BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1757 - Time City
Chapter 1757: Time City
Among the thirty-three immortal realms, other than the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, there were still thirty-two immortal realms which are otherwise also known as the lower worlds. The peak powers of each region in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms had control over quite a few immortal realms, with one of the regions controlling three, the others four. Azure Mystic Immortal Realms was the only lower world yet to be controlled by any region or if not, just so nicely, each of the eight regions would control four lower worlds.
Naturally, this was an ideal number. If Azure Mystic hadn’t been sealed away, it was unknown which region would have control over it.
Right now in the Mystic Region, there were a total of three hegemon-level powers. In their hands, they control a total of four lower worlds. From this, one could very well imagine how strong they are. Naturally, these hegemon powers also have many subordinate powers under them and their subordinate powers were also immensely powerful ones.
But from Qin Wentian’s understanding of the general situation in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, the Mystic Region wasn’t the strongest. A very long time ago, he had already learned from the crazy old freak that there was a region in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms that focused solely on the buddhist-path and they controlled a total of four lower worlds as well. The buddha religion was then spread throughout the four lower worlds as they gathered even more members than ever before.
Also, in the Universe Region in the western direction, the territories under the buddha sect’s control also had the name of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
The location of the Convention of the Myriad Realms was always fixed. It was just that because the Qingcheng Realm was extremely far away but if one made some enquiries, they would learn that for this convention that occurs once every ten thousand years, the location was always at an ancient city that was a symbol to the Mystic Region. It was a place where gods rose. In the ancient era, during the time where the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms were divided into eight regions by the first generations of heavenly deities, one of the eight heavenly deities originated precisely from this city. That was a legendary character that was given the title Time King, there were also others who referred to him as the Godking of Time.
In order to commemorate the city he was born in this city was renamed Time City.
And now, Qin Wentian arrived at this ancient and majestic city. It has been around two years plus since he received the invitation and the Convention of the Myriad Realms would soon commence in several months time inside this city. He came here a few months earlier in advance. He had to travel through several realms and spent a very long time before he arrived.
Naturally, Qin Wentian wasn’t the only one who came. There were many people who followed him. Qing`er, Qingcheng, Beiming Youhuang, Evergreen Immortal Emperor, Nanfeng Yaoyue and the others all chose to come with him, preparing to take in the sights of the Convention of the Myriad Realms. Also, all of them possessed enough strength now and could wander about freely. In addition to the fact that he was already a world overlord, they needn’t be as cautious as before when they roamed this world.
As for the Qingcheng Realm, everything there now has already been stabilized. With the passage of a hundred years, the nine world palace lords have finished their restructuring completely. There wouldn’t be any chaos.
Little Rascal, who was currently in the form of a golden roc, soared through the air and descended on the ground. In this city, many majestic buildings were constructed so tall that their top would touch the clouds. Those traveling in the air needed to take note of this, and there would also be many powerful greater demons flying in the air frequently, consisting of dragons, phoenixes, kirins, taotie, qiongqi and some other powerful variation-type demon beasts.
“I realized that empyreans, who are considered rare in the Qingcheng Realm, cannot be counted as anything here.” Jun Mengchen glanced at the experts in the surroundings as he spoke. In the past, the Lifelong Sainthall controlled Lifelong City extremely strictly. Ordinary characters wouldn’t have the qualifications to stay in the Lifelong Sainthall, let alone an ancient legendary city like Time City.
“Senior brother, do you see any world overlords?” Jun Mengchen asked Qin Wentian. Even now, he still referred to Qin Wentian as senior brother.
“Mhm, there are quite a few.” Qin Wentian nodded.
“Where are they?” Excitement flashed in Jun Mengchen’s eyes. He hadn’t met many world overlords before, only a few. Now that they’ve reached Time City, he naturally wanted to see how powerful the world overlords here are.
“You see the white-hair elder in front of you?” Qin Wentian spoke in a low voice to Jun Mengchen. Jun Mengchen started and stared ahead, there was indeed an old man with white hair there. He was currently hobbling slowly with a bent back, and looked extremely aged. Also, his dressing was very simple, his appearance couldn’t be anything more ordinary.
“Senior, are you sure you are not lying to me?” Jun Mengchen blinked. When he spoke, the old man in front halted his steps and turned back to glance at Jun Mengchen. His eyes narrowed into slits as he smiled but at this moment, a terrifying beam of light suddenly shot out from the eyes of this old man. In just an instant, Jun Mengchen felt his own soul being confined as he fell into a daze.
“Who asked you to speak nonsense? Quickly apologize to this senior.” Qin Wentian laughed. When he spoke, a formless energy radiated from him, causing Jun Mengchen to feel much better. That old man also laughed as he glanced at Qin Wentian.
“Junior has overstepped my bounds. Please forgive me.” Jun Mengchen weakly laughed. At this moment, no more doubts filled his heart.
“No worries.” The old man laughed. He then spoke to Qin Wentian, “Young man, are you here to participate in the Convention of the Myriad Realms?”
“Mhm, is old sir participating as well?” Qin Wentian smiled and nodded.
“Yes.” That old man nodded. “To think that you brought all your family and friends with you. You juniors are truly interesting.
“We have never traveled so far before, since this is a rare to comeby opportunity, I naturally must bring them along with me to broaden our horizons.” Qin Wentian replied.
“I see.” The old man nodded. After that, he turned around and with a flash, he completely disappeared from this area. Jun Mengchen felt that there was something wrong with his eyes. The space which the old man occupied was now completely empty. Even his immortal sense wasn’t able to locate that old man.
