After the Skyfall

Chapter 663 Shenmu City

Leaving Beihuang City and heading south, the scenery of the wild world has also undergone many changes.

Near Beihuang City, the climate is cold, with sparse vegetation and rocky mountains everywhere, making it look a bit desolate. But as you go south, the climate becomes noticeably more humid and warmer.

The earth is covered with flowers, plants and trees, and all kinds of exotic beasts appear in the ancient mountains.

Even when Li Yi was flying on the clouds, he was attacked by strange beasts several times. It was only because he flew fast enough and his strength was quite good that nothing happened on the road.

But even so, Li Yi still avoided several dangerous mountains.

This is Nuheng’s reminder.

She said that there are very scary mountain masters in some mountains, and if you approach them rashly, you will be attacked and killed by the mountain masters.

The so-called mountain lord is actually a powerful beast that rules a mountain range. These beasts have wisdom no less than that of humans. When they become strong enough, they will learn from humans to establish their own power.

"Can the divine blood warrior named Daze fight against the mountain master?" Li Yi asked.

"Daze can deal with ordinary mountain masters, but if he encounters a powerful mountain master, he will be killed." Nv Heng said, "Whether a mountain master is powerful depends on how big the area he rules is."

"The bigger the place, the stronger the mountain lord. Our business owner likes to accurately divide the strength of these mountain lords by the number of mountains. The weakest is the one mountain lord, and the strongest is the one hundred mountain lords."

"Daze can kill at most one of the Ten Mountain Lords."

Nuheng told Li Yi a lot of knowledge about the wild world, which benefited him a lot.

"Is there anyone stronger than the Lord of a Hundred Mountains?" Li Yi asked again.

Nv Heng smiled and said, "If you are stronger than a hundred mountain masters, you are no longer a mountain master, but a local god. I have only heard of the existence of local gods, but have never seen one. When I was doing business in the past and passed through the territory of a local god, we had to pay a large amount of tribute to pass safely, otherwise we could not leave the territory of a local god."

At this moment, Li Yi also had a general understanding of the strength of this world.

A strong man in the Three Flowers Realm can only be a master of ten directions at most here. I don’t know whether an enlightened person can rival the master of a hundred mountains.

As for one side god, it is estimated that it has exceeded the upper limit of the world of cultivation in the Dharma Ending Age.

With Nuheng leading the way, Li Yi's journey south was relatively smooth. After avoiding the major dangers, the remaining troubles were not something to worry about.

But the world is vast.

With Li Yi's speed of flying, it took him more than an hour to see a new big city. If it were any other world, he would have already circled the world.

The city is located by the mountains and the water, majestic and magnificent, blending seamlessly with the nearby towering mountains. There are also many ancient trees in the city, each of which is several hundred to thousands of feet high.

And in the middle of this big city, there is a very extraordinary sacred tree.

It is golden all over, emitting brilliant light all the time. This light is warm and comfortable. From a distance, it looks like a sun sitting in this ancient city.

"Shenmu City?"

Li Yi paused slightly and looked at the sacred tree. He was shocked by such a magical thing.

This golden sacred tree is like the Fusang tree in mythology, which can hold up the sun and bring light and warmth to the world.

The reason why this land has spring all year round is probably because of this sacred tree.

Its existence has changed the climate of this world.

"It's not just as simple as simply emitting light and heat. This sacred tree is like a huge wonder, emitting a majestic energy field. Even from such a distance, I can feel the powerful cosmic energy emanating from it."

Li Yi couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Although the cosmic energy in this world is abundant, Beihuang City is just a remote and poor place compared to Shenmu City.

As long as this sacred tree is there, this place will be a holy place for spiritual practice.

Even if you don't know how to practice cultivation, as long as you live nearby and accept the baptism of the luster of this sacred tree, you will become extremely powerful over time and even live longer.

"If I had known there was such a city, I should not have stayed in Beihuang City. I should have come here." Li Yi said to himself.

"Dayi, the city ahead is Shenmu City, a very prosperous city. Many business owners are willing to live here. It is said that people who live in Shenmu City can live a long life and have the opportunity to obtain Shenmu leaves."

Nv Heng stood on the auspicious cloud and looked at the big city in the distance, with a look of relief and joy in her eyes.

Coming here, you don’t have to worry about being hunted down by the Beihuang clan.

Of course, the premise is that you stay in Shenmu City for your whole life. If you leave this city, you will still have to bear the risk of being hunted down.

"The houses here must be very expensive." Li Yi paid attention to something else.

This is probably the characteristic of earthlings.

"In Beihuang City, one hundred gold coins can buy a large house, but here, one thousand gold coins can only buy a small residence. If you want to buy a good house, you need at least ten thousand gold coins." Nuheng said. "Sure enough." Li Yi thought to himself.

Such a good place is naturally very expensive, and this is a truth that will not change in any world.

Continue riding the golden auspicious cloud towards Shenmu City.

