Chapter 921 - 15: Destiny Profits Soar, Jiu Shui Enters the Celestial Destiny World
Several days passed in the blink of an eye.This period was very fulfilling.
Firstly, the indigenous trio, organized themselves and established a female guild.
After obtaining a low version of Firewood from Xin'e, the Marriage Dress Town Master became a qualified physician and even joined the Immortal Stone research project, shining and thriving.
Even the Immortal Aunt and Medical Fairy exclaimed, "Sister, your talent is outstanding, you learn so fast!"
This was despite the Marriage Dress Town Master hiding her medical skills; she's ready to gradually reveal them.
Meanwhile, in the forge.
No-Life Whale's role was a blacksmith, and received Daojiu's praise, "Your aptitude is commendable."
As for Princess Xin'e?
She has gone to become a Spirit Farmer.
The Xin Family's lineage has always been exceptional; she is inherently versatile. By being a Spirit Farmer, she aims to control the three major sub-professional cores: [Spirit Farmer], [Forging], and [Physician], with the trio.
Truly ambitious.
Of course, Ning Zheng was indifferent, feeling that a bit of pressure on the blacksmiths was excellent, shocking new talented young blacksmiths a bit!
Also, their future Immortal Realm Sword Casting Manor plans to expand with sub-branches, and when these reliable indigenous blacksmiths gain experience, sending them to the Immortal Realm Sword Casting Manor sub-branches will be a good choice.
The second matter is the completion of the neighboring Infinite Hell, which concluded after several hundred years of updates.
This very morning.
Ning Zheng reaped significant updates.
[Current Qi Fortune Value reserve: 84.9 billion]
[Daily income: 350-101=249 billion]
[Daily Qi Fortune Value consumption: 20.1 billion (10.1 billion Destiny + 10 billion Tribulation Qi)]
...
Daily revenue of 249 billion, a real outburst.
Of course, this also means the Celestial Destiny World is virtually drained.
He can't squeeze further; doing so would starve that world of development.
Moreover, due to excessive exploitation, various rebel forces may emerge, aiming to overthrow tyranny.
And, he may also get entangled with various Karmic Forces... though his Tribulations shouldn't fear these things, he still chooses not to engage.
Ning Zheng is neither a tyrant nor a scoundrel; he won't enact those tyrannies and crazily exploit the people until they can't survive and their families are destroyed.
For expansion he must seek other worlds.
But clearly, other worlds are hard to find.
Although the Night Emperor can enter nearby worlds, he feels those worlds might have been brushed over by the Painter...
If he acts on his own, he will be discovered.
And the farther worlds are not under the Painter's control; rather, other powers control them.
These are the homes of those Immortals, who come periodically to collect ascending Immortals; interfering... is touching others' foundational power sources, the root of new generations.
It would incite war!
No matter which world, there's someone behind it; it's not unclaimed.
In these times, all territories are divided thoroughly, so one cannot casually mess with others' interests.
Of course, Ning Zheng currently doesn't intend to involve himself in other worlds yet, having recently acquired wealth beyond necessity; thousands of billions a month, how could it not suffice?
This capital suffices for his reckless indulgence within his current Self-Transformation Realm!
Even most High Tier Immortals might not possess as many resources as he does.
The third matter, the research on Immortal Stone continues, but the progress is not significant.
Medical Fairy proposed a suggestion:
"We've sent the Immortal Stone to the neighboring Celestial Destiny World for our complete counterparts to assist with research, but even they couldn't decipher it."
"They are proficient in Destiny research, it seems the Immortal Stone is not so easily deciphered."
"If possible, we must investigate the origin site of Immortal Stone, examine their mineral veins."
Ning Zheng understood.
If Immortal Stone were easy to manage, the Immortal Realm wouldn't monopolize it, enticing others to work for them.
According to the blacksmiths, it's akin to dollar supremacy, hooking the Immortal Stone currency from various worlds, harvesting labor from other worlds.
Every world has its own Immortals, but that world became the top nation, with countless Immortals laboring, enhancing its military, foundation, and system, making it the strongest.
"Looks like we need to visit the Immortal Realm; really need to establish a sub-manor near their doorstep, to better disrupt their plans."
Ning Zheng had this thought, shaking his head silently, realizing he's indeed afflicted, picking up the blacksmiths' catchphrases.
However.
