Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month.

"It is said that there are dozens of ancient teleportation arrays like this in the Sky City's territory, located in different regions. They are very large in scale, and each teleportation array is connected to the others. You can even use these teleportation arrays to travel to the lower realms, that is, to the realms below the Spirit Realm. You can go anywhere."

When Chen Ye learned of this, he was also inexplicably shocked.

After all, the scale of this teleportation array is simply too large, and it can go anywhere, not just point-to-point teleportation, but also according to one's own will, to go to the place one wants to go.

Of course, what's more painful is...

Each use of this teleportation array costs more than a dozen gold coins, and this high cost has become a barrier.

and so.

Those who can come to the teleportation array are basically high-ranking natives, probably middle-class in status and position in Sky City, which is why they come to this place.

therefore.

Chen Ye sensed that the natives of this area were all quite powerful, and some of them were even comparable to Wan Yi, which Chen Ye found somewhat exaggerated.

"Wan Yi should be at the top of the Prodigy Ranking, so why are there so many others here whose strength is no weaker than Wan Yi's?"

Chen Ye looked at the Jade Void Daoist beside him and asked quietly.

The Jade Void Daoist had the best relationship with toys, so when he heard the question, he didn't seem to care much and calmly replied:

“Wan Yi is still quite young, not even a hundred years old. In our Sky City, he's considered one of the younger generation. To have such terrifying strength without having cultivated for so long is already quite remarkable.”

"I see." Chen Ye nodded, somewhat speechless. "So Wan Yi isn't even over a hundred years old yet? That's something I really didn't expect!"

After all, Wan Yi's aura was quite aged, and he liked to refer to himself as "this old man." This aged appearance was quite common in Sky City.

As human beings, we all prefer the image of the elderly, as it appears more authoritative.

Of course.

The existence of Sky City allows people to customize their appearance and characteristics, as they exist in this area as spirits. Therefore, people here do not value their appearance much, but rather pursue their inner spiritual qualities.

The image of an old man implies a vast and ancient inner meaning, so most of the beings in Sky City present themselves as old Taoist priests, with an air of otherworldly wisdom. Although their appearance may be somewhat aged, most of them look quite energetic.

It's like elderly people who are unwilling to succumb to the passage of time and want to appear energetic.

The group walked forward and arrived at the area of ​​the teleportation array.

at this time.

A soft yet lively voice came from the side:

"Wan Yi, so you're here. Are you here to use the teleportation array too?"

Chen Ye and the others turned around and saw a beautiful young woman with long red hair, delicate and youthful features, who looked to be only fourteen years old. She was lively, cute, and full of energy, waving at Wan Yi as she walked over.

"Nine Phoenix Girl, I didn't expect you to be here too!"

The Jade Void Taoist smiled and said.

"Yes, I was just planning to go to the Holy Mountain. Where are you planning to go?"

Jiufeng asked curiously.

"What a coincidence." Daoist Yuxu smiled and shook his head. "We are also preparing to go to the Holy Mountain. Are you alone?"

"No, that's not it... I came with my family members."

As Jiufeng said this, her expression showed some regret. It was clear that she would have preferred to act with Wanyi.

"Alright, if you want to follow Wan Yi, then go ahead. Just remember not to cause trouble in the Holy Mountain. If you encounter any problems, contact us immediately using the Transmission Pearl."

Just then, a middle-aged man with a dark brown robe, a middle-aged face, and an extraordinary demeanor suddenly walked up from behind. He had a long black beard and strode over, smiling as he spoke.

"Patriarch Fengshan, how have you been?"

Upon seeing the patriarch, Wan Yi's expression immediately turned serious, and he bowed politely.

"Haha, Wan Yi, so many years have passed, and you're still so reserved with us."

The head of the Fengshan family smiled, took out his fan, and began to fan himself.

"After all, we must never forget the life-saving grace we received back then," Wan Yi said with a serious expression.

"Alright, it's just a small favor. You don't need to worry about it for so long. Jiufeng wants to go with you. Can you take good care of her?" The Fengshan family head narrowed his eyes.

"no problem."

Wan Yi immediately nodded in agreement, while giving Jiu Feng a complicated look.

Jiufeng suddenly felt shy and quickly looked away, not daring to look Wan Yi in the eye.

"It seems like your relationship is quite special!"

Upon seeing this, Chen Ye couldn't help but smile, immediately realizing that there must be some complicated emotional entanglement involved.

"All right."

The head of the Fengshan family laughed and said, "In that case, we'll leave Jiufeng to you. We'll head to the Holy Mountain first; you'll probably have to wait in line for a while."

He glanced at Jiu Feng and continued to ask:

“Jiufeng, are you willing to wait a little longer? I can give you the teleportation coins first, but you need to act with Wanyi and the others.”

Jiufeng hesitated for a moment, then her gaze fell on the object, and she said:

"I want to act with Brother Wanyi."

"Well, after all, Wan Yi has taught you quite a bit before. Your current Daoist techniques are actually more compatible with his. When you go to the Holy Mountain this time, you must listen to his instructions. If anything goes wrong, send us a message immediately, and we will come to find you right away. Do you understand?"

The head of the Fengshan family said in a serious tone.

"Yes, Jiufeng understands."

"Nine Phoenixes said obediently. This Fengshan family head's strength is quite extraordinary..."

Chen Ye thought to himself.

His unique talent, [Blood Letter Research], was originally intended for use on the head of the Fengshan family, but he couldn't obtain any information. He also possessed a special ability that allowed him to isolate himself from many influences.

"Taoist Yuxu, who is that? Wan Yi seems to respect him a lot?"

