BXBX NOVEL Chapter 393 - 366: How Ordinary is Ordinary
With the establishment of the Hidden Spirit Academy, the only changes were the loss of freedom for Xu Yuexian and a slight increase in Pu Tao’s daily computing power, probably as much as a drop in the ocean.
The Steel Great Wall had just been completed when a large number of the Demon Clan flooded out from the newly appearing natural channel between the two realms.
A 100-meter-long light curtain displayed real-time projections of the Hundred Thousand Li Giant Lake and the entire surrounding area within a range of a hundred thousand miles.
“The initial arrangement is largely completed, and what’s left is to strengthen the defense and prepare to accept the mortals protected by the other Sects within the scope of Linsen Immortal City,” said Xu Fan, rubbing his chin.
In the entire light curtain, three-fifths of the area was marked in light red, with countless red dots scattered. Each red dot represented a Demon Clan detected by Pu Tao.
Outside the Steel Great Wall, at least tens of millions of red dots were wandering around, occasionally attacking the Steel Great Wall.
Watching the attacks on the Steel Great Wall, Xu Fan rubbed his chin and said, “It seems like we don’t have enough combat puppets,”
“Although the average combat power of the opponents is at the Nascent Soul stage,”
“Pu Tao, speed up the production of God Transformation Stage puppets and set up ten more production lines,”
“Don’t be stingy with the computing power. I’ll add more servers for you later,” said Xu Fan.
“Yes, Sir.”
“According to the time, Brother Ning should be coming soon,” said Xu Fan with a smile.
At this moment, Ning Dao was standing in shock in front of the Steel Great Wall, murmuring, “In such a short time, they’ve sealed the entire Hundred Thousand Li Giant Lake and the coastal area!”
Just a few months ago, when Xu Fan had told him about the plan to shelter mortals, the construction of the Steel Great Wall had already begun.
Ning Dao never expected that in just a few short months, such a magnificent and solid defense line would be established.
Xu Fan greeted Ning Dao at the Hidden Spirit Sect.
“Brother Ning, just speak your mind. There’s no need for formalities between us,” said Xu Fan, as if he had predicted that Ning Dao would come.
“Yesterday, three minor Sects within the Linsen Celestial City were annihilated by the Demon Clan, slaughtering more than 300 million mortals,” said Ning Dao through gritted teeth.
“Even if I had sent those puppets and Heavenly Patrol Satellites to those sects, it would have been in vain. Now only your Hidden Spirit Sect can defend against the Demon Clan,”
“I understand what you mean, Brother Ning. Relocate the mortals from those Sects to the inside of the Steel Great Wall, and Pu Tao will arrange it,” said Xu Fan. When the Steel Great Wall was first built, these factors were taken into account.
“Moreover, I want to move the Linsen Immortal City to the front of the Steel Great Wall, and the Elder’s Association will provide the funds to circle another ten thousand miles around to the inland side of the Steel Great Wall,” said Ning Dao.
“You can move the Immortal City?” Xu Fan asked, as he hadn’t found this feature in the array on the wall of Linsen Immortal City.
“I’ll ask the elders to use the Cave Sky Immortal Artifact to move the Linsen Immortal City over,”
“From now on, the outer defensive line will be jointly defended by the Hidden Spirit Sect and the Elder’s Association’s Linsen Immortal City,” said Ning Dao.
Xu Fan’s eyes lit up, and it seemed that this proposal could work.
A huge light curtain appeared in front of the two, and Xu Fan then circled another red line outside the Steel Great Wall, which just circled the inner Steel Wall.
“In doing so, our Sect’s reserves of Spirit Iron will be greatly depleted,” said Xu Fan.
“How much Spirit Iron do you need? I’ll cover it all,” Ning Dao said, thinking it was some precious material.
“Brother Ning, it’s not a matter of thousands of pounds,” said Xu Fan.
“The Elders Association has no quota limit for basic Spirit ores like Spirit Iron, as long as they are used reasonably,” Ning Dao said, adding that this was the reason why he took on the responsibility without hesitation when he heard about Spirit Iron.
“”So there’s no limit on Fire Spirit Copper, Hundred Tenacity Steel, Meteoric Iron, or Wood Spirit Carbon?” Xu Fan instantly thought of many things.
It’s no wonder they collect from the entire Central Continent’s Elders Association, they’re really fucking rich.
“Only the lowest quality of Meteoric Iron, no restrictions on the others.” Ning Dao thought for a moment and said, these basic spirit ores were not even worth glancing at before.
“But there should be a reasonable reason for using it. After a large amount of use, people from the headquarters will come to inspect.”
“Haha, isn’t that simple?”
“Pu Tao, prepare a comprehensive plan for Brother Ning. Our enhanced version of the Steel Great Wall can be produced.” Xu Fan said with an excited tone.
After a short while, a puppet sent over a Jade Slip and handed it to Ning Dao.
“My god, your plan is so detailed, you even included the construction method of the Steel Great Wall. Amazing!”
Ning Dao took out a small formation plate, set up a small teleportation array, and put the Jade Slip on it.
“Once Brother Ning’s spirit ores arrive, my tens of millions of tool puppets can get back to work.” Xu Fan said with a smile.
At this time, Ning Dao’s communication device rang.
“The headquarters agreed, all resources for the Spirit Mine will be provided, but at least four hundred billion mortals’ normal lives must be protected in Linsen Immortal City.” Ning Dao said with a frown, it turns out that the standard given by the Elders Association was three hundred billion mortals for each Immortal City.
“It’s a bit rushed, but using the small world above the Hundred-Thousand-Li Giant Lake will be just enough.” Xu Fan thought for a moment and said.
“There is also a small world in Linsen Immortal City, which was used for planting spirit trees before. You can use it now.” Ning Dao said.
“Then there’s no problem.” Xu Fan said with a smile.
Half a month later, an Invincible Venerable from the Elders Association moved the entirety of Linsen Immortal City using a Cave Sky Immortal Artifact, and it was located three thousand kilometers outside the Steel Great Wall.
Countless cultivators emerged from the Immortal City, starting to clear the surrounding Demon Clans.
At the same time, tens of millions of infrastructure puppets began working from both ends, building towards the predetermined location in the middle.
Thousands of magical puppets jointly cast spells, forming a trench ten thousand meters long and a hundred meters deep. Next, a massive puppet carried a smelting furnace containing pre-measured spirit iron and steel mixture and poured it in.
After the trench was filled with molten steel, huge puppets carrying pre-forged and carved Steel Great Wall modules settled them into the trench. Under the influence of formations, they integrated as one.
Surrounding the infrastructure puppets, combat puppets guarded, occasionally clashing with the Demons that harassed them.
In just one day, the Steel Great Wall on both sides reached five thousand kilometers.
Ning Dao watched the progress of the puppets building the Steel Great Wall, his jaw dropped in amazement.
“Awesome!” He didn’t expect these puppets to have such a shocking function apart from combat.
“Are these puppets all controlled by Pu Tao?” Ning Dao asked.
“That’s right, Pu Tao’s avatar is controlling these puppets.” Xu Fan controlled the puppets and said, it was impossible for the true body to come out; only avatars or puppets could be used.
“The Steel Great Wall is expected to be completed within a month. Then, ordinary demon clans won’t be able to damage the Steel Great Wall.” Xu Fan confidently said.
“How ordinary are the ordinary ones?” Ning Dao asked curiously.
“Demons in the Void Refining Stage, after all, there aren’t many integration stage demons, those at the Tribulation Passage stage dare not come out, and there’s no need for the demon venerables in the Mahayana period, they can directly target people.” Xu Fan said with a smile.
