Chapter 828 Play hard to get
Chen Yunhao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, looked back at the rocky Gobi Desert behind him, and felt a pang of guilt.
The fierce winds and endless yellow sand of this rocky Gobi Desert did not pose much danger to him, but it was the easiest place to lose one's way.
Although Chen Yunhao took out the Dingbei Pan (a compass for determining the north-south direction), it did have some effect, but the strong winds seemed to affect the compass's positioning.
In short, even with the North-Stabilizing Plate, he was still trapped in the gale for three or four hours.
To withstand the raging sandstorm, he consumed three or four hundred Vajra Talismans, and even two of the top-grade spiritual treasure shields he used to resist the celestial lightning.
This shows just how powerful the gale and sandstorm were; those below the level of immortals had virtually no chance of survival.
At this moment, Chen Yunhao dared not be arrogant at all. He was indeed an immortal, but among the immortals in this immortal realm, he was at the bottom.
He shouldn't get arrogant with his current strength. The seemingly insignificant rocky Gobi Desert taught him a real lesson.
Having crossed this rocky Gobi Desert, we were now halfway to that fairy city.
Thinking back to when he was in the lower realm, he could fly over a mere 200,000 li in half a day.
Who would have thought that once they arrived in the Immortal Realm, the territory was even more vast, yet their travel speed slowed down considerably.
This gave him a feeling of returning to the time when he was refining Qi and establishing his foundation, a state he was in when he went out to train.
I felt like I was in a dangerous place everywhere, with opponents stronger than myself everywhere, making it difficult to move forward.
Chen Yunhao took out the map and checked it carefully again; the direction was correct.
Further ahead, there were still over 100,000 li to go, and there were some dangerous areas, but for their immortal cultivation level, it was like a smooth road.
Chen Yunhao completed the rest of the journey smoothly in just half a day.
From a distance of dozens of miles, Chen Yunhao could see a fairy city standing on the plain.
This immortal city is indeed several times larger than the Jiang Clan's immortal city, which means it is more prosperous and has more cultivators.
This geographical location alone shows that the Jiang Clan Immortal City is located in the Xiao Mi Mountains, a small area with scarce resources, destined to never grow large.
But the immortal city before us is surrounded by plains for tens of thousands of miles. Whether it is rich in resources or not is another matter, but it is a major transportation route. This alone is enough to support an immortal city.
A surge of joy welled up in Chen Yunhao's heart. Humans are social beings. Although cultivators like to stay away from people and cultivate in seclusion, they will eventually return to the community.
No one can become an immortal on their own. No matter how talented you are, you can't become an immortal by trying to figure it out on your own.
In a celestial city like this, there must be at least two or more immortals.
This time, Chen Yunhao landed directly at the city gate, making no attempt to conceal his aura, and walked into the Immortal City with an open and generous manner.
He already knew the name of this immortal city; it was clearly marked on the map: Qingxuan City.
This city is controlled by the Qingxuan Sect, which is one of the top sects in the surrounding tens of thousands of miles. There are two immortals in the sect.
Chen Yunhao didn't know the exact level of cultivation of these two immortals, but he would find out soon.
Because Chen Yunhao's aura was not concealed, even if he didn't release his divine sense, he could sense the presence of another immortal within dozens of miles.
Therefore, when Chen Yunhao was outside the city gate, he sensed that there was indeed an immortal in the city. After he crossed the city gate, he felt a divine sense sweep over him and then disappear.
Chen Yunhao didn't care; this was something he did on purpose.
There are no restrictions on anyone entering or leaving the Immortal City, and he did not violate any rules.
Chen Yunhao walked around several main streets in the city, still searching for the shop that specialized in selling classic books.
It was indeed a large immortal city, with two shops selling various books, one in the south and one in the north.
He wanted all the books related to the immortal realm.
He knew absolutely nothing about the Immortal Realm, including its unique spiritual herbs and materials, even some pill formulas, as well as its customs and traditions.
Of course, he wouldn't buy the same maps he had already collected.
These shops also sell maps, but they don't seem to cover a wide area, at most a radius of tens of thousands of miles.
This kind of map is sufficient for low-level cultivators, but it is far from enough for Chen Yunhao.
He wanted to collect a map of the entire northern border of Yunhuang, or at least a map covering a distance of tens of millions of miles.
However, it's wishful thinking to think that you can collect them through this kind of shop. Judging from the jade slips I just collected, eight or nine out of ten of them are ordinary.
As Chen Yunhao walked out of the second shop, he glanced at the city center again, seemingly unintentionally.
Only immortals possess more detailed and larger maps.
While strolling around the street just now, I saw an inn and decided to stay there for the night.
Since entering the Immortal Realm, he has also tried to cultivate. Although the immortal energy here is very thin, it is still immortal energy. As long as he cultivates, it will have an effect, it's just a matter of how fast the effect is.
Chen Yunhao had just ascended to immortality, so he wasn't in a hurry to cultivate. There was no point in being in a hurry, because in the realm of immortals, every small step was measured in thousands or even tens of thousands of years.
This amount of time is nothing to immortals. The reason why everyone wants to cultivate into an immortal is because immortals have long lifespans, ranging from 30,000 to 50,000 years to 100,000 years.
It's inconvenient to cultivate in someone else's immortal city, so Chen Yunhao mainly looked at the newly purchased jade slips.
The jade slips purchased this time were quite diverse, numbering thirty or forty, and included various categories.
For example, there are records of elixirs, recipes for pills, and spiritual materials.
Although they are all low-level, they are suitable for most cultivators below the Golden Core stage to learn.
Chen Yunhao is an ascended cultivator, not a native cultivator, so his understanding of the Immortal Realm is completely blank, and he needs to start from scratch.
This is a learning process; we're gradually getting to know the immortal realm and integrating into it. This process won't be short.
Chen Yunhao stayed at the inn for three days in a row. Since he had already arrived in the Immortal Realm, he wasn't in a hurry.
We need to find a suitable place and settle down eventually.
However, it seems that the northern border of Yunhuang is indeed not a suitable place for cultivation.
Chen Yunhao was incredibly patient, but the immortal who was stationed in the city couldn't stand it anymore.
The fact that this local deity stayed on his own territory for several days without leaving inevitably aroused speculation.
"Would this fellow Daoist be so kind as to come and have a chat?"
On the morning of the fourth day, Chen Yunhao was holding a jade slip in his hand, studying it carefully, when he heard voices beside him.
Chen Yunhao smiled faintly, put away the jade slip, and left directly. This was the moment he had been waiting for.
