Chapter 1433: Spirit-Sealing Tower

"Venerable, please follow me!" After Han Li finished looking at the giant city in the distance, the Tianpeng clan youth said respectfully. (Net)

Han Li nodded, flapped his wings behind his back, and followed the youth to fly to the nearest giant pillar.

On the way, the youth took the initiative to explain:

"Venerable, be careful. Don't go too far from the pillar. Only within fifty feet around the pillar will you not be affected by the city's restrictions and can enter and exit the Holy City. The Tianpeng Restriction of this city is famous among the seventy-two branches. As long as this restriction is present, it is enough to resist several times more enemies. Since ancient times, the clan has repeatedly escaped the danger of extinction by relying on this restriction."

The youth's words were full of pride.

Although Han Li hadn't checked the city's restrictions yet, just by the terrifying spiritual pressure emitted by the light curtain, he naturally knew that the youth's words were true, and couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

As a result, his pupils flashed with blue light, and under the Clear Spirit Eye, he actually saw some unusual things.

Deep in the white misty light, there were actually wisps of cyan and silver light threads floating everywhere. They looked exceptionally slender, but the terrifying spiritual power transmitted from the air was mostly emitted from these dense light threads.

Han Li looked at it for a few times, then flew past the giant pillar with the youth.

After a while, the two appeared inside the giant city.

Looking at it, there were many buildings of various kinds in the city, but they were very different from the city buildings of the human race.

Most of the so-called houses in the city were cylindrical in shape, with conical roofs on top, varying in height, the high ones being over a hundred feet high, and the low ones only a few feet high, but every building had several semi-circular arched doors and windows.

What surprised Han Li even more was that half of the buildings were built on the mountain walls visible in the distance, or some steep mountain walls were directly covered with cave dwellings like beehives.

"Venerable, the guest houses are distributed throughout the city. How about staying in the one nearest to here? It should be vacant." The youth respectfully asked for instructions.

"It doesn't matter, just do as you say." Han Li looked indifferent.

The youth said "Yes," and took Han Li to fly forward at a low altitude, which allowed Han Li to enjoy many sceneries in the city and brush shoulders with many winged men and women flying around at low altitude.

After half an hour, they stopped in front of a group of buildings that looked not small.

At the end of the platform, there was a three-story circular house.

As soon as the two landed here, a girl with clean white wings on her back walked out of the house, and bowed to the two from afar.

"It turns out to be Brother Huayu, are these Venerables all staying in the guest house?"

"Baicui, this is Venerable Han, a distinguished guest of Spirit General Feng Xiao. You must treat him well." Huayu actually recognized this girl who looked like a maid, and said solemnly.

"Distinguished guest of Spirit General Feng Xiao! This maid will definitely serve the Venerable well." Hearing the name of Feng Xiao, this beautiful girl was startled, and immediately replied respectfully.

Han Li looked at the girl a few times, seeing that her aura was extremely weak, only equivalent to the Foundation Establishment stage, so he nodded slightly and walked into the house by himself.

The girl lowered her head and followed closely behind.

Huayu didn't dare to enter the house, just waited outside.

After a while, Han Li's indifferent voice came from the third floor of the house:

"Not bad, I am very satisfied with this place. It's here. You can leave."

The youth felt relieved, and after saying goodbye, he spread his wings and flew away.

And on the third floor of the building, Han Li was standing in front of a semi-circular window, watching the youth gradually go away with narrowed eyes. A few feet behind him, the girl named Baicui was standing with her hands tied.

"About how many clansmen are there in the Holy City!" Han Li suddenly said this sentence without looking back.

The girl was stunned, but she couldn't help but reply:

"The Holy City is huge. Although it hasn't been carefully counted, there are at least thirty or forty million people."

"Thirty or forty million? Is the population so small?" Han Li muttered to himself, seeming somewhat unbelievable.

"Venerable, you misunderstood. Those who can enter the Holy City are all people who have cultivated successfully and can transform their spiritual bodies. Clansmen with low cultivation or unable to transform are not qualified to enter the Holy City. Although our clan is a weak branch of the Flying Spirit clan, there are still more than a billion clansmen." The girl hurriedly explained.

"So that's it!" Han Li was somewhat enlightened.

"Venerable, is this your first time in the Holy City?" The girl stole a glance at Han Li, hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but ask.

"Why, are there many distinguished guests like me who are visiting the Holy City for the first time?" Han Li seemed to hear something, and asked indifferently.

"Venerable, you are joking. Guest houses are rarely occupied. However, those who stay are either foreign guests who are staying for the first time, or other clansmen who have come to the Holy City for temporary business," the girl explained carefully.

"Nothing strange, this is my first time returning to the clan, I have been cultivating overseas before," Han Li said calmly, but immediately asked again:

"Is there any place nearby that sells Holy City maps? If there is, tell me where it is, I need to buy one."

