Legend of the Monster
Chapters 216. Imperial City - Sky Crossing Continent
Ling Tian who had finished cultivating, immediately came out of the cave and darted flying into the sky. While standing above the air, he began to think about which direction he should choose.
"North, east, south, west, north, east, south, west, north, east ... Well, let's just go east!" said Ling Tian who voted with his ten fingers, to choose which direction he should go.
After saying that, Ling Tian instantly disappeared from his spot and shot flying towards the east. Ling Tian's current flying speed had been many times that of his previous speed.
The 500-kilometer distance that he used to be able to reach for a few minutes at full speed now only takes a few seconds. However, after flying for two days, he had not found a single town or other residential area.
"Is this place filled with forests? Or is this place really big?" inner Ling Tian with a tone of confusion.
Ling Tian continued to dart flying without loosening his speed. His spiritual sense also continued to check the circumstances around him. After another day passed, Ling Tian's spiritual senses finally sensed so many life auras present in front of him.
"Hmmm ... There's a town out there!" ling Tian muttered softly, as he continued to dart flying.
A few seconds later, he arrived at the city gate. But what made Ling Tian a little surprised was the writing plastered on his gate. It read Imperial City.
"ah! Is this the imperial capital that exists in the Intermediate Sky Continent? Or ...." Ling Tian nodded while furrowing his brows.
"Thousand Low-tier Spirit Stones!" exclaimed the gatekeeper who had awakened Ling Tian from his pensive state.
"Bhh ... Yeah ... Whahuh? Can you go back?" The newly awakened Ling Tian from his shock became even more shocked when he heard what the gatekeeper said. Ling Tian told the gatekeeper to repeat his words, doubtful whether his ears had heard wrongly.
"Are you deaf! The cost of entering into the Imperial City was a Thousand Low-tier Spirit Stone," the gatekeeper said in a slightly angry tone.
"Bhh ... I don't have a Low-Level Spirit Stone," Ling Tian replied with an awkward smile.
"Gmph ... Then get the hell out of here! Look behind you! There were still many people waiting in line to enter," the gatekeeper replied tightly.
"Haha ... From the looks of it alone, everyone had already guessed it that he was really poor."
"Hey, get out of the way! Don't block the way! You're just gonna make the queue even longer."
"Young man, get out of the way! You've blocked my way."
Some people had become furious when they felt Ling Tian had slowed them down to enter the Imperial City. Some laughed at him and some even insulted him.
However, Ling Tian remained standing leisurely as if ignoring all of them. Calmly, he said again, "Can the Low-tier Spirit Stone be replaced with something else? For example, such as gold coins or anything of equivalent value to a Low-tier Spirit Stone."
"Yes! It could. One Low-tier Spirit Stone was equivalent to a thousand gold coins. So, you have to pay him with a million gold coins to replace a thousand Low-tier Spirit Stones." The gatekeeper explained in a slightly astonished tone.
What the people who were in that place were thinking was the same as what the gatekeeper had in mind. There were even those who thought that Ling Tian was a hick-eyed person who came from a remote village and had never known the outside world.
"Ooh ... That's so!?" ling Tian said as he nodded his head. Then rushed out a Space Ring that contained a million gold coins. Then continue, "Get it! Inside was a million gold coins."
The gatekeeper immediately checked the Space Ring given by Ling Tian. After feeling the number was right, he said briefly, "Hmmm ... Come inside!"
Ling Tian quickly walked in regardless of the strange gazes of everyone who was at that place. After hearing the explanation from the gatekeeper, he finally knew that the currency used in this place was not gold coins anymore, but rather with the Spirit Stone.
In this way, Ling Tian also concluded that he was no longer in the Intermediate Sky Continent. However, to be more certain, he had to ask the residents of the city.
The atmosphere in the Imperial City was extremely crowded. It was many times more crowded than the Primordial City. The Imperial City was also larger than the Primordial City. Very large, multi-storey buildings line the streets.
As usual, Ling Tian first looked for an inn that had a restaurant, when entering a city that was very foreign to him. Because restaurants can also be used as a place to find information.
However Ling Tian did not find such an inn. Because, in this Imperial City, inns and restaurants were deliberately set apart.
"Hmmm ... Perhaps the restaurant owner felt aggrieved if there was an inn that also had a restaurant in it," Ling Tian murmured inwardly, then continued, "Maybe I should go to a restaurant first to find the information I need."
Using his spiritual senses, Ling Tian searched for a very crowded restaurant. After finding him, he immediately rushed towards there.
When Ling Tian arrived at the restaurant, he quickly looked for an empty seat and looked not too conspicuous from the sight of the people inside. Then Ling Tian ordered food and wine so that he looked like the other customers.
With an extremely sensitive sense of hearing plus an extremely sharp spiritual sense, Ling Tian was able to tell what was being discussed by everyone inside the restaurant.
"Have you guys that a few days ago the Spatial Tunnel that was heading towards the Intermediate Sky Continent had opened up?" asked a young man to some friends who were sitting with him.
"Yes! I have heard those rumors too. It is said that the Spatial Tunnel will open once every 500 years and in just a few minutes it will close again" replied another young man.
"It's a pity that it's only open for a moment. If it were to open for a long time, it might be that many people from this Undying Continent would go to take a look at what was inside the Intermediate Level Sky Continent." One of the young men also spoke.
"Ciiiu ... Why go to the Sky Intermediate Level Continent?! If there is a Spatial Tunnel heading to the Upper Sky Continent, I would prefer to go there. Because, the resources that are in the Upper Sky Continent are more than those of the Intermediate Sky Continent. There can also make our cultivation level rise by leaps and bounds," the other young man replied in a sneering tone.
"Hmmm ... As the border region between the Intermediate-ranked and Upper-tier Sky Continent, this place also definitely had a Spatial Tunnel heading to the Upper-tier Sky Continent. Merely, everyone in this Sky Intersection Continent had yet to find him. Or it may have been found, but they wouldn't tell it."
Ling Tian who was listening to the conversation of those people finally understood, that his place was now called the Sky Divided Continent. It was the Spatial Tunnel that opened once in 500 years that brought him to this place.
"Reph ... I cannot wait another 500 years to be able to return to the Intermediate Sky Continent. I must immediately increase my strength and find a way to return as quickly as possible" Ling Tian grumbled in his heart.
