Chapter 913: The Water in this City is Deep (1)
Editor: Henyee Translations
The Northern Ice Immortal City occupied a vast area and was divided into the main city, the inner city, and the outer city. The main city was where immortals above the Mystic Immortal realm lived. The inner city was the various cave abodes of Golden Immortals, and the outer city was the cave abodes of Heavenly Immortals and True Immortals.
Although the outer city was not small, the distance between each cave abode was very short. It looked very crowded. If True Immortals and Heavenly Immortals wanted to cultivate some secret techniques here, the commotion they caused would be detected by other cave abodes. Unless they bought and built some powerful array formations to isolate them, even so, the supply of cave abodes that could hide could not meet the demand.
After all, this immortal city was the only city in the entire Immortal Domain. If he lived outside the city, not to mention safety, just the violent spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth was not something that all immortals could withstand.
Shen Ping was a peak peerless immortal, so he didn’t hide anything at all. Therefore, when he entered the city, he didn’t even have to pay the entrance fee. No city guards rushed over to collect his wives, concubines, and Dao companions.
“There are more than a hundred million immortals living in the Northern Ice Immortal City. There are the most true immortals and the least number of peerless immortals. Apart from them, there are also the five immortal kings here. They each control the five great armies in the city, and the various resources transported in the city are mobilized by the Heavenly Court.”
When they entered the city, he recalled the information he had obtained about the Northern Ice Immortal City.
There was a Heavenly Court in the entire human immortal domain. The reason why the Misty Peak was a core Holy Land was mainly because of Venerable Sovereign Tian Hong. The other Immortal Realms were managed by the Heavenly Court. After Venerable Hei Tian lost himself in the Realm Sea, the Heavenly Court’s control only existed in name. However, with the support of Venerable Tian Hong, it still managed the operation of the entire territory.
Under the guidance of the guards in the city, Shen Ping brought his wife, concubine, and Dao companions to the main city.
Compared to the outer and inner cities, not only was the main city enveloped by a super powerful immortal array, but every cave abode here was vast and beautiful. It was not inferior to the scenery of the Misty Peak at all. Of course, in terms of immortal spiritual energy, this place was far inferior to the Misty Immortal City. At least, there was also a fifth-grade immortal spiritual vein under the main city.
“Here, my lord, is your residency token. You’re a peerless immortal, so you can choose a residence for free. You don’t have to pay any fees,” the main city guard said respectfully.
No matter which immortal domain it was, peerless immortals were experts. Northern Ice City only had three to five thousand peerless immortals. If they encountered a large-scale war, they would be temporarily transferred from other places and could gather more than ten thousand peerless immortals in a short period of time.
At A75 cave abode, Shen Ping casually waved his hand, and an immortal token appeared. Soon, the immortal formation of the entire cave abode was opened.
Although there were no immortals living here, this cave was still refreshing. There were mountain peaks, waterfalls, lakes, rivers, forests, and other sceneries. Moreover, the buildings also had palaces, bamboo houses, medicinal gardens, and various other facilities.
Most importantly, it was immortal spiritual energy. It was rich and abundant. A high-grade fifth-grade immortal spirit vein was enough to support the daily absorption and cultivation of peerless immortals. Heavenly Immortals like Wang Yun, Yu Yan, Luo Qing, and Mu Jin cultivated here with half the effort.
Compared to the cultivation area of Realm Sea Peak, this place was much inferior.
“You can choose whatever kind of living environment you like. We’ll rest for a few months in the cave abode before accepting missions in the city,” he said with a smile.
His wives and concubines nodded one after another. They knew that their husband had not come here for a vacation, but to sharpen himself. This included their own thoughts of sharpening themselves. They had cultivated in seclusion in the lower realm for too long, and most of the time, they stayed in the world pearl to cultivate. Although they had once gone out to travel, the time was too short. They were very powerful at that time, so they could not have any sharpening effects.
However, it was different in the Northern Ice Immortal City. The Heavenly Immortals here were all at the bottom. Only Golden Immortals could stand out slightly. One had to know that in other immortal realms, Golden Immortals could guard an immortal city.
Half a month later, two peerless immortals came to visit one after another. They were Peerless Immortal Fu and Peerless Immortal Chai, both of them were mid peerless immortals. He briefly befriended each other. At the same time, they brought Shen Ping some detailed information about the city.
He looked at the jade slip. The five Immortal Kings of the Immortal City belonged to three factions. Among them, the Rock Martial Army and the Rhinoceros Army were reinforcements sent by the upper echelons of the human race. The Frost Dragon Army and the Black Horn Army were local factions. They mainly came from the families in the Northern Ice Immortal Domain and the nearby Immortal Domains. The remaining Heavenly Sparrow Army belonged to the Heavenly Court.
And that’s just the forces on the surface. In the dark, there were also 18 different factions and various intermediate factions that formed the Northern Ice Immortal City to resist the foreign races.
The waters of this immortal city were very deep. If they really went in deeper, they could involve the higher-ups of the Immortal Venerables of the human race.
“These two peerless immortals are probably trying to rope me in. Unfortunately, I’m only here to temper myself. I don’t want to participate in the open and covert struggles of such forces.”
Where there were benefits, there would be Jianghu, and there would be fights. Even in the Immortal Realm closest to the foreign races’ battlefield, there were many battles. It was just that they were suppressed within a reasonable range.
Shen Ping had cultivated all the way here and rarely participated in such competitions. Even in the Abyss of Supreme Darkness, he relied on his own strength to make it difficult for many human factions to influence him. He did not want to participate in those struggles even in the Immortal Realm.
In the blink of an eye, three months passed. During this period, other peerless immortals came to visit one after another. They either openly or secretly inquired about Shen Ping’s background or roped him in. There were also some who came alone to temper themselves like him and wanted to work together.
