221: Little Zhimeng, so bold
“What a magical city…”
Gu Qing looked up at the city, which seemed close at hand but was actually far away.
Like a mirage, the city’s image was like the sun, illuminating the boundless starry sky.
Upon closer inspection, the city resembled a lone boat floating in the vast universe, very small, like a miniature city that could be held in one’s palm.
But it contained a universe within, as if the city held a boundless great world.
The entire city was illuminated by divine light, and Dao rhyme flowed through it.
The aura it emitted could kill those in the Divine Fire Realm; if the array was fully activated, its power would only be more terrifying.
“This is the Heguang Immortal City’s Sun Immortal Light, illuminating the boundless void, guiding cultivators here.”
“The entire secret realm has three thousand He Guang Immortal Cities, refined by Immortal King He Guang, to protect cultivators from the erosion of the Morning Glow Evening Sea’s time turbulence.”
“Of course, to enter Heguang Immortal City, one must pay one thousand Immortal Crystals and can only stay for three days. After that, one hundred Immortal Crystals are required daily. If a cave dwelling is rented, the daily city fee is waived, but the one thousand Immortal Crystal entrance fee still applies.”
“If one obtains a time treasure and trades it with the City Lord, one can gain permanent free access to all He Guang Immortal Cities, receive a free cave dwelling, and choose any position to gain special privileges.”
Zhi Meng explained softly, her clear and indifferent eyes flashing with ambition, and she whispered.
“Immortal King He Guang is a supreme giant proficient in the Law of Time, with immeasurable divine power, the foremost figure below the Immortal Emperor.”
Gu Qing was silent upon hearing this.
Space is king, time is revered.
An Immortal King who achieved Dao through the Law of Time, even if not the strongest in the world, was close to it.
Moreover, using three thousand cities to collect time treasures, Immortal King He Guang’s comprehension of the Law of Time was absolutely unparalleled below the Immortal Emperor.
“So what?”
“What do you want to do?”
When Jiang Yu saw Zhi Meng’s expression, she knew that she was definitely up to no good.
Using her Heaven’s Sight and Earth’s Hearing divine ability to eavesdrop on Zhi Meng’s thoughts, Jiang Yu found that Zhi Meng was indeed thinking about how to rob He Guang City’s time treasures.
She was even thinking that after joining the Star Dao Sect, she would also establish some cities to collect time treasures.
If given the chance, she would kill Immortal King He Guang and take his place.
Jiang Yu was a bit speechless.
How dare little Zhi Meng fantasize about killing an Immortal King?
She even dared to plot robbing a Heavenly God Realm expert.
One should know that the City Lord of every Heguang Immortal City had at least Heavenly God Realm cultivation, and there were also many Profound Gods.
Coupled with the Heguang Immortal City’s array, even a Profound God Realm expert would not fare well, and might even risk death.
Furthermore, robbing Immortal King He Guang’s treasures was something even Immortal Kings dared not do, yet Zhi Meng dared. Her courage was unmatched.
Zhi Meng glanced at her sideways, sneering, “Jiang Yu, now that you and I have ascended to the Immortal Realm, everything starts anew. You no longer have the Star God Temple’s protection; let’s see how you can contend with me.”
She would not let Jiang Yu off.
She wanted to trample Jiang Yu underfoot to vent the hatred in her heart.
However, now was not a good time to deal with Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu was powerful and proficient in Heavenly Deduction, and she would still need Jiang Yu later.
It would not be too late to deal with Jiang Yu after she had established herself in Heguang Immortal City and converted her magic power into immortal essence.
“No need to trouble yourself.” Jiang Yu smiled indifferently.
“Heh, really?”
Zhi Meng sneered, her eyes filled with disdain: “Then for the one thousand Immortal Crystal entrance fee later, I won’t pay for you.”
In her opinion, Jiang Yu was a useless waste, aside from her talent, beauty, and intelligence.
She definitely wouldn’t survive in the unfamiliar Morning Glow Evening Sea.
Unlike her, if she needed something, she would just snatch it. No matter where she went, she could thrive.
“You…”
Jiang Yu’s expression was indignant, feeling as if a single penny could stump a hero.
She angrily said, “I don’t need your help; I also have a way to enter the city. Farewell, I’ll be going first.”
With that, she left decisively.
Because if she didn’t leave soon, she feared that once Gu Qing understood the Morning Glow Evening Sea, she wouldn’t be able to leave at all.
Anyway, with Zhi Meng accompanying Gu Qing, she had nothing to worry about.
Although Zhi Meng was bad, her abilities were truly strong.
Moreover, if she didn't leave, how could Zhi Meng and Gu Qing develop feelings over time?
