Chapter 377 Heavenly Abyss Immortal City [Please Subscribe]

Tianyuan Immortal City is a magical place.

The earliest date of the establishment of this immortal city can be traced back to tens of thousands of years ago.

At that time, Tianyuan Immortal City was a frontline stronghold, where tens of thousands of human cultivators were stationed, constantly on guard against the alien races on the Dolan Grassland.

Because a large number of cultivators gathered here for a long time, there was a great demand for various cultivation resources. At the same time, there were also many spoils from the battlefield that needed to be processed, so this place naturally became a large trading market.

In the subsequent major wars between humans and other races, Tianyuan Immortal City became a central and important location for the human race, a place where troops were stationed, and the number of people there continued to increase.

In order to enable so many human cultivators to settle down here and make this place a strategic stronghold to resist the invasion of alien races, the major human forces spent a great deal of manpower and resources to build Tianyuan Immortal City.

The array formation set up within the Tianyuan Mountains is even more powerful than the mountain gate defense arrays of those major forces, making its defensive strength the best in the Great Zhou Dynasty!

The Heavenly Abyss Immortal City, built at great expense of manpower and resources, indeed served as a mainstay, repeatedly causing the alien armies to suffer defeats and be unable to cross the line.

As the human race grew stronger and the alien races declined, the alien races began to retreat significantly to the Dolan Grassland. Tianyuan Immortal City gradually transformed from a frontline outpost into a safe rear base.

Without the threat of alien races, Tianyuan Immortal City no longer possessed that transcendent status.

However, this immortal city was built at the cost of countless manpower and resources, and no one knows whether the alien race will return from the Dolan Grassland.

Thus, Tianyuan Immortal City was not abandoned, but gradually transformed into a commercial city, becoming the largest commercial center in the northwest region of the entire Great Zhou Kingdom.

Today, Tianyuan Immortal City has developed into the premier commercial city of the Great Zhou Kingdom.

Because of its unique origin, Tianyuan Immortal City does not belong to any single force, but is jointly owned by the forces that participated in the establishment of the city, with each force receiving a share based on their initial investment and contributions.

Now, because many of the forces that established the Immortal City have declined or perished, there are fewer than ten forces that still hold shares in Tianyuan Immortal City, and they are all well-known and powerful forces within the Great Zhou Kingdom.

The reason why Tianyuan Immortal City is considered a magical place is not only because of its origin, but also because of its operating model.

The operation mode of Tianyuan Immortal City is very special because the city covers a very large area, and there are a lot of people who need to maintain the formations inside. It also has a vast living space.

However, once the war was over, the cultivators from various sects and families who had gathered there would naturally no longer stay here.

Therefore, at the beginning, this place was almost forced to be abandoned because there were not enough cultivators to maintain the formation.

In order to save this special immortal city, the leaders of various factions came up with a special solution: "Immortal Register".

Tianyuan Immortal City is open to all cultivators to register their immortal status. Any cultivator who registers their immortal status in Tianyuan Immortal City will receive a plot of land of three acres in the non-commercial area of ​​the city. Their descendants can live there for free and inherit their immortal status as long as they embark on the path of cultivation.

Those cultivators who possess immortal status have an obligation to participate in maintaining the operation of various formations in the immortal city.

Undoubtedly, this was extremely attractive to many independent cultivators and cultivators from small families at the time.

Not long after, Tianyuan Immortal City registered tens of thousands of immortals, and the difficulty of maintaining the operation of the immortal city's formation was solved through these cultivators who settled in the immortal city.

As the sun and moon revolve and time flows by, those cultivators who once held immortal status are no longer around. However, many of their descendants have benefited from their contributions and now live quite comfortably.

In the current Tianyuan Immortal City, new immortal registrations are basically no longer open. Those cultivators who possess immortal registrations, and their relatives, are the envy of many independent cultivators and cultivators from small families because of the existence of immortal registrations.

Not only can they cultivate for free in Tianyuan Immortal City, a city rich in spiritual energy, but they can also develop various side businesses to earn spirit coins by relying on the land passed down from their ancestors. They don't need to go out and risk their lives, nor do they need to worry about their family being wiped out because they might provoke a powerful enemy outside.

It can be said that as long as one is born in Tianyuan Immortal City, one is already ahead of most rogue cultivators on the path of cultivation. Even if one cannot join a major sect in the future, one can still live a life free from worries about food and clothing and enjoy happiness.

This unique advantage gives the cultivators in Tianyuan Immortal City a natural sense of superiority over cultivators from other places. Even in front of ordinary disciples from major sects, they can proudly say that they are citizens of Tianyuan Immortal City and do not envy the other party's status as a disciple of a major sect.

