"A masterpiece of nature, so realistic it's indistinguishable from the real thing. Excellent skill," Lin Yi exclaimed.
Zen Silver Gown closed her eyes slightly, silently sensing for a moment, then opened them and said, "This illusion is just too real."
"This should be the power of the Yang God master of the Qiankun Bag. This magic weapon is said to be made from the skin of a human immortal. However, the Great Zen Temple has a profound foundation. It is not impossible that it added the thoughts of the Yang God to stabilize the world."
“A true master of the Yang God realm can create things out of thin air and create a real microcosm within the vast world. This little illusion is nothing. Let’s go, let’s go through the mountain and take a look.”
As Lin Yi spoke, he suddenly crashed into the mountain wall in front of him together with Chan Yinsha.
*Pfft*
Their bodies merged into the vast mountainside like water.
The next moment, everything suddenly opened up before me!
This is a vast plain, spanning hundreds of miles, with countless houses and altars standing on it.
Lin Yi swept his divine sense across the area and discovered that there were fields, roads, rivers, and cities in this world, just like the territory of a small province of the Great Qian Dynasty.
On the vast plains, many natives were still cultivating the land, and there were even soldiers in armor riding horses along the roads. There were also many houses, mulberry trees, and villages, making it resemble a small country.
These days, whether it's the pirates of Giant Whale Island or the wild Witchcraft Sect, everyone has learned to farm.
Rivers, dilapidated roads, and runaway houses flowed beneath Lin Yi and Chan Yinsha.
One by one, the slaves in tattered clothes were working in the fields. The people who managed these slaves were Taoist priests with cold faces, dressed in silk robes, and some warriors in armor.
These people are clearly core disciples of the Witchcraft and Ghost Path.
As she traveled, Chan Yinsha observed the city built by the Witch Ghost Path, as well as the slaves and residents within it. She then shook her head and said, "These people from the Witch Ghost Path are utterly incompetent at managing internal affairs, farming, and developing the economy."
"Look at the state of these cities, they're all a mess. How can they possibly develop and grow, establish a country, or even take over the Central Plains? It's wishful thinking! In less than ten years, these cities will all be ruins."
She is the princess of the overseas kingdom of Izumo, and wields great power.
In recent years, the Izumo Kingdom has been thriving, which is inseparable from Zen Ginsa's efforts. She has her own views on civil administration, commercial administration, and agricultural administration.
She was both talented and beautiful, skilled in both literature and martial arts.
Lin Yi nodded after hearing this.
On Whale Island, he had seen the cities built by the pirates. Although they were far smaller than a tenth of this place and the land was not as fertile, they were quite vibrant.
Although the city of Wuguidao was large, it was filled with a deathly atmosphere.
Everywhere there were dilapidated houses and sewage, and the roads were a mess, with piles of things scattered about without any order.
They had absolutely no idea about town planning or how to connect with each other; it was as chaotic as a few children playing house.
The people of this land were all dressed in rags, their eyes devoid of any spiritual gleam; they were all ignorant and foolish natives.
No, those indigenous tribes that truly live in the mountains and fields still retain a wild and agile nature.
The indigenous people living here, however, are completely numb.
Like a lifeless zombie, this numb expression is something only death row inmates living in a dark and hopeless prison would have.
This is a state that only occurs when someone is oppressed to the extreme and lives a life worse than that of pigs and dogs for a long time.
After taking a general look at the situation on the plain, Lin Yi smiled and said to the beautiful woman beside him, "The Witchcraft and Ghost Path, which mainly uses the practice of sacrificing the dead, raising evil spirits, blood sacrifices to cultivate demons, and sucking human blood and marrow, should have been swept into the dustbin of history long ago."
"Today, let us act on behalf of Heaven, save the common people, eradicate the evil witchcraft, and bring new hope to those who suffer. Silver Veil Queen, what do you think of this title?"
Upon hearing this, Jin Xun'er shouted, "Lin Yi, you fickle and wicked man, I want to be queen too!"
Lin Yi replied with a smile, "Let's talk about it when you've cultivated into human form."
"Little sister Xun'er needs to work hard in her cultivation from now on," Chan Yinsha said, picking up the golden spider and casually kneading it.
………………
A magnificent city appeared before them, its walls made entirely of large, stacked stones, filled with grout from glutinous rice flour and other medicinal materials, and also mixed with molten iron.
Although it cannot compare to Yujing City and is smaller in scale, it is much larger than the provincial capital of any province in the Great Qian Dynasty.
The city has an ancient and magnificent atmosphere, with many stone statues standing on the four walls, giving people a sense of ancient desolation.
Lin Yi stood proudly in the void, looking down at the city below, and said, "It is said that the Witch Ghost Path spent twenty years and nearly 100,000 slaves to build the Heavenly Witch City in the wilderness. I never expected it to look like this. It is indeed magnificent and majestic."
Chan Yinsha sneered and said, "This city is completely useless. In such a harsh natural environment as the Wilderness, even hundreds of thousands or millions of troops could not break through. And a city is of no use against Ghost Immortal experts. The people of the Witch Ghost Path are really too stupid."
"If I had 100,000 natives to manage, I could multiply the population several times over in twenty years. If there were any intelligent ones among them, I could train a few to become masters of Taoist arts, and who knows, there might even be some geniuses in cultivation who could become ghost immortals."
Lin Yi smiled. As he looked around, he saw a thick, black smoke suddenly rising from the city walls on all four sides of Tianwu City. The smoke was extremely dense and viscous, and once it rose into the sky, it enveloped the entire city, which spanned dozens of miles.
The entire Heavenly Witch City seemed to have been forcibly ripped out of the vast world, and faintly, the wailing of ten thousand ghosts could be heard from within the black smoke.
Lin Yi said, "It seems that this Heavenly Witch City is quite something."
Zen Yinsha gave a cold "humph" and said, "This is the Myriad Ghosts Paying Homage to the Ancestor Formation of the Witchcraft and Ghost Path. Watch me break it."
As soon as she finished speaking, she stretched out her jade-like hand, fingers spread wide, and shouted, "Lei, come!"
In an instant, the sky was filled with wind and clouds, lightning and thunder, covering an area of several miles.
Then, all the flashing lightning in the sky converged and transformed into a large thunderball several feet in diameter.
Within the sphere of lightning, endless bolts of lightning flashed, layer upon layer, like a miniature universe of thunder.
