Black Ox Town
"Powerful."
When Ye Zichen saw Wu Di's solemn expression, he took advantage of the situation to ask him about many things he didn't understand.
"How so?"
"Senior, you might have come from another district, so you don't know how powerful the Axe Gang is."
Earlier, when Ye Zichen mentioned the Axe Gang to Scarface, Wu Di had guessed that this senior wasn't a local of the Thirteenth District.
"Actually …"
From Wu Di's explanation, Ye Zichen understood why the Axe Gang was so powerful, and he had a rough idea of how the factions were divided up.
The extreme north was the Northern Divine Mountain's territory, divided into seventy-two districts.
These 72 districts were divided into four major districts: Mortal, Profound, Earth, and Heaven. Each major district occupied 18 districts.
The Mortal Great District had the worst concentration of spiritual energy, while the Heaven Great District had the best concentration.
The levels here were also more detailed than in the Lower Realm. They were divided into False Spiritual Body, Spiritual Body, Entering Immortal, Human Immortal, Earth Immortal, Sky Immortal, Immortal Sovereign, and Immortal King. In other words, compared to the Lower Realm, there was an additional level in between every two levels.
In the Mortal Great District, most people were below the Human Immortal level. After breaking through to the Worldly Immortal Stage, they would pass through the forbidden zone and head to a higher level region to develop.
The Thirteenth Borough's Axe Gang was actually just a branch of the Axe Gang. Its leader was a Human Immortal, an existence that could intimidate the entire Mortal Great District. Its headquarters was located in the Profound Great District, and its leader was a Sky Immortal.
More importantly, however, the Axe Gang was subordinate to the Sky Great District's Green Gang.
The leader of the Green Gang was an Immortal King Realm expert, and it was said that the Green Gang even had a supreme expert who did not appear in this world.
"Senior, with your strength, you naturally wouldn't care about a small Axe Gang. But the Green Gang behind him isn't something we can afford to provoke. Moreover, think about it … Supremes have to ascend to the Divine Mountain, so why does the Green Gang have a Supreme expert? That's obviously … "
Wu Di didn't finish his sentence, but Ye Zichen understood what he meant.
There were people on the Divine Mountain!
Ye Zichen really didn't care about any of this. Back in the Lower Realms, what hadn't he experienced? He'd even run into sage-level experts. He naturally didn't care about puny supremes.
What made him even more speechless was that he hadn't ascended to the Divine Mountain and had actually ended up in this place.
Moreover, it was a small Mortal Great District!
Wasn't this a tiger entering a flock of sheep?
All of a sudden, Ye Zichen's expression turned rather strange.
"Senior, this junior advises you to leave District 13 as soon as possible. It's best if you don't use the Transfer Spirit Array. Scarface will definitely report this to his superiors, and they will definitely send someone to find you. Maybe they will even wait for you at the Transfer Spirit Array. With your strength, it shouldn't be a problem for you to walk through the forbidden area. Furthermore, you seem to have just passed through the forbidden area. As long as they don't catch you, you should be safe. They wouldn't be so determined to offend an expert like you just for Scarface and the others. "
"Then what about you?"
"I …"
When he saw Wu Di's expression, Ye Zichen knew that Wu Di hadn't thought about him at all.
She patted him on the shoulder and chuckled.
"Don't worry about me, they can't do anything to me. How about this? Since I'm already involved, and I'm the one who offended this person, I'll be a good person to the end. I don't have a place to stay right now. Why don't you take me to your place to rest for a few days? If the people from the Axe Gang come, I will help you send them away. If they don't come, how about we make other plans? "
"This …"
"Why not?"
"Of course I'm willing!" Wu Di practically shouted. Having an expert like Ye Zichen stay with him was a huge boon to him, with absolutely no downside.
"Then why aren't you leading the way?"
… …
"Senior, this is Black Ox Town."
Four hours later, they finally left the wasteland and saw a city in front of them.
Several squads of soldiers patrolled the perimeter. As Ye Zichen and Wu Di were about to enter, he saw Wu Di hand one of the patrolling soldiers a token.
"He …."
When he saw the soldiers stop Ye Zichen, Wu Di stepped forward and explained, "Your Excellency, this senior is staying at my place!"
"Without a temporary residence permit, you can't enter the city. Who knows if he made a deal with you on the outside? Once we enter the city, he'll find a random place to hide and mix with the spiritual energy of the town. "
"Your Excellency ….."
"Black Ox Town is one spirit coin a day. If you don't have it, then scram."
The soldier's tone was quite rude. Wu Di gnashed his teeth, took out ten spirit coins, and handed them over.
"Give this senior a temporary residence permit for ten days!"
Temporary residence permits were issued by the Divine Mountains, and there was a time limit. When the time was up, you'd be expelled from the city, regardless of your cultivation.
Only by purchasing a house in the city could you live here permanently.
To ordinary people, a single spirit coin was worth a fortune. Wu Di was only able to fork out ten spirit coins because of the allowance his clan had given him last month.
If he used up these ten spirit coins, he'd have no money left to spend for the rest of the month.
Here, the only way to earn money was by selling spirit herbs, spirit stones, or exploring secret lands.
Of course, you could also earn money by selling pills, treasures, and talismans …..
However, only the peak powers of the Sky Great District would flock to such methods. They disdained coming to a place like the Mortal Great District.
The soldier weighed the spirit coins in his hand, then nodded in satisfaction. He took out a jade slip and placed it in Ye Zichen's hands.
"Ten days. If you don't pay up after ten days, you'll have to leave Black Ox Town."
The jade slip was cold to the touch. When Ye Zichen looked at it, he saw that time was still flowing.
Interesting.
There was even a time limit? Wasn't this the same as renting a house?
The city walls were simple and crude. As soon as Ye Zichen set foot inside, he sensed that the spiritual energy here was far denser than in the wastelands.
"Is the density of spiritual energy inside and outside of the city different?"
Wu Di was stunned. He never would've guessed this senior would ask such an idiotic question, but he patiently explained.
"Every city has a great spirit-gathering formation, so the spiritual energy inside is slightly denser than the outside world. In truth, we're only here for a short while. If we went to a city, the spiritual energy would be even denser. As for the higher-level districts, I've never been, but I'm sure the spiritual energy there is much denser than in the Mortal Great District. "
Ye Zichen nodded in understanding. Although he wasn't proficient in the art of divination or the transformations of spiritual formations, if he could set up a spirit-gathering formation big enough to house an entire town, he had to be extremely skilled.
No wonder there was a fee to enter the city. So there was such a difference between the inside and outside of the city!
Interesting, interesting!
Ye Zichen couldn't help but shake his head. The more he understood about the God Realm, the more he found it interesting!