After all, even disciples of major sects, if they haven't achieved Foundation Establishment, certainly don't live as well as these "Heavenly Abyss Immortals" and bring blessings to their descendants.

Having reached Zhou Chun's level of cultivation, he naturally did not envy those cultivators in Tianyuan Immortal City who called themselves "Tianyuan Immortal Citizens".

However, after hearing about the situation in Tianyuan Immortal City, he was indeed very curious about this immortal city that now gathers hundreds of thousands of cultivators and wanted to go and see it for himself.

This time, he came to the Great Zhou Kingdom alone to sell rare aquatic treasures, and he was completely free to move around. Before coming, he decided to go to Tianyuan Immortal City to see it for himself.

After a long journey, he finally arrived at the legendary immortal city.

The Heavenly Abyss Immortal City is located in the middle of the vast Heavenly Abyss Mountains, spanning hundreds of miles.

It is surrounded by mountains, with undulating peaks on all sides, and inside it is also full of peaks and crisscrossed by waterways.

Because its internal area is so large, it does not prohibit cultivators from flying like other markets.

However, while flying is not prohibited within the city, it is not allowed to fly anywhere. One can only fly over the roads that have been opened up, and there are relevant altitude restrictions based on the different cultivation levels.

For example, cultivators in the Qi Refining stage can only fly at a height of less than 30 zhang above the ground, cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage cannot fly at a height of more than 100 zhang, cultivators in the Purple Mansion stage cannot fly at a height of more than 300 zhang, and cultivators in the Golden Core stage have no restrictions.

Flying at an altitude not corresponding to one's cultivation level will result in a fine if discovered.

In addition, outside cultivators are not allowed to be invited or led, and it is strictly forbidden to trespass on the ancestral homeland of local immortals.

If staying with local residents, relevant reporting is required, and the maximum stay cannot exceed one month.

It is worth mentioning that the local immortals often exploit this rule to profit.

They would use low prices to attract monks in the city who needed accommodation to stay at their homes.

After completing the necessary registration and entering the Immortal City, Zhou Chun ascended into the sky along the designated avenue below, flying to a height of over two hundred feet. He flew slowly, taking in the view of the entire Immortal City.

He looked around and saw exquisite mansions built throughout the city, many of which were covered by illusion arrays, making it impossible to see the details inside.

However, many houses have spiritual fields around them, where spiritual herbs and medicines are planted. Some houses even have spiritual fruit trees planted outside, laden with abundant fruit.

Men and women of all ages came and went in those mansions, and each of them was a cultivator with magical powers.

Looking at the main street of the city, one after another Qi Refining stage cultivators were either riding demonic beasts at breakneck speed or using wind manipulation techniques to drift gracefully along.

Above the Great Dao, cultivators who could fly were flying at altitudes corresponding to their cultivation levels, some faster and some slower.

Judging from the different flight altitudes, one can easily determine the cultivation level of those people.

At that moment, Zhou Chun witnessed an interesting scene.

Because cultivators in the Qi Refining stage can fly at very low altitudes, and their numbers are the largest, sometimes the flight altitude is insufficient, and they may even end up in a stacked formation.

So, whether to avoid making a fool of themselves or to show off their abilities, some Qi Refining stage cultivators would deliberately increase their flying speed to the maximum to leave other cultivators behind.

However, sometimes due to excessive speed, a "crash" may occur.

Once this happens, the two people involved in the collision will start arguing and bickering, which is quite interesting!

This kind of interesting thing can only be seen in Tianyuan Immortal City.

"It's a pity that our family is too far from the Great Zhou Kingdom. Otherwise, we would definitely send the younger generation to Tianyuan Immortal City to experience it for themselves. The different experience of looking down from a high place and looking up at the sky is more motivating than any words!"

Zhou Chun looked down at the cultivators flying past beneath his feet, then looked up at the empty sky above. A faint smile appeared on his lips, and a great sense of satisfaction rose within him.

If he were still at the Foundation Establishment stage, he might be trampled underfoot by other cultivators at the Purple Mansion stage who were on their way, and he could only watch them fly over his head and look up at their backs.

However, given the rarity of Golden Core cultivators, he, with his Purple Mansion cultivation, became a top-tier cultivator. He could leisurely fly through the city, stepping on those lower-level cultivators, watching them make all sorts of fools like a spectator, and enjoying the awe and envy in their eyes.

Zhou Chun admitted that the cultivators who formulated this flight system understood human nature.

