Chapter 676 Containment Universe
Starting from the 44,000th year of the Eight Desolate Calendar, the Heavenly Court entered a long period of peace and prosperity. Especially after the Emperor and Empress went into seclusion and power was in the hands of Ji Shuanghua and Mei Xianren, the Heavenly Court ushered in peaceful and stable development, and the previous immortal officials also began to perform their duties and serve the Heavenly Court.
The Guanglong Universe Sequence, Tianzun Universe Sequence, Yueshan Universe Sequence, and Huantian Universe Sequence are all guarded by Daluo Taoist soldiers, and there are fleets of warships deployed around the universe sequences, building a very perfect defense system. In addition, King Yama has also opened up reincarnation underworlds in these universe sequences.
This also greatly enhanced the power of the Samsara Underworld. Many meritorious Yin Gods were promoted to perform their duties, and the strength of a large number of Yin Gods increased. With the opening up of the Samsara Underworld, these Yin Gods also gained unimaginable benefits. After all, these cosmic sequences did not have reincarnation, so they opened up the law of reincarnation, although it was under the web of heaven.
With the web of heaven above and the underworld of reincarnation below, plus the fairy cities on the planets, the control of the heaven over these cosmic sequences has reached an incredible level. Many situations are summarized through Skynet, and governance and management are not difficult, especially since Skynet has the blessing of digital life, even office work has become intelligent.
The five major expeditionary forces also returned one after another, and even the two armies in the east and west returned to the Heavenly Palace. The Heavenly Palace announced that the expedition plan was suspended and summarized that it had achieved very perfect results. Under the chairmanship of Mei Xianren and Ji Shuanghua, the merits began to be verified, a large amount of resources were distributed, and many immortals made a lot of progress.
There are many true immortals who improve their cultivation, and celestial immortals who overcome the five decays of celestial beings. When celestial immortals reach perfection, they gain a large amount of merit, which can be exchanged for innate qi. This was unimaginable before the expedition of heaven. At that time, a lot of merit was needed to obtain a ray of innate qi, and the immortals needed to accumulate it through hard work.
But now, to many immortals, these merits are nothing, especially the heavenly soldiers and generals in the expeditionary force, so this time the Heavenly Court has suffered a heavy loss, and the consumption of innate energy is especially high. Not only is it consumed by the Heavenly Court itself, but it is also used to purchase the universe, and the amount consumed is not small.
Despite this, no one thinks that there will be a lack of innate qi. Everyone already knows that innate qi is a specialty of the Eight Desolate Universe. It is a world product of Emperor Zun, the Lord of the Universe. It can be continuously refined. It just takes time.
This is indeed the case. The innate qi is nothing to the Eight Desolate Universe. With the fall of the Heavenly Dao Net, many universes surrendered, and a large amount of cosmic origins flowed into the Eight Desolate Universe. The Emperor noticed this when he was in seclusion, and instinctively assisted the Eight Desolate Universe in refining it, and then attracted more innate qi.
You Wanli relies on his innate energy to keep buying things. In the Jinming Saint Universe, he is an absolute top wealthy customer. All forces welcome You Wanli, and many forces have also reached cooperative relations with the Wangyue Tower established by You Wanli, and built a large business network.
In this way, the consumption of innate qi brought about good results, and also made the Heavenly Court rich and powerful. Many resources could be continuously distributed. Even if the concentration of vital energy in the Eight Desolate Universe was not high, it still allowed the immortals to make rapid progress. This was the progress that came from the accumulation of resources, and it was also the motivation for everyone's practice.
Without mentioning other things, at least the Heavenly Court is not short of star stones now. You Wanli bought quite a few in the Saint Universe. The Dragon Clan and the Chi Ming Dao Palace are also trading with the Heavenly Court. Before the Emperor and Empress went into seclusion, they asked to complete the goal of storing star stones. Currently, the two Heavenly Concubines are continuously purchasing according to the orders of the Emperor and Empress.
