Tang Yu took out an unfolded flying crane puppet from the spatial ring. It appeared and immediately spread its wings, flew high into the sky.
The higher it flew, the slower it became.
When it reached a height of about a thousand meters, the flying crane puppet became very sluggish in flapping its wings and could not continue to fly upward.
Tang Yu also flew upward for some distance and then unfolded his personal domain, and the next moment, the perspective changed. He possessed the flying crane puppet just like the Nightmare Puppet, and he immediately knew what happened up there…
The suppressive force coming from all directions made it very difficult for him to raise his hand…wings.
“Six hundred meters up, and the force of suppression began to appear. From the degree of progression, the Awakening Order Great Perfection should be able to fly to fifteen hundred meters, but the Mortal Order could at least reach two thousand meters…… and that should be the limit of this space.”
Tang Yu brought out the destroyer puppet next. After activating it, the thick barrel on its chest glowed up and shot out countless light particles. Each of those particles then converged into one massive beam of light, which shot out more than a hundred meters away and disappeared without a trace.
The corners of his mouth could not help but twitch, “the main cannon of this destroyer puppet should have a range of thousands of meters!”
He once again looked around, but still, there was no other present, including the Nishimura that came in earlier, “It looks like he should have passed through another pillar of light and returned to the outside world.”
Unlike the secret realm …… there are several entrances within the Daxia Kingdom and even outside of it. However, after the collapse of the secret realm, the hunter who escaped would still appear near the original entrance and not elsewhere.
This is the rule of the secret realm itself.
Yet the pillars of light in space at this time were more like teleportation arrays, and Tang Yu found several other pillars of light that, after passing through, appeared elsewhere in the Daxia Kingdom, and in one case, even located near Lin Dong.
“If this place is explored completely, won’t it be easy to reach any corner of the world?”
“No, it’s not that simple, after exploring for more than two hours, only five’ entrance and exit’ pillars of light have appeared, and the distance between each pillar of light is also very far, and there is no way even to locate our whereabout…… we need to carefully check each and every exit or entrance that this realm has.”
It took more than two hours to explore a corner of this space. For the rest of the area, Tang Yu was naturally not interested in personally exploring it. They need multiple people to effectively sweep this area and record all of its entrances and exit.
……
After Tang Yu and Kong got back to the territory of Yongan, the raid on the battle between Yongan Territory and the Sakura Kingdom was over.
In this battle, with the leader Nishimura fleeing and other warriors either dead or fleeing, the troops of the Heavenly Wolf Temple gradually lost their ability to resist Yongan’s advances, and in the end, excluding those who died and fled, they actually captured more than a thousand hunters of the Heavenly Wolf Palace.
The director of Yongan, Cui Xinsheng, with his interrogators, was prying out information from these captives.
Some of the survivors who the Heavenly Wolf Palace previously enslaved were also rescued …… These people were covered with whip marks, and many others were already dead. At one point, Tang Yu had the urge to interrogate these captives himself and brought some back to Tree Shade, but in the end, they were left to Yongan.
After dismantling the ship statues of several rune ships, Tang Yu activated the Back-to-city scroll and returned to the territory.
……
Territory, Institute.
Placed in front of him was a small ship statue obtained from an ordinary rune ship.
This time, the operation against the Heavenly Wolf Palace was also considered to be a cooperation with Yongan, without the legions of Yongan shelter. If only Kong and three hundred people attacked the Sakura Kingdom army, they would not be able to demolish their entire army and even take control of their ships.
Therefore, Tang Yu naturally did not have the intention to take the spoils of war alone. He only took the most desired ship statue and the largest flagship as a trophy, and other rune ships were left to Yongan.
The ship itself did not pique his interest, and the technical content was far less than his airplane.
But the ship statue….
“There is a strange fluctuation radiating from time to time on this. This statue should contain the unique aura of the sea spirit.”
Tang Yu pondered, “spirits born of heaven and earth, had a natural affinity towards their respective elements……”
He remembered that when he first met Zhen, the spirit deity of Mirage Mountain, he only wanted to abduct Zhen to the territory and act as a gatekeeper due to its strong affinity with the earth element.
And spirits … basically have a mortal-level strength. The sea beasts perceived this aura and avoided it.
Which made the Sakura Kingdom’s voyage unimpeded.
