Martial Arts: I Have a Wilderness World

Chapter 657: Chapter 335: Establishing the Channel Rules

Luo Dingran quickly arrived before Cheng Zongyang. He bowed respectfully and said, "Master, what are your orders?"

Cheng Zongyang looked at Luo Dingran, his expression grave. "There’s a passage in the Realm of Ten Thousand Races that connects to a Secret Realm in the Cultivation Immortality Realm. I need to control this passage, which means I have to swap out some of our territory—an area of 15,000 kilometers. First, tell me about our current situation."

Luo Dingran was rather shocked. ’There’s actually a passage connecting to the Cultivation Immortality Realm!’

He mulled it over for a moment, then said, "Master, our territory is relatively stable right now. The exploration teams are also systematically advancing, establishing teleportation outposts. We’ve currently reached the 7,000-kilometer mark."

"If you’re making the swap, it won’t affect our current operations. But in the future, will their people meet or interact with ours?"

He wasn’t the least bit worried that the people from the Five Great Immortal Sects could pose any threat to the Realm of Ten Thousand Races or to them, the Soul Slaves. He was perfectly clear on one thing: Cheng Zongyang was the Controller of the Realm of Ten Thousand Races.

Cheng Zongyang nodded slightly, understanding Luo Dingran’s concern. He thought for a moment before replying, "Don’t worry. I’ll start establishing rules for the passage. I’ll also restrict their movement; this 15,000-kilometer zone is the only area they can access for now. I’ll gradually open up more later on. Also, establishing rules requires a significant amount of Points, so you need to step up our earnings."

Luo Dingran nodded. "We’ve already commissioned a special fishing boat and are preparing to start catching fish. Selling the meat should increase the rate we acquire Points. We must make use of the ocean’s resources."

Cheng Zongyang nodded. "I’ll leave it to you."

"Yes, Sir!" Luo Dingran replied with a clasped-fist salute before promptly departing.

Cheng Zongyang then grabbed a pen and paper and headed to the Realm of Dominator on the eighth floor to begin drafting the rules for the passage.

But before doing so, he said to the Ring Spirit, "Ring Spirit, begin the swap!"

[Okay.]

The moment the Ring Spirit’s voice faded, Cheng Zongyang, standing on the eighth floor, watched as the general map of the Wilderness World began to slowly transform. The brightly lit territory he controlled started to shrink like a brilliant, fading star. At the same time, the map’s scale contracted, zooming out to display a much larger total area.

Soon, in a location far to the north, a region that had always been black began to light up, like a lantern ignited in the dark.

The shrinking and expanding happened in tandem.

Cheng Zongyang stared intently at the map, secretly astounded by the distance separating the two locations.

If his original territory was like a country on a map, the new view was a vast world map. The distance between the two points seemed as great as that between Antarctica and the North Pole.

Even with a 30,000-kilometer view, the two points were still so far apart, which showed just how vast the Wilderness World was. In fact, this new territory might not even be the northernmost point; the black, uncharted regions were still enormous!

Once the 15,000-kilometer territory swap was complete, his original territory had shrunk by half, but the new one was now displayed. At this point, the map automatically labeled the new area: "Area 2."

Cheng Zongyang saw this and understood it was for differentiation. Taking a deep breath, he pulled "Area 2" closer on the map and zoomed in.

He couldn’t teleport there directly, but he could observe the region from his perspective as the Dominator. Of course, he couldn’t directly manipulate anything either; he could only enact change by establishing rules.

As the map zoomed in, centering on the passage, the details of the region were quickly laid out before him.

He could see the movements and destinations of everyone, everything within the forests, and even the conditions underground.

He could even see his own physical body, still in the inn. This feeling of watching himself was quite peculiar.

He watched the people scattered everywhere, coming and going. Some were fighting and killing each other, some were battling Exotic Beasts, some were exploring dangerous terrain, and there were even those operating in the coastal area to the east.

However, he had to observe carefully just to see where people were.

This gave him an idea for his first rule—one for his own benefit. He immediately picked up his pen and paper and wrote it down.

—Mark all personnel. Ordinary people: white. Martial Artists: off-white, gray, black. Cultivators: pale pink, pink, rose, light red, deep red, crimson, black-red, etc.

This was for his eyes only, a way to differentiate them based on their Cultivation. The higher the Cultivation, the darker the color.

After that, he began to draft the other rules for the passage.

First were the rules for teleportation.

When the passage first manifested, Cheng Zongyang had already envisioned various directions he could take with its rules.

However, circumstances had changed. Now he needed the bodies of Cultivators, so they had to be allowed to enter the passage.

After much consideration, he decided to first limit entry to those in the Qi Refinement Stage. Establishing a single rule cost 10,000 Points, and once set, a rule couldn’t be modified, only nullified. Therefore, he had to write the rules on paper first and deliberate carefully before finalizing them.

As Cheng Zongyang wrote down the second rule, he was suddenly overcome with the peculiar delusion that he was some kind of behind-the-scenes creator.

At the same time, he paused his rule-making, because he had suddenly thought of Jade Peak Immortal City.

He had been dedicated to exploring and developing the Wilderness World while simultaneously building up Jade Peak Immortal City.

His original plan was for the two to complement one another, fueling the rise of Jade Peak Immortal City and creating a virtuous cycle. However, when it came to this cycle, an intractable problem had arisen.
