Chapter 679: 580

"I don’t want to take risks either, but the immortal venerate’s ascension promise is the Immortal World’s ten years!"

"The secret realm is only three to four years, but the outside world has been four hundred years. It is heard that the Immortal World is even longer than the secret realm. Can our Qinglian World endure this situation?"

Jiang Siyi also fell silent for a while, this was also the reason why he supported his senior brother’s madness.

It’s not that he thought the saint masters were more foolish than they were, blind to some things, it’s just that he knew that some things required taking risks.

This is where he and his senior brother differ from the older generation.

They were born in the Dark Ages, longing for stability, while the two of them were born in peace, richer in struggle and risk.

"Hmm, has someone asked the Immortal Venerate’s Heavenly Dao to open the world’s Judgment once again?" After a moment of silence, Zong Bixue suddenly paused said.

Jiang Siyi was also startled, looking up at the main peak, where a strong spiritual light suddenly burst from the Divine Image Main Body; he shook his head and said, "This doesn’t look like the movement of Judgment!"

The two looked at each other and quickly flew out of the courtyard.

This huge movement directly alerted all the cultivators in the Holy Land. Countless cultivators either looked up at the sky or flew straight up, looking at the main peak.

The perfected ones of the Time Forbidden Zone were all alarmed and swarmed out.

Not only here, but the whole Qinglian world, all the Divine Image statues burst out with strong Spiritual light, constantly trembling and flashing.

It seemed to be exerting force, pulling something!

Under the bewildered expressions of everyone, the Spiritual Light burst for about ten breaths and suddenly fell silent, as if nothing had happened.

People looked at each other, not understanding why.

"Um, what’s going on in the sky?"

Suddenly, someone looked up at the sky and asked.

At this moment, it was almost noon, but at some unknown time, the sky began to fill with colorful clouds, like a sunset, rapidly converging towards the Demon Suppression Holy Land.

The entire Demon Suppression Holy Land was shrouded.

Strange phantom flowers also bloomed in the void around the statue.

Purple divine light fell from the center of the clouds, like divine light falling from the sky, covering the statue.

"Clouds of auspicious clouds, purple air coming from the east, flowers falling from the sky, the ground gushing golden lotus, this... this is the legendary scene when the Immortal Venerate descended in ancient times?"

"Has the Divine Image Heavenly Dao become an Immortal Tool?"

"It’s not... the Immortal Venerate has not descended, has he?"

Under such an apparition, some rejoiced, and some were stunned.

Such apparition lasted for half a moment, and everyone also quietly waited for half a moment.

Suddenly, a figure abruptly emerged from the top of the statue.

Carrying divine light, his face was peerless, holding a blood-red book in his hand, he looked lightly at the crowd.

With his appearance, the apparitional movements in the sky became even more exaggerated, as if the whole world was cheering for him.

Not only did everyone see this scene, but countless people in the entire Qinglian World saw it through the partial image of the statue.

Without explanation, everyone intuitively knew: the Immortal Venerate, who had ascended for over four hundred years, had returned to the lower realm.

Because the appearance of the Immortal Venerate had not changed the slightest, only his black hair had turned silver, and his temperament was even more like an immortal.

"We welcome the return of the Master!"

The first to respond were a few old monsters who came out of the Holy Land Time Secret Realm.

As the old monsters moved, the crowd finally came to their senses and paid their respects all at once.

"We welcome the return of the Immortal Venerate!"

"We welcome the senior!"

"..."

And the mortals in other parts of the world, after seeing the image projected by the partial statues, also knelt and prayed together.

At this moment, Wang Zijia clearly felt the powerful incense power, layer by layer, gathering towards the main statue.

The statue, which was already at its maximum progress and storage limit for incense, directly transformed all the incense, including the stored incense, into a mysterious mist, invading towards Wang Zijia.

"Value +67.85 million!"

Dao cultivation: 1000 years (360 million / 500 million)

Taiji: 9.92 million

The thick mysterious mist surged from the ground, Wang Zijia exchanged the surge for a large amount of cultivation in the midst of the turbulent waves.

It lasted for a quarter of an hour, mainly because it came in one breath. Wang Zijia wouldn’t be able to bear it and mutate on the spot.

It was strangely quiet all around.

After a while, Wang Zijia looked around at everyone, then looked up at the sky again.

Luckily, even though the mysterious mist had appeared, the Heavenly Dao did not go crazy again, striking him with several lightning strikes. Instead, it gave the Great Cultivator the proper treatment for descending to the lower realm.

Hmm, perhaps because he was crossing the tribulation in this world and achieving the status of a Perfected Being, the welcome ceremony was quite solemn.

After a moment of silence, Wang Zijia looked at the Saint Masters in front of him and began, "You all have done well. I never expected that Qinglian could develop to such an extent that it caused a brief stagnation of the spiritual energy revival in a small world."

"This disciple dares not take credit, it’s all thanks to the governing immortal canon you left behind," Li Lexin immediately replied.

"I left only some notes that are difficult even to comprehend, not to mention implementing. The prosperity of the Qinglian world is largely thanks to your considerable efforts. After ascending, you will certainly be rewarded," Wang Zijia lavishly praised and promised.

