My Apocalypse Territory

Sun Yu shook his head, "I come from Tao Sect."

Tao Sect?

Wang Hu was stunned and pondered, his mind completely void of any impression of this Sect.

Sun Yu continued, "Our Tao Sect is led by the Human Race and has only recently been established. We are currently recruiting disciples, and we are building a giant city. I see that the Cliff Heart Empire has little left for the Human Race to call home, so you might as well consider moving to our place."

Wang Hu was just worried about having nowhere to go; Sun Yu's words struck a chord with him.

Both being of the Human Race and having been saved by Sun Yu, he had no doubt about it, especially since the proposal came from a genuine Heavenly Pride of the Human Race.

"Then may I ask, where is Tao Sect?"

"Our Tao Sect is located in the Celestine Mountain Range."

"The Celestine Mountain Range?"

Wang Hu searched through his memories, but... it seemed he hadn't heard of this region either.

Sun Yu knew what he was thinking and projected a three-dimensional map of the continent from an Image Retention Crystal.

He pointed to a small twisted piece of the map, "This here is the Cliff Heart Empire, over there are the eight great Kingdoms..."

Then he pointed to another end of the map, "And our Tao Sect is established here."

Wang Hu was just a minor Awakener; he had never even left the Cliff Heart Empire... no, the Human Race Province; he couldn't understand the map.

But,

he could still see that the territory of the Cliff Heart Empire was only as big as a thumbnail, and the distance between the Cliff Heart Empire and the Tao Sect was at least, at least as far as two palms.

(￣△￣;)!!

He looked at the map, then at Sun Yu, and after a long while, he managed to squeeze out a sentence with a pained expression, "With our abilities, we can't even leave the Empire, let alone travel to the Celestine Mountain Range."

"How could we possibly go on foot," Sun Yu said with a smile. "Of course, we'd use a Transmission Array. I couldn't manage that distance on foot or by flight either."

"But the cost of using a Transmission Array is prohibitive."

Wang Hu hesitated.

Many in the Stepping Void Realm couldn't afford a Transmission Array, and Wang Hu had no doubt that this Human Race Heavenly Pride and his backing Tao Sect could not afford the fees. However, they were just a group of ordinary people and low-tier Awakeners, and the cost of teleportation alone was worth more than they were.

Sun Yu had already anticipated this line of thinking, or rather, such common concerns had already been addressed, and arrangements had been made.

"Our Sect Master has already instructed that those willing to settle in the cities under the Tao Sect can have the Transmission Array fee waived.

Moreover, the Transmission Array to our Tao Sect is established within the Human Race Province, only a few hundred kilometers from East Sun City."

Wang Hu's eyes went wide, "You, you're saying the Transmission Array is our own, belonging to the Human Race?"

He couldn't help but be surprised.

The Human Race was weak, and the lack of strong members was one issue, but the control of various technologies was also key.

High-end Divine Weapon forging techniques, Transmission Array technology, rare medicinal herb cultivation techniques—very few were in the hands of the Human Race.

Of course, with the current strength of the Human Race, even if they had the Transmission Array technology, they wouldn't dare to expose it.

As Sun Yu spoke with Wang Hu, he didn't lower his voice.

Yang Hong and other Human Clan Warriors all overheard and showed wild excitement.

There were hundreds of them, and just the cost of teleportation was a huge sum; such an expense being waived outright by the Sect Master of Tao Sect impressed them greatly.

It seemed,

the Sect they were about to travel to, led by the Human Race, was not short on financial resources.

Wang Hu and the others had long been prepared to flee and had nothing to pack up. Only Wang Hu and other warriors picked up the weapons left by the Kingdom's bandits, and then the group quickly left East Sun City.

Perhaps because of the disturbance caused by Sun Yu's battle with the Lizard Man, they encountered no obstacles as they left the city.

Sun Yu took out several floating transport vehicles from his space ring, and both the elderly and the warriors got on board.

The floating transport vehicles could adapt to sea, land, and air terrains and were equipped with a certain degree of armament, foolproof and brainless to operate, easy to get the hang of.

Sun Yu only gave brief instructions, and Wang Hu and others controlled the energy-gathering cannons on the transport vehicles, shooting down quite a few Mutant Beasts, and even encountered a Kingdom infantry corps; powering the vehicles to full throttle, they quickly left the infantry corps far behind.

"These Tao Sect vehicles are way too advanced. The energy-gathering cannons are as powerful as the city defense cannons..." Wang Hu fell in love with the zipping feeling at once.

"This isn't a combat vehicle but a common transport vehicle. If you like it, you can buy one for yourself when we get to the city owned by our sect."

Just a transport vehicle?!

Wang Hu felt that the combat capability of this vehicle was even stronger than his own!

How strong would a real combat vehicle be?!

He experienced the depth of the Tao Sect once again.

"Available for purchase?! Forget it, I definitely can't afford it. I haven't saved much over the years serving in the City Defense Army." Wang Hu felt disheartened.

Sun Yu patted his shoulder, "Brother, your mindset still hasn't shifted. We're about to go to our own Human Race city, where you'll start a new life. Are you still worried about not earning Source Crystals? Without boasting too much, ardently working to buy a vehicle is not difficult.

Moreover, if any of you pass the sect's assessment and become a Tao Sect disciple, you won't lack cultivation skills or resources in the future."

Sun Yu looked at the young men and women inside the vehicle, "Even as a commoner, it's not impossible to pass the assessments. Brother Wang Hu, you might be older, but you also have the opportunity to compete for a staff position in the Outer Sect."

With this conversation, Wang Hu and the others were filled with anticipation.

The transport vehicle navigated over hills and dales, maintaining a near two hundred kilometers per hour speed.

After more than two hours, a valley appeared in front of them.

This was deep mountain territory, rarely trodden by human footsteps.

As they entered the valley, from afar, Wang Hu saw through the window two thirty-meter-tall black towers, guarding either side of the valley.

Just then, a Green Pattern Cheetah, as tall as a two-story building, leaped down from the steep slope of the valley at such a speed that he could only see a green streak.

Awakening Tier Perfection, and among them, a particularly powerful breed.

Instinctively,

Wang Hu was about to operate the energy-gathering cannon, his palm almost touching the handle, when a black streak flashed before his eyes.

He thought it was an illusion, but suddenly saw a rune arrow embedded in the forehead of the Green Pattern Cheetah. The entire arrow had almost completely penetrated the Cheetah's head, leaving just a small section of the fletching protruding.

Wang Hu wasn't surprised at all.

Just a one-shot kill of a Mutant Beast at Perfection? For the Tao Sect, that's just the basics, yes, the basic operations!

No matter what else he might see, Wang Hu would not be shocked anymore!

Though it felt like his chest was struggling to catch a breath.

The floating transport slowed down, continuing until they reached the center of the valley.

There,

Wang Hu and the others saw towering black spires.

And even more luxurious and obviously expensive white towers, with enormous white Crystal Balls suspended at their summits.

At the center, guarded by a dozen or so spires, was a circular platform, about two to three steps high and fifty meters in diameter.

Like a small plaza.

Along the edge of the plaza, eight tapered, hexagonal pillars spread out at even intervals.

On the platform, on the stone slabs as smooth as mirrors, one could see mysterious and profound patterns, visible to the naked eye.

Wang Hu did not understand them, but marveled nonetheless.
