Cloudmist City!
Looking from afar, this majestic city was shrouded in mist, giving it the feeling of a fairyland. Cloudmist City could be said to be the barrier of Tianyun Pavilion. Arriving at Cloudmist City was equivalent to stepping into the territory of Tianyun Pavilion. Whether it was in terms of scale or momentum, Cloudmist City was dozens of streets ahead of Yan City.
In the Immortal World, every city had its own forces and Cloudmist City was no exception. Just like Yan City, anyone who wanted to enter Cloudmist City would have to pay a low grade Immortal Meta Stone as a tax. This was the condition to enter the city.
To an ordinary cultivator, especially an Earthly Immortal expert, a low grade Immortal Meta Stone wasn't much, but there were too many people going in and out of the city every day. To Cloudmist City, it was a considerable income. In other words, whoever controlled the city would be in control of its wealth.
Jiang Chen and Han Yan paid two low grade Immortal Meta Stones and entered the city directly. They were now rich people. Jiang Chen had obtained the inheritance of Ouyang He, so his wealth was enough to dominate a region. Han Yan was also a local tycoon. Most of the Immortal Meta Stones looted from the mines of Xuanyang School were in his pocket.
"Have you heard that something happened in Xuanyang School?"
"Of course, someone attacked the stronghold of Xuanyang School at night, killed a dozen outer disciples of Xuanyang School, looted a large number of Immortal Meta Stones, and destroyed a mine. This is too fierce. I think this person's name is Jiang Chen. Xuanyang School has issued a must-kill order. Whoever can catch or provide clues about Jiang Chen will be rewarded by Xuanyang School."
"How can it be so easy? I heard that even Elder Xie of Xuanyang School couldn't catch up with this Jiang Chen. This man is too mysterious. According to the news, he is only an early Earth Immortal expert, but he has a Taboo Technique that can forcibly increase his combat strength."
"Amazing, really amazing. But this man is too courageous. He even dared to kill the disciples of Xuanyang School and destroyed their mine, causing a great loss to Xuanyang School. This time, Xuanyang School will definitely not let this matter go. They even issued a must-kill order. This shows how determined Xuanyang School is to kill Jiang Chen."
"He's able to fight against Heaven Immortal with his Earth Immortal cultivation base and escape unscathed from a late Heaven Immortal expert. I've never heard of such a monstrous genius. When did such a genius appear in One-Line-Sky? We haven't even heard of him before."
… …..
As soon as they entered the city, Jiang Chen and Han Yan heard the news. Everywhere was talking about his deeds. It seemed like the commotion that they created the day before yesterday had caused a sensation in the entire One-Line-Sky.
"Little Chenzi, it seems like you have become famous again."
Han Yan whispered with a smile. This was Jiang Chen. No matter where he went, he would always become famous.
"The speed of the news is faster than I expected. It seems like Xuanyang School is really angry. But this is also good. This is the effect I want."
The corner of Jiang Chen's mouth revealed a trace of a smile. The must-kill order issued by Xuanyang School had made the news spread across the entire One-Line-Sky at the fastest speed. In this way, Jiang Chen's reputation would be completely spread. The people of Tianyun Pavilion would certainly pay attention to him.
"I also heard that Tianyun Pavilion has also shifted its attention to that Jiang Chen. Someone wants to rope in Jiang Chen and recruit this genius into Tianyun Pavilion."
"I've also heard that the Eldest Young Master of Cloudmist City, Fu Hui, has said that he wants to make friends with Jiang Chen. Young Master Fu Hui is an inner disciple of Tianyun Pavilion, and his cultivation base has already reached the terrifying intermediate Heaven Immortal realm."
"That's normal. Tianyun Pavilion and Xuanyang School are hostile forces. Jiang Chen has caused great losses to Xuanyang School, and Tianyun Pavilion is the happiest. If a peerless genius like Jiang Chen could enter Tianyun Pavilion, Tianyun Pavilion would naturally like him very much. It's not surprising that Young Master Fu Hui wants to make friends with Jiang Chen."
"Tomorrow is the birthday of the City Lord. I guess Young Master Fu Hui is already in Cloudmist City."
… …..
The sounds of discussion were endless. Jiang Chen heard all these news, and the smile on his face became even wider.
"Little Chenzi, it seems like everything is as you have expected. Tianyun Pavilion has begun to pay attention to you. I wonder if you can make friends with this Young Master Fu Hui?"
"Don't worry.
"Don't worry, my goal will be achieved very soon."
Jiang Chen's face was as calm as ever. No matter what happened, his face would always be calm. Everything had been under his control ever since he attacked the stronghold of Profound Sun Sect. The appearance of Fu Hui was a springboard for him to enter Skycloud Pavilion.
"Ah Yan, let's go to a tavern in front. Perhaps we can hear more news about One-Line-Sky there."
Jiang Chen said. The two of them walked towards a tavern not far away. They had just ascended to the Immortal World not long ago and knew nothing about One-Line-Sky. Now that they had arrived at Cloudmist City, they could hear all kinds of news. Wherever there were people, there would be gossip. Any major event in One-Line-Sky would be discussed by people.
