The commotion caused by the appearance of the Inheritance Hall was not small. That was especially true after seeing the response of the Heavenly Dao will.
It was not rare for a ruin to appear, but it was unheard of for one to appear in every city in the Great Desolate.
And it was not just major cities, even the small backwater places also received such towers and it was unprecedented.
It was not hard to imagine how powerful such ruins were just from these facts.
And it indeed got the attention that Wen Qi wanted.
The higher-ups of every city were on high alert as they sent scouts to see what was going on in those ruins. Normally, they would not pay much attention to such things, but the Inheritance Hall was just too mysterious.
It had nine floors, yes, but its height and width covered 1000 meters, making it the tallest building around.
There were grander buildings, but they were never this tall.
The laws of the Immortal Realm were too strong and it was impossible to build something this tall. The only thing that could be done was build on tall places like mountain peaks or use formations to support a floating island.
But that was impossible in the Great Desolate. It was too expensive and was not worth the resources.
This made the Inheritance Hall quite the site. Coupled with the mysterious Dao laws etched on the walls of the Pagoda, those with enough cultivation were attracted like moths to a flame.
That was a rare chance to comprehend the Dao even if they gained nothing else.
It did not take long before the First Floor of the Inheritance Hall was filled with figures. They were just the cannon fodder sent to scout the situation but Wen Qi did not see anything wrong with that.
This was the world of the strong. It was foolish to be too idealistic here.
The numbers kept increasing and more people went into the Hall to explore but found nothing but a seemingly endless space.
"Little Sys, You should directly give the people who enter a floor a comprehensive explanation of what it is used for. Also, don't separate the halls."
The First Floor was one big dimension that kept increasing with the number of people who entered the place.
It was a very good place to interact with people from different cities without having to cross billions of miles to get there.
This was one of the things Wen Qi was going for.
There were many things that kept the world running and Wen Qi understood it very well.
Earth was a very barren place with no Spiritual Qi or any of that stuff for that matter, but it had reached the pinnacle of mortal cultivation.
That was what he had concluded after observing the people who entered the first floor. It was as mortal as mortal can be.
Just thinking about it had already made him resonate with the Heavenly Dao and were it not for his deliberate suppression, he would have already achieved Immortality through the Mortal Dao.
Connecting the first floor like this was going to contribute to the overall influence that the Absolute Sect had on the Cultivation world. The only thing that he limited was the entry and exit.
One could only exit through the hall they used to enter. It would be bad if some ambitious fools thought of using the Inheritance Hall to do something as stupid as conquer and unite the world.
"This should be enough to spread the reputation of the Absolute Sect in the Great Desolate.
Little Sys, let's make the second floor. What do you think about making it a technique depository?"
[This… the techniques that I have are all very powerful and should only be used by the sect's disciples.]
"That is obvious. But what I want to know is if there are other ways to get techniques that are not from your database."
[I can collect lost and forgotten techniques from the Ancient Battlefield. I can also deduce techniques directly by observing the cultivators as they cultivate.]
"That's good. But let's first make arrangements for the second floor before spying on others."
Cultivators, especially those second generations from powerful forces were very particular about inheritances and legacies.
It was a great offense to just copy their techniques directly and using it like that. At least, it was not advisable at this stage.
The Inheritance Hall was relatively new and had yet to occupy a stable position. If he messed up this early, there was no telling what would happen.
There might not be any direct consequences, but what about the people outside the hall. What if they decided to stay on guard outside the hall and prevent people from coming in? or what if they spread rumors and affected the reputation of the Sect?
All this was up in the air, but Wen Qi did not want anything to affect the sect.
If he had a lot of time, it was okay even if the sect was directly labeled as a demonic sect, but he only had a year. He did not have time to deal with avoidable troubles.
"The Second Floor should be a Technique Depository and Library of all knowledge. It should be similar to the first floor but instead of having personalized formations, these formations should be bound to the books and techniques.
Make steles for every compilation and separate them using formations."
As Wen Qi spoke, he manipulated the space and time in front of him creating a 'world' to demonstrate what he had in mind.
It was quite easy to actualize his concept but to actually do it required a very absurd level of understanding of the Dao of Space, Time, and Soul. It also required for the creator to have a deep understanding of the techniques.
But all that was nothing to Wen Qi. He had absolute control in the Absolute Domain and he could do whatever he wanted.
What he did was simply take the Mortal Dao that he had comprehended and condensed it into a stele. It was better to call it a monument considering it was hundreds of meters tall and wide.
There were thousands of murals and glyphs that were quite mysterious and the aura of the Dao was thick around them but they did not feel as distant as one would expect.
They had the aura of a busy market with vendors and buyers, the painting of the court and the officials, the drawing of the busy street and the hidden street. It had everything one could find in the mortal world, even that which is deeply hidden.
This was what Wen Qi had comprehended and the Heavenly Dao that had resonated with him. This stele alone was more powerful than a peak stage Human Immortal. And that was without the support of formations that Wen Qi planned to put in place.
