A few days ago, Hua Kai decided to upgrade the remaining three mystic realms of the family. After the upgrade, the three mystic realms were just as Hua Kai had imagined. The limit on the number of people who could enter the trial was removed. All the core members of the family could allow every member in the family register to enter the trial space. Moreover, every additional member would consume a little more luck.
In this way, the family mystic realm was no longer limited to 40 people a day. It would take four days for each person to enter four realms. Thus, 2,000 people would need 200 days to complete the trial.
The Hua family had strict ideological education methods for all the affiliated aristocratic families, academy students, Household Servants, maids, and even slaves. The family register changed very much every day. Hua Kai let his Fourth Uncle, Hua Zihuan, Hua Xuan, and a few other core members of the family be in charge of the trial for the new members in the family register. Many of these people were going through the trial for the first time, so they were the most useful. Thus, the task of the trial was more difficult to arrange.
"Let the first person complete the trial every day. Just control the family's luck to be more than half. In the future, the number of people who can enter the trial will not be limited.
Ma Zhangwang, you will be in charge of the trial in the Journey to the West world. Everyone can enter the trial as long as they meet the requirements. Try not to interfere with the operation of the Journey to the West world. The plot of the Journey to the West will begin in half a year. At the end of next year, the second plot will start again. Anyone who wants to enter the trial can try, "Hua Kai said to everyone.
Whether it was the development of a family or a country, the most important thing was strength. Strength was the foundation to ensure normal development. The Hua family had the advantage of the family mystic realm, and a large part of it was strength. Hua Kai wanted to maximize this advantage so that China could continue to develop.
"Xu Hua, starting next year, a large portion of the pastures at the foot of Hua Cheng Mountain will be turned into arable land. A large number of pastures will be moved outside Leopard Pass. You have to cultivate a batch of excellent seeds before spring comes. Send students and disciples to the foot of the mountain to guide the planting," Hua Kai said to Xu Hua.
Everyone accepted the order and left. Hua Kai came to the Journey to the West world.
Ten Great Dao Creation Points had been used up by Hua Kai. After spending one point on the Heaven Seeking Stone and one point on Hua Kai, Hua Kai upgraded the other three mystic realms.
There were still five creation points left. Hua Kai used one of them on the crystal pillar, which could increase the number of people in the family register or the number of core members. However, it only increased the number of affiliated family members. This did not mean much to the Hua family.
As for the remaining four Creation Points of the Great Dao, Hua Kai thought that it would be best to use them on the space. Therefore, he used one of the Creation Points on the Journey to the West.
The results exceeded Hua Kai's expectations. Many details and characters that he had not thought of in the past were slowly being perfected under the effect of the Great Dao's Creation Power. The world's laws began to evolve on their own, and the entire world became more stable.
When Hua Kai saw this, he used the second Creation Point of the Great Dao. The distribution of the energy of heaven and earth began to circulate according to a certain order. The original power of the world that he had absorbed last time was gradually being consumed. Hua Kai saw the characters that he had not depicted clearly in the past begin to evolve on their own. This was a new world, and Hua Kai was the Heavenly Dao here.
The third and fourth creation points were used in the Journey to the West world. Hua Kai could feel that a subtle connection had been established between the three realms. Many characters appeared on their own. This world became close to perfection, and the strength of many mighty figures in the world began to increase.
After Hua Kai summoned the Bull Demon King to the real world last time, only a trace of his soul was left. After three years of nurturing and consuming a large amount of the original power of heaven and earth, Hua Kai's strength had returned to normal.
He watched as the original power of heaven and earth that he had absorbed from the Qi of Auspicious Clouds was absorbed by the Journey to the West world.
Although the strength of Golden Immortals and above in the Journey to the West world did not increase by much, there were more and more characters with intermediate strength. This could better stabilize the world's plot and prevent the future from being easily changed. Therefore, Hua Kai had the confidence to let everyone enter the Journey to the West world for the trial this time.
With a son, Hua Kai's life was much more fulfilling every day. Although Hua Chengmin was still young and could not test his aptitude, his intelligence amazed everyone. He knew how to call others when he peed or pooped in a month. When he saw Hua Kai and Wuren Tuya, he waved happily. No one had ever seen a child smarter than him.
The palace had already sealed everyone's mouth. They were not allowed to discuss topics related to the prince outside the palace.
The snow started falling from the first half of November until the end of November. Even the southern countries in the Central Plains had started to see snow this year. This year, winter had entered early, which would increase the intensity of the Desolate Beast attacks. Many cities that were not worried before had already started to prepare.
Hua Kai saw that his family's Luck had started to decrease every day. More than 300 people went to the trial every day. Large amounts of rare stones, high-grade beast hides, and beast tendons were forged into weapons and armor. The Azure Dragon Army had already planned to equip every member with a set of Tier 6 heavy armor. However, Hua Kai had not agreed because the cost was too high. Now, he only gave it to the members of the Squad Leaders and above.
