Nearly ten years have passed in the blink of an eye since Ye Zan's trip to the wilderness, and the transformation of the war fortress has finally reached the final stage.
The days of renovating the war fortress should be considered peaceful and busy. Everything was going on step by step, and no thrilling accidents happened. Except for occasionally attending some gatherings that he couldn't refuse, such as discussing ideas and relationships with his allies, Ye Zan spent most of his time in his small world.
While the war fortress is changing little by little, the secular world of the small world can also be described as "changing with each passing day." Under Ye Zan's plan and the strong promotion of the Supreme Council, the small world almost ran or even jumped into the steam industry era. Moreover, due to Ye Zan's guidance, the creatures in the small world naturally avoided those detours in development.
You know, in the technological world of Earth, when humans first entered the industrial age, they made a lot of "mistakes" that were unavoidable. The reason why the word "mistake" is in quotation marks is that only later, when technology became more advanced, did people consider those mistakes to be mistakes. At the time, people probably took them for granted and thought they were inevitable.
For example, the unemployment of workers, the pollution of air, soil, and water sources, the changes in social structure and morality, etc. In fact, as a latecomer, I have no position to criticize these issues. After all, with the technological level of that era, if you wanted to develop, you could only do that. Just talking about the use of coal, were there any clean fuels that could replace coal in that era? Since there is no such thing, how can people continue to develop industrially without using coal
And those who yearn for the past, the primitive and backward pastoral life, are actually just full. Because they now have enough to eat, they have the energy to pursue other "good things", such as clear starry sky, fresh air, sweet spring water, etc. However, if they were allowed to go back to the past, they would probably have to worry about food and clothing again.
Of course, in this small world, with the guidance of a master like Ye Zan, there is no need to follow the path of "development first, governance later". Although, in order to avoid distortion and faults in the development of world civilization, Ye Zan will not forcefully use too advanced technology. However, deriving solutions to some problems from the back is like using high school knowledge to solve junior high school problems. It is not difficult to find a suitable method.
It can be said that in terms of the advanced level of secular productivity, the small world owned by Ye Zan has surpassed the world of cultivation and the small world of the Immortal Palace. After all, this small world truly belongs to him, he is the absolute master of this world, and he does not need to have any scruples.
For Ye Zan, promoting the development of the small world is like playing a business simulation game. In the world of monasticism and the small world of Immortal Palace, he was like playing someone else's game save on someone else's computer. And in this small world, he didn't even have to worry about crashing the save file, he just didn't do that.
The benefit brought to Ye Zan by the development of the small world is that the essence of mental power has been restored faster. Although, due to the technological development of the small world, the average life expectancy has been improved. But it's not just the death of many people and the continuous reincarnation of the dead souls that will allow Ye Zan to obtain the essence of spiritual power. In fact, as long as there are "intelligent" activities of living beings, the essence of spiritual power will be produced.
This essence of spiritual power is actually the kind of spiritual power generated by "players" that Ye Zan had obtained in the Virtual God Realm. Compared with the Virtual God Realm, Ye Zan is the master of the small world, and the small world has such a large population, so the essence of spiritual power obtained is naturally far better than that of the Virtual God Realm.
However, with Ye Zan's current state, he has not yet found a good method or means to use the essence of this spiritual power. After all, in the world of monasticism, he is still just a monastic in the Yuanshen realm, and has not yet reached the level of using this kind of power.
That's right, nearly ten years have passed, and Ye Zan's realm is still the Yuanshen realm, at most it can be regarded as the peak of the Yuanshen realm. Even though he had many means, had so many opportunities before, and even obtained a fake Dharma form, he still did not find an opportunity to truly advance to the Dharma form state.
Fortunately, Ye Zan is not in a hurry. In more than ten years, from being a soul to being a Dharma, it is something that even those evil geniuses dare not think about. What's more, he is not a genius, he is just a pseudo-genius who copied the flawless Taoist gene from Qi Qianjun. Besides, he also has a fake Dharma image in his hand. Some things that require the Dharma image realm can also be accomplished through the fake Dharma image, so why push himself so hard.
