Chapter 743: Golden Immortal and Great Luo

"Then… does the subordinate need to arrange a place for the master to rest?" Mi asked.

Bound by the master-servant contract, she subconsciously wanted to treat the master better.

Otherwise, with her temper, strangers wouldn't even give her a glance, let alone arrange lodging for her.

Xiao Feng refused: "No thanks, I'd rather keep my distance from you, lest you get too close and call me a subordinate every other word, scaring your retainers silly."

Anyway, it's just a short wait; I estimate the fight will be over in three days, so there's no need to make a big fuss meeting the newly appointed War God.

After all, judging from previous contact, in the officials' eyes, the two sides are enemies with a blood feud!

As long as we notify each other of anything, there are plenty of inns and taverns in the city where we can stay anywhere.

Hearing this, Mi felt grateful: "Thank you, master, for your understanding!"

"Mm."

Xiao Feng said no more, summoned Da Bai, rode on the immortal crane's back, and leisurely wandered the city, looking for a temporary place to stay.

Da Bai had been stifled in the mount space for a while; as soon as it came out, it shouted: "So uncomfortable, so uncomfortable, so uncomfortable! Don't stuff me into the mount space when there's nothing going on—it's suffocating! The outside air is much nicer!"

Xiao Feng laughed: "Fine, as long as it's not a long-distance teleport, I'll let you stay outside."

Before level 300, mounts need to level up by running maps; walking around outside more also speeds up leveling.

War City is spacious enough that even an immortal crane with a wingspan of seven or eight meters flying low won't feel crowded.

Nowadays, many players have ascended; this place is totally different from when Xiao Feng first came—streets are packed with players, coming and going, bustling with activity.

Some shops and stalls that didn't exist before have sprung up.

Some are NPCs selling materials, snacks, and family heirlooms; others are players hawking their own crafted gear or potions.

"Your city is quite prosperous; it's almost catching up to some major cities of the Four Great Dynasties of the Nine Provinces." Da Bai looked at the cityscape and commented.

Talking about Xiao Feng sparked interest.

He asked: "The Four Great Dynasties of the Nine Provinces… what's the power distribution like in the Nine Provinces World? Are there many strong individuals?"

Da Bai replied: "As far as I know, the Nine Provinces World is one of the ten strongest realms among all divine domains in terms of overall strength. Cultivators like me at the Great Vehicle stage number no fewer than three or four hundred, and those who have become immortals are several dozen. As for the factions, it's too complicated—I'll explain slowly when we have time."

"Don't we have time now? And you said you're one of the strongest in the demon clan, right? How does that work… your ranking must be at least a hundredth or so?" Xiao Feng said speechlessly.

Da Bai said matter-of-factly: "I'm not bragging—the demon clan's headquarters isn't in the Nine Provinces. The Nine Provinces is a human world; we're just playing villain roles here. True demon experts are basically in the various domains of the Giant Beast Clan; my elder brother, the Golden-Winged Great Peng, has been there once, and supposedly there are demon kings of Great Luo level over there!"

"Great Luo? What level is that?" Xiao Feng asked curiously.

"Let me put it this way: using your adventurers' calculation, level 1000+ is called Heavenly Immortal, or True Immortal; level 1500+ is Golden Immortal; level 2000+ is Great Luo. Great Luo–level experts number only a few hundred across the myriad heavens, each shaking the myriad heavens—no one dares provoke them!"

Xiao Feng realized.

So Heavenly Immortal equals God King, Golden Immortal equals Ancestor God or immortal being, and Great Luo is Venerable level!

His Ninefold Heavenly Dao inheritance can be used by beings up to Great Luo level, belonging to the topmost layer of the myriad heavens cosmos!

However……

What kind of existence is the Burial Heaven Ancient Emperor?

Xiao Feng couldn't help but ask: "Above Great Luo, there should be another realm, right?"

Da Bai exclaimed: "Wow, I didn't expect you to be so ugly yet know so much!"

