"For now, let's settle the buildings that I got and raise them to level 20," Qin Tian said, rolling up his sleeves and getting to work.
The Immortal Realm now covered a vast expanse of 987 square kilometers, thanks to the new Immortal Population Token. Qin Tian's plan was to have a wall at every 200 square kilometer interval, ensuring that when the Abyss launched its invasion, his troops would have ample time to react and defend the Immortal Realm.
He also needed the flying restriction attributes of the Great Wall, because demons from the Abyss have a race of demons that have wings. Usually, when an Abyss Invasion starts, the demons that come out first are only scouts, followed by flying demons.
Then, shield-type demons come out, and soon, all types of demons appear one after another. It is said that the demons are 50% land demons, 25% underwater demons, and 25% flying demons. Therefore, he needed to guard against them too.
He stood at the edge of his territory, imagining the layout in his mind.
In fact, the walls at the 200, 400, and 600 square kilometer marks were already complete. Now, with the new Great Walls he received, he could finish the wall at the 800 square kilometer mark by early morning tomorrow. "Four layers of defense before they can even think about reaching my important buildings," he muttered, a grin spreading across his face. "Good luck getting through that, Abyss."
He decided to start with the Great Wall. At the 800 square kilometer mark, he summoned the first segment. The ground rumbled as the wall rose from the earth, its glowing with intricate patterns of immortal essence.
Qin Tian repeated this about eleven times before emptying out his stock of Great Walls. He then upgraded the walls to Level 20
[Great Wall (Mythical)]
[Level 20]
[Requirements for upgrade: 3-star Beast Core x1, 100 3-star wood, 100 3-star stone, 10000 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]
The Great Wall now was over 20 meters long, and the width of the walls was now 10 meters, which was already very huge and tall. This behemoth is sure to hold a lot of demons in the upcoming war.
He had also tested the defense of the Great Wall personally. As a Level 46 powerhouse himself, and strength comparable to Level 60, Qin Tian was only able to dent the wall, and the wall recovered to its previous state after a minute.
In addition, his walls could now incorporate three extra arrays. He could throw in a mix of a Killing Array or an Illusion Array. It was a pity that among the Sects he recruited from the Immortal Population Token, no one was an Array Master.
With the wall complete, he turned his attention to the Immortal Sky Piercer towers. Qin Tian had also stocked up with 10 Immortal Sky Piercer Towers. He saved them, because in truth, he basically didn't need them and even frowned at using them. This is because the Heavenly Soldiers can take care of the beasts and level up, while using the Immortal Sky Piercer Tower will rob them of experience.
"Still, having a few extra defenses won't hurt, just in case the worst things happen," he conceded.
He placed the towers strategically around the perimeter of his territory, ensuring they covered all possible entry points. Then, Qin Tian upgraded all the Immortal Sky Piercer Towers.
[Immortal Sky Piercer Tower (Mythical)
[Level 20]
[Requirements for upgrade: 3-star Beast Core x1, 100 3-star wood, 100 3-star stone, 10000 spirit coins]
[Range: 2 kilometers]
[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 55 minutes, the tower unleashes a barrage of arrows in all directions, dealing heavy damage to multiple enemies simultaneously.]
Then, using the Ziwei Emperor Palace to teleport himself to near the Heavenly Soldier Camp, he placed the new barracks, which is the Immortal Shield Guard Barracks, at the empty space near the Heavenly Soldier Camp. After all, they are both precious and needed to be protected at all costs, and what better place is there than near the Immortal Heart?
To make sure that Qin Tian gets the max troops that he could recruit for the day, he first upgraded the Immortal Shield Guard Barracks. With this, he could now recruit 300 today, and another 300 tomorrow, a total of 600 troops. Though, they'll be a little weaker since they haven't had the chance to get experience from killing beasts, and could only cultivate.
However, Qin Tian was sure that they would be able to reach Foundation Establishment or even Gold Core tomorrow with the Spirit Well and various buffs that they can obtain using the crops grown by the Spirit Farm.
[Immortal Shield Guard (Mythical)]
[Recruitable Troops: 300/300]
[Level 20]

[Attribute 1: Can recruit elite Shield Guards soldiers imbued with immortal essence. The troop capacity increases with the level of the building]
[Attribute 2: Increases the Defenses of all troops by 17%]
"Recruit 300 Immortal Shield Guard." said Qin Tian
A pillar of light suddenly descended in the barracks. As the light faded, he could see figures starting to form. First, the silver armor came into focus, shining brilliantly. The armor was sleek and shiny, with detailed engravings that glowed softly. The helmets had feathery plumes on top, making the guards look really majestic.
"Looks like the helmet of a certain superhero character I've watched before." Qin Tian couldn't help but remember the God of Thunder in his previous life.
The light finally disappeared, revealing the full look of the Immortal Shield Guards. Their gauntlets and leg armor were just as impressive, and their boots looked sturdy but surprisingly light. Each guard held a large shield almost as tall as they were. Each guard also had a long sword strapped to their back.
All the Immortal Shield Guards saluted Qin Tian. "We are ready to serve, my lord," they said in unison, their voices strong and confident.
[Immortal Shield Guard (Mythical)]
[Level: Qi Gathering I]
[Strength: 25]
[Agility: 20]
[Physique: 40]
[Spirit: 30]
"With this troop, I can finally form a proper formation with my troops. My Shield Guards will stand at the front with their huge shields, while the Heavenly Soldiers will be standing behind them as they poke their spears through the gaps in the shields formed by the Shield Guards."
Qin Tian felt satisfied with the new troops.
"Now, the Ziwei Emperor Palace should have transmitted the information of our territory and the state of it right now. You guys should go to the Spirit Farm, get some crops, and then go to the Spirit Well to drink some Spirit Water to cultivate." Qin Tian let the Ziwei Emperor Palace do its own thing.
"I hope that you guys can reach Golden Core by tomorrow, before the Beast Siege starts. We need all the strength we can have, and you will only be a great addition if you guys can have the strength to participate."
"We will be sure to meet your expectations, my lord!" the Shield Guards kneeled again and said.
After all the talking, Qin Tian teleported them to the Spirit Farm then to the Spirit Well. Then, he talked to Bai Qi and Luo Yi who were resting by the Immortal Heart and cultivating.
Seeing Qin Tian approaching them, the two cupped their fists and said,
"My Lord."
"Bai Qi and Luo Yi, for tomorrow, you must not take action easily. Leave the enemies to the troops, only when they face someone or something they can't beat will you take action."
"In addition Bai Qi, at midnight, have the Shield Guards and the Heavenly Soldiers train together and teach them a formation that can utilize their cooperation perfectly against the enemies."
"Luo Yi, using your passive skill [Demonic Qi], you influence every enemy that appears so that they'll be reanimated as a living corpse. We'll use them as cannon fodder and tank the upcoming enemies."
[Demonic Qi (Passive Skill): Any being weaker than Luo Yi in all five attributes contaminated by Luo Yi's Demonic Qi will become a living corpse that can be controlled by Luo Yi once they die. The living corpse can only live up to a day]
Luo Yi and Bai Qi nodded, and continued back to cultivating.
Qin Tian also placed the Immortal Slaying Crossbow near the Immortal Heart, with its newly upgraded strength, it was no problem covering all the important buildings near the Immortal Heart.
"I hope that I never get to use you…"
[Immortal Slayer Crossbow (Mythical)]

[Burst Fire: Fires 200 shots consecutively on the targeted location, each shot costs 100 Qi to fire, and deals low damage]
