While Su Po rushed to search, Zhang Dongyun, who was in the Daming Palace in Chang 'an City, was lost in thought.
The Seven Luminaries Silk had been brought back, and Chen Chaoyan had regained the memories of Mo Li's past life. All of this was basically no secret to Zhang Dongyun.
Twilight Mist was a disciple that Mo Li had accepted after reincarnating in the Yan Huang World and becoming a mighty figure of the Pure Yang Palace.
Twilight Mist might not know the details of Mo Li's experience outside the Yan Huang World.
Zhang Dongyun initially suspected that perhaps Mo Li had made some wise friends outside the Yan Huang World. For the sake of their past friendship, the other party helped to look after the Seven Luminaries Silk and did not give outsiders a chance to seize it.
But after Zhang Dongyun carefully combed through all the information he got from Chen Chaoyan, or rather from Twilight Mist, he found that Mo Li was quite reclusive in his initial life and rarely interacted with others.
Mr. Fang Cun, who later fell out with him, was already one of his few friends.
Only Fang Cun had such a high level of cultivation.
But the problem was that Fang Cun was no match for Li Shulou.
If it was the other way around, Li Shulou was the guardian of the treasure, and he could suppress Fang Cun to not dare to act recklessly.
But Fang Cun obviously had not interacted with Li Shulou before, and had not found the Seven Luminaries Silk alone.
If Mr. Fang Cun could not do it, of the remaining people that Mo Li interacted with, no one could compete with Li Shulou.
It was also not like anyone could improve rapidly under a fortuitous encounter and cross more than one chasm in a short time.
From this point of view, it could be ruled out that this unknown person was related to Mo Li's past life.
Anything that had to do with Li Shulu was really confusing …
Wait.
Zhang Dongyun's heart suddenly moved slightly, as if a flash of inspiration.
He calmed his heart and was silent for a long time.
The current clues were too few.
Zhang Dongyun thought for a moment. After straightening out his thoughts, he finally put this matter aside for the time being and waited to see if Su Po could gain anything from this trip. At that time, it would be easier to verify with each other.
Putting this matter aside for the time being, Zhang Dongyun's attention returned to the system construction mission and his own cultivation.
He stood up from his seat, walked down the steps, and stood in the middle of the hall.
Then, his figure suddenly flashed. It was as if he had ignored the distance between them and teleported from the center of the hall to the entrance of the hall.
It was as if he had been standing there all along.
After standing at the entrance of the hall, Zhang Dongyun turned around and threw a punch.
At the center of the hall where he had been standing, the void suddenly shook slightly.
Seeing this, Zhang Dongyun first nodded slightly, then gently shook his head.
The twelfth level of the Martial Emperor Realm was also known as the third level of the Martial Emperor Realm. Its name was Sweeping the Eight Wastelands.
At this realm, the martial emperors comprehended the spatial quintessence and their physical bodies were extremely tough. Therefore, within a certain distance, they would be able to move almost instantaneously as though they were shifting space.
With such a miraculous effect, it finally allowed martial artists to solve the problem of focusing their attacks and getting close to their opponents to a certain extent. It would no longer be so easy for cultivators of other cultivation paths to pull away from them.
However, at this realm, in order to have this kind of effect that was close to teleportation, it still required the cultivator's own physical body to traverse the void.
But if one reached a higher level and reached the thirteenth realm of the martial way, which was the fourth realm of the Martial Emperor realm, the Expansion Six Directions Realm, it would be a completely different scene.
The martial artist himself did not move. He stood on the spot and raised his hands and feet. The powerful force seemed to be able to ignore the distance between them and immediately appear and attack the target.
It was as if the punch, kick, blade, and sword were not released by the martial artist himself. Instead, they appeared out of thin air near the target.
Reaching this realm, when a masculine and powerful martial artist made a move, they would also have unfathomable abilities.
At an extremely close distance, the attacks that seemed to appear out of thin air would come and go without a trace. Many opponents simply could not react before they were hit.
Zhang Dongyun stood at the entrance and threw a punch at the center of the hall.
The space in the center of the hall seemed to ripple out of thin air.
This meant that he had gradually begun to grasp the knack of it and was infinitely close to the thirteenth realm.
However, it was only a ripple. It was not Zhang Dongyun's punch that had pierced through the void to attack and maintained its full power.
This meant that if he wanted to truly reach the thirteenth realm, he would still need a period of accumulation and polishing.
Zhang Dongyun was calm. He was not anxious and continued to cultivate.
He did not know how long he had been cultivating. Time flew by.
A year passed in the blink of an eye.
In this year, Chang 'an City and the Yan Huang World welcomed a rare period of peace and development.
The thing that made Zhang Dongyun the happiest was the completion of the last construction mission a few months ago.
[The literacy level of the people under the rule of Invincible City has greatly improved. The illiteracy rate has dropped to below 10%. Congratulations to the City Lord for completing construction mission 11.4. You have received a reward of 7,000 experience points for leveling up.]
Shen Herong's painstaking efforts had not been in vain.
With her efforts, at least in the Dong Sheng Divine Continent, the number of people who were illiterate was uncountable.
Although she did not know that she had helped Zhang Dongyun complete an important construction mission, she was still very pleased.