After all, what he left behind weren’t systematic texts transitioning from the feudal world to the intelligent era, but merely some casual notes. They mainly set forth a few concepts, lacking specifics on how to implement those ideas.

"Alright, let’s not make such a big fuss. I came down to this lower realm this time because the spiritual energy in the Qinglian World grew tense and revival ceased. I had no choice but to capture another world earlier."

"Thank you for your generous love and graciousness, Immortal Venerate. We, the cultivators of Qinglian, will never forget,"

"We’ll certainly remember."

"······"

The lower-ranking disciples were puzzled for a while, but the higher-ups heaved a sigh of relief. The past few years they had been watching with anxiety as the spiritual energy showed signs of declining again.

······

Supernatural Arrival year 421, the Qinglian world had developed too rapidly due to the unchecked growth of monks, interrupting the spiritual mechanism of the world.

The spiritual energy that had just revived hundreds of years ago fell into exhaustion once again.

The coming of the End of Law seemed inevitable.

In this situation, the Immortal Venerate of the Immortal World sensed something and once again broke through the realm using his great mana.

Bringing with him thousands of rosy clouds and an east-coming purple aura, he once again saved the world.

The unparalleled grace bestowed by the Immortal Venerate will be remembered eternally by the cultivators of Qinglian.

······

In the Demon Suppression Holy Land, on Demon Suppression Peak, inside the Demon Suppression Hall.

Wang Zijia sat alone on the jade throne at the core of the great hall. Ling Yanlan, just like a hundred years ago, transformed into a pheasant-sized fire bird, coiled up at Wang Zijia’s feet, napping.

Li Lexin and several other Saint Masters, Pulse Owners, Deans, and several hundred true-level core management figures, together with some true-level disciples, were all standing in the lower part of the Hall.

"Since you left, Immortal Venerate, I have started..."

At this moment, Li Lexin was summarizing the events of these years.

Although he was already familiar with them due to the information gathered by his five thousand human skin avatars and the intelligence of the Divine Image, Wang Zijia listened quietly.

"Has the monetary system reached the spirit base?" After a moment, Wang Zijia heard something interesting and said so.

The spirit base is the issuance of paper money similar to banknotes by the Holy Land. However, each piece of currency must correspond to a piece of magic money. Monks can use this issued currency for trading, or they can be exchanged for magic money at the bank at any time.

This is similar to the gold standard era of the nineteenth century in the previous life. In layman’s terms, it means you no longer need to carry magic money around, and you can directly use checks or bankbooks for transactions!

Upon hearing this, the crowd paused slightly during the briefing, and all their gazes shifted towards the very front of the Academy Faction.

Among them, the most knowledgeable ones were Zong Bixue and Jiang Siyi, especially Jiang Siyi, who was the one who completed and shaped the entire virtual age.

He respectfully said, "In response to Immortal Venerate, we actually could have taken a further step into the credit era, issuing banknotes and even starting the virtual currency era backed by the credit of the Holy Land, and making magic money a luxury item."

"But considering that we are destined to dock with the Immortal World of Wanyu in the future, entering the Credit era will make magic money a treasure for the disciples of the Immortal World who will descend to the Lower Realm, and that would have a profound impact on the Cultivation World, so we simply stayed within the Spirit Base system."

"However, due to the exhaustion of spiritual power and the difficulty in producing magic money, we have created a Gold and Silver Standard under the Spirit Base, using mundane money as the basis to greatly increase the value of magic money to achieve the goal of resource redistribution."

Wang Zijia nodded. He might not understand these things thoroughly, but he could tell at a glance by the results.

"Start to readjust. All the values that are inflated based on the spiritual energy should be readjusted. Qinglian does not need spiritual energy allocation or planning."

"Hmm, you probably have a year’s time. If you haven’t finished adjusting by that time and reconnected with the sect, you will be sheared by the lower-ranking disciples of the sect!"

Wang Zijia said so.

The bright minds among the management officials artificially elevated the purchasing power of magic money, promoted it as high-level currency, and thereby reached the goal of limiting, planning, and distributing the cultivation resources.

This was a very good and almost invisible market method.

But once it gets connected with the Upper Realm and allows the Sect Servants to directly enter, it would become problematic.

With one magic money buying one unit of labor in the sect, it could buy ten units here.

It was like a developed country’s currency value disparity with a poor country in the previous life.

This so-called currency exchange could make the Qinglian Realm prosperous in the future, but it would be at the expense of the lowest layer of labor.

As to which is better and which is worse, Wang Zijia had no idea.

But having experienced the complications from the previous life and the developed countries taking advantage of the situation, the currency disparity, one dollar could be exchanged for ten dollars and such, was a speechless difference in credit and national power.

Wang Zijia instinctively rejected the scenario of gaining advantages through complications.

He was not majoring in currency-related systems, nor does he know the pros and cons. Therefore, it’s better to avoid this from the very beginning.

Anyway, the Qinglian Realm also did not need to surpass others through shortcuts, it only needed him to provide vitality to the Jade talisman pulse. Even the Sect in the Upper Realm could have rapid development. There would be no need to reshape the financial system, it’s better to just keep using magic money!

"We understand, and will definitely complete the adjustment to fully prepare for the docking work with the Immortal World," Jiang Siyi immediately responded.
