Yang Hong looked at the worried cultivators and smiled indifferently, then gestured with his hand.
A total of 26,244 five-grade spiritual plants flew out under Yang Hong's guidance, forming four massive three-grade Spirit Gathering Arrays that fused directly on the plain.
The four Spirit Gathering Arrays combined to form a basic Four Symbols Array.
Once the formation was complete, the spiritual energy of the entire plain began to rise slowly.
"Your predecessor's methods are heaven-defying. This junior is in awe."
Lan Fangxuan and the others watched the spiritual plants flying out and felt the clear increase in spiritual energy, all of them were shocked.
They had never known that formations could be set up in such a manner.
Nor had they known that one's divine sense could be so powerful.
"The current Spirit Gathering Arrays are still insufficient. Once I set up more, the spiritual energy concentration will continue to rise."
"As for food, I will cultivate some seeds, and you will need to arrange for people to plant them."
"At the same time, you will also need to teach some people to raise beasts and demonic beasts."
"This way, the food problem can be solved."
Yang Hong continued to assign tasks, as he also understood the importance of food and resources on the path of cultivation.
Lan Fangxuan and the others bowed in reverence once more.
"With Senior's cultivation techniques and this gradually increasing spiritual energy, it is basically possible to achieve cultivation for all.
If Senior's cultivated seeds are sufficiently high-yielding, it will definitely be possible for everyone to cultivate."
"Yes, with such conditions, even if the population continues to increase, we can still popularize cultivation for all."
"Moreover, as long as the entire populace continues to cultivate, we can conquer more islands."
"It is not hopeless for our human race to rule the Myriad Demonic Islands domain."
Those Foundation Establishment cultivators, feeling the increase in spiritual energy, became immensely confident.
They were even imagining dominating the world.
However, Yang Hong was not so blindly confident.
Let alone dominating, the current [Ren Dao Island] would face a certain death and total annihilation if it encountered an eighth-grade Demon Lord.
His strength was still a bit too weak.
"Enough, no more nonsense.
You will now go back and organize the migration of the populace. For food, use the demonic beast meat I left by the sea."
"I hope that while you are on your journey, you will start teaching the commoners and those low-level cultivators to begin cultivating."
Upon hearing Yang Hong's command, Lan Fangxuan was the first to pat his chest and guarantee.
"Senior, please rest assured. This junior will definitely teach the commoners well and strive for Ren Dao Island to enter the era of universal cultivation as soon as possible."
"Very good, I am very satisfied with your attitude.
However, be careful on the road and try to minimize casualties."
"This junior remembers."
Yang Hong said no more, giving all the previously confiscated storage bags to Lan Fangxuan and the others.
One should know that Yu Kewei and the ten demons had annihilated most of the demonic races and demonic beasts on islands large and small within a radius of ten thousand miles, numbering over ten million.
When demonic races died, they would revert to their true forms, and some demonic races had bodies that were hundreds of feet long.
If these ten million demonic beasts were piled up, they would form a mountain thousands of feet high.
Storage bags might not be enough to hold them all.
This demonic beast meat could feed 470,000 people for at least four years.
Even if they ate freely after cultivating, it would last at least two years.
Following this, Yang Hong temporarily left the plain. He intended to use means of moving mountains and shifting seas to further transform Ren Dao Island.
Having had the experience of Yu Liu Island, Yang Hong found the transformation of Ren Dao Island much more familiar.
...
Yang Hong spent a month transforming the island into a nearly circular island with a diameter of 3,600 li.
Next was the adjustment of the spiritual plants on the island.
All spiritual plants of grade three and below were placed in the annular region between 3,000 li and 3,600 li, forming Spirit Gathering Arrays to absorb spiritual energy and elevate the spiritual energy level of Ren Dao Island.
Four-grade spiritual plants were arranged in the annular region between 2,000 li and 3,000 li, forming various defensive formations.
The final 2,000 li was designated by Yang Hong as the core area, where only Yang Hong's five-grade and six-grade spiritual plants, as well as seeds of six-grade spiritual plants, were planted.
No low-grade spiritual plants were planted anymore.
