Qin Tian returned to the Ziwei Emperor Palace, while Bai Qi and the other soldiers took a bottle of water from the Spirit Well and drank it at the Heavenly Soldier Camp, where they continued their cultivation.
Half of the water from the Spirit Well was stored in a container to boost his and his troops' cultivation speed. The other half would be used to water the seeds he bought from the auction house earlier.
Although they were only 1-star seeds, with the effect of the water from the Spirit Well and the soil of the Spirit Farm, it took only hours for them to grow and mature, unlike other 1-star seeds that took weeks or even months.
"After the seeds in the Spirit Farm mature, I will keep half of them for my troops and sell the other half for other resources. Additionally, once the quantity of my Spirit Well building increases, I can also sell the water from it," Qin Tian thought, thinking of the potential business opportunities.
After getting these things out of the hand, Qin Tian prepared to take out the rewards he received from the Beast Siege event earlier.
[Population Token (Common) 1x]
[Arrow Tower (Common) 2x]
[Wooden Fence (Common) 1x]
[Ding! Population Token (Common) is evolved by talent [Immortal] and becomes Immortal Population Token (Mythical)]
[Immortal Population Token (Mythical)]
[Description: Summons 1 medium-sized Sect, 3 small-sized Sect, 5 Large Immortal Villages]
Qin Tian's eyes widened in disbelief. "A medium-sized Sect and multiple villages?"
A Common quality Population Token usually contained a small group of people. The highest quality Population Token he had heard of was an Epic quality Population Token, which contained a small-sized kingdom. It was a treasure in the Novice Domain for those who wanted to grow quickly or become Gods through the method of Faith.
It was said that the strongest person in that small-sized kingdom generated by the Epic quality Population Token was a level 50 strongman. Qin Tian was curious what the medium-sized sect generated by the Mythical quality Population Token would bring him.
[Ding! Arrow Tower (Common) is evolved by talent [Immortal] and becomes Immortal Sky Piercer Tower (Mythical)]
[Immortal Sky Piercer Tower (Mythical)
[Level 1]
[[Requirements for upgrade: 1-star Beast Core x1, 100 1-star wood, 100 1-star stone, 100 spirit coins]
[Range: 500 meters]
[Description: An ordinary Arrow Tower evolved by the Taboo Talent: Immortal. It is a defensive building filled with immortal essence]
[Attribute 1: Automatically fires arrows imbued with immortal energy that can penetrate the toughest defenses and deal massive damage. These arrows have a tracking ability, ensuring they hit their target.]
[Attribute 2: Enhanced vision that allows it to detect invisible or hidden enemies within its range.]
[Immortal Volley (Special Skill): Once every hour, the tower unleashes a barrage of arrows in all directions, dealing heavy damage to multiple enemies simultaneously.]
[Ding! Wooden Fence (Common) is evolved by talent [Immortal] and becomes Great Wall (Mythical)]
Qin Tian couldn't contain his excitement. "This is incredible! With these towers, my defense is practically impenetrable! I can also just lay around and watch the beasts from the Beast Siege event get slaughtered. Though, I still need to personally participate so I can level up."
[Great Wall (Mythical]
[Level 1]
[Requirements for upgrade: 1-star Beast Core x1, 100 1-star wood, 100 1-star stone, 100 spirit coins]
[Description: An ordinary Wooden Fence evolved by the Taboo Talent: Immortal. It is a defensive building filled with immortal essence]
[Attribute 1: The Great Wall automatically extends and grows to the desired location as commanded by its owner. When sections of the wall are destroyed, they regenerate quickly, restoring the structure to its full integrity without manual intervention]
[Attribute 2: The Great Wall emits an invisible barrier that prevents flying beasts and aerial attacks within its vicinity. This restriction remains active as long as the Great Wall is not destroyed]
[Attribute 3: The wall is enveloped by a powerful array that regenerates itself by drawing energy from the surroundings. This array not only provides additional defense but can also integrate other arrays. Initially, it can incorporate one additional array, but this capacity increases by one array every ten levels]
Qin Tian's jaw dropped. "A self-repairing, expanding Great Wall with an aerial defense and an adaptable array system? This is mega overpowered!"
Wall-type buildings are among the most sought-after buildings in Global Lords. Typically, wall-type buildings only cover a specific area, and to extend it, you must acquire more of the same type of building.
For example, a Wooden Fence only stretches for a hundred meters, and beyond that, it stops. To cover your whole territory, you would need more Wooden Fences, and if you want to upgrade them, you must spend materials on every single individual building.
