The floating land is in the void, at the foot of Zheyin Mountain.
A cloud platform-like flying magic weapon with a radius of twenty feet slowly floated in the air. Qin Muling sat on it. The table in front of him was filled with various delicacies and spirits for him to enjoy at will. More than twenty voluptuous and plump beauties in thin and transparent skirts were waiting around, fawning and pleasing him.
On the land not far below, there are large tracts of spiritual fields, with a total scale of more than 20,000 hectares. It is a core industry that this sect took more than three hundred years to develop and spent a lot of manpower and material resources.
At this moment, hundreds of thousands of slaves are working in this spiritual field, 95% of them are ordinary young adults, and the rest are low-level casual cultivator slaves, whose cultivation base is basically in the Qi Refining Realm and The realm of enlightenment comes from various sources.
Spiritual fields are different from medicine gardens. The requirements for underground spiritual veins and spiritual energy are relatively less stringent, but they are also much higher than ordinary fertile fields. Therefore, on a floating land in the void, the places that can be opened up as spiritual fields are quite limited.
Moreover, this kind of spiritual field usually requires a lot of manpower to take care of it. Ordinary people alone are not enough. A small number of manpower must have certain cultivation skills. For these small sects, it is a considerable investment.
The Lingtian produces various kinds of spiritual rice, spiritual wheat, ordinary spiritual fruits and spiritual flowers, etc., which are mainly used to supply the daily food and cultivation needs of the monks in the middle and lower classes. They can also be used to brew various spiritual wines and nectars. Of course, the grades are not very high. High, incomparable to those spiritual fields on the territory of the Supreme Orthodoxy.
But even such resources are a rare good thing for a large number of low-level casual cultivators. In some remote areas, a casual cultivator of the Enlightenment Realm can be hired for only a few tens of stone spiritual meters. Work hard for you.
"It feels pretty good to be a local emperor here, right?"
Qin Muling drank all the spiritual wine in the jade cup and exhaled happily. The beauty next to him immediately filled another cup for him.
It has been a month since he took over the Yang family. These four small forces, including Zheyin Mountain, have been conquered by Qin Muling one by one. All the monks who are above the Wu Xuan realm have powerful restrictions planted deep in their souls. The shackles made it impossible for them to resist.
Therefore, this floating land in the void with a radius of more than 30,000 miles has a total of more than 400 large and small towns and hundreds of thousands of village settlements. In total, more than 250 million mortals have become Qin Muling's subjects. .
In previous lives, such a territory and population could already support a very large empire. Of course, in this vast world where there are monks and the power of heaven and earth is attributed to oneself, it is not worth mentioning at all.
"Have you done everything you ordered last time?"
Qin Muling looked at the four men and one woman standing aside. The leader was of course the former head of the Yang clan, Yang Xing. The remaining four were the former heads of the four small families, and now they all followed Qin Muling, the only master. .
Yang Yan quickly took out a jade slip and offered it: "Master, please take a look. All the mines, spiritual veins and spiritual fields that have been inventoried and suitable for development are here."
Qin Muling took it and looked at it carefully, and was silent.
In the past, several small forces worked on their own, and sneak attacks and sabotage among each other were commonplace. Either your family destroyed my family's martial arts hall and restaurant today, or my family destroyed your family's mines and forests tomorrow. Anyway, there was no stopping.
There are many mineral veins and spiritual fields suitable for mining and utilization. Because they are located in the dividing line between several forces, the ownership rights are not clear. For safety reasons, each force can only choose to leave them idle.
Then there are some mines and spiritual fields located on the edge of desert areas. Due to relatively high development costs and limited benefits, they can only be ignored.
In fact, only one-third of the entire Void Floating Continent can be considered good, suitable for a large number of mortals to live and reproduce. The rest of the area is an abandoned dead zone with no possibility of development and utilization.
"That's all, let's go take a look first and then talk."
As Qin Muling spoke, Yang Yan quickly turned around and gave an order. The monk in charge of controlling the flying gimbal immediately used his spiritual secret to drive the flying gimbal to fly quickly into the distance.
After a while, the greenery on the earth began to decrease, and gray and black tones gradually filled the field of vision.
These abandoned dead zones also have mountains, hills, landforms, lakes and rivers, but there is no sign of life. Not to mention that humans cannot survive, not even vegetation or insects can be seen. The area of more than 10,000 miles is completely silent.
The spiritual energy in the dead zone is chaotic and violent, and the geomagnetism and feng shui are complex and changeable. If ordinary people enter here rashly, they will die within two or three hours. Low-level monks below the enlightenment realm cannot stay in this environment for long.
All of this was caused by the great catastrophes in the ancient times. During those dark and bloody years, many great powers competed to take action. Various supernatural powers, forbidden magic weapons, and appalling evil curses took turns to destroy the world. The vast world was shattered into pieces, the sun fell, stars fell, and spiritual opportunities were cut off, causing the entire world of time and space to be destroyed to the brink of destruction.
Although after an unimaginably long period of time, the Great Dao Spirit Machine began to be repaired, the concentration of spiritual energy between heaven and earth gradually increased, and many void continents regained life, there were still no signs of recovery in most areas.
Qin Muling stood up, fell lightly against the wind, and stepped onto the ground. A group of monks on the flying platform quickly followed.
He crouched down and touched the ground with his hands, and his spiritual mind penetrated into the ground. He easily sensed the restless spiritual energy inside, as well as some negative energy of different attributes. However, the destructive and corrosive power was not as exaggerated as imagined. Within your own tolerance.
Expanding the sensing range, Qin Muling discovered that there were not no spiritual veins in these dead zones, but they were all contaminated and therefore could not be used.
Qin Muling silently used the secret technique of Tianji and came to the conclusion after a little calculation. If there is no human intervention, perhaps in thousands or tens of thousands of years, the destructive energy in this dead zone will naturally dissipate, thus To regenerate vitality, after all, the recovery of heaven and earth is the general trend.
But for now, there is no solution.
Qin Muling tried to input mana into the ground, and at the same time communicated with the innate Hongmeng spiritual species in the sea of consciousness. Spider-web-like chaotic light and shadow faintly emerged, centered on his feet, and spread silently in all directions along the ground under his feet. At this point, the violent and chaotic spiritual energy calmed down and began to be assimilated by Qin Muling's magic power.
The chaotic light and shadow spread to a radius of three thousand feet and then stabilized, then began to penetrate into the deep soil, and gradually stopped until it was thousands of feet underground.
Under the incredible gazes of the surrounding monks, the gray-black soil on all sides began to change at a speed visible to the naked eye, returning to the color of normal soil.
"This...how is this possible?"
Yang Yan's face was full of disbelief. What happened in front of him had completely subverted his previous understanding.
