Who let him join the Sword Sect?!

Chapter 1152 - 540: To Get Rich, Plant Trees First (Part 2)

The shamans of the Holy Tree Division, together with the dinosaurs left over there and the cultivators of Medicine King Valley and the Beast Taming Sect, sent that base into Mountain and Sea.After the setup was completed, Zhang Ze signaled the Northern Territory side to run another test.

As the statue of Zhang Ze atop the Amplification Tower lit up, Fuji and Dazed Girl once again began ramming at full speed.

This time, unlike before, they didn’t get stuck rubbing back and forth at the entrance; they went straight in all the way, directly linking to Mountain and Sea.

The Northern Territory’s Amplification Tower activated and directly sent Li Yueqi and Hei Qu, along with a portion of Fuji and Dazed Girl, inside.

Then very soon, they took the elevator from Mountain and Sea back to the Four Continents, and once again activated the Amplification Tower on the Holy Tree Division’s side.

With this third Amplification Tower lighting up, they entered Mountain and Sea once more.

After that, they repeatedly went in and out a few more times.

Having completed the "Seven Entries and Seven Exits" achievement, Junior Sister happily reported to Zhang Ze, "It worked, Senior Brother, no problems this time."

But Zhang Ze shook his head. "Don’t celebrate too early..."

As he finished speaking, he pulled Tongtong and the others into a video conference. "Does the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion still have any spare Amplification Towers?"

"Yes. Based on the Central Continent Tower’s parameters, we’ve tuned a total of seven; they just came off the assembly line. There are twenty-five more that haven’t been tuned yet."

Zhang Ze said, "Insert one of the tuned Amplification Towers right where you are, then send the remaining six... over to Central Continent. According to this spacing, spread them out and test them one by one."

Zhang Ze drew a big, multi-ringed set of concentric circles in the air, with the Holy Tree sapling as the center, extending all the way to the Central State border.

Though it was all a bit rushed, they still got the experimental results before sunrise.

This suddenly-inserted experiment, though, couldn’t really be called good or bad.

The good news was that the Amplification Towers were confirmed to work and didn’t malfunction.

The bad news was that the towers’ teleportation function could only operate within the Holy Tree’s coverage range.

And once outside that range, the Mind Network connection would also be affected to a certain extent.

As for that range......

The giant Holy Tree among the Western Barbarians hasn’t been tested yet, but the little sapling here in Central Continent is a bit lacking.

It can’t even cover half of Central Continent.

This is just the initial test too; only Fuji and the others were linked together.

Zhang Ze hasn’t even taken the field yet. If the signal radius isn’t large, then once Zhang Ze enters Baiyujing again and joins the network, it’ll probably only cover half of Central Continent at best.

The Holy Tree over there may have a vast range, but there is no Baiyujing, and no Source of Ten Thousand Laws, so it’s completely outside Zhang Ze’s service area.

In short, it’s a bit of a headache.

Zhang Ze scratched his head and looked at Di Zhuomala.

Lao Di shook her head. "There really aren’t any more. Holy Tree seeds aren’t Chinese cabbage; there was only that one. Unless... ahem, nothing, forget it."

She had originally wanted to say "Unless you let Fuji work a bit harder and ram the Holy Tree again to see if it can squeeze out another seed."

But the moment the words reached her lips, she immediately realized how wrong that sounded.

Even just thinking it felt wrong.

She was going to be the Holy Tree’s Main Priest someday; how could she be so disloyal?

It must be Zhang Ze’s corruption! He’s fully responsible!

Lao Di muttered a few words under her breath, then raised both hands high, bounced twice in front of the Holy Tree, and started doing single-knee squats.

Hoping to cleanse her impure thoughts through a ritual.

But spirit-dancing couldn’t solve the problem. After thinking for a bit, Xiangxiang offered her opinion.

She suggested they move.

A very reliable method, but also very troublesome......

Just as Zhang Ze was about to go talk it over with the Old Ascenders, Junior Sister suddenly raised her hand.

"Actually, it doesn’t have to be Holy Tree seeds only. We can make do with other stuff too, right?"

"What do you mean?" Zhang Ze didn’t get it.

"Sigh, you’ve gone senile again." Junior Sister sighed. "The Holy Tree’s foot callus—ah no, I mean the Holy Tree bark fragments work just as well.

"Did you forget? Before you entered the Holy Land, you went to Devouring Wind Valley in West Continent. In order to talk to my dad, you catalyzed a fragment of Holy Tree bark."

Junior Sister took out another little walnut device, flipped through it for a moment, and found a picture.

In a bare, barren valley, on a round boulder, there grew a golden tree just over two meters tall, super mini, and half-illusory, half-solid.

"Just use that." Junior Sister said.

Zhang Ze said, "But... are this thing’s roots long enough?"

This thing’s power was limited; without external help, its roots couldn’t reach either the Holy Land or Mountain and Sea.

As for waiting for it to grow up and turn fully solid, that’d be pointless; by then the whole situation would be long over.

Junior Sister put her hands on her hips and sighed again. "I keep saying you’re dumb and you never believe me. If we can’t connect to the Holy Land, can’t we at least connect to the Holy Tree?

"We just plant more of them. We link the roots of all these little trees to the small tree in Central Continent, weaving them into a big, big, big net.

"Then we use each little tree as a node and set up Amplification Towers around them."

Zhang Ze looked at Lao Di, who had just finished her workout.

Di Zhuomala nodded. "No seeds, but foot callus... pft, I mean bark, we’ve got plenty."

After she said that, she turned back to the Holy Tree and started doing squats again.

With the train of thought opened up, Li Yueqi also put forward an idea.

"Actually, it doesn’t have to be bark only. Grafting works too. You forgot that Senior Sister Xiaoxue did exactly that before.

"Her Second Layer body was grafted together with a Holy Tree branch, and she could share the Holy Tree’s power.

"How about... I go ask her?"

"Sure." Zhang Ze nodded. "I’ll go discuss things with the Sect Leader and the others.

"Oh, right, Tongtong, speed up production on the Amplification Towers too. If we use Junior Sister’s method, the number needed might end up way higher than we expected."
