Cultivation Starts from Killing Pigs

"Everyone is going to die?"

Zhang Kui's eyes narrowed slightly, feeling an inexplicable sense of unease.

He had an intuition that the other party was telling the truth, and the sarcasm and pity in their eyes were undisguised.

What exactly happened in this universe?

Zhang Kui wanted to ask in detail, but the Dark God's clone had completely collapsed, turning into streams of flowing light and dust, scattering into the starry sky.

The surrounding Divine Fire Demon Suppression Array also stopped, and many starship captains looked at the dissipating Dark God clone with lingering fears, followed by wild joy.

"We won, finally escaped the death calamity!"

"Sect Leader Zhang is incredibly powerful!"

One after another, starships reignited the Soul Suppressing Tower, and the divine fire burst into explosion, as if brilliant silver fireworks blossomed in the starry sky, with many people cheering excitedly.

Dragon Demon Wu Tianya breathed a sigh of relief, looking around and gradually feeling a surge of confidence.

To be honest, the personnel of the Immortal Path Alliance were diverse; many wandering races struggled to survive in the starry sky, living day by day in numbness, as no one knew what kind of darkness the future held.

Collapse could happen in an instant, but confidence could only accumulate like a trickling stream. This victory against the terrifying Star God might be a good beginning.

The other two demons realized this as well, and in their joy, the Fish Demon Priest's voice, tinged with laughter, echoed through the starry sky, "Everyone, don't just stand there. Now that the Celestial Splendor Star has shattered, we can't let a single reincarnation fragment slip by!"

"The Venerable Fish Demon is right!"

"Haha, that's something I'm good at!"

With teasing voices, starships big and small glittered with silver light as they streaked across the starry sky, heading towards the Celestial Splendor Star.

Every time a Life Star shattered, it was a gluttonous feast, whether because of underworld oddities or Evil Gods, which only led to the dispersion of the center.

The rock fragments encasing the Reincarnation Crystals were divine materials for refining Divine Strange Pearls and many precious treasures, and the Reincarnation Crystals themselves were even more valuable, capable of refining Immortal Artifacts.

However, unlike before, this time many races felt a twinge of regret—reincarnation fragments were great, but nothing could compare to the value of a Life Star...

Zhang Kui stood quietly in the starry sky, without a trace of joy in his heart.

If a former Immortal King, now an Evil God, was struggling for survival, what did that make them?

...

Celestial Essence Star Zone, Moon Star.

Above the Moon Sea, a golden dome spanned the sky, colliding with the bursting spiritual energy of the starry sky, forming a vast flow of spiritual energy that slowly cascaded down, while also shielding against the terrifying evil light of the starry sky.

If you observed from the Moon Sea, not only could you see the dazzling starry sky, but beautiful auroras were also often visible, breathtakingly stunning.

Of course, no matter how beautiful the scenery, seeing it too often could become dull. Many citizens of the Kaiyuan Divine Dynasty no longer, as they did when they first arrived, took the elderly and children out for evening stargazing.

As expected before coming, farming was impossible above the Moon Palace; not to mention Spirit Wood or Spirit Medicine, even ordinary grain seeds wouldn't sprout if tossed down.

Now with over a billion people in the Divine Dynasty, they were entirely reliant on stored provisions.

The good thing was, before deciding on the migration plan, due to the chaos on the Celestial Essence Star, the Divine Dynasty had been storing various supplies, enough to last three years.

For the time being, without the struggle for livelihood, the citizens of the Divine Dynasty naturally had much free time, and with so many people crowded together, prolonged normal circumstances might inevitably lead to trouble, but the Divine Path Dream Realm arose in response.

This universe's dream realm wasn't an illusion; it was another sub-cosmos, controlled by the powerful Eternal Immortal Dynasty.

Dream demons often caused havoc among the populace; experiencing eerie dreams led some to either go mad upon waking or grow unimaginable bizarre tumors. Zhang Kui had resolved several such incidents while wandering the Jianghu.

Of course, the Divine Path Dream Realm he established was very safe, protected by the Divine Court Bell, entirely independent of the Illusion Realm, and housed tens of thousands of Dharma Guardian Divine Soldiers and Dream Demonesses within for protection.

After extensive testing a few months ago, the dream realm system was officially launched, and it became immensely popular across the Divine Dynasty in no time.

Everything inside was well-established, with Star Officials and cultivators carrying merit tasks teaching lessons. Whether ordinary citizens wishing to become literate or cultivators seeking Taoist skills, they could find a teacher.

Of course, if you wanted to practice combat, whether martial paths or skills, there were also eager individuals to give you a harsh lesson.

And most importantly, starship training allowed even ordinary citizens to experience the thrill of traversing the starry sky.

This was an overall leap; the vision, abilities, and even the temperament of the Divine Dynasty's citizens continuously advanced in a short time...

...

Tall, vertical communal buildings stood in ranks, and starships roamed everywhere like a web; the eternal night within the Moon Palace meant that the brilliant starlight and the occasional sunlight could not possibly reach the bottom floors.

To solve this problem, cultivators from the Profound Pavilion had refined palace lanterns driven by arrays, their five-colored radiance and neon brilliance illuminating brilliantly.

