Chapter 221: Chapter 122: A Country Called Daqi

The Mountain Sea Realm contains Five Domains and one hundred thousand Small Human Worlds.

At this moment, in the Daqi Country of the Eastern Domain, a Celestial Gate connected to one of the Small Human Worlds was slowly opening.

A Flying Vessel slowly descended.

It carried the Immortal Seekers traveling between this Small Human World and the Mountain Sea Realm.

"Pay up."

"The toll is ten Spirit Stones."

First-Grade Cultivators in armor swaggered over, shouting boisterously.

On the Flying Vessel, the various Innate Realm experts and the elders escorting the clan youths who possessed Spiritual Roots all handed over ten Spirit Stones, each shimmering with an azure halo.

There was but one exception.

He was dressed in a Profound Robe adorned with Dragon Patterns and carried a Sword Box on his back. With his handsome features and immortal-like bearing, he stood out.

However, at that moment, this immortal-like youth touched his Storage Ring. It was filled with rare treasures, but he hadn’t thought to prepare any Spirit Stones.

’So they collect Spirit Stones when the Flying Vessel lands...’

The things were useless in the Palm of the Human World; Su Chen had just used them to enrich his soil.

He had transformed into a Void Demon Whale to bypass the Celestial War Battlefield, randomly chosen a Small Human World to enter, and then blended in with the passengers on a Flying Vessel bound for the Mountain Sea Realm.

Sometimes, even Nascent Soul Great Cultivators from the Five Great Sects of the Eastern Domain would fall, their bodies transforming into Small Human Worlds.

Unlike other Small Human Worlds, the Five Great Sects would actively maintain the realms created by their ancestors, preventing their remnant wills from dissipating and Merging with the fabric of the Mountain Sea Realm.

Every ten years, a Flying Vessel would descend into the Small Human Worlds belonging to their respective sect ancestors, selecting youths with Spiritual Roots to be brought into the Sect as new blood.

The Innate Realm experts from these Small Human Worlds could also pay a fee of Spirit Stones to board the Flying Vessel and enter the Mountain Sea Realm.

"Who is this person?"

"His bearing is so otherworldly. Could he be a chosen seed with a Spiritual Root from some major clan?"

"How come I’ve never seen him before!"

"Wait, no!"

"He’s a stowaway."

Murmurs spread among the people on the Flying Vessel.

"Daring to stow away?"

"He looks like he has some cultivation base. First Grade? No, wait, maybe he’s in the Acquired Realm..."

At this, on the Reception Platform, the eyes of the Daqi soldiers turned dangerous.

One commander even reached for a signal flare to summon the resident Immortal Master from the Profound Celestial Sect to handle the matter.

Just then,

a chubby youth on the Flying Vessel, his eyes flashing, quickly trotted forward. He handed over ten Spirit Stones, yelling,

"Hold on!"

"It’s a misunderstanding!"

"You’ve all misunderstood! This is a guard my elders found for me. We just had a small disagreement, and I wanted to teach him a little lesson, that’s all. It’s not something we need to bother the Immortal Master over..."

"Ha! You really think a guard of my Wu Family could be some stowaway Extreme Cultivation Demon...?"

The chubby youth then furtively slipped another ten Spirit Stones to the Daqi soldiers.

And so, Su Chen was allowed to pass.

The Daqi Imperial City was a magnificent, bustling metropolis, stretching on for hundreds of miles.

Overhead, Immortal Masters and Innate Great Cultivators flew past, riding on their swords.

’This is the Mountain Sea Realm, after all.’

’With every single breath, a massive amount of Spiritual Qi floods into the body.’

’If the prodigies from the Palm of the Human World were born here in the Mountain Sea Realm, they would all be like dragons among men. Their achievements would surely reach a whole new level...’

Su Chen strolled down the street, examining with great interest the notices posted along the walls.

They were all wanted posters.

All of them were for Extreme Cultivators! Even suspected cases were to be killed on sight, hunted throughout the land.

On one of them, Su Chen saw a familiar face.

’It’s him...’

’But... wasn’t he the Daoist of a Sect?’

In the portrait, the man wore black robes, his hair flew wildly, and his sharp eyes held an indescribable Killing Intent and madness.

It was none other than the Qi Cultivation Golden Robe with whom he had clashed at the Immortal Pavilion.

A Thunder Spirit Mark he had left behind still remained on Su Chen’s palm!

His name was Gushan Jue.

He once had a limitless future as the Xuantian Daoist. How, in just eleven short years, had he become an Extreme Realm Immortal who betrayed the Profound Celestial Sect?

’Could something have happened to Void?’

Su Chen stopped in his tracks, a ripple of emotion crossing his eyes.

Behind him, the chubby, aristocratic-looking youth who had gotten Su Chen out of trouble finally found his opportunity. He hurried over, fixed his gaze on Su Chen, and said,

"Stowaway, I just saved your life. You realize that, right?"

"They might overlook a young stowaway with a Spiritual Root, but any Cultivation Powerhouse who tries to sneak in is immediately targeted for elimination as an Extreme Cultivator. If it wasn’t for me, you would have been killed by the Foundation Establishment expert guarding the platform!"

Su Chen paid him no mind.

His gaze drifted, scanning the Daqi Imperial City. He saw countless Longevity Fires, much like in the Palm of the Human World. Everyone in sight had a lifespan of about a hundred years.

Even someone as powerful as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator lived for no more than one hundred and fifty years.

"Now it’s your turn to repay the favor."

"You must be pretty strong to have snuck onto that Flying Vessel. You’re at least an Acquired Realm Master, right?"

"All you have to do is escort me to the Daqian Imperial Palace."

"And I’ll keep the fact that you’re a stowaway buried deep in my heart."

The chubby youth chattered on.

As the Daqi Crown Prince, he had merely gone to the Yunxiao Small Human World to search for a particular Spirit Medicine, but he had ended up suffering seven waves of assassination attempts. Even the loyal leader of his Hidden Guard had perished there.

In the end, he was forced to use a Secret Skill to change his appearance just to dare board the Flying Vessel.

Now, even though he had entered the Imperial City, he could feel killing intent on all sides.

No matter what, he had to secure some means of protecting himself.

This was precisely why he had spoken up to help Su Chen on the Reception Platform.

"I don’t need your help."

"I would have fought my way out regardless," Su Chen stated calmly.

In this Daqi Imperial City, the strongest powerhouse was the Profound Celestial Immortal Master who oversaw the mortal world, a master of the Foundation Establishment Great Realm. The rest were all in the Innate Realm. All of them together wouldn’t be enough to survive a single slash of his sword.

"Hah!"

"Keep on boasting."

"Anyone who didn’t know better would think you’ve reached the Nine Innate Life-taking Times."

"From what I can tell, you’re an Acquired Grandmaster at most! I don’t care. You owe me a favor, and you’re going to repay it."
