Sky-Piercing Pillar

The Mortal Domain may appear to have some scale now, but its foundation is still somewhat lacking.

The most obvious manifestation of this is that the main buildings in the Camp are still predominantly White Grade buildings, with Green Grade buildings being rare.

The Green Grade building has only one "Warehouse".

The Yellow Grade building contains only one "Vehicle Workshop".

The grade of a building is certainly important.

But grade is also extremely important.

Take the "Warehouse" as an example. Whether it's the effect of the Mustard-Seed Room or the effect of storing Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, this is something that the Wooden Hut cannot achieve, no matter how high its level is.

But high-quality Building Blueprint are not so easy to obtain.

It was here that I obtained the Building Blueprint the Green Grade "Anti-Aircraft Cannon" and "Godslayer Cannon". The Camp also currently has the blueprint for the "Harbor" Building Blueprint.

It's just that we haven't used it yet.

There is also a Yellow Grade building called the "Starwatching Platform," which allows observation of the Strange Tide movements over a large area.

However, strictly speaking, this can be considered a "spectacle".

The Yellow Grade Building Blueprint in my hand is the second truly Yellow Grade Building Blueprint in the Mortal Domain.

Name of the Exotic Treasure: Sky-Piercing Pillar.

"Exotic Treasure Grade": Yellow Grade.

"Exotic Treasure Effect": Building Blueprint; once completed, it grants access to a Sky-Piercing Pillar.

It's just a Pillar.

Relatively high.

Hundreds of meters high.

However, the Formation Pattern patterns on the blueprints are quite complex and not easy to understand. The specific effects are not detailed and will only be known after the project is completed.

"Give it a try!"

Chen Fan glanced around, put the Jade Slip and Storage Ring into his pocket, crushed the Building Blueprint in his hand, quickly climbed onto Weiwei's back, and returned to Nameless Mountain.

If this thing is successfully made, it will be very powerful.

Soon Chen Fan arrived at the summit of the Nameless Mountain, which was next to Weiwei's lair.

After taking a deep breath, the 5,000 Eerie Stones shattered, and a Sky-Piercing Pillar made of white lines quickly appeared in front of him. As it solidified rapidly, an enormous Pillar stood beside the cliff.

The Sinkhole Camp is located below the cliff next to it.

He looked up at the Pillar in front of him, which seemed to reach into the clouds, hundreds of meters high.

It looks strange.

It is not perfectly straight and smooth.

Instead, it presents a twisted posture of almost tragic struggle upwards, like Wild Grass in the wilderness, neither stone nor gold, with an extremely rough texture.

It is not Pillar; its cross-section is a square.

The top and bottom are the same width.

Ten meters wide.

Its surface was engraved with various runes and Vein Patterns that he couldn't understand.

There is a small door at the base of the Pillar. Pushing the door open leads to the interior of the Pillar, which is hollow. At the bottom is a stone slab, and next to it is a jade button. Pressing the button will cause the stone slab to move like Elevator to the top of the Pillar.

Chen Fan walked alone into the Sky-Piercing Pillar, stood on the stone slab, pressed the jade button next to him, and the stone slab beneath his feet slowly rose.

They quickly transported him to the top of the Sky-Piercing Pillar.

He appeared on a top platform that was ten meters long and ten meters wide, but suspended a hundred meters in the air.

The scene before my eyes was extremely impactful.

"Damn it..."

The wind whistled past his ears. Chen Fan instinctively pressed himself tightly against the platform and carefully moved toward the edge. Looking down, the Jiangbei Wasteland looked like an endless, wrinkled, dead skin.

He saw the Mortal City.

Xiao Yi.

Standing on the Wasteland, one can vaguely see many Skeleton Horses and pedestrians moving back and forth in the Mortal City, as if someone is looking up at him.

Reason told him that this place was absolutely safe.

But his body's instincts still made his legs feel weak.

"That's fucking high!"

Chen Fan realized he might be a little afraid of heights. He only had one question in his mind: if he fell, could the Jadeite Staff protect him and keep him alive?

He is someone who enjoys conducting experiments.

If you have an idea, you should give it a try.

But...

He didn't plan to do the experiment at that moment; no one would use their own work for an experiment, so he needed to at least find a guinea pig.

"Call..."

He took a deep breath before leaning over the edge of the platform and looking at the panel of the "Sky-Piercing Pillar".

The panel is very simple.

"It can attract lightning during the Rainy Season and gather its energy, which can then be released when needed for defense or other purposes."

"The attack range can extend beyond the Camp's perimeter."

"Upgrade to the next level requires 10,000 Eerie Stone."

"Current storage progress (0/100)."

This thing is a lightning rod.

But it's better than a lightning rod.

It can attract lightning and store it.

We're a little late.

It would be better if it came during the Rainy Season.

But...

This is actually a good observation point; it offers a panoramic view, and if you don't consider the altitude, the field of vision is quite good.

He didn't stay any longer.