She was still waiting for Zhi Meng, that bad seed, to be manipulated and have seven babies, so she could hold the children.
“???”
Seeing Jiang Yu leave without hesitation, Gu Qing suddenly had the illusion of being sold out.
Gu Qing shook his head speechlessly and understood.
Jiang Yu asking him to bring Zhi Meng meant she never intended to go treasure hunting with him at all.
She just wanted Zhi Meng to take him on an adventure.
“Why did she leave?”
Zhi Meng looked startled. She had only said it casually, wanting to humiliate Jiang Yu. She would have eventually paid the Immortal Crystals for Jiang Yu after Gu Qing pleaded for her.
After all, she still wanted to get revenge on Jiang Yu.
She had already rented a cave dwelling for three people.
Now that Jiang Yu was gone, in the vast universe, where would she find her to exact revenge?
“Forget it, if she’s gone, she’s gone. Sooner or later, I will find you and wash away this humiliation.”
Jiang Yu was determined to leave, and Zhi Meng could not bring herself to ask her to stay.
Zhi Meng could not afford to lose face like that.
Zhi Meng snorted, controlling the immortal light to fly towards Heguang Immortal City, while cautioning Gu Qing about various rules and to absolutely not violate He Guang City’s regulations.
Gu Qing nodded repeatedly, a sense of nervousness rising in his heart.
They had just arrived in the Immortal Realm, without support, and their strength was low.
Heguang Immortal City was practically a hegemon in the Morning Glow Evening Sea. If they accidentally offended Heguang Immortal City, they wouldn’t even know how they died.
“Don’t be afraid; if the sky falls, your master will hold it up. It’s just a small Heguang Immortal City; it can’t do anything to your master.”
Noticing Gu Qing’s concern, Zhi Meng spoke proudly, her demeanor confident and flamboyant.
In truth, she was also unsure, facing a behemoth like Heguang Immortal City with awe.
But she would absolutely not let Gu Qing be harmed. Gu Qing only needed to cultivate in peace; she would handle everything.
“Yes, I believe in Master.”
“Master’s divine abilities are extraordinary; she will surely make a name for herself here…” Gu Qing praised her profusely.
“You, glib-tongued.” Zhi Meng heard this, poked Gu Qing’s forehead, and her expression was doting.
Her brightly colored red lips parted slightly: “In front of outsiders, never call me Master. We will address each other as senior and junior disciples, and don’t expose our sect.”
“Why?”
“You will understand later.”
Zhi Meng’s eyes were full of tenderness as she tidied Gu Qing’s disheveled hair ornament, then gave him some more instructions before taking him into the city.
Heguang Immortal City had ninety-nine city gates and entrances, with people coming and going at each one.
Especially at the city entrance registration, it was crowded with people forming a long line.
Zhi Meng did not queue, her expression cold, and she threw out her last ten thousand Immortal Crystals.
“Give my junior disciple an entry jade token!”
The cultivators in line were annoyed to see Zhi Meng cutting in, and their faces showed displeasure.
The city official’s expression was even colder, but upon seeing Zhi Meng’s peerless beauty, a sinister and lewd smile immediately appeared on his face.
Just as he was about to speak, a storage ring was thrown over. He subconsciously probed it and saw ten thousand Immortal Crystals inside, immediately swallowing the words he was about to say.
One should know that an entry jade token only cost one thousand Immortal Crystals.
Zhi Meng casually threw out ten thousand, and her attitude was so arrogant and overbearing.
She must be from a very important background.
She must be from a major sect, and perhaps even related to a prominent figure in Heguang Immortal City.
If she had no connection to Heguang Immortal City, even a successor of a major power would not dare to be so presumptuous.
In short, they couldn’t afford to offend her.
Furthermore, after deducting the entrance fees for two people, he made a profit of eight thousand; he struck it rich today.
The city official quickly processed Gu Qing’s entry jade token and bowed obsequiously, inviting the two into the city.
“Immortaless, please come in quickly. If you need anything, just tell this humble one. My name is Luo Hui.”
Zhi Meng didn’t even look at him, her demeanor arrogant, her domineering aura emanating from within, like a queen, looking down on the world, swaggering into the city with Gu Qing.
She silently noted down the name Luo Hui in her heart.
“Snobbish, sycophantic little man…”
The people in line cursed silently in their hearts, but outwardly, they dared not show any of it.
They looked at Zhi Meng and Gu Qing with envious eyes.
It was well known that Heguang Immortal City was a behemoth in the Morning Glow Evening Sea. Offending Heguang Immortal City meant one could basically forget about surviving in the Morning Glow Evening Sea.
Additionally, the dangers in the Morning Glow Evening Sea were not just from time turbulence, but more so from other cultivators.
