Chapter 839 Cloud Wasteland Immortal City
Chapter 839 Cloud Wasteland Immortal City
Yunhuang Immortal City is the largest immortal city in the northern part of Yunhuang, undoubtedly the number one immortal city, and a place that all cultivators in the northern part of Yunhuang yearn for.
The entire Yunhuang Immortal City is located at the southernmost tip of the northern border of Yunhuang. It is less than 10,000 miles south to reach the Chaos Void Sea.
Yunhuang Immortal City was indeed the largest immortal city Chen Yunhao had ever seen; he had never seen such a grand immortal city in his entire life.
The city here stretches for over a hundred miles, built on a vast plain, and has a population of nearly two million.
The majority of people here are cultivators, with only a small number of ordinary people.
It is extremely difficult for a mortal to survive in such a large immortal city.
As the saying goes, living in the capital is not easy; the larger the city, the greater the expenses.
Therefore, most of the mortals in the city are relatives or vassals of cultivators and immortals.
This place can be called a true immortal city. Although most of the cultivators are below the Tribulation Transcending stage, there are at least three or four hundred thousand cultivators above the Immortal Realm.
This is the true paradise for immortals; almost everything an immortal needs for cultivation can be bought here.
Speaking of Yunhuang Immortal City, we must mention the power behind it. To be able to build and operate such a large immortal city, one can imagine how powerful the power behind it must be.
The Wuwang Immortal Sect is the largest immortal sect on the northern continent of Yunhuang, ruling over an area spanning over ten million miles.
This is a directly governed territory. Strictly speaking, all forces in the entire northern border of Yunhuang must obey the orders of the Wuwang Immortal Sect.
Of course, the entire northern border of Yunhuang is too vast. No matter how powerful the Wuwang Immortal Sect is, it is impossible for them to extend their reach to every corner.
The entire Wuwang Immortal Sect has more than 100,000 members, and the most powerful one is an ancestor in the late stage of Golden Immortal.
The Golden Immortals are already among the most powerful group in the northern border of Yunhuang, and it is said that their total number does not exceed one palm's width.
The Wuwang Immortal Sect, however, has two Golden Immortal Ancestors, dozens of Celestial Immortals, not to mention Earth Immortals, numbering in the tens of thousands.
As for cultivators below the Tribulation Transcending stage, there are over 100,000 of them, along with countless vassal families and sects.
It can be said that the Wuwang Immortal Sect is a force that can shake the entire northern part of Yunhuang with a single stomp of its foot.
These were all pieces of information that Chen Yunhao learned after entering the city.
Although he had inquired about a lot of information along the way, it wasn't until he actually arrived at Yunhuang Immortal City that he realized how vast the city was and how powerful the Wuwang Immortal Sect was.
After leaving Anfeng Immortal City, Chen Yunhao spent fifteen years and countless hardships traversing millions of miles to finally arrive at his destination.
Even though Chen Yunhao had been in the Immortal Realm for decades, he was still shocked when he first entered Yunhuang Immortal City.
What amazes me most about this place is its prosperity, and even more so, the fact that immortals are so cheap and commonplace here.
Thinking back to how difficult it was for me to become an immortal, I realize how difficult it is for cultivators in the lower realms to ascend to immortality!
But here, immortals are just like ordinary cultivators, everywhere you look, and they're practically worthless.
However, since it is the Immortal Realm, the territory is vast, there are many cultivators, and various cultivation techniques can directly reach the Immortal Realm, so it is easier for native cultivators of the Immortal Realm to become immortals.
With such a large base of cultivators and such innate advantages, the number of immortals in the Immortal Realm is indeed very large.
This is only the northern border of Yunhuang. It is said that in other areas of the Immortal Realm, in the territories controlled by humans, the number of immortals is even more numerous.
So after entering the city, Chen Yunhao's feeling changed. He felt that immortals were just like that, just like cultivating in the lower realm, another cycle of reincarnation.
Immortals are merely more powerful ants; in this world, their fate is not in their own hands.
After more than a decade of continuous travel, Chen Yunhao was physically and mentally exhausted, but fortunately he had arrived at Yunhuang Immortal City and was ready to rest for a while.
Over the past ten years or so, he has not only been traveling, but also occasionally stopping when passing through some immortal cities to exchange his unlimited low-level resources for immortal stones.
Moreover, the further south he went, the denser the celestial aura became, so while traveling, he also did two other things.
Of course, this was all guided by the artifact spirit; otherwise, he really wouldn't have known.
One was the floating island from before, which used to be his private backyard, where he grew all sorts of rare spiritual herbs and plants that he had collected in the lower realm.
Even now, the floating island is still lush and green, with at least tens of thousands of kinds of spiritual herbs and plants that can be used at any time.
Of course, there are only a few of each type, just a few plants. When needed, Chen Yunhao would use the ancient mirror to replicate them in large quantities. That's where his resources come from.
The first thing the spirit told him was that he could introduce a large amount of immortal energy to gradually replace all the spiritual energy on the floating island with immortal energy.
The advantage of doing this is that it will no longer be called Spirit Island, but Immortal Island.
Those spiritual herbs and plants will slowly absorb the immortal energy, and over time they will change, their level will increase, and they will become immortal medicines.
Once it becomes a divine medicine, it can naturally be used to refine elixirs, increasing its value dozens of times.
The process of introducing celestial energy is not quick; it requires gradual replacement to allow the medicinal herbs and plants to adapt.
If too much energy is introduced at once, the medicinal herbs and plants will wither and die due to the sudden increase in energy.
So, as he traveled along, he gradually replaced the spiritual energy on the entire floating island with immortal energy over more than a decade.
Over the next few years, these spiritual herbs and plants will gradually transform into immortal herbs and trees; that day will not be long.
The second thing is still his other space, the Qiankun Tree Space.
Although there are some medicinal herbs there, they are not many. The main things there are various rare spiritual trees and spirits.
Especially the spirits, who have followed him for many years and have always lived in the Qiankun Tree space, and of course, they have helped him a lot in the past.
However, as his cultivation level improved, the spirits became less useful.
Of course, it is still somewhat useful to him now. For example, some of the spiritual fruits he takes out to exchange for immortal stones come from spirits.
For plant and tree spirits to cultivate into immortals is an even more arduous undertaking, requiring ten or even dozens of times the time of human cultivators to complete.
So even though the oldest spirits in the Qiankun Tree space are already forty or fifty thousand years old, their highest cultivation level is only at the Mahayana stage.
To progress from Mahayana cultivation to the Tribulation Transcending stage, or even to becoming a plant immortal, would require at least ten thousand years.
This is what the spirits themselves said, not Chen Yunhao's guess.
The spirit instructed Chen Yunhao to gradually replace the spiritual energy in the Qiankun Tree space with immortal energy, all in order to increase the speed of the spirit's cultivation.
It can also improve the level of the Qiankun Tree, because the Qiankun Tree is constantly growing, and its growth has almost no upper limit, it's just that the time is too long.
Whether it's the Qiankun Tree or these spirits, they will all be Chen Yunhao's source of confidence in the future. Improving their cultivation will only bring benefits and no harm.
