An enormous mountain had been sheared off halfway up, leaving a platform dozens of miles across. Six enormous flying boats rested atop it in a hexagonal defensive formation, like a small city.
Around them, quite a few cultivators from the Three Divine Sects were building an enormous outer wall...
Of course, mortals could not compare to cultivators when it came to building cities, nor did cultivators need to go through all the same trouble.
Several disciples of the Three Divine Sects carried over a boulder about a zhang across and set it on the ground. One disciple held a longsword and, with a few casual strokes, cut it into equally sized blocks seven or eight feet across, setting them aside.
Another disciple, a formation master, inscribed runes and formations on the blocks, giving them astonishing defensive strength comparable to steel...
Then several disciples carried the blocks away and stacked them using a kind of solution to bind them. They worked so quickly that, in little more than a day, they had already built over half the wall.
Several teams of cultivators also patrolled the surroundings. They would know immediately if anything stirred...
On a mountainside several miles away, two figures silently emerged from a tree trunk...
Fairy Ningyu said to Ye Han beside her, "Junior brother! Look, they're building a city. Could they be planning to make this their base? This place is still awfully far from Heaven-Splitting Gorge and the Gray Mist Mountain Range!"
After observing for a while, Ye Han smiled and said, "The Red Dragon Girl suffered a setback and learned her lesson. She doesn't want to take another heavy loss like last time."
Fairy Ningyu smiled at that. "She was unlucky to run into you, junior brother. Otherwise, how could she have lost so much face?"
