“Brother Flying Snow, the most essential towards survival in this Sacred World is food.” God Eagle Snake sighed, “Without sufficient food, all of us might die of hunger! Hence, how much food we have determines how long we can live for.”
“Food is equivalent to life!” Scarlet Demon nodded with a sigh, “Ever since I was I born, I have never experienced what being hungry is. I had already jumped out of the River of Time when I was born. Hence, my life is eternal. Who would have thought that during my journey of cultivation, I ended up becoming one of the three Great Emperors across many clans back in my world––absolutely an unparalleled existence. But as my days were too lonely and mundane, coupled with a strong desire to jump out of the cage… that pushed me to head towards this forbidden ground. And the first thing I experience after reaching here is an intense hunger! I have never experienced this before ever since I was born. And now, my life is determined by food. Without food meant death for me.”
As Xue Ying listened, he gradually understood how vital food was.
If he wanted to meditate?
Enter closed-door cultivation for 100 billion years? If he wished to do so in this Sacred World, he first had to prepare sufficient food for him to last through the period!
“And because of the need for food, we have to leave the city and hunt for food. Even though we might be vigilant and careful, there are still occasional deaths.” God Eagle Snake said.
“Indeed, it is not easy to get food.” Lightning Xiao murmured.
“You shut up!” Scarlet Demon and God Eagle Snake exclaimed almost at the same time.
Lightning Xiao chuckled. He brought up his cup of wine and continued drinking. Apparently, he chose not to speak anymore.
“It is not easy to harvest food in this world––that statement applies to the majority of experts within the city. But to Lightning Xiao… you are still lacking food?” God Eagle Snake sneered. Scarlet Demon explained to Xue Ying who did not know what was happening: “Brother Flying Snow, you do not know that it is impossible for one to penetrate through the void in this world. We can only fly! And every time we leave the city to hunt for food or to save someone… speed is essential. Lightning Xiao is the second fastest person in the entire Scarlet Cloud City! Even the three City Masters can’t fly faster than he. With such a frightening speed, many teams that chose to leave the city would frequently seek Lightning Xiao for his help. He would occasionally choose to go out and render his help to other team, using his speed to ferry the group of cultivators or to escape. Either way, he would earn plenty of meat from this service!”
Lightning Xiao murmured: “Since I am saving the lives of everyone, I should naturally be given a larger share.”
“Saving the lives of everyone? Most teams can’t pay you for your service. Usually, it’s the teams led by the three City Masters that you gladly provide your service for.” Scarlet Demon curled his lips.
“You guys are simply jealous of me.” Lightning Xiao continued drinking with a grin.
God Eagle Snake continued speaking to Xue Ying: “Brother Flying Snow, approximately more than 80% of the cultivators in Scarlet Cloud City are Grand Perfection God Emperors! And the remaining 20% are Late Stage God Emperors. This is as most cultivators who come here are overlords back in their home worlds. Even though few come from each world, this number would still add up over the years. There have been several cultivators who fell in Scarlet Cloud City, yet we still have a total of 3,000 over cultivators.”
Xue Ying was speechless when he heard that.
He could understand the rationale though.
Just a single Lightning World had more than 30 Grand Perfection God Emperors. There were even experts like Cloud Phoenix City Master who were much stronger than most Grand Perfection God Emperors.
“Within Scarlet Cloud City, there are even several cultivators much stronger than most Grand Perfection God Emperors, and the three unparalleled City Masters.” God Eagle Snake said, “We are experts that came from different worlds, yet the three City Masters are the most dazzling amongst us all.”
“The three City Masters? How strong are they?” Xue Ying felt curious.
“The three City Masters––one City Master and two Vice-City Masters––are comparable in strength.” God Eagle Snake sighed, “The City Master ‘Weather Leaf’ is also a Dao Cultivator. As Dao Cultivators do not have any Chaotic Origin Bloodlines, they purely cultivate the Dao. It is hard for them to improve in strength, yet Dao Cultivators are usually much stronger and have better control of their strength than many others. Most Dao Cultivators could fight against those of a higher level.”
Xue Ying nodded when he heard that.
Dao Cultivators should be similar to Ascendants in the Lightning World. They were like he who comprehended the laws and profound mysteries.
“The City Master has not only refined a Half-Chaotic Origin Lifeform Body, he has even promoted his ‘Sword Dao’ to the Half-Chaotic Origin Level.” God Eagle Snake said, “Cultivating Dao and to advance two Daos to the Half-Chaotic Origin Level. There is only one such cultivator in the entire Sacred World! And he is in our Scarlet Cloud City.”
Xue Ying was speechless when he heard that.
Half-Chaotic Origin Level.
Xue Ying’s Dao of Void had yet to reach the Half-Chaotic Origin Level. He was lacking just by one step. One had to know that Dao Cultivators could fight with those on a higher level. According to the saying in Lightning World, ‘Grand Perfection Ascendant God Emperors’ were absolutely stronger than most Grand Perfection God Emperors. His strength would likely be much stronger than Cloud Phoenix City Master.