Xiao Feng's face darkened: "Just explain properly, no need to insult me!"

"Hmph, being ugly doesn't stop me from speaking!" Da Bai expressed deep contempt.

Then he explained: "Indeed, there is another level above Great Luo, which we call the Dao Ancestor. Such beings are rare even among mortals—even immortals might go a lifetime without seeing one. Looking across the myriad heavens cosmos, among thousands of worlds, the total number of Dao Ancestors is only a handful. Each is the true forefather of a great civilization, appearing only when their civilization faces extinction."

"I understand……"

The Dao Ancestor is, in terms of civil contributions, the creator of a "Cosmic-level Legacy" that can grant 200 points for inheritance-type contributions!

Beings of this level, at level 3000+, are the true ultimate bosses of the Myriad Heavens game world, second only to the Supreme God and the Creator God—such transcendent existences!

If players just play the game normally and level up, they could never reach this realm in a lifetime; those who can become Heavenly Immortals or God Kings are already extremely talented.

Such bosses are so strong that even Xiao Feng himself, or top players like Shen Chuo and the top twenty of the Ultra-Dimensional Mecha, could hardly contend with them!

Only when the game enters its late stage, gathering the power of hundreds of millions of players, could we possibly defeat them!

Thinking this, Xiao Feng suddenly felt his strength was pitiful—he could hardly contend with a God King, let alone a Dao Ancestor.

But he wasn't overly ambitious either.

After all, he's just an ordinary person who hasn't been playing the game long; getting this far is already something to be proud of.

As long as there's enough time, even if he can't match a Dao Ancestor, at least challenging the Great Luo or Venerable realm still offers great hope!

"Find a tavern to rest and, by the way, study the Heavenly Dao legacy."

Xiao Feng thought to himself, then had Da Bai fly to a nearby system tavern.

With Da Bai around, he could often gather news about other worlds, giving him many more information sources.

One person and one mount flew over the long street.

Seeing the city's food, drink, and entertainment spots, Da Bai sighed: "Alas, my strength is too low now to assume human form; otherwise I'd have been a suave casanova, relying on my peerless looks to flirt all over the mortal realm."

"You? Give me a break!" Xiao Feng chuckled lightly, expressing doubt without mercy.

Anyone who says Xiao Feng is ugly must themselves be hideously grotesque, jealous enough to slander him!

Otherwise, with his face that kills men, women, young and old alike—even other races think it's super handsome—who would say it's not good-looking?

"Hmph, don't believe me? My human form is who knows how many times more handsome than yours!" Da Bai declared arrogantly.

"Oh? Then are you male or female? I can't tell from your voice either—your flirtatious targets couldn't be street punks or old beggars, could they?" Xiao Feng smirked.

"You son of a bitch! Although I'm an ancient demonic avian mutant without sex, deep down I'm a pure man through and through!" Da Bai shouted indignantly.

"Hahaha, that was a past life; now you're just a great white crane—if you want to flirt, you can only flirt with other great white cranes!" Xiao Feng mocked mercilessly again.

Da Bai was so angry it stomped its feet, but couldn't resist.

Soon after, they landed in front of the tavern called the War Tavern.

A waiter saw that the person had arrived riding a mount, immediately went up to meet them, and wanted to take Da Bai to the mount's resting area.

Da Bai was unhappy seeing this, spoke bluntly in human language, and angrily shouted: "Get lost! I'm here to eat with my... brothers, quit getting in the way, damn it!"

Many players passing by saw the Da Bai crane speaking and couldn't help but cast curious glances.

Then someone discovered Xiao Feng's name.

He immediately exclaimed: "Good heavens! It's Xiao Feng from the Blue Star 8th War Zone!"

Holy shit! Could this talking big bird possibly be the Legendary 7th‑level spirit beast, the Soaring Heavens Mystic Crane?

Awesome! I've seen so many mounts, but never one that could talk. A 7th‑level beast truly lives up to its rank—it even talks trash, definitely high‑end!
