CHAPTER 508: CHAPTER 219 INNER CITY_2

This made him so excited that he almost danced with joy.

He thought there was no hope for this lifetime.

But in the end!

In reality, once he reached Nascent Soul, he had the hope of becoming an Outer Sect disciple, but at most it would be in name only, with no potential, only enjoying the most basic treatment of an Outer Sect disciple.

Now he successfully became an Outer Sect disciple, not based on his Nascent Soul cultivation, but because he comprehended the transformation of sword qi into silk and achieved sword heart clarity.

This way, he still has hope of becoming an Inner Sect disciple if he puts forth effort during his lifetime.

With the Nascent Soul cultivator, he took the lead.

Very soon, he completed the formalities, registered his identity, paid the fees, and entered the Inner City.

Moreover, he obtained a piece of land in the Inner City for free.

This is the value of a Nascent Soul.

However, being a Nascent Soul cultivated in Wu Feng Domain, if Wu Feng Domain faces disaster, he must assist.

Of course, as a Sword Heaven Outer Sect disciple now, even if he doesn’t come, the two families of Wu Feng Domain wouldn’t hold him accountable.

There’s no custom-building here, so he directly went to a shop to buy a residence-type top-grade magical artifact.

He casually tossed it, and it transformed into a mansion landing on the ground.

It looked very good, quite luxurious.

Inserted the spirit stones and activated the defensive array.

The group walked inside.

From now on, they finally settled down in the Inner City.

There were no Daoist Soldiers outside.

This Inner City was heavily fortified, with Golden Core Daoist Soldiers patrolling everywhere, and arrays were densely packed. Even a Nascent Soul could not fly freely.

The Inner City itself was a magical treasure, along with mysterious grand arrays inside it, which reputedly could instantly kill a peak Nascent Soul.

The arrays here could also restrict, unable to cast spells beyond Golden Core level.

Therefore, the patrolling Golden Core Daoist Soldiers were enough to handle Nascent Soul-level matters and could suppress them.

In public areas, there were also City-Watching Mirrors, capable of retracing scenes of incidents, facilitating the resolution of conflicts.

Moreover, if someone had an accident in the Inner City, the City Lord’s Mansion would be responsible, and a large sum of spirit stones must be compensated even if it was just Foundation Establishment.

Thus, the Four Celestial Disciples were not allowed to cause trouble here either.

To be a Domain Lord, the governing two families must also have a strong backing.

Finally, safety was assured.

Small Knife immediately began observing this Inner City.

The Inner City was already extremely vast, but in reality, after Small Knife’s observation, it was a hundred times stronger than seen from the outside.

It was evidently similar to a secret realm, formed by the world earth vein extreme point.

With careful observation, there should be much to see.

Using a magical treasure and world extreme point to merge? Forming a secret realm, it’s really very instructive.

Just by seeing, Small Knife got a lot of inspiration.

The spiritual qi here was extremely dense, cultivation speed was a hundred times that of the outside world, even with the worst spirit root, there was great future potential in cultivation here.

Of course, it wasn’t so easy to stay here.

Only Nascent Soul cultivators could stay for free, with the responsibility of protecting the Wu Feng Domain, while non-Four Heavens Outer Sect disciples or above had to sign a contract to obtain a piece of land for cultivation for free.

Moreover, bringing juniors was limited, not many in number, and it also required payment of fees, with extra fees being even more exorbitant.

Small Knife, Big Beard, his three disciples, and those seeds.

Other than that, it was just a few diplomatic stewards from the Little Knife Commerce Association.

They never dreamed they could enter the Inner City themselves?

Even if the Little Knife Commerce Association had this qualification, they never believed that people like them, lacking talent and background, could be brought in, it was simply a miracle.

Naturally, everyone became very diligent.

Even in the Inner City, Nascent Soul cultivators remained rare, mostly ordinary cultivators.

However, no matter how they appeared, each one was definitely of extraordinary status.

Because appearing in the Inner City meant qualification, outside they were all big shots.

But outside cultivating for a hundred days here equaled one day, who’d be foolish enough to leave without reason?

So without needing any status, these few Little Knife Commerce Association stewards easily connected with many cultivators, obtaining a plethora of information.

Indeed, it was here that used the earth vein extreme point for refining treasures, currently just a thousand years old, and this city was a magical treasure.

