Ancient Ancestral Ruins - Chapter 69 The Six Great Realms, Stargazing City

Li Hanlu and the others wanted to go with them, and Lu Jiu didn’t try to dissuade them.

After all, every cultivator has their own philosophy and beliefs, and not everyone is like that old tortoise Cang Qingzi.

Yun Mengxi’s disciple sealed herself in a coffin, which was then placed inside the immortal tower left behind by Yun Mengxi after Lu Jiu activated the divine array.

Unless she finds a celestial connection that can help her restore her Dao foundation during her exploration of that ancient celestial palace, she will not be able to leave.

To Lu Jiu’s surprise,

As he prepared to set off for the outer void.

Cang Qingzi came knocking again.

“You’re going too?”

Lu Jiu looked at Cang Qingzi in surprise, “This isn’t like you.”

Cang Qingzi chuckled, “Senior is too kind. With you here, what do I have to worry about or be afraid of?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Jiu’s expression was a half-smile.

Given this old tortoise’s personality, he definitely won’t do anything without a profit.

Moreover, Cang Qingzi possesses the talent to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune. As an old demon who has lived for over a million years, his application and development of this talent is certainly beyond what a young upstart like Li Daotian can match.

“If you want to come along, then come along.”

…

“Senior, based on the exploration of the void over the past ten thousand years and the development of other realms nearby, the location where the ancient immortal palace appeared is precisely in the central region.”

Throughout the journey, Cang Qingzi spoke eloquently and answered every question.

In terms of erudition, no one in the Azure Realm can compare to this old tortoise.

According to him…

For thousands of years, the Azure Realm has explored the void many times, and powerful beings from other realms have also explored the void and come to the Azure Realm.

Including the Azure Realm, there are a total of six known realms in the void.

There are also many interactions and collaborations between the various forces in the six major realms.

In order to make it easier to explore the void, some forces joined together and built cities in the void.

Stargazing City is a city built in the void, and it is closest to the place where the ancient celestial palace appeared.

This void city was built more than 7,000 years ago. Among the six major realms in the surrounding area, the beings who can come here are at least at the Nascent Soul stage or above.

If we only consider a single realm, the number of cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage might not be that many.

But when all six realms are combined, the number is astonishing.

As the saying goes, seeing is believing.

When Lu Jiu and his group arrived at this Star Gazing City, even the well-traveled Lu Jiu was slightly surprised.

A city suspended in the void, its area is extremely vast, with buildings and palaces standing in rows, and people coming and going on the streets, bustling with activity.

The city was surrounded by a large number of runes and Dao patterns of various array formations and restrictions, some of which contained fluctuations of immortal laws.

“There are dangers and opportunities in the void. Star Gazing City is a transit point where many cultivators from various realms stop and stay. After making sufficient preparations, they will go to the unexplored areas of the void.”

“If we discover any hidden treasures or opportunities, even if we can’t obtain them ourselves, we can still bring the news back and sell them for a high price!”

“Of course, the most dangerous things in the void are not just demons, but also your fellow travelers who can also be your enemies.”

Cang Qingzi stood beside him with a smile, recounting these things as if they were casual conversation.

Lu Jiu and his group arrived riding the Demon Blood Sky Roc. Although it was not a living True God-level demon, it still exuded the aura of a True God, attracting the attention of many people.

However, compared to the mount of the Demon Blood Sky Roc…

On the contrary, the three women beside Lu Jiu were more eye-catching.

After all, places like Stargazing City are often frequented by top-tier experts and powerful figures. It’s not uncommon for them to ride on true god-level demons, and some have even flown here on celestial artifacts.

However, a woman of unparalleled beauty is even rarer than a true god-level demon or a celestial artifact.

Li Hanlu’s flawless perfection, Xu Huanhuan’s quirky charm, and Bai Su’s unparalleled allure—any one of them alone would be enough to attract attention, shining as brightly as stars and the moon.

Not to mention that three of them have arrived all at once!

“Anyone want the Enlightenment Flower? It’s a peerless divine medicine that has a chance to put someone into a state of enlightenment!”

“The Void Flying Boat is the most suitable flying magic weapon for exploring the void. It is inscribed with a True God-level defensive formation and is an essential item for treasure hunting!”

“Breaking news! Breaking news! A piece of celestial material has just been found deep in the void! Those interested should place their bids quickly, or it will be gone!”

“…”

In Stargazing City, there are shops run by various sects and lineages from the six major realms. Those who can do business here are all backed by powerful forces.

Lu Jiu had already put away the Demon Blood Sky Roc, and the group walked along the streets of the city.

Lu Jiu noticed that many of the shop signs had special runes engraved on them, representing the orthodox mark of the forces behind them.

However, he had never seen or heard of most of them.

Some members of the Daoist sects in the Azure Realm also do business here, but none of them are in the best locations.

Based on Cang Qingzi’s descriptions, Lu Jiu roughly knew that among the six major realms, the Cang Qing Realm ranked last in overall strength.

Over the millennia, some true gods in the Azure Realm have also embarked on the path to immortality, becoming human immortals.

However, it is still somewhat weaker than the other five major realms.

A large crowd had gathered at a street corner.

Lu Jiu and his group strolled over and saw an elderly man setting up a stall, on which was only a bloody finger.

Even a single finger exudes an astonishing aura of killing intent, sending chills down one’s spine.

Listening to the discussions around me.

Lu Jiu and the others then realized that this was a finger brought back from the depths of the void, suspected to be that of some powerful being, containing innate laws.

The law of nature, returning from the acquired to the innate, corresponds to the eighteen tribulations of becoming an immortal.

In other words, this one finger represents a predestined connection with the divine.

“May I ask, fellow Daoist, how much do you plan to sell this finger for?”

A person emerged from a nearby shop, seemingly representing a powerful force or lineage from a certain realm.

The old man who owned the stall shook his head. “This item is for exchange only, not for sale. I want a mid-grade immortal medicine!”

“We don’t have any mid-grade immortal herbs, but we do have mid-grade immortal materials and immortal gold. Shall we trade?”

“No trade!”

The elderly man showed no mercy, exuding a captivating aura that surpassed even the level of a true god!

A human immortal!

Those watching the spectacle couldn’t help but gasp slightly.

A powerhouse of this caliber would undoubtedly be a top-tier expert in any of the six realms.

“This kind of place is more lively, and you can see both humans and immortals at will. It’s quite interesting.”

Lu Jiu looked at the finger with great interest. “A severed finger of a celestial being does indeed contain innate immortal laws, but not many.”

After glancing at it briefly, Lu Jiu lost interest and turned to leave.

A few more moments passed.

Lu Jiu stopped and looked at the signboard in front of a shop next to him.

“This is the mark of Zixia Sacred Mountain!”

Li Hanlu and Xu Huanhuan both recognized her.

After all, Zixia Divine Mountain is a Taoist sect of the Azure Realm, and it was founded by the ancient Taiyi Divine Ancestor, who is known as the ancestor of all gods.

“The ancient immortal palace is about to appear. Do you think that old man Taiyi might have come here as well?”

Lu Jiu looked at Cang Qingzi beside him with a half-smile.

“I don’t know about that, I’m not familiar with that old Deng!”

Cang Qingzi chuckled.

“You’ve quite distanced yourself from this, haven’t you? I heard that Elder Taiyi sought your guidance on cultivation, and you even gave him pointers?”

“Rumors! Senior, those are all rumors! I don’t know that old Deng!”

Lu Jiu smiled, stopped arguing with the old tortoise, and stepped into the shop of Zixia Divine Mountain.
