After refining the energy gathering formations for the magical plants and animals, Zhao Hai returned to the Golden Jade Sword. At this time, he had been away for more than a month. During this time, besides refining the energy gathering formations for the magical plants and animals, he had also been observing the water veins in the Destruction Desert.
However, the results of his observation disappointed him. He couldn't find a way to divert the water veins into the Destruction Desert. There were a lot of people living in the vicinity of the water veins. If Zhao Hai were to take the water veins away, then those people wouldn't be able to survive. Zhao Hai couldn't do such a thing, so he didn't divert the water veins.
Although this situation made Zhao Hai very disappointed, he felt relieved after thinking about it. Water was the source of life. No matter where people lived, they couldn't live without water. Therefore, as long as there was water, there would be people living there. This was an inevitable situation.
When Zhao Hai returned to the Golden Jade Sword, he discovered that the pasture there had grown very well. Moreover, there was no winter in the Destruction Desert. The temperature was very high all year round, allowing the pasture to grow nonstop. Because of this, the pasture that Zhao Hai saw was growing very well. The grass was very dense and very tall.
Zhao Hai pushed the lizard and descended from the sky. Gui Ling and the others immediately greeted him. Each of them had a smile on their faces. When they saw Zhao Hai, they immediately gave Zhao Hai a salute and said, "We have seen the Young Master."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he looked at the pasture and laughed, "Good, very good, very good. These pasture have been taken good care of by you."
Gui Ling smiled and said, "This is all thanks to Song Ling and the others. Also, the grasses that Young Master planted are really good. They grow very fast. Young Master, I think we don't need to build a city anymore. We can just graze on these grasses." Gui Ling smiled and said, "Alright.
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "We can't do it now. The problem of the water veins in the Destruction Desert hasn't been solved yet. Without a water source, once we leave, or without the Golden Jade Sword, the pasture here would quickly wither. Although the pasture is very resistant to drought, in extreme drought, they can only wither and die. Therefore, we need to solve the problem of the water source first."
Gui Ling nodded, then he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "But Young Master, if we want to solve the problem of the water source in the Destruction Desert, I'm afraid it won't be easy."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "It won't be easy. I'm going to go underground and take a look. The water veins on the surface have already become an important source of water for the surrounding countries. If we change the water veins, then it would cause unrest in the surrounding countries. When the time comes, they would come looking for us. Because of this, the Desolate Desert wouldn't be peaceful. Because of this, we can't change the water source. We can only look for it ourselves."
When Gui Ling heard Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but knit his brows and said, "But Young Master, if there really is underground water in the Destruction Desert, then it wouldn't be like this. I think it would be very difficult to find underground water here."
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "There are many reasons why there is no underground water here. The destruction energy from before is an important factor that affects the existence of underground water. Therefore, I believe that there will be underground water in the Destruction Desert."
Gui Ling said, "Young Master, what do we need to do?"
Zhao Hai thought for a moment, then he said, "How much do you know about the Destruction Desert? Does it rain here every year?"
Gui Ling thought for a moment, then he shook his head and said, "Young Master, in the past, the Destruction Desert was affected by the destruction energy. There was almost no rain here. Even if some dark clouds were to fly to the Destruction Desert, they would still be destroyed by the destruction energy. Therefore, it wouldn't rain here."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, "In other words, without the destruction energy, it would rain here? That's good. You don't need to worry about other things, just take care of the pasture. I'm going to take a look underground and find a way to bring underground water up. As long as there is water, the Destruction Desert will have vitality. Then our plan to transform the Destruction Desert can officially begin. "
Gui Ling said, "Young Master can rest assured. If it's just taking care of the pasture, then it would be very simple. If we didn't control the growth of the pasture, then the pasture would have already expanded. Young Master can rest assured about this."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, you just stay here and watch. You don't need to worry about other things." Gui Ling nodded and didn't say anything else.
Zhao Hai rested inside the Golden Jade Light Sword for two days. Then he gave some instructions to Gui Ling and the others. After that, his figure slowly went deep into the sand.
Gui Ling and the others looked at the place where Zhao Hai disappeared. They couldn't help but sigh. They could only watch while Zhao Hai was busy. This feeling wasn't very good.
Zhao Hai didn't know what they were thinking. He slowly went deep into the sand, and then his figure slowly sank. When he was about a hundred meters underground, Zhao Hai suddenly felt that the soil under his feet had changed, it had turned into stone. Zhao Hai stared, then he released his spiritual force and looked around. After looking around, Zhao Hai couldn't help but be stunned. This was because this wasn't the rock layer that Zhao Hai imagined, but the ruins of a city!
Zhao Hai looked around and finally discovered that this was a city that could accommodate more than a million people. But now, this city had turned into ruins. All the houses in the city had collapsed, even the walls had collapsed. One could also see some corpses. These corpses had been buried underground for who knows how many years. Some of them still retained their appearance when they were alive.
In addition to these, this city also had a lot of weapons. In addition to the weapons commonly used in the Soul Realm, Zhao Hai also saw other weapons. These weapons didn't seem to belong to the Soul Realm, they looked more like the weapons of the Destroyers. However, among these weapons, Zhao Hai didn't find any traction crystals.
Seeing such a large city in ruins, Zhao Hai couldn't help but sigh. This city must have been a very prosperous city in the past, but it was destroyed during the war. After the war, this place was abandoned and finally buried under the sand. To be honest, this result was really a pity.
However, besides sighing, Zhao Hai was also happy. This was because this city gave Zhao Hai hope. This was a city that could accommodate more than a million people. How could such a city be safe from water? In other words, there must be a water source nearby. If that was the case, then it would be great.
