Chen Yang has not yet finalized the setup of the four new Four Directions Gates, but the Micro Realm is not pressuring him.
First, a campsite should be set up at the junction of the Loess Plateau and the Tianyin Mountains, which would save one or two days of travel time.
Another option is to set up one in the eastern plateau to facilitate travel. Sometimes it would be convenient to send a sheep or a horse over.
Then there's Ten Thousand Snake Island. It's the largest island they've discovered so far, with enormous potential, so setting up a Four Directions Gate there would be worthwhile.
But the last one is a bit hard to say.
Chen Yang was hesitating about whether to set up another camp at the West Boundary River.
Getting to the West Boundary River camp was actually a bit troublesome. At first, it took a whole day on horseback. However, after they became familiar with the path, moved the obstacles, and upgraded their horses to tall, powerful horses from the plateau, the time was reduced considerably.
But it will still take most of the day.
The West Boundary River Camp is undoubtedly the second largest camp after the Xindu Camp.
At first, it was just Jiang Bo and Ye Wen, but later more residents joined, and many older residents had stayed there for a period of time.
The temperature difference at the West Boundary River campsite is smaller, unlike the Xindu campsite, allowing for staggered planting. It is also currently the largest planting base.
The planting area of the Xindu camp is actually not large. Most of the planting is done at the Xijiehe camp. They even made a wagon for this purpose, which is used to transport goods between the two places.
However, the journey takes most of the day; it's neither too close nor too far.
After discussing it with the villagers for a while and hesitating for a few days, Chen Yang decided that they would no longer need to stay at the West Boundary River camp.
There are some resources along the way from the West Boundary River Camp to the Xindu Camp, and even their planting areas. Even if the Four Directions Gate were opened, it would be impossible to take care of these.
However, they plan to wait until this winter to have Xue Kui come and help completely clear a road.
There's no need to pave the road; just clear away the stones and grass, and fill in any uneven areas. Then dig a well and build a supply station along the way, since they can detect water sources anyway.
This will save a lot of time getting from the western border river to the camp.
The West Boundary River camp is not far away and is also in the Ink Plains, so traveling back and forth is not troublesome. Therefore, it is better not to waste a teleportation portal.
A few residents of the western border river camp had some minor objections to this, but most of them were quite supportive.
This last four-way gate will have to be put aside for now, and used when a suitable location is found.
“I’ll go to that island in the northeast and see if it’s worth developing. If it is, then let’s design the Four Gates there.”
Chen Yang suddenly remembered the island he had seen in the distance in the northern part of the Eastern Chieftain Grassland.
He initially thought the development would be too troublesome, so he never went to that island. However, now that there is a Four Directions Gate, he has started to have his eye on the island. If he could put a teleportation gate directly on the island, the development difficulty would be reduced by several levels.
Of course, the premise is that the island is worth developing. If it is a barren island with no resources, it would be better to put the gate in the West Boundary River camp, which would at least make things much more convenient for them.
Chen Yang also wanted to test the power of his Pure Heart Sword on the way to the island.
He even considered testing it on an island, believing that its power would be more evident on land than at sea.
Therefore, he has been actively channeling spiritual energy into the Nurturing Heart Sword in the past few days.
The biggest difference between the Pure Heart Sword and the human's absorption of spiritual energy is that the Pure Heart Sword does not circulate; it simply absorbs it.
Humans absorb energy, which circulates within the body before being excreted. The absorption efficiency is less than one-tenth that of the Su Xin Sword.
The Pure Heart Sword can draw upon a great deal of energy from heaven and earth, and with the added energy it stores, its attack power is undoubtedly extremely strong, though Chen Yang doesn't know just how strong it is.
Sword Soul, as its name suggests, truly possesses a soul.
However, this soul is different; it has no emotions, no desires, only spirituality and instincts.
The simplest instinct of the Pure Heart Sword's soul is to devour and destroy.
However, this was merely the sword's instinct; the true controller was Chen Yang.
Looking at the sword spirit of the Pure Heart Sword, Chen Yang felt that the weapon spirits in ancient legends really existed, and that everything could have a soul.
Chen Yang had sensed it before: things created by humans with painstaking effort possess a soul.
However, this soul is vastly different from the sword soul of the Pure Heart Sword. The former merely possesses a faint aura, while the latter is a true soul.
After nurturing the Pure Heart Sword for more than ten days, Chen Yang prepared to set off to visit that island.
He could see the outline of that island directly from the shore, so it must not be too far away.
In fact, Chen Yang could have gone there earlier, but he felt it was unnecessary to divert the camp's attention, so he did not continue exploring.
If that island had been explored earlier, there would definitely have been people from other regions who wanted to go there. Back then, the camp didn't have the resources to develop a remote island.
Now that we have the Four Gates, it's all good. It doesn't require much preparation, nor is it troublesome. The Four Gates connect all the different areas of the entire Microverse.
The location of the center of Xindu Town can now be definitively determined. As long as the Four Gates remain, Xindu Town will always be the center.
Chen Yang arrived at the Eastern Chieftain Grassland through the Four Directions Gate.
He hasn't been to the Eastern UAE grasslands for a little while.
The East Chief Grassland Camp is now quite well-developed, with all the necessary facilities and the development of local resources.
The climate of the Eastern Frontier is very different and offers a variety of resources, but the most popular food is the meat provided by the Eastern Frontier camps.
The East Eurasian steppe is like the African savanna, with a wide variety of creatures, and they eat many different kinds of things.
After enjoying rhinoceros meat at the East Emirates Grassland camp, Chen Yang set off for the northern islands.
He was so fast that he reached the coast in just over two hours.
This time, he doesn't plan to use a wingsuit. With his current control over the wind and water, crossing the sea is no longer a difficult task.
Chen Yang didn't even need a running start; he leaped directly into the sea.
He strode through the waves like a bolt of lightning on the sea.
Some fish became his helpers, and he would occasionally step on their bodies to travel.
However, when he was halfway across the sea, he suddenly sensed a peculiar spiritual aura.
This spiritual aura was immense and ancient, older than the spiritual aura of any animal he had ever seen.
Chen Yang tried to transmit his natural inspiration to this soul aura, and the aura also seemed to have a hint of doubt, which led Chen Yang to judge that the other party's intelligence was not bad.
He arrived on the island first, found a cliff, and waited there.
In his sight, a giant octopus-like monster revealed its terrifying body in the churning seawater.
