Cultivation Starts from Killing Pigs-Chapter 272 - 267: Majestic Kunlun, Preparing to Open the Mountain Gate

Although the foundational tone for the Divine Dynasty's development has long been established, with plans even extending a hundred years into the future, no one expected that in the first year of its founding, it would encounter such an event.

To send troops? Or just ignore it?

The Divine Dynasty has no Emperor; everything requires deliberation and voting. Although everyone has different opinions, they all approach this with great caution.

They control the operation of the Divine Dynasty; above is the glorious Divine Path, and below are the hearts of the countless people. Whatever decision is made, it will be recorded in history.

Furthermore, many wish to be inducted into the divine ranks through merit, and if a mistake is made, it will inevitably damage their merit. Even if they become a god, they will be punished.

Some wish to fight, while others want to first address the internal affairs of the Divine Dynasty.

Currently, in the Celestial Pavilion, most are former Forbidden Land Great Demons. If troops are to be dispatched, they are the most critical combat force. But although they have power, they must be regulated by the Divine Path, as the Divine Path is invincible within the Divine Land Barrier, with the unfathomable True Man Zhang backing them.

They also harbor their own thoughts; some do not wish to interfere, focusing solely on cultivation, while others, with their end nearing, are eager to establish merit and join the divine ranks.

This is the drawback of collective decision-making; although there is the stern oversight of the Divine Path, individuals have their own agendas.

On Kunlun Mountain, through layers of cloud and sea, the air is already exceedingly thin, the great sun shining brightly, and the Spiritual Qi is astonishingly dense.

Alone, Zhang Kui has built a grass hut and placed a Pill Furnace. Every day, he either drinks Spirit Wine to observe the operation of the All Heaven Stars or busies himself with various doodles and sketches.

However, at this moment, he also paused, his eyes radiating divine light, seeing through the layers of clouds to observe the situation within the Central Extreme Hall.

This matter, he does not intend to engage in.

As he often says, this world is the world of the people. While he may have helped the human race stand up, does it mean he must carry them on his back in the future?

In these chaotic times, with the Ten Thousand Races vying for dominance, a race cannot lack heroes, but if it solely relies on heroes, that would spell complete disaster!

But the current system of the Divine Dynasty combines not only what he saw and heard in his past life but also involves the wisdom of many human intellectuals of this world, in addition to unprecedented Divine Path regulation.

Whether it can operate normally and how long it can run is unknown. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

This is considered the first major event in the opening of the Divine Dynasty. Zhang Kui cannot help but pay some attention.

Inside the hall, after the high-ranking figures of the Kaiyuan Divine Dynasty have expressed their opinions, Elder Huayan suddenly smiles and says, "Gentlemen, the Crown Prince of the Ghost Rong Kingdom has arrived. We should listen to his views."

Outside the magnificent Central Extreme Hall, Bolder adjusts his attire, feeling uneasy.

He came prepared with many secret plans—gifts, arguments, alliances—to ensure the Kaiyuan Divine Dynasty would intervene.

However, he was met with a surprise.

The legendary True Man Zhang is entirely uninvolved, and he couldn't even meet him. The Divine Dynasty surprisingly has no Emperor, and major decisions are made by the Divine Dynasty Council, which was unheard of.

Soon, a guard came to invite him, and Bolder, looking solemn, took a deep breath and slowly walked into the hall.

Although he kept his gaze straight, what he saw out of the corner of his eye caused his heart to tremble; those were clearly demons of the Forbidden Land Mahayana, yet they had restrained their aura obediently, watching him intently alongside a group of human Star Officials.

Even more awe-inspiring was a hundred-meter-tall golden phantom drifting slowly at the back of the hall, with a stern face, wearing a crown, and dressed in a Sun, Moon, and Star Robe, with eyes indifferent, solemn and without emotion.

Bolder knew that was Tai Shi, the leader of the Human Race Divine Path True God. Although he would not participate in discussions, he oversees the entire Divine Dynasty Council, recording the hearts of men, ghostly lands, all kinds of causes and effects, and merit deficits.

With so many eyes fixed on him, Bolder felt increasingly solemn. After standing on the platform, he fell silent for a while, then bowed slightly:

"Gentlemen, actually, I seek help from the Divine Dynasty for a selfish reason, for revenge..."