Unable to use the exclusive talent of [Blood Letter Research] to obtain this information, Chen Ye decided to be more direct and ask Daoist Yuxu about the specifics.

He was genuinely interested in the Sky City.

After all, there are just too many experts in this place, and unexpected things happen every day.

and so.

Chen Ye planned to figure out this place first before proceeding with his next strategy.

“Fengshan, that’s where Wan Yi was taken in back then. After all, Wan Yi was born from a wisp of spiritual energy in Sky City. He had no background to rely on, but he showed remarkable talent for cultivation from a young age.”

"But just when he had learned to cultivate, he encountered some evil forces in Sky City who wanted to find Wan Yi and refine him as a talent. After all, Wan Yi was a virgin and had extraordinary talent. If he could be refined into a great medicine, it would be a great tonic for everyone in Sky City at that time."

"But at that time, a senior from Fengshan passed by this place and encountered such injustice. He was furious and chased away those guys who wanted to refine Wanyi!"

"And then..."

"We noticed Wan Yi's extraordinary talent for cultivation, so we took him in and kept him in the Fengshan family to cultivate."

Hearing this, Chen Ye roughly understood what was going on and couldn't help but sigh:
"I never expected such a thing to happen... It seems that the Fengshan family must be a very good place."

"It's more than just good!" Daoist Yuxu laughed. "The Fengshan family can be considered one of the top ten families in the entire Northern Territory, and they have a certain alliance with the Tulip family. Although it's not very deep, it's not bad either."

"So it's related to the Tulip Family?" This was something Chen Ye hadn't expected.

"It wasn't that deep, just some business dealings, nothing to brag about."

Master Yuxu smiled and shook his head: "I didn't expect you to know the Tulip Clan Head. Your relationship with the Tulip Clan must be quite deep, right?"

“There is a dojo, located on the edge of the Tulip Family area, but it’s not very deep,” Chen Ye said.

"That's not true!"

Master Yuxu shook his head and said, “We all know that the Tulip Family’s territory is very strictly controlled. Generally, there are very few outsiders who can enter that place. You are definitely not a member of the Tulip Family. Your abilities and aura are completely different from those of the Tulip Family. But since you can have your own dojo within the Tulip Family’s territory, you must be quite extraordinary.”

"Is that so?" This was the first time Chen Ye had heard of such things.

"Yes, anyway, young friend, if you have a relationship with the Tulip Clan Head, you can definitely establish yourself easily in Sky City." Daoist Yuxu looked at Chen Ye with some envy.

He didn't know why he had this thought—that with Chen Ye's conditions, he would actually live a better life in Sky City than in Wan Yi!
Although Wan Yi's current situation is closely related to the Fengshan family, from the perspective of Yu Xu Dao Ren, who has lived to such an old age, it is not necessarily a good thing.

They are easily tied up and can't go anywhere.

However, the head of the Fengshan family seemed to have a cheerful personality and generally wouldn't take these things to heart, which made Daoist Yuxu feel slightly relieved.

The group arrived at the teleportation array and lined up.

Each queue takes a considerable amount of time, as the existence of Sky City can be described as endless, and there are many people who can afford to pay a dozen or so gold coins for teleportation.

and so.

Entering Sky City and using its teleportation array is no easy feat.

Moreover, many beings need to go to the lower realm to take care of certain matters.

Once you're down there, getting back up is going to be a real hassle.

After all, the Sky City's towering staircase is not something anyone can walk through; its area is simply too vast.

Fortunately, Chen Ye possessed the ability of the [Spirit Angel], which allowed him to fly very fast in the Spirit Realm. However, he could not use this flying ability freely within the Sky City.

During the queue, Wan Yi and Jiu Feng remained silent, as if they weren't very familiar with each other.

But those familiar with Wan Yi know that he has a special feeling for Jiu Feng.

However, this feeling is not that between lovers, but rather the bond between master and disciple, since Jiu Feng cultivated alongside Wan Yi back then.

Wan Yi also did his utmost to support Jiu Feng, who grasped all the cultivation techniques instantly.

Therefore, Jiu Feng can be said to be the closest relative to Wan Yi. In Sky City, this often means the greatest danger, because the Fengshan family can use Jiu Feng to record everything Wan Yi has learned and can target him at any time, which is equivalent to leaving a handle on him.

However, Jiu Feng's feelings for Wan Yi were even deeper. Under normal circumstances, she would never reveal these things to anyone, not even her own father, the head of the Fengshan family.

Chen Ye didn't think the relationship involved was that simple.

After all, as a large family, there are bound to be many things to consider. Someone as talented as Wan Yi would naturally want to stay within the family and develop his career there.

But judging from Wan Yi's current situation, he has chosen to leave the Fengshan family. There must be some complicated hidden reasons behind this, which is not as simple as imagined.

"The power struggles in Sky City are much more complicated than I imagined. Fortunately, I have some connections with the Tulip Clan Head. As long as I stay within the Tulip Clan's territory, there won't be any problems."

Chen Ye shook his head. Through these small details, he could tell that the forces in Sky City were intricate and extremely difficult to control.

To survive here, one must either cultivate good relationships, possess great strength, or have a powerful backer.

all in all.

Surviving in this place is not an easy thing.

"The teleportation array is still as crowded as ever. With so many people queuing up here, it's really not an easy thing to get to the front of the line."

Looking at the long queue, Daoist Dongxu couldn't help but sigh.

"It's really not easy."

At this moment, Jiufeng couldn't help but speak as well. Her voice was as melodious as a nightingale's, and it seemed as if she were enveloped in an aura that carried her voice far, making it quite unique. It showcased the advantages of her voice while also exuding a refined elegance. (End of Chapter)
