The early spring in the imperial court still carries a bit of chill, but the fairy trees on the roadside have already put on their tender green makeup. Although the matter of the fairies descending to the mortal world has long been a hot topic, the people living in the Seventh Fairyland are still thriving like weeds covered in ice and snow.
Zuo Songyan led Yuan Shuo's spiritualists and immortals to open up the western border of the imperial court, break through the imperial court's blockades along the way, and leave two troop transportation channels.
As soon as the road was opened, one could see a number of Zhulong chariots coming, and above the Zhulong chariots was a celestial ship. From the ships and the Zhulong chariots came down numerous spiritual masters of various sects, who had chosen the blessed land of immortal mountains. Most of them were spiritual masters who practiced the art of architecture and civil engineering.
Zuo Songyan and the immortal spiritualists under his command stood aside, and saw these newly arrived Yuan Shuo spiritualists coming to the old god Cangwu and building a city based on the immortal mountain and blessed land.
The old god Cangwu Saint King was ordered by Su Yun to guard this place. There was a precious Wutong tree on his head and a phoenix was flying on the branches.
Cangwu looked down and saw many spiritual masters who practiced the art of casting raising large immortal furnaces filled with ashes.
A phoenix flew over, injected fire into the immortal furnace, and ignited the ashes.
As long as the calamity ashes are not ignited by the calamity fire, they will not produce calamity fire. This wonderful fuel can be used to refine immortal weapons.
Flames suddenly shot up into the sky, and these spiritualists began to smelt ore and refine building parts.
The art of architecture was carried forward and promoted to a whole new level by Lou Ban, the previous master of Tongtian Pavilion. However, Yuan Shuo's attainments in architecture have already surpassed Lou Ban, and many new immortals have been born.
This time, the city built by Yuan Shuo was built according to the specifications of immortal weapons. Every building, pavilion, street, river, bridge, city wall, and even every brick and tile, bracket and beam in the city were all immortal magic weapons!
They want to build a city on the western border to resist foreign enemies!
This is the first city. The minerals are mined from the Imperial Court, Zhongshan, the Imperial Throne and other places. Some are only roughly refined before being sent here.
Some Yuanshuo scholars mined and smelted minerals on site, while others imprinted immortal runes on the refined city components. The division of labor was quite detailed.
Yuan Shuo's new school of thought has been developing for so many years and has already formed a complete system. Especially after the opening of the rear court, Yuan Shuo's Taoist magic power has improved almost explosively!
In addition, the return of the saints led by Emperor Xuanyuan pushed Yuan Shuo's knowledge to a new height!
In recent years, Yuan Shuo's knowledge in various fields has improved rapidly, new theories and techniques have emerged one after another, and there are more and more masters in Tongtian Pavilion.
In Yuanshuo, there was even a group of spiritualists who specialized in studying the Old God Runes and created the Old God Runes school, preparing to integrate this knowledge with the immortal way and create a new method.
"This is the first city in the western border of the imperial court. We cannot allow any mistakes to occur."
Zuo Songyan exhaled a breath of foul air, blew on his rough hands, covered his face to keep warm, and said to the people around him: "This will be the first stop to resist the enemies coming from the west!"
"Puye, can we win?" A young scholar looked down at Zuo Songyan. Zuo Songyan was too short.
“We must win.”
Zuo Songyan did not say that he could win, and said with a smile: "If we can't win, then we will lose even the right to survive. Now we have this sword formation to protect the imperial court, so we have to hurry! This is only the first city, we still have the second city and the third city!"
He waved his arm and shouted, "Follow me!"
Everyone followed him, struggling to get through the imperial court's ban, breaking the ban and opening another road. This road would be the road connecting the two cities.
On the way, they met another group of spiritualists, who were led by Qiu Shuijing and were strengthening the power of the imperial court's ban.
Qiu Shuijing raised the Chaos Jade, scanned the bans, and then used the Chaos Jade to deduce and make the bans more perfect.
The ban of the Imperial Court was left by the Immortal Court to seal this precious land and bury that unknown history.
If the army of the Immortal Court were to break the first sword formation, they could bypass the immortal cities, march straight in, and destroy the Emperor's power altogether!
What Qiu Shuijing did was to change the structure of the seal based on the original seal, increase its power, and make it impossible for them to bypass it. If they force their way in, there will only be heavy casualties!
