Chapter 42: Star City
Li Youran's guess was right, and a crisis that could have come was resolved in this way.
Out of caution, he still flew to the northeast day and night, and his goal was very clear that he was to go to Celestial Star City, whether it was the safe environment there, or the teleportation array that could kill demons and take pills.
Sitting on the Shenmu boat, Li Youran took out the jade slips that had been prepared a long time ago and read them carefully, I don't know how long later, he let out a sigh of relief, threw the jade slips in his hand into the storage bag, pondered, after a careful look, Li Youran really had a general understanding of the situation of the entire Chaotic Star Sea, the Chaotic Star Sea is very large! But no one knows how big it is, and no one is stupid enough to measure it.
The sea map so far is only a small part of the real sea area of the Chaotic Star Sea, which is recognized by all the Chaotic Star Sea monks. The sea areas that have been discovered are usually called the "Inner Star Sea", and the outer sea areas that have not yet been discovered are the "Outer Star Sea". And the "chaotic star sea" in the general population actually refers to the "inner star sea".
The "Alien Sea" has an even more terrifying name, the "Demon Sea". Because there are many incredibly powerful demon beasts surviving there, it is said that the monks who are invincible to the Yuan Infant Stage are not left behind, which makes many low-level monks who have never been to the Alien Sea really stick out their tongues for a long time.
The classics also say that in ancient times, both the "Inner Star Sea" and the "Outer Star Sea" were the world of monsters in the sea, and the monks could only be trapped on a few lonely islands.
Later, after a long period of time, many ancestors of the Chaotic Star Sea eradicated the powerful demon beasts one by one and opened up the current Inner Star Sea. Now, the entire Chaotic Star Sea is ruled by a huge force called the "Star Palace".
This force has existed for so long that even the texts do not give an exact time. The reason for its establishment is even more varied, some say that it was formed by the ancestors who eradicated the demon beasts at the beginning, and some say that it was established by a certain giant in the past after unifying the original chaotic star sea, and so on.
Today's Celestial Star Palace has built a giant island in the middle of the Inner Star Sea into a super city "Celestial Star City", in which there are two city lords known as the "Celestial Star Twin Saints", who rule the entire "Star Palace" organization.
These two city lords are mysterious and abnormal, they never leave Celestial Star City, let alone appear in public, so no one has ever seen their true faces. However, the monks of the Chaotic Star Sea are all rumored that these two holy masters are either monks in the late Yuan Infant period, or the celestials of the legendary God Transformation Realm. After all, the name of the Celestial Star Twin Saints has been circulating for nearly a thousand years. How can an ordinary monk have such a long lifespan?
In addition to the "Star City", the "Star Palace" also took the three largest islands in each of the eight areas around the inner star sea and the four areas in the central part of the country, and set up sub-islands directly under the central government.
It is known as the outer twenty-four star islands and the inner twelve star islands, and the "Star City" has become an arch trend. And the Kuixing Island where Li Youran stayed is an outer island under the jurisdiction of this "Star Palace".
In this way, these star islands, plus the many small islands attached to these star islands, it is not an exaggeration to say that the "Star Palace" is the official force of the chaotic star sea. What's even more amazing is that this "Star Palace" actually proceeded in two ways to appoint these Star Island Lords.
The Inner Twelve Star Islands were appointed by the two Holy Lords who chose six people from each of the organizations. The outer twenty-four star islands are openly challenged and selected in the "Star City" every hundred years, and the final winner automatically becomes the owner of the island and enjoys the treatment of a powerful party.
As a result, the meeting held every 100 years in the "Star City" to select the lord of the outer islands was called the "Star Picking Conference" by many monks who wanted to leap over the Dragon Gate. Every time the conference is about to be held, almost all the high-ranking monks of the chaotic star sea will gather here.
Some of these monks came straight to the position of the island master, some just wanted to open their eyes and communicate with other fellow practitioners, and some wanted to take this opportunity to exchange materials and pills and even exercises and the like, which was called a gathering of wind and clouds, and it almost made Tianxing City overcrowded at that time. But even if it is not the day of the Star Picking Meeting, Star City is also lively and prosperous, with a mixture of dragons and snakes.
Because this city is extremely free, monks of all levels are completely allowed to enter and exit at will, except for those who are not allowed to fight in the city and stay for a long time have to pay a certain amount of spirit stones every month, the people of the "Star Palace" will not interfere in anything in this city. It is the demon cultivator wanted by the "Star Palace" itself, as long as there is no trouble in this city, the people of the "Star Palace" will not take the initiative to arrest it.
Those big merchants were so satisfied with this free environment that they set up perennial storefronts in the city, and also formed their own auction and purchase houses and other businesses that could earn a lot of spirit stones.
In this way, there are countless kinds of rare things that flow from all over the Chaotic Star Sea to Heavenly Star City every year! In addition, there is another place in Celestial Star City that attracts many monks. In the city, the Heavenly Star Palace actually had a teleportation array that led directly to the Alien Sea.