He quickly left through the Sky-Piercing Pillar. The wind was howling, and there wasn't even a handrail on the platform. He didn't want to be blown away by a strong gust of wind. He could accept dying because of his own strength, such as at the hands of Strange Entities or at the hands of other forces.

But if it was an accidental fall that killed them.

That's so frustrating.

This building wasn't upgraded. It won't be needed for a while and will have to wait until next year's Rainy Season. However, if it can store four Rainy Season lightning Sky-Piercing Pillar in a row, it might have a miraculous effect in the great battle four years later.

Feeling safe and secure back on the ground, Chen Fan looked up at the Sky-Piercing Pillar before him and clicked his tongue, "Why does it have to be four years?"

He has already formulated a series of four-year development plans for the Mortal Domain.

We aim to achieve all targets within four years.

Collectively referred to as the "Four-Year Plan".

He just felt it sounded a bit awkward. A three-year plan, a five-year plan, or even a ten-year plan would be fine, but it just had to be a Four-Year Plan.

Just then -

The Message Talisman in his arms was slightly warm. After picking it up, Zhou Mo's urgent voice came from inside. "Domain Lord, someone is causing trouble in Mortal City. We have apprehended them and await your arrival to decide how to deal with them."

"Um?"

Chen Fan frowned slightly, climbed onto Weiwei's back, and quickly reached the foot of the mountain. He then sent a telepathic message to Shao Qiu, telling Shao Qiu to follow him.

Then he sat on the Nine-Five Dragon Chariot and sped towards the Mortal City, casually picking up a Mortal Domain Member as his driver. Driving the Nine-Five Dragon Chariot was not difficult at all.

He can actually drive.

But it's somewhat indecent.

Soon!

The Nine-Five Dragon Chariot entered the Mortal City. The Mortal Domain Market Street were still bustling, but many people had gathered together to watch the excitement, and from time to time, one could hear some pleas for mercy. Chen Fan got off the Dragon Chariot and looked at the Trade Association from various forces gathered together next to him.

The instant he saw Chen Fan.

The surrounding onlookers immediately dispersed.

Seven or eight men were tied up and pinned down by "Mortal Domain Member." Zhou Mo, who was dealing with the matter, saw Chen Fan arrive and hurriedly stepped forward to report in a low voice, "These people don't have any identification badges; they entered the city this morning."

"One of them is Builder."

"After entering the city, this Builder began constructing structures such as the Eerie Fire and Arrow Tower in a corner at the far end of the Market. However, just as they were about to be completed, they suddenly dissipated. I led the 'War Pavilion' members to appear in time and capture the group."

Concise and to the point.

"Um."

Chen Fan stood on the street, leaning on his Jadeite Staff, looking at the unknown guests who had been pressed down beneath him. Long ago, he had obtained an Exotic Treasure the "Eternal Night Land Deed," the effect of which was quite simple.

Once settled, the lord will have absolute ownership of the land within the Camp's boundaries, and no one else may build or place any structures within the Camp's boundaries without permission.

This is the perimeter of his Camp.

It's impossible to build or place structures within his Camp area.

He looked around at the City Wall.

The Rainy Season was over, and there would be no Strange Entities attacking the City, so he didn't install too many Cannon Tower on the City Wall. He only installed 20 Level-4 Cannon Tower, which were just for show and to deter others.

"Domain Lord Chen, it's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding!"

One of the men pinned down struggled to lift his head and looked at Chen Fan, his voice trembling, "We've come to the Mortal Domain merchants to showcase the Builder skills of our organization. Other organizations with construction needs can contact us."

"We're not here to cause trouble."

"It's all a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstand?"

Chen Fan couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this. The reason was actually plausible, but upon closer inspection, it didn't make sense. Building an Arrow Tower to demonstrate one's strength was barely acceptable, but building Eerie Fire was not just about demonstrating strength; it meant preparing to activate the Arrow Tower with the Eerie Fire.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances.

This group is planning to create chaos, and then there's another group that's planning to take advantage of the chaos to do something.

He glanced around at the Trade Association of other factions.

Those people might be watching from here right now.

"Crippled Monkey."

"Young Master, I'm here."

"As the Pavilion Master the Punishment Pavilion, one of your responsibilities is to interrogate these people. Bring them back to the Camp, pry open their mouths, and find out what forces are behind them and what they want to do here."

"Clear!"

The Crippled Monkey nodded solemnly in agreement, and led his men to bind the men, put them on Horse-Drawn Carriage, and head towards the Nameless Mountain Camp.

"A little incident."

Chen Fan looked at the crowd of onlookers around him, his face full of gentleness, and said with a smile, "It's nothing, everyone can go home now."

He then went into the room next door.

Chen Fan standing inside the house.

He glanced at the group of Mortal Domain Member bustling around inside, then took out Message Talisman from his pocket and whispered, "Crippled Monkey, don't bring the person back to the Camp. Take him to the back Back Mountain Nameless Mountain."

