Over Laizhou, three streamers of light flew quickly among the clouds.
Tianya Zhenjun is in the middle, and the two people around him are friends he has made in the past sixty years.
Luan Zhixiang, the sixth-rank sect in Zhongzhou, ‘Xuantian Sword Sect’, and Weiyang Zhenjun, the fifth-rank sect in Jizhou, ‘Jinxiashan’.
The two of them, like True Monarch Tianya, are both at the Cave Heaven Realm.
Sixty years ago, when the sects of the Azure Realm began to advance, the True Lords of the Cave Heaven Realm from each sect were transferred to the void outside the Azure Realm to serve as tool men.
It was not until one month ago that the sixty-year mission period ended, and many True Lords of the Cave Heaven Realm were freed.
Although he has been in the void for sixty years, it does not mean that he will be out of touch with the world of practice.
From time to time, the True Lords of Yuanshen from various sects come to the outside world and tell the public about some major events and minor incidents that happened in the practice world.
In the past sixty years, the blue world has not only led back to more than a dozen secret realms and small worlds.
What attracts the most attention is that the Xiantian Yiqi Sect moved south to establish a branch, the Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect.
In particular, there is a lot of news about Zhenjun Ruyi, which is shocking.
Carrying mountains to walk in the sky, throwing peaks to block the sun, pulling mountains and crossing seas, this sounds like a plot that can only be found in myths.
In addition, there are things like extinguishing the blood mist, capturing the true lord, building Penglai, etc. that are unbelievable for many true lords in the cave heaven realm.
The name Ruyi Zhenjun Zhang Ke is deeply reflected in the minds of many Dongtian Realm Zhenjun.
True Lord Tianya originally wanted to return to Dingzhou's "Xiantian Yiqi Sect".
When returning, True Lord Tianya thought of the branch of the sect and didn't know what it was like now, so he couldn't help but want to check it out.
After Luan Zhixiang and True Lord Weiyang heard about it, they both became interested and insisted on traveling with True Lord Tianya.
They were also a little curious about the person they had never met, but who was already famous.
True Lord Tianya knows the location of Yiqi Nanzong.
A few years ago, True Lord Chongxiao came outside the realm and told him.
Seeing that they were about to reach the Penglai sea area, True Lord Tianya said to the two of them:
"This branch has only been established for more than ten years, and it is probably still a wilderness. Don't make fun of me when you two meet!"
Luan Zhixiang laughed and said:
"This is natural. In just ten years, no one can achieve anything.
However, I heard that a disciple of yours took two million people southward with no damage along the way. I don’t know how you did it.
When I meet True Lord Ruyi, fellow Taoist, please help me ask."
True Lord Tianya's heart moved.
"From what my fellow Taoist said, could it be that he also intends to migrate?"
True Lord Weiyang smiled and said:
"Not just Fellow Daoist Luan, there are countless sects in the Azure World who want to imitate your sect and go overseas to establish branches.
Even my sect is the same. The year before last, the headmaster of our sect, Yuan Xiu, told me to seek a charter from your sect for integrating the reefs and building the island."
Luan Zhixiang sighed:
"Alas! Taoist friends also know that even though more than a dozen secret realms have been attracted, the area of the Azure Realm has been expanded a lot, but most of the areas are occupied by high-grade sects.
The Blue World is so big, with more wolves and less meat, it’s hard to make ends meet!
The successful integration of the Gui sect and the construction of the island can be said to have found new development opportunities for the Tianxia sect, which was trapped in one side.
only..."
True Lord Weiyang said:
“It’s just that various sects have tried, but no sect has succeeded in building an island on the sea.
Therefore, I would like to ask fellow Taoist friends to make a recommendation and seek a strategy for successfully integrating reefs and building islands."
True Lord Tianya shook his head and laughed.
"I asked you why you two were kind enough to accompany me to Penglai. It turns out you had ulterior motives."
He said something jokingly, but did not make a commitment to the two of them. This matter needed to be discussed in detail with Zhang Ke, and he could not express his position on Zhang Ke's behalf.
Luan Zhixiang and True Lord Weiyang didn't expect True Lord Tianya to agree immediately. They just wanted to let him know their feelings.
Dong Tianjun flew so fast, and soon the three of them arrived above the Penglai Sea.
But looking at the scene revealed in the Penglai Sea below, the three of them were stunned.
‘Is this really the Penglai sea area that was established just a dozen years ago?’
I saw two islands below, one large and one small, separated by a hundred miles and facing each other.
On the two islands, there are countless high-rise buildings rising from the ground, ranging from ten floors to dozens of floors high.
Most high-rise buildings are ring-shaped structures, like pillars standing on an island.
Countless wide roads extend in all directions like spider webs, dividing all the buildings like jade belts.
This is a scene that the three of them have never seen anywhere in the blue world.
‘How are such tall buildings built?
Even thousand-year-old ironwood can’t support such a high floor, right?’
Zhenjun Tianya saw clearly. He discovered that hundreds of high-rise buildings were being built on the two islands at this time, and countless people were entering and exiting these buildings.
What attracted the most attention of the three people was that between the two islands, some thick columns were exposed on the sea surface, and countless people were busy between these columns.
The sky is full of flying practitioners, running back and forth across the island.
In some flat areas of the island, countless green squares are neatly distributed.
These green areas occupy most of the two islands.
'These two islands were originally rocky areas like islands and reefs. How could it be possible to open up so much cultivated land?'
