Chapter 700: 563, the biggest spendthrift in the Three Realms

Jiang Chen paid no mind to the gratitude of the creatures, he was still perfecting his plan.

The baptism of flesh for the living beings of Xiniuhe Continent was only the first step. Next, he intended to promote higher quality seeds in Xiniuhe Continent to multiply its food production.

In this way, once there was enough food, the living beings of Xiniuhe Continent would not go hungry.

Where would the high-quality seeds come from?

That’s too easy, if there are no high-quality seeds now, wouldn’t there be in the future?

An Innate Dao Sovereign can roam the River of Time and Space, directly take a look into the future, and bring back some superior seeds from the future. How difficult could it be?

Jiang Chen just needs to take a peek into the future to solve the seed problem.

However, the River of Time and Space is still too dangerous, Jiang Chen has always been cautious, and unless necessary, he would definitely not risk entering the River of Time and Space.

Moreover, there are countless futures and trying to find the future he desires among them is troublesome and extremely time-consuming.

What Jiang Chen is most lacking now is time.

So, Jiang Chen thought of a faster method, he decided to freeload by getting some high-quality seeds from the Jiang Family.

The Flame Emperor made a fortune by farming. Therefore, the Jiang Family had exceptional achievements in the agriculture aspect.

In the barren lands of the Jiang family, there was a large piece of farmland for growing various types of food.

When Jiang Chen was young, he inadvertently mentioned the knowledge of hybridization from future generations, which drew the attention of the high-levels of the Jiang family.

Since then, many elites of the Jiang family have been working diligently in the fields to research and verify the knowledge. Of course, what they were researching was not how to increase food production, but how to cultivate stronger food.

In simple terms, it is how to cultivate normal food to be comparable to spiritual medicine, even to the level of innate spiritual medicine.

That’s outrageous!

Although increasing food production was not the research goal of the Jiang family elites, hundreds of years have passed, and they should have researched many excellent species, among which there should be ones that meet Jiang Chen’s requirements.

After sending an incarnation to the Jiang family, Jiang Chen released all his incarnations within his body, letting them turn into scholars and physicians, setting up schools and medical centers in Xiniuhe Continent to enlighten the wisdom of all beings and teach them medical skills.

To help them start using their own wisdom to overcome diseases and be free of the suffering of diseases.

Apart from this, Jiang Chen was also encouraging the practicing Buddhist disciples to leave the temples and travel around.

If they encounter injustice, they should help.

If they see someone who is in trouble, they should try to help.

Heal the sick with their magical powers if they are sick, and teach them living skills if they have no way to survive...

In short, Jiang Chen couldn’t allow any creature to suffer at this moment.

Since they have entered Buddhism, they should be prepared to sacrifice themselves for the creatures. Fearless of life and death for the creatures. Buddhist disciples should take the responsibility of saving the world and helping people.

What is practicing merit?

Sacrificing oneself for the creatures, that’s practicing merit.

How is chanting scriptures in the temple considered a merit?

Chanting scriptures until death will not save the creatures, nor will it allow one to become a Buddha.

...

Buddhist disciples were busy, Jiang Chen’s incarnations were busy, and the real body of Jiang Chen was even busier.

He was using his Divine Ability to modify the Earth Vein of Xiniuhe Continent, linking it with the spiritual Mountain Ancestral Vein, so that the innate spiritual energy on the Spiritual Mountain could replenish Xiniuhe Continent.

In order to provide the creatures of Xiniuhe Continent with a good cultivation environment, Jiang Chen was trying hard, shaking the foundation of the Spiritual Mountain.

Before, the Spiritual Mountain was the place where the spiritual energy was the strongest in the entire Xiniuhe Continent. All of the Earth Vein’s energy in Xiniuhe Continent was gathering here, making the Spiritual Mountain the only revered place in the west.

But now, everything was reversed under Jiang Chen’s modification. The Spiritual Mountain no longer absorbs the surrounding Earth Vein’s energy but instead replenishes it to the other Earth Veins.

This led to the innate spiritual energy on the Spiritual Mountain becoming gradually diluted, while the spiritual energy in Xiniuhe Continent was gradually becoming rich.

A single Spiritual Mountain could provide for the whole Xiniuhe Continent, this was no joke.

Bear in mind, the Spiritual Mountain was originally known as Sumeru Mountain, the first divine mountain in the west where its ancestral vein could draw in the chaotic primordial energy from the outer chaos. The spiritual energy it produced was also innate.

While outside the Spiritual Mountain, in the Xiniuhe Continent, the energy flowing was acquired. Turning all the innate spiritual energy on the Spiritual Mountain into acquired energy multiplies the amount many times over, easily supporting the entire Xiniuhe Continent.

And with a richer spiritual energy, cultivation will be easier and reaching a high realm will be much easier.

But having more spiritual energy alone was not enough. To make the living beings of Xiniuhe Continent live more happily, countless opportunities had to be prepared.

For this purpose, Jiang Chen specifically opened the treasure house of the Spiritual Mountain and used all the treasures accumulated by the Buddhist domain over countless years.

Jiang Chen carelessly crushed the innate spiritual herbs laboriously collected by the Buddhist followers, absorbing their original essence into the Xiniuhe Continent, resulting in the birth of countless spiritual herbs among the perilous mountains and ridges.

