923: Chapter 581 923: Chapter 581 In the end, they turned their attention to some big mountains, which could be flattened for planting crops or constructing bases!
Many places in Yun City are not short of big mountains, and among those numerous mountains, some do indeed exist near the city.
Entering some small towns through the clouds, you find them after navigating 18 bends from high to low.
A road is carved out at the mountain summit, leading down to the base, then descending again from the top.
Nobody wastes more energy flattening an entire mountain; only a road is built upon it!
This road has a long history, having evolved from a dirt path to a concrete road, with repairs taking place every year.
Yet no investment has been made to flatten the mountains to make passage easier!
Venturing further inside, there are still many large mountains.
Underneath these mountains lie villages.
In the past, people would plant fruit trees on these mountains, but they couldn’t cultivate rice.
Later, nothing could be grown—these mountains were left barren!
Now with a purpose in mind, they’ve discovered that the big mountains have begun to sprout seedlings; they are all medicinal herb saplings!
The Ye Family and Tang Family are currently contracting to take over all the large mountains and some farmland in Yun City, though not all the mountains have been acquired yet!
This time, two bases will be constructed inside those mountains, flattening ones deemed useless by people to serve as sites for the bases!
Flattening so many large mountains begs the question – where will all that soil and mud be moved to?
Some have already thought of a destination for the soil; the rocky mountains’ stones can be used to fill the highways they plan to expand, while the yellow soil can be made into ceramic tiles!
Also, they are raising the level of some of the lower pits a bit.
Such a project may take a long time, as would flattening and constructing another base!
Building a base here, of course, the quicker, the better.
Both people can’t wait a year or half!
Thus, with their spells, they’ve relocated the residents of the inhabited villages, with the government helping to settle them down and prosper!
Jiang Tang moves his hand, and under his motion, several large mountains disappear to an unknown location, leaving behind a very flat expanse where the mountains once stood!
People find it bewildering – within the blink of an eye, how could such large mountains vanish?
They rub their eyes, believing they are seeing things!
Subsequent guesses suggest only a deity could accomplish such a feat—moving mountains and seas!
Ye Tian watches his brother-in-law move mountains.
He isn’t incapable, but he doesn’t know where to relocate the mountains to?
Surely not to fill the ocean, right?
The sea has its uses too; transferring the mountains into the sea, what use would that have?
Possibly to form a small island in the sea?
Ye Tian speculates this but dares not attempt it!
Initially, Jiang Tang wanted to move the mountains either to his personal space or the Primordial Treasure Lingtian Space, later considering it inappropriate, as those were lands of Civilization Country, simply plain soil, unfit for growing superior crops!
Both spaces would spontaneously generate mountains or farmland; external mountains brought in would serve no purpose and could even block his own lands!
After weighing the options, not far from Yun City, roughly 100 kilometers away, there’s the vast sea.
Such a vast sea seems like a waste of resources.
Moving these mountains into the centre of the sea could form a small island, offering another place for people to live and thrive!
Jiang Tang feels that doing so would be a good deed.
Several large mountains within this area, spanning more than ten miles, could be moved to form a base.
Relocating so many mountains could create an island spanning over ten miles.
As long as he stabilizes it with a spell, this stretch of land could host a small city on the island!
Civilization Country would gain another habitable place.
Ships passing by could establish a port there, stopping to replenish food, resources, and water!
In but an instant, Jiang Tang thinks to a place like the Southern Sea.
As his hands wave, he has already relocated more than a dozen large mountains, now over 100 kilometers away in the sea!
These mountains form a small island in the sea, naturally causing some passing ships to be diverted!
At sea, those fishing or cargo boats passing by suddenly encounter a gale, sending their ships flying afar as if they were combat aircraft.
They think it’s fantastic, as if dreaming, believing they are surely doomed this time!
When they were screaming in terror, thinking the boat would be blown over and they would sink into the sea, they didn’t expect to be carried a dozen miles away and then to come to a safe stop!
They were still in shock when they realized that they had broken out in a cold sweat and were shaking all over.
They turned their attention back to where the incident had just occurred!
To their amazement, what once was sea had turned into a vast island, possibly dozens of miles in size!
The passing ships captured this scene on camera, and, utterly frightened, they quickly moved away from this place!
Many of these ships were chartered, and the ship owners, after listening to the crew’s stories and witnessing the fantastical scene for themselves,
immediately thought about constructing the buildings, factories, and docks they needed on the island.
To do this, they would have to apply to the government for approval and purchase the land!
But it turned out there were already others with the same idea, competing to snap up the purchasing rights, leading many bosses to join the scramble for land.
Government officials and related personnel had only just learned about the sudden appearance of this new island in the sea.
When people were eager to buy the land, these personnel went to survey whether the island was habitable.
Was there a water source there, or any other valuable resources?
What they discovered was that the island had been formed by the transfer of more than a dozen large mountains, but the reason as to why the mountains had shifted there remained a mystery.
This report made its way up the chain of command, eventually reaching national media and important figures.
In Yun City, the sudden translocation of more than a dozen mountains had converted the terrain into flat land where two bases were now being established and under construction.
Combining this with the information about the island, they concluded that only a deity could perform such acts!
This strange information was no longer a secret; the sudden appearance of the island spread far and wide, as did the vanishing of more than a dozen mountains, with people starting to worship immortals as word spread.
These two locations were investigated by the curious, and more people went to view the small island.
Even more people vied for ownership of the island, eager to buy the land, especially after discovering that the grass there contained medicinal herbs required for some medicines.
When some tried to visit the bases, they found the areas sealed off and closed to the public during construction.
There were those who attempted to disguise themselves as construction workers to gain access to a base, but inside, they found nothing of interest—just construction workers and materials.
The base, still under construction, offered no sights worth seeing.
Jiang Tang and Ye Tian weren’t idle while the bases were being built.
Jiang Tang gathered the young people from his family and taught them on-site how to make medicines.
Ye Tian had already created an automated machine and handed it over to Jiang Tang to instruct the personnel.
Ye Tian also led a team in his family to teach them about machine production, providing them with the necessary blueprints.
The machines they were currently producing were only for medicine making, stored safely within the confines of the family grounds, with no concern for theft.
These weren’t secret products like flying cars or combat aircraft.
When these two deities, each in their own family, were teaching the young people, they believed their families would be impervious to any theft.
But on this particular night, already deep into the midnight hours, someone scaled the walls and broke into the Ye Family’s residence, triggering an alarm as they entered.
The intruders, who had been extremely cautious and had scanned for high-tech security without finding any infrared or cameras—thinking they had moved through a blind spot—were still discovered!
After the alarm sounded, they stubbornly attempted to push further inside, only to be suddenly enveloped in a powerful light.
They felt as if they had been electrocuted and regretted not fleeing immediately when the alarm went off!
