Chapter 309: Excavation

Chapter 309: Excavation

Deep EarthSpirit General drew a detailed map and handed it to the leaders of the two sects. The map recorded in detail where the excavation should take place and to what extent it should be carried out. Meng Zhang glanced at it briefly and felt a bit of a headache. Several surrounding mountain ranges were to be excavated, and many peaks were to be hollowed out...

Such a massive project, if placed in the mortal world, would require a mortal king to mobilize millions of laborers and take several years to barely complete. It had been decades since Meng Zhang crossed over, but a phrase he often heard before crossing over suddenly appeared in his mind: "Who has the best excavator technology..."

Unfortunately, this was a backward ancient world, not the high-tech world before his crossing. Of course, this world lacked technology, but it had Cultivators. With their great power, Cultivators could move mountains, change the course of rivers, and overturn the heavens and earth with their own strength alone.

The Taiyi Sect and Qiaoshou Sect, these low-level Cultivators, might not have such abilities, but as long as they were willing to go all out, excavating several mountains was nothing compared to the loss of lives and a direct attack on the enemy's mountain-guarding great formation.

All the Refining Qi stage Cultivators were divided into several teams, led by the high-level members of their respective sects, and were ready to start their arduous work separately.

Jin Wengbo of the Qiaoshou Sect felt that it was beneath the dignity of Cultivators to engage in such work, and the scale of the project was too large. He suggested mobilizing the mortals in their respective territories to carry out this work, especially since they had just occupied a large piece of land near Forest Spring Watch, which had a considerable number of mortals.

As soon as this proposal was made, Meng Zhang rejected it. It wasn't because Meng Zhang was pretending to be righteous and wanted to protect the people and minimize casualties. It was because the entire Endless Sea of Sand, including the vicinity of Forest Spring Watch, consisted mostly of desert and wasteland, with humans scattered in isolated oases.

In less than a day, a small mountain was leveled to the ground. Then, one construction talisman after another was released, and one small giant-like construction worker after another began digging. The huge amount of soil and stone excavated was transported away by the construction workers.

With the help of sufficient talismans, the project progressed smoothly. One small mountain after another was leveled, and deep and large gullies appeared on the ground, cutting the plains into pieces.

The Cultivators trapped in Forest Spring Watch instinctively felt that the situation was not good, but none of them were Geomancers. Cultivators from remote areas lacked insight and experience and couldn't see through the enemy's actions. According to common sense, they should do their best to stop the enemy from doing what they wanted. However, the Foundation Building stage Cultivators of the two sects were watching them closely, leaving no room for them to take advantage. Moreover, they were afraid that this was a trap set by the enemy to lure them away from the protection of the mountain-guarding great formation.

After a heated debate, Guang HuiDaoist made the final decision. The enemy was just playing tricks and must not be fooled. Everyone must remain calm, stick to the original plan, defend the mountain-guarding great formation, and not give the enemy any chance to take advantage. When Guang ZhiDaoist Master returned, it would be the death knell for the traitors of the two sects.

Although Guang HuiDaoist had been verbally tough, he was still a bit worried. He couldn't rest easy until Guang ZhiDaoist Master returned. Since the Flying Swan Sect dared to provoke the Taiyi Sect and other sects to take action, they must have considered the factor of Guang ZhiDaoist Master. Now that they couldn't contact Guang ZhiDaoist Master, they didn't know if he was being held up by something or if something had happened to him.

Of course, Guang HuiDaoist hid his thoughts well in front of everyone. Currently, Guang ZhiDaoist Master was everyone's greatest hope and their biggest reliance. If Guang ZhiDaoist Master really had an accident, the morale of everyone would immediately collapse.

Guang HuiDaoist could only cast aside his worries, force himself to be strong, and try his best to boost morale.
