Chapter 58 - Liang City (1/2)
After leaving Pang City, Yuan and Xiao Hua flew straight towards Liang City. However, because of Yuan's low cultivation base, they needed multiple breaks in between their journey.
”I am going to eat the Mountain Lord's monster core now,” Yuan suddenly said during their third break.
A few moments later, he popped the monster core into his mouth like a piece of candy before swallowing the sweetness.
Despite having so many techniques at hand, Yuan felt like he only had one or two from using the same technique over and over again. However, it was not as though there was any need for him to use the other techniques when Bloody Sword Strike is more than enough to handle most threats with ease.
”Are you okay, Brother Yuan?” Xiao Hua asked him in a worried tone after noticing that he had been staring at the empty air with a dazed face, worrying that he might have finally gone crazy from eating too many monster cores.
”Oh, I'm fine. I was just thinking about something,” he said a moment later.
”Anyway, let's continue our journey now that I am full of energy again.”
Xiao Hua nodded, and they returned to the sky shortly later.
”...”
”...”
”...”
”Do we need to rest again?” Xiao Hua asked him an hour later.
Yuan shook his head and spoke in a relaxed tone, ”No, I am still filled with energy. I cannot believe how much stronger I got just from one level.”
”The higher your cultivation, the more difference between each level.” Xiao Hua said to him.
After flying for another hour, Yuan was finally beginning to feel tired, so they rested for half an hour, and they continued this routine until they reached Liang City.
”Finally… I can finally see the city!” Yuan spoke with teary eyes when he saw the tall city walls in the distance. It has been over 12 hours since they left Pang City, and the entire journey was simply mentally exhausting for someone like Yuan who has never traveled such a long distance in one go before.
Sometime later, they descended near the entrance where there was a decently long queue of people waiting to get inside the city.
However, when the guards saw how Yuan and Xiao Hua appeared out of nowhere from the skies, they immediately ignored the people in the line and rushed towards them.
”Welcome to our Liang City, Senior Cultivators. If there's anything you need, please let us assist you.” The guards spoke after politely bowing to them.
”We're here for the Teleportation Device,” said Yuan. ”It's here, right?”
”That is correct. Our Liang City indeed has a Teleportation Device. However, it has a travel distance limit of 70,000 miles.”
