Chapter 1610

"This is Cloud City?" Han Li, situated within the green light, looked up at the distant sky, his expression becoming strangely peculiar. Net

"That's right! As the name suggests, Cloud City is the second type of residence in the Spirit Realm that can hover in the air, second only to the Sky Islands. Although it cannot drift slowly in the air with the wind like the Sky Islands, it can adjust its altitude according to the changing seasons." Standing beside Han Li, Jia Tianmu twisted the few short whiskers on his chin and replied with some pride.

The two of them were now on the top of a small mountain, and in the high sky over a hundred miles away, there was a massive city hovering motionless.

The city was situated tens of thousands of feet above the ground, not only surrounded by white clouds but also built entirely from some unknown white material.

Being at such a high altitude and having such a massive volume, anyone seeing this city for the first time would be struck with immense shock.

Another eye-catching feature was the dozen or so exceptionally pure white giant spheres surrounding the giant city. Each one looked not too large from afar, but if one were close, one could clearly see that they were massive objects with a diameter of ten thousand feet.

As for the exact number of these spheres, because he could only see one side of Cloud City, Han Li could not yet make an accurate judgment.

"What are those?" After his shock, Han Li pointed at the spheres and couldn't help but ask.

"Fellow Daoist Han is referring to these Cloud City Guards! They are the meticulous work of our Wan Gu clan and the Stone Cocoon clan working together, and they are one of the trump cards for Cloud City's defense. As for the specific situation, you will know as soon as you inquire after entering Cloud City. Haha, allow me to keep you in suspense for now!" Jia Tianmu revealed a mysterious smile.

Han Li was speechless upon hearing this.

However, he didn't really intend to press the matter, so he raised his escape light, filled with curiosity about this city in the clouds, and transformed into a green streak of light, soaring into the sky.

Jia Tianmu also followed closely behind with a flash of white light.

When they were hundreds of miles away, they hadn't had a clear concept of the city's volume, but once they were within a hundred miles of the city, even the well-traveled Han Li couldn't help but gasp after seeing the sheer size of "Cloud City."

Seen from such a close distance, Cloud City almost obscured most of the sky ahead.

On the way, they also began to see the escape lights of other alien cultivators from afar, as well as various flying magic tools such as beast carts and spirit boats.

As they got closer to the city, the number of alien cultivators increased rapidly.

When Han Li could clearly see one of the giant spheres in his direction with his naked eye, the number of passing escape lights was so great that the entire sky was filled with them as far as the eye could see.

However, for some reason, almost everyone would obediently detour as soon as they approached the giant sphere, and no one dared to pass through the area near the sphere.

Seeing this, Han Li naturally couldn't help but take a few careful looks.

With blue light flashing in the depths of his pupils, everything on the surface of the sphere appeared before his eyes as if it were right in front of him.

It was clear that the external material used for these massive objects was the same as that of Cloud City, but upon closer inspection, one could find that the seemingly smooth and pure white surface of the spheres was covered with faint cracks.

These spheres seemed to be pieced together from countless materials. And on the surface of almost every piece, faint gold and silver runes flickered incessantly. This made each sphere appear extremely mysterious.

Han Li frowned and didn't stand on ceremony, sweeping his divine sense over the sphere.

As soon as it touched the surface of the sphere, it was bounced back by a powerful restrictive force, unable to penetrate even a fraction into the sphere.

Han Li didn't find it strange; if such a mysterious thing could be understood so easily, it would have surprised him instead.

"Fellow Daoist, remember that if you are carrying any metal treasures or materials, you must not approach them within a thousand feet, otherwise all metal objects will be forcibly taken and swallowed by them. Cloud City will not compensate for any losses caused by this." Seeing Han Li constantly examining the distant spheres, Jia Tianmu reminded him.

"There's such a thing?" Han Li was a bit surprised, but after scanning the many others passing nearby, he believed it to be mostly true.

Many of the nearby escape lights changed direction and flew toward a giant city gate of Cloud City.

At this city gate, dozens of guards wearing uniform armor stood with solemn expressions, checking something on each person who wanted to enter the gate.

This kind of careful check was only aimed at cultivators who wanted to enter the city; those who wanted to leave were not questioned at all.

The armor worn by these guards wrapped them tightly from head to toe, but their body sizes varied greatly, suggesting they were not from the same race.

Seeing this, Han Li narrowed his eyes, but his escape light didn't stop, and a moment later, he finally arrived at the city gate with Jia Tianmu.

At this time, some escape lights nearby were constantly falling downward, and there were over a dozen alien cultivators preparing to be checked.

