Chapter 0359: 0359
Shen Xingyao and Shen Xingyu had taken their leave .
Wu Yu joined the line of a hundred people or so . The crowd gradually advanced forward .
This was clearly not the first time the people in the line with him had come to Yan Huang Imperial City . As he chatted with them, Wu Yu found that in general, the ones who were able to enter Yan Huang Imperial City were at least at the Jindan Dao Realm .
Depending on your cultivation level, your monthly contribution toward Yan Huang Imperial City would differ . For instance, if you were at the first tier of Jindan Dao, you only needed to pay 50 Golden Essence Pills a month .
Of course, to someone who was at the first tier of Jindan Dao, this was a considerably large fortune .
Most people were unable to remain in Yan Huang Imperial City for a long time . The usual visitors to this place consisted of those who wanted to win a large fortune by gambling, those who wanted to achieve a breakthrough using Yan Huang Imperial City's Ancient Spiritual Qi, and those that wanted to buy or seek out rare, precious treasures and immortal essence materials .
There were also those who met up with friends here and those that came to peddle their wares .
In any event, Yan Huang Imperial City was essentially the capital of the realm of cultivators . It was similar to Capital Wu in the Dong Yue Wu Kingdom, where many civilians traveled over land and water to visit .
A place like this was very different from the exclusive Shushan Immortal Sect . Over here, fish and dragons jumbled together and people of all sorts were present . The hustle and bustle around the city was extraordinary, and you could find whatever was within the limits of your imagination .
The closer he got to the city gates, the clearer Wu Yu's vague sense of the boundless Ancient Spiritual Qi became . Yan Huang Imperial City was located within a fading immortal fog . In fact, this immortal fog was formed by the concentration of Ancient Spiritual Qi . After lightly breathing in this fog, it would pass through your body without any obstructions, and seemed to purify your heart and lungs in the process . Even though the immortal fog here was not very dense, its effects were comparable to the effects of the Clear Sky of Shushan .
This highly concentrated Ancient Spiritual Qi was Yan Huang Imperial City's most important asset .
Rumors said that the source of Yan Huang Imperial City's innumerable wealth and riches was the payment that it collected from the cultivators within the city .
In order to not look like an inexperienced bumpkin, Wu Yu did not stare and gawk around too much .
"The Lunar Flower Sword Sage and her husband are prominent figures . Once they've found out that I've entered Yan Huang Imperial City, they'll just wait for me on the outside . It'll be too shameful for them if they went to the far east only to find someone to threaten me . If news about that leaked out, they'd become the laughingstock of the whole divine continent . Their only option is to assassinate me . If they were to kill me in plain sight, the Ursae Sword Immortal would not be pleased . He is the Sword Immortal that saved my life after all . "
As for whether Nangong Wei truly wanted to take his life back then, Wu Yu never found out the answer . He did not want to know it either, since things were over after all .
"From now on, I'll only look to the future!"
After a short time in the queue, it was Wu Yu's turn . He had to fill in a form . After which, the Yan Huang Immortal Army soldier guarding the city would record down some numbers . This was Wu Yu's first time visiting, so this procedure took slightly longer than usual . He was no longer a Shushan disciple anymore, hence he did not indicate that he was from the Shushan sect on the form . He had left that part blank instead . Nonetheless, Yan Huang Imperial City did not probe further . There were many other visitors who came to Yan Huang Imperial City without being part of any sect .
Wu Yu just looked like an ordinary eighth tier Jindan Dao cultivator . After he finished recording down more details, he was allowed to enter . If he were to ever visit again, this procedure would be slightly faster next time .
As he walked through the city gates of Yan Huang Imperial City, a wave of spiritual qi surged toward him and gave him a refreshing sense of immortal enlightenment . After that, clamorous sounds rang out from the entire street . After Wu Yu entered the gates, his vision cleared up quite a lot, and he was able to see his surroundings better . This was indeed a flourishing and vast capital city . There were elegant and exquisite buildings and an endless number of royal courts and pavilions of different types . The street was at least 100 zhang wide, and there were people both walking on it and riding on their immortal treasures in the air . Within Wu Yu's field of vision, there were at least a thousand cultivators around .
"A cultivator's city sure is different!"
Upon closer inspection, he noticed that almost every building had a spirit design included in its structure . Some of them served to consolidate the building's structure, some served to deter outsiders from entering, and others served to obscure the building from plain view in other to conceal it . These complicated and gorgeous spirit designs were the reason these buildings constructed in this floating city looked so majestic, grand, and magnificent .
As far as the eye could see, this confident city was gold and jade in glorious splendor . Under the rays of the sun, the golden immortal fog lingered, and countless cultivators were darting about within with their divine poise and sagelike features . The imperial courts in the fantasies of commoners from The Three Thousand Immortal Kingdoms surely had to be this spectacle right now!
The fact was that these cultivators with powerful mystiques were practically immortals to ordinary people . Their only weakness was that they could only live until around 400 years old, which was much less than what demons could reach .
Wu Yu was both stunned by and in reverence of the scene before him . He rode his sword through this gigantic city . It was a large as a third of the entire Common Sword Domain after all and was extremely dense at that . It would be impossible to completely travel through it in just a short time, so Wu Yu simply viewed the flowers from his sword as he took a fleeting glance in passing at the various sights and sounds in order to get a taste of Yan Huang Imperial City's flourishing state .
He found that most of the buildings had spirit designs with very strong concealing properties . For instance, as he flew over them on his sword, he was unable to clearly see what was going on in the courtyards within the palaces and pavilions .
Other than this, there were many shops along the street . These shops were selling immortal treasures, immortal essence, talismans, precious treasures, and all other sorts of mystical and rare goods . Some of them even had four spiritual marks, yet they were displayed openly in public without any concern of being snatched away by others .
There were many other shops that were purchasing goods at a low price and selling them at a higher price in order to earn the difference from arbitrage .
The shopkeepers were all from the outside as well, so, of course, they had rented their storefronts from Yan Huang Imperial City . Every month, they would have to contribute a far larger sum than other visitors .
