This was the first time Wang Baole had brought his parents on a long journey since he became an adult. They crossed mountains, rivers, endless jungles, and vast deserts.
It didn't matter if it was a perilous land filled with ferocious beasts, a desolate land with no signs of human habitation, or a harsh climate where mortals couldn't approach. With Wang Baole's current Core Formation realm cultivation, he could bring his parents anywhere on Earth without any hindrance, except for a few restricted areas.
After all, in the current Federation, the Yuanying realm was the highest known realm, and to be able to step into the Core Formation realm … was already considered one of the strongest in the Federation.
Needless to say, after being promoted to a Secondary Rank Two Noble, Wang Baole had already seen some information about Earth's array formation in the top-secret information that only Secondary Rank Two Nobles and above had access to. In this information, it was clearly stated that … Secondary Rank Two officials of the Federation had the authority to access Earth's array formation. Even though this authority wasn't great, compared to those below Secondary Rank Two, few would dare to provoke them.
This smooth journey lasted for more than a month. Then, Wang Baole sensed that his parents were a little exhausted. This exhaustion wasn't physical, but mental. Therefore, they ended the journey and came to … Ethereal City!
Ethereal City, which far surpassed Phoenix City, was like a colossus that stood tall on the ground. Be it in terms of scale, population, number of experts, or significance on Earth, Ethereal City was enough to rank in the top five of the seventeen main cities on Earth!
Ethereal Dao College was just beside it, which greatly increased Ethereal City's defensive capabilities. Furthermore, this place was the core of the Federation's southwestern region. Through this place, it was like a huge net that enveloped the entire southwestern region. It was like a dragon's head in the southwestern region.
Therefore, large numbers of cultivators and mortals came to Ethereal City every day. They were either there for transit, work, or business. As a result, Ethereal City was bustling with activity. Regardless of whether it was the heavy traffic during the day or the neon lights at night, it was extraordinarily lively.
As a result, the cost of living in Ethereal City had far exceeded that of Phoenix City. Especially the housing here, every inch of land was worth an inch of gold, and the supply could not meet the demand.
After all, Ethereal City was the leading city in the Southwest region. Be it in times of prosperity or chaos, this place was the economic and political core of the region. Hence, a large number of rich people gathered here. At the same time, there were also countless wealth and resources that were not exposed to the public. These were all placed here by the people who controlled them.
It could be said that one couldn't underestimate anyone while walking on the streets of Ethereal City. Perhaps an inconspicuous character could have such a high net worth that it would often shock others.
These various advantages made the people of Ethereal City feel superior to those who came to the city. At the same time, due to Ethereal City's status and prosperity, most people who came here for the first time would be awed by this majestic city. They couldn't help but feel inferior.
Wang Baole's parents were mortals and had lived in Phoenix City their entire lives. Although Old Wang had been to Ethereal City on business trips before, this time was different from the past. He had chosen to settle down here. Hence, as the cruiser approached, his emotions fluctuated. Needless to say, Wang Baole's mother felt the same.
"This city is too big … It's not as good as our Phoenix City …"
"The city is big, and the population is large. The human touch is weak …"
"Baole, I heard that people in big cities are xenophobic …" Wang Baole's mother hadn't thought of this on the way, but as they approached, she was obviously a little uneasy and instinctively began to nag.
Wang Baole stood patiently beside his mother with a smile on his face. After comforting her for a while, his mother finally calmed down a little. However, it was obvious that she still had a lot of worries. Even though she knew that her son was very powerful now and she didn't know what she was worried about, she still felt uneasy.
While Wang Baole understood this, he thought about it and sent a voice transmission to Lin You when the cruiser was about to reach Ethereal City's spaceport.
When he received Wang Baole's voice transmission, Lin You was in the City Lord's residence, looking at the ancient tree in front of him. He held a spirit stone in his hand and wasn't cultivating. Instead, he was thinking about something related to the Senate. He had a habit of touching the smooth surface of the spirit stone when he was thinking. It was a habit he had developed during the battle with the Ferocious Beasts.
