Chapter 549: Chapter 491: Power of the Seventh-Level Territory

Several days passed in the blink of an eye.

The building ceremony of Green Shadow received favorable responses.

On the “Ten Great Holy Lands Brochure,” the cover picture of Green Shadow had transformed into floating islands with numerous buildings densely packed and many smaller islands scattered around, which included giant rocks and pebbles guarding the central city.

At first glance, the aura was simply different, distinct from those garishly cheap tricks.

The Ancient Spirit Imperial Capital? Grand and spectacular, full of historical charm, but Green Shadow had taken flight.

Purcell’s Royal Family’s Divine Mountain, rumored to traverse the void, though could you actually demonstrate it to us survivors? Bragging on brochures alone is false advertising and that’s not right!

Before, Warrendo’s Mechanical City was considered the highest in prestige among the Ten Great Holy Lands. The promotional images looked incredibly sci-fi, and indeed, the Mechanical City could actually fly. According to witnesses, the Mechanical City was not originally located in that region, but had migrated there later, naturally by taking flight.

Very spectacular,

with solid proof.

However, except for that instance, Mechanical City had never flown again. Insiders revealed that every time the Mechanical City took to the skies, the resources used were counted by the “lake,” and Warrendo could not afford such costs.

Green Shadow was quite bold.

The Floating Land had been hovering in the sky all this while, and it was especially stable; standing on it, there absolutely was no feeling of seasickness or air sickness.

Initially, some people inevitably worried, for example, whether stones surrounding the Floating Land might fall off, and walking on the smaller floating islands required extra caution.

Some more creatively minded individuals, a few Awakeners, even tried to bore into the Floating Land to study the “Depth of Floating and Land,” but were promptly invited by the Guardian Corps’s Law Enforcers for a “tea” in the mining area.

The castle,

calculating the telekinesis energy value income from these days, Tang Yu was quite satisfied.

Changing the terrain, creating rivers, shaping mountains… all sorts of seemingly impossible miracles didn’t consume much telekinesis energy after all.

The reason being, after the territory was established, the land, mountains, vegetation, and even the air and Source Qi within the range were constantly being assimilated. It had now essentially merged into one with the territory.

Entering “Sovereign Mode,” he felt like he had the power of the elements, akin to the Elves… Hill Elves controlling hills, River Elves commanding rivers, and him, probably of the entire series, and his power far greater than that of the Elves… at least “Zhen” could only manipulate the Source Qi within its range, whereas he could completely separate it.

This was the difference in authority.

The gap between VIP13 and software developers.

Maintaining the continent’s floatation also cost a certain amount of telekinesis energy, and here, Great Lord Tang was very generous. Wool came from the sheep themselves, and without creating a shocking scene, how could he generate more telekinesis from the survivors?

After all, he was not just concerned with appearances.

The floating islands and rocks around the main floating land also played a significant role. Tang Yu planned to use these floating islands to build a true defense system.

The inspiration still came from his personal domain.

Under his personal domain, all temporary defensive structures could move with him, but once permanent buildings were constructed, they could only be dismantled if they needed to be moved.

With these floating islands as “carriers,” although the defensive buildings still couldn’t move, the islands could, and these smaller islands and rocks required very low energy to move, making them cost-effective.

He had been pondering these past few days.

On some of the floating islands, defensive structures had already been erected, many more were in the planning stages, and his desk was piled with design drafts.

Tang Yu opened the system panel, browsed the list of defensive buildings.

At tier seven territory, no new buildings had appeared, yes, not a single one.

Initially, Great Lord Tang was shocked, thinking the rotten system had finally malfunctioned, only to discover later that things were not that simple.

There were no new system buildings, but he could add them himself.

The most basic operation was to input the existing templates, for example… the “Destruction Giant Cannon” obtained from the Holy City. When… built within the territory range, it could be turned into a system building at a lower cost, and he could construct it instantly just by thinking about it.

Tang Yu had already tried it, the price, cheaper than the original.

The original “Destruction Giant Cannon,” its cost in terms of Source Crystal was about 1.22M, and that was already the version optimized generations after generations by the Holy City. Beiting’s Fortress Cannon couldn’t be built without several million to hundreds of millions of Source Crystals, not to mention the time and labor costs involved.

Once it became a system-affirmed building, it didn’t cost 1.22M, not even 980K, the price plummeted, only 550K Source Crystals, or he could opt for a 100K+ materials construction method. Combining it with the floating islands, Tang Yu also conceived some new defense modes.

For instance, charging the Destruction Giant Cannon before using the floating island to get up close for the attack.

Tang Yu didn’t forget the other defense structures.

Before, the various “attributes” of system buildings were fixed, such as the range of a first-tier Arrow Tower, the power of a second-tier Arrow Tower, he couldn’t change those. But now, with a tier seven territory, Tang Yu could alter these buildings.

He clicked on the “Third Tier Arrow Tower” section.

Several major options appeared: “Overall Upgrade (Tier 4 Arrow Tower),” “Range Enhancement,” “Power Enhancement,” “Defense Enhancement,” “Adding Special Effects,” and more.

He could choose these research directions all at once, though the cost increased progressively. If the first research direction initially cost 100K Source Crystals, the second one would need 200K Source Crystals.

No haggling allowed.

Tang Yu first bypassed “Defense Enhancement,” since Arrow Towers were consumables, who needed defense?

