Chapter 723: Chapter 656: Longevity World Planning_3

"We must take things one step at a time."

Zhao Xi appeared quite optimistic, "Compared to a year ago, isn’t our situation much better now? The threat from the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect has been resolved, and the devils... we have even conquered the Blood Moat Demon Abyss! Even if they open another large Demon Abyss and let Spirit Venerable Level and Dominator Level Demon Spirits invade our Longevity World, with the power of the Transforming Spirit Heavenly Dao, we will be able to grind them down. And if they choose to manipulate the Demon God Body... that’s fine too."

He said with a laugh, "Surely they can’t create a Demon God Body more formidable than that of the Immortal Master Gu, an Innate Sacred."

His words made both Purple Light Immortal Master and Immortal Master Lingyu break into laughter.

Gu Jinlai also nodded in agreement, "We wait for the devils to make their move! However, it’s best to send more True Immortals and Void Immortals to patrol everywhere. As soon as we sense the devils having the tendency to open a large Demon Abyss, we should immediately expel them while they are still unstable."

"That’s already in progress."

Zhao Xi said, "Some True Immortals and Void Immortals are reclaiming lost land, while others patrol the Longevity World to thoroughly investigate the devils’ every move."

As the few of them exchanged information, they soon arrived at the palace outside the Super Cave Heaven of the Immortal Country.

Under the fervent gazes of the Void Immortal Realm disciples, they entered the palace.

Zhao Xi even pointed with his empty hand, and a simulated star was projected out.

During the creator era, people had already probed the full appearance of the earth beneath their feet, so there were no secrets about the Longevity World to the top cultivators.

It was but a huge star.

As for why the cosmic starry sky would have such a large star, and why its gravity seemed bearable for humans...

Perhaps it was related to spiritual energy?

Perhaps it was related to the Spirit Realm?

To regard other stars and celestial bodies in the universe through the "scientific" lens of Blue Star, taking it as truth, is itself a mistake.

Because there are too many things "science" cannot explain.

"This is what we know about the Human Clan’s gathering places; the largest right now are our Immortal Country and the Holy Dynasty."

Zhao Xi spoke, and on the virtual star, two areas lit up, revealing tens of thousands of points of light: "Each point of light represents a population of a million, and aside from our Immortal Country and the Holy Dynasty, the populations of other gathering places vary... some places are newly restored, while others have always been under the control of the human race, led by forces similar to the Yinglong Sacred Land to resist the devil invasions."

As he spoke, various other points of light began to shine one after another.

"I don’t know how many people there were in the Longevity World a hundred years ago, but I do know that a thousand years ago, when the creator had not yet perished, a curious creator once made a census. At that time, the total population of the entire Longevity World was one hundred and four billion, three hundred ninety-two million, which is to say, the entire Longevity World’s population exceeded a hundred billion. And now..."

Zhao Xi said, his expression slightly solemn.

"Less than twenty billion."

Gu Jinlai quickly discerned an approximate number from the lights on this virtual star.

A hundred billion plummeted to less than twenty billion.

On average, only one in five people survived.

And that was data from a thousand years ago.

In actuality, since the disappearance of the creator, the cultivation civilization had seen significant development, which in turn enhanced the prosperity of human nations and subordinate forces. In other words, when the devils invaded, the true population of the Longevity World was actually far greater than a hundred billion.

Two hundred billion, three hundred billion, or even four hundred billion was not impossible.

From this, we can see how huge the destruction caused by the devil invasions and the turbulence over the past century was to the Longevity World.

"The Longevity World now urgently needs to recuperate and multiply, and the Cave Heavens... originally only served as a bridge for cultivators aspiring to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, but once combined with the Spirit Mechanism Technique, possessing the trait to transform the Spirit Mechanism, they gained other functions. They can act like regulative devices, mediating the distribution of spiritual energy in a region, assigning it to those who need it more, and thus avoiding the waste of spiritual energy."

Zhao Xi said.

"Using Cave Heavens to distribute spiritual energy..."

Gu Jinlai pondered for a moment.

Unlike the Profound Immortal Realm that required a Spirit Root to practice cultivation, in the Longevity World, anyone could cultivate.

In other words, everyone had a Spirit Root.

The main reason many regions still had cultivators unable to form True Qi was the upper layers’ lockdown on lower layers’ Cultivation Techniques and resources.

Let’s set aside the resource lockdown.

If Gu Jinlai was willing to pass down top Cultivation Techniques, within a hundred years, the entire Longevity World would undoubtedly have an abundance of people Refining Gang and Hugging Pill.

If he further simplified the Cultivation Techniques, you wouldn’t even need to talk about Refining God, Divinity Transformation, or Primordial Spirit—just the Devas that require undergoing one spiritual Transformation would emerge like bamboo shoots after a rainstorm.

True practitioners everywhere, a scenario no different from this.

But...

Too many cultivators would inevitably lead to strife for spiritual energy and Spirit Mechanism.

It may not be a good thing.

Just like a country that, to ensure its Combat Power, arms everyone with guns and makes them capable of fighting, will only end up with endless incidents.

Therefore, using Cave Heavens to distribute spiritual energy and focusing on nurturing people with potential to ensure the prosperity of the Cultivation World in the Longevity World is quite necessary.

"If we truly decide to use Cave Heavens as nodes to distribute spiritual energy, then the related systems must be exceptionally well-established. We need to discuss this at length, for if a person with ulterior motives gains control of one of these Cave Heavens, wielding the authority to distribute spiritual energy, it will inevitably affect the cultivators in a region."

Gu Jinlai said.

"Of course."

Zhao Xi nodded, "We plan to use Cave Heavens as nodes and then build eight to ten cities around each Cave Heaven, forming a residential area with a population of over a hundred million. We will distribute these residential areas evenly across the Longevity World. When the population of the Longevity World gradually increases and the residential areas expand, we will slowly fill the gaps between them..."
