Chapter 791: Chapter 453: Beiyuan Immortal City (Thanks to the Alliance Leader of Summit Indomitable Cold)_1 Chapter 791: Chapter 453: Beiyuan Immortal City (Thanks to the Alliance Leader of Summit Indomitable Cold)_1 Chen Mobai was unaware that Zhou Shengqing had already resolved the issue of the Liquid Gold Jade Rejuvenation Pill.
He was now deeply immersed in the joy of city construction.
Lu Daoda’s abilities were exceptional. It took him only half a month to complete the exploration of the entire North Abyss Mountain, including its surroundings.
However, his drawing skills were mediocre. From the perspective of the Eastern Wilderness, the map he produced was already very precise and standard. But to Chen Mobai, accustomed to printed details, it still seemed a little rough.
But these were minor issues. After obtaining the terrain survey map of North Abyss Mountain, Chen Mobai began to come up with a comprehensive plan to build a city at its core – a city that could irradiate the Rock and Sky Countries.
For this, he again dispatched Lu Daoda on a long-term task to redraw the maps of the two countries by his standards.
Although Chen Mobai had not studied planning and design before, his powerful Divine Sense as a Rank-8 Foundation Establishment cultivator, combined with his consumption of Enlightenment Tea and Snow Needle Immortal Bud, greatly enhanced his learning ability.
With the resources gathered from the Blue Emperor’s account about the layouts of various heavenly cities, and after returning to the Dance Tool Dao Academy to consult with the teachers of relevant courses, Chen Mobai, after studying carefully for a month, had already become well-versed in this field.
He personally drew a grand city plan map with an immensely Celestial aspect.
“Junior Brother Chen, are you planning to build a celestial city?”
When Yue Zutao came to have tea with Chen Mobai, he saw the large blueprint spread out on the floor. The precise and fine lines and dimensions, from the plan to the elevation and then to the cross-section, as well as all sorts of intricate detail drawings at various nodes, caused a vast and grand, yet orderly and neat enormous city to instantly emerge in his mind. He couldn’t help but show a shocked expression.
“It’s not quite a celestial city, I just want to create a city that’s orderly and suitable for cultivators to reside and exchange knowledge in.”
Chen Mobai shook his head. He knew that in the Eastern Wilderness, only the headquarters of the Five Elements sect during the time of the old Hun Yuan ancestor dared to claim the title of ‘Celestial City’.
Yue Zutao used to be a disciple of the Five Elements sect and grew up in the Hun Yuan Celestial City, so he had deep memories of it.
But even that Hun Yuan Celestial City, when compared to the Northern Abyss City in Chen Mobai’s blueprint, was like the difference between the heavens and the earth, akin to comparing a sophisticated courtyard with a grass hall.
It was not an issue of the area size, but rather, there was a huge gap in the arrangement and order of the initial plans.
In Yue Zutao’s thoughts, one was like a skyward major road, and the other was like a small country lane.
This was quite normal, since the overall plan for the Northern Abyss City had been done by Chen Mobai according to the standards of Wangwu Dongtian, the capital of the Celestial realm. As such, when expressed on the blueprint, it looked like a heavenly city in the eyes of Yue Zutao, a resident of Tianhe Realm.
The reason why he could design such a city is because the Eastern Wilderness is vast and sparsely populated, making the hardest aspect of capturing land in the Celestial realm a non-issue here.
Chen Mobai was only afraid that after the Northern Abyss City was built, it might become a ghost city due to a lack of population.
“First, make a comprehensive plan before starting. With the manpower we have here now, it is impossible to achieve what’s drawn on the blueprint. I plan to first establish a trade market in the core area, and then gradually expand to the outskirts as the number of cultivators increases.”
Chen Mobai and Yue Zutao were close friends who knew each other well, and the latter was also very creative. As soon as Chen Mobai started talking, Yue Zutao already had a rough understanding of his ideas.
“Making ample preparation before doing something, following the plan and advancing step by step, with Junior Brother Chen providing the overall insights, everyone else will find things much easier.”
Yue Zutao expressed his understanding of planning amidst his admirations. He squatted down to scrutinize the blueprint of the Northern Abyss Celestial City drawn by Chen Mobai, constantly asking questions.
Once the overall blueprint was ready, subsequent matters became much easier.
All that was needed was to keep following this grand direction, stick to the main points, and continuously supplement the details.
In a short while, Yuan Chiye and Zuo Hongqiu were also summoned by Chen Mobai.
“Elder Brother Yuan, in order to establish the Northern Abyss City, some territories still need to be leveled and developed. I’ll need you for this task.”
Due to the great powers of cultivators, even moving mountains and filling rivers were possible tasks. When designing, Chen Mobai was bold enough to choose to level some small hills that could have interfered with the city’s traffic routes.
However, for the central North Abyss Mountain, he had adhered to the planning principles of harmony with nature and unity of heaven and man, and spread out to develop in all directions along this majestic Spirit Mountain.
The market for the first phase of Northern Abyss City would be located at the foot of this Spirit Mountain.
The thousands of acres of Spirit Fields and medicine fields that the Ji family had spent hundreds of years cultivating lay to the east and west. For now, Chen Mobai didn’t touch these, waiting to include their development in the city’s construction plan in the future if the market couldn’t meet the demands.
Construction of the market was also crucial in Eastern Wilderness.
After all, according to Chen Mobai’s thoughts, this Northern Abyss City might serve as a major base camp to confront the Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace in the future. If the defense is not strong enough, not only will the cultivators in the city be worried, but Chen Mobai himself will also not feel safe.
“Sister Zuo, what kind of formation do you think is most appropriate to set up?”
For professional matters, he asks professional knowledge. Chen Mobai asked Zuo Hongqiu politely.
“The simplest is naturally our sect’s ‘Array of Ten Thousand Woods’. As long as Qingyang Spirit Trees continue to be planted, the power will become greater and greater. Perhaps following Junior Brother Chen’s plan, we could turn North Abyss Mountain into a second Giant Tree Ridge.”
