Duan Lingtian learned a little about Mound Hill City along the way.
Mound Hill City was a big city in the West Overlooking Sea of the Dao Martial Saint Land. It belonged to a powerful sect … The area around Mound Hill City was governed by Mound Hill City.
This included Fuyu Town which was also Guo Li's hometown, Fuyu Island.
"Duan Lingtian, is the Mortal Continent fun?"
Guo Li asked Duan Lingtian about the Mortal Continent excitedly along the way. After learning that Duan Lingtian's strength was the best in the entire Mortal Continent, she was eager to go to the Mortal Continent.
"The Mortal Continent is much more fun than our Dao Martial Saint Land … Take me for example, I've never left the area around Mound Hill City before," Guo Li said in disappointment.
She was a little disappointed.
There were many powerhouses in the Dao Martial Saint Land. Mortal Shedding Stage cultivators were everywhere while Saint Rudiment Stage cultivators were as common as dogs.
Due to this reason, a mere Mortal Shedding Stage cultivator did not dare to wander around recklessly. If they were unlucky, they would be killed. If they died, they would lose everything.
"Everyone has their own strengths."
Duan Lingtian smiled. "Take me for example. I've never seen anyone younger than me on Cloud Continent who has the same strength as me … You're only 27 years old, but you're already an Intermediate Mortal Shedding Stage Martial Cultivator. This is unimaginable on Cloud Continent."
"That's because the cultivation environment is different … I heard there's no Saint Stone reserve in the Mortal Continent?"
Guo Li asked.
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
"That's right … Do you know that even our Fuyu Town has three Saint Stone reserves? Our Guo Clan occupies one of them, the Yeh family where Ye Man is from occupies another one, and there's another clan who occupies one as well. "
Guo Li said, "The three great clans in our Fuyu Town are barely considered as a ranked force in the Dao Martial Saint Land … A ninth-rated force."
"Ninth-rated force?"
Duan Lingtian was speechless when he heard that.
Such a weak force had a Saint Stone reserve?
"Nobody snatched your clan's Saint Stone reserve?"
Duan Lingtian asked.
"There's nothing to fight for … The three Saint Stone Mines in Fuyu Town are only ninth-grade Saint Stone Mines … We usually produce ninth-grade Saint Stones, and we'll only find eighth-grade Saint Stones if we're lucky."
Guo Li said.
Duan Lingtian had heard Xue Nai mention the different grades of Holy Stones before.
Saint Stones were divided into nine grades.
Rank-9 was the lowest and Rank-1 the highest.
One First Grade Saint Stone was equivalent to ten Second Grade Saint Stones, one hundred Third Grade Saint Stones, one thousand Fourth Grade Saint Stones, and so on.
Ninth-grade Saint Stones were the worst Saint Stones.
For example, the Saint Stones that appeared in the two ancient clans' supreme-grade Origin Stone reserves on Cloud Continent and the four Overseas Saint Islands' supreme-grade Origin Stone reserves were only ninth-grade Saint Stones.
On the other hand, what Xue Nai gave him were all higher grade Saint Stones.
Gradually, Duan Lingtian learned about the situation in the Dao Martial Saint Land from Guo Li.
In the Dao Martial Saint Land, forces that did not have a Paramount Mortal Shedding Stage powerhouse were considered mediocre forces.
The three major clans in Fuyu Town where Guo Li was from each had a Paramount Mortal Shedding Stage powerhouse. However, since they did not have a Saint Rudiment Stage powerhouse, they were only considered mediocre forces.
"There's no Saint Rudiment Stage powerhouse in the three major clans?"
Duan Lingtian asked in confusion.
"Very rarely," Guo Li said.
"Although Ye Man and I have the potential to break through to the Saint Rudiment Stage, we might not even be able to break through to the Saint Rudiment Stage successfully.
Put everything else aside, the three major clans in Fuyu Town won't allow any Saint Rudiment Stage powerhouses to appear in our clans. I'm 27 years old, and I've been assassinated by the other two major clans no less than a hundred times. "
Guo Li sighed when she reached this part of her sentence. She seemed a little tired. "Ye Man is the same as me.
That's why both Ye Man and I couldn't wait to join the City Governor's Estate of Mound Hill City when we found out we had the opportunity. However, it's a pity … "
Guo Li did not finish her sentence, but Duan Lingtian knew she wanted to say it was a pity for Ye Man.
In some ways, Guo Li and Ye Man appreciated each other's talents.
"Now that you've joined Mound Hill City, you should be able to break through to the Saint Rudiment Stage successfully."
Duan Lingtian smiled.
However, Guo Li shook her head. "In the Dao Martial Saint Land, there are many people who have the talent to break through to the Saint Rudiment Stage … However, it's already not bad if one-tenth of them can successfully break through to the Saint Rudiment Stage.
Put aside the fact that it's extremely difficult for those who have the talent to break through to the Saint Rudiment Stage, the dangers they encounter in the process are enough to cause many people to die prematurely. "
Guo Li's words were filled with sorrow.
Duan Lingtian's heart sank when he realized how cruel the Dao Martial Saint Land was.
"If you want to survive in the Dao Martial Saint Land, you'll have to have a strong fist."
At this moment, Lin Qing Rong said to Duan Lingtian.
The stronger one's fist was the most important thing!
