402: Paradise

Qin Shilei then discussed the future development strategy with everyone.

In a nutshell, the goal was to elevate the strength of Qin An Royal Mansion, which meant enhancing the individual strength of everyone within Qin An Royal Mansion.

As long as other countries did not provoke Great Xia, Qin An Royal Mansion would not actively invade other countries unless absolutely necessary.

As for the three ancient powerful forces from several millennia ago—the Demonic Sect, the Buddhist Sect, and the Zhengqi Alliance—Qin Shilei would personally make contact and then arrange the next steps.

After a discussion, everyone dispersed, returning to their respective posts, leaving only a few people in the hall.

These were An Qian and the other two women, along with their respective parents.

It was dinner time, and the family joyfully ate their evening meal.

After dinner, Qin Shilei chatted with everyone while refreshing their entries.

First, for An Qian and the other two women, there were no suitable entries, so he could only refresh them later.

Then, he refreshed the entries for his parents-in-law.

Suddenly, an orange light emanated from He Yiyao.

Monster (Orange): This is a monster envied by even the heavens. Cultivation speed increases tenfold, cultivation techniques can be automatically practiced twenty-four hours a day, and the chance of breaking through bottlenecks is greatly increased.

Under a massive accumulation of resources, Qin Shilei's other three parents-in-law had successfully advanced to Platinum One-Star.

However, He Yiyao, his mother-in-law, had little interest in cultivation and was only at Silver Six-Star.

Yet, unexpectedly, her luck remained as good as ever, as she actually rolled an orange entry.

She truly lived up to being the one who gave birth to the 'European Emperor' An Qian.

Qin Shilei first replaced a common entry with the 'Monster' entry.

He Yiyao immediately reacted, "That's strange, why is my cultivation technique running on its own? And right now, I feel like I've drunk Enlightenment Tea; I have such profound insights into cultivation matters."

While An Qian checked on her mother, Qin Shilei had already extracted the 'Monster' entry.

After a slight hesitation, he replaced the 'One-Punch Man' entry with the 'Monster' entry.

Advancing to Platinum, the 'One-Punch Man' entry only increased strength by a little more than double.

Furthermore, the 'One-Punch Man' entry was merely a red entry, lasting only ten seconds, with a cool-down period of up to one day, making it quite unsuitable to keep.

Within three years, foreign races above the Platinum Realm cannot enter Blue Star through Space Rifts, meaning Qin Shilei is almost invincible on Blue Star, so having or not having the 'One-Punch Man' entry actually makes little difference.

However, the 'Monster' entry could allow him to improve his strength faster, so replacing 'One-Punch Man,' which had been with him for several months, did not pain him at all.

"Strange, the cultivation technique stopped running again, and even that feeling of clarity in my mind just now disappeared."

He Yiyao said with a puzzled expression.

"I guess you must have entered a state of enlightenment just now, but unfortunately, you couldn't maintain it."

An Qian said confidently.

Then she turned to Qin Shilei and asked, "Shi Lei, don't you agree?"

Qin Shilei suppressed his laughter and said earnestly, "You're right. Auntie He, you must be a martial arts prodigy who, for various reasons, hasn't been able to unleash your potential. I think if you put more effort into cultivation from now on, you might even make a name for yourself in the near future."

An Qian also persuaded, "Mom, you really should put more thought into cultivation. The higher your cultivation, the better your skin will be, and the longer your lifespan will be."

He Yiyao said somewhat doubtfully, "Really? Then I'll spend two more hours every day absorbing crystals from now on."

Qin Shilei also refreshed and fixed a purple entry on her again.

Diligent Little Bee (Purple): After fixing this entry, the initiative for cultivation becomes stronger, and the effect of cultivation increases by fifty percent.

He then took out the Seed of Space.

[Do you want to refresh entries?]

[Refresh.]

Perennial Spring (Green): The personal space formed after absorption and fusion will have perennial spring inside.

Space Bomb (Red): When this Seed of Space is activated, it can instantly erupt, forming a black hole that sucks in everything within a one-kilometer radius.

Blessed Land (Orange): The personal space after absorption and fusion will slowly absorb spiritual energy from the main world until it becomes a Blessed Land.

Nice!

The upgraded system was indeed powerful; not long after rolling a golden entry, an orange entry appeared again.

An Qian leaned over and carefully examined the Seed of Space, asking curiously, "Shi Lei, what is this? I can't see it clearly at all."

Qin Shilei explained, "It's a Seed of Space rewarded by the system. I'm going to fuse it now and see how big the space is exactly."

An Qian suddenly took out a drop of fiery red blood, "Shi Lei, the system also rewarded me with a drop of Phoenix's essence blood."

Zhang Xiaoli also spoke, "I have one too. Mine is a small sapling of the Myriad Demon Vine."

Kong Qingshu chimed in, "Mine is a Wind Spirit Orb."

Upon asking, they found out that the top ten on the cultivation leaderboard all received rewards.

It was likely the system's way of enhancing the strength of the top survivors on Blue Star.

With a few people helping to guard, Qin Shilei held the Seed of Space and began to try fusing it.

This Seed of Space rewarded by the system seemed tailor-made for Qin Shilei, and fusing it was effortless.

In less than an hour, the Seed of Space was completely integrated into the depths of Qin Shilei's sea of consciousness.

With a thought, Qin Shilei instantly appeared in mid-air within a certain space.

Here, there were mountains, water, trees, flowers, and grass.

It was similar to his small space, just much larger, nearly three hundred li in circumference.

The spiritual energy was also much denser, at least twenty times that of Blue Star.

Qin Shilei also sensed that his Blessed Land was continuously absorbing spiritual energy from the outside world, and it wouldn't be long before the spiritual energy inside would significantly increase again.

The only things missing were animals; the plants were only common ones found on Earth today.

Qin Shilei was like a demigod in this space, able to move mountains and overturn seas at will, though it cost a lot of mental energy.

With a thought, he appeared back in the hall.

"Husband, did you just enter the space you opened?" The three women asked in unison.

Upon hearing this, Qin Shilei's heart filled with joy.

It seemed that when he entered his space just now, his entire body and consciousness entered together.

This way, he had an additional means of self-preservation.

"Ding, entering a secret realm in front of a strong individual proficient in spatial techniques, even with the system's help in concealment, there is a high possibility of exposing the secret realm's spatial coordinates."

The system's prompt immediately popped up.

Qin Shilei asked in his mind, "System, how strong are the strong individuals you're referring to?"

The system showed no reaction.

"Hmm, you all come in and take a look with me too."

With a thought, Qin Shilei brought the three women into his space.

The few of them played around in this future Blessed Land, discussing how to develop this space.

"We need to catch some animals and bring them in to form a complete ecological chain."

"The spiritual energy here is so abundant, we can also transplant mutated corn and other heavenly materials and earthly treasures here."

"We also need to build a big, beautiful house here."

"Husband, what do you think about building a small city here? If we truly encounter an irresistible disaster, we can bring a small portion of people in here for protection."

"Hmm, we can build a small city."

The four exchanged ideas, and soon, the entire secret realm's construction was discussed in an orderly manner.

Then, under the cover of night, they caught many small animals and various types of fish and released them into the secret realm.
