The peaceful days didn't last long. As if they had planned it all along, those forces started sending text messages one by one.
After reading the contents, Li Daoxuan's lips curled slightly.
"After so much planning, we've finally entered the final chapter. So... let the revelry begin..."
Thinking about it, I responded to each of them.
Soon after, Fengrao announced that it had reached cooperation agreements with various islands in the Star Cha Sea.
The independent cultivators were quite surprised to hear this news. This was probably the first force in history to receive the support of all the islands.
From this moment forward, Abundance has become a colossal entity, backed by various forces across the Starship Sea.
Now, Fengrao's development will not only be free from local suppression, but will also receive various policy support.
Countless stores opened, factories operated at full capacity, trade flowed in an endless stream, prosperity was at its peak, as if the world were at peace, cultivators rejoiced, spirit stones circulated, forces toasted each other, and the festive atmosphere was ever-growing.
Little did they know that a financial storm was quietly sweeping across the world.
Li Daoxuan, who stirred up this storm, pocketed huge amounts of spirit stones.
He predicted that this financial building would collapse within a few decades, which was an inevitable outcome.
What he needed to do was to collect all the spirit stones and leave unscathed before that happened.
Everything can be simplified from complexity, and its root cause can be explained by the monetary system.
Spirit stones can accelerate a cultivator's cultivation, so they have been given monetary value. No matter how other objects change, the currency, namely spirit stones, will not depreciate.
There is a limit to the number of spirit stones that can be produced in a region. When cultivators use spirit stones to cultivate or make other things, they will leave a trace in this world, thus achieving a complete cycle.
Once the spirit stones are in Li Daoxuan's pocket, they will never be circulated into the Star Chariot Sea again.
Once this amount reaches a certain threshold, 'boom!' a huge hole in the real economy will be exposed to everyone's view.
This harm may not be apparent for several years, but over time, the number of cultivators that the Star Chariot Sea region can nurture will decrease.
This is a direct consequence of resource scarcity.
But is this wrong? Cultivating immortality is for one's own benefit, seizing all resources to achieve ascension to the upper realm. Every immortal is essentially a plunderer, taking away a huge amount of resources from the lower realm.
Perhaps this world has its own way of replenishing resources in the lower realm, but none of that is something Li Daoxuan should worry about.
A year passed quickly.
He used the spirit stones he obtained that year to improve his cultivation, and his strength broke through from the Nascent Soul stage to the early stage of the Deity Transformation stage.
Only now can he be considered a true master repairman.
The lifespan of a Nascent Soul is two thousand years. It can comprehend and utilize the great power of heaven and earth. If the Nascent Soul is immortal, it can be reborn by borrowing another body.
Upon reaching the Nascent Soul stage, one's lifespan is eight thousand years. One becomes proficient in the great power of heaven and earth, easily manipulating energy tides to launch attacks. As long as the primordial spirit remains, one can possess another body and be reborn. After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, cultivators can create their own supernatural powers and spells.
It can be said that he has begun to embark on his own path.
Supernatural powers are the hallmark of a deity.
"To create one's own supernatural powers...?"
Li Daoxuan seemed to be deep in thought.
He has zero experience in this area; if he had some special ability to learn from, it would be much easier.
But who would easily reveal their supernatural abilities to others? This is a trump card, a decisive blow in a crucial game.
"One could certainly make use of what one has seen or heard in a past life."
Li Daoxuan pondered, "Even if I've never eaten pork, I've at least seen a pig run."
Think about the descriptions of various powerful beings in novels from my past life. They were all ridiculously high-class, especially the creation of the primordial world, and the Journey to the West I read when I was a child.
I still vividly remember Zhen Yuanzi's move, "Universe in the Sleeve."
Such a powerful and sophisticated supernatural ability is too good to pass up... it would be a shame not to copy or learn from it.
Although it's a replica and far inferior to the real supernatural power "Universe in the Sleeve," it's not wrong to call it "Universe in the Sleeve" if you round it up a bit. And if you round it up even more, "Universe in the Sleeve" is his original creation... in this world.
