Chapter 491: Wide Area Immortal Path Comprehensive Exchange Center
As expected, the Jade Emperor immediately said seriously upon hearing this: "This is a pioneer of our world, so he should be treated with courtesy and not neglected."

Gu Qingyuan waved his hand: "You are too kind, too kind. It is nothing more than a deal made by fate. I gave them a future, and they explored the way with their bodies. Neither of us owed anything."

The Golden Emperor suddenly spoke up: "I wonder what the second path you mentioned is like?"

Gu Qingyuan then spoke up: "The advantage of the cultivation path is that it only consumes the vitality of heaven and earth. The cultivators fight and control the spiritual energy, which then returns to heaven and earth. Even if some spiritual energy is consumed in the process, as long as the cycle of heaven and earth continues, the overall balance of spiritual energy will not be broken."

“But this method is useful for humans, but it is difficult to benefit the world. Once the practitioners reach the boundary of the world, the spiritual energy is not enough. They either kill some and keep some, or shift the contradictions and find a world to attack and plunder other worlds. In the final analysis, a group of practitioners will be consumed. If we want the world and humans to live in peace, the world needs to grow on its own.”

Gu Qingyuan opened his palm and a bunch of characters popped up. On them were some symbols of the growth trend of spiritual power functions and the spiritual energy consumption curves of practitioners at different levels. He pointed to one of the intersections and said:
"The growth of a world and the increase in the population of living beings will form a balance, and this intersection is the end point of the balance. Once it is broken, it means that the spiritual energy income and expenditure of heaven and earth and the number of cultivators are unbalanced. Either the gods and humans will kill each other and countless cultivators will be lost, or the world will return to the ruins and collapse. What we have been discussing is to postpone this fulcrum indefinitely."

The Jade Emperor and the Golden Emperor had also listened to Gu Qingyuan explain the art of arithmetic to Zhang Yansheng. They knew all the formulas by heart. In addition, with Gu Qingyuan's extraordinary calculation ability, they could naturally understand it. If such a person were to fall into another world, he could drive the technological advancement of the entire world with his own strength.

This is the relationship between heaven and earth and cultivators. Otherwise, there would not be the saying that cultivation is the way to go against heaven. If there were no Daluo who could break logic and realize concepts such as infinite energy and perpetual motion machines, this would be the eternal proposition that every world must face.

Gu Qingyuan tapped the Dao Seed, and then a shadow appeared. It was the shadow of a magic weapon: "This second path is actually a downgraded version of my fundamental Dao. It uses the foundation-building pill transformed by the nerve worm to add a magic organ spiritual root to mortals."

"Then use the spiritual energy to deduce the evolution of the magic organ to form a life-long magic weapon. Its essence is the auxiliary soul of the cultivator. Then use this auxiliary soul to open up the inner scene of the cave heaven in the body, and use the magic weapon to suppress the inner scene of the world. In fact, it is still a method of refining the false to cultivate the true, turning the inner scene of the illusory world into the outer scene of the cave heaven. When taking action, they carry the power of the cave heaven, and everyone is the master of the cave heaven."

"The most wonderful thing is that once the master of this cave dies, the cave will not be destroyed, but will be transformed into a secret realm between heaven and earth. His accumulation and life magic weapon will be left in the cave, waiting for someone to open the secret realm, and then it can be given to future generations."

Gu Qingyuan stretched out his hand, and a world model as big as an egg appeared, with caves of different sizes inside that looked like ant eggs attached to them.

"The more cultivators there are, the more secret cave realms will be left behind. With this support, the heaven and earth will become more stable. The spiritual energy, skills, and principles of the cave masters who have worked hard to cultivate are also bound in the caves, waiting for future generations to take them. This can also reduce the losses caused by the cultivators' cultivation process, which can be regarded as a secondary utilization of resources."

The Jade Emperor finished his deduction in a flash and exclaimed: "This method is indeed amazing. Instead of focusing on reducing the loss of cultivators, it is better to reuse resources. The stronger the cultivators, the more prosperous the world. Even if the balance is broken one day, by then, we will have a deep enough foundation to deal with the catastrophe."

Gu Qingyuan smiled slightly: "In this case, my Huangting Inner Scenery Avenue will depend entirely on you, Daoist friend, to perfect it."

