My Apocalypse Territory-Chapter 462 - 429 Holy Land·Green Shadow

Lord Tang ultimately chose Consuming Crystal.

Sitting in the chair, he watched the progress bar go from 20%, to 40%, to 60%, to 80%... Fortunately, there were no infuriating instances of it getting stuck at 99% or 99.5%.

"Ding! Derivation progress reaches 100%, second-tier large spell ’Endless Thunderbolt’ developed, construction price 80,000 Source Crystals."

Tang Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

After investing nearly three million Source Crystals, if it had not panned out, he thought he would have cried himself to death. If he hadn’t just happened to sell a large batch of equipment to Beiting, he wouldn’t have been able to produce several million liquid Source Crystals.

He looked at the newly formed spell icon.

The ’Destructive Thunderbolt’ was a blue-violet lightning icon, and the ’Endless Thunderbolt’ was represented by several lightning icons overlapping each other.

The spell description read, ’Continuously release destructive thundebolts over a certain area.’

True to the system’s obnoxious nature, the explanation was vaguely put.

Tang Yu wanted to try it out, so he chose to construct ’Endless Thunderbolt’, but as he saw the remaining construction time of 6 days and 15 hours, he couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

"It seems necessary to build a few more spell factories to reduce the construction time."

After the ’Endless Thunderbolt’ research completion, he saw the plus sign disappear, indicating it was fully upgraded.

Tang Yu’s gaze shifted to other large spells.

There was a "+" sign next to each one, and he pressed them out of curiosity... not because he was fidgety, but to understand the different costs of spell derivation... It turned out this knowledge was essential; ’Destructive Thunderbolt’ had the highest derivation price. The other spells were a bit cheaper, but their prices didn’t scale linearly with construction costs.

"Anyway, I’ve got Source Crystals to spare, so why not..."

Tang Yu first tried to derive ’Holy Light Protection’, but he was stuck at 60% completed, and the plus sign mysteriously vanished!

The new spell was ’Second Tier Holy Light Protection (Incomplete)’, with a construction price of 18,000 Source Crystals.

Lord Tang was baffled and finally guessed that there was a missing condition. He needed to collect data from Winnie and other Light Series ability users to continue the derivation.

When he tried to derive ’Extreme Cold Ice Seal’, it also got stuck at the 60% mark. Scratching his head, Tang Yu was about to try again with another spell when he discovered, to his shock...

...

...

...

He was out of Source Crystals!

Poverty made him feel blue and thin!

...

The ’Flying Fish’ Floating Airship sailed through the skies.

Each voyage gathered passengers from the common cabin, VIP cabin, and supreme cabin, amounting to three hundred, but due to the limited number of flights, cabins originally built for four were modified for eight. Additional inner hall tickets were sold, so each trip could carry five or six hundred passengers.

Overloading was out of the question, but once the Floating Airship took off, apart from a few seasoned adventurers who had taken multiple flights, most passengers couldn’t wait to get to the deck, looking up at the azure sky and down at the wispy white clouds.

It gave the deck a somewhat crowded... yet lively feel.

Gong Changping couldn’t afford luxury; he had bought a ticket for the common cabin and occupied a room by himself, unlike others who shared. Even though there were only three of them, the ticket was still priced for eight.

He had been sitting in the cabin for less than five minutes when, urged by his young apprentice, Gong Changping also stepped out onto the deck.

The deck was expansive, divided into several areas. Apart from certain areas marked as "No entry for passengers," they could move freely in most places.

At a glance, the edge of the deck was lined with people. Some were accidentally pushed past the guardrails; Gong Changping’s pupils contracted, but he then noticed those pushed over the guardrails were suspended in mid-air, seemingly blocked by an invisible barrier.

Shortly after, Floating Airship guards came forward to maintain order, separating the crowd and directing the flow of people.

He didn’t lean on the railing, instead, he walked back and forth with his two apprentices, stopping now and then.

The elder apprentice wasn’t naturally gifted, yet he was the most stable, while the younger one was exceptionally talented but somewhat impulsive... Gong Changping shook his head thinking about his strongest second apprentice.

Everyone makes their own choices.

The plump younger apprentice ran back with a small jug of liquor, "Master, please drink."

"Where did this come from?" Gong Changping asked, puzzled.

"From the ship... It’s sold on the floating airship, Master. You’re out of touch with the times."

Gong Changping turned to look and noticed for the first time that a cabin had been built on the deck. Though rudimentary, it was quite distinctive, and they sold everything, with most items related to food. It was surrounded by quite a few passengers. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Some complained about extortionate prices yet couldn’t resist splurging.

Those who could afford to board a floating airship weren’t short of money.

Gong Changping then saw someone holding a jug of what appeared to be liquor, poured a glass, and guzzled it down. The Awakener stiffened in hands and feet, his face shifting colors.

"This liquor... it contains Source Qi! I feel like I’m being carried up to the heavens!"

Gong Changping looked on in amazement. After thinking for a moment, he still poured a small cup and took a sip.

He had never heard of this "Clear Spirit Wine" before. The moment it went down the throat, the rich Source Qi exploded, turning into streams of energy that soaked into his internal organs.

Without further thought, Gong Changping downed two more cups and then sat down cross-legged, starting his Cultivation Skill routine.

The chubby younger apprentice was dumbfounded.

Some passengers who were unaware of the truth thought it was alcohol poisoning and started exerting their energies to expel the toxins. However, it didn’t take long for the passengers on the "Flying Fish" to learn about the "Clear Spirit Wine" and some special food of Green Shadow.

Without exception, all contained Source Qi, and feasting on them could make one stronger; practicing Cultivation Skills with them could significantly speed up the cultivation process.

It was worthy of being called the Cultivation Holy Land of Green Shadow!

Many Awakeners, who like Gong Changping had heard rumors and came to Green Shadow seeking the chance to grow stronger, were now without any doubt.

...

The "Flying Fish" had flown for a total of one hour and thirty minutes from takeoff to landing.

During that time, it encountered thirteen attacks by Flying Demonized Beasts, with varying numbers, but they all arrived in Green Shadow safely and without incident.

Outside the second city wall of Green Shadow, in the western district.

The vast wilderness had become a temporary parking area for floating airships.

Gong Changping disembarked from the "Flying Fish" and noticed two other floating airships parked in the distance, and he couldn’t help marveling at Green Shadow’s strength.

They followed the guide staff walking out, and along the way, they saw many survivors busy at work.

Although this area was outside the city, the weeds had been cleared, hillocks were flattened, creating a broad and even ground. Numerous straight yellow lines had been drawn on it, marking the parking area for floating airships.

Further away, there stood buildings that seemed to be under construction, surrounded by yellow caution tape.

Gong Changping saw several Awakeners by an open foundation, half-kneeling on one knee with hands pressed to the ground, resembling sprinters at the starting blocks.

Surely they weren’t about to race at the edge of a foundation?

"What is that..."

He couldn’t help asking, not expecting the guide staff to answer, "Those are the Architecture Ability Users from the construction team. They are building a resting and waiting area for the floating airships."

No sooner had the guide finished speaking,

The Architecture Ability Users began to exert force, and regular supporting columns slowly rose from the foundation. The foundation below gradually had soil layers laid down... layer by layer, within a few dozen seconds, a three-story building took shape before the astonished eyes of countless onlookers.
