Rebirth of the Supreme Celestial Being

Chapter 402 - City of Twin Moons (2)



Chapter 402 – City of Twin Moons (2)

Duan Yuyang spoke, “Disgusting!”

Yan Tianhen uttered, “Extremely evil and vicious!”

The other people there also expressed their dissatisfaction and anger at Royal Heavenly Capital’s Yan family. Because Wan Yitong and Bei Shitian were far away from the Nine Lands right now, they had no scruples in speaking their minds.

“So…” Lin Xuanzhi glanced at everyone and asked, “Where exactly are we now?”

Everyone, “…” I accidentally became so immersed in the drama that I forgot about our present situation.

Ji Yunwei was very puzzled. “Since it’s a matter pertaining to the Nine Lands, and it has already been so long, why would Twin Moons City appear again in the Five Continents, especially inside this Great Demon-Sealing Array?”

“I also want to ask this question.” Leng Jixue frowned. “Moreover, who exactly is the Divine Devil Venerable sealed in this Great Demon-Sealing Array? And who’s the person who sealed the Divine Devil Venerable? Is there any connection between this Twin Moons City and those two people — the Divine Devil Venerable and the one who sealed him?”

Everyone had an expression of “You’re asking me, but how would I know?”

Lin Xuanzhi thought about it and proposed, “In this case, we might as well stay here first and pay a visit to the City Lord mentioned in the legends another day.”

Wan Yitong nodded. “This is a good method. However, the current City Lord may not necessarily be that final City Lord of Twin Moons City.”

Lin Xuanzhi replied, “Nevertheless, we should try.”

Ji Yunwei frowned and asked, “But where did those people who came in before us go?”

Wan Yitong shrugged. “Who knows, maybe they were already wiped out in the forest outside.”

Leng Jixue nodded. “If they also entered the city, then we may meet again in the future.”

When Huangfu Jin remembered the scene when they were struck off the cliff, he said with a cold expression, “I’d like to give them a good beating when I see them.”

“And get slapped onto the ground with a single palm strike again?” Yan Tianhen said, “I think the gap between our levels is too great. If you see them, you should hide away first and avoid them.”

Huangfu Jin, “…” Fuck, did you have to elevate the other party’s spirits and destroy your side’s prestige?

Leng Jixue couldn’t help but smile. “Let’s find a place to stay first.”

However, to everyone’s surprise, after they found a seemingly normal inn, they failed to secure lodging in it. The reason was also extremely embarrassing. The money used in this small inn was not the gold and silver carried by these people, but spirit stones.

Yuan Tianwen said with a cold expression, “Let’s go to the next one and take a look.”

After lots of back and forth like this, it was already evening.

On the street, this group of teenagers who were young masters of distinguished families and the pillars of their sects suffered the illusionary people’s disdain. Everyone felt very complicated in their hearts, especially Yuan Tianwen, who never had to worry about money at all since childhood. More than anyone else, he had mixed feelings about it and felt the contempt deeply.

“It seems that we’ll have to sleep on the streets.” Duan Yuyang said somewhat helplessly.

“Usually we spend money like it’s nothing, but when we truly need to spend it, we realize how poor we are.” Ji Yunwei was heartbroken. “However, who would have thought that you’d have to trade with spirit stones here. The standard of living is too high.”

Leng Jixue also couldn’t help smiling bitterly as he asked, “Could it be that all the cities in the Nine Lands use spirit stones to trade?”

“Not entirely.” Wan Yitong replied, “There are also transactions made with gold and Sparrow Spirits, but Sparrow Spirits are managed by the ten great Divine Clans and cannot be used if you’re not part of a Divine Clan.”

Leng Jixue asked, “Then why is this inn demanding so much?”

Wan Yitong explained leisurely, “Don’t forget that we live in the Post-Dao Era, with constant disputes, a collapse of heavenly principles, and a shortage of spiritual Qi. Even the number of spirit stones have vastly decreased. The era in which Twin Moons City is located is the last Myriad Dao Era. At that time, it could be said that Earth Realms are everywhere, while Profound Realms are inferior to dogs. Nobody knew what gold was. They always used spirit stones when trading. However, Sparrow Spirits were just as rare back then.”

Earth Realms are everywhere, while Profound Realms are inferior to dogs.

That was a glorious era, an era where heroes came forth in large numbers.

Of all the legends that had been circulated up till now — except for those ancient and vague legends like splitting Heaven and Earth or creating humans and patching up the sky — the most widely circulated legends were tales about the splendor of the last golden age of the cultivation world.

Every cultivator yearned for the golden age of the Myriad Dao Era. However, in the end, with the killing of countless Divine Devils, the Royal Heavenly Capital changing hands, and the sealing of the Divine Devil Venerable, that era eventually became a relic of the past.

They didn’t expect that after going deep into this Great Demon-Sealing Array, they were still able to see a city from the Myriad Dao Era.

Lin Xuanzhi looked at the sky, and there were almost no pedestrians on the road, so he asked, “What are our plans for tonight?”

Yuan Tianwen was the most concerned about their living environment. He looked at Duan Yuyang with some worry. “If nothing else works, how about we find a family who is amassing good karma and stay there for one night?”

Wan Yitong side-eyed Yuan Tianwen. “Young Peak Master Yuan, I think you’re the one who became pregnant and turned into an idiot for three years, right? You clearly know that there’s something wrong with the people in this city, yet you still want to go right up to their door and throw yourself into a trap. Truly, you’re not afraid of death.”

Duan Yuyang also glared at Yuan Tianwen. “You can save your worry. Don’t regard honourable me as a delicate flower. My present cultivation is almost the same as yours. Moreover, your son is also determined — there’s actually been no movement from him so far. He’s very good.”

