522 The Tian Yuan world

~~

Yi Yan had originally thought that tantai Ling would not be able to notice him standing in the shadow of the tree with his Dao profound realm cultivation. However, he had not expected tantai Ling to be so sharp. It was very rude of her to be discovered and peeking at him from the side.

Seeing that there were outsiders, tantai Ling returned to her frosty demeanor. She had heard of this person called Yi Yan at the banquet. She said indifferently,”It’s getting late, I’m going back to rest. Please go ahead.”

Tantai Ling’s cold expression returned. The moment of gentleness just now was as if it had never appeared. His words could not help but contain a tinge of regret. Seeing that tantai Ling had kept him at arm’s length, he felt slightly embarrassed. However, he still said,”The moon is just right. Miss, don’t you want to stay and admire the moon?”

“No, I won’t.” Tantai Ling cherished her words like gold. Without even looking at her words, she walked straight to her room.

He did not know why, but in front of tantai Ling, he, who had always thought that he was a proud Son of Heaven, also felt a little self-abased. Although he was considered a genius with an Astral Soul Fusion degree of 50, he was nothing in front of tantai Ling. Although tantai Ling was only at the divine sea realm now, and he was already at the third level Dao profound, he reckoned that in a few years, tantai Ling would leave him far behind.

He knew how terrifying it was for a genius to have an Astral Soul Fusion rate of 70 and above. One must know that tantai Ling was someone who was qualified to learn the sea god’s legacy!

As he watched tantai Ling’s graceful figure disappear at the end of the corridor, a trace of regret flashed across Yi Yan’s heart. However, he did not dare to step forward to stop her. When tantai Ling left Yanyun sacred city the day after tomorrow, he would never be able to see this devastatingly beautiful woman again.

The concern in his heart was in vain.

******

When ye chen returned to his room, little tanuki had already flipped through most of the thick book of the court’s laws. When it looked up and saw ye chen, a trace of joy flashed in its eyes. With a Swoosh, it jumped onto ye Chen’s shoulder.

Feeling little tanuki’s piercing gaze on his face, ye Chen’s cheeks burned slightly. Earlier, he had carried little tanuki and tantai on his back and even brought out the child. He could not help but feel a little guilty.

“Little tanuki, let’s rest.” Ye chen said, a little embarrassed.

Little tanuki’s eyes squinted as she smiled and nodded.

There was still a trace of tantai Ling’s intoxicating fragrance on ye Chen’s body. How could little tanuki not sense it? There was a trace of disappointment in her eyes. The old ancestor inside the illusion Pearl had stopped her from condensing her human form, and she had no choice.

She was leaving the day after tomorrow, and she didn’t know when they would meet again. Her heart was full of sadness.

Would there be a day when the mark she had left in ye Chen’s heart would gradually fade away? would there be a day many years later where tantai Ling and bi Lin would be by ye Chen’s side but she would not be there?

Her heart ached a little.

Ye chen sat cross-legged on the bed and concentrated on cultivating while little tanuki quietly curled up by ye Chen’s legs.

The next day, the entire Yanyun sacred city was bustling with excitement. Everyone was celebrating the discovery of the three super geniuses.

The news of three super geniuses appearing in Yanyun sacred city had been quickly spread out using the star crystals in the city Lord’s mansion. The higher-ups of the sixteen combat divisions were all shocked by this news. The entire continent’s attention was focused on Yanyun sacred city.

Qi Yan did not mention that ye Chen’s Astral Soul Fusion rate was 0. However, there were many onlookers at the time, so the news spread very quickly and he became a laughingstock. Ever since people on the Tian Yuan continent started using Astral Soul crystals to test their Astral Soul Fusion rate, no one had ever achieved an Astral Soul Fusion rate of 0 for thousands of years.

What kind of trash was he to cause his Astral Soul Fusion degree to not even reach 1?

Ye chen had also become a celebrity in Yanyun sacred city, and his reputation was spreading to other sacred cities.

Soon after, news came from the other three holy cities as well. Nine, nine, and eleven people from the Beiling, Southern desolation, and Xiyan continents had entered the Tian Yuan continent.

Their first stop on the Tian Yuan continent was in a different dynasty. The test showed that the highest degree of Astral Soul Fusion was 75, two people had an Astral Soul above 70, seven had an Astral Soul above 50, fifteen had an Astral Soul above 20, and five had an Astral Soul above 5 and below 20.

Those two with an Astral Soul Fusion level of 70 and above were undoubtedly like tantai Ling and the others. They had become highly sought after by all the major combat divisions. The other few with a higher degree of Astral Soul Fusion also had very good places to go.

During the day, ye chen had finished reading the court of Dao’s laws and had a clearer understanding of the entire Tian Yuan continent.

The amount of resources required to nurture a spirit Xuan, Dao Xuan, or even a battle Emperor could only be described as terrifying. The entire Tian Yuan continent was already in a state of overload, so the limited resources had to be used to nurture experts as much as possible. The Tian Yuan continent could no longer accommodate any more people.

Every year, countless experts were born, and many of them headed to Tianyuan ancient city. That was the first line of defense against the alien races. Every year, many experts died in battle. Because of the death of mysterious star’s star Master, the number of experts that had died in the past hundred years had increased by several times. The Tianyuan planet was in urgent need of a new Star Master and a large number of experts to replenish Tianyuan ancient city.

