Chapter 94 Tianxing City
The light streaked away at breakneck speed.
Along the way, they passed countless small islands, and Qin Fang and Nangong Wan's whereabouts were naturally discovered by many people long ago. However, due to the threat of the level four demonic beast, no villains dared to risk blocking the two of them.
The Chaotic Star Sea is vast! So vast that no one knows its exact size. Of course, no one would be foolish enough to try to measure it.
The sea charts that Qin Fang collected on Kui Xing Island can only be considered a small part of the entire Chaotic Star Sea!
The area that has been explored has another name among the cultivators of the Chaotic Star Sea: the Inner Star Sea.
In fact, under normal circumstances, the "Chaotic Star Sea" mentioned by cultivators usually refers to the "Inner Star Sea".
Where there is inside, there is outside. In addition to the inner star sea that has been occupied and explored by the human race, there is also the outer star sea occupied by monsters, which is also known as the "Sea of Monsters".
In the outer sea, not only are there countless monsters living and breeding, but there are also countless deep-sea phenomena. One careless move and you will perish in the depths of the sea!
Let alone a Foundation Establishment cultivator like Qin Fang, even a Nascent Soul cultivator would probably only have the fate of fleeing in panic if they encountered a Transformation stage demon.
The number of cultivators who perish in the outer seas every year is countless!
However, countless cultivators still flock to the outer sea one after another—the reason is simple: most of the elixirs, magical artifacts, and magical treasures in the Chaotic Star Sea cultivation world are constructed from demon beast cores and materials.
Unlike the cultivation world of Tiannan, which uses spiritual herbs for alchemy, in the Chaotic Star Sea, the main ingredient for most pills is various kinds of demon cores! Spiritual herbs, on the other hand, can only serve as auxiliary ingredients.
The reason for this unique alchemy method is quite simple! The Chaotic Star Sea is described as having "numerous islands," but to put it bluntly, its "fragmented" landmass simply lacks the environment necessary for spiritual herbs to grow.
Aside from some special elixirs, it is extremely rare to use medicinal herbs that are hundreds of years old.
The limited land area also means that refining materials will be extremely scarce! If it weren't for the fact that materials from demonic beasts could be substituted, magical artifacts and treasures would probably be something that could only be longed for but never obtained in the Chaotic Star Sea.
"Why is the description of the star palaces in this jade slip so hastily written?"
On the back of the python, Nangong Wan asked a question with a puzzled expression.
"It is, after all, a super power that has existed for so many years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the only ruler of the Chaotic Star Sea."
"How can there be so few records?"
Nangong Wan looked at Qin Fang.
"This is just intelligence gathered near Kui Xing Island, what more can you expect?!"
"Kui Xing Island is located in the Chaotic Star Sea and is one of the twenty-four outer star islands. Even among these twenty-four star islands, it is considered a remote place."
"It's normal not to know much about the constellations."
Qin Fang began to explain.
"What is the current strength of the Star Palace Twin Saints?"
Nangong Wan asked again.
"Peak of the late-stage Nascent Soul realm, perhaps —"
"Every few hundred or a thousand years, a new Star Palace Master will successfully break through to the Nascent Soul stage."
"These two Star Palace Masters who now jointly govern the Star Palace probably have no chance of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage."
Since he had nothing better to do, Qin Fang casually started talking, as if they were just having a chat.
"A Nascent Soul cultivator?!"
Are you sure?!
Nangong Wanmei's eyes were filled with surprise.
"This isn't exactly a secret. With your Core Formation stage cultivation, you could easily find out in Tianxing City, where we're about to head, if you just spend some time. Why would I lie to you?"
"Every so often, the Lord of the Star Palace does indeed become a Nascent Soul stage cultivator —"
"This is why, despite the presence of many level-ten demons in the Outer Star Sea, they never dare to venture halfway into the Inner Star Sea."
"It is said that every Star Palace Master who breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage will go to the outer sea to intimidate the demons and sign a special contract with them."
Qin Fang said.
