32 Paradise: 10 Day Trial Edition! (1/2)

Chapter 31: Paradise: 10 Day Trial Edition!

Van willed the display away and turned his attention to the two imposing guards in front of him. They were looking at him with strange expressions. Van started to smile wryly, he could guess what they were thinking of him at the moment.

”I apologize for that, Fellow Daoists! I just had a surprise mental transmission.”

The guards nodded slowly. Surprise mental transmissions were a rather valid excuse, the kid didn't seem mentally impaired. The guards looked middle-aged but were actually about 70. Their high cultivation bases allowed them to stretch their youth for longer.

”Please state your name and your reason for stay.”

”Van Nguyen. Reason for stay... I was teleported here through some strange ancient formation during a promotions test.”

The guards were shocked. They had heard that if anyone came through a certain ancient transmissions formation and had a certain spiritual imprint on them, that they were to be treated honorably for the 10 days that they stayed. The city lord of the Celestial Heavens City had owed a favor to one of the majestic cultivators that lived in the Red Rock Continent and decided to pay it back with the ancient formation, giving an opportunity for any of the cultivator's disciples to have an opportunity to improve themselves in a Celestial Paradise. The guards scanned Van with his divine sense, and unsurprisingly, found a spiritual imprint.

”Honored Guest, please follow me.”

The senior guard took the initiative to escort Van through the city. Van was in awe of the size and majesty of the city. Celestial Heavens City was about 20 times larger than Mulberry City and was extremely flashy. The road was made out of Spiritual Jade and every house was made out of valuable Spirit Materials.

”How much is it for a house in the city?!”

Van asked the guard, very interested. The guard had a strange look on his face.

This kid at the 10th Stage of Dantian Formation wanted to live here? Even King ranked cultivators could barely live in the apartments here.

The guard politely replied to Van's inquiry despite the obvious absurdity of the question.

”It would cost anywhere around 100 million low-grade spirit stones for private housing.”

Van's heart lurched when he heard the cost. He was already rather poor in his cultivator world. But in this Celestial city, he wouldn't even qualify to become a homeless person.

Van smiled wryly as he thought of how long it would take for him to amass such wealth. But he didn't let himself become discouraged for too long and continued following the guard through the streets of paradise.

Van saw street vendors with trinkets strewn across their tablecloths. Golden carriages drove back and forth through the city. It seemed like a normal city besides the fact that everyone was much stronger and wealthier than the elites of the cities on the Red Rock Continent.

The scene didn't disappoint Van's expectations. In fact, they had surprised his wildest dreams. He would never have dreamed he would come to a city where even Saint ranked experts were only uncommon.

Van's eyes started to shine. If he could find a strong master from this city, no one would dare offend him back in the Red Rock Continent! Van could already see the faces of his aunt and grandfather beaming with pride when he came back. He could get his master to save his grandfather!
