Upon seeing the state of this ce, Chu Yuan''s facial expression also showed some changes.


    This was a naturally fortified location, surrounded by unyielding defenses, supplied by Emperor-ss mineral veins for energy, and enveloped by violent winds. It was truly a ce that was easy to defend but hard to attack.


    "Your Majesty, I believe this ce is an excellent location for city building."


    Ning Xiuchen exined, "If we establish a fortress here and stockpile our army here, we can mine the mineral veins when it''s peaceful and fortify the city when we''re under attack. Given the natural environment of this location, any invasion by even the most powerful warriors would be repelled. If we set up some protective restrictions, it would be even more formidable."


    "I have the same idea. Using the Emperor-ss mineral vein as the center and expanding outwards, we can gather more resources. If we want to hold our ground in the Divine Mountain, we must establish strongholds."


    Chu Yuan ordered, "Jin Chiyang,e quickly."


    Shortly thereafter, Jin Chiyang arrived.


    With Dawu investing so much in Divine Laws and royal-grade elixirs to expedite his cultivation progress, it was hard for him not to progress rapidly. He had already reached the realm of the Celestial God.


    The benefit of starting a new force was the abundance of resources. Few were strong enough to absorb all these resources, but those who could, would spare no expense in their training.


    To cultivate a single Celestial God, one could''ve cultivated several others elsewhere. The goal was to cultivate powerful warriors in the shortest possible time.


    However, such unfettered growth was inherently unstable and dangerous.


    "Jin Chiyang, I need you to establish a fortress here, to serve as a military stronghold. The army will soon gather here." Chu Yuan stated.


    "The pursuit of a military city is robust defense. The materials required should be as solid as possible. The rarer the better. Upon inspection, we can directly mine the rocks of the Emperor-ss mineral veins. However, to be built in a very short period, our manpower in the refining division is insufficient. It would be best toy down an array, drawing upon the Emperor-ss divine energy.


    For this, we may need the assistance of Artifact Refining." Jin Chiyang suggested.


    Jin Chiyang gave the surroundings a nce.


    As expected from someone who had unlocked the attributes of a top architect, with just a nce, he drew up a blueprint and gave it to Chu Yuan.


    "You decide how much manpower you need, even if you have to draft from the army. You are also free to request aid from Artifact Refining. Now, go and get things done."


    Chu Yuan wasn''t a professional.


    This sort of specialist task should be left to Jin Chiyang.


    Once the blueprint was drawn, the construction of the fortress was promptly initiated. Jin Chiyangmanded the powerful individuals avable to start mining.


    A group of Void Gods and True Gods started mining, while arge number of warriors began constructing the city within the gorge.


    With the aid of so many powerful individuals, the city was built rapidly.


    Within a few days, Chu Yuan saw a sizable city appearing in the valley, and around it were smaller subsidiary cities designed for various functions.


    "A Military stronghold!"


    Those were the first four words that came to Chu Yuan''s mind upon seeing the city.


    This city was not built with civilian considerations. It was constructed entirely with the highest standards of a key military fortification in mind.


    "Your Majesty, please bestow a name upon this city," Jin Chiyang suggested.


    "The violent wind swirls from above, pouring into the storm, let this city be named Windfall City," Chu Yuan proimed.


    "Windfall City?" Jin Chiyang nodded in approval. "Allow me to introduce Windfall City to you, Your Majesty."


    "Please look, Your Majesty, there is the main city and ten subsidiary cities surrounding it, temporarily serving as repositories for supplies, and as barracks for the army. The rocks of this Divine Mountain are robust, capable of withstanding tremendous force. In addition, I have also carved the Spirit Gathering Array."


    Jin Chiyang borated, "Especially in the main city, I''ve inscribed the Spirit Gathering Array."


    "On ordinary days, it can be used for cultivation through the Spirit Gathering Array. In times of war, the divine energy gathered can instantly transform into arge killing formation, drawing from the Emperor-ss vein, filling the city with Emperor-ss divine energy. Not even a Mysterious God would dare damage Windfall City lightly."


