33: Prepare for war! Prepare for war!

While you were sorting out your cultivation progress and feeling emotional, this world also underwent earth-shattering changes.

The entire world seemed to expand infinitely in an instant.

Two previously neighboring villages suddenly felt as far apart as if they were separated by a whole province.

The world's expansion and evolution was a gift from heaven and earth, causing no casualties to living beings.

Neither buildings nor cities in concentrated areas were torn apart and turned into ruins.

Instead, the distance outside the city, in the fields where no one walked, became a hundred times further!

Perhaps, mountain bandits who ruled as kings or outlaws in the mountains would suddenly feel that the world only had their one stronghold left, and they could no longer find any villages to plunder!

Perhaps, all regions would become isolated islands, isolated and helpless!

Under these circumstances, it was a great test for Xiao Ruolong, the controller!

Because of your instruction to him to manage the common people well,

Xiao Ruolong dared not be careless. As the currently invincible Martial Emperor, no one would be foolish enough to provoke him!

Those who were made an example of would not be missed!

Xiao Ruolong, on one hand, dispatched various teams to establish contact with people in different regions.

On the other hand, he supervised the construction of supreme grand cities to gather the populace, which was also your requirement!

Knowing that the future held a world war,

and being unsure of the enemy's combat strength, gathering together was a necessary measure to avoid stretching the battle lines too long.

The world's great change happened to be an opportune moment to gather most of the populace and establish several supreme grand cities!

This was to prevent widespread devastation and countless casualties in the future.

With the world's expansion and great change, the heaven and earth origin qi also became more active.

The difficulty of cultivation in each realm was greatly reduced.

It was foreseeable that an era whereinnate (Xiantian) experts were everywhere was about to arrive.

As for whether Heavenly Human Martial Saints were as numerous as dogs, that depended on whether these Heavenly Human Martial Saints were capable enough to break through the Divine Ability Realm limit and become Martial Emperors.

If the number of Martial Emperor level individuals was too small, then breaking through beyond the Heaven-Human Realm would still be difficult!

When more people walk a path, taking one step at a time, they will always make it smoother!

After the sermon, some Martial Saints went into secluded cultivation to comprehend and cultivate, desiring to break through the Heaven-Human Realm with their bodies, transform their divine ability to sacrifice to heaven and earth, and obtain heaven and earth origin qi! They believed they were not inferior to others!

Others began to travel around, searching for the naturally born heaven and earth origin qi you spoke of. They sought stability, a backup plan, and multiple escape routes!

Each had their own ideas!

After this, professions involving the investigation and collection of heaven and earth origin qi might usher in a golden age!

Mountains and rivers became more expansive.

Precious beasts, precious medicines, spirit beasts, and spirit medicines would become even more abundant!

Heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and Martial Saint-level sacred beasts would also appear between heaven and earth.

The world was developing in a positive direction.

If there were no great calamities, perhaps this world would continue to flourish for a very, very long time!

You refined the innate Geng Metal heaven and earth origin qi! You comprehended the profoundness of Geng Metal, gaining a slight understanding of the trace of heaven and earth authority and profound rules contained within this heaven and earth origin qi.

Or rather, a trace of rule profoundness! Sharpness, murderous intent, hardness... If you immersed yourself in it, you might be able to comprehend a Geng Metal divine ability!

But you chose to refine it into a weapon! The former forbidden weapon, now an Emperor Weapon! An Emperor Sword!

Your future path was to go further in the Sword Realm of Boundlessness, but you did not re-enter the Dao to comprehend again. The innate Geng Metal heaven and earth origin qi just happened to satisfy your expectations for a weapon!

Thus, the first complete Emperor Weapon was born!

Boundless Sword, Boundless Emperor Weapon!

It possessed unparalleled sharpness, indestructible hardness, and the manifestation of endless sword intent! It was the embodiment of your accumulated power!

You were satisfied and continued to strengthen yourself. There was not much time left.

You developed the wondrous uses of the Sword Realm of Divine Ability.

Besides the simplest realm pressure, endless sword killing within the Sword Realm, and sword transformation into a god,

you also developed other uses. The Sword Realm was not just a name; it also had substance!

You could draw the Soul and will of living beings into it to receive the baptism of the Sword Dao within the Sword Realm, gain inheritances, and undergo trials!

A supreme killing move could also be transformed into a supreme cultivation holy land!

Without further ado, you brought all the disciples of Divine Sword Manor into the Sword Realm!

Perhaps after the baptism, Divine Sword Manor would see the birth of a large number of Martial Saints!

At eighty years old, your Sword Realm became more perfect. Not only could the disciples become stronger through the Sword Realm's baptism, but their insights would also be absorbed by the Sword Realm, used to perfect it!

You issued a Sword Realm decree to the world!

At eighty-one years old, you completely absorbed and digested your own heaven and earth origin qi. Your strength improved, your Emperor Soul grew stronger, and your Emperor Body became more powerful.

Xiao Ruolong had basically integrated the Xuanwu's populace, and the infrastructure project was in full swing.

Your close friend, Li Daoyi, broke through the limit of Heaven-Human Realm, as did Xiao Tianhao, whom you once considered a Son of Destiny!

