As Wei Suo and Ling Tian talked to each other through voice transmission, they flew past each other and soon disappeared into the snowy plains.
… ….
Several days later, Wei Suo, Ling Tian, and a pockmarked cultivator appeared outside of a city that was also covered in snow.
The golden-green armor that Dragon Jupiter wore actually had the defensive power of a middle grade Profound Rank martial artist. Furthermore, when the two wings on his back were activated, his speed of escape was thirty percent faster than the Piercing Sword Technique that Wei Suo had used at the moment. It was just that the Gold Essence Armour had already been collected by Wei Suo and Ling Long Tian, while the Dragon Jupiter had been restrained by Wei Suo to turn into a pock faced cultivator.
As for the black-robed, scholarly cultivator named Duan Wuya, he actually begged for mercy after Wei Suo had used the Yin Corpse Sect's technique for a while. This caused Wei Suo to despise him greatly. Furthermore, Duan Wuya knew that Dragon Jupiter was about the same as him, so Wei Suo didn't show any mercy in killing him.
Right now, the city in front of Wei Suo and Ling Tian was the first destination of this trip to the Frigid Cloud Continent, Congee City.
According to what Dragon Jupiter said, there was a pill concocting workshop in the Jadeite City. It was the highest level pill manufacturing market in the southern part of the capital, and many of the hard to refine elixirs originated from this market.
On the way, Wei Suo and Ling Long Tian learned a lot more useful information about the cultivation world of the Terminator Continent from Dragon Jupiter.
The Small Extreme World, Great Freezing Palace, Eternal Sun Aristocrat Clan, and True Thunder Sect were the five great sects in the entire Forbidden Continent. They were divided into the east, south, west, north, and middle sects.
There were many demon cores produced on the continent, but the number of fire and lightning type demon beasts was very few. Therefore, cultivators that specialized in lightning and fire type techniques on the continent were, on the contrary, much fewer than cultivators that specialized in other types of magic. Furthermore, there were a few supplementary Spirit Medicines that were produced in the process of refining Spirit Pills. Most of them were obtained from trading with other continents, so many of the pellets were slightly more expensive than the Profound Sky Continent and Cloud Spirit Continent.
Just on the surface, based on what Dragon Jupiter knew, he already knew that the Extreme Yin Divine Monarch of the Small Extreme World, the Palace Master of the Great Frozen Domain and the True Thunder Sect's Divine Monarch Lei Chi, as well as the talented cultivator of the Venerated Family's previous generation, Yuhua Yingtian, and the younger generation's Yuhua Ruxing Star, were both Divine Monarchs.
It was said that Yu Hua Ying Tian was a genius cultivator who had met with fortuitous encounters. He had already broken through the Divine Xuan realm when he was over 40 years old and it had been over 80 years since then. No one knew what his current cultivation level was. Right now, the Yuhua Family basically consisted of the Yuhua Star and the Yuhua Family's current Family Head, Yu Hua Long.
Regardless of whether it was the Vast Sun family or the Vast Sun family, their actions were all very secretive. Therefore, the Long Sun family and the Yu family, as to how many there were, the outside world was not clear.
In any case, before Wei Suo had come to the Forbidden Land of Ice, he should have been right. The number of Divine Profound experts in the Forbidden Continent should be more than in the Cloud Spirit Continent and the Profound Sky Continent, and his cultivation must be even more astonis.h.i.+ng. Otherwise, the Yu Hua Family wouldn't be so confident that they would destroy the cultivation world of the Cloud Spirit Continent.
The ancient transportation formation outside the Cloud Spirit Continent was connected to the southern part of the Heaven's Coldness. This area was the territory of the Great Frozen Cloud Asgard. This caused Wei Suo and Ling Tian to suspect that it might have been the Great Frozen Plains that had conspired with the Yu Hua Aristocrat Clan. Otherwise, if the Yu Hua Aristocrat Clan had invaded the Cloud Spirit Continent through the territory of the Great Frozen Plains, it would definitely be a lot more inconvenient.
After entering the continent, Wei Suo had gained a deeper understanding of the land and wide area of the continent.
After three to four days of continuous travel, according to the Dragon Jupiter's guidance, this Jadeite City was actually the first cultivator city that Wei Suo and the others had pa.s.sed by on their way!
According to the density of the cultivators in the Profound Sky Continent and the Cloud Spirit Continent, even if they were travelling in one direction, in such a vast area, there would be at least six or seven cities along the way.
The reason why they had rushed directly to the city was not because they had rushed to the nearest city first and then pa.s.sed through the teleportation formation. It was because at least half of the cities in the continent did not have access to the teleportation formation.
There were many organizations that used trade caravans or specially hired cultivators to deliver information to each other. Normally, there would be hundreds of these organizations going to other cities every day, and many of these organizations set out at different times, so it was not very difficult to deliver information.
Through their conversation with Dragon Jupiter, Wei Suo and Ling Tian even found out that there were many areas within the Heaven's Expanse Palace where the cultivators had yet to explore. There were also many dangerous areas that very few cultivators had entered.
If it weren't for the fact that there weren't as many demonic beasts as there were outside the sky, Wei Suo and Ling Longtian would have felt that this land was like a desolate wilderness.
