Brother Cheng touched his nose, was just this little reward able to satisfy them so much?

It was just 1 point of merit.

Even with his thick skin, he felt a rare hint of remorse.

Thinking about how he had been busy showing off lately, neglecting the care for the kids, he really needed to reflect on himself.

So, he continued to work hard, spending 100,000 merit points to upgrade this immortal stone vein from Level 1 to Level 6.

In an instant, the surroundings of the vein for hundreds of millions of miles became flourishing.

Some immortal herbs and spiritual materials started to sprout, becoming the first immortal realm within the Xuanji diagram space!

This made the two kids even happier.

"Dad, you're amazing!"

"Well, it's a must!"

Brother Cheng felt gratified and rubbed Xiaobai's head.

"Mom's quite capable, huh? I thought Mom wasn't up to it anymore..."

"When have I ever not been up to it? Explain it clearly to me!"

Brother Cheng's face was filled with black lines, and he retreated from the Xuanji diagram space with a look of resignation.

Looking at his empty immortal country, he began to consider how to develop it further.

With the improvement of the Immortal Kings' own strength, the immortal country itself would undergo certain changes.

A ninth-grade Immortal King, unless the limit of his innate Dao foundation is at the Sumeru level, would never have an immortal country weaker than the extraordinary level no matter how weak it was.

But Brother Cheng's immortal country's limit was at the Divine Communication level, relying solely on personal upgrades is definitely far from enough.

Besides that, it's just about enduring over time.

As time goes by, the world of the immortal country itself will slowly evolve.

This is also why the strength of some veteran Immortal Kings is generally stronger.

If not for the limitations of the innate Dao foundation, the immortal realm would probably favor those who live the longest.

However, how could Brother Cheng possibly wait for a process that lasts billions of years or more?

He could only consider alternative methods.

Shaping an immortal country can also be achieved through a third method, using treasures to catalyze the evolutionary process.

The immortal country itself is an unconventional small world, and any treasure that reaches the level of an immortal artifact can stimulate it.

He opened the system warehouse and extracted hundreds of 1st- to 4th-tier immortal artifacts and magical treasures that he had drawn before.

These were drawn, and cannot be exchanged for merit, so they were a form of waste utilization.

Over three hundred immortal artifacts and more than two hundred magical treasures were thrown into the immortal country and were quickly decomposed into nothing.

Soon after, the originally empty 'world' seemed to accelerate by ten million times, quickly forming some dust elements.

It went from the empty Sumeru stage to the extraordinary stage.

These dust particles drifted aimlessly without any pattern.

He sensed slightly, the power of the immortal country indeed increased a lot, but it was still far from reaching the next dustless stage.

This breakthrough took quite some time, and when he returned to the Moon Immortal Palace, there was no one left.

Picking a direction, he set off back on his journey.

During the time with the Enlightenment Immortal Tree, the entire Middle Immortal Realm was also in an uproar.

The opportunity to ascend to the Upper Immortal Realm came once every hundred thousand years, and the deadline for the current session was drawing increasingly near.

Jiang Cheng entered during the first decade of the Enlightenment Immortal Tree's period, which was exactly when the Immortal Fate Order was revealed.

As usual, many immortals gathered in front of the Immortal Fate List to watch.

"I heard Feixian Sect in the Qianlan Celestial Realm bought 3,300 Immortal Fate Orders, there will be a big reveal there this time."

"Yeah, I don't know what kind of madness they're going through."

"This is literally seeking death, it's just that with over a hundred years left, everyone is not in a hurry to snatch..."

"It's out, it's out!"

"The Immortal Fate List is lighting up!"

Everyone looked up at the massive immortal jade stele, watching the small points of light appear quickly...

A moment later, the crowd was in an uproar!

"How come it's only this many?"

"Counted, at most there are only about 31,000 pieces, right?"

"No, this isn't right!"

"I came to see it during the last decade too; back then there were at least over 330,000!"

"Where did those 300,000 go?"

"Could they have been destroyed?"

"Immortal Fate Orders cannot be destroyed, not even hidden by an Immortal King's nation!"

"How come the Feixian Sect's side is all dark too, weren't they said to have 3,300 pieces?"

"Yeah, where did those Immortal Fate Orders go?"

What happened here quickly spread throughout the Middle Immortal Realm.

For a time, countless people were shocked by this.

To lose 300,000 Immortal Fate Orders out of thin air was a monumental event.

That meant a drastic reduction in positions, reducing by tenfold; many Immortal Venerables who had a good chance to enter the Upper Immortal Realm were certainly not able to ascend this time.

Various speculations and rumors were rampant.

Some suspected the Immortal Fate Orders were hidden by special means; others wondered if there was an error with the Immortal Fate List.

Some even speculated the Upper Immortal Realm opened the back door, secretly allowing 300,000 people through early.

Yet in fact, this was all simply because Brother Cheng entered the Enlightenment Immortal Tree.

The Enlightenment Immortal Tree is located outside the Middle Immortal Realm in the chaotic area beyond the sky, which is not within the Immortal Fate List's perception.

So the 300,000 or so Immortal Fate Orders on him naturally would not appear.

The external speculations continued to the next decade.

This time the immortals gathered outside the Immortal Fate List were at least a hundred times more than the last.

The chance to ascend to the Upper Immortal Realm tugged at many hearts and minds, and no one could ignore it.

Under the huge crowd, only a little over 30,000 Immortal Fate Orders appeared on display again.

The rest of the 300,000 were truly 'gone without a trace'.

Therefore, the entire Middle Immortal Realm exploded completely.

For the next few decades, countless people hurried around searching for the missing Immortal Fate Orders.

Meanwhile, the over 30,000 Immortal Fate Orders that showed up were snatched at an unprecedented rate!

This kind of thing would only usually happen in the last decade, but now the competition intensified tenfold, and many people could no longer remain calm.

Aside from some Ancient Immortal Sects and Demon Sects that no one dared to provoke for the time being, all other Immortal Venerables with Immortal Fate Orders were hunted down by tens and hundreds of enemies.

The entire Middle Immortal Realm was in a state of bloody turmoil.

Feixian Sect had to be thankful that all the Immortal Fate Orders were on Brother Cheng because if even one point had been revealed here, they wouldn't have peace.

The sect was trembling from top to bottom, and Yuan Zhen and Yuan Sheng immediately sealed off the mountain, forbidding disciples from going out.

This situation continued until the current Enlightenment Immortal Tree closed, and a large number of Immortal Kings returned.

Brother Cheng had previously displayed over 300,000 Immortal Fate Orders at the Moon Immortal Palace.

Therefore, the returning Immortal Kings knew the truth.

The Immortal Fate Orders had not disappeared; they were still there, just all on Jiang Cheng.

This news left countless people in disbelief.

How could 300,000 all be on one person, how was that possible?

What could he possibly need with so many Immortal Fate Orders?

The whole idea seemed irrational.

But also due to this news, the bloody turmoil in the Middle Immortal Realm over the past few decades gradually calmed down considerably.

Feixian Sect was the immediate target thereafter.

Fortunately, after Xiao Kun, Wu Jue, Jiyun, and others returned, they all stationed themselves within Feixian Sect.

Additionally, due to the uncertainty regarding the truthfulness of this news, it was relatively safe for the moment.

But over time, signs of numerous other forces began to appear outside Feixian Sect.

This included several Immortal Kings.

They could ascend to the Upper Immortal Realm at any time, but most Immortal Kings with family wanted to secure benefits for their descendants as well.

Now, the entire Middle Immortal Realm focused on whether Jiang Cheng was still alive.

If alive, when might he return?
