Chapter 2486 The Great Reorganization of Yujing City
The city of Yujing, which had been paralyzed for a long time, suddenly stirred up again, and with great fanfare.
This time, all the monsters hiding in the nooks and crannies were driven out of Jade Capital City by the stone men, and those that refused to leave were killed on the spot.
Mother Earth isn't exactly good-tempered either.
After Shangguan Biao's death, his former subordinates scattered like birds and beasts, each fleeing for their lives, leaving few behind in the city. However, the terrain of Yujing City was extremely complex, and even though the Earth Mother created numerous stone clones, it took her two days to drive away the remaining forces.
From this moment forward, this city is completely severed from Shangguan Biao. It has a new master and is no longer burdened by the blood feud of the past.
During these two days, the Earth Mother also began to take stock of and organize the legacy left by Shangguan Biao.
You won't know until you try it, and you'll be shocked when you do.
Shangguan Biao's accumulated resources and treasures over the past few thousand years are a bit... too abundant.
He Lingchuan had once plundered a treasure trove in the Ghost King's underground palace in the Gold Plains, and that money lasted until the Dragon God War. But compared to Shangguan Biao's collection, the Ghost King's was like a miniature wizard compared to a great wizard—they were simply not in the same league!
For example, Shangguan Biao placed a blood jade coral tree in his residence, its height an astonishing three zhang (approximately 10 meters), a rare sight even in the mortal realm, comparable only to one found in the Dragon Palace. However, upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the coral material was not blood jade at all, but clearly blood-colored mystic crystal!
Such a large crystal tree weighs in the thousands of pounds. Not to mention how much scrap material is removed during the process of carving the crystal into coral!
Even scraps are Xuanjing, high-purity Xuanjing. Fifteen years ago, a single blood-red Xuanjing the size of a pearl could trigger a bloodbath between two sects. Back then, even immortals couldn't have such abundant resources, yet Shangguan Biao allowed Jade Capital City to remain hidden underground, comfortably enduring over two thousand years of spiritual scarcity.
The coral was also adorned with rare and precious items, probably for Shangguan Biao's own enjoyment, but each item was perfectly placed.
Even though Dong Rui has seen a lot in the past decade and is used to seeing good things, he was still stunned when he saw this coral tree. He cursed a few times before saying, "If this thing is taken out, it will not only fail to ward off evil spirits, but will also bring about a fatal disaster! Sigh, putting aside Shangguan Biao's character, this guy is quite capable of making money and building things."
To describe someone as extremely wealthy, the most apt description is "rich enough to rival a nation." But Shangguan Biao's wealth was not just comparable to that of a nation, but rather to several or even a dozen nations.
"That's all ill-gotten gains!" the righteous Aunt Zhu snorted. "Don't you even think about how he amassed his wealth and fortune?"
He Lingchuan understood Shangguan Biao's character very well: "There is always a big hole in his heart, and he has to find a way to fill it."
"Can it be filled?"
"No. That's why he indulged in extravagance and luxury, but he was never satisfied."
The inventory of treasures in Jade Capital City is still ongoing; it's never-ending. The Earth Mother estimates it will take at least another year to sort it out.
This is only because it has a large army of stone golems; if other forces were to do this, it would take at least eight to ten years to resolve the issue.
How could someone possibly organize the wealth that Shangguan Biao had spent thousands of years collecting and plundering in just one year?
The little stone man also frequently unearthed rare treasures from all sorts of nooks and crannies. There were countless small spaces like the one where Bao Chihai hid back then in Yujing City, often hiding unexpected surprises.
Mother Earth knew everything, but she said to He Lingchuan:
"Leave me some spare Xuanjing, the rest are yours."
Mystic Crystals are its staple food. Humans may value other fancy things, but it doesn't care about them at all. What it wants has always been very pure.
He Lingchuan patted it on the shoulder.
Everyone looked at the giant stone man with newfound respect. Who said it was stupid?
In this respect, it surpasses even 90% of humans.
The Earth Mother began to rebuild the area that had been cleared.
In the previous battles, Panlong New Secret Realm had already devoured most of the secret realms in Yujing City, leaving only three ruins with powerful guardian spirits, such as the Ghost City Gate, which would be slowly integrated later.
Outside Panlong Ancient City, if the Earth Mother taps a designated area, a large, dark hole will appear underground, swallowing everything on the surface.
Whether it's soil, trees, solid rock, or even buildings on the ground, everything is sucked into this bottomless pit until nothing can be sucked in anymore—
According to the Earth Mother's plan, she only intends to preserve a few main landmarks of Jade Capital City as spoils of war, while discarding or demolishing all other illegal buildings. The new land will be divided into plains, rivers, and hills, possibly with a few patches of quicksand and mud pits, which is her favorite ecological landscape.
Its back will become simple, clean, and refreshing.
Several vacant lots outside the city were leveled and cleared one after another, and the ancient city of Panlong stood here, giving it a sense of vastness and grandeur.
At He Lingchuan's suggestion, the Earth Mother leveled and fertilized these large vacant plots of land, and then transplanted the spiritual plants from the Flowing Light Secret Realm into them.
Shangguan Biao used the Flowing Light Secret Realm to replicate the Du Zhishan incident. The characters in it are fictional, but the spiritual plants and herbs are genuine and can be used and grown in reality, with outstanding quality.
Influenced by the power of Mother Earth, the soil inside and outside Panlong Ancient City is incredibly fertile and full of spiritual energy; it would be a real shame not to plant some good things there.
He Lingchuan personally planted that golden lotus in the wind and dew in Panlong Ancient City, placing it in the Blessed Pond in the South Gate Square.
A gentle breeze blows, and the lotus leaves sway with dew; this is its true beauty.
This extraordinary flower has a past burdened with far too much undue weight.
Dong Rui also entered the city, looking around and discovered that the northern city wall of Panlong Ancient City, which had been collapsed by Yujing City, had been repaired.
Although it is no longer the original version, Mother Earth is kind-hearted and has tried her best to restore it to its original state.
……
The battle of Jade Capital City is over, and the Heavenly Demons have withdrawn, but Mount Ling has not yet left.
Over the years, due to the common enemy of the Heavenly Demon, the relationship between Cang Yan and Ling Shan has largely been one of cooperation, mutual support, and exchange of resources. In particular, Emperor Wu Huan of the Mu Kingdom often had private correspondence with He Ling Shan. Therefore, Emperor Jiu You and Si Hai Zhenren, the representative of Ling Shan, held an in-depth and friendly meeting.
Of course, the people of Lingshan treated him in a completely different way than they had treated "General Tiger Wing" before.
Regardless of their reasons for coming, the important role they played in the Battle of Jade Capital cannot be denied. He Lingchuan naturally expressed his gratitude, praising Master Sihai and others extensively, and even listing which of Master Sihai's disciples had performed exceptionally well on the battlefield.
Without a doubt, the Nine Nether Emperor was the biggest beneficiary of the battle in Jade Capital. Since he had gained so much, he didn't mind treating the other party with even more courtesy and giving them more face.
Apart from Master Sihai, everyone else who was praised had beaming faces and couldn't hide their smiles.
