Cui Heng looked at the two people in front of him and nodded slightly with a smile. “Not bad, you haven’t fallen behind in your cultivation.”
Li Mingqiong shook her head gently and said very respectfully, “If not for the country’s luck that Master left behind, I wouldn’t have achieved what I have today.”
“The cultivation technique only opened a door for you.” Cui Heng chuckled and said, “If you don’t have the means to govern this country well, then it’s just a wonderful technique. You’re already doing very well.”
“Thank you for your praise, Master!” Li Mingqiong immediately felt satisfied.
At this moment, she felt that all her efforts in the past 200 years were worth it. To be able to receive praise from her master was her greatest achievement and the most glorious honor.
Cui Heng looked at Li Wei and said with a smile, “I didn’t expect you to have also become a Sage. After all this time, the two of you siblings are actually at the same realm. However, he is still using the Immortal True Essence as the foundation. It can’t compare to your current achievements.”
“He actually became a Sage too?” Li Wei seemed to be a little surprised, then she smiled faintly and said, “Then he can finally fulfill his former ideals and let our Li family and the Nine Deaths Heavenly Sect be on equal footing.”
“Li Cheng has such an ideal?” Cui Heng laughed when he heard this, but he shook his head gently and said, “However, his dream can’t be fulfilled. The current Chongyang Star is already very different from what you know…”
Then, he briefly explained the current situation of Chongyang Star to the two of them to prevent them from being too shocked when they arrived.
“What? There are already more than a thousand Sages in the Five Views Realm now?!”
Li Wei could not help but exclaim when she heard Cui Heng’s explanation, her face filled with disbelief.
If this news was not from Cui Heng, her first reaction would be that she had heard wrongly or that someone was trying to lie to her.
This was too ridiculous and exaggerated.
It was simply unbelievable!
More than a hundred years ago, there were already more than 800 Sage in the Five Visions Realm. Later on, Cui Heng released more Myriad Techniques Return to One Pill in small batches, naturally allowing the number of Sages in the Five Visions Realm to easily exceed 1,000.
However, Li Wei quickly realized that she had lost her composure. She hurriedly bowed and apologized to Cui Heng, “Immortal Venerable, I, I didn’t mean to interrupt just now. I was too surprised and couldn’t help myself.”
“It’s fine to interrupt occasionally.” Cui Heng smiled.
He did not care much about this. Then, he continued to talk about the changes on Chongyang Star. He gradually talked about Pei Qingshu’s uprising, the establishment of the Wu Dynasty, the implementation of order and rules, and so on.
“Junior Brother actually became an Emperor too.” Li Mingqiong smiled when she heard this. Then, she seemed to have thought of something and smiled faintly. “Master, I’m actually already implementing the rules you implemented on Chongyang Star. Why don’t you come and take a look at the order of my Great Zhou?”
“Alright, take it as a test of your cultivation results over the past 200 years.” Cui Heng nodded and smiled.
….
With Cui Heng’s current cultivation, he naturally did not need to travel everywhere to check the entire Great Zhou.
As long as he flew into the sky and looked down, he could see the entire Great Zhou in the blink of an eye.
Not only the people on the surface, but even the things that happened in the darkest corners could not escape his eyes.
Therefore, Cui Heng brought Li Mingqiong and Li Wei into the sky and looked down.
At this moment, the lights of the Great Zhou and the smoke from the chimneys were all reflected in his eyes.
He saw a stable and peaceful country where the people lived and worked in peace.
The people here only needed to work hard every day to have a good life. They did not even need to be very strong.
This was because the government and the Imperial Court were protecting them.
Safety and order were perfectly reflected in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
This was the world Cui Heng wanted.
The reason why the Great Zhou Dynasty could become like this was related to the cultivation of the country’s fortune that he had taught Li Mingqiong.
Hence, after understanding this, Cui Heng immediately felt balls of purple-gold light light up in the Purple Mansion Golden Hall and begin to nourish his Nascent Soul, improving the essence of his Nascent Soul.
The effect of his Dharmic powers had become even stronger.
“There’s also feedback like this.” Cui Heng was overjoyed.
This meant that as long as the source of the transformation in a world was him and he had managed to construct an orderly and safe world, he could obtain feedback.
From another perspective, as long as Li Mingqiong’s Great Zhou Dynasty had a stronger range of influence and maintained this stable and orderly safe state, it could constantly provide him with feedback.
“In that case, the process of my Soul Formation should be greatly accelerated.” Cui Heng thought to himself and began to comprehend the changes in his Dharmic powers.
After receiving the nourishment of the Purple Golden Divine Light, although his Nascent Soul’s cultivation did not increase, its essence was sublimating, making the effect of his Dharmic powers even more mysterious.
