Immortality Starts With Ignorant Heart Sword Art

Chapter 275: Dao Field and Floating Sky City

Suddenly, the idea of a group chat popped into Zhong Cang's mind, not because he was bored and wanted to chat with someone.

He wanted to transform his Inner View - Heavenly Court into a true Immortal World that could rival, or even surpass, Hongxuan Continent.

However, because his ambition was too high, it was difficult for Zhong Cang to achieve the same level as the Heavenly Court and Hongxuan Continent... extremely difficult.

It could even be said that even if he cultivated to become an immortal, he would still be unable to achieve this step.

After all, in Zhong Cang's conception, the palaces in the Heavenly Court would be arranged in accordance with the positions of the stars and constellations.

In the end, there would be thirty-six heavenly palaces and seventy-two palaces.

In addition, there would be four heavenly gates and countless heavenly soldiers.

Apart from the soldiers, each major heavenly palace would also require a main deity to preside over it, as well as auxiliary deities and numerous heavenly soldiers as escorts.

In the end, there would be three hundred and sixty-five main deities and one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred auxiliary deities in the Heavenly Court.

After that, there would be the Five Olds of the Five Directions, the Four Guardians, and the Three Pure Ones...

In short, his ambition was grand and magnificent.

If he really succeeded, Zhong Cang could become the Haotian God, the Supreme God of the Myriad Realms.

But precisely because his ambition was too high, the current Zhong Cang had no possibility of achieving it at all.

In order to perfect his conception, Zhong Cang planned to slightly... significantly lower his requirements in the early stages.

"Since I can't evolve the real world, it wouldn't be bad to first develop a virtual 'second world' based on Hongxuan Continent."

Temporarily sacrificing reality for the sake of the virtual, and when he reached a certain realm, he would integrate the Void Refining Dao and turn the false into the true. This was Zhong Cang's plan.

Hmm... evolving an illusory virtual world didn't seem to require the assistance of others. Zhong Cang himself seemed capable of accomplishing it.

However, as the saying goes, if Zhong Cang were to do it himself, the speed would be too slow.

Moreover, Zhong Cang didn't want to create a Heavenly Court that was useless and required his personal attention for everything.

Indeed, he could divide his thoughts and transform some of his thoughts into deities, which would somewhat fill the Heavenly Court with vitality.

But how many thoughts could Zhong Cang really divide?

Because of this, he planned to gather some subordinates and gather some talents to work for him.

At the same time, Zhong Cang also considered...

It was fine for now, but if he wanted to turn the illusory Heavenly Court into reality, he would need countless precious materials and treasures.

—All those heavenly palaces would require spiritual materials and precious treasures to be completed.

Not only could Zhong Cang not afford this kind of offering, even if he sold Cloud Firmament Sect, it wouldn't be enough.

Even occupying the North Abyss Region wouldn't be sufficient.

Because of this, Zhong Cang had to find ways to earn spirit stones and plan for the future.

In the previous life, the emergence of electronic computers was considered the third technological revolution, creating countless billionaires and countless benefits.

Thinking of this, Zhong Cang planned to create a virtual world to earn a massive amount of spirit stones for himself.

The group chat was Zhong Cang's initial conception, and the next step was the virtual world, which would allow others to come and go in his Inner View Heavenly Court.

However, Zhong Cang is still contemplating how to attract others into his inner landscape.

At the same time, not everyone can enter in the first batch of personnel.

According to Zhong Cang's plan, he would treat his inner landscape as a divine realm, and only those who have learned the Heavenly Heart or have been marked with the Heavenly Heart symbol by himself can enter.

Because they have learned his method, these people can be considered his disciples and treated as his own.

After these people enter, they can not only be guests and consume, but also assist Zhong Cang in gradually perfecting the inner landscape.

...

These thoughts arose in Zhong Cang's mind while he was still immersed in enlightenment.

However, after regaining his clarity, Zhong Cang sighed and shook his head, saying,

"It's a pity. Although the idea is good, in order to ensure safety and allow others to come and go freely in the virtual second world, at least the Gold Core stage is required... No, even the Gold Core stage is not enough. It requires at least the Nascent Soul realm."

"I, as I am now, simply cannot do it, nor do I dare to."

...

Due to his lack of strength, Zhong Cang ultimately couldn't carry out the plan of creating a second world in the Heavenly Palace. However, the advancement of the Twelve Melodies of Jade Heaven Tower had prepared everything for Zhong Cang to teach his method.

Therefore, the next day, Zhong Cang appeared on time at the Shattered Star Lake.

Countless cultivators gathered by the lake.

"Three hundred, five hundred, eight hundred, three thousand... Quite a lot of people came."