“Power Enhancement” also didn’t seem very useful. No matter how much he enhanced it, it wouldn’t threaten the Transcendent beings.

He chose special effects, with options like “Frost Attachment,” “Basic Flame Attachment,” “Toxin Attachment,” “Slowing Attachment,” “Void Attachment”…

The prices varied, and some of these effects indeed could impact the Transcendent beings.

Then, choosing Range Enhancement, Arrow Towers could finally make a difference against Transcendent beings.

Other defensive buildings like Super Demon Prism Tower, after enhancements, had even greater effects.

“Transcendent, it turns out I am also of Transcendent level now.”

Tang Yu murmured.

But why isn’t there even a tiny bit of excitement?

At the moment of territory upgrade, the bottleneck within his body shattered abruptly, all too naturally, just like eating and drinking.

He felt no sense of achievement.

After becoming Transcendent, the Source Power Pool within his body expanded rapidly, every cell in his body was transforming, and an unusual force field diffused around him.

He could now fly effortlessly into the sky, and because of the force field’s existence, he felt no resistance at all while flying, whether it was high-speed flight or acrobatic flying, he could maintain perfectly unruffled hair.

However, all these sensations, when compared to entering the “Sovereign Mode,” suddenly seemed bland.

“Ah~”

…

Over the past few days, Tang Yu had been exploring the uses of a seventh-tier territory.

One of the functions was to input new system buildings, including the previously mentioned “Moonlight Waterfall” and “Pure Source Power Pool,” which could also be included within the range of system buildings—only, constructing a complete “Moonlight Waterfall” required repairing it first.

And the most crucial material could not be found on Earth.

His gaze fell on the Transmission Array.

The highest authority level showed different options.

[Selectable Transmission Points: Luoxia, Beiting, Yangtze River Delta, Reserve Territory]

[Dimensional Space Transmission: Mage Alliance Branch, Ruins Secret Realm No.1, Ruins Secret Realm No.2… Holy Domain…]

[External Transmission: Unnamed World ①, Unnamed World ②, Searching… (Inserting Source Crystals can speed up the search)]

He had speculated that the system had coordinates of some Otherworlds, with more than half of his followers including Eileen, Luo Zhe, Nancy coming from the same world, maintaining close contact…

“One of those unnamed worlds should be that one.”

He was definitely going to go, not just for materials.

From what few Alien Race captives had told him, a Devil Race Envoy, including Pseudo Holy Tier Demonized Beasts, might visit again in a few months.

The world barrier of Origin Star was also slowly weakening, Tang Yu was not sure how long it could hold, but at least for a few months, it was nearly impossible to develop the power to match a Pseudo Holy.

We could only take less conventional approaches.

With a thought, Tang Yu instantly teleported from his castle room to Cultivation Holy Land No.1—this was also a new power of a seventh-tier territory, allowing free movement within the territory’s range… limited to connected territories. To go to Sub-territories, the Transmission Array was still needed.

He saw Eileen sitting cross-legged, cultivating.

She opened her eyes, sparking with brilliance, hidden excitement in her tone, “I have condensed a Source Power Core.”

Tang Yu paused in his steps, about to speak, then suddenly unsure what to say.

He waved his hand, and a wave of invisible telekinesis enveloped Eileen.

“Any feelings?”

“The cultivation speed has increased, and it’s easier to breakthrough, plus there’s a sense of clarity in my mind, like if I studied Magic, it should flow more smoothly, somewhat similar to Qi Fortune.”

Tang Yu nodded.

The second important use of telekinesis value should be to assist in cultivation. At the Transcendent First Tier, it mainly accumulates energy, the effect of telekinesis assisting in cultivation doesn’t seem significant, at least not as powerful as consuming crystals in the Pure Source Power Pool.

However, at Transcendent Second Tier, Third Tier, its significant effects start to show.

And mental clarity… he hadn’t noticed this when he used it on himself before, his eyes narrowed suddenly… could it be, comprehension?

After trying for a couple of hours with Eileen, he had basically figured out the supportive effects of telekinesis on oneself.

He quickly gave the telekinesis BUFF to Shay, Xing Ling Xing Yue, Lorraine, Carmen Three Brothers, and other followers who were at the final stage of their Awakening Perfection, which he believed could be of considerable help.

Tang Yu defined the functions of telekinesis on the system panel.

[Aid, Control, Alter Terrain]

[Additionally, after the territory upgrade, there were no new Sub-territory privileges, instead, it required using telekinesis value to expand, 1M telekinesis units could expand a new Sub-territory, and also expand the territory’s range, moreover, it could specify expansion in a certain direction…]

Having thoroughly explored, Tang Yu instantly teleported, saving the trouble of exiting the door, lifting his feet, flying, descending, walking, and arrived directly in front of the pub.

A tier-one pub has three contract slots.

Tier two six, tier three nine, tier four eighteen, tier five twenty-seven, tier six thirty-six…

Tier seven had no changes.

However,

“The randomness of previous summonings was too great, it was nearly impossible to get a satisfying follower, but now, it’s different.”

PS: I thought for a long time and had to share sad news, today is the last day of the year that the author updates the novel, thank you all for the company along the way, probably… won’t update until next year, hope everyone can understand—

Huh?

Is it almost next year already?

Then… Happy New Year, starting next year I’ll resume two updates, just like that, waving cheerfullyヾ(๑╹◡╹)ﾉ”
