Chapter 389: Chapter 363: The Population Issue - Encouraging Childbirth

"Of course, with my intervention, you are indeed assured that when you are granted the Dao talisman, your roots will remain intact. However, you will need to be careful when invoking it afterwards and only use it as a last resort. Otherwise, pollution is only a matter of time,"

Wang Zijia glanced at the three of them and asked, "Which of you two will grant the Dao talisman first? Or will you wait until there is a suitable Dao talisman to speak? Or simply be more ambitious and put faith in their own talent?"

Upon hearing this, the scrawny old monk, Hui Feiyang, silently heaved a sigh of relief.

Fu Wenrui and Li Lexin glanced at each other. After a moment of hesitation, Li Lexin spoke out in the middle of the hall:

"Junior sister Fu, the second Dao talisman made by the ancestor is based on gold, I am water whilst you are fire element. This Dao talisman will only harm and not benefit you, why not let your senior brother go first?"

Fu Wenrui looked at Li Lexin, standing her ground: "Senior brother Li, the ancestor has already assured us that the granting of the Dao talisman will not affect our roots. You still bring up these things to argue..."

"True, but after junior sister is granted the Dao talisman, can you guarantee that you will never use Dao talisman again? If you do, it will affect you, what if this affects the quality of your Rune Seed after this, it would be a great loss!" Li Lexin argued.

"..."

This matter is related to their future path and even life and death. After all, once Wang Zijia ascended, the two of them could no longer breakthrough the barrier and would stop at the stage of Sacrificial Wine for all their lives.

With the Dao talisman, a person could disregard their roots and achieve perfection as a true person, paying the price of fixing their cultivation, and then live another two or three hundred years.

Therefore, neither of them wanted to back down, and they began to argue. Even in front of Wang Zijia, they spared no effort.

After watching the two of them argue for a while, Wang Zijia gestured impatiently:

"Forget it, I’ll make the Dao talisman. You guys will decide how it will be distributed. These things will need to have rules that you will eventually need to create. It’s better to figure them out earlier."

Hearing this, Li Lexin sighed quietly.

The reason he argued so shamelessly, risking his face and reputation, was because he knew the character of the ancestors. He was aiming for this outcome.

However, Fu Wenrui unconsciously frowned, glanced at Li Lexin, and also looked at the Great Elder Mo Yunzi, who was completely at ease and seemed to be uninvolved.

"We, the disciples, understand!" Hui Feiyang, who already had a result, was the most relaxed and the first to respond.

Only then did Fu Wenrui and Li Lexin consecutively saluted towards Wang Zijia.

"Alright, let’s end the discussion here for today!" After discussing several matters with the group, Wang Zijia made the final wrap up. "Go ahead and carry out the things we’ve settled on!"

"We comply with the Ancestor’s Decree!" x4!

The four of them, including Mo Yunzi, all turned and left.

After leaving the great hall, instead of looking for Mo Yunzi, Li Lexin got in touch with Hui Feiyang first.

He knew years ago he couldn’t compare, and so he switched tracks in advance, and now although the Zhenmo Sect still has the three vice-head teachers, Li Lexin has essentially become major steward, with a good network of connections and handling most of the affairs.

Fu Wenrui, who is usually not considered cold, can only maintain ordinary social interactions, can’t compare to Li Lexin at all.

Thus, she felt somewhat helpless about this outcome.

From Li Lexin’s undisguised contention in the hall, disregarding his own face and the view of the ancestors, to deliberately prolonging the argument, she actually knew that Senior Brother Li has already won.

Although unwilling, she had to admit it.

Fortunately, there is still the demon sovereign, it’s not like there are no opportunities, even if she truly fails in the end, she can still look towards the 5000 sacrificial wine Dao talisman jade disc. Who knows, maybe she can cultivate one that advances?

"..."

After the four people left, Wang Zijia thought for a moment and then shook his head with a smile.

He knew about the little intrigues between the group but did not want to interfere.

A sect that wants to last needs both harmony and conflict.

As long as it doesn’t cross the red line, Wang Zijia won’t intervene.

He will eventually have to return, and the Zhenmo Sect needs to have a complete functioning system that can operate healthily even after he leaves.

Even now, Wang Zijia is considering when to return.

The power in this world is too low, and waiting for the world to recover, with Wang Zijia following behind to increase his cultivation, wastes too much time.

This is also the reason why he brought up the two Demon Pills so early.

He wanted to cultivate the third Boundary Suppressing True Person as soon as possible, get the preparations done first, and then decide when to go back!

"..."

Thinking about this, he got up and left the great hall.

He went to the cultivation room in Xianlin Courtyard, entered the underground palace from the entrance, and started his daily extraction of demon’s pollution.

The Five Ghosts and the Swallowing Void Toad, Da Chou, were thrown out by Wang Zijia, and they began to compete for the cleaning.

Ever since Da Chou became a true person, the Five Ghosts felt increasingly threatened and did their best even when competing for food.

Da Chou is the name that Wang Zijia gives to the Swallowing Void Toad. It is vivid and descriptive, mainly because this guy is too ugly!

Even though it’s a toad, what’s inside the bumps on its body is not something like poison or pus, but serpent-shaped tentacles!

Completely oblivious to its own ugliness, it exposes all sorts of tentacles whenever it’s happy.

"Value +60,000!"