"Venerable doesn't need to go outside to buy maps. Guest houses are equipped with special maps for the use of distinguished guests, and the detail is far beyond what is sold outside. I will get one for the Venerable now," the girl said respectfully.

"Oh, there is such a good thing. Get me one," Han Li ordered without hesitation after being surprised.

"Yes, Venerable." The girl responded, stepped back two steps, and returned to the downstairs like a swallow.

Han Li continued to look out the window, and began to ponder his plan.

He mixed into the Tianpeng clan, originally for the various rare materials in the Flying Spirit clan. As for things like utensils and magic treasures, Han Li didn't think much about it. Although he only watched a fight between Flying Spirit clans, it seemed that this alien race didn't like to use magic treasures to fight. I don't know if they were not good at refining tools, or if the high-tier existences of the Flying Spirit clan didn't need ordinary utensils to help at all. The only "Demon-Trapping Net" and "Fire Dragon Bead" that appeared were also auxiliary. However, these had nothing to do with him, and he only hoped that the Tianpeng clan could really find some materials that were very useful to him, so it wouldn't be in vain for him to mix into this place with such effort.

As for the right and wrong between the Tianpeng clan and other Flying Spirit clans, he naturally didn't want to care.

While Han Li was secretly pondering, the young girl walked up to this floor again, holding a jade-green bamboo tube as thick as a thumb and only a few inches long, with a luster that flickered incessantly.

He was somewhat surprised in his heart, but his face remained as usual as he raised his hand and grabbed into the void.

With a "sou" sound, a green glow shot over and was captured by him.

Then he waved his hand, letting the girl go down first.

After Bai Cui obediently bowed, she obediently returned downstairs.

Han Li toyed with the bamboo tube in his hand with one hand, becoming quite interested. When he permeated it with his spiritual sense, he saw an exceptionally clear and huge map on the inner wall of the bamboo tube.

This kind of thing was indeed similar to a jade slip.

But this bamboo was truly peculiar; after some refining, it could achieve the same effect as a jade slip. It seemed the Flying Spirit tribes were not too bad at artifact refining either, and had their own unique aspects.

However, Han Li's mind quickly moved away from the bamboo tube and focused entirely on the map.

After the time it takes to eat a meal, he let out a long breath, withdrew his spiritual sense from the bamboo tube, and a look of contemplation appeared on his face.

This Holy City was smaller than he had expected; of course, this was compared to the large human cities with populations of over a billion. In reality, the area of this city was still astonishingly large; it would take the better part of a day to fly from one end of the city to the other.

Han Li was not interested in most of the other buildings, but he was extremely concerned about the trading hall established in the city.

This so-called great hall, according to the markings on the map, should be built inside a giant mountain on the edge of the giant city. The entire belly of the mountain was dedicated to people exchanging and trading things, almost no different from the markets of the human and demon races.

Besides this building, the only other place Han Li was slightly curious about was a place called the "Spirit Transmission Hall." This was where the Heavenly Peng clan specifically provided some mid-to-high-tier cultivation techniques for their clansmen.

Of course, the map also marked several eye-catching forbidden areas. Han Li only glanced at them a few times and had no interest in investigating them at all.

Closing his eyes, he firmly memorized the important parts of the entire map. After recalling it again, Han Li immediately flashed the wings on his back. Wrapped in a ball of green light, he flew out from the window without a sound and shot straight toward the location of the trading hall.

The Heavenly Peng clan did not seem to be peaceful.

He did not want to dawdle here for ten days or half a month. It would be best to hurry up and collect the materials, then turn around and leave as soon as possible, to avoid being dragged into the big troubles of an alien race.

Han Li did not want to be conspicuous, so his flying speed was not too fast, just flying at the approximate speed of other Heavenly Peng people in the city.

Because the trading hall was located on the edge, Han Li only covered a small part of the journey after flying for a quarter of an hour. At this moment, not far in front of him on one side, a strangely tall, giant tower-like building appeared.

This building was at least six or seven hundred zhang tall, and its surface was not the common cylindrical shape, but an octagonal shape. Each side of the prism was exceptionally smooth and engraved with some special patterns and symbols.

These symbols emitted a faint black Qi, which actually gave Han Li a familiar feeling. At the top of the tower, a piece of strange crystal several zhang large was embedded, emitting seven-colored light, shrouding the tower within it.

Those black mists were all trapped within the light screen by the seven-colored light, unable to escape in the slightest.

A look of surprise flashed across Han Li's face, and he rubbed his chin.

If he remembered correctly, this place was exactly one of the forbidden areas in the city marked on the map. It only had the words "Spirit Sealing Tower" written on it, without any explanation. But it was definitely not a good place.

Within a hundred zhang of the light screen, there was not a single shadow of a person; not a single Heavenly Peng person dared to fly past the vicinity.
