Emperor, he’s a very good template.
He killed all those with rebellious intentions; didn’t the Night Emperor have brotherly feelings when he led them to conquer the world?
These two children are not lacking in cleverness, they just haven’t endured society’s sting and risen from the bottom, going through nine deaths.
"Guessing that after a batch of the Night Emperor’s veterans are gone, the Celestial Destiny World will be tumultuous... the Night Emperor probably knows but has to leave."
He can’t always be the shield for his children, the road is one they have to walk themselves, if he always protects, the young generation will never be forged.
Ning Zheng recalculated the time.
Now, the Night Emperor and others beginning to become immortals, closing off, estimating that they’d close for five thousand years like Emperor Zangwu... which is a bit more than a month, become immortals and return?
At this point, in about a month, Sword Casting Manor should have also finished the orders for all the Seven-Colored Immortal Artifacts, basically equipping each big shot with a Seven-Colored Immortal Artifact.
Estimating that a great battle is coming, and the Sacrificial Era is beginning.
The Immortality descent upon the Nine-States, guessing that the future will be a dance of demons!
[Current total Qi Fortune Value: 708.6 billion]
Speaking of Qi Fortune Value, in the recent few days, the neighboring earnings have increased a bit more, generally hovering around 120 to 130 billion.
Deducting the daily 101 billion expenditure, there’s still a surplus of twenty to thirty billion.
Compared to actual...
The main thing is that the Celestial Destiny World needs to develop itself, to cultivate, and can’t give everything to Ning Zheng.
And also, they crafted out positions in Immortal, needing to spend massive resources of destiny.
...
Sword Casting Manor.
After Ning Zheng roughly sorted through the upcoming events, he sort of had a plan in mind, then walked into the manor’s plaza.
The bright sunshine cast on the bluestone slabs.
A group that was no longer Money Children, but young and handsome Daoists and Taoist Nuns, took tasks in front of the task board.
All their mouths were full of "leveling up," "identifying equipment," "starting monster hunting again in the afternoon," "saving money to make boots"....
Obviously.
Ghost tide monsters are everywhere in this Ten Thousand Feet Sea Abyss, recently every day Sword Casting Manor would open a wave of monster sieges.
During Ning Zheng’s days of closed cultivation, the streets of the Ghost Village below the mountain were teeming with Wandering Souls thrown in by the blacksmiths encroaching, amidst the ghost tide, greatly disturbing his cultivation.
"Old manager, you’re finally here again!"
Jiucai Rong saw this and quickly ran out from the manager’s room.
"How’s it been recently?" Ning Zheng asked.
"Ah, you’ve not been going to work at the Bone Demon Royal City lately, with the Bone Demon Emperor showing up less, it’s a bit worrisome."
Jiucai Rong scratched his head.
Other players only need to do tasks, fight monsters, forge equipment, but as a planner, he has to consider a lot while planning tasks and main lines for each area.
Especially recently, with Nine Chapters assisting, as a planner for a farming game, he’s been quite busy.
Ning Zheng raised an eyebrow, "Has the Bone Demon Royal City been busy lately?"
"Busy indeed busy."
Jiucai Rong said, "In the past week, there was another Ember siege from next door, and among them, some well-known ancient owners of Self Transformation Tombs became Demon Ghost Kings and attacked in secret."
"That fighting was intense, some relatively young cultivators in the Self-Transformation Realm personally took action, and the sound explosions continued every day, enough to scare someone to death."
"Originally, we planned for you to go out and give a speech, to boost the morale in the city, but later we sent Yan Shuangying."
Ning Zheng felt a little guilty listening to his answer.
Bone Demon Royal City and Xirong City were both busy, after all, Xirong Academy was frantically taking orders and even teaching a group of apprentices.
Both camps kept changing daily, while I was just in secluded cultivation, not caring about external matters.
But in a way, this is also good.
These players playing an online game, playing happily farming... not interfering is exactly the freedom in games they talk about.
Still slightly guilty, Ning Zheng followed all excited Jiucai Rong and inspected Sword Casting Manor under the old rules.
Now the blacksmith shop had updated a version and was a tall thirty-meter room; the furnace was twenty meters tall, said to open a mini Dharma Aspect Giant to manage the smithing.
The other areas were also constantly changing.
Especially the Hairpin Lady Tower, with a very classic beautiful style, recently producing various Taoist Robes, Magical Robes, and boots.
Golden God was a Celestial Spirit Root, an advanced version of Golden Mud, extremely expensive, not something everyone could afford, but Lin Meimei pooled funds to get one.
Using Stone-to-Gold technique on Taoist Robes and such gears, specifically for Daoists to use.
Ning Zheng picked up a garment hung on the first floor of the Hairpin Lady Tower’s Clothing Workshop; it was their prized treasure.
