To fundamentally solve the problem, reliance on Spirit Veins is essential.

Fortunately, the twenty Spirit Veins today can basically meet the cultivation needs of Great Xia’s cultivators for the coming decades.

Whether it’s using Spirit Stones to assist cultivation, setting up Arrays, or Artifact Refining, it’s already sufficient.

According to experts’ predictions, after this revival of Spiritual Energy, the number of cultivators in Great Xia will double in the coming decades.

At the same time, the revival of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy has also subtly altered Great Xia’s Celestial Dao, making the Dao Rhyme between heaven and earth more abundant, significantly reducing the difficulty for cultivators to break through to the Nascent Soul and Divinity Transformation stages. This was something Lin Chen had not anticipated before.

The revival of Spiritual Energy is a rare opportunity in a millennium, but for Great Xia’s cultivators to undergo a qualitative change in a short time to compete with the Cultivation Realm remains an almost insurmountable task.

Lin Chen’s primary goal remains to enhance his cultivation strength. After entering the Integration stage, his maneuverability in the Cultivation Realm will greatly increase.

At this moment, there are still three days until he returns to the Celestial Ruins of Jiang Country.

And on this day, Lin Chen received a cultivation plan drafted specifically for him by the expert group of Great Xia.

Ordinary Integration stage cultivators have a lifespan of over ten thousand years, but as life extends, the advancement in cultivation becomes increasingly difficult.

From the early Integration stage to Integration Perfection, even a person with exceptional talent might spend thousands of years to achieve it.

Even though Lin Chen possesses the Devouring Spirit Root and has always cultivated with Spirit Realm Jade Dew, breaking through to Integration Perfection still requires an ongoing commitment of time.

Improving cultivation in the short term is extremely challenging, and there’s only fifteen years left before leaving the Jiang Country Celestial Ruins.

Once he leaves the Jiang Country Celestial Ruins, Lin Chen will face an immensely complex situation.

Due to the uniqueness of the Jiang Country Celestial Ruins, Lin Chen spent thirty-nine years within, while only a year passed in the outside world.

However, the cultivators dispatched by the Ten Thousand Laws Tao Palace were mostly annihilated by Lin Chen, and with the computational capabilities of the Ten Thousand Laws Celestial Mirror, they might have already glimpsed the reasons behind it.

The Ten Thousand Laws Tao Ancestor is adept in the Dao of Cause and Effect. If he sets his eyes on Lin Chen, it will be hard for Lin Chen to protect himself.

Therefore, after leaving the Jiang Country Celestial Ruins, Lin Chen plans to quickly leave Yunzhou and return to the Lower Realm to continue his cultivation.

Among the five continents in the Lower Realm, Qing State is where he is most familiar, making it his obvious first choice. However, the situation in Qing State is also extremely complicated, especially since the Demon Path has occupied most of the territory. Given the strength of Qing State’s cultivators, it’s extremely difficult to counter the Demon Path. Even though both Qing State’s cultivators and common people have learned the Martial Path, it remains difficult to compete with the Demon Path in just a few decades.

Although Lin Chen is an Integration stage cultivator and can kill the Lord of the Nether Realm—namely, Demon Monarch Huiyue—with a thought, this might prompt a larger-scale investigation from the Spirit Realm.

And Lin Chen’s identity can’t withstand scrutiny; once targeted by those from the Spirit Realm, whether the Blue Star behind him or the Time Law he masterfully controls, it may lead to endless pursuit.

However, the affairs of Qing State cannot be left unresolved; Lin Chen must leverage external forces to revolutionize the Demon Path. While using Qing State cultivators to counter the Demon Path is feasible, the time required is excessively long.

Hence, Lin Chen plans to achieve this goal in a simpler way—by bringing power from Blue Star.

Lin Chen has the ability to traverse both the Cultivation Realm and Blue Star but cannot take living beings with him, as determined earlier.

However, in the Jiang Country Celestial Ruins, Lin Chen gathered the final Black Jade Gourd of the Profound Celestial Treasure Gourd, completing the entire Profound Celestial Treasure Gourd.

According to the Artifact Spirit of the Profound Celestial Treasure Gourd, it can merge the Profound Celestial Small World into his own Dantian. And since the Profound Celestial Small World can hold living beings, Lin Chen wants to attempt taking people from Blue Star to the Cultivation Realm through the Profound Celestial Small World.

If successful, Lin Chen would essentially have the whole Blue Star as his most solid backing. He could quickly gather thousands or more Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators to counter the Demon Path in Qing State.

However, to do so, Lin Chen must refine the Profound Celestial Small World.

It was previously mentioned that refining the Profound Celestial Small World requires achieving the Integration stage and possessing Power of Domain. Lin Chen now fulfills these requirements.

