Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“The Fourth Heaven of the City of Heavens seems to be completely different from what I expected…”
Lin Wudao frowned as he looked at the ancient stone tablet and the surrounding environment in the distant sky.
Before he came, in his imagination, the Fourth Heaven should be a prosperous scene with Immortal Emperors everywhere and endless shops.
After all, the First Heaven, Second Heaven, and Third Heaven of the City of Heavens were all like that.
Only after he had truly arrived at Fourth Heaven did he realize that he had been extremely wrong.
The scene here had completely exceeded his expectations.
As he sized it up, he could see that the surroundings were simply an ice-cold chaotic void. Terrifying cosmic tides and spatial storms wreaked havoc in the world.
Rumble!
Accompanied by chaotic lightning, countless spatial cracks appeared as if the entire cosmic was being torn apart.
What entered his eyes was a terrifying scene of destruction.
Standing outside the Mystic Heaven Ancient Land, Lin Wudao saw many legendary Immortal Emperors.
He discovered that most of the Immortal Emperors had extremely ferocious auras. Their killing intent soared to the sky.
Moreover, many of them were covered in blood and wounds of all sizes.
In serious cases, more than half of the Immortal Emperor’s body was destroyed. It was as if he had experienced a brutal battle.
“What kind of place is the Fourth Heaven? Why does it feel somewhat terrifying?”
Lin Wudao’s expression was solemn.
This place wasn’t the Immortal Emperor heaven that he had imagined. Instead, it was more like a cruel hell.
“Fellow Daoist, are you new here?”
Just as Lin Wudao was frowning and sizing up the harsh environment around him, a questioning voice suddenly sounded from behind him.
He turned around and looked.
A tall man with a slightly feminine face came into view.
Like most of the Immortal Emperors in the Fourth Heaven, his body was covered in blood and wounds. He was even holding a bloody head in his right hand.
Through the Eye of the Great Dao, Lin Wudao learned that the feminine man in front of him was called Yuan Cang. He was an early-stage level 8 Immortal Emperor who was from another low-level cosmic outside the Pan Shen Cosmic.
The head in his hand was also a level 8 Immortal Emperor. In terms of cultivation, the dead man was even stronger than Yuan Cang, having reached the mid-stage of level 8 in the Immortal Emperor realm.
Looking at Yuan Gang’s appearance, Lin Wudao did not need to guess to know that he must have just killed this Immortal Emperor.
To be able to kill an Immortal Emperor whose cultivation was higher than his, it could be seen that Yuan Gang’s strength was also extremely extraordinary.
After all, in the Immortal Emperor realm, the gap between each minor realm was incomparably huge.
To be able to fight above his level, Yuan Cang definitely had matchless power and heaven-piercing means.
“I am indeed new here.”
Lin Wudao nodded lightly.
“Then do you need to understand the situation of the Fourth Heaven of the City of Heavens?”
“Are you also a guide?”
“Something like that. I work part-time occasionally to earn some extra money,” Yuan Cang replied indifferently and continued, “Since you’re new here, if you can take out 50,000 kilograms of supreme-grade celestial source, I can give you a brief introduction to the Fourth Heaven.”
Hearing this, Lin Wudao was shocked.
Celestial sources contained boundless Celestial Dao essence and were something exclusive to Immortal Emperors. Supreme-grade celestial sources were extremely valuable.
Yuan Cang had asked for 50,000 kilograms of supreme-grade celestial source, and it was just the fee for a simple introduction. This was an eye-opener for Lin Wudao.
However, he didn’t even have any divine source, let alone supreme-grade celestial sources.
“Don’t tell me you didn’t bring celestial sources?”
“Umm…”
“Forget it. If you want, you can pay on credit. Payment within a hundred years, no interest charged; Payment within a thousand years, 200,000 supreme-grade celestial sources. Payment within ten thousand years, 500,000 supreme-grade celestial sources.”
What kind of price was that? Wasn’t this too ridiculous?
“Is this the common price in the Fourth Heaven?”
“Yes. The price I charge is also relatively cheap. If it is someone else, it will be more expensive by more than ten percent. If you want, I can tell you about the general situation of the Fourth Heaven now.”
“Uh, don’t you need any guarantees?”
“No need. According to the rules of the City of Heavens, no one can renege on a debt here. If one dares to renege on a debt, I can hunt the person down and rob him of everything he has, including his Immortal Emperor Origin.”
