Chapter 844: Meteoric Spirit Stone (2/2)

Meng Taiyue followed his gaze and became startled. He transmitted a mental message: “The old man talking with him is the number one expert of Celestial Market, Celestial Enlightened Being, the strongest within a million miles. I’ve seen him from a distance long ago. This young noble’s background must be frightening. Don’t let him see us again, he only spared us because of the disparity in status but one word from that old man can kill us a thousand times.”

Celestial Enlightened Being was quite powerful; his aura far exceeded someone like the heretical king.

Feiyun was smart enough to lay low. This was no longer Jin. That young noble killed a first-level Nirvana cultivator from the Meng with one hand. Feiyun couldn’t take him on right now.

The young noble entered the yellow formation with four powerful old men behind him. The portal flashed and they disappeared from sight.

“The Meng are blind as bats, to actually offend her. I wonder how many gifts it’ll take to quell her anger.” Celestial Enlightened Being heaved a sigh of relief and stroked his beard while murmuring.

Having said that, he slowly became ethereal before dispersing from the air.

“That enlightened being is a big deal, the old men from our clan always greet him with reverence. Looks like the clan is in trouble.” Meng Taiyue said.

The two then entered the portal and left the market. It didn’t take long before they reached the capital, the most prosperous city in Season.

The moment Feiyun got out, he felt a massive power suppressing him. His weight became dozens of times heavier; his spirit energy became shackled.

Feiyun frowned, aware that it was a Meteoric Spirit Stone suppressing his cultivation.

Meteoric was ranked ninth among the stones. It came from outer space and was extremely rare. It possessed immense energy on top of being able to suppress cultivators. The ancient cities of the humans always prepared these stones.

There were two advantages in doing so.

First, Nirvana cultivators were too destructive. They could easily destroy a city. Suppressing their cultivation meant peace and safety. Thus, two Enlightened Beings in the city could fight without causing unreasonable damage.

Secondly, cultivation speed would actually increase under the stones’ limitations.

Meng Taiyue had a natural expression, clearly used to this suppression. It took a bit for Feiyun to get used to it.

“This gravity is strong. Anyone below first-level Heaven’s Mandate probably can’t stand up.” Feiyun said.

“This must be your first time visiting a domain city?” Taiyue was surprised.

“How do you know?” Feiyun asked.

“The first requirement of entering is first-level Heaven’s Mandate.”

“Ah.” Feiyun looked around and saw that everyone was indeed in this realm.

First and second-level Heaven’s Mandate cultivators could walk around normally. They would be considered powerful experts in Jin but here, this was the basic requirement for entering a big city.

This place wasn’t as majestic and grand as Feiyun’s imagination. However, the items and materials were extraordinary. Even the roof tiles of a regular house were made from spirit steel. Each wooden door had numerous formations.

They needed to be made from special materials in order to withstand the pressure found here. Thus, the place resembled a holy ground for cultivation.

Author’s note.

Many readers have questions about the Nirvana realm so here is a general summary:

The majority of experts in Jin are at the first level of Nirvana.

The King of Abnormality, Yang World First Venerable, White Skin Ghost King, and Monk Jiurou are weaker second-level cultivators.

The heretical king and the empress are the top second-level cultivators. After using the dao heart method and swallowing Godfiend, the empress has reached the third-level, albeit the weakest type.

Spirit Palace Lord is average among the third level. Sacred Palace Lord is at the peak of the third level.

Only those at the fourth level and up are real masters. Why? Because from the fourth level on, they were qualified to break through to Heaven’s Emergence. Because of this, they were few in numbers.
