Sword Supreme City was more like a huge piece of land in the middle of the sea than a city. Its surface area was much larger than the seven land plates of the Source Space combined.
Sword Supreme City was divided into an inner city and an outer city. The outer city had no city walls. The entire Sword Supreme Island was within the boundaries of the outer city. There were mountains, rivers, valleys, forests, glaciers, and swamps in the outer city. Many immortal cultivator sects were gathered here. The foundation of the Way of Immortals was rather prosperous.
As for the inner city, most immortal cultivators could not enter it.
There was an ancient great stratagem in the inner city. It gathered the Vital Qi of heaven and earth for billions of miles. It was a rare place for cultivation. Aside from the people of the five major factions of Sword Supreme City, anyone who entered the inner city had to pay a high entrance fee. They could not stay in the inner city for long. They had to leave within seven days or pay the entrance fee again.
If they wanted to stay in Sword Supreme City for long, they had to rent a cave abode for cultivation and obtain temporary residency rights.
However, ordinary Supreme Profundity Realm immortal cultivators would find it difficult to pay such a high rent to stay in Sword Supreme City for long periods of time. Under normal circumstances, Tide Changing Realm and Supreme Profundity Realm immortal cultivators would only choose to rent in Sword Supreme City when they were about to break through to the next realm. They could use the rich Vital Qi of heaven and earth to break through to the next realm.
Only immortal cultivators at the Divine Illusionary Realm could afford to stay in Sword Supreme City for long periods of time.
Hence, there were many experts in Sword Supreme City. Powerful immortal cultivators could be seen everywhere. Even Path Integration Realm strong practitioners could be seen on the streets.
Although the Xue Clan was a large clan, more than 90% of them were scattered around the periphery of Sword Supreme City. They did not have the right to enter the inner city.
Mo Wen needed a quiet place to recuperate. Hence, Sword Supreme City was the best choice. The Vital Qi of heaven and earth in the inner city was rich. With the Sword Supreme City in charge, almost no one dared to cause trouble in the inner city. It was very safe.
After bidding farewell to Xue Ruyue, Mo Wen found a deserted place and changed his appearance. Then, he headed towards the central inner city of Sword Supreme Island. Sword Supreme City was built on a sacred mountain. The city walls were not as tall and grand as expected. Instead, they were very ordinary. They were connected to the mountain walls and the highest point was no more than 500 meters.
There were eight city gates in Sword Supreme City. However, usually, only the south gate was accessible.
"The entrance fee is 50,000 Vital Stones," the immortal cultivator guarding the city gate said coldly.
Fifty thousand!
Mo Wen shook his head. The entrance fee alone was 500,000. No wonder ordinary immortal cultivators did not dare to come to the Sword Emperor Inner City.
In the Upper Realm, Primary Stones were the hard currency. Spirit Stones were far less valuable than Primary Stones in the Upper Realm. Only ordinary people would use Spirit Stones to trade. High level cultivators all traded with each other using primordial stones.
Primordial stones were divided into nine grades, or rather, nine colors.
One-colored Origin Stones were the lowest grade, while nine-colored Origin Stones were the highest.
Different grades of primordial stones could be exchanged according to a certain ratio. For example, a two-colored essence stone could be exchanged for a hundred one-colored essence stones, and a three-colored essence stone could be exchanged for a hundred two-colored essence stones.
However, the higher the grade of a Primordial Stone, the higher its value. Especially for Primordial Stones above the Seven-Colored Primordial Stone, no one was willing to exchange for it at this rate. A thousand Seven-Colored Origin Stones might not even be able to be exchanged for an Eight-Colored Origin Stone. As for a Nine-Colored Origin Stone, any one of them was an extremely rare treasure that no one was willing to exchange for.
The fifty thousand Primal Stones mentioned by the cultivators guarding the city were only the lowest grade Primal Stones of one color. However, even so, it was still a considerable amount of wealth.
In order to nurture the Empty Dutchman, Mo Wen had long used up all the normal primordial stones he had on him. Now, he only had some rare four-colored and five-colored essence stones on him. Back in the Immortal Honourable Space, he had unintentionally found a small primordial stone mine and dug out a large number of high-grade primordial stones from it. Among them, there were about a thousand five-colored essence stones and a hundred and eighty thousand four-colored essence stones.
Mo Wen casually tossed out a four-colored essence stone and said plainly, "No need to keep the change. I want to stay in the inner city for a long time. Help me find a cave abode for cultivation. "
When the immortal cultivator guarding the city saw that Mo Wen was so generous, he was delighted. He had met an expert.
A four-colored essence stone was equivalent to one million two-colored essence stones.
Moreover, it was impossible for ordinary immortal cultivators to exchange four-colored essence stones. That was because the Vital Qi in four-colored essence stones was relatively large and pure. It was enough to sustain the needs of ordinary Supreme Profundity Realm immortal cultivators when they broke through to the next realm. Once they obtained it, they would treat it as an important cultivation resource.
"Alright, alright. I'll get it done right away." The immortal cultivator guarding the city smiled and respectfully went to handle the rental procedures for Mo Wen.
The cave abodes in the Sword Supreme Inner City were divided into ten levels according to the density of the Vital Qi.
The highest level of cave abodes was naturally the Sword Emperor Mountain in the center.
The Sword Emperor Mountain was the core of all the Vital Qi. Anyone who cultivated in the Sword Emperor Mountain would advance by leaps and bounds. However, the rental fees were terrifyingly expensive. Ordinary immortal cultivators in the Path Integration Realm could not afford to live there. At most, they would need to temporarily rent for a period of time when they were breaking through to the next realm.
In the end, Mo Wen had his eyes on a cave abode in the Sword Emperor Mountain. Although the price was sky-high, the Vital Qi contained in it was vast. His injuries were too serious. If he wanted to recover in a short period of time, he needed the help of the environment.