Qin Fang did not know the number of level 10 demon cultivators in the outer sea, but there could not be fewer than four or five!
The number of late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators among the human race in the Chaotic Star Sea is not much different from the current number.
Since the difference in strength doesn't seem significant, the fact that the demon cultivators from the outer seas have never crossed the line is probably related to the fact that the Star Palace Society occasionally produces Nascent Soul cultivators.
The demon race also craves more cultivation resources! If they could drive the human race away in one fell swoop, how could they possibly refuse!
"Every so often, a Nascent Soul cultivator is born—"
"Could there be some secret technique involved in this star palace?"
"No wonder the Star Palace is the only super-dominant force in the Chaotic Star Sea—"
Nangong Wan murmured.
There are many powerful forces in Tiannan, but I have never heard of any sect that can do this.
Let alone Nascent Soul stage cultivators, even Nascent Soul stage cultivators in the late Nascent Soul realm cannot guarantee their continued existence.
Even~
In Tiannan, cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage are practically legendary figures, with only a few records found in certain ancient texts.
The last Tiannan cultivator who was suspected of advancing to the Nascent Soul stage — perhaps we have to go back four or five thousand years.
This is only a suspicion! There is no substantial evidence yet.
In terms of resources for advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, it's hard to say where Tiannan is weaker than Luanxinghai! It's even possible that it's slightly better than Luanxinghai.
However, Tiannan has never produced a super sect, or rather—the super sects were later divided up by various forces!
Just like Qing Yuanzi's original Sword Sect, it may have once been a "Star Palace"-like entity, but it was later divided up by various forces in Tiannan and disappeared into the long river of history.
The Star Palace has experienced similar situations several times, but it survived! The super power in Tiannan, however, did not hold on.
The Star Palace will still face counterattacks from forces such as the "Reverse Star Alliance" in the future, but breaking the Star Palace's rule will be too difficult.
The reason is simple: while there are countless opportunities in the Chaotic Star Sea, it is still slightly inferior to Tiannan in terms of high-level resources.
Once you reach the Nascent Soul stage, you can't exactly hunt down Transformation stage demons to refine pills and improve your cultivation, can you? Putting aside the question of whether you can win or not, even if you killed all the demons in the entire outer sea, you probably wouldn't get many demon cores!
Giving these demon cores to one or two people might have a great effect.
However, once the profits are distributed among the numerous Nascent Soul stage cultivators, they seem somewhat insignificant.
This is why, although the Chaotic Star Sea has far more Nascent Soul stage cultivators than the Southern Heavenly Realm, in terms of cultivation level, it is completely incomparable to the Southern Heavenly Realm.
Chaotic Star Nascent Soul – The vast majority of them will remain stuck at the early stage of Nascent Soul throughout their lives, unable to make any further progress!
It's not that they lack talent; it's simply because they don't have any miraculous medicine!
Hunting and killing transformed demon cores for alchemy is clearly not a viable practice, which has led to a near-complete lack of cultivation resources for high-level cultivators, except for super powers like the Star Palace and a few individuals with ancient lineages.
Nascent Soul cultivators, cut off from cultivation resources, can only refine a small amount of spiritual energy in the world. How can their cultivation level improve rapidly?
— Several months later.
After months of sailing at sea, Qin Fang's face was now visibly tired.
Even though he mostly flew using the python-dragon technique, it still took a considerable toll on his mental energy. Moreover, Qin Fang also had to suppress the already burgeoning second layer of the Nine Dragons Suppressing Meridian Technique, which exacerbated his fatigue.
At this moment, a hint of excitement finally appeared on his previously tired face!
Tianxing City!
In the distance, on the horizon, he could already faintly see a blurry black dot appearing.
At such a distance, to be able to see a black dot, there is almost only one possibility! That is—Tianxing City is approaching.
"Suppress your cultivation level to around the mid-Foundation Establishment stage."
"We're almost at Tianxing City."
Qin Fang turned to Nangong Wan, who was practicing her breathing exercises, and said.
