Di Qing’s rented cave dwelling was located in the inner city of Rain Ripple City. From the outside, it looked ordinary, but upon entering, the space was ten thousand times larger.
Luo Feng and the other three walked in together.
“I’ll divide the space first,” Di Qing said, and the huge internal space naturally divided, with two small spaces carved out in the corners, a public courtyard left in the middle, and the remaining space divided in half.
“You can decide how to build the internal space yourselves,” Di Qing said.
“I’ll take the left one.”
“Then I’ll take the right one.” Di Ming and Di Fu didn’t hesitate and proactively chose the two small corner spaces.
“Without any fees, and being able to follow Di Qing and Luo He, is already a blessing. What more could we ask for?” They knew very well that without Di Qing and Luo He, their survival in the city would be a hundred or a thousand times more difficult.
“I’ll send you a detailed report on Rain Ripple City. Study it carefully first,” Di Qing said before heading to his own area.
Di Ming, Di Fu, and Luo Feng also entered their respective spaces.
“The living space isn’t bad,” Di Ming said, sensing the speed of energy absorption. “This energy absorption speed can reach 30% of my maximum speed.”
“Not bad. My strength is at a bottleneck, and my energy requirements are low. Generally, you only absorb energy to the maximum extent during a period of rapid growth. After reaching the limit, you only absorb a little energy to maintain survival.”
“The space is quite large.” Luo Feng looked at the empty space. With a thought, energy gathered, and naturally, many palaces and pavilions like the Nine-Grid Guest Hall began to form. Then, he stepped to the highest point of the pavilion, happily took out a pot of wine, and studied the information about Rain Ripple City while drinking.
Rain Ripple City was built by cultivators and is ruled by the Elder Hall. The Elder Hall currently has three Hall Masters and 327 Elders. Anyone who reaches the God Emperor Late Stage or the Half-Chaotic Source level can apply to become an Elder.
Once you can drive part of Rain Ripple City’s defense system, you can become an Elder. If the degree of driving is extremely high, you can even become a Hall Master. Luo Feng looked at the information. “Every Elder needs to be able to increase Rain Ripple City’s defense capabilities. The Elder Hall is really making contributions.” Luo Feng carefully read the detailed information. Once you become a member of the Elder Hall, you need to reside in Rain Ripple City to ensure the city’s defense.
They cannot leave Rain Ripple City even a step, and those who can become members of the Elder Hall have the strength to go to the Dark Sacred World.
The strongest desire of every Half-Chaotic Source expert is definitely to jump out of the cage, and there are more opportunities to jump out of the cage in the Dark Sacred World. However, the members of the Elder Hall have always stayed in the Nine River Sacred World, and haven’t even left Rain Ripple City.
“So, those who can become members of the Elder Hall generally have clones. They just leave a clone here, and the other clones have already gone to the Dark Sacred World.”
Luo Feng guessed, “Being able to have clones also represents one thing: the ruling core of Rain Ripple City, the members of the Elder Hall, should all be from the Origin World.” Luo Feng deduced a lot of information. Experts from the Myriad Worlds don’t have clones, and after their strength is strong enough, few are willing to stay in the Nine River Sacred World forever.
“Cultivators living in Rain Ripple City need one Chaotic Source Crystal per season, and they also need to have a place to live. All residences in the city can only be rented.” Luo Feng understood that these fees are the official income of Rain Ripple City. They need to support a group of law enforcement cultivators and maintain the city’s defense system. The remainder is then distributed among the three Hall Masters and 327 Elders. This income must be very high to attract these experts to keep their clones here for a long time.
God Emperors and below are the mainstream in Rain Ripple City, numbering in the hundreds of millions. There are millions of God Emperors. Luo Feng looked at the information. Those who cultivate the Dao generally can comprehend the complete Great Dao, so the difficulty of becoming a God Emperor is not too great. However, those who rely on their bloodlines seem to grow easily, but the height of their growth depends on their bloodline. If the bloodline is not strong enough, they may be trapped at the God King Ultimate level forever.
Rain Ripple City has an intelligence organization that sells information about all the God Emperors, but he can’t afford it.
“Moreover, the information collected on the God Emperors can’t be truly comprehensive.” For example, Luo Feng just arrived in Rain Ripple City, and the outside world naturally doesn’t have detailed information about him.
…
“Brother Luo He.” Di Qing’s voice came from afar as he arrived at the entrance to Luo Feng’s space.
“Brother Di Qing.” Luo Feng immediately opened the entrance.
“Information on all the God Emperors in Rain Ripple City is quite expensive, right?”
Di Qing walked over and smiled. “However, it can only collect information on about 90% of the God Emperors at most, because there are still some God Emperors who break through silently, and it is difficult to understand their information without them actively exposing themselves. Even the information sold only records what can be detected. Many God Emperors have hidden methods,” Di Qing said. “But no matter what, you don’t need to buy it in a short time, but over time, you should still buy a copy.”
