If the core members of the Hua family wanted to enter the Journey to the West Mystic Realm, they only needed to enter through the family space's Conference Hall. However, if the others wanted to enter, they had to be personally led by Hua Kai or have the original copy of "Journey to the West".
Watching Hua Kai send that disciple into the Samsara Pool, his 35 personal disciples and more than 40 members of the Hua family all quietly watched. Everyone watched as the disciple entered the Samsara Pool and was reincarnated into a wealthy family.
Trial takers had a special glow in everyone's eyes. As long as one's spiritual power was injected into the novel world, they would be attracted to him.
Everyone watched as Hua Kai's disciple was born and quietly waited for him to grow up.
However, after waiting for more than an hour, the baby was only half a month old. Many people began to get impatient. Some of the core members of the Hua family left. This baby still needed more than ten days to grow up. By then, they would be able to see how he would perform in this world.
Hua Kai left the world of "Journey to the West" with his disciples. He handed the original copy of "Journey to the West" to Cao Zirui. The School of Novels only had one magnate now. Hua Kai hoped that his disciple could quickly become a magnate through "Journey to the West".
On the 5th of November, the weather had already turned cold. Hua Kai rode a horse and Chinese Ink to Xia City. All the matters in Gao Liu City were handed over to Xue Chen. Now, the younger generation of the Hua family had been leading the family for half a day.
When Hua Kai arrived at Xia City, he was shocked by the bustling scene in front of him. Although only 30% of the buildings in Xia City had been completed according to plan, and the other areas were all simple wooden houses and tents, there were people everywhere. There were merchants from the north who had not returned home, and there were people who had just migrated from the south. The business district, living district, military district, and administrative district were all very clear. Chinese Ink's achievements in this year's work were worthy of recognition.
In the center of Xia City was the Hua family's inner city. This inner city was only about 100 mu in size. There were no inner city walls, and it was surrounded by a forest and an inner city river. Tall houses had already been built. There were also some palaces. Many Hua family Household Servants and maids were busy.
"Big Brother, the outer area is the Household Servant Area and the Guest Area. We don't have many people in our family, so we'll live in the middle area.
That palace was built for you. Now, only the main hall has been completed. You live there.
This area is where the children of the Hua family live. This row of palaces is my wedding house. The pavilion in front is where the servants live. Over there is a garden. "Chinese Ink introduced Hua Kai to the inner city of Xia City.
This place was more than ten times smaller than the Hua Mansion in High Willow City. However, even though it was small, it had all the essentials. There were mountains, rivers, and pavilions everywhere. It gave one the feeling of being in Jiangnan.
"I'll be settling down in Hua Cheng in the future. I won't come out unless there's something special.
Most of the Hua family's secrets are in Hua Cheng. I have to stay in Hua Cheng to prevent the spying and sneak attacks of Golden Elixir Realm cultivators. In the future, I'll leave Xia City to you. The Hua family's trade center and cultural center will be moved from High Willow City to Xia City. You have the Mountain and River Diagram in hand. Unless a Golden Elixir Realm cultivator comes personally, there's no possibility of Xia City being breached, "Hua Kai said.
The two of them arrived at the new courtyard. All the Household Servants bowed to Hua Kai and Chinese Ink when they saw them. They went to the study room. There were all the sacred books and great works of the Hundred Schools of Thought. Many of the masters of the Hundred Schools of Thought could be seen here. This was a library.
Chinese Ink took out the Mountain and River Diagram and placed it on the table. Hua Kai saw that the number of maps in the Mountain and River Diagram was ten times more than at the beginning of the year. Chinese Ink listened to Hua Kai's instructions and had been working hard to expand the Mountain and River Diagram this year. The problem of transformation was left to Hua Kai to handle.
"Look at this Mountain and River Diagram. This year, you've entered the Eastern Mountain Range quite often. It has already expanded to more than four hundred li to the west of Xia City. As long as I get rid of the deep forest in this area and erect a mountain range here, it can block most of the wild beasts.
