Within a few days, the basic transportation infrastructure had been completed across the two regions.
Just this alone could greatly accelerate the circulation of goods, lower the cost of goods, and improve the quality of life of countless people.
'Logically speaking, the next step should be education, commerce, health …'
The voices of countless people rang out in Fang Xingjian's mind. He looked at the Jing Region and the Serene Region that were emitting countless lights in his consciousness, and there seemed to be countless numbers flashing in his eyes.
Fang Xingjian could rapidly build the facilities in terms of hardware. However, he was unable to change people's thoughts at a rapid speed. Therefore, he still decided to keep on modifying the basic facilities to increase the people's happiness. He wanted to make the people feel what they wanted and to strengthen his Dragon Qi.
'Therefore, I'll first build the sewage system and electricity system.'
Even Fang Xingjian frowned at the thought of completing the construction of the water and electricity systems in the two regions.
'I'll take it slow.'
Just as the Serene Region and the Jing Region were going through tremendous changes, a storm was raging outside Middle-earth.
In the west, in an oasis, flames soared into the sky. Women's cries and men's bellows formed a cruel scene.
Heavenly Yaksha and White Asura stood side by side, looking at the massacre in the tribe. The corners of their lips curled up into a cold smile.
Heavenly Yaksha, who had recovered from his hunchback, chuckled. He was like an owl in the deep mountains, giving off a feeling of trepidation.
He said, "Zhan Tiandi, are you going to watch as your tribesmen die one by one?"
Before the two of them was a man covered in blood. His body was tied up by many steel rods as he knelt on the ground. He looked at the calamity before him, and tears of blood flowed down from his eyes.
"Blood River Path, even if I die, I won't hand over the legacy of the Demon Emperor."
"You won't shed a tear until you see your coffin." White Asura shook his head and said, "Bring the person over."
A few disciples from the Blood River Path quickly escorted over ten men and women over. Some of them wore thin muslin, while others wore long white robes. They were the typical attire of the Western Region's tribes.
However, from their appearances, they seemed to be mixed-blood people from Middle-earth and the Western Region.
In reality, all of them were the relatives and disciples of the man kneeling before them. They belonged to the Desolate Era Path, one of the Seven Paths of the Demon Sect. They had been living in the Western Region for over a hundred years.
Looking at his wife, children, and disciple, a trace of pain finally flashed in the big man's eyes.
A young woman in a black gauze dress knelt on the ground and cried, "Master, Hao 'er is only seven years old. Please save him."
"Dad, I don't want to die."
"Master! Save us! "
The corners of White Asura's lips curled up into a cold smile, and he slowly walked up to a little boy. His pale palm slowly stroked the boy's face, and he said calmly, "A seven-year-old child. Wouldn't it be a pity if he were to die now?"
Under the caress of White Asura's palm, the little boy trembled all over, and tears kept on welling up in his eyes. It was clear that he was extremely afraid.
"Enough!" Zhan Tiandi glared at White Asura, but his will to fight was almost completely gone. "Let them off. I'll hand over the Demon Emperor's legacy."
Zhan Tiandi's body trembled slightly, and a piece of flesh in front of his chest suddenly burst open, revealing his beating heart. Above his heart, a metal plate kept on beating along with his heart. It was the Demon Emperor's legacy, which had been passed down from generation to generation by the Desolate Era Path.
"To think that you hid it here?" White Asura looked at the Demon Emperor's legacy, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.
"It's still not enough," Heavenly Yaksha said coldly. "Eat this." As Gang Qis circulated, a green-colored medicinal pill with a foul smell was brought before Zhan Tiandi.
Now that he had lost his legacy and his entire clan had been captured, Zhan Tiandi was already disheartened. When he saw the medicinal pill before him, he ate it without saying a single word.
However, even though he did not ask, Heavenly Yaksha still had to explain.
