Chapter 1593: Climbing the Ladder to Heaven

After creating the Heavenly Palace, Zhang Qian used the origin of the world to evolve a number of Immortal Ponds, and placed them in the lowest level of the heaven. He then directly rewrote the rules of the Zhongda World, and established the iron rule that one could ascend to the Thirty-three Heavens after becoming a Golden Immortal.

As the master of the world, what he says is the rule and what he does is the will of heaven.

The rules for ascension set by the Lord of the Great Thousand Worlds generally stated that one could ascend after becoming an Earthly Immortal. However, the Great World was different. It merged all the worlds in the heavens and myriad worlds, becoming extremely vast, with a foundation countless times deeper than that of the Great Thousand Worlds. Therefore, he raised the requirements, requiring only those who had cultivated to become Golden Immortals to ascend and enter the Thirty-three Heavens.

Looking back to the past, he reincarnated into the Xihuang World with a trace of the Golden Immortal's mind and spirit. With it as his support, he can now set the rule that only Golden Immortals can ascend to the Thirty-three Heavens.

"Is this heavenly palace I created pleasing to your eyes?"

Zhang Qian asked with a smile. Behind him, Li Qingque, Meng Lingsu, Yi Qingxun, Yi Qingyao, Mu Pianxian, Shui Qingsi, Meng Youxian, Zhan Taixuan and the World Tree were smiling and looking at his creation as if it was the creation of the world.

"It seems like there is a lack of a place for water, why not create a fairy lake."

Shui Qingsi said with a smile that as the leader of the mermaid clan, she had to live in a place that travels by water.

Zhang Qian patted his head and said, "I was negligent."

With a stretch of his hand, the origin of the world fell down, and a huge fairy lake appeared on one side of the continuous heavenly palace. That was not all, a series of underwater palaces suddenly emerged from the bottom of the clear fairy lake. Each palace seemed to be cast in blue crystal, and if you didn't look carefully, it would be easy to confuse them with the lake water.

The other girls also began to ask Zhang Qian to do this and that with great interest. To them, all this seemed like an interesting game.

Zhang Qian was in a good mood and met everyone's requests without hesitation, creating the beautiful scenery they wanted one by one. It was the women who were so meticulous. With them watching by the side, the fairy mountain scenery he created was much more exquisite.

Zhang Qian stopped only when everyone was excited. The World Tree suddenly said, "My Kingdom of Death, when are you going to take action?"

Zhang Qian nodded and said, "Now that everything in the heavens has been created, it's time to create the world below. But before that, I have another idea. You guys can come and give me some advice."

Hearing him say this, the girls pricked up their ears.

He took out the sword gourd spirit root from the Dongyuan Sword Gourd without hesitation.

This reborn spiritual root has grown to the same size as the Star Treasure Tree. It has a towering trunk, but its branches are gourd vines!
"I plan to extend a gourd vine from here, all the way down to the ground below the Thirty-three Heavens. This gourd vine is called the Heavenly Ladder, and only cultivators below the Earthly Immortal Realm are allowed to climb it. If you can successfully reach the Thirty-three Heavens, you can directly enter the Immortal Transformation Pond. What do you think?"

However, he remembered the legend of Jianmu and planned to build a Jianmu connecting heaven and earth. He set a rule that this gourd vine that leads directly to heaven is only allowed to be climbed by cultivators below the immortal realm, in order to give hope to those cultivators with poor qualifications but extremely strong will.

Many cultivators are indeed of poor aptitude and their future is already determined. Becoming immortals is just a luxury. However, many of them have such a firm faith in Taoism that it is amazing. It would be a pity if they just exhausted their lifespan and died of old age.

The girls immediately understood Zhang Qian's plan. Yi Qingyao was the most concerned. She clapped her hands and laughed, "In this way, the name of the Heavenly Ladder is indeed worthy of its name. However, climbing from the earth to the thirty-three heavens is such a long distance, I'm afraid no one can do it."