While helping Zhang Dongyun, she had also benefited from it. She had successfully reached a higher level on her current cultivation path.
Therefore, Shen Herong also began to cultivate in seclusion a few months ago after notifying Zhang Dongyun.
Zhang Dongyun sneaked a peek and realized that Shen Herong's closed-door training was about writing on a piece of paper.
She repeatedly wrote the same word:
"Quiet."
Obviously, it was her lifelong wish to educate the world and spread literary talent. Now that she had a clue, she could not help but feel excited.
And this state of mind was not conducive for her to break through her current realm.
Therefore, Shen Herong kept writing in seclusion to calm her mind.
It was interesting to say that as she wrote, she was immersed in the sea of words and did not rush to break through to the fourteenth realm.
Zhang Dongyun did not rush her.
It was true that Shen Herong was distracted, but in her current state of mind, being distracted was not harmful. She would not go berserk. Instead, it was another layer of accumulation.
It was not for the accumulation of breaking through to the fourteenth realm, but for the accumulation of continuing to climb up after breaking through to the fourteenth realm.
Zhang Dongyun naturally would not disturb her.
After completing the previous construction mission, he was rewarded with 7,000 construction experience points.
As a result, City Lord Zhang had accumulated a total of 28,600 experience points through his construction.
He was not far from the 32,000 points needed for this upgrade.
He should be able to complete one more mission.
However, the new mission that refreshed made Zhang Dongyun scratch his head.
[Construction Mission 11.5 — Invincible City currently covers a vast area and has hundreds of millions of people under its rule. City Lord, please improve the livelihood and medical care of the people and increase the average lifespan of ordinary people to more than 50 years old.]
A few months ago, Zhang Dongyun had just refreshed this character. When he saw the content of the character, he did not take it seriously at first.
After all, he felt that 50 years old did not seem to be a high requirement.
However, when he browsed the system description further, he could not help but fall silent.
The system finally gave an automatic calculation for this mission. It could directly tell Master Zhang the average lifespan of the people under his rule.
Before the rise of Chang 'an, the average lifespan of the people of Dongsheng Divine Land was 25.2 years old, which stunned Zhang Dongyun …
He knew that in the ancient feudal dynasties, the average lifespan of people was not high because of many reasons such as low productivity, many diseases, and war.
However, it was still unexpected for it to be so low.
He quickly thought of a problem that he had ignored earlier.
In this world, most cultivators did not avoid ordinary people when fighting.
In their eyes, the death of ordinary people was no different from withering plants and cracking stones.
A casual exchange of two moves by the top experts could cause thousands of miles of land to be scarred.
What was even more exaggerated was that when Zhang Dongyun split the Aparagodaniya, he still remembered to move people away.
When Li Shulou fought Lei Han and completely split the Western Continent of the Aparagodaniya into two halves, he did not think about this.
This was also an unintentional effect.
If they encountered big demons that ate people, or demons, or martial artists that cultivated by killing, it would be as easy as drinking water and eating to eliminate the population of an entire city.
Under such circumstances, it would be strange if the average lifespan of people was high.
If it were not for the fact that Lou Ning, Liu Chengyu, and the others were herdsmen who more or less cherished the strength of the people and tried their best to eliminate demons, the situation would probably be even more exaggerated.
This was also because the number of disciples in this world was really vast, and the population seemed to be relatively high.
However, in fact, more people died.
To be honest, Zhang Dongyun estimated that the Aparagodaniya, which had been peaceful for many years, had a better performance in this regard than the Dongsheng Divine Land.
Of course, with the rise of Chang 'an, there was no need to worry about this problem in the Dongsheng Divine Land.
As Chang 'an pacified the land, and because Master Zhang loved and sympathized with the people, the subordinates followed suit. After Chang' an established control over the current area of Invincible City, the average lifespan of ordinary people directly skyrocketed to more than 40 years old.
Without the chaos of war, the Hall of Heavenly Works promoted the development of agriculture and prohibited cultivators from harming the people. The effects of this multi-pronged approach were remarkable.
The System finally sympathized with Master Zhang for once, and did not make him suffer for decades. It really only counted when he saw the average lifespan of people increase.
The System directly made an estimate based on the current living conditions of the people in Invincible City.
This estimate was accurate. Zhang Dongyun let out a long sigh of relief, and at the same time, it also gave him more motivation to work harder.
At present, the main factors that still restricted the average lifespan of the population were diseases and the standard of diet and nutrition.
Therefore, Zhang Dongyun's role in the past few months was to capture cultivators and refine elixirs and medicines with all his strength.
Chen Yu, Ma Kun, and the others in the Hall of Heavenly Works also allocated a considerable amount of energy to agriculture and water conservancy.
It could be said that the effect was remarkable.
The real effect, of course, could not be seen immediately. However, according to the System's estimate, the average lifespan of ordinary people had rapidly increased by 48.1 years.
They were not far from their final goal of 50 years old.
Master Zhang looked at the numbers displayed by the System and was very satisfied.
Then, he smiled.
At the same time, the years of peace seemed to be temporarily suspended.
In the Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun waved his hand, and a light image appeared in mid-air. It was from Fu Yuting of the Senluo Sword Palace, who had not been contacted for a long time.
She had found Feng Qi, the Palace Master of the Senluo Sword Palace.
