The capital city of the Federation was located in the southeast of the entire Federation. It covered a huge area, and one couldn't see the end of it at a glance. One could only see a towering, majestic city standing there, shaking the surroundings.
Beneath the huge city, there were a hundred huge, inverted metal mountains. They seemed to have pierced into the ground and were connected together to form the ground.
The size of each mountain was comparable to Ethereal City, and they were about ten thousand feet tall. It was an astonishing sight.
As such, the area formed by these hundreds of mountain-shaped metals was extremely vast, and the city built on top of it was fully deserving of being called … the number one city in the Federation!
Beneath the mountains, the ground was shrouded in clouds and mist. It was as if immortal qi was lingering, and it was full of mystery.
Before the Spirit Inception Era, this was a place with beautiful scenery. With the arrival of the ancient greenish-bronze sword and the falling of large amounts of fragments, the rich Spirit Qi changed the landscape. Coupled with the permanent presence of the Divine Armament, this place was even more beautiful than before. Within the clouds and mist, there were many birds and beasts, but they were all friendly. The vegetation was lush, and the river was sweet as if it contained Spirit Qi.
Vaguely, one could see the ground within the clouds and mist. Eight roads had been opened in the forest. While they traversed in all directions, there were also countless small encampments. With the capital city as the center, they circled in circles.
It was like a moon surrounded by stars. It was so big that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the size of the capital city of the Federation was comparable to a small country a thousand years ago!
More details couldn't be seen clearly due to the presence of the mist. However, anyone who came here would feel a strong sense of awe at first glance. It was as if there was a power that could kill all the Federation experts in the forest within the clouds and mist!
Apart from that, the most eye-catching thing about the capital city of the Federation was that on top of the hundred inverted metal mountains, within the city, there were … 102 statues that were tens of thousands of feet tall!
These statues looked different. There was the legendary Nuwa of the East, Zeus of the West, and so on … It could be said that in the history of the entire Earth, there were the hundred most widely known deities gathered here!
Although he didn't know why the Federation's capital city had built such a statue, it was obvious that it wasn't just for commemoration and worship. There were two statues in the center of the city, and one of them was the Ethereal Dao College's Grand Supreme Elder!
The other person was a middle-aged man who exuded an awe-inspiring aura. This person … was the current president of the Federation!
The vast forest of clouds and mist, the unprecedentedly huge city, as well as the hundreds of statues of gods in the huge city, all of this formed … the Federation's capital city!
Similarly, this number one city of the Federation had the highest population in the world. Regardless of whether it was cultivators, military personnel, or ordinary citizens, there were so many people that other than the Federation's internal statistics, outsiders only had a rough idea.
Right now, as the enormous city and the clouds beneath it appeared before Wang Baole and company's eyes, everyone except Zhao Yameng, who was standing on the cruiser's deck, was shocked beyond words.
Even though Zhuo Yifan was from the Five Generation Sky Clan and had seen it in the news many times, this was the first time he had seen it in person. Now that he saw the majestic city with his own eyes, his heart was in turmoil.
As for Wang Baole, he was even more flabbergasted. He looked at the Federation's capital city from afar and gasped.
"It's … It's too big! How many Spirit Stones would a house cost … "Wang Baole rubbed his eyes and looked at the capital city, which he couldn't see the end of even though he was standing on the cruiser. He was dumbfounded.
Zhuo Yifan was obviously aware of this. When he heard Wang Baole's exclamation, he replied, "A house here is comparable to a hundred houses in Ethereal City!"
"What the … A house is equivalent to a hundred droplet cruisers?" Wang Baole's body trembled violently, his flesh jiggling. He suddenly felt that everyone here … was rich!
Zhao Yameng didn't speak as she listened to the conversation between the two. The Foundation Establishment cultivators who had accompanied them here smiled, but their hearts were also in turmoil. Even though they had been here many times, every time they looked at the city, their hearts would be stirred.
The Federation's capital city could be said to be the core of the Federation. To the citizens, it was the center of politics and economy. To cultivators, the significance of this place was even higher. This place … housed the only Divine Weapon in the entire Federation!
The existence of the Divine Weapon not only ensured the rights of the Federation President, but also served as a deterrent. Even though there were many hidden dangers within the Federation and it was already divided, overall, it was still somewhat stable.
As Wang Baole and Zhuo Yifan breathed rapidly and exclaimed from time to time, the cruiser gradually slowed down as it neared the capital city. After going through some tests and scans that Wang Baole didn't know about, the cruiser was allowed to land in the Ethereal Dao College's exclusive spaceport in the capital city.