They had a clear division of labor with Zuo Songyan and others. Qiu Shuijing modified the banned areas, just bypassing the road opened by Zuo Songyan.
The two looked at each other from a distance, waved, and then went back to work.
Zuo Songyan and others opened a path and headed towards another old god, the Holy King of Dongting.
He met Song Ming, who was also opening up a road and leading a group of immortals and spiritualists to open up a road from Dongting to Cangwu. The two met and then separated.
Zuo Songyan led his companions to the vicinity of Dongting Holy King, where they saw the Candle Dragon Chariot coming and going, extremely busy.
The head of the Holy King of Dongting is sunken, and on top of his head is a Dongting Lake, which is eight hundred miles in radius and full of dancing fish and dragons.
Sang Tianjun was collecting water from Dongting Lake above his head to irrigate his half-dead mulberry tree, and then transformed into a fat white silkworm, gnawing on mulberry leaves and spinning silk.
Zuo Songyan looked up at Sang Tianjun on the mulberry tree. When this Tianjun returned to the imperial court, his body fell into metamorphosis and could not transform normally. Su Yun invited the human demon Penghao to resolve his inner demons and restore him to normal.
Several fairies nearby were watching Lord Sang eating mulberry leaves. As soon as he spit out the silk, they would immediately collect it and prepare for sacrifice. No one knew what kind of immortal weapon he was going to refine.
Zuo Songyan led his people from Dongting Lake to Pengli. After opening up half of the road, they met Han Jun who was also opening up a road.
The two sides met and then separated.
When Zuo Songyan arrived in Pengli, he saw that the foundation of Pengli City had already been laid. The city here was built earlier and at a faster speed.
In Pengli City, Yinglong, Bai Ze and other gods and demons manipulated their magic power to build a fairy city.
"Xiangliu, you're being lazy again!"
"I didn't do it, don't accuse me for no reason!"
There was a commotion in the city. When Zuo Songyan passed by, he saw Xiangliu's nine heads with their mouths wide open. Some spiritualists were extracting venom from the demon's mouth to poison their weapons.
Not far away, there were two demon gods, Taotie and Qiongqi, squatting there with their mouths wide open. There was a hanging ladder on their mouths. Mine carts were being delivered and the ore in the carts was dumped into the mouths of the two demon gods.
The two demon gods had huge bodies and amazing stomachs. They could refine everything except immortal gold. Therefore, Bai Ze came up with this idea to throw the mined treasure ore directly into the stomachs of the two demon gods and let them digest it.
Whatever they cannot digest, they spit out as extremely pure immortal gold, which does not need to be purified and can be used directly to refine treasures.
Zuo Songyan shook his head and whispered, "These gods and demons are so clever and have so many bad ideas."
After a rest, he led the people to continue opening up the road from Pengli to Hongze.
On the way, he met the pioneering troops led by Danqing. When he arrived at Hongze City, he saw that this fairy city had been nearly half built. Yuanshuo and Dizuo Dongtian had gathered skilled craftsmen to build more than a dozen large-scale factories here, smelting and casting day and night!
Zuo Songyan crossed Hongze and headed for Zhenze, where he met Lang Yun on the way. Lang Yun was also leading a group of people to clear the way.
When they arrived at Zhenze City, the city had already been built for more than half. Zuo Songyan kept moving forward. In more than two years, they opened up many roads and connected the place where the fairy city was to be built in the future imperial court.
When they arrived at the center of the imperial court, near Ganquan Garden, even though he was a Golden Immortal, he was exhausted. The other immortals and spiritualists were even more exhausted, and they wanted to lie down and rest immediately.
There is also a city outside Ganquan Garden. This fairy city has been built, and Ganquan Garden has been incorporated into the city. There are more than 30 supervision factories outside the city. Above the central supervision factory, a giant bell slowly rotates.
Many skilled craftsmen of Tsutenkaku stood on the cliff of Hongzhong, carefully pasting the rough copper rolled into copper foil on the sunken brand.
Behind them were some scholars who were holding the Chaos Fire with extreme caution and burning the marks.
The body of this huge bell is mostly made of Jiejin Black Iron and Yujin. Ou Yewu, the elder of Tongtian Pavilion, also used Chaos Gold Essence to make gears to construct the interior of the huge bell.
