Chapter 444 Heavenly Ripple
"Captain Shi, long time no see."
Qin Ming smiled faintly, and his figure immediately transformed in a burst of change, right in front of Shi Jin's utterly astonished gaze.
He transformed into Shopkeeper Lu's appearance. "This Senior Lu…"
Shi Jin's thoughts churned, and combined with the topic that all Fellow Cultivators had been hotly discussing in recent years, as well as the incomparably respectful attitude of Hua Tianxiong, this Mid Golden Core Cultivator towards him.
It wasn't hard to guess that this Young Cultivator before him was likely the Moon Gazing True Lord who was famous throughout the Cultivation World.
A true Nascent Soul Great Expert! In fact, it wasn't Shi Jin's first time seeing a Nascent Soul True Monarch, but Qin Ming was still the first to give him this kind of feeling.
At this moment, thinking carefully again, more than a decade ago when he encountered Senior Lu, he was already at Golden Core Perfection.
The other party was very likely returning to the Southern Wilderness and quietly making a Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage.
"So it was Senior Lu, it's actually you, congratulations Senior on Nascent Soul Formation Great Success! Junior pays respects to Moon Gazing True Lord!"
"If Senior has any orders, please feel free to command!"
Shi Jin was both uneasy and excited in his heart.
After all, Nascent Soul Great Experts always had strange personalities and temperaments, and his life and death were only in the other party's single thought.
To crush him was even simpler than crushing an ant.
What excited him was that he never expected that Shi Jin would one day be able to become acquainted with such an Important Figure in the Immortal Cultivation World.
"Yes, no need for excessive courtesy, This Seat intends to go to the East Sea Cultivation World this time, and will take your ship." Qin Ming stated his intention directly.
"After it's done, benefits will naturally be indispensable for you." Hua Tianxiong added from the side.
Shi Jin hurriedly replied, "Moon Gazing True Lord Senior's great kindness, this junior can never repay, how could I dare ask for rewards."
"To be able to help Senior, is the greatest honor of this life!"
"Two Seniors, please board the ship."
Subsequently.
Qin Ming and the other boarded the Black Sail Ship.
Hua Tianxiong kept sizing up this dilapidated and crude ship, even once doubting whether it could safely deliver them to the East Sea.
However, when he saw those bizarrely shaped Fish-Human Clan crew members, he was just as astonished as Qin Ming had been initially.
"Rest Assured, this Black Sail Ship is famously fast, This Seat has already experienced it once." Qin Ming explained to him indifferently.
Hua Tianxiong's face twitched upon hearing this, and he replied with a forced smile, "Heh heh! Yes!"
Shi Jin arranged a top-grade Guest Room for both Qin Ming and Hua Tianxiong.
Afterward.
The Black Sail Ship plunged headfirst into the deep sea, like a giant shark, swimming at an extremely fast speed.
This sight left Hua Tianxiong dumbstruck, truly opening his eyes.
Qin Ming then summoned Shi Jin over again, to inquire about news of the East Sea Cultivation World.
"You should be aware of the Blood Abyss Realm Realm Descent, right? What is the situation like in the East Sea?"
Shi Jin ordered people to serve Qin Ming and the other a table of fine wine and delicious food, before replying, "Reporting to Senior, this junior is naturally aware, and even personally witnessed Void Omens on the Island."
"This time, the Realm Descent into the East Sea Cultivation World is the Netherworld Hall from the Vast Blood Realm."
"However, the overall Strength of the East Sea Cultivation World is powerful, and there are Spirit Transformation Sects present, so the Demonic Path Realm Descent has not caused too much impact."
"Spirit Transformation Sect, Fellow Daoist Shi, are you perhaps referring to…" Hua Tianxiong couldn't help but exclaim in surprise upon hearing this.
"That's right, it is Star Palace, which governs the vast East Sea Cultivation World, in addition to that Transformation Divinity who has stood for more than two thousand years, it is said that there are also several Nascent Soul True Monarchs."
"Beneath Star Palace are Penglai Sect, Eastern Extremity Island, Ancient Sword Sect, Crystal Palace, the four Major Power Nascent Soul Sects, all of which have Nascent Soul True Monarchs sitting in command."
"Below these are countless Rogue Cultivator Family Clan Forces Islands."
Qin Ming nodded, "In this way, the Strength of the East Sea Cultivation World seems to be much stronger than the Southern Wilderness and Great Jin Dynasty."
"Heh heh! Moreover, under the leadership of Star Palace, the East Sea Cultivation World has formed the super Force 'Heavenly Sea Alliance', uniformly listening to dispatch, daring not to disobey."
