Chapter 847 - What Should I Do?
Leaving the cultivators who came to join the sect behind, Rean's group proceeded to the Freedom Sect's new location close to the mountain peak. Malo wasn't in a mood to keep choosing names, so he simply called the mountain Freedom Mountain, following the same pattern.
As soon as they arrived, Celis dropped down from the top of the airship, landing right in front of the mountain. For Celis, the closer he was to the earth, the better, so he didn't want to stay at the mountain peak. Just like last time, Celis shot seeds out of his branches, which soon disappeared in the distance. They would become saplings that Celis would use to watch over the island.
Following that, his roots deeply penetrated the ground, quickly spreading everywhere in the area. Celis's roots soon spread tens of kilometers in the next few hours, including the seabed surrounding the island. It didn't take long for the Spiritual Energy to start rushing in the Freedom Mountain's direction, though. The more the roots spread, the greater the gathering of Spiritual Energy.
Malo quickly gave way for the airship to land after confirming that Celis wouldn't need to change anything else in the land. "Let's go, everyone! You already know how everything works. I want the construction teams to work together with the resource-gathering teams. We couldn't bring the buildings themselves, so we'll need to reconstruct them."
Poliana, Falas, Burio, Rafin, Glennie, and everyone else helped out as well. "Since this will be our permanent home, we don't need to hold back on the size of the buildings. Earth and Water Affinity Teams will prepare the ground for the construction. We will require the main lodgement of the disciples to be built first. After all, there's no point in a sect if we can't even give the kids a place to sleep. We can think about the other parts later."
"Utility Formations Team, head to the east of the mountain and set up the Water Gathering Formations. We need water available around the entire sect nonstop, so make sure to build the formations as thoroughly as you can. Since Rean was the one who taught you those simple formations, I don't want to hear you guys having problems."
The orders continued to be issued as Malo's group gradually busied themselves. This time, Rean didn't go out to help them. He left everything for the sect members to work out. Kentucky also didn't go around knocking down trees. The disciples were more than good enough for the job. As for Roan, he decided to go take a look around the island to see if it had any problems he hadn't seen beforehand.
Fizer and Julia were quite impressed by the sect's performance. Everyone worked like a well-maintained machine, with each part doing exactly what it should do. When asked, Malo only had one answer to those two, saying, "Well...you don't know how scary Roan can be when he sees half-assed jobs. Also, Rean helped us plan most of the processes, so it's a lot harder to commit mistakes."
Sure enough, the twins' influence on the sect members was simply too big. Neither Fizer nor Julia could compete with it. Julia then quickly looked at her female disciples and said, "What are you all looking at? Can't you see your new sisters working? Get the hell out of the airship and help them out. if you have any doubts, just ask Poliana or the other girls."
Malo then raised his hand, saying, "You can ask me too, you know? I won't bite."
Julia narrowed her eyes but nodded in the end. Although it was a rare occurrence, she recognized Malo's abilities, even if just a little.
Rean then landed on the peak of Freedom Mountain and quickly took out the Parasol Tree Totem from the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. "What a nice place. The Spiritual Energy flows from the ground and escapes through the mountain peak as if it was a volcano. Most likely, this mountain was formed exactly because of that. It then spreads over the entire island and even extends a bit into the ocean."
After preparing the ground, Rean placed the Totem on the very center of the Spiritual Energy flow. Thanks to that, the Yang Energy of the Totem was carried with the Spiritual Energy that fell on the land below. However, it was spreading way too much, and the Totem couldn't generate that much pure Yang Energy for it to make a meaningful difference. "Hmm... Seems like I'll need to set up a formation that will trap the Yang Energy while not affecting the Spiritual Energy flowing outwards."
Rean then took several formation items from the Dimensional Realm and disappeared from the Freedom Mountain's peak without wasting time. As a Heaven Middle-Level Formation Master, it wasn't anything difficult for Rean to create a formation that enveloped the entire mountain and its surroundings. All it had to do was keep the Totem's Yang Energy inside the sect's range, so it wasn't anything that hard to start with.
Later, everyone noticed a red light appear from seven different directions around Freedom Mountain. Fizer and Julia, obviously, could see that it was Rean doing something with their Spiritual Senses. 'He can even set up formations that easily. No wonder the Divine Demon Beasts placed so much importance in them.'
Soon after, those points connected with each other before forming a dome of red light that looked more like a spider web. However, the sect members were only able to watch it for a few minutes. That's because the red light disappeared little by little until it finally became impossible to see it with the naked eye. Naturally, they weren't concerned since they knew it was most likely Rean's work.
Suddenly, a sect disciple noticed a change in the environment. "Oh! Can you feel it?"
His friend on his side quickly nodded, saying, "Yes. It's the Totem's Yang Energy. This is really good."
"It seems like Elder Rean has found a way to spread the Yang Energy of the Totem throughout the entire sect."
"This is much better than having to go to the Totem Building as we did before."
After that, Rean landed in a random location of the sect and focused on the Yang Energy circulating in the environment. "Not bad. The Freedom Mountain's Spiritual Energy surge increased the Totem's ability quite a bit." Right after, Rean looked back at the sect and muttered to himself, "Now then, what should I do next?"
