Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Jun Wuxie returned to the mountain range, chatted briefly with the sect's higher-ups, went back to the valley, greeted Jingya, and entered the Eight-Nine Profound Palace.

The war at the border can only be said to be temporarily resolved, but it does not mean it is completely resolved. Regardless of the three sects supporting Wu An or the three sects supporting the Great Qian royal family, their experts are already on their way.

According to reliable information, the experts from the six top sects of Hanzhou who are rushing here are led by elder-level experts.

Elder-level experts are those whose realm is above the Overlord Saint Great Celestial or even the Overlord Saint Supreme Celestial realm.

Jun Wuxie is not afraid of experts of this realm and they cannot pose a threat to him.

However, those top sects in Hanzhou, in addition to the Overlord Saint Supreme Celestial, also have experts in the Half-Step Saint Emperor realm.

The name of the Half-Step Saint Emperor realm contains the words "Saint Emperor", and it is basically not at the same level as the Overlord Saint.

In the Saint realm, each breakthrough of a major realm is a comprehensive sublimation of the cultivator's own being, an elevation of the level of life.

There is a natural chasm between each major realm.

It is quite difficult to defy the odds and overcome those of higher realms, and only those with mythical-grade talent can possibly do it.

Jun Wuxie is currently only at the early stage of the Great Saint Minor Celestial, and there is a whole major realm gap to the Overlord Saint Minor Celestial, and almost two major realm gaps to the Half-Step Saint Emperor.

He is confident that he can defy the odds and kill a Half-Step Saint Emperor, even with relative ease. As long as that Half-Step Saint Emperor is not mythical-grade, there will be no suspense.

But this is only limited to one-on-one combat.

If there are too many Half-Step Saint Emperors, it will be difficult for him to deal with them with his current strength.

The six top sects of Hanzhou have profound foundations and long heritages, with the shortest being more than 500,000 years old.

In such a long period of time, such sects have accumulated countless Half-Step Saint Emperor realm experts who have sealed themselves and slumbered in the forbidden areas of the sects.

Most importantly, no one dares to say that the ancient beings who have sealed themselves and slumbered in the forbidden areas of these sects are only Half-Step Saint Emperors. Who dares to be sure that there are no Saint Emperor realm experts?

After all, time is long, and hundreds of thousands of years will always produce capable people who break through to the Saint Emperor realm in the forbidden area after becoming the foundation, and then seal themselves and slumber until the present era, which is not impossible.

In short, the conflict with the top sects in Hanzhou has only just begun, and although the people sent by those sects are all Overlord Saints, they have not really sent their main force of experts.

The intensity of the confrontation will become greater and greater in the future, until they face the siege of Half-Step Saint Emperors, and eventually even provoke Saint Emperor realm experts.

"I must try my best to have the strength to compete with Saint Emperor realm experts before facing them. At the same time, I must develop the forces around me and prepare everything that needs to be prepared, so that I can unify Qingzhou in the future..."

Jun Wuxie thought a lot. Ruling Qingzhou is not an easy task.

Because the Qingzhou territory is too vast.

For his current realm, it would take a long time to cross Qingzhou, let alone others.

This also means that after unifying Qingzhou, if wars break out in different regions of Qingzhou, or if powerful enemies invade, the forces located in other regions of Qingzhou will find it difficult to provide support in a short period of time, which will be very passive, and the longer the time, the greater the variables.

"After solving the experts from the top sects of Hanzhou who are on their way here, I have to advance into Wu An and take the entire Wu An territory. In order to be able to react quickly in the entire Qingzhou territory in the future, I have to build teleportation arrays between the cities to connect all the cities. In this way, no matter which cities have problems in the future, support can be given in a very short time."

Jun Wuxie thought to himself that the Upper Realm is different from the Lower Realm.

The rules of the Lower Realm are not so strong, and the speed can be very fast.

Moreover, when he first established the dynasty in the Lower Realm, he gathered everyone in one city.

In this Qingzhou of the Upper Realm, judging from the current situation, it is unrealistic to gather everyone.

The world is different, and the situation is different.

"It seems that I can't cultivate for the time being. I have to prepare the materials first, and then cultivate and make teleportation arrays at the same time."

Thinking this way, Jun Wuxie exited the Eight-Nine Profound Palace.

To make teleportation arrays to connect all the cities in Qingzhou is a vast project.

He is now only at the peak of the Saint Inscription Master realm. Not to mention whether he can make such long-distance teleportation arrays, even if he can, it will take a lot of time.

Not to mention the entire Qingzhou, just in the Great Qian territory, there are thousands of cities, large and small, not counting those towns.

There must be tens of thousands of cities in the entire Qingzhou, which means that tens of thousands of teleportation arrays are needed.

If he does it himself, it will take who knows how long, and he doesn't need to cultivate at all, he just needs to make arrays every day.

This is obviously unrealistic.

Therefore, he does not intend to do it himself.

With Master Fu Sheng's divine sense in the Tower of Trials, with his ability, isn't making this kind of array for mutual teleportation between Qingzhou as simple as eating and drinking?

The most critical problem now is that there must be materials for making these teleportation arrays.

Due to the huge number, the amount of materials required is also quite astonishing.

Although not too high-level materials are needed, high-grade second-grade Saint materials plus a small proportion of third-grade Saint materials are enough.

But to make second-grade materials for tens of thousands of teleportation arrays, it is impossible for Great Qian to take them out even if they emptied their treasure house, let alone third-grade.

