9: Chapter 9: AFK Farming of Troops, Initial Success of Dual Cultivation of Immortal and Martial Arts!

Wang Pingan's consciousness hovered above the Divine Kingdom, and after confirming that all resources were properly placed, he finally brought up that hidden talent.

[Hidden Talent: SSS-Grade Master of Time (Unique)]

[Function: Change the time flow rate between the Divine Kingdom and the outside world]

[Current Flow Rate: 1 day in the outside world, 2 years in the Divine Kingdom!]

Wang Pingan looked at the text on the panel, his breathing slightly heavier.

A-Grade Comprehension was his overt signature, while the Small Spirit Vein and Mysterious Blood Pool were the Foundation given to him by the Family.

Yet what truly allowed him to surpass all his peers was always this unique hidden talent.

Without hesitation, Wang Pingan directly adjusted the time flow rate between the Divine Kingdom and the outside world to its current limit.

The next moment, fine ripples appeared in the Void Realm at the edge of the Divine Kingdom, and the entire continent was enveloped by an invisible power of time.

The speed of the sun and moon's rotation began to accelerate, and the alternation between day and night became increasingly frequent.

For Wang Pingan outside the Divine Kingdom, all of this simply looked like the picture was speeding up.

For the citizens within the Divine Kingdom, their lives remained normal; a day was still a day, and a year was still a year.

Inside the Divine Kingdom, the first batch of citizens had already begun dividing their labor.

The strong and robust youths came near the Mysterious Blood Pool, led by the few who first comprehended the Savage Bull Body-Forging Fist to practice boxing.

Bare-chested, they stood on stakes against the mountain wind, repeatedly refining their boxing stances, refusing to stop even when their whole bodies trembled with exhaustion.

The Qi and blood power of the Mysterious Blood Pool was inhaled into their bodies, tempering their muscles and bones bit by bit.

Another group of steady-minded citizens sat at the foot of the Small Spirit Vein mountain, adjusting their breathing according to the methods of the Green Wood Breathing Technique.

At first, they could not find the right entry method, often sitting for half a day without any movement.

However, the effects of A-Grade Comprehension began to take hold.

The breathing vital points that originally required repeated exploration were dismantled bit by bit in their minds.

Some discovered that the Spiritual Qi was gentler in the early morning, some found that locations closer to the spirit fields made it easier to enter deep meditation, and others modified their breathing rhythm to better suit themselves.

Gathering these minor modifications together continuously elevated the Cultivation efficiency of the entire tribe.

Only a little over an hour had passed in the outside world, while over a month had already passed within the Divine Kingdom.

The village evolved from initial chaos into order.

By day, the citizens farmed the spirit fields, hunted wild beasts, and built roads; by night, they practiced Cultivation Techniques in batches.

The cries of infants echoed from the houses, and the effects of the Elementary Fertility Card began to manifest.

Young men and women formed families, newborns arrived one after another, and the population began to grow slowly.

Wang Pingan looked at this scene, feeling an indescribable satisfaction in his heart.

He was not merely nurturing a single Genius individually; he was pushing the entire tribe to advance toward a transcendent civilization.

After a few more hours, several months had already passed within the Divine Kingdom.

Finally, the first citizen successfully guided Qi into the body.

That was a youth in his early twenties named Wang Mu. He meditated at the foot of the Spiritual Vein mountain for three months, finally capturing the first wisp of Spiritual Qi.

After the Spiritual Qi entered his body, his Meridians were gently opened, officially stepping into the first layer of Body Refining.

Wang Pingan's Divine Kingdom panel immediately popped up a prompt.

[Citizen Wang Mu successfully stepped into the first layer of Body Refining, officially initiating the Immortal Dao system] (The current settings are Body Refining, Qi Condensation, Foundation Establishment, Purple Mansion, Golden Core...)

In the plain village, Wang Mu was so excited that he knelt on the spot, kowtowing toward the sky.

"Thank you, Divine Lord, for bestowing the technique!"

Stimulated by this, the other Cultivation Citizens experienced a surge in their enthusiasm for Cultivation.

On the same day, commotion of a Breakthrough also came from beside the Mysterious Blood Pool.

A tall citizen, Wang Shan, after continuous Body Tempering, executed the complete boxing stance of the Savage Bull Body-Forging Fist, and the Qi and blood inside his body abruptly surged in strength.