There were already Ethereal Dao College disciples stationed in the capital city waiting there. When Wang Baole and the other two alighted from the cruiser, they were immediately welcomed. After a series of arrangements, they finally arrived at the winery managed by the Ethereal Dao College.
The winery's environment was elegant, and it was filled with birds chirping and fragrant flowers. The Spirit Qi was extremely rich, and it was usually not open to outsiders. It was the residence of the Ethereal Dao College disciples. When Wang Baole and the other two arrived, there were already many Ethereal Dao College disciples who were competing for the Federation Hundred Seedlings.
When everything was settled, Zhao Yameng didn't enter the residence that the Dao College had arranged for her. Instead, she bade farewell to Wang Baole and Zhuo Yifan, as though she was about to leave.
"Where are you going?" Wang Baole was a little curious. Zhuo Yifan also looked over.
"My house is in the capital city." Zhao Yameng might not have answered the question if it had been asked by someone else. However, Wang Baole and Zhuo Yifan were here. The three of them had gone through a life-and-death situation together, so their relationship was no longer ordinary.
Upon hearing Zhao Yameng's words, Zhuo Yifan's eyes widened. Wang Baole's mind buzzed, and he was stunned.
"Your family … is really rich!" After a long while, Wang Baole said sourly. When Zhao Yameng heard Wang Baole's tone, she smiled and bade farewell to Zhuo Yifan before leaving leisurely.
If it was just a normal departure, it would have been fine … However, in the eyes of Wang Baole and Zhuo Yifan, almost as soon as Zhao Yameng walked out of the Ethereal Dao College winery, seven to eight golden cruisers approached in an instant. They stopped immediately, and hundreds of burly men quickly walked out of the cruisers.
Regardless of the appearance or structure of the golden cruisers, Wang Baole's Dharmic Armament Pavilion Armament Soldier could immediately tell that they were extraordinary. His heart had already been shaken, and now he saw the hundreds of burly men. Almost every one of them had the cultivation of the True Breath realm.
In particular, there was an old man among them. His cultivation fluctuated intensely, and he didn't seem to be much weaker than the tree. He seemed like a butler, and he bowed to Zhao Yameng with a kind and concerned look on his face.
"Welcome home, Young Mistress."
Zhao Yameng nodded. After boarding the cruiser, she waved at Wang Baole and Zhuo Yifan, who were still in a daze. Only then did the cruiser … leave in a mighty manner.
Wang Baole was a little confused, and Zhuo Yifan was silent. After a long while, when the cruiser that Zhao Yameng was in disappeared, the two of them looked at each other and saw the strange look in each other's eyes.
"What's her background?"
"So rich!"
The two of them spoke almost at the same time. In the end, they returned to their lodgings with different moods and settled down. However, in their hearts, they still had speculations and suspicions about Zhao Yameng's background.
After a night's rest, Wang Baole suppressed his suspicions about Zhao Yameng and found Zhuo Yifan early in the morning. He pulled him out of the winery and wandered around the capital city.
As they wandered, they looked at the various shops in the capital city. The prosperity and scale of the city exceeded that of Ethereal City. In particular, there was a dazzling array of materials needed for cultivation. It was as if everything in the entire Federation could be bought here.
This made the two of them, who were exhausted after the battle at Coulomb Basin, extremely excited. Zhuo Yifan was even more interested in some elixirs and jade slips that recorded secret techniques.
However, when he asked about the prices, even though he was rich, he was speechless. It was really too expensive.
Wang Baole was the same. He looked at the items displayed in the shops excitedly and exclaimed repeatedly.
"Tempering Gold Earth!"
"Flowing Light Liquid!"
"Heavens, there's even Sky Crystal Sand!"
"These are all extraordinary materials that can provide additional support when refining Numinous Treasures." Wang Baole's heart raced with excitement. He walked past one shop after another until he saw an item. His mind instantly buzzed.
"This … this is …"
What he saw was a plant that was as thick as an arm. It looked like a palm tree, but it was red in color. However, what made Wang Baole's heart tremble was that in the trunk of the palm tree, there was a finger-sized … black fragment!
The moment Wang Baole saw this fragment, he immediately felt a strong sense of connection. It made him feel as if … this item was made of the same material as the black mask!
Suppressing his desire, Wang Baole walked around the shop, casually pointing at the materials one by one. When he was almost done with his selection, he was about to ask for the price, preparing to buy the palm tree as well as the rest of the items.
However, at that moment …
Outside the shop, an old voice could be heard laughing.
