Cultivation Starts from Killing Pigs

Chapter 459: Chapter 373: Divine Dynasty Migration, Opening the Immortal Sect

Quanzhou, Xuling Mountain.

This Spirit Mountain uses the Wu Soil Array as its foundation, with spiritual mist shrouding it, and everything flourishing, making it an important production site for spirit medicine under the Divine Dynasty.

The city built around the mountain relies on spirit medicine processing and refining as its leading industry. Under the rule of the Divine Dynasty, the past chaos is gone, and in just a few years, the city has become prosperous and its population thriving.

Inside a teahouse, it is packed with guests, the sound of applause continuous, and flowers are occasionally thrown towards the stage.

Normally, it didn’t used to be this lively, but today is the day when Quanzhou’s most famous storyteller, Boss Li, ends his season.

This Storyteller Li is not a human.

Yes, literally, he is a rat spirit, who has mixed among humans for a long time, and only after the establishment of the Divine Dynasty did he openly reveal his identity with the "Demon Registry."

As the saying goes, humans have a thousand faces, objects have countless shapes. Not every cultivator is extraordinarily talented, nor does every demon have aspirations of longevity.

Storyteller Li, the rat spirit, grew up listening to storytelling in teahouses and taverns and naturally fell in love with it. After taking human form, he devoted most of his energy to it, gradually becoming famous.

Behind the wooden stage of the teahouse, he sat poised, sometimes animated and other times passionately fervent, and the people below listened with great interest.

"...In the story, Ye Fei, full of courage with his sword, saved everyone alone. Just as he was about to inquire further, suddenly a streak of Divine Light shot up from Divine Radiance City, illuminating everything, dispersing the dark mist completely..."

Bang! The gavel struck.

"To know what happens next, tune in next time."

The audience below shook their heads in disappointment, still wanting more.

The rat spirit, Storyteller Li’s "Divine Dynasty’s Pride," had already become renowned, and was even performed daily on the Divine Path network across the land, attracting countless followers. They were lucky enough to witness it live.

"Boss Li, tell us another story!"

"Boss Li, we’ll listen to your stories even in the Moon Palace!"

Looking at the enthusiastic crowd below, the rat spirit’s eyes warmed slightly, and he bowed deeply: "Thank you all for not minding my faults. I’m deeply grateful, and once I get to the Moon Palace, I’ll tell you a story every evening at the same time."

"Alright, it’s settled then!"

"Safe travels, Boss Li."

"What is this about, I’m not dead yet."

The rat spirit’s joke elicited a wave of laughter.

The guests gradually dispersed, and the staff busied themselves with cleaning the tables. The teahouse owner prepared a banquet to bid farewell to an old friend.

After three rounds of drinks, the owner was slightly tipsy. He looked around at the tables and chairs, shook his head, and sighed: "I’ve run this teahouse for a hundred years. Three generations have made a living from it, greeting guests from all directions daily. I never thought I’d have to leave my family business and homeland..."

"Brother Liu, what are you worried about!"

The rat spirit smiled and comforted him: "Though the world is chaotic, our Divine Dynasty is protected by great fortune. I’m going ahead first; the Moon Palace can’t open a teahouse, but with the Sect Leader’s divine might, it won’t be long before we return to our homeland, and I can continue telling stories here."

"Alright, it’s a deal then!"

The teahouse owner immediately rejoiced.

After the farewell banquet, the rat spirit packed his belongings and exited the city to the plains, and his eyes brightened slightly as he let out a praise.

The plains were already bustling with people, with countless citizens queuing in order under the guidance of the Star Official, according to the neighborhood sequence of the market.

The merit system of the Divine Dynasty had already replaced currency. Though the citizens didn’t need to bring money, and had even exchanged their grains, they still carried bags full of other valuables and tools.

After all, no one knew how long they would stay in the Moon Palace.

Indeed, after the Moon Palace Array was fully established and the crisis of foreign invasion was resolved, the grand migration of the Divine Dynasty had begun.

Though the crowd was vast, what amazed the rat spirit was the massive starship standing suspended on the plains, as vast as a mountain range.

The starship, covered in dragon scales, its enormous reconfigured insect limbs fixed all around, had its distributed core simultaneously activated. Every now and then, it spouted silver flames, steadily floating in the air.

