Way of Heaven

The innate spirit roots and outer spirit roots have continuously swallowed void essence for decades. They transformed the void essence into spirit qi and other energies, expanding the world.

The places that had spirit roots also had the densest concentration of spirit qi. The land would respond to the dense spirit qi, thus forming numerous blessed lands, fairylands, and secret realms of all sizes. 

Since the spirit roots were placed in enclosed dimensions personally by Mu Yuan, no living beings had discovered these blessed lands yet.

The spirit qi concentration in these blessed lands was shocking. Countless precious spiritual herbs and materials covered the earth.

Once a person begins cultivating in a blessed land, their cultivation efficiency and their chances of breaking through would increase drastically.

During the second descent of spirit qi, Mu Yuan decided to merge parts of the blessed land into the land of the Yuan World, giving opportunities for the Yuan World’s living beings to enter. As a result, more experts were born, making cultivation prosper.

Obviously, there was no such thing as free lunch in this world. If you want benefits, you naturally must go through many trials and dangers.

Under Mu Yuan’s direction, the heavenly brain arranged restrictions around the blessed land such as having vicious beasts guard the blessed land.

A spirit root with a higher grade naturally was in a blessed land with better resources. It also had more restrictions. If you were weak, then you were out of luck.

As for the innate spirit roots, it would be impossible for the current Yuan World creatures to obtain. 

The vicious beasts and monsters, living in the wilderness, were the first to make contact with the now accessible blessed lands.

Intelligent beasts, the term monsters was used as a collective term for countless small races. As long as a beast possessed intelligence, it could be called a monster.

There was inner friction between the monsters. Monsters were spread out in the Yuan World. The monsters didn’t have a fixed location like the human race or the feathered race. It was simply unreasonable to think of building a monster kingdom. There was only the occasional monster city in the Yuan World’s wilderness.

As soon as the blessed lands appeared, the dense concentration of spirit qi attracted many vicious beasts. They instinctively rushed towards the blessed lands, wanting to swallow and absorb the spiritual herbs and materials. The monster race was also heading towards the blessed land.

Heads of vicious beasts and monsters littered the blessed lands. Some died from the restrictions placed. Others died from inner conflict or fighting.

Of course, there were some vicious beasts and monsters that successfully passed through the trials and entered the blessed land. They devoured the spirit herbs and medicine.

Gulp. Gulp.

Already powerful before, some of the vicious beasts and monsters, after devouring the spirit herbs, acquired strength equal to the transformation realm. Some of them had even undergone several transformations. 

The strength of the transformation realm gave some monsters an idea. They were not willing to be satisfied with hiding in small cities in the wilderness. They wanted to build a kingdom of monsters!

Human Race. Cang dynasty. East of Heaven Ridge.

In Heaven Ridge, five transformation realm monsters led several thousand monsters and countless vicious beasts towards the east of the Cang dynasty. It was a large-scale invasion.

In just a few days, a wave of beasts swept through several human cities in the east. A vassal nation had been obliterated by the beast tide. Nearly a hundred thousand people died untimely, violent deaths.

The vassal countries lord, a transformation realm expert, was besieged and murdered by the five lead monsters.

Afterwards, the five monsters declared to the world the establishment of their kingdom, the Desolate Monster Kingdom.

The Emperor of the Cang dynasty, hearing of the destruction of the vassal country Qing and the establishment of the kingdom, was furious. He immediately summoned all the lords and sent an army to conquer the kingdom of monsters. 

The Cang dynasty’s hundreds of thousands of troops slaughtered and beheaded monsters and vicious beasts.

In the end, the troops marched and surrounded the monsters.

It was a slaughter. Four of the five transformation realms monsters were beheaded on the spot. The remaining one, a flare eagle, fled with severe injuries, flying away.

However, the Cang dynasty’s experts didn’t want to let it flee. Several transformation experts led dozens of warriors to chase it.

When the experts returned, they not only brought the flare eagle’s head but also brought news of a blessed land! There was spirit fruit!

Certain spirit fruit could allow one to enter the transformation realm. A blessed land had countless treasures, herbs, and a dense concentration of spirit qi. It was truly a treasure!

The benefits of the blessed land shook the Cang dynasty. They also realized why a number of transformation realm monsters appeared at once.

The Cang dynasty frantically searched for traces of blessed lands, wanting to control as many as possible. 

Gradually, the news of the blessed lands became common knowledge to the races in the Yuan World. The benefits made all the races frantically search for blessed lands. They were competing with the other races now.

The Yuan World had entered into an Era of Conquest.

In the beginning, the races were restrained, only battling out in small areas for blessed land. The casualties were small.

However, the division of blessed lands only deepened conflicts causing a bloody storm that engulfed almost all the races.

A race, dissatisfied with how another race was trying to take over a blessed land they had their eyes on, attacked. The other race retaliated. 

The battle between the races gradually escalated, the force on both sides increasing. Both sides started roping in their allies… Scenes like this started repeating around the world.

In the end, the races of the Yuan World were swept into a world war. Their eyes bloodshot, their hatred just as deep as their greed, the races were determined to seize those damned blessed lands. Conquest!

The races used all sorts of methods to suppress the enemy and enhance their strength. Weak races either joined stronger races or went extinct, burned by the flames of war.

War brightened the road of cultivation. One after another, transformation experts were born. Cultivation leaders like Feng Yu were already starting to march to a higher realm!

One transformation, two transformations, ten transformations! Under the pressure of continuous fighting, the transformation realm became a staple.

After decades of war with other races, the major races had already sorted how strong each other were. They had established a ranking order.

At the top were the ten strongest races. The feathered race, the human race, the sea race, etc. possessed over half of the total number of transformation realm experts in the Yuan World. They possessed an abundance of resources, establishing massive dynasties and occupying large amounts of territory.

Below were a hundred races grouped together as the hundred races. These races also had transformation realm experts and many resources.

At the bottom were the rest of the races. These races were weak and attached themselves to the stronger races by paying large amounts of resources to them for protection against vicious beasts and other races.

This was an era of war, of conquest!

In this war, countless beings died, transforming into Origin Energy and being fed into the Yuan World.

The Origin Lake had once again filled up. Mu Yuan, seeing this, waved his sleeve, and Origin Energy in the lake flooded into the world. The edges of the Yuan World began to expand, expand, expand…