As time goes by, the Taiyi Golden Immortals in the Heavenly Court all hold high positions, and all major departments are in charge of Taiyi Golden Immortals. This not only reflects that strength is respected, but also because Taiyi Golden Immortals are smarter than Golden Immortals. This intelligence is reflected in the primordial spirit and immortal thoughts, and is also reflected in the level of life.
Even if one does not want to enter the Heavenly Court to be an immortal official, one will still have his name on the immortal register and be listed as an emperor. The middle-level immortal official is the Golden Immortal. There are a lot of Golden Immortals, which is not uncommon, and the competition is very fierce. Currently, all immortals stop at the Golden Immortal level. Those who want to break through to Taiyi, at least since Zhao Hao, basically have no chance.
After 44,456 years of the Eight Desolate Calendar, the Emperor and Empress achieved a breakthrough to the level of Daluo Golden Immortal.
When the breakthrough occurred, the phenomenon was astonishing, and the Thirty-Six Heavens were shaken. Even the Eight Desolate Heavens were affected to some extent, and it also caused panic among some immortals in other universes. This kind of phenomenon that affected the Thirty-Six Heavens had never happened before. Apart from the Emperor, the Empress was the first person to do so.
Not only that, many immortals in the Heavenly Palace saw the appearance of a female emperor in a phoenix robe above the Jade Emperor's Palace. This kind of human-shaped phenomenon, at least in the Heavenly Palace, was the first time it appeared, and it was very surprising. Everyone realized that after the emperor and empress broke through, their strength was further improved, and they were probably strong among the Daluo Golden Immortals.
The phenomenon lasted for thirty-six years. When it ended, the concentration of vital energy in the Heavenly Palace increased, and some changes appeared in the innate ancient money tree. However, these changes were very subtle and could not be detected unless one was a Daluo Jinxian. Not only that, a wind of vital energy began to blow down from the Jade Emperor's Palace to the thirty-six heavens.
There was a chorus of congratulations on the Internet.
It is really great that the Emperor and Empress could break through to the Daluo Golden Immortal. Although the Emperor and Empress had great majesty and were the final word in the past, they were only at the Taiyi realm after all. Their strength could not convince others and they had to rely on the power of the Emperor. But now that they have broken through to become Daluo Golden Immortals, even if the Emperor is in seclusion, the Emperor and Empress can still control the Heavenly Court and everyone will submit to them.
"Congratulations." Ji Shuanghua completed the handover smoothly and congratulated with envy.
"You are not far away," the Emperor and Empress said with a calm smile, "The luck of the Heavenly Concubine comes after the Emperor and Empress. Since I have achieved a breakthrough, my luck will naturally bless you."
"I hope so!" Ji Shuanghua said calmly.
She has been expanding the academy during this time, and all major cosmic sequences are frantically building academies. All immortals who meet the requirements must join the academy for further study. This has indeed brought very good feedback to Ji Shuanghua, at least allowing her to successfully sense the bottleneck of breakthrough.
It is not the right time yet. Ji Shuanghua deeply understands that only when people in the academy make breakthroughs one after another can she get the final feedback and help her break through to the Daluo Jinxian. The most important thing at the moment is the continued expansion of the academy and the issue of educating more students.
Compared to Ji Shuanghua, as a former senior sister, Mei Xianren had a much more complicated mood. She never thought that Su Qinghuang would become a Daluo Jinxian one day. When was it so easy to prove the Daluo Dao? But only after becoming a Tianfei did she understand how much blessing the Heavenly Court had given them and how smooth their breakthroughs were.
The emperor and empress returned to their thrones, and heaven returned to the period of the emperor and empress's rule.
Su Qinghuang sat in her seat and looked at the Heavenly Concubines, "When I was breaking through, I sensed the Emperor. I'm afraid there will be big moves next."
"What big move?" asked Immortal Master Mo Hen.