“So fast.” Jun Mengchen exclaimed in admiration. Qin Wentian smiled at him, “Don’t speak randomly like that again, Time City has many crouching tigers and hidden dragons. Other than that old man, there was an extremely young-looking male on our left earlier. Did you notice him?”
“Mhm, he looks to be of roughly the same age as me.”
“That person is also an overlord.” Qin Wentian spoke in a low voice. Jun Mengchen rolled his eyes, feeling somewhat speechless and depressed. He himself was still an empyrean, he didn’t have the capabilities to break through to the world overlord realm yet.
“Let’s find an inn to stay in first. We still have to be here for a period of time.” Qin Wentian spoke. Everyone nodded in agreement. They had traveled long and far before finally arriving here. It was indeed time to take a break. During these few days, they haven’t eaten any food either. Since they are already here now, they also felt like trying out the delicacies of Time City.
Although stellar martial cultivators can survive without food and it wouldn’t affect them in any case, wanting to eat was a desire that everyone has. Also, the food in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms weren’t simply food, they were all heavenly ingredients and earthly treasures. While enjoying these delicacies, the food could also improve your physique although the effect was quite minute.
Not long after, they found an inn with a restaurant attached to it. In one of the pavilions, they ordered a great deal of food while enjoying the view of the city.
Little Rascal reverted to his puppy form. His appetite was extremely large and could be described as a ravenous wolf, devouring all his food whole. He had a look of intense enjoyment on his face. Jun Mengchen wasn’t better in anyway either, constantly stuffing food into his mouth. The beauties here were much more elegant in their table manners. Mo Qingcheng couldn’t help but to speak out in admiration, “The food here is truly made from extremely valuable ingredients. After eating them, I can feel that the energy flow in my body is automatically circulating around, providing a sense of comfort.”
Mo Qingcheng was only at the immortal emperor realm now and she could feel the positive effects from the food more clearly. But even for empyreans, they could also feel the positive effects although to a lesser degree.
“Sister-in-law, you have to look at the price they are charging us. We are paying in overlord-ranked world stones. This is simply too luxurious, senior brother is there really a need to spend so extravagantly?” Jun Mengchen speechlessly asked. The unit of currency spent here was world stones. Even a piece of world stone was priceless.
“It’s very rare for us to tour the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms and we must naturally enjoy ourselves to the fullest.” Qin Wentian was feeling very good. It was very rare for everyone to be able to gather here like this, enjoying the delicacies. So what even if he had to spend more? Right now, he was already the Qingcheng Realmlord, all the resources there belonged to him. Although world stones are extremely valuable, he didn’t lack them. Let alone the fact that he had brought many divine treasures out from the divine depositories in the ancient battlefield along with him.
“Sir, you must have come to Time City from afar, right?” A beautiful serving girl bringing the food dishes over smiled at Jun Mengchen. She belonged to those types of beauties that would cause one to feel comfortable the longer one looked at them. Her smile was filled with amiability. Yet, a beauty like her was only qualified to become a serving girl here. How could this city not be considered grand and majestic?
“Seems like you have guessed correctly.” Jun Mengchen grinned.
“Mhm, in Time City, enjoying food delicacies are considered more ordinary, it cannot be considered extravagant. You have yet to visit the treasure transaction market. The prices there are truly what the word ‘extravagant’ means. If Sir wants to buy a robe or if these beautiful fairies or wishes to buy accessories, the cost might range from a thousand to ten thousand world stones and the grade of these stones cannot be of the inferior quality ones.” The serving girl warmly smiled but she didn’t give off any feeling of looking down or ridiculing them.
“What clothings and accessories are that?” Jun Mengchen was stunned.
“They are naturally overlord-ranked treasures manufactured by powerful grand masters. A piece of clothing or a single accessory might not be so conspicuous but they all might be extremely powerful, providing either a boost to your attack or heightening your defense. They are the combination of fashion and practicality.” The serving girl smiled.
Qin Wentian’s eyes flashed, he glanced at the serving girl. Her words seemed to be spoken to Mo Qingcheng and Qing`er. This beautiful serving girl was truly extremely intelligent, using such a method to introduce these things to them.
“I do feel like taking a tour. Are you willing to guide us around? I will naturally pay you some compensation.” Qin Wentian laughed. He did indeed need a guide around here so as to better understand Time City as well as the Convention of the Myriad Realms.
“If sir really needs a guide, I’m happy to serve. It’s just that Sir can also see that I’m very busy today. I can only accept this appointment tomorrow.” The serving girl bowed.
“Sure.” Qin Wentian nodded.
“Ye Zi shall wait for Sir here at this place tomorrow.” The serving girl bowed again to Qin Wentian before she retreated.
“Senior brother, are you planning to buy some accessories for the sisters-in-law?” Jun Mengchen blinked. He then continued, “I felt that the serving girl is purposely hinting for sisters-in-law to go shopping.”
“That’s her intention exactly but we might as well take the chance to tour the city and broaden our horizons. Even if we don’t shop for accessories, we should take a look to see if there are any places of interest here. So, how can we lack a guide?” Qin Wentian smiled. Jun Mengchen nodded his head. Nanfeng Yaoyue and the others smiled as they glanced at Qin Wentian. This fellow truly doted on Qing`er and Qingcheng a lot, he didn’t mind spending huge amounts of capital on them!
