Qu Shenzong He Dao Chapter 1251: 487: Spiritual Energy Plummets!
A Hundred Years!
Qu Shenzong He Dao Upon returning to the Longevity Dao Field from the Broken Heavenly Immortal Realm, Chen Dengming found that the concentration of Spiritual Energy within the Dao Field had declined significantly overall.
In the past, the closer one got to the Longevity Thirteen Peaks, the more abundant the Spiritual Energy became.
Within three hundred miles of the Longevity Thirteen Peaks, even the wilderness possessed a richness of Spiritual Energy that approached sixty percent of a first-tier Spirit Vein.
...
As such, within a radius of three hundred miles around the Longevity Thirteen Peaks, there were often Cultivation Families who relied on and stationed themselves in this area.

Inside Chang’an Market, the Spiritual Energy was especially abundant.
But now, the richness of Spiritual Energy within the three hundred-mile range of the Longevity Thirteen Peaks had dropped by nearly half, almost equivalent to the dilapidated gathering places of Loose Cultivators.
The first and second tier Spiritual Vein Lands within Chang’an Market had also seen a depletion in Spiritual Energy.
Although the Longevity Sect had swiftly implemented some measures, providing assistance to the nearby markets and families.
But within the next hundred years or so, this region would find it very difficult to return to its former glory days of abundant Spiritual Energy.
If this was the situation near the Longevity Sect, needless to say, areas further away had fared worse, with some wilderness areas having as sparse Spiritual Energy as the remote edges of the Southern Region.
However, with the Longevity Sect producing a Divine Transformation-level cultivator, this was ultimately a delightful and congratulatory event.
Whether it was the Immortal Sect Way Gates living within the Longevity Dao Field or even those outside, and some from the Four Oceans, they all dispatched representatives with congratulatory gifts to offer their felicitations without delay.
This was a customary practice in the Cultivation World; one couldn’t afford not to offer congratulations.
A strong Sect, once they had an additional powerful cultivator, meant that their demands for resources would also increase, and at the same time, they would possess more strength to obtain even more resources.
Where would those additional resources come from?
Naturally, it was by seizing and squeezing the resources of other Sects.
Sect wars, which were frequent in the Cultivation World, were mostly rooted in the redistribution of resource interests.
Although the Longevity Sect had a good reputation, it didn’t mean they didn’t need resources.
Moreover, with the breakthrough of a Divine Transformation cultivator, this had caused an overall decline in the Spiritual Energy of the Longevity Dao Field.
To ensure the balance of Spiritual Energy within the field and to achieve high-quality, sustained development, acquiring more Spirit Vein resources had become a necessity.
Many Immortal Sect Way Gates hurried to bring gifts, which was also a way to foster good relations in advance, to gather intelligence, and to avoid problems that arise from stepping into the door with the left foot first and die as a result.
After Chen Dengming observed the plight of the people in the Longevity Dao Field from high above and saw that many Cultivator families were starting to tighten their belts, but were not complaining due to the rapid unfolding of assistance policies by the Longevity Sect, he set his mind at ease.
He had just returned to the Sect when he first encountered Su Yanyan and He Yingyu.
One was his Martial Sister, and the other, his lady, each with their unique temperament, formidable strength, prestigious status, vibrant and full of life, were currently gathered in the Longevity Hall, discussing matters.
Upon seeing Chen Dengming returning, both seemed to have found their backbone.
Although they scolded Chen Laodeng in unison for always being an absentee Sect Leader, and for not being around when needed, their hearts were filled with a different kind of joy.
“Sister, congratulations, congratulations on your breakthrough to Divine Transformation, allowing you to enjoy a lifespan of five thousand years.
Given the longevity of our Longevity Sect’s cultivators, you could live for at least six thousand years.”
Chen Dengming gazed at Su Yanyan’s radiant and full-of-vitality face and said with a smile and a bow.
Su Yanyan maintained her usual cool and detached demeanor, but upon hearing this, she also showed a mock-annoyed expression and huffed, “Are you saying that your sister is old?
What difference does it make to live to six thousand years old?
It just means I’ll be an even older crone.”
“This…
Sister, I meant no such thing.”
Chen Dengming was taken aback, unable to help but give a helpless, wry smile as he waved his hands to deny it.
No matter how skilled Chen Dengming was with words and with handling matters, talking to women, especially about age, could indeed lead to many nuances and subtleties, proving to be quite a challenge to handle.
After the three chatted and laughed for a while, He Yingyu, with the bearing of a competent Sect Leader’s wife, said, “In response to the decline in Spiritual Energy within our Longevity Dao Field, we have officially enacted multiple tax reduction and assistance policies after convening an Elders’ meeting.
With Uncle Master Su’s breakthrough to Divine Transformation as the joyous occasion to announce throughout the field, a variety of tax reduction policies will be implemented over the next fifty years to alleviate the burdens of the cultivators within the field.
Furthermore, we have also announced support measures and the lifting of restrictions in various aspects such as cultivator transactions, buying, and renting houses.
In the past, cultivators from outside the Longevity Dao Field needed to cultivate stably for ten years and, depending on the region, pay a certain amount of taxes each year to qualify for the right to buy and settle in a house within the Longevity Dao Field.
With the restrictions on purchasing now lifted, by declaring that we will solve the decline in Spiritual Energy problem within fifty years, naturally, many cultivators from the Outer Region will want to buy property here, and our local cultivators won’t leave easily!”
Hearing this, Chen Dengming couldn’t help but give a thumbs up.
What a move, truly worthy of being Chen Dengming’s wife; she had directly applied the real estate strategies from his previous life.
This way, indeed, will further energize the Longevity Dao Field, ensuring that economic development does not plummet as well.
Yet, it seemed the issue of Spiritual Energy resources had not been resolved.
Su Yanyan, pacing with her hands behind her back, added, “Besides these measures, as per tradition, our Longevity Sect is now qualified to invite the major Immortal Sects from the Four Regions and even the Four Oceans to address the issue of resource redistribution and to acquire more resources.
If most of the Immortal Sects agree, our Longevity Sect can naturally resolve the resource depletion issue in a short time.
If they do not agree, we will enter the phase of resource redistribution, where the size of the fists will matter.
I think that among the Four Seas and Four Realms, there probably isn’t any Immortal Sect that wishes to conflict with us on this issue.
The chances are high that it would pass in the first round of voting!”
