Chapter 60: Bottleneck - 60
As Zhou Fan cultivated, 2 more years passed. All of a sudden, Qi shot out of his body and he broke through to the 10th level of soul formation.
Finally, his soul was a complete part of him. From now on, there would be no more differences between his mind, body, and soul. They would continue to grow equally and together, unless Zhou Fan purposely cultivated one more than the other.
In an attempt to break through to the next realm, Zhou Fan cultivated for another year.
However, even after a year, he didn't break through. Instead, he felt that he was only a quarter there. After feeling that, he decided to postpone further cultivation.
Since he was going to create a school, there were many things to set up, and once he got them started, he could go into cultivation for another 3 years as he waited for everything to be ready.
Otherwise, he would have to do all of it later and still wait a while.
After standing up, Zhou Fan flew out from the mountain. His current speed was nothing like before. If he decided to go in that direction, he would make it back to the cave in 5 minutes.
However, he first made a detour to the mortaniel empire. With their help, everything would go much smoother and faster.
--------------------
In the throne room of the mortaniel emperor's palace, the last man was giving his report.
Nothing much had changed in the last few years and the emperor was even thinking of retiring.
"... And last but not least, the bubble surrounding the Chiha mountain range hasn't weakened or fallen. Investigations have continued, but nothing else can be examined. It is highly likely that it is an act of god." The man said, finishing his report.
"You may leave." The emperor commanded with a neutral face.
"Of course, long live the emperor." The man said as he left.
Alone in the throne room, the emperor had a troubled expression. While the bubble hadn't caused any harm or even shown signs of danger, he couldn't help but worry.
"There is no need to worry." A voice sounded out.
Hastily turning his head, the emperor looked at the figure that appeared beside him.
His long gray hair reached his waist and his clothes seemed to be made of the world itself.
Naturally, it was Zhou Fan. He had arrived a couple seconds prior, but decided to listen to the previous conversation before he did anything.
"God?" The emperor asked with a fearful tone. "You don't seem to fit the descriptions."
The emperor was referring to the time when Zhou Fan told Fui Rong about god. As for why he seemed so sure that Zhou Fan was god, could anyone else appear beside him?
"I come in many shapes and forms. However, I am not here to talk to you about me. Instead, I am here to give you an opportunity. Are you willing to listen?" Zhou Fan asked.
The emperor's eyes discreetly lit up when he heard Zhou Fan's words.
'According to rumor, God has an apostle. could he be making me one?!' He thought.
"Of course sir, what could it be you are proposing me?" The emperor inquired.
"My deal is, submit and prosper, or don't, and continue on with your short life." Zhou Fan answered.
Although it may have sounded rude, Zhou Fan was offering a chance at near eternal life. He could be as rude as he wanted and the emperor would still accept.
"What do you mean by submit and prosper?" The emperor asked. Although he didn't have the courage to decline God's offer, he at least wanted to know what he was getting himself into.
"I will teach you how to cultivate. Cultivation can lead you to a longer life and incredible strength. As for submitting, I simply mean doing what I tell you." Zhou Fan answered.
After hearing his words, the emperor had no idea of declining. Although he didn't know if Zhou Fan was telling the truth, he felt that there was no reason why god would lie to him.
"I agree. What should I call you?" The emperor asked after getting up and kneeling.
"You can call me whatever you feel like calling me, but my name is Zhou Fan." He responded.
"Understood lord Zhou Fan. What can I do for you?"
"First, I want you to take these." Zhou Fan said while holding out his hand. In his palm lay a couple of small formations.
While he was in the mountain range, Zhou Fan had developed a formation that could detect talent. Of course, the formation that he gave the emperor could only tell the basic information. More precisely, it could tell how good their meridians were. Even though he hadn't made a ranking system just yet, he had made the formation give out a number 1 to 100.
Zhou Fan would take the talents of 95 or above and teach them at the school.
As for deeper testing, he would make a more complex formation at the place where he will build the school.
"Take these and spread them around the various empires and kingdoms. You will put a spirit stone on it and the formation will enlarge, then, you will put a person in the middle and start it. That will give a number, and you must bring anyone with a 95 or higher to the imperial capital and arrange safe and comfortable residences for them. There are only 5000, but make sure that anyone can test their talent with them." Zhou Fan explained.
He further explained things to the emperor until he understood what to do. He also told the emperor that he will bring him 100,000 spirit stones. Since each spirit stone could test 1000 people, 100 million could be tested.
After that, Zhou Fan left for the caves and collected the spirit stones like he promised, then filled them up with qi, before delivering them to the emperor.
The first part of the plan was finally done and he could start with the next parts.
