The floating city was really cool, and after taking off, the spellcasters cast another spell, enveloping Dalaran in a white light, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived in a strange world.
This is far more ingenious than launching the Fenris Isles into the air back then!
The Sky City definitely can't fly anymore. That city is no worse Dalaran, and it's mainly for living, enough to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people. It can also produce enough food to supply hundreds of thousands of people. There's no need for it to fly around and waste energy.
However, it's possible to fly in Karazhan; we'll have to consult Aegwynn for that.
Imagine how amazing it would be if Karazhan could fly over Icecrown Glacier, the Ahn'Qiraj Empire, and the Tomb of Sargeras!
Looking up into the distance, one sees a continuous range of towering mountains, covered in snow. Nestled within these mountains is the perpetually frozen Icecrown Glacier, the lair of the Undead Scourge.
Turning my gaze downwards, I saw a shimmering forest:
Crystalsong Forest.
This forest is vast, with several towering trees that resemble mountain peaks from afar, on par with Seradane's Tree of Life, hundreds of meters high, and as if made of crystal, crystal clear.
In fact, before they became what they are now, they were originally Tree of Life. At that time, many Druid lived in this forest, but now they have become the ghosts of Druid.
Six thousand years ago, this place was not Crystalsong Forest, but Moonsong Forest. An ancient Night Elf city called " City of Shandaral " was located here, and some of the Highborne living here were also plagued by magic addiction.
The worst part is that they don't have Shen'dralar's mana crystal tower or the High Elf' Sunwell, so they have no way to cure their mana addiction.
Later, they accidentally discovered that members of the Blue Dragonflight sometimes used magic to crystallize certain creatures and extract energy from them.
Although these blue dragons acted out of mere curiosity—after all, they are the controllers of the Ley Line and have no shortage of energy—it was likely just a research discovery. However, the elves of Shandaral became fascinated by this technology and saw it as the key to ending their magic addiction.
Blue dragons are undoubtedly powerful and immortal, but most importantly, this spell, if misused, can cause great harm. Therefore, when the Highborne asked to learn this spell from them, they were naturally refused.
In desperation, a group of Highborne elves took a risk and infiltrated the lair of the Blue Dragonflight: the Nexus.
They successfully stole the dragon's magic there, but their insatiable greed led them to do more harm than good:
They took advantage of the situation and stole several powerful artifacts preserved in the Nexus.
This behavior naturally angered the blue dragon.
While the blue dragon was powerful, the Highborne mages who had lived for thousands of years were also formidable. In the end, after paying a certain price, they successfully escaped back to City of Shandaral.
The blue dragons, of course, wouldn't let them go, and soon dozens of blue dragons descended upon City of Shandaral.
A single dragon is already terrifying; dozens of blue dragons are at least equivalent to dozens of masters. Dalaran probably be in a real bind in this situation, let alone a Night Elf city that has lost its former glory.
The combined power of the spell Devastation the City of Shandaral.
In order to fight against the powerful blue dragon, the Highborne mages had no choice but to gather together and use stolen blue dragon artifacts to pool their power and try to absorb some of the Dryads to fight the Blue Dragonflight.
Unfortunately, they studied the Blue Dragon artifacts for too short a time and underestimated their power.
As a result, they crystallized everything in the Moonsong Forest, turning it into a crystal forest.
The blue dragon knew his artifact very well. He sensed the impending disaster the moment the Highborne began casting the spell and fled in time. However, the Highborne were torn apart by the power of the magic, leaving only their tragic souls.
The reason Jiang Jie came here with Dalaran was not only for convenience, but also mainly because he wanted to visit Crystalsong Forest.
He needs the energy here.
The game pod is running low on energy; its automatic absorption is far from keeping up with its consumption.
Especially during this period, Jiang Jie had just stepped into the True Unity Earth Immortal, and he spent far more time learning and cultivating in the game pod than in the outside world, so his energy was simply not enough.
Those ancient trees and creatures that have been crystallized contain a large amount of energy. As long as you kill them, you can absorb their energy, which is a great supplement for the game pods that don't have much energy reserves.
In fact, the reason Dalaran teleported here, rather than elsewhere, was not only to directly monitor Icecrown Glacier, but also because Dalaran could replenish its energy here:
Teleporting to a city is very energy-intensive; even Dalaran can't handle it!
Anveena cast a spell, teleporting them to the Crystalsong Forest below. The gorilla immediately thumped its chest, then grabbed the Arcanite Greatsword and charged into the distance to begin its hunt.
There are still many animals living in this forest, since half of it has not yet been crystallized.
Compared to other places, Crystalsong Forest has fewer creatures, but it has a considerable number of races and factions.
This forest is inhabited by the power of green dragons, signs of dragonkin activity, and even Druid, Keeper of the Grove, Dryad, the Scourge, the crystal beings created by Storm Peaks, and the corrupted Satyr.
The energy of crystallized organisms is highly sought after; everyone wants a piece of it.
The combined energy contained in this forest is enough to drive a Demigod mad; it probably doesn't even compare to the energy that Aegwynn could control at her peak.
Of course, absorbing this energy is not easy, and Jiang Jie has no way to do it. After all, the game pod can only absorb unclaimed free energy, while most of the energy here is imprisoned in the crystal, with only a very small portion floating in the air, making the energy density here comparable to Dalaran and Silvermoon City.
But Anveena has a way.
Over the next week, Jiang Jie traversed the Crystalsong Forest, and the game pod absorbed a large amount of energy, enough for the next few months.
Conflicts with other forces were inevitable during this period.
However, there weren't many terrifying beings in this place. Because of the " Dragon's Call " and " Demigod's Blessing " between his eyebrows, whether it was a green dragon, Dryad, or Keeper of the Grove, they were all very friendly to Jiang Jie.
In fact, the most terrifying force here is the forest itself.
This forest possesses its own power, a terrifying power.
Fortunately, Jiang Jie was also Keeper of nature, so the forest did not reject Jiang Jie. Jiang Jie did not cause widespread destruction, nor was he greedy. He only took what he needed.
A week later, Jiang Jie and his group finally arrived.
