The construction of Yao Mountain City had been going on like a raging fire.
The foundation of the four city walls surrounding Yao Mountain had been under construction. The city wall designed by Kua E was three-hundred and sixty miles long, one hundred and eighty meters tall, and a mile wide. In order to withstand the great counterforce of the Heaven and Earth great formation, the city wall had to have an extremely solid foundation.
Therefore, divine Gods dug four ten-mile wide trenches as the foundation of the city wall. The trenches were dug downwards, through the nine earth meridians, and reached thirty-six thousand meters deep. In the deepest part of the trenches, the width had already reached around a hundred miles. Divine Gods had been strengthening the rock layer in this area, drawing countless enormous earth meridians into this area.
The first batch of divine materials collected from the starry void arrived in Yao Mountain half a year later. Tens of enormous cauldrons smelted and melted a hundred and eight types of rare divine materials into the legendary 'starry divine iron' with a secret magic from the heaven. Layer by layer, the iron was cast in the trench underground.
Starry divine iron was a special kind of alloy. During the smelting process, spirit blood of flood dragons and fierce beasts would be added, along with a large amount of spirit blood of the humankind.
In order to smelt the starry divine iron, every three days, Senior Magi under Ji Hao's command had to cut their own blood veins and let out a large amount of blood. The great loss of blood had seriously damaged the life-force of Senior Magi under Ji Hao's command. On average, the fighting capacity of these Senior Magi had dropped by around thirty percent.
But all this was worth it.
Ji Hao stood on top of Yao Mountain, watching tens of enormous cauldrons being opened simultaneously. Seven-colored liquid iron spurted out of the cauldrons like enormous dragons, pouring into the four deep trenches along with a great heat.
The earth rumbled while steam rose from the ground. The liquid iron surged in the trenches, crazily devouring the natural power sent over by the earth meridians. Stimulated by the natural power, the liquid iron glowed with a dazzling glow, illuminating the sky above Yao Mountain with all kinds of colors, making it look extraordinarily beautiful.
The liquid iron was especially heavy. Under the control of divine Gods, it quickly seeped into the foundation of Yao Mountain through the cracks in the soil and rock layers. The vast Yao Mountain was quickly penetrated by the liquid iron. Rocks and sands were assimilated by the liquid iron, quickly merging into a whole piece.
The color of the Starry Divine Iron was like a rainbow after the rain, and it was said to be as old as the heaven and earth, and would never be worn out. Once it was cast, no matter how much rain or wind blew, no matter how much the world changed, it would not be able to damage the Starry Divine Iron in the slightest. This was a magical material used by the Ancient Celestial Court to cast the foundation of the Heavenly Palace, and only a few descendants of the Ancient Gods had mastered the secret method of smelting it.
In particular, the Starry Divine Iron was miraculous and extraordinary. It had a perfect degree of Yuan Qi fusion. Any kind of energy and natural Yuan Qi could pass through the Starry Divine Iron without any damage. Even a small piece of Starry Divine Iron could contain a huge amount of natural Yuan Qi. It could be said to be the best material for the foundation of a formation.
The quality of the materials used was not as good as the ones used in the prehistorical era, added with the fact that the divine gods who forged the divine iron were not as powerful as ancient divine gods, and added with the fact that the quality of the spirit blood in the cauldron was limited, the starry divine iron made in Yao Mountain City by Ji Hao was much worse than the ones used in the heaven. The starry divine iron made in Yao Mountain City was less than ten percent as good as the real ones.
Despite such a poor quality, the starry divine iron could still be counted as a divine material. Using it to build the foundation of a small Yao Mountain City could only be described as' luxurious'.
Layers of molten iron were poured onto the foundation. The divine gods who were responsible for the construction floated above the boiling molten iron, ceaselessly cutting their own fingers and dripping drops of divine blood, which contained great divine power, into the molten iron.
They had been loudly incanting a divine spell that had been passed down from generation to generation. The blood drops held in their hands twisted and changed, transforming into different sized divine spell symbols and imprinting in the molten iron.
