I have a city in another world

Chapter 6834 Advancement to the Eighth Rank
This time, the stop was a magnificent manor, covering an area of ​​about seventy hectares.

Oren City is an extremely valuable place; an ordinary person would need to spend half a lifetime's savings to buy a house there.

There are many skyscrapers in Oren City, most of which are over thirty stories high. They are inhabited by ordinary people and a small number of middle-class people.

The wealthy and those who practice spiritual cultivation live in single-story villas, which are detached houses with their own courtyards.

Most poor people and the poor choose underground buildings, and the deeper the building, the cheaper it is.

Every day during rush hour, countless figures emerge from the roads leading to the underground buildings, like a colony of industrious ants.

After the spaceship landed, the mercenary group's cultivators began to rest, while Tang Zhen moved into a four-story building.

He will wait here to meet with a senior executive of the Chamber of Commerce to discuss the upcoming transactions.

This is a big deal, and we have to meet in person to discuss it.

The chamber of commerce executives are extremely busy, with endless tasks every day, making it impossible for ordinary people to have any contact with them.

The reason they were willing to meet with Tang Zhen was because of his special identity and the powerful backer behind him.

Otherwise, no matter how big the deal, the chamber of commerce executives might not personally come forward.

It is no exaggeration to say that a chamber of commerce of this size never lacks business, let alone opportunities to make money.

Even if they couldn't make money off Tang Zhen, they could make up for it elsewhere, so the chamber of commerce executives would never feel regret or remorse.

According to the appointment date, Tang Zhen still needs to wait seven days.

It just so happens that Tang Zhen is in a critical period of cultivation and absorption during this time, so waiting a while won't hurt.

In the tranquil manor amidst the hustle and bustle, Tang Zhen began to cultivate himself, absorbing the energy from the fragments of divinity.

With continued absorption, Tang Zhen's realm improved rapidly, and he has now reached the seventh-order shackle.

Once the breakthrough is achieved, one can smoothly advance to become an eighth-level cultivator.

The obstacles that cultivators face in advancing to higher levels are meaningless to Tang Zhen; he can overcome them with ease.

The only thing to worry about is that the rapid advancement in one's realm might lead to problems with one's mental state.

Tang Zhen had experienced far more dangers and setbacks than ordinary cultivators, which made his mental state and cultivation extremely resilient and strong.

Even so, one must still take a very serious approach to a leap in one's realm.

Even the slightest oversight can lead to unpredictable consequences, and may even endanger one's life.

The road to transcendence is fraught with hardship and thorns, and the roadside is littered with countless corpses.

If you want to take a shortcut, you have to pay a price; that's only natural.

Tang Zhen didn't care about the external situation at all, and it wouldn't affect his cultivation.

When he decided to hold the auction, he had already guessed that this situation would occur, but he still carried out the plan without hesitation.

Of course, when faced with a problem, we must find a solution, rather than leaving everything to fate.

Combat is a means of solving problems, and utilizing various resources to find ways to resolve problems is also a means.

Solving problems through exchange without bloodshed is actually a superior approach.

While direct and straightforward combat is the best option, Tang Zhen had long realized this.

High-class private estates are naturally extraordinary in terms of decoration and furnishings. The room where Tang Zhen is staying has a magic array set up to isolate noise and chaotic energy.

The cost of building an isolation array is comparable to that of a civilian high-rise building, not including the costs of its operation and maintenance.

The gap between the rich and the common people is far greater than ordinary people imagine. Therefore, sometimes, being sober is painful, and knowing the true gap can be even more despairing.

Tang Zhen couldn't be bothered to even consider the issue of fairness or unfairness regarding this wealth gap. Looking across the myriad realms, wherever there were intelligent beings, there were similar or identical problems.

It has been discussed and studied by countless people, but has never been truly solved.

Only in the divine kingdom, where the gods created and established the rules, can such phenomena be completely eradicated.

However, such fairness is meaningless and has no possibility of being promoted or learned from.

As the magic array activated, the room was isolated from the outside world, entering a relatively tranquil state.

In this environment, Tang Zhen released the seal within his body, and a terrifying and domineering aura instantly erupted.

The items in the room were instantly on the verge of collapse due to the impact of this force.

If this force is not controlled, not only will the items in the house be damaged, but the entire building and even the manor may be reduced to ashes in the impact of the eruption.

In a split second, a wondrous yet resilient force perfectly suppressed the eruption of this domineering power.

They were locked in a fierce battle, neither willing to yield, yet they were right at the brink of destruction.

Destruction is a watershed moment; taking a step forward or backward represents the beginning of life.

Life contains death, and death contains life; yin gives rise to yang, and yang gives rise to yin. This is actually a manifestation of shackles.

Like a python shedding its skin, or a withered tree sprouting new branches, breaking free from constraints often signifies rebirth.

What Tang Zhen needs to do is suppress and dissolve the power of death, transforming it into his own vitality.

This process is extremely risky, requiring exquisite control and unwavering confidence.

Fortunately, Tang Zhen never lacked these essential conditions, nor did he ever regard these constraints as challenges.

This time, however, the situation is indeed somewhat special, and he has no choice but to take it seriously.

The power within the fragments of divinity was indeed terrifyingly strong, but the power wielded by Tang Zhen was even greater.

According to Tang Zhen's estimate, once fully released, it would destroy about a third of the city of Oren.

However, such a situation would mean that Tang Zhen would be completely annihilated, and the artifact that breaks the rules would be destroyed.

Having greater power, one will naturally be more at ease when facing such energy impacts.

Under Tang Zhen's control, this fierce and violent force was calmed down without any major incident.

At this moment, Tang Zhen's aura became even deeper and more solemn, like a solid mountain.

However, upon closer examination, one will discover that beneath this sense of heaviness lies an exceptionally violent power.

Like a restless volcano, it could erupt at any moment, causing devastating destruction.

This change in aura indicates that Tang Zhen has successfully advanced and become a true eighth-level cultivator.

The leap from the seventh to the eighth rank has blocked countless cultivators, who have been unable to break through smoothly throughout their lives.

Even if you manage to break through successfully, it will take a lot of time to continuously accumulate and improve until you complete the final crucial step.

Such a rapid advancement from the seventh to the eighth rank is extremely rare in the cultivation world.

There are similar methods of improvement, but they have many hidden dangers and can cause irreversible damage to cultivators.

Tang Zhen was different. Although his improvement was extremely rapid, there were no hidden dangers. He could be described as flawless.

If any hidden dangers exist, they will be repaired as well, thus forming a truly perfect foundation.

Tang Zhen, who had just completed his advancement, was preparing to select a few spells suitable for an eighth-level cultivator when he suddenly heard a violent explosion outside.

The next instant, the house he was in was violently broken open, and two figures barged in forcefully.
