Chapter 127: Cultivation Tower and Super Teleportation Formation
“Sect, upgrade!”
At Su Bai’s soft command, the Heavenly Dao Sect shook with a thunderous roar, the entire land trembling violently.
Rumble rumble…
The Heavenly Dao Sect upgraded once again. Every building was enhanced, becoming grander to accommodate more disciples.
Especially Heavenly Dao Mountain—it expanded several times over, growing even more magnificent and imposing, now towering nearly ten thousand zhang high!
A mountain ten thousand zhang tall—that’s the highest peak in the entire Southern Ridge. If one’s strength is strong enough and their vision broad enough, standing atop the summit would allow them to overlook more than half of the Southern Ridge!
Having the entire world beneath your gaze—that is such a proud and lofty ambition!
Such a colossal Heavenly Dao Mountain required an enormous foundation. The original mountain, which measured several dozen li in diameter, had now expanded multiple times over.
The previous boundary was no longer sufficient; the entire Yunshui City was pushed outward to make room—otherwise, such a vast Heavenly Dao Mountain could not be contained.
Of course, within the Invincible Domain, the changes to Heavenly Dao Mountain didn’t affect anyone at all. Even Yunshui City remained the same distance from the foot of Heavenly Dao Mountain.
Only the mountain itself had simply expanded!
Everyone looked up—where the mountain peak had been barely visible before, it now soared completely into the clouds, leaving all who saw it in awe!
This is what a true immortal mountain looks like!
Besides the upgrade of all the major buildings, Heavenly Dao Mountain gained two new structures!
One of them was a nine-story tower resembling a pagoda, exuding an ancient, profound aura.
This was one of the reward buildings for upgrading to a 4-Star Sect—the Cultivation Tower!
Su Bai stepped onto the first floor of the Cultivation Tower and immediately felt a wave of pressure fall upon him.
The deeper he went, the stronger the pressure grew, reaching its peak at the innermost depths.
“The pressure on the first floor is designed to simulate the cultivation environment for Qi Refining disciples, pushing them to face even more extreme high-pressure conditions to accelerate their training speed.”Su Bai whispered softly.
This gradually intensifying pressure perfectly suits all disciples, allowing them to choose the level of pressure they can adapt to and then sit down to cultivate.
Some large sects also have similar Cultivation Towers, but not only are they extremely expensive to build, their pressure control tends to fluctuate wildly. Compared to the one in Heavenly Dao Sect, those are essentially useless.
Some sects can’t even afford such a tower, so their sect elders release their own oppressive aura to support disciple training!
The efficiency in those cases is even more disheartening!
There have even been incidents where an elder momentarily lost control of the pressure, instantly crushing a disciple…
The spiritual energy concentration inside the Heavenly Dao Sect’s Cultivation Tower is slightly higher than outside. Training here can significantly boost cultivation speed!
At the deepest point on the first floor, there’s a staircase leading to the second floor.
Su Bai entered the second floor, where the pressure was even stronger than on the first, reaching the level required for Foundation Establishment.
Each floor matches a progressively higher realm, so cultivators of any level can find their optimal training spot.
Su Bai was extremely satisfied with this Cultivation Tower!
With this, the disciples of Heavenly Dao Sect can improve their cultivation speed to an even higher level!
Besides the Cultivation Tower, the 4-Star Sect upgrade also came with another gift:
The Super Teleportation Formation!
The Super Teleportation Formation includes one hundred sub-formations distributed across various locations by the host. It allows people to teleport back and forth freely between the main formation and each sub-formation without any limit on the number of uses. Once activated, it consumes one high-grade Spirit Stone per day!
(All the sub-formations are interconnected—any teleportation formation can reach the location of any other sub-formation.)
This is an unimaginably valuable super reward!
Especially now that the Heavenly Dao Sect rules the entire Southern Ridge, with a vast territory spanning twenty to thirty thousand li in every direction.
Su Bai can teleport at will, but what about the other disciples and commoners?
Not to mention the vast distances—the vertical height alone between the Heavenly Dao Mountain’s summit and its base now measures fifty or sixty li!
Cultivators at the Late Stage of Qi Refining and above can easily fly, but what about those in the early and mid Qi Refining stages, or even ordinary disciples?
Climbing mountains fifty or sixty li high is much more exhausting than traveling five or six hundred li on flat ground!
Sects like the Lingxiao Sect and Yuntian Sect do have some flying demonic beasts for transportation, but their numbers are too small, so they can only accommodate a portion of their disciples.
But now, with the Super Teleportation Formation, all these problems are solved effortlessly!
Su Bai placed the main formation at the mountain summit, with several sub-formations scattered at various points at the mountain’s base and several more at the midsection.
Three sub-formations were set up in Yunshui City, and every city in Great Zhao had one each, with two more placed in the Imperial City.
In the other Six Nations of the Southern Ridge, every city also got a sub-formation—larger cities had two.
Altogether, one hundred sub-formations were deployed, with two still remaining spare!
This not only solved the travel problems for the disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect but also solved the transportation issues for all the people in the Southern Ridge!
Previously, when caravans traveled from one city to another, it took several days, and they had to worry about bandits and threats, hiring sect disciples for protection at great cost, which kept prices high.
Now, with the teleportation formations, the trip from one city to another takes only an instant, greatly reducing costs and allowing Su Bai to lower the prices of many goods.
Moreover, travel for the common people became much more convenient—imagine visiting Yunshui City in the morning to enjoy the scenery of the Heavenly Dao Sect, shopping in the Great Zhao Imperial City at noon, and arriving at the Great Jin Imperial City by afternoon…
As the saying goes, “If you want to get rich, build roads first.” Once “transportation” is convenient and goods move faster, the economy is bound to flourish!
“But free things are never cherished.”
“As for the cost of each teleportation…”
Su Bai fell into deep thought, standing atop the mountain and gazing out over the entire Southern Ridge.
These teleportation formations operate all day, consuming one high-grade Spirit Stone daily.
How much is one high-grade Spirit Stone worth?
It’s equivalent to one hundred intermediate-grade Spirit Stones, or ten thousand lower-grade ones, or more than a hundred million taels of silver!
Roughly equal to the total monthly revenue of the Lingxiao Sect before!
No wonder they say ordinary people can’t afford to use the Teleportation Formation. This is still the formation provided by the System—much cheaper than the ones built by those powerful beings outside.
Calculating at the lowest price of one hundred million taels of silver, that’s a staggering ten trillion wen (Chinese coins)!
How many billions of people are there in the entire Southern Ridge?
Even if the teleportation formations were used one hundred million times a day, to break even, the average cost would still have to be as high as one tael of silver per teleportation!
One tael of silver per trip isn’t much for cultivators; it’s actually quite affordable.
But for hardworking commoners, it’s too expensive—they’d rather walk several more days than pay that.
This was not a scene Su Bai wanted to see.
Standing atop the mountain, he gazed over the countless people of Southern Ridge, watching the steady flow of faith power pouring in, and couldn’t help but smile slightly. He had already settled on a price in his mind.
“Then… two wen per trip it is.”
