The Holy Realm Qualification Selection lasted for a few hours, and the Holy City exploration took another few hours. By the time Tang Yu used the Return Scroll to strategically retreat, the sky began to turn yellow.
All of them had injuries of varying severity.
For Nancy and Elaine, their injuries were not serious. With their extraordinary vitality, it would only take them one day to recover to their peak state, even if they did nothing.
Gray Blade was the one with the heaviest injuries.
He had just made a breakthrough and hadn't had the time to familiarize himself with the various powers of the Transcendent rank. His combat strength was the weakest among them … At this moment, his aura was weak, and his body was covered in blood. His left arm had even been chopped off.
With such injuries, even if he had extraordinary recovery abilities and wouldn't die, he wouldn't be able to recover on his own without a few months.
In particular, it would take a lot of time to get rid of the corrosive superpower inside his body. If he couldn't retrieve his severed arm, he would only end up as a cripple. He wouldn't be able to recover it until he reached Transcendent Rank-2 and formed the Indestructible Body.
But the Tree Shade already had a mature treatment method.
Winnie hadn't yet stepped into the realm of transcendence, but with the help of the corresponding healing array, her already abundant female energy was increased dozens of times. She also taught many people who had the talent to cast healing spells. The Tree Shade's healing team began to take shape. With the cooperation of the Spell Research Institute and modern medicine, they developed a series of more popular spells such as "Skillful Suture", "Pain Relief", and "Debridement". Even if they didn't have the talent to heal, they could learn and master these spells.
Combined with the medicine, it was enough to regenerate severed limbs.
Gray Blade wasn't worried. When he was carried on the stretcher, he tilted his head, looked at Tang Yu, and tentatively said, "I'm injured this time. I might have to take a … two months off. I can't take care of the intelligence work during this time. I have to hand it over to … Lorraine. Yes, it's no problem to hand it over to her!"
The Lord raised his head slightly, his eyes lifeless as he looked at him expressionlessly.
It was like saying, "Don't you have any idea how long it will take for you to recover from this injury?"
Gray Blade was just a little bit.
With the help of the medical department, he would only need ten days, no, eight days … no, five to six days to fully recover.
However, Gray Blade only wanted to slack off … no, cultivate!
Back then, his strength was on par with Elaine's, and his aptitude wasn't bad either. But now, he was more than a level behind, and he might not even be able to defeat a Lord!
He couldn't afford to lose face like this!
He wanted to work hard, he wanted to be strong!
As for going to work, he would wait until he had spent all his spirit stones.
Their eyes met for two seconds, and Gray Blade's body twitched violently. "Ah, I … I'm hurt … too badly."
His head tilted to one side as if he had fainted.
Tang Yu: "…"
Elaine: "…"
Hong Yue was speechless. She really wanted to take some blood for an experiment.
The Awakened carrying the stretcher: "… …" Should they carry the stretcher away or not?
…
The dim yellow light gradually disappeared at the end of the horizon.
Tang Yu rubbed his swollen head as if there were countless bells ringing.
He really wanted to take a nap, but he knew very well that right now, he had very little mental energy, but he was very active, like countless particles colliding everywhere in his brain.
He sighed and walked out of the Castle District.
Walking on the path paved with gravel, the fragrance of flowers and grass assailed his nostrils.
It was very quiet here. The villas on both sides were no longer rented or sold. There was only a source power lamp, the light was dim.
The inner city wall was 20 meters high, not bad. But now, it was more symbolic. Even the outer city wall, under the rapid development of the Tree Shade, couldn't play the main role of defense. They couldn't wait for the demonic wave to attack and then clean up the demonic beasts.
Walking out of the inner city wall, the world suddenly became noisy.
The world under the mountain was lined with tall buildings, bright lights, pedestrians walking through the streets, and carriages non-stop.
This was the Tree Shade, the world he created from the ruins.
There was no need to worry about the threat of demonic beasts. There were no slums. As long as they worked hard, they could live a decent life. The elderly and children, in this cold winter, could also be filled with a sincere smile.
A great sense of accomplishment filled his heart.
Unknowingly, he had become so great.
Tang Yu was filled with emotion.
The thoughts in his heart were also firmer.
… …
Standing on the edge of the hillside, he leaped. Wherever he passed, the air under his feet solidified like hard bricks. His feet stepped in the air as if he was stepping on the ground.
Flying was prohibited above the Tree Shade, so it naturally had no binding force on him.
