Practice begins with immortality

Three months later, above the vast Ji family territory, a tense and busy scene unfolded before everyone's eyes.

A Nascent Soul cultivator dressed in civilian attire and with an elegant demeanor stood on a high platform. He solemnly issued orders to a group of powerful Spiritualization cultivators standing beside him: "Everyone from the third to seventh pioneer groups, you will immediately lead your personnel to the border areas of the Ji family's sphere of influence to deploy defenses. Do not slack off in the slightest!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he added, "The rest of the people will be responsible for carefully counting the existing resources and searching for high-level innate spiritual objects. This is an order from the Lord of the Realm himself, and we must complete the task!"

However, at this moment, a Divine Transformation cultivator suddenly stepped out from the crowd and asked the Nascent Soul cultivator with a worried look on his face, "Director, relying solely on cultivators like us to guard such a vast border of the Ji family's influence, will there really be no problems? You know, this border area occupies nearly a quarter of the area of ​​a large world!"

The words of this Divine Transformation cultivator were like a stone that stirred up a thousand waves, instantly resonating with the surrounding cultivators. Another Divine Transformation cultivator echoed, "Yes, yes, Director! This border is simply too long, stretching hundreds of thousands of light years. We, Divine Transformation and Void Refinement cultivators alone, are severely understaffed to defend it!"

It turned out that the person who spoke was a member of a pioneering group from the Eight Desolate Realm. To them, the Eight Desolate Realm itself was immense, and the areas they had explored so far were merely the tip of the iceberg. Now, being assigned to guard the Ji Clan's border, stretching hundreds of thousands of light years, they inevitably felt a sense of trepidation. After all, facing such a long and complex defense line, the slightest mistake could lead to irreversible consequences.

"Don't worry, everyone. You just need to patrol the border. If you encounter a master who breaks in by force, someone will take care of it."

"However, with the current prestige of the Realm Lord, high-level cultivators from the outside world will basically have no problems as long as they haven't lost their minds."

Hearing this, everyone felt relieved. After all, at this moment, the Realm Master was the embodiment of invincibility in their hearts.

Afterwards, everyone went about their tasks in an orderly manner. After all, these were already the property of the Eight Desolate Realm.

At the same time, in the Yaotianyu Realm, a heated conversation was taking place in a somewhat simple temporary office.

A middle-aged man with gray hair and a weathered face shouted angrily at the communication magic weapon in his hand, "What? We need another two million skilled workers and monks who are proficient in formations or refining? What a joke! You're short of people over there, but don't I need them here too?"

He complained, rubbing his temples irritably, and continued, "I've even recruited ordinary citizens from the city to help with the reception. I'm even on the verge of forcibly pulling in students who haven't yet graduated from school and personnel from the treaty ports to make up the numbers!"

At this point, the middle-aged man couldn't help but sigh heavily and continued to roar: "Huh? You actually said you wanted to bring all the students over? I just mentioned it casually, I didn't expect you to actually want to do this!

However, as if he had thought of something, he suddenly paused, then nodded thoughtfully and said, "Hmm... However, if the acceptance work is included in the students' grade and credit assessment system, it would be a good idea. Okay, then it's settled!"

Afterwards, the middle-aged man calmed down a bit and responded, "Okay, I'll go and announce it right away. Then, we'll have these newly recruited personnel transit through the Tianyuan Realm's teleportation array before arriving here."

Then, as if remembering something important, he frowned and asked, "By the way, when can we build a large-scale magic circle that leads directly to the Eight Desolate Realm? Relying on this transit mode of transportation is too slow. If we could achieve dual-line transportation, efficiency would definitely be greatly improved."

At this moment, a deep voice came from the other end of the line: "I've heard before that there's a place called Yaoxinghai in the world. It's said that many top formation masters gather there. Perhaps we can consider outsourcing some of the engineering projects to them."

.........................

Everything the Ji and Ye families had was a huge piece of fat meat for the entire Eight Desolate Realm! It could be said that they had become rich overnight.

In addition to the Eight Desolate Realm, the major forces in the Tianyuan Realm that built the teleportation array also made considerable profits.

They have made a fortune simply by acting as a transit station and collecting resource fees for using the teleportation array, and wealth has continuously flowed into their pockets.

It's worth noting that pioneering teams often face a shortage of manpower upon reaching their destination. Therefore, while waiting for transport, they often choose to recruit Jindan and Yuanying stage cultivators from local sects to join them on their journey. This can be considered a win-win opportunity for both the sects and the cultivators within them.

For these cultivators, they no longer had to endure life-or-death struggles. Instead, they could obtain precious cultivation resources by spending eight hours daily performing relatively easy tasks such as patrolling, inventorying and receiving supplies, and participating in infrastructure construction. Compared to accepting dangerous and low-reward missions within the sect, this method was clearly much safer and more stable.

As a result, many monks from the sects had this idea in mind: "If that's the case, why should we stay in the sect and work so hard to complete those difficult tasks? The treatment here is obviously much better!" In this way, more and more monks resolutely followed the pioneering team and left their original sects.

As for Tongtian Sect and other major forces, these disciples who go out for training will eventually return to the sect or family.

A place that can train disciples for free is undoubtedly extremely beneficial to any faction, saving a lot of resources and energy.

In addition, the ancestors of various families and sects have already issued strict orders, requiring close cooperation with the Eight Desolate Realm.

In particular, the Qianyuan Chamber of Commerce's highly respected Tribulation-crossing ancestor, Qian Zun, even personally emerged from seclusion to specifically instruct the leaders of the various factions within the chamber. He warned them to focus solely on conducting normal business transactions with the Eight Desolate Realm and to avoid any distractions or attempts to manipulate the chamber to bring unnecessary trouble and disaster upon it.
