The Undying Transmigrator

Book 2: Chapter 25: Nationwide Cultivation

Vol 2 Chapter 25: Nationwide Cultivation

Mo Wen looked down upon the dynasty under his rule.

The imperial capital, or rather the central district, now housed two billion cultivators.

Beyond the central district lay residential areas with over thirty-four billion inhabitants, most of whom were newborns.

In this era of rapid development and abundant resources, those qualified to reproduce naturally bred extensively before reaching population capacity limits.

Due to talent screening, self-operating cultivation techniques, and nutrition so abundant it bordered on terrifying—coupled with the cultivation organs born from Mo Wen's influence—most of these newborns surpassed the strength of ordinary soldiers from twenty years ago by age eight.

If animals could cultivate into demons, then humans through cultivation could naturally achieve early intelligence and accelerated development.

Paired with prenatal education from powerful figures, knowledge inheritance potions refined from Memory Worms, and various academies continually lowering admission ages, geniuses born with wisdom could now prepare for graduation exams right after birth—though only one such prodigy had appeared so far.

Beyond the residential areas stretched endless spiritual plant zones.

Before Divine Mechanism replaced the emperor in governance, it first became a diligent gardener. Countless spiritual mechanoids moved through the spiritual plant zones, working alongside cultivators skilled in spiritual plant cultivation to accelerate growth.Compared to the special spiritual plants cultivated in various Secret Realms, the spiritual plant zones primarily ensured basic cultivation needs were met, requiring only fundamental levels of spiritual soil, spiritual water, temperature control, and spiritual energy regulation.

Beyond the spiritual plant zones lay various defensive nodes.

High-level cultivators took turns standing guard, ensuring that defensive formations could be activated immediately against external threats, making the dynasty impregnable as fortified metal and stone.

Compared to past combat methods centered on fierce generals supported by military formations, the current approach focused on high-level cultivators supported by formation arrays, borrowing power from heaven and earth—requiring far fewer standing armies.

The original martial arts and spell systems merged, combining magical power, vital energy, and murderous aura into spiritual energy as a universal energy source, enabling more efficient execution of martial techniques and spells.

However, combat energy remained independent, still exclusive to the powerful, combining with localized psychic power that locals called "innate supernatural abilities" to become an even more ferocious form.

Furthermore, drawing inspiration from various Secret Realms born during the celestial anomalies, people created a new cultivation system: "Drawing energy into the body, opening inner springs, nurturing spiritual apertures, inner body Secret Realms, communion with heaven and earth, transforming into dragon and ascending to immortality." This new system offered faster cultivation speed, simpler breakthroughs, higher limits, and greater expandability compared to the past.

Unlocking specific acupuncture points and opening particular inner body Secret Realms could significantly extend lifespan.

However, numerous Secret Realms remained undeveloped, high-level breakthroughs proved too difficult for most people, and some redundant aspects needed refinement.

This cultivation system hadn't yet reached its complete form, with the highest realm existing only in theory.

Mo Wen also worked diligently to research how to complete this new system, frequently visiting various major academies to study.

For example, today featured a public lecture by Monkey Ancestor.

In the Lecture Valley capable of accommodating tens of millions, new generation geniuses, established powerhouses, senior students seeking to broaden their knowledge—including the newly arrived Mo Wen—all took their seats quietly.

Only when the lecture began did the monkey who had been meditating at the center of the venue stand up, nodding to each student in the audience.

Compared to the somewhat jumpy-looking monkey from twenty years ago, he now possessed an aura as profound as the abyss, unfathomably deep. Yet he still hadn't given himself a name, and still wielded a stone staff as his weapon.

"Today, I will speak about 'Dharma Forms.'"

"Before 'The Theory of Body Secrets' was written and generally confirmed the effects of various Secret Realms on the body, developing new systems was essentially gambling with life—the slightest carelessness could mean death. Even now, we only improve safety through caution at the cost of slowing research."

"I've always wanted to create a method for conveniently testing new systems, but progress has been poor. Until I discovered a new possibility from Spiritual Body theory."

"Thus was born the new 'Dharma Form' technology based on self-topology."

Monkey Ancestor plucked a hair and blew on it, splitting into an identical copy of himself, a blue-faced version with ferocious fangs and enormous size, and another completely chaotic version of himself.

"Body replication, combat avatars, and research consumption are the three advancement directions I've currently discovered for 'Dharma Form technology.'"

"This technological advancement means the perfection of the cultivation system has entered a new explosive period, with personal safety coefficients and various abilities of high-level cultivators greatly improved, along with another round of technological explosion."

"The specific methods for achieving 'Dharma Forms' are too complex for classroom explanation. I've already written a paper—interested friends can borrow it from the Scripture Library after class. This lecture will only cover my thought process during interdisciplinary reasoning, other feasibility aspects of 'Spiritual Body theory,' technological recombination..."

The Chenyao Dynasty's original knowledge structure leaned more toward empiricism, lacking programmatic theoretical research. But shortly after Mo Wen became emperor, he used his personal prestige to confirm the importance of theory and began establishing a theoretical research system.

Today's lecture by Monkey Ancestor wasn't heavily focused on specific theories, being somewhat conceptual, but it truly matched his status in the research community.

Even the most mediocre students could grasp about half of it, feeling their minds filled with concepts and vaguely seeing new future directions. The top cultivators listened with rapt attention, combining Monkey Ancestor's ideas with their own fields, suddenly bursting with infinite inspiration—wanting to recruit more research students and establish more research projects.

By the time Monkey Ancestor finished his explanation and interacted with the top cultivators, the sky had already darkened.

Mo Wen took a deep breath and was about to return to handle government affairs when suddenly he sensed something wrong. Something that his connection between heaven and humanity couldn't precisely identify had entered this world.

He rapidly ascended while gazing toward the horizon, locking onto the foreign object rising from the sea surface.

It was a gigantic eyeball belonging to an unimaginably massive decaying giant fish.

It emerged from the fish's eye socket like a small celestial body, looking toward human territory.

The fish's scales were falling off, its body covered in congealed blood scabs with swollen tumors growing wildly, making it several times more disgusting and distorted. At first glance, it appeared already dead.

Perhaps it was already dead, merely being manipulated by something that had taken over its body to continue moving.

Mo Wen hardly needed to think to guess the answer.

Death.

If only he hadn't permitted people to explore there...

Mo Wen never regretted irreversible deaths—he only made enemies regret causing those deaths.

In the next instant, the world's strongest being pierced through sky and earth, descending toward the ocean, falling toward the world's boundary.

The fish monster's mouth split open to both sides, countless tentacles extending from within, seemingly preparing to engage him in battle.
