"This is the ancient city of Zhongzhou? So magnificent, grand! Majestic!"
Coming out from the teleportation array, seeing the Zhongzhou ancient city, as well as the Yuhua Sect's nation deep within the middle of the ancient city, the shock in Fang Han's heart truly could not be described with words.
A city like paradise, with vast mansions and tall buildings everywhere not to speak of, ten thousand rays of rosy light, thousands of auspicious energies, and the ground was almost all paved using precious Heavenly Crystal Stones.
Some of the buildings inside the city were manifested from combinations of many Immortal Artifacts.
Obviously, those were buildings meant to intimidate the scene, belonging to a super large sect with abundant strength. Fang Han even saw that, inside the ancient city, there were some exceptionally tall buildings reaching deep into infinite space-time, emitting the same aura as the "Fuxi Diagram," which was the aura of the "Ancestor," something that only High-grade Immortal Artifacts could possess.
Besides that, every single street in the ancient city of Zhongzhou was longer than the Mang Mountain Range. At a glance, they were all tall buildings, with people coming and going. There were the most ordinary Void Immortals and True Immortals walking on the ground, honestly doing business, acting as slaves, serving others. There were also Heavenly Immortals, a cut above others, flying back and forth in the air.
Furthermore, there were some Divine Immortals and Mystic Immortals with status, surrounded by an entourage.
Half-step Golden Immortal Almighties were not lacking either.
However, Peerless Golden Immortals remained rare.
After all, in the Heavenly Realm, Half-step Golden Immortal Almighties were not lacking, but Peerless Golden Immortals were rare.
Yet as Fang Han sensed slightly with his divine sense, he discovered that inside some tall buildings in the city, there were still the guarding auras of Peerless Golden Immortals. The auras of many peerless powerhouses basically could not be hidden from Fang Han's senses.
"Too spectacular, Fang Han! Too spectacular. That Mang Mountain Range was three hundred and sixty billion of li. But this ancient city of Zhongzhou, just one street is much longer than the Mang Mountain Range. If we stroll around randomly inside, we might not figure it out clearly even if we walk for a year. The Heavenly Realm! Truly prosperous."
Yan was also somewhat dazed from the shock, he had never seen such a gigantic scene either.
The teleportation array of the Zhongzhou ancient city was more than ten times larger than that of the Quanzhou ancient city. Coming out from the Zhongzhou teleportation array were a total of over a million immortals, seemingly a torrent of immortals, but upon entering the bustling Zhongzhou ancient city, they instantly vanished.
Fang Han mingled within the crowd of immortals coming and going, feeling his own insignificance.
In front of this vast ancient city, he had a feeling of aimlessness.
"It is too big, to mold such an ancient city out, I'm afraid only the legendary Heavenly Lords could accomplish it. According to Shang Ziluo's memory, this ancient city of Zhongzhou was forged by a supreme figure of the ancient Heavenly Court, a mysterious expert named 'Heavenly Lord Hua'. Established in the Heavenly Realm, molding infinite spirit veins."
As Fang Han walked in the ancient city of Zhongzhou, he simultaneously used the Zhou Tian Instrument to deduce the spiritual qi in the city and the underground spirit veins, discovering that the underground spirit veins were locked down by powerful restriction laws. Spirit veins like the Ancient Spring of Life crisscrossed like intersecting footpaths.
Even Shang Ziluo did not know exactly how many spirit veins were contained deep beneath the ancient city of Zhongzhou, because the Yuhua Sect was divided into many factions, and each major faction controlled one or several spirit veins, whereas Shang Ziluo's faction was called the "Jiangshan Courtyard," controlling one spirit vein called the "Jiangshan Ancient Well," which was a supreme well converging from tens of gigantic spirit veins equivalent to the Ancient Spring of Life.
"Now, do we directly go to the Yuhua Sect to formally acknowledge a master, or what?" Yan asked, his voice somewhat apprehensive. He was not afraid of the Yuhua Sect in the secular world, but he was very wary of the Yuhua Sect in the Heavenly Realm. With infinite big figures inside, any random one could slap him or even Fang Han to death.
"I calculated it, and it will be three more days before it is the date the Yuhua Sect accepts disciples. By then, rogue cultivators from various great states and numerous geniuses will swarm over. Going then, going right now is of no use."
Fang Han counted the days with his fingers, looking at the eternal hanging Heavenly Realm sun in the sky, planning in his heart.
The sun of the Heavenly Realm, even Fang Han didn't know exactly what kind of existence it was. By logic, the Heavenly Realm was so large that even an astronomical number of stellar suns could not irradiate it, yet the Heavenly Realm's sun existed eternally, able to be seen no matter where one went, as if it were the incarnation of the Great Dao.
Fang Han also wanted to use his divine sense to investigate, but everytime his divine sense rose high into the sky, after hundreds of billions of li, it was directly shattered by violent astral winds, flames, and various heavenly astral atmospheres, while it was still an unknown number of li away from that Heavenly Realm sun.
How high the sky of the Heavenly Realm was, and how thick the earth of the Heavenly Realm was, with Fang Han's current cultivation, he fundamentally could not investigate it clearly.
Moreover, he also currently completely didn't know how to break through the spatial barrier and arrive into the secular world.
"This cultivator? Are you here to participate in the Yuhua Sect's opportunity for recruiting disciples three days later? Why not stay and cultivate in our Hongqi Hall! Watch the changes quietly. In our Hongqi Hall, we can provide various information about this assessment of the Yuhua Sect."
Just as Fang Han was walking and flying aimlessly on the main street, passing by a tall grand mansion, a number of Heavenly Immortals flew out from the door, soliciting guests with earnest tones.
