Vol 29 Chapter 30 (1/2)
Book 29, Daolord, Chapter 30 – Ji Ning’s Goal
The gates of the Sacred City were towering and dazzling to behold Ji Ning’s group of three flew straight towards the gates In truth, Skywood City had no walls at all, and so there was no real reason to go through the gates However, this was the first tiroup had ever come to a Sacred City, and they needed to procure a Dao Alliance talisman Otherwise, they wouldn’t be considered true members of the Dao Alliance and would be forbidden entry into many places within the Sacred Cities
“Fellow Daoists” There was an unprepossessing little pavilion right outside the doors, and a black-robed woman immediately walked out of it with a smile on her face
“This is our first trip to the Sacred City We would like to pick up a Dao Alliance talis said The black-robed woman before him had a very weak aura; most likely, she had relied on a Pseudo Sah to becoenerally be given fairly anizations and sects
“Oh, a Dao Alliance talis into the pavilion Within were a number of white-robedfrom their auras, they were at most at the World level
“Where have the three of you coistered with the Dao Alliance?” The black-robed woman asked
“I a his Vastheaven Palace medallion The black-robed nodded, then waved her hand and produced a little book She flipped through the book, quickly verifying some information about Daolord Darknorth of Vastheaven Palace
“Fellow Daoist Darknorth of Vastheaven Palace, here is your Dao Alliance talisman” The black-robed wo, with the talis the word ‘Dao’ atop it It was covered in divine runes that seemed quite mysterious and which ensured the talis it to him
“Are these two registered with us already as well?” The black-robed wo shook his head and replied, “They are not These two are my retainers”
“Retainers?” The black-robed wo with surprise He had two Daolords as retainers? It see Daolord Darknorth was actually quite an extraordinary figure! They naturally knew nothing of Ning’s battle against Patriarch Clearwind, as neither Vastheaven Palace nor Clearwind Temple had publicized that battle As a result, very fe about it
“If you aren’t already registered with the Dao Alliance, things will be slightly more complicated,” the black-robed woman said “Please follow me We need to take some steps to ensure that no spies are able to make their way into the Dao Alliance”
“I understand” Su Youji smiled She and Pillsaint both obediently followed after the black-robed wo here what the rules would be
Ning’s history was very clean, and Vastheaven Palace had already vouched for him As a result, he was easily able to acquire a Dao Alliance talised as a forures without any backers, they would need to be investigated and swear certain lifeblood oaths to prove their ‘innocence’ before they would be given a Dao Alliance talisman
A short while later, a white-robed elder led Ning’s group of three away froh the clouds, and the white-robed man smiled at them “Seniors, this is your first trip to a Sacred City, so I will explain a bit regarding the rules here There are restrictive wards and barriers surrounding all of the palaces and estates inside the Sacred City, and you are forbidden froe in violence, you shall perish and your Dao shall vanish”
Ning and the others simply listened These were iron rules which no one could breach This was one of the eight Sacred Cities of the Dao Alliance, after all; no one could violate these rules, unless they had the power to challenge the entire Dao Alliance and live to tell the tale
“Once you leave the protective wards around those various palaces and estates, no one will get involved no matter how violent the battle becomes” The white-robed elder chuckled “For exaht now This airspace is not covered by the barriers or wards of any estate, and so we could theoretically be attacked at any moment”
“How chaotic,” Pillsaint sighed
“It is a bit chaotic Wherever there are cultivators, there will always be chaos,” the white-robed elder said “Also – please remember this, seniors In Skywood City, the disciples of the Skywood Sect are not to be trifled with, not even the True Gods or Elder Gods If you kill a member of the Skywood Sect, then you will also be put to death and your Dao shall vanished”
Su Youji asked, “How can we tell if sos to the Skywood Sect?”
“That’s very easy” The white-robed elder smiled “Members of the Skywood Sect are all dressed in unique robes that emanate the unique aura of the Skywood tree If for so their robes and they end up being killed, their killers won’t be blamed”
Ning and the others nodded The Skywood tree was the sacred tree that stood guard over the entire Skywood Sect It served as the foundation for the entire sect! Ning and the others were now able notice that there was indeed a unique, ancient, and eternal aura radiating from the robes of the Skywood Sect disciples they had nizable
“Let me tell you a bit more about the important places within Skywood City Those hundred thousand-plus estates hovering in the air over there all for cultivators to dwell in They belong to our Skywood Sect, and the three of you can spend a bit of chaos nectar if you wish to temporarily take up residence in one of them It’ll be fine even if you want to stay for a hundred chaos cycles; all you need to do is pay a bit of rent in the form of chaos nectar No one will ever dare to disturb you” The white-robed elder pointed off into the distance, where there was a group of ancient palaces that radiated ion over there is where our Skywood Sect is located, and the Eternal Emperor resides there as well No matter what, you must not trespass there”