As a result, the two of them secretly felt that they did not know that from the other continents, as far as they knew of the Profound Sky Continent, Cloud Spirit Continent, and the Terminator Continent, if the sky were to completely collapse, the most suitable land would be the Terminator Continent.
And now that they could see the entirety of Jadeite Forest City, Wei Suo and Ling Long Tian were shocked once again.
The scale of this Congee City could only be described as terrifying.
The cities of the Cloud Spirit Continent and the Profound Sky Continent were mostly built on mountains, the smallest being a mountain like Spirit Mountain City, the largest being a mountain range, the smallest being a city that could hold tens of thousands of cultivators, and the largest being a city with only four to five hundred thousand permanent cultivators.
However, there were actually four to five mountain ranges cl.u.s.tered around this city. Every mountain range, valley, and even the foot of the mountain, were densely packed with buildings.
This scale gave people the feeling that the cultivation empire that had existed before in the history of the world of cultivation would have at least a million cultivators capable of accommodating it!
"Jadeite City is in the southern part of your land. Based on the size of the city, what rank is it?" Seeing the scene of cultivators gathering in this area, Wei Suo couldn't help but ask as he glanced at the Dragon Jupiter.
"Congee City is a place where all sorts of elixirs on the continent are traded. The city is considered big, but it is ranked fourth." At this moment, Dragon Jupiter was like a servant to Wei Suo. Upon hearing Wei Suo's question, he immediately responded respectfully and quickly.
"The fourth?" Even though he had heard Ye Guwei and the others mention it before, that it was not convenient to travel back and forth, so the cities of the Frigid Cloud Continent were rather large, and the resources they gathered were quite plentiful. They could buy most of the things they wanted to buy, but he didn't think that they would actually be five times bigger than the same cities of the Cloud Spirit Continent and Profound Sky Continent.
"Right, looks like Senior doesn't know much about this Jadeite Forest City. This Jadeite City is different from the Cloud Spirit Continent, it is a self-governing city." Dragon Jupiter said with a fawning tone, "In Congee City, you can't just cast any spells, you can fly."
"Cultivators rule the cities, what do you mean? "Is it because there is no sect controlling it?" Wei Suo was slightly startled as he looked at Dragon Jupiter and asked.
"What Senior said is right, the Jadeite Forest City is completely up to the cultivators themselves, cultivators can directly fight with their magic." Dragon Jupiter said in a flattering manner, "However, all the shops that do business are under the protection of the various sects and aristocratic families. Whoever steals the shop will become the public enemy of the entire Terminator Continent. "
"Really?" How many of these cities are there in the Forbidden Land of Ice? " Wei Suo was a little curious. There seemed to be no such city in the Cloud Spirit Continent, and it also existed in the Profound Sky Continent. However, the City of Ten Thousand Lives that the Spiritual Beast Palace was located in was similar.
"About half."
"More than half?"
Wei Suo and Dragon Jupiter exchanged a few more words, and found out that there was a huge difference between the Terminator Continent and the Profound Sky Continent as well as Cloud Spirit Continent. Because the vast cities were spa.r.s.e, the trade and communication between them mostly depended on the low level cultivator organizations and shops, and the majority of them were related to the lowest level cultivator organizations.
This was equivalent to the great powers fighting over the land. However, they had to protect the soil well, and not ruin everyone's livelihood.
It was also because of these large sects restraining each other and protecting the shops and the city square that these shops and the city square were not controlled by any major power.
Moreover, even if it was a market owned by a large sect, under this environment, it would still have to compete fairly with all the other markets and shops, and wouldn't be able to take advantage of the momentum and pressure others. As time pa.s.sed, it wouldn't be very meaningful for him to build his own shops and markets.
Therefore, what was completely different from the Profound Sky Continent and the Cloud Spirit Continent was that the large sects and powers of the Terminator Continent rarely controlled any large marketplaces.
"I wonder if senior would like to go directly to the pill refining workshop or take a stroll somewhere else in the city?" Just as Wei Suo and Ling Tian were conversing secretly and felt that there was indeed a great difference in this Frigid Heaven Continent, Dragon Jupiter asked in a fawning tone.
"Let's go to the pill shop first." Wei Suo gave such an order to Dragon Jupiter. When Dragon Jupiter respectfully nodded and led the way, Wei Suo casually asked, "Compared to other cities, is there anything else that's special about Congee City that can be visited?"
"There is also an extremely unique Mysterious Treasure Garden that I can stroll around." Dragon Jupiter replied immediately.
"What kind of place is the Mysterious Treasure Garden?" Vyeso asked, glancing at Dragon Jupiter.
"This is a place that is specially used to store many strange and unknown things that most cultivators don't know about. Some of the markets might know their uses, some might not even know theirs. "Most people have a price marked for it. If one has their eyes on it, they can directly buy it. After buying it, if they know the use of it, they will tell you. If they don't, you can only find someone else to appraise it." Dragon Jupiter also seemed to think that the Mysterious Treasure Garden was a very interesting place. His eyes lit up, "There's even a gambling den in the Mysterious Treasure Garden. There are quite a few treasures sealed inside. Some of these treasures are worth far more than the same price. If you just happen to pick one, that would be a huge sum of money, but some items are cheap. If you pick one, that would be a huge disadvantage. "
