The prehistoric infrastructure maniac

Chapter 189 Cave Dwelling Renovation

On the deck of the massive Pure Yang magic ship, Shi Mo stood with his hands behind his back, with Jiu Feng and dozens of other celestial gods behind him, as well as an even larger number of primordial spirits and Void Returning God Demon soldiers.

"What a vast wilderness." Looking at the boundless plains and lush vegetation outside, Shi Mo couldn't help but smile, feeling relaxed and carefree.

"My lord, we've arrived just ahead. After passing the nine precipitous mountains ahead, we'll enter the territory of the Water Kingdom," Jiu Feng said, pointing to several towering, precipitous peaks that were faintly visible in the distance.

Shi Mo nodded slightly and slowly approached. When he saw the familiar mountain layout that seemed to be standing in a circle, his expression changed slightly.

"My lord, what's wrong? Is there a problem here?" Jiufeng asked, puzzled.

Shi Mo ignored her and walked around one of the steep mountains. In the vast valley surrounded by steep mountains, there was an even larger peak, but it was shorter and had a flat top.

At first glance, this place really does resemble the Nine Peaks Iron Fork Mountain. Shi Mo, with a complex expression and a look of reminiscence in his eyes, quickly came back to his senses and turned to look at the endless wilderness outside.
"My lord." Jiufeng flew down from the large ship that approached and went straight to Shi Mo's side.

“Jiufeng, tell me, this is such a vast wilderness, such a wonderful place! Shouldn’t we plant more things here?” Shi Mo asked with a smile.

"Huh?" Jiufeng was somewhat surprised. Seeing her reaction, Shi Mo's smile deepened: "I really like this place. I plan to turn it into a cave dwelling. In the future, we will all cultivate here. This will be our home."

"But, my lord, this is just a desolate wilderness, and these mountains are nothing special. Moreover, they are so close to the territory of the Water Kingdom." Jiufeng was somewhat doubtful and hesitant.

"What's there to fear in the wilderness and barren mountains?" Shi Mo laughed and said, "A mountain is not famous because it is high, but because there are immortals living there; water is not sacred because it is deep, but because there are dragons living there. Even an ordinary barren mountain can be transformed into a blessed land."

“But if this place really becomes a blessed land, and you still want to plant things, I’m afraid it will attract the invasion of the Water Kingdom. We can forget about having peace in the future,” Jiufeng couldn’t help but say.

"Peace? You think you can have peace here? Even if we do nothing, the Water Kingdom won't just stand by and watch us gain a foothold next to them. There's a saying, 'How can one tolerate another's snoring beside one's bed?'" Shi Mo shook his head and said.

"What side?" Jiufeng didn't react for a moment.

Shi Mo chuckled and said, "So, you mean you'd allow someone to stare at your cultivation cave like a hawk?"

"Alright, let's set up our caves and settle everyone down first. We can take our time to renovate this place," Shi Mo said, and went to create a new Eight Treasures Cloud Light Cave for himself.

Next, with the combined efforts of the gods, demons, and their soldiers, cave dwellings were quickly carved out one after another.
After settling down, Shi Mo continued his secluded cultivation, but arranged for his divine power avatar to lead some gods and demons to get busy managing the new Nine Cauldrons Iron Fork Mountain and the surrounding wilderness, planting various spiritual plants, immortal herbs, fruit trees, millet, and so on.

At the same time, Shi Mo began to devise a spirit-gathering formation suitable for the Pangu world, gathering the power of the earth and the energy of water to create an environment suitable for the growth of some special spiritual plants and herbs. This was also a gradual transformation of the Nine Cauldrons Iron Fork Mountain.

Shi Moyu was about to set up a new earth vein array, and in the process, his understanding of the earth element was deepening.
Several hundred years passed in the blink of an eye, which was a very short time in the Pangu World. Because Shi Mo was focused on construction, the Water Kingdom, out of fear of him as a true god and a powerful being, did not easily come to cause trouble.

However, as the environment around Jiuding Iron Fork Mountain changed, Shi Mo began to treat it as his lair, and the high-ranking officials of the Water Kingdom finally couldn't sit still any longer.

At the summit of the new Eight Treasures Peak on Nine Cauldrons Iron Fork Mountain, many peach trees were planted. Under the thickest peach tree, Shi Mo, who was enjoying a rare moment of leisure without cultivating, was leisurely swaying on a jade-like recliner, munching on a peach.
"My lord, how can you sit still? The Water Kingdom is attacking!" Jiu Feng rushed over and said.

Shi Mo sat up, looking at the dark clouds and the cold wind and rain spreading across the horizon, but continued to eat his peach at a leisurely pace, though his brows were slightly furrowed:
"Our crops have no shortage of water, let alone freezing rain. Don't you think they're just bored? With that kind of free time, they could be traveling and enjoying themselves instead of cultivating. Why do they have to come looking for trouble? Did you deliberately go to cause trouble for the Water Kingdom?"

"No! Isn't that what you said? How can I allow someone else to snore next to my bed?" Seeing Shi Mo's nonchalant attitude, Jiu Feng said speechlessly.

"Go and gather the troops and prepare for battle," Shi Mo instructed Jiu Feng. After Jiu Feng responded and left, the peach pit that Shi Mo casually tossed into his hand landed on an open ground in the distance. As the water energy, the earth power, and the life force converged, it immediately began to take root and sprout at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Shi Mo took a step and arrived directly in the void outside the Nine Cauldrons Iron Fork Mountain.

"My lord!" Nine Phoenix and other celestial beings also led a large number of divine and demonic soldiers over.