The closer he got, the more abundant the cosmic energy became, because he was getting closer and closer to the golden tree. Li Yi fell from the air only when he could see the city gate.

He used the Five Elements Bracelet to release everyone.

"This, this is, Shenmu City?" After Xiu Xiang appeared, he immediately saw the magnificent golden sacred tree in the distance. He immediately opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

Two hours ago he was still in the cell, his life or death unknown, and two hours later he was outside Shenmu City.

Li Yi said: "Xiu Xiang, I have rescued you from Beihuang City. I remember you said that your wife is in Shenmu City, so I brought you here, hoping that you can reunite with your family."

"Dayi." Xiu Xiang was immediately moved. He said, "I will never forget your kindness in my life. Please come with me to Shenmu City so that I can have a chance to repay you."

"Xiu Xiang, you are too polite. I saved you not because I need your reward, but because you helped me before, so I am willing to stand up and help you now." Li Yi said, "This time, I only implicated the merchant girl Heng. She is from the Northern Wasteland lineage, but because she saved you, she will be hunted down by the Northern Wasteland lineage for generations. If you are willing, Xiu Xiang, please help her survive in Shenmu City."

"Thank you, Nuheng." Xiu Xiang then said very seriously: "I owe you a huge favor."

Nuheng smiled slightly: "Don't thank me, I didn't save you, I only helped because of Dayi, and you don't have to repay me, I have some property in Shenmu City, I can survive in the future."

"Whether it is Nüheng or Dayi, you are all my benefactors. I, Xiu Xiang, promise that I will definitely repay you." Xiu Xiang made a solemn promise.

Li Yi said: "Repaying is a matter for the future. Now we have to go to Shenmu City. We may bother you again. After all, we have no place to live now and can only wander around."

"Even if I give away all my fortune, I will still support you all for your whole lives, so please rest assured." Xiu Xiang said.

"That's not necessary." Li Yi smiled, then signaled everyone to continue moving towards Shenmu City.

"I came to Shenmu City when I was young, but I never thought that it would be more than a hundred years later when I came back again." The high priest Dou Kun sighed as he looked at this magical city.

"Shenmu City? It's even bigger than the tree in the middle of Shoushan Village." Shanguo was a little dazed when she saw this big city. She had never seen the world, and the biggest place she had ever been to in her life was Beihuang City.

"A new city." The alien blood warrior Long Yu was still injured, but he felt good looking at this completely different city.

Perhaps we can achieve better results here.

At this moment, the huge Qiuniu was a little restless because it felt the terrible atmosphere in Shenmu City. There were too many things in this big city that could kill it.

It could still cause some trouble in Beihuang City, but if it wasn't careful here it might be easily killed by a strong man passing by.

Everyone headed towards Shenmu City. Soon, soldiers from Shenmu City stood on both sides near the city gate, stopping people from entering the city. Each person who entered the city gave a piece of blue gold as the entry fee.

"To enter Shenmu City, everyone needs to pay a blue gold coin. This is the rule set by the city lord and cannot be violated. Otherwise, you will be driven away or even killed by the warriors of Shenmu City." Xiu Xiang said.

"So that's how it is." Li Yi nodded and understood such rules.

He paid the fee to enter the city, one piece of cyan gold per person, but Qiuniu required five pieces of cyan gold. The explanation given by the warriors of Shenmu City was very simple. The alien beast was huge in size and would occupy more space in Shenmu City, so the fee to enter the city was higher.

Li Yi had no choice but to accept this.

After entering Shenmu City, Xiu Xiang's mood immediately improved a lot. He couldn't wait to invite Li Yi and Nu Heng to visit his home.

Li Yi did not refuse.

soon.

Xiu Xiang took Li Yi to the home location in Shenmu City.

Surprisingly, in Shenmu City, where every inch of land is valuable, Xiu Xiang owns a rather large house. In the middle of his house there is an ancient tree several dozen feet high. This tree is somewhat similar to the sacred tree in the middle of the city, but it does not have the same magical powers as the sacred tree.

However, this ancient tree is also extraordinary. It exudes a faint fragrance that nourishes the soul and makes people feel comfortable. Combined with the majestic and warm energy field in Shenmu City, it is a perfect place for spiritual practice.

It’s a pity that Xiuxiang and his servants don’t know how to practice, so it’s a bit of a waste.

"What a great place." Li Yi couldn't help but sigh.

"If Dayi likes it, this is a gift for you." Xiu Xiang said generously.

Compared with one's own life, a residence in Shenmu City is nothing.

Li Yi refused and said, "I heard that a benevolent person would not take away something that others love. Xiu Xiang, please don't make me look unkind. I will stay here for a while, and then I will buy another house."

"Dayi, you are still as admirable as ever. I sincerely hope that you can become the leader of a region soon." Xiu Xiang said. He felt that the best deal he had ever done in his life was getting to know and sponsoring Dayi.
