Chapter 426 Achieving the Immortal Realm
Li Ye helped Liu Rengong up and comforted him. “Commissioner, you don’t have to blame yourself too much. The world is in chaos, and men are not what they were in the old days. Rebels are inevitable, but the soldiers and civilians in Youzhou are still loyal to you.”
He could understand Liu Rengong’s reaction. After experiencing great misery and despair, he couldn’t extricate himself from the pain and remorse. Now that he accidentally saw the hope that could save everything, he couldn’t help losing his composure.
Since Liu Rengong was still alive, things would be easy to deal with. Li Ye asked him to take charge of affairs and continue to be the commissioner in Youzhou.
Under his leadership, Liu Rengong dealt with Liu Shouguang, Huang Xingqin, and others quickly and decisively. In less than two days, he killed several hundred people.
After regaining power, Liu Rengong said that he would follow Li Ye’s lead and that Li Ye could dispatch the Lulong Army at will. Li Ye didn’t mobilize the Lulong Army but asked them to guard the border so that Qidan had no chance to invade.
On the last night of his stay in Youzhou, Li Ye fell into the state of cultivation in the guest room of the commissioner’s mansion.
He suppressed three vassal states in succession after the battle of Hedong, so he converged a lot of ordinary people’s Luck. In these days, Li Zhen took charge of civil affairs in Hedong. Based on the policy guidelines in Pinglu, he abolished a lot of exorbitant taxes and levies and issued a lot of measures to advocate agriculture. Therefore, more and more people were loyal to Li Ye.
As the Luck increased, Li Ye was about to break through the bottleneck.
The Dragon Qi was particularly active. As a wisp of red Luck flowed in, the amount of Luck finally broke through the critical point.
If in the past, it was time to break through the barrier and enter a new realm.
But at this moment, there was no change in Li Ye’s Ocean of Qi.
When he thought that he couldn’t achieve the Immortal Realm without the permission of the Immortal Court, the scroll of the Luck of heaven on between his eyebrows unfolded slowly.
Li Ye was shocked to see the content of the scroll.
The content of the scroll was not profound, and it was only a part of it. It was mountains and rivers.
As soon as Li Ye saw the content, he heard a ringing in his mind. The shining picture of mountains and rivers detached from the scroll and floated directly.
As the ink of the mountains and rivers floated, an invisible ink-colored light column suddenly rose above Li Ye’s head, straight to the depth of the stars. No one knew where the end was.
The light column was ink-colored, but it was dazzling, covering everything.
Li Ye didn’t wait too long. Countless star-like light spots quietly fell from the end of the light column. The light spots fell slowly, seemingly slow but actually fast. Li Ye soon bathed in the starlight. And at this time, the picture of mountains and rivers on the scroll of the Luck of heaven emerged from under him and spread slowly.
When the picture of mountains and rivers met the starlight, Li Ye’s spirit was lifted. At the line between the picture of mountains and rivers and the starlight, an extremely white dot appeared in an unknown space and slowly spread.
As the dot spread, a complete world gradually appeared.
Although Li Ye closed his eyes, he could see the world clearly.
He was shocked to find that it was not a world of nothingness but his familiar five prefectures of Pinglu!
The Immortal Area!
This was the Immortal Area created by Li Ye!
But Li Ye never heard that the Immortal Area created by a cultivator would be based on the real world.
Under normal circumstances, when a cultivator created the Immortal Area, he stepped into the Immortal Realm. At first, the Immortal Area was only a small world of 5 kilometers. Although it could run like the big world, it only had a little power. The cultivator needed to raise it constantly, adding something inside and expanding the territory.
It was common sense that the Immortal Realm was the self-built world of the cultivator in the Immortal Realm.
Although cultivators could outline the mountains and rivers in the Immortal Area and throw all kinds of animals and birds in it according to the real world, it was fundamentally different from the real world because there were no ordinary people in the Immortal Area!
But there were mountains, rivers, cities, farmland, and people in Li Ye’s Immortal Area, and it was no different from Pinglu in reality.
However, what shocked Li Ye didn’t stop. Apart from Pinglu, there were mountains and rivers in Weibo, Zhaoyi, Hedong, Chengde, Yiwu, and Lulong!
Compared with Pinglu, these vassal states looked transparent, like a projection, and they were not solid at all. In comparison, Hedong was slightly better.
Li Ye didn’t think too much at this moment and began to mobilize the Spiritual Qi in the Immortal Area.
Therefore, he found another stirring power besides the Spiritual Qi. It was mysterious and powerful, as if it was waiting for him to summon it.
As Li Ye’s mind moved, this mysterious power suddenly rose from the five prefectures of Pinglu and poured into the Dragon Qi in his body! The Dragon Qi cried cheerfully and excitedly, looking like it couldn’t wait to unleash the power.
Li Ye was pleasantly surprised. He could mobilize the Dragon Qi at will. Since this mysterious power entered the Dragon Qi, he could naturally use it!
After careful observation, Li Ye found the source of power, ordinary people in the five prefectures of Pinglu. When his mind moved, the power would rise over the heads of the soldiers and civilians of Pinglu and converge together!
Li Ye realized that this power was ordinary people’s Luck, but now it became real power!
Li Ye was shocked and never heard of it before.
Then, he found out a few things.
First, not all ordinary people in Pinglu would send out the power of the Luck, accounting for 70% to 80%. After thinking about it for a while, Li Ye understood that the remaining 20% to 30% of ordinary people were not loyal to him.
It was normal. After all, there were always some people who would not be loyal to others.
Second, when Li Ye tried to mobilize the power from Weibo, Hedong, and the other places, although the power of the Luck rose over some ordinary people’s heads, it wouldn’t converge into real power and it would dissipate in the air, as if it lacked energy.
He found that in these places, less than 30% of ordinary people would respond to him and raise the power of the Luck. The most were in Hedong, about 20%, and the least were in Chengde, less than 5%.
Li Ye was deep in thought. These places were transparent in the Immortal Area. Maybe he had not yet established his rule over these places, so the ordinary people’s Luck he won was not enough to reach the critical point.
He thought about it for a whole night. When the first ray of morning light fell on the windowsill, Li Ye figured out what should be figured out.