"Aren't you being a little too cautious?"
Nangong Wan spoke before even opening her eyes.
"After all, we are cultivators from the southern sky, and there are still some subtle differences in habits between us and the native cultivators of the Chaotic Star Sea!"
"You don't want to attract the attention of the Star Palace, do you?"
"Don't cause any further trouble, quickly suppress your cultivation level!"
Qin Fang frowned.
"Okay, okay, okay~"
Nangong Wan didn't say much, and directly suppressed her cultivation to around the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, achieving a harmonious relationship with Qin Fang.
Qin Fang's current cultivation level is also at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
After being teleported to the Chaotic Star Sea, Qin Fang obtained the nameless concealment technique from Han Li. During the time he was searching for the Gold-Eating Insects, he also tried to cultivate it, and now he can barely master it.
Nangong Wan naturally also obtained this technique. Now that her cultivation level is concealed, even a late-stage Core Formation cultivator would probably not be able to discern their true cultivation levels.
Unless they encounter a Nascent Soul stage monster deliberately probing them, the two will not be at risk of being exposed.
Although Tianxing City is the location of the Star Palace headquarters and has many Nascent Soul stage elders, they are not easy to encounter.
As for Nascent Soul cultivators from other forces, they would never appear in Tianxing City unless there were special circumstances! They were also afraid that the Star Palace would take action to eliminate their allies.
"I've got it—"
"We are cultivation partners, and we are going to use the Star Palace teleportation array to travel to the outer sea to hunt demon cores for our beloved daughter to refine her Foundation Establishment Pill."
Qin Fang was still uneasy and spoke again.
"besides----"
"never mind!"
Qin Fang remained silent, only looking towards Tianxing City.
Although he had some understanding of the Chaotic Star Sea, he had never been to Tianxing City before, so he was still quite nervous at this moment.
A moment later ————
The black dot gradually enlarged as it approached, revealing a huge outline.
"Hiss~"
Even though Qin Fang had some expectations, he was still shocked by the scale of the huge city in front of him and gasped in shock.
Nangong Wan was no less impressive!
Although she was a Core Formation stage cultivator of the Hidden Moon Sect and had seen a lot of the world, she had never seen such a magnificent sight.
Looking at the towering mountain that seemed to pierce the clouds, Nangong Wan's expression of shock was no less than Qin Fang's.
You should know————
The two of them are currently seventy or eighty miles away from Tianxing City!
As expected of Tianxing City!
As Qin Fang sighed inwardly, the python beneath his feet continued its flight towards Tianxing City.
After traveling for dozens of miles, when they were still twenty or thirty miles away from Tianxing City, the various colored lights around them began to increase.
Cultivators of all kinds are piloting their respective flying magical artifacts, flying in the same direction towards Tianxing City.
Seeing this, Qin Fang followed the streaks of light; that should be the entrance to Tianxing City.
This Tianxing City isn't a place you can just walk into anywhere. If he accidentally stumbled into the Star Palace's protective formation, he would have absolutely no hope of survival.
After a short while, Qin Fang retracted the python beneath his feet and, together with Nangong Wan, slowly landed on a huge rock platform.
Gazing at the massive city wall that seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see, Qin Fang and Nangong Wan exchanged a glance before following the others toward the gate on the wall.
Queue up to enter Tianxing City!
The procession wasn't long. After each handing over eight mid-grade spirit stones, Qin Fang and Nangong Wan each received a red ring. They then passed through the massive city gate and entered Tianxing City.
Although Core Formation stage cultivators can obtain permanent residency in Tianxing City without any cost.
However, in order to avoid attracting attention, wasting a few mid-grade spirit stones is no big deal.
Upon entering the city, standing on the street and watching numerous streaks of light rushing across the sky, Qin Fang and his companion were clearly surprised! Such a massive city had no anti-flying restrictions.
That's right too.
Tianxing City is so huge that it would be extremely inconvenient to prohibit air travel!
"Walk----"
Qin Fang spoke.
