Chapter 1495: 996 Divine City_2

As long as the Innate Spiritual Energy is pervasive throughout Heaven and Earth, even a pig could cultivate into a fairy, let alone a human.

Therefore, as long as the Spiritual Energy of the Nine States continues to recover, even if Jiang Chen does nothing and does not teach the common people to cultivate, they are in such a favorable environment that every breath they take contains the pure Innate Spiritual Energy, and they would naturally become cultivators, thereby achieving the project of universal cultivation.

Food is paramount for the people!

With good food and drink, it’s hard not to become immortal.

...

"Your Majesty, we roughly understand what you mean by Divine Cities, but we do not know how to build them. Please instruct us!"

The people only pondered for a while before they got the idea of building Divine Cities, which indeed was a wonderful thing; however, the problem was that they didn’t know how to build them!

The term Divine City was something they heard for the first time, and constructing one was like groping in the dark, with no clue where to start.

"Of course I know you wouldn’t know how to build them. I’ve already prepared the blueprints for the Divine Cities for you, and even marked out the exact locations of where to build them. You just need to follow the records on the blueprints to construct qualified Divine Cities."

Jiang Chen took out a large stack of blueprints and distributed them.

Over ten thousand Gods, each with one blueprint in hand, and none were shortchanged. Divine Cities ranged from large to small, with Gods of different levels constructing entirely different Divine Cities.

The weakest of the Divine Cities were only comparable to that of an ordinary immortal deity, while the most superior ones could even suppress Innate Dao Sovereigns, and even Quasi-Saints.

Simply put, the so-called Divine Cities were the result of Jiang Chen modifying Divine Artifacts.

The way of Divine Artifacts created by Jiang Chen was very powerful, and it could strengthen oneself at the expense of Heaven and Earth. With sufficient resources, one could achieve a very high realm in the shortest time.

It can be said that the way of Divine Artifacts was somewhat too strong. It was for this reason, being disliked by the Heavenly Dao, Jiang Chen couldn’t pass down this path and had to let it gather dust.

The future of the Divine Dao lies in Chaos, in the Prehistoric World. Passing down the way of Divine Artifacts would mean courting death by the Heavenly Dao.

However, though he couldn’t pass it on, he couldn’t waste its true meaning. Jiang Chen took the Divine Dao and with some modifications, created the method for refining Divine Cities.

The difference between Divine Cities and Divine Artifacts is that the power of Divine Artifacts comes from the world within, while the power of Divine Cities utilizes the Earth Vein and essence of mountains and rivers of the world.

One plunders everything, while the other borrows the power of Heaven and Earth for oneself. Although a lot has been lost in its subtlety, it is more readily accepted by the Heavenly Dao.

"These blueprints are the embodiment of my hard work. You must be especially careful in constructing the Divine Cities, not even the slightest error can be tolerated."

"Divine Cities correspond to the stars above, the Earth Vein below, and correspond to the Divine Court in the middle. The position of each city is meticulously calculated; together they form a supreme formation, capable of encompassing vast regions of the Nine States Continent, blocking parts of Great Divine Transcendents’ influence."

"If there’s even the slightest deviation in constructing the Divine Cities, it could cause the formation to be flawed, thereby affecting the entire Nine States Continent."

"So, you must be especially cautious. If the Divine City is well-built, it’s a great achievement; if not, step down and let others take your place."

Jiang Chen lowered his head and swept his gaze over the Gods who were looking at the blueprints, and said slowly. Building Divine Cities was extremely important for him, as it was a part of his plans.

A single Divine City had limited use and could not exert much power. But if tens of thousands of Divine Cities were constructed, together forming a formation, the power that would be accumulated and unleashed would undoubtedly be astounding, and it could even surpass King Yu’s Nine States barrier.

This was Jiang Chen’s main purpose for creating the Divine Cities.

Originally, this task should have been done by Jiang Chen himself, but after some thought, he decided not to. First of all, he could not do everything himself; if he did everything, then what were others for?

Secondly, there was an even more important task for Jiang Chen up ahead. The Great Shang treasure vault was about to emerge.