Of course, his soul path has not been completed yet, and Gu Qingyuan did not come here to work for nothing. He just built a framework and painted a delicious pie for the Jade Emperor in order to use his hand to improve himself. Otherwise, if he relies on himself alone, he will never be able to succeed.

If he wanted to achieve the same as others' ten thousand years of hard work in just a few decades, he could either devour a world like the original master and use it for himself, with no shortage of skills and resources, or he could take a different approach and let others provide resources. He could only blame the fact that there were always people outside of the world, and there were countless powerful people, and the realm level was also very high. It was difficult to break through the limit just by devouring a world. And there was a giant of immortals in front of him, spanning several timelines. It would be a waste if he didn't use him. Gu Qingyuan only needed to come up with a plan, set up a framework, and fill it in. Naturally, a technician named Yudi who did not want to reveal his name would do it for him. Why not? As for the final result, whether what he got was completely unrelated to the original plan, that didn't matter. He just needed a path to learn from, and the rest needed to be perfected by himself.

The Jade Emperor was stunned, then smiled and said, "So you are waiting for me here. That's good. I can discuss the Dao with fellow Taoists and spread the Dharma. It will be of great benefit to me. I will invite several Buddhas and friends from the immortal way to discuss this matter. I will bear all the expenses."

He is also wealthy and powerful. The Jade Emperor is not just the master of one heavenly world. In other timelines, he is also a giant in the immortal way. Even if no one else comes to help, the homologues from other timelines can make up a table.

"There is no rush for this matter, just set the rules," Gu Qingyuan waved his hand, pointing to the world model: "Daoyou, look, this cave relic, the secret realm of heaven and earth has a lot to offer."

"You are so good, Gu Qingyuan. You are trying to trick me with your words. Just tell it all in one go and don't keep me in suspense any longer!" The Jade Emperor scolded with a smile.

Gu Qingyuan smiled: "I have been through many worlds. If we talk about staleness, the most serious one is the immortal way. There has been no change for tens of thousands of years. The cultivation methods are the same as before. The cultivation world is like stagnant water. How can this be a good thing?"

“It is important to understand that letting a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend is the right path. Only by constantly gathering, innovating, and iterating knowledge can brilliant sparks of wisdom be created. Then, once the old law is no longer suitable, there will be capable people who will innovate and create a new world. Only then will there be eternal spring and renewal of all things.”

He pointed to the secret realm and said, "Now that you can communicate with your counterparts in other timelines, why don't you open up a wider way of communication, open up the door of communication, and introduce the cultivation methods of other worlds?"

"We only need to adjust this secret realm, separate the laws of heaven and earth inside it from the outside world, and adapt it to the cultivation methods of other worlds. When the secret realm is opened and the magic weapons are taken away, the secret realm will naturally collapse and merge into the world. The laws of heaven and earth inside will also merge into the outside world, and the cultivation methods of other worlds will naturally be suitable for this world."

"The source of water keeps pouring in, and the skills are updated from generation to generation. Why should we worry about this world not prospering?"

"To go deeper, we should broaden our horizons. Why should we be limited to the creatures of one world? The cultivators from other worlds can also enter the secret realm to train. We can tidy up the secret realm, leave some suitable magic weapons and skills, and set up a few tests. It's not too much to just charge a small entrance fee, right?"

"Establish another Immortal Division, invite several powerful people to invest, stand firm and support, recruit talents from all walks of life, and publish all the tasks that the leaders of various walks of life are not suitable to handle, or want to solve, in the name of tasks. Naturally, there will be people vying to do it. It's nothing more than building a currency system and purchasing some external objects such as magic weapons and skills. As long as there are many powerful people who invest, there will be no worries about no one following up."

"Those with higher cultivation levels should be given a shareholder position, and those with lower cultivation levels should at least pay the membership fee, right? Then, we, the initiators, will be able to get things done without spending a penny, and we can also make money from it."

He was trying to persuade her step by step, but in his heart he was thinking about what name to give this world? The Interchange Center of All Worlds? The Place of the Six Paths of Reincarnation? Or perhaps a Comprehensive Dojo of the Wide-area Immortal Realm?