Taking advantage of the dim sky and not attracting attention, Tang Yu took a shortcut and soon arrived at the area where the Moonlight Waterfall was located. There was a hundred-man garrison battalion stationed here, and they had pulled up a warning line to prevent idlers from entering.
Tang Yu nodded slightly to the garrison captain and went straight to the Moonlight Waterfall.
It was different from what he saw in the Holy City.
The huge waterfall, which was nearly a hundred meters wide, poured down from a thousand meters in the sky. Water splashed everywhere, and the mist was dense, blocking one's vision. It was hazy, like a fairyland, but it also gave off an indescribable feeling of shock.
The repaired Moonlight Waterfall already had some of its original functions. Quenching source power was no longer based on the width of the waterfall, but under the entire waterfall. The quenching effect was progressive, and the difficulty was increased in turn, allowing the quencher to choose the most suitable level for themselves.
Tang Yu stepped on the stone slabs and walked in. The water splashed on his face, itching.
Soon, he came under the waterfall. The surging impact went straight down from the top of his head, and the calm source qi pond in his body rippled.
His expression didn't change as he stepped on the stone slabs on the water and walked forward step by step. With each step, the stone slabs under his feet lit up with runes. As his feet left, the runes converged again.
Gradually, the pressure became greater and greater. The source qi pond in his body was like a turbulent sea, tumbling non-stop.
In the Holy City, the source power quenching effect of the unrepaired Moonlight Waterfall was negligible to him. However, at this time, he only walked one-third of the way, and the huge pressure made him breathless, unable to take another step forward. The source power had automatically operated at a high speed, and the quenching effect was excellent. It should be noted that the quality of his source power had far exceeded the same level.
It was not in vain that I spent so much to bring back the Moonlight Waterfall.
Tang Yu exited the quenching state and muttered, "Most of the Moonlight Waterfall is still damaged. Some materials can be exchanged with the Norland, or even the Ancientspirit Royal Family, and other forces. But at most, it can only be repaired a little."
It wasn't difficult to exchange materials. Not long ago, he sold the good guy card, allowing most of the transcendents to successfully escape. It's not like he was freeloading. These big forces wouldn't refuse him.
What he was worried about was that the top forces on Earth also lacked the materials to repair the Moonlight Waterfall.
And this possibility was very high.
Now that the Origin Star had just recovered, the minerals, plants, and exotic materials couldn't be compared to its heyday. And as far as he knew, not all materials could be found on the Origin Star. Some of them came from outside the Origin Star.
"I should be able to find some rare materials on the broken star path. Maybe I should start from a different planet?"
Tang Yu remembered the teleportation array found in the 2269 station. It was still being deciphered. There were still some things he didn't understand about the teleportation array in the territory.
"Forget it. The most important thing now is to list the urgently needed materials and let Old Chen contact the Norland to trade. But the Norland and other transcendents are still in Australia. I don't know when they will return to their respective territories."
Thinking of this, Tang Yu felt he had forgotten something.
It didn't seem very important. He shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
…
Australia.
It was a dark night.
A meteor whizzed across the sky. Not long after, two more blazing light balls chased after it. The source power bombardment shot out like a laser, falling on the ground, the top of the mountain, or exploding in the air.
The rumbling sound resounded.
Yan Dingtian's mind was fully focused on the transcendent force field, propelling himself to fly at full speed.
The Return Scroll on his body was ready to be activated at any time. But he hesitated.
"If I escape too early, people might think I'm not strong enough. But as long as I drag the time, I can return to the city. I can say that I fought one against two or three, and still fought for a long time before retreating."
Yan Dingtian secretly thought, "In this way, it can be counted as a good record, right?"
But he was struggling with the length of time to buy.
It's not uncommon for a transcendent battle to last for three days and three nights.
And at this time, only one or two hours had passed.
"Keep it up!"
Old Yan cheered himself up, looked back at the two pursuing transcendents, wrapped his whole body in the force field, and shot towards the unknown distance.
…
…
The next day.
Tang Yu came to the second return point to check the cultivation treasures that were packed up and brought back.
There were Source Power Pool, Land of Inheritance, Trial Field, and so on. The small ones were only the size of a room, and the large ones were like small rugged mounds, very conspicuous. They were all piled up around the return point. He didn't have time to place them.
Or rather, he lacked spirit stones to place them.
The Moonlight Waterfall's placement and repair costs cost more than 10 million spirit stones. A level 6 territory could be upgraded several times.
More than half of the crystal vault was emptied at once. Tang Yu had to slow down.
He waited for a few days.
