Chapter 719: Qianxing (Part 1)

Standing on a lush green hillside, Wang Chen gazed into the distance at the city.

After defeating several robbers who had tried to block his path, he couldn’t suppress his curiosity and turned back toward Yongle Immortal City.

However, Wang Chen had no intention of entering the city; he simply wanted to take one last look as a farewell.

He never expected that in just a few days, the seemingly indestructible Yongle Immortal City had fallen into new hands.

The power of the Yishan Sect was truly fearsome.

Wang Chen felt a pang of regret. Having faked his death and remained underground, he had missed the most intense and thrilling battle for the city.

He had also missed the Yuan Ying showdown between the two sides!

But regret aside, if given the chance to do it all over again, Wang Chen would prefer to stay far away, avoiding any involvement in the conflict.

Now, Yongle Immortal City had transformed into a completely different place.

Though the dragon tortoise that bore the immortal city still lay on the ground, its neck, limbs, and tail were tightly bound by countless thick roots, rendering it completely immobile.

These deep brown roots sprouted densely upward, weaving through the streets and alleys above the turtle’s back, eventually converging beneath a towering tree.

Fusang wood!

This ancient divine tree supported a massive canopy, completely enveloping the entire immortal city.

It was clear that this Fusang wood could not be the main mother tree; at most, it was a descendant from a branch. Yet, the spectacle it presented was enough to leave anyone in awe!

Even from dozens of miles away, Wang Chen could clearly sense the aura it radiated.

Taking a deep breath, Wang Chen turned to leave.

Just then, he suddenly felt a strange sensation and instinctively looked up at the sky.

Above, a large flying ship pierced through the clouds, heading straight toward the former Yongle, now Fangshan Immortal City, at high speed.

The midday sun glinted off the hull, reflecting the metallic sheen.

A distinctive emblem of a white twin lotus stood out prominently.

Hehuan Sect!

At the sight of this, Wang Chen’s heart tightened.

Though he had never visited a brothel, he recognized the emblem of the Hehuan Sect from hearsay.

His instincts told him that the fall of Yongle Immortal City was likely connected to the Hehuan Sect. Though this peculiar immortal sect remained behind the scenes, it had undoubtedly played a significant role.

Wang Chen thought of Yu Fei, and his eyelids twitched involuntarily.

Yishan Sect, Hehuan Sect, the destined star descends, bringing glory to the king!

Wang Chen shook his head, unwilling to dwell on it—what did these matters have to do with him?

He averted his gaze and activated his movement techniques, swiftly flying off in the opposite direction.

In the blink of an eye, he vanished into the vast wilderness.

Over the next few days, Wang Chen traveled day and night, eventually arriving at another immortal city thousands of miles away.

Qianxing Immortal City!

At the first sight of Qianxing Immortal City, Wang Chen, the "country bumpkin," was utterly astounded.

When he first arrived at Yongle Immortal City, he had been amazed by its grandeur, beauty, and wonder.

But compared to Qianxing Immortal City, it was like a small witch meeting the Great Witches!

Like Yongle Immortal City, Qianxing Immortal City was also built upon a dragon tortoise.

However, the dragon tortoise that bore this immortal city was not only several times larger but also stood tall instead of lying flat on the ground.

Its four limbs rose like colossal pillars against the boundless plains, its head held high and eyes closed, resembling a statue frozen in time.

Mist swirled around the turtle’s body, and a wide river rushed beneath its belly, with countless houses and docks lining both banks.

Countless sails raced across the river’s surface, with large ships and small boats flowing continuously, creating an incredibly vibrant scene.

Upstream and downstream of the river, numerous spirit fields, orchards, mulberry farms, pastures, and farms were scattered about…

But these were merely the views beneath Qianxing Immortal City.

The true Qianxing Immortal City stood atop the turtle’s back, over a hundred feet high, with tall buildings and palatial towers arranged in an orderly fashion. Countless artificial mountains, strange rocks, and waterfalls adorned the landscape, while green trees scattered like stars, creating a beauty beyond imagination!

Not only that, but the city was surrounded by numerous docks, with flying ships taking off and landing every moment, resembling the cosmic spaceports from science fiction movies Wang Chen had seen in his past life.

Above the city, aside from the soaring flying ships, there were dazzling streaks of light.

Those were cultivators flying on swords or riding various objects!

The splendor of Qianxing was truly unparalleled.

Compared to it, Yongle Immortal City fell far short.

Was this the charm of a Di-level immortal city?

Wang Chen couldn’t imagine what a Tian-level immortal city would look like!

Taking a deep breath, he continued forward.

On his previous journey of thousands of miles, Wang Chen had rushed the entire way without using a flying ship or sword flight.

Now that his destination was in sight, he became even more cautious, not yet understanding the rules.

Wang Chen’s footsteps finally stopped in a small town located by the main road.

This town was called Yingxian Town and marked the end of the main road heading west toward Qianxing Immortal City, situated right beneath the front left foot of the dragon tortoise.

Don’t let its small size fool you; it was incredibly prosperous.

The town was filled with traveling merchants and loose cultivators coming from all directions. Many people, like Wang Chen, were newcomers who, not knowing how to enter the city, temporarily took refuge in the small town to gather information.

"Honorable Higher Steward, is there anything you need?"

As soon as Wang Chen stepped into Yingxian Town, he was immediately noticed.

A young boy quickly darted out of the crowd, blocking his path, and greeted him with a bright smile, "I’m a local of Yingxian Town. If you want to know anything or buy something, I can help you!"

Wang Chen smiled and asked, "Can you really buy anything?"

The boy, appearing to be around thirteen or fourteen years old and a fifth-level Qi Trainer, looked quite clever and handsome.

Finding him amusing, Wang Chen asked for his name.

"Pei Yan."

The boy puffed out his chest and replied, "Rest assured, as long as you have enough spirit stones, there’s nothing you can’t buy in Qianxing City!"

He emphasized, "As long as you have spirit stones!"

Wang Chen laughed heartily and tossed him a spirit fragment, saying, "We’ll see about that; first, take me to find a place to stay."

"Sure thing!"

Pei Yan skillfully accepted the spirit fragment and swiftly moved ahead, saying, "Please follow me, Honorable Higher Steward."

Wang Chen followed him into the town, passing by several inns, and finally arrived in front of a two-story building.

Similar buildings filled Yingxian Town, occupying most of the land.

"Ziling, open the door quickly!"

Pei Yan knocked forcefully on the closed door and called out, "I’ve brought a guest for you!"

Hmm?

Wang Chen found this a bit strange.
