Chapter 445: City Building
Although the Tiandao Sect’s art of riding on clouds and mist is a flying spell, it has endless uses. Li Yi performed it at the first level of the Five Qi Realm. The auspicious clouds were scarlet and moved incredibly fast, much faster than the escape lights of those Jindan cultivators at the time. Moreover, the auspicious clouds can carry ordinary people, and even houses and palaces can be placed on them. As long as you have enough magic power, you can live on the clouds all year round.

Even after you leave, if you are willing to leave some magic power, the auspicious cloud can maintain itself and last for several years, or even dozens or hundreds of years. Moreover, with the blessing of your magic power, the speed of the cloud will become faster and faster, breaking the sound barrier and exceeding the full speed of the Thunder Fighter with ease.

If you reach the Three Flowers Realm, you can still leave a wisp of your spiritual power and refine the auspicious clouds into magical instruments. They can appear and disappear at will, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on its own without even consuming any mana.

Moreover, the art of riding on clouds and mist can be used in conjunction with the art of subduing dragons and tigers.

The auspicious clouds can be transformed into the shapes of dragons and tigers, and then injected with magic power to fight the enemies.

Although this world is in the Dharma Ending Age, people have been practicing Taoism for countless years and have advanced to a certain peak state. A small technique is a remarkable existence, not to mention this top-notch inherited Taoist technique. It is difficult for ordinary practitioners to fully master it in their entire lives. For example, the bald Taoist mastered the method of calling the wind only when he reached the Three Flowers Realm at his peak.

It was because Li Yi possessed Xiang Xiangzi’s soul flower and had countless years of cultivation insights and magical experience as a master in the Three Flower Realm that he was able to learn so easily and simply.

Accompanied by the red and white auspicious clouds flying all the way, on the next morning, they finally crossed the sea and saw a continent.

“Baoting, we’re here.” The goddess Yun Fei was panting. She and the other two fairies took turns to perform the cloud-flying technique and finally arrived at the destination at this moment.

After all, it was because his realm had fallen and his magic power was insufficient. If it were in the past, he would not have been so embarrassed.

“Let’s go and take a look at our Tiandao Sect’s former base in Baoting first. Goddess, take a rest first, and I will continue the journey.” Xuan Yuezi stood up at this moment. She shook her hand casually, and several spirit stones turned into powder.

“Okay, thank you for your help, Fairy.” Concubine Yun nodded without refusing.

Xuan Yuezi continued to use the cloud-flying technique, and then led Li Yi in one direction.

At this time, they saw many villages, cities, and roads appearing on the ground. There were many former ascetics and ordinary people living here. Although it was a little worse than the Taoist Temple, it seemed more peaceful here, with no fighting or killing, and there was already order and rules.

Continuing forward, Li Yi saw the huge city. Looking down from the sky, the city looked like a huge ingot pattern. There were many mountains in the city, and the peaks were inlaid with gems, corals, pearls and the like. Although without the nourishment of spiritual energy, these treasures had become ordinary things, but they still sparkled with jewels under the sun.

Some people tried to climb up and take out the treasures left by the previous ascetics, but the mountain was too high and difficult to climb, and only the ascetics could take the treasures by flying up.

But even if a cultivator has a bit of magical power, why would he waste it on this?

“I haven’t been to Baoting for a long time, and it has changed a lot.” The bald Taoist priest looked down from the auspicious clouds and couldn’t help but sigh.

When he was young, he traveled around the world, came to Baoting, got some opportunities, and met some Taoist friends, but that was hundreds of years ago, and things and people are definitely different now.

The other Taoists also started talking. They discussed past events and told some stories about Baoting.

Although they all lived in Daoting, as former masters, they all had some experience. Moreover, Baoting was not a remote and poor place. During its heyday, it was a prosperous place where Taoist veins from all directions gathered.

The group passed Baoting City and arrived at the former base of Tiandao Sect not far outside the city.

These are three green mountains, which look like blooming lotuses. There are palaces and pavilions on the top and the mountainside, but now they are all deserted. Although they can still be used, these palaces and pavilions are built in steep places without steps or stairs, so mortals cannot climb up. In today’s Dharma-Ending Age, who would be willing to spend the energy to live in such a place?

Although it is a pity, abandonment is inevitable.

However, under the green mountains, there is a flat land with flowers blooming for hundreds of miles, rivers flowing through, and wild birds flying.

“This is a good place, with mountains behind and water in sight. It gathers wind and stores energy. If you settle down here, you will definitely live a long and healthy life.” Taoist Wu took a look and commented immediately.

“Needless to say, even if my Tiandao Sect is an abandoned garrison, it is in harmony with the stars in the sky and the earth’s veins below, and the feng shui is excellent. The three green mountains symbolize happiness, wealth and longevity. The mortals living here will surely be blessed with great fortune and a long life.” Xiang Xiangzi said at this moment: “If the feng shui is not good, this fairy can also move mountains and dig rivers to create a feng shui treasure land.”

Xuan Yuezi sighed and said, “It’s a pity that in the Dharma Ending Age, this place is a little far from the Treasure Court. If you want to live here, you must break the mountain and open a road. It is impossible with the power of mortals. Although the cultivators have great power and can change the landform, few people are willing to spend their magic power on this matter.”

“This is easy. I just happened to learn the art of building houses. With a few minor modifications, it can become a paradise.” Li Yi said. He also liked this place very much. He lived in peace with the world and devoted himself to practicing Taoism.

The most important thing is that crossing the boundary here will not attract the attention of other practitioners.

“Now I have to trouble Taiyi. If there is anything you can do for us, please just let me know. I still have some magic power.” Xuan Yuezi bowed with gratitude.