“However, the unique fluctuation of the ship statue should be useless against the demonic beasts. During the long journey to the Heavenly Wolf Palace, one of the rune ships seemed to be attacked by powerful demonic beasts and thus sank.”
After studying for a while, Tang Yu focused on the strange fluctuations scattered by the ship statue and recorded it, “spirits are difficult to find, unless they appear, or even with mortal level perception to find even one is a miracle …… However, if you can create an instrument that can capture the fluctuations of the spirits, perhaps in the future, the search for spirits will be much easier.”
……
Two days later, the situation in that space inside the Gate of Light had been scouted out.
Tang Yu sat in his study, reading the information presented after the scouting corps had summarized.
At present, the area of the space that has been explored was nearly comparable to a Tiannan Province, a total of sixty-five light green pillars, of which twenty-one were connected outside of Daxia, the rest were inside the territory of Daxia.
Although they found some traces of humans left behind during their exploration, they did not find any survivors. Most of the entrances and exits were very secretive, and there were large and small light doors. The smallest light door wasn’t fit for humans, and they promptly used the Bumblebee Puppet to explore some information about the outside world.
At the end of the Bumblebee Puppet exploration range, there was a barrier which it could not pass through. It was transparent, you could see the opposite scene, and they were inside the barrier.
Outside the barrier, there was also a light green pillar of light …… but it was shrouded by fog and could not be seen except for its faint green hue.
……
The latter was full of some speculation.
Tang Yu held his chin, pondered for a while before deciding to … ask someone knowledgeable.
……
Back Mountain.
Using his sense of the territory, Tang Yu quickly found Zhen.
At this moment, Zhen was sitting on a rock. He propped his hands on his chin as if he was thinking about humans… and the life of the spirit.
A few days had passed, the illusory body of Zhen had become more solid, angular, and very much like a person, except that it was still earthy yellow.
Tang Yu looked twice and suddenly felt that Zhen’s appearance seemed somewhat familiar to….
— Himself!
‘Huh, he must have chosen that appearance because I’m handsome!’
“Zhen, how is it going? This mountain is suitable for living, right?”
“Well, well, it’s very comfortable here.” Zhen stretched, “And the closer it is to your castle, the more comfortable it is to live in.”
He thought about it and gathered earth source power to form an illusory model of a mountain range and drew a few lines on it.
“This is my own interpretation of this territory. The more inward, the better the environment. I guess your castle must be the most comfortable to live in, but the most I can do is move to the next mountain wall.”
Tang Yu was initially a little confused, and when he saw the dividing line drawn by the spirit, his eyes suddenly lit up.
‘Isn’t this… the range of each territorial upgrade?!’
The castle was the first ring, while the place where Zhen currently lived was the second ring, and behind it, there were the third ring, fourth ring, fifth ring, and sixth ring, and further out, there was a part of the mountain that was not enveloped by the territorial range.
At first, he thought that the territorial range was the same, but now it seems that there was a difference.
“It shouldn’t be… the territorial range has the same functions, and it’s not like the further away from the core, the weaker the control if I have to say, it’s just that these areas of the second ring and third ring were included in the territorial range earlier.”
“Hmm? Earlier?”
Tang Yu was stunned. “Besides being more comfortable to live in, the second ring and third ring…I mean these areas in the inner circle and the outer circle. Is there any obvious difference?”
Zhen pondered for a moment, “the Source Qi is denser? No, it shouldn’t have anything to do with that. It occurred to me that the rocks in the inner ring are stronger, the soil is more fertile, and the soil quality is improving regardless of the inner ring and outer ring …… It’s like, well, the whole mountain is slowly upgrading.”
“Fascinating ……”
After that, Zhen shot out two balls of light which flew to the junction of the second and third rings.
He threw one ball on the left side and the other on the right side.
The two balls of source power light burst, exploding the ground into a deep crater of one or two meters in diameter.
“These two balls of light, their power are the same,” Zhen said.
Tang Yu stared and saw that the crater in the second ring of the ground on the left side was significantly smaller than the third ring by twice the size. He perceived that the destructive power of the high-density source power light ball was limited, and the explosive power seemed to have weakened quite a bit.
‘In that case ……’
‘If the territory continues to transform, then one day, perhaps even a great war would not be able to destroy a blade of grass and trees here?’
‘Wouldn’t it become an immortal world?’
‘When the time comes, the grass, wood, earth, and stone here will also become the best materials?’
‘What’s the point of having a mine at home? This territory is mine, mine alone!’
