Chapter 50 - 50 One Word, Destitute!
50 One Word, Destitute!
“By the way, what’s your name, brother?”
“Dongfang.”
Lin Wudao made up a random surname. In the City of Heavens, there were people from all walks of life, he naturally could not reveal his real name.
Who the hell knew what kind of people here were?
If he accidentally exposed his identity, he might attract a great disaster.
Therefore, he had to be careful.
“Oh, so it’s Brother Dongfang.”
Mu Jiutian didn’t ask for Lin Wudao’s name. Anyone who came to the City of Heavens was an important figure. Anything that could be known by others was basically fake.
In this place, no one would reveal their true information or identity.
“Brother Dongfang, you’re new here. Do let me introduce you to the rules of the City of Heavens so that you don’t break them.”
“Alright,” Lin Wudao nodded.
He listened to Mu Jiutian’s introduction as they walked along the ancient streets of the City of Heavens.
“There are many rules in the City of Heavens, but there are a few iron laws that no one can go against. If violated, the lightest punishment is eternal expulsion from the City of Heavens, and the heaviest punishment is immediate execution.”
“First of all, no fighting or killing is allowed in the City of Heavens. Second: on-site transactions only, no credit. Third, those with ordinary white jade talismans can only stay in the City of Heavens for a day at most, with the exception of guides. Fourth: no private transactions. Fifth, do not reveal the existence of the City of Heavens to anyone. Sixth: do not go to unauthorized places.”
…
Mu Jiutian continued to introduce the place.
He spoke seriously, and Lin Wudao listened seriously.
After his brief introduction, Lin Wudao had a general understanding of the rules of the City of Heavens.
In short, this was a place for all the living beings in the universe to trade.
Other than trading, everything else was not allowed here.
“By the way, did you just say that the City of Heavens has a Second Heaven?”
“Yes. The City of Heavens has an extremely strict hierarchy. If one’s level and identity aren’t high enough, one is not allowed to set foot in other places. The lowest requirement to enter the First Heaven is the Heavenly Emperor level. If one wants to go to the Second Heaven of the City of Heavens, one must have the cultivation and strength of a True Celestial and above. One must at least be a Celestial King to enter the Third Heaven. As for the Fourth Heaven, one has to be a supreme Immortal Emperor.”
…
What? The powerful Heavenly Emperors could only stay in the First Heaven?
Lin Wudao’s heart skipped a beat when he heard this.
“The great demon of Mountain Tu has the golden talisman of the City of Heavens. It seems that his status and power are far more terrifying than I had imagined,” He thought to himself.
He could only obtain the most basic information from the stone statue. Apart from the name “the great demon of Mountain Tu”, he did not gain any other information.
Through Mu Jiutian’s description, Lin Wudao realized that the great demon of Mountain Tu was a supreme existence.
As for how powerful the other party exactly was, he had no idea.
“By the way, Brother Dongfang, the City of Heavens is filled with all kinds of people. Do you want to get a set of equipment that can conceal your identity and aura?” Mu Jiutian suddenly turned around and said.
Whoosh.
Just as Lin Wudao was feeling puzzled, a black cloak and a devil mask appeared in Mu Jiutian’s hands.
“You can buy all of these in the City of Heavens. Their names are the Heaven Evasion Cloak and the Mask of Heavens. As long as you wear them, no matter who it is, no matter what cultivation they have, they will not be able to see through your identity and origin. I’ll sell it to you at a cheap price since we’re brothers. Only one billion supreme-grade divine stones…”
Mu Jiutian looked at Lin Wudao with a burning gaze.
A billion supreme-grade divine stones?
Lin Wudao was stunned.
That was divine stones they were talking about!
He was only a late-stage Divine Transformation realm cultivator. How could he possibly possess such a high-grade item?
On top of that, the divine stones had to be supreme grade, and Mu Jiutian had just casually asked for a billion of them.
To the current Lin Wudao, this price was simply an astronomical figure.
