“Cultivate well.”
The Giant Soul Dao Venerate patted Li Chen’s shoulder, glanced at the three of them, and said with a smile, “Cultivate well, for this is perhaps the most dangerous place in the entire Immortal Domain, but likewise, it’s a place of immense opportunity. I hope to see you among those who return in the next war.”
“Thank you, Daoist Lord, for your guidance,” Li Chen replied with a salute.
“Now that you’ve chosen to come here, from now on, you are one of the Metal Gengjin Fifth Camp. You can call me Boss Giant Soul, just like everyone else. The rules of the Immortal Domain don’t apply here,” the Giant Soul Dao Venerate said with a hearty laugh.
Li Chen nodded in surprise but did not say anything more.
“I hope you have a pleasant time here,” the Giant Soul Dao Venerate smiled, with a hint of deeper meaning.
After speaking, the Giant Soul Dao Venerate turned and left, disappearing without a trace.
This left Li Chen and the other two, along with the members of the Metal Gengjin Fifth Camp, staring wide-eyed at each other.
To be honest, although the Starry Sky Immortal City does not lack Daoist Lords, they are generally the de facto leaders of a military corps and rarely appear before ordinary immortals. But what exactly happened today, how come several Daoist Lords suddenly appeared at once?
Jin Luo Immortal Venerate certainly didn’t know, but he did realize one thing: the three people in front of him were likely far from ordinary.
“Um… would you like to come with me to the Metal Gengjin Fifth Camp for a tour?” Jin Luo Immortal Venerate wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked Li Chen.
Originally, he wanted to put on airs like a boss, but after seeing his top boss appear, he abandoned the thought.
“Then… sorry to trouble you,” Li Chen, also baffled, could only nod.
Evidently, for some reason, the Starry Sky Immortal City seemed to be in some kind of ceasefire period; at least, the people here had not yet engaged in battle.
If he wanted to head to the real battlefield, he’d have to wait for the next dispatch. In the meantime, it was a good opportunity to familiarize himself with the area.
Li Chen had no intention of acting as a spy or gathering intelligence on the Immortal Domain.
Perhaps, from certain aspects, his faction belonged to the Heaven Realm, but in general terms, he knew his faction was not limited to just the Heaven Realm.
The people of the Metal Gengjin Fifth Camp soon went about their own business, leaving Jin Luo Immortal Venerate to guide Li Chen and the other two to get acquainted with the terrain of the Starry Sky Immortal City.
Meanwhile, on the other side, several Daoist Lords who had just dispersed had somehow gathered again.
“Did anyone see through that little guy’s background?” asked Heaven Abandoned Dao Venerate.
“No, couldn’t tell,” Tea Dao Venerate shook his head.
San Tong Dao Venerate stroked his beard, “I still think it’s impossible for a little fellow of the Immortal King Level to take away the Formation Spirit of the Ninth-Level Grand Formation, unless…”
“Impossible,” before San Tong Dao Venerate could finish, the Giant Soul Dao Venerate shook his head, “He doesn’t have the aura of that kind of creature, and if he truly were fused with such a being, his personality would undergo a fundamental change. Even the kindest person would become twisted and violent, but that little fellow lacks even a trace of such an aura.”
“What about the other two young girls?” San Tong asked again.
“The one called Xinyu has monstrous aptitude; I reckon she’s not over a hundred years old, yet she has no abnormalities, perfectly fitting the profile of a normal super-genius,” the Giant Soul Dao Venerate replied.
“As for the other one…” at this point, the Giant Soul Dao Venerate’s expression turned a bit peculiar, “To be honest, at first I thought she was like the girl called Xinyu, a typical genius, but later, I sensed a different kind of aura.”
“What kind of aura?”
“I can’t quite say,” the Giant Soul Dao Venerate shook his head, “It’s a very profound and unfathomable aura that even with my power, I could not fathom.”
“You couldn’t even fathom it?” Heaven Abandoned Dao Venerate was stunned.
“Yes,” the Giant Soul Dao Venerate nodded, “But she bears no malice, nor is she that kind of creature.”
“It seems these three little fellows are indeed quite extraordinary,” Tea Dao Venerate concluded.
“Indeed,” San Tong Dao Venerate nodded, “Did you notice, Daoist Lords are not common in the Immortal Domain, right? Yet these three little ones encountered so many Daoist Lords at once, though initially surprised, they quickly calmed down. Clearly, they’ve been in contact with other Daoist Lords before—and possibly more than just once or twice.”
Even San Tong Dao Venerate had not expected that Li Chen and company not only had contact with Daoist Lords, but even had fought alongside them.
Having even fought together, to then expect Li Chen to feel some awe for Daoist Lords… it was honestly a bit difficult.
“For the moment, it seems these three youngsters are still on our side. Naturally, the higher their aptitude, the better,” the Giant Soul Dao Venerate suddenly burst into laughter.
Why wouldn’t he be happy? Three geniuses had appeared within his corps.
“I say, Giant Soul, could you tone it down a notch?” San Tong Dao Venerate said somewhat jealously.
“Why, are you envious? Over the past century, my corps has seen quite a few geniuses,” chuckled the Giant Soul Dao Venerate smugly.
“Do you want to fight?”
“Let’s fight, who’s afraid of whom?”
…
Li Chen and the others walked on the main road of the Starry Sky Immortal City, flanked by various shops and skyscrapers.
To be honest, Li Chen felt that this place wasn’t much different from an ordinary Immortal City.
Or rather, the only difference was that this place was significantly larger.
Though called an Immortal City, its scale was nearly akin to that of an independent realm.
In terms of size, the largest cities Li Chen had seen were the Tearful Valley and the Mo clan’s city.
But compared to the Starry Sky Immortal City, they were mere grains of sand beside a skyscraper’s roots.
The analogy was not exaggerated, perhaps even a bit understated.
The entire Starry Sky Immortal City is a gigantic Domain Fortress.
Within it, there are countless smaller cities.
These smaller cities and their surrounding territories belong to various military corps.
The bustling areas serve as places for immortals to resupply and rejuvenate, while the military corps each have their residences and special training grounds.
There are even secret realms present.
The entirety of the Starry Sky Immortal City is vast and complete to an astonishing degree.
To say it forms a minor world of its own is not an understatement.
The key point is that the rules of a minor world are usually incomplete, and the cultivation levels of practitioners within are not particularly high.
In contrast, the diverse laws of the Starry Sky Immortal City are exceptionally complete, no different from the Immortal Domain, allowing immortals to freely cultivate and break through.
Moreover, the heads of the military corps would occasionally grant their subordinates some benefits, like holding lectures.
Lectures at the Daoist Lord Level are rarities outside, impossible to come by!
Setting aside the factors of war, this place can indeed be called a Cultivation Holy Land!