Zhenjun Weiyang asked in surprise:
"What...what's going on?"
Zhenjun Tianya looked confused, everything below him was beyond his imagination.
In his imagination, these two million people should live in low shacks and live a life of plenty and hunger.
After all, more than ten years have passed, and no matter how much supplies there are, they will be exhausted.
But at this moment, even if he didn't observe it closely, he could still feel an energetic atmosphere.
There were faint sounds of singing and laughter coming from below from time to time.
As if they noticed the three of them, a golden light shot up from the middle of the two islands, and they were close in the blink of an eye.
A tall man wearing a white-gold Taoist robe appeared, his eyes were tightly closed, his facial features were like knives and axes, and a golden pattern between his eyebrows appeared and disappeared.
"Disciple pays homage to the Patriarch!"
Zhang Ke bowed and saluted the True Lord Tianya.
True Lord Tianya smiled slightly and introduced the two people around him to Zhang Ke.
Zhang Ke quickly greeted them one by one.
After exchanging a few words, Zhenjun Tianya looked down and asked:
"How was this tall building built?"
Zhang Ke smiled and said:
"The Patriarch must have just returned from outside the territory, so he may not be very clear about some things.
Please go to the bottom and explain it to the Patriarch in detail."
...
Little Penglai.
Zhang Ke took Tianya Zhenjun and three other people to the rooftop of a thirty-three-story columnar building.
Zhenjun Weiyang looked around and found that the diameter of the rooftop was more than ten feet.
There is a stone platform in the center of the rooftop, and a flag about ten feet long is stuck in the stone platform, making a sound in the wind.
True Lord Weiyang looked at Qi Pan casually.
Seeing that the surface of this flag is made of black, red and gold, and the three lines form three spiritual lights that appear and disappear on the flag.
Wisps of clouds swayed from the surface of the flag from time to time, and a strange inspiration wandered among the flags and the flag.
'Um?'
True Lord Weiyang was shocked. He carefully inspected Qiban and couldn't help but lost his voice:
"Innate Spiritual Treasure?"
Zhang Ke, who was preparing spiritual tea for the three of them, smiled and said:
"Zhenjun has good eyesight!"
Tianya Zhenjun was also surprised in his heart, but he couldn't show it on his face, so he only looked indifferent.
Luan Zhixiang swallowed and stared at the flag pan.
He does not yet have an innate spiritual treasure with him, but Zhang Ke actually revealed such an important treasure in such a majestic manner.
At this moment, Zhang Ke became even more unpredictable and profound in his heart.
Look at your feet again, the ground is as smooth as a mirror, with countless Dharma patterns converging into gorgeous patterns hidden under the ground.
Looking further ahead, looking at the countless high-rise buildings all over the island, if they are all built with these rune-patterned floor tiles, then...
Luan Zhixiang simply couldn't imagine how many resources this would consume.
After the four people sat down and the spiritual tea was served, Zhang Kecai explained:
"The Patriarch and his two Taoist friends have been completing promotion tasks outside the territory for these years, so they may not know much about some things.
Decades ago, disciples refined a material called 'cement' that was very suitable for building buildings.
This substance is like powder in nature, and it melts when exposed to water. It can quickly solidify after being mixed with sand, and is as hard as iron.
All the high-rise buildings being built in Penglai and Penglai are now made of cement mixed with sand and steel bars."
True Lord Tianya knew about the cement matter, but Zhang Ke didn't want to explain it more and simply kept it vague.
True Lord Weiyang said in disbelief:
"Is this cement really so strong that it can support a tall building with dozens of floors?"
Zhang Ke smiled slightly, took out some cement, and quickly refined a square of rune-patterned bricks in front of the two of them.
"Please two fellow Taoists make it happen in person!"
Luan Zhixiang used his fingers to use a sword energy to cut a few times on the rune-patterned masonry, and he could immediately detect the hardness of the rune-patterned masonry based on the touch.
With the support of solid runes, this masonry is actually a bit harder than steel.
Luan Zhixiang's heart skipped a beat, and countless ways to use cement flashed through his mind.
He asked hesitantly:
"I don't know if this cement can be sold to others. If so, I'd like to pay a high price for it."
Zhang Ke smiled lightly.
"This item is of great use to our world in fighting against foreign enemies. As early as decades ago, our sect's recipe was announced to the world."
"Ss—!"
True Lord Weiyang inhaled slightly at Luan Zhixiang. The two of them could naturally see the importance of this thing at a glance.
However, they never expected that the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Sect’ would actually publish the formula of this product, which really impressed the two of them.
Almost at the same time, the two of them bowed their hands to Zhang Ke.
Not for anything else, just for the selfless dedication of the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Sect’.
True Lord Tianya used his spiritual thoughts to inspect the two islands and found that there were many Mohist disciples among them.
These Mohist disciples controlled various engineering puppets to build high-rise buildings together with the disciples of Yiqi Nanzong and the people.
Can't help but ask a little strangely:
"Ruyi, why are there so many Mohist disciples here?"
Zhang Ke explained:
"The founder didn't know that although the Penglai area is not small, most of the area needs to be freed up and used as cultivated land.
The remaining land is not enough to house the two million people, so so many high-rise residential buildings have been built.
However, it is easy to build high-rise buildings, but some problems are difficult to solve.
For example, water sources, going up and down stairs, and carrying items are all big problems.
There is no other way, so the disciples have no choice but to go to Qianxi City to ask Fenghua, and the two True Lords Lingyun and the disciples of Momen come to help."
