Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 64

After Jian Yi and Jian Wushuang left, Wang Wei and the people in the Dao Opening Sect boated the Void Boat and returned to their own domain.

The journey back took longer as Wang Wei asked Great Elder Wang Fu to drive slowly instead of using the teleportation formation. Wang Wei spent all of his years inside of the sect without knowing what the outside world looks like.

And when he returns, he will immediately start cultivating and won’t have much time to leisurely sway about. And Heaven knows how many years it will take before he has a chance to go out again.

It was not just Wang Wei who felt the same way. Both Li Jun and Yan Liling and their newfound subordinate were enjoying the voyage back home.

The Void Boat entered invisible mode while the entire group were observing all the places that they passed by.

They watched the daily life of mortals and how it differs from cultivators. Mortals in this world should have abundant food due the high amount of spiritual qi in the environment. Yet, it is not the case.

Most mortals barely have enough food to eat. One reason is due to the fact that they do not know how to properly cultivate the land. This knowledge is secretly in the hands of the nobility. However, even the so-called mortal nobility’s way of cultivating the land is quite primitive.

Another reason for the struggles of mortals is the fact they are extremely exploited by the kingdom they live in. In this world, there are two types of kingdoms or constitutional monarchy.

The ones headed by mortals and the ones headed by cultivators like the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty. In a cultivating monarchy, the lives of the people are actually quite good as their rulers need the people’s livelihood and happiness to increase the Dynasty’s luck. As such, the ruling dynasties will ensure that its citizens are safe and have enough food, clothing, and some wealth.

However, when it comes to mortal dynasties, ordinary people are usually extremely exploited. The kings of these dynasties only drained the resources of the land that they occupied. As for the people, well in the eyes of the nobility, they are just a bunch of "untouchables" and there are always countless more of them if one dies.

Wang Wei shook his head when he saw all of this. True Monarch Yan Chen saw this and wanted to know what the young master was thinking, so he asked. "Young master, why did you shake your head?"

Wang Wei was a little surprised by the sudden question, then he answered. "I’m just thinking about how wasteful us cultivators are and how backward our civilization is."

"Oh," responded True Monarch Yan Chen with a little intrigue. "What do you mean, young master?". In fact, he was not the only one interested in this topic. Most of the people in the Void Boat wanted to hear what he had to say, and so they began to listen.

As such, Wang Wei begins to explain his views.

"In my opinion, the most important thing to us cultivators is in fact population. Although 99% of mortals do not have what cultivators called a "Leakless Body" that allowed them to absorb spirit qi and transform it into blood qi and step into the Body Refining Realm, the truth of the matter is that the majority of cultivators still came from ordinary people."

"Without a large population of mortals or ordinary people to choose from, the number of cultivators would exponentially decrease, thus also decreasing the overall strength of the entire Myriad Emperor World."

The people contemplated Wang Wei’s words and realized that he was right. Although only 1% of mortals have the talent to cultivate, with a population surpassing trillions, the number of cultivators is indeed quite large.

"Big brother Wang Wei, what you said is indeed logical," said Li Jun, "But, what does that have to do with us being wasteful?"

This is the question that most people wanted to know. As such, Wang Wei continued to explain.

"Look at the many fertile lands down there. Many of them are sitting there and left uncultivated. As for those who are used, the efficiency is terribly low. With abundant spiritual qi in the air, as long as the conditions are met, every mortal farmer can have more than one yield per season, thus increasing the amount of food that they have to eat and survive."
