Chapter 361 - 4: A Strand of Gold Threads Gathered from the Sea
Taiyi City,
Nestled within the waist of a mountain range three thousand zhang high, it seemed embedded into the mountains themselves, with peaks encircling it like a green screen stretched for a thousand miles.
Looking around, a dense mass of Immortal Boats hovered in the sky, while Cultivators from the City Lord Mansion of Taiyi City flew on swords to maintain order. Their role was not much different from that of policemen, and in the Cultivation World, they were known as Imperial Guards.
Over a thousand Imperial Guards bounded all the Immortal Boats within a fifty-mile radius of Taiyi City, arranging them into four ’Yangtze Rivers’, as if the vast ocean were flowing upstream into the river, the expanse contracting into river streams.
At first, Gu Wen had found this sight quite novel, but gradually, he began to yawn, reduced to watching the boats crawl forward at a snail’s pace.
Initially, he could rely on the huge hull of his boat to push aside others, but once entering the controlled area, more and more Cultivators flew past on their swords. It was said that forcibly ramming through could be considered an attack by an Evil Cultivator, with serious offenders being shot down directly by Taiyi City’s defensive Array.
At the very least, they’d end up sitting out their days in prison, or else handing over a hefty fine.
The Cultivation World wasn’t so uncivilized; it looked quite prosperous and peaceful. That burgeoning vitality, where all things strive to flourish....
Just as the thought arose, suddenly a dazzling firelight lit up in the distance, transforming a thousand-zhang Immortal Boat into a miniature sun.
Huge debris crashed towards the nearby Immortal Boats, massive vessels of the same thousand-zhang class were instantly engulfed in flames, also starting to topple over, affecting another ship like falling dominoes.
