Chapter 1194: Heading to Tian Shuang City
Editor: Henyee Translations
Having decided on his next destination, Jiang Chengxuan continued his journey across the vast expanse of the Gao Huang Plains, opting for a slow and steady approach. He moved forward unhurriedly, exploring the plains and occasionally seeking directions towards Tian Shuang City.
During his travels, Jiang Chengxuan passed through several desolate towns, exchanging his resources with traveling merchants to prepare for his upcoming breakthrough. Although he felt somewhat confident about breaking through to the Ascension Realm, he remained cautious and meticulous in his preparations.
In the goods he encountered in those desolate towns, Jiang Chengxuan noticed familiar items—remnants from the ancient relic. These items, imbued with the same Daoist power as the Water Immortal Sect’s space puppets, indicated that the relic’s opportunities had significantly revitalized the grey-market trade across the Gao Huang Plains.
Time flowed steadily as Jiang Chengxuan journeyed, and it wasn’t until he had passed through twenty desolate towns that he finally reached the border between the Gao Huang Plains and a vast mountain range. It became clear that he had thoroughly explored the plains.
According to the information he had gathered, Tian Shuang City lay nestled within this mountain range, a colossal city built upon the towering peaks, exuding an unparalleled grandeur. Jiang Chengxuan eagerly anticipated witnessing the city’s majesty.
“Let’s see just how magnificent this so-called City of a Thousand Mountains truly is,” Jiang Chengxuan murmured with anticipation. Without resting, he set off towards the myriad mountains.
Thanks to his newly acquired spatial abilities and immortal physique, Jiang Chengxuan traversed the mountains with relative ease, enjoying the scenic journey. He marveled at the layers of mist, towering peaks, and the diverse flora and fauna. Each mountain hosted unique creatures and plants, with distinct groups of monsters inhabiting different peaks, each adapting and evolving differently.
Jiang Chengxuan found the diversity fascinating, speculating that the massive mountain range might conceal extraordinary secrets. However, his current focus was not on unraveling these mysteries but on reaching Tian Shuang City.
As he ventured deeper into the mountains, Jiang Chengxuan encountered towering peaks that pierced the clouds, seemingly home to terrifying monsters. Even from a distance, their menacing auras warned him to stay away. Respecting their territorial warnings, Jiang Chengxuan chose to bypass these areas quietly.
From what he had observed, Jiang Chengxuan inferred that Tian Shuang City must be a place teeming with martial vigor and combative spirit. Only such a spirit could sustain a massive city amidst these perilous mountains.
“Tian Shuang City, I look forward to seeing you…” Jiang Chengxuan thought, feeling a mixture of excitement and curiosity. After residing in the tranquil environment of the Dan Alliance, focusing on alchemy, he welcomed the change of pace that Tian Shuang City promised.
Despite his steady progress, the vastness of the mountain range exceeded Jiang Chengxuan’s expectations, once again reminding him of the extraordinary scale of the Immortal Realm, far surpassing the lower realms.
Just as he began to worry about getting lost in the mountains, a welcome sight brought him joy. Standing on a rugged cliff, Jiang Chengxuan sensed human cultivators’ presence on a distant snow-capped peak. They appeared to be engaged in a battle with monsters, the powerful energies and shockwaves of their clash reaching him even from afar.
“Good fortune,” Jiang Chengxuan thought with a smile, sensing that these people were likely connected to Tian Shuang City. At the very least, they would know more about the city than he did.
Wasting no time, Jiang Chengxuan channeled his immortal power and leaped through the air, covering miles in an instant. Moving like a swift wind, he sped towards the group of cultivators.
After crossing several peaks, Jiang Chengxuan arrived at the snow-covered area. Entering a massive ice cave, he finally saw the group. There were over twenty cultivators clad in menacing armor made from monster materials, standing in neat formation.
