Within a few days’ time, the foundational traffic infrastructure was completed in the two regions.

With just this alone, trading processes would be accelerated, costs would be reduced, and the standard of living of countless people would increase.

‘What’s next should be education, commerce, hygiene...’

The voices of countless people rang out in Fang Xingjian’s mind as he looked at the myriad of glows in his consciousness that came from the Jing Region and the Serene Region. There seemed to be multitudes of data flashing in his eyes.

Fang Xingjian could accelerate the production of the hardware components for facilities, but he was unable to hasten the change to people’s thoughts. Therefore, he decided to keep on modifying the basic facilities and use this to raise the citizen’s happiness level, winning over their hearts and strengthening his Dragon Qi from there.

‘I’ll first create the underground water and electrical systems.’

Even Fang Xingjian frowned at the thought of having to complete the water and electrical infrastructure in the two regions.

‘Let’s just take it slowly.’

Just as the Serene Region and the Jing Region were undergoing upheaval changes, the places beyond Middle-earth were also seething.

On a stretch of oasis in the west, flames were soaring in the sky. Women’s cries and men’s bellows formed a brutal scene.

Heavenly Yaksha and White Asura stood next to each other. Their eyes filled with killing intents and the corners of their lips curled into a hint of a cold smile as they looked at the tribe in front of them.

Heavenly Yaksha, who had recovered from his hunchback, chuckled. His voice was like the owl from deep within the mountain, giving off a heart-palpitating feeling.

He asked, “Zhan Tiandi, are you just going to watch as your tribesmen die one by one?”

A man bathed in blood was before the two men. His body was bound by many steel bars while he knelt on the ground. As he watched the disaster occurring before his eyes, tears of blood flowed down from his eyes.

“Blood River Path, I won’t hand over the Demon Sovereign’s legacy even if I die.”

“Seems like you refuse to be convinced until grim reality is right in your face, ” White Asura said, shaking his head. “Bring them over.”

A couple of the Blood River Path’s disciples quickly escorted over ten men and women over. Some of them were wearing light satin clothes while others were dressed in big white long robes. These were the typical dress code for the tribes in the West Domain.

However, their appearances were a mix between the people of Middle-earth and the people from the West Domain.

These people were all the family and disciples of the man who was on his knees—members of the Desolate Era Path from the Demon Sect’s seven paths. It had been over 100 years since they migrated to the West Domain.

Looking at his wife, children, and disciples, there was finally a glimmer of agony in the man’s eyes.

A young married lady dressed in black silk dress knelt and cried, “Husband, Hao`er is only seven years old. Please save him.”

“Father, I don’t wish to die.”

“Master! Save us!”

The corners of White Asura’s lips curled into a cold smile. He slowly walked up to a young boy, using his pale hands to stroke the boy’s cheek while saying calmly, “A seven-year-old child... Wouldn’t it be a pity if he were to die now?”

The boy kept on trembling under White Asura’s stroke, and tears welled up in his eyes. He was clearly extremely scared.

“Enough!” Zhan Tiandi glared at White Asura, but the will to fight in his eyes was almost extinguished. “Let them go. I’ll hand over the Demon Sovereign’s legacy.”

With a tremble, a piece of his flesh on his chest burst opened, exposing his beating heart. A piece of ?? kept on twitching as his heart beat. It was the Demon Sovereign’s legacy that had been passed down through the generations in the Desolate Era Path.

“To think that you actually hid it here?” White Asura looked at the Demon Sovereign’s legacy and broke into an elated smile.

“That’s still not enough,” Heavenly Yaksha said coldly. “Eat this.” Gang Qis flowed, and a stinky green medicinal pill was brought up to Zhan Tiandi.

Having forfeited the Demon Sovereign’s legacy and having his entire clan captured, Zhan Tiandi was feeling extremely dejected. He looked at the medicinal pill and took it without saying a single word.

However, even though he did not ask, Heavenly Yaksha still explained.

“This is the Heart-Devouring Brain-Engulfing Pill that was concocted by the Myriad Poison Path. After taking it, Gu bugs ¹ will lay dormant in your brain. If you don’t take the antidote on the 15th of every month, you’ll have to put up with the pain of having your brain slowly engulfed by the Gu bugs.