Yang Hong also only spent a month on the formation arrangement and spiritual plant adjustment.
By the time these two tasks were completed, the human race on Ren Dao Island had not yet finished their migration.
After all, the group was mainly composed of ordinary people without cultivation, so their speed could not be fast.
However, as Lan Faxuan and the others began to popularize martial arts, and with the daily supply of demonic beast meat for nutrition, the physical fitness of the populace was constantly improving, and the speed of migration was also gradually accelerating.
Although the migration speed of the populace was very unsatisfactory to Yang Hong, he did not interfere.
This migration journey was also a journey for the human race to help each other and overcome difficulties together.
Even if some people died along the way, and he had the ability to save them, he endured and did not intervene.
Through this journey, the common people gained a considerable understanding of self-reliance and unity.
Therefore, he was unwilling to interfere with the migration matters.
When he finished dealing with the formations and spiritual plants of Ren Dao Island, he found Lan Faxuan and two other Golden Core realm cultivators.
"Senior wishes to learn alchemy? This is a legacy of my sect and cannot be casually passed on."
Lian Yuanming did not agree immediately upon hearing Yang Hong's request for alchemy techniques. His face showed difficulty and reluctance.
Yang Hong's brows furrowed, and he began to feel a bit of anger. He asked in a deep voice,
"Conditions?"
"Hmm~ As long as Senior joins my sect, I will teach you.
And I will respectfully call Senior my elder martial brother."
Lian Yuanming cautiously observed Yang Hong's expression and carefully stated his condition.
From their interactions and understanding during this period, he knew that although Yang Hong was ruthless towards demonic races, he was truly good to humans and had a generally good temper, always agreeing to ordinary requests.
"Senior may not know, but my sect is Yuan Ding Sect, a fourth-grade sect. We have a seventh-grade Integration realm senior guarding it, and we are a significant power in the Myriad Demonic Islands domain."
Lian Yuanming brought up his sect to increase his persuasiveness.
However, he seemed to have forgotten that just over two months ago, Yang Hong had just killed three seventh-grade Demon Lords,
one of whom was at the late stage of seventh-grade!
"I will give you a chance to rephrase. Say it again."
Yang Hong's expression completely darkened. Lian Yuanming's words sounded like a threat to him.
"Senior, what I said is the absolute truth. My Yuan Ding Sect possesses fifth-grade alchemy inheritance. As long as Senior joins my Yuan Ding Sect, I will offer it with both hands."
Although Lian Yuanming saw Yang Hong's displeasure, he did not back down and continued to plead.
"Heh heh~"
Yang Hong had lost his patience for idle talk. With a flash of his body, he appeared before Lian Yuanming. Under Lian Yuanming's terrified gaze, he grabbed his neck and lifted him up.
"Pre~ Predecessor~"
Lian Yuanming was terrified, his face pale, and he wanted to explain something.
But Yang Hong no longer wanted to listen.
He released his powerful divine sense, directly searching through all of Lian Yuanming's storage bags.
Without Lian Yuanming's consent, his divine sense forcefully broke through the restrictions within and examined the items.
"Puff~ Puff~ Puff~"
The forceful cracking of the storage bag restrictions caused Lian Yuanming to suffer considerable divine sense backlash, spitting out several mouthfuls of blood.
In a short while, Yang Hong found three jade slips: one was the cultivation technique of Yuan Ding Sect, one was alchemy techniques, and the last was a recipe for a second-grade pill.
"This time, I won't kill you. Later, record a copy of your medicinal recipes and alchemy experience for me.
Otherwise~ you die!"
Yang Hong did not even have the mood to expose Lian Yuanming's little tricks.
"Yes~ Yes, I obey."
Having experienced a near-death threat, Lian Yuanming finally remembered the terror of Yang Hong's previous slaughter of demonic races.
"Senior, this is my alchemy technique."
"Senior, this is my alchemy inheritance."
Without Yang Hong needing to speak again, Lan Faxuan and Lu Baoshan, who were maintaining the migration team from a distance, very conscientiously sent over their respective alchemy inheritances.
Often, killing the chicken to scare the monkeys was a good strategy.
