West-to-East Power Transmission

A week later, an enormous High Tower rose in Jinxia City.

The tower's foundation was a Spirit Tree—under the Elves' catalysis, it changed almost daily, quickly growing to nearly ten zhang tall and two zhang thick. Though it was still a newborn compared to the Spirit Tree Core aboard the Tree Boat, it had already become the tallest "building" in Jinxia City.

A circular staircase had been built around the tower, allowing people to climb to the top of the great tree. Its crown bore no branches, only a bare platform. This was also why Xia Fan had chosen the Spirit Tree Seed for the tower's foundation—it was far stronger than any wooden structure, its shape could be determined according to its cultivator's wishes, and it required no maintenance for life. It was perfectly suited to serve as the "scaffold" for an Energy-Gathering Tower.

Atop the platform sat the Talisman modules transported from the Escape Tower.

They had been assembled in orderly fashion into a regular hexahedron. When it operated, it resembled an emerald suspended in midair. This was no exaggeration: the receiver truly did not touch the ground, and with the soft green glow emitted while the Talismans charged, it genuinely possessed something of an immortal artifact's aura.

In Thought Control's words, any unnecessary contact would affect the artifact's operation, so it was better to expend a little energy and suspend it through magnetic levitation.

It had to be said that this High Tower possessed a unique charm.

The citizens of Jinxia did not understand what cyber or punk meant, but they could clearly sense that