This was one of the extremely important treasure vaults for the Human Race, with treasures inside valued even higher than those of the First Emperor’s vaults, which even many Great Divine Transcendents would covet.

Similarly, the Great Shang treasure vault was extremely important to Jiang Chen; he absolutely would not allow it to fall into the hands of others.

It should be known that the so-called Great Shang treasure vault, while named a vault, was in fact a world, a top-tier Great Thousand World.

Let’s not speak of other things, but this Great Thousand Worlds alone holds tremendous value. Every one million years, it could give rise to an Innate Dao Sovereign.

Not to mention, the national treasure of Great Shang, the Tongtian Jian Mu. The value of this top-grade Innate Spirit Root is truly difficult to define. It might not be comparable to an Innate Treasure, but it is most certainly no weaker than a top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Beyond this, the Human Race’s divine artifact that was used to forge and kill the Mystic Sect’s heavenly emperor is also within Great Shang’s treasure vault. This is indeed a top-ranking emperor-slaying weapon in Between Heaven and Earth, just the title of an Emperor-Slaying Artifact endows it with remarkable might.

To monopolize Great Shang’s treasure vault, it goes without saying, will definitely be a tough battle. The great divine transcendents of the Mystic Sect will certainly not sit idly by while the treasure vault falls into Jiang Chen’s hands.

Not to mention anything else, the Mystic Sect will definitely want to snatch back the treasure that was used to forge and kill their heavenly emperor.

At the same time, those great divine transcendents also would not want to miss this opportunity and will surely act to test Jiang Chen’s current state, to see whether it’s good or bad.

The next focus for Jiang Chen will be on how to seize the Great Shang treasure vault. At the same time, it also serves to draw the attention of the Mystic Sect.

As long as the Mystic Sect focuses all their attention on him, that would make it much easier for his subordinates to construct the Divine City.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, we will definitely complete the task seriously and ensure there are no deviations."

Seeing Jiang Chen speak so gravely, the gods assured with serious expressions.

"Mhm, I am at ease with your work, and you will surely not disappoint me. It’s just that this matter is extremely important, so I must remind you time and again."

"Moreover, we must construct the Divine City quickly. The faster your pace, the sooner the common people can move in."

"Of course, while speed is important, we cannot have issues with quality..."

"Forget it, the pace can be slower, but the quality must not be compromised no matter what."

Jiang Chen subconsciously wanted to demand both speed and quality, but after careful thought, he chose not to say more. To desire both beauty and speed, it would be nice to just focus and do one well.

We can hold high expectations for our subordinates, but not exceed their capabilities.

Both speed and quality, desire everything, that’s asking for the impossible!

"Go!"

With a wave of his hand, Jiang Chen dismissed everyone.

Constructing the Divine City is no difficult task; the location and materials have all been prepared by him. As long as everyone follows the blueprints in construction, if they can’t even do that, Jiang Chen feels it’s time to replace them.

Refining the Divine City’s materials is rather simple, primarily utilizing the willpower from incense offerings, supplemented by the Heavenly Earth’s Aura, and combined with various kinds of innate spiritual materials.

To tell the truth, Jiang Chen is not short of wealth now. The fortune looted from the ancestors of myriad clans last time is enough to build the Divine City. Even if it’s not enough, the Human Race’s treasure vault still has countless resources.

...

"Yes!"

The gods nodded and responded with a ’yes’, then they all departed. The locations for the Divine City were all arduously deduced by Jiang Chen, each site was unique, and the gods needed to go to these respective places.

After everyone had left, Jiang Chen, who was sitting on his divine throne, suddenly looked up toward the area outside the Nine States.

There, in that deep void, a vast world was approaching the Nine States at a speed beyond imagination.

And this vast world was the Great Shang treasure vault.

Up until now, Jiang Chen continued to marvel at how the Ancient Shang Dynasty, at its peak, managed to turn a top-tier Great Thousand Worlds into a treasure vault. It was a feat many great divine transcendents could not achieve.

"In three months at most, or as little as one, the Great Thousand Worlds where the Great Shang treasure vault is located will join with the Three Realms."

Withdrawing his gaze, Jiang Chen roughly calculated the days until the appearance of the Great Shang treasure vault, which would be within the next two to three months.