Speaking of this, the corner of Yuan Gang’s mouth lifted into an icy-cold smile.
Lin Wudao smiled and did not take it to heart.
“Alright then. I agree with your conditions. Now, can you tell me about the situation in the Fourth Heaven?”
“Sure.”
Yuan Cang returned to his previous calm state.
Under his lead, Lin Wudao boarded an ancient immortal boat that turned into a beam of immortal light and rushed into the void of the cosmic.
After a long time, they arrived in a dilapidated city.
“This is the ninth city of the Mystic Heaven Ancient Land, Mystic Heaven Ninth City. The Fourth Heaven of the City of Heavens is fundamentally different from the previous three. This place is more like a miniature version of the cosmic. In the Fourth Heaven, the spacetime ruins of various cosmics and eras are gathered. These ruins, under the interference of the laws of the City of Heavens, evolved into ancient and mysterious secret realms or great worlds. There are countless opportunities and fortunes in the space time ruins, but there is also great terror. Everyone there is an enemy. If you want to survive or become stronger, you either have to take risks in the spacetime ruins or plunder others. Some people reach the heavens in a single step, while others die without a burial place.”
“The Mystic Heaven Ancient Land is one of the ten spacetime ruins in the Fourth Heaven. It’s ranked tenth. Those who are active here are all ordinary Immortal Emperors. The strongest won’t exceed the Immortal Emperor realm. If you want to go to the stronger spacetime ruins, only those at the Ancient Immortal Emperor realm and above can do so.”
Yuan Cang introduced the situation regarding the Fourth Heaven.
Was it so complicated?
Lin Wudao was slightly shocked as he listened to his description.
If one did not have powerful strength, even Immortal Emperors would not be able to survive in the Fourth Heaven.
“Since the Fourth Heaven is so cruel, wouldn’t the Immortal Emperors who just entered be killed?”
“Of course not. The Cangtian Mansion has a clear rule that creatures who have just arrived at the Fourth Heaven enjoy a protection period of 100,000 years. As long as one leaves the city, no one is allowed to make a move. Mystic Heaven Ninth City is also the biggest shelter. As long as you stay here, you won’t be in danger. Though, if a war breaks out, then it’s a different matter,” Yuan Cang said softly.
“There are wars here?”
“Of course. There are many cities in the Mystic Heaven Ancient Land. To compete for resources, wars often erupt. At that time, all the Immortal Emperors in the city will have to participate. Whether or not one survives depends on luck.”
Whoosh!
As he spoke, Yuan Cang steered the immortal boat and landed in Mystic Heaven Ninth City.
Lin Wudao swept his gaze over and saw many Immortal Emperors. They were all powerhouses from various planes and cosmics.
On both sides of the street, there were various shops and stalls.
Looking at all of this, Lin Wudao finally felt that he had laid eyes on a scene he was familiar with in the First Heaven.
“This is your first time coming to the Fourth Heaven. Are you planning to buy something or just take a look?”
“Oh, 1 plan to find a few Immortal Emperors.”
“I see. You’re here to look for Immortal Emperors to go to your cosmic and help you, right? Since that’s the case, I’ll take you to the Myriad World Tower in the city. That place contains information about all the Immortal Emperors in the Mystic Heaven Ancient Land. You will surely be able to find people who satisfy your needs there.”
Myriad World Tower?
Lin Wudao was surprised.
“Can I go to other cosmics at will in the Fourth Heaven?”
“Yes. As long as you can afford it, any helpers you find here can be brought to your cosmic to help you solve your problems. In the Fourth Heaven, all the cosmics are interconnected. There are no restrictions like the previous three heavens,” Yuan Cang explained.
Soon after, under his lead, Lin Wudao arrived at the so-called Myriad World Tower.
“Hmm?”
Just as he was sizing up the magnificent building in front of him, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a man in green from the corner of his eye.
Lin Wudao was surprised when he saw that person.
“Qi Cangsang, the Immortal Emperor of the Faramita celestial race? Lie’s actually in the Fourth Heaven and also here at the Myriad World Tower. Could it be that he’s here to recruit people? If that’s the case, then what happens next will be very interesting…”
An unfathomable smile appeared on Lin Wudao’s face.
With that, he quietly followed Qi Cangxue into the Myriad World Tower..
