Undead Mage from a Cell

Chapter 488: Chapter 486: Digging Three Feet Deep for Real

[Warning, you have entered the suppression range of the Pillar of Space. Please show the corresponding authorization. If you have no authorization, please exit quickly.]

[Warning! ...]

Upon hearing this voice and seeing the longsword beginning to shift from silver to black, Gu Xi knew there was something wrong here.

He quickly retreated to a position where no warning sounded.

Then, as if a thought struck him, he swiftly pulled out a notebook and began to search.

Finally, Gu Xi did find a mention of the Pillar of Space in the words of those three old men.

It turns out that this space of the Mysterious Academy wasn’t this large initially.

It was brought in by the academy’s principal, or the tuition paid by students, or pieced together from various other circumstances.

This situation is akin to the fusion of Land Titles in Yalidu City.

However, this space is not Death City, nor is there an Elf capable of controlling Death City in operation here.

The integration process inevitably leads to some compression, collision, or similar events.

And unlike other cities, the Mysterious Academy doesn’t open a Satellite City as a fallback option.

If the Mysterious Academy were to be split like that, it wouldn’t be called the Mysterious Academy.

Therefore, the Mysterious Academy would anchor a Pillar of Space at points prone to splitting to ensure suppression.

Such a Pillar of Space is naturally better kept unknown to as many as possible and harder to destroy.

Even the space pillars known to those three old men only amounted to four altogether.

Gu Xi hadn’t expected to encounter such a Pillar of Space.

Unexpectedly, while searching for the Dragon Tomb, he discovered one.

Gu Xi now truly wanted to pull up this Pillar of Space and send this substantial piece of the Dragon Tomb into Yalidu City.

However, Gu Xi eventually suppressed this thought.

He put down the notebook while raising the Cold Wind Staff in his hand.

The Pillar of Space cannot be touched, but he could not pass up the dragon skeleton in front of him.

And these giant dragons, living near the Pillar of Space, even in death, their skeletons still retained a trace or two of the suppression aura from the Pillar of Space clinging to them.

These are the best materials for making Bone Dragons.

Gu Xi had no intention of missing the materials right before his eyes.

Of course, Gu Xi also understood that with his current level of Soul Summoning Skill, he couldn’t directly summon a Bone Dragon.

He raised the Cold Wind Staff, and the Main City Gate housing the Bone Dragon appeared behind him.

Gu Xi transported over the Main City Gate from Amirka’s side.

As the Main City Gate descended, the Ghost Squad rushed out immediately, beginning to gather up everything in front of them.

Dragon skeletons, Dragon Egg Fossils, even the soil on the ground—everything was within their range of packing and carrying away.

Especially the soil here, all dug out and sent into Yalidu City.

”Here, here, and this—all of it sent to Yalidu City, over to the Longgu Laboratory.”

The abundance of dragon skeletons naturally caught the attention of Luna from Yalidu City.

She floated out from Yalidu City, appearing shakily in front of Gu Xi.

”Oh, sir, this plot seems a bit unstable.”

”Over there is the Pillar of Space, used to stabilize this entire space.”

Gu Xi explained to Luna a few words, clarifying the function of the Pillar of Space.

Then Luna floated forward a few steps, taking a distant look at the Pillar of Space.

After which she understood a little and said, ”Sir, they are quite capable; under this Pillar of Space lies the behemoth carrying this plot of land. Not only did their sword slay the beast, but it also pinned it to the ground.

This method is much more ruthless than ours.”

”I don’t feel that way. To have the audacity to seal a Great Monarch within a mirror image, that method, in any case, surpasses this Pillar of Space we see here.”

As Gu Xi spoke, he drew patterns in his notebook under the page about the Pillar of Space, recording Luna’s judgment.

In Gu Xi’s eyes, this was a rather valuable piece of knowledge. Even if it wasn’t used in Yalidu City, such a Pillar of Space would be useful elsewhere eventually.

After all, given Gu Xi’s current circumstances, he would inevitably come into contact with many cities or Land Titles.

Not all cities or Land Titles can merge with Yalidu City.

Ultimately, Gu Xi might acquire a second or even third city.

Or perhaps, like the Mysterious Academy, create an additional, dedicated space.

This knowledge, once learned, is a gain.

While things continued to be transported, Gu Xi could learn more.

As he sketched the Pillar of Space, he remembered to tell Luna,

”When placing those dragon skeletons over in the Longgu Laboratory, do not use them just yet. We now have a Divine Hall, and even more an Azure Temple. I will seize an opportunity to see if we can find the architectural design plan for the Dragon Tomb.

When we construct the Dragon Tomb, these materials will still be needed.”

”Rest assured, I will handle it well. By the way, sir, the Soul Summoning Tower has been constructed; you can deploy the Soul Summoning Tower during battles now.”

Listening to this, Gu Xi smiled slightly, ”Alright, I’ve been waiting for this day. But Luna, you must also put in the effort. I have already learned the Death Lord skills.

I believe I will soon embark on the road to Level 5. Once the level is reached, the level cap of Death City will also be raised.

At that time, if the level of Death City doesn’t catch up, it would be inexcusable.”

”Rest assured, the progress on Di Mi’s side is swift. New territory is about to be conquered. Once the new city district is opened, the experience over there can support Yalidu City reaching Level 6.

At that time, the level of Death City will also elevate.

Moreover, many open plots will appear. With our complete set of architectural design plans, as long as we are given enough time, the level of Yalidu City will soon elevate.”

”I trust you with this matter.”

As they talked, the Ghost Squad finished transporting all the dragon skeletons from this open ground.

Even the soil, just as Gu Xi commanded, had been extensively dug out.

Luna expressed no objections to such requests from Gu Xi.

She had long seen that after the death of the dragons bred here, their corpses turned to blood, and all nutrients were absorbed by the land’s soil.

Now the soil here was filled with energy, squeezing it would drip oil.

With soil like this, even Luna coveted it, let alone Gu Xi.

The dragon skeletons and such would finally be stored and prepared in the Longgu Laboratory.

This soil had no designated place to go, ultimately up to Luna to decide where it would be arranged.

Now Luna wished for more of this soil, having no intention to stop Gu Xi from sending people to dig.