"This junior has also inquired that the Heavenly Sea Alliance is already preparing to dispatch Cultivators to support the other Major Power Cultivation Worlds, to jointly resist the Realm Descent crisis." Shi Jin explained.
After listening to Shi Jin's words, Qin Ming was also filled with emotion.
'The Southern Wilderness is truly still too desolate, just myself, a single Nascent Soul Rogue Cultivator…'
'Unlike the other Cultivation Worlds, various Main Gate Major Sects stand in great numbers, not lacking many Nascent Soul Sects, even dealing with Realm Descent, they can easily handle it.'
'With Spirit Transformation Sects present, those Demon Lords, as long as they have brains, wouldn't dare to run amok in the East Sea, they are directly deterred.'
'Those Sea Race Demon Beasts are also exceptionally powerful.'
'After all, it is estimated that only when Development reaches the late stage of Realm Descent, and the Void Passage fully opens, will Deity Transformation Demon Lords from the Bloodhuan Realm be able to pass through.'
'It is still unlikely at present, at most it would be Nascent Soul Demon Lords.'
"I wonder what Senior's plans are this time?" Shi Jin was also unclear about Qin Ming's final destination.
Qin Ming pondered slightly, then asked in return, "Where is the most prosperous place for Trade in the East Sea Cultivation World?"
"That is naturally 'Heavenly Ripple Immortal City' built by the Heavenly Sea Alliance on Kui Star Island."
"Heavenly Ripple Immortal City is the Trade exchange center of the East Sea Cultivation World, almost gathering all the Major Power of the entire East Sea." Shi Jin replied as he poured Spirit Tea for Qin Ming and Hua Tianxiong.
"As long as there are enough Spirit Stones, all kinds of rare Resources can be obtained."
Qin Ming immediately decided, "Then let's go to Heavenly Ripple Immortal City first."
"Yes! I will order my subordinates to do so." Shi Jin's eyes suddenly lit up.
Qin Ming then asked, "By the way, This Seat heard that there will be an 'Immortal Abode Grand Gathering' in the East Sea Cultivation World soon?"
"That's right, the Immortal Abode Grand Gathering is the number one Grand Gathering in the East Sea Cultivation World, even the Sea Race will participate."
"Three years from now, it will be held at Dragon Abyss Island, if Moon Gazing True Lord Senior intends to participate, it will be completely in time by then." Shi Jin said.
Qin Ming nodded.
Under Qin Ming's instructions, Shi Jin dared not to be negligent in the slightest, temporarily abandoning his Pirate main profession, and sailed at full speed to deliver them to Heavenly Ripple Immortal City.
… … Half a year later.
"Moon Gazing True Lord Senior, Heavenly Ripple Immortal City has arrived."
The Black Sail Ship floated out of the water, and Qin Ming and the others walked onto the deck.
In the past half year, even while stealthily sailing underwater in the deep water, the Black Sail Ship still encountered several batches of Demonic Cultivators who had descended from the Realm Descent.
However, they were all Low Rank Demonic Cultivators, and were easily eliminated.
Gradually, a black dot on the sea surface continuously became clearer and larger.
Before even getting close, just its enormous Outline that connected with the Sky, and the astonishing momentum it emitted, made Qin Ming feel surprised.
Hua Tianxiong was even more so, his entire person had already fallen into deep shock.
Gradually.
A large Island stood between the sea and Sky like a Heaven-Supporting Giant, with the Main Peak towering into the clouds.
And Heavenly Ripple Immortal City was built on this Kui Star Island, the Upper Levels of the Island were filled with various jade buildings and Immortal Palatial Halls.
The lower outer perimeter was densely packed with buildings, encircling the central Main Peak, distributed in circles in a step-like manner, divided in an orderly fashion.
The outer perimeter of Kui Star Island, like stars surrounding the moon, was dotted with numerous small Islands, enclosing it within.
This scale of Immortal City was also the first time Qin Ming had ever seen, it could be said to be a super giant City without exaggeration.
Just the two Heaven-Reaching Giant Pillars standing at the Island City Gate, directly pierced into the clouds, their tops out of sight, and in their center, was the enormous Light Gate for entering and exiting Heavenly Ripple Immortal City.
The entire Immortal City was enveloped under a Fourth Grade Supreme-Quality Magic Formation, which was already impossible to discern with the naked eye.
It was only with Qin Ming's Divine Sense, comparable to a Late Nascent Soul, that he could sense a layer of blue Light Barrier, with countless High-Tier Runes swimming within it, encompassing the entire Heavenly Ripple Immortal City.