“Don’t attempt to attack them with Gang Qis. Before they die, they’ll stir up your brain.”

Just as Heavenly Yaksha was explaining this, White Asura grinned and stuffed another Heart-Devouring Brain-Engulfing Pill into the young boy’s mouth.

At the sight of this scene, Zhan Tiandi’s eyes were filled with so much fury that it felt as if they were going to burst out. All the Gang Qis throughout his entire body seethed, and he let out a furious bellow, charging out toward White Asura.

However, Zhan Tiandi had just stood up when Heavenly Yaksha pressed his head down and smashed it into the sand on the ground.

An explosive boom rang out, and air currents seethed, sending sand soaring into the sky. As Zhan Tiandi went smashing into the sand, he was once again suppressed completely by Heavenly Yaksha.

This Desolate Era Path’s strongest expert was a Tiangang Realm expert. However, he was unable to retaliate against Heavenly Yaksha.

One reason was naturally that he had been inflicted with severe injuries, while the other reason was that Heavenly Yaksha had been strengthened by Blood Sea through the vital energy and blood of several hundred elites from the White Bone Path. The Heavenly Yaksha could be said to have been reborn, and his martial arts have excelled and reached sublimity. Other Tiangang Realm experts who were slightly weaker were no match for him at all.

White Asura broke into a satisfied smile as he watched the young boy take the medicinal pill.

“Zhan Tiandi, I know what you’re thinking. But if you’re going to harbor thoughts of disloyalty, you won’t be the only one who dies. Your son will also die from the pain of having his brain engulfed by the Gu bugs.”

After getting their hands on the Demon Sovereign’s legacy, the two of them no longer had any reservations and started to exploit the very last bit of Zhan Tiandi’s worth.

After taking away Zhan Tiandi and his family, White Asura’s smile became even brighter. “Alright, the Desolate Era Path has surrendered. We already have six out of the seven paths from our Sacred Sect. There’s only the Illusory Emotions Path left.”

“It’s a pity,” Heavenly Yaksha sighed. “If we approached the Myriad Poison Path first, the Steel Blood Path wouldn’t have to die out completely.”

The two of them received orders from Blood Sea to assault the Demon Sect’s seven paths and seize the Demon Sovereign’s legacies. However, by the time they found their second target which was the Myriad Poison Path, they discovered that the Myriad Poison Path had invented a miraculous poison called the Heart-Devouring Brain-Engulfing Pill.

The poison was segregated into mother poison and child poison.

After a person took the child poison, they would need to take the antidote every month to be able to survive. However, this was just its base function.

People who took the child poison would also be unconsciously influenced by the Gu bugs in their brains. They would become increasingly close to the person who took the mother poison. In the end, the former would view the latter as their most important master in this lifetime. This poison was an extremely great weapon used to control experts.

However, it was very difficult to create this thing. The Myriad Poison Path spent over 100 years on it and had only managed to produce two mother poisons and ten child poisons.

Another aspect was that its smell was too strong. It was hard to conceal that stench and thus could not be used in secret. One must first defeat their opponents before forcing them to take the medicine.

Previously, they were worried that the other party would rather die than give in. This was why they fed them the poison only after forcing them to hand over the Demon Sovereign’s legacy.

It was a pity that they had already wiped out the Steel Blood Path before they met the Myriad Poison Path.

Despite that, they still managed to successively subdue the Myriad Poison Path, Steel Blood Path, and this Desolate Era Path. These paths—in addition to the White Bone Path and Steel Blood Path that had been eradicated, their own Blood River Path, and the remaining Illusory Emotions Path—made up the Demon Sect’s seven paths.

“It’s nothing to feel sorry about. With the two of us and the three from the Myriad Poison Path, Sinister Ghost Path, and the Desolate Era Path, we now have a total of five Tiangang Realm experts. The Illusory Emotions Path won’t be able to hold up against us.” White Asura smiled. “We just need to openly kill our way to the Serene Mountain.”