"Are you sure you want to rent Sword Supreme City?" In a grand hall in the city, a female immortal cultivator in charge of the rental drew a cold breath. She looked at Mo Wen with shining eyes.
The cave abodes in the Sword Emperor Mountain might not even be rented out in a thousand years. Moreover, those who could afford to rent a cave abode in the Sword Emperor Mountain were almost all immortal cultivators above the Path Integration Realm. Any one of them would be an overlord in the Immortal Clouds Sea.
Mo Wen nodded. Although he did not have many Vital Stones on him, it was not a problem for him to rent a cave abode in the Sword Emperor Mountain for a short period of time.
Renting a cave abode in the Sword Emperor Mountain only accepted five-colored Vital Stones and above. Ordinary Vital Stones were not accepted.
Moreover, even the lowest level cave abode in the Sword Emperor Mountain required a five-colored Vital Stone to rent for a day.
A five-colored Vital Stone was equivalent to a hundred million one-colored Vital Stones. For low-level immortal cultivators, it was an astronomical figure.
However, in the Sword Emperor Mountain, it was only a day's rent.
Very soon, Mo Wen arrived at his cave abode. It was located at the foot of the Sword Emperor Mountain. The location was very ordinary, but the density of the Vital Qi was rather terrifying.
"It is worth it." Mo Wen exclaimed in his heart.
It was said that the Sword Emperor Mountain was the place where the Sword Emperor cultivated. At the top of the Sword Emperor Mountain was the Sword Emperor Palace.
Only the higher-ups of the Sword Emperor Sect had the right to enter the Sword Emperor Palace. Ordinary disciples were not qualified to enter the Sword Emperor Palace at all.
Although the Sword Emperor Sect was the top sect in the Sword Emperor Island, the sect was too big and there were too many disciples. Not everyone could cultivate in the Sword Emperor Mountain. Only the higher-ups of the Sword Emperor Sect or those with exceptional talent could have the right to cultivate in the Sword Emperor Mountain for a long period of time.
The cave abode for cultivation in the Sword Emperor Mountain was divided into five levels. The highest level was naturally the Sword Emperor Palace. However, even the elders of the Sword Emperor Sect could not casually cultivate in the Sword Emperor Palace. They could only cultivate in the Sword Emperor Palace for a period of time with the permission of the Sword Emperor.
The second level was the Immortal Cave Abode that was closest to the Sword Emperor Palace. Those who could cultivate in the Immortal Cave Abode were usually Virtue Realm immortal cultivators. Further down were the Heaven Cave Abode, Earth Cave Abode, and Human Cave Abode.
Mo Wen rented a Human Cave Abode. It was the lowest level cave abode, but the rent was still shockingly high.
"Senior, please take good care of the cave abode insignia. This item is a token to use the cave abode. In the future, when you enter the Sword Emperor Inner City or go out on errands, the cave abode insignia is a must."
The female immortal cultivator in charge of renting the cave abode bowed and then left.
Mo Wen looked at the faint blue insignia in his hand. There was a cold spiritual light flashing on it. He did not know what this item was made of. He had tried to pinch it just now and realized that even the power of the Path Integration Realm could not deform the insignia.
The cave abode insignia emitted a beam of blue light.
The cave abode that was protected by layers of stratagems immediately opened. The cave door appeared in front of him. Rays of multicolored light seeped out of the cave abode. It was actually filled with a Vital Qi mist that had turned into a substance.
The Vital Qi in the cave abode was many times denser than outside.
Mo Wen entered the cave abode in a flash. Then, the stratagem flashed and the door of the cave abode closed once again.
Even Virtue Realm immortal cultivators would need a long time to break through the stratagem here. There was no problem in terms of safety.
Time flew. In the blink of an eye, a year had passed.
Now that Mo Wen had cultivated to the Virtue Realm, the time acceleration of the Junior Master's Pagoda could only be maintained at about ten times.
Cultivating quietly for a year was equivalent to cultivating for ten years.
In the tenth year, Mo Wen's injuries had finally healed. His original body and doppelganger had both recovered to their strongest state.
"The Five Evils Codex is indeed an unparalleled remarkable power. It is too difficult to cultivate."
In the quiet room, Mo Wen shook his head. A large number of runes flashed in his eyes. The runes were cryptic and difficult to understand. They did not seem to be something of this world.
Indeed, the Five Evils Codex did not belong to this world.
This codex was the highest codex that Mo Wen had cultivated in his dream. However, he had not managed to cultivate it in the dream. This codex was said to be unparalleled in the world, but the difficulty of cultivating it was also unparalleled.
The Five Evils!
According to legend, they were the five most terrifying powers in the world. If one cultivated the Five Evils Codex to great success, they could destroy a world with a single thought. They could turn heaven and earth into chaos and then create new worlds from within the chaos.
However, it was extremely difficult to even start cultivating the Five Evils Codex, let alone to great success.
Mo Wen had already cultivated to the Path Integration Realm. His foundation was rather deep, but he had never been able to cultivate the Five Evils Codex.
Ever since he had entered the dream again, Mo Wen had obtained a precious memory. To Mo Wen, that memory was a treasure trove. He could not digest it completely in a short period of time.
In the memory, what left the deepest impression on him was not the unparalleled alchemy skills, but the Lawless Scripture and the Five Evils Codex.
Cultivating the Lawless Scripture would eventually reach the level of the Lawless Void. An existence at this level could almost be said to be indestructible. Nothing in the world could destroy them. Even if heaven and earth collapsed, the epoch ended, and all things returned to chaos. The body of the Lawless Void would not be destroyed.
The Lawless Scripture was the supreme path.
