Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor-Chapter 978 - 988: Ancient Giant City

After a bout of dizziness, when Chu Feng opened his eyes again, he found himself in a city brimming with ancient aura.

It was significantly different from the cities on the Divine Martial Continent.

The city walls here towered a thousand meters high, reaching into the clouds.

They were constructed from massive blocks of black stone. Each block, at a minimum, weighed over a million pounds. Even the Nine Tribulations Supreme Sword God might find it difficult to move them.

It's unimaginable what kind of giant could have built such a colossal city.

Not only were the city walls intimidatingly tall, but the houses within the city were also peculiarly shaped and equally enormous.

Seeing Chu Feng's shocked expression, Ye Wu voluntarily explained, "Sword Immortal City is one of the ancient relics and is relatively well-preserved. It's said that in ancient times, gods and demons resided in this city. The Soul Valley outside became a battlefield back then because of this city."

This was quite easy to understand.

Siege and defense of the city have been fundamental rules for millions of years.

Every time a war occurs, the area outside a city becomes a battleground.

A dedicated battlefield is rare, and no two forces would foolishly agree to fight in an open area.

The only possibility is that a piece of open land holds strategic significance.

For instance, being a crucial transportation hub or a production base for strategic materials.

To maintain control of this position, armies, sometimes multiple forces, would engage in decisive battles on this ground.

"Are there people living in these houses?" Chu Feng asked curiously.

"Of course, people live here. These houses are more valuable than anywhere else. Each house has formidable defensive capabilities. Even the City Lord would find it difficult to forcibly break into any house within the city."

Ye Wu proudly introduced.

Even after more than a million years, it's still possible to see some startling battle scars.

One of the houses, as large as a small hill, had been sliced cleanly in half.

If not mistaken, it must have been cleaved by a sword-like magical treasure.

And it only took one strike.

The cut was extraordinarily smooth and dug more than ten meters deep into the ground.

The streets, by contrast, were quite simplistic, with only a hundred-meter-wide road paved with black stone bricks, similar to the ones used for the city walls.

"You can try slashing the stone on the ground with your sword! This stone is called 'Ghost-seeing sorrow.' Not only is it exceptionally heavy, but its hardness rivals that of magical treasures." Ye Wu, having entered Sword Immortal City, was already in character.

She diligently played the role of Chu Feng's girlfriend.

Anytime she noticed something that interested Chu Feng, she would immediately and willingly offer an explanation.

Suspicious yet curious, Chu Feng summoned the Dragon Slayer Sword and fiercely struck the ground.

Boom!

The result was that his Dragon Slayer Sword was bounced back, dispersing the sword light, and only leaving a shallow white mark on the ground.

"Hiss~!"

Chu Feng couldn't help but take a sharp breath. What kind of stone is this? It's terrifying.

With his strength, a full-powered strike could only leave a white mark.

These city walls, standing for over a million years, weren't destroyed in wars due to the hardness of these stones.

"Could it be that even ancient gods and demons couldn't destroy these stones?" Chu Feng asked, puzzled.

It seemed impossible.

Not to mention, just a few battle scars he saw were enough to prove the terrifying destructive power of ancient gods and demons, capable of shattering these black stones. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"When ancient gods and demons fought, there must have been arrays to protect the city walls, which is why we can see a relatively intact city." Ye Wu said with a smile.

Chu Feng nodded in sudden realization.

How could he forget about arrays? His Azure Dragon City also boasted the Divine Martial Continent's most defensible City Protection Array.

This Sword Immortal City, being from ancient times, would certainly have its own array for protection.

"Why are there no people seen on the streets?" Since entering Sword Immortal City, Chu Feng eagerly anticipated encountering legendary immortals.

Even an Earth Immortal level would be great.

However, after so long, the vast street was still eerily quiet, without a single person in sight.

"Haha... You must be joking! Do you think this is one of those mortal cities on the Divine Martial Continent? This is Sword Immortal City. The lowest qualified residents inside are Nine Tribulations Supreme Sword Gods."

"Being such beings, how could they possibly parade around the streets like ordinary folks? Their time is incredibly precious, and they must devote every second to refining their cultivation, battling against fate."

Ye Wu laughed, covering her mouth like a playful sprite.

Chu Feng was embarrassingly awkward, truly like a country bumpkin entering the city and making such a big joke.

He decided that he should refrain from randomly asking questions in the future.

Using a mortal's perspective to measure immortals could easily make them think he was an idiot.

"What are the requirements to own a house inside Sword Immortal City?" Chu Feng roughly counted and found that the entire city might only have about a thousand houses at most.

The houses here possessed extraordinary defensive power.

If he could own one, he could take refuge with a few wives, a brother and sister-in-law, and a second sister when needed.

The enemies Chu Feng stirs up in the future will only grow stronger.

He's not afraid for himself, only worries about those who disregard the rules and might harm those around him.

"You want to own a house in Sword Immortal City? I'd advise you not to consider it for now. Even the worst house at the end of the block costs over a billion Spirit Stones. Moreover, all one thousand and eight houses in Sword Immortal City are owned. There's no way to buy them just because you want to."

The worst house in Sword Immortal City costs a billion Spirit Stones.

Chu Feng was genuinely startled by this exorbitant price.

A billion Spirit Stones; selling a Super Ninth Grade Soul Reviving Pill only got him three million Spirit Stones.

After deducting the handling fee, only 2.7 million remained.

Trying to gather a billion Spirit Stones was simply unimaginable.

"The distribution of houses in Sword Immortal City has always followed principles of fairness, justice, and openness. If a homeowner wishes to sell, or if they unfortunately perish without a successor, the house will be reclaimed."

"The City Lord will then announce the availability of the house, setting up a competition. House hopefuls must not only prepare sufficient funds but also compete with other buyers. The house is sold to whoever is the strongest."

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng felt even more hopeless.

He understood the house sale rules in Sword Immortal City.

Owning a house meant being able to settle in Sword Immortal City. To prevent weaklings from settling, this competition system was established.

This ensured that the residents of Sword Immortal City remained the strongest in the realm.