In addition, the innate divine water collected by the Buddhists was all sprinkled by Jiang Chen into the major bodies of water in Xiniuhe Continent, transforming the mundane water into spiritual water.

The innate divine gold was infused into the numerous veins, enriching the mineral resources of Xiniuhe Continent.

The treasures within the Buddhist treasury were all utilized by Jiang Chen. Even the useless ones weren’t wasted, but refined by the Thunder Pool into clusters of innate Qi. These clusters were constantly integrated and transformed into streams of Buddha’s essence for storage.

These would be taken out sixty years later to share with all living beings.

He’s indifferent about selling his grandfather’s farmland.

Jiang Chen didn’t mind using these, after all, they weren’t his own possessions.

The treasury, which has been used by the Buddhists from the beginning, contained countless treasures and could be regarded as part of their foundation. The treasures inside had the power to revive the declining Buddhist faction.

But in a matter of days, Jiang Chen used up all the treasures, leaving nothing.

Of course, Jiang Chen pilfered no treasure from the Buddhist treasury. Instead, he used it all to improve the environment of Xiniuhe Continent.

Now, the environment of the Xiniuhe Continent had a hint of the aura of the Ancient Era, comparable to the distant ancient times.

Jiang Chen boldly used resources to create a prosperous age of cultivation for the creatures of Xiniuhe Continent.

The major influences of the Three Realms were alarmed by Jiang Chen’s actions. They couldn’t help looking over and upon witnessing everything Jiang Chen had done, they couldn’t help exclaming, "A spendthrift!"

They were genuinely shocked by Jiang Chen. They had seen people squandering fortunes, but never to this extent.

Fortunately, the Buddha had already died, otherwise he might have fought Jiang Chen to death upon witnessing this scene.

The fortunes that the Buddhists had accumulated with difficulty were completely squandered by Jiang Chen.

It wasn’t that Jiang Chen’s use of resources to improve the environment was not good, but rather that his actions were ultimately in vain!

While the results seem good at present, they are only temporary. With the passage of time and the exhaustion of resources, the cultivation environment in Xiniuhe Continent will gradually decline day by day.

In the end, although the cultivation environment of Xiniuhe Continent will be better than at the beginning, it will fall far short of the present day.

The fact that Jiang Chen can only change a moment and not a lifetime, undoubtedly appears somewhat foolish, having wasted so many resources.

If these resources were adopted to train disciples instead of improving the environment, who knows how many experts could have been cultivated.

Jiang Chen’s actions are really a bit of a loss, even for a good reputation, he shouldn’t go to such extremes.

Now Jiang Chen has earned a good reputation, but when the creatures of Xiniuhe Continent realize that their cultivation environment is deteriorating day after day, will he be able to maintain his good reputation? They will surely curse him.

Wait, this is not correct, hold on!

Upon considering this, the great powers seemed to suddenly understand something.

Jiang Chen’s strategy is brilliant indeed, truly worthy of his wise and astute reputation.

As superior beings, they could predict that within four hundred years, there will inevitably be a conflict between Jiang Chen, Buddha, and others. They consequently didn’t have high hopes for Jiang Chen, believing that his defeat was certain.

But now, after Jiang Chen creates such a scenario, the deterioration of the cultivation environment in Xiniuhe Continent later will have nothing to do with him, and all will be considered the fault of Buddha and others.

These higher powers are in awe of Jiang Chen’s brilliant move. Before leaving, he is preparing to lay a huge trap for Buddha and others!

After Jiang Chen leaves, the cultivation environment of Xiniuhe Continent will deteriorate day by day. What will the creatures of this place think?

Will they miss Jiang Chen, and consider how Xiniuhe Continent would be if he were still there?

The more they miss Jiang Chen, the more dissatisfied they will be with the current environment, leading to dissatisfaction with Buddha. This is the beginning of chaos!

With that in mind, when Jiang Chen is powerful enough in the future, he merely needs to make a call in Xiniuhe Continent, and endless responders will assist him in overthrowing Buddha’s rule and regaining his supreme throne.

Incredible!

The more the crowd thought about it, the more they admired Jiang Chen’s wisdom. It was indeed rare for someone to match the intelligence of the person who single-handedly destroyed the Spiritual Mountain.

As expected by everyone, Jiang Chen’s move was indeed to set a trap for Buddha and others. If he loses in the calamity ahead, this matter will turn into a big mess and fall into Buddha’s hands, giving him a terrible headache.

If Jiang Chen wins, he will have the Gods collectively create the Buddha Domain, using its power to transform the chaotic Qi from beyond the sky into the chaos of Xiniuhe Continent, and continue to maintain the false prosperous cultivation period until it becomes real.

The Gods can do this, but the Buddhists cannot.

The Gods don’t need to cultivate, but the Buddhists do. To have them transform the chaotic Qi will undoubtedly delay their cultivation. Short-term is fine, but long-term would be unbearable for anyone.

But the Gods don’t care. Their power comes from the faith of all beings. As long as the faith of the creatures isn’t lost, they can continue being strong.

Jiang Chen had really calculated everything!

ps: Haha, six thousand words!