This was initially supposed to be completed two years later due to the shortage of various divine materials. Its enormous size was the main obstacle. But thanks to Zhang Kui’s sale of Yin Yang True Fire, a large amount of divine materials was acquired, and it was completed ahead of schedule.

The Divine Dynasty’s population was vast, and even such a massive starship would require dozens of trips. Thus, a lottery system was adopted for phased migration, and the rat spirit was lucky enough to be in the first group selected.

Buzz!

With a violent roar, the massive starship slowly descended, stirring up a sky full of dust and sand, while voices from various Star Officials echoed around.

"Board by batches, no crowding allowed..."

"Once on board, stay in your designated area, do not wander around at will!"

Huge cabin doors opened, and even Storyteller Li, the rat spirit, was momentarily stunned. As he followed the massive crowd onto the starship, he suppressed his excitement and looked up to observe.

Although the starship’s exterior was menacing and terrifying, inside it was orderly and organized, with shining spirit light on the spacious platforms, divided into small and large cabins, interconnected by pathways.

"Wow!"

The sound of crying children erupted, leading to a mother’s quick consolation.

The platform was empty and devoid of anything, and the common people stood or sat closely crowded together, each one’s face marked with apprehension and uncertainty.

Amidst the deafening roar, the massive starship lifted off into the sky, but instead of heading to the heavens, it flew toward the Northern Border State...

...

Northern Border State, vast and boundless, covered in ice and snow.

During the Qian era, this was a frontier fortress, garrisoned by tens of thousands of elite soldiers against the Ghost Rong Kingdom in the north.

After the establishment of the Divine Dynasty, the Ghost Rong Kingdom was incorporated into it. Still, due to the sharp Spiritual Evil-imbued Chenling Mountain, it remained heavily garrisoned with large numbers of Divine Dynasty troops and Military Cultivators, who trained daily against Spiritual Evil to strengthen their bodies.

At this moment, outside the Divine Land Barrier of the Northern Border State, atop the snowy plain where snowflakes danced, several large light clusters floated in the air, being none other than Immortal Venerables like Yuan Huang.

High above them, Zhang Kui stood in mid-air.

He spread his right hand, and the gigantic Cave Heaven Divine Crystal Array Disc emerged with a roar, sending forth resplendent Immortal Light in all directions, atop which stood several miniaturized Immortal Sects.

Whether it’s for migration or as the future portal for the Celestial Essence Star, the Immortal Sect is of utmost importance, and choosing the location must be done meticulously.

Kunlun Mountain will undoubtedly become the center in the future. Although it is convenient for entry and exit, it also poses the risk of being attacked by foreign enemies, so Zhang Kui chose the location here.

With Formless Heaven destroyed and communication between various Immortal Sects interrupted, Zhang Kui possesses the Formless Celestial Capital Banner, allowing him to charge and use it.

Under the astonished gaze of Yuan Huang and others, Zhang Kui’s radiance flashed, and his body grew larger, quickly transforming into a giant nearly a hundred meters tall, with his Qi Mechanism suddenly soaring, causing all things to fall silent.

"Dharma Aspect Heaven and Earth!"

The eyes of all Immortals were filled with envy.

The new Immortal Path is blooming, and everyone continues to achieve their own Little World through their unique bloodline talents, each having their own fortune.

Like Yuan Huang, whose Little World naturally carries the Power of the Bloodthirst Domain, and the Great Venerate Toad who can cause spatial tremors.

Certainly, they also cultivate Immortal Skills based on the Earth Demon 72 Techniques, but compared to the level of Dharma Aspect Heaven and Earth, it’s simply incomparable.

Zhang Kui couldn’t bother with the thoughts of others, with a low shout, his eyes blazing, he grasped the Immortal Sect with a large hand and thunderously rose.

This is the reason he wants to cultivate Dharma Aspect Heaven and Earth.

Whether to drive the Immortal Sect or to refine the entire Celestial Essence Star in the future, he doesn’t know how long it would take with his Immortal Power alone, so he can only use Dharma Aspect Heaven and Earth for temporary amplification.

Buzzing!

Spatial tremors, a grand and majestic sound seems to be coming from the depths of the starry sky, the Immortal Sect, originally driven by the power of the Immortal Ship, was forcibly pulled out from the Array Disc by Zhang Kui.

After detaching from the Array Disc, the Immortal Sect immediately began to restore its original size.

