Chapter 373
After they travelled in the ship for more than a month, they arrived at a huge city.
“What a magnificent city wall!” When Xiao Jinting saw a city wall carved with thousands of demonic beasts, he was shocked. They were imposing and intimidating.
Chen Lifeng chuckled at Xiao Jinting’s shocked face. “Are you awed by Sky City?”
Xiao Jinting smiled awkwardly, “Yes, Mr. Chen, Sky City is indeed extraordinary.”
“Of course, I was amazed the first time I came here.”
“Mr. Chen, the demonic beasts carved on the wall look so real.” Xiao Jinting couldn’t help but say.
Immortal Flying Hawk glanced at the wall and said with a complicated feeling, “The demonic beasts on the wall are not simple.”
Chen Lifeng looked into the distance with his hands behind his back and said, “Actually, Sky City is a huge magic weapon.”
Xiao Jinting widened his eyes and asked, “It is a magic weapon?”
Chen Lifeng nodded and said, “Yes, Sky City is an ancient magic weapon. It is said that Sky City was refined by a Heaven Secrets Tribe which was excellent in refining weapons. It took the whole tribe three years and countless precious materials to refine this city.”
Xiao Jinting widened his eyes. “Is it real? Is there anyone who can collect the city?”
“It is said that when Sky City came into existence, the patriarch of Heaven Secrets Tribe was able to control it at his will. The tribe was invincible with the help of the city. However, as time went on, Sky City got some problems and was rooted here. And Heaven Secrets Tribe disappeared.”
“There was something wrong with this magic weapon, and it was split into several pieces, which were divided up among the major forces. However, each piece has strong power. There were some masters who tried to collect Sky City, but none of them succeeded.”
“Oh, I see.” Xiao Jinting nodded his acknowledgement.
Chen Lifeng nodded and pointed at the wall. “Look at the wall, which is engraved with a pattern of ten thousand beasts. Back then, more than twenty Nascent Souls drove millions of demonic beasts to attack the city, and the people in the city activated the demonic beasts on the wall. The millions of demonic beasts suffered heavy casualties, and several Nascent Souls died, the rest running away.”
Listening to the secret story, Xiao Jinting couldn’t help getting excited.
In the Green Cloud Immortal Sect, a Nascent Soul was the best and well respected by thousands of cultivators. However, a Nascent Soul was nothing in a much bigger world where there were so many masters.
Xiao Jinting stood in front of Sky City, suddenly feeling that he was insignificant.
…
Suddenly, Xiao Jinting heard a tinkle of bells and he felt that the temperature had dropped by two degrees.
A snow-white ice bird dragged a crystal clear ice carriage and swiftly went past him.
Through the blue gauze curtain, Xiao Jinting vaguely saw a woman in a snow-white palace dress. She had an icy air, which was weird.
“Mr. Chen, who is that?” Xiao Jinting asked curiously.
“That’s the Ice Fairy of Ice Palace. Ice Palace is located in the vast sheet of ice in the far north of the world. There are more women than men in Ice Palace, and female cultivators outnumber the male ones. The Ice Fairy is the great-great-granddaughter of a Deity Transformation Elder of Ice Palace. She is awesome!” Chen Lifeng said.
“She’s awesome, but it’s a pity…” Immortal Flying Hawk shook his head and said ruefully.
“What’s wrong?” Kong Que asked in confusion.
“The Ice Fairy is single spiritual root of ice, and she was born with the physique of ice.”
“The physique of ice?” asked Xiao Jinting.
Immortal Flying Hawk nodded and said, “There are advantages and disadvantages with this kind of physique. The advantage is that every time the physique of ice explodes, the cultivator will make rapid progress in cultivation, while the disadvantage is that when it explodes, the cultivator will suffer a freezing coldness. The higher the cultivation level, the more agonizing it is to the cultivator. The Ice Fairy is a Nascent Soul.”
“If she can solve the drawbacks of this physique, Ice Palace will have another Deity Transformation cultivator. If she can’t solve it, she would be frozen to death after a few more explosions. It’s said that the Elder of the Ice Palace is worried about her.”
Xiao Jinting was excited by the story. The world was big, and there were hidden dragons and crouching tigers everywhere.
Chen Lifeng shook his head. “Come on, this isn’t our business. Let’s enter the city. We can only walk as we can’t fly in the city.”
Xiao Jinting nodded and said inwardly, “Sky City has so many rules.”
…
Xiao Jinting followed Chen Lifeng to the city gate, where Chen Lifeng handed the invitation letter to a guard.
The guard gave Chen Lifeng a gold token and Xiao Jinting a silver one.
Xiao Jinting was surprised to find that the guard was a Nascent Soul.
Before Xiao Jinting came, he heard that there would be countless masters during the period of the Nascent Soul Conference in Sky City. There would be Nascent Souls everywhere, and Golden Cores were nothing there. Now he started to realize it was true. It was luxurious of Sky City to employ a Nascent Soul to be the guard at the gate.
Xiao Jinting followed Chen Lifeng to a shop, where Chen Lifeng spent a thousand top-grade spiritual stones and rented a transmission box. Immortal Flying Hawk did the same.
“Mr. Chen, is this a transmission box?”
“Yes, but this is not an ordinary one.” Chen Lifeng pointed at the screen on the side and said, “Do you see the screen there?”
Xiao Jinting looked at the screen, where various treasures were displayed. Xiao Jinting was shocked to find that there were materials for refining top magic weapons, pills that helps Nascent Souls cultivate, natural materials to improve aptitude, and top refined magic weapons.
His eyes lit up at the screen full of treasures.
