Chapter 1312 - Chapter 1312 Chapter 1176 Forty-Six Cities Cloud City

Chapter 1312: Chapter 1176: Forty-Six Cities, Cloud City! Chapter 1312: Chapter 1176: Forty-Six Cities, Cloud City! Cloud City was quite peculiar; it perched atop a snow-covered mountain range, with a spacious yet extremely winding road leading from the plains to the high mountains. Some parts of the road even spanned between cliffside plank roads, and from time to time, one could see huge stone bridges that stretched between the mountains, majestic and imposing.

The origin of Cloud City’s name likely came from the white snow and fog.

The city wasn’t as vast as Chu Mu and his friends had imagined, which made Chu Mu think of the scale of World City.

World City, a First-Level Border City, occupied an area approximately the size of Cloud City.

However, upon entering Cloud City, everyone realized that this grand Seventh-Grade Border City was actually far smaller than Sixth-Level Wen City.

“Strange, Cloud City can’t be this tiny, can it?” The Morning Crown Prince asked, standing on the long stone bridge with a puzzled look on his face.

The small size of Cloud City was unexpected; the others were as baffled as Ye Wansheng.

“Is this your first time in Cloud City?” A man passing by heard Ye Wansheng’s words and asked with a slight smile.

“Yeah,” the Morning Crown Prince nodded.

“Hehe, then don’t rush into the city. Just stand on this arch bridge for a while, and soon you won’t feel like Cloud City is so small anymore,” the somewhat scholarly man chuckled. “I’m waiting for someone here, and it’s been a long time since I’ve enjoyed the view of Cloud City.”

The man said no more, and the six of them did not move forward either, for they noticed that apart from the youth of their age, there were also many others standing on the stone bridge, seemingly waiting for something.

“Whooosh~~~~~~~~~~~~~”

A gust of wind blew from far away, like a gentle hand slowly lifting the veil of fog from this great expanse of mountains, revealing cleaner green mountains and clearer white city walls and eaves.

The fog continued to disperse, and some mountaintops gradually came into view.

However, when the veil was lifted, what appeared on the mountaintops was not the white snow, but densely arranged buildings without any city walls.

Between the buildings were bustling streets, and one could vaguely see crowds as small as ants walking there…

It was a city sitting atop a large mountain not far away; when the fog dispersed, one could also see a bridge, as vibrant as a rainbow, spanning several mountains, connecting these two cities. People still came and went on the bridge, and when the clouds had not completely cleared, it was like walking on a bridge in the clouds.

“There’s another city, spanning several mountain ranges; this is truly innovative,” the Morning Crown Prince exclaimed in surprise. Building a city on top of a mountain was already a rare sight to begin with.

“Keep watching,” the youth beside them said.

Right after he spoke, on the south side of the second city, a row of towering mountain peaks and cliffs gradually became visible through the dispersing fog. It seemed that there were sentry posts on those cliffs as one could barely make out individuals standing there.

Beyond these sentry posts, the edge of an ancient palace in a higher place slowly emerged from between the clouds and mountains.

This palace, exuding a sense of age and quietude but without ostentatious splendor, instilled a sense of awe.

The full view of the palace slowly became visible, with the terrain behind it dropping sharply to a flatter plateau. There, more densely packed buildings and streets began to emerge…

That was yet another city, situated about three large mountains away from the second one!

Realization dawned upon the six observers at that moment, and they subconsciously scanned over the mountainous expanse cloaked by fog.

There were many cloud-wrapped mountains similar to those where cities might be perched; most of them were still obscured by clouds, but the bridges that spanned from one peak to another were becoming progressively clearer.

At this point, the group could see about a dozen tall stone bridges, and deeper in the foggy mountains, the long shadows of bridges were clearly cast among the sky, clouds, and mountains…

Each mountain was far from smooth, with occasional sighting of bottomless ravines and abysses, lending an even more majestic and grandiose ambiance to each city. One could imagine the breathtaking spectacle it would be to gaze from an optimal vantage point and take in the sight of all these mountain and cloud cities once all the dark clouds had dissipated.

“Cloud City is located atop very high mountains; even the largest of mountains can provide only limited space, which has led to the Seventh-Level Boundary City of Cloud City being divided by several mountains into many individual cities. Those grand and lofty bridges that you see flitting between the mountains are the thoroughfares connecting the different districts of Cloud City. There are 46 cities in total, each with a size at least equivalent to a First-Level Boundary City…” The man explained with a laugh and, after finishing, he particularly glanced at the Morning Crown Prince and said, “Now, you don’t think Cloud City is small anymore, do you?”

Coming back from his amazement, the Morning Crown Prince quickly nodded earnestly. This was much more vast than Wanxiang City by an untold number of times!

“Oh, I’ve forgotten to introduce myself. My name is Xu Daofeng, a Divine Sect Apprentice,” the man who claimed to be Xu Daofeng said.

As Xu Daofeng mentioned the Divine Sect, although he tried to suppress his pride, his eyes still sparkled slightly.

