#501 - The sound of life in the forbidden zone

Jun Wuxie selected a location and released the Little World Tree.

The Little World Tree landed, its roots quickly breaking through the bluestone and taking root in the soil.

The three-zhang-tall Little World Tree rapidly grew larger, eventually becoming a hundred-meter-tall tree before stopping.

"Young man, thank you."

A weak voice came from the Little World Tree, like a girl in her early twenties, very young, very gentle, but with a deep sense of fatigue.

"Oh, you can talk?"

Jun Wuxie wasn't surprised.

The Little World Tree, a divine tree supporting the origin of a single universe, how could it not have developed its own sentience?

Such an existence was probably born with sentience.

"Before, I was too weak and had to fall into a deep sleep, using my obsession to continuously purify the power of darkness over long years. Now that you have solved the problem of those beings tainted by darkness, you have saved me from danger, and I can finally breathe properly and absorb the origin energy of heaven and earth..."

The Little World Tree's voice was very gentle, making Jun Wuxie feel that if she were to transform into human form, she would be a very gentle woman.

"Little World Tree, you have merged with the dragon vein, possessing the characteristics of the dragon vein. Coupled with your own abilities, you should be able to turn this area into spiritual land, right? I want to know, how large an area can the spiritual land cover?"

"What you speak of is not difficult for me. Even in my current weakened state, I can instantly transform a thousand-mile radius into spiritual land, and within a month, it can become a blessed land."

"Instantly?"

Jun Wuxie looked at the Little World Tree with shock on his face.

He really didn't expect the Little World Tree's ability to be so... monstrous!

"That's great, I thought I would have to wait many years!"

Jun Wuxie was really surprised. If this place became a blessed land, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth would be abundant, and it would also contain traces of the world's origin, not ordinary spiritual energy.

At that time, the physique of everyone living in this area would be greatly improved, and perhaps many talented people would emerge.

Because some so-called ordinary people are not really unsuitable for cultivation, but because the ancient blood in their bodies is dormant and cannot be awakened. Even they themselves do not know that they possess ancient blood.

Such people have been very ordinary since childhood, without cultivation conditions, and can only remain ordinary forever.

Ordinary people will naturally not attract the attention of high-level martial artists, and their potential will not be discovered.

Of course, perhaps some lucky ones will have their potential discovered, but that is, after all, a minority.

"Do you only need me to cover this city?"

The Little World Tree asked gently.

"Yes, however big the city is, you should cover that much area. When the city is expanded in the future, you will expand the coverage area accordingly."

Jun Wuxie had already planned in his heart that covering the entire Great Zhou would definitely be unwise.

He had the idea of expanding the city in the future, building a city with a radius of thousands of miles, and moving all the people of Great Zhou into this city, dividing areas within the city, reclaiming fertile land, and planting spiritual seeds!

In that case, the era of national cultivation would officially begin!

"Wuxie, this is?"

The environment within the city had undergone tremendous changes, and spiritual energy suddenly overflowed from the earth, alarming the Xuanyuan clan.

"Little World Tree!"

The Great Elder Xuanyuan's eyes shone brightly, his face filled with shock.

Their clan's ancient books had records, and they had even drawn a picture of the Little World Tree.

Those were the notes of their ancestor, the Great Emperor, and they naturally deeply believed in the records on them, so they quickly called out the name of the Little World Tree.

"That's right, this is the Little World Tree, so there is no longer a need for the dragon vein."

Jun Wuxie nodded, then looked at the Great Elder Xuanyuan and said, "When will your clansmen arrive?"

"Most of the clansmen have already come and are now setting up a new clan land, but the clan leader and others are still in the clan, trying to persuade some elders who are unwilling to leave the mountains."

"Your Xuanyuan clan is really stubborn..."

Jun Wuxie was a little speechless. Xuanyuan the Great's weapon was guarding here, and some elders of the Xuanyuan clan were still stubbornly unwilling to come out?

The Great Elder smiled bitterly, then said, "I believe the clan leader will eventually persuade them. There is something I want to ask you. If this Great Zhou is upgraded to a dynasty, will you need to change the name of the country? Also, Ji Liufeng is not suitable to be the emperor anymore. In a cultivation dynasty, the emperor's strength represents the dynasty's position in the eyes of the world!"