"Hmm?" Fang Han looked at these few Heavenly Immortals. They were young men and women wearing unified uniforms, brimming with spiritual qi and deep in wisdom. If such figures arrived in the secular world, they would be all-powerful figures like the Daoist Master of Dongling, but now, they were nothing more than busboys soliciting guests in a restaurant, a sight that caused one's heart to fill with myriad emotions.
"Alright, residing at the Hongqi Hall it is." Fang Han knew from Shang Ziluo's memory that this Hongqi Hall was opened by a mysterious organization in the ancient city of Zhongzhou. They had branches in many ancient cities and were a cooperative partner with the Yuhua Sect. Every year the Yuhua Sect could receive massive dividends.
This "Hongqi Hall" was not just a restaurant, but also traded in information, magical treasures, pills, having various huge auction venues. Residing in this restaurant could guarantee absolute safety. Even if a Peerless Golden Immortal wanted to kill you, they would have to wait for you to come out. Moreover, countless magical treasures that couldn't see the light of day could all be traded.
As long as it was an item of value, "Hongqi Hall" could take it all. As long as you could afford the price, Hongqi Hall dared to do anything for you.
Even including "Assassinations!"
However, staying in the Hongqi Hall was also extremely expensive, requiring tens of thousands of Primordial Pills a day, something even ordinary Mystic Immortals could not afford to consume. There were also VIP rooms, a hundred thousand Primordial Pills per day.
Think about it, that Mystic Immortal expert "Daoist Xuanzhen" accumulated an uncountable number of years just to accumulate several hundreds of thousands of Primordial Pills, which would be gone after staying for just a few days.
"This Senior, may I ask your honorable name?" Upon seeing Fang Han indicated he wanted to stay in the Hongqi Hall, the few Heavenly Immortal men and women could not help but beam with smiles, even changing their form of address.
"I am called Feng Yuan, and indeed I came this time to participate in the Yuhua Sect's disciple recruitment assembly. Before this, I must prepare thoroughly to cultivate to my optimal state, hoping to enter the Yuhua Sect." Fang Han nodded, following the several disciples and walking into the Hongqi Hall.
As soon as he entered, heaven and earth shifted, space solidified, wisps of immortal qi hung around, it was another elegant nation. To this, Fang Han was already widely experienced and not surprised.
"Senior, with your cultivation, presumably there will be no problems. After entering the Yuhua Sect, your identity and status will leap tens of thousands of zhang. In the future, seize a position as a Heavenly Court Inspector Envoy, act as a hegemon of a state, holding massive power."
A young woman complimented: "But preparing is necessary. In our Hongqi Hall, we provide all sorts of information, even the information of these Yuhua Sect examining officers. Does Senior Feng want to take a look?"
"I already know these pieces of information." Fang Han waved his hand. "Arrange a quiet room for me, I want that kind of VIP quiet room, the one for a hundred thousand Primordial Pills a day."
"What? Senior wants to stay in such an expensive cultivation quiet room?" The several men and women were all shocked: "Could it be Senior has stayed at our Hongqi Hall before?"
"You could say that." Fang Han smiled, appearing unfathomable, and casually tossed, tossing out a cloth bag, which contained three hundred thousand Primordial Pills: "I will stay for three days first, later I will go to your auction house to buy and sell some items."
"Yes, yes, yes, Senior Feng, I will go arrange it for you immediately."
The several young men Heavenly Immortals took the Primordial Pills and hurriedly left, while the several female Heavenly Immortals closed in, very enthusiastic, with stars in their eyes, wishing they could press themselves onto Fang Han's body, seeking one night of pleasure to earn massive Primordial Pills.
Several hundreds of thousands of Primordial Pills were nothing to Fang Han, but to these Heavenly Immortals, they couldn't accumulate that much in a lifetime.
Fang Han remained emotionally unmoved, reverting to his wooden, rigid appearance, directly having these people arrange a cultivation quiet room for himself.
The cultivation quiet room costing a hundred thousand Primordial Pills a day was indeed extremely enjoyable. It was a broad nation, where a strange fragrance pervaded the nation, making all inner demons and distracting thoughts completely eliminated after smelling it. Furthermore, it could consolidate the Immortal Dao Laws in the body.
The first thing Fang Han saw was a huge bright lamp in the quiet room, and the fragrance was emitted from above it.
The fuel used upon that bright lamp was something resembling golden fat.
That golden fat looked like the flesh and blood of a Buddha from the Buddhist World.
"Fang Han, this is Buddha fat! This is Buddha fat!" Yan cried out: "The fat on the body of a Buddha, after undergoing a thousand temperings and refinalments, and then burning to produce fragrance, is the ultimate supreme among fragrances between heaven and earth. It has a crucial function for any cultivation of the mind. This Hongqi Hall has such grand means! To actually capture Buddhas in the Buddhist World, burning and making them into Buddha fat bright lamps."
"Indeed it is a grand means…" Fang Han nodded, "Every year the Heavenly Realm and the Buddhist World go to war, with quite a lot of casualties on both sides. This Hongqi Hall evidently has special channels to procure corpses of Buddhas from the commanders of the Heavenly Court, decocting and refining them into Buddha fat to serve as lamp oil. Unfortunately, there are too few Buddha fat lamps here, there is only one lamp, and moreover this lamp oil is merely Buddha fat refined from Heavenly Immortal level Buddhas. The benefit to me is not large. If it were the Buddha fat of a Golden Immortal Buddha, that would be precious. After I acquired it, the Great Karma Technique would evolve all sorts of marvels."