Dao Cultivation: 300 years (899,000/1,000,000)

After a while, Wang Zijia had finished clearing the corpses that had accumulated over the past month and left the cultivation room.

"..."

"Greetings to the Ancestor!" said the disciple guarding the entrance to the Forbidden Area.

Wang Zijia nodded slightly in response, and as he waved his hand to open the entrance, he realized that the power of the area’s barrier had somewhat increased unknowingly since the last time.

Although it was still very easy for him, he thought... it was time to create a specific entrance!

He gazed at the barrier in front of him, which possessed spatial properties, contemplating how to establish a permanent access point.

Spatial techniques were currently Wang Zijia’s weak point. To be precise, hardly anyone had mastered this path before reaching the God Monarch level.

The scope of Tao Law was heavily limited, making it difficult to master the Space Path. Generally, only those at the Chapter level of Tao Law and above, who had specialized in this direction, were able to put their abilities into practice effectively.

"Never mind, don’t aim too high. Take a piece of the Door of the Two Realms and refine it a bit. Don’t aim to make something like a Space Gate."

"Just refine it into a scalable ring and embed it in this spatial barrier. In this way, I can create a door indirectly by shrinking or expanding the ring!"

"Given the high-quality materials from the Door of the Two Realms, they should easily meet the current requirements for opening the door!"

Standing at the entrance, Wang Zijia pondered for a long while before finally deciding on a plan for the door.

As for whether it was worth it to damage the impressive Door of the Two Realms to make such a shoddy door...

The Door of Two Realms was already in such a state, what hope was there left for it?

By the time he was actually capable of repairing it, the disparity between more or less damage wouldn’t matter to him.

He waved his hand to open the entrance and stepped inside.

However, after only a few steps, Wang Zijia came back and stared blankly at the energy barrier.

Due to various fortuitous circumstances, this spatial barrier was now considered a part of this world’s space, right?

So, can I consider this thing a part of this world’s boundary?

It’s just a weaker barrier within the world, right?

That is to say, this thing should be connected to the Heavenly Dao, right?

So...

Wang Zijia’s eyes flashed with intense spiritual light. He placed his hand on the barrier, and a Demon Seeding spirit light tossed by Wang Zijia entered the barrier, disappearing without a trace.

"Hmm? Could it really work?"

Wang Zijia was stunned for a moment before being overcome with joy. He placed both his hands on the barrier, and his mana transformed into countless Demon Seeding spiritual lights, surging forth.

It seemed as if he was planning to flood the space barrier with Demon Seeding particles.

"What the hell!"

After expending all his mana, Wang Zijia had sprayed who knows how many billions of Demon Seeding particles, but had yielded no results as if all his effort had been swallowed by the sea.

Neither the distinct feeling of success nor the feeling of inability to seed demons was felt, leaving him speechless.

Disbelieving, Wang Zijia consumed a Replenishing Qi Pill and continued his endeavour.

Even after repeating this process three or four times, consuming an unknown amount of mana with no feedback, Wang Zijia looked at the barrier, his gaze flickering. He was silent for a long while before finally shaking his head in disappointment and heading towards the Door of the Two Realms.

No matter if it could be successful or not, at least for now, at his current level of cultivation, it seemed impossible!

After all, incidents like the Heavenly Dao being tainted by Sinners were rare, so one could only imagine the difficulty of him polluting the Heavenly Dao with Demon Seeding!

...

Since the Forbidden Area had already been thoroughly cleaned, Wang Zijia had moved the location for preaching and teaching to the peak of the Immortal Artifact. The Forbidden Area had now become the treasury of the Demon Suppression Sect, so it was a lot quieter than before.

This area’s anomaly of time passage and spatial differences made it very suitable for storing treasures and retirement.

And so, it was being used in exactly this way.

When Wang Zijia arrived at the center of the Forbidden Area, he could see the huge Door of the Two Realms standing like a star ring from afar.

The ancient and grand ring had many antenna-like structures inside it, all emanating strands of white spatial energy, converging towards the center.

The intertwining lines formed a vast silver-white net. In some places where these lines overlapped, they formed larger or smaller silver spatial screens.

Despite being severely damaged, it still gave off a very shocking feeling.

Just by looking at this object alone, one could see how powerful and prosperous the Qinglian Sword Sect used to be back in the day. At the very least, it was probably an order of magnitude stronger than today’s Wanyu.

While looking at it, Wang Zijia reflexively threw out a few human skin paper figures. They passed through the silver spatial screen of the light spots, ultimately disappearing without a trace as usual.

He had spent almost two years in the Lower Realm researching this device.

However, because it was too high-grade, Wang Zijia had never found a clue.

He didn’t dare to risk his life trying to transport himself through those silver light-spot-like spatial portals. As for the human skin paper figures he had thrown inside, they had all ended up without any response, and so the research had eventually come to a halt.

Of course, the research wasn’t entirely in vain. At the very least, he knew that when he clawed off those materials, there wouldn’t be a spiritual energy explosion or anything of the sort!

He carefully scraped off two pieces from the ring and strenuously took off two ’antennas’ from the inner ring which were no longer releasing energy. The waste material seemed sufficient.

After taking the materials, Wang Zijia looked up at the unchanged Door of Two Realms once again and murmured, "One day, I will either repair you or make my own to travel through different realms!"

After uttering these words, he no longer paid attention to the Door of Two Realms and turned to leave.
