All in all, the Flying Star Sector was more chaotic than the Tian Yuan Realm, but it was freer, too. The Cultivation sects were more powerful than the Tian Yuan Realm, too. There were signs of a 'small government' here.
Li Yao thought of something and asked, "Then, which sect does Black Iron Town belong to?"
Mu Ping smiled awkwardly and replied, "Black Iron Town. There are no sects."
As it turned out, the 'Black Iron Domain', a world fragment where Black Iron Town was located, was at the edge of the Flying Star Sector. Dangerous stone belts and cosmic storms were everywhere, not to mention the scourge of spiritual tides every now and then. Sailing in such a place would consume a lot of resources.
Although there was a remnant of an ancient battlefield in the place, it was one of the earliest ancient battlefields to be developed in the Flying Star Sector. During the thousands of years of development, the critical units and precious Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures had long been collected. What was left was the debris that was riddled with holes. The empty shells of starships were not of much value for the high-level Cultivators to recycle them.
This place was a typical remote village. None of the major sects were interested in it. Even if they sent a large starship to establish a 'branch' here, they would consider it a waste of resources and a loss that outweighed the gains.
Before, a small sect named 'Three Phases Sect' had been stationed here. But they were not lucky enough. Their leader was caught in a cosmic storm when he was trying to break into a higher level in seclusion. Two of the three starships of the sect were blown up. Even the leader was so infuriated that he was mentally deranged and perished on the spot.
The remaining survivors could not support a sect at all. Therefore, they simply left on the last starship and joined the major sects at the center of the space zone.
Therefore, the dozens of world fragments and starship towns in the area were left without the protection of any sects.
Thankfully, the place was remote, and there was little profit to be made. Neither the Cultivators nor the space pirates were interested in this place. Besides, the residents living in such a remote area, be they low-level Cultivators or ordinary people, all had Crystal Suit. As long as they did not run into large groups of space pirates and only dealt with small demon beasts, they were safe enough. They could protect themselves easily.
Although they were no longer under the protection of sects, they did not have to pay taxes or do manual labor. The dozens of towns traded with each other and were self-sufficient. Their life was quite comfortable.
The giant crab that Li Yao had slain had been lurking in a meteor and drifting here from somewhere else. It was not a local demon beast. That was why they were helpless.
Li Yao nodded and thought to himself that it was great to be able to appear here.
If there were no Cultivation sects, nobody would investigate his identity. In the future, he could travel in the Flying Star Sector as a resident of Black Iron Town. As long as he was not specifically investigated, nobody would notice anything wrong.
However, there were no cultivation sects. This meant that the cultivation level in this area was still maintained at a very low level, which could be seen from the way everyone addressed him.
He was only in the middle level of the Foundation Establishment Stage, but everyone was calling him "Master". He made it seem like he was some kind of peerless expert.
Even in the Tian Yuan Realm, those in the middle level of the Building Foundation Stage could serve as the backbone of a sect or as a university teacher. They were considered the backbone of the cultivation world. However, there seemed to be a gap between them and a "master".
He had to leave this place as soon as possible and go to the center of the Flying Star Sector, where he could find a real Cultivation sect.
If he could join a Cultivation sect and learn the advanced Cultivation arts of the Flying Star Sector... That couldn't be better.
Thinking about this, Li Yao continued asking, "Mayor Mu. Which sect is the strongest force in the Flying Star Sector? "
Brilliance beamed out of Mu Ping's eyes. He smiled and said, "There are almost a hundred famous sects in the Flying Star Sector. But the strongest one is definitely the Holy League!
"The Holy League is not a sect but a coalition of the six strongest sects of the Flying Star Sector!
"A thousand years ago, they connected their main-force starships and their space fortresses and built a magnificent super metropolis in space named Heavenly Saints City! After a thousand years of development, Heavenly Saints City is like a giant beast that swallows new starships and fortresses and grows larger and larger.
"I'm told that Heavenly Saints City today is the largest man-made building in the Flying Star Sector and can accommodate more than a hundred million people!
"Heavenly Saints City is not only the headquarters of the six strongest sects of the Flying Star Sector, it also boasts the best universities, the most advanced Crystal Suit Refining Center, the largest and most luxurious Crystal Suit Arena, and the headquarters of the most Exo Societies …
"All in all, although there is no country in the Flying Star Sector, Heavenly Saints City is the well-deserved central sky city and the center of the Flying Star Sector!
"Not only that, I'm told that the high-level Cultivators of the Flying Star Sector have performed drastic modifications on the inside of Heavenly Saints City. Living in Heavenly Saints City, you won't feel that you are floating in a sea of stars at all.
"You will see blue sky and white clouds. You will smell fresh air. There are artificial lakes, rivers, mountains, and even oceans. It is a real paradise on earth. Everybody in the Flying Star Sector craves to live in Heavenly Saints City, even if it is only for one month!"
