Chapter 249: Dawndusk Territory

"Senior Martial Brother Li, what\'s wrong?" Xu Disheng, who had just imprinted a demon race girl with his mystical spirit brand, stopped and asked upon seeing Li Xuanji\'s uneasy expression.

Li Xuanji barely managed to come back to his senses, his face slightly stiff as he forced a smile. “Huh?! Uh, nothing, it\'s just… although I don\'t know the meaning of your Daoist title and have never heard it before, I suddenly felt a great terror rising in my heart, which left me stunned.”

Xu Disheng pondered for a moment, then lightly waved his sleeve. Innate Spiritual Force flowed, transforming into a beam of pure light that enveloped Li Xuanji.

After a moment\'s hesitation, Li Xuanji did not resist. He let the pure light surround him and suddenly found that his mind was much more at peace, and the trepidation in his heart completely disappeared.

Somewhat astonished, he couldn\'t help but ask as the light slowly dissipated, “Junior Brother Xu, you have only just obtained your fundamental spirit cultivation method, and it\'s been only two incense sticks of time since you started cultivating it. You can already cast spells?"

Xu Disheng nodded lightly and said, "After coming out of the Divine Lord Spirit Submersion\'s temple, I had been silently practicing the fundamental spirit cultivation method. At this point, I can already use some of its basic spells."

The Supreme Scripture was the paramount cultivation method for the Spirit Race to cultivate their minds and spirits!

This method was the innate cultivation method born alongside the first being of the Spirit Race, who was born from heaven and earth. Although it was later passed down to Divine Lord Spirit Submersion, only a few members of the Spirit Race could practice it in the enormous House of Profound Depth, one of the seventy-two Houses of the Heavenly Court.

The reason for this lay in its cultivation requirements. It demanded a Supreme Spiritual Root, which was simply nonexistent in the Human Realm!

Xu Disheng, with his exceptional powers of comprehension, had already found some places where his Dao Path was compatible with the Supreme Scripture. Despite only cultivating it for a mere two incense sticks worth of time, he had already had a preliminary understanding of a few of its most simple auxiliary spells.

Li Xuanji was somewhat taken aback. “But your cultivation base is only at the Nascent stage. You haven’t even reached the Spiritual Sea stage. It\'s astonishing that these spells can actually affect someone at the Dao Foundation stage…”

His words trailed off as he seemed to inwardly make some guesses about Xu Disheng\'s Spiritual Root Sequence and fundamental spirit cultivation method, but he didn\'t continue.

The cultivation stages of the Spirit Race were similar to those of the human race, but there were slight differences in the names of the early stages.

When a being of the Spirit Race was born, there was Innate Spiritual Force present in their Jianggong meridian, which was referred to as the Nascent stage. This was equivalent to the Cleansed Meridians stage for the human race.

Once the Spiritual Force transformed into a sea, forming the Jianggong spiritual sea, it was naturally called the Spiritual Sea stage, which was akin to the human Sea of Qi stage.

At the Dao Foundation stage and higher, the Spirit Race, as well as other races like humans and demons, would be almost indistinguishable. The only difference separating the Spirit Race from the rest was in the potency of the spells they could cast with their Spiritual Force.

Xu Disheng didn\'t continue on this topic, but looked at the dozens of slaves he had branded with his mystical spiritual brand and said, "For building a Domain, these few dozen slaves at the Divine Core stage and Dao Foundation stage should be enough, right?"

Li Xuanji shook his head and said, "What about after you finish constructing your Domain? Aren\'t you going to plant spiritual fruits and herbs? Raise rare birds and spiritual beasts? As your cultivation base progresses, you\'ll need to collect materials to refine artifacts yourself. You can never have enough slaves."

The Profound Depth Spiritual World was a celestial land with a heritage dating back countless years, and was rich in various spiritual materials and resources. Frighteningly, some of these resources could continuously regenerate, supporting the hundred or so beings of the Spirit Race living in the Profound Depth Spiritual World and allowing them to use these resources lavishly.