Establishing a sub-branch of the Sword Casting Manor is paused, because he is about to break through.
The three calamities and seven tribulations, the second ordeal, the Yin of Origin tribulation.
He sat cross-legged, silently sensing the Yin Qi within.
All life requires a balance of Yin and Yang; solitary Yang cannot survive, lone Yin cannot prosper.
Now, Yin Qi within Ning Zheng seemed to wither, vanish, conceptually disappearing.
Withering precedes Rebirth.
Yet enduring the process of withering is the greatest challenge.
Swish-swosh.
With the withering and dissipating of Yin Qi within Ning Zheng, the balance of his body appeared disrupted.
Yang Qi soared!
The entire demeanor became peculiarly hypermasculine, hair sprouted vigorously, a mighty masculinity permeated fearfully, transforming him into a furry ape-like being.
He reverted to ancestral traits.
His meridians overflowed crazily, turning into black hair, growing fluffy.
After a while, through several bodily changes, he gradually returned to normal, with Yin Qi of Origin beginning to regrow within him.
"Whew!"
Ning Zheng felt the internal transformation, an expansive and substantial force, "Yin, Yang, both tribulations passed, the Yin Yang Cycle has undergone a qualitative change, feels like I could ascend as an Immortal."
Even ascending now, Ning Zheng has surpassed five tribulations: body, soul, fate, Yin, Yang.
He would be an extremely fearsome genius even in the Immortal Realm.
But Ning Zheng must still overcome the remaining Five Elements tribulations.
"Yet, it's increasingly difficult as I progress," Ning Zheng lightly sighed, "must suppress the internal expansive force."
He began silently adapting to the new realm.
...
...
The Capital City, nursery, Between the Scales.
The Night Emperor, accompanied by Ye Tian'ai, visited the Imperial Palace, meeting Xin Xichen, and Jiu Shui.
"During our travels here, this place contained my portrait; truly vexing." The Night Emperor sighed, revealing an irritated expression.
Jiu Shui chuckled and said, "May I ask, which world does Your Excellency hail from?"
"I come from the Celestial Destiny World." The Night Emperor briefly introduced the customs of their world.
After hearing, Jiu Shui couldn't help but sigh, "Could you take me to visit your Celestial Destiny World?"
The Night Emperor cleverly replied, "Do you wish to become an Immortal there? With the time dilation over there, possibly in a month you can transcend the millennial Immortal Fate journey."
"Precisely." Jiu Shui remained unperturbed, "Also, the Ember over there is quite distinct, would like to observe it."
"Going this time, I'll owe Your Excellency a favor for my path to ascension."
The Night Emperor heard this and felt pleasantly surprised; Jiu Shui's favor is exceedingly important.
Upon becoming an Immortal, the existence of the three-fold human structure, fate, soul, body, and the veiled Destiny felt with its implications of cause and effect.
Moreover, they haven't yet ascended, but are already cultivating Destiny.
Jiu Shui's indebted Destiny would be favorable to the Night Emperor.
"I will take you there." The Night Emperor smiled, "However, your immense Immortal Fate cannot be brought over; you still cannot ascend as an Immortal."
"I wish to try Immortal ascent without Immortal Fate." Jiu Shui softly stated, "If unsuccessful, I can return to ascend through Immortal Fate."
The Night Emperor nodded.
Jiu Shui's perceptiveness also sensed that Immortal Fate was a framework, an external object, leveraging external forces to transform, inherently has some flaws.
"Alright, then I'll take you to the Celestial Destiny World."
The Night Emperor stood up, opened the space pathway, then led Jiu Shui through it.
Xin Xichen watched this scene, sighed, "Jiu Shui ultimately left this world, without looking back... indifferent to his people."
"Seems like he never battled for the people, as if it was merely for a promise or agreement."
...
...
The Celestial Destiny World.
A figure descended from above.
"Do you feel the suppression there?" The Night Emperor suddenly chuckled.
"There is suppression, but not significant; this world has already been semi-assimilated by our Nine-State World's Ember."
Jiu Shui displayed a thought-provoking expression, "Seems like, to invade a world, Outer Gods first introduce their own civilization system, gradually assimilating that world, reducing repulsion, facilitating final arrival."
The Night Emperor chuckled as he shared such a perspective.
Though he hadn't returned for a long time, this place surprisingly had developed the Golden Core Technique?