Only with a copy of the information can you know how many terrifying existences are hidden in Rain Ripple City and who cannot be provoked,” Di Qing said.
Luo Feng understood.
“This information is very expensive and also contains a Star Day Technique, which is forbidden to be spread,” Di Qing said. “So I can’t pass it on to you.”
Luo Feng also understood that it was conceivable how difficult it was to collect information on so many God Emperors in the entire city. If it was spread all over the city after selling only a few copies, the intelligence organization would suffer a great loss.
“Rain Ripple City has a lot of various trade resources,” Di Qing said. “Here, everything requires Chaotic Source Crystals. I’ll lend you 100,000 Chaotic Source Crystals first, and you can pay me back after our hunt.” As Di Qing spoke, he waved his hand, and a full 100,000 Chaotic Source Crystals fell to the side, like a dazzling small mountain.
Luo Feng was really a little touched by this scene, letting himself live in the cave dwelling for free and still giving him half the space. If you really calculate the price, half of the rent for one thousand epochs is 5 million Chaotic Source Crystals, which is like giving it to himself. Now he is lending so much again. He is really the poorest when he just arrived in Rain Ripple City.
“Thanks, Brother Di Qing,” Luo Feng didn’t say much. “We are most in need of Chaotic Source Crystals when we first arrive in the Nine River Sacred World. With Chaotic Source Crystals, we can buy enough resources to strengthen ourselves.”
Di Qing smiled. “By the way, when you go out to buy resources, remember one thing.” Di Qing suddenly said solemnly, “Carry less Chaotic Source Crystals each time. In Rain Ripple City, as long as there is enough temptation, killing, looting, and stealing can all happen. Even if you have life-saving methods and treasures, the loss will be great if they are robbed.”
“I understand,” Luo Feng nodded. After all, the information he was given earlier had detailed records. Killing and looting happened occasionally, while stealing and fraud, because they didn’t involve life, the official punishment was not too great, so they were more common.
“But less is better. Even if it is stolen, it is considered tuition.”
Di Qing sighed, “The stealing methods in Rain Ripple City are varied, with many cultivation system tricks that you have never seen before.”
Luo Feng nodded slightly. After familiarizing himself with the information, Luo Feng went out of the cave dwelling alone and began to take a good stroll around this city where he would be rooted for a long time, Rain Ripple City.
Luo Feng was also very careful under Di Qing’s reminder, only carrying 5,000 Chaotic Source Crystals. “With my five clones complete, I don’t believe I can’t protect these 5,000 Chaotic Source Crystals.”
Luo Feng was cautious. He didn’t bring any treasures. The most valuable thing was these 5,000 Chaotic Source Crystals. This time, when he came to the Nine River Sacred World, Luo Feng’s energy reserves reached 1200 times perfect. The energy reserves left in his hometown, the Origin Continent, were very small. However, he was already invincible in his hometown, and the energy left by those clones was enough.
…
With 1200 times perfect energy reserves, Luo Feng’s five clones that went out this time also had 200 times perfect body reserves, which could achieve a normal extreme limit reserve.
At the moment Luo Feng left the cave dwelling, the entire Rain Ripple City was colorful, covered with various defense systems. These were all controlled by the three Hall Masters and 327 Elders of the Elder Hall. There were invisible and colorless fluctuations that swept across regularly, and the peaks and peaks swept across Luo Feng.
In the most core area of the inner city, there was a huge cave dwelling. Deep in the cave dwelling, a figure bathed in the bitter light sat there. My custom.
The whole body seemed to be cast in light, expressionless. There was a red diamond-shaped gemstone at the center of his eyebrows. A diamond-shaped creature was rapidly processing massive amounts of information inside. The information of the God Emperors, densely packed inside the city, was being collected.
A new member who entered the city, Luo Feng, resides in cave dwelling No. 99179, Tianshui District, Rain Ripple City’s inner city. His strength is suspected to be a God Emperor. It is said that he lives in the same cave dwelling as Di Qing and is suspected to be from the same Origin World. Information about Luo Feng was also among them.
While this information was being collected, it was also synchronized to another mysterious existence. In a huge cave dwelling in the inner city area of Rain Ripple City, there was a huge spherical creature entrenched. Faces would occasionally appear on the surface of the spherical creature. These faces were either howling, sleeping, full of hatred, or laughing.
At the same time, there were holes on the surface of this spherical creature, densely packed. Countless figures were entering and exiting each hole.
“Luo Feng is a new God Emperor who entered the city. Since he can live in the same place as Di Qing, he shouldn’t be poor.”
“Let this newcomer experience our Rain Ripple City customs. He should be the most common Daoist system. We can let him try the power of other systems.”
“Moya Da is entrusted to you.” An order was quickly issued.
Whoosh. A short figure flew out of the densely packed holes of the spherical creature. New God Emperor. The short figure chuckled strangely.
At this moment, his organization had already locked onto Luo Feng. The 3rd thing to do was in the public area of the city. Luo Feng had no way to hide at all. Suddenly, the short figure went straight to Luo Feng’s location.
