Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!

Previously, he was somewhat entranced by beauty and became lazy, not putting enough effort into the sacrificial refining of the halberd. Now that he has been idling his years away, it's time to do something proper.

The cultivators raised their heads and saw the sky beginning to show flashes of lightning and thunder. An ethereal blue Holy Halberd shot into the sky, countless thunders began to gather on the halberd, and its power was so strong that it left all the cultivators in shock and awe.

Seeing the Emperor's powerful and mighty demeanor, the cultivators of the Giant Shark Realm couldn't help but feel invigorated.

Noticing the change in the weather, the window of a delicate cottage suddenly opened.

Qingyao Fairy gazed at the sky filled with flashes of lightning and thunder and the slowly transforming Holy Halberd, her eyes couldn't help but sparkle with excitement.

"Truly... powerful and mighty."

"Being able to conquer the heart of such a man is truly one of life's greatest pleasures."

Though Yi Chen seemed less attentive to her recently, at this moment, Wan Qingyao was also filled with vigor.

A blush crept onto her jade-like face.

At worst, she would just do something against her principles again.

This year, she actually lived quite... joyfully.

....

....

Time flew by like a white steed's shadow across a crevice; soon, another year and a half had passed.

During this year and a half, Yi Chen naturally was very active.

At the Deep Red Emperor's residence in the Giant Shark Realm, thunder and lightning never ceased, relying on the endless energy he reversed and the immense wealth within the Youlan Star Path. Under various cost-free cultivation, the halberd's weight became increasingly terrifying.

Were it not for Yi Chen deliberately controlling its power, a casual swing of the halberd could distort and shatter space.

The terrifying force field formed by extreme gravity stacking.

This spectacle over the Giant Shark Realm also became a spiritual totem for countless cultivators under the Deep Red Emperor's banner.

They etched the emblem of the menacing ethereal blue Holy Halberd onto their armor as a totem, spreading it across the Youlan Star Path and even to other Star Domains.

The insurance business thrived.

The Youlan Star Path indeed deserves its name as the Gu Raising Holy Land, a mess when gathered, scattered like myriad stars when dispersed. Under Yi Chen's guidance, everyone became a business expert.

In fact, often, as long as you have the resources, you do not need to occupy others' land; you can still acquire their resources through various means.

Under their fishing-out approach, countless sinister objects and cunning scoundrels were transported to the Youlan Star Road and locked into the ninety-nine layers of the True Yang Tower built by the Deep Red Emperor specifically for these sinister objects.

Old society turned people into ghosts, but the Deep Red Emperor turned bandit cultivators into righteous warriors; in these two and a half years, the vast Youlan Star Path was scrutinized over and over again under their blazing lantern-like eyes.

Under this persistent exploitation, the Youlan Star Path reemerged as the most dignified place for ordinary people in the Cosmic Sea.

And the reason Yi Chen had so many resources to win over people and suppress his boastful and stout troops was not only his peerless martial prowess but also his astonishing wisdom.

First, within the Cosmic Sea, especially within the Youlan Star Path, cultivation resources were not all that scarce.

Especially cultivation techniques, ancestors' notes, and cultivation experiences, which are even more like intangible cultural heritage, these are nothing but artificially manufactured shortages set with exorbitant prices.

Fortunately, the Deep Red Emperor, which benevolence, lowered the prices for the families.

The precious notes and cultivation experiences left by various big names, which ordinary cultivators dared not even dream of before, were supplied to the inside bandit cultivators by the Deep Red Emperor at prices far more favorable than other forces.

Second, the lack of resources was because of the numerous petty kings everywhere, layers of agents, how could one piece of land feed so many lords.

Seize them!

Lock them in the ninety-nine layers of the True Yang Tower, a seat in the theater, everyone will have a bright future.

The various resources that should have been little transported by the various forces within the Youlan Star Path barely decreased, but everyone felt much relief.

Why?

