982 Meeting Perfected Lord Long Again
“Where we’ll be staying?”
Lin Feng looked at Perfected Lord Ziyuan and the others. If it was just Lin Feng himself, he would not give it much thought. He could take his time to find a residence. However, with so many people following him, he could not search around aimlessly.
Fortunately, Lin Feng had another acquaintance in Holy City Primum Mobile, Perfected Lord Long!
Hence, Lin Feng sent a message according to Perfected Lord Long’s contact method.
Soon, he received a reply from Perfected Lord Long, who asked Lin Feng to wait where he was. After a while, a familiar figure flew over from afar. It was Perfected Lord Long.
“Perfected Lord Lin, I didn’t expect you to arrive at Holy City Primum Mobile so soon.”
“Perfected Lord Long, there are still some things I have to trouble you with this time.”
“Haha, no problem, no problem. Perfected Lord Lin, follow me. I’ll introduce this Holy City Primum Mobile to you.”
Hence, Lin Feng followed behind Perfected Lord Long to an attic. Everyone asked for a private room. There was even a divine array to block detection, which was an eye-opener for the many Perfected Lords.
Divine arrays could be seen everywhere. They were simply unimaginable on the Chaotic continent. After all, only Perfected Deities could set up divine arrays. Here, even a simple private room in a lodge had a divine array. As expected of the holy city of Chaos. It would not be an exaggeration to say that Perfected Lords were everywhere.
Everyone sat down. Perfected Lord Long smiled and said, “Perfected Lord Lin, did you encounter any trouble on the way to the holy city of Chaos?”
“There’s no trouble, but this holy city of Chaos is very extraordinary,” Lin Feng also said with emotion.
“Haha, of course. Holy City Primum Mobile was established by Hallowed Venerable Primum Mobile after he controlled the Supreme Rule and became a Hallowed Venerable. Countless cultivators spent a lot of effort to come to Holy City Primum Mobile. Here, Perfected Lords are everywhere, and Chaotic Perfected Persons can’t be more ordinary. Even Perfected Deities can be frequently encountered. Forget about a mere Hallowed Beast Continent, even thousands or tens of thousands of large Chaotic Continents are far inferior to the holy cities.”
Lin Feng nodded. He had also realized it. In the past, he had not even seen a single Perfected Lord on the Incendium Continent. On the Hallowed Beast Continent, even though Perfected Lords also had a very high status, it was not like the Incendium Continent, where there was not a single Perfected Lord on the entire continent. Instead, there were dozens or even hundreds of them.
There were also Chaotic spirit beasts comparable to Perfected Lords. Hundreds of Chaotic spirit beasts had died at Lin Feng’s hands.
This was only a Hallowed Beast Continent. According to the information from the Chaotic merchants, although the Hallowed Beast Continent was close to a medium-sized Chaotic Continent, it was only close.
Above medium-sized continents, there were also large Chaotic continents, and even ultra-large Chaotic continents.
Right now, in the depths of Lin Feng was a holy city of Chaos, the holy land of all cultivators in the Chaos. Even the Hallowed Venerables probably did not know how many Chaotic continents there were in the Chaos.
There were so many Chaotic continents and living beings in the Chaos. How many Perfected Lords were gathered in Holy City Primum Mobile? They were probably countless. It would not be an exaggeration to say that Perfected Lords were ubiquitous. Perhaps the expression would even be appropriate.
When Lin Feng and the others entered the holy city of Chaos just now, most of the cultivators they saw were Perfected Lords. It was enough to show how grand the holy city was.
Seeing that everyone was listening carefully, Perfected Lord Long nodded approvingly and continued, “Actually, the holy cities of Chaos are also similar to Chaotic continents. The Hallowed Venerables are aloof from worldly affairs and do not interfere in them. There are many factions in the holy cities, including chambers of commerce, sects, families, ascetic cultivators, and so on. There are countless various factions. However, without exception, only factions presided over by Perfected Deities can gain a foothold in the holy cities.