Under the protection of such a Grand Formation, it was estimated that even Late-Nascent Soul Stage Great Cultivators, or Late Fourth Grade Sea Monsters, could be easily repelled.
Near the enormous Light Gate of Heavenly Ripple Immortal City, various flying birds and beasts, Precious Carriages, Giant Warships, Streams of Light glittered and sparkled, transforming into streaks of Escaping Light, cutting through the Sky and surging into the City Gate.
On the outermost perimeter of the Island, there were also several major Ports, for ships to enter, exit, and dock.
The Devouring Heaven Rat also quietly climbed onto Qin Ming's shoulder, looking at the shocking scene before his eyes, his Mental Focus was surging with excitement.
"If you don't come, you wouldn't know, the outside world is actually so wonderful."
"How many Spirit Stones would it take to build this?"
Qin Ming nodded, also deeply agreeing in his heart.
"Heh heh! This Heavenly Ripple Immortal City has been continuously built to this scale over thousands of years by the East Sea Cultivation World." Shi Jin said with a smile.
"No wonder."
Subsequently, Shi Jin yelled out a command, ordering his Fish-Human Clan subordinates to sail at full speed, heading towards Heavenly Ripple Immortal City.
"Fellow Daoist Shi, aren't you a Great Pirate famous on the East Sea Bounty Board? Aren't you afraid of being caught when entering the City?" Hua Tianxiong asked in Puzzlement.
Shi Jin chuckled, and boldly took out a golden Token from his bosom, with Seal Script engraved on it.
"This item is the Heavenly Ripple Token, as long as you have this item, you can freely enter and exit."
"After all, Heavenly Ripple Immortal City is open to all Cultivators of the East Sea Cultivation World."
"Once you enter the Immortal City, then all Grudges are cleared."
"But once you leave Heavenly Ripple Immortal City, then no one can control it, those who should be wanted will be wanted, those who should have a Bounty will have a Bounty, Major Powers will also not be lenient, everyone relies on their own abilities."
"So that's how it is."
While speaking, the Black Sail Ship had already slowly docked at the Port on the outer perimeter of the Island.
"Isn't that the Black Sail Ship? Good heavens, how many years has it been since we last saw it?"
"It is said that more than ten years ago, the Black Sail Ship actually annihilated the Twin Devils of Lou, I wonder if it's true or false."
"Don't inquire blindly, be careful of being targeted by this group of vicious and malicious Pirates."
… …
The Entrance of Heavenly Ripple Immortal City was crowded with long queues, bustling with traffic, and teeming with people.
Qin Ming led Hua Tianxiong and Shi Jin off the ship first.
Shi Tian Ming then instructed the crew members to unload the Goods, taking this opportunity to transport the plundered items into the Inner City for dumping and selling.
"Greetings to two Seniors, and this Fellow Daoist."
"Do you all have Heavenly Ripple Tokens? Are you preparing to reside here long-term, or stay for a short period?"
A man and a woman walked over, with Late Foundation Establishment cultivation level.
Both of them were wearing golden Dharma Robe uniforms, with three water wave Symbol embroidered on their chests, they were Heavenly Sea Alliance guards at the City Gate.
When they saw High-Level Cultivators appear, they immediately walked over, bowing and saluting towards Hua Tianxiong and Shi Jin.
As for Qin Ming, who had an Ordinary Appearance, he was overlooked.
From him, the two could not sense any Magical Power Aura, and thought he was just a Follower of the two Core Formation Seniors.
The main reason was that Qin Ming didn't want to emit Nascent Soul Spirit Pressure wherever he went, making it too shocking and unconventional.
He had just used his Divine Sense to investigate, and currently in this Immortal City, there was only one Nascent Soul True Monarch sitting in command.
Just at this moment.
The Spirit Qi nearby fluctuated violently, a golden streak of shocking rainbow light, flew out from the Palace at the Upper Levels of Heavenly Ripple Immortal City Main Peak, cutting through the Horizon.
It flashed and disappeared, directly landing in front of Qin Ming and the others.
The Escaping Light dispersed, revealing a White-Robed Old Man, with a ruddy complexion, wearing a feather crown, quite having an Immortal Aura.
A Nascent Soul Level Magical Power Aura emanated from the Old Man's body along with his appearance.
In the utterly astonished gazes of the Fellow Cultivators at the City Gate, they only saw the White-Robed Old Man, smilingly cupping his fist towards Qin Ming, welcoming him:
"Presumably Fellow Daoist, is the Moon Gazing True Lord from the Southern Wilderness? Old Man has Long Admired your esteemed name!"
"Welcome Fellow Daoist to Heavenly Ripple Immortal City."