When he heard Wang Baole's voice transmission, Lin You stopped thinking and opened his voice transmission ring. He immediately smiled. He had high hopes for Wang Baole, not to mention the current Lin Tianhao who cooperated well with Wang Baole. Moreover, he and Wang Baole were now almost equal in status. This made him attach great importance to the matter of Wang Baole's moving, so he immediately made arrangements.
Therefore, when Wang Baole's cruiser landed at Ethereal City's spaceport, Lin You and some of his followers were there to welcome him personally. As soon as they met, Wang Baole cupped his fists and bowed to him like a junior. Lin You laughed and went forward to pat Wang Baole on the back!
The two of them hadn't met many times, but they had communicated a lot. At this moment, they didn't feel unfamiliar with each other and chatted happily. Lin You was also very polite to Wang Baole's parents.
When Wang Baole's parents found out that the person before them was the City Lord of Ethereal City, they instinctively grew nervous. Lin You saw that and smiled warmly. He seemed like an ordinary person, but at the same time, he seemed like a neighbor. He was extremely friendly and amicable, and at the same time, he teased them.
"Brother Wang, Madam Wang, after you settle down here, you have to put in a good word for me with your Baole. I'm really ashamed. That useless son of mine is now under Baole's command."
As soon as he said that, Wang Baole's parents immediately laughed. They naturally knew that Lin You's words were mostly a joke to ease their emotions. At the same time, he also pointed out that Wang Baole was no longer an ordinary person. This was also to give them confidence.
This scene made Wang Baole feel very touched. He bowed to Lin You again.
Lin You's arrangements were very comprehensive. After picking up Wang Baole's family of three, he brought them to a large area in the inner city of Ethereal City near the City Lord Manor. Here, he directly lent a large mansion to Wang Baole.
Although it was said to be a loan, it was actually a direct gift.
The mansion was very large. Not only did it have a grass garden, but it also had three small buildings. The environment was elegant and quiet. Such a peaceful place in a bustling city was extremely valuable, not to mention that it was in the inner city. Whether it was in terms of security or protection, it was enough to make Wang Baole feel assured.
Originally, Lin You had also arranged for some servants, but Wang Baole's parents weren't used to it. Hence, after Wang Baole politely declined, Lin You took his leave.
Wang Baole left with his men. Wang Baole's parents stared at the sprawling mansion, feeling as if they were in a dream. Pride for their son rose in their hearts once again.
Lin You's arrangements weren't over yet. A few days later, after a discussion with Wang Baole's family, there was a new supervisor in Ethereal City's Archaeology Department. It was Wang Baole's father!
At the same time, there was also a new position in Ethereal City's Education Department. The person in charge was Wang Baole's mother!
In Lin You's opinion, the best way to integrate into a new city wasn't to introduce Wang Baole's identity and attract a large number of flatterers. Instead, it was to let Wang Baole's parents participate in Ethereal City's system. This way, they could form a circle that belonged to them.
As for their identity, there was no need to publicize it or deliberately hide it. Everything could be done naturally. After all, no matter what, no matter what trouble it was, as long as Wang Baole and Lin You could solve it, there was nothing that Wang Baole's parents couldn't solve in Ethereal City!
After the two elders took up their positions and came into contact with the new environment, they began to be relatively busy in their free time. Their family could be considered to have settled down in Ethereal City.
However, compared to Wang Baole's father who was serious about his work, Wang Baole's mother had long placed her future core mission on Wang Baole's marriage. Hence, she was more focused on finding a suitable candidate.
As for Wang Baole, he also began to consider making a trip back to Ethereal Dao College. While obtaining the Core Formation cultivation technique, he also had to settle some matters.
Just like that, a few days later in the morning, Wang Baole left his house and transformed into a long rainbow, heading straight for … Ethereal Dao College!
