Chapter 168: Refining Bull Head and Building the Heavenly Book World
After the Taixu Realm was shattered last time, the Heavenly Book seemed to have absorbed the power of the Taixu Realm from it. Now its area has become the size of a town.

After entering the world of heavenly book, Mo Hao carefully observed the surrounding environment.

Unlike the previous spiritual observation, this time he entered completely with his physical body, allowing Mo Hao to experience more things through his senses.

The breeze blowing in his face, the sunlight shining on his body, and the chirping of insects in the weeds all told Mo Hao that this was not an illusion.

This is a paradise with all the elements needed for the biosphere, and even suitable species can be introduced to carry out the biological cycle.

Looking at the scorching sun above his head, Mo Hao could be sure that it was definitely not something like a background texture, but the real sun.

"It is indeed a heavenly book created using the power of the Donghuang Bell. It can definitely be called a small world."

Everything that should be in the external environment is here, except that the biosphere seems to have been cleaned and only some insects can be seen so far. Compared with the complete world, the only difference between this place and the complete world may be the scale.

After observing the surrounding environment, Mo Hao determined that the Heavenly Book World was sufficient to serve as his logistics base.

However, this land still needs some manpower to repair and build it before it can be transformed into a qualified logistics base.

Similarly, not everyone can enter this place, and Mo Hao is not confident in revealing the existence of the Heavenly Book to others.

He knew very well that once the world of the Heavenly Book became known to other people, he would have to face enemies attracted by the treasures.

From a certain perspective, the Heavenly Book is more valuable than all the other items on Mo Hao combined.

After observing the environment, Mo Hao found something he could use for the next step in an open space.

A herd of cows.

He purchased a total of one hundred cows from the farm through the Tree House.

The cows were sent to the warehouse and then collected by Mo Hao into the Heavenly Book World.

He found a clean place to sit cross-legged, then Mo Hao took a deep breath, and the hundreds of cows turned into a pile of bones without any trace of flesh and blood left.

A long picture unfolded above Mo Hao's head. The picture scroll was eerie and depicted the Ghost Gate opening, the Hades General leading the ghost soldiers to go out and slay the rebellious ghosts.

The picture of the Hades’s formation!
A vortex was born in the atlas above his head, sucking in the souls of hundreds of cows. Then Mo Hao threw the flesh and blood condensed into a ball in his hand upwards, and it was also sucked in by the Hades' formation diagram.

The flesh and blood entered the vortex, and a mooing sound could be faintly heard from it, but the sound was extremely light and sounded weak.

"I knew that the things that are farmed don't have much spirituality."

Mo Hao, who had anticipated this, scratched his index finger with his fingernail, and several drops of blood flew into the vortex.

The vortex began to spin rapidly as if it had taken some powerful tonic. Then three figures about two meters and five centimeters tall emerged from it.

He has a human body and a bull's head, holding a long spear, and his breathing exudes a spooky and ghostly aura.

But corresponding to this are muscles full of explosive power, leaving no doubt that this body can mold hard granite into fine and soft powder.

The Ox Head was a ghost soldier created by condensing the souls of hundreds of farmed cattle using the Hades General's Formation Diagram and adding a few drops of Mo Hao's blood.

On average, one bull head requires thirty farmed cows and a drop of Mo Hao's blood to make.

Mo Hao walked up to a bull head and ordered, "Come on, hit me with all your strength."

He swung his fist to stir up a violent gust of wind, and then he threw a powerful punch with all his strength. However, with a clang sound, he was then pushed back several steps by the force.

Retracting the power to protect the body, the maker of the bull head couldn't help but shake his head, "It's only the limit of human strength. As expected, ordinary farmed livestock have no room for improvement."

Using farmed cattle as materials, the cost of a bull head is also 30 farmed cattle, and the strength of the human body is provided by Mo Hao's blood. Just by doing a little calculation in his mind, Mo Hao knew that if he planned to form an army of bull heads, it would be a loss-making business.

Fortunately, Mo Hao had no intention of using these bull-headed men as thugs from the beginning.

There's a better job waiting for them than being a thug.

Mo Hao stood in front of the three bull heads and began to assign tasks.

He pointed to the various building materials piled up on the open space nearby and said, "You are responsible for building the house."

The world of the Heavenly Book has a normal cycle of four seasons, with windy, rainy and snowy weather, and even Mo Hao, as the master of the Heavenly Book, cannot control this natural phenomenon.

Therefore, houses must exist. Not only houses, but when there are more creatures in the world of the Heavenly Book, he will also have to consider high-end configurations such as laboratories and machine tools.

Now, the only priority is to find a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

Mo Hao was very skeptical whether Niu Tou, who looked quite honest, could understand his orders.

After Niu Tou accepted the order, he turned around and walked towards the building materials. He seemed to understand the meaning of Mo Hao's order.

But soon, Mo Hao slapped himself on the forehead, looking a little helpless.

Because when those ox heads built the house, they just picked up the I-beams and stuck them directly into the ground. After the four I-beams formed a rectangle, they found some leaves and thatch to cover the top of their heads. Then they used red bricks to build walls on all four sides, and that was it.

And no cement is used between the red bricks!

Looking at the building that combined modern materials with ancient thinking, Mo Hao didn't know how to evaluate it for a moment.

In his eyes, this thing was like a painting by an abstract imitator of Picasso.

"The house was built at the primitive level, and the foundation has not even been laid yet."

Mo Hao immediately and decisively gave up instructing Niu Tou on how to build, and put the need for the house aside. Anyway, he didn't live in the world of the Heavenly Book.

It won’t be too late to consider this matter when someone who needs a house comes to this place.

"The bull head doesn't look very suitable. It seems we need to change our thinking."

Mo Hao glanced at the panel, ignoring other skills and focusing on one column.

[Yama Ksitigarbha: Locks up the souls, decides life and death, rewards and punishes good and evil, saves all living beings, no one can defeat me. ]

[Branch: The Hades Generals Departure: Condensing souls and spirits into Hades Generals under your command, seducing souls and spirits, capturing ghosts to rectify the laws of life and death.]

Unlike other skills that need to be upgraded, Yama Ksitigarbha does not need to be upgraded. The way to upgrade is to directly purchase it by spending experience.

[Gale and Heavy Rain: Move like a gale, attack like a heavy rain, use attack instead of defense, attack and you will be rescued. Required experience: 8000]

[Aiming at the target from a hundred paces: No armor can be left alive under the fierce bow! Required experience: 7500]

Many general types, as well as Yama, Ksitigarbha and Mingwang sect skills, can be purchased directly with enough experience.

It is not known whether this is due to the peculiarity of Yama Ksitigarbha itself, or because this is the only time that Mo Hao has received a reward from the Taixu Realm that symbolizes the entire skill tree.

After some browsing, Mo Hao quickly found the skills he needed.

[Horse-faced warrior enters the battle formation: The dark spirits will come out, and the ghosts will retreat. Required experience: 10000]
