Chapter 433: Chapter 218: Power of Rules, a Higher Level of Energy

Inner City. The Mansion.

Tining, who was tending to the Moonlight Orchids in the back garden, seemed to sense something and abruptly looked up at the sky.

An immense tower hung suspended in the air above the mansion.

Sunlight filtered past its massive form, casting a vast shadow over the mansion.

"Eee! Eee!" Xiaoyi cried out, pointing at the colossal tower in the sky.

Surprise filled Tining’s eyes. "That’s a Wizard Tower," she said.

"Eee! Eee!"

"Whose? It must be... Pei Ze’s!"

Tining’s eyes gradually brightened.

She knew that Pei Ze was building a Wizard Tower.

And now that a Wizard Tower had suddenly materialized above the mansion, the owner’s identity was unmistakable.

Her guess was soon confirmed.

Tining perceived a flash of light, and suddenly Pei Ze was beside her, smiling at them.

"Eee! Eee!"

Xiaoyi immediately zipped over, dancing around him in the air and chirping with excitement.

"Alright, I know, I’ll take you up there in a bit."

After soothing the little creature, Pei Ze turned his gaze to Tining.

The Half Deer Maiden said with a radiant smile, "Congratulations, Pei Ze."

Even though she hadn’t been in Chenxi City for long, Tining knew what it meant for an Elemental Mage to possess a Wizard Tower.

It was safe to say that Pei Ze was now, without a doubt, a top-tier combat power in Chenxi City, standing at the very top of the pyramid.

Pei Ze smiled and said with a grand wave of his hand, "Let’s go. Pack your things. We’re moving."

The entire mansion was soon bustling with activity.

Under the Nymph’s direction, the Water Sprites began moving everything they were taking into the spacious courtyard.

The Wood Elves and Withered Leaf Fairies were also busy transporting the rare plants from the herb garden.

Even Mo Ying emerged from the Dragon Hall, curiously sizing up the Wizard Tower high in the sky.

Pei Ze set up a Teleportation Array in the center of the courtyard that connected to the interior of the Wizard Tower.

The destination floor within the Wizard Tower was entirely controlled by Tower Spirit 1.

VMMMM!

As the light pulsed, Clay Golems began to step out of the Teleportation Array.

These were the "janitors" Pei Ze had created, responsible for cleaning the Wizard Tower.

Clay Golems possessed simple intelligence and could only perform tasks that were easy to understand and not overly complex.

But that was enough; they could handle most of the cleaning and other miscellaneous chores in the Wizard Tower.

As for more complex work, he could simply select some fairies to take charge after bringing over the Spirit Creatures from the Ancient Forest Plane.

With the help of the Clay Golems, the move was completed quickly.

The Nymph led the Water Sprites to begin setting up the Wizard Tower, the Wood Elves and Withered Leaf Fairies busied themselves replanting the precious flora, and Pei Ze took Tining and the Ancient Tree Deer Spirits to their new home.

Gazing at the endless plain before her and feeling the gentle breeze on her skin, Tining couldn’t help but look amazed.

"Wizards are truly incredible," she marveled. "To be able to create such a vast plain inside a tower."

This plain was far more expansive than the one at the mansion, and it was filled with rich Wood Elemental Energy.

If she didn’t know for certain that she was inside the Wizard Tower, Tining would have thought she had returned to the plains in the Ancient Forest Plane where her people had lived for so many years.

"The Wizard Tower has only just been built, so many areas aren’t perfected yet."

Pei Ze said with a smile.

"When I have some free time, I’ll set up a few Elemental Activity Arrays to further increase the concentration of Wood Elemental Energy here."

"Also, you all can plant Moonlight Orchids and Falling Star Flowers here. I’ll have the Nymph send the seeds over later."

"Okay!"

Tining nodded emphatically and began to walk around happily, her hooves clopping incessantly on the ground.

After a moment, she came to Pei Ze’s side and said with great solemnity, "Pei Ze, I know I’ve said it many times, but I must thank you again!"

If it weren’t for Pei Ze, she and her people would have certainly been destroyed along with the Ancient Forest Plane.

Instead, they were here, in a safe and secure habitat, no longer having to worry about being invaded by enemies at any moment.

Pei Ze smiled faintly. "You don’t need to take it so much to heart. Just think of it as a transaction."

"Gaining a powerful ally with Fourth-level Combat Power like you is a good thing for me, too."

Tining replied with a serious expression, "I will do my best!"

’She understood the principle of equivalent exchange.’

’Pei Ze saved her people’s lives and provided them with a habitat. In return, of course, they had to fight for him.’

"For now, just focus on settling in."

"In a few days, we’ll set off for the Ancient Forest Plane to bring Elder Leiot and the others here."

...

After leaving the Ancient Tree Courtyard, Pei Ze took Mo Ying to the Shadow Nest.

The entire nest had been fashioned into a cavern, and the air was thick with rich Shadow Energy.

Unlike elemental energy, Shadow Energy couldn’t be drawn directly from the Element Pool. Pei Ze had specifically opened a channel connecting to the Shadow Plane to continuously draw Shadow Energy from it.

The side effect was that, from time to time, Shadow Creatures would pass through the channel and end up here.

However, compared to having such rich Shadow Energy, this was a small price to pay.

The Shadow Creatures that could get through the channel were never very powerful—first-level at most. They posed no threat to Mo Ying and merely served as extra food for it.

In contrast, the benefits were quite significant.

Mo Ying’s growth rate would increase dramatically in this environment.

Pei Ze estimated that in seven or eight years at most, Mo Ying should be able to break through to the fourth level.

’At that point, he would have another asset with Fourth-level Combat Power under his command.’

After settling Mo Ying in, Pei Ze appeared in an instant before the Element Pool on the first floor. With a flick of his wrist, a dazzlingly beautiful Crystal Stone materialized in his palm.
