The next moment.
The two burst out of the light curtain, appearing in the Mystical Sky City square.
The square was teeming with people, extremely lively.
“Young Master, please leave the transmission array’s range first, as others will come out of the array later,” said the guard of the transmission array respectfully to Jiang Yuan and company.
Jiang Yuan nodded, “Do I need to pay an entrance fee?”
“No need! Already using the transmission array to enter the city is equivalent to paying the entrance fee, after all, every use of the array allows Mystical Sky City to obtain a portion of the spiritual stone resources.”
Jiang Yuan nodded slightly and sighed, “This is different from Upper Que City!”
While talking, Jiang Yuan left the range covered by the transmission array.
The guard chuckled, “We of Mystical Sky City naturally cannot be compared with Upper Que City, Upper Que City has the backing of three Cave Realms. Our Grand Ancestor of Mystical Sky is of solitary cultivation and is very kind to solitary cultivators.”
Having said that, he bowed his hand and said, “I have duties to attend to.”
After speaking, he went towards another transmission array.
…
Wandering on the streets, Shu Xiaoxiao too looked around with curious eyes.
“Young Master, this place is so bustling, and there are many mortals, yet everything seems to be in order, and those mortals do not seem too afraid of the cultivators!”
Jiang Yuan nodded, “This shows that the laws of Mystical Sky City are strict, otherwise mortals are bound to have an inherent fear of cultivators. This Grand Ancestor of Mystical Sky is indeed an unusual one! I wonder about his cultivation level?”
The two, one in front and the other behind, strolled down the street, observing the local customs of Mystical Sky City.
Jiang Yuan was not in a rush, it had merely been six days, and the True Phoenix’s secret realm would only appear in nine days.
The knowledge of the exact days to wait allowed him to slowly appreciate the local customs of Mystical Sky City.
This was also Jiang Yuan’s first time leaving the Qianyuan Kingdom, so he was curious about the world beyond the Qianyuan Kingdom.
From what he knew,
The whole Eastern Region consisted of hundreds of great and small kingdoms mixed together, the smaller ones being smaller than Qianyuan Kingdom, and the larger ones being more than a hundredfold larger than Qianyuan Kingdom, with powerful beings at the Cave Realm stage.
Their inability to expand was due to the distribution of various large and small Sects, aristocratic families, blessed Cave Realms, and Sacred Lands of the human path scattered throughout the Eastern Region.
There were also figures like the Grand Ancestor of Mystical Sky who independently built a domain, living a comfortable and delightful life.
Faced with these scattered powers, the so-called qi movement kingdoms could not and did not have the ability to expand.
Perhaps an ancient noble family could produce a Saint.
Perhaps a Cave Realm could send out several powerful beings at the Cave Realm stage.
For most cultivators, the boost in the speed of cultivation and combat prowess granted by the qi movement kingdom didn’t pique their interest.
Benefiting from the human path qi movement of the kingdom, indeed, would accelerate the enhancement of one’s cultivation foundation and the growth of one’s primordial spirit!
However, in the path of cultivation, cultivation foundation and primordial spirit are just amongst many elements.
The perception of rules, entirely requires personal comprehension.
As for the boost in combat ability provided by the kingdom’s human path qi movement to its citizens, it is negligible for many people.
Stepping out of one’s domain meant losing this boost.
Moreover, the kingdom’s human path qi movement has no effect on one’s lifespan.
Hence, the Eastern Region has such a complex distribution of forces.
There are Immortal Sects, ancient noble families, Cave Realms, Sacred Lands of the human path, and large kingdoms.
Above them all, the Sacred Lands of the human path overlook the world; any Sacred Land would have a Saint in residence.
As for the ancient noble families, some are powerful, some weak.
The strong ones might even surpass some Sacred Lands of the human path.
The weak ones might not even be as powerful as certain Cave Realms.
At this moment, a voice hawking wares interrupted his train of thought.
“Roasted Earth Dragon meat, Roasted Earth Dragon meat, come have a look, take a peek, it’s a delicacy!”
Upon hearing this hawking, Shu Xiaoxiao’s eyes lit up.
Her mouth watering, and saliva flowing.
“Young Master!” She looked pitifully at Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan too reminisced about how long it had been since he last enjoyed fine cuisine. The banquet of wild beasts and seafood he had at Pearl Cave, he hasn’t forgotten.
And so he chuckled, “Let’s go check it out!”
Walking a bare thirty steps, the two came across a corner and saw the so-called Earth Dragon meat.
Jiang Yuan was momentarily speechless, his current perspective was amazingly strong.
At a glance, he completely saw through the so-called Earth Dragon meat.
It was nothing more than a relatively ordinary serpent, how could it pass as an Earth Dragon.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuan was quite disappointed, and Shu Xiaoxiao also couldn’t help but pout.
However, that stall was doing well, even booming.
Five people, all of them bustling with activity.
Jiang Yuan shook his head, “We’ll eat another day!”
“Yes, Young Master!”
Shu Xiaoxiao nodded.
Jiang Yuan looked up to see an inn nearby.
The Heavenly Delight Pavilion.
“Let’s go! Let’s find a place to rest and eat something!”
The two of them then headed towards the Heavenly Delight Pavilion.
The Pavilion was nine storeys high, the first two floors were for dining and drinking while the upper floors were for accommodation.
Jiang Yuan was familiar with this pavilion, it was mentioned in the information from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion earlier. The Heavenly Delight Pavilion was one of the best for food and lodging in Mystical Sky City.
So after seeing the Pavilion, Jiang Yuan didn’t bother looking for other lodgings and decided to go straight up.
As soon as the two of them entered the Heavenly Delight Pavilion, a page at the door immediately came up to greet them.
“Young Master, are you here to dine or to lodge?”
“Both to dine and lodge!”
“This way please, Young Master!”
The page was delighted and quickly bowed to Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan immediately took out a low-grade spiritual stone and tossed it to him. The page was even happier.
Working in the Heavenly Delight Pavilion, he was no ordinary mortal, but he was also just an ordinary warrior.
A spiritual stone was like a fortune to him.
In the Mystical Sky City, with the presence of the Grand Ancestor of Mystical Sky, there were no worries about being robbed.
The page immediately lead Jiang Yuan enthusiastically to the front desk.
The front desk of the Heavenly Delight Pavilion was manned by a ravishing woman, her dress had a high slit, revealing a deep cleavage when she bowed her head.
Seeing Jiang Yuan, she wore a beaming smile, “Young Master, would you like a suite with the prefix ‘heaven’, ‘earth’, or ‘human’?”
“Heaven!” Jiang Yuan responded casually.
“Very generous, ten medium-grade spiritual stones per day.”
“That expensive?” Jiang Yuan furrowed his brows.
“It’s a special period, prices everywhere are this high, our shop has the smallest increase, only tenfold.”
“Xiaoxiao, pay for ten days of lodging in advance!”
“Yes, Young Master!” Shu Xiaoxiao nodded, took out a high-grade spiritual stone and placed it on the counter.
The beautiful woman was overjoyed, and after verifying it was indeed a high-grade spiritual stone,
She gave Jiang Yuan a jade token.
“This is your key to the ‘heaven’ suite number nine, located on the ninth floor!”
Jiang Yuan took the token and headed to the second floor along with Shu Xiaoxiao.
The page led the way cheerfully.
“Young Master, it’s so expensive!”
Jiang Yuan smiled, “Since we are out here, we shouldn’t stint on ourselves, it’s just equal to ten thousand low-grade spiritual stones.”
Upon hearing their conversation, the page leading the way couldn’t help but marvel at the pair’s wealth.
