Chapter 353 - 314: Inter-city Teleportation (3rd Update)
Ye Chen wanted to travel to the Domain Lord Divine City of the Xiangyang Domain, which was situated in the heart of the Xiangyang Domain, at least tens of millions of miles away from Xia Valley City—an astonishingly vast distance.
Even for him, under the complete path of 10,000 Dao and suppression of the Heavenly Dao, his strength couldn’t be demonstrated as it could be in the Tiandu Continent, and it was impossible to shatter the void to enter the Space of Plane for high-speed traversal. It would take at least half a year to reach the Domain Lord Divine City.
Fortunately, Xia Valley City was also considered an extraordinary stronghold within the Xiangyang Domain, and such strongholds usually had Transmission Arrays to shuttle to other important cities.
The use of such arrays was certainly not free and required a certain fee. It wasn’t the mundane Gold Coins that were applicable only to mortals; for cultivators, the universal currency was Spirit Stones, the most practical currency in the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, acceptable wherever cultivators resided.
Many transactions between cultivators were conducted using Spirit Stones.
It’s worth mentioning that Spirit Stones are a type of mineral condensed from nature’s spiritual energy, or to be more precise, they are Divine Items formed from the materialization of spiritual energy, imbued with abundant nature’s spiritual energy, suitable for cultivation.
Even the materialized Spirit Stones were quite heavy; a Spirit Stone the size of a baby’s fist could weigh ten pounds, and the nature’s spiritual energy contained within it was enough to sustain a Demigod Strong One’s cultivation for half a month.
Naturally, the birth of Spirit Stones required a Spirit Vein and such Divine minerals were usually controlled by various major forces. Ordinary cultivators could only obtain a small portion of Spirit Stones and they were sold by weight.
To carry out inter-city traversals, the cost in Spirit Stones was required, and generally, it started at over a hundred pounds per person.
It was expensive, but that was just the cost, as the Transmission Array needed significant Liu Ang to maintain, monopolized by the leading powers of the ancient cities. One had to either possess absolute strength or the ability to fly across cities to avoid payment.
Generally speaking, within large domains like the Xiangyang Domain, which were not very prosperous, over ninety percent of the area remained undeveloped, part of the Barbaric wilderness, and distances between two ancient cities were at least tens of thousands of miles, with some barbaric regions even exceeding a million miles.