In another nine thousand years, it could evolve into a pseudo spiritual artifact.

Reportedly using spiritual objects to forcibly nurture an artifact spirit.

As for what artifact spirit this city was currently nurturing, that’s a secret.

However, from here, it was learned that other domains, those mature regions, controlled teleportation arrays, all being pseudo spiritual artifacts.

Because they have artifact spirits, they can control the flow of spiritual qi within the city, residential requirements, and the stops weren’t high.

But the spiritual qi consumed within them was recorded by the artifact spirit and charged based on consumption.

Moreover, it could tailor environments with thousandfold spiritual qi as requested, all as customized charges.

Having an artifact spirit could effortlessly perfectly control everything within the city, without requiring patrolling cultivator Daoist Soldiers.

An artifact spirit could activate a spiritual artifact to kill or imprison Nascent Soul powerhouses.

Therefore, Wu Feng Domain as a new domain, needs at least nine thousand years of development to be considered a mature domain, breeding an artifact spirit.

By then, with the pseudo spiritual artifact’s cooperation under the leadership of a Nascent Soul cultivator, it could annihilate a Divinity Transformation Great Cultivator.

Only then could it shed the name of a new domain, achieving a certain level of safety.

However, even currently, as the core of a domain, safety was not an issue here.

Regardless of the reason, there were powerful magical treasures suppressing the area, not allowing any fights.

Whatever the reason, it was simply not allowed.

Thus, essentially, safety was guaranteed.

And also, this was the only place with a teleportation array to leave the domain to other regions.

Some specialties from other domains, goods from the outer world weren’t few.

Various precious materials treasures outside were sold in shops here, not to mention many premium items at auctions.

And anyone could participate, no restrictions, as long as they did not leave the Inner City, no one dared to strike viciously.

"Thirteen million spirit stones!"

"Any higher bids?"

Thirteen million spirit stones once.

Thirteen million spirit stones twice.

Sold.

The Red Flame Star Core fragment obtained.

Leaving the world, amidst the chaos of countless worlds, with innumerable star remains left after world destructions.

The Red Flame Star Core fragment was a material within the fire attribute remains.

Of course, it’s merely a fragment of it, not a star core type used for refining immortal artifacts.

Even so, this palm-sized, average quality fragment sold for over ten million at auction.

Acquired by Small Knife.

This time attending the auction naturally wasn’t for this, but it was an unexpected surprise.

He himself didn’t need it.

Handed it directly to the ever-dutiful Big Beard serving as a bodyguard behind him.

This fellow, even upon reaching Nascent Soul, continued to adhere to the agreement within the Inner City, always following as a bodyguard.

This left Small Knife quite helpless.

"Demon Heaven is quite crazy, don’t think you’re safe in the Inner City, even those mature old domains, it’s not unheard of for them to be blood sacrificed by Demon Heaven and demonized." That was Big Beard’s reason, and it sounded quite reasonable.

Despite being helpless, Small Knife was also rather satisfied, not minding the fact that this person exited personal space and was struck by thunder.

It dispersed all invasive power in personal space.

Originally, upon Nascent Soul Formation, world power started corroding, coupled with future opportunities, sooner or later personal space would assimilate, who would’ve expected it to be dispersed upon exit by thunder.

Even so, kind-hearted Small Knife still auctioned off this item.

Casually handed it to Big Beard.

Big Beard was very excited, seeing the Young Master bidding for this item, had already guessed.

But truly receiving it in hand, he still found it unbelievable.

Because it was too precious.

Over ten million spirit stones.

However, with this item, his lifebound treasure that had been nurtured for nearly a thousand years could be upgraded significantly, immensely increasing its power, doubling his strength.

More importantly, his Lifebound Flying Sword could advance further.

Hailing from humble origins, this lifebound flying sword had exhausted all he had, yet its quality remained limited, reaching its limit now, and continuous nurturing could not enhance it.

Through the years, he had added many materials, reaching the maximum, and ordinary materials could no longer be added.

Of course, nothing is absolute.

Red Flame Star Core fragment, from chaos, material from a destroyed world, even if just a leftover piece, could already allow his lifebound treasure to be reborn.

Therefore, doubling combat strength wasn’t important, what’s important was allowing the Lifebound Flying Sword to have further potential for advancement.

That is hope, that is the future.