“Eh, Brother Dongfang, don’t tell me you can’t even take out a mere one billion supreme-grade divine stones?”
Mu Jiutian blinked.
He had a strange look on his face.
To him, one billion supreme-grade divine stones were nothing.
Even just a fraction of his total expenditure in the City of Heavens was more than one billion supreme-grade divine stones.
“Umm… I didn’t bring any money with me today.”
Hmm? He came to the City of Heavens without divine stones?
Mu Jiutian’s expression was getting weirder.
He carefully sized up Lin Wudao and realized that the latter didn’t seem to be lying.
“Sigh, in that case, I’ll be a good person this time. I’ll lend this Heaven Evasion Cloak and the Mask of Heavens to you for the time being, Brother Dongfang. The next time you come, remember to bring some supreme-grade divine stones and pay me back.”
While he said this, Mu Jiutian immediately stuffed the Heaven Evasion Cloak and the Mask of Heavens into Lin Wudao’s hands.
“Many thanks.”
“It’s fine. It’s just one billion supreme-grade divine stones anyway. Plus, the more friends one has, the more routes one will have. Who knows? Maybe I’ll need your help in the future, Brother Dongfang,” Mu Jiutian laughed nonchalantly.
He didn’t think much of this small amount of money.
Lin Wudao, however, remembered this favor. He did not like to owe others favors, so if he had the chance in the future, he would definitely return it.
Thinking of this, He immediately put on the Heaven Evasion Cloak and the Mask of Heavens, then followed Mu Jiutian forward.
Along the way, Lin Wudao’s horizons had been greatly widened.
He saw all kinds of magical things.
Any one of them would be considered a supreme treasure or divine item in the Great World of Divine Desolation. Even Great Emperors and the Heavenly Emperors would go crazy over them.
“Brother Dongfang, if there’s something you want to buy, I can take you to have a look first. With this, the next time you come, you can go and buy it directly.”
“Hmm… Do you have anything for mortals?” After pondering for some time, Lin Wudao suddenly said.
Huh? Mortals?
Mu Jiutian was stunned.
“Those below the True God level are all called mortals. In the City of Heavens, there don’t seem to be many mortal items. They’re only sold in the mortal district on Ninth Avenue. Let me take you there to have a look.”
“Alright.”
Lin Wudao secretly noted down the location.
With that, Mu Jiutian took out an ancient divine boat and was about to take Lin Wudao to Ninth Avenue in the First Heaven.
Boom!
However, just as the two were about to leave, a loud bell chime suddenly sounded across the vast sky.
Moreover, it was accompanied by supreme majesty.
“What’s going on?” Lin Wudao’s eyes narrowed.
He turned around and saw that Mu Jiutian’s expression was extremely serious.
“Hmm… How many years has it been? To think the legendary Bell of the Heavens has rung once again. It looks like something big is about to happen in the City of Heavens,” Mu Jiutian said with a frown.
The Bell of the Heavens?
Lin Wudao was puzzled.
“Brother Dongfang, the so-called Bell of the Heavens is a supreme divine item. It will chime every time there’s a major event in the City of Heavens. I remember that the last time the Bell of the Heavens rang was in the first epoch of the mythological era. It’s been so many eras since then. Judging from this, it seems that this matter is not small.”
As he said this, Mu Jiutian looked up at the vast sky.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
…
Along with the vast power, the endless truth of the Great Dao manifested.
Then, a holy light screen was formed in the void.
[By the order of the City Lord, from this day forth, the City of Heavens has produced its tenth Supreme!]
[The wielder of the supreme talisman can enjoy the best treatment in the City of Heavens and enjoy a 10% discount on all purchases.]
[Time Limit: Permanent.]
One by one, extremely mysterious ancient seal characters appeared out of thin air.
Whoosh.
When the last character appeared, a purple ancient talisman with the word “Supreme” engraved on it condensed in the void.
At this moment, all living beings in the City of Heavens stared with wide eyes.
Their faces were filled with respect and yearning.
Yet another Supreme had appeared in the City of Heavens!