“It’s impossible for cultivators to have no desires. Even the top Perfected Deities are not without desires. They also need factions to collect intelligence and resources. Hence, in the holy cities of Chaos, aside from prohibiting fighting, everything is acceptable. Every cultivator works hard for cultivation resources. They can either join a faction or establish a faction themselves. The holy cities of Chaos are holy lands that all living beings yearn for, but it’s also very brutal here. Without resources, cultivation might not be much faster. The Fortune Chamber of Commerce and other chambers of commerce risk doing business in the Chaos in order to plunder resources as well.”
As long as there was cultivation, as long as there was disparity, as long as resources were needed, there would be competition, both open and hidden. The holy cities of Chaos were no exception.
“Perfected Lords just have to cultivate ascetically to comprehend the Chaotic Rules. What resources would they need? They can simply cultivate ascetically in the holy city for tens of thousands of years, until they become Perfected Deities,” Lin Feng suddenly said.
“The Chaotic Rules of the holy city of Chaos are very clear. To Perfected Lords, it’s a holy land for cultivation. You didn’t encounter any obstructions when entering the holy city of Chaos, right? This is a place presided over by a Hallowed Venerable. The Hallowed Venerable used the Supreme Rule to establish a supreme holy city here. It’s safe and stable for cultivation, and the Chaotic Rules are so clear. Do you really think there’s no cost to it?”
“Oh? What cost is there?”
Lin Feng’s heart tightened. From Perfected Lord Long’s tone, it seemed like this holy city of Chaos was not that simple.
“Of course there’s a cost. The entire holy city of Chaos is enveloped by the Supreme Rule. No living being can hide from the Hallowed Venerable. Although the Hallowed Venerable Primum Mobile is aloof from worldly affairs and ignores conflicts between cultivators, all cultivators can only stay in the holy city for a hundred years after entering it. Once the hundred years are up, they have to pay one top-grade Chaotic prime crystal to continue staying for the next hundred years.”
As soon as Perfected Lord Long finished speaking, all the Perfected Lords’ eyes widened in disbelief.
“What? You need to pay one top-grade Chaotic prime crystal every one hundred years?”
“This… This is too expensive. One top-grade Chaotic prime crystal.”
“I’ve cultivated for tens of thousands of years. I do have a lot of high-grade Chaotic prime crystals, but I have never obtained any top-grade Chaotic prime crystals.”
Many Perfected Lords shook their heads. This was no longer expensive in a normal sense, but too exorbitant. Even ordinary Perfected Lords could not afford it.
Although Lin Feng had 36 top-grade Chaotic prime crystals now, and Perfected Lord Ziyuan also had one top-grade Chaotic prime crystal, Lin Feng was not an ordinary Perfected Lord. Even Perfected Lord Long was not his match. With Lin Feng’s strength, obtaining top-grade Chaotic prime crystals was naturally not a big deal.
Perfected Lord Ziyuan was also adequately powerful. She was once the top Perfected Lord of the Hallowed Beast Continent, and had roamed the Chaos for tens of thousands of years. Even so, Perfected Lord Ziyuan had only obtained one top-grade Chaotic prime crystal.
This was enough to show how difficult it was to obtain top-grade Chaotic prime crystals.
No wonder those Chaotic merchants were so happy when Lin Feng offered the top-grade Chaotic prime crystals back then.
‘As expected, the holy city of Chaos is indeed very fine. It’s a holy land for all cultivators, but it’s not without cost.’ Lin Feng thought to himself.
Then, he asked, “What will happen if you fail to pay the top-grade Chaotic prime crystals when the 100-year deadline is up?”
“You’ll be expelled from the holy city of Chaos! Unless you can obtain more top-grade Chaotic prime crystals, you will never be able to enter the holy city of Chaos again. Moreover, no one can conceal it under the supervision of the Supreme Rule.”
For a moment, apart from Lin Feng and a few other Perfected Lords, the other Perfected Lords, especially those Chaotic Perfected Persons, all fell silent.