There have always been those good at exploiting opportunities; although the Divine Dynasty has a sufficient supply of grain, not everyone is skilled in cooking delicious food. Therefore, many shopkeepers set up tents between the buildings, offering various delicacies.

From afar, the aroma from each stall rises, amidst a bustling crowd and dazzling neon lights, creating an extraordinary and surreal scene.

If Zhang Kui saw this, he would surely be surprised; he unintentionally created a Cyberpunk scene in the Cultivation Realm.

Of course, it's just a resemblance. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Everyone in the Divine Dynasty knows that the current life is just a transition; when the Sect Leader returns, they'll go back to that world of fragrant flowers and plants.

"The Star Official is very satisfied..."

Cui Yebai stepped out of the building, smiled, and said to Guo Huai and the others: "Those Buddhist Sect cultivators must have left a long time ago, and among them, one spoke of a Buddha Land..."

"Alright, alright!"

Guo Huai laughed heartily, grabbed hold of his shoulder, "The mission is over, if you want to study, do it yourself. For now, let's find a place to have a few drinks!"

The crew cheered immediately.

Life in the starry sky is dull, not to mention the eerie Underworld Starry Sky, even cultivators can't stand staying there too long.

Maybe influenced by Zhang Kui, many cultivators have discovered that only the noisy mortal world can soothe the mind and body.

Once a naive young cultivator, Luo Yu has grown into a capable member of the Pingkang Team. After dining and drinking with his teammates, they scattered individually, promising to venture into the stars again after a few days of rest.

Instead of meditating and cultivating right away, Luo Yu returned to his allotted small room, sat cross-legged in front of the Divine Court Bell statue, closed his eyes, and solemnly muttered, "Divine Path Dream Realm!"

Boom!

As soon as the words fell, Luo Yu felt a surge of Divine Power descending from the sky, enveloping him, gradually lulling his Divine Soul into slumber.

Luo Yu didn't resist; he went with the flow, and in a blink, the surrounding scene transformed, bringing him to a mystical space.

Spiritual Mist swirled underfoot, while starlight sparkled in the sky, and ahead lay a row of ancient and sturdy stone tablets.

This is the place everyone enters in the Divine Path Dream Realm; these tablets correspond to academia, martial arts arenas, Earth Demon Halls, Merit Halls, and even the Illusion Realm leading to the Starship practice area of the Divine Island City.

Luo Yu hesitated not; he went directly to a stone tablet engraved with a stone bridge, silently recited a phrase in his heart, and waited quietly.

His brother resides in the Profound Pavilion at Siling Mountain in Shazhou, and the two share a deep bond. Not to worry his brother, Luo Yu would always meet him through this dream realm after returning from missions.

Before long, a white-clothed Feathered Scholar resembling Luo Yu appeared, visibly relieved upon seeing him.

The brothers expressed their mutual concern, exchanging the day's experiences with laughter and cheer, reminding each other to be cautious in all things.

After leaving the dream realm, Luo Yu meditated to rest, while his brother got up, walked out the door, and faced the radiant True Sun Fire of Siling Mountain.

Visible in the distance, on the plain, there stood tall array components shining brightly, each towering several hundred meters high, making the white-clothed Feathered Scholar feel a pang of heartache.

To refine these components, the Divine Dynasty's stock dwindled rapidly, but there was no choice, for everything was for the Celestial Essence Star Realm.

Clearing his mind of distractions, the white-clothed Feathered Scholar continued his intense work.

Seen from afar, Siling Mountain was full of white-clothed Feathered Scholars, refining Divine Materials in numerous fire caverns, which were then collected by dedicated personnel and sent to eight massive light clusters atop the mountain.

Several Immortals of the Divine Dynasty were present there, using their Domain Power to speed up the refining process.

Suddenly, a blood-colored light cluster ascended, revealing the form of Yuan Huang, "Fellow Taoists, I'm heading to Kunlun Mountain."

In a few instant teleportations, he reached the top of Kunlun Mountain, slightly cupped his hands, and said, "Summoned by Taishi True God, what matters require attention?"

Taishi's Golden Body floated in the air, waving his hand to cast large swathes of light shadows, "Immortal Venerable Yuan Huang, please observe."

On it, scenes of Celestial Essence Star flashed continuously.

Within the Divine Land Array, the snow melted, the warmth returned, and hints of green appeared, while beyond the array, many areas were desolate, with trees dying and not a single green leaf in sight.

Yuan Huang's expression became grave, "It's this severe?"

Taishi's eyes flashed with light shadows, "The Reincarnation was disrupted by three monsters, the decline exceeded expectations; the Divine Land Array can barely maintain, but it fears it won't last beyond three years."

"Three years?"

Yuan Huang calculated silently, shaking his head helplessly, "The refining of array components will conclude after a month, but the Star Sea is vast, and the Sect Leader's return time is unknown..."

While speaking, on the stargazing disc beside him, amidst the star map images, numerous red dots suddenly crossed the Meteorite Sea into the Celestial Essence Star Zone.

Yuan Huang's expression was initially solemn, but Taishi's words brought a smile to his brow.

"The Sect Leader has returned!"
