Sun Fei had been learning from Uncle Cain and Sister Dama, and had grasped some of the knowledge about the declaration of Divine Runes. Therefore, he could understand some of the information displayed by the God and Demon Altar. In addition, he had a faint blood connection with [ Sky City ]. So, the moment the two left, he suddenly realized something.
He slowly approached the small pool in front of the throne in the God King Hall.
At this moment, in the rectangular pool in front of the throne in the God King Hall, a Nine-Flower Golden Lotus, except for one that was in full bloom, the other eight were still holding their stamens, forming flower buds, about to bloom.
This golden lotus had always existed before this. When Sun Fei first met it, it was just some buds and vines. Later, a golden lotus bloomed, and then the vines spread out completely, like a green, enchanting beauty gracefully floating in the water. Finally, now all nine silver lotuses have bloomed. It has been undergoing changes all along.
At first, Sun Fei thought it was just an ordinary decorative plant and didn't pay much attention to it.
But just now, Sun Fei painstakingly transcribed the Divine Runewords he had memorized for the two magic research fanatics. In the process, he actually digested the chilling aura of this information and obtained relevant hints from those Divine Runewords. He finally understood that this golden lotus was actually the control hub that controlled the defenses, attacks, magic arrays, and illusions of various parts of [ Sky City ].
I never expected that!
Sun Fei had been speculating that [ Sky City ] had not yet fully revealed its magical powers.
The legendary Sky City is a wondrous megacity that even the gods desire. Even Maradona, the undisputed number one martial artist on the continent, is said to have entered Sky City once by chance when he was still a mere Moon Class expert. From then on, he shone like a comet across the sky, becoming the pinnacle of martial arts on the continent. Why is it that this megacity, possessing all sorts of incredible supernatural powers, has become a Teleport city in his hands, capable only of roughly invisibility and flying? That truly is a case of 'their reputation not living up to its name'.
Now I understand that it was because I hadn't mastered the true method to control [ Sky City ].
He closed his eyes and carefully organized the information he had gleaned in his mind. Then, he suddenly switched to [ Druid Mode ]. A rich aura of natural power emanated from Sun Fei's body. The Nine-Flower Golden Lotus in front of him felt this power and immediately swayed its body gently, as if it were dancing joyfully.
Sun Fei approached the golden lotus, slowly extended his finger, and a wisp of extremely rich cyan natural power surged into one of the golden lotus buds that was about to bloom.
Suddenly, the flower bud seemed to awaken, like a sleeping beauty slowly opening her eyes from a deep sleep.
Layer by layer, the tender white petals, shimmering with golden fluorescence, unfolded. This process seemed to accelerate the blooming time of a flower by hundreds of times. Soon, this golden lotus, which consisted of nine layers, each with nine petals, was in full bloom in the air. Among them were nine crystal-clear stamens, as delicate as snowflakes, incomparably beautiful, truly embodying the essence of heaven and earth.
The blooming flowers, as if they had come to life, swayed gently and gracefully in front of Sun Fei, as if they were being coquettish.
At the same time, Sun Fei could feel an invisible protective shield silently spreading outwards from the central Divine Mountain God King Hall of [ Sky City ], instantly enveloping the entire Sky City. This shield was different from the previous one, which only had a hidden effect. Its toughness and sturdiness made it difficult for even Sun Fei's current strength to break through.
This golden lotus is responsible for the defensive capabilities of [ Sky City ].
And this newly blossoming golden lotus is the master of [obstruction].
Each lotus flower of this Nine-Flower Golden Lotus possesses a defensive ability. Apart from the one we just saw, the other flowers are dominated by the following functions: [Invisibility], [Reflection], [Early Warning], [Internal], [Detection], [Analysis], [Isolation], and [Virtual]. Adding the previous [Blocking], there are exactly nine.
This method of manipulating city defenses seems to inherit the innate divine abilities of the ancient elven race, belonging to one of the divine arts of the elven God Clan. It is evident how illustrious and powerful the person who once built and possessed the [ Sky City ] was, seemingly having concentrated all their divine abilities to create such a Teleport city with infinite possibilities.
To control this city, one must possess certain Elf Clan abilities. Only those who truly master the ability to communicate with plants can use the Nine-Flower Golden Lotus to protect the entire [ Sky City ].
Sun Fei possesses all seven classes from the Diablo World. Among them, the [ Druid Mode ], although not Elf Clan, also loves nature and controls its power, thus enabling him to converse with the Nine-Flower Golden Lotus. This is an anomaly that even the original owner of this city could not have foreseen.
According to the information Sun Fei gleaned from the Divine Runewords, in addition to the golden lotus before him, eight more similar Nine-Flower Golden Lotus would grow in this small, clear pond after the city's energy was fully replenished.
The remaining eight golden lotuses each govern one of eight different functions of the city: attack, Teleport, rescue, circulation, differentiation, time, information, and faith. Each of the nine flowers of the Nine-Flower Golden Lotus governs a more specific function.
In summary, the nine Nine-Flower Golden Lotus together possess a total of eighty-one incredible supernatural powers over this city.
This is the true power of the [ Sky City ].
Each ability is incredibly powerful, comparable to the power of a god, and almost unsolvable. The combination of these eighty-one abilities has transformed the city into an eternally immortal mythical city, powerful and irresistible, and impregnable. It is almost a puppet of God King Level. Once it is completely mastered, it can dominate the continent and be invincible!
However, the amount of energy required to fully realize these eighty-one abilities is unimaginably vast.
Currently, [ Sky City ] has completely absorbed half of the energy from the Normal Difficulty [ Worldstone ] and one-tenth of the energy from the Nightmare Difficulty [ Worldstone ], yet it has only managed to grow one Nine-Flower Golden Lotus with the dominant defensive function, unlocking nine defensive functions. To have the remaining eight Nine-Flower Golden Lotus fully grown and all seventy-two functions unlocked, it's likely that even absorbing the entire Nightmare Difficulty [ Worldstone ]'s energy wouldn't be enough!
Sun Fei could only proceed cautiously.
However, even so, it is already extremely crucial for Chambord City at present.
If one day, Chambord City encounters an insurmountable enemy capable of destruction, all its inhabitants can retreat into the [ Sky City ]. With all nine defensive functions fully activated, even if a god were to descend, he would not be able to breach the city's defenses, thus protecting all its citizens and eliminating Sun Fei's worries.
Next, Sun Fei spent some time selectively adjusting the city's defensive functions using the nine blooming golden lotuses before leaving the God King Hall.
By this time, it was already getting dark, and Angela and Elena had not yet returned from the Endless Forest Sea.
After thinking for a moment, Sun Fei left Five Sword Heaven Peaks and returned to Chambord City.
Before leaving, there are still a few things to arrange.
Second update.