Tianyuan ancient city and the nine Star cities floated in the sky. They were the first line of defense on the planet, guarded by the ten deity servants and many experts. Once Tianyuan ancient city fell, the other four continents would be destroyed immediately. Then, there would be the Tian Yuan continent that was covered in a seal. The seal was built by the two star Lords of Tian Yuan and Xing Xuan after countless years, and it was extremely strong. That seal was the last line of defense. If this seal was also broken through, then it would be destroyed. Then, the planet of the heaven’s origin sector would be completely destroyed.

As for the small Tian Yuan world, the great Tian Yuan world, and the war Emperor’s world, they were spaces opened up by the two star Lords. Large amounts of soul beasts were fed in them.

Soul beasts were an extremely important resource on the Tian Yuan continent. After being modified by the mysterious star planet Lord, the soul beasts grew and reproduced even faster. They could devour all sorts of Xuan Qi and minerals to form origin divine power. Finally, they would gather in their minds to form Tianyuan ancient coins, Twilight Gold ancient coins, and other items.

Every part of a soul beast was a treasure. After a warrior killed a soul beast, the collected Tianyuan ancient coins, Twilight Gold ancient coins, and so on could be sold to blacksmiths. Blacksmiths could use these things to forge powerful weapons and spirit treasures. As for the meat and bones of a soul beast, they could be sold to alchemists. After being refined by alchemists using ancient alchemy techniques, they could be refined into extremely powerful origin divine pills. The effects were much better than any kind of spiritual herb or fruit, and could greatly improve the cultivation base of a cultivator.

As a result, Tianyuan ancient coins, Twilight Gold ancient coins, and so on became the currency that circulated throughout the entire continent.

Of course, the refinement of a divine pill did not only require the meat and bones of a soul beast. There were also some other precious herbs. Every divine pill was extremely expensive. Even the lowest grade of a first-grade divine pill was worth millions of Twilight Gold ancient coins.

Other than refining the origin divine pill, soul beasts could also be tamed into beasts, becoming the war beasts of the Tian Yuan continent’s humans, mystical beasts, and celestial beasts.

Other than the divine origin pills, there were even more precious ones. They could increase the degree of fusion of the star soul. Of course, they were also more expensive.

All sorts of resources were extremely precious on the Tian Yuan continent, and even living there was a problem. It was also extremely difficult to settle down in the sacred city.

Ye chen had obtained a temporary residence permit from Qi Yan, allowing him to stay in Yanyun sacred city for a year. During this period, ye chen had to find a job in Yanyun sacred city or make a certain amount of contribution to the city. In addition, he had to pay five hundred Magic Gold ancient coins or five million Shadow Gold ancient coins to buy permanent residence rights.

Even the Lord of Qi Yan city could not show any favoritism to ye chen because even the Lord of Qi Yan city had to abide by the rules set by the Dao court. Otherwise, the Dao court could dismiss him at any time.

Living in the shantytown outside required a fee of a few hundred Tianyuan ancient coins, while living in Yanyun sacred city would cost up to a few thousand Twilight Gold ancient coins.

And only those above the spirit sea level had the right to live in Yanyun sacred city!

Of course, if you had enough money, you could spend thousands of devil gold ancient coins, which was equivalent to tens of millions of Shadow Gold ancient coins, and you could buy a small private territory outside of misty cloud sacred city. However, small private territories had to pay a certain amount of tax every year.

In addition, when one reached the spirit sea realm and above, they could form teams to hunt soul beasts in the small Tian Yuan world within the jurisdiction of the sacred city of Yanyun to obtain the Twilight Gold ancient coins. It was a relatively fast way to earn money.

Yanyun sacred city was like a money-making machine. Every year, it would send a large amount of Shadow Gold, devil gold, and purple gold coins to the higher-ranked God dynasty. The God dynasty would also send ancient coins to the higher-ranked combat divisions. After those ancient coins reached the major combat divisions, they would be refined into various weapons and spirit treasures by weapon refiners.

This was a highly efficient society. Everyone worked hard under this system to sustain Tianyuan ancient city’s massive war expenses.

All the rules were set by the two star masters!

Ye chen was shocked. The entire Tian Yuan continent was a huge war machine!

On the Tian Yuan continent, the stronger one’s cultivation was, the higher one’s contribution to society would be, and the higher one’s status would be. It would also be easier for one to be allocated resources that were in short supply.

Ye Chen’s goal was not only to obtain the right to live in Yanyun sacred city, but also to earn a large amount of money to bring as many of his clansmen and Star Hall disciples from the eastern continent over! Although there was still some hope on little tanuki and tantai Ling’s side, ye chen would not pin all his hopes on them.

However, earning a lot of money in Yanyun sacred city seemed to be a very difficult thing to do. Just staying in Yanyun sacred city would cost a shocking amount of money. There were indeed many jobs here, but many of them had very low pay.

For example, he would help the Lord grow and raise all sorts of spirit herbs, fruits, and soul beasts. He would also work in the taverns and inns of Yanyun sacred city.

If one had the cultivation of the spirit sea realm and did not do these jobs, they could enter the small Tian Yuan world to hunt soul beasts. Hunting soul beasts to earn money was much faster than other methods, but it was also much more dangerous.
