Chapter 3151: A City (Revision)
s true motive lay in seeking protection from the Dao Tribulation.Of course, he hoped that Jiang Yun would continue to attack him recklessly, so that they could both bear the brunt of this tribulation...Naturally, they looked at Jiang Yun's tattered armor as the guards at the lower realms of the Heavenly Gate had looked upon Ji Kongfan's dagger. They, who had just taunted him mercilessly, now coveted his armor. Though they didn't know it was transformed from Shi Zuo, they could clearly see that Jiang Yun had passed through twelve layers of light nets without using even a shred of his own power, relying solely on the armor's defensive capabilities to make his way through.
Especially Tono, was very aware of the power of this twelve-layered light grid.
That was brought from the Eight-Parts Heaven by himself, specifically for testing the Eight-Parts Heaven's people.
And even within the Eight Departments of Heaven, not every member, even those at the level of Reverse Heaven Realm, would dare to say they could all successfully pass through the twelve layers of the Light Net.
However, now, a lower realm cultivator, relying on a tattered piece of armor, effortlessly passed through all the light networks. This naturally aroused his covetous desire for that armor! Tianye retracted the light in his eyes and said to Dong Chengji: "I didn't expect us both to have overlooked this. Go, investigate the origins of this lower realm cultivator for me!"
Hearing Amano's words, the faces of the others instantly contorted into wry smiles. They all knew in their hearts that Amano had also set his sights on that piece of armor.
While they themselves were in no way able to compete with him, which meant that this armor would inevitably belong to Amano.
Although Dong Chengji was somewhat disappointed, he secretly rejoiced that this lower realm cultivator had caught Tianye's attention instead of losing his armor.
Dong Chengji bowed to Tianye and said, "Messenger sir, there's no need to inquire. We already have someone who knows the origins of this cultivator."
"Oh"
Tsunayoshi raised an eyebrow and said, "Who"
Dong Chengji pointed with his hand, his face pale as he said to Zino, "Her!"
Under the gaze of everyone, even though Purono didn't want to speak, he couldn't help but speak.
She whispered, "I don't actually know his background. I only know his name is Jiang Yun, and he's quite strong."
After a moment's pause, Zinuo summoned her courage and boldly said to Tianye: "Messenger, to be frank with you, this Jiangyun is a lower realm cultivator chosen by our sect."
What is your sect
Tenno frowned slightly and said, "Which sect are you from"
Zi Nuo said: "I am from the Dan Ling Sect!"
"Danlingzong"
Tenno had never heard of the name of this sect.
However, he also knew that the forces selecting cultivators at this level of the Heavenly Palace were all fringe sects, so he smiled faintly and said: "Rest assured, my Eight Departments Heaven wouldn't stoop to stealing your people!"
And, I can give you a chance.
If you can make this cultivator named Jiang Yun voluntarily offer his armor to me, then I guarantee he will pass this Heavenly Gate!
As the one in charge of Heaven's Gate, I do have the right to let a few cultivators pass through smoothly.
Upon hearing Tianye's words, Pino's eyes lit up at first, but she then shook her head and said, "I'm afraid I can't do it!"
If Ginger Cloud was truly wearing ordinary armor, then Zino would still try to persuade him.
That must be the spirit of the Shizhumu tribe. I believe that Jiang Yun, unless he is an idiot, would never offer his armor to Tianye.
Even if Jiang Yun was willing, the spirit of the Shizhao clan would probably not be willing! Tian Ye's smile vanished as he said, "If you can't do it, and want to pass through this Heavenly Gate, then it depends on Jiang Yun's good fortune!"
After that, Tianye ignored Zinō.
And Zi Nuo's heart had sunk to the bottom, knowing full well that Jiang Yun was truly in grave danger this time.
Even if he could have passed through the First Heavenly Gate with his own strength, it's impossible now.
Although Zino's heart was filled with resentment, he didn't dare say anything more. He could only silently calculate and consider whether to discuss it with Jiang Yun and see what would happen.
On the side, Dong Chengji was also somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected Tianye to offer such a promise to Zi Nuo.