After coming out of the Eight-Nine Profound Palace, Jun Wuxie went directly to the City Lord's Mansion and found King Ning.

Anning was also here, following King Ning to handle government affairs and learn experience.

He asked about the total number of cities in Great Qian, which made King Ning and Anning stunned, not knowing why he would ask this, but they immediately answered his question.

"There are six thousand three hundred cities, divided into three levels, large, medium, and small, according to the population of the city and the surrounding jurisdiction area. Cities with a population of over 100 million are large cities, those with a population between 30 million and 100 million are medium-sized cities, and those with less than 30 million are small cities. The total population of Great Qian is over 400 billion..."

King Ning explained in detail the data and information of Great Qian.

"Only over 400 billion people, why so few?"

Jun Wuxie couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the total population.

More than six thousand cities, according to the building area of these cities and the surrounding villages and towns under their jurisdiction, the average population per city, even if it is over 100 million, is considered sparsely populated.

For the territory of Great Qian, the per capita area is too sparse.

Great Qian is millions of miles in radius. If it is regarded as a circle with a radius of millions of miles, the area must be trillions of square kilometers.

Such a territory is a thousand times the territory of the Great Zhou in the Lower Realm!

But the population has not reached a thousand times that of the Great Zhou.

"The law strictly controls the population. The current population base is already the maximum base that resources can supply. If the population continues to increase, Great Qian's resources will be difficult to supply, which will cause a disaster for the people, and the problem of food and clothing cannot be solved..."

King Ning talked about the specific situation. According to the current output of grain, vegetables, fruits, and animal husbandry in Great Qian, it is impossible to support more people.

If the population increases and the birth rate increases, more academies will have to be built, which is also a huge challenge for the finances of each city.

He said that the academy resources in each city are already tight. Not to mention that every child can enter the academy to learn literature, martial arts, and other skills when they reach the age, the enrollment rate is less than half.

King Ning said that in this Qingzhou, Great Qian is doing well in these aspects. Wu An is even worse. The dynasties have built fewer academies and the enrollment rate is lower.

Jun Wuxie listened and thought carefully, and it was really so.

When he first came to the Upper Realm, he ate a lot of ingredients from the Upper Realm.

When he first entered the True Martial Peak, the rice they used for cooking, although it contained the aura of life, was very thin.

The most basic food for people in the Upper Realm is spiritual rice.

Ordinary people eat this for three meals a day.

There is no ordinary rice flour in the Upper Realm like in the mortal world of the Lower Realm, because people in the Upper Realm will not live long if they eat that kind of food.

Ordinary people in the Upper Realm do not have cultivation talents. Although they have never cultivated, their bodies are also very good, because the food they eat and the air they breathe contain some holy spiritual energy.

This makes them not weaker than the Qi Condensation realm in the Lower Realm even if they do not practice, and those who exercise slightly can even reach the strength of the Star Chen realm in the Lower Realm.

Because only in this way can they resist the rules of the Upper Realm universe; can they adapt to the huge gravity of the ancient star of life under their feet; can they withstand the extremely high atmospheric pressure under the dense atmosphere.

The oxygen content in the Upper Realm is extremely high. In addition to the different rules of the Upper Realm universe, this is also one of the reasons why people in the Lower Realm have a sharp decline in lifespan when they come to the Upper Realm at the same realm.

"These problems will be solved in the future. After unifying Qingzhou, we need to formulate new and more complete systems and laws to give the people of the dynasty a better living environment and encourage them to have children. Don't be afraid of having a large population, even if it increases tenfold, it doesn't matter."

Jun Wuxie said this. Why establish a dynasty in the Upper Realm?

Uniting strength to resist darkness is one thing, and in the future, when cultivating to the peak of the Divine Realm, to break through the shackles and impact the Legendary Realm, the belief of all living beings is needed to assist in evolving the universe and divine kingdom in the body, which is the second thing!

Therefore, more believers in the real world are the foundation of everything.

He has the faith of all living beings in the Lower Realm. When he comes to this Upper Realm, he naturally cannot miss it and must do the same to lay a better foundation for the future, so that he can become stronger when he reaches that step!

"This..." King Ning and Anning looked at him with shocked eyes, "How does Lord Jun plan to solve the people's livelihood problem? Increasing the population by one time is very terrible, and the problems it brings will be so serious that it is difficult to bear. Increasing it tenfold is unimaginable..."

“Great Qian cannot support a larger population because the food problem remains unresolved. The staple food, spiritual rice, has a low yield, and due to the low quality of energy it contains, consumption is very high.”

Speaking of this, Jun Wuxie smiled faintly and said, “This problem may be difficult to solve for you, but it is not a problem for me. In some time, after resolving the immediate issues, I will begin to address the food problem. By then, the entire dynasty can practice cultivation, without having to worry about basic needs.”

Ning Wang and Anning both showed excitement upon hearing these words.

They found it hard to imagine just how he would solve this problem.

Jun Shen said that even if the population increased tenfold, it would not matter. This was too incredible.

“Alright, let's not talk about this for now. How many cities does the Wu'an Dynasty have in total? Do you know?”

He asked Ning Wang, needing to get the exact number.

“Over five thousand seven hundred cities, slightly fewer than Great Qian, and the territory is also slightly smaller.”

Ning Wang answered truthfully, but he was very puzzled, not understanding what Jun Wuxie was doing by asking for this information at this time.
