Chapter 206: Chapter 208: No One Expected the Mage Tower to Transform

“The territory can still change?”

Zhu Ming’s expression was odd. Everyone knew about Qin Muye’s rebuilding of his territory, including the native residents and other lords, especially since Qin Muye hadn’t kept it a secret from anyone.

But when it was finally completed, Zhu Ming was shocked. The transformation from an ordinary Mage Tower to a Floating City in a Different Plane was no small feat.

He knew of Different Planes and Floating Cities, but combining them was something extraordinary.

Zhu Ming was also envious of the considerable Floating City’s capabilities to fly, float, and even perform spatial teleportation. The difference between a movable territory and an immobile one was substantial.

“I didn’t expect the lord of the Red Wind Territory to be so surprising. Perhaps I could ask him to help in reconstructing?”

By then, Zhu Ming had realized why the other had been staying within his territory, neither expanding nor developing new territories. It turned out he had been planning a striking move.

This time, he indeed surprised everyone.

Moreover, the movement speed of this Floating City was faster than the ship-type territories in the Rich Ocean and had fewer restrictions.

A ship-type territory could move but only in the ocean, whereas a Floating City could fly anywhere. Where couldn’t it go?

If his Holy Dragon Nest territory could do the same, then perhaps he would have a fighting chance when facing the Ancient God Revival?

This thought excited Zhu Ming, and even if he couldn’t defeat the Ancient Gods, his territory’s ability to fly would at least make escaping no major problem.

For now, he could only communicate with Qin Muye through the chat channel, as the other was using his Floating City to clear out a large number of Ancient God’s Minions and Ancient God Relics among other activities. Thinking about it, it was quite normal, given the convenience it offered.

However, just as this thought arose, a new idea emerged. If he really let the other design it, spending a substantial amount of resources wouldn’t be a problem, but the real issue was that his territory’s intelligence could leak. Moreover, if the other left a backdoor in his Floating City, wouldn’t he be at his mercy?

“I need to think of a foolproof plan.”

As for relying on oaths, they were completely unbinding unless guaranteed by the “Lord Era.” Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so hesitant.

At this point, Zhu Ming had extinguished his thoughts of recruiting Qin Muye. Although the other’s Rank was somewhat lower, he couldn’t be judged by ordinary standards.

Zhu Ming had seen the Building blueprints of the Floating City himself; he had seen them several times in the selections but had not exchanged them, as a flying sub-territory was of no use to him.

But Qin Muye’s move to make his main territory fly was unheard of.

More importantly, the weapons installed on the Floating City were extremely powerful, certainly much more so than the Alchemy Cannons in his territory.

The entire Floating City must have cost a pretty penny; otherwise, couldn’t he be living quite tightly?

If he were to let him redesign it, it would probably cost him a big chunk of his fortune.

Qin Muye’s territory was Rank 4, just a bit more than the Red Wind Plain, but he was now Rank 6. Even without the sub-territories, his territorial size was that of a nation. To transform it all into Floating Cities, resources would definitely be an endless pit.

This was another reason for his hesitation.

It couldn’t be possible to transform only the core region into a Floating City.

Moreover, another important factor was the difficulty of advancement. Just advancing the Holy Dragon Nest was already challenging enough; further advancements might make him lose his top position.

Eventually, after much contemplation, he decided to first make contact and discuss the situation.

Otherwise, if he just impulsively went ahead, it would be an extremely resource-draining task, not something just a bit of resources could solve.

Didn’t you see that Qin Muye’s booming arms trade had been depleted?

Qin Muye didn’t know this, otherwise he would have said his Floating City had not only depleted his arms trade but also consumed a massive amount of resources from a different world.

…

“Floating City? I didn’t expect someone to transform the nature of their territory so early,” Yang Feiyun was a bit baffled.

In cases like this, he vaguely remembered that in his previous life, it wasn’t until a server reached Rank 8 that such a feat was possible, allowing a territory to gain mobility, which was something all Lords envied.

Take his Wisdom Oak Territory for example, it could also animate into a Wisdom Tree, which would then be able to move his territory, though slowly. But a massive tree whose branches could block out the sun, sweeping everything in its path—even a Rank 8 troop might perish under it.