Then he looked into the shadows in the corner behind him.

"Shao Qiu, go and follow them to see what's going on."

"Yes!"

A barely perceptible sound rang out, and the shadow in the corner of the room shifted slightly, then remained unchanged.

"That's interesting."

After doing all this.

Chen Fan sat down in a chair inside the room, poured himself a cup of cold tea, drank it all in one gulp, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Such a prominent figure in the Mortal Domain.

It will definitely attract covetous eyes.

He just didn't expect it to come so quickly.

Let's look at it from a different angle.

If he were an enemy, and knowing that the Mortal Domain possessed the Dragon Chariot and could control the Rainbow Pill Sect, yet still planned to attack the Mortal Domain, what would he do? Gather a group of Cultivator Cultivation relatively low cultivation levels, escort a low-level Builder to the Mortal City, and create chaos?

Then.

What happens after the chaos is created?

What can they do? This is the Mortal Domain Headquarters. Once the forces behind them are revealed, they're doomed.

Even the most ruthless assassins would find it difficult to withstand interrogation; interrogation is not something easily endured.

So-

After carefully considering the situation from the enemy's perspective, and seeing the genuine fear in their eyes, he came to a speculative conclusion: these people had no idea about the forces behind them; they were merely pawns.

The goal is not to create chaos.

The objective is to be taken back to the Mortal Domain Headquarters for interrogation.

Thus, the true goal is achieved.

How can we ensure that a certain item is delivered to the Mortal Domain Headquarters? The simplest way is to create suspense. Those troublemakers who are unaware of the forces behind them will definitely be brought back for interrogation.

In order to achieve their true goals.

What was the real objective? Self-destruction? Or something else? He didn't know, but he did know one thing: only when Market Shi Zhao publicly declared in front of everyone that he would take these people back to the Mortal Domain Headquarters could the real enemy believe that his plan had succeeded, thus revealing their true intentions and revealing who the enemy was.

This is why he spared no expense to protect the Rainbow Pill Sect back then.

When other forces are preparing to deal with him, they must think things through carefully.

He can also narrow down the possibilities.

Otherwise, he would have a hard time judging whether this group of people had other plans or were really sent by a foolish force behind them, which would greatly affect his judgment.

Stupid and wicked.

Sometimes, the difference between the two is actually quite puzzling.

But even a fool knows how to judge the strength of the strong and the weakness of the weak, and will not easily provoke the power of the Rainbow Pill Sect.

If it's not stupid, then it can only be bad.

Therefore, when someone uses seemingly foolish methods to deal with him, it means that the enemy has other plans. This is another hidden benefit of the Rainbow Pill Sect.

North River Market.

In a corner, among the onlookers.

After watching the entire process, the two exchanged a glance, then disappeared into the crowd, sending a message through their thoughts to a distant place.

The fish has taken the bait.

They ate the "Meat Strange Parent-Child Fruit".

The Message Talisman is very powerful, requiring the user to speak, which may pose a risk of exposure. However, after consuming the Meat Strange Parent-Child Fruit, the sound can be transmitted directly to a distant place through thought, without any risk of exposure.

"Forehead..."

Sitting in a car, the Crippled Monkey, who was escorting the troublemakers back to Camp, received orders from his Young Master shortly after leaving Mortal City. Although he didn't know why, he obeyed and entered the Eight Gorges.

Instead, they followed a winding mountain road towards the Back Mountain the Nameless Mountain.

The mountain path was fairly flat, but it was worn down by the Weiwei.

But it's somewhat steep.

It's not easy to walk on.

Just as the Crippled Monkey arrived at the Back Mountain and was about to do something, a voice suddenly came to his ear.

"The Sick Pavilion Master."

Suddenly, Shao Qiu appeared at a fake tree business, sitting respectfully before him. "The Domain Lord has ordered that these people are suspicious and to keep an eye on them. You'd better stay away to avoid being caught in the crossfire."

The Crippled Monkey, with a furrowed brow, asked Shao Qiu, who was sitting in the tree, in a hoarse voice, "Where's the Token?"

Shao Qiu waved the Dark Pavilion Master's Token in his hand.

The Crippled Monkey also took out his own Pavilion Master's token. After feeling a warm sensation on its surface, he lowered his guard and quickly retreated with his Subordinate to the vicinity of the cart.

His main concern was that Shao Qiu was an imposter.

Normally, Shao Qiu should still be in the Spirit-Nurturing Pavilion training Subordinate subordinates at this time.

The people tied up in the car had no idea what was happening outside. Their mouths were gagged, so they couldn't speak and could only make whimpering sounds.

Sitting under the tree, Shao Qiu looked down at a car parked in the forest and murmured excitedly.

"Please don't disappoint me..."

He desperately wanted the Shadow Pavilion to take action; only real combat was the best training ground.

In truth, he had no idea what was wrong with these people.

But since the Domain Lord ordered him to keep an eye on this group of people, it means there must be something unusual about them.