Inside the tavern, Jiang Chen and Han Yan chose a window seat and ordered two pots of wine from the Immortal World. They enjoyed the wine while listening to the news.
As expected, most of the discussions in the tavern were related to him. From time to time, they could hear Jiang Chen and Xuanyang School.
"Oh yes, there's another major event in One-Line-Sky. That is the Pinnacle Ceremony of One-Line-Sky Mountain that will be held half a month later. At that time, the Eight Immortals of One-Line-Sky will appear. That's a major event that happens once every two years."
"Yes, how could I forget about this major event? The Pinnacle Ceremony is held once every two years. The Eight Immortals will gather at the top of One-Line-Sky Mountain and compete to determine the strongest expert of One-Line-Sky. Unfortunately, the Pinnacle Ceremony has been held for many years, but the Eight Immortals of One-Line-Sky have yet to determine the winner."
"It's a pity that Sect Master Ouyang fell two years ago, causing the Eight Immortals to lose one. Later, he was replaced by Sect Master Ouyang's disciple, Tian Muyun. Tian Muyun became the new Sect Master. I wonder if this Pinnacle Ceremony will have the same imposing manner as Sect Master Ouyang."
"It shouldn't be too bad. Tian Muyun is a legendary figure in One-Line-Sky. His cultivation base is no weaker than Sect Master Ouyang. Under his leadership, Skycloud Pavilion has been thriving day by day. It's no worse than before." "That's right.
… …
The news of the Eight Immortals shocked Jiang Chen. This was a new piece of news. He didn't know what kind of existence these Eight Immortals were, but judging from the respectful tone of the people talking about them, they shouldn't be ordinary figures.
Jiang Chen stood up from his seat and came to another table. There were already three people sitting at this table. Jiang Chen didn't stand on ceremony and sat down.
"Three brothers, today's wine is on this little brother."
Jiang Chen said in an incomparably forthright manner.
Upon hearing this, the three people's attitude towards Jiang Chen suddenly changed. They were all rogue cultivators and liked forthright people the most. Moreover, the wine in this tavern was very famous and not cheap. They were naturally happy that someone was treating them.
"Little brother, you are?"
One of them asked.
"This little brother has just arrived in One-Line-Sky and isn't very familiar with this place. Just now, I heard three brothers talking about the Eight Immortals and the Pinnacle Ceremony. I'm very interested. May I know which eight immortals are these Eight Immortals?"
Jiang Chen asked.
"Haha, little brother doesn't even know about the Eight Immortals. It seems that you really have just arrived in One-Line-Sky. In that case, this elder brother will tell you about the Eight Immortals."
One of them laughed. In One-Line-Sky, the Eight Immortals weren't a secret. There was nothing that couldn't be discussed.
"There are four major powers in One-Line-Sky, namely Tianyun Pavilion, Xuanyang School, Huangfu Family and Yun Family. These Eight Immortals are the pinnacle experts of the four major powers. Each major power has two experts who have already reached the half-step Immortal King realm. They are Tian Muyun and Daoist Yufeng of Tianyun Pavilion, Xuan Yangyi and Dugu Sheng of Xuanyang School, Huangfu Yaotian and Huangfu Qun of Huangfu Family, and Yun Zhonghe and Yun Zhonglong of Yun Family. These eight people represent the pinnacle of One-Line-Sky and are known as the Eight Immortals of One-Line-Sky. In order to compete for the number one position in One-Line-Sky, they have agreed to hold a grand ceremony at the peak of One-Line-Sky every two years. Unfortunately, the number one has never been chosen. The previous number one of Tianyun Pavilion was Ouyang He, but he suddenly fell two years ago and was replaced by his disciple, Tian Muyun. Although Tian Muyun is the youngest, his cultivation base isn't weak.
Many people are more optimistic about Tian Muyun in this grand ceremony. "A middle-aged rogue cultivator narrated the story of the Eight Immortals to Jiang Chen in detail.
"That's right. Tian Muyun has lived a legendary life. Ever since he was accepted by Sect Master Ouyang, his cultivation has been soaring all the way, from a nobody to a tyrant in One-Line-Sky. God knows how many miracles he has created. It's really admirable and enviable. If I can be like Sect Master Tian, it will be worth it even if I die."
Another man said, his words were full of admiration for Tian Muyun.
"Come on. Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? You want to compare yourself with Sect Master Tian? You're really shameless."
The other person sneered and mocked without holding back.
"F * * k! Can't I just fantasize about it?"
The man rolled his eyes.
"Sect Master Ouyang has really accepted a good disciple."
Jiang Chen shook his head, poured the wine into his mouth, threw twenty low grade Immortal Meta Stones on the table, and walked out of the tavern.
It turned out that Tian Muyun was doing so well.
This made Jiang Chen feel sad, but this was the reality. Who cares about the past? This world would always belong to the successful. Although Tian Muyun was despicable and shameless, he was also a successful man who had gained both fame and fortune. Jiang Chen felt a sense of sadness in his heart.
If Ouyang He knew about this in the underworld, he was afraid that his soul wouldn't be able to rest in peace.
"Little Chenzi, where are we going now?"
Asked Han Yan.
"Let's go straight to the Prefecture. I want to see that Fu Hui."