The process of a Nascent Soul cultivator breaking through to the Soul Formation realm was to let their “Dao” descend into reality, thereby achieving a distortion and great influence on the Great Dao of reality.
Therefore, although Cui Heng had yet to truly break through to the Soul Formation realm, after walking the path of the Soul Formation realm and condensing the Purple Golden Divine Light to increase the essence of his Nascent Soul, his Dharmic powers had already had a similar effect.
Now, this effect was even stronger.
With a thought, he saw through the deep laws of the Heavenly Void World and clearly saw the state and operation of this small world.
“Huh? This is…” Cui Heng’s eyes suddenly lit up as he looked up.
After the effect of his Dharmic powers increased, he sensed the situation in the alternate space outside the Heavenly Void World.
“Master, what’s wrong?” Li Mingqiong noticed the change in Cui Heng’s expression and asked curiously.
“Mingqiong, your cultivation is about to reach a bottleneck, right?” Cui Heng retracted his gaze and asked Li Mingqiong.
Through his observation just now, he had already discovered the hidden danger of the Great Zhou.
“Yes.” Li Mingqiong nodded. “In another hundred years or so, there won’t be enough land here.”
Land was not only about living space, but also various resources.
If the population continued to grow explosively like now, it would be difficult to distribute the resources reasonably in a hundred years.
At that time, it would be difficult to maintain the current order, and all kinds of conflicts would definitely erupt.
This was inevitable.
Unless she could obtain more land and resources, it would be very difficult for her cultivation to improve.
“There’s a chance to obtain more land now.” Cui Heng pointed at the void above and smiled. “Now, the Heavenly Void World is coming into contact with a small world.”
“You mean…” Li Mingqiong was stunned for a moment before she said in surprise,” The Heavenly Void World has come to another alternate space with a small world? ”
The Heavenly Void World was essentially formed from a fragment of the Nine Heavens Cloud Realm and had the characteristics of self-repair.
Therefore, as long as it encountered some small worlds in the alternate space, it was possible to devour them and use them to repair itself.
In the past thousands of years, the Heavenly Void World had devoured some small worlds several times, increasing its size.
This was where the three Buddhist monasteries came from.
“Yes, I just discovered that there’s a small world in this alternate space.” Cui Heng nodded slightly and smiled. “Moreover, the Heavenly Void World has already established a connection with it.”
The so-called alternate space was a special space that was attached to a normal material planet.
The essence was the state of the spatial rift after it expanded.
Spatial rifts were natural cracks formed by spatial fluctuations or compression.
They had some connections with each other before, so after passing through a gap, they might appear outside another gap.
This was also the foundation of long-distance teleportation.
As long as he connected the two fixed gaps, he could achieve the effect of instantly crossing an extremely long distance.
The teleportation array was set up with similar methods.
However, the spatial rift was actually only in the Primary Stage.
If a gap was allowed to grow and expand at will, after a long time, it would form a huge alternate space that would attach to the surrounding mass.
This alternate space still retained the characteristics of a spatial rift. There might be a connection between two or more worlds.
However, there was no matter inside the alternate space, so this connection was meaningless.
However, if a substance from the outside world accidentally fell into an alternate space, the situation would be different.
This substance would start from the alternate dimension it first came into contact with and circulate in the many alternate dimensions connected to it.
And every once in a while, it would return to the original alternate space.
This was actually the situation in the Heavenly Void World.
It was the “matter” that cycled through multiple alternate dimensions.
The alternate space attached to Daozhou Star was the starting point of the Heavenly Void World. The Heavenly Void World would return every hundred years, so there was an intersection every hundred years.
This was not the intersection period, which meant that the Heavenly Void World was wandering in other alternate spaces. This meant that there was an extremely low chance of encountering other small worlds.
“The last time the Heavenly Void World encountered a small world was thousands of years ago. I wonder what we’ll encounter this time.” Li Mingqiong was very interested in this and smiled. “No matter what, the Heavenly Void World will definitely expand because of this.”
This way, there was a high chance that the shortage of land resources would be compensated.
“Don’t be happy too early.” Cui Heng shook his head and chuckled. “According to the natural recovery speed of the Heavenly Void World, it will take at least 70 to 80 years to complete this merger.”
“70 to 80 years… That’s not too late.” Li Mingqiong estimated that although the conflicts between the various levels of the Great Zhou would begin to appear in 70 to 80 years, they would most likely not develop to the point of intense conflict.
“However, in another dozen years, that small world will probably be gone.” Cui Heng looked at the sky and then at Li Mingqiong. “Mingqiong, do you want to help them?”
“Ah?” Li Mingqiong asked curiously, “Master wants to bring us to that world?”
“No.” Cui Heng shook his head gently and said in a low voice, “It’s to speed up the fusion of this small world with the Heavenly Void World.”
