As early as after the matter of Dongting's expansion was concluded, the new province's name had already been changed to An Province. This was both to express some kind of new meaning, and also to express the continuation of the achievements of the predecessors.
The tall and majestic An Province's city platform towered majestically. The upper level seemed to be connected to the sky, while the long and towering An Mountain Range on the side seemed to have become a bluish-grey dam outside the city from afar. Its grandeur was completely overtaken by the large platform.
Moreover, Goddess Peak had already been included within it, and one could clearly see the figure of this lofty peak from anywhere in the city.
Zhang Yu looked around. Right now, the new province's construction had not yet been completely completed. If he wanted it to be completely completed, it would have to be delayed until the third year. However, many military related buildings and strongholds had already been built a step ahead of time.
Looking at the huge and sturdy platform and the jade-white city wall that was like a dam, its shape and construction were grand and majestic, making one unconsciously hold their breath.
If one looked at it from afar, it would make one's mind tremble, giving rise to a feeling of insignificance. However, this man-made object that used large amounts of metal and stone was full of a cold and hard feeling, yet it lacked a bit of warmth and vitality.
If this was only a stronghold purely for military use, then there was naturally no need to pay too much attention to it. However, the province was for people to live in. The Xuanfu in the middle was a place where cultivators lived. It paid particular attention to the harmony of heaven and man, the creation of all things. Naturally, it could not only be accompanied by metal and stone.
However, long before the construction of the province, he had already looked at the blueprint. In advance, he had left enough leeway, and now it was up to him to do the work.
He floated high in the sky and spread his qi. Within An Province's territory, an underground spring suddenly surged, and from this, a crystal clear lake was born. Other than this, several small lakes and wetlands were successively born in various corners of the city. Between them were channels that had already been built long ago and connected. Following the appearance of the lakes, vegetation also grew along with them.
He turned his gaze to look. There were twelve perfectly straight arched high corridors extending from the ridge of Mount An all the way to the top of the city platform. The top was flat and towering over the peak, and the bottom was a thousand zhang deep ravine. It was also vast and magnificent.
Following the flow of water from the city platform, it immediately overflowed from the canals on the side of the corridor, and then poured down from the slightly slanted jade corridor. Not long after, a magnificent waterfall appeared between An Mountain and the city platform. After the rumbling and surging river flowed down from one side, it entered a wide river channel that had been excavated beforehand. Looking from the sky, it was just like a jade belt that surrounded An Province.
He retracted his gaze and looked towards the center of the city. That was where Xuanfu was located. Because all of Tianxia's Xuanfu's provincial cities were first determined, then built around Xuanfu. Therefore, Xuanfu was almost complete now.
Only, even though the main body was completed, the inside and outside of Xuanfu still needed to carry out the carving of Dao talismans and a certain amount of formation restrictions. This needed to be done at the end.
He slowly floated down from the sky, landing on the highest spell platform in the center of Xuanfu. This place was so high that it was as if with a stretch of his hand, he could embrace the stars. That was why it was called the 'Star Platform'. This was also where Head Xuan was stationed.
He stood here with his sleeves behind his back, looking towards the boundless sky and boundless land to the east.
Perhaps it was because his cultivation advanced a level, or perhaps it was because of the eye imprint's ability, but he could feel a wave of invading Dongting that was currently coming over. Moreover, it was faintly connected to that ancient deity he had met once before.
His eyes flickered slightly. Since Zhou Zhi was already more or less complete, then the next step was to ask Xuanting to send an emissary to come and set up a restriction formation.
Once the restriction formation was set up, then Zhou Zhi would have protection. He wouldn't have to fear the other side's attack. However, he wouldn't wait for the other side to attack, but rather find a way to take the initiative to attack.
Thinking of this, he also observed the inner layer's influence on him.
He discovered that the world's destruction of his lifespan had been greatly reduced. This was because there was a strand of divine aura in the void that could feed back to him and maintain his perfection at any time.
However, it wasn't that there was no consumption here. The only difference was that it wasn't the body's origin energy that was being consumed here, but the divine aura of the void. The divine aura of the void was obviously an important medicine for the next step of a breakthrough, so it couldn't be consumed carelessly. Therefore, when a cultivator reached this step, it was actually more reliable to cultivate and accumulate in the upper layer.
With a shift of his thoughts, a whirlpool appeared in the sky above. He quickly withdrew from this place and returned to the upper layer. Then, he was transferred to the outer layer of the void.
He tried to sense it here. The Outer Evil of the Void was still harming him, but it was slightly weaker than before.
This was just as he had predicted before. As his cultivation improved, the influence of the Outer Evil of the Void would gradually decrease.
In fact, in theory, cultivators who had cultivated to the point where they could see each other and where Yin and Yang coexisted wouldn't be affected much by the Outer Evil of the Void.
However, no matter which force this kind of person was in, it was obvious that they had a high position and power. They wouldn't personally go into battle until the last moment. Moreover, they undoubtedly had more choices.
