City of Lingyun
The Heavenly Spirit Mountain Range, the largest mountain range in the Heaven Dou Empire, is also arguably the most famous large mountain range in the Douluo Continent. ♜🍪 ♗😈
Located at its heart, Jialing Pass is a strategically vital location, a place of immense strategic importance, where one man could hold off ten thousand. It is also the site of the future divine battle in the original story.
It can be said that more than 80% of the mountains, large and small, within the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire are connected to the Heavenly Spirit Mountain Range, either as its branches or as branches of its branches.
Lingyun City, originally named Green Cloud Mountain, is located on the edge of a branch of the Heavenly Spirit Mountain Range.
A year ago, in the midsummer of the year 2616 of the Douluo Calendar, a group of extraordinary Soul Master arrived at Green Mountain Town at the foot of Green Cloud Mountain. They then recruited a large number of people and spent more than eight months building half a city around Green Cloud Mountain.
The once poor and dilapidated Green Mountain Town had all its buildings demolished, and the residents of the town and several surrounding villages were relocated to the new city to continue their lives.
Yu Xiaogang stood in front of Lingyun City, lost in thought, his mind filled with various information about the half-city before him.
As the eldest son of the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Xiaogang had specifically studied the geography of the Douluo Continent in detail.
In the extraordinary world of the Douluo Continent, where individual power ultimately rests with oneself, territorial maps are important, but not insignificant either. ♤🐍 😾♬
Having detailed maps for military campaigns, sieges, and other strategic operations is naturally much more efficient. However, if one side has a powerful expert at the Titled Douluo level, the actual strategic significance of any terrain, such as dense forests, high mountains, dangerous peaks, or deep valleys, will inevitably be greatly reduced.
Therefore, ordinary people cannot access, and even if they do, they may never use the map of the entire continent. People from powerful families Yu Xiaogang would not dare to say that everyone has one, after all, there are always those who do not like to study. But coincidentally, Yu Xiaogang, who had intended to leave home in his early years, happens to have one in his Storage Soul Tool at this time.
He took out the map, spread it out, and Yu Xiaogang focused his gaze on it.
From the map, the "Tianling Mountain Range" runs across the [Tian Dou Empire] from east to west, forming a "ㄈ" shape. The west side reaches directly to the seaside, and the "Hanhai City" stands on the branch, starting from the middle to the east end and gradually bordering the "Star Forest".
Using Jialing Pass, located at the center of the Heavenly Spirit Mountain Range, as a coordinate, the mountain range extending westward covers most of the territory of the Haagen-Dazs Kingdom. It can be said that this kingdom is almost a country built on mountains and valleys.
To the north of the Heavenly Spirit Mountain Range Jialing Pass is located, lies the heartland of the Heaven Dou Empire, to the south lies the Silves Kingdom, and further south is the Fasinuo Province.
These areas are all flat plains.
A river that traverses half the continent originates in the middle of the ' Heavenly Spirit Mountain Range ', flows through the border between the ' Silves Kingdom ' and the ' Haagen-Dazs Kingdom ', and splits into two branches when it approaches the ' Lima Plain ' of the ' Barak Kingdom ', eventually flowing westward into the ocean at the western end of the continent.
The Green Cloud Mountain where Yu Xiaogang is currently located, which can now be called "Lingyun City", is located exactly at the very center of the Douluo Continent.
The mountain is a thousand meters high, and behind it stretches a small mountain range for nearly twenty miles. In terms of location, it is situated between the Heaven Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire, and the Star Dou Great Forest.
In other words, Yu Xiaogang cannot fly. Otherwise, if he looked down from the sky, he would have discovered that deep behind Green Cloud Mountain, one mountain peak after another rises and falls, towering and majestic. Starting from Green Cloud Mountain, there are a total of seven peaks over 1,000 meters high. The deepest one is even surrounded by white clouds around its waist, making it impossible to see the true face of its summit.
"Young man, are you heading to the city?"
An old man's question woke Yu Xiaogang up. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw an old farmer driving a donkey cart.
Seeing Yu Xiaogang looking over, the old farmer grinned, revealing his yellow teeth. "If you're going to town, you can come up and sit down. I'll give you a ride—"
As he spoke, he gestured with the whip in his right hand toward the cart behind him.
Yu Xiaogang glanced at the baskets of fruits and vegetables on the truck, as well as some chickens, ducks, geese, and rabbits with their wings and legs bound, and immediately shook his head. "No need, I can walk by myself."
After speaking, he nodded to the old farmer as a greeting, and then walked towards the city gate a few kilometers away.
The old farmer didn't mind being rejected by Yu Xiaogang. He cracked his whip in the air, and with a crisp snap, the donkey pulling the cart seemed to feel pain on a psychological level. It let out a long, melodious note and trotted after Yu Xiaogang.
From a distance, one person strides ahead, while a donkey cart follows behind, its four hooves moving in unison, creating a strange sense of harmony.
Not long after, Yu Xiaogang, Two-Ring Grand Soul Master, arrived at the city gate first, never giving the donkey cart behind him a chance to overtake him. Although the old farmer didn't whip the donkey to speed it up.
His gaze first swept over the armored guards at the city gate, then fell on the proud soldiers standing on the city wall. Yu Xiaogang raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Elite troops—!"
Having reached this conclusion in his mind, Yu Xiaogang felt even more mysterious and unpredictable about Ling Yi, whom he had only met once.
This person actually has such an army under his command, and the Heaven Dou Empire doesn't care at all?
"Yes, he served in the Heaven Dou Border Army. These people should be retired veterans from the border army..."
With mixed feelings, Yu Xiaogang walked around, looking around and silently observing the "Lingyun City" that had been built less than three months ago.
Because it was built against Green Cloud Mountain, the city wall of Lingyun City only has three sides, each over eighty meters high, and the wall thickness is over one hundred meters!
As Yu Xiaogang traveled along, he noticed that the houses were neatly arranged, with streets and buildings distributed in an extremely orderly manner, giving people a sense of cleanliness and beauty.
In other words, Yu Xiaogang is a native of Douluo. If a transmigrator from the Yanhuang system were to come, he would at least have to recite a poem by Bai Letian.
"Hundreds of thousands of houses resemble a chessboard, twelve streets are like vegetable plots. In the distance, one can faintly see the morning fires, and a line of stars leads to the five gates to the west."
At the summit of Green Cloud Mountain, Ling Yi stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at Lingyun City below, and softly recited a poem.
This city, built by emptying the coffers of the Blacksmith Association, the Green Wood Merchant Association, and the Blue Silver Territory, is several times larger than the ancient Chang'an City of the previous life, both in terms of its area and its city walls.
The Weiyi drawback is that, since it was built relatively recently, the number of residents inside is still somewhat small.
Even after relocating the entire ' Blue Silver Territory ' here, and with the Blacksmith Association and the Green Wood Merchant Association recruiting willing migrants from all over the continent, the population has only just surpassed 180,000.