They visited you, seeking the Dao!

Both were individuals of great Fortune and extraordinary talent. In the greatly changed world, both had obtained a wisp of naturally occurring heaven and earth origin qi, but they also harbored ambitions to sacrifice their own origin qi to heaven and earth!

You were greatly pleased; the more high-end combat power, the better. You kindly gave them guidance and much encouragement.

At eighty-six years old! You took the second step in the Martial Emperor Realm. You once again comprehended a divine ability: Arc of Annihilation!

You had taken another step forward in the Sword Dao!

Arc of Annihilation: The ultimate fantasy of slashes and sword qi! Annihilating everything, you resolved to destroy the Demon Ancestor Realm and overcome the century-long calamity!

Another seven years passed, and you had your own understanding of the Divine Ability Realm!

To use divine abilities to forge one's essence, qi, and spirit!

To achieve the realm of indestructibility! To become a god!

The intent of indestructibility, an indestructible Soul, indestructible blood, indestructible qi!

With two divine abilities in hand, transforming into seals of divine ability, when these seals of divine ability transform into an indestructible heart, then perhaps the divine path can be achieved!

You were very conservative, not daring to guarantee that you could fully walk this path.

This might be a wrong path!

You had no confidence that someone would clear the way for you and accumulate experience before you opened up the Divine Ability Realm.

But you had no time to wait; you could only follow this path to the end!

Perhaps to accumulate experience for those who came after!

You had to continuously integrate heaven and earth origin qi and continuously open up Sword Dao divine abilities!

You were anxious!

You no longer had the same sense of rhythm as before!

You even regretted refining the innate Geng Metal heaven and earth origin qi into an Emperor Weapon!

You knew your mindset was somewhat off, but this sense of mission, carrying the weight of a world, as time drew closer and closer, made it impossible for you to calm down completely!

You left Divine Sword Manor and traveled the world. The world submitted to you, holding you in immense reverence.

But this was not what you wanted!

You found Li Daoyi, your close friend.

You told him about the anxiety in your heart.

He looked at you, at you, the Sword Ancestor in the eyes of the world, the foremost person in the Xuanwu today, and he laughed freely and said with unparalleled ease: "Fellow Daoist! In the myriad floating worlds, the Great Dao is infinite. Come with me... and listen to the dragon's roar!"

Li Daoyi suddenly stood up, achieving Heaven-Human Realm, his Heaven-Human Domain rising to the sky. The Great Dao spread, transforming endlessly. Then, the domain transformed into a dragon of heaven and earth origin qi, lifting him up to the sky, sacrificing to heaven and earth, transforming into a divine ability, obtaining heaven and earth origin qi. He was about to become the second Martial Emperor to sacrifice to heaven and earth!

Divine Ability: One Transforms into Myriad! Achieving the Great Freedom Boundless Dao Heaven Realm!

"Since Fellow Daoist is worried, I shall stand with Fellow Daoist to support the heavens!

Since we are fellow Daoists, we should walk together! Let it come!" Li Daoyi at this moment even showed a hint of domineering aura. Your mood indeed brightened considerably.

Having one true friend is enough!

You and Li Daoyi sat and discussed the Dao, and also deliberated countermeasures for the great calamity. You informed him about the Demon Ancestor Realm!

And frankly stated that your anxiety was because the Demon Ancestor Realm might have cultivators with realms and strength higher than the Martial Emperor Realm.

Li Daoyi's expression became solemn, and he began to strategize for you.

Finally, he even frankly stated that if the Xuanwu reached a dead end and could not resist the Demon Ancestor Realm's invasion, they would simply sink the realm and perish with it!

He even decided that it was very necessary to set up detonation arrays in various parts of the world, using a few wisps of heaven and earth origin qi as the ultimate trigger. If things became irreversible, they would perish with heaven and earth!

You were shocked by his idea!

Are you Daoists really that unyielding?

You agreed!

You gave him a few wisps of heaven and earth origin qi, allowing him to do as he pleased!

Of course, at the same time, you did not give up on strengthening your own side's combat power. Formations, Emperor Weapons, military martial arts, Fortune, faith... all things that could establish the most top-tier combat power had to be prepared!

At ninety years old, you summoned all experts above the Heaven-Human Realm in the world to gather at Cangshan Academy in the Great Xuan capital.

This place was visited again.

You proposed two five-year plans. In the first five years, pioneers would lead followers, striving to break through to as many Divine Ability Realm experts as possible!

Within the first five years, those who could not sacrifice to heaven and earth to become a divine ability user must integrate naturally occurring heaven and earth origin qi to become a divine ability user, preparing for the great calamity of heaven and earth!

The second five-year plan: within ten years, establish nine great legions, conduct military exercises and martial arrays. The minimum goal was for each legion to become a Divine Ability-level combat force!

Establish the Bureau of Astronomy to have eyes and ears throughout the Xuanwu!

Establish the Bureau of Works, the Emperor Medicine Pavilion... to forge as many Emperor Weapons as possible, create brand new miraculous elixirs and medicines...
