Chapter 1845 - 1112: A New Foothold

Chapter 1845: Chapter 1112: A New Foothold

In the western region of Heng Mountain in the central area, the terrain here is grand and peculiar, with countless peaks overlapping each other, jagged and tangled, mountain within mountains, mountains outside of mountains, endlessly continuous.

Vegetation grows wildly in the mountains, with stone springs, streams, and ponds scattered everywhere. At a glance, it is lush and vibrant, full of a primal atmosphere.

Yang Zhenshan wandered in the mountains for more than two hours before finding a relatively flat valley.

On the east and west sides of the valley, there are tall mountains, seemingly as if someone had split them apart, forming a straight up-and-down fissure in between.

Perhaps it does not just seem like it; there might have been powerful beings fighting here before. The aftermath of the battle fell on this place, splitting the connecting part of the two peaks.

The valley is over ten miles long, with the widest part being less than two hundred zhang. The north is blocked by high mountains, while the south is a relatively gentle slope.

At the bottom of the valley, there is a small creek formed by a mountain spring, meandering southward, flowing straight to the foothills of the southern mountain, forming a not-too-large lake.

There should be a Spirit Vein underground, but the quality of the Spirit Vein is not high, only reaching the First-order top grade level.

This could be considered a Blessed Land; if placed within the Yunxiao Mountain Range, it would be a decent Blessed Land. However, within Heng Mountain, such a Blessed Land appears somewhat low-grade.

Ordinary Golden Core Powers likely wouldn’t favor such a Blessed Land, mainly because the Spirit Vein here is rather short, restricted between the two mountains, and the most spirit fields that can be developed would be only a thousand acres or so.

Yang Zhenshan is interested in this place because the Spirit Source Land does not need a Blessed Land or spirit fields; what the Spirit Source Land requires is merely an outwardly connected base.

This valley before his eyes is just right, located deep in the mountains, relatively concealed, and without any Immortal Cultivator influences nearby, only some insignificant demon beasts and mutant beasts.

Thus, for the Spirit Source Land to occupy here could be easily achieved, and it would not bring any trouble.

Of course, the most crucial point is that here is only eight thousand li away from the Hengshan Sect, and no more than ten thousand li from Taoyuan Mountain, making trade with either very convenient.

Additionally, within twenty thousand li north from here lies the Wanbao Immortal City.

If in the future, the Spirit Source Land could establish cooperation with the Ten Thousand Treasures Sect, trade between the two would also be convenient.

Landing in the valley, Yang Zhenshan casually tossed a group of Green Wolves residing there into the Green Wolf Mountain of the Spirit Source Land.

These Green Wolves are Gale Grey Wolves, belonging to the same clan as those in Green Wolf Mountain, making it quite suitable to have them together.

As for whether these Green Wolves are wild and hard to tame, Yang Zhenshan need not worry, as the Green Wolf King will naturally subdue them.

Having cleared out the original inhabitants, Yang Zhenshan casually opened the Pocket World Gate.

Moments later, Cui Yang led a group of hundreds through the gate.

"Greetings, Master!"

"Greetings, True Monarch!"

Yang Zhenshan waved his hand, "No need for formalities. Let’s settle here for now, Cui Yang, the rest is up to you!"

Temporarily giving up the Yang Family Blessed Land to build a new foothold in the central area was a long-planned endeavor by the Spirit Source Land.

Personnel, arrays, construction materials, etc., were all prepared in Jade City, just waiting for Yang Zhenshan to select a location.

Now that he has chosen a location, the remaining tasks became simple.

This is only a foothold, not requiring extensive construction, just the setup of an array and the erection of some buildings.

Yang Zhenshan placed the Pocket World Gate on the eastern cliff, suitable for a Vermilion Bird Cloud Boat to fly out and ascend directly on the spot.

Although it felt a bit narrow, it’s only a temporary foothold, not necessary to expend too much manpower or resources.

"Yes, Master," Cui Yang responded.

Yang Zhenshan gave a slight nod and then returned to the White Jade City Immortal Palace.

After seeing off Yang Zhenshan, Cui Yang immediately allocated manpower to transport the pre-prepared construction materials from the Spirit Source Land, then organized the workforce to level the valley and build houses.

A group of Martial Artists involved in construction, naturally, the speed is top-notch.

With high mountains on both sides, there’s no lack of mountain rocks, several Golden Body Realm Martial Artists selected a seemingly very hard rock, and under the flashing of blades and swords, the rock turned into blocks of squared bricks.

Then a group of Innate Martial Artists tossed these bricks to the places needing construction; they tossed them directly over, with no need for shoulder carrying or hand lifting.

Bricks tossed over, there were also specialists handling the bricks there, laying the foundations, paving the bricks. They cut the bricks into mortise and tenon structures like cutting tofu, and pieced them together block by block.

In just a few hours, the foundation of a solid pavilion was completed.

There were not suitable round timbers here, but the Spirit Source Land had many century-old trees, all very suitable for serving as beams and columns.

With beams and columns erected, following were walls, floors, roofs, etc., soon pavilions rose up from the ground.

Finally, there were wood carvings and stone carvings, along with various decorative items.

Even though this is just a temporary foothold, the Spirit Source Land would not casually slap together a few buildings. Each building was made very exquisite, full of meticulously carved details.

After all, those stationed here in the future are not ordinary people; besides Martial Artists, there are Immortal Cultivators, with at least one or two Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Besides the houses, Ning Yun also set up an array around the valley. The defensive capability of this array is quite ordinary but can block Spiritual Sense and isolate the Void, primarily to prevent any Golden Core Cultivators from prying.
