Eternal life begins with saving my clan

Chapter 133 : Construction of the Spirit Train - Part 2

By the following days, various earthshaking changes took place in Cloudweaver City. Many citizens were confused and worried, but when they heard it was from the sect master, they all complied easily.

Their trust in Su Yen had reached an unreasonable level, and they wouldn't hesitate to give their lives for him. In their hearts, Su Yen had become a god, an unquestionable existence.

Rumors spread on the newly developed app, You Connect, about the pagoda bloodline, and it was believed to have come from Su Yen.

Cloudweaver, being the birth city of Su Yen, embraced this belief with all their hearts. Some groups of people even gathered to form a church for the pagoda.

They started with a few, less than ten, but in a couple of days, their numbers exceeded five hundred and were still counting.

Since Su Yen always wore a white robe, they all wore white as well.

They managed to acquire the nearest building to the massive pagoda at the center of the city and started the pagoda bloodline doctrine.

At the heart of the church was a statue of Su Yen.

Every early morning, before the sun illuminated the land, the pagoda church would gather in front of the massive pagoda in the city.

Their mere presence added a sacred aura in the surrounding of the massive black pagoda.

The church's priests led them in some strange prayer, and even if you weren't a member of the pagoda church, when you came to pray at the massive pagoda in the early morning, you would be compelled to wear a white robe and follow their praying doctrine.

Therefore, when they heard Su Yen give an order, the newly-formed pagoda church took it like a godly command.

They rushed out in hundreds, preaching about the mercy and goodness of Su Yen and why his orders must be followed wholeheartedly.

With the addition of the pagoda church, people surrendered their houses with ease. Some didn't even want to collect relief funds.

Apart from helping the sect persuade people to leave their homes, they even preached about the godly project of the train track tunnel.

With the high wages and the apostles of the pagoda church preaching, people flocked in thousands.

Cloudweaver City was thrown into a period of construction, with work going on both day and night.

The only time the city was quiet was when the pagoda church gathered to pray in front of the pagoda early in the morning.

In the sect, Su Yen was busy with spirit stone carving and runic inscription. Even with his vast experience in formation and runes, he found carving runes on spirit stones somewhat difficult.

His students from the Intelligence academy were working on another project.

Ai and Aiguo were leading the students in conducting an experiment. Su Yen had asked them to develop a model on how to plan the train schedule, avoid collisions, and communicate with the main train station.

For students who had never seen such mechanics before, it took a lot of deep and analytical thinking.

"Sect master…" Elder Mei rushed in and called. "Can you explain this concept to me?" She pointed to a section of the formation written in the book. It was the first time she had seen such a bizarre formation.

Su Yen took the book and looked at the formation before he started explaining it to her.

"This is a metal formation. The energy from the spiritual stone will flow into the formation, and the formation will convert it to metal energy, pushing the metal forward."

As Su Yen continued to explain the underlying concept of the formation, Elder Mei widened her eyes.

She had never expected a formation could be used in such ingenious ways.

"Sect master, thank you. I understand now." Elder Mei bowed and rushed out of the hall with a bright smile on her face.

Looking at her retreating form, Su Yen shook his head. The concept the formation was using was magnetism, with the formation alternating between North and South poles to push the wheel forward.

Like that, Su Yen explained the sudden new concept to all the various department heads.

Three days later, the construction hall was full of people. A mini train track was laid inside the hall, leading a couple of meters outside.

Some of the less busy elders were even there to witness the first spiritual train.

Students from the other academies flocked to the construction hall. Su Yen, at the center of everything, looked at the newly forged metals and clicked his tongue.

'Cultivators would always be cultivators,' he mused.

The forging was smooth and neat, as if it were made by machines. This wouldn't have been possible if they were all mortals.

He threw all the unnecessary thoughts out of his mind and began to issue commands.

Firstly, they were going to make a skeleton frame of the train and test if it would move according to their commands.

Quickly, tens of people from the blacksmith hall began to assemble the metal together.

The process was slow, but no one left as they were all curious about how this metal would move. After one hour of serious work, the structure of the Spirit train appeared in the hall.

"We're done," Elder Jiayi said, with beads of sweat on his forehead. The Spirit train only had one compartment, the control center.

"Elder Mei, it's our turn," Su Yen called.

Elder Mei nodded and began to setup an array of formations on the train. Su Yen, on the other hand, handled the spirit stones and runic inscriptions.

Looking at the two people working with serious concentration, no one in the hall dared to breathe loudly. Everyone waited patiently for the two to complete their work.

Su Yen was the first person to complete his work. He looked at Elder Mei and signaled her. Quickly, they completed setting up the formations.

The crowd looked at Su Yen, waiting for his next action. Su Yen knew what was going on in the minds of the people, and he didn't waste time.

He approached the control center and sat down confidently. He looked at the crowd with bright eyes and asked,

"Are you ready?"
