Chapter 1073: South Huai City (1/2)

Since he knew there was a Nine Petals Spiritual Lightning Lotus on an island close to Green Cloud Island, Huang Xiaolong had to make a trip to this Dralion Island no matter what.

The next morning, Huang Xiaolong left the Celestial Immortal Manor together with the little cow, catching a ride on the Barbarian God City’s flying ship, departing for the Dralion Island.

However, the flying ship’s passage ended at the southernmost point of Green Cloud Island, in a city called South Huai City. From there, passengers bound for Dralion Island would either take another flying ship or opt for the slower sea route ship.

Although the flying ship traveled fast, it would still take more than a month’s time to reach its destination. Like so, one person and one cow finally arrived at the southernmost city of Green Cloud Island, the South Huai City.

Due to the city’s location being next to the Endless Sea, it was an important crossing point toward Dralion Island, Perennial Temple Island, and several other nearby islands, contributing to the city’s prosperity, becoming one of the biggest cities on Green Cloud Island.

In this South Huai City, other than the Green Cloud Island’s Barbarian God Sect, Great Whale Sect, Elephant Genesis Sect, and some prominent families’ branches, there were also sect branches from the Dralion Island, Perennial Temple Island, and others.

Despite knowing that South Huai City was one of the biggest cities on Green Cloud Island, Huang Xiaolong couldn’t help feeling amazed as he stood on one of the main streets, looking at the city built between two mountains.

The city walls were extending out as if they were a part of the two mountains, reaching an astonishing height of one thousand zhang. The several hundred zhang wide grand city gates stood at the center, joining the ends of both walls.

Above the city gates was inscribed an ancient divine formation.

As Huang Xiaolong alighted the flying ship after it docked at the ship terminal, there were several other flying ships coming from different directions, landing in an orderly manner. Other than the common flying ships, there were also a few large luxurious carriages around.

They were pulled by divine beasts that had a shred of ancient divine beast bloodline, and on top of that, the bodies of these carriages were inscribed with powerful wind element divine formations, thus their speed wasn't much lower than flying ships.

However, these large carriages were mostly owned by the surrounding islands’ big trading firms. The cost of building one could easily exceed a billion shenbi.

Huang Xiaolong pulled his attention back to the present. Leaping onto the little cow’s back, the two headed toward the city gates. He could feel that his breakthrough to Fifth Order Heavenly God Realm was extremely close, most likely in the next few days, therefore, he decided to stay for a few days at South Huai City. He would head to Dralion Island after breaking that.

Huang Xiaolong paid ten thousand shenbi and entered the city.

As an important port, there were various kinds of cultivators coming and going through the South Huai City, with just as many types of beast mounts, which this made the little cow more inconspicuous than usual.

As Huang Xiaolong watched cultivators in various styles of attires riding on many different kinds of beast mounts passing him by, he felt the immensity of the Divine World for the first time.

Green Cloud Island was just one of many small islands in the Vientiane World, and a mere coastal city on Green Cloud Island was already this prosperous, he couldn't begin to imagine the scenes he would come across at the Fortune Mainland.

As one of the Green Cloud Island’s most prominent sects, the Barbarian God Sect branch of an important city like the South Huai City naturally wasn't weak, handling over a few hundred restaurants, weapon forging shops, and medicinal stores.

With Huang Xiaolong’s status in the sect, the Elder overseer would naturally arrange a superior courtyard for him.

The Barbarian God Sect branch of South Huai City was easy to find, located right at the center of the city. Roughly two hours later, Huang Xiaolong arrived at the branch’s doorstep.

“This young master, may I ask what purpose you have coming to our Barbarian God Sect South Huai City branch?” A Barbarian God Sect disciple approached when he saw Huang Xiaolong walked in.

Because Huang Xiaolong wasn't wearing his core disciple robe, coupled with the fact that disciples of the South Huai City branch rarely returned to the sect, this disciple did not recognize him.

Huang Xiaolong didn't mind the disciple’s question, taking out his sect identity token and handing it to the disciple.