Li Yi said, “No need. Fairies and seniors, please have a good rest. I have just learned some Taoist skills and I am worried about where to practice them. Now is the best opportunity to practice. There is a palace on the top of the mountain. Although it is covered with dust, it is intact. You can rest there for a day and arrange accommodation tomorrow.”

Then he descended on auspicious clouds and brought everyone to an exquisite palace with green glazed tiles on the top of the mountain.

Li Yi simply used the Qingfeng Spell, and his magic power blew up a whirlwind, sweeping away the fallen leaves in front of the palace, weeds, the dust inside, as well as the wild bird nests and dead branches. Then, these garbage turned into powder in the whirlwind and dissipated in the mountains in an instant.

After the cleaning, the palace regained some of its former grandeur, becoming magnificent and luxurious.

“Tian Dao Palace.”

Looking at the three words in front of the palace, everyone in the Tiandao Sect was a little dazed for a moment.

I didn’t expect that I would be able to see this familiar palace in my lifetime.

“The Tiandao Sect is gone, so what is the point of keeping the Tiandao Palace?”

Xiang Xiangzi saw this and stretched out his white palm and wiped the air, and the three big characters of Tiandao Palace immediately disappeared. Then he stretched out his hand to write in the air, and saw the three characters “Taiyi Palace” left on the plaque. “That’s right, from now on this place will be called Taiyi Palace.”

After finishing this task, she nodded with satisfaction.

Everyone laughed, but didn’t stop him.

Putting down the Tiandao Sect plaque is a good thing. We can’t keep dwelling on the past.

“Taiyi will live here in the future. This palace is Taiyi’s temporary palace. You people should not come up to disturb us when you have nothing to do, otherwise I will not be polite. Do you hear me?” Xiang Xiangzi said.

“Auntie, I, the Taoist priest and others, don’t have any magical powers and we can’t get to the top of the mountain. Don’t worry.” Taoist priest Wu said immediately, making his position clear to avoid being beaten again in the future.

Xiang Xiangzi nodded and said, “That’s right, but I am just saying this in advance to avoid any misunderstandings in the future.”

“Then everyone take a rest first. I will go and see how to rebuild the valley.” After Li Yi finished speaking, he soared into the sky and found the Thunder Fighter in the clouds.

Enter the fighter plane.

“Lan Ji.” Li Yi said.

“I’m here, master.” Lan Ji’s voice rang out, and then a woman with blue hair, a graceful figure and a sweet face immediately appeared in front of him.

This is a three-dimensional projection inside the Thunder Fighter, not a real person.

Li Yi said: “Use the Thunder Fighter to scan this area, and then combine the local style to generate city construction drawings.”

“Okay, master, scanning the valley.” said Lan Ji.

Although Li Yi had not read many books, he knew that urban construction was not a simple and easy task. It required reasonable planning and layout. If it was built haphazardly, it would cause many inconveniences in living in the future. So he planned to let Lan Ji, the artificial intelligence, do this.

Although the Lan Ji system in the Thunder Fighter is not as good as the fourth-generation intelligence in Tianchang City, it has no problem doing such small things.

soon.

A three-dimensional projection map appeared before my eyes.

On the map, a small town with rigorous planning, exquisiteness and uniqueness appeared before our eyes, with neat houses, winding roads and a river running through the city, which was both a water source and a waterway.

Moreover, the palaces left by the Tiandao Sect on the top of the mountain and halfway up the mountain were not wasted, and were connected by steps according to the design drawings.

In addition, there are city walls and gates outside the valley to defend against invasions by foreign enemies and wild beasts.

There is also a ten-zhang-wide road outside the city wall, which extends outward in twists and turns and leads directly to Baoting City.

In addition to the renderings, there are also construction drawings. Li Yi looked at the densely packed hidden pipes and lines and suddenly felt a headache. Now he understood how difficult it was for Yang Jian to cross the border and restore an entire city at the same time after Tianchang City was destroyed. This not only requires precise control of power, but also enough brains to think about planning.

“However, this is also an experience for me. It can help me improve my control over magic. I have nothing to do anyway.”

After Li Yi wrote down the drawings, he opened the hatch and rode on auspicious clouds to mid-air above the valley.

He closed his eyes and thought seriously, then magic power surged out of his body. He pinched his hand seals and performed the house-building technique. In an instant, the ground began to wriggle and houses rose from the ground. Then, with the blessing of magic power, the mud houses turned into exquisite stone houses. However, some of the houses were in strange shapes and had not taken shape, as if they had not been built yet.

This is because of the lack of some magic power.

Li Yi was not in a hurry and transformed himself slowly.

As the spells were continuously cast, an exquisite little town began to take shape. At the same time, steps appeared out of thin air on the mountain, connecting the various exquisite palaces and attics left by the Tiandao Sect together, allowing people to go up and down the mountain at will without consuming magic power to fly around.

After a while, the city wall took shape, and a wide stone road extended into the distance, leading directly to Baoting.

Li Yi also built a stone bridge and left an open space for leisure. He also planned fertile farmland and vegetable plots nearby. As long as people were willing to cultivate the land, it would be no problem to feed thousands or even tens of thousands of people.

As he continued to cast spells, Li Yi’s control over magic became more and more sophisticated.

“Not bad.” Li Yi was very satisfied with his masterpiece.

Building a city in one day was something that was unthinkable in the past, but now it can be easily achieved. If it were before, it would be easy for him to destroy this small city, but he would be completely unable to build it.

At last.

He used his magic power to dig many wells in various places in the city, added some living facilities, and after checking for any deficiencies and filling them up, he was busy until late at night, and that was when he finally finished.

With this experience, Li Yi can directly build a city no matter which world he goes to in the future.
