NOVEL WEB Chapter 1131: Tower of Life
This is a building still constructed with Five Element Ore, centered around the place where the Heart of Nature was previously planted. During construction, Tang San simultaneously engraved magic arrays on its surface. His speed was swift—Golden Body Variation was used to cut the ore, while the Spirit Rhinoceros Eye adjusted the Five Elements attributes. With assistance from the Ferocious Dragon, building such a palace wasn't particularly challenging.
After six hours, the outline of the palace was completed, and the colorful immortal aura atop the mountain dissipated as construction came to an end.
With the camouflage of divine energy removed, a circular palace came into view. From a bird's-eye view, one could see that the palace was actually ring-shaped. Faint light emanated from within, though it was still incomplete.
The palace stood about thirty meters tall. Compared to other Emperors' palaces, it wasn't remarkably grand. The palace blended seamlessly with the Blue Gold Holy Mountain below, exuding no external aura. The surface of the palace was carved with various runes resembling formations, though due to the veiling of faint Five Element light, their details weren't clearly visible.
From the Emperors' perspective, this hastily built Blue Gold Palace seemed rather simple, certainly incomparable to their Holy Mountain palaces. However, in terms of aura, the Blue Gold Palace that Tang San constructed seamlessly integrated with the Five Elements of the Liuli Heavenly Spirit Emperor's prior Blue Gold Holy Mountain without even a slight flaw, fully showcasing his capabilities.
As for why the building was circular and almost completely spread across the mountain's summit, this was easy to understand—the central space was reserved for constructing the Tower of Life!
Indeed, this proved to be the case. After a day's rest, Tang San resumed construction early the next morning. At the center of the Blue Gold Palace, the structure of a towering high tower began to rise. The speed of construction slowed significantly during this phase, as the materials used were Blue Gold Wood provided by the Blue Gold Tree Clan.
Blue Gold Wood, produced by different tiers of the Blue Gold Tree Clan, naturally varied in functionality due to differences in rank.
Thus, when constructing the Tower of Life, Tang San first had to meticulously classify and identify the various Blue Gold Wood materials before arranging them into harmonious combinations. This was the Life Tower of the Ancestral Court—no room for negligence was allowed.
The Ancestral Court provided another substantial allocation of resources, including gemstones imbued with various attributes and diverse precious natural treasures. These were all items listed on the inventory Tang San had given to the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox. That side acted generously without withholding anything, supplying materials that met Tang San's strict requirements both in quality and quantity.
While constructing the Tower of Life, Tang San also began setting up formations within the Blue Gold Palace. What he first arranged at the mountain's summit was referred to as the foundational grand array. The truly important arrays were laid inside the Blue Gold Palace.
Don't be fooled by the seemingly modest exterior of the Blue Gold Palace, lacking any extravagant design and appearing as nothing more than a plain metallic surface—in reality, the interior arrangements of the Blue Gold Palace were exceptionally sophisticated.
Initially, Tang San simply used Blue Gold Wood to create a roof over the ring-shaped palace structure before moving to the interior to carve magic arrays. The gemstones he demanded were primarily used for embedding into the arrays. This was an immense expenditure—even the wealthy Blue Gold Tree Clan couldn't supply everything, as some of these gemstones were monopolized by the Ancestral Court and couldn't be purchased simply with money.
As a result, the construction of the Blue Gold Palace appeared to progress somewhat slowly.
The interior build no longer needed assistance from the Ferocious Dragon, which coiled itself around the peak of Blue Gold Palace Mountain, silently guarding the site. Pretty Girl, meanwhile, assisted Tang San within the Blue Gold Palace.
One array after another was continuously drawn and embedded, transforming the interior of the Blue Gold Palace into something increasingly magnificent.
Pretty Girl worked alongside Tang San daily and gradually came to appreciate the immense effort he poured into constructing the arrays. The foremost challenge was ensuring balance among the various functions of these arrays, something Tang San emphasized as paramount. Only balanced arrays could remain stable and reliably perform their intended roles. Any trace of conflict could result in the proverbial "thousand-mile dam collapsing from a single ant hole." Even Tang San exerted extreme caution, inspecting each completed array meticulously with the Spirit Rhinoceros Eye.
Once the arrays inside the Blue Gold Palace were finished, Tang San then began constructing the Tower of Life, using the Blue Gold Palace as its base foundation.
The magic arrays within the Tower of Life were even more intricate, with each one completed to precise detail. The first layer alone took Tang San three entire days.
Upon completing the first layer of the Tower of Life, it stood level with the Blue Gold Palace, appearing to top the palace like a crown. When Tang San embedded the final gemstone, integrating it with the Blue Gold Wood base, an immensely concentrated surge of life energy instantly erupted skyward.
This life energy radiated a faint blue glow. As it burst forth from the Blue Gold Palace, it immediately shook the entire Ancestral Court.
The Emperors, with their vast divine consciousness, were the first to sense it. One by one, they emerged from their imperial palaces, intently gazing toward the direction of the Blue Gold Palace.
Rooted in the Five Elements and nurtured by the Two Qi of yin and yang, the Blue Gold Tree Clan's life aura, under Tang San's guidance, surged intensely, exploding upward and spilling forth uncontrollably.
Such potent life energy tinged the entire sky of the Ancestral Court in a faint blue hue. A gentle drizzle began to fall, infused with a refreshing fragrance. Bathed in these delicate rain droplets, regardless of race, all found themselves renewed as if undergoing a transformative rebirth, basking in the cleansing of life's essence. It seemed the Ancestral Court itself had gained an enchanting vibrancy.
The life aura, while extraordinarily dense, did not cover an extensive area. The closer one was to the Blue Gold Holy Mountain, the more concentrated the life aura became, shrouding the vicinity in a misty haze. Yet, this wasn't a meteorological phenomenon—it was the condensation of life vapor due to the overwhelming density of the life aura.
This wasn't solely derived from the Tree Ancestor Brand or the life energy of the Blue Gold Tree Clan enriched by the Two Qi of yin and yang. The principal energy source was the Heart of Nature. The Heart of Nature, formed from the ultimate condensation of energy within the entire plane—the Divine Realm's foundational essence—reacted to chaos aura stimulation. Under Tang San's control, it unleashed an immense power transformed through his filtration and conversion into life energy. This was life energy beneficial even to the Emperors!
Without investment, there can be no return. Tang San determined that constructing the Tower of Life must bring visible benefits to all Emperors. Only then would they continue their unwavering support of his endeavors.
Moreover, the first layer of the Tower of Life was the most critical, seamlessly linking the entire Blue Gold Holy Mountain, the Blue Gold Palace foundation, and ensuring perpetual life energy output from the Heart of Nature into the Tower of Life. Completing this vital step made subsequent construction significantly easier.
At this moment, Tang San and Pretty Girl sat cross-legged at the central point of the first layer of the Tower of Life, silently absorbing the immense life energy birthed within. Such abundance of life energy couldn't directly enhance their cultivation base; rather, it nourished their physiques, elevating their Life rank and extending their longevity. Its latent benefits were manifold. For individuals like them, endowed with multiple bloodline abilities, conflicts between their bloodlines were always a concern. Immense life energy served as the best method for harmonization and correction.