Under the Domain chosen for Xu Disheng by Li Xuanji, there was a massive spirit vein amounting to around several million spirit stones!

Spirit stones, born from the essence of heaven and earth, were universally valued across all races, reflecting the Spirit Race\'s immense wealth.

Despite possessing such an enormous wealth of spirit stones, there weren’t any places in the Profound Depth Spiritual World where they needed to be spent.

When it came to refining pills, there were many pill formulas in the spirit temples below the Genesis Sea of Clouds, but time still had to be spent cultivating the spiritual fruits and herbs for pill ingredients and refining the pills on their own.

As for refining artifacts, the slaves could be instructed to collect spiritual materials and meteorites, allowing for a rather carefree refining process that offered the leeway for multiple attempts.

And for breeding rare spiritual birds and beasts, there were countless species in the Profound Depth Spiritual World to choose from.

Compared to the other celestial lands in the Human Realm, only the Spirit Race, with their ownership over the Profound Depth Spiritual World, could be nearly self-sufficient despite their exceedingly scarce numbers.

The other races like the humans, demons, and even the celestial and lunar races from the higher realms, all experienced a sense of crowdedness in their inherited celestial lands. Some celestial lands were even overburdened, forcing their inhabitants to split off a portion of their forces to establish new Domains.

Only the Spirit Race, with their celestial land in the Profound Depth Spiritual World, enjoyed such tranquil serenity. Interactions among the Spirit Race were infrequent, as each person was self-sufficient. If they needed any spiritual items, they could simply take them from the vast and boundless Profound Depth Spiritual World.

However, every hundred years or so, several Clone Avatar stage Greater Lords of the Spirit Race would venture out to capture many beings to serve as slaves. They would place mystical spiritual brands deep in their bloodlines, allowing any member of the Spirit Race to command them at will.

These captured slaves included beings from the Primordial Spirit stage to the weaker ants at the Sea of Qi stage, and their races were varied. But in the Profound Depth Spiritual World, they had only one designation: slaves of the Spirit Race.

Whenever the Clone Avatar stage Greater Lords of the Spirit Race left the Profound Depth Spiritual World to capture beings from the nearby Dawndusk Territory, it always caused unrest in the several neighboring territories.

The Dawndusk Territory, located on the western side of the Human Realm\'s Central Region, was vast and expansive, nearly ten times larger than the Shan Mountain Territory of the Eastern Realm. It housed several overlord sects and two top level sects.

But when faced with the tyrannical methods of the Profound Depth Spiritual World, even the top sects, who couldn’t be considered much weaker, had no effective countermeasures.

After all, once the Clone Avatar stage Greater Lords of the Spirit Race finished capturing slaves, they would return directly to the Profound Depth Spiritual World, and they would rarely venture out after that. This always left the overlord sects and large-scale sects in the Dawndusk Territory gritting their teeth in frustration.

Naturally, these sects wouldn’t dare to challenge the Spirit Race openly, even if the barriers of the Profound Depth Spiritual World were completely opened. They could only try to avoid conflict during this centennial “Year of Enslavement”.

Although Xu Disheng could control the mystical spiritual brands in these slaves\' bloodlines with his Innate Spiritual Force, his cultivation base was still too low. He was merely at the Nascent stage, so at most, he could command slaves at the Divine Core stage. Commanding Primordial Spirit stage beings was still too challenging for him.

All of this led to a somewhat bizarre scene.

As Xu Disheng, with his hundreds of branded slaves, headed toward the previously selected spirit gathering vein, he came across several slaves at the Primordial Spirit stage from various races. It was their first time seeing such a weak member of the Spirit Race like Xu Disheng. They glared fiercely at him, but were unable to attack him due to the spiritual brands in their bloodlines.

At the same time, Xu Disheng also couldn\'t command these Primordial Spirit stage beings at the moment and would have to wait until his cultivation base was higher to truly use them as slaves.
