Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World-Chapter 1054 - 512: Connecting the Entire Continent, Constructing Giant Cultivation Cities_2

Chapter 1054: Chapter 512: Connecting the Entire Continent, Constructing Giant Cultivation Cities_2

"Moreover, the cost of each passage is incredibly low, at most just dozens of pieces, or hundreds of Spirit Stones at the most."

"It’s precisely because of this that the Primordial Talisman Sect was able to unify the entire Southern Continent in a short period of time."

"Now the Primordial Talisman Sect only needs to give a command to mobilize the forces of every city."

The various cultivators discussed it with endless emotion.

For them, this was also an earth-shattering year.

They finally understood what it meant to witness the Dao tradition of the Ancient Era.

It was entirely different from the sects of this era.

It was as if they were masters of a different dimension of power, truly unbelievable.

If not witnessed with their own eyes, who would believe such an absurd thing?

"Ancient Spirit Talisman Heaven-Reaching Bridge Talisman? Space Talisman?"

"The power contained within it rivals a Teleportation Array."

"And the cost is incredibly low."

"Using such a Space Talisman, one can traverse city after city across the Southern Continent?"

"If so, unifying the Southern Continent would indeed be a simple matter."

Cold Pool Daoist was amazed.

He knew that the difficulty in unifying the entire Southern Continent was not really about power, but the vast distances.

After all, the Southern Continent is too massive, spanning hundreds of thousands, even millions of kilometers.

Even for high-tier cultivators, crossing some regions requires a lot of time.

So it’s even more difficult for Low-Tier Cultivators.

A common cultivator might not ever leave a million-kilometer radius in their lifetime.

If the traveling distances are so vast, truly unifying the Southern Continent seems nearly impossible.

After all, as the saying goes, "The mountains are high, and the Emperor is far away."

But now things are different.

With the power of the Heaven-Reaching Bridge Talisman, the cultivators of the Primordial Talisman Sect can easily reach any corner of the Southern Continent, and at a low cost.

Even if a rebellion occurs somewhere, it can be suppressed immediately.

This is true governance, not just governance in name.

"Even more frightening is that the Primordial Talisman Sect not only rules over all the Nascent Soul Sects."

"Even the Golden Core Sects and Golden Core Clans, as well as the Foundation Establishment Clans, are united under them."

"They have taken all the mineral resources and Spirit Veins of the Southern Continent into the sect’s possession."

"Any cultivator attempting mining will be doing so illegally and will be punished."

"Almost all forces must pay a certain amount of tax to the Primordial Talisman Sect."

"Otherwise, they are not permitted to occupy any Spirit Veins."

Many cultivators spoke with schadenfreude.

There is no doubt that this was a catastrophic event for those sect and family forces.

After all, these forces have occupied countless Spirit Veins and resource-rich minerals.

They can be described as feasting sumptuously.

If these resources are taken away, it’s akin to cutting their flesh, drinking their blood.

Only the loose cultivators did not suffer any losses.

Because the loose cultivators have long been so poor they bleed urine, what assets could they have?

Even if the Primordial Talisman Sect wanted to impose taxes, they couldn’t collect it from them.

"No way, is this not rather tyrannical?"

"Did the sects and families not oppose this?"

Upon hearing this, Cold Pool Daoist was shocked, finding it almost unbelievable.

He understood that the Southern Continent was essentially the dominion of the sects and families.

Every cultivation family’s history is immensely long, often spanning thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

Many families have histories even longer than the sects.

Thus, there is an expression in the Southern Continent: "A millennium-old sect, a ten-thousand-year-old family."

This illustrates just how deeply rooted the power of the cultivation families is.

This kind of reform touches every cultivation family’s interest, tantamount to asking for their lives.

He couldn’t imagine how intense these cultivation families’ opposition could be.

"Indeed, it’s very tyrannical, but they are a Void Refining Sect, with over a hundred Tier Five Spirit Beasts."

"Plus, numerous Nascent Soul Sects surrendered almost immediately."

"So regardless of how angry and unwilling the Golden Core Clans and Foundation Establishment Clans are, what can they do?"