"The Eight Desolate Universe will reclaim the Heavenly Dao Net," the Empress said, "The Heavenly Dao Net will stimulate the power of origin, envelop the entire universe, and then be swallowed by the Eight Desolate Universe. In other words, all the surrendered universes will fill the Eight Desolate Universe and become a cosmic domain."
"Is this still possible?"
"How is that possible?"
“This is incredible!”
"That's the universe!"
All the celestial concubines were amazed and expressed disbelief.
The Eight Desolate Universe could actually devour the universe and turn it into a cosmic domain? Could this be the power of the Lord of the Universe? The Heavenly Concubines were overwhelmed with emotion and could not help themselves.
"This is the result of the Emperor's retreat," the Empress said with a smile, "We can start with a smaller universe, such as the Golden Immortal Universe."
"How to do it?" Ji Shuanghua asked.
"The Heavenly Dao clone will take action. What we can do is to transfer the immortals of that universe as soon as possible," the Empress said. "The news will be announced as soon as possible. We must act as soon as possible. Every time we successfully devour a universe, the Eight Desolate Universe will be upgraded."
The girls were excited and nodded one after another.
This was a big deal, and an opportunity that defied heaven. The Emperor was the master of the universe, and as the Eight Desolate Universe grew stronger, the Emperor would become stronger. The Emperor was a Daluo Golden Immortal, and to continue to grow stronger was to move towards becoming a saint. As the Emperor grew stronger, they, the Heavenly Concubines, would naturally become stronger as well. Not to mention the Emperor's supreme and mysterious double-resting technique, just the blessing of the Eight Desolate Universe on them was rare.
Once the Eight Desolations Universe becomes stronger, they will undoubtedly be able to continue to improve!
After learning this rare good news from the emperor and empress, the women took action under the command of the emperor and empress. They immediately chose a universe below the Golden Immortal level, that is, a planetary world. The incarnation of the Heavenly Dao in the Eight Desolate Universe directly collected the Heavenly Dao Net with a thought.
The Heavenly Dao Net of the changed world directly manifested a network, enveloping the entire world, turning into a stream of light that shuttled through the void and entered the Eight Desolate Universe, and turned into stars, fell into the galaxy, and directly merged into the Eight Desolate Universe.
Skynet broadcast this scene live, causing an excited reaction among the immortals.
Everyone knows that the Eight Desolate Universe is very powerful. After all, it is close to the Saint Universe. But no one thought that the Eight Desolate Universe could actually be integrated into other universes. Every immortal knows what this means. Everyone suddenly realized that the Emperor developed the Heavenly Dao Net for a purpose.
Starting from the collection of the first world in the 44,492nd year of the Eight Desolations Calendar, the incarnations of Heaven began to collect the universe one after another.
After 44,500 years in the Eight Desolations, the incarnation of Heavenly Dao collected the first Golden Immortal-level universe. After this universe entered the Eight Desolations universe, it directly transformed into a galaxy and appeared in the depths of the Eight Desolations universe without any effort. Ten years later, it collected the second Golden Immortal-level universe.
The more universes that are collected and integrated into the Eight Desolate Universe, the stronger the Heavenly Dao clone will be, and the stronger the Eight Desolate Universe will be. In this regard, all the emperor and empress can do is to migrate the immortals or mortals of the universe through Skynet in advance. No one knows whether the Heavenly Dao clone's collection of universes will have any impact on them.
At the beginning of the 44,600th year of the Eight Desolate Calendar, when the Heavenly Dao clone took over the fifth Golden Immortal-level universe, the Emperor and Empress no longer needed to relocate the immortals and mortals, because the Heavenly Dao clone had already adapted. It was nothing more than a matter of utilizing more of the original power. The Heavenly Dao Net could definitely do better.
So when the fifth Golden Immortal-level universe merged into the Eight Desolate Universe, the immortals experienced it well. That feeling was more like the world being upgraded. Except for a little shaking and vibration at the moment of entering the Eight Desolate Universe, there was no other feeling, not at all.