Besides, the war fortress, after nearly ten years of renovation, is already close to completion. Although, in the transformation of the war fortress, Ye Zan used a large number of corpses of demons from outside the world. However, he did not transform the war fortress into a demonic city full of rugged bones and evil spirits, even if the bones were the bones of evil spirits from outside the world.
First of all, the materials of those corpses of demons from outside the world have essentially broken away from the level of ordinary creatures. Their skin, flesh, muscles, and bones are not what people generally recognize. Secondly, Ye Zan conducted in-depth processing and refining of those materials, further making those materials lose their appearance.
For example, after removing impurities and cutting and polishing the bones of the demon outside that day, they actually looked more like thin sheets of jade. As for the skin of the demon outside that day, it is also different from the various skins commonly known. After a series of processing and refining, it still exudes a somewhat sacred light.
Therefore, Ye Zan used these materials on the war fortress. Although the entire war fortress has indeed changed greatly in appearance, it has become stronger and more sacred than before. The word "holy" is not a compliment to the evil spirits outside the world, but a characteristic of existence at that level. That is the natural feeling for low-level creatures like Ye Zan and others when facing high-level creatures.
Speaking of the war fortress, it now looks as if it was carved out of white jade. Hanging in the sky, people can't help but think of the "White Jade Capital in the Sky".
However, once you actually step onto the ground of the fortress, the entire fortress does not feel like a vast expanse of white. Ye Zan didn't intend to play tricks. The main purpose of the war fortress was to live in it for himself. Naturally, the basic standard was to live comfortably. After all, if all the buildings looked like they were carved from white jade, this place would really be uninhabitable.
The overall shape of the war fortress has not changed much, it still looks like an inverted pyramid. On the "base" of the inverted pyramid is a semi-encircled city, with walls sloping toward the center at the same angle. Only when necessary, the city wall will be unfolded to completely surround the city above, turning the fortress into a rhombus composed of two pyramids base to base.
The internal division of the war fortress basically remains the same. The industrial area is still the same factory, and the residential area is still the same manor. However, the materials of those buildings, whether factories or manors, have been replaced with bone fragments of evil spirits from outside the world. Those bone fragment houses were not built by using bone fragments as bricks, but by cutting the bone fragments into specific shapes and putting them together like building blocks.
After being processed and refined, the bone fragments of the demon outside that day have stronger defense capabilities against physical attacks and energy attacks. It can be said that even if an enemy comes to the war fortress now, as long as they are not as powerful as Tongtian Supreme, they may not be able to destroy even a house. Even if Tongtian Supreme wanted to destroy those buildings, he would have to use all his strength to achieve some results.
Of course, even if the houses in the fortress were so strong, Ye Zan could not let the enemy bombard the fortress indiscriminately. After he obtained the corpses of the dragons before, he used dragon bones and other materials to arrange some defensive formations on the fortress. After acquiring the corpse of the Demon from Beyond, he did not replace all the original magic circles. Instead, he used the materials from the corpse of the Demon from Beyond to enhance those magic circles.
In addition, in Ye Zan's design plan, the small world will also be a defense method for the war fortress. He plans to combine the small world with the magic circle, or connect the small world with the magic circle, so that the enemy can be directly introduced into the small world. After all, he is the master of the small world and will have absolute authority in the small world. It will not be difficult to deal with the Tongtian Supreme.
However, combining the small world with the magic circle cannot be done in the small world. It has to be completed after leaving. Anyway, for Ye Zan, who is the master of the small world, as long as he makes the preparations that need to be done in the early stage, the rest of the things will not consume much time.
Now, the transformation of the war fortress has been basically completed, which means that it is time to open the fortress out of the small world.
