Chapter 403: Chapter 290: Epic Architecture, Staff of Divine Right (6K)

The Land of Challenge, within personal space.

Mu Yuan’s figure appeared here, surrounded by seven treasures that emitted a bluish radiance.

“As expected, there’s no purple light.”

He wasn’t surprised.

The gap between the Epic and Superior grades was particularly vast. This was true among troops, and it was the same with buildings or other creations.

Epic Miracle Buildings were even rarer than Epic Lifeforms.

“It is said that the most precious reward for passing the third area’s Yellow Giant Tower is an Epic Level Random Remnant Soul.”

Thinking of this, he became rather disinterested in the Yellow Giant Tower.

Epic troops? Who are they trying to impress?

This Yellow Giant Tower, let’s not bother with it.

Of course, he wouldn’t be able to pass it anyway. Mu Yuan estimated that with his current level, he might be able to get through the first or second challenges of the Yellow Tower, but truly clearing it was a far-fetched dream.

Lord Linglong Shen Linglong, who he had met several times, was currently challenging the Yellow Giant Tower.

She was a seventh-level Great Lord.

Her subordinates had yet to reach the Legendary Realm, and her top Four-order wasn’t as good as his Tianyuan Division. However, Mu Yuan wouldn’t assume that his comprehensive strength was above Shen Linglong’s.

The power of a Lord was often not reflected in individuals but in groups.

Whether it was Shen Linglong, who made the Dragon Gate List, or the Lord of Amber City, who wasn’t outstanding in the Land of Two Realms, their strongest force was their legion.

If things went as usual, they would have an Army Spirit legion with a scale of over a thousand.

However, a legion moving out couldn’t compare to the agility of individual experts. When Lords explored the wilds and searched for treasures, they would often only take a handful of elites, not pulling an entire legion along and maintaining a fully integrated formation to advance steadily… That would be terribly inefficient.

“Clearing the Yellow Giant Tower is still quite far off for me, and the difficulty of areas further up is becoming increasingly unreasonable…”

“It’s said that the top area hasn’t even been reached by anyone.”

Mu Yuan shook his head, his thoughts were wandering too far.

He looked at the treasures in front of him.

Among the seven treasures, aside from three Superior prototypes, the rest were all top-notch. These treasures were difficult even for a Lord with a substantial amount of contribution to exchange for from the Taixuan Covenant Platform.

After all, they were usually out of stock.

“The value of The Hero’s Proof goes without saying. This credential… well, let the commanders who have not advanced to heroes compete for it themselves.”

That left three other items.

The Guiding Landmark, a choice of blueprint, and the upgrade stone.

‘Guiding Landmark·Merchant’

‘Grade: Superior’

‘Description: A special guiding landmark. Once established, it can greatly increase the territory’s attractiveness to special talents. Also, a territory with this special landmark has a probability of attracting mysterious merchants who travel among thousands of worlds to briefly stop here.’

Mu Yuan touched his chin, “Mysterious merchants?”

He had never heard of them.

Perhaps a special kind of person, the elite among merchants. If a Lord is fortunate enough to meet such a merchant, could they purchase some rare items from them?

And the cost?

If it’s trade, what would a Lord need to pay to obtain precious treasures?

“Too little information, only when we meet them will we understand.”

“Anyway, even without considering the merchants, this Superior grade landmark has the ability to attract special talents. That’s enough.”

Talents—who can never have too many of them.

Mu Yuan picked up another treasure that glowed with a soft blue light.

‘Miracle Blueprint·Choice (Superior)’

‘Description: You can choose a Miracle Building blueprint within the range of your own knowledge.’

‘Note: Please select the blueprint within one hour. If the time limit is exceeded, a random Superior blueprint will be generated.’

Within the range of knowledge means the blueprints the user can at least name.

He wouldn’t be able to choose a blueprint that has the abilities he wants but couldn’t precisely name.

Mu Yuan pondered.

“There are many types of Superior grade buildings, and I can name and describe the capabilities of quite a few.”

In his mind flowed a variety of Miracle Buildings he recalled from high-grade information, along with their major abilities.

Some caught his eye, and he had even thought that if his contribution was plentiful in the future and Taixuan Covenant Platform had stock, he should exchange for a few.

For instance, the Superior building ‘Energy Well,’ which could gather and store significant amounts of energy, could power an entire city or be used to charge and amplify specific Miracle Buildings and facilities.

Another example would be the Superior building ‘Sky-clearing Dragon Court.’ It was a place for training and breakthroughs that could significantly enhance the meditator’s insight and aid users in breaking through some higher order barriers.

And then there’s…

Many good items, but he could only choose one.

However,

“A Superior building, no matter how strong, is not as good as putting together an Epic building.”

‘Collect “Magic Axis,” “Magic Furnace,” and “Magic Celestial Instrument,” three Superior-grade buildings, to construct an assembled Epic Miracle Building.’

Now, to gather the three components and construct an Epic Building, he was only missing one…

The core component, the Magic Axis.

The time was ripe; the glory of the Epic Building was about to shine.

‘Ding!’

‘Notification: Your choice of blueprint has been transformed into the Miracle Blueprint “Magic Axis (Superior).”‘

The blueprint, floating in front of him and emitting a faint bluish radiance, slowly changed, with an imposing golden building coming into view.