"Great Elder, do you have a suitable candidate in mind?"

Jun Wuxie thought of Ji Beilan, but whether Ji Beilan was suitable to be the emperor now was also a problem.

And... for Ji Beilan, perhaps there were more important things than being the emperor.

"The person in our hearts, of course, is you the most suitable. It was you who proposed upgrading to a dynasty, you have done all the preparations in between, you have solved all the difficulties, no one is more suitable than you. Furthermore, with your strength and reputation, you are the only choice!"

Jun Wuxie was silent.

He was not someone who wanted to be in charge of things.

Moreover, he was always running around the world, and most of the time he was not here. How could he handle state affairs? If he really became the emperor, it would be too irresponsible.

"I know what you are thinking."

The Great Elder Xuanyuan seemed to have already seen through Jun Wuxie's thoughts and said, "You don't want to be bound by the affairs of the dynasty, it's very simple, you be the emperor, and then let Yan Qingcheng assist in handling the affairs of the dynasty..."

"No!"

Jun Wuxie refused on the spot without even thinking, and said, "That will delay her cultivation! If that's the case, I can let Lingfei, who is by my side, take care of state affairs, and choose a few strategists to assist."

"What about Ji Yinlan?"

The Great Elder Xuanyuan said.

"Yinlan?"

Jun Wuxie was stunned for a moment, and said, "Yinlan is cultivating, letting her manage the dynasty will also delay her!"

"It won't delay her, you don't understand her, her cultivation is not the same as ordinary people, she doesn't need to run around for resources. She only needs to fight against herself from time to time to constantly break through her own limits and break through realms."

"What?"

Jun Wuxie was taken aback. Yinlan's cultivation method was like this?

How did the Great Elder Xuanyuan know?

"Every peerless talent has their own unique differences."

The Great Elder Xuanyuan smiled and said, "Her master is an old friend of our Xuanyuan clan, a very powerful female half-saint."

"I didn't expect you to be old friends with her master?"

Jun Wuxie thought for a while and said, "Then you have to persuade her master to agree to let her come back. However, whether Yinlan wants to manage state affairs still needs to be discussed in the long term. I must determine whether it will really delay her cultivation before I can make a decision!"

Just as the Great Elder Xuanyuan was about to speak, rumbling sounds suddenly rang out from all directions, and the earth of the entire city was shaking slightly.

He and Jun Wuxie were shocked and flew into the air, and they saw that on the top of the tower in the center of the city, the Xuanyuan Slaying God Sword shook out mysterious runes.

Those runes spread out and continuously submerged into the surrounding city walls.

Those city walls expanded to the surroundings at an extremely fast speed.

One hundred miles, two hundred miles, three hundred miles...

The speed of expansion was too fast, causing the area of the city to increase crazily. The added area included mountains, rivers, and plains.

"This is Lord Divine Sword restoring the former area of the imperial capital..."

The Great Elder was a little dazed. Although he had never seen the imperial capital before the ancient times, he had seen records and descriptions in the family's ancient books.

Jun Wuxie looked at this scene in shock, his heart filled with surprise and joy.

He had originally thought of slowly expanding the area of the city, which was a huge project, and he also needed to find a large number of rune masters to inscribe defensive runes.

But now there was no need. Nothing was more solid than the original city walls, which contained the rune imprints left by Xuanyuan the Great.

The expansion of the city lasted for a full quarter of an hour.

When the city walls stopped expanding, the area of the entire capital had reached more than five thousand miles!

The so-called five thousand miles in radius is actually a radius of two thousand five hundred kilometers, and the area reaches about twenty million square kilometers.

"That's really great, such an area is completely enough!"

Jun Wuxie calculated that the Great Zhou originally had 1.5 billion people, but only less than 700 million were left after the war.

The current capital, let alone 700 million, can accommodate even two or three billion people!

When the time comes, a few city-within-cities will be built, the original capital will be set as the central capital imperial city, and then four city-within-cities, the Eastern Capital, Western Capital, Southern Capital, and Northern Capital, will be built around it, each with complete military, agricultural, educational, industrial, and commercial facilities, to facilitate people's livelihood and order management.

Otherwise, in such a large city, before the people's realms rise, they would have to run their legs off to buy something.

...