"Their postures are very pliable, capable of bending and stretching."

"After all, the Primordial Talisman Sect is not joking around."

"If anyone dares openly defy the rules, it means the extermination of their families."

"Thus, not many families dared to publicly oppose them during this period."

Many loose cultivators sneered.

They understood why this situation arose, purely because the Primordial Talisman Sect was too powerful.

Not even these cultivation families could resist them.

Those family cultivators were not fools; they’d not knowingly do what’s impossible.

If taxes really needed to be paid, then they’d pay.

After all, these families had originally been under sect rule, paying taxes to the sects.

And upon careful calculation, the taxes to the Primordial Talisman Sect are actually lower.

The only thing they were hesitant about was having to hand over the mineral veins they controlled.

But now, as they can’t resist the overwhelming force, they could only accept this grudgingly.

"Truly worthy of being a Void Refining Sect; even those wolf-like families kowtow submissively."

Cold Pool Daoist didn’t know what to say.

He knew very well the nature of those families; making them suffer any loss was like asking them for their lives.

Once, he too was hunted by those cultivation families over some interests.

If these cultivation families were united, even a sect could be shaken by them.

But unfortunately, the Primordial Talisman Sect is like a savage dragon from across the river.

Their power is too overwhelming.

Even a single Tier Five Spirit Beast is sufficient to destroy numerous families.

So they dared not make any move, behaving obediently like rabbits.

However, what Cold Pool Daoist didn’t know was how deep this matter actually ran.

In fact, some families still weren’t willing to pay taxes and chose to resist stubbornly.

But it was all in vain.

They used the power of the Heaven-Transforming Staff Talisman to convert those Golden Core cultivators and Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Thus turning them into devout followers of the Primordial Talisman Sect.

In this way, even the family ancestors became part of the Primordial Talisman Sect, naturally eliminating any resistance.

That’s why the Primordial Talisman Sect was able to easily resolve the opposition of those cultivation families without bloodshed.

Had it not been for this hidden strength of the Primordial Talisman Sect, certainly they would have needed to kill a batch of families to deter the stubborn ones.

But all of this is the secret power of the Primordial Talisman Sect, and it was not disclosed to other cultivators.

"However, for us loose cultivators, none of this matters, as it does not affect us."

"In truth, another decision by the Primordial Talisman Sect is what truly impacts the future of countless cultivators."

"That is their decision to build supercities everywhere across the Southern Continent."

"From now on, there will be no ordinary markets around."

"There will only be cultivation cities."

"Each cultivation city will accommodate at least tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions of people."

A loose cultivator spoke with excitement.

In truth, this is what impacts them the most.

This will also completely change the fate of countless cultivators.

"How is that possible? Each cultivation city can accommodate only a limited number of people."

"It can’t possibly hold so many people."

Cold Pool Daoist was very surprised, not understanding why the Primordial Talisman Sect wanted to do this.

He knew that the existence of many ordinary markets and cities in the Southern Continent was not by choice but due to geographical constraints.

For example, a city with a Tier Three Spirit Vein can only accommodate a certain population.

If the population exceeds this, the Spiritual Qi available for cultivators residing in the city would decrease, which is not favorable for all cultivators.

So when the population limit is reached, the weaker cultivators are driven out.

They are not allowed to live in the city.

Due to this, scattered cultivation markets emerged in various places.

It’s not that the sects didn’t want to build supercities.

They simply couldn’t due to geographical and Spirit Vein limitations.

He couldn’t fathom how the Primordial Talisman Sect intended to solve this issue.

"Senior, the Primordial Talisman Sect possesses a unique kind of Spirit Talisman."

"It is called the Dragon Vein House Charm."

"By integrating this talisman into a Spirit Vein, a Dragon Vein is born."

"If that were all, it might not be significant."

"What’s more important is that once the Dragon Vein is formed, it can automatically organize surrounding ordinary Spirit Veins."

"Moreover, it can grow and evolve automatically."

"For instance, the Dragon Vein of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect has already evolved to the level of a Tier Six Spirit Vein."

Various loose cultivators explained.
