Chapter 1055 - Jinyuan Island
Chapter 1055: Jinyuan Island
The Ziya Territorial Waters were a large area of territorial waters. They consisted of many smaller territorial waters such as the Moji Territorial Waters. Of course, the Moji Territorial Waters were still large enough that they measured hundreds of millions of miles.
The three members of the Sorcerer Clan lived in the Hangzhao Territorial Waters at the edge of the Moji Territorial Waters. There were more than thirty million islands in these territorial waters and at least half of these islands had members of the Sorcerer Clan living on them. The remaining islands were either deserted because they were unsuitable for living and cultivating or were the private domains of powerful individuals.
Of course, among the Sorcerer Clan, not every member could cultivate. Similar to the Source World, ordinary folk made up most of their numbers. The ordinary people of the Sorcerer Clan would at least have some survival abilities. In the main space, they would at least be at the level of Regulated Breathing Realm ancient martial art practitioners. It was because they were born with more powerful bodies.
The islands were scattered around in various corners of the Hangzhao Territorial Waters. There were high ranking islands and low ranking islands. Low ranking islands were usually inhabited by ordinary people and their culture for cultivation was not strong. As for the high ranking islands, their level of civilization was higher. On very developed islands, immortal cultivators could be seen everywhere.
Although the three members of the Sorcerer Clan had bizarre appearances that were completely different, all of them came from the same tribe. The original form of the members of the Sorcerer Clan was no longer inherited by bloodlines. It was instead the result of various aspects combined. Many members of the Sorcerer Clan were born in strange shapes and sizes. However, after they cultivated sorcery, their bodies would once again undergo changes. It was also possible for them to return to human form.
There were also members of the Sorcerer Clan who were born looking like humans but would develop bizarre appearances after cultivating sorcery.
However, 80% of the ordinary people of the Sorcerer Clan appeared human. Even if they went through changes, their changes were not drastic. Some immortal cultivators of the Sorcerer Clan would appear as humans under normal conditions. Their bodies would only change when they activated their sorcery.
Similarly, there was a certain type of member of the Sorcerer Clan whose appearance was human at all times. Be it throughout daily life or when unleashing sorcery, they were no different from humans. There were many of this type of member of the Sorcerer Clan in the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield.
Hence, with Mo Wen’s human appearance, the three members of the Sorcerer Clan did not doubt for a moment that he was one of them. It was because such members of the Sorcerer Clan could be encountered everywhere in the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield.
“Senior, right now, we have already left the Moji Territorial Waters. Where are you heading to?” a member of the Sorcerer Clan asked cautiously.
Even though Mo Wen had saved them once, the three members of the Sorcerer Clan didn’t want to stay with him for too long. It was because high ranking cultivators like Mo Wen, who they knew nothing about, were a big threat to them.
“Yingyun City. Do you know the fastest way there?” Mo Wen said after pondering for a moment. Initially, he thought that the fastest way to get there was by flying in a straight line. However, he now knew that this method was not suitable. If Mo Wen accidentally ventured into savage lands like the Moji Territorial Waters again, he might die even before he could start his mission.
“Yingyun City?”
The three members of the Sorcerer Clan went silent, seemingly thinking hard about where Yingyun City was.
“Senior, are you talking about Yingyun City in the Ruyun Territorial Waters?” The member of the Sorcerer Clan who was half human and half snake asked as he suddenly recalled something.
“Yes, that Yingyun City.” Mo Wen nodded. Based on the label on the map, Yingyun City was indeed in the Ruyun Territorial Waters.
“Senior, we are very far away from the Ruyun Territorial Waters now. We are at least hundreds of millions of miles away from it. It will take a long time for you to fly there, but you can teleport to the Ruyun Territorial Waters straight away by using the teleporting stratagem on Jinyuan Island,” one of the Sorcerer Clan members replied after considering all options.
“Teleporting stratagem? Do you have teleporting stratagems?” Mo Wen was stunned.
