Chapter 830 Dongyun Immortal City
Chapter 830 Dongyun Immortal City
Half a month later, Chen Yunhao finally arrived at another immortal city 400,000 miles away, covered in dust from his journey.
When he was in the lower realm, 400,000 li was only a matter of two days.
But now that they've reached the Immortal Realm, their speed should be even faster, yet it still took them half a month to arrive.
There's nothing that can be done; the Immortal Realm is, after all, the Immortal Realm. Many uninhabited areas aren't that cultivators don't want to occupy them, but rather that they simply can't.
Either it's unsuitable for human cultivators to settle down, or there are powerful immortal beasts present.
In short, Chen Yunhao went through two more risks and went through many twists and turns before finally arriving here.
Dongyun City is considered one of the top immortal cities in the entire northern part of Yunhuang, although it is ranked relatively low.
From thirty or forty miles away, Chen Yunhao could see the great immortal city lying at the foot of the mountain.
Although it's still quite far away, we can roughly tell that it's several times larger than Qingxuan City, definitely a great immortal city.
It is truly remarkable that a celestial city of this scale exists in the northern border region of Yunhuang, especially near the border.
Whether a celestial city is prosperous or not can be seen in advance; just by looking at the cultivators constantly taking off and landing in the air, one can tell that this place is extremely prosperous.
The previous two immortal cities were nothing compared to this one; they were worlds apart.
Dongyun City is backed by another mountain range, which stretches for more than 200,000 miles and is known as the Da Mi Mountain Range.
The Great Mi Mountain Range is not only vast in area, but more importantly, it is a mountain range with numerous spiritual veins, and the entire mountain range is rich in various spiritual herbs, spiritual materials, and even demonic beasts.
Therefore, the Great Mi Mountain Range is a treasure trove, and for all cultivators, it is the source of their resources.
Backed by this treasure mountain, the Dongyun Sect specializes in the trade of resources, which has made Dongyun City one of the most renowned immortal cities.
With abundant resources, it's possible to support more cultivators, including immortals.
There are six or seven immortals in Dongyun City, including Dongyun Sect, with two of them usually stationed in the city.
That's secondary. As for outsider cultivators like Chen Yunhao, there are always a few of them coming every now and then.
This is what Chen Yunhao values most: only by exchanging ideas with more immortals can he obtain more useful information.
As was customary, after entering the city, Chen Yunhao first visited several shops selling classical texts and collected a large number of them.
Although there are some repetitions, they are not many. After all, the Immortal Realm is too vast, and it is impossible for the cultivators who compiled the classics to travel all over the entire Northern Border of Yunhuang, let alone the entire Immortal Realm.
After entering the city, Chen Yunhao did not conceal his aura. Immortals frequently entered and exited Dongyun City, so there was no need to hide.
After collecting the books, Chen Yunhao entered the largest restaurant in the city.
It's not about satisfying their appetites. At their level, unless it's gentian and phoenix liver, ordinary ingredients have little effect on them.
Chen Yunhao was in the restaurant mainly to gather information. He quietly drank his spiritual wine and listened to the conversations of the cultivators around him.
Although Dongyun City was just a temporary transit point for him, if he wanted to integrate into the entire Immortal Realm, he had to absorb all kinds of information.
The people sitting in the restaurant were mostly friends and acquaintances, whose cultivation levels weren't particularly high.
The one with the highest cultivation level was only at the Nascent Soul stage, and most of the conversation was about things in the Great Mi Mountains.
For example, news such as where a great demon has appeared, where a great treasure has been discovered, or which immortal has perished in the mountains.
These messages were of little value to Chen Yunhao. His most important purpose in coming here, besides gathering information, was to see if he could encounter any other immortals.
After sitting in the restaurant for half a day without any immortals entering, Chen Yunhao decided to find an inn to stay in, rest for a few days, gather some information, and then decide on his next plan.
Just as he stepped out of the restaurant, a cultivator slowly walked past him.
The cultivator turned back and smiled at him, nodding. He was an immortal with the cultivation level of a terrestrial immortal.
"Fellow Daoist, please take care."
This was a rare opportunity. Chen Yunhao had only met two immortals since ascending to the Immortal Realm, and this was the third. Naturally, he didn't want to miss such a chance.
"Fellow Daoist, what brings you here?"
The middle-aged cultivator, who had already walked a few steps away, stopped and turned around to ask.
"Fellow Daoist, please forgive me. I am new to Dongyun City and unfamiliar with this place. I would like to ask you a few questions. Would it be convenient for you?"
"Fellow Daoist, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. I'm also new to Dongyun City and am on my way to the Dami Mountains to find a spiritual material. I'm not familiar with this place either."
The middle-aged cultivator smiled and shook his head.
"May I ask which immortal city or sect you are from?"
Chen Yunhao's words were somewhat abrupt. They were just passersby, and it was indeed inappropriate for him to inquire about the other party's background.
But Chen Yunhao had no choice. He had encountered far too few immortals, and now that he had finally caught one, he naturally wanted to do everything he could to obtain useful information.
"Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
The middle-aged cultivator's face darkened, and he let out a cold snort.
"Fellow Daoist, please don't misunderstand. I just want to find an immortal city that is larger than Dongyun City. I would like to ask you for some guidance, or perhaps I can buy a map from you."
"Fellow Daoist, you come from the North...!"
The middle-aged cultivator looked Chen Yunhao up and down, and seemed to understand something. He smiled faintly and asked.
Upon seeing this, Chen Wenhao's heart stirred.
"Indeed, I come from north of the Xiaomi Mountains, a place that is far too barren...!"
"I understand, people naturally strive for better things..."
In the eyes of this middle-aged cultivator, the area north of the Xiaomi Mountains was a truly impoverished and desolate place.
"I suppose you don't have anything good to offer either. Fine, I'll give you this map."
The middle-aged cultivator smiled faintly again, convinced that Chen Yunhao was just a country bumpkin. It was already quite an achievement for him to cultivate to immortality in such a place, so he probably didn't have anything good and might even be penniless.
"Thank you, fellow Daoist!!"
Zhang Yunhao could see a hint of disdain in the cultivator's eyes, but so what? He had gotten the map he wanted, and that was enough.
Maps can be copied infinitely at almost no cost. For a celestial being of such high status, giving them away is no big deal.
Watching the cultivator walk away, Chen Yunhao turned around and entered a nearby inn.
I bought a lot of books in the city; I need to digest them first.
He currently has no clear goal and always needs to gain a thorough understanding of the northern border of Yunhuang before deciding on his next move.
He can't leave the northern border of Yunhuang for the time being. Since he can't leave, he has to find a place to settle down. Anyway, none of the places he's been to are suitable.
This is one of the main reasons why he tries to collect maps as much as possible; ideally, he could find a place where a large number of immortals gather and where he can help him leave the northern border of Yunhuang.
