Wang Yu
Chapter 175: Trans-Ocean Thunder Ark
Judging from the information he obtained from Fang Pan, he was clearly not completely out of danger yet, but at least the most pressing threat had finally been eliminated.
He shook his head, released his spiritual sense to scan the surroundings, then steered his escape light and sped off in a certain direction.
Before long, he appeared before a city of considerable size.
At this point, he once again changed his appearance, transforming into a Confucian scholar in his thirties. He restrained his cultivation aura, held a peach wood paper fan, and leisurely fanned himself as he walked into the city with the surrounding crowd.
This city was called "Guan Yue City" and already belonged to the eastern region of the Desolate Tide Continent.
During the chase with Fang Pan, he had mostly traveled east, which had not been a wasted effort.
This city was vastly different from the remote city of Lin Hai. Its prosperity was comparable to that of Black Wind City, although it was not as large.
Unlike Lin Hai City, the vast majority of people in the surrounding crowd were mortals without any magical cultivation. There were not many cultivators, and their cultivation was at most at the Core Formation stage, with even fewer Nascent Soul stage cultivators.
Furthermore, these cultivators had all, without exception, restrained their auras, blending into the crowd like ordinary mortals.
Along the way, he had passed through many cities of various sizes, but apart from the initial Lin Hai City, most of the other cities were basically part of the secular world, belonging to various kingdoms.
Moreover, it seemed to be a generally accepted rule in these cities that cultivators restrain their auras and were not allowed to fly.
This was all to maintain order in the secular world.
Maintaining this order, of course, were the cultivation forces behind the official powers.
Of course, in some larger cities, certain areas would be secretly designated as market districts for cultivators to stay.
As one of the leading cities within tens of thousands of miles, Guan Yue City naturally had a market district.
The market district in the city was located in the southeast region. The concealment restrictions there were like nothing to Han Li. He went straight in and followed the main street lined with shops to a tall building made of white megaliths.
The tower was several tens of feet high and looked quite majestic. In the sunlight, it radiated a layer of crystalline light, making it very eye-catching.
This was the location of Guan Yue City's teleportation array.
Near the white giant tower was a golden palace, which was the location of the city's Immortal Inn.
Han Li directly stepped into the white giant tower. Inside the first floor hall, the first thing that caught his eye were five teleportation arrays, each separated by no more than a hundred feet, arranged in a ring around the hall. Next to each array was a golden-robed cultivator.
From the golden dragon pattern embroidered on their robes, it could be seen that these people belonged to the Immortal Palace.
Next to each teleportation array, several cultivators were standing sparsely, seemingly waiting for something.
Han Li glanced around and walked directly to the central teleportation array.
"Fellow Daoist, please go over there to pay the spirit stones and receive a teleportation talisman. Once enough people have gathered, you can teleport." Before Han Li could speak, the golden-robed youth said with a smile.
Han Li followed the youth's indication. There was a long stone table with a golden-robed old man sitting behind it, and several people were lined up behind the table.
The person at the front of the line was taking out a golden token and a small bag of spirit stones to hand over.
Seeing this, Han Li's heart stirred, and he immediately turned and left the teleportation hall.
He wandered around a deserted alley nearby. When he came out, he had transformed into a middle-aged man with a sallow complexion. Then, he walked directly into the Immortal Inn and went to the place where Immortal Tokens were issued.
"State your name and place of origin," asked a balding old man.
"Li Feiyu, from the Dragon Jade Mountain Range," Han Li said calmly.
Previously, he had set off from Lin Hai City with the identity of Liu Shi. If someone deliberately investigated this matter, they might be able to find out. Continuing to use this identity was no longer safe, so it was better to change it.
A moment later, Han Li returned to the White Stone Giant Tower and quickly reached his turn.
"Where are you teleporting to?" the golden-robed old man asked expressionlessly, taking the Immortal Token handed over by Han Li.
"Red Lake City," Han Li said, his eyes flashing slightly.
…
Thunderbolt City was located on the far eastern coast of the Desolate Tide Continent. One step further, and you would be in the famous Thunderbolt Sea of the Northern Cold Immortal Territory.
This city occupied a vast area and was located at a coastal hub. High-level cultivators who wanted to cross the Thunderbolt Sea to other continents would naturally gather here.
With such geographical advantages, Thunderbolt City was naturally extremely prosperous. Although it couldn't be said to be the largest city in the Desolate Tide Continent, it could rank among the top five.
Affected by the Thunderbolt Sea, the sky above the city was dark as ink all year round, covered by layers of thick clouds. From time to time, huge bolts of lightning could be seen shuttling through the clouds, making rumbling sounds.
In addition, every few miles within the city, there was a towering giant tree. Each tree was thousands of feet high, and its entire body was dark purple. Thunder and lightning-shaped patterns faintly appeared on the leaves and trunk.
The purple giant trees had lush branches and leaves, like a purple giant umbrella that was spread out, echoing each other and causing the entire city to be completely covered by these purple branches and leaves.
