Chapter 434 - Heavenly Token
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Riding on the Cloud-surfing Bird, the three of them finally reached the Great Yuan City after three days.
It was the superpower in the Yuanwu Domain that was closest to the Hong Domain, which was why they could reach it so quickly.
The city walls of Great Yuan City were thousands of meters tall and built entirely from Dark Steel. The gigantic construction laid on the ground with an imposing manner as if it was an ancient giant beast resting here.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Hong Qingxuan took her Cloud-surfing Bird away, and the three of them descended outside the city's gate.
The gate was closed, with sixteen soldiers in silver armors standing tall and straight guarding it. All of them were at either Lv 1 or 2 of True Spirit Realm.
Su Mo was shocked that even the guards were at True Spirit Realm, and he was wondering how powerful Great Yuan City must be!
He took a deep breath, estimating that this Great Yuan City alone was probably capable of dominating the entire Hong Domain!
"Who are you? What are you doing here?"
The young leader of the soldiers glanced at them and shouted coldly as they walked to the gate.
"I'm a disciple of the Celestial Spirit Sect. I wish to use your city's Domain-teleporting Formation!" Hong Qingxuan said loudly.
"Disciple of Celestial Spirit Sect?"
The soldier was shocked upon hearing, but he furrowed his brows. The Domain-teleporting Formation of Great Yuan City was not opened to just anyone. Even if they were disciples of one of the seven superpowers of East Continent, they could not use the formation at whim.
Just when the soldier was about to turn them down, Hong Qingxuan flipped her palm to reveal a light gold colored token.
This token was the size of a palm, and there were nine vivid sky-breaking mountains carved onto it, giving off a tremendous aura.
"Heavenly Token!"
The young soldier was instantly shocked to see Hong Qingxuan holding that.
He immediately cupped his fists at them, saying, "Please come with me, I'll bring you to see the elder!"
Su Mo was astonished, it seemed like the token in her hand was something extraordinary!
The young soldier opened the gates swiftly and brought the three of them toward the center of Great Yuan City.
As Su Mo was flying in the city, he was bewildered by what he saw.
The city seemed quite deserted, not even as crowded and prosperous as Sunnywood City.
Hong Qingxuan and Wu Sheng were also puzzled.
Seeing their confused expressions, the soldier laughed and explained, "There are no other residents in our Great Yuan City. These people who live here are either the elders and disciples of Great Yuan City or their family members."
They were suddenly enlightened. No wonder the population was low since this city was equivalent to a sect.
A few moments later, the young soldier brought them to a grand house to see its owner.
The owner was a chubby elder with an unfathomable aura. He was the tenth elder of Great Yuan City.
"So you are a respected disciple of Celestial Spirit Sect!"
The elder saw the token in Hong Qingxuan's hand, he laughed and said, "You could use the Domain-teleporting Formation, but you would have to provide the necessary spiritual stones to activate the formation!"
"That is the least we can do, thank you, senior!" Hong Qingxuan bowed to the elder with a faint smile.
Su Mo was secretly astonished by the power of the Heavenly Token as even this unfathomable powerful elder of Great Yuan City had to do her a favor. It seemed like Hong Qingxuan had an extraordinary identity in Celestial Spirit Sect!
"Alright!" The elder nodded while he secretly wondered about Hong Qingxuan's identity.
The Heavenly Token in her hand was not something to be taken lightly. There were only nine such tokens in East Continent, and each of them represented the presence of one of the Masters of Celestialspirit Sect.
The elder then brought them to a palace in the city.
It was completely empty apart from two massive and complicated formation inscriptions carved on the ground.
They were extremely complicated and profound, impossible to be comprehended by a common martial artist. Only an expert formation master could understand them.
"Ok! This is the Domain-teleporting Formation. The one on the left transports you westward to the Dayan Domain, while the one on the right transports you northward to the Heavenly Star Domain!"
The elder pointed toward the formation inscriptions and continued, "If you want to go to the Dayan Domain, you have to place four spiritual stones of the highest grade in the four starting containers. Otherwise, you have to put in 4,000 Upper-Grade spiritual stones or 4,000,000 medium spiritual stones. Lower spiritual stones can't be used!"
"Hiss!"
Su Mo and Wu Sheng were stunned by his words as they gasped simultaneously.
"4,000,000 medium spiritual stones are required to activate the formation once? Wouldn't that be equivalent to 4,000,000,000 lower spiritual stones?"
Su Mo was completely speechless since his entire wealth was only about 4,000,000,000. He thought that he was incredibly rich, but now he realized that it was only enough to activate the Domain-teleporting Formation once!
Furthermore, his spiritual stones were mostly lower grade, meaning that they could not even be used.
Initially, he had wanted to offer the spiritual stones required to activate the Transporting Formation since he was only able to use it thanks to Hong Qingxuan, but he immediately discarded the idea.
Su Mo looked toward Hong Qingxuan, assuming she had sufficient spiritual stones since it was her idea to use the Domain-teleporting Formation.
Hong Qingxuan remained indifferent, cupped her fists at the elder and said courteously, "Senior, we shall make a move then. If you have the chance to go to the Dark Domain, please visit Celestialspirit Sect. I'll do my best to welcome you!"
"Haha! I'll be there if I've got the chance!" the elder laughed, he now had a better impression of Hong Qingxuan.
As a disciple of a superpower in the East Continent, she was not arrogant at all, but courteous and humble instead. She was very likable.
Hong Qingxuan then took out four bright, chicken egg-sized crystals, and placed them into the four starting containers of the formation.
Those crystals were spiritual stones of the highest grade!
Su Mo was awestruck by the fact that she actually had the highest grade of spiritual stones with her.
They stood in the formation after the stones were placed into the starting containers. After a few breaths, the formation activated with a dazzling white light pillar that shot into the sky.
After another few breaths, the light pillar dissipated, and the three of them had already disappeared.
...
After a moment of lightheadedness, they appeared at a similar palace, the other end of the Domain-teleporting Formation, which was Great Yuan City's territory in the Dayan Domain.
"Let's head toward the Skysea Sect!"
Hong Qingxuan called out to them and left the formation, while Su Mo and Wu Sheng quickly followed behind.
Hong Qingxuan had most likely done her homework, as she had a clear understanding of the various superpowers along their journey.
In the next two months or so, they continued to borrow the Domain-teleporting Formations from other forces and crossed over 30 domains.
After those two months, they arrived at the Blackdragon Domain, which was one domain away from the Dark Domain.
Throughout the journey, Su Mo and Wu Sheng had been greatly impressed by Hong Qingxuan's status as a disciple of a superpower, using only a Heavenly Token to access and cross through all the domains so easily.
Su Mo and Wu Sheng finally realized the benefits of having a good status. It would have taken them at least two years if they went flying to the Dark Domain.