Just the materials required for a set of heavy armor cost more than three thousand gold. Hua Kai would be lucky to be able to forge five hundred sets of armor every year. With the expansion of the Azure Dragon Legion and the increase in strength of the soldiers, equipment upgrades were inevitable. The Military Affairs Council had already planned to build another fifty thousand ordinary cavalry next year.
On the 2nd day of December, the snow in China stopped. The snow had already reached the calves of an adult. Fortunately, China was well-prepared every winter. Although the snow was thick, there was enough fodder for the livestock. Many herders wore warm wool coats. Although the snow was thicker this winter, it was not much different from last year.
There was news from Xia City that a large number of Desolate Beasts had gathered. Chinese Ink was using the Mountain and River Diagram to clear out the Desolate Beasts outside the city, not giving them a chance to expand. Now that he had the Mountain and River Diagram, it was very easy for him to deal with low-grade Desolate Beasts. Hua Kai was not worried about Xia City. However, many Desolate Beasts had begun to gather outside the cities in the Middle East. Tang Lei had led the Undead Army to clear out the Desolate Beasts. This year, they did not dare to be careless.
Hua Kai heard from his second uncle that there was a sudden attack from a devil in the North Mountain, and the Wild Horse Stronghold had suffered heavy losses.
There were no Foundation Building Realm cultivators guarding the North Mountain, so there were very few devil beasts there. However, this time, the stronghold had been attacked.
Hua Kai personally rode the Luma Horse and headed to the North Mountain with Xiao Qiang, leaving Wukong to guard Hua City.
Because the people in the North Mountain were in the mountains, there were many wolves, and the number of Desolate Beasts had been limited to a certain range. The attacks of the Desolate Beasts did not affect the North Mountain much. When Hua Kai arrived at the North Mountain, he felt three strong spiritual energies. He quietly went to the south-central part of the North Mountain. A leopard was attacking a stronghold. A few Connate Realm experts of the Hua family were fighting with the leopard. The stronghold was already evacuated in the middle of winter.
Hua Kai activated the power of his Golden Core and quickly came to the leopard's side. Before the leopard could turn around, the sixth layer of the Ice Will made this low-grade devil beast unable to move at all.
The leopard also felt that danger was approaching. It activated its inner core and was about to self-destruct. At this moment, the Dragon's Courage Spear quickly pierced through the leopard's head. The leopard only hesitated for a moment, and Hua Kai ended its life. He sent the leopard's corpse into his portable space and flew to the next target.
The fleeing crowd below saw a figure flash across the sky, and the powerful leopard disappeared. Only then did people realize that Hua Kai had come. They looked at the figure in the sky, and many people knelt down in the snow. They did not have to run anymore.
When Hua Kai killed the first devil beast, the other two devils seemed to have felt it. When Hua Kai came near the second devil beast, it felt the danger and fled towards the south. Hua Kai did not chase after it and flew towards the third devil beast, which was the Wild Horse Stronghold.
The Wild Horse Stronghold was the second largest city in the North Mountain. It had a population of about 50,000. When Hua Kai arrived, he saw a giant spider fighting with more than ten Connate Realm experts. There were people in the city who were organizing the people to disperse. Some wolves and devils had killed their way into the Wild Horse Stronghold, and there were all kinds of corpses in the city.
It had only been two hours since Hua Kai received the news that the Wild Horse Stronghold had been destroyed. The losses here were already immeasurable.
When Hua Kai approached the spider devil beast, it also felt that it was not a match for Hua Kai. It abandoned the many Connate Realm experts surrounding it and quickly retreated towards the south.
Hua Kai had been chasing this devil beast spider from high up in the sky. This devil beast's spider legs could be used as materials to forge special weapons, and its silk sac and poison sac were very useful. However, it was not easy for him to kill a low-level devil beast head-on.
When the devil beast saw that Hua Kai had the intention to kill it, it was ready to self-destruct at any time.
Hua Kai was confident that he would be fine if he forcefully endured the self-destruction of a low-level devil beast.
When it saw that it was only ten meters away, the devil beast stopped and was about to self-destruct. It could feel that Hua Kai was in the Golden Core Realm, and it was definitely not a match for him.
When Hua Kai saw this, he hurriedly retreated and waited for the devil beast to calm down before continuing to approach.
When the spider saw this, it stopped again and prepared to self-destruct. However, Hua Kai quickly retreated again, and it continued to flee towards the south.
When Hua Kai approached for the third time, the spider's reaction was obviously slower. When Hua Kai was twenty meters away, he saw that the devil beast still had no intention of self-destructing. He used six layers of willpower to bind the devil beast, and the Will of Ice caused its reaction and speed to decrease. When it was about to self-destruct, Hua Kai had already accurately pierced through its body with his Dragon Courage Spear, and the devil beast died instantly.
What was a king? It was to be able to stand up when the people were in danger and quickly deal with the devil beasts. The reason why Qin Zheng was able to gain the support of so many people was because he could easily kill the devil beasts.
Hua Kai patrolled around the southern part of the North Mountain. When he did not find any more devil beasts, he turned around and returned to the North Mountain.
When he reached the sky above the city, Hua Kai landed in the mayor's mansion and saw his second uncle walking towards him with a young man.