At the nose of the bell, several immortals from Tongtian Pavilion were carefully inlaying the Taichu Gem, the brightest gem from the Chaos Sea, on the huge bell.
Zuo Songyan stopped and looked around, exclaiming in his heart: "Master Su's bell is becoming more and more majestic. It's a pity that it is not the yellow bell anymore."
The main body of this Time Sound Bell is made of Jiejin Black Iron, which gives people a feeling of a mixture of bright white and black. From a distance, it looks like it is made of fine iron, but when you look closely, it feels a bit gray and cold.
Even if the rune mark is drawn with rough copper, it is difficult to make the bell body appear in a brass tone.
Su Yun's Huangzhong magical power has always been a large yellow bell. This time, because there is not enough wild copper, he has to use Jiejin Xuantie as the main body.
However, the Time Sound Bell turned gray and cold, looking extremely solemn and shocking.
"Prince Yu is here!" someone suddenly shouted.
Zuo Songyan looked up and saw Prince Jade flapping his wings and flying towards him, landing on the huge bell. His body had basically returned to human form, and he had transformed from an extremely ugly gray monster into an honest and mature young man who looked to be about 30 or 40 years old.
However, behind him, the flesh wings of the robbery gray monster were still there and had not completely disappeared.
Prince Yu had made great contributions many times, and after Su Yun returned, he devoted himself to treating his disease.
It was also because of Su Yun's great improvement in cultivation that Prince Yu recovered very quickly, and his situation was inspiring. Prince Yu should have died and turned into a calamity ash immortal long ago, and even his soul no longer existed, but Su Yun brought him back to life, and the Great Dao was reborn, which was really inspiring!
Especially the immortals in the Immortal Court who had surrendered to Su Yun, they were also worried that their Taoism would continue to turn into ashes and that they would become ash monsters.
Prince Yu transformed from a calamity monster into a human, which inspired them.
This time, Ou Yewu invited Prince Jade because he encountered a problem while refining the Time Sound Bell, so he asked for advice from the great immortal king of the fifth fairyland.
Zuo Songyan asked everyone to rest first. He had no time to rest himself, so he hurried to Ganquan Garden. When he looked up, he saw a small golden coffin hanging at the door of Ganquan Garden. Yingying was also hanging there with a big golden chain, motionless, with dull eyes.
Her eyes rolled and fell on Zuo Songyan's face. The corners of her mouth twitched, as if she wanted to beg him to ask the big gold chain to let her go.
Zuo Songyan was used to it and thought, "This gold chain will tie up anything it likes. I'd better not mess with it."
The big golden chain was very long, extending all the way to the central hall of Ganquan Garden. In addition to Yingying, there was also a tiny five-colored boat hanging on the golden chain.
After walking a few more steps, he saw Fang Zhuzhi hanging there.
Zuo Songyan frowned and continued to move forward, and saw Shi Weiran also hanging on the chain.
Zuo Songyan climbed up the steps of the central hall and saw Yue Zhaoquan, Li Shangxue and other six elders sitting with Su Yun. Xishan Sanren was explaining to Su Yun the mysteries of Taoism contained in Shuanghe Cave Heaven. Many young scholars from Tongtian Pavilion were sitting cross-legged in the hall, listening and taking notes.
These scholars are the younger generation of Tsutenkaku, and they all have their own book monsters and pen monsters. This is the custom of Tsutenkaku.
Of course, Su Yun only has Yingying, not his own pen monster.
—Of course, the master of Tongtian Pavilion cannot be considered a member of Tongtian Pavilion, but is just the strongest thug hired by Tongtian Pavilion. He has no strict requirements for pen monsters and book monsters.
Zuo Songyan hurried over and said to Su Yun, "Master, all the roads have been opened."
Su Yun stood up and said with a smile: "You have worked hard, go and have a rest first."
Zuo Songyan was also really tired, and he was a little absorbed in listening to Xishan Sanren explaining the mysteries of the Nanhe and Beihe rivers. At this moment, someone suddenly rushed in and bowed, saying, "Holy Emperor, we have found the whereabouts of Wen Qiao!"
Su Yun was refreshed, and immediately raised his hand to remove the gold chain, saving Fang Zhuzhi and Shi Weiran, and said with a smile: "Yingying, let's go!"