Once Jiang Yun handed over his battle armor and passed through another Heavenly Gate, it was highly probable that he would be accepted as a disciple by the Danling Sect.
"Dong Chengji could only secretly say, 'I hope this kid doesn't hand it over. But if he really does hand it over, then I'll have to find a way to kill him!'"
Ginger Cloud never expected that he would become the target of powerful beings from the various celestial realms, a piece of fat for them to devour.
At this moment, he was curiously inspecting his surroundings.
He, having traversed twelve layers of light nets, had left the palace gates and stood abruptly within... a city! Yes, a city hidden within a celestial realm.
Looking up, the sky was a breathtaking sight of azure blue and fluffy white clouds. Though conjured by magic, they appeared incredibly real. Anyone with lesser cultivation would be none the wiser.
Before my eyes, the crimson path that cleaves the heavens still stands, though it is no longer paved with boundary stones.
Because Gingercloud clearly saw, on the ancient road, there were quite a few figures walking.
These figures are not cultivators from other realms.
Because their cultivation levels were generally low, and there were even mortals present! On both sides of the ancient path, there were rows upon rows of shops selling all sorts of goods.
Besides various resources specifically sold for cultivators, there are also goods available for mortals.
In essence, this city, like any other city existing in any region or world, is quite similar.
Were one to see this city, they would surely be bewildered, even doubting if they had somehow left the celestial realm.
But Jiang Yun had already learned from Shi Zuo's mouth that in every previous instance of the Yu Men opening, some cultivators, in order to survive, gave up their freedom and chose to remain within the First Heaven Que.
And they will marry and have children, propagating their lineage! It is evident that this city was built by those cultivators.
While they themselves were strong, they did not require their descendants to follow the path of cultivation.
Perhaps they don't want their experiences to happen to their descendants.
It's better to let one's descendants live an ordinary life, experiencing a short but peaceful existence.
"Could this city be the Twelfth Palace of the Heavenly Citadel"
I wonder if any other lower realm cultivators entered here before me.
As the thought of Ginger Cloud passed through his mind, Shi Zuo's voice immediately rang out: "This must be the deepest palace."
"Although I've heard about it, this is my first time here. Wow, it's really something else!"
Hearing Shizuna's voice, Ginger Cloud's smile on his face suddenly faded. He said coldly, "Shizuna, we are in a cooperative relationship. You are not my subordinate, and I am not your subordinate."
"What just happened, I don't want it to happen again. Otherwise, don't blame me for turning my back on you!"
Ginger Cloud naturally understood why Shi Zuo brought her through the twelve layers of light nets. However, showing themselves so openly and flamboyantly went against their usual style of operating.
Since he was already here, Jiang Yun couldn't do anything to Shizhao. However, he had to warn Shizhao that he absolutely could not let the same thing happen again.
Ishizuka also knew he was somewhat in the wrong, so he let out a dry laugh and said, "This isn't usual procedure, this isn't usual procedure!"
Ginger Cloud no longer paid him any mind. He lifted his foot, ready to take a good stroll through this palace city and see what was special about it, but two lights suddenly flared up beside him.
Huang Qiu Yan and Xia Mo, surprisingly, were also here! Looking at the two women, a glimmer of unnoticeable light flashed in Jiang Yun's eyes.
While Ishizaki made it through the twelve layers of light nets, these two women managed to pass as well with their own strength.
These two women, they are indeed not easy to deal with!
Ginger Cloud smiled faintly and said, "Congratulations to both of you!"
"Master Jiang!"
"Ginger brother!"
Hearing Ginger Cloud's voice, the two of them only then realized Ginger Cloud was there, and their faces lit up with excitement.
"Clang clang clang!"
Before the three could continue speaking, a series of melodious chimes suddenly rang out. Within the chimes, one could hear whispers carried on the sound.
Upon hearing the sound, the faces of the three people all paled slightly.
Because, this is clearly the sound of invitation!r, when her gaze fell upon Shi Yan in the distance, who stood silent like a volcano about to erupt, after a brief moment of contemplation, she suddenly spoke out in a clear voice: "Ye Younan, what qua...