Tomorrow, you'll handle the affairs of Xia City well in Xia City. Leave the transformation of the Eastern Mountain Range to me. If you have nothing to do, go to the world of 'Journey to the West' to take a look. It's very useful for improving your realm. "After Hua Kai finished speaking to Chinese Ink, he put away the Mountain and River Diagram.
Early in the morning of November 6th, Hua Kai rode the [Luma] and brought Xiao Qiang and Wukong to the Eastern Mountain Range on the west side of Xia City.
Wukong was now 1.3 meters tall. Its cultivation was at the seventh level of the seventh rank. As long as it didn't encounter a demon that was too strong, it had the ability to escape calmly. However, there was one thing. When it left the High Willow County, it couldn't use the Hua family's luck value to increase its attack power. Therefore, even if it was wandering, it rarely went too deep into the Eastern Mountain Range like Xiao Qiang.
Looking at the rugged mountain range below, Hua Kai's spiritual power entered the Mountain and River Diagram.
He saw that the originally quiet mountain peak began to shake. Some wild beasts and savage beasts were frightened and fled in all directions. The mountain peak slowly sank into the ground, and some deep valleys were slowly filled up.
After becoming a Sage, Hua Kai's spiritual power was stronger than before. In a short while, the tens of thousands of mu of mountainous land under his feet had all turned into plains. Hua Kai began to change places to continue transforming the mountain range.
An hour later, Hua Kai felt that his spiritual power was almost exhausted. There were already hundreds of square kilometers of land under his feet that had been transformed into plains. He began to fly in the direction of Xia City.
Xia City could clearly feel the earth shaking, but many people were already used to it. They knew that the Hua family had a magic treasure that could change the terrain of the mountains and rivers. Which big family didn't have a special spiritual treasure?
After returning to Xia City to rest for an hour, Hua Kai returned to the place where he had just changed the terrain in high spirits. Looking at the mountains in front of him that had been transformed into plains, Hua Kai couldn't help but sigh at the power of the system's spiritual treasure. If the Hua family could defend the High Willow County for a hundred years, then this place would definitely be turned into a blessed spiritual treasure land by the Hua family.
Every day, thousands of square kilometers of land were transformed. Hua Kai used four days to transform more than two hundred li of land in the west of Xia City into plains. Then, he began to transform the mountains on the west side of the plains into a cliff that was a thousand meters high. However, this transformation was not easy.
The higher the cliff, the more spiritual power it required. In order to complete the transformation of the western mountains as soon as possible, Hua Kai first transformed all the mountains to be 200 meters high. Then, after ten days, the transformation of the entire mountain range was only half completed. Snow began to fall from the sky!
Winter had come, but the transformation of the mountain range was not complete. Some wild beasts in the Eastern Mountain Range had begun to gather here. Hua Kai did not dare to rest for long. He went to the easternmost part of the mountain range, the forest closest to Hua City, and sat beside a big tree.
Hua Kai activated the [Will of Fire] between heaven and earth, and the big tree was slowly ignited. He activated the [Will of Wind] to spread the fire to the west, but it seemed to be more difficult to burn these trees.
This was not a problem for Hua Kai. He activated the [Will of Fire] between heaven and earth in front of him, and soon, the entire area was on fire.
Seeing the fire grow bigger and bigger, Hua Kai watched quietly from the side. Some places were about to be extinguished, so he continued to guide the [Will of Fire] to let it burn more vigorously. As the fire grew bigger, the entire Eastern Mountain Range was surrounded by smoke. All the wild beasts and savage beasts fled into the depths of the mountain range.
Hua Kai followed the fire and flew high in the sky. With his help, the fire grew very quickly. He deliberately let some of the trees that were not burned burn for a while longer. This way, the consumption of spiritual power was much less than transforming the mountain range.
