Lin Ye's Daoist power is similarly both offensive and defensive.
It can not only reflect attacks, but also gather and release its own power.
It could even be used to gather the enemy's forces and launch an attack.
It seems to be restrained by the laws of space, but otherwise it is very useful.
But it's not a big problem.
Lin Ye is still exploring; his dynasty has not yet stabilized, and his power may continue to expand, perhaps even becoming stronger.
His newly established dynasty is still being built little by little.
But for Lin Ye, many things in this dynasty were not multiple-choice questions, but rather open-ended questions.
For example, an absolute monarchy with absolute authority and a well-functioning state apparatus have overlapping functions. As a monarch, how can you ensure that they complement each other rather than harm each other?
In a world where power is the ultimate measure of social hierarchy, should this dynasty retain some idealism?
How to balance the relationship between mortals and cultivators, etc.
Lin Ye was very clear-headed. He already had the answer in his heart: to lay out the basic framework according to his own ideas and then move forward without hesitation.
He is indeed taking the time to grasp the direction.
Half a month later.
The Little Celestial Court, the Secluded Chamber.
Lin Ye let out a breath to relieve the soreness all over his body.
His recovery speed was indeed fast, but the consumption of this breakthrough was even faster, almost like working in a factory for a month straight in his first life.
For the past two weeks, Lin Ye has been operating the "Great Freedom Method" as planned, converting his excess lifespan into Qi Refining levels.
Lin Ye's mental age limit is currently 25184 years.
However, after he continued to refine the primordial yin power of the Heavenly Pillar God and the Earthly Pillar God and broke through to the second level of the Divine Transformation Realm, his lifespan increased by another 10000 years, and now it has reached as many as 61000 years.
Lin Ye plans to consume 60,000 years of his lifespan in one go, converting it all into Qi Refining levels!
Keeping so much is pointless.
We must get straight to the point.
At the beginning of this seclusion, Lin Ye's initial Qi Refining level was 9000 years.
It's called the beginning, but it's already a long way off.
Xiao Huangzhou set up the Spirit Gathering Array to serve Lin Ye in his seclusion. After only a few days, Lin Ye's Qi Refining level exceeded 10000, and then the pressure increased sharply!
The "Great Freedom Method," which originally maintained a stable rate of one level of Qi Refining Foundation per year, has begun to show fluctuations in the exchange rate between lifespan and Qi Refining level!
Lin Ye had anticipated this, but still found it difficult.
Raising the level of Qi Refining is like building a foundation; as you drill deeper and deeper, the ground becomes harder and harder.
To increase efficiency, we need to upgrade to better excavation equipment.
In other words, it means sacrificing more years of lifespan to refine one more level of Qi Refining, such as changing to a new level every two or three years.
That's such a loss!
Lin Ye has no intention of agreeing to a 1:1 exchange rate.
However, if this exchange rate is maintained, the rate of improvement in the number of gas refining layers is gradually slowing down.
Lin Ye had the feeling that he owned a huge construction site!
It's certainly good to own the land, but he's all alone, with only a few deities leading him to drive piles on the construction site. The desert is vast and desolate, and the setting sun hangs high over the long river.
This won't work...
We have to think of something!
Lin Ye tried the Discipline Star, but couldn't break through it at all while inside.
"I have a way." The Emperor pondered for a moment.
"Collect the souls of 100,000 young boys and girls at the tenth level of Qi Refining, refine them with demonic energy, and I can take care of it for you!"
Lin Ye thought to himself, "Very well, this trick won't work."
To put it another way, finding 100,000 Qi Refining Level 10 cultivators is no easy feat.
Even if we take a step back, this is not a long-term solution. The difficulty of Lin Ye's Qi Refining level improvement is increasing exponentially, and who knows how many people will need to do it in the future.
Lin Ye thanked the Martial Emperor and turned to find his good master.
The Lord of the Great Wilderness pondered for a moment and said, "Of course I have a way."
"If Lin'er can temporarily suppress her Qi Refining level by 10,000 levels and then break through, it will be much easier."
Lin Ye thought to herself, "That won't work either!"
If an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator wanted to suppress the Dao Foundation of the Qi Refining level within his body, it would be very difficult, as it would have long since been completely integrated into his essence, qi, and spirit.
Lin Ye's internal environment is even more complex than that of a cultivator who has mastered the Great Perfection of Demonic Arts and devoured all things.
Indeed, everyone has their own path.
Lin Ye thanked his master and decided that this time he would do it himself and be self-reliant.
It might be difficult to suppress the existing Qi Refining level using spiritual energy.
But if you start with the concept, it's much easier!
Suppressing existing Qi Refining cultivation conceptually would be much better.
Only by using concepts as plotting points can the exponentially increasing difficulty of Qi Refining levels be most easily limited.
After some consideration, Lin Ye concluded that the main abilities he could currently control that allowed him to access concepts were:
The power of faith, or what we might call the will of the people, is a concept that can be theoretically grasped.
And the dynastic principles.
However, neither of them can currently help with breaking through to the next Qi Refining level.
Fortunately, there's still one more trick...
With a thought, a halo of merit appeared behind Lin Ye's head.
