Chapter 678: Chapter 606 Immortal Gate Residence
The people from the Thirteen Bureau werenât many, but they were all giants recognized by name.
Yuan Hu was one of them.
The highest-ranking individual wasnât an Awakener but a middle-aged man holding a high position in the central government of Anxia Country.
Although Tang Yu didnât recognize him.
As a man who keeps his word, he said to maintain a sense of mystery, so he showed his face briefly and âentrustedâ everything to Shanggong Ling.
As for him⊠he stayed on the third floor of the villa, listening with his spiritual power, occasionally providing âcovert guidanceâ where Shanggong Ling was unclear.
Being a teacher is not easy!
So reflected Strongest Master Tang.
Facing several bigwigs, Shanggong Ling started off a bit constrained, but soon adapted.
On one hand, she had clinged to influential figures, and after just two days, she hastened her cultivation to the third layer of Awakening, now viewing giants like Yuan Hu as ânothing exceptional.â
On the other hand,
Tang Yu hadnât expected that Shanggong Ling, who seemed unreliable and harbored naive dreams of âperforming chivalrous acts,â would handle matters with ease.
Perhaps this was a case of being influenced by what she continually saw.
Shanggong Ling wasnât just an ordinary wealthy daughter; she once mentioned in passing that if she hadnât Awakened and succeeded in apprenticing herself, if she couldnât achieve her dreams after graduating from college, then⊠she would have to go back and inherit a fortune worth billions.
That was not the life she wanted!
Upon hearing this, Tang Yu not at all miffed and stated that entrusting Shanggong Ling with revitalizing the Immortal Gate could not be more appropriate.
âŠ
The delegation from Anxia Country came for side attacks and probing for information, but after more than an hour, they were unable to get any truly valuable information about âImmortal Gateâ from Shanggong Ling.
Where did Immortal Gate come from?
How many masters does the sect have?
How many years had it been passed down?
It remained a mysteryâthe years mentioned by Shanggong Ling were something they couldnât quite believe.
In Anxia Country, or even across the entire Sky Blue Star, there certainly were some ancient sects and secret organizations. However, for the major nations, these so-called sects and organizations were of little consequence.
The more influential ones were all documented.
Yet, after searching the archives, there was no trace of âImmortal Gateâ; it was like it had appeared out of thin air.
That the officials of Anxia Country didnât know about Immortal Gate only made it more daunting.
Even from the young Shanggong Ling, they failed to extract valuable words, compelled to concede that the new waves overcome the oldâa sentiment that perhaps Shanggong Ling herself wasnât clear on, or maybe the current âImmortal Gateâ didnât really have anything to disclose?
âImmortal Gate is too mystic. Apart from that Tang surname power and Shanggong Ling, we have no idea about any other masters. Is it really safe to agree with them?â
Having left the villa, someone with a solemn expression spoke in the returning car.
âItâs precisely because of this that we must agree, and we also need the aid of Immortal Gateâs masters,â said the leading middle-aged man, a sharp gleam crossing his eyes. âImmortal Gate desires recognition; they canât bypass our countryâs support for publicity. Even if we agree, the extent of our promotional efforts is still up to us to decide.
Moreover, only a tiny fraction of people know about Awakeners, and Immortal Gate is known only as a ânormal sectâ in appearance. How much attention could it draw?â
He paused, âWe should support Immortal Gate in wanting a base. That way, we can place the mystic Immortal Gate in the spotlight. If they want to take disciples, we can send people in to infiltrate and find out the specifics of Immortal Gate⊠Maybe thereâs a method in Immortal Gate that allows Awakeners to break through on their own.â
âŠ
The next day, the weather was clear.
Tang Yu and Shanggong Ling drove to a location more than two hundred kilometers away from Anhu City.
Kunwu Mountain Range.
One of the mountain peaks, along with a large surrounding area, was sold to âImmortal Gateâ at an extremely low price, the money of course coming from the wealthy Shanggong Ling. Tang, the Great Lord Tang, how could he possibly care about mere worldly wealth?
Kunwu Mountain was in a remote area. After the vehicles stopped at the last village, the two of them walked for over ten kilometers to reach their destination.
âNext to the mountain and by the water, very nice, the concentration of Source Qi is also much higher than in the urban areas.â
It was indeed a geomantically treasured site.
âBut Master, this place is too remote and there are no roads. Construction teams will have a hard time getting here, and itâs impossible to set up the semblance of Immortal Gate in a short time.â
Tang Yu smiled without responding.
Stepping into the void, he wandered around Kunwu Mountain for half a day before finally choosing the best location to build the sub-territory.
âNow itâs time to witness a miracle.â
âWatch closely!â
Surging Source Power from within his body rushed to his palm. Tang Yu reached out with a gripping motion towards a nearby mountaintop.
A pale reddish Source Power brilliance burst forth, silent as a thin blade, and carved a platform several square kilometers in size out of the lush green mountainside.
It looked as though the mountain had been scalped.
âRise.â
As his palm faced upward, with the consumption of telekinesis value and Source Crystals, a mighty force descended onto this piece of land. Grass, wood, and stones flew from the surroundings as the sub-territoryâs fortress began to take shape.
Suddenly, Tang Yu paused, feeling something was amiss.
The fortress and Immortal Gate didnât quite match in style.
With a thought, he waved his hand and the grass, wood, and stones transformed. He used up another two hundred thousand stored Source Crystals, and in an instant, a magnificent temple complex appeared on the mountainside.
The territory expanded, encompassing the mid-mountain platform.
âNot enoughâŠâ
He continued to consume telekinesis value to expand the territory range.
One kilometer,
Two kilometers,
Five kilometers,
In one breath, Tang Yu expanded the territory to a radius of five kilometers, including the location where he stood.
In that instant,
All the pressure he had felt since his arrival in this world dissipated, and he regained the combat power of a Transcendent Second Tier.
This was not the end,
Tang Yu continued building. Besides the main hall, several other temple complexes appeared on the mid-mountain platform.
There was a âtraining campâ version of the practice room, future Immortal Gate disciplesâ âdormitoriesâ, and more. A white jade staircase meandered from the mid-mountain down to the foot, surrounded by blooming lotuses and mist, resembling an Immortal Realm.
âThe concentration of Source Qi is still lacking.â
Instead of building a Source Gathering Array, he opted for a Source Qi Pool capable of absorbing energy from the Void to produce Source Qi.
In no time, centered on the Immortal Gate at Kunwu Mountain, the concentration of Source Qi increased countless times. Though not yet reaching the average concentration of â1â on Earth, it was much closer.
Such a miracle, such a scene of Immortality, left Shanggong Ling utterly dumbfounded.
She took two deep breaths of the pure Source Qi, her face showing complete satisfaction.
âThe headquarters of Immortal Gate are established, the rest of the tasks are yours now, young girl, strive well.â
âŠ
The Immortal Gate was enveloped in an Illusion Array, and despite the apparent massive construction, it did not attract any detection. The satellites of Anxia Country could only see a fog.
Building the website, promoting momentum, various tasks were proceeding smoothly with the flow of money.
A week later, the grand ceremony of accepting disciples at Immortal Gate began.
