The Great Seminary

Chapter 288 As You Wish (Part 1)

From then on, if the True Dragon Kingdom wanted to undertake large-scale construction projects again, it would have to slowly build up its strength.

However, when Zhang Gui first activated the unparalleled creation artifact, "Tiangong Kaiwu. Tiangang. Wushuang," he discovered that...

It is completely different from the other works of Song Yingxing, the unparalleled master of the medieval period.

It's practically a creation on another level.

It must have been the culmination of the life's work of the Song Dynasty master craftsman when he was harvesting the 'Dao Fruit'.

If it weren't for Zhang Gui's control over the rules of 'capital' element exchange, which could transform 'divine power' energy...

Thus, they exchanged their stored "virtual and real" assets for "capital" elements.
The mysterious powers released from the metal cave that evolved from 'Tiangong Kaiwu, Tiangang, Wushuang' are exactly the same.

Even if they are ultimately interconnected and united, they may not necessarily become the masters of the "Heavenly Creations" of the Heavenly Gang.

It was precisely because of the complexity and coincidence at the start that Zhang Gui discovered that if he continued to transform 'illusion and reality' into the mysterious powers released by Tiangang's 'Tiangong Kaiwu', he could achieve his goal.

Perform reverse fill.

Then 'Tiangong Kaiwu. Tiangang' can continue to be used within a certain range.

After his precise adjustments, it precisely covered the entire territory of Zhenlong Island and then extended outwards by a distance.

Therefore, Zhang Gui decided to build another 4,320 towns, 132 counties, 12 prefectures, and one capital on the island.

This resulted in a layout with three separate capitals.

On Zhenlong Island, apart from a few small docks that were deliberately given to merchants from Dongzhou;
The three port cities, namely "Meat Gold", "Civilization Vanguard", and "Sacred Ode", were leased to Xizhou Ocean Trading Company.
Apart from the few settlements built by the impoverished adventurers of Beixuan, all the remaining land was put to use.

Of course, these are all things for later.

The most important thing right now is to hurry home for the Chinese New Year...

The wind howled like crows over the East Sea.

The wind blew snowflakes, which swirled and landed on the deck of a thousand-ton ironwood tortoise-shaped mechanical ship.

On the sea, very close to the ship, was a spider the size of a mongrel, with tiger stripes and a lion's head.

Six feet on the ground used a spider web as a float.

Its two front paws, like the claws of a ferocious beast, stroked the thick mane on its head.

It leaped upwards, breaking through the wind and snow, and landed on Zhang Gui's shoulder.

She nuzzled his face like a cat.

"A single artifact can only sustain one divine beast like you; it shouldn't be called a 'divine insect'."

And it grows so slowly.

"Feeding hundreds of people with spiritual flesh and blood for such a small amount is such a waste!"

Zhang Gui rubbed against the spider's soft mane and said with a grin:
"The right way in the world is to learn to be self-reliant as soon as possible, do you understand?"

The lion-headed spider clearly couldn't understand Zhang Gui's human speech, yet it strangely managed to discern its meaning.

It obediently jumped back into the sea, stepping on the spider webs and paddling towards the deep sea.

Suddenly, it stretched its head into the water, and the lion's head viciously bit a three-foot-long fish.

The black fish, covered in scales, was two or three times larger than the lion-headed spider, and struggled desperately even after being caught.

Although the lion-headed spider is weaker than its prey, it has a unique and deadly weapon.

The jagged fangs in its mouth pierced through the blackfish's scales and flesh, while thick, murky sap was injected into the hollow fang tubes.

It's as if they're trying to poison their prey.

Unfortunately, the blackfish struggled more and more fiercely, eventually tearing its own flesh apart and escaping back into the sea.

Fortunately, the lion-headed spider was not discouraged by its failed hunt and paddled out to sea again.

Before long, it caught another big fish.

And so everything happened again, as if time itself was repeating itself.

However, this time, when the prey tried to break free and escape...

Another lion-headed spider suddenly sprang out of the sea and joined forces to bite the big fish's belly.

Its floating body was mostly a lion's head and a spider's body, but the last few limbs were embedded in the remains of a large black fish.

"It has a bit of a zombie infection feel to it, but the addition of the process of physical assimilation makes it much more bizarre."

Unfortunately, the lion-headed spider that 'split' offspring is a 'prosthetic' and cannot exist forever. But such a wondrous existence is already worth the 'investment'.

This makes us look forward to its future performance.

Zhang Gui watched this scene from the bow of the ship, quietly waiting for the large fish bitten by the lion-headed spiders to be 'assimilated' into spiders and weave ever larger and larger spider webs.

They were linked together and transformed into a hunting ground for land-based demonic insects at sea.

He thought to himself silently.

Other people on the surrounding ships also inadvertently witnessed the lion-headed spider's bizarre behavior.

The vast majority of them would immediately look away upon seeing him.

Some even retreated directly into the ship's hold.

Although the great Eastern Continent controls the seas, under the clear blue sky and bright sun.

It is unlikely that anyone would dare to release demonic insects or strange beasts to kill people for fun without reason.

But in the extraordinary world, whether in official historical records, popular storytelling, or folk tales, what kind of demons and monsters are not there?

Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.

It's always better to get out of the way of this 'grandson'.

But the same rice feeds a hundred different kinds of people.

Some are timid but know their limits, while others are bold but don't know when to back down.

Zhang Gui was on the ironwood tortoise-shaped mechanical boat, and they were almost at the Pingyang Town dock when...

We passed head-on with a pleasure boat that could sail at sea.

On the five-story pavilion atop the boat.

A slightly drunken voice rose an octave higher amidst the chorus of soft, languid tunes and seductive lyrics.

"Hey, look! Look! A group of strange creatures are floating by in the sea!"

It has the head of an animal and the body of an insect, and it's even catching fish! Hahaha, how strange!

I need to grab it and take a look.

At this point, we were almost home.

Zhang Gui has already summoned the lion-headed spiders to quickly climb back onto the ship and return to the 'Lion Spider Jungle'.

In fact, the vast and boundless Yuanluan Ocean is home to countless creatures with spiritual flesh and blood and extraordinary bodies.

But let alone being only a mile away from the mainland, there are no spiritual creatures within a hundred miles.

This is a natural law that even a fool understands.

Therefore, Zhang Gui released the lion-headed spider to hunt at sea, but his real purpose was only to test his 'minions'.

I'm fairly satisfied with it now.

"If you want your dog to have a bit of wildness when guarding the house and know how to confront things head-on, you have to feed it some raw meat."

Why bother with demigods and demonic insects…

As he was thinking this, he suddenly saw the pleasure boat that had just passed by him, now following him without him noticing.

Several cultivators who could walk on waves also jumped off and cautiously approached the Lionhead Spider's web hunting grounds.

He hurriedly said:

"My friends, this spider is a pet of mine, not a wild one."

But those cultivators, though they clearly heard Zhang Gui's words, pretended not to hear them.

No one on the pleasure boat made a sound.

Zhang Gui was slightly taken aback, then suddenly laughed and said:

"It's the Lunar New Year, and you have to go looking for your own death."

It's truly a case of 'the King of Hell sends someone away at midnight, but no living person is seen until dawn.'

I've made my decision; the rest is up to you.