While Zhong Cang marveled, a middle-aged Daoist who reeked of alcohol approached him.

He was Tao Juran, a disciple of the sect master Lin Yuan and also Zhong Cang's senior brother.

As the disciple that the sect master liked to order around the most, he was also in charge of teaching this time.

At this moment, he came to Zhong Cang to inform him of some information.

"According to your wishes, the inner disciples, true disciples, and some outer disciples who have made great contributions from our Cloud Firmament Sect have all come. There are also some Gold Core elders who are ready to listen."

Pausing for a moment, Tao Juran continued, "In addition to these, some direct disciples from other Dao Sects and descendants of the Dragon Race have also applied to the sect, wanting to learn your method. Of course, they won't learn for free, but are willing to offer a large amount of precious resources. Are you prepared to teach them?"

"As long as the price is right, I can teach them all."

In fact, even if the price is not right, Zhong Cang doesn't mind sharing his technique.

After all, those who come from far away to learn secret techniques from the Cloud Firmament Sect are all outstanding talents and true disciples of major sects.

Their talents are absolutely extraordinary. Otherwise, their elders and sects behind them would not pay such a high price to send them over; it would be a waste.

Although it is impossible for them to surpass Zhong Cang and innovate the Heavenly Heart technique, they can still gain new insights from Zhong Cang's method.

With the help of these people, Zhong Cang can receive a lot of feedback.

Moreover, in the future, the Heavenly Heart can connect to Zhong Cang's inner landscape, and those foreign sects' secret techniques will become potential users for Zhong Cang.

This makes Zhong Cang even more welcoming to them.

However, giving away secret techniques for free is not a good thing.

Therefore, Zhong Cang did not make the decision alone, but followed the sect's idea and allowed those outstanding talents to exchange resources for the technique.

...

After receiving Zhong Cang's reply, Tao Juran did not leave. Instead, he pondered for a while and asked Zhong Cang, "Your Heavenly Heart... Are you confident that the inner disciples and true disciples can quickly learn the Heavenly Heart?"

"???"

Although Tao Juran's meaning was not understood, Zhong Cang pondered for a moment and nodded.

"I have a cultivation technique called Twelve Melodies of Jade Heaven Tower. This technique can use sound to transmit my insights from the spiritual level to the true disciples and inner disciples who listen, accelerating their understanding of my Dao."

"If they have outstanding talent, some cultivators can grasp the second realm within a month if they are lucky."

The blessing of Heavenly Sound is not a soul imprint. Only when the sound is heard, those cultivators will be blessed with the Heavenly Heart.

Once the Heavenly Sound disappears, the Heavenly Heart of those cultivators will dissipate.

Moreover, the blessing of Heavenly Sound can only give others the Heavenly Heart of the second realm.

To master the third realm and become a grandmaster of the fourth realm, cultivators need to comprehend their own path. Haphazardly bestowing blessings can be counterproductive and easily lead to the obstruction of knowledge and insight.

"A month? They may not be in such a hurry..."

After hearing Zhong Cang's words, Tao Juran frowned, muttered a few words, and began to contemplate.

From their brief conversation, Zhong Cang already had some understanding of Tao Juran's thoughts.

"Senior brother, are you planning to create several cultivators who have mastered the Heavenly Heart and have them show their abilities in front of those foreign true disciples, in order to gain more resources?"

Upon hearing Zhong Cang's question, Tao Juran laughed twice.

"Hahaha, junior brother is indeed clever. That's exactly what I had in mind. We can't let the resources of the Dao Sect go to waste. Besides, I also want to delay the cultivation of the foreign true disciples, allowing our sect's disciples to accumulate more advantages."

This situation is beneficial to the Cloud Firmament Sect. As the core true disciple of the Cloud Firmament Sect, Zhong Cang naturally no longer obstructed and said:

"If you want to showcase the abilities of the Heavenly Heart through the sect's disciples, I have a method... Junior brother, you have an ability called Soul Imprint. I can forcefully imprint the Heavenly Heart onto the divine souls of the sect's disciples using Heavenly Sound, making the Heavenly Heart their innate talent."

"However, because the Heavenly Heart is not comprehended by those disciples themselves, forcibly imprinting it will erode their divine souls and deplete their potential. Moreover, their life and death will be under my control. Therefore, if someone wants a Soul Imprint, please inform them of all these consequences."

Tao Juran: "I understand, but we don't need to go that far for now. I believe the sect's disciples can comprehend it within a month. I also believe that your secret technique will make those exceptional true disciples reluctant to leave!"

"Hahaha, then junior brother, I thank you for your trust."

...

Through their conversation, Zhong Cang and Tao Juran quickly determined how to deal with the foreign true disciples.