These purple giant trees were called Urgent Thunder Trees and had the ability to attract and accumulate lightning power and were not afraid of lightning strikes.
The Thunderbolt Sea was often hit by terrible thunderstorms all year round. Thunderbolt City was close to the Thunderbolt Sea and was often affected. If there were no Urgent Thunder Trees, Thunderbolt City would probably have been destroyed long ago.
In addition, this tree could also convert the accumulated lightning power into thunder light, providing the entire city with continuous thunder light illumination day and night.
Therefore, in Thunderbolt City, there was no distinction between day and night.
In the center of the city, inside the first floor of a purple giant tower hall, more than a dozen teleportation arrays flickered, receiving and sending away waves of people.
The first floor hall was extremely large, several hundred feet in size, but it was also crowded with people.
At this time, a flash of light appeared on a teleportation array, and more than a dozen figures emerged, then walked out. One of them was a middle-aged man with a sallow complexion, who was Han Li in disguise.
He followed the flow of people out of the teleportation hall, looked at the wide street in front of him, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After traveling for several months, he had finally arrived here. As long as he crossed the Thunderbolt Sea, he could reach the Ancient Cloud Continent where the Candle Dragon Dao was located.
Although there were Urgent Thunder Trees overhead, he could still hear the rumbling of thunder from the sky from time to time.
However, most of the bustling crowds on the street looked as usual, obviously accustomed to this situation. Only those who came to Thunderbolt City for the first time would be disturbed by the constant thunder.
Han Li was naturally not affected by these thunderclaps, but he still couldn't help but take a few more glances at the sea of trees overhead, which emitted white electricity like clouds.
Just then, a young voice came into his ears:
"Senior, judging by your appearance, this should be your first time in Thunderbolt City."
Hearing this, Han Li looked in the direction of the voice. Not far from him, a kind-looking youth was cupping his hands in a respectful bow.
Seeing that Han Li did not speak, the youth continued:
"I am Gu Sanming. The streets in the city are complex, and it is not convenient to handle many things. If Senior needs to buy anything or find any place, I can help."
"A tout? Very well. Tell me, how can I safely cross the Thunderbolt Sea?" Han Li said expressionlessly.
"Senior...wants to cross the sea?" The kind-looking youth was slightly stunned.
"What, can't I?" Han Li frowned.
"No, no, Senior, if you want to cross the sea, then you've come to the right person! Although my cultivation is low, I used to work for the Black Feather Chamber of Commerce a few years ago. When it comes to crossing the Thunderbolt Sea, only the Black Feather Chamber of Commerce's cross-sea thunder boat is the safest. If I remember correctly, there will be a cross-sea thunder boat setting sail in more than two months. There should still be places available now." Because Han Li's aura was restrained, the youth originally thought he was just a cultivator traveling here, but after a second thought, he immediately changed his tone.
"Cross-sea thunder boat?" Han Li raised his eyebrows slightly.
"I was negligent. Senior just arrived in Thunderbolt City, so you are naturally not familiar with the situation here." The kind-looking youth quickly apologized.
"It's okay. Since you are so familiar with it, tell me all about the cross-sea thunder boat, the more detailed the better. If I'm satisfied with what you say, I won't skimp on the reward." Han Li said indifferently.
He had also learned about the means of crossing the Thunderbolt Sea through some channels on the way, and he had indeed heard of the extraordinary nature of this cross-sea thunder boat. Now that he was on the ground, it was a good time to learn about it.
After all, this sea was said to be so dangerous, so naturally, he had to try to find a relatively safe way to cross the sea.
"Yes! The so-called cross-sea thunder boat is a special flying boat specially refined and manufactured for traveling through the Thunderbolt Sea. The Thunderbolt Sea is filled with extremely terrible lightning all year round and often forms huge thunder storms, comparable to the Nine Heavens Lightning Tribulation... Ordinary flying boats entering it will soon be torn apart by the terrible lightning power. However, the materials used for this cross-sea thunder boat are extremely special lightning-resistant materials, and the outside is plated with a layer of Urgent Thunder Tree membrane, which is a special membrane extracted from the juice of this Urgent Thunder Tree. No matter how big the thunderstorm is, it can't hurt it in the slightest, and it can safely cross the Thunderbolt Sea..." The kind-looking youth said with a smile on his face.
"I see, how many spirit stones does it cost to ride this boat?" Han Li nodded slightly and asked.
"Because the cross-sea thunder boat is the safest, the price is naturally not cheap. It requires five hundred high-grade spirit stones," the kind-looking youth said hesitantly, rubbing his hands, while secretly looking at the change in Han Li's expression.
"Take me to see it," Han Li said expressionlessly.
"Senior, please follow me," the kind-looking youth said, his heart pounding wildly.
Although he couldn't see anything from Han Li's face, if the other party really planned to take the boat, since he had promoted it, the reward given by the Chamber of Commerce would be a considerable amount.
(Because I encountered some bottlenecks in conceiving the following plot, Wang Yu wants to think about it carefully in order to ensure the quality of the manuscript. I can only update one chapter temporarily for today and tomorrow!)
