Chapter 1115: Chapter 157 World Tree City (5800)

From the very beginning, Ian had always greatly anticipated the appearance of Canaan Moore’s capital, World Tree City.

Come to think of it, he’s not afraid to be laughed at. Ian, back then, had no concept of Terra, this mad world, and mistakenly thought the Imperial Capital was just an ordinary medieval small city. When he actually saw the Imperial Capital, he was naturally shocked by the ultra-technological planetary shield megacity at the end of the century.

Ever since then, he has been filled with awe for every renowned big city in Terra, and World Tree City, a city that shares fame with the Imperial Capital, has made Ian’s heart yearn all the more.

——What kind of outrageous city will it be? I’m really looking forward to it.

With such anticipation, Ian spent quite fulfilling two days on the skyship with some friends.

On the first day, Chairman Yafarda had to leave his family’s skyship for some business, while Ian exchanged news about the ‘Arcane Pathway’ with Yisen Gard in the Domain of Void.

Actually, Yisen Gard already knew about the Meditation Technique and the Essence Furnace Core’s existence, but this entirely new Cultivation Method was hard to teach with mere words in its nascent stage; Ian had to personally demonstrate it once so others could understand what should be done.

Simply put, it’s like without guidance, few can ‘quickly’ get the hang of some complex board games by mere rulebooks. In reality, even with guidance, it’s very hard for those with dull aptitude to learn.

But Yisen Gard is indeed a genius; he was originally an outstanding Alchemist regarded as a future Alchemy Master, and naturally, he wouldn’t be lacking in the aspect of the Sublimation Bloodline. Not to mention, his journey to the South Sea Great Labyrinth has tempered his will, soul, and thought patterns, which have formed, and entering the Second Energy Level was just a matter of course.

The Essence Furnace Core might need some time, but as for the Meditation Technique, Yisen Gard learned it on the same day, even faster than the Green Tide.

“Actually, it’s the advantage of my Bloodline.”

In Ian’s Spirit Energy channel, Yisen Gard said with slight humility, “The Eclipsing Light Refining Dragon Bloodline requires micro-control, and the soul engraving of the Meditation Technique… honestly, controlling my Bloodline to build the Origin Quality circuit isn’t too difficult.”

“However…”

Even though it was in the Spirit Energy channel, Yisen Gard lowered his voice, “Are you not planning to teach this to Anfa and Sio?”

“Sio’s Dragon Soul structure is too special. I think we should learn Sio’s soul structure instead of the reverse. Of course, I’ve taught it since the calculation structure of the Meditation Technique is quite advanced, allowing Sio to learn is never a bad thing.”

Ian said, “As for Anfa, her identity is relatively special — although I knew she might be from a prominent family, I didn’t expect her to be a princess of the Ashlight family.”

This was indeed somewhat surprising. Ian originally thought Anfa might be a key nurtured disciple of a prominent family but didn’t think she was one of the Blood of the Ten Kings, the apple of the eye of the Ashlight family’s patriarch — of course, she might also be a prodigy within the family, mainly depending on what gender Anfa wants to choose.

Now Ian has to be more cautious… recruiting a child of a prominent family and recruiting the first heir of a prominent family isn’t the same level of difficulty and danger.

Even though the other party has a great relationship with Sio and invested in Xiawei Territory, the Arcane Pathway still needs to be approached with caution.

“So you haven’t taught?”

Yisen Gard keenly noticed this, and Ian nodded, “Even you were only taught today, let alone Anfa. Why are you concerned about this?”

“Nothing.”

Although Yisen Gard seemed in high spirits, Ian couldn’t understand why Yisen Gard was happy.

The closer they got to the central part of Canaan Moore, the more towns there were, and the climate got warmer and more humid. Within the vast plains located between the Thirteen Rivers Basin and the Sudden Rain Wetlands, the notion of ‘heat’ doesn’t exist, only a perpetual spring-like coolness and humidity.

Even as Ian stepped out occasionally to feel the wind while on the skyship, he could still sense the humidity in the air; it was a moisture that could almost be wrung out from the air. If an ordinary person lived here, they might even feel chest tightness, surrounded by rain clouds, light gray clouds gathering above the forest, stirring the weather known as the Southern Territory’s drizzle.

Ian initially thought such a climate would persist, with World Tree City being a city located in the humid and southern rainforest, which seemed cool and fit Ian’s imagination of Elves and World Tree City.

But in reality, it was not so.

After the skyship crossed the Norglara Pass, that is the man-made mountainous area encircling World Tree City, the scenery suddenly changed.

The land and sky once covered by endless greenery and misty clouds suddenly transformed, with the humid rainforest disappearing, replaced by a warm, lush grasslands not entirely overtaken by the rainforest — perfect temperature, perfect ecosystem, perfect woods and grasslands, forming a perfect ecological zone in Ian’s view.

What does perfect mean? It means everything is available, everything is suitable, not too much, not too little; an ecosystem sufficient for life propagation without hindering the survival of life in other ecological zones.

Streams, lakes, man-made mountain ridges… snowfields in the ridges, foothill zones beneath the ridges, plains, and parts of jungles, and the fringes of rainforests… after the Norglara Pass, everything is perfectly beyond human imagination. It is a land where any life can find a place suitable for its survival.
