Arriving at Yishuaoken
Watching the two playfully bickering, Yuan Chen shook his head, not paying much attention.
However, he secretly kept in mind Viktor's theory of consciousness backup.
Although through extensive reading, Yuan Chen gained some understanding of demons and the spiritual realm.
However, to this day, no perfect countermeasures have been mastered.
While Viktor's theory is somewhat unconventional...
However, it must be said that this is theoretically highly feasible.
As they were thinking, Yuan Chen and the others' convoy officially returned to Ixialia.
To outsiders, Ixialia to be enveloped by a dense forest, but in reality, these thick, sturdy vines are all man-made.
This is also part of the Concealment Spell.
This physical barrier made it very difficult for the non -Yixialian to enter.
Even intentional destruction of these vines is futile, because in order to isolate themselves from the outside world, Ixialia has a special profession called "gardeners".
These gardeners are not servants kept by nobles in the outside world, nor are they road cleaners. Rather, they are magical guardians who maintain the integrity of the Vine Wall and the dense forest.
Sure enough, as we officially entered Ixialia, several gardeners were still standing on the tall vine-covered walls, waving their arms.
Using the kilometer rings in their hands as a medium, their magic traced emerald green arcs in the air.
By fine-tuning these trajectories, the thick, sturdy vines, like twisting pythons, made way for the convoy.
Upon noticing that this marvelous creation of nature Ixialia, Jayce, who had originally intended to remove Viktor's mask, froze in place, staring solemnly at everything that came into view.
Located in this mysterious realm, which has been untouched by outsiders for thousands of years except for Yuan Chen, the craftsmen of Hextech, as well as the scholars of the Archaeological Society and the Explorers' Society, all showed great enthusiasm.
Holding notebooks, they followed the convoy, stopping and starting along the way to write and draw, their eyes filled with a longing for the unknown.
It's a pity.
Yuan Chen didn't give them much time. He simply packed their belongings, and then the convoy set off again for their destination Yishuaoken.
This practice of not giving scholars time to record their observations drew considerable criticism from some, but considering that they were on someone else's turf, they could only suppress their discontent.
Not just historians, but also Hextech makers like Jayce.
When I saw the towering Great Tower of Truth in the distance, I instinctively wanted to go inside and visit it, to find out how the Yixialian constructed such a huge, magnificent and exquisite building.
However, Yuan Chen had no choice but to leave them with no time to explore.
Dissatisfied, the group sped up on the fast lane.
Finally, after crossing the last mountain peak, they saw their destination, Yishuaoken.
The grandeur of Yishuaoken's work is difficult to express in words or images.
Putting aside others, even someone like Yuan Chen, who had lived in Yishuaoken for a long time, would still be awestruck by the man-made magnificence when he returned and saw the entirety of Yishuaoken.
Nestled among mountains, this colossal tower, even larger and more magnificent than the mountains themselves, stands majestically on a man-made plain.
The foundation of this white tower was constructed from heavy Elemental Stone.
The base, shaped like a perfect cube, rises along its four straight sides to form towering city walls.
With the flow of elements as the core, the four corridors are not just roads on the surface, but are deeply embedded in the entire earth and integrated with it.
Connecting roads from all directions, it starts from Yishuaoken and disappears into the distant plains and boundless mountains.
The sheer size of the mountain, stretching from one peak to the other, creates a sense of immense scale that can be overwhelming and suffocating.
These magical powers are transformed, generated, and transported in Yishuaoken.
Like a heart, Yishuaoken transported this vast amount of magic to every inch of Ixialia through the Veil Technique.
The four-tiered tower is not an engineering structure based on physics. In more areas, these Elemental Stones with excellent magical adaptability will transmit power to the entire earth through the precise division of the Yuan Chu Axiom.
Standing here, Jayce could feel an overwhelming pressure...
To be precise, it is a kind of energy. This energy will be deeply embedded in the Earth Axiom by the Yishuaoken, forming a whole with it on an energy level.
But this is something Jayce can't understand --
Because it allows such a massive city to be integrated with a continent.
Both physics and magic require an unimaginably large amount of energy to power them.
It is no exaggeration to say that such a massive amount of energy, if left uncontrolled, could cause the continents of Shurima and Valoran to lose at least one-third, or even one-half, of their land area.
"Oh my god..."
The accompanying painters, poets, and writers instinctively picked up their pens, wanting to do their utmost, either in their imagination or on the blank paper, to depict this magnificence.
But when they picked up their pens, they found that neither their own brushes nor any fancy words that came to mind could capture even a fraction of the awe-inspiring power and profound impact of this white tower rising from the mountains.
On the pristine, towering walls, geometric lines were outlined with gold threads and a solution of gemstones, connected by intricate Energy Pathway, each representing a form or principle of Elemental Magic.
Flames, Flowing Water, rocks, Magnetic Force...
These complex energies, through the Energy Pathway, continuously contribute to the energy cycle of Yishuaoken and the entire continental shelf.
If it were just one type, Jayce was confident that, given enough time, he would be able to replicate or imitate a similar energy circuit.
But now, looking at this crisscrossing, stable network of energy lines drawn from hundreds of elements and magic, all Jayce could feel was suffocation.
This is something that cannot be accomplished in one generation...
Yuan Chen was not surprised to see the visitors suddenly fall silent.
Because I was just as awestruck when I first came here...
Or rather, it was precisely because of the precedent set by Yishuaoken that Yuan Chen remained so indifferent when he saw the Sun Gate Bridge.
It's not that the Sun Gate is bad, it just seems a bit hastily made compared to others...
And... the Yixialian are still very concerned about their image.
Looking at the energy network surrounding Yishuaoken--
This wasn't there when I came.
Clearly, although he said he didn't care, King Yuen still wanted to show off to these country bumpkins from Piltover.
Thinking this, Yuan Chen coughed lightly to wake everyone, then said calmly:
Welcome to the Center of All Things.