In the Dao Martial Saint Land, the strong ones were revered. The law of the jungle was even worse than on the Mortal Continent.
"Huo Lao, do you have a Spiritual Secret Tactic that can detect other people's age?"
Duan Lingtian suddenly recalled how Huo Lao had detected his age. He could not help but ask Huo Lao who was in the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. In his opinion, since Huo Lao had lived for so long, he should have such a Secret Tactic.
"A Spiritual Secret Tactic that detects other people's age is just a low-level trick … If you want to learn it, I'll teach you a high-grade Secret Tactic right away. As long as you don't detect someone whose cultivation base is one stage higher than yours, you won't be discovered. "
Huo Lao said.
"A Secret Tactic that won't be discovered as long as you don't detect someone whose cultivation base is one stage higher than yours?"
Duan Lingtian's eyes lit up when he heard Huo Lao's words. His face was filled with anticipation. "Huo Lao, quickly teach it to me!"
"The Secret Tactic that I'll teach you is called the Divine Eye … In the future, when you open the Saint Veins that connect your eyes, it'll become even more powerful."
As soon as Huo Lao's voice sounded, Duan Lingtian discovered that there was a lot of information about the Divine Eye in his mind.
The Divine Eye was an assistive Secret Tactic.
Its main function was to detect other people's cultivation base and age.
As long as one could project their Spiritual Energy, it would be easy for them to master it.
It only took Duan Lingtian half an hour to master the Divine Eye. After mastering it, it was only natural that he wanted to test it out.
His first target was Guo Li.
Duan Lingtian narrowed his eyes as he looked at Guo Li. His Spiritual Energy silently extended from his eyes and appeared around Guo Li's body in just a blink of an eye. However, it did not touch her.
At this moment, something flashed before Duan Lingtian's eyes. After he decided to check Guo Li's age, he discovered that there were rings of veins on Guo Li's body.
"Come here … Why are there veins on her body?"
Duan Lingtian asked in confusion.
"Trees have growth rings, and so do humans … What you're looking at now is a human's growth ring."
Huo Lao replied.
"A human's growth ring?"
Upon hearing this, Duan Lingtian began to count the growth rings on Guo Li's body. Soon after, he discovered that there were a total of 27 rings on Guo Li's body … Guo Li was 27 years old.
'How magical!'
Duan Lingtian could not help but exclaim inwardly. From the beginning until the end, Guo Li did not notice anything.
Subsequently, Duan Lingtian probed Guo Li's cultivation base.
Second Level Mortal Shedding Stage!
'I wonder if Senior Lin is at the Saint Rudiment Stage or not … If he is, he'll definitely notice if I probe him recklessly.'
Duan Lingtian glanced at Lin Qing Rong, feeling a little conflicted.
'I don't care anymore!'
In the end, Duan Lingtian could no longer suppress his curiosity and began to probe Lin Qing Rong.
The first thing he probed was his cultivation base.
"Paramount Mortal Shedding Stage?"
After probing Lin Qing Rong's cultivation base, Duan Lingtian could not help but sigh in relief. Fortunately, he was not at the Saint Rudiment Stage. Otherwise, he would have been discovered.
"Senior Lin's age …"
Subsequently, he began to probe Lin Qing Rong's age. "A total of 58 rings … Senior Lin is 58 years old this year."
Soon after, Duan Lingtian also probed Lin Qing Rong's age.
"The Dao Martial Saint Land is right in front."
Lin Qing Rong suddenly reminded him.
Upon hearing that, Duan Lingtian looked ahead and saw a vast piece of land behind the sea in the distance. "This is the Dao Martial Saint Land?"
Duan Lingtian was a little excited as they were about to step foot on the Dao Martial Saint Land.
"Once we enter the Dao Martial Saint Land, we'll reach Mound Hill City in another half an hour," Lin Qing Rong continued.
"We'll reach there soon," Lin Qing Rong continued.
Duan Lingtian nodded.
Soon after, the three of them entered the Dao Martial Saint Land … In the vast Dao Martial Saint Land, the area near the sea was filled with lush greenery and the air was fresh.
Half an hour later, a small black dot appeared in Duan Lingtian's field of vision.
"Mound Hill City is right in front."
Upon hearing Guo Li's reminder, Duan Lingtian's eyes narrowed.
At the same time, the black dot in the distance continued to expand in his field of vision. Soon after, it became a vast city.
The city was ridiculously huge.
At the very least, Duan Lingtian had never seen such a huge city on Cloud Continent before.
"Mound Hill City!"
From afar, Mound Hill City looked like a gigantic beast with its mouth wide open, swallowing cars and pedestrians. It gave off a strong sense of oppression when one looked at it from afar.
"Eh? Why isn't anyone flying in? "
Soon after, Duan Lingtian noticed the problem.
"There's a Flight Prohibiting Formation that covers the entire city above Mound Hill City. It's a Dao Formation that was set up by a powerful Dao Cultivator … As soon as the Formation is activated, Martial and Dao Cultivators below the Saint Rudiment Stage won't be able to fly in the city."
Upon hearing Duan Lingtian's question, Lin Qing Rong explained patiently.
"I see."
Duan Lingtian finally understood.
Soon after, the three of them landed outside Mound Hill City. Just when Duan Lingtian was about to enter the city, he saw Lin Qing Rong lifting his hand and taking out a car.