Afterward, as noon arrived, the ceremony of imparting techniques began.

"Dong!"

With a grand bell toll, the thick fog that had shrouded Shattered Star Lake for a month quickly dissipated.

Soon, most of the fog dispersed, and the remaining remnants no longer obstructed the line of sight. Instead, they appeared like ethereal fairy qi, enveloping Shattered Star Lake, creating a magnificent scene.

After the fog cleared, the inner disciples who had been waiting by the lake noticed that the layout of Shattered Star Lake had undergone a major change.

In the central area, there were eight grand halls positioned in a special formation, located in different directions of Shattered Star Lake.

The halls were made of precious treasures, with numerous unknown runes engraved on the walls.

Under the eaves of the palaces hung wind chimes.

And inside some of the halls, there were half-human, half-beast god kings being worshipped.

All of these elements created an atmosphere in Shattered Star Lake that resembled a heavenly palace.

If someone could peer into Zhong Cang's divine soul consciousness, they would discover that the arrangement of Shattered Star Lake was almost identical to the inner scenery of Zhong Cang's divine soul consciousness.

- He built the Inner Scene · Heavenly Court in reality and made it his own dojo.

- With the substantial construction of eight palaces, the Inner Scene · Heavenly Court of Zhong Cang can temporarily transform the virtual into reality. Therefore, within the dojo, Zhong Cang's strength will increase several times.

- In addition to significant progress in strength, the special arrangement includes formations that can manifest the Inner Scene · Heavenly Court. By relying on physical objects for cultivation and enlightenment, Zhong Cang's cultivation speed will also be several times faster.

- "It's a pity that the palaces here are fixed and cannot be taken away. I can only double my strength here... By the way, can some islands be transformed into floating cities, with the Qian Tian Palace and the Thunder Shaking Mansion standing on them?"

- "Then, using the eight palaces as the foundation, can I evolve the substantial Heavenly Court?"

- After careful consideration, Zhong Cang realized that although this method was extravagant and building eight floating palaces was not something he could accomplish alone, it was indeed feasible.

- Firstly, there was the issue of manpower. Zhong Cang, whose talent had been confirmed as exceptional, had countless people wanting to befriend him, and the sect fully supported him. By informing the sect, Zhong Cang could recruit thousands of weapon refiners and nearly a hundred formation masters. With the help of these people, Zhong Cang could quickly complete the construction of the eight floating cities.

- Secondly, there was the issue of resources. The cost of building the eight floating cities was definitely astronomical, enough to exhaust the savings of several Gold Core cultivators. Unfortunately, because Heavenly Heart was strong and exaggerated, Zhong Cang could also earn a lot of spirit stones by teaching Heavenly Heart.

- Especially with Zhong Cang's teachings attracting the attention of outstanding individuals from other domains and the Dragon Race, who were true wealthy families, they were willing to pay several times, even dozens of times more resources for the techniques.

- In this way, Zhong Cang was not lacking in resources.

- With no shortage of people or money, and with the design of the Inner Scene Heavenly Court that could be copied and evolved, Zhong Cang realized that he could indeed build the eight floating cities to house the Qian Tian Palace (Cloud Soaring Palace), Kun Di Mansion, Thunder Shaking Mansion, and so on.

- Finally, Zhong Cang realized that he only had one question left: "Is it necessary for me to expend a huge amount of manpower, resources, and energy to build the eight floating cities?"

- The answer was: "Yes."

- The reason was simple. The floating cities could serve as Zhong Cang's dojo, means of transportation, and weapons of war. They would provide tremendous help in Zhong Cang's future battles, life, and cultivation.

- If the eight floating cities were successfully built, Zhong Cang's cultivation speed and strength would increase several times, even tenfold.

- What's more, as Zhong Cang's cultivation improved, the eight floating cities could also be continuously improved.

- In this way, when Zhong Cang had the qualifications to transform the Inner Scene Heavenly Court from illusion to reality, he would not need to start from scratch but could directly manifest it.

- Moreover, the previously envisioned celestial strike system and the evolution of the virtual world could also be placed on the eight floating cities.

- "This... is really going to be a spectacle!"

- After sighing with emotion, Zhong Cang no longer hesitated.

- However, the construction of the floating cities was a matter for the future. For now, what was more important to Zhong Cang was teaching Heavenly Heart.

- While Zhong Cang was contemplating, his disciples had already entered the Shattered Star Lake.

- Due to Zhong Cang's established authority through consecutive battles and the presence of law enforcement disciples from the sect, the disciples who entered were orderly and no disturbances occurred.

- Soon, the disciples sat on the cushions specially prepared by Zhong Cang, and the teaching of Heavenly Heart officially began.

- "Boom!!!"