But he has yet to comprehend the Spatial Domain. Although his short years of cultivation have significantly advanced his grasp of the Dao of Space, there is still a gap between him and a Minor Achievement in Space Law, let alone forming a Spatial Domain.

Thus, in his ensuing cultivation, besides advancing his Martial Arts and Immortal Cultivation, Lin Chen must focus more on studying the Spatial Domain.

Once he successfully merges the Profound Celestial Small World into himself, it will greatly facilitate Lin Chen’s actions thereafter.

Meanwhile, the entire Blue Star is also starting preparations for this.

If the cultivators and martial artists from Blue Star can be taken to the Cultivation Realm, the situation in Qing State would change. And the situations of the five continents are closely tied to the Spirit Realm’s fortunes.

The entire Spirit Realm is like a greedy tree, constantly drawing nourishment from the five continents.

What Lin Chen must do is sever the connection between the land and the roots, preventing the Spirit Realm’s cultivators from continuing to grow.

This is a long-term plan that can also hinder the Ten Thousand Laws Tao Palace’s erosion of the five continents.

...

Three days later, Lin Chen smoothly returned to the Cultivation Realm.

Jiang Country Celestial Ruins, within the Blessed Land Cave Mansion.

Lin Chen’s heart stirred slightly, and over a hundred drops of Spirit Realm Jade Dew hovered in front of him. He slightly opened his mouth, and the Spirit Realm Jade Dew was swallowed into his stomach.

Immediately after, Lin Chen activated the Evergreen Technique.

After six two-hour periods and twelve Grand Circulations, the Spiritual Energy contained in the hundred drops of Spirit Realm Jade Dew was absorbed in full, becoming part of his cultivation strength.

This is Lin Chen’s daily cultivation and cannot be neglected.

Afterward, he began his Martial Path cultivation.

Reaching the Martial Saint Realm, the improvement in Qi and Blood Value brought by Martial Arts Breathing Technique becomes like a drop in the ocean, with hardly any significant changes.

What Lin Chen now needs more is the help of Treasures of Heaven and Earth to enhance Qi and Blood Value.

The enhancement in the Blood Refining Realm is a process of accumulating Qi and Blood Value.

Currently, Lin Chen’s Qi and Blood Value is about three billion, at Minor Achievement in the Blood Refining Realm.

To achieve Blood Refining Realm Perfection, a ten billion Qi and Blood Value is needed.

The gap in between cannot be bridged in just a few years.

Regarding the Martial Arts Sixth Realm—Qi Refining Realm.

This realm is very similar to Integration stage cultivators’ mastery of Domains.

According to Lin Chen’s deduction, he can completely substitute Martial Arts Sixth Realm cultivation with the mastery of Domains.

As long as Lin Chen cultivates any Domain to the Realm of Perfection, he would be equivalent to achieving Martial Saint Sixth Realm Perfection.

Once reaching Martial Saint Perfection, Lin Chen can then push towards the final Martial God Realm.

This is a realm that the Human Race has not reached for thousands of years, not even Yue Saint has touched it.

Only the "Long" from thousands of years ago has ever reached this realm.

According to Lin Chen’s deduction, once reaching the Martial God Realm, his physical strength could rival Mahayana stage cultivators.

By then, leveraging Integration stage cultivation, if Lin Chen encounters an ordinary Mahayana cultivator among the five continents, he could claim to hold his ground.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen felt a slight sigh internally.

Over a hundred years of cultivation transformed him from a tiny Qi Cultivation Cultivator to his current realm.

Throughout the Cultivation Realm, including the Spirit Realm, even Mahayana stage cultivators are among the top combat powers, numbering only a few dozen.

The probability of encountering a Mahayana cultivator among the five continents is probably as low as winning the lottery. Thus, Lin Chen need not worry too much.

After several more two-hour periods, Lin Chen completed his Body Refining Realm cultivation.

By then, the sky was gradually brightening. With a slight stir in his heart, Lin Chen’s figure vanished from his original spot, reappearing in the Profound Celestial Small World.

The Profound Celestial Small World is the internal space of the Profound Celestial Treasure Gourd, containing rich Power of Space.

With the help of the Artifact Spirit, Lin Chen began comprehending the Space Laws.

Lin Chen was seen slightly closing his eyes, with the Space Dao Rhyme around him continually flowing. He immersed himself in heaven and earth, continuously comprehending the surrounding Space Laws, quickly transforming it into his own Power of Law...

Meanwhile, in the Blessed Land, Jiang Liqian looked towards Lin Chen’s direction.

A flash of doubt crossed her eyes: "Strange, why can’t I sense Senior Brother Lin’s presence?"
