Online Game: You Call Him A Newbie? - Chapter 514
514 The Work of Earth Emperor Fuxi!
A grand and expansive ancient city emerged before Lin Feng and the others.
This ancient city was truly majestic, with walls reaching hundreds of feet high, constructed from poured molten iron. Its entire structure was pitch black, resembling a wall of steel.
What surprised them even more was the plethora of runes engraved on the city walls, evidently inscribed by skilled artisans. Even during the day, the walls emitted a faint white glow.
The soldiers stationed atop the city walls were all clad in armor, and judging by their auras, even the lowest among them were at the silver level. Their armors were all of silver-grade quality.
Among the soldier captains, some exhibited auras of gold level strength, donning corresponding equipment as they patrolled the walls.
The city itself spanned thousands of square miles, with a population numbering in the tens of millions. It was by no means inferior to the major cities on the Blue Planet.
Lin Feng even noticed that the entire city was enshrouded in a colossal super-array formation, much like the one on the flying ship. Both formations drew upon the ambient energy in the air. From its aura, it likely reached the strength of a star level.
After several flying ships arrived at Danyang City, they didn’t touch down but headed straight for the city.
From his elevated position, Lin Feng gazed at Danyang City.
The city was bustling, with streets over a hundred meters wide and towering buildings reaching hundreds of feet high, akin to skyscrapers. However, the people bustling about were all clad in robes. Otherwise, Lin Feng might have thought he was back on the Blue Planet.
As Lin Feng observed, he noticed that the people in the city had all embarked on the path of cultivating the Great Dao. This manifestation of abilities, as spoken of on the Blue Planet, seemed to be much more prevalent here, with nearly one in a dozen individuals possessing such power. This ratio far surpassed the Blue Planet.
Although most of these individuals were bronze or silver level cultivators, those above the gold level were fewer, and the dark gold level cultivators were even rarer.
In the sky, flashes of light streaked by frequently, indicating that these were powerful individuals traversing through the air.
Some people below couldn’t help but express envy, saying, “If one day I become a silver-level expert, I’ll soar through the city like that!”
As Lin Feng and his companions watched these scenes, their hearts stirred.
“It seems that cultivation is much more widespread in level one worlds compared to the Blue Planet. Of course, this is also related to the fact that people here have an easier time becoming stronger.”
Continuing to observe, Lin Feng discovered that the people were conducting transactions using gold and silver, while larger transactions employed paper currency, which they referred to as ‘banknotes’.
Lin Feng suddenly realized that when he first arrived in this world, the currency from the Blue Planet became obsolete, given the different monetary systems of the two worlds.
Though they had become powerful experts capable of incredible feats, they still had occasions requiring currency. Lin Feng made a mental note to sell some equipment later and convert it into money.
Lin Feng had grown stronger along his journey. Aside from his initial transactions with the Qin family, he hadn’t found time to sell his acquired items. His storage bag was already filled with low-level equipment, making this an opportunity to clear it out, as he had no use for those items anymore.
The flying ship proceeded directly above Danyang City, while the other ships went to their respective destinations. Fang Lan and An Yu expressed their intentions, saying, “Senior, we will return home for now. We’ll visit you during the banquet and express our gratitude for saving us.”
Lin Feng reciprocated their courteous words and then the Nie family’s flying ship flew directly toward the City Lord’s residence.
Upon arriving there, as Lin Feng disembarked the ship, a middle-aged man approached, cupping his hands with a smile, “I am Nie Wanshan, City Lord of Danyang City. I have the pleasure of meeting Young Master Feng.”
Nie Wanshan’s politeness was evident, and Lin Feng noticed the subtle fluctuations in his aura, indicating he was on the cusp of advancing from the peak of the star level to the king level.
The other party tried his best to suppress the fluctuation and suppressed it quite well, but it was still difficult for him to escape the detection of Lin Feng’s powerful mental strength.
However, Lin Feng did not think too much about it. Instead, he smiled and said, “City Lord Nie, you’re too polite. I didn’t expect to encounter the appearance of the secret realm of the Sunset Mountain Range when I went out to travel this time. Therefore, I have to take a look no matter what. I’ll have to disturb City Lord Nie.”
Nie Wanshan was clearly stunned. Then, he glanced at the star level expert who had gone to fetch his son and clearly knew that the other party had spoken too much.
Now that he was stuck at the peak of the star level, he wanted to enter the secret realm when it appeared and make a breakthrough so that he could fight for some initiative.
He did not expect a star-level descendant of the emperor’s lineage to compete with him.
Although this emperor’s descendant was only at the star level, he had a deep foundation. He might have some trump cards. At that time, even if he himself broke through to the king level, it would be somewhat troublesome.
However, at this point, Nie Wanshan did not show anything. Instead, he smiled and said, “Young Master Feng, you’re too polite. How can you say that I’m disturbing you?”
“It should be my Nie family’s honor to have the descendant of the Azure Thearch visit our city.”
Lin Feng noticed Nie Wanshan’s stunned expression just now, especially when he said that the secret realm of the Sunset Mountain Range had appeared.
Although Lin Feng didn’t know Nie Wanshan well, his studies on human behavior, combined with Nie Wanshan’s aura fluctuations, allowed him to glean the city lord’s thoughts.
Lin Feng wasn’t particularly concerned; Nie Wanshan had clearly underestimated the potential of the first emergence of a divine-level secret realm.
Perhaps during that time, even some epic-level (lv800) experts might be drawn in. Even if they advanced to the king level, how much advantage could they truly gain?
Hence, Lin Feng responded politely, aware of the implications but not showing his concern. Just as Nie Wanshan was about to have them escorted to their resting place, Lin Feng asked, “I wonder if the Nie City Lord’s residence possesses a collection of books?”
