Chapter 816: Chapter 815: Rebuilding the Spirit Gathering Array
Jiangbei, Bear Mountain District, Yunwu Mountain’s Base.
Since the last time the Chu Family and Zhuge Cang seized control of Yunwu Mountain’s Base, the Spirit Gathering Array here has been completely destroyed.
After Zhuge Cang fled, the Five Elements Thousand Mechanism Formation left here could no longer be maintained, and although the Chu Family later sent Central Battle Zone elites to guard it, it no longer had the spiritual energy it once had.
Of course, even without the Spirit Gathering Array or the Five Elements Thousand Mechanism Formation, the unique location of Yunwu Mountain Valley naturally absorbs the spiritual energy spilling from the Hidden Sect Plane, making it relatively rich in spiritual energy compared to other places.
Yang Fei returned to Yunwu Mountain’s Base accompanied by Hu Lizhong.
In addition, Tong Yunshu, Zhu Tianshou, Wang Lei, Xu Jian, Umekawa Taro, Xu Yunshan, Xu Liangyou, Xu Xiao, and others also followed along.
Except for Hu Lizhong, these people are not part of the Divine Continent Military Department, much less under the jurisdiction of the Military Department, but they came because of Yang Fei’s influence to temporarily reside at Yunwu Mountain’s Base.
Hu Lizhong led the Military Department team, with Xiang Yunfei as the deputy leader. Hu Lizhong came to assist Yang Fei in reconstructing Yunwu Mountain’s Spirit Gathering Array and maintain the spiritual power supply for the reactor, so Xiang Yunfei took charge of military defense, logistics, and other complex matters.
Before coming to Yunwu Mountain, Yang Fei met with Yang Hao and Huang Qiaoqiao, and also with his second aunt and Yang Wen.
Yang Wen returned to school.
Although the global situation is tense, the Divine Continent Country still maintains its original rules and order, with schools, hospitals, factories, and other essential societal groups running as usual.
Yang Fei wanted Yang Hao and his second aunt’s family to stay in the Imperial City, but his second aunt said she wasn’t used to living in a big city and wanted to return to Yang Family Village in Huangyang County, where she was familiar and where his second uncle’s grave is.
Yang Hao and Huang Qiaoqiao were also accustomed to life in Huangyang County. With the Mo Family’s secret support, Yang Hao’s construction business was thriving, allowing him to live more comfortably and freely in a small place.
Huang Qiaoqiao even said that in life, one doesn’t necessarily need to pursue great wealth. As long as she can live with the person she loves, with no worries about food and clothing, that’s happiness.
She also said that her big brother and Qin Yanyang are the pillars of Divine Continent, celebrated globally and admired, enjoying glamorous lives with VIP experiences, which indeed is enviable. But for ordinary folks like us, not having to fight wars, being able to gather with family in peace, is the most beautiful life.
Huang Qiaoqiao’s words surprised both Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang. Sent to Huangyang County afterward, Qin Yanyang enviously remarked, "If I were born into such an ordinary family and married a man who only loves me, living so simply and joyfully for a lifetime would be wonderful."
Yang Fei glanced at her and saw true envy and longing in her expression, knowing she genuinely admired Huang Qiaoqiao’s lifestyle.
Because Qin Yanyang had often said before, when with him, that what she longed for was a life of traveling the world after retirement.
Even now, reminiscing with Qin Yanyang, Yang Fei finds the times living at Binhai Villa peaceful and joyful.
Life then seemed less eventful and exciting but was most real in its simplicity.
"That kind of life will soon come," Yang Fei assured Qin Yanyang.
That afternoon, Yang Fei took Tong Yunshu and got in touch with Hu Lizhong and Zhu Tianshou in the Imperial City, flying straight to Yunwu Mountain’s Base.
He also called Wang Lei, Xu Jian, and Umekawa Taro, along with the three Xu Family members far in the south, asking them to head to Bear Mountain District.
Though the previous battles were fierce, they did not cause substantial damage to Yunwu Mountain Valley.
However, the Spirit Gathering Array set up by Yang Fei was secretly sabotaged by Zhuge Cang, turned into the Five Elements Thousand Mechanism Killing Array, causing near disaster for Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang.
Returning to this familiar place, Yang Fei and others entered the valley range, and Zhu Tianshou, Wang Lei, Umekawa Taro, and Xu Jian were amazed, marveling at how such a Cave Heaven Blessed Land existed.
Even destroyed, it still retains some spirit gathering effects, coupled with Yunwu Mountain’s Base being a huge spiritual energy basin, astonishing first-time visitors.
"Yang Fei, are there more places like this Earth Space?" Wang Lei asked curiously amid his amazement.
Umekawa Taro and others looked towards Yang Fei.
"I don’t know. Within a few hundred miles around, there is no other place like this. This is still the Shennong Mountain area. If it were smaller mountains, such places might be harder to find," Yang Fei replied.
Umekawa Taro nodded, saying, "Indeed, Japan has nowhere as spiritually abundant like this."
Wang Lei laughed heartily, "Umekawa, are you joking? Japan’s islands are too small, without decent mountains, incomparable to the vast Great Divine Continent."
Umekawa Taro twitched his lips speechlessly, "Nothing can be done; fertile lands are limited, and Great Divine Continent is naturally blessed with ample Cave Heaven Blessed Lands."
Hu Lizhong coughed, saying, "Let’s stop discussing topics that discourage unity."
Umekawa Taro laughed heartily, "Brother Hu, rest assured, Wang Lei’s words are true. Though I’m Japanese, I’m not offended by such words."
Hu Lizhong smiled lightly, glancing at Yang Fei.
Hu Lizhong understood why Yang Fei brought Zhu Tianshou and the Xu Family here, but including a Japanese made him feel awkward.
Non-my kind with different hearts, especially being Japanese?
Yet Yang Fei brought him, and Minister Qin didn’t object, so he had no reason to say more.
Moreover, he noticed that Yang Fei, Wang Lei, Umekawa Taro, and others shared a close relationship, likely due to the ’International Madman’ organization they formed.
Entering Yunwu Mountain Valley, Yang Fei led everyone around, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.
Hu Lizhong impatiently asked, "How is it?"
Yang Fei replied, "The foundation is intact, and many talisman array foundations can still be used."
Hu Lizhong sighed in relief, saying, "That’s good. I was worried that old man Zhuge might have messed up the feng shui here. As for array foundation talismans, you needn’t worry, as the Minister has been collecting exquisite jade stones, sending ample materials, which should suffice."
Yang Fei laughed, shaking his head, "Not necessarily."
Hu Lizhong was puzzled, looking at Yang Fei.
Yang Fei pulled out a dark wooden stick from his coat.
Hu Lizhong’s eyes brightened, "Fusang Wood?"
He had witnessed Fusang Wood’s magic before.
This ordinary-looking dark wood strip resisted Zhuge Cang’s thunderbolt strikes, and when faced with sharp weapons, did not bear a single mark.
Not needing to know its value, Old Hu realized the black wood was an extraordinary treasure.
"With Yunwu Mountain’s basin as the array eye center, next I want to set up a truly large-scale Spirit Gathering Array. Its size and covering range depend on how powerful this Fusang Wood is," Yang Fei said, his eyes gleaming, eagerly looking at the Fusang Wood.
