In the sky, a group of Golden Immortals flew slowly on a cloud. They were the cultivators who had just fought against the attack of the Strange Beasts of Chaos outside the world. They were all injured to varying degrees, but they were not depressed at all. Instead, they were very excited because they had gotten their share of the spoils of war.
After they parted ways, a Golden Immortal looked at the chest bone in his treasure pouch and could not help but look satisfied. He was only a small Golden Immortal, and it was already very rare for him to be lucky enough to participate in such a great battle. He was already very satisfied with getting a chest bone of the Strange Beasts of Chaos. He did not dare to ask for anything else. After all, the most precious things were already in the pockets of those big shots.
At this moment, a figure suddenly flashed by, bringing with it a gust of wind. The Golden Immortal raised his head to look, and a trace of amazement appeared in his eyes. What a fast flying movement technique. However, he did not examine it carefully and flew back to his residence on a cloud. After returning, he could use this breastbone to refine a defensive magic treasure.
After the Golden Immortal left, a figure appeared in the forest below. It was River Styx after his transformation. River Styx came for no other reason than to take back the primordial spirit that was residing in that Golden Immortal's body. River Styx would not let it stay in that person's body forever.
If it was the spirit of the Blood God, River Styx would not care. However, the Blood God Doppelganger was different. Back then, River Styx had comprehended the Law of the Soul and improved the Blood God Doppelganger. That was how the Blood God Doppelganger was born. The forty-nine Blood God Doppelganger were different from the Blood God Doppelganger. They all had a portion of River Styx's primordial spirit.
Even if the Blood God Doppelganger died, as long as the primordial spirit did not dissipate, River Styx could retrieve it and create another doppelganger. Moreover, as the Blood God Doppelganger cultivated, the primordial spirit would also grow stronger. Now that he had reached the realm of Quasi-saint, River Styx naturally would not give up on him. Moreover, it was not safe to let a portion of his primordial spirit wander outside.
Even in the Great Desolation, there were many evil arts. One of them was a forbidden art called the Nailhead Seven Arrow Book. This art was terrifying and vicious and could kill without leaving a trace. In the War of the Investiture of the Gods, Zhao Gongming of the Jie Sect had died to this art. Although River Styx was not afraid, if River Styx's primordial spirit was used as a guide and a Saint used this art, River Styx would be seriously injured even if he did not die. Moreover, no one knew if there was such an evil art in the Chaos. It was better to be careful.
After retrieving his primordial spirit, River Styx walked in the direction that the Golden Immortal had left. It seemed like a small step, but River Styx left thousands of miles behind him. This was the divine power of shrinking the earth into inches. Even if the distance of thousands of miles was covered by River Styx's step, it was as if it was just a matter of a few inches. Hurrying like this saved him a lot of trouble.
After walking for about half a day, River Styx finally saw a place with signs of human habitation. It was a huge city with bluish-gray walls and visible towers. On the walls and at the city gate, there were soldiers moving about. River Styx suddenly felt as if he had arrived in ancient times. Only the innumerable formations and runes carved on the walls dispelled this illusion.
Looking at the scene at the city gate, River Styx could not help but feel embarrassed. At the city gate, everyone entered the city from here, but no one flew directly into the city. Everyone who entered had paid the so-called entrance tax. Even the Golden Immortal that the Blood God Doppelganger had possessed was queuing up to enter the city.
From this, it could be seen that this city was not an ordinary city. River Styx had walked for tens of thousands of miles in this half a day. There were mountains and forests everywhere, and only this place had signs of human activity. It was a huge city, and the formations carved on the walls were probably the Great City-Guarding Formation. From the marks on the walls, it could be seen that this place was not peaceful, as if it was frequently attacked.
Although there was a Great City-Guarding Formation in this city, it could not prevent River Styx from peeping into the city. There were many races in this city, but the Human Race was still the majority. It could be seen that in this world, there were not only humans, but also humans. There were humans in the world of the Great Desolation, and there were humans here as well. Although they were not the same, there was not much difference. Could this be a coincidence?
Secondly, shops could be seen everywhere in the city. Just like the cities of the Human Race in the Great Desolation, they also had their own unique currency. From the conversations of the merchants and peddlers, this currency was called the Spirit Stone. It was the currency used in this world for mining and mining.
Looking at the appearance of the Spirit Stone, River Styx naturally recognized what it was. The so-called Spirit Mine was actually a Spirit Vein that had lost its spirituality. The Spirit Vein was born in accordance with Heaven's Will and could gather the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. However, once the Spirit Vein was damaged and lost its spirituality, it would transform into a Spirit Mine. It could no longer gather the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, so it could be mined and used as currency.
What made River Styx embarrassed was that he did not have any Spirit Stones. He could not possibly use Spatial Teleportation to enter the city, right? This was very likely to alarm the Tendo of this world, and then all his previous efforts would be in vain. Helpless, River Styx could only turn back to the mountain behind him. He did not believe that there were no Spirit Stones in this mountain range.
When the sun gradually set in the west, River Styx once again returned to the city gate. This trip to the deep mountains and forests had been fruitful. Not only did he find a small Spirit Vein, but he also found some Heavenly Treasures and the relics of the dead cultivators. Naturally, the Spirit Vein was unluckily torn into Spirit Stones by River Styx and became River Styx's property.
After paying the entrance tax, River Styx received an identity card from the guard. According to the guard, with this identity card, River Styx could move freely in the city. If he lost it, he would have to pay the tax again. If he was discovered by the city guards, he would be regarded as an intruder. If he resisted, he would be killed on the spot.
As soon as he entered the city, River Styx discovered that this city was different. It seemed that the person who built this city was quite skilled. Not only was there a Spirit Gathering Formation, there was also a Space Forbidding Formation. Moreover, there was a huge Spirit Vein underground. With the Spirit Gathering Formation and the Spirit Vein, the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth in the city was at least three to four times denser than outside.
In addition, there was another unique feature of this world. When River Styx analyzed the Laws and Origin of this world, he discovered that there seemed to be a special kind of Spirit Qi in this world apart from the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. River Styx had sensed this special kind of Spirit Qi from the transcendent artifacts in the hands of the cultivators who fought against the Strange Beasts of Chaos. This must be the secret of their transcendent artifacts.
After entering the city, River Styx began to stroll around. Although he called it a stroll, he was actually strolling around with a destination in mind. All the shops were his targets. Naturally, he wanted to find something useful to him. At the same time, he also wanted to listen to his surroundings and gather as much information as possible so that he could gain a clearer understanding of this world.
Hard work paid off. After buying what he wanted, River Styx found a tavern to stay in and tried a meal that he had not eaten in a long time. Ever since he came to the Great Desolation, River Styx had not eaten anything for a very long time. To him, these were merely appetites. Now that he was reliving it, it had a different flavor.
When night fell, River Styx used his soul to read the few jade slips he had bought during the day. Most of these jade slips recorded the region, history, and strange stories of this world. This was the fastest way for River Styx to understand this world. Although he could not understand everything, he could get a general idea of it.
