Meng En led the way along the street.
Although the surrounding streets had a magical-tech aesthetic, with mechanical spacecraft and battle suits enclosed in glass casings, the overall color scheme was an ancient dark greenish-blue, giving off a worn and aged feel. An uninformed observer might assume they had arrived in some remote, dilapidated ancient city.
Meng En looked at Medusa and continued to explain with a smile, "It's quite obvious. If you wish to advance after coming here, you must be like them. You too must continuously produce countless offspring, cultivating your species to at least hundreds of millions. Here, all Ninth-Tier cultivators bring their entire families. Each Ninth-Tier cultivator has at least tens of billions of clan members, among whom they cultivate and select descendants."
Medusa nodded, "I see. So, after arriving here, I must adapt to this life, start researching 'Dao Artifacts,' and furiously procreate? Thank you for the reminder."
Xu Zhi felt as though a new world had completely opened up to him upon hearing this.
A decadent and monotonous life of a breeding pig!
He now fully understood the lifestyle of the fallen Ninth-Tier cultivators.
Their descendants are the offspring of Dao Achievers, naturally having a partial fusion of soul and flesh, and having already progressed a segment of the Ninth-Tier path, thus reducing the difficulty of reaching the Ninth-Tier. Furthermore, since their descendants are blood relatives, having them cultivate the four bloodline systems identical to their own, and then eventually forming Dao Seeds, means that when the Dao Seed is taken by the parent, its rejection force is minimal!
However, procreating becomes more difficult for more powerful transcendent beings. This implies losing a significant amount of time, consuming vast amounts of vital energy, and impacting cultivation time, which indirectly shortens lifespan. But for these fallen Dao Achievers, it's completely irrelevant. They furiously procreate and cultivate disciples.
That's ruthless!
Xu Zhi was utterly bewildered.
This wasn't just ordinary procreation.
Not being able to cultivate and having nothing to do is terrifying; they spend every day collecting resources and 'sowing seeds.'
Medusa murmured, "The birth of a Ninth-Tier cultivator might seem difficult, but it also depends on whether a Dao Achiever is willing to invest immense effort and resources into their cultivation. These Ninth-Tier cultivators... allow their descendants to cultivate strictly along their own four paths, personally guiding them and expending all costs to nurture them. There's a high probability of them breaking through. After all, forging one's own unique path is difficult, but following the path of one's predecessors is simple. The predecessors have already developed their bloodline systems to their limits and possess cultivation insights from the other three bloodline systems.
"If we compare the hundred-thousand-year lifespan of a Ninth-Tier cultivator to a hundred years for a mortal, then they can achieve three or four generations living together by the age of twenty, forty, and so on! Just like mortals, they pass down their legacy through generations. The next generation can even produce two or three Ninth-Tier offspring, expanding their lineage just like the reproductive capacity of mortals spreading their branches and leaves. What's more, they accelerate the flow of time in their sub-spaces, causing the living beings within to rapidly iterate and age, effectively living a hundred years in one day. It's not surprising that more Dao Achievers emerge this way."
Meng En looked somewhat shocked at this mysterious female Dao Achiever. Although what she said was self-evident, the fact that she deduced it without him mentioning it was quite admirable.
"Precisely," Meng En said with a smile.
Meng En smiled and said, "This is the bottleneck. The birth of the first Ninth-Tier Dao Achiever is extremely difficult; an entire civilization might not break through this bottleneck in its lifetime. But once the first one appears, that clan... can potentially produce multiple Dao Achievers."
Shi Ji listened with great interest.
"This is very interesting."
"This is the benefit of going out."
"Taking a trip out broadens one's horizons, offering fascinating insights into the universe, its wonders, and strange occurrences."
After all, her inherited memories only contained cultivation methods, not knowledge of the universe and its various realms.
"Presumably, by now, you understand our structure here."
Meng En bowed respectfully, adopting a servant-like demeanor. "Next, I suggest you register and purchase a spatial coordinate for your residence. Then, if your combat power is strong, you could try joining some Inspector groups... After all, they also recruit promising newcomers. If your combat power is insufficient, you could join some ordinary groups. Alternatively, you could join some of these nearby shops as an apprentice, helping out and learning artifact-making techniques. With such skills, you can eventually rise." Meng En pointed to the nearby shops, indicating this was also a way to gain strength.
Medusa was momentarily stunned.
As expected, most people here formed factions.