“Of course we do. Even though our Hangzhao Territorial Waters are just small territorial waters, we also have a Sorcerer God Temple. Moreover, Jinyuan Island is the top spiritual island in the Hangzhao Territorial Waters. Not only is there a Sorcerer God Temple in Jinyuan City, but the island itself also has a teleporting stratagem. Since the teleporting stratagem in Jinyuan City does not have as wide of a teleportation stratagem network like that in the Sorcerer God Temple, we might not have a direct teleporting route to the Ruyun Territorial Waters.”
One of the members of the Sorcerer Clan mistook Mo Wen’s surprised expression as him belittling their Hangzhao Territorial Waters. Surely there were teleporting stratagems and Sorcerer God Temples in large areas like the Hangzhao Territorial Waters. On top of that, there were beings with great attainment at the Supreme Profundity Realm in their Hangzhao Territorial Waters. Beings at that level were capable of setting up a teleportation stratagem network on their own.
“In that case, please lead me to Jinyuan Island,” Mo Wen requested with a smile, but he was grumbling internally. So, it turned out that there were teleporting stratagems connecting all the territorial waters in the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield. He knew nothing about it and ended up flying across the waters like a madman for more than ten days.
The Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield was a pure Immortal Cultivation world. Mo Wen had always been in the main space and did not even come in much contact with the Peng Lai Immortal Realm. His worldview was similar to that of ordinary people in the main space. After coming to an Immortal Cultivation world like the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield, he would certainly not have considered this.
Mo Wen sighed internally. If he knew that there were teleporting stratagems between the various territorial waters, right now, he would most likely already be in Yingyun City. Looking back, it could be seen that the old woman from the Sorcerer Clan directly dropped him at the territorial waters closest to Yingyun City. It was just that he had foolishly flown across the ocean.
“Yingyun City, hang in there! The cavalry is coming,” Mo Wen thought. Initially, he believed that he would still have ample time. After all, it was impossible for the Sorcerer Clan to give him a task that could not be accomplished in time; they would certainly have given him time to work things out. However, Mo Wen now realized that by flying around blindly, he had already wasted a lot of his time. No matter how fast he flew, could he be faster than a teleporting stratagem?
“Senior, we will take you to Jinyuan Island now,” the three members of the Sorcerer Clan immediately said as they saw that Mo Wen seemed to be anxious.
“All of you just need to point me in the right direction. I will carry you as we fly over there.”
Mo Wen, who was anxious, did not care anymore. With a flash of blue light, the illusionary spirit divine wings immediately appeared on his back. They sparkled beautifully with blue starlight. It was as though he had become one with the ocean.
The three members of the Sorcerer Clan stared wide-eyed at the illusionary spirit divine wings. They had never seen such beautiful wings. The wings appeared dreamlike as though they belonged in an immortal realm. Many members of the Sorcerer Clan cultivated wings, but it was the first time in their lives that they saw such beautiful wings.
Of course, they did not know that the illusionary spirit divine wings were just spiritual treasures and not real wings. Mo Wen would not explain this to them either. A beam of blue light enveloped the figures of the three members of the Sorcerer Clan. The next moment, they immediately disappeared from their original spot.
“Such terrifying speed. Good heavens, even space seems to be distorted.” Initially, the three members of the Sorcerer Clan did not feel anything. However, when they looked around at the scenery, they were stunned. With their eyesight, they actually could not see the surrounding scenery clearly. Even when they released their deified souls, their souls would immediately be dissipated in the winds. They could not sense things in their surroundings at all.
“This is at the minimum a release technique of the Supreme Profundity Realm. Could it be that this senior is a being at the Supreme Profundity Realm?”
The three members of the Sorcerer Clan were astonished. Even in the Hangzhao Territorial Waters, Supreme Profundity Realm cultivators were the pinnacle of beings. The strongest practitioner in the Hangzhao Territorial Waters, the Jinyuan Island’s Island Lord, was a cultivator with great attainment at the Supreme Profundity Realm.