Under this system, cultivators who frequently travel to and from Tianyuan Immortal City are easily motivated, at least initially.

When a cultivator experiences such a thing after entering the city, and is inspired, their desire to buy magical artifacts and elixirs will obviously be much stronger when they arrive at the commercial district.

If the shopkeeper and staff are good at promoting the product, the chances of successfully selling it will be very high.

After enjoying the scenery along the way, Zhou Chun finally arrived at the Tianyuan Immortal City commercial district.

Flying is prohibited in commercial areas, and even Golden Core cultivators are not exempt.

After landing outside, Zhou Chun began to stroll around the commercial district.

He had spent some time in the Immortal Capital Market, and compared to the other city, Tianyuan Immortal City was indeed stronger in terms of both the number of shops and the flow of cultivators.

However, both are among the top-ranked markets in the Great Zhou Kingdom, and the prices are actually not that different. The only difference is that Tianyuan Immortal City is closer to the Dolan Grassland, so you can see and buy more of the Dolan Grassland's specialty spiritual items.

After going in and out of several shops, Zhou Chun had a better understanding of the situation.

He quickly headed to the center of the business district and arrived at the outside of a shop called "Tianyuan Pavilion".

This "Tianyuan Pavilion" is an official property of Tianyuan Immortal City and is an auction house.

Every seven days, Tianyuan Pavilion holds a low-level auction, mainly auctioning various precious items used by Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Every month, Tianyuan Pavilion holds an intermediate auction, where many precious items useful to cultivators in the Purple Mansion stage will appear.

Every six months, Tianyuan Pavilion holds a high-level auction, where even items usable by Golden Core cultivators will appear.

Many of the rare aquatic treasures that Zhou Chun brought this time are items that could be auctioned at low-level auctions, and some could even be auctioned at mid-level auctions.

Therefore, he had already planned to auction off these precious aquatic treasures to maximize his profits.

To Zhou Chun's delight, the Tianyuan Pavilion's semi-annual high-level auction was about to be held in a month and a half, which meant he could wait and see if he could buy the magical treasures and spiritual materials that Lin Hongyu needed at the auction.

"Take care, Fellow Daoist Han."

"Manager Xu, please wait."

Outside Tianyuan Pavilion, Zhou Chun, using the alias "Han Yuan," was personally escorted out by a steward from inside.

He consigned quite a lot of items for auction this time, which immediately made him a valuable guest in the eyes of the manager.

After consigning the items to be auctioned, Zhou Chun didn't wait for the auction to start and went directly to the free trade area.

The free trading area of ​​Tianyuan Immortal City is very large, and many local immortals like to come here to hunt for treasures. After all, they can live in the immortal city for free and have plenty of time to stay here.

After Zhou Chun set up a stall inside, he first released a little aura to attract the attention of most of the cultivators in the area, and then put up the sign he had written earlier.

The sign read: "Clearance Sale of all kinds of Tier 2 and Tier 1 magic weapons and pills at low prices! Bulk discounts available!"

Many of the magical artifacts and elixirs seized from the Jiang family were hard-to-sell items. In the prosperous Great Zhou Kingdom, it was difficult to sell them at normal prices, and not many shops were even willing to buy them.

Thus, Zhou Chun, a dignified cultivator at the Purple Mansion stage, could only set up a stall in this free trading area.

Seeing that many cultivators' attention had been drawn to him, Zhou Chun, without any embarrassment, said in a deep voice, "Fellow cultivators, take a good look! My family has recently acquired a large batch of low-grade magic weapons and pills, and we urgently need money to sell them off. Everything will be sold at 60% of the market price. The more you buy, the bigger the discount!"

As he spoke, he laid out all sorts of sample ritual implements.

To be honest, it's rare to see cultivators at the Purple Mansion stage setting up stalls to sell low-level magic weapons and pills, even in the Great Zhou Kingdom.

After all, local cultivators are too proud to do this, and cultivators from other places generally wouldn't travel a long way just to do such a thing.

So Zhou Chun's clearance sale was quite successful.

Holding onto the idea that a cultivator at the Purple Mansion stage wouldn't lie to a Qi Refining stage cultivator, and considering that Zhou Chun's selling price was indeed very low.

In just three or four days, he actually sold hundreds of magical artifacts and thousands of spirit pills, earning tens of thousands of spirit coins.

Fortunately, the market in Tianyuan Immortal City was large enough, and the transaction volume of the things Zhou Chun was selling was not large. Otherwise, if he did it like that, those shops would definitely invite him over for "tea".