According to this, every 'Inspector' level combatant is controlled by a group, collectively cultivated, gathering resources, and supplying a powerful 'Dao Artifact.' The instantaneous burst of power from each of them would not be weaker than that of the one hundred and seven perfect Dao Achievers in the Abyssal Blue Divine Realm, but their sustained combat power would not be as impressive.
"Among those over a thousand Inspectors, aren't there any... Dao Achievers with perfect Dao Foundations? Individual combatants?" Medusa suddenly asked with a smiling face.
Meng En looked at Medusa in surprise. "Of course there are, though it's only hearsay... The top ten existences have all exchanged for 'Cloud Star Dao Fruits,' perfecting their Dao Foundations once more... Their individual combat power is also exceptionally strong."
Medusa suddenly understood.
That Ju Xiao was an existence who had exchanged for a Cloud Star Dao Fruit! He must be among the top tier of Inspectors, having already transcended and perfected his Dao Foundation. No wonder he personally entered the fray and directly confronted Yuan Yuan; his combat power was truly exaggerated.
Yuan Yuan, Ju Xiao—such terrifying existences... Emperor Qi and Caroline were far from being able to reach their level; they weren't even their opponents, let alone her?
"What groups do you recommend joining?" Medusa asked.
Meng En hesitated, then said cautiously, "This place is one of the nomadic branch outposts, with only over a hundred suppression-level Inspectors. And these hundred-plus aren't simply available for anyone to join. They are almost solidified, essentially family enterprises. Only if a newcomer performs exceptionally well will they be invited as an honored guest from another clan, as an exception. Currently, only new groups established within the last thirty thousand years accept newcomers. This is because once a group survives for thirty thousand years, most of those who remain will break away to establish their own clan groups, procreate, and strive for 'Inspector'-level combat power. As for short-term newcomer groups, I have two excellent recommendations for you, depending on your choice."
Medusa said, "Tell me about them."
"The first is a group called Burning Cloud, established twenty-seven thousand years ago. The group consists entirely of his concubines," Meng En said.
Before them, the handsome phantom of a man in a pure white cloak gradually appeared. His first impression was that of a spirited hero.
"Attaching oneself to a powerful individual, then?" Medusa smiled.
"Yes, there aren't many like him who appreciate beauty and are willing to take on 'burdensome' newcomers... But I heard his bloodline cultivation benefits from cultivating with Dao companions, which is why he does this. However, he is indeed very chivalrous, enjoys beautiful women, is exceedingly generous, and never mistreats those who follow him loyally."
Meng En's voice gradually softened. "It is said that he has already reached the bottleneck of the Inspector tier and is preparing to break through. He has also publicly stated that he will not abandon the women who follow him."
"Such good people are indeed rare," Medusa smiled. "This person is quite interesting..."
"And the other one?"
"The other is an organization named Nyssera, a purely female organization, established over ten thousand years ago," Meng En said. "Their strength is only moderate, quite ordinary. They currently have three Dao Achievers, all of whom are newcomers. There are always such mutual aid organizations in every era, and for newcomers seeking to band together for warmth, it's considered a good place."
"Are there no purely male organizations?" Medusa asked with a smile.
"Of course there are; they also band together for support. But given your identity... I currently recommend these two," Meng En said. "In fact, in our outpost, over tens of thousands of years, these are practically the only groups that still accept newcomers... In the last thirty thousand years, only nine external Dao Achievers have arrived. Including you, that makes ten."
In thirty thousand years, only nine had joined.
Xu Zhi smiled and suddenly interjected, "There's little new blood from outside; most are generated internally, right?"
"Yes, that's exactly right," Meng En affirmed.
Meanwhile, Meng En led Medusa and the others to an office.
Soon, they registered and purchased a spatial coordinate point, allowing them to pinpoint the entrance of their sub-space in that area.
After choosing a good location, Medusa discussed and inquired about the details, then left.
Renimansgar, however, did not interfere from beginning to end. He walked along with his young daughter, simultaneously studying the exchange list in his 'Dao Token,' which included mechanical battle suits, mechanical spacecraft, and various Dao Artifacts.
Meng En watched this scene with great envy, thinking it was better to live off someone else's generosity. He didn't have to do anything; just walk around, look at things, and chat with his daughter... But he still respectfully followed behind, "My Lady, do you think I still meet your expectations? Our family, for generations..."
Medusa turned around and said with a half-smile, "You want to follow us?"
Meng En nodded.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; he had a very good impression of Medusa, otherwise, he wouldn't have been so enthusiastic.
"If you want to come along, then come," Medusa said, not caring. "By the way, regarding Nyssera, take me to join and have a look tomorrow."