A great amount of natural Yuan Qi ceaselessly surged into the molten iron through different sized earth meridians. Countless divine spell symbols had been rolling in the boiling starry divine iron, ceaselessly absorbing the natural Yuan Qi. Gradually, these divine spell symbols turned solid from hazy silhouettes, and at last, they seemed to be tangible.
Ji Hao stood on the mountaintop, looking down at the boiling molten iron in the trench, then raised his head and looked at those roaring cauldrons. He couldn't help but feel a bit worried and said, "It will take another half a year for the follow-up materials to arrive. What if the molten iron solidifies?"
Kua E, who had been directing the construction work, heard Ji Hao's words and couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Earl Yao, don't worry, you don't have to worry about that at all. Starry divine iron is a divine material, not ordinary iron can compare with it. We will pour the molten iron on the foundation layer by layer. Unless we activate our divine seals, this molten iron will never solidify. When the follow-up materials arrive, we will continue to pour the molten iron, and it will definitely be perfect. "
Ji Hao instantly felt relieved, grinned to Kua E and said, "Thank you for your trouble. Please take good care of this. I have already sent people to Pu Ban City to buy some good wines. Dear divine gods, you only need to eat the best wines and meat."
"Good wine!" Kua E's saliva almost spurted out of his mouth. He popped out his eyes and yelled at Ji Hao, "Earl Yao, if you can go to the Eastern Wasteland Ocean, slaughter three-thousand enormous dragons and bring them back, then put their bodies in the foundation of the city wall, I can assure you that this city wall of yours will be as strong as the wall of the heaven!"
Ji Hao's face turned dark. He swung his sleeve, turned around and walked right away.
What a joke! An adult dragon could be as powerful as a Magus King, and slightly stronger ones would definitely be as powerful as a Divine Magus. Slaughtering three-thousand enormous dragons in the Eastern Wasteland Ocean? Wouldn't he be sending himself to Ji Hao's door?
In a deep valley on one side of Yao Mountain, Ji Hao had opened up hundreds of different sized caves. Three-thousand boys and girls, carefully selected from among his people, were all smart. At the moment, these boys and girls were gathered in these caves, receiving lessons from Yu Mu and Shaosi.
Based on the inner palace of the Magi Palace, Ji Hao selected a batch of young kids and started an elite education, providing them with everything they needed to cultivate themselves. These kids were still very weak at the moment, but given enough time and resources, Ji Hao believed that in ten years tops, he could raise all of them into Senior Magi.
An elite group of Senior Magi who had been incomparably close to Ji Hao since they were little, and had been loyal to Ji Hao, would become the core power of Yao Mountain territory in the future.
Ji Hao didn't only teach them magic, he also taught them all kinds of skills, such as daily administration, human resource management, laws and regulations, marching armies and fighting battles, even intelligence gathering, surveillance and so on. Ji Hao wanted to raise them into future officials of his clan, into family ministers of Earl Yao's clan.
When Ji Hao returned to the deep valley, the morning classes had already ended. Three-thousand kids of similar age stood on top of a mountain, staring at the main peak of Yao Mountain, which was hundreds of miles away.
From time to time, some kids would shout out in surprise, praising the great power of those divine Gods.
Shaosi stood in the middle of them and said gently, "Yao Mountain City is being built over there, your future home!"
"As long as you are willing to work hard, sooner or later, you will be as powerful as those divine Gods. You will have the power to protect Yao Mountain City, your homes, your parents and your clansmen. "
Ji Hao smilingly looked at Shaosi.
Shaosi was not only an excellent manager, she was also good at dealing with these kids. Ji Hao had even viciously guessed, 'Is it because Taisi is actually an old kid, and Shaosi has been taking care of him for so many years, that's why she's so good at dealing with kids?'
While Ji Hao was sneakily laughing, an assistant who was lent to Ji Hao by Emperor Shun rushed over with big steps.
"Earl Yao, the eight-hundred kids you asked us to select have been selected."