"Wuzhiqi?" Looking at the giant ape surrounded by water under the dark clouds in the distance, and the indifferent woman in white bone armor beside it, Shi Mo couldn't help but frown: "Xuanming? Two true gods have come all at once. They certainly think highly of me."

“My lord, the army of gods and demons they brought is two or three times the size of ours. I’m afraid we can’t hold them off,” Jiu Feng said, frowning.

"If you can't hold out, form a defensive formation. There's no need for a head-on fight," Shi Mo said calmly. "But the enemy has two True Gods!" Jiu Feng couldn't help but say, but Shi Mo replied, "You don't need to worry about me!"

"Be careful, my lord!" Jiufeng commanded, and immediately joined the army of gods and demons behind her. As the surging divine power surged, it caused the energy of heaven and earth to converge and form a vortex, which transformed into a giant holding a divine axe, none other than Pangu.

This is the Pangu Battle Formation, which gods and demons are most skilled at. It was created by powerful gods and demons out of their worship and commemoration of Pangu.

There are many similar battle formations, varying in power, but they all lead to the same goal: combining the divine power of gods and demons to draw upon the power of heaven and earth to form the Pangu God. The power that the energy giant Pangu can unleash depends entirely on the number and strength of the gods and demons in the formation, as well as the mystery of the formation.

When Shi Mo was comprehending the Dao, he slightly improved the Pangu Battle Formation of the Fire Kingdom, which greatly enhanced its offensive power and defensive capabilities.

Of course, the current war between gods and demons is not as powerful as it was after Nuwa broke through to become a world god and perfected her power. It is not as powerful as it was when enough gods joined forces to form an array that could rival or even crush ordinary true gods and ancestral masters.

"Haha, Shi Mo, do you think you can withstand this with the Pangu Battle Formation?" Wuzhiqi laughed wildly and charged forward, brandishing his dark red, giant, blood-refined divine weapon.
"Even if your people can withstand the attack of my army of gods and demons, do you think you can fight against me and the True God Xuanming alone?"

Facing the massive club that crashed down like a pillar supporting the sky, the calm and composed Shi Mo transformed into a body of crystal jade. With a flick of his wrist, the space in front of him turned into a swirling vortex of spatial waves, and his enlarged hand collided with the massive club.

Amidst the deafening roar, a terrifying and surging power swept outwards, seemingly forming a spatial wave centered on Shi Mo.

Shi Mo steadily blocked the blow, but the air beneath his feet trembled and twisted, while Wu Zhiqi staggered backward with a slight change in expression.

"How is this possible? His strength has increased so much again! That palm strike contained more than one Dao, and they were combined with each other, making its power far exceed that of a single Dao!" Wuzhiqi stared in shock and anger.

Xuan Ming, whose expression also changed slightly, waved his hand and a large number of bone spikes shot towards Shi Mo.
With a hissing sound, sharp bone spikes distorted and tore through the space as they passed, but Shi Mo did not dodge or evade as a crimson lotus platform appeared beneath his feet.

As the Crimson Fire Lotus Platform burned and its petals grew larger, bone thorns fell onto the petals, causing them to tremble slightly before being easily blocked.

"A protective magical artifact? Bestowed by Zhu Rong?" Xuanming frowned slightly upon seeing this.

Wuzhiqi gritted his teeth, seething with anger: "Zhurong has really been good to him!"

"Join forces! I want to see just how strong he really is," Wuzhiqi telepathically called out to Xuanming before charging at Shi Mo once again.

Xuanming also circled around behind Shi Mo, wielding a bone spear and thrusting it fiercely at Shi Mo.
Feeling the terrifying chill behind him, as if the space behind him had frozen, Shi Mo narrowed his eyes and spun around, causing the surrounding space to distort.

Bang. Bang. As Shi Mo slapped his hands twice, the giant club and bone spear, whose attacks had been deflected, collided with them, dissipating their power and causing Wuzhiqi and Xuanming to fall to the side in a slightly disheveled state.

“This kid is strange. He has a very deep understanding of the Great Dao of Space,” Wuzhiqi said through gritted teeth, feeling frustrated and helpless. Xuanming also looked solemn: “He has probably already comprehended the Great Dao of Space.”

With a deafening roar, amidst the explosive energy bursts, the armies of gods and demons led by Wuzhiqi and Xuanming formed two Pangu battle formations, launching an attack on the Pangu battle formation commanded by Jiufeng.
In the distance, a one-armed, bald, burly man and a slightly overweight old man with disheveled hair, who appeared out of nowhere, appeared.

Watching the fierce battle unfolding beside Nine Cauldrons Iron Fork Mountain, the one-armed giant's gaze burned with fervor, while the slightly plump old man beside him couldn't help but say:

"Sanshou, I think we should leave quickly! It's better to avoid such a spectacle and get ourselves into trouble. Neither the God of Fire nor the God of Water are people we can afford to offend."

"What are you afraid of? Jiu Yang, didn't you want to exchange some spiritual fruits and materials for brewing wine with Shi Mo? Now you're afraid of the trouble?" The one-armed giant San Shou joked.

The True God of Wine shook his head and smiled wryly: "I don't have your strength, so I really don't dare to cause trouble! Otherwise, I might not even have the life to drink!"

"But this guy named Shi Mo is really a prodigy. He's only been a True God for a short time, yet even Wuzhiqi and Xuanming working together couldn't do anything to him," True God Jiuyang exclaimed in amazement.

Sanshou's gaze grew even more intense: "Indeed, very strong!"