Chapter 61: Terraforming - 61
In order to build a school, Zhou Fan needed a plot of land. At first, he had considered using the imperial capital of the mortaniel empire, but decided that he wanted a big area to himself.
Since he didn't have much idea about the world's terrain, besides the brief and undetailed maps in the Lang Yang library, he stopped by the mortaniel empire's library.
As expected, it was huge. Besides the imperial palace, it was probably the biggest building Zhou Fan ever laid eyes upon.
Like the Lang Yang city library, it was a tall, circular tower, only much wider and much taller.
Zhou Fan didn't bother to get a card and simply walked up. Nobody stopped him along the way due to the fact that they couldn't see him. A simple trick he came up with was to manipulate light Qi to make him invisible.
This was the first time he actually used it and it worked as well as he hoped.
Zhou Fan didn't have to ask where the maps and geography books were due to the signs, and it didn't take him long to get to the right floor.
Once he did, he decided to try something. Since Zhou Fan's divine sense allowed him to view every detail of everything within it, wouldn't it be possible to read a book like that?
Along with his incredible mind, Zhou Fan would be able to read a book in an instant without even moving.
With the thought in mind, Zhou Fan released his divine sense. As he broke through, its range increased from a normal sized house to a huge area.
Unexpectedly, it covered the entire library!
As information flooded into Zhou Fan's mind, his brain moved at its maximum speed in order to understand it.
He only retracted his divine sense after a minute had passed. In that time, he not only read every book in the library, but he also understood the entire structure!
With the information he gathered, Zhou Fan was able to pick a perfect place for the school.
Although it was a barren wasteland, Zhou Fan was confident that he would be able to turn it into a paradise.
Zhou Fan quickly moved across multiple empires in a few minutes and reached the outer empires.
The outer empires were essentially their own world. The place where Zhou Fan had stayed was simply the mainland of the world. Only the 10 empires ruled over the area.
However, besides the 10 empires, there were many others. In fact there were thousands.
The strongest empire in the outer empires was actually at the same level as the 10th ranked empire.
However, Zhou Fan's destination wasn't within the outer empires. In order to reach the area Zhou Fan had chosen, he needed to go to the farthest place from human colonization.
A place where only sand existed.
It only took 10 more minutes before Zhou Fan reached the wasteland. As foretold, there was only sand. Even a mile in the sky, nothing else could be seen.
Without looking around too much, Zhou Fan waved his hand as an endless amount of dirt fell onto the desert. He made sure the foundations of the dirt and stone reached deep into the world, where even sand didn't reside. When he was done, 100 square miles were transformed into a plain and some mountains.
However, there was no green. Next Zhou Fan poured water Qi out. He didn't stop until a giant lake and a couple of rivers poured out. At this point, Zhou Fan was starting to feel a crushing sense of superiority.
With his own hands, he was basically creating a new world. The feeling couldn't even be described. He only wished that he had broken into the new realm beforehand, which would have made the terraforming 10 times easier.
Once there was earth and water, Zhou Fan formed clouds and let a rain of life Qi nourish the land. Before long, plants started to grow and grass covered the majority of the land.
However, Zhou Fan realized that he had forgotten to bring any animals with him. Although he was strong, he wasn't even close to creating life.
Therefore, Zhou Fan made a quick trip back to the 10 empires and picked up every wild and microscopic animal he could see.
He collected them in a sphere above his head and suspended them in the air so that there would be no killing.
It didn't take long before he felt that he had enough and went back to the 'wasteland'.
Zhou Fan paused in the air when he thought that. Since it was no longer a wasteland, he needed a name for it.
After hundreds of ideas flew by his head, he still struggled to find a suitable name. He had considered names like Chaos academy, or Chaos university, but none of them sounded right.
After a few minutes, Zhou Fan decided to not name it after anything special. Instead, he would come up with a random name.
After a while, the name 'Huang Long academy' came to him.
SInce he couldn't think of anything else, he went with that.
With that, Zhou Fan made it back to the academy and finished terraforming. All that was left was to actually build the school.
Since he didn't know much about architecture, he decided to compress natural metals like he did with the formation cube, and shape the outside before furnishing the inside.
Since he needed lots of ores, Zhou Fan dove deep into the earth and traveled as deep as he could. Along the way, he collected every bit of metal, iron, diamond, or gold he saw. After 30 minutes, he made it to the core of the earth.
As the entire world believed that the earth was simply a ball of floating dirt, Zhou Fan was surprised to see what appeared to be a mini sun floating in the center.
It was astounding and very hot. Although Zhou Fan was able to resist sweating, any mortal would turn to ash by just being near it.
