568 Spending Time In Cultivation
The water issue was something I totally missed! At such high altitude, it would look amazing if we had a running river that would fall over the edges of these peaks, forming mighty and breathtaking falls.
Having ores here wouldn’t be a problem. After all this was a mountainous nature. Having water might be a problem.
So I waited on the side, watching Isac taking samples from the rocks scattered over the peaks. I helped her jump from one peak to another until we visited all the peaks here.
I previously assumed there were a hundred here, but I was wrong! The number jumped up to reach three hundred and twenty-three peaks, making this place look more gigantic and enormous.
The real beauty of this place wouldn’t be revealed until the construction process here ended. Yet that would take quite some time indeed.
As she said, we needed first to build floating fortresses and fortify them with sturdy shields. Also we needed to know the true nature of this world and see if we have water here or we had to find another way to get it.
“Let’s get down there,” as we finished here, I led her back to the underneath greenery world.
“Sigh! Can’t believe such beauty is hidden by such a fierce show of nature,” while we were passing through the lightning storm, she sighed.
“It’s what makes that place more special,” I laughed, “besides, what can bolts of lightning do to my chariot?”
“Like I said before, you are just damn lucky!”
“Hahaha!” I laughed while waiting for a few more minutes before we broke through the cloud layer. Once we got through, we returned to the big and empty place of land here.
“What do you think? Shall I make them stop?”
“There are many giant races here!” but unlike what I asked for, she noticed something else, “and there are two aquatic races… Come on! I asked you for these!”
She pursed out her lips, looking like a little girl complaining. With her male face, I couldn’t help but laugh at her weird expression that never fitted a male.
“Ok, ok, I never said I forgot about that,” I said while pointing at these races, “they are just doing their task here to clear land for you and my humans to start working here. So, do you think they should stop?”
“Stop? No way!” unexpectedly, she firmly shook her head, “we need a large, really large space to build our cities and towns at! This area is barely enough for one city and a couple towns! That’s not even enough.”
“Then…”
“Leave them here for a week or so,” she thought, “that means almost half a day at our time, or less, right?”
I nodded and she continued:
“By then, the area we will clear will be enough. After that I’ll take the races I need and lead them back to our world.”
“What about…”
“Don’t worry, drop me down and leave,” she waved her hand as if this was a simple decision to take. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
And when she noticed the weird look on my face, she added, “the time difference will play in our favour. Like this I can not only finish the drawings of the cities and towns here, but also can finish almost half of the designs of your kingdom.”
“Ok,” as she put it this way, how would I refuse. “Will you be safe?”
“Worried about me?” she acted in such a seductive way again, a way that wasn’t even suited for her male face.
“Stop it, I’m worrying over my interests,” I pushed her extended hand away from my face while rolling my eyes, “last time you got a cold feet, remember?”
“Humph! As if one time can be counted,” she harrumphed, turned around and left. I could only sigh, watch her descend and stand on the faint pink ground that had a thick stream of water next to it.
“Go, I’ll be fine,” she waved her hand in farewell, before starting to move around and examine the place here.
I didn’t hurry to leave, waited for an hour or so in the sky, watching what she was doing.
But soon I got to know she was going to be alright. There wasn’t a single threat in this world, and there was everything she needed around.
Plus she had my races here to watch for anything surprising if such a thing happened.
“Come out,” but before leaving, I took out a group of ten dragons, big and fierce ones, “take care of her for me,” I pointed in her direction before they roared and started to soar in the sky.
It seemed these dragons felt how special this place was, as they started to rise and fall, like they were having fun or something.
Then it was time for me to return back.
As I didn’t stay here for so long this time, so when I got back, the situation didn’t change that much.
I looked at the all busy Angelica and her boys before sighing. I had to get used to such a weird time difference between the two worlds, also the difference between the peace there and chaos here.
As I had nothing else to do, I sat on my chariot and decided to start cultivating.
Just like before, once I closed my eyes and regulated my breathing, the gush of the outside energy came in torrents through my right arm.
The secondary dantian there was acting like a bottomless pit. I didn’t know if it would lead to another upgrade of my spiritual energy in the end, or if this was just a benefit from making the connection with the black energy.
Anyway, I spent my time training for long hours until I felt it was enough. When I opened my eyes, I found out that the world outside was peaceful and quiet.
“You were sitting like that for long hours, so I felt it wasn’t appropriate to wake you up.”
Once I stood up, I heard the familiar voice of Angelica from behind.
