Lu Qingyang had been cultivating diligently in the Ten Thousand Heavenly Court for three years.
The unique mysteries of the Heavenly Dao Root far surpassed those of the Immortal Wood Spirit Root.
He gained one hundred cultivation points daily, which delighted him immensely.
Additionally, the spiritual energy within the Ten Thousand Heavenly Court grew increasingly abundant.
The cultivation points bestowed by the Heavenly Dao Root also increased slightly.
Lu Qingyang speculated that if he could further enhance the spiritual energy in the Ten Thousand Heavenly Court, the effectiveness of the Heavenly Dao Root would double.
However,
"The ancient cultivators' war nearly destroyed the world's spiritual veins, leaving only a few weak ones, unable to fully utilize their potential."
Lu Qingyang couldn't help but feel regret.
At present, a weak spiritual vein was hidden beneath the Ten Thousand Heavenly Court.
It originally belonged to the Ten Thousand Secret Realm, and after the secret realm's destruction, the spiritual vein merged here.
It was this weak spiritual vein that allowed Lu Qingyang to fully utilize the Heavenly Dao Root's divine abilities.
Otherwise, achieving the Heavenly Dao Root's daily hundred cultivation points would be as difficult as climbing the heavens.

As a routine, Lu Qingyang checked his status screen every few days.
In three years, he had only accumulated just over seven million cultivation points.
This increase was largely due to the fierce beast tides in recent years. Only after the Human Alliance nearly exterminated all the ferocious beasts did he barely manage to accumulate this amount of cultivation.
If it were in the past, accumulating even two million cultivation points in three years would have been uncertain.
Upon reaching the fifth stage, the cultivation points provided by low-level beasts had become increasingly sparse.
Next,
Lu Qingyang glanced at the Heavenly Court chat group.
At some point, the focus of discussions in the Heavenly Court chat group had subtly shifted from the beast problem to the issue of cross-realm invasions.
Mentioning "cross-realm" made many beings sensitive.
After all, one of the long-pending tasks in the Heavenly Court chat group was to explore the entrance to the otherworld.
Over the years, although some had speculated about the possibility of a cross-realm invasion, it didn't cause much of a stir and was soon overshadowed by other news.
In the past, humanity faced the beast threat and had no time to consider anything else.
Now that the beast threat had been resolved, the issue of the otherworld naturally became the focus of attention.
However,
In Lu Qingyang's view, the sudden emergence of the cross-realm invasion topic was no coincidence, especially at such a delicate time.
"If I'm not mistaken, this must be the Alliance pushing the issue behind the scenes!"
In the early years, the topic of cross-realm invasion was suppressed. Looking back, besides the beast threat, the Alliance's considerations were undoubtedly involved.
Now that the beast crisis was over, the Alliance reintroduced the issue of cross-realm invasion, clearly indicating they had grasped some crucial information.
Lu Qingyang did not prevent this because there was no need to.
A cross-realm invasion would eventually occur, and the Alliance spreading this information served as a psychological warning for all beings.
Simultaneously, Lu Qingyang was also preparing for the cross-realm invasion.
Dealing with a cross-realm invasion was different from eliminating beasts.
Involving the clash of two worlds and seizing the Heavenly Dao Origin, the methods and strategies were particularly important.
As the Heavenly Dao agent, Lu Qingyang was closely connected to this world. If the world could advance to a higher level, he would gain immense benefits.
The most basic benefit was the world's feedback of Heavenly Dao Origin, allowing Lu Qingyang to achieve breakthroughs.
Additionally,
An advanced world would provide a better cultivation environment, from which Lu Qingyang, as a being of the Qingyang Realm, would naturally benefit.
More importantly,
The stronger the world, the more potent the Heavenly Dao's power, and Lu Qingyang, overseeing this realm, would have an incredibly sturdy support.
For instance, the Heavenly Dao Domain,
If the Qingyang Realm could advance to the Second Heaven Dao, the power of the Heavenly Dao Domain would also increase.
Of course,
If Lu Qingyang's cultivation level advanced, the Heavenly Dao Domain could also improve.
But it would never compare to the enhancement from the world's advancement.
"The Heavenly Dao Origin resides in all things, and as the Heavenly Dao agent, the only way to seize the origin from other worlds is through war!"
Reflecting on the fragmented information left by the Heavenly Dao Origin, Lu Qingyang had gained some understanding of acquiring the origin.
Wars between worlds are often extremely cruel.
When two realms clash, if one side retreats, it means the entire world will be devoured, and its beings must either submit to the victor or face complete annihilation.
Such wars involve the survival of billions and are incredibly brutal.
Because for any world, the origin of another world is an immense temptation.
Devouring it would bring boundless benefits.
"All beings born in the world, regardless of size, contain a trace of Heavenly Dao Origin, a necessity of life."
"The more otherworldly beings I slay, the more Heavenly Dao Origin I will gain."
"Additionally, spiritual veins and other treasures between worlds are also invaluable…"
With this thought, Lu Qingyang's consciousness immersed into the Heavenly Court.
The Heavenly Court was no longer confined to the Ten Thousand Heavenly Court but had expanded to cover the entire Qingyang Realm.
Since Lu Qingyang's Heavenly Court Domain transformed into the Heavenly Dao Domain, the Heavenly Court naturally expanded.
But compared to the previous Heavenly Court, the current one seemed more ethereal.
This was expected.
The expansion of the Heavenly Court's territory would inevitably weaken its power in other areas if the Heavenly Court's level did not advance.
Simultaneously, numerous star-like points of light floated above the Heavenly Court.
Some were as small as thumbs, others as large as fists, all floating quietly.
These light points were not ordinary; they were the soul energy of all believers after their deaths, collected by the Heavenly Court and transformed into this form.
As long as the soul remained, beings had the possibility of rebirth.
However, with the current strength of the fourth-stage Heavenly Court, Lu Qingyang couldn't yet resurrect the dead.
But he had a premonition that once the Heavenly Court reached a certain level of power, resurrecting the dead would no longer be an impossible dream.
Perhaps... he could not only establish a Heavenly Court but also create an Underworld!