With the template in hand, Li Daoxuan began to grasp the essence of creation.
There was no activity throughout the day, which is normal. Supernatural powers aren't so easy to create.
When resting at night,
Li Daoxuan and Lu Xueqi were enjoying their intimate moments.
[Supernatural Power +240]
[Supernatural Power +240]
"So that's how it was solved..."
As experience points increase, the understanding of the hidden secrets within the sleeve becomes more and more profound.
Lu Xueqi, who was beneath her, was surprised to find that her husband was radiating Daoist energy.
"You must concentrate on what you do."
He patted her hip lightly and turned her head away.
"Hmm...it's clearly my husband who's acting strange."
Lu Xueqi snorted softly.
...
...
After a whole night, he still hadn't grasped the basics of the "Hidden Universe in the Sleeves" technique; he only had a rough outline.
It seems the experience required to master supernatural abilities is extremely high.
No problem, just throw money at it.
With a wave of his hand, the system panel finally changed.
A new section called "Supernatural Abilities" has been added.
[Supernatural Power: Hidden Universe in a Sleeve (Beginner Level) 0/10 million]
Only ten million? I'm rich, keep going!
They spent another 1.1 billion yuan.
[Supernatural Power: Universe in a Sleeve (Grand Mastery) 10/1 billion] (Note: It can no longer be improved. Click for details.)
Click to view Li Daoxuan.
It turns out that one's own cultivation level limits the upper limit of supernatural powers. To reach perfection, one must first break through to the Tribulation Transcending level.
Goodness, transcending tribulation is quite something, isn't it? You're the ceiling of the lower realms, huh?
To test the power of his supernatural abilities, Li Daoxuan came to a corner of the Lonely Sea.
Their gazes were fixed on a group of sea monsters deep in the ocean.
What's going on here? Is the Demon Team holding a big meeting?
The perceptive dragon below looked up and met Li Daoxuan's gaze.
Li Daoxuan gave what he considered a kind smile.
"..."
"Human, I don't know how you found out, but since you're here, stay!"
The dragon breathed a sigh of relief upon discovering that Li Daoxuan was only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
He was a mid-stage fifth-order demon beast with dragon blood, so killing this cultivator who had just entered the Nascent Soul stage would be a piece of cake.
Not to mention there's a bunch of fifth-tier demons here, humans have no chance of escape!
A terrifying purple ray condensed and shot out from its horns.
Its power was immense, and Li Daoxuan did not underestimate it.
The vast ocean has no bounds!
In the blink of an eye, he leaped over a hundred miles away.
"boom!"
The vast ocean was cut off and exposed, and a small island hundreds of miles away was also split in two and eventually sank into the deep sea.
"hold head high!"
A dragon's roar resounded as a massive black shadow shot into the sky.
The enormous dragon tail lashed out at Li Daoxuan like a mountain of immense weight.
Below him, numerous sea monsters launched a simultaneous attack on him.
He had intended to activate the Azure Emperor's Limitless Shield to defend himself, but then suddenly remembered that he had come to test his supernatural powers and spells.
A universe hidden in a sleeve!
With a flick of his sleeve, he activated his supernatural powers.
At this moment, his figure seemed to grow enormous in front of all the demonic beasts present, and his dark sleeves were like an abyss, captivating and awe-inspiring.
The terrifying suction force manipulates the laws of space.
The demons were horrified and had no time to react before being sucked into the sleeves like ants. The dragon that had been soaring in the sky was now nothing more than a small reptile.
In a few breaths, he suppressed a group of fifth-tier demonic beasts and a bunch of miscellaneous creatures.
"With such supernatural power, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he is invincible among those of the same level."
Li Daoxuan looked satisfied.
He wouldn't dare to make a rash claim against someone of a higher level, but he could be certain that he was at the same level.
With their objective achieved, they headed home. As for what these guys were plotting, that was none of their business; if the sky fell, other forces would take care of it.