Mo Wen made haste with all his might. After less than two hours, they reached Jinyuan Island.
Jinyuan Island was a large island. It could even be considered a landmass in the middle of the ocean. On the island was the huge Jinyuan City, the number one city in the Hangzhao Territorial Waters.
As a city of immortal cultivators, Jinyuan City was naturally very prosperous. Spiritual lights sparkled all around and immortal cultivators could be seen everywhere. 10 000 miles away, Mo Wen and the rest could already see groups of people heading towards Jinyuan Island.
“Such a majestic city,” Mo Wen exclaimed as he looked at the huge city while he was still far away from Jinyuan Island.
The size of Jinyuan City seemed to be comparable to the whole of Hua Xia Country. Every facility in the city was the work of immortal cultivators. The city walls were hundreds of thousands of feet tall. Mountain peaks floated high in the sky and rotated naturally. There were huge buildings that kept changing their positions. Beyond the island, there were many battleships and warships. The ships were products of the Immortal Cultivation world. They could fly in the sky and dive into the sea at high speeds.
The three members of the Sorcerer Clan glanced at each other and gave Mo Wen strange gazes. Why did it feel as though this senior was a hilly-billy that just came out from a mountain? It was simply a mere Jinyuan City and he looked like a fish out of water. If he saw the sacred city of the Ziya Territorial Waters, what would the look on his face be like?
How could a dignified Supreme Profundity Realm senior be so ignorant? The three members of the Sorcerer Clan were puzzled by it. Even insignificant Primordial Soul Realm cultivators like them had frequently visited Jinyuan City for business purposes. Jinyuan City could be considered the top city in the Hangzhao Territorial Waters. However, when one took into account all the cities in the entire Ziya Territorial Waters, Jinyuan City was but a small town.
“Senior, there is a Sorcerer God Temple in Jinyuan City. You only have to pay some spiritual stones in order to teleport to Ruyun Territorial Waters,” the half-snake Sorcerer Clan member said respectfully. In his opinion, although this senior in front of them was rather ignorant, he was still a high-ranking cultivator. Mo Wen could kill them off with a wave of his hand. They were nobody in front of him; naturally, they didn’t dare to act rudely.
“How many spiritual stones are required to teleport once?” Mo Wen asked. Spiritual stones could be found in all realms, so they were also used as a common currency. In terms of aiding cultivation, spiritual stones were not as effective as vital stones. However, vital stones were rare and were usually sought after to aid one’s cultivation; nobody would be so generous to use vital stones for trading. Besides that, spiritual stones had many functions. Spiritual stones were needed to replenish energy in many stratagems and tools.
“The spiritual stones required for each trip are calculated based on the distance between the two points. Senior, don’t worry, we will pay for your trip. You have saved our lives. Please don’t decline our offer,” another Sorcerer Clan member added on immediately. He was afraid that this weird senior might not even have spiritual stones with him.
Using the teleporting stratagem was a luxurious experience. It used up many spiritual stones. Usually, they would prioritize flying on their own; if it was not a possible option, they would opt for transportation like skyships. They would not use teleporting stratagems unless it was really necessary.
Thankfully, this senior only wanted to get to the Ruyun Territorial Waters. It was not very far away, so they could still afford the fee.
“If that’s the case, many thanks.”
Mo Wen nodded in satisfaction. He indeed did not have many spiritual stones left with him. Although he had earned a huge amount of spiritual stones in Dragon City, they were used to develop the Ming Palace. It was impossible for him to produce so many resources from thin air; he had to purchase them. On top of that, he had manufactured two spiritual treasures for Su Wan’er. He had also purchased the materials required and sent them to Nie Junxue. With her helping him to manufacture spiritual treasures, he naturally could not be stingy to the point of not providing the materials required.
In the last 10 years, he had almost finished spending his few million spiritual stones.