On the ground, both the remaining materials and the base for processing materials have been packed away by Ye Zan. And Ye Ping'an and the indigenous heroes of the small world also left the small world first and appeared at the base where the fortress was originally parked on Tongtian Peak.
After ten years, the Sun King and others have of course learned to fly and no longer need to rely on Ye Zan to provide flying skateboards. However, their method of flying in the air still relies on their own strength to develop. Therefore, when they go to the outside world of monasticism and use the method of flying in the air, they will consume their own power that is difficult to replenish every moment.
Of course, ascetics also consume their own mana when flying in the air. However, after a cultivator consumes his own mana, he can recover at any time with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The Sun King and others are not from the world of cultivation. After their own power is consumed, they can only return to Ye Zan's small world to recharge.
In addition, in addition to the Sun King and other eight people who were the first to step out of the small world, Ye Zan also successively released several other Dharma-level heroes in the past ten years. However, unlike Sun King and others, those released behind Ye Zan are not completely unconditional. Ye Zan did not completely liberate the true spirits of those people, but made them make an oath with their true spirits. After all, there are limits to being a good person.
As for the names of these heroes in the small world, of course, with the help of Ye Ping An, they all took Taoist titles and names that fit the customs of this monastic world. However, with so many people, I won’t introduce them one by one. Anyway, they usually act in groups and will not really go to discuss Taoism with other monks.
After making all preparations, Ye Zan left the small world first and sacrificed his pseudo-dharma form again above the ground base of the war fortress in Tongtian Peak. So, as a black vortex appeared in the sky, a huge, brand-new war fortress descended from the black vortex to the world of monasticism again.
Regarding the completion of the transformation of the war fortress, Mo Rushi and others had already been notified. In order to satisfy their curiosity as soon as possible, they also gathered around the ground base at this time. They watched Ye Zan open the passage and watched the fortress that looked like the "White Jade Capital in the Sky" fly out of the passage. Even though they were familiar with the war fortress before, everyone was still shocked once again when they saw this fortress with a more "fairy spirit".
"This... this can be called a small fairy court!" Wu Changsheng couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the jade-like fortress and felt the aura exuding from the fortress that seemed to dominate all living beings.
"Headmaster, be careful what you say!" Jin Dasheng and others next to him heard Wu Changsheng's sigh. Although they agreed with it in their hearts, they still hurriedly stopped him.
After all, it has now been confirmed that the Immortal Court and the Immortals still exist, so the Immortal Court is still a taboo that cannot be overstepped. Especially, for the "lower realm", the Immortal Court has always played the role of ruler, just like the secular imperial court.
"Ahem!" Wu Changsheng came back to his senses, coughed twice quickly, and said with a bit of fear: "I was so excited that my words were indeed inappropriate. It is really a sin, a sin! However, your Majesty's This... fortress may indeed be called a fairy mansion.”
Speaking of which, Wu Changsheng didn't have enough knowledge. If he had followed Mo Rushi and Ye Zan to see the opening of the Arctic Fairy Palace, I'm afraid he wouldn't have said what he said now. After Ye Zan obtained the Arctic Immortal Palace, although he opened the passages many times in the Yuqing Sect, he did not truly reveal the Immortal Palace as it did when the Immortal Palace was opened.
When it comes to the atmosphere of the Immortal Family, Ye Zan's war fortress is still much worse than the Arctic Immortal Palace, even if it uses the corpses of evil spirits from outside the world as materials. You know, the materials used in the North Pole Immortal Palace of Xuanqing Daozu came from the North Sea Dragon Palace. The original owner of Beihai Dragon Palace was one of the few sea dragon kings in the dragon clan before the world collapsed.
In terms of use, no matter how much the war fortress is transformed, it is impossible to put aside the word "war" and it is not a truly pure cave residence. The North Pole Immortal Palace is different. It is a cave that can be used to establish a sect. Its functions are mainly focused on residence, cultivation, concealment, defense, etc.