His tone was low as he recounted his story, his expression gradually growing more agitated, "Along the way, this young prince has felt deeply; here in the Divine Continent, there is order, justice, hope, and above all, dignity!"

"The Divine Dynasty is fated to last for ten thousand generations. As a fellow human, I am willing to renounce the throne, have the Ghost Rong Kingdom realign with the Divine Land, and let the people of the grasslands bathe in the glory of the Divine Dynasty!"

Bolder spoke passionately. Some below showed excited eyes, others remained indifferent. The Divine Dynasty Council has its operational mechanisms, driven by various forces and overwhelming public sentiment, unaffected by just a few words from individuals.

Of course, except for True Man Zhang, but it seems he has already decided to stay in the background.

After Bolder finished speaking and left the hall, he waited anxiously.

It wasn't long before a solemn and grand voice announced, "The Divine Dynasty resolves to dispatch troops to eradicate the Sea of Blood on Wolf Mountain and rescue the grassland people, carrying the Human Race Divine Path forward..."

Bolder immediately jumped up, laughing and crying as he roared madly towards the sky.

On the top of Kunlun Mountain, Zhang Kui withdrew his gaze, chuckling, "That's more like it. Follow the righteous path; fight when it's necessary. The Divine Land Barrier is not some turtle shell..."

He took a sip of wine and stood with hands behind his back, the cloud sea roiling beneath his feet, his eyes filled with divine light, seeing many scenes across the Divine Continent.

Spring warms the land, with people farming. Demon creatures assist, earning merit, while others retreat into deep mountains and great swamps to cultivate. Yet under the sternness of the Divine Path, none dare to slaughter the human race anymore.

In wild precarious territories, Profound Pavilion cultivators excavate ancient relics, with various Ancient Secret Realms appearing intermittently, awaiting exploration.

Even though chaos persists outside, winds and tempests abound, within the Divine Land Barrier, everything operates in order, harmonious under the Heavenly Dao.

Zhang Kui watched for a long time, until the great sun set and the stars filled the sky.

The Divine Land's current state, he has given much, but also gained significantly. Most importantly, it concerns the path of cultivation he practices.

If cultivation is merely for longevity, it falls short; rather, one should seek the true self, eliminating the false and preserving the true, aiming high to stay aligned with the Great Path.

In his mind, seventy-two stars gleamed brighter, seemingly on the verge of dispelling darkness, yet falling just short a little.

Indeed, after eliminating that divine corpse monster, and with ample skill points, he has completely mastered all the Earth Demon 72 Techniques.

If he wants to become an Immortal, he could do so now, but it would involve transforming into a Corpse Dissolving Immortal.

According to the insights revealed by the Earth Demon 72 Techniques, there are many kinds of immortals—Heaven, Earth, Human, Ghost, and Corpse Dissolving Immortal.

Corpse Dissolving Immortal is the lowest class, with limited prospects, which Zhang Kui naturally does not want.

At the same time, he vaguely understands why this realm's Immortal Path is cut off.

The Golden Core Path he cultivates is a top-notch Magic Technique, and upon mastering it, the minimum achievement should be that of a Human Immortal, with further cultivation leading to Celestial Immortal.

Yet here, something is always missing, preventing that final step.

This world is different from his past life. What exactly is missing, perhaps only a journey to the Underworld can unveil the answer.

However, before that, two matters must be handled first.

First is to modify the Dragonbone Divine Ship, to handle most situations at least.

Secondly, to establish a mountain sect.

In today's Divine Land, many sects have long become nominal. Some cultivators have gone to Bozhou to grow Spirit Medicine, some to Shazhou for Artifact Refining, and others to Jiangzhou, wishing to pursue the path of the Sword Immortal.

But everyone knows, the Kaiyuan Divine Dynasty is a sect disguised as a nation. The Human Race Divine Path talismans, divine skills, the Divine Land Array, Sword Immortal techniques—all signs point to Zhang Kui holding a powerful, complete inheritance.

Everyone is waiting.

The moment he opens the mountain sect, it's feared that all cultivators across the world will gather.

Zhang Kui took a sip of wine and suddenly smiled slyly, causing Fatty Tiger to shiver and his hair to stand on end.

"Taoist, what's up with you?"

"In the old days, sages preached with flowers falling from the sky and golden lotuses sprouting from the earth. I, Old Zhang, don't have such capabilities nor am I that generous, so I plan to have the world's cultivators endure some hardship first..."