This was due to the fact that Tiandao Luowang called upon the original power of the universe, which also led to an increase in the consumption of the original power. After being integrated into the Eight Desolate Universe, there were immediately some different manifestations. Specifically, the concentration of vitality in the universe decreased and the resources of some planets were exhausted.
But everything is worth it, because every universe that merges into the Eight Desolate Universe has a primordial qi, or more primordial qi nourishes the universe. The reduction in the concentration of vital energy is only temporary, and the depletion of resources is also temporary. The Eight Desolate Universe has enough confidence to make the universe better.
In this way, the incarnation of Heaven began the action of absorbing universes. At the beginning, it took ten or twenty years to do it once, but later he became more and more skilled. A Golden Immortal universe was absorbed once every five years. In five hundred years, five hundred Golden Immortal universes would be absorbed into the Eight Desolate Universe, and these universes absorbed into the Eight Desolate Universe all turned into galaxies.
A Golden Immortal Universe has at least three galaxies, and five hundred Golden Immortal Universes have at least one thousand five hundred galaxies. This makes the Eight Desolate Universe even more vast, fills a large amount of space, and also allows the Eight Desolate Universe to expand secretly and become more and more powerful.
Based on the feedback from the Heavenly Dao's clone, the Emperor and Empress determined that accommodating the universe would make the Eight Desolate Universe stronger, so they no longer restricted the Heavenly Dao's clone. All Golden Immortal-level universes that were caught in the Heavenly Dao's web were taken in. By the 45,200th year of the Eight Desolate Calendar, the Heavenly Dao's clone could take in one Golden Immortal universe a year.
The governor of the Golden Immortal Universe was very happy. He originally thought that after being exiled to the Golden Immortal Universe, he would have to stay there for many years before returning to the Eight Desolate Universe. He did not expect that the Golden Immortal Universe would be swallowed up by the Eight Desolate Universe. He returned to the Eight Desolate Universe in disguise and became the governor of the Eight Desolate Universe.
I don't know how many Golden Immortal envoys were laughing in secret, feeling very happy. The Eight Desolate Universe has two extremely convincing characteristics. One is that even saints cannot discover it, and the other is that it is extremely safe. There are all kinds of dangers in the universe, and one must even guard against enemies coming to the door, such as foreign demons and cosmic bandits.
But in the Eight Desolate Universe, there is no need to worry about it at all. Under the web of Heaven, people live very comfortably.
Because of this, many town envoys and star gods hope that the Eight Desolate Universe can accommodate the universe they guard, and the Heavenly Dao clone does not let them down. As the number of times it accommodates Golden Immortal-level universes increases, the Heavenly Dao clone becomes more familiar with the route, and the intervals between them become shorter and shorter.
Heaven, Jade Emperor Palace.
The Immortal Venerable Hongluan and the Immortal Venerable Mohen stood beside the Emperor and Empress, looking at the suspended celestial mirror. What was revealed in the mirror was the contained Golden Immortal-level universe. After entering the Eight Desolate Universe, they were like water drops falling into the sea, without any ripples. But in fact, they just didn't show it because they were all obscured by the web of Heaven.
"The Heavenly Dao Net is more like a clone. Every time a clone is collected, the Heavenly Dao clone becomes stronger," the Empress explained. "As the Heavenly Dao clone becomes stronger, the Eight Desolate Universe becomes stronger. You are not mistaken in your perception. The Eight Desolate Universe is still getting bigger and expanding. In fact, we can try to contain the Taiyi Universe now."
"If we take in the Taiyi Universe, I'm afraid it will cause a tide of vitality, right?" said Hongluan Immortal Venerable, "It will cause a series of changes at that time."
"Indeed," the Empress nodded, "So the Heavenly Dao clone will transform these contained Golden Immortal Universes into a star field."
