As soon as the new space was opened up, it naturally merged into the The Hongmeng Heavenly Emperor Tower. In that instant, the entire tower ascended to a higher level—from twenty-nine floors, it evolved directly to thirty, now holding thirty layers of internal spatial realms.
Moreover, the space, originally no more than a few thousand li, rapidly expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye, thanks to the feedback from the other twenty-nine internal worlds. With every breath, it surged outward like a tide, expanding violently.
In a flash, it reached over six thousand li in radius. A truly earth-shaking, heaven-altering transformation.
Simultaneously, the Seven Kill Arrow Gourd, which had evolved from the Seven Kill Arrow, also underwent a metamorphosis—ascending to the Profound-grade level. The killing intent emanating from it grew even purer and denser, and the Killing Dao patterns carved into it visibly increased.
Seven Kill Arrow Gourd (玄阶异宝):Now a Profound-grade artifact. It can generate Seven Kill Arrows, each made from pure killing intent.
Arrows do not require retrieval—they pierce into flesh and annihilate the soul.
While consumable, their power far surpasses conventional arrows.
Previously (at Yellow-grade), it could generate 7 arrows/day and store 49 total.
Now (Profound-grade): 9 arrows/day, storage capacity of 108 arrows.
In the tower, using Heaven and Earth energy, it can mass-produce arrows, ensuring an endless supply during battle.
Yi Tianxing couldn't help but feel a flash of joy.
Undoubtedly, this was a true killing artifact—an arrow that could be generated endlessly.
He then looked at the Starshatter Hammer, and with little hesitation, integrated it into the Heavenly Emperor's Tower as well.
Once again, a universe-shaking transformation took place.
In the blink of an eye, the tower advanced to thirty-one layers.
Important milestone – Tower reaches thirty-one levels, and each floor harbors an expansive world.
"Six thousand li already. Not far from seven thousand. With the constant influx of Nightmare Power from the Dream Butterfly World, converting into world origin, it won't be long before it breaks past seven, even eight or nine thousand. Perhaps even breaching the limits of a Minor World, to become a Middle Thousand World."
Looking upon the towering internal realms of his divine tower, Yi Tianxing felt a deep sense of pride. This was true foundation and heritage. With the Dream Butterfly World, the only limitation to the tower's ascension had been completely removed.
All of this happened in the span of a few breaths, unnoticed by the outside world. No one knew the The Hongmeng Heavenly Emperor Tower had undergone another transformation—and its foundation had deepened tremendously.
Afterward, he examined the surroundings.
He had amassed a large haul of worldly treasures.
Among them were many extraordinary architectural artifacts, such as a brewery, a sword-washing pool, a zoo, and a wishing tree.
The Brewery could brew any spiritual wine of Heaven and Earth, with half the effort and double the results.
The Sword-Washing Pool contained mystical water that could refine a sword's sharpness, and even repair broken edges. However, it only worked on swords—not other weapons.
The Zoo was even more formidable. It could capture fierce beasts and birds, tame them using beast-taming methods, and store them within a self-contained space—a miniature world where guests could visit and observe them.
Those skilled in beast taming or pet contracts could even select battle beasts or spirit pets from within.
Wishing Tree (许愿树):Not a normal tree, but a Heavenly Treasure born of the world.
Appears crystalline with no leaves; every leaf is a wish made by someone.
The tree can randomly grant one wish at Yellow-grade, selected from many.
Fallen leaves are unfulfilled wishes and their wish power is recycled to strengthen remaining wishes.
Fulfilled wishes turn into permanent leaves, storing pure wish power and returning gifts to the wisher, such as divine weapons, techniques, or divine abilities.
This is called wish repayment, forming a karmic bond.
Requires large-scale wishing to function; thus, ideal for a large empire like Great Yi.
You could wish for anything.
From meeting your destined love, to transforming your cultivation aptitude from mediocrity to genius, to recovering from near-death wounds—if realized, the changes would be life-altering.
Of course, these treasures were far from cheap.
Architectural artifacts with genuine function were often more expensive than regular Heaven and Earth treasures.
But Yi Tianxing's solution was simple:
Buy, buy, buy!!
With abundant Eternal Coins, what he sought were treasures—and these were true wealth.
He then bought large quantities of cultivation manuals, spiritual herbs, and rare seeds from Jia Chengxin. If it wasn't already in Great Yi's collection, he bought it—eager to strengthen his empire's foundations.
Unknowingly, he had spent billions, possibly close to ten billion Eternal Coins. One could only imagine how much had been acquired.
Whole sections of the shelves were cleared.
Jia Chengxin's smile grew so wide it nearly swallowed his face.
After finishing his shopping spree, Yi Tianxing took his leave and returned to the Imperial Palace on his Roving Bird mount.
The appearance of the Roving Bird in Xuanhuang City naturally drew the attention of many citizens and ministers. They flocked to Jia Chengxin's domain, and upon finding suitable treasures, joyfully bought them. In particular, cultivation manuals were very popular, as they were never truly unique—everyone could benefit from them.
Back in the palace, Cai Yan and the other consorts took little An Ning and Xiao Xianling for a stroll through the imperial gardens, soaking in hot springs and admiring the scenery.
Yi Tianxing, however, didn't join them. He entered a secluded meditation chamber and pulled out a cache of rare metallic ores.
With a thought, his consciousness sank into his Dantian Fate Aperture.
It had changed completely from what it was before. It had evolved into an independent cave-heaven, a miniature realm of its own.
The Spring of Origin Aperture had naturally merged with his Dantian Fate Aperture, and alongside his Five Elemental Apertures—Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth—had collectively formed a Fate Diagram: The Immortal Garden.
Fate Diagram "Immortal Garden" (命图——仙园):
Combines Five Elements + Origin Spring + Dantian Apertures.
Transforms the Dantian into an Immortal Garden Cave-Heaven, an internal world.
Rich in Five Elemental energy, perfectly suited for cultivating spirit herbs and mystical plants.
The Immortal Garden space now spans 1,200 li, continually growing thanks to Ruo Mu (若木, the divine tree).
Becomes a source of sustainable resources, invaluable even to a ruler like Yi Tianxing.
"Creating one's own Immortal Garden—this is something all top cultivators do," Yi Tianxing mused.
"Cultivation is all about resources, and the Immortal Garden provides a continuous supply. Even though I don't strictly need it, given the backing of the Great Yi Empire, having one will undoubtedly serve as an asset for the future."