The fire burned continuously for a day. Hua Kai watched the fire continue to spread in the sky. At this time, a beast roar came from the Eastern Mountain Range. A demonic beast saw Hua Kai burning the mountain and walked towards him.
Hua Kai did not need to do anything for such a low-level demonic beast. Xiao Qiang went forward and quickly drove it away.
At this time, Hua Kai saw someone flying towards them from the south.
"Hua Kai greets teacher!" Hua Kai saw that it was Sage Ceng Can and hurriedly bowed to him.
"No need to be so polite. Now that you have become a Sage, we are on the same level."
"Hua Kai dares not forget the etiquette between master and disciple!" Hua Kai said.
"After becoming a Sage, you should know that you cannot casually destroy the order of heaven and earth. You cannot destroy the Eastern Mountain Range. This way, if the entire Eastern Mountain Range is burned, a large number of low-level wild beasts and savage beasts will be burned to death. However, the demonic beasts will definitely attack human cities. This will only bring disaster to humans and will not be able to destroy the wild beasts and savage beasts," Sage Ceng Can said to Hua Kai.
"Teacher, the Hua family built a city in the south of High Willow County. It is only 30 miles away from the Eastern Mountain Range. Last year, more than seven million wild beasts and savage beasts gathered here. There were eight demonic beasts, and two of them were mid-level demonic beasts.
The Hua family has a spiritual treasure that can change the terrain. I want to change this 200 miles of land into grassland and use the mountain range to separate Xia City and the Eastern Mountain Range. When the time comes, it will be difficult for wild beasts to come to Xia City, "Hua Kai said.
"In that case, it doesn't matter. You have to control the fire well. If you can't control it and cause too much damage, the negative karma will haunt you for the rest of your life.
After the Qin Emperor, you have the highest chance of reaching the Soul Formation stage. You can't be like the Qin Emperor and lose your chance of reaching the Soul Formation stage! "Sage Ceng Can said to Hua Kai.
"Thank you for your teachings, Teacher. I understand!" Hua Kai cupped his hands and thanked him.
Sage Ceng Can and Hua Kai chatted for a while. The two of them only talked about ideology and academics. They didn't talk about the war in the Central Plains.
Hua Kai knew that his teacher didn't want him to be too involved in the conflict between the Hundred Families and the various countries. However, as the head of the Hua family, how could he escape?
Hua Kai watched as the fire continued to burn. He entered other areas and continued to transform the mountain range. He let Hua Kai watch the area where the fire burned the fastest.
On the 19th of November, the fire burned to the mountain range that Hua Kai had built. It didn't seem to be extinguished at all. Hua Kai guided the power of the Ice Will to extinguish the fire in this area and continued to watch the other areas burn.
During this time, a few more demonic beasts came, but they were all chased away by Xiao Qiang. On the 24th of November, the area of more than 200 miles to the west of Xia City had become a plain.
The western part of the plain was a cliff that was more than 500 miles long. The lowest cliff was more than 300 meters high. All the fire was extinguished by Hua Kai. The transformation of the Eastern Mountain Range was basically completed.
However, the transformation of the mountain range that Hua Kai planned to cover was not completed yet. The cliff that was more than 300 meters high could not stop too many wild beasts. After the fire was extinguished, he continued to transform the mountain range. At the same time, he used the Mountain River Diagram to transfer the spiritual energy in this area to the east of the diagram. When the time came, there would definitely be fewer and fewer wild beasts in this area.
Xia City welcomed its second winter. However, this year, there was the protection of the moat. No wild beasts could be seen outside Xia City. Some sporadic wild beasts appeared outside the moat, but they were all eliminated by the Qilin Army. Seeing that the western part of the city was flat and there was not a single tree in sight, everyone felt more at ease living in Xia City.
Although Xia City was covered in snow, all the construction teams still didn't stop.
Xia City was as warm as spring. The snowflakes that landed in the city melted immediately, turning into land that had not frozen. The construction of various houses continued.