As long as someone is willing to hand over a large amount of spirit stones, they can be teleported to dozens of "demon beast islands" of different sizes in the alien sea through the teleportation array, and these islands are all isolated islands with spiritual energy opened up by the predecessors. After arriving at these islands, the monks can kill all kinds of demon beasts in the nearby sea, seize the demon pill, and then take it back to Tianxing City to exchange for spirit stones.
With the value of the demon pill, almost a fifth-level demon pill can be sold for nearly a thousand spirit stones, and the sixth-level demon pill can almost make a monk who has built a foundation cultivate for a worry-free life from now on. Therefore, most of the monks who come to Heavenly Star City every year come for these teleportation arrays.
After all, flying to the open sea by yourself without taking the teleportation array will not only take too long to go back and forth, but it is also extremely dangerous to bump around like a headless fly in the open sea.
Of course, in addition to the super force of "Star Palace", there are other large and small forces in the Chaotic Star Sea, such as "Night Dragon Island", "Four Great Business Alliances", "Succubus Sect", "Three Immortal Gates", etc., of course, "Extreme Yin Island" and "Liulian Palace" are also two large forces.
After sorting out the information he obtained, he took out the sea map of the Chaotic Star Sea from his body, looked at it carefully for a while, and then changed the direction of the Shenmu Boat, turned it into white light, and broke through the sky.
A few months later, a white light streaked through the sky on a certain sea area, and standing on it was Li Youran, who was tired because of the long hours he had been traveling day after day.
Speaking of which, such a long journey is really a rare experience for Li Youran. Because he didn't want to waste all these hours of traveling, Li Youran was flying with the imperial weapon while relying on the powerful divine sense to cultivate the Great Decision.
Looking at the vague in front of him, there seemed to be a huge black dot, Li Youran urged the magic weapon under his feet without thinking, and the speed increased in vain, and he galloped away.
After a while, the black dot slowly grew larger from far to near, and gradually revealed a large black shadow that was extremely vague. Although it is not yet clear, the huge outline like Optimus Prime has already made Li Youran feel a majestic and amazing momentum.
When Li Youran flew closer in surprise, he finally saw the black shadow clearly. It is indeed a city, and it is a super city that occupies the entire island, and the main body of this city is completely different from the previous cities, in that it is not built on flat ground, but is built on the surface of a huge mountain in the center of the island, and is built in circles on its surface. At the base of the mountain, there are various buildings layer after layer, which stretch to the edge of the island, and there are hardly any gaps.
There is no doubt that this must be the largest city in the Chaotic Star Sea, "Tianxing City".
Looking at the dense houses that stretched into the sky and were as small as ants, Li Youran, who had seen countless high-rise buildings, was also surprised for a long time.
It wasn't until the Shenmu Boat approached the island for dozens of miles that he came back to his senses and couldn't help but slow down the magic weapon under his feet. Because in the nearby air, Li Youran was no longer flying alone in the imperial weapon, and a few rays of light began to appear from time to time near or far, and the direction was towards Tianxing City.
A moment later, Li leisurely arrived at the edge of Heavenly Star City.
At this time, I realized that the city in front of me was surrounded by a towering stone wall dozens of feet high along the coast. And under the endless high wall, only Li Youran could see more than a dozen portals of all kinds, large and small.
There are not only docks for mortal ships to dock, but also bays for all kinds of demon beasts to inhabit, of course, the most is the small city gate that monks can pass through alone, and Li Youran flew to one of the short city gates with a blue light. Say it's short! But when Li leisurely flew over and fell, he looked at the giant gate that was seven or eight feet high, and couldn't help but laugh at himself a few times with the corners of his mouth moving slightly.
In front of Li Youran is a dignified-looking woman in Tsing Yi, who looks like Xiuwei is in the middle stage of foundation building.
She said a few words to the two white-clothed monks standing under the city gate, then handed out a few spirit stones, took a blue ring from the other party's hand, took it with her hand casually, and then walked in lightly.
Li Youran walked over unhurriedly.
"Daoist friends are temporarily staying, and they are still living in the city for a long time, if they are monks who are temporarily staying in the city, they only need to pay three spirit stones. Those who live permanently need to pay 800 spirit stones to stay in the city for a long time. A whitefriar, barely blinking, uttered the words he had spoken as many times as he could not count.
"I also plan to live in the city for a long time, this is eight hundred spirit stones." Li leisurely took out a storage bag from his arms and threw it over.
"Welcome this Taoist friend to Tianxing City, the aura of this ring is permanent, after dripping into the essence blood, you can recognize the Lord and shine, don't be afraid of being robbed by others, this is the identity ring is collected!" After inspecting the storage bag, the white-clothed monk took out a red ring from his bosom and handed it over, saying with a blank face.
Li Youran took the ring, dripped essence blood on it, then put it on his hand, and then walked into the city gate.
The street behind the city gate is not too small or too wide, and it is basically more than enough for four people to walk side by side or two beast carts. And the rows of bluestone houses on the side of the street look like mortal shops, and the things bought and sold are mostly mortal goods, and there is nothing to see. There were almost no monks on the streets, only some ordinary people were shopping or talking about something, and there was no strange or curious look at his monks.
Li Youran looked around slightly, looked up at the sky, and found that there were many rays of light flying around in the sky, and there were many monks flying in the sky.
