Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!

Chapter 1336: Chapter 997: Bottom Fishing

Thus, Jiang Yuan let the seven clones keep busy, and when he returned to prepare the banquet, he found the mountains and wilderness filled with cultivators sensing his aura.

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang, for your great blessing!"

There were already several thousand cultivators bound to the Cloud Concealment Sect as guests;

Not to mention Yan Xuan, who always liked to join in the fun, Shi Hu, who most loved eating, drinking, and leisure, and Ling Di, who chirped cheerfully and shouted loudly. This collective thanks resounded through the heavens and startled the unprepared Jiang Yuan.

He then realized—was it that the system reminded them when the lifespan subsidy was distributed on time?

How did it remind them?

He was very curious but felt embarrassed to ask directly.

"Thank you, sir, for bestowing such creation and lifespan. Hu Jiu cannot repay such a great favor!" Luckily, a straightforward little fox ran over and shouted.

She had received that Upgrade Card, jumping from the Eighth Layer of the Body Forging Realm to the Eighth Layer of Bone Refining Realm, and her lifespan had already increased significantly. Then she received an additional hundred-year lifespan, and joyfully bowed in thanks, saying, "Sir is able to invoke the Heavenly Dao Laws to extend our lifespan by a hundred years; truly miraculous means!"

Little Lark also bounced excitedly, "Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!"

Its realm is the lowest, so its lifespan is relatively short. If it cannot find the right magic technique for refining Vermilion Bird Divine Power, it can only take the ordinary Demon Cultivator path. This hundred-year life extension blessing could allow it to ascend another realm at a critical moment and live longer, gaining more possibilities.

For cultivators seeking immortality, lifespan has always been one of the most important goals.

Without mentioning the means of invoking the Heavenly Dao Laws for blessing, as long as they are righteous cultivators, they must express gratitude for such a great favor?

Jiang Yuan just saw the goodwill points skyrocketing, the scene akin to a web game where small monsters in the wilderness fall with a slash of 999+.

"Just happenstance, keep low key!" He hurriedly pressed his hands in the void, indicating to not make a fuss outside. Silent wealth accumulation was the way.

Last time, he received an Automatic Full Set, and the cooking Divine Artifact was used on a Level Ten stove, working beautifully.

No more scrambling at the stove, furiously clicking. In his leisure time, Jiang Yuan set the automatic cooking Divine Artifact to prepare meals and store them in the warehouse.

When needed, it could smoothly serve up steaming hot dishes for the banquet.

The evening banquet, upon invitation, was still held aboard Ling Di’s Menghua Treasure Ship.

The jewel-like Celestial River Ship gently sailed through the sky, its lights dazzling, each hall and window reflecting the guests’ merry shadows, with laughter and toasts filling the serene Divine Mountain.

"Having clones is great! Why didn’t I think to put them to use before?" Watching the ever-increasing lifespan balance, Jiang Yuan sincerely praised, feeling regret for not developing and using the received Divine Artifact sooner.

Of course, he didn’t use the Clone Arm Ring earlier entirely due to lifespan insufficiency anxiety.

Only when he could massively absorb the lifespan of Evil Cultivators, did he gradually adapt to this "striving for life" and "spending life" mode. Otherwise, without large quantities of lifespan income, the instinct for survival wouldn’t allow waste.

The celebratory feast with fine wines and distinguished guests lasted late into the night.

Du Li came over to get scolded and also incidentally enjoyed two meals, yet he still looked worried, with furrowed brows.

"Didn’t Mr. Jiang help you bring out all the Evil Cultivators in the Demon Realm Alliance? Why the worried look?" Qu Luming, having received a hundred-year lifespan, was in great spirits but couldn’t say it directly to the former self.

Leaning in slightly to pat Du Li’s shoulder, with a radiant smile, he said, "Come, I’ll drink with you more! Mr. Jiang’s personally brewed Spiritual Wine is considered Immortal Grade; drinking more is a gain!"

Du Li sipped lightly and whispered, "Have you heard any news from the Netherworld? I just learned that many small worlds are in turmoil and conflict is increasingly brewing, and the world may become even more chaotic."

Though small worlds are numerous, there is only one Netherworld.

Ghost Messengers are abundant, and wherever there is a need for the reincarnation of life in the Netherworld, they must guide spirits. With patience in inquiries, one can gather much latest news.

"Oh! What’s there to worry about," Qu Luming chuckled tipsily, waving his hand, "It’s not chaos, rather it’s a good thing this time!"

Seeing him well-informed, everyone perked their ears to listen.

Qu Luming saw this and cleared his throat, then stood up, speaking loudly, "Recently, for eradicating the Leisure Sect atop the Wilderness, Mr. Jiang has worked tirelessly, and the Demon Realm Alliance alone has removed many nails.

After Mr. Jiang, there are at least a hundred small worlds in recent days targeting the remnants of the Leisure Sect for extermination.

Fighting naturally brings casualties, but evil cannot defeat righteousness. I heard that many Evil Cultivators in the lightly invaded small worlds have already uprooted the Leisure Sect.

Following clues, they can also help other small worlds’ righteous cultivators find some leads.

This matter is quite strange, with the Netherworld praising the good cycle of Heavenly Dao. For instance, Evil Cultivators exposed on the Returning Cloud Star, simply because a group of Leisure Sect Evil Cultivators slaughtered mortals in a small town, then ran to a tavern to indulge in celebration, only for two drunken ones to leak their words, overheard by a nearby cultivator.

Originally undetectable, these few words raised suspicion leading to investigation, and it was indeed true!

That cultivator returned and captured the drunken Evil Cultivators, interrogated them under the influence of liquor, and they confessed everything, exposing other Leisure Sect members and deeds entirely.

Thus, an exterminating battle against evil cultivators unfolded.