That's why wall-type buildings are also among the most resource-intensive buildings in Global Lords. And now, this Great Wall could automatically extend. In addition to that, it also had the function of self-repair.
He immediately teleported near the Spirit Farm and the Spirit Well and placed the Great Wall there. Soon, a 10-meter tall, 5-meter wide pitch-black wall appeared. It stretched for a hundred meters and covered the Spirit Farm and the Spirit Well.
In Qin Tian's mind, a holographic map appeared.
[Please set where the Great Wall will grow]
He immediately selected the farthest reaches of his territory, ensuring it covered the entire 29-kilometer area. Soon, at the two ends of the wall, a column of wall slowly rose up.
Seeing this, Qin Tian's mouth twitched.
"It's too slow… I'm afraid it'll take a whole 10 days to cover my whole territory… Well, not that I'm complaining, though. It's already too OP to be able to generate walls."
After dealing with the Great Wall, he placed the two Immortal Sky Piercer Towers near the Spirit Well and Spirit Farm, and in the Heavenly Soldier Camp respectively.
Finally, Qin Tian took out the Immortal Population Token and used it. A beam of light shot out from the token and scattered throughout the territory.
Just as Qin Tian was about to teleport to where the beams of light landed, he suddenly felt nine friendly auras approaching him at great speed. After a stick of incense passed, nine old men wearing different clothes but all with the same white hair and long goatee, and Taoist crowns appeared before him.
"I have seen My Lord."
The nine old men knelt sincerely and spoke with respect. Qin Tian examined their information and found out that they were the leaders of the sects and villages summoned by the Immortal Population Token.
The nine old men looked at their strange yet familiar young Lord with respect, feeling a sense of deja vu. However, when they tried to recall, they came up empty.
The three sect masters wore robes varying in color, while the village heads wore leather clothes.
In the middle stood the sect master of the Azure Mist Sect, a medium-sized sect, wearing white robes with cloud patterns. He was actually a Level 70, Peak Unity powerhouse!
The path of cultivation in the Mortal Realm is as follows, corresponding to the levels in Global Lords:
1-10: Qi Gathering
11-20: Foundation Building
21-30: Golden Core
31-40: Nascent Soul
41-50: Soul Formation
51-60: Soul Transformation
61-70: Unity
71-80: Nirvana
81-90: Earthly Ascendance
91-100: Half-Immortal
A Level 70 powerhouse in the Novice Domain might seem ordinary, but it was undoubtedly invincible in the Novice Trial.
"My Lord, we have received your call. The Azure Mist Sect is a medium-sized sect, housing tens of thousands of disciples and two Peak Unity Realm Powerhouses. However, due to the small size of the territory, only a small group and an Elder followed me here. But, as the territory grows, our Immortal Mountain will descend along with the whole Sect."
Qin Tian nodded, slightly embarrassed. Every sect has an Immortal Mountain, an abode filled with Spirit Veins and good Feng Shui, capable of flight.
A small-sized Sect houses around hundreds or thousands of disciples, and their Immortal Mountain can measure up to a hundred up to a thousand square kilometers. And with his current territory, it was impossible to fit even a small-sized Sect, and more of so a medium-sized one.
The other three Sect Masters who were Level 50 Peak Nascent Soul Cultivators also spoke up, and said the same, and also reported their status.
Meanwhile, the five village heads had settled their villages without any problem. Although called villages, they each ranged up to 20-30 square kilometers, housing 3,000 to 5,000 inhabitants. The guards were Qi Refining level, some high-ranking villagers were Foundation Establishment level, and the Village Heads were Golden Core experts.
Although his territory was only 29 square kilometers in size, the villages he placed near its borders would soon expand it.
The territory system in Global Lords functioned on a unique principle. As long as the size of the buildings was within the range of the territory's area, it was permissible to place them. Once placed, the territory would gradually extend to cover these buildings, effectively expanding its reach.
However, this process required careful management. A building outside a Lord's current territory was vulnerable. Any other Lord could claim it and incorporate it into their own territory if they discovered it unguarded. This meant that Qin Tian needed to strategically defend and manage these new additions to ensure they would eventually become a part of his territory.
Qin Tian dismissed them after learning their situation and sighed, "If only I could use my residents as a combat force."
In Global Lords, hierarchy is strict, especially for Novice Lords. Residents could only be residents, and troops could only be troops. This meant residents couldn't be called to fight actively but could counter-attack passively. This only changed after climbing the Novice Domain and reaching the Gods Domain.
