As Zhou Fan looked upon the Huang Long academy, he was filled with a sense of pride and satisfaction. The Huang Long academy is likely the biggest building to ever exist.
After all, not anyone could build such a place, nor find materials that could hold so much weight.
However, Zhou Fan wasn't done. He still needed to lay out some formations.
First, he would need a Qi producing formation. Then, he would need a defense formation, and finally, he would need a luxury formation, which would produce cool air, and good weather.
As he considered where to get the metal needed, he had an idea. Instead of making a formation on metal, couldn't he simply write it on the ground.
He would call it an array! Zhou Fan immediately got to work on his idea. Since he had no idea if it would work, he started with the least important defense array.
Since the ground was already hard from his earlier compression, Zhou Fan didn't need to do anything to it. He was able to fly around and make invisible lines with his Qi on the ground.
The array was much bigger and complex than the formations he made earlier. That was both due to the fact that it was naturally bigger and that he wanted it to be much stronger.
In other words, Zhou Fan was putting all of his effort into building the strongest array possible.
It wasn't long before Zhou Fan was about to complete it. However, right before he finished, he had an idea.
What if he connected it to the Dao? That would make it both formless and much more powerful.
Of course, he could only possibly connect it with the mortal Dao. With the thought, Zhou Fan made an extra long line that reached the core of the earth and absorbed the Dao energy that it was giving off.
As he did, the entire array was powered up. Zhou Fan was ecstatic as he realized that it was 10 times stronger than before.
With the revelation, Zhou Fan made the Qi producing array and connected it to the Dao. Like the previous array, Zhou Fan made it with all the concentration and every bit of effort that he had.
With it connecting to the Dao, it produced an amount of Qi that even Zhou Fan approved of. He estimated that it was a fifth of the amount he would personally give off.
As he completed the final array, the luxury array, the Huang Long academy was officially finished.
All that was left was to get the staff and the students. Although he finished faster than he predicted, the emperor should have gathered a few already. After all, it's been over a month.
Zhou Fan then left for the empire. Along the way, he paved a road to the wasteland. He also made some ponds and lakes so that travelers could get water on their way.
After all, the academy was in the center of the wasteland. Without natural water, it would be hard to survive across the route.
Once he made it to the empire, Zhou Fan estimated that it would take even an imperial carriage over a year to make it. After all, it was on the other side of the world.
Therefore, before he picked up the students, he made a pit stop and worked on some automatic carriages that worked on spirit stones. 1 spirit stone would be enough to last an entire journey back and forth, so the emperor wouldn't have to worry about the cost.
For the final stop before he reached the empire, Zhou Fan went back to the cave. When he got there, he collected Cao Lin, the beasts, and 3 talented juniors from the 10 races.
Each of them had a talent of 95 or more, and the most talented, Cao Mizu, was not only Cao Lin's daughter, but had a 98 talent.
Although it was only a three point difference from the rest, the three points would be a gap the others may never be able to cross.
Before leaving, Zhou Fan went to the barbarian race. As he had used the other crystals to make spirit stones, all the other races had moved here. Only the last big crystal hanging from the ceiling provided light to them.
Unfortunately, Zhou Fan was going to take it to power the arrays at the academy. Although they were powered by the Dao, the crystal would serve as a slight relief from the Dao's stress.
The good news, however, outweighed the bad news by a lot. Since they didn't have anywhere left in the caves, Zhou Fan decided to bring them up to the surface.
In fact, he would bring them back to the paradise he created.
However, except for Cao Lin and the three talented disciples, the rest of the races wouldn't stay in the academy and would instead stay outside of it.
Even though it sounded bad, the area was still a flourishing oasis that they would surely appreciate. If they were willing, Zhou Fan was willing to even give them some working positions in the academy.
Zhou Fan didn't bother to announce his intentions as he surrounded every living being in the cave with an unbreakable bubble. They panicked at first, but they calmed down once they realized it was Zhou Fans doing.
With the beasts, Cao Lin, the three disciples, and the rest of the 10 races, Zhou Fan flew off to the mortianiel empire.
When Zhou Fan reached it, he didn't disperse the bubbles around everyone as it would be a quick trip. When the citizens of the mortaniel empire saw the floating bubbles with no humans in them, they started to freak out.
As they were doing so, Zhou Fan entered the palace and met the emperor. When he requested the talents, the emperor nodded and ran to get them. As he passed by the chaotic crowd, he calmed them down with a quick speech of how it was God's actions.
Before long, the emperor could be seen entering the palace with 10 men and women behind him.
