Chapter 476 - 349: That familiar feeling is back!_2
Xuanqing calculated in his heart.
The last time he harvested incense, the average daily incense was only around 200 billion.
Now, only half a year has passed, and the daily income from incense has grown to 260 billion.
It’s worth mentioning that.
Xuanqing found that among the incense harvested this time, a small part actually came from outside the West Great Yan Street, contributed by ordinary blue-eyed Westerners.
It seems… Yang Ying, Elder Jingde, and other subordinates have done a good job, having changed the beliefs of a part of the western people in just three and a half years since the establishment of the Great Yan Federation.
You should know.
There are essential differences between the West and East Asia.
The belief in the West emphasizes individual redemption and does not expect gods to grant anything to the believers, belonging to a “spiritualist faith”.
On the other hand, East Asia is completely different.
People here consider gods exist for the purpose of helping humans do things they cannot do themselves, such as bless wealth or protect their family safety, emphasizing a “pragmatic” exchange.
It is precisely because of these completely different situations that the difficulty of spreading beliefs in the two regions is not the same.
In the Eastern region, as long as your deity is useful and effective, no matter what god you are or what god the person believed in before, they will immediately turn around and believe in your deity.
In the West, once a belief arises, it is basically impossible for them to change the religious group they believe in, as long as no event happens that makes their faith collapse.
So.
Xuanqing feels that the subordinates of Taiji Hall have worked very hard to spread the God Taichu in the West in such a short time.
Frankly speaking.
Although the Great Yan Federation has controlled the entire Water Blue Star, you cannot force people to change their faith, otherwise killing them, right?
Of course… this is going too far off-topic.
“Check Character Panel!” Xuanqing silently invoked it once again in his mind.
[Name]: Xuanqing
[Physique]: Chaos Morality Holy Body.
[Grade]: Master of the Primordial Beginning
[Cultivation]: Swallowing Sky Tree Sapling (20%)
[Cultivation Method]: Swallow Heaven Saint Art
[Divine Ability]: Dust-suppressing Heaven (Perfection)
[Ingots]: 9.16 trillion
On the Character Panel, the Ingots increased from the original 40 trillion to 90 trillion once again.
However.
Although 90 trillion is a lot, it is still far from enough to devour and refine an entire planet.
“According to the quality, the Origin Power of Jupiter should be not much different from that of Venus. So… if I want to devour and refine Jupiter, I will need at least 15 trillion,” Xuanqing murmured softly.
There’s only a difference of six trillion between his current remaining ingots and the 15 trillion target. Considering his present daily income of 260 billion, he needs 230 days.
No!
There’s no need for 230 days, because the incense income is not fixed at 260 billion a day. With the development of Taiji Hall now, the daily incense income will only get higher and higher unless the population threshold is reached.
Considering this situation.
Xuanqing thinks he can go to Jupiter to practice first, maybe after consuming the 90 trillion Ingots, the incense on Water Blue Star has accumulated another 60 trillion.
“I’ll go to Jupiter to practice first!” Xuanqing made up his mind in his heart.
Then.
With a thought.
Whoosh- His body turned into dots of starlight, slowly disappearing into the inner courtyard of Qingping Temple.
In the vast universe, there is a planet emitting various light colors, surrounded by four slightly smaller satellites.
Jupiter!
This is a Jupiter composed of 90% hydrogen and 10% helium, along with trace amounts of methane, water, ammonia, and rocks.
Although it’s called “Jupiter,” it has nothing to do with wood. The only reason for this name is that its position in the solar system coincides with the direction of wood in the theory of the Five Elements.
At this moment.
A ripple appeared in the space above the surface of Jupiter, a young Taoist priest dressed in a Daoist robe, stepping with a gait, holding a duster exuding powerful luck and cause-and-cffect power, walked out. It was Xuanqing who had traveled from the Water Blue Star.
“The essence of Jupiter is not special, but there’s a faint feeling of it being one with the universe and the stars,”
Xuanqing stood on the surface of Jupiter, closed his eyes for a moment, and thought to himself.
He had a feeling.
The vast infinite universe in the real world must contain some shocking secrets unknown to man.
Especially after experiencing the mysterious creature in the sun, he was even more confident about this.
Then.
He sealed the teleportation array of Jupiter, maxed out the shielding, and prepared for the upcoming closed-door cultivation.
“Begin cultivating.”
Xuanqing sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.
As the Swallow Heaven Saint Art started to operate, the third heavenly eye on his forehead opened. A verdant sapling seemed to be the pupil of the heavenly eye, slowly rotating.
A thick, illusory root of the Swallowing Sky Tree stretched out from the heavenly eye and plunged deep into Jupiter before extending further in.
Om~
The unique essence within Jupiter was absorbed by the illusory root of the Swallowing Sky Tree, nourishing the growth of the sapling within the heavenly eye.
“For the Devouring Sky Tree sapling, use a 100-year time acceleration!”
Xuanqing mumbled in his heart.
[Ding… -100E Ingots!]
At the instant when ingots were deducted, the already thick, illusory root instantly swelled as if it had swallowed a strong medicine, crazily absorbing Jupiter’s essence.
Refreshing!
Extremely refreshing!
Xuanqing found that after practicing the Swallow Heaven Saint Art to 20% progress in the sapling stage, and using 100 years of time acceleration, he no longer had the previously bloated feeling.
“After devouring the essence of Venus, 1 have greatly strengthened my physical body. Even if I use another hundred years of time acceleration, I can easily bear it!”
This is just like a child, who definitely couldn’t bear to chug a bottle of 500ml mineral water.
But for a normal adult, it would be no problem to chug a bottle of Snow beer in one go.
“I can bear at least two hundred years of time acceleration now!”
A faint smile appeared on Xuanqing’s lips.
However.
Even though he could bear a one-time, two-hundred-year time acceleration, he didn’t plan to do so. After all, time consumed during cultivation was not the problem that troubled him.
Even if he could bear a thousand years of time acceleration at once, what would be the use without sufficient ingots?
He’d still have to wait for the Water Blue Star to collect enough incense.
In conclusion.
Since he has to wait anyway, why would he want to suffer more? In the Great Yan Country, there’s an old saying, “The more bitter you can endure in your life, the more bitter you will have to eat.” The result would be the same either way, so he should choose to be as comfortable as possible.
After a while.
The effect of the 100-year time acceleration ended, and the extremely refreshing feeling receded with it.
What’s more.
At this moment.
He actually had the same feeling when he first started cultivating—very refreshing during the cultivation process.
“Water Blue Star can’t be rushed anyway. If worse comes to worst, I’ll run away with my home, so it’s better to cultivate slowly and comfortably!”
Xuanqing opened his eyes and murmured with emotion.
The next moment.
Just as before on Venus.
His God Soul passed through his body, enveloping the entire Jupiter, and finally uploading the lost planetary material due to the extraction of essence to the Mall.
After a while, when Jupiter’s planetary material was successfully uploaded, he also exchanged it from the game store.
As expected, the loss of Jupiter’s material after using a hundred-year time acceleration was not much different from the time spent cultivating on Venus.
That is to say.
When using time acceleration, the cost of replenishing lost material and Jupiter’s consumption to devour and refine the entire planet were the same, requiring a total of 15 trillion E Ingots..