"This is the Heart-Devouring Brain-Engulfing Pill developed by the Myriad Poison Path. After taking it, gu bugs will hide in your brain. If you don't take the antidote on the fifteenth of every month, you'll suffer the pain of having your brain slowly devoured by the gu bugs.
"Don't try to use Gang Qis to attack them. Before they die, they'll crush your brain."
Just as Heavenly Yaksha was explaining, White Asura giggled and stuffed another Heart-Devouring Brain-Engulfing Pill into the young boy's mouth.
At the sight of this scene, Zhan Tiandi's eyes almost popped out of his eye sockets. Gang Qis seethed all over his body, and with a furious bellow, he charged out toward White Asura.
However, he had just stood up when Heavenly Yaksha pressed down on his head, sending him crashing fiercely toward the yellow sand under his feet.
Amidst an explosive boom, air currents rose, and sand soared up into the sky. Zhan Tiandi was smashed into the yellow sand, and he was completely suppressed by Heavenly Yaksha.
This Desolate Era Path's strongest expert, a Tiangang Realm expert, was currently unable to put up any resistance before Heavenly Yaksha.
One reason for this was because he had suffered serious injuries. The other reason was that Heavenly Yaksha had been strengthened by Blood Sea through the vital energy and blood of several hundred White Bone Path's elites. He could be said to have been reborn, and his martial arts had already reached perfection. 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 consume the pill in his hand.
"Zhan Tiandi, I know what you're planning. However, if you harbor any other thoughts, you won't be the only one who'll die. Your son will also die from the pain of having his brain devoured by the bugs."
The two of them, who had obtained the legacy of the Demon Emperor, no longer had any reservations. They started to squeeze out whatever value they had from each other.
After getting someone to bring Zhan Tiandi's family away, White Asura's smile grew increasingly brilliant. "Alright, the Desolate Era Path has surrendered. Six of our Sacred Sect's seven paths have gathered, and only the Illusory Emotions Path is left."
"It's a pity." Heavenly Yaksha let out a sigh. "If we had sought out the Myriad Poison Path first, the Iron Blood Path wouldn't have died out in vain."
The two of them had been under Blood Sea's orders to attack the Demon Sect's seven paths and snatch the legacy of the Demon Emperor. However, when they found their second target, the Myriad Poison Path, they discovered that the other party had developed a miraculous poison called the Heart-Devouring Brain-Swallowing Pill.
This poison was separated into a mother pill and a child pill.
After consuming the child pill, the person would need to consume the antidote every month in order to continue living. However, this was only the basic function.
The person who had consumed the child pill would be subtly influenced by the gu bugs in their brains. They would develop an increasingly stronger sense of closeness toward the person who had consumed the mother pill. In the end, they would almost treat the other party as the most important master in their life. It could be said to be an unrivalled weapon used to control experts.
However, it was very difficult to create. The Myriad Poison Path had spent over 100 years of effort, but they had only managed to create two mother pills and ten child pills.
Another reason was that the smell was too strong. That stench was something that could not be concealed no matter what method was used. Therefore, it was impossible to use it as a poison. They could only defeat their opponents and then force them to consume it.
Previously, they had been worried that the other party would rather die than submit. Therefore, they had forced the other party to hand over the Demon Emperor's legacy before feeding them the medicine.
It was a pity that before they encountered the Myriad Poison Path, they had already wiped out the Iron Blood Path.
Despite this, they had successively subdued the Myriad Poison Path, Sinister Ghost Path, and the Desolate Era Path. In addition to the already wiped out White Bone Path, Iron Blood Path, and their own Blood River Path, as well as the remaining Illusory Emotions Path, there were now seven paths in the Demon Sect.
"There's nothing to feel pity about. With the two of us and the three people from the Myriad Poison Path, Sinister Ghost Path, and Desolate Era Path, we have a total of five Tiangang Realm experts. It's impossible for the Illusory Emotions Path to fend them off." White Asura smiled. "Next, we'll just have to fight our way up to the Serene Mountain."