The territory's profits were quite high at the moment. The sales of equipment, items, medicines, dojo classes, training camp facilities, rental and sale of houses, income from trains and airships, business taxes from the shelter, commissions from the adventurer's guild, etc.
Each of them was a hegemon-level industry. In total, the territory's daily income of pure Source Crystals was more than a million. Of course, the expenditure was also not small. The defensive buildings, the various corps, the various departments, and other maintenance projects … all in all, the net income was more than 600,000 Source Crystals.
One day's net income was equivalent to half a month's net income of ordinary large shelters.
And it wasn't a big deal.
Tang Yu wondered if he should do some more business with the Norland, or open up a few more leek fields?
The Land of Inheritance was similar to the tavern. The core should be the internal Inheritance Crystal. It's just that he was in a hurry in the Holy City and didn't have time to dismantle it, so he directly moved the entire Land of Inheritance back.
"This doesn't need to be repaired. I'll try these inheritances when I have time. Maybe I can inherit a set of professional inheritance equipment like Elaine. That stuff is better than extraordinary weapons. It can be stored in the soul and has growth potential."
The first treasure land was passed. Glancing at the tens of millions of spirit stones on the system panel, Tang Yu's eyes fell on the Source Power Pool, an important cultivation treasure land.
To be exact, a few … were violently dismantled when he was in the Holy City.
The Source Power Pool, which was originally a bit faulty, was directly hit hard.
Fortunately, when dismantling it, he asked for Kevin's opinion and avoided the core parts. He could dismantle it and put it back, and it could still be used.
He knew the role of the Source Power Pool. It consumed a lot of energy. In the future, the Moonlight Waterfall could be opened to the public to earn some extra money, but the Source Power Pool definitely couldn't.
It didn't cover a large area, so Tang Yu chose to place it near the No. 1 Cultivation Holy Land in the Back Mountain.
So he didn't have to run back and forth between the two places.
The next step was the daily miracle.
The old survivors were amazed, but they weren't surprised. Some people laughed and called the shelter the "Tree Shade of Miracles."
A large number of hunters who had just arrived at the shelter felt that they had bragging rights in the future after witnessing it.
The Source Power Pool was smaller than the Moonlight Waterfall, and the damage was lighter. It only cost 660 spirit stones.
After finishing his work, Tang Yu opened the system panel. Sure enough, he found that the telekinesis value under the Source Power Pool had risen a lot. It was already more than 1.2 million.
The increase in the resident population in the territory also increased the speed of the telekinesis value increase a lot.
He had guessed it.
Level 7 territory should be like level 4 territory, a threshold. Compared to now, there should be a big change.
The death of the demon's transcendent made the alien race once again become scattered. However, Tang Yu's heart was as clear as a mirror. The power of the alien race was still far beyond the human race. They were unlikely to unite all of them. But if two or three races united, their power was enough to threaten any of the top forces in the world.
This time, the Tree Shade was bound to enter the eyes of the alien race. Who knows when the alien race would attack.
He wanted to build the territory into a real shelter. No matter what danger came, he didn't want to lose a blade of grass, a tree, a flower, or a stone.
He didn't want to end up with a broken wall under his feet after repelling the alien race's transcendent.
He didn't want to one day have to break his tail to escape.
He urgently needed to upgrade.
In a short time, Winnie, Roger, and himself were expected to step into the transcendent realm.
And the territory upgrade, the local battle would have a greater advantage.
The telekinesis value had exceeded the requirement, but the territory compatibility was stuck in the upgrade condition.
"Huh … wait, the territory compatibility increased by 2.33%?"
Tang Yu remembered clearly, but he didn't seem to have done anything just now.
The territory compatibility was mysterious. There was no clear way to improve it. When he upgraded the level 5 territory, he was stuck for a long time.
He recalled.
What he did this morning, after all, was the placement of the source power pool.
Placement?
Wait!
When the source power pool rose into the air, his perspective was infinitely higher, as if he was looking at the whole territory from God's perspective.
It was similar to the profound feeling that he had comprehended when he had just leveled up.
He was very familiar with every inch of land within the territory. In this state, he could easily fabricate "custom buildings" anywhere. Compared to his normal state, his control over the territory had improved by many times.
"In other words …" Tang Yu looked at several "new special buildings" near the return point. His eyes were different. "If I enter the 'installation building' state a few more times, I'm likely to upgrade the compatibility to the required requirements for the upgrade."
But …
The demand for spirit stones was relatively large.
How to upgrade? Only by buying spirit stones!
