The Field of Faith

Chapter 84

The **Living Flesh Technique** could maintain the vitality of flesh and blood. Even if a part of the body was severed, as long as the technique was continuously applied, it could continue to grow normally. 

The **Division Technique** was inspired by the fertility blessings in the "Obedience Blessing Technique." It made the recipient's body more prone to conception and significantly increased the number of offspring. 

The **Growth Technique** could stimulate the growth of living beings. 

With the techniques complete, Li Changmeng stepped out of his cave for the second time. 

In the underground cavern, where the sun and moon were invisible, time had lost its meaning. The constant glow of the moss had disrupted the natural rhythms of the Ancient Immortal Sect's followers, who no longer had a regular schedule. 

"Greetings, Saintess." 

As Li Changmeng approached a believer who was planting moss, the believer bowed in reverence. 

"Let me try." 

"Saintess, such tasks are beneath you. Please focus on cultivating the techniques bestowed by the Dao Lord and lead us back to the surface. We, the ordinary believers, can handle planting the moss." 

Li Changmeng simply raised his hand and formed a seal, activating the technique: **Growth Technique.** 

A soft red glow spread out, covering an area of several meters. Within this glow, the moss began to grow rapidly, even spreading to the surrounding areas. 

"Saintess, this... is this the power of the Dao Lord's blessings?" 

The believer stared in disbelief at the moss, which had grown wildly in such a short time, covering the ground and emitting a brighter light than before. 

"The Dao Lord's blessings have granted us, His believers, the power to protect ourselves. Rest assured, I will lead everyone out of here." 

Li Changmeng spoke calmly. The moss was just the first step. What he truly intended was to stimulate the believers themselves. 

The moss he had accelerated was imbued with the Dao of Flesh and Blood, giving it the ability to stir desires and promote reproduction. 

After consuming this moss, the believers would soon find themselves more inclined to reproduce and conceive. 

The news that the Saintess had gained power from the Dao Lord's blessings and was providing food for the believers quickly spread throughout the underground community. 

For those living in the dark depths, this was a monumental event, offering a glimmer of hope for escape. 

Even the moss cultivated by the Saintess was seen as imbued with the Dao Lord's power, and every believer received a share. 

Li Changmeng spent a portion of each day accelerating the growth of the moss or walking among the believers, applying the **Division Technique.** 

The spiritual energy used to accelerate the moss's growth was roughly balanced by the daily production of the power of faith from the believers. As a result, Li Changmeng's cultivation level did not increase during this period. 

Under the influence of the enhanced moss, the effects soon became apparent. In the cavern, where day and night were indistinguishable, reproduction became a primary activity. 

Li Changmeng periodically selected pregnant believers and brought them into his chamber, extracting the embryos under the guise of blessings. 

He used his spiritual energy to create a large pool, filling it with water drawn from the marsh outside. 

The pool was soon filled with密密麻麻, frog-egg-like objects. 

These were the embryos taken from the believers. Li Changmeng regularly applied the **Living Flesh Technique** to maintain their vitality. 

"Accelerating the growth of these embryos isn't difficult, but sustaining them is another matter. If I only..." 

Looking at the pool filled with embryos, Li Changmeng realized that the underground cavern could not support their growth. 

However, he thought of another method. 

This idea was inspired by a concept he had vaguely encountered in his previous life: if he only needed the power of faith, he didn't necessarily need living, breathing believers. 

This had already been demonstrated—after believers died, as long as their souls were accepted, they could continue to generate the power of faith. 

Therefore, he only needed to cultivate the consciousness of these embryos. 

And consciousness originated in the Muddy Pellet Palace, located within the brain. 

"Whether this is feasible or not, I'll test it first." 

Li Changmeng began to cast techniques, starting by deepening and expanding the pool. 

The embryos were only the size of a thumb, but as they grew, they would require more space. 

After the expansion, the pool's capacity increased severalfold. 

Next, Li Changmeng applied the **Growth Technique** to the embryos. 

Under the technique's influence, the embryos began to swell visibly. 

The energy required for their growth was entirely provided by the **Growth Technique,** causing Li Changmeng's spiritual energy to deplete rapidly. 

"This won't work. I can only focus on a portion at a time. My cultivation level is too low to sustain such consumption." 

Li Changmeng stopped. The pool contained over fifty to sixty thousand embryos. Accelerating all of them at once would drain his spiritual energy instantly. 

After resting and converting the power of faith into spiritual energy, Li Changmeng selected several dozen embryos. 

He applied the **Growth Technique** to these embryos, this time at a much slower rate of energy consumption. 

Moreover, Li Changmeng focused on growing only the brains of the embryos. 

Soon, dozens of fresh brains floated on the surface of the pool. 

"Dead brains..." 

The brains were fresh and vibrant, but their consciousness was extremely faint, like that of someone in a deep sleep. 

Such brains could not provide the power of faith. 

"They grew under the influence of the technique, like plants. Perhaps I need to provide additional stimulation." 

After some thought, Li Changmeng identified the issue and quickly found a solution. 

He selected another batch of embryos and applied the **Growth Technique.** 

This time, he grew not only the brains but also the nervous systems. 

Using the Dao of Flesh and Blood, he stimulated the nerves, allowing the brains to receive false information. 

He created a beautiful world for these brains, where they were pioneers tasked with spreading the holy name of the Dao Lord of Dreammist Marsh. 

These dozens of consciousnesses existed in the same world and could interact with each other. 

This time, faint strands of the power of faith began to rise from the pool. 

Success! 

In the pool, the brains, along with their attached nervous systems, floated like jellyfish, swaying gently. 

Their nerves intertwined, allowing them to communicate with one another. 

The world had been created. Although only a few dozen consciousnesses inhabited it, Li Changmeng would soon accelerate the growth of more to join them. 

The amount of the power of faith generated would also increase. 

The only drawback was the need to regularly monitor this world of consciousness. If any issues arose, they would need to be corrected promptly to prevent collapse. 

"So, this pool can be called the **Field of Faith**? Planting believers and harvesting the power of faith... not bad. 

Next, I'll expand the scale, cultivate, create clones, and return to the Core Formation stage as soon as possible."
