Luo Fengling's Mt. Fengling was still quite a distance away from the Fire Cloud State's main peak.
This distance was not completely barren. Yi Yun followed Fairy Black Bamboo and along the way, other than seeing many mountains and rivers, he also saw some countries.
Yi Yun's eyesight was extremely good, so even though he was flying high in the sky, he could still clearly see the lives of the commoners in these countries.
He saw a bustling city. In these cities, there were similarly crowded streets. There were hawkers hawking their wares on the streets. Of course, there were also numerous martial schools and escort agencies. From the looks of it, it was no different from the mortal world of the Tian Yuan world.
The only difference was that in these cities, there were many Fey race members who had yet to completely transform. Some of these Fey race members had tails, while others were covered in fur. There were even some with human faces and Fey bodies.
"There are mortals in the Fey race too?"
Yi Yun looked at these Fey race members who clearly had average strength and asked Fairy Black Bamboo. In his impression, the Fey race was similar to the spirits in novels. Could powerless Fey race members take human form?
"Yes." Fairy Black Bamboo was still flying in front of Yi Yun. High in the sky, the strong winds were blowing, but it did not even lift her veil. "The first generation of the Fey race was made up of all living things and plants, absorbing the essence of the Heaven and Earth to become Fey. They were naturally powerful, but their descendants might not inherit their strength. Many of the Fey race's bloodlines would become weaker in the long river of history, eventually becoming ordinary. This bloodline gives birth to many mortals of the Fey race. Their strength is probably equivalent to a human's Body Tempering realm strength."
"Although it is said that the Fey race prioritizes bloodlines, and Fey race members with powerful bloodlines are stronger, there are always exceptions. There are some Fey race members with ordinary bloodlines who, due to various reasons and special opportunities, slowly grow stronger. They might even be stronger than Fey race members with powerful bloodlines."
As she thought highly of Yi Yun, Fairy Black Bamboo patiently explained to Yi Yun's questions.
"So that's how it is."
Yi Yun nodded. It was normal for powerful Fey race members to have descendants with ordinary bloodlines.
However, just like how peerless Great Emperors could be born among humans of ordinary birth, ordinary Fey race members could also have mighty Fey race figures.
"It looks like although there are many experts in the 12 Empyrean Heavens, there are also many mortals. Not everyone is powerful."
As Yi Yun was thinking, he arrived at the Fire Cloud State's main mountain.
Upon seeing the Fire Cloud State's main peak, Yi Yun was still shocked despite being mentally prepared.
This mountain wasn't like a normal mountain peak that was like a sharp arrow piercing into the blue sky. It wasn't too tall, only around ten thousand zhang or so, but the amount of space it took up was too great, looking simply like a country.
There were palaces everywhere on the mountain peak, as well as spirit plants and medicinal gardens. At this time, there were flowers blooming, looking like a colorful sea of flowers.
The melted snow on the mountain gushed down from the top of the mountain. However, it was not a gurgling stream, but a surging river. The mountain was too big. Just the melted snow and ice converged into a river!
At the waist of the mountain, the great river was cut off, forming hundreds of waterfalls that were thousands of feet high. They surged down like white dragons, bombarding the mountain rocks and causing rumbling sounds!
"This is the Fire Cloud State's main peak? So big! "
Yi Yun took a glance at the number of palaces. There were countless of them, and in between the palaces, there were countless ancient trees that towered into the sky. It looked extremely spectacular. The scale of these palaces was probably enough to house a hundred million people!
Yi Yun knew that the rocks in the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven were much harder than those in the lower realms. It was unknown how much wealth was needed to build such a palace complex. Only a warrior's world could have such a terrifying scale of buildings.
"Can so many palaces be used up?"
Yi Yun could not help but ask. He knew that the number of mortals and Fey in the Fire Cloud State was probably in the tens of billions, but the number of true Luo clan disciples was very small. How could such palaces be used up?
Fairy Black Bamboo said lightly, "There are many types of palaces. Other than the Elder Hall and the Deacon Hall, the palaces below are the palaces that the Earth Fire Hall disciples live in. Every Earth Fire Hall disciple can have an independent palace complex."
"In the Fire Cloud State, there are many mortal Fey countries formed by mortals. However, the palaces that these mortal Fey countries' Fey Emperors live in are incomparable to the palaces that an Earth Fire Hall disciple lives in."
Fairy Black Bamboo's tone was calm, but the words she said left Yi Yun astounded.
This was equivalent to saying that every Earth Fire Hall disciple was given a palace that was bigger and more luxurious than a mortal's palace!
Of course, this luxury was not reflected in gold and silver, but in the various arrays used for cultivation. There were all sorts of treasures and containers refined from precious materials, as well as the stone and wood used in the palaces themselves.
In the Fire Cloud State, Heaven Fire Hall personal disciples were given a mountain, while Earth Fire Hall disciples were slightly worse, but they were given a palace!
More than a thousand Earth Fire Hall disciples were equivalent to more than a thousand palaces gathered together!
Together with the palaces owned by the Elders, Deacons and Guardians, it formed the Fire Cloud State's main mountain complex!
Noticing Yi Yun's expression, Fairy Black Bamboo said, "Do you think there are a lot of palaces? Actually, there aren't many. The Luo clan has existed for nearly a hundred million years. There have been a few ups and downs in between, but they have managed to survive through great difficulty. Although our Fire Cloud State's history is slightly shorter, it still has fifty million years. Even if we build a palace every ten thousand years, there will still be five thousand palaces accumulated. It is very easy to build this palace complex. "
When Fairy Black Bamboo said this, Yi Yun drew a gasp. Yes, a history of a hundred million years or even half a hundred million years sounded easy, but if one really experienced it, the length of time was unimaginable.
In such a long period of time, a faction's heritage and accumulation would reach a terrifying state.
This palace complex was just a miniature version. The cost of building them was definitely extremely high, or it would not be able to withstand the erosion of tens of millions of years of wind and frost. With so many palaces and so few disciples, it was not considered extravagant for an Earth Fire Hall disciple to be given a palace to live in. Without a palace to live in, there was nothing to do.
It was no wonder that miscellaneous chores disciples like Dong Hu, Bai Wei and Sun Lie were so eager to become Earth Fire Hall disciples.
They came from small tribal clans, so once they became Earth Fire Hall disciples, it could be said that they had ascended to the heavens in a single bound!
One had to know that the entire Fire Cloud State was the Luo clan's Fire Cloud State!
Ignoring the Fire Cloud State's Elders, just an Earth Fire Hall disciple's status was very likely higher than the emperor of a mortal Fey kingdom. This point could be determined just by looking at the place the Earth Fire Hall disciple lived in and the resources they expended.
From a mortal to a warrior, it was like the difference between heaven and earth. The gap was like a chasm. Ignoring the strength, just the difference in lifespan was thousands of times. This was not something that could be made up for with the status of emperor!
In 2017, I wish everyone a happy new year.