After knowing this situation, he already had a plan in his heart. With a wave of his sleeve, he melted a crack in the void and returned to the upper layer.
He called out and said, "Where's Daoist Ming Zhou?"
With a flash of light, Daoist Ming Zhou appeared in front of him. He first looked seriously at Zhang Yu, then bowed and said respectfully, "Shouzheng, what orders do you have?"
Zhang Yu handed over a talisman book and said, "The construction of the new continent in Dongting is almost completed. We need to set up a Forbidden Formation. I'll have to trouble you to hand over this book."
Daoist Ming Zhou bowed and received it. He said, "Ming Zhou will hand it over now."
At the same time, in the depths of the land east of Mount An, after the three members of the God Recovery Society left the divine hill, they followed Ipar's guidance and went to find Ipar's former servants and vassals.
According to the information that the God Recovery Society knew, Ipar had experienced at least two eras and was the clear ruler of the previous era.
In the previous era, the ruler of the inner layer of the land was the God of Faith. These God of Faith still existed today. However, according to the Ipar's records, these God of Faith were only their servants.
Because they sensed the arrival of the Great Silence, some Ipar felt that there was no way to resist, so they took the initiative to sleep.
As their servants, the God of Faith was very likely to be the ruler of the next era. Therefore, the Ipar gave them the responsibility to wake them up after the Great Silence.
The God of Faith obviously didn't want to have someone above them. Taking advantage of the Great Silence, they sealed the sleeping Ipar.
Some of the stronger God of Faith who benefited from the Great Silence even dragged some Ipar out of their sleeping place, dismembered them and suppressed them in different realms.
However, not all God of Faith were like this. There were some God of Faith loyal to Ipar who tried to wake up their original masters.
However, these God of Faith were obviously weaker in terms of strength. In the end, they were either destroyed or forced to hide in their God's Kingdom to sleep.
Now, the three of them were looking for these God of Faith loyal to Ipar. This was very easy. As long as Ipar's brand was still on them, then they could be found by the Light of Ipar.
In the past, they only needed to send their subordinates to look for these things. However, this time, they needed to look for them themselves.
After coming out of the Divine Hill, following the guidance of the Divine Light, they walked for more than a month and found a hidden God's Kingdom. They used the Divine Light of Ipar to open the door of the God's Kingdom. After they walked in, they saw a tall canyon with countless bones piled up on both sides of the mountain.
On both sides of the mountain, there were thick wooden stakes nailed to the mountain walls. In the middle, there was a long rope tied with rattan. More than a thousand complete human bones were connected side by side. Under the human bones, there was a leather drum that looked like a human head with long hair left on it.
Whenever the wind blew, these bones would collide with each other. When the lower limbs came in contact with the drum, they would be bounced up and then fall down again, making a strange sound. This kind of movement would become more and more intense as the drum bounced back. It looked like a row of skeletons dancing.
The golden masked man said in a deep voice, "Skeleton dance, this should be the Divine Kingdom of Chakawuri. That's right, this is one of the stronger God's Kingdoms under the Ipar."
The Divine Kingdom of Chakawuri was a bloody and barbaric God's Kingdom. It required brutality and cruelty to maintain its own divine power. It was not strange to see such a scene.
The copper masked woman looked around in disgust and said, "This is disgusting."
The golden masked man said, "No matter how barbaric they are, they are still the servants of Ipar. They can play a role in the war launched by Ipar."
The three of them led a group of followers forward along the canyon. After leaving the canyon, the scenery in front of them opened up. A relatively complete God's City appeared in front of them.
The green masked man looked at the dim talisman above the God's City and said, "We didn't have any contact with the Chakawuri before. How should we wake them up?"
The golden masked man said, "We just need to find the blood well and carry out a bloody ceremony."
Under his command, the many black-clothed followers dispersed and walked into the city. They quickly found a huge sacrificial pit full of skeletons in the center of the city. On the wall of the pit, there were monster skulls with their mouths wide open. There were still traces of blood flowing down from the skulls.
The golden masked man immediately ordered the bones in the pit to be cleaned up and prepared to start the ceremony.
In the next 20 days, he ordered his subordinates to move in thousands of natives from outside and drove them in. He made them kill each other at the bottom of the pit. Every once in a while, they would kill a spiritual creature and let its blood flow down from the monster's mouth.
As more and more sacrifices were made at the bottom of the pit, the blood at the bottom turned into steam and rose into the air. Then, a huge bloody rain fell. The dozens of dim talismans above the God's City were watered by this and suddenly became bright.
At the same time, a rumbling sound came from the sky. A deep and heavy voice sounded, "Awakening Chakawuri, I feel the aura of Ipar on you. Who are you?"
The golden-masked man stood up and said, "We are the emissaries of Iparr. We are here to awaken Iparr's servant and ask Chakawuri if he is willing to fulfill the divine pact before the Great Silence."
The voice suddenly became silent. After a long silence, it slowly said, "Messengers of Ipar, go back and tell Ipar that as long as Ipar is as strong as before, Chakawuri will fulfill the God's agreement."