In fact, the so-called "check" was just a few guards holding uniquely styled magic disks, scanning the faces of those unfamiliar people. At the same time, another person quickly picked up another object, listening while inputting some things into it.

There were no light barriers or similar restrictions in the high sky of Cloud City, but the sky above Cloud City was empty, and no escape light dared to fly directly over the hundreds-of-feet-high city wall and enter the city.

This time, Jia Tianmu didn't say anything, but after a slight smile, he suddenly walked past the few alien cultivators waiting for the check.

This "cutting in line" behavior naturally caused some dissatisfaction among the others. However, most of these alien cultivators were around the Foundation Establishment or Core Formation stage, and after scanning Jia Tianmu with their divine sense and discovering that the other party was an Upper Clan member, they immediately closed their mouths, not even daring to show the slightest anger.

But Jia Tianmu's behavior naturally attracted the attention of the guards, and several sharp, cold glares swept over Jia Tianmu simultaneously.

The cultivation of these few people didn't seem to be below Jia Tianmu's.

But facing this scene, Jia Tianmu didn't panic. He shook his sleeve, and a pitch-black token the size of a palm flew out, shooting toward the guard who appeared to be the leader.

The guard was stunned for a moment, but immediately reacted, grabbed the token, and lowered his head to look at it intently.

At the same time, Jia Tianmu's lips moved, but no sound was emitted; he had actually used the Sound Transmission Technique!

But then, something that made these alien cultivators drop their jaws happened.

The leading guard first looked clearly at the token in his hand, his eyes revealing shock, and then, upon hearing Jia Tianmu's sound transmission, he had no more doubts. He immediately stepped forward, returned the token to Jia Tianmu with both hands, and bowed respectfully:

"So it is Master Jia of the Wan Gu clan! Please enter quickly, Master. Several elders of your clan have already given orders that if you return to Cloud City safely, please go to Tianxu Pavilion to see them immediately. By the way, given that there might be Jiao Chi 'spies' mixed into the city, I will immediately send a few guards to escort you to Tianxu Pavilion."

"Oh, the elders are all at Tianxu Pavilion! Even if you didn't mention it, I would go see them immediately. As for the guards, there's no need for now. With Fellow Daoist Han accompanying me, as long as it's not an ambush by a Body Integration-stage existence, I think we will be safe. You may continue with your work. By the way, Fellow Daoist Han is not from our Tian Yun region; please prepare a top-level identity card for him. I can act as his guarantor." Jia Tianmu said in a commanding tone after taking the token.

"Yes, Master!" The guard was stunned upon hearing this, but immediately agreed.

At this moment, Han Li also walked over unhurriedly.

A few guards immediately shook the magic disks in their hands slightly toward him.

Han Li felt a slight spiritual pressure released from those strange disks, and at the same time, several divine senses were released from these guards, then gathered and fused together, sweeping over Han Li.

Han Li was shocked, and then a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

This was the first time he had seen a technique that could fuse the divine senses of several people into one.

Cloud City was truly worthy of being the core city of the Tian Yun Thirteen Clans; even a random guard possessed such an incredible secret technique.

However, after those few guards finished probing Han Li's cultivation, they all felt their hearts tremble.

A seventh-tier Upper Clan existence was naturally rare, even in a race alliance like the Tian Yun Thirteen Clans.

The leader looked at the magic disk in his hand and saw no reaction regarding Jiao Chi bloodline, so he felt relieved and said to Han Li:

"Senior! Since Master Jia is acting as a guarantor, and you have passed the initial test, we will immediately refine a high-tier identity card for you. With this card, Senior can pass through Cloud City unimpeded, except for some confidential restricted areas."

"Then I'll have to trouble you!" Han Li was exceptionally kind.

The Void Refinement-stage guard also politely called himself unworthy.

And the matter of sending guards to escort Jia Tianmu, which he had mentioned earlier, was naturally not mentioned again. Clearly, he also believed that with such a seventh-tier Upper Clan existence as Han Li, there was no need for him to send anyone.

The following matters were simple. A moment later, these people refined a jade card containing Han Li's simple information and handed it to Han Li. Then, the leader waved his hand, clearing a path.

Jia Tianmu didn't stand on ceremony and walked into the city with large strides, while Han Li followed closely behind unhurriedly.

"Fellow Daoist Jia, what kind of secret technique was that just now, where several people's divine senses were fused into one? If one possessed such a magical secret technique, wouldn't it be a top-tier killing weapon when fighting enemies!" As soon as the two walked into the city gate, Han Li suddenly asked.
