Chapter 171 - Western Desert

nMany of the officials looked at Wang Wei with a happy look on their face as they could not help themselves. The past few years have been the most fulfilling time of their lives.

nAs high-ranking officials of Great Xia, they have slowly watched how a powerful and prosperous dynasty that covered the entire world took place--even in the Southern Region.

nWith Wang Wei's clean up of the demonic beasts four years ago, the entire Southern Region was opened to humans. As such, countless cities were built and many people migrated there under the incentive of the court.

nAs a matter of fact, it was not that difficult to motivate the people as the Southern Region was full of fertile land, and was home to numerous spiritual herbs and ore. Many people suspect that the south was even richer than the central region when it comes to resources.

nAlthough the Northern Region was completely destroyed, no one really cares about this due to its barren nature. And now, with the return of his majesty, the last place was about to have Earth shaking change: the Western Region.

nWhile these officials just noticed Wang Wei's return, people Li Jun and Yan Liling noticed the subtle difference and changes that occurs to him. They could see his long breath, and if they focused hard enough, they could even hear his heart beating.

nThey all sighed as they realized that Wang Wei had gotten even stronger than before.

nWhile these people were observing him, Wang Wei was also doing the same thing. With his True Vision Ability, he easily noticed how both Li Jun and Yan Liling had acquired 5-color Rainbow Qi Luck.

nAs a matter of fact, even people like the Five Number General and the Iron Fist King, Tie Gang, had increased their luck to the beginning of Purple-Gold.

nOf course the person that surprised him the most was actually Dong Lifen. In the past four years, not only did she manage to reach the peak of the Divine Altar Realm with 350 Divine Veins, she also reached a peak of Purple-Gold Qi Luck.

nWang Wei was not surprised by her cultivation level given her talent and the blessing of being the Empress of Great Xia, however, the Qi Luck level did surprise him.

nIn order to achieve such a level, she must have contributed a lot to the dynasty in the past few years. However, he was also puzzled by the constant frown on her face.

nThen, Wang Wei secretly sighed as he looked at his black Qi Luck that was 99.99% turned back into purple.

nNo matter what he did in the past few years, he did not make any progress at all. However, Wang Wei was not worried as he already had a plan that guaranteed his success, hence the question he previously asked.

nWang Ji--who noticed that many of the officials were too excited to answer the previously asked question--stepped up and replied,

"Your majesty, according to your instruction, all the arrays have been set up.

"

nWang Wei nodded as he also checked out his head maid, no he should call her his Shadow from now on.

nHe could see that Wang Ju has also benefited greatly from the Qi Luck of the dynasty. Her Divine Body Realm cultivation was more stable than before, and she seemed to have used the increase of comprehension brought by her position to understand the techniques she cultivated.

nHe guessed that her cultivation would increase dramatically after returning home.

nAfter receiving a full report from Wang Ju, Wang Wei spent a few hours checking the situation of the dynasty during his absence. After checking that everything was normal, he headed straight for the Western Region.

nOnce there, Wang Wei stood in the air, then waved his hand. He used all his 720 Divine Veins to control all the spiritual energy in the western region, then countless circular runes appeared in the air, surrounding the entire region.

nUnder Wang Wei's control, these arrays started to absorb powerful energy from something buried underneath the soils or desert of the Western Region.

nIf one person could observe closely, they would find out that the arrays were absorbing the blood, souls, and cultivation power of countless demonic beasts. And there were billions of them buried underneath the ground.

nAfter the array absorbed all those powers, something magical happened. The desert--that has existed in the western region for millions of years--suddenly started to turn into normal land.

nMountains and rivers then started to appear in many different places, many fertile and cultivable lands also manifested themselves. Then, the temperature of the desert started to cool down until it reached the normal level of the other regions.

nFollowing which, rain--which was a very rare thing--suddenly to fall everywhere. As a result, many trees suddenly grew widely in different places, creating vast and luscious forests.

nThe last transformation to occur was the increase in spiritual energy from Heaven and Earth. As a matter of fact, the reason that such tremendous changes occurred was due to the resurgence of spiritual energy.

nWhat Wang Wei was doing was to essentially create and repair the spiritual veins located under the Western Region using the vitality of all the demonic beasts that were killed due to the Beast Tide a few years ago.

nBy doing so, Wang Wei can rejuvenate the barren land of the Western Region. He got this idea from a Great Emperor of the Di Clan.

nAt some point of time, the Western White Tiger Continent suffered a devastating catastrophe that left all the spiritual veins there completely destroyed, resulting in the spiritual energy in the Western Continent to become even less that the Northern Continent.

nDue to this, at some point things got so bad that the Devil Cultivators in the West wanted to wage a war against the Demon Race in the North to take over the continent.

nHowever, before things escalated to this point, a Great Emperor was born from the Di Clan. Using his amazing ability, he single handedly fixed all the spiritual veins to the point that the spiritual energy between Heaven and Earth was recovered, but it even briefly surpassed the Southern Vermilion Bird Continent and almost reached the level of the Eastern Azure Dragon Continent.

nOf course Wang Wei did not have the power of that Great Emperor, nor did he have such a deep understanding of feng shui to easily repair spiritual veins.

nSo, he used the blood, soul and vitality of demonic beasts as an energy source, then attached a powerful Spirit Gathering Formation where the spiritual veins are located.

nAs for the already existing spiritual veins, the Spirit Gathering Array was attached to them as an aid to help them produce more spiritual energy. Due to this, the Great Xia Dynasty had to spend countless resources and more than two years to set up these formations.

nAnd why did Wang Wei go through such great lengths to do such a thing?

nIt was for the same reason that the Great Emperor of the Di Clan did: Merit.

nMerit is a mysterious and almost omnipotent thing, so Wang Wei knew that this was the perfect thing to help with the problem of his Qi Luck.

nSoon after all the transformation of the Western Region finished, many people marveled with excitement on their faces. Then, many people kneeled on the ground with tears in their eyes while chanting:

n

"Long Live his Majesty.

"

nAs a matter of fact, the lives of the western people have dramatically improved over the last few years as members of Great Xia. They never had to worry about food, water, or shelter. Even the horrible temperature of the desert was no longer a problem with constructs specially designed by the Refining Hall of Great Xia.

nHowever, compared to the lives of the other regions, the people of the wester people still felt a little inferior. After all, they live in a vast desert. As a result of this, it is very difficult to build roads or Crawling Dragon Construct.

nThey convinced themselves that everything was fine since they could still use the Soaring Phoenix Construct to travel by air, but they always felt like their region was backwards.

nBut now, things are different. They finally have the chance to modernize themselves completely, to become more like the central and eastern regions.

nAs for Wang Wei, after finishing controlling the arrays, a sudden will suddenly manifested around. Then, golden clouds suddenly enveloped him as he could feel that this will was showing its good will towards.

nWang Wei knew that the Heavenly Dao of this world was happy by his deed, and the golden lights that fell from the Heaven and into his hand further proved his feeling.

nAs such, Wang Wei looked in excitement at the golden lights in his hand. This amount of merit was a few times larger than the ones Liu Meixiu received.

nMeaning, that even if he used it to change his Qi Luck, there should be more than enough as a reserve.