"It doesn't matter. It was originally prepared for those who have poor qualifications but firm heart of Tao. I will add one more rule. Climbing this gourd vine ladder depends mostly on the heart of Tao." As soon as he finished speaking, he threw the sword gourd spiritual root out. Before the spiritual root fell, a huge void island suddenly appeared at the edge of the thirty-three heavens. After the spiritual root fell, it took root directly on it. Zhang Qian mobilized the origin of the world to infuse the sword gourd spiritual root, causing one of the vines to grow and extend rapidly.

With the stimulation of the origin of the world, the vine instantly became thousands of miles long and dropped from the thirty-third heaven. It penetrated the thirty-third heaven and reached a length of billions of miles.

It's not over yet. Finally, the vine fell straight down to the Dongsheng Shenzhou and landed on a fairy mountain about 100,000 feet high. At the moment of falling, the rules attached to the vine by Zhang Qian were fixed, making this fairy mountain a forbidden place for immortals and gods. Only cultivators below the realm of immortals and gods can approach it.

New rules appeared in the world, and all living beings felt it. As if a flash of inspiration came to them, they all understood that there was a ladder to heaven in the Dongsheng Shenzhou.

What Zhang Qian did not expect was that the people most excited about the appearance of this ladder to heaven were not the cultivators, but the largest number of mortals, especially the emperors of countless mortal kingdoms. After learning about the ladder to heaven, they were all excited.

Zhang Qian had no idea that the ladder to heaven he had built would become the fuse for countless mortal kingdoms to conquer, the driving force for countless emperors to launch killings, and would make Dongsheng Shenzhou a place for immortality in the hearts of mortals from all five continents of the world!

After devouring and merging all the worlds in the heavens and myriad realms, the number of mortals in the great world has reached an outrageous level. Generally speaking, there are about one trillion mortal lives in a great world.

The Great Zhongji World has swallowed up more than a thousand Great Thousand Worlds, and the number of Middle Thousand Worlds and Small Thousand Worlds is even more countless. All the mortals in so many worlds are in the Great Zhongji World, and the number is terrifying.

And this is Zhang Qian’s real foundation.

Even with such a huge number, the Zhongji Great World still seems empty, because this world is so vast.

After finishing the ladder to heaven, Zhang Qian began to create the remaining thirty-two layers of heaven. In each layer of heaven, he created huge void islands and countless palaces. These heavens will be the places where the strong people above the Golden Immortals live and practice in the future. He was not careless at all.

Especially the Immortal Transformation Ponds, which he built with great fanfare. He has not yet opened the rules for ascension. Once opened, these Immortal Transformation Ponds will surely be extremely busy.

Moreover, the powerful Daluo Jinxian, Taiyi Jinxian and other powerful beings from the merged worlds are still on the earth. When Zhang Qian activates the rules of ascension, they will all enter the Thirty-three Heavens Realm, and only their sects will remain on the five continents.

With enough world origin to use, it is extremely simple to transform the thirty-three layers of heaven. Zhang Qian also indulged in an addiction to creation. The feeling of being able to evolve whatever he wants directly with the world origin is intoxicating, and the feeling of creating all things and spirits is indeed addictive.

After the transformation of the thirty-three layers of heaven was completed, his sights were set on the depths of the earth. The vast world in the middle was still lacking a place for reincarnation and an exit from the underworld.

The kingdom of death transformed by the world tree is the foundation for him to create reincarnation.

That place will also be ruled by the World Tree, and she will be in charge of reincarnation.

Zhang Qian had already considered the future positions of the women. The World Tree is in charge of reincarnation, Shui Qingsi is in charge of the four seas, Li Qingque is in charge of the female fairies in heaven, Meng Lingsu is in charge of thunder tribulations, Yi Qingxun and Yi Qingyao are in charge of the ascension of all spirits, Mu Pianpian is in charge of the sun and the moon, Meng Youxian is in charge of all worlds, and Zhan Taixuan is in charge of all stars. None of them was left out.
