Chapter 1165 - Story Begins
Liu Wuxie and He Yingwu departed without delay, cutting swiftly through the mountain range. Nearly a full day later, the jagged peaks receded, revealing a distant city rising on the horizon.
The city measured roughly the size of Astral Glory City, yet in the boundless Astral Domain, people regarded such a settlement as nothing more than a minor outpost.
For Liu Wuxie, this was his first time stepping into the Astral Domain. He Yingwu had spent nearly all that time enslaved on Anlu Star despite living here for over a decade.
Upon entering the city, an odd mixture of familiarity and strangeness struck them.
"This is truly a paradise for cultivators. Look at those fourth-grade spiritual pills! They're discarded like trash," He Yingwu said, his face alight with excitement.
On the True Martial Continent, people prized such pills as supreme treasures, but here, sellers treated them as rubbish, and buyers were exceedingly rare.
Liu Wuxie's expression remained calm; he had long expected this sight. The Astral Domain vastly outclassed the True Martial Continent, but it still fell short of the Celestial Realm.
The streets bustled with hurried pedestrians. Most were Heaven Profound Realm cultivators. People rarely found Earth Profound Realm cultivators, and most of them lived as ordinary citizens, while children usually made up the Spirit Profound Realm ranks.
Those who reached the Transcendent Realm could easily secure employment as clan guards, earning a modest livelihood. Ironically, many at the Heaven Profound Realm still lived at the bottom of society.
"Three Mountain House—let's have a look," Liu Wuxie said, halting abruptly. Inside, the shelves displayed all manner of rare and exotic items, yet there were no pills or artifacts in sight.
"Boss, give me a map of the Astral Domain," Liu Wuxie requested. He needed it to locate the Heavenly Dragon Sect.
"Young Master, do you want the map for the Laman Astral Domain or the other Astral Domains?" the shopkeeper asked. Complete maps of all four domains were nonexistent, and only an immortal could create one.