[Citizen Wang Shan successfully stepped into the first layer of Body Forging, officially initiating the Martial Dao system] (The current settings are Body Forging, Bone Refining, Blood Condensation, Martial Master, Martial Ancestor...)

Wang Shan excitedly raised his stone axe and roared toward the direction of the mountain forest, scaring a distant herd of wild boars into scattering in all directions.

Seeing this, the corners of Wang Pingan's mouth finally curved upwards.

The Immortal Dao was established.

The Martial Dao was also established.

From this moment on, his Divine Kingdom was no longer just an ordinary primitive tribe, but an Immortal Martial Divine Kingdom that truly possessed a transcendent system.

Time continued to accelerate.

Spring, summer, autumn, and winter of a year passed by rapidly within the Divine Kingdom.

The spirit fields ushered in their first harvest.

Nourished by the Spiritual Vein, the hundred mu of spirit rice grew lush and gratifying; the golden-cyan rice ears were heavy enough to bend the stalks, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance of rice.

The citizens cut down the spirit rice, dried it, stored it in granaries, and offered the first batch of spirit rice before the divine altar in the center of the village.

Wang Pingan did not take away this spirit rice; instead, he issued a divine decree allowing all Cultivating citizens to distribute it according to their merits.

After the spirit rice entered their stomachs, the Qi Condensation citizens breathed and absorbed Qi even faster, and the Body Forging citizens recovered their Qi and blood much quicker.

Soon, the second and third batches of first-layer Body Refining and first-layer Body Forging practitioners appeared successively.

The twenty percent success rate bonus brought by A-Grade Comprehension was merely a boost on a single person.

Yet when applied to a thousand citizens, it would form an astonishing overall elevation.

Someone improved the introductory incantation of the Green Wood Breathing Technique, allowing even children to sense Spiritual Qi in advance.

Someone split the Savage Bull Body-Forging Fist into thirty-six basic movements to make it convenient for the physically weak to practice slowly.

These modifications were all very crude, yet very practical.

Watching the Cultivation Technique proficiency continuously rise, Wang Pingan became increasingly certain that his choice was not wrong.

The early stages of Immortal-Martial Dual Cultivation indeed consumed a massive amount of resources, but as long as there was enough time, the citizens themselves could perfect the system.

The sky outside gradually grew dark, yet Wang Pingan still sat cross-legged in the secret chamber, most of his Divine Thought immersed within the Divine Kingdom.

Inside the Divine Kingdom, the first year was coming to an end.

The population grew from one thousand to one thousand one hundred.

The village had been expanded three times; wooden and stone houses connected into patches, a specialized warehouse appeared beside the spirit fields, and a simple martial arts arena was built near the Mysterious Blood Pool.

Wang Mu became the leader of the first batch of Cultivation Citizens.

Wang Shan became the instructor for the Martial Dao Citizens.

They did not break away from Wang Pingan's control, but instead assumed responsibilities better suited to themselves under the iron laws of the Divine Kingdom.

Wang Pingan did not excessively interfere.

What civilization evolution feared most was the Divine Lord meddling in everything; as long as the direction was correct, the citizens themselves would find more efficient methods.

After the second year began, the effects of the Fertility Card fully manifested.

The number of newborns in the Divine Kingdom village increased noticeably, and the population structure began to stabilize.

The spirit rice had consecutive bumper harvests, and the granaries were piled high with spirit rice.

The hunting team penetrated deep into the forest, bringing back a large amount of meat, and the physiques of the Body Forging citizens grew stronger and stronger.

The Qi Condensation citizens learned the most basic Spirit Rain Spell; although its power was very weak, it could nourish the spirit fields and increase the survival rate of the spirit rice.

Moreover, a few citizens with higher Comprehension Ability had already begun attempting to combine the Spirit Rain Spell with farmland management.

Over on the Martial Dao side, they were not idle either.

Wang Shan led a batch of Body Forging citizens to form a hunting team, daily hunting wild boars and deer to ensure a supply of meat while also training in coordination.

They learned three-person encirclement hunting, five-person suppression, and ten-person joint enclosure.

These combat experiences were very primitive, yet they already carried the embryonic form of a legion.

The more Wang Pingan watched, the more satisfied he became.
