Chapter 94: One Month Later
A month had passed since Yao Shen had chosen to accept Tianjian Shuans audacious proposal.
In that month, the Mortal Capital All Haven had seen a tremendous amount of growth. The construction of the Apartment units that had been thrown in jeopardy after Gavrils incursion had been completed, the once barren land transformed into a monolith of Earths modern era.
The empty space in the center of the Apartment units had been transformed, with scenic parks and soon to be heated pools making for an impressive vista. The Runic Formations for the apartment units and the pools were in the process of being laid down under his oversight.
His presence was key to the whole process, for as a Soul Emperor his Divine Sense was vast enough to affix multiple Divine Sense brands without taking a toll on his psyche. One Divine Sense brand for each apartment was all that was required, to serve as the control unit for the Basic Runes that had already been laid out by Foundation Establishment and Core Formation Disciples.
Theoretically, a Core Formation ranked chunk of spiritual ore should have been enough to power a single apartment building for decades and two Nascent Soul Elders had already verified Yao Shens calculations on the matter in the planning phase.
However, when the moment had finally arrived, Yao Shen had admittedly been nervous. The Basic Runes had been connected to the Divine Sense brand imprinted artifact by him personally, but he could not rule out any adverse reactions brought on by the sheer potency of his own Soul.
Not willing to take any chances, Yao Shen had tested one of the Runes that he believed would see the most use. The Light Rune for soft, diffused illumination that unobtrusively provided for a large surface area required him to tap twice on the rune in quick succession.
The moment of truth had arrived and Yao Shen was not one for suspense, so he tapped the rune at a speed that stretched what should have been possible for a mortal.
It worked.
There was no flickering of light, a possibility if the rune had misinterpreted the command. No adverse reaction that focused the light rune at intensities that would have been harmful for mortals. Neither did the rune implode, which would have been a far unlikelier possibility.
The Control Panel Artifact had worked exactly as intended.
Naturally, Yao Shen hadnt ceased his testing there. Switching the light rune off, he had gone on to personally inspect every single working rune in the apartment building manually, requiring him the better part of a day to do so.
Only when he was absolutely certain that there was nothing else that could be done to verify both the safety and efficacy of the power supply, did Yao Shen declare it a success.
You judged that my forging will suffice for the task at hand, so that is besides the point.
Barely suffice, Vondar corrected, barely keeping his contempt from leaking into his tone. However, I suppose that receiving a forging technique in return for such trivial knowledge speaks about your acumen as a leader. Political bickering has always been something that I despised, dedicating my ambitions and talents solely dedicated to mastering my craft perhaps that is why I stood alone when the tides turned and the Tellurarchs no longer saw any use for me.
Casting aside a craftsman of your talents in favor of antiquated traditions can be attributed to either hubris or incompetence, though in all likelihood it was a combination of both.
A few moments passed in silence, before Vondars emotionless tone broke the silence, I suppose so.
Yao Shen wasnt sure how to further address such a delicate topic, so he simply chose to press on with his inquiry, This technique is unlike anything I have seen before. I will not conceal this from you, Vondar I have spent the last week trying to channel my Qi in accordance with this manual, only to nearly suffer Qi Deviation, with no results to show for it.
Oh. Then you wish for me to decipher it for you?
Yes.
What do you offer in return?
Im afraid that this deal will not be as lucrative as the last one. The technique in and of its own is all I can offer, Yao Shen stated, his tone firm.
Let me be the one to prospect lumenite from a mountain of rubble. After all, it is my speciality.
Yao Shen was amused by the response, allowing a chuckle to escape him before he nodded and held up the unfurled scroll that had been traded to him; a copy of the original.
Fifteen minutes ticked away in silence, before Vondar finally offered his assessment.
His words were slow and measured, almost bordering on cautious as he finally replied,
Yao Shen, for one so resentful of the heavens, you seem to be quite blessed.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