Meanwhile, the soul pet trainers coming and going around them, upon hearing his words, also took special glances in Xu Daofeng’s direction, revealing a mix of respect and envy.

“The Divine Sect seems really popular. By the way, what is a Divine Sect Apprentice?” Ye Wansheng asked out of nowhere.

Xu Daofeng offered a dry laugh and said, “Yeah, you could say that. An apprentice is essentially a probationary member.”

“So they haven’t been confirmed yet. And even without confirmation, they’re already so remarkable. Look, those girls who just walked past you, they’ve reached the city gate and they’re still turning back to glance at you from time to time,” Ye Wansheng commented.

After being called out by Ye Wansheng like that, Xu Daofeng genuinely didn’t know how to respond. If he were to casually agree, wouldn’t that seem a bit arrogant and complacent? Chief Officer Lu, his mentor, had repeatedly cautioned him not to be rash and that those with impure intentions would be kicked out.

“We haven’t introduced ourselves yet,” Xu Daofeng changed the subject, seeming genuinely interested in getting to know the group.

Ye Wansheng loved to talk, and introductions were his forte.

“You must be here for the two beauties. I’ll introduce them first. This is my sister, Ye Qingzi, a Xuan Master. And this miss is of the Mu Clan, Mu Qingyi. I am Ye Wansheng, and this young fellow is Chao Lengchuan. The very cool guy is Uncle Bai Yu, and this is Chu Mu, our leader, also known as the Goddess Slayer,” Ye Wansheng explained.

Since they were from the Divine Sect, Chu Mu naturally wanted to get acquainted. After all, he would still need to apply to the Divine Sect independently, and knowing someone could save him a great deal of trouble. Ye Wansheng seemed to possess adequate communication skills, but that nickname made Chu Mu’s face darken a bit.

“Oh, oh,” Xu Daofeng nodded, his gaze lingering the longest on Ye Qingzi.

Being a Xuan Master meant being capable of refining Xuan Objects, a Spirit Master. Just that stature alone was more valuable than his identity as a Divine Sect Apprentice!

To be honest, Xu Daofeng was indeed drawn to the two beauties, and, being bored while waiting, he was inclined to start a conversation. What he hadn’t expected was that one of the beauties was a Xuan Master. He felt a bit embarrassed for the pride he had felt before; just as Chief Officer Lu said, there are always people better than oneself. This female Xuan Master was not much different in age from himself!

“Daofeng, what are you doing?” A woman’s voice came from behind.

The woman’s voice seemed devoid of emotion, very light and faint.

Chu Mu turned to look and saw a woman with fair, unadorned cheeks and shoulder-length hair.

The woman was dressed simply and elegantly, unlike most women who loved to beautify themselves, seemingly without even a thought for makeup.

Her eyes were quite beautiful, but her gaze was cold and aloof. Coupled with her stern face, she gave off an air of high sophistication and unapproachability.

This woman made Chu Mu think of his mother, Liu Binglan. Although she did not have Liu Binglan’s breathtaking beauty, her temperament was quite similar.

“Oh, Teacher Lu, I’ve made the acquaintance of a few friends…” Xu Daofeng bowed respectfully before he answered.

Xu Daofeng was very restrained and anxious in front of Teacher Lu, as if he was afraid of saying the wrong thing or making a mistake, losing his earlier scholarly gentleness and warmth.

“It’s time for us to go,” Teacher Lu said, without even looking at Chu Mu and the others. In fact, her pace had not stopped from the moment she began to speak, moving unhurriedly.

“Oh, okay, I’ll just say goodbye to them,” said Xu Daofeng.

She nodded slightly, without further comment.

Xu Daofeng approached the six of them and smiled apologetically: “She’s my teacher, a very nice person, but she doesn’t like to interact with strangers. I have to go now. It was nice to meet you all. Once I pass the assessment, you can come find me at the Divine Sect.”

After speaking, Xu Daofeng turned and quickly followed his Teacher Lu, walking dutifully a step behind her.

As they stepped through the city gate, Chief Officer Lu glanced at Xu Daofeng beside her and asked, “Did you tell them your identity?”

“Uh… I did,” Xu Daofeng, not daring to lie, scratched his head awkwardly.

“Making friends is not a bad thing, but you have to be wary of those who try to get close to you by taking advantage of their association with Divine Sect Members for personal gain,” Chief Officer Lu said.

“I approached them first, Teacher. That woman in the blue dress is a Xuan Master,” Xu Daofeng explained.

“A Xuan Master?” A flicker of surprise finally stirred in Chief Officer Lu’s indifferent eyes.

After a moment, Chief Officer Lu continued, “Maintaining a good relationship with a Xuan Master will make your future path smoother.”

Xu Daofeng nodded, but then he suddenly realized that he had not asked where they would be staying.

Xu Daofeng smiled bitterly. Going back to find them was out of the question now; he could only wait for them to come find him…
