Chapter 694: Chapter 351: Ding Xing Entering the Dao

With the arrangement and allocation of the Magical Treasure Space complete, everyone was overjoyed.

For the Commerce Association, this undoubtedly meant they now had ample space to store all kinds of supplies.

With the influx of many factions, the "greeting gifts" they brought piled up like mountains. Many of the previous storehouses had long been filled, and they were constantly searching for new ones to use.

The amount of Cultivation Immortality Spiritual Items Cheng Zongyang brought back this time was immense.

The Magical Treasure Space was like a timely rain, solving the storage problem, and its security was beyond question.

With this vast, six-hundred-mu territory, the storehouse problems of the Commerce Association and the gang were no longer a concern.

Cheng Zongwen immediately dispatched a large number of people to enter the Magical Treasure Space and begin a complete overhaul. Not only were the Commerce Association’s storehouses undergoing intensive renovations, but the gang’s storehouses were also being worked on simultaneously.

Meanwhile, Cheng Zongyang was busy handling his own affairs.

Soon, he arrived at the underground passage space in Tiantuan Village.

This was where the Commerce Association and the gang stored their silver taels and gold.

It was guarded by Cheng Yuanfeng and his men.

The people from the Cheng Family’s Earth Branch Lineage were currently organizing the newly delivered gold and silver.

When Cheng Yuanfeng saw Cheng Zongyang arrive, he hurried forward to report, "Young Clan Leader, these silver taels and gold are what remain after all the various business expenditures, plus some greeting gifts from other factions. In total, it comes to thirty-seven million silver taels and twenty thousand gold."

Cheng Zongyang nodded slightly. "I understand. Do the Cheng Family, the Commerce Association, and the gang not need to use any of this gold and silver at the moment?"

Cheng Yuanfeng nodded. "That’s right. This is what was sent over after deducting all expenditures and reserve funds."

Hearing this, Cheng Zongyang unhesitatingly absorbed the gold and silver into the Realm of Ten Thousand Races, preparing to offer them as a sacrifice later.

The development of the Realm of Ten Thousand Races required vast amounts of gold and silver, and he was prepared to sacrifice all the gold and silver from the entire Martial Arts Realm and Cultivation Immortality Realm to restore it.

Gold and silver were currency, but in the future, the currency would be determined by him.

Watching all the gold and silver in the underground space disappear, Cheng Yuanfeng did not show much surprise. He simply said:

"Young Clan Leader, Steward Zhou mentioned before that a large amount of wealth would be coming in later, likely from those thirty-seven factions that have moved in. I’m worried there won’t be enough space here."

Cheng Zongyang smiled. "It’s fine. The storehouse issue has been resolved. The Commerce Association and the gang will have a place to store things in the future."

"That’s good." Cheng Yuanfeng breathed a sigh of relief.

Cheng Zongyang didn’t stay much longer. After offering them some guidance on their cultivation, he returned to the Cheng Residence to enter seclusion.

Entering the Realm of Ten Thousand Races, Cheng Zongyang first sacrificed the silver and gold.

He did not choose to expand the headquarters’ territory, instead turning his attention to Territory Number Two.

’I have my own considerations. The headquarters’ territory isn’t a priority. Expanding Territory Number Two, on the other hand, can lay the foundation for future development. Right now, Territory Number Two is only fifteen thousand kilometers, and it needs to be much larger.’

However, this was only to prepare for the expansion; it didn’t mean he would enlarge the existing barrier just yet.

Following the sacrifice of thirty-seven million silver taels, Territory Number Two rapidly expanded, growing by thirty-seven thousand kilometers.

The gold sacrifice only restored a tiny percentage, an almost negligible amount. But the importance of mineral resources to the Realm of Ten Thousand Races was self-evident. Seeing the recovery rate from twenty thousand gold, he worried that all the gold in the Martial Arts Realm and the Cultivation Immortality Realm might not be enough for a full restoration.

Overall, however, Cheng Zongyang was satisfied as he watched the territory change before him.

But then he looked at the map, at the black, uncontrolled regions several times larger than Territory Number Two, and was left speechless.

"Just how big is this Realm of Ten Thousand Races?" Cheng Zongyang sighed.

After sacrificing the gold and silver, Cheng Zongyang left the Altar Space and went to the Cultivation Technique Room on the first floor.

Ding Xing, who had been sitting cross-legged in a Daoist School meditation, sensed Cheng Zongyang’s arrival and was waiting for him at the door.

When Cheng Zongyang pushed the door open and entered, Ding Xing cupped his fist in a salute. "My Lord!"

Cheng Zongyang nodded slightly and pulled up Ding Xing’s Attribute Interface to inspect it.

However, when he saw how different the Attribute Interface had become, he was stunned.

——

Name: Ding Xing (High Tier)

Realm: Entering the Dao

Cultivation Technique: Celestial Human Health Cultivation Skill

Divine Abilities: None

Skills:

Qihuang Technique (11,986/20,000, Master); Nourishing Life Method (2,346/3,000, Middle Level); Calm Concentration (167/1,000, Beginner Level);

Attribute Talents: Outstanding Comprehension; Enlightenment;

——

Gazing at Ding Xing’s completely different Attribute Interface, Cheng Zongyang slowly turned to face him:

"How are you feeling now, in terms of your cultivation? Or have there been any changes to your abilities?"

He really didn’t understand Dao Cultivators. But he did know that in the end, a Dao Cultivator would become a god, while an Immortality Cultivator would become an immortal. God and immortal—they were two different cultivation systems. Although the powers they controlled might lead to the same destination by different paths, there were still some differences.

Ding Xing had a very transcendental aura about him. It reminded Cheng Zongyang of the Sect Leader of the Infinite Daoist Sect he had met in Ice City.

They seemed to have a similar aura, as if they were the same type of person.

Hearing this, Ding Xing understood what Cheng Zongyang meant and said with a slight smile:

"My Lord, Dao Cultivation and Cultivation Immortality are completely different. Dao Cultivation is about comprehension, state of mind, and philosophical enlightenment. Now that I have abandoned Martial Arts for the Dao, I can be considered a true beginner who has just come into contact with the Dao. My strength is the same as a mortal’s. I have no Martial Arts Cultivation, let alone Cultivation of Immortality. I am just an ordinary Dao Cultivator. Dao Cultivators seek to comprehend the Heaven and Earth Great Dao. After reaching the Sixth Realm, Touched the Dao, I might gain some different abilities.

However, according to the records, in the two realms of Enlightenment and Attaining the Dao, more and stronger Daoist Skills will manifest. Further beyond that lies the power of Divine Abilities, which is the control of rules. For now, Entering the Dao has only given me greater focus and made it easier to enter a state of calm meditation."