Yuan Tianwen could only give up.

However, though they said that the matter of overnight lodging was a big concern, in reality, it was a small one. When cultivators go out to train and gain experience, they would often sit on the ground in some forest or lakeside, which was nothing.

Therefore, after Lin Xuanzhi and the others wandered around the street, they found a quiet place in the city where they could stay and rest in a pavilion. The pavilion was surrounded by verdant and lush trees. The environment was very beautiful and secluded.

The group decided to settle down in this pavilion.

This place was particularly rich in spiritual Qi, so it was a good place to cultivate.

Lin Xuanzhi and the others took advantage of the free time to cultivate, and Yan Tianhen took the opportunity to refine some medicinal pills. Duan Yuyang refined a lot of talisman for a rainy day.

On the second day, the group of people divided into three parties: one group went to visit the City Lord’s mansion, one group went to the city gate to scout for more information, and another group went door-to-door to inquire.

Lin Xuanzhi, Yan Tianhen, and two tiger cubs went to the City Lord’s mansion together.

The City Lord’s mansion was located in the center of the city. Looking down with an aerial view, the layout of the city was a circle, yet the layout of the City Lord’s mansion happened to be a square. Gazing down from a high vantage point, it matched the belief of “round Heaven and square Earth”. Many cities in the cultivation world have this layout, so Lin Xuanzhi soon found the City Lord’s mansion.

The City Lord’s mansion looked very dignified.

Lin Xuanzhi arrived at the door and was stopped by the guards.

“Who goes there?”

“East Continent’s Lin Xuanzhi. I’ve come to visit the City Lord.”

The guard stared at Lin Xuanzhi and Yan Tianhen’s faces for a moment. Suddenly, his expression changed. He held his sword and shouted, “The Yan family’s group has come again! Hurry and report to the City Lord to drive them out of Twin Moons City!”

Yan Tianhen, “…”

Lin Xuanzhi, “…”

You can even do this?

Yan Tianhen wanted to explain, but the door of the City Lord’s mansion opened wide, and two rows of armed guards ran out uniformly from the inside. With a whoosh, the city gate tower in the City Lord’s mansion was also full of soldiers holding bows with arrows nocked, ready to shoot at a moment’s notice.

Yan Tianhen swallowed hard. “This is all a misunderstanding, I promise.”

However, no one listened to him at all.

A soldier shouted coldly, “Leave quickly, my Yin family is not a place you all can casually visit!”

Lin Xuanzhi looked at those cold swords and spoke lightly, “Where is your City Lord? Since I said that I will obtain the treasure, I will not give up easily and will not give him time to make preparations.”

“Ha…” A tall and sturdy man walked to the center of the city gate tower. He stood with his hands clasped behind him, looking down at Lin Xuanzhi and Yan Tianhen as though they were ants. His eyes were cold. “Yan Chi, you despicable scumbag, I don’t know how many times I’ve told you this. That thing is not in my Yin family. Even if you turn my Yin family upside down, it’ll still be impossible to find it!”

Lin Xuanzhi said, “Then you might as well let me enter and search for it myself. Maybe you can’t find it, but I can?”

“Impudent!” The soldiers shouted uniformly.

City Lord Yin refused with a cold expression, “Absolutely impossible.”

Lin Xuanzhi curled his lips into a sneer. “City Lord Yin, you know that your Twin Moons City is just a tiny place. Compared with my Yan family, it’s merely an ant. You should think about whether you can bear the consequences of offending my Yan family!?”

City Lord Yin looked even more unhappy. “Yan Chi, although your Yan family is one of the Divine Clans, my Yin family is a vassal family of the Purple Emperor’s Heavenly Capital. The Yin family will always submit only to the ruler of the Royal Heavenly Capital. Your Yan family is merely living in an obscure corner of this land, and you even have treasonous intentions. The Yin family will never submit to you! Dream on!”

“Good!” Lin Xuanzhi sneered. “You have a backbone, but I, Yan Chi, want to see exactly how much of a backbone you have.”

After he said that, Lin Xuanzhi took Yan Tianhen and left the City Lord’s mansion with the two tiger cubs.

When they walked into the streets, Yan Tianhen was puzzled and asked, “Dage, why did you pretend to be Yan Chi and deliberately provoke the City Lord?”

Lin Xuanzhi replied, “To prove certain things.”

Yan Tianhen asked, “What things?”

“Firstly, I can take advantage of the currents to push the boat along and worm some information from the City Lord, such as the name of the Yan family member who came and what part of the timeframe we’re currently in. Secondly, I also want to confirm something — if I do this, will it push forward the development speed of this city?”

Lin Xuanzhi didn’t know why they appeared inside this Twin Moons City when they entered the Great Demon-Sealing Array. He also didn’t know what goal the owner of the Great Demon-Sealing Array had.

However, in this world, if there are causes, then there are effects. Lin Xuanzhi guessed that they must have a set purpose for entering Twin Moons City.

And the most important thing that happened in Twin Moons City was its bloody massacre at the hands of the Yan family, and it could be confirmed from his earlier conversation with City Lord Yin that they were indeed in the time period right before Twin Moons City overflowed with blood.

What exactly did this Great Demon-Sealing Array want to do?

And what should they do in order to break through this barrier?

Back to the cloister in the pavilion, Lin Xuanzhi saw that of the other two teams, one had already returned.

Duan Yuyang and Yuan Tianwen, as well as Qing Zhu and Xiao Linfeng, had gone to the city gate together, so it didn’t take long.

Lin Xuanzhi asked, “What is the situation at the city gate?”