That's right, this is the great merit gained from eliminating the evil immortal, which can be used to make a wish!
Lin Ye kept it for this kind of situation, because he needed to solve the problem once and for all and pave the way for the Endless Qi Refining Method.
Rumble...
The thunder rumbled nine times, subtly corresponding to the extreme number nine.
Auspicious clouds rolled in, and golden light shone on the earth. In some places where Lin Ye had stayed, golden lotuses sprang from the ground.
This is an indication that someone is about to make a grand vow.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged, all things revived, and everything in this world was nourished.
Suddenly, a faint, booming voice came from the darkness.
"I will not rest until the bloodshed is over; I vow to eliminate evil and calamity without mercy."
"The whole world responds in unison, together building the eternal bridge to heaven."
"I am Lin Ye. Feeling the suffering of all living beings in the world seeking the Dao, I have decided to completely change the cultivation rules of the Qi Refining realm during my lifetime!"
At this moment, a clearer, more melodious voice rang out, taking the opportunity to deliver a message: "I am Huang."
"Like my beloved disciple, I also feel the suffering of all living beings in heaven and earth seeking the Dao. A year from now, I will preach in the northwest corner of the Eastern Divine Continent, and all people are welcome to come and listen."
The words of Lin Ye and his apprentice caused a huge uproar.
Upon hearing that Lin Ye had changed the cultivation rules for the Qi Refining stage, all the Qi Refining cultivators became restless. They left their caves, exchanged ideas, consulted the Desolate Curse, and discussed the specific changes.
People quickly came to a conclusion.
The higher the Qi Refining level, the easier it is to break through!
Specifically, the difficulty of breaking through to the ninth level of Qi Refining has become almost the same as breaking through to the sixth level of Qi Refining.
The difficulty of breakthroughs throughout the Qi Refining stage became very even.
As a result, everyone who can reach the first level of Qi Refining has the potential to establish their foundation.
In an ordinary gathering place of independent cultivators in the Eastern Divine Continent, countless cultivators walked through the streets and alleys, spreading the news and weeping with joy.
"I also have a chance to establish my foundation!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
As the lowest-level independent cultivators, they couldn't possibly be unaware of what Lin Ye's grand ambition meant.
The difficulty of foundation building has been greatly reduced.
The obstacle that seemed insurmountable to them until their death suddenly became so close!
"Have we returned to the Immortal Ancient Era?!" a rogue cultivator exclaimed, pounding his chest.
Another person exclaimed, "If His Majesty wants to sleep with my wife, I'll offer my daughter up with me!"
A friend next to me reminded me, "You should find a partner first."
The man was startled: "Who, who said I didn't? You just haven't seen it!"
Across the continent, countless people are offering their heartfelt prayers.
The numerous wishes resonated so deeply that prayers and sacrificial chants echoed everywhere.
Even with nearly ruined innate five spiritual roots, one can still break through to the first level of Qi Refining with a little effort.
Even a useless spiritual root can break through to the first level of Qi Refining if it is forced to be instilled.
So, theoretically, even those destined to be mortals now have a chance to turn their lives around?
The one that escaped from the forty-nine Heavenly Dao can even be taken care of by mortals!
"Your Majesty, have mercy..." In the mortal dynasty, countless people with a heart yearning for the Dao shed tears.
In the mortal realm, a commoner cultivator from the Ye family was secretly lamenting, "It's a pity I've already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining and was just about to prepare for Foundation Establishment when I heard this news!"
"It took so much effort, what a pity... His Majesty was born before I was born, His Majesty was born after I was old!"
He secretly circulated his energy, and suddenly the energy within his body surged, and he was about to break through to the tenth level of Qi Refining!
Suppressing his joy, the Ye family cultivator disregarded his breakthrough and quickly activated the Desolate Curse to send out his discovery.
"Your Majesty, please have mercy! I have broken through to the tenth level of Qi Refining!"
Originally, his aptitude was far from reaching the tenth level of Qi Refining!
The news began to spread like wildfire on Huangzhou.
People quickly understood Lin Ye's second good intention.
"Your Majesty's plans are so far-reaching! I truly underestimated Your Majesty's vision!"
From now on, everyone will be able to build a more solid foundation!
Although everyone is in the same boat, how could people not be more favorable towards something that benefits almost everyone's future cultivation?
After this second layer of dissemination spread, Lin Ye gained another wave of popularity.
But they are only on the second level.
"Sigh..." The emperor of the Jiuli Immortal Dynasty stood with his hands behind his back, his long sleeves fluttering in the wind.
He squinted at the distance, sensing something was wrong.
"Father, why did Lin Ye make such a wish? Shouldn't he use his ambition to improve his own strength?"
The little princess couldn't help but ask curiously, her eyes sparkling, "Why should we pay attention to those Qi Refining cultivators who have nothing to do with him?"
The Emperor of Jiuli shook his head slightly: "You don't understand, this person has a very long-term vision."
"The will of the people is our strength, and it is our future."
"Oh, I thought it was because he was really confident of victory..." The little princess seemed to understand but not quite.
"No." Upon hearing this, the Emperor of Jiuli sadly closed his eyes.
