Chapter 743: Return
It would be an oversimplification to say they were building a utopia, but the extreme time difference would give them plenty of time to change things. Especially since the Lang Clan had the most powerful organizations in the world as backers. They werent just tasked with improving the clans signature techniques, but they also had the huge list of research topics that Sage had assembled through his life so far, but never had enough time to complete. The Soul Clone led some of the research groups on these tasks while others were simply given the basic outlines of what he wished to accomplish along with sketches of how these feats could be accomplished. Then the research teams would try to produce the effect he described and then figure out how to do it as cheaply and efficiently as possible.
Most of these research topics he didnt lead were, of course, attempts to reproduce the many common appliances that Sage missed from Earth. There were so many daily conveniences that existed only as magical devices and only available to wealthy cultivators because of their great cost. Heating, cooling, lighting, food preparation, food preservation, access to clean water, and even the existence of undergarments. On top of that, there were also plenty of devices that could make certain chores easier like vacuums, washing machines, dishwashers, and lawnmowers. The list kept growing longer, especially when he realized that it was even more important to focus on large scale agricultural devices and he had to do research on the steps of plowing, planting, watering, harvesting, and processing for the more common food crops. He was only vaguely familiar with what large farming vehicles were like on Earth so he had to research what was required before creating simple plans for them to use as a starting point.
The existence of cultivators and magical tools meant that the advancement of mundane science and technology was stunted. It also didnt help that many of the basic laws of the world seemed different from Earth. Electricity, magnetism, and combustion did not work the way it did on Earth and so many things couldnt be reproduced as he knew them. He could only explain the effect and how certain key parts used different physical or mechanical mechanisms and then let the researchers figure out a solution on their own.
The plans for the fortress had been discussed for dozens of years on the Inner World, and was quite the contentious issue. Should they use rammed earth, the easiest to move and manipulate with earth elemental techniques and brute force? Maybe they should reshape the ground that already exists, or pull down parts of the neighboring mountains to fill the pass and then compress and carve a fortress into it? They could quarry stones from the mountains and enchant each of them to create a giant magical brick wall.
In the end, Sage pushed them towards his own favorite choice and grew the fortress. Just as the paths of his children had been developed, so had his own. Not only could they more easily control the size of the Sacred Banyan, they had also improved upon its compatibility with other techniques. Over the course of a few weeks two parallel lines of trees had shot up. Each of them were three hundred feet tall and sixty feet wide with a hundred foot gap between them. The trees formed three neat lines cutting through the city where the wall to the Lang Clan territory had been. Then, the canopies of these trees intertwined with each other and dropped aerial roots down. These aerial roots multiplied and intertwined, turning the two tree pickets into a solid wall of wood.
As the wall filled in, members of the clan coaxed the vines into different shapes and hollowed out walkways, stairways, and many rooms. The vines grew around these spaces, shaping into stairs, railing, and window frames. In just a few months the pass was now filled entirely by a giant wooden wall. A single gigantic tree, many thousands of feet long, three hundred feet tall, and more than three hundred feet thick. On the outside face it was quite flat vertically, while on the inside it had a gentle slope to accommodate many stairways, ramps and the majority of the canopy. Such a massive amount of wood took a considerable amount of leaves to collect energy, but they didnt want the canopy to form in the standard shape as it would be more vulnerable to outside attack. Instead, the inner side of the wall was like a giant mass of roots, with a forest of trees climbing upwards at a 45 degree angle.
