Chapter 941 - Most Powerful Individual Under Heavenly Lord Realm (1/2)
A comparison between the Reincarnation Heavenly Region and the Beihuang Region was the same as that of a second tier city in China and a metropolis such as Shanghai.
Mighty cities had been erected all over the land, some were a few hundred square kilometers in size, some boasted tall city walls, and some had been set where gathering nodes of Spirit Qi were found.
The traffic was busy in this region and the roads were filled with Golden Core Cultivators.
Underneath the ground, individuals with Spirit Vision would find countless Spirit Veins spread underground like a web. They were as important to the cities as blood veins would to the human body.
“Incredible! Every city here is like the Royal city of Beihan Region,” Mu Hongti exclaimed.
The Beihan Region only had a city of a similar scale: the Royal city.
However, the Reincarnation Heavenly Region had more than a dozen.
The difference was indicative of the huge gap between the two regions.
The closer they were to the center of the Reincarnation Heavenly Region, the busier the traffic became. Their powerful mounts and luxurious vehicles made it apparent that those cultivators were from prestigious sects. Some even traveled with an extravagant procession consisting of a hundred servants. Many of the vehicles were Spirit Treasures, some were even of superior-grade.
Superior-grade Spirit Treasures were as rare as Heavenly Treasures.
Even powerful Beihan Families such as Zhao Juexian’s only had a couple of Superior-grade Spirit Treasures. Plus, flying Dharma Treasures were the rarest of all spirit treasures. A superior-grade flying vehicle was worth as much as a Quasi-Heavenly Treasure.
These luxury items were reserved only for the rich heirs of powerful sects, and most of them were only for show.
“What a waste of resources,” Lin Wuhua said with a furrowed brow.
The three girls had travelled a lot with Chen Fan, but they were still astonished by the opulence of the Reincarnation Heavenly Region.
Chen Fan’s plain carriage seemed out of place in such a river of luxury.
“Cultivation is not for the pursuit of vanity, it’s for seeking truth and immortality. What’s the use of flaunting these trinkets?”
Chen Fan shook his head.
Chen Fan had already spotted the rotten bones underneath that luxurious skin.
Planet Tianhuang had not seen war for many years, and was isolated from other cultivation realms. Peaceful living had lulled the cultivators into a false sense of security, where it became a breeding ground for vanity and narcissism. The Beihuang Region was on the desolate barren ground, so it didn’t have as bad of a problem. However, the Reincarnation Heavenly Region was near the heart of Tianhuang; self indulgence and debauchery ran rampant there.
Chen Fan ignored the pitying and contemptuous looks around him and said, “Let’s visit Tianyuan City first.”
Tianyuan City to the Reincarnation Heavenly Region was the same as the City of Fallen Stars to the Beihuang Region. It was the center of the region.
The most powerful sect in the Reincarnation Heavenly Region, Mount Reincarnation was located there.
Mount Reincarnation was over a hundred thousand years old, and was one of the mightest sects in Tianhuang. The w.a.n.g Family or the Heavenly Swords Sect simply couldn’t compare.
One example to prove its mighty presence was the fact that the Reincarnation Sect had a Heavenly Lord for each generation. This achievement alone could put ninety percent of the other factions to shame.
Other than Mount Emperor and the nine other sects in the Ten Major Heavenly Regions, no one else could claim such a feat.
“It’s such a prosperous city!”
The three girls were astounded by what they saw when they arrived in the city.
Tianyuan City was a few times larger than the City of Fallen Stars and it had over tens of millions of residents, all of them cultivators. Spirit Qi was abundant in the city, and it even formed Spirit Mist in some areas.
Most of the residences were at the Connate Spirit Level or above. Golden Core Cultivators were a common sight in the streets.
“Master, Tianyuan City has been lauded as the City of Immortal Cultivation. Legend says that it was built on top of large Spirit Veins with a Spirit Qi so dense that it would elevate a mortal into the realm of cultivation in ten years,” Zhao Juexian said, bowing. He was wearing his usual black outfit.
He continued, “The favorable environment had attracted cultivators from places as far as the Barren Regions. Not only could they enjoy the abundant Spirit Qi, but also join the powerful Reincarnation Sect, so many hoped to become disciples.
“However, the Reincarnation Sect has the most stringent requirement for accepting disciples. Any disciples who fail to form a level four Golden Core are expelled from the sect.”
“What?”
The three girls were shocked.
Level four Golden Cores were rare even among the members of a Heavenly Lord Family. Lin Wuhua was only level five. It was just another telltale sign of the sect’s power.
Someone as talented as Lin Wuhua would be among the sect’s least favorite disciples.
However, Chen Fan was unaffected by what he heard.
Deep in the universe, many Immortal Sects would outright forbid disciples from reaching the Golden Core if they didn’t have what it took to attain the Superior-grade. The Divine sects in the sacred land had even more stringent requirements than Immortal Sects. Those sects were filled to the brim with powerful Grand Cultivators.
However, such power was beyond the comprehension of Zhao Juexian and the three girls.
Tianyuan City was ma.s.sive.
They found a place to stay for the night before they headed out to search for Xiao Mang.
