Chapter 265 Achievement: Heart of the World
[Ding! Detected the Sect Master's Secret Room. Do you wish to fuse the Secret Realm?]
"Fuse!"
With a command from Chen Chang'an, the ball of light in his palm suddenly burst forth with dazzling radiance.
The entire Sect Master's Secret Room began to vibrate violently, and the walls rippled like water waves. The phantom image of the Kunlun Secret Realm spread out within the secret room—towering mountains rose from the ground, winding rivers flowed out of thin air, and towering ancient trees broke through the soil to grow.
The two spaces entangled together like water blending with milk.
The dome of the secret room turned into a cerulean firmament, and the ground extended into boundless territory. Chen Chang'an floated in mid-air, witnessing this miracle of creation:
The main peak of Kunlun fit perfectly with the exact center of the Sect Master's Secret Room, and profound runes emerged on the mountain body.
A spiritual spring surged from the earth veins, forming a pool of spirit water where the prayer cushion had originally been placed.
Those ancient buildings that had been collected into the Secret Realm automatically reorganized, transforming into well-arranged pavilions and towers.
The most wonderful thing was that the edges of the entire newly born world were shrouded in gray-white mist.
Chen Chang'an's mind moved slightly, and the outside of the mist instantly turned into a vast ocean, with waves beating against an invisible barrier.
He clearly perceived that this mist was both a boundary and a protection—any living being that stepped into it would lose their direction and eventually return to the interior of the Secret Realm.
[Fusion complete. Do you wish to rename it?]
Chen Chang'an looked around this newly born world, his eyes flickering with surprise. How was this still a Secret Realm? It was clearly a prototype Small Thousand World!
Mountains and rivers were all under his control, and even the laws of time and space were as easy to command as his own arm.
He tried to speed up the time flow of a certain valley and immediately saw the miraculous scene of vegetation growing madly and flowers blooming and withering.
"The spiritual energy is so abundant... Let's call it... the Spirit World."
The moment the naming was completed, the invisible power of rules washed over the entire world. The newly born grass, the swimming fish and shrimp, and even the chicks that had just broken out of their shells, all knew this name in the unseen realm—the Spirit World.
[Please set the passageway location.]
"Not for now." Chen Chang'an rubbed his chin. "Let this world evolve on its own first."
He gazed at the contours of the mountain ranges that were automatically deriving in the distance, and suddenly had a bold idea—perhaps he should introduce some mortals to make this Spirit World truly come alive.
Given time, perhaps it could really grow into an independent Small Thousand World.
Amidst the curling clouds and mist, the morning sun of the newly born Spirit World was slowly rising.
Chen Chang'an's figure gradually faded, leaving only the system prompt echoing in the empty secret room:
[Passageway setting permission has been reserved. The Host can awaken it at any time.]
...
The part covered by the Immortal Spirit Valley Sect Master's Secret Room returned to its original state again.
Only Chen Chang'an knew that at this moment, this square inch of land already concealed a universe—as long as he was within the coverage range of the secret room, he could step into the Spirit World at any time, or return to the present world from the Spirit World.
He felt the subtle resonance between the two worlds in the spatial interlayer, and a hint of a smile could not help but rise on the corners of his mouth.
And right at this moment—
[Ding! Discovered Legendary Achievement: Heart of the World]
Legendary Achievement: Heart of the World
Objective: Increase World Power and cultivate the Spirit World into a complete Small Thousand World.
Current World Power: 2,200/10,000
Note:
All actions that enrich and improve the Spirit World (such as introducing spiritual veins, cultivating spiritual plants, guiding the reproduction of living beings, etc.) will increase World Power.
Actions that destroy the Spirit World (such as excessive mining of spirit ores, large-scale slaughter of living beings, etc.) will reduce World Power.
After World Power reaches 10,000+, the Spirit World will advance to a Small Thousand World with complete rules and can evolve Heavenly Dao laws on its own.
Reward: Master of the World (The Host will obtain absolute control over this Small Thousand World, including but not limited to: freely modifying world rules such as gravity, time flow speed, spiritual energy concentration, etc.)
At the same time, one can extract the World's Source Power for one's own use. As long as the Small Thousand World is not destroyed, the Host will not die.
Chen Chang'an's eyes flashed with a gleam, and stormy waves rose in his heart.
"So that is how it is..." He murmured in a low voice, his gaze sweeping over the mountains and rivers of the Spirit World.
Although this newly born world already had a prototype, it was far from being complete—there was no complete cycle of four seasons, no stable Heavenly Dao laws, and even very few living beings.
"It seems I need to plan this out properly and truly."
With a thought, his figure instantly appeared on the highest peak of the Spirit World—atop the original main peak of Mount Kunlun.
Overlooking the ten thousand miles of mountains and rivers beneath his feet, a grand blueprint gradually took shape in his mind:
First, he needed to introduce more living beings—mortals, spirit beasts, and even low-rank cultivators, to make this world truly "come alive";
Second, cultivate spiritual veins, plant heavenly treasures and earthly materials, and increase the overall spiritual energy concentration;
Finally, perhaps he could try to transplant some special landforms or secret realms from other worlds to enrich the diversity of the Spirit World...
"However, all of this must be done step by step."
He waved his hand gently, and the real-time data of the Spirit World appeared before his eyes:
Current Area: Approximately 12 million square kilometers
Spiritual Energy Concentration: Medium (Equivalent to an area covered by a Grade 3 Spirit Vein in the outside world)
Number of Living Beings: 327 (Mostly spirit beasts remaining from the Kunlun Secret Realm)
Heavenly Dao Completeness: 12%
"The burden is heavy and the road is long..." A smile of anticipation rose on the corner of Chen Chang'an's mouth.
...
Meanwhile, inside the main hall of the Immortal Spirit Holy Land—
"That Daoist Ku Rong actually merged with the entire Mount Kunlun in the end?" Xiao Chen listened with brows furrowed tight, the tea cup in his hand having long since gone cold.
Han Yu nodded and placed the Mountain Guarding Sword horizontally before his knees. "If not for Martial Aunt taking action in time, I fear we..."
"Wait!" Ji Lingxiu suddenly interrupted, her phoenix eyes narrowing slightly. "Is this 'Martial Aunt' you speak of the one Junior Brother Jiang once mentioned, who gave him pointers in the Ten Thousand Ghost Cave back then?"
Jiang Che nodded in confirmation.
Chen Xingcai suddenly leaned close to Xiao Chen and lowered her voice mysteriously. "Senior Brother Xiao, that Martial Aunt looks very beautiful, wearing a plain dress like a fairy walking out of a painting..."
She deliberately dragged out the ending note. "It's just that when she spoke to me, I always felt an indescribable sense of familiarity~"
Ji Lingxiu said with a beaming smile, "Oh? It seems our Master is hiding quite a few stories."
Xiao Chen gave a light cough and wisely changed the subject. "Speaking of which, it is strange. Since it is our Martial Aunt, why has Master never mentioned it?"
"Could it be... some matters that cannot be casually mentioned..."
Several people instantly fell into silence, and a huge sense of crisis appeared in Chen Xingcai's heart.
Although that elder sister was also very beautiful, she still preferred the pairing of her own Master and Daddy.
