Chapter 353: Shedding Mortality Project!On the Scarlet Tide Continent, Chen Lingyu and Wan Baqian were discussing pill business, “Senior sister, Yan Mountain’s pills sell like hotcakes and we never seem have enough stock!”
Chen Lingyu said, “The entire continent is refining pills. There’s only so many cultivators out there.”
“We earn ten Heaven Spirit Veins a month; that’s is too slow. Since the first two realm pills are refined so well, then why not make the entire land filled with only cultivators? Be it of no or some talent, when they take pills, everyone can reach the Dao Initiation realm. Once there they can refine King ranked pills. We will then be able to spread our pills to every corner of the Three-headed Dragon Constellation!”
“It makes sense. And since Dao Sense realm pills have little value to you, I’ll just go ahead and make sure there’ll be no mortal around!”
Then added, “I will sort out a plan first. It also happens that Master had a fist art that can boost Dao Sense realm cultivation.”
Chen Lingyu went to Zhong Tongzi to inform him of the plan. Yet the man stood there in a daze. He only needed to carry out Chen Lingyu’s order. As for worrying about Yan Mountain’s balance? Forget it, it’d be more reasonable if we were stressed out if the Heavenly Court invaded or not.
The continent soon had notice boards everywhere, stating: ‘The Shedding Mortality Project: the age of cultivation is here!’
w.a.n.g Er was tilling on his farm when a solid man appeared out of nowhere, “w.a.n.g Er, stop with the d.a.m.n tilling, for mother’s sake!”
w.a.n.g Er was not in the least bit happy, “Er Gouzi, you’re thinking of slacking again? If I don’t work, will you be the one to support me? Will you support my old lady?”
“What rubbish are you spouting? Let me tell you, the emperor abdicated. They all went to cultivate!”
w.a.n.g Er was astonished, “You must be joking! We have an emperor!? We won’t pay any more taxes?”
“What taxes? Those big men all said that everyone needs to cultivate!”
“But no one will work the land! What are we going to do for food?”
“Do cultivators need to eat?”
w.a.n.g Er threw away the how “Great news! Even I can cultivate?”
“The h.e.l.l you saying that for? Even that dumb neighbor of ours is throwing fists around in front of w.a.n.gwu Mountain! They talk about some great project or whatever; pig-raising plan maybe? Anyhow, it says that even a pig can cultivate. Once you practice that fist thingy, you’ll get to live a hundred years!”
With the Shedding Mortality Project, the entire populace entered a cultivating age.
A cultivator was also seen flying on his sword from time to time, using his intent to shout a slogan, “This is a new era. We will answer Yan Mountain’s call and leave not a single mortal on these lands!”
“This never happened before, a revolutionary change! Under Yan Mountain’s wise rule, we are making grounds into a new age, the age of cultivation!”
“Those that do not want to cultivate will become Yan Mountain’s enemies!”
“The higher-up have spoken: don’t spare anything in carrying out the Shedding Mortality Project. Destroy any who oppose you!”
No cultivator saw it coming. Was Yan Mountain that strong?
Yan Mountain can no longer tolerate our land’s mortals. This is too much!
Three days later.
On w.a.n.gwu Mountain, a hundred thousand commoners ate their pills. The place was so packed there was a man every ten feet.
They heard a shout from the mountain, “Follow this King in practicing the fist art! The whole land is cultivating it from dusk till dawn, charmed by its power! Begin!”
w.a.n.g Er and Er Gouzi were nearby, holding a pill in their hands, “Er Gouzi, you think this little thing can keep us full?”
“Er Gouzi, say something!”
“Can’t, I ate half and feels like I’m gonna pop!”
w.a.n.g Er was by himself with joy, It can fill our bellies! “Didn’t they say if we don’t punch we’re going to die from overeating?”
Er Gouzi rushed in following the Archfiend’s example. w.a.n.g Er took less than half a pill and felt overwhelmed with energy, burning hotter and hotter. He also began practicing.
“Hu! Hu! Ha!”
“Hu! Hu! Ha!”
“Hu! Hu! Ha!”
Zhong Tongzi toured the kingdoms and happened to run into this place on his inspection. He saw the mountain packed with mortals practicing a fisting art. En, good, very good. He turned to the Archfiend, “You once followed me in clearing the forbidden areas. Don’t disappoint me and teach them with due diligence. If enough reach the Dao Initiation realm, your path to Sovereign rank is guaranteed!”
The Archfiend was almost jumping in joy, “Leave it to me, sir!”
Zhong Tongzi said, “That Bai Wuxia pa.s.sed down a death order to his men. They need to raise ten million Dao Initiation realm cultivators in three years. We can’t fall behind in this!”
Archfiend raised his hand to his forehead, “Worry not, sir, I will definitely meet the target of ten thousand Dao Initiation realm cultivators!”
Zhong Tongzi nodded, “En, Fourth Sect Leader and Fifth Sect Leader have long been thinking on this proposal. This is Yan Mountain’s most important project. You all need to work hard. I will go check on the next area!”
Zhong Tongzi flew as the Archfiend said, “Did you hear? If we don’t have ten thousand Dao Initiation realm cultivators in three years, I will personally train you till death!”
The Archfiend and many other cultivators were overseeing the training process, “w.a.n.g Er, punch harder. Didn’t you take your medicine?”
“Er Gouzi, strike the tree in front of you. Think of him as the man who has an affair with your wife. How many leaves are left, that’s how many times he gave it to her!”
Er Gouzi’s hair stood on end as he banged away!
The Archfiend was pleased, “En, good, very good. Work hard on training!”
Zhong Tongzi resumed his inspection. He saw the throng of people before he even arrived, day in day out, punching without rest. En, very good, very very good. The whole continent is cultivating.
The him of before would never even dream of such an undertaking. Yan Mountain unified the land in three years and already wanted to accomplish such a huge task. Such great power!
As for himself, he had all the treasure he needed in today’s Yan Mountain, while his cultivation also made its way ever higher. Zhong Tongzi felt carefree all of a sudden, his body shivered and just like that he entered the Beneath Immortal stage! “Ha-ha-ha, I am the first Beneath Immortal! Bai Wuxia, how will you contest me now? I better rush over and report this to Fourth Sect Leader. And also request to remain on the Scarlet Tide Continent!”
The h.e.l.l would I go into the Galaxy for? He was the ruler of thousands on this star and countless other cultivators. Why would he go when he was living it up here?
And I also saw that mysterious tree. I might not know what it is but I am the only one who can go there. What did it mean?
It meant he was capable and worthy of Mountain Lord’s trust. He recalled the time when the two of them were up against those seven. Mountain Lord fought six alone while I stood aside and cheered him on!
But that’s beside the point. The most important thing is that I’m the one Mountain Lord trusts the most!
As for Bai Wuxia and the rest… Humph, how can they compare?