    "Well done."


    Chu Yuan was highly satisfied with Windfall City at first sight.


    "This is only the beginning. The process of array inscribing and refining will not stop. The longer it goes on, the more arrays are inscribed, the more impregnable the city will be. Furthermore, if the city cannot be held, detonating this Emperor-ss divine vein could result in catastrophic damage," Jin Chiyang added.


    "Continue to reinforce the city."


    Chu Yuan saw the workers from the refining division entering the subsidiary cities to start the refining of the mined ore.


    The divine stones that were mined were collected by Chu Yuan into the System Space.


    The System Space was so vast that even the entire Divine Mountain could be taken in and it would not be filled, saving transportation time.


    "However, this level of defense is still insufficient."


    The Sky Thunder Gate suddenly hung high in the sky.


    Subsequently, a sea of thunder spread over the valley, blending with the violent wind into a tempest of lightning and wind.


    "With thebined force of wind and thunder, the power is even greater!" Ning Xiuchen eximed. "If we add the force of heavenly fire,bining wind, thunder, and fire, it would be absolutely wless!"


    "I have the Heavenly Fire too!"


    The Fiery Sand of the Floating ughter fiercely leaped, fusing with the wind and thunder. The endless lustrous mes spread out,bining the three violent elemental powers into a colorful chaotic fusion, transforming it into and of cataclysm.


    "Wind, Thunder, and Fire!"


    Ning Xiuchen sternly voiced, "Anyone who dares to invade this ce will surely pay a heavy price."


    "The time to umte resources has arrived. There is no room for dy."


    Chu Yuan said.


    Dawu had imed the Emperor-ss mineral vein and was busy extracting all the resources.


    Time flew by, and a month had psed since Dawu had imed the Emperor-ss mineral vein.


    There had been countless chaotic battles in the world of Divine Mountain, and news from other areas suggested that even some Mysterious Gods had fallen.


    Some ancient forces were even awakening some slumbering Supreme Gods.


    "The second Mysterious God Manifold Puppet has been constructed."


    With so many precious resources in the Emperor-ss mineral vein, Chu Yuan was able to construct the second Mysterious God Puppet.


    You have to say, the Mysterious God Puppet required too much resource. It has been several months since Dawu arrived at the Divine Mountain. The resources gathered barely sufficed to create another puppet.


    However, as time passed and resource collection proceeded smoothly, the pace was bing faster and faster.


    "The mission of "ying a Hundred Gods."


    Chu Yuan looked at the mission progress.


    "Your majesty, after learning about our departure from Jinheshan, Dongchu Forbidden Region also started to move their army towars Windfall City. However, they do not seem to have any intention to attack yet. But, I managed to gather information that a lot of other forces are gathering here. Among these forces are Tianlin Imperial Dynasty, Great Yong Dynasty, me Demon Heaven etc."@@novelbin@@

    Tianhong Celestial God reported.


    "They are waiting for Qingmu Evesting Empire." Chu Yuan said.


    "It seems so. These forces are gathering more and more troops, withoutunching an attack, trying to scare us. They are attracting more and more people here. Some Mysterious God forces, who didn''t have any previous associations with us, have also arrived."


    Tianhong Celestial God said.


    Chu Yuan knew that by holding the Emperor-ss vein, a great location, they might be a thorn in others'' sides.


    "Who are the most restless people?" Chu Yuan asked.


    "Apart from the Eastern Chu Forbidden Region, which is already our enemy, it will have to be the Tianlin Imperial Dynasty. They have gathered arge number of troops. Several of their troops were wiped out by the Demon God Army. Seeing a lot of other forces showing fear, they have sent several more contingents here, with a Mysterious God inmand."


    Tianhong Celestial God reported.


    "So, Tianlin Imperial Dynasty is hopping around, trying to take advantage of the great chaos to get an upper hand on us. It seems the lessonst time wasn''t enough."


    Looking at the mission progress, Chu Yuan remained indifferent. He said, "Just cut them down first."


    "Summon the Divine Army to join me to meet the Tianlin Imperial Dynasty."
