Time passed quickly, with a month flying by in the blink of an eye.
[Sword Intent: IV131 (1.2 million/4.1 million)]
[Void Transformation]
Level: IV131
Transformation Speed: 12/1 day
As the month passed, the world’s foundation also increased to 606 points, getting closer to the next milestone of a thousand points.
At the same time, the Daxia Immortal Sect had already settled into its rhythm.
Out of the hundred thousand disciples, most had completed their breakthroughs. Those with higher-quality spiritual roots absorbed Spiritual Fluid at a faster rate, and a portion of them had already begun their explorations.
Among them was the most talented disciple, Hong Tian.
Upon entering the Demonic Beast Small World, he embarked on his journey to collect resources.
Su Yang refrained from making judgments about his luck, but one thing was for sure, Hong Tian was extremely diligent and dedicated.
After entering the Demonic Beast Small World, he ventured into various dangerous areas and engaged in battles with demonic beasts, amassing a substantial amount of spiritual resources.
Lower-tier spiritual root disciples had just broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, while under Hong Tian’s relentless efforts, he not only brought back resources but also entered the Spiritual Fluid Pool for cultivation, advancing all the way to the Perfection of Foundation Establishment stage. This accomplishment was not only due to his hard work but also related to his own talent.
For every 100 points of sect contribution Hong Tian earned, he could access the Gold Core-level Spiritual Fluid Pool for one day.
According to Su Yang’s rules, one could obtain one contribution point for every Lower-tier Foundation Establishment spiritual item, five points for Mid-tier, ten points for Upper-tier, and twenty points for Top-tier, and a whopping one hundred points for a Lower-tier Gold Core spiritual item.
In reality, Su Yang’s rule was quite lenient towards these disciples. Otherwise, it would have been nearly impossible for them to acquire so many contribution points through Lower-tier Foundation Establishment spiritual items.
Su Yang’s intention was to accelerate their growth and reward their efforts, but he also wanted to ensure they didn’t receive benefits without effort. This was why he didn’t promote them directly to the Gold Core stage.
Hong Tian’s cultivation progress in the Spiritual Fluid Pool was undoubtedly the most outstanding among the current disciples.
Even with the same amount of time spent in the Gold Core-level Spiritual Fluid Pool, there was a stark difference in the amount of spiritual energy absorbed between disciples with Lower-tier and Top-tier spiritual roots.
Good talent always had its advantages.
However, in the Daxia Immortal Sect, there was a chance to compensate for shortcomings in talent. With enough sect contribution points, one could request the intervention of the Heavenly Path to enhance their spiritual roots.
Currently, all one hundred thousand Daxia Immortal Sect disciples were on the right track, venturing into the Demonic Beast Small World.
Following Su Yang’s instructions, Gu Xiu had established the Sword Holder department.
Currently, there were a thousand Sword Holders, all of them reaching the Perfection of Gold Core stage in strength.
Throughout the entire Daxia Immortal Sect, Gu Xiu was the main administrator. Matters he couldn’t handle would be reported to Su Yang.
For incidents requiring the Sword Holders’ intervention, Su Yang would not be bothered unless they were truly dire.
To Su Yang, the Daxia Immortal Sect was just an auxiliary force, a way to resolve conflicts within the world while also accelerating the world’s advancement. He would not focus all his attention on the sect.
No matter how many methods and arrangements he had, the core goal was still to enhance his Sword Intent.
However, he had been somewhat dissatisfied with the speed of his Sword Intent improvement recently.
In a month’s time, he had only advanced by three levels.
If he could obtain the materials to forge a spiritual sword and wield it, his progress might see a significant boost.
Currently, he could wield 360,000 swords in a day. With a spiritual sword, he might be able to unleash the power of 3.6 million swords, which would restore his advancement rate to one level per day.
For the Daxia world to cultivate materials that reached the Nascent Soul level would likely take some time, at least after the world’s promotion.
To obtain Nascent Soul-level materials ahead of time, he would have to rely on the sect disciples discovering such spiritual items.
He had no intention of aimlessly searching like a headless fly. Although he could wield his swords while searching, if he left the Daxia world, he couldn’t continue using Vacuum Conversion, and the world wouldn’t gain any more source energy.
When the sect disciples found spiritual items and had a clear target, he would intervene directly, significantly increasing efficiency.
Having organized his thoughts, Su Yang decided on this course of action. Simultaneously, he set up a task board within the sect’s Sword Net, with the first task being to search for locations containing Nascent Soul-level spiritual materials. Even if it was a suspected location, as long as they discovered Top-tier Nascent Soul-grade spiritual ores, they would receive special attention and gain resources that could lead them directly to Nascent Soul Perfection.
Although the world’s source energy could not elevate a person to the Nascent Soul Perfection stage at the moment, Su Yang believed it was only a matter of time.
Moreover, with the current strength of the Daxia Immortal Sect disciples, it would be extremely difficult for them to find Nascent Soul-level material locations unless their luck was extraordinary.
With these arrangements in place, Su Yang waited quietly, his swords at the ready.
As all the Daxia Immortal Sect disciples exited seclusion and entered the Demonic Beast Small World, Su Yang noticed a conspicuous increase in the world’s foundation.
Realizing this change, Su Yang ceased using the world’s source energy to increase the foundation and instead focused on strengthening the roots.
While it was relatively easy for the disciples to acquire foundation-related spiritual items in the Demonic Beast Small World, acquiring root-related items was far more challenging. They would encounter tremendous resistance, and it was even possible they wouldn’t find any root-related spiritual items at all.
In such circumstances, Su Yang certainly wouldn’t cultivate foundation-related spiritual items anymore.
The Daxia world only had one root-related spiritual item, the World Heart, located at the very center of the planet. This was something every planet possessed.
Generally, when the world advanced, individuals would cultivate their initial root-related spiritual item.
Creating more root-related spiritual items was an extremely difficult task.
All the disciples of the Daxia Immortal Sect, from the top to the bottom, were kept busy.
The one thousand Sword Holders were working diligently.
The one hundred thousand disciples had surged into the Demonic Beast Small World, each with their own choices.
There were two major categories of choices: exploration and scouting.
Exploration meant searching for spiritual items and collecting them personally.
Scouting involved locating spiritual items, reporting them to the sect, and allowing Sword Holders to handle the retrieval.
The first option offered higher rewards, while the second was lower risk. If they could swiftly identify numerous spiritual items, the rewards would still be substantial.
However, exploring the world always came with risks. Even with Sword
Holders available for rescue, there would still be casualties. After all, the Demonic Beast Small World was not completely safe, even for Su Yang himself.
In most cases, gains were balanced by risks.
Su Yang was not their babysitter; he provided opportunities, allowing them to make their own choices. He ensured their safety as best as he could, and that was sufficient.
In the blink of an eye, another half-month passed.
The Daxia Immortal Sect disciples continued to expand their explorations within the Demonic Beast Small World.
Hong Tian, this monstrous talent, had broken through to the Early Gold Core stage under the support of the Spiritual Fluid Pool and the Enlightenment Pool. In just half a month, he had pulled ahead of everyone else, including the Sword Holders.
In this short span, the foundation-type attributes of the world had reached their maximum value and were still increasing..