Jun Wuxie returned to Sect King Mountain.

The current Sect King Mountain is naturally also located within the city.

When he came back, Yan Qingcheng and Lingfei and others had already exchanged their opinions, and had recorded all their ideas and plans in detail.

Jun Wuxie looked at it, and everything was considered and arranged very carefully, without any omissions.

"We have contacted the owner of the Eastern Wilderness Jubaoxuan, and all the resource lists have been sent over. They are preparing to send them to the capital soon."

Jun Wuxie nodded and told Lingfei that he had the idea of letting her take care of the government in the future.

Lingfei agreed without hesitation.

She had managed a world before, and now it was not difficult for her to manage a dynasty.

"The candidate for the emperor, has the Young Master thought about who to let do it?"

"Wait and see. If Yinlan comes back, I might let her be the emperor."

Yan Qingcheng and Lingfei agreed with this. They didn't want Jun Wuxie to be bound by the dynasty, thus delaying his cultivation.

...

At the same time, the whole world was shaken.

"Immortal Execution Sword Sect? Jun Wuxie wants to create the Immortal Execution Sword Sect?"

"Opening the sect in three days! Isn't Jun Wu Xie afraid that those opponents will come looking for trouble?"

"I heard that Jun Wu Xie's ancestor, the founder of the former Sect King Academy, has been resurrected and has cultivated into a Sword Saint!"

"This news is incredible! I heard that the Sword Saint killed four half-Saints who came to provoke him in a fit of anger. This matter has already spread throughout the world!"

… …

Time quickly passed by two days.

There is only one day left before the opening of the Immortal Execution Sword Sect.

"It's been two days, and no half-Saints have gone to Sect King Mountain for revenge? It seems that the Sword Saint who suddenly appeared on Sect King Mountain is really not simple. Regardless of whether he is the founder of the original Sect King Academy, we must all go to congratulate him on this sect opening. Quickly prepare gifts and head to Great Zhou!"

"Jun Wu Xie's rise is unstoppable. Now that he's opening a sect, we must go to congratulate him and express our goodwill! Someone, prepare gifts!"

… …

Almost all major forces were staging the same scene.

For the past two days, they had no movements, but today, they all started to take action.

… …

The Divine Phoenix Mountain, one of the world's two major life forbidden zones, is located at the intersection of the Eastern Wilderness, Southern Border, and Central Province.

This mountain region is very mysterious, with undulating mountain ranges inside, resembling a phoenix lying prone.

The mountains are not very tall, but they are shrouded in fiery red smoke all year round, making it impossible to see the scene inside.

Standing outside and looking in, one can see that the void inside is distorted.

In front of the Divine Phoenix Mountain forbidden zone, three people wearing golden-red robes faced the forbidden zone, kneeling on the ground.

Two of them were elderly old men, and the one in the middle was a middle-aged man.

All three were half-Saint powerhouses!

"Descendants of the Divine Phoenix Mountain, Gu Qing, the sect master of the Ancient Phoenix Sect, and others request to see the Divine Phoenix Lord of the forbidden zone!"

They knelt respectfully, their foreheads pressed to the ground.

The forbidden zone remained silent.

Gu Qing and the others continued to kneel on the ground, maintaining their posture without moving.

Several hours passed in this way, until sunset.

"What is the matter that you come kneeling and begging?"

A cold voice came from the depths of the Divine Phoenix Mountain.

"Divine Phoenix Lord, Divine Phoenix Lord!"

Gu Qing and the others were immediately excited and looked up at the forbidden zone in unison.

"What exactly is the matter?"

The voice inside was devoid of emotion, extremely cold, with a sharp edge that pierced the soul and a power that shook the heart.

The three of them shuddered and felt a chill run down their spines.

Gu Qing quickly said: "Divine Phoenix Lord, my sect has encountered an extremely terrifying enemy! Some time ago, my sect's seed-level genius was killed and his head was cut off, and then a half-Saint fell…"

"Hmph! Waste, you have disgraced the Ancient Phoenix Divine Blood!"

The voice from the depths of the forbidden zone was somewhat cold and sharp, as if invisible blades pierced through the air.

The three of them immediately felt a chill all over their bodies, quickly prostrated themselves, their foreheads touching the ground, their bodies trembling like sieves.
