Chapter 332 A City

Chapter 332: A City

The Immortal Ancient Era had long passed, and along the way, Lin Fan remained silent, his mood still heavy even after traveling tens of thousands of miles away.

Undoubtedly, this was an unforgettable experience; though an entire epoch separated them, it felt so close, and he had befriended such a group of people.

However, time was long and incredibly cruel; he could only watch them perish, their blood staining the sky.

This was a knot in his heart; Lin Fan's chest heaved violently, unable to forget for a long time, as he had spent a considerable amount of time in that era.

“I came, I witnessed, yet I could only be a bystander, helplessly watching them die.”

“Immortal Ancient Era, how much glory did it bury…” Lin Fan felt an endless surge of emotion.

Days later, even though he had long since left, every time he thought of it, there was a burning pain, and his eyes felt sore.

“But, today’s remembrance will lead to tomorrow’s revenge for you all.”

However, he was not an indecisive person; he quickly adjusted his mindset, turning grief and indignation into motivation to move forward.

Even if not for others, it had to be for himself; dwelling on the past changed nothing. What he needed to do now was rise rapidly.

Because, one day, he would also encounter even more powerful enemies. If he didn't want to lose, if he didn't want to hide in the back, he could only become stronger!

He wanted to fight, to carve out a dawn, and although his heart might grow weary and lost in this process, he sought no regrets!

“Whoosh!”

Next, the two found a Teleportation Array and thoroughly departed, entering the depths of the No Man's Land to search for fragments of the Reincarnation Disk.

Half a month later, they had traveled countless tens of thousands of miles, crossing innumerable mountain ranges; in short, they were extremely far from the Three Thousand Provinces.

Suddenly, looking into the distance, a massive city appeared on the horizon, grand and vast, comparable to a nation's imperial capital, situated before them.

“There’s a city in the No Man's Land?!” Qing Yang Heavenly God was startled, finding it unbelievable.

Relatively speaking, Lin Fan was calmer, knowing some things.

The border passes of the Three Thousand Provinces were extremely important. From ancient times to the present, experts had always fulfilled their alliance agreements, naturally leaving behind Disciples and descendants.

After all, not everyone was qualified to live in Emperor City, and they could only take root in the forbidden zone.

Furthermore, as more and more people arrived, cities were built, though the number of such cities would not be too many.

“This means it’s not far from that Emperor City then,” Lin Fan pondered, looking ahead.

This was a plain, with no mountains obstructing the view, and the ancient trees were relatively sparse, which was why this city could be seen from afar.

Subsequently, the two approached and found that there were quite a few people in the city; various noisy sounds came forth, making it seem very lively.

“Hmm, a team of Heavenly Gods forming an iron cavalry, patrolling nearby?” Yuechan's Uncle was surprised again.

At the city gate, a team of people rushed out, led by Heavenly Gods, their aura astonishing, indicating that this place was filled with experts.

Of course, not everyone was at this Realm; looking into the city, there were also some Cultivators who hadn't even ignited their Divine Fire.

Even so, such a city was considered peculiar; just its daring to be built in the dangerous No Man's Land was worthy of admiration.

“Let’s go, we’ll go in and have a look, and inquire about some news.”

Lin Fan decided to enter the city, because aimlessly wandering like this wouldn't work; who knew when they might encounter another crisis.

Moreover, according to the Reincarnation Disk, the location of its other sibling was not far, but it couldn't be summoned, seemingly trapped.

This made Lin Fan vigilant; being able to imprison a fragmented Immortal King Artifact, one didn't need to guess to know it must be a perilous place.

Therefore, he had to make some preparations to ensure his safety.

“Won’t there be any danger?” Qing Yang Heavenly God looked worried.

For someone unfamiliar, a sudden giant city appearing in the No Man's Land indeed warranted caution, which was understandable.

After all, there were truly many people inside, from many races, including extremely powerful individuals, even those who surpassed the Heavenly God Realm.

“No problem,” Lin Fan walked ahead, entering the city. Along the way, no one stopped them, and it was relatively peaceful.

“How lively…”

As soon as they entered, the aura of the Mortal World rushed at them, not much different from the large cities they had seen in the Three Thousand Provinces.

Only the clothing had slight differences, so the two specifically changed their clothes to not appear out of place.

Afterward, they temporarily settled down, but it was a bit of a headache; renting a small courtyard actually required payment in Sacred Medicine.

“This is a forbidden zone, and safe places are worth their weight in gold. If you’re unwilling, there are plenty of others eager to live here.”

The person spoke impolitely, a True God, yet he didn't even look them in the eye, acting very arrogant.

At this sight, Lin Fan was so annoyed his teeth ached; he almost grabbed him and beat him up. What kind of service attitude was this? Didn't he know the customer was God?

In the end, Qing Yang Heavenly God held him back and paid a stalk of Sacred Medicine, but it was only enough for half a month's stay.

“Damn it, when I leave, I’m going to burn this crooked establishment down!” Lin Fan grumbled indignantly.

“Forget it, let’s not cause trouble. Judging by this person’s attitude, there’s clearly a strong individual backing him, unafraid of Heavenly Gods,” Qing Yang Heavenly God shook his head.

From what he had seen and heard along the way, he realized the vastness of the world; even a Heavenly God was nothing special here.

Earlier, he had even heard that people from ancient lands outside the Three Thousand Provinces had arrived, and there were also Disciples of the Chang Sheng Family residing in this city.

What was a Chang Sheng Family?

Originally, he didn't understand, but after experiencing the Immortal Ancient Era, he comprehended much. This meant that the ancestors of that clan had produced True Immortals, and Immortal Blood flowed within their bodies.

Needless to say, such a force was incredibly powerful, its foundation so profound it was unimaginable, far beyond what great sects could contend with.

However, Lin Fan would not fear these people, nor would he be overly cautious. He said, “Brother, you rest for a bit. I’ll go out and walk around.”

…

The city was ancient and rustic, covered in dense runes, shimmering with dark light, like a black pearl nestled here, radiating brilliance.

On the streets, people came and went, carriages and horses flowed like water, and the shouts of vendors, all Cultivators, could be heard from time to time, making it very lively.

Lin Fan frequented these places because he could best gather useful information and sometimes even unearth supreme treasures.

It was said that someone had once found a fragment of an Immortal Artifact by chance.

At first, it was just an ordinary black metal piece, but after scraping off the surface grime, it turned out to be a damaged artifact crafted from Immortal Gold.

“Young man, you’re not simple. To have such cultivation at your age, would you like to buy something? Perhaps with good luck, you might uncover a supreme treasure.”

An old man spoke, his hair white, but his large eyes were sharp and piercing, even more so than many young people.

Lin Fan was surprised; this grey-robed old man was definitely not simple. He then stopped, lowered his head to look at his stall, and was instantly dumbfounded.

Because it was so dilapidated, as if it hadn't been visited in many years, just like the man himself, full of vicissitudes.

Moreover, he didn't have many items, only a dozen or so, all sealed in clay pots, their exteriors making it difficult to discern what was inside.

So, out of politeness and respect, he still asked, “Senior, could you please introduce what treasures are inside these clay pots?”

“Oh, my items are not simple. Some were unearthed from Immortal Mansions, some originally came from dangerous forbidden zones…

Among them are no lack of precious techniques, divine weapons, etc., but what exactly you can get depends on your luck, young friend,” the grey-robed old man said.

Lin Fan was speechless; wasn't this just opening a blind box? What if he opened an ordinary pebble? Wouldn't he be a fool then?
