117: Chapter 117 [Sky-Piercing Green Oak] and [Ten Thousand Ren Redwood]: Recent Developments in the Outside World

This is the function of the current Professional system.

When a certain skill reaches a certain level, the Professional law runes deep within the mind will verify it.

There are no longer the bonuses one had with ordinary professions.

After stepping onto the path of the extraordinary, everything depends on oneself.

How one designs it, and through which laws one becomes extraordinary, naturally determines what abilities one will possess.

This is also why it is said that the Professional system has greatly accelerated the emergence and perfection of new extraordinary paths.

There are no heaven-defying bonuses, only the recognition of step-by-step progress.

And as an auxiliary profession, the [Heavenly Rune Array Master] has absorbed knowledge from various array domain systems, making its functions quite comprehensive.

It can refine artifacts, extract extraordinary metals, and assist in cultivating the Dao foundation.

Functions such as defense, offense, energy gathering, illusion, detection, communication, suppression, and sealing are all within reach, provided one has comprehended the corresponding law runes to set up such array domains.

Of course, the difficulty lies here; other array domain systems can rely on the special abilities of various heaven-sent treasures to complete arrays.

The most fundamental aspect of the Heavenly Rune Array is the runes with various complex functions; one could say that runes are the foundation of everything.

Of course, high barriers to entry also have their advantages: they consume very few resources.

Just like this [Rootless Array] today, apart from the extraordinary-grade [Green Spirit Jade] and the [Rootless Jellyfish Snow Rabbit] that provides the principles, other materials can be found everywhere.

The true core is the law rune of the minor divine ability; without it, everything is useless.

"Fortunately, through this large-scale environmental modification, the [Rootless Jellyfish Snow Rabbit] should soon become an extraordinary-grade first-tier spiritual plant."

"Moreover, with the appearance of an extraordinary energy-level environment, a large amount of extraordinary materials will also be generated by the law environment."

The demand for resources is gradually being alleviated.

Take [Green Spirit Jade], for instance; it was created by Wang An in the blessed land by using his magic power while simultaneously using the [life spirit primordial qi] within the blessed land.

After the main body returned, the Incarnation used its mental power, now at 28 strands of magic power, to observe the entire Dojo.

The summit of Tianhe Peak has already reached an extraordinary-grade environment, producing one strand of [life spirit primordial qi] every day.

Other core areas of Tianhe Peak are already fully covered with a concentration level of 10. The Spirit Plant Peak and the Affairs Peak, where the stewards are located, are maintained at levels 5-8, while the practice area for new disciples is at levels 3-5.

Before long, the Incarnation arrived at the top of the Spirit Plant Peak, adjusted the array domain to set up a small force field covering the entire summit, concealing it from any potential probing.

Subsequently, it transferred a portion of [life spirit primordial qi] from the summit of Tianhe Peak.

It intended to create a first-tier spiritual field here and plant some of the spiritual plants collected over these past few days.

The space within the blessed land is still too small to support the survival of a large number of spiritual plants.

One must know that a single level 3 spiritual plant requires a space with a diameter of 8 meters.

That level 8 [Rootless Jellyfish Snow Rabbit] requires an even larger space with a diameter of 256 meters.

Some domineering spiritual plants even need more nutrients and compete with their neighbors.

If they hadn't reached the extraordinary grade yet, Wang An even felt they would start fighting each other.

Therefore, given the current size of the blessed land, it is not very realistic to want to plant a large number of spiritual plants.

"However, there is no lack of energy inside the blessed land, so it could serve as a research and cultivation center."

After clearing a large area of land on the summit, it took out the level 7 [pure lotus], level 7 [unyielding rhodiola], and level 8 [Rootless Jellyfish Snow Rabbit] from the blessed land...

There were also the [sky-supporting green oak] and the [ten-thousand-fathom red sequoia], two tall trees that Wang An had specifically sought out in the deep mountains and cultivated using the [Vital Qi] of the blessed land.

The [sky-supporting green oak] tree is tall and straight, with a wide canopy and hard wood.

Within the blessed land, it has the ability to stabilize and strengthen the domain.

Its fruit can strengthen tendons and bones, cleanse the marrow, and change the vessels, making it highly effective for tempering the physique.

In the future, the trunk might be used as raw material for some artifacts.

The Incarnation planted this level 5 [sky-supporting green oak] at the summit of Tianhe Mountain, connecting it to the entire array domain.

It hoped that one day, it would grow into an extraordinary-grade spiritual plant and guard this core location.

The others were planted between Tianhe Mountain and the river valley plains.

When planting, the Incarnation specifically used a force field to conceal them, making it appear as if they had been gathered from the deep mountains.

Because of the establishment of the extraordinary array domain, the Tianhe Dojo is now able to modify the weather and climate of local areas.

It can adjust the environment to allow plants from tropical, frigid, temperate, and other climates to survive.

The [ten-thousand-fathom red sequoia] is a tree that stands straight and tall, reaching into the clouds, forming continuous forests with a majestic aura; it is a tree of the polar mountains.

The Incarnation planted this 300-meter-tall [ten-thousand-fathom red sequoia] on the summit of the Spirit Plant Peak; this tree, with a trunk as straight as a sword shooting into the clouds, has already reached a level 6 life grade.

Under the concealment of the array domain's force field, no one can discover this towering giant tree unless they enter this first-tier spiritual field.

Its bark is as thick as armor and could potentially be used for shields, armor, and other items. What the Incarnation values most is that this single tree can produce a large amount of wood qi.

At the same time, it also has the effect of gathering surrounding water vapor; clouds usually surround it.

The spiritual plants living around it grow even better, making it perfect as the guardian tree for Spirit Plant Peak.

At the same time, other lower-level [ten-thousand-fathom red sequoia] trees were planted on the periphery of Tianhe Mountain as a reserve of extraordinary materials.

This major undertaking naturally sparked a round of discussion among the many students and other service personnel in the river valley plains.

General Wang had been appointed by the Crisis Response Team to reside here permanently, serving as a bridge between the two sides.

Watching the environment of this place change drastically within just one day.

Apart from the heavy snow on the peaks, the surrounding areas were lush and green, filled with tall trees.

The team leader who had brought the 50 students over asked Wang Guowei.

"General Wang, will these large trees that the Daoist Master is planting be able to survive in this kind of environment?"

"How would I know? Perhaps the Daoist Master has his own methods; after all, he has the ability to change the weather."

"Ensuring these plants survive probably isn't difficult for him."

At this moment, General Wang seemed to recall something.

"What is the situation outside now? We cannot contact the outside world here, so we are a bit cut off from news."

"It's the same as always; countries around the world are in a standoff with the ferocious beasts in the Forbidden Zone."

"Major private exploration organizations are constantly growing, and there are even Exploration Teams starting to take on bounties for ferocious beasts."

"Besides that, various countries have seen major breakthroughs in key technological fields."

"Even our country's research into nuclear fusion reactors has been greatly accelerated."

"I believe that within a few years, it will be able to reach the practical stage."

"Furthermore, because some ferocious beasts have recently appeared in the ocean, attacking ships involved in long-distance shipping."

"The state is already speeding up the construction of experimental reactors."

Hearing that shipping was under threat, General Wang asked seriously.

"How is it? Is it serious?"

"It's okay. There were few [job-change stone]s that fell into the ocean to begin with."

"The ocean area is also large enough, and there aren't many strong magnetic environments formed, so the ferocious beasts cannot threaten shipping for the time being."