Mu Ping's face was glowing. The scars on his face were shivering, indicating his strong desire.
Li Yao secretly clicked his tongue, too.
There was a man-made ocean in a city in space?
What kind of power was this?!
Heavenly Saints City! It seemed that the city was his target!
In Heavenly Saints City, he would be able to join the strongest Cultivation sects and learn the most sophisticated techniques and the most advanced technologies!
Even if the Cultivation sects did not accept him, according to Mu Ping, there were universities, Crystal Suit Arenas, Crystal Suit Refining Centers, and Exo Societies in Heavenly Saints City. It sounded like this Sector was not too secretive about magical equipment and techniques. There were public platforms for learning and communication, too.
Then, as long as he entered Heavenly Saints City, he would certainly learn a lot!
Li Yao swallowed and held back the impulse in his heart. He asked casually, "How far is it from here to Heavenly Saints City? What are the procedures to settle down, study, and even join the Cultivation sects in Heavenly Saints City? "
Mu Ping coughed and said, somewhat awkwardly, "It's hard to say how many roads there are from here to Heavenly Saints City. The Flying Star Sector is a large and chaotic place. Many sailing routes have been cut off by stone belts and cosmic storms. Dangerous space turbulences and swirls are everywhere in the sea of stars. The seemingly peaceful sea of stars may seem peaceful, but once we enter it, we will fall into the four-dimensional space. God knows where we will be teleported to, or torn into pieces directly.
"After all, with our current starships, we may not be able to reach Heavenly Saints City in several years.
"Besides, Heaven Divine City is not fixed in the starry sky. It is a moving giant city that constantly drifts in the sea of stars, searching for places with the most spiritual Qi. It will fly to whichever star field has the most spiritual Qi."
"Of course, there are star beacons, but they are not prepared for the bumpkins like us.
"Heavenly Saints City is the holy land for everybody in the Flying Star Sector. Everybody craves to be a resident of Heavenly Saints City and wants to move to Heavenly Saints City by any means necessary.
"Although Heavenly Saints City has been expanding year after year, it still cannot resist the flood of people.
"Five hundred years ago, circular orbits were built around Heavenly Saints City to accommodate more residents. They are known as' star rings'.
"At first, it was the first ring, then the second ring. Now, even the ninth ring is full of people. The tenth ring is being built!
"Therefore, since three hundred years ago, Heavenly Saints City has been closed to the outside world on a large scale.
"Every year, Heavenly Saints City will release a certain population quota and issue a certain number of residence permits to the outside world. To get a residence permit, you have to prove that you are a talent useful to Heavenly Saints City."
Li Yao frowned. "How can you prove that?"
Mu Ping extended two fingers. "There are two ways. Firstly, you can pass the competitions held in Heavenly Saints City, such as the Battle Armor Contest and the Refining Contest. You will be able to enter Heavenly Saints City if you become the champion.
"You don't have to be a very awesome one. There are many competitions for ordinary people, too. For example, the managers of Heavenly Saints City found that three hundred chefs were short of the quota after a lot of calculations. Therefore, a chef competition was held. As long as you can make it to the top three hundred, you will be able to live in Heavenly Saints City.
"Secondly, you have to complete certain special missions.
"For example, a space pirate has committed a major crime in Heavenly Saints City and fled to the depths of the sea of stars. The guards of Heavenly Saints City are unable to capture him for the time being. Therefore, a high bounty may be offered. If anyone can capture or kill him, not only will they be rewarded, they will also be able to live in Heavenly Saints City.
"However, both the competitions and the bounty missions held in Heavenly Saints City are only open to the ordinary people of the major sects and their affiliated sects. For a small place like ours, on one hand, you will not be qualified to participate in the competitions, and on the other hand, we are not well-informed. Even the Spiritual Nexus is not available. We can only learn the news of the outside world when we go to the temple fair.
"Therefore, although Heavenly Saints City is a paradise in the human world, we can only daydream about it. Hahahaha."
Mu Ping smiled bitterly, somewhat regretful.
Li Yao scratched his head. Going to the temple fair?
In a place where the debris of starships was everywhere and where a giant light beam was hanging on the wall, Li Yao felt that it was weird to hear the word.
But he did not ask further. Pondering for a moment, he sorted through what Mu Ping had just said.
It seemed that it was not easy to enter Heavenly Saints City. First of all, he had to go to the center of the Flying Star Sector, where the information was more abundant. Or, he had to join a sect in order to be qualified for the Holy League.
As for the items of the competition …
Li Yao believed that it would not be a problem for him to be qualified to live in the Flying Star Sector, even if he was not very distinguished in the Flying Star Sector.
Heavenly Saints City could accommodate hundreds of millions of people. More than half of them must be ordinary people. He couldn't be worse than the hundred million people, could he?