When Zhao Hai walked around the city, he didn't find any water source. There were some wells in the city, but these wells had long been buried by the sand. Moreover, it was impossible to improve the situation of the Destruction Desert with just these wells.
Zhao Hai didn't give up and walked around the city. In the end, he found several rivers in the city. The first one was the moat outside the city. Moreover, this moat seemed to be connected to the river. In addition to the moat, there were two other rivers that passed through the city. In other words, this city was definitely a place with abundant water sources in the past.
Zhao Hai followed these three rivers and finally found that these three rivers merged into a single river. This river was very wide. At first glance, one could see that it was a large river. However, there was no water in this river. It was obvious that the river had been cut off long ago.
However, Zhao Hai could feel a very dense water vapor coming from the river. This made Zhao Hai even more happy. He continued to follow the river and after a few days, he finally found an underground river.
This was an underground river with plenty of water. The previous river channel had been abandoned, and this underground river was below the previous one.
Zhao Hai entered the underground river and looked at it. At the same time, he went against the flow and went to the source of this underground river. What made Zhao Hai surprised was that the source of this underground river was actually in the Sword Spirit Country. It was a famous lake in the country. This lake was called the Sword Forging Lake. The lake's water was very cold, and it was good for quenching swords. Naturally, this lake was even more famous because no matter how much rain there was, or how much water there was upstream, the lake's water level never rose. There was also no flood. This was the most important thing about this lake.
Now Zhao Hai knew why the lake's water level didn't rise. This was because the lake had an exit. In addition to the river above the lake, there was also an underground river. And the river that entered the lake also entered the underground river. Because of this, the lake's water level was very cold and didn't rise.
After looking at the lake's situation, Zhao Hai finally felt relieved. If this underground river was upstream, then it would be troublesome for him to take the water. This was because if he took the water away, then it would cause the lake's water level to drop. If that happened, then it would be discovered by others, which wouldn't be a good thing.
But in this case, the underground river that he wanted to take water from was downstream of the lake. In other words, no matter how much water he took, it wouldn't affect the lake's water level. This was what Zhao Hai wanted to see the most.
Now he only needed to confirm one thing, and that was where the river's water flowed to. If the river's water still appeared on the surface, then the people who used it would be affected. Because of this, he needed to confirm the direction of the water before he could use it.
Zhao Hai followed the underground river and swam downstream. After a few days, Zhao Hai suddenly felt as if he had entered the sea. He looked around and discovered that he had entered a huge underground lake. This lake was really big, it looked bigger than any lake Zhao Hai had ever seen. Zhao Hai looked at the lake's situation again. In the end, he discovered that the lake had an exit. However, the exit was only one-tenth of the water entering the lake. This was also the reason why the lake was so big.
Then Zhao Hai swam into the lake's exit. In the end, he really swam into the sea. Along the way, he was underground. In other words, this underground river was completely underground. There was no water source underground, so he could safely use the river's water.
However, this didn't make Zhao Hai satisfied. What he wanted to do now was to turn the underground water into surface water. Zhao Hai finally thought of a way, which was to open a spring, a very big spring. At the same time, he would set up a magic formation in the underground lake. Ninety percent of the water in the underground lake would be directed to the surface while the remaining ten percent would be directed to the river. This way, the amount of water in the underground lake wouldn't decrease, but there would be a lot of water on the surface.
Naturally, it wasn't just directing the water to the surface. If there was no exit on the surface, then the water would slowly form a river and flow out of the Destruction Desert. Because of this, what Zhao Hai wanted to do now was not only to form a river on the surface, but also to return the water to the people in the underground river. However, this water would have to form a lake on the surface.
This was a big project, and it wasn't easy to do it. This was especially true in the Destruction Desert. One must know that the sand didn't contain water. Fortunately, Zhao Hai found the ruins of a city on the surface. There were a lot of stones there that could be used.
After thinking about it, Zhao Hai immediately began to refine magic formations in the Space. Water attribute magic formations, energy gathering formations, and so on were all necessary. Moreover, these magic formations couldn't be too small. After all, these magic formations needed to send the water to the surface. If the magic formation was too small, then its power wouldn't be enough. In that case, the water wouldn't be able to be sent to the surface.
Another important point was that in the process of the water flowing to the surface, a large part of it would flow through the sand. During this process, if the water really flowed into the sand, it would be very troublesome.
In the end, Zhao Hai thought of a way. He wanted to use stones to form a waterway. Then he would arrange a magic formation in the waterway and lead the water all the way to the surface. Then he would dig a hole in the ground and let the water flow into the hole, forming a large lake. Then from the lake, the water would be diverted to the place where Zhao Hai wanted to establish Vegetable City. This would allow Vegetable City to have a rich water network. Finally, the water would return to the lake and then return to the surface, forming a cycle.
If he didn't have the stones from the abandoned city, then it would be impossible for Zhao Hai to do all of this. But with the stones, he could complete his plan. In this terrifying desert, he would be able to establish his own paradise, an oasis in the desert!
After thinking about it, Zhao Hai immediately went to the abandoned city to get the stones. Fortunately, he now had Natural Energy. At the same time, he also had the Space to store things. Therefore, it was very easy for him to get the stones. Zhao Hai began to take the stones one by one and put them into the Space.
Just taking the stones took Zhao Hai nearly a month. Then he used the stones to build the waterway. In total, he needed to build two waterways, one for the incoming water and the other for the outgoing water.
Fortunately, these two waterways didn't need to be too long, only about a hundred meters long. This distance was very easy for Zhao Hai. After ten days, the waterways were completed.
