Chapter 122: No Money
The burning sight disappeared into a chill, making the rest of them shiver. Not only did they experience physical chills, even their hearts felt chilly along with itching scalps and stiffened joints.
Perhaps only the Mahayala cultivators in this realm could shield themselves from the Fiery Nebula to pass through, but it would not be as easy. Daji not only shielded them from the Fiery Nebula, she froze them with a point of a finger?
What realm was this?
This was definitely the skill of an Immortal!
They viewed Daji differently from before. The four of them instinctively took a step away from her.
Qin Manyun looked at the sight with disbelief. “Wasn’t the bridge to Immortality broken? How…”
The highest cultivating realm in this Immortal Realm was Mahayala—everyone knew that. There had been no known cases of anyone becoming an Immortal for countless years.
And yet, Daji’s ability was definitely an Immortal’s. So…the bridge to Immortality was not broken?
And…why was Daji not immortalized?
Qin Manyun’s thoughts were everywhere. She could not make sense of things.
Seeing how confused she seemed, Daji said, “There’s no difference between an Immortal and an ordinary man to master. It’d be foolish to determine a master’s thinking using ordinary logic.”
Qin Manyun instantly understood and thought she was silly for thinking otherwise.
Indeed. Who was Li Nianfan? To him, the ordinary and Immortal realms were similar places.
With that, everyone left the deck and went into their rooms. However, it was a sleepless night for most of them.
The next day.
It was almost noon when the skyship emerged from the clouds and proceeded to land in a completely new world.
Li Nianfan stood on the deck with the others, looking down from above. He could see a green world below him. Under the shade of countless green trees were ponds and mountains. Some mountains were joined with one another while some proudly stood alone.
Looking down from the deck, one could see countless lights passing by as more and more cultivators appeared. Some were flying in ships while others simply flew in the air. From time to time, some cultivators would turn to look at the skyship in awe—wearing the look of an ordinary man meeting a billionaire. This was especially so when they saw the group of people standing on the deck.
Was there an ordinary man standing in the middle? The cultivators were surrounding an ordinary man? Could this be a lowkey bigshot in disguise?
Chills went down their spines as they recalled rumors about the fetishes of some bigshots. For example, those who would try to conceal their identity and live like ordinary men. This was probably it!
It seemed that they should be wary and treat ordinary men with more respect, just in case it was an expert in disguise!
The skyship continued to fly past countless forests and mountains. Finally, a massive high tower appeared in front of it.
The high tower was built on a mountain that was different from the rest. The bottom half of the mountain was a forest while the upper half was barren and flat as if it was shaved off.
Even so, this mountain was still the tallest among the rest. The flat surface naturally became a high tower—massive and eye-catchingly huge!
Most interesting of all was the valley beside this tall mountain. It was deep and had black soil without a single trace of grass!
The shaved-off mountain and this weird-looking valley created a unique sight. This left Li Nianfan in awe, amazed by this wonderful Immortal Realm. He had seen more of the world during this trip!
Without having to be told, Li Nianfan knew that they had reached their destination. All the traveling lights headed in the direction of the high tower. The skyship slowed down and started to descend. Finally, they landed on the high tower as well.
Qin Manyun said, “Mr. Li, we’re here.”
Li Nianfan nodded and walked off the skyship with the others. Once he stepped off the skyship, he felt a warm breeze blowing at him, making him feel at ease. Looking around, he was standing on the tall mountain. He had a different view from the skyship—it was more down to earth. The sight from above made one feel tiny.
The high tower was flat as a mirror, paved with special tiles. It was like a massive square. It was crowded with cultivators as well as ordinary men for the event. Some even found empty spaces to set up their stalls.
Both the cultivators and ordinary men were selling things from their stalls. Although they were selling different things, Li Nianfan was amused by the sight of it.
Other than the stalls, there were a variety of shops on the tower. Their decorations and designs made it seem like a big city!
“With the support of Azure Ville, this place is developing well!” the Holy Emperor remarked with a look of admiration.
As the emperor of the Ganlong Immortal Dynasty, he hoped for his Dynasty to flourish as well.
Luo Shiyu nodded in agreement. “Yes. I remember a hundred years ago, there was nobody around here. Who’d have thought that in merely a hundred years, it’d look so different!”
“Nobody dared to visit the Azure Villa due to its close proximity to the entrance of the Demon Realm.” Qin Manyun continued, “But now, the Lord of Azure Ville is a powerful man, the man who’s hosting the Azure Demon Lockdown Grand Ceremony. He’s indeed very impressive!”
Li Nianfan nodded beside them. The Lord of Azure Ville was able to turn the tide and develop this once-empty land into a prosperous one. He was indeed a successful man!
As they walked along the street, the blending of cultivators and ordinary men made Li Nianfan feel welcomed.
Meanwhile, he stopped in front of a tall, well-built building. He looked up to see a big signboard that said ‘Immortal Guest House’.
This building was built by the side of the square and was at least ten floors tall in height. None of the other buildings were taller than this which gave this building a very good view from above.
Regardless if one were to dine or stay there, it would be a luxurious experience.
Li Nianfan could not help but remark, “Immortal Guest House. I’m guessing this must be a place for cultivators to rest and dine?”
“Not really. Anyone can stay there as long as they have Spiritual Stones.” Qin Manyun seemed to have understood Li Nianfan’s deeper meanings. She said in excitement, “Actually, I’ve made a reservation there for us. So, please, feel free to go in.”
Li Nianfan frowned slightly before he shook his head. “I bet prices there aren’t cheap. I can’t let you pay for it. Is there a place for ordinary men to stay in?”
He was inconsiderate this time. Of course, one needed money during a vacation!
He had no money. What could he do?
