Chapter 237 - 237.Those that hope a new future in Save Heaven City

While on one side the village was filled with songs, lessons, play and lots of laughter, far away one sect was in a complete worry. Taskmaster gave them a very hard task. To make a ten level tower. But no matter what they did nothing could be done. Already one year passed since they came but they couldn't finish the task.

One day one of those passing merchants passed and the head of the village asked him to help them.

After thinking for a long time he sighed. ''Taskmaster never said you have to do it here. He just said to finish it. Right? Did you hear about Save Heaven City?''

They all started talking at the same time as they heard about that while ago. The head of the village rose his hands. ''Quiet!'' then he turned to the merchant and smiled at him. ''Please, tell me what does that city has with our task?''

''You have no idea how grand that city is. We still are all trying to figure out how they build such a huge city in such a small amount of time. And not only that. There is a child that knows formations. The city is given the name Save Heaven City for many reasons. '' He thought about it when he spoke further.

''The city was built from stones. In the past, I saw commoners building a house from stones and it took them a very long time. they build a city under 3 months. From huge stones! If someone can help you build the tower it is them. They can't help you do it, but at least they can give you advice. Why not move a bit nearer and ask them to help you. Ask the child to set the formation as well. Maybe that is what you need to make it easier to handle. What do you think?'' The merchant walked back to his carriage and turned one more time. ''Go to Save Heaven City. And if you have pregnant women send them there. They are provided with the best care there. Food and clothes as well. But only women. Men have to work if they want to stay in town. Trust me. It's worth it.''

With slow-motion, the carriage disappeared out their sight and suddenly the whole bunch of comments fell over his head like rain making him have a headache. ''Stop talking! Now!''

But who can hear him? He was a no more powerful cultivator who could make his voice loud and clear. Somehow he felt tiered and with heavy steps, he turned around and went back to his house. 

As he passed the door a soft voice waited for him. ''Husband? Is it you?''

An earnest smile appeared on his tiered face as he entered the room. The warmth inside didn't come only from the open fire then as well from the shine of woman's face. Her appearance could be said as one of less beautiful people, but not ugly. She had short struggle hair, olive skin and strange yellow eyes. But her smile was something he loved to see.

A small protruding stomach showed that she was pregnant already for a few months and he was getting seriously worried. The food was never enough, the tower is not done and everyone didn't work together than backstabbed each other anytime they could. 

With time their members divided as many lefts to live alone, forgetting their original task. He thought about a hundred people that stubbornly kept trying to make it while rest of them just stood there, pointed their fingers and laughed at them.

Asudden idea crossed his mind. ''My love, I just heard small information. Remember the city our neighbors were talking about?''

She smiled while trying to stand up. He rushed to help her and earned a grateful smile from her. ''You mean ''Save Heaven City''?

He nodded while helping her to sit down by a simple table. He looked around the room and sighed. When they go outside he will make her life the most comfortable possible. He was quite wealthy there but here he was just another commoner without anything. ''We need to survive next four years and if possible we have to build that tower.''

''I know, but what does that have to do with the Save Heaven City?'' She slightly crooked her head in curiosity.

He took her hands and looked at them. From beautiful soft hands, they turned rough and splintered only in one year. ''They said the City was built by Grounding Fairy Sect and they have it now open for all pregnant women. They are doing it for free and everyone is supportive of that. Not only that. In less than a year, they build the city that is hundreds of times bigger than the tower.''

In her eyes the understanding of his words made her complete;y curious. ''Wait, you want to go there?''

''I want us all that want to build a tower to go there. I will give them all the options. Go with us or stay here. The travel will be long, but at least we will have some hope. I am sorry, but would you come or should we stay here and try again?'' His eyes went towards the fire as his mind was in deep thought.

She grabbed his face and turned to her and smiled brightly. ''Wherever is my sweet hubby going, I am coming with. We don't have to run, don't we? And we have carriages. You men can exchange in pulling the carriages. We can take some food with us and some we can gather on our way. It is mid of summer and there will be probably more vegetables underway. You all can hunt and after all, a new start doesn't mean it is something bad. ''

He hugged and planted a small kiss on top of her head while they watched the fire burning.

The next day he went from house to house and asked everyone about their decisions. Actually others helped him spread the word as well. Whoever wants to join him for a trip to Save Heaven City, should appear next morning on man road going out of the city.

He was clear, not many will accept that. The place their village was made, was filled with all they need to survive. A large forest filled with all kinds of vegetables, fruits and animal sorts. Not only that nearby river and lake gave them all the fish they wanted to eat.

Their lives were hard but still not too hard. But the task couldn't be forgotten. Unfortunately, the earth there was not meant to be taken for clay bricks, no clay... No stones. But the worst thing the winds. If they made ten storage tall towers from woods they were not sure would it be even stable? 

they came to the fifth floor and strong winds would destroy it again and again and again. So many of their clan's people just gave up helping. But few stayed and tried again stubbornly.

The next morning came and few boxes with food and pots with water, a small package of their clothes were packed on the small carriage on two wheels and he planted his wife on top of it. What he didn't expect is to see almost all of those that want to try to make the tower.

He waited until the light came and as he saw that no one came anymore he started a new journey, to new hope and new home...