Because the rules set by the Deep Red Emperor are laws of iron; whoever dares to levy arbitrary tributes in violation of the Emperor's rules, make Yi Chengzi the scapegoat, arrest them immediately!

This is the Emperor not needing to impose a levy yet the state uses sufficient resources.

This charm, where there are no middlemen to earn a price difference.

What? You say you are a protégé of someone, knowing which big shot?

You can't even be an animal; whoever dares extend a claw will have it chopped off.

Not everyone locked in the ninety-nine layers of the True Yang Tower has Deep Red Points, but each of them absolutely violated the rules set by Yi Chen.

Of course, such a crude authoritarian style naturally incited backlash from many forces within the Youlan Star Path.

Many people started to incite, spread rumors, and curse.

For these gossips and rumors, Yi Chen directly sent people to suppress them.

Having reformed the entire Youlan Star Path's economic lagoon and established a foundation belonging to himself, the Bandit Cultivators led by the Deep Red Guards wielded magic artifacts quickly!

They remembered the Emperor's teaching, that magic artifacts should have strength, that suppression should have warmth, that striking should have an angle.

Clean what should be cleaned, endure what should be endured.

After rounds of slaughters, the ordinary people and even lower-level cultivators who had been agitated and cursed Yi Chen also slowly started to understand.

Originally stirred up and agitated, they thought they couldn't survive anymore and needed to fight back.

In the end, they found out that after those instigators were dealt with, the imagined life of hardship never came, instead, it surprisingly improved.

When the fence of the sheepfold is down, is it the sheep's freedom or the wolves' revelry?

Within the Youlan Star Path, especially the previous Giant Shark Realm, none were not a fitting test field.

The stringent rules now imposed by Yi Chen undoubtedly gave them a layer of protective canopy.

Even for those weaker sects, it was the same.

The Deep Red Emperor equally hammered them all.

Of course, there weren't no vested interest holders planning to flee with their riches..... but they forgot one fact.

Who were the ancestors of the Bandit Cultivators?

The most elite bandit cultivators were either slain by Yi Chen long ago or gathered under his banner.

As long as you abide by rules and dare to risk your life, those good things that bandit cultivators never dreamed of before were directly stuffed into their mouths now.

From being despised by everyone to now receiving praise and admiration, the bandit cultivators who submitted to Yi Chen began to undergo a slight shift in mindset.

They sought advancement and resources before, but now the Emperor offers not only high compensation but also emotional value.

These people were more energized than ever.

And these people who were professional on surveying, robbing, setting up points on the Star Roads, and checking could not be more professional.

Those who wanted to escape, the bigshots with various connections with the external domains, found sorrowfully that they could escape nothing; the outside of the Star Path was full of Bandit Cultivators.

Even if they could escape, they would have to be stripped and thrown out; with Yi Chen's various clever tricks, basically, they shouldn't dream of taking away even a bit.

While Yi Chen's handling was somewhat rough due to his energy and time, being able to achieve such feats in just two and a half years made him quite satisfied.

Moreover, due to Yi Chen's actions, the myriad cultivators of the Cosmic Sea shifted from fussing about him to couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

The reputation of the Deep Red Emperor improved.

Because he is benevolent.

The silent majority always tends toward the sun; after the deeds in the Youlan Star Path spread, many righteous-minded cultivators also began to rise against those tyrannies.

Some strong hermit seniors, inspired, started independently; others, weaker ones, became guides for the cultivators in Yi Chen's exploration team, thus flickering sparks gradually ignited on the border between Bo Xun and the Asna Star Domain.

Regarding these external changes, Yi Chen was naturally pleased to see them; of course, what delighted him more was that, after such long effort, he was now less than four hundred billion Deep Red Points away from the next level in True Technique advancement.

During these two and a half years, a piece of news began to circulate.

It was that the mistress of the shadows, due to some reason, was about to start patrolling her borders.

Of course, this news was drowned in the many messages within the Cosmic Sea.
