Chapter 507: Completion

Time flew, and when the first tender green grass drilled out of the thick layer of snow, the construction of Yao Mountain city was completed.
Surrounding the main peak of Yao Mountain, the city wall was hundreds of miles long in total, and over five-hundred meters tall. Thirty-six watchtowers with a height of five kilometers each stood on all four sides of the city, and standing in the middle of each watchtower were twelve divine weapons called ‘Meridian Thunder divine tower’; Meridian Thunder divine tower was used to fight against all kinds of evils under the heaven.
Kua E and his brothers imitated the Heaven Palace of the ancient heaven and made Yao Mountain city like a copy of the Heaven Palace, only thousands of times smaller than it.
The streets in the city were wide and broad, crossing vertically like lines on a chessboard. All kinds of buildings stood beside the streets, and these were all designed in simple and aesthetic shapes, lying by the streets like beasts lying in their own territories. All buildings had been giving out a feeling of stateliness. Each one of these buildings was cast in whole with starry divine iron and decorated with black volcanic rocks on the outside. The buildings in the city were entirely in a color of black, which made them seem to be even more solid, sturdy and indestructible.
Among these buildings in Yao Mountain city, some were dwellings, some military camps while some were warehouses. There were plazas, pools and fountains and ditches in the city as well. One could find buildings with all kinds of functions in the city. This city was broad and functional enough to contain ten million people living and working in it.
Because of the Heaven and Earth great formation, one could often see hazy silhouettes of dragons, phoenixes, Qi Lings and other legendary magical creatures flashing across the air and disappearing immediately. These silhouettes were condensed from the combination of natural power and star power. Wherever they flashed across, strong power streams and positive energies would pass too. If one stayed in a place like this on a long-term basis, it could magically strengthen one’s body and prolong life.
Followed by a thunderous boom, the last section of outer wall was cast and thus, the entire Yao Mountain city was finally built up.
Heaven and Earth great formation was completed, and without being activated, countless divine spell symbols emerged from the city wall, the walls of buildings and the ground, one after another. Meanwhile, numerous silhouettes of dragons, phoenixes, cranes and other legendary magical creatures slowly walked out of a splendid glow. Following them, dense streams of warm light descended from the sky, transforming into an enormous shield of light that shrouded the entire Yao Mountain city.
Countless tremendous earth meridians rumbled underground simultaneously, through which, surging waves of natural power gathered towards Yao Mountain city like an overwhelming flood. It was transformed by the great magic formation buried underground into a visible, clear and beautiful mist, puffing up into the city air.
It seemed as if all stars in the sky had gathered above Yao Mountain city. Standing in the city and simply raising one’s head could allow one to see splendid, colorful stars rotating slowly. One wouldn’t even be able to see a small area of regular sky. The dense star power could be seen as well, descending in big streams along with muffled booms, flushing every inch of soil in the city like tidewater.
The star power coming from stars mixed and merged together with the natural power coming from underground through earth meridians. It was then magically transformed into the purple liquid that accumulated in the broad lake which was located behind Earl Yao’s mansion.
By now, the lake had already been filled up by the purple liquid. As more and more liquid accumulated in the lake, the liquid’s density grew higher and higher. Eventually, fist-sized, purple crystals began to grow on the bottom of the lake.
These crystals were the so-called ‘divine crystals’ used by divine gods in ancient heaven as a supply of cultivation. Even the lowest grade piece of purple divine crystal could trade for a hundred pieces of top-grade magic crystals or a million jade coins in markets of Pu Ban city.
Ji Hao spent a fortune to build this city, but with this magic lake that was producing the divine purple liquid and divine crystals accumulating in it, he would have a considerable income each year only by selling the divine crystals. In three to five years, he could even earn the money that he spent on this city back.
The pure and strong star power and natural power constantly nourished every inch of this city. Starry divine iron was an extremely magical type of material. Even though the starry divine iron used by Ji Hao was in the lowest quality, being ceaselessly nourished by star power and natural power, the quality of the starry divine iron would gradually enhance.
As the quality the starry divine iron enhanced, the defensive power of this city would improve too. Year after year, the defensive power of Yao Mountain city would eventually reach a certain degree that would make their enemies despair.
