Chapter 1765 - 1764: Nine Heavens Palace Ruins
Tang Feng had to admire those guys for their ’Lao Liu’ behavior.
Maybe that’s the reason they’ve been able to survive all this time.
After touring the entire Nine Heavens Palace, there wasn’t much to discover. There weren’t many well-preserved sites, but the endless clusters of buildings were still quite astounding.
Tang Feng realized there seemed to be no great value here anymore, having been searched countless times by countless people, without finding even a single waste pill or even a weapon fragment.
It was really thoroughly scoured.
As for the items taken by the Zixiao Palace, all of them have been carried away.
It seems unlikely to return.
As the place is barely livable, it’s of no value.
In the end, Tang Feng still let these people go.
Tang Feng planned to reconstruct the place; such a good place shouldn’t be wasted.
Luckily, he still had quite a few divine veins in hand, embedding them would surely revive the Nine Heavens Palace’s vitality.
At least for the ruined hall, tearing it down for a rebuild is fine.
Returning home, he assigned the women the task of recruiting people to rebuild the Nine Heavens Palace.
The women rejoiced, finally able to do something for Tang Feng. The news caused an uproar throughout the city.
Rebuilding Nine Heavens Palace would require quite a bit of divine crystal.
That’s quite a grand project.
Currently, most cultivators have meager incomes, earning very little outside the city.
Weak cultivators don’t even dare venture outside the city, making it truly difficult to find a job.
Now, with someone rebuilding the Nine Heavens Palace, these people were naturally overjoyed, spreading the news quickly, soon over ten thousand cultivators signed up.
Ten divine crystals per person per day, consuming a hundred thousand divine crystals in a day.
A medium-sized force probably couldn’t afford this.
Everyone was curious which force managed to drive away the Nine Heavens Palace’s Thief Gang.
Of course, some harbored thoughts about whether they could seize a opportunity, but before seeing anyone, they refrained from making a move, instead blending in among the cultivators.
If there was any benefit to be reaped, they would take action.
Three days later, over ten thousand cultivators went to the Nine Heavens Palace ruins, all too familiar with the place.
After all, many earned their first fortunes here only to gradually decrease as they found nothing after excavating the land several times.
Adding to it, the Thief Gang occupied the area for years without real gains, big forces became lazy about intervening, creating a vacuum.
This is why the thieves were rampant.
Upon arriving at the Nine Heavens Palace ruins, they found the Thief Gang truly gone, most people were thrilled, meaning they could freely venture outside now.
No more worrying about their harvests being looted outside the city.
Over ten thousand people gathered at the broken square of the Nine Heavens Palace, standing ready, watching the stage where more than twenty absolutely gorgeous women stood, most of whom they of course recognized—famous oirans.
Unexpectedly, they were all gathered here at once.
After waiting a moment, a colossal divine ship appeared overhead, and a young man descended slowly, initially standing before the women.
Seeing Tang Feng, the ten thousand cultivators felt almost incredulous.
They waited long but saw no one else descend from the divine ship, only Tang Feng’s gesture as it was retracted.
"Husband."
In amazement, more than twenty women surged over to Tang Feng.
"Everyone’s been found."
"Hmm, over ten thousand people, it should be completed in several days."
"Good."
"Here’s the blueprint, let them begin." After handing the blueprint to them, Tang Feng vanished.
No way, was that young man really the powerful one who drove away the Thief Gang?
Too young.
For these cultivators who’ve lived hundreds of thousands, even millions of years, it’s a worldview-shattering shock.
Thus, those with ulterior motives dared not act rashly.
The thought of exploiting the situation was completely killed.
Better to honestly earn some divine crystals, than risk losing their lives.
So under the women’s arrangements, the vigorous reconstruction of the Nine Heavens Palace began.
Palaces rose on original sites.
For cultivators, this wasn’t difficult. With the materials ready, it’s just a matter of days.
Some built palaces, others did landscaping, a week later, a grand complex stood again atop the Nine Heavens Palace.
The main hall was built with grandeur and magnificence.
After Tang Feng inspected, he instructed the women to distribute the wages.
As they completed ahead of schedule, Tang Feng even gave each person additional divine crystals.
The cultivators thanked him and left.
Each was ecstatic.
In the past, earning divine crystals meant risking their lives, they’d never imagined earning them with ease.
After they all left, Tang Feng set up a defensive array, considering this plane’s cultivators would find breaking it as difficult as reaching the heavens.
Tang Feng brought the women into the Nine Heavens Palace, intending for them to establish a sect and recruit female disciples.
After his departure, they would have strength assurance.
The women happily roamed around, for them, it was a day of changing destiny; from now on, they could freely exhibit their abilities.
They were more than just vases.
Seeing them so enthusiastic, Tang Feng felt gratified.
After all, he couldn’t accompany them for long.
Just as compensation.
After parting from them, he set up the strongest formation he knew in Nine Heavens Palace, considering it completely sufficient.
Then he went to the Nine Heavens Palace cemetery.
It’s said the remains of all strong figures during Nine Heavens Palace’s peak are buried here.
Yet everywhere were pits and bumps, no tomb remained intact.
Tang Feng scanned the entire site using divine sense.
As expected, nothing remained.
Just as he was leaving, a small fluctuation caught his attention.
A small barrier.
Others would surely fail to notice this.
The barrier’s strength was comparable to the arrays he set up.
Thus he scanned it with divine sense.
Only for the divine sense to be bounced back.
Huh!
Perhaps Nine Heavens Palace’s secret is hidden here.
Considering Nine Heavens Palace had been scoured countless times for hundreds of thousands of years, how could anything remain?
So he approached the barrier.
Actually, he was at one of the grave pits.
The grave pit was about ten zhang deep and fifty zhang wide, filled with rubble, looking chaotic.
Strangely, if there was a barrier, this grave pit should be well-preserved, inaccessible to anyone; but what’s going on?
Perhaps earlier the barrier didn’t reach here, suggesting the barrier is slowly expanding, which got interesting—a different type of energy exists within the barrier.
Tang Feng gently touched the barrier, an energy blocked him like a wall, unable to penetrate.
Stopping him like this, that’s not going to happen.
He initiated the power of time retrospection, continuously pouring into the barrier, as his hand relaxed, Tang Feng knew this barrier wouldn’t stop him.
So he lightly stepped in.
Soon, his sight brightened.
An environment akin to an immortal realm was before him.
And Tang Feng saw an indescribable energy swirl into the barrier, soon the barrier restored.
He didn’t mind; before him, a broad road led straight to a palace in the distance, flanked by vibrant vegetation he’d never seen before, hard not to be captivated.
The road wasn’t dirt, entirely made of massive divine crystal blocks.
If cut out, it would be great wealth.
Clearly, Nine Heavens Palace was once very extravagant.
Tang Feng walked step by step toward the distant palace.
Before the palace, on both sides, stood two monumental divine crystal sculptures—a dragon and a phoenix.
Appearing vividly alive.
A feeling of pleasure washed over Tang Feng as he regarded the majestic dragon and phoenix.
