Chapter 1420: Chapter 682: Wuxiang City (Part 3)

In a brief chat with Ji Chang’an, he had already understood the general situation of Wuxiang City.

First of all, Wuxiang City has a vast area, surrounded by mountains to the north, and to the east, south, and west are three meandering long rivers, extending to an unknown distant end.

In Wuxiang City, there are many outsiders like him. As outsiders, the first requirement upon arriving here is to find a place to stay. Without a place to stay, they would be expelled from the city by the city guards.

Inside the city is very safe, without any danger, and private fighting is strictly forbidden. That City Lord of Wuxiang City, nobody knows where he comes from, but according to Ji Chang’an’s description, he is almost invincible in Wuxiang City, and no one can defy him.

Outside the city, however,

whether it’s Wuxiang Mountain to the north or the three Wuxiang Rivers to the east, south, and west, it’s very dangerous. Exotic beasts often appear in the mountains and rivers, and even the weakest of these beasts are difficult for thirty to fifty laborers to handle together.

Usually, only specialized Hunters forming teams can deal with those exotic beasts.

Exotic beasts are extremely valuable. If a person can hunt an exotic beast, they can exchange it for a large amount of ’Source Stones’ in the city. According to Chen Mu’s understanding, these Source Stones are the currency within Wuxiang City, and their essence is very special, even capable of extracting Origin Power!

Obviously,

the survival rules of Wuxiang City are already very clear.

Either join some Hunter forces, form a team to hunt exotic beasts together, then trade them for Source Stones in Wuxiang City and share them, extracting Origin Power from them to reside in Wuxiang City long-term.

Or act alone, not hunting those exotic beasts, but seeking some valuable rare flowers and herbs, which can also be exchanged for Source Stones. However, acting alone is often very dangerous. One must have sufficient strength to protect themselves in front of exotic beasts.

Ji Chang’an runs a shop that purchases exotic beasts, rare flowers, and herbs.

At the same time,

he also knows some Hunter teams and is willing to introduce opportunities to Chen Mu, of course, requiring that the exotic beasts, rare flowers, and herbs Chen Mu acquires will all be traded and sold through him.

After the conversation, Chen Mu already knew that Ji Chang’an should be an indigenous living being in Wuxiang City, but what was unusual was that Ji Chang’an seemed to be very knowledgeable about them, the beings from the outside universe!

Even,

in his conversation with Ji Chang’an, Chen Mu vaguely felt that Ji Chang’an’s attitude towards him was almost strangely consistent with his own attitude, as if these indigenous living beings in the city believed that they, the beings from the outer universe, were the so-called ’aboriginals’, considering that everything in Wuxiang City is the only reality, and everything else is illusion.

These beings from the universe, lucky enough to step into Wuxiang City, could get a chance to escape illusion and achieve reality, though most of the beings in the universe fail to grasp this opportunity and quickly return to illusion.

This situation of blurring truth and illusion, mingling indistinguishably, made Chen Mu marvel in his heart.

But he is a Divine Monarch of Great Perfection in the Nine Layer Heavens, rising from insignificance, cultivating to this day, and his will has always been extremely firm. This situation of confusing reality and illusion cannot disturb his State of Mind in the slightest.

What does it matter if it’s illusion or reality?

Becoming a Dao Venerable is the only thing that matters. By then, whether it’s illusion or reality, it doesn’t matter, because by integrating with the Great Dao, one jumps out of Wuxiang City, leaps beyond the vast universe, and breaks out of the cage, achieving unique freedom.