Rumbling!

The ground continuously trembled and collapsed, Zhang Kui transformed into a giant, gritting his teeth to keep the Immortal Sect stable, while several other Immortal Venerables worked together to stabilize the Earth Veins, the vast and spreading Qi Mechanism causing the drifting snow to vanish, but the turbulence of the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi resulted in a giant spiral-shaped dark cloud appearing in the sky.

Half a cup of tea’s time later, a majestic Immortal Sect was standing on the prairie, with the two side pillars towering to heights comparable to Kunlun Mountain, the massive gate looming among the clouds, with the mystical, chaotic Qi Mechanism continuously spreading.

Zhang Kui’s eyes shone brightly, after several inspections, he waved his hand, and the hundred-meter-high Formless Celestial Capital Banner wrapped with endless Power of Space was planted atop the Immortal Sect.

Afterward, he took out an ancient copper box, pinching the Spell, one by one, Immortal Sect keys broke through the void and were inserted into the empty space, with the beautiful patterns continuously extending.

Click click!

Sounds of giant gears turning echoed from the void.

Buzz!

The towering Immortal Sect trembled, with white light emerging from the center.

Meanwhile, atop the Moon Palace orbit, the long silent Immortal Sect emitted endless radiance.

Once connecting numerous Star Realms, the fundamental starry sky Immortal Sect of the Infinite Immortal Dynasty, finally resumed operation after tens of thousands of years.

Zhang Kui’s eyes slightly squinted, stepping into the Light Sect, the enormous Blood Moon instantly appeared before his eyes.

He breathed a sigh of relief, the Underworld Starry Sky had strange Qi Mechanism, staying too long would cause Divine Soul chaos for even ordinary cultivators, let alone common people, hence the great migration couldn’t happen without the Immortal Sect.

"Hurry, don’t waste time!"

On the prairie, apart from the dragon-bodied giant Starship, there were large and small Starships loaded with supplies already arriving, despite being stunned by the sight before them, they still remembered the orders, flying into the immense Light Sect one after another...

...

Inside the giant Starship, the Divine Dynasty’s populace naturally couldn’t see the outside, only feeling multiple tremors before the mountain-like cabin doors roared open once more.

"Quick, quick, exit in order, don’t rush..."

Under the Star Official’s command, the people walked out of the Starship in confusion.

What lay before them was rough land, with tall buildings towering above, densely packed with windows like a beehive, each likely able to accommodate a thousand households.

They had long been informed that the Moon Palace was far from the imagined beauty, due to the small area, they would have to live in these crowded tube buildings for a long time.

Rat Spirit Storyteller Li, amidst the crowd, felt initially perplexed, but gradually at ease afterward.

Looking at those tall buildings ahead, he suddenly recalled the task assigned to him by the Star Official: to tell stories to entertain the people daily, aiming to earn Merit points.

No wonder!

Living here every day, wouldn’t they be stifled to death...

"Look!"

Just then, someone suddenly pointed to the sky in surprise.

All the people raised their heads to look at the sky silently.

Seeing a small blue star standing quietly in the dark starry sky, splendid yet solitary...

...

Buzz!

The Immortal Sect’s radiance began to fade.

Zhang Kui put away the Formless Celestial Capital Banner, feeling a bit pained.

This item’s radiance had dimmed, the stored Power of Space inside was at least reduced by twenty percent.

With Formless Cave Heaven destroyed, this item was the only way to drive it. In other words, the number of times the Immortal Sect could be used was decreasing, requiring a way to replenish the Space Domain Power going forward.

This great migration by the Divine Dynasty took a full half month, now the Divine Land stretches across miles in solitude, with each great city empty, resembling ghost towns without inhabitants.

Throughout the Divine Continent, only Shazhou Siling Mountain remains bustling, True Sun Fire illuminating all directions, the dense numbers of the Profound Pavilion’s white-clothed Feathered Scholars still busy. Now, their task is to fully cooperate with Zhang Kui, refining one giant Array Hub Spiritual Artifact after another.

This is an even grander project, with Yuan Huang and Bao Wuxin stationed at the Moon Palace, while the other Immortal Venerables will come to assist.

And after Zhang Kui stowed the Celestial Capital Banner, he then stepped into the Underworld Starry Sky, steering the Chaos Heaven towards the edge of the Star Zone...