However, this could only be achieved at least at Rank 8. Although he was preparing for this, and had prepared quite a bit, he still lacked the critical animating items, all of which were Epic items and not yet producible.

“It seems the other party didn’t rely on animating their territory but directly transformed their Mage Tower into a Floating City. They really went all out. It seems that because of my rebirth, a remarkable person has survived,” he said.

Yang Feiyun was also somewhat emotional; he hadn’t anticipated such a significant change.

However, thinking that the other party had been able to hold on with just Rank 4 abilities until now, it wasn’t possible without considerable skill, although this skill kept surprising him beyond his expectations.

About the Different Plane Floating City, Yang Feiyun wasn’t too envious. His future Wisdom Tree’s powers were certainly not weaker than those of this Floating City. If it really came down to a confrontation, the Floating City might not necessarily win.

“But where did the other party get that item from? I’ve never heard of such an item in my previous life.”

“Although he was always building, it couldn’t possibly be transformed from a Floating City, could it?”

Floating City, a Rare Level building blueprint, a domain-type building that was a real pain to deal with—not only did it require a huge amount of resources to build, but more importantly, after building, it needed to be re-developed. It could Advance, but its Reserve Magic Power was insufficient, it could only float in the sky, and moving was out of the question.

Every movement consumed a vast amount of Reserve Magic Power, and wasn’t even fast, nothing like the opponent’s Different Plane Floating City that moved as fleet as the wind, utterly unconcerned about the lack of Reserve Magic Power.

“It’s quite improbable, perhaps they obtained an Epic Floating City blueprint, otherwise it wouldn’t be perfect.”

As for self-building, he didn’t have many thoughts, because changing the nature of the domain must be based on self-building. He wanted to animate his Wisdom Oak Territory into a Wisdom Tree Territory and would need quite a bit of self-built items to animate it on this basis; otherwise, even if it were animated, it would just be a tree person, not a territory.

…

“Who would have thought that the Lord of Red Wind Territory actually had such a good opportunity? It looks like I need to make his acquaintance and have a look at his Life Script, just in time to snatch some opportunities.”

Bai Qingyun’s expression flickered, and he also had some regrets. Previously, knowing that this Lord of Red Wind was somewhat extraordinary, he hadn’t taken it too seriously. But after the emergence of the Different Plane Floating City, he realized it too late.

“This is definitely a person of great destiny, first obtaining the Crimson military series of resource buildings, then the Ancient God Vaccine and Ancient God Special Medicine, and now this Different Plane Floating City that lets the territory float. There may be even more opportunities in store for him in the future.”

Qin Muye acted low-key, but every act was significant, just because of his low Rank, so Bai Qingyun had never taken him seriously, thinking what good could come from someone of such a low Rank.

But this time, it changed his opinion. If he could obtain it and directly lift his Monster Maze Territory to Ascension, he wouldn’t be confined to the Underworld anymore; wouldn’t the whole world be his for the taking then?

Perhaps he could use this Power to completely free himself from his awkward position.

But no worries, just wait for an opportunity to check the other party’s life trajectory, perhaps he also has some remarkable Scripts on him as well.

He had also intercepted the opportunities of people like True Dragon Emperor and Exorcist, but these people seemed completely unaffected, as if even being intercepted by him, they could still find better things.

He envied, was jealous and hated this; he had to fight tooth and nail for opportunities, whereas others were naturally blessed with them, a vastly different treatment from his own.

“Find a reason to meet this Lord of Red Wind Territory, just use the Floating City as the reason.”

“I don’t know if he’ll meet me. This Lord of Red Wind seems to have left his territory only once during a meeting called by the True Dragon Emperor, and never at other times. He’s really cautious.”

“If the mountain won’t come to Muhammad, then Muhammad must go to the mountain.”

“If he won’t come out, I’ll just go and meet him.”

To intercept the other party’s opportunities, Bai Qingyun was ready to go all out; maybe the opponent’s subsequent opportunities could turn his own fortunes around.
