Chapter 476 - 475: Opening the Mountain Gate, Chen Tang City

Chen Yuran lowered her head to glance at Ji Qing leaning toward her, and with a laugh, wrapped her arm around Ji Qing as she carefully thought out loud.

"Being self-established and setting up our own sect does seem like a good option. Both Yulian and Sisi were right in what they’d said earlier; we come from a modern civilized society, whereas most ascendants of Blue Star originally lived in relatively more barbaric times, and the congenital inhabitants of the Immortal Realm behave accordingly."

As she spoke, she continued.

"Not to say that there aren’t good, virtuous people in the Immortal Realm, but it never hurts to stay guarded. We must be careful in our interactions with the people of the Immortal Realm. We’re strangers here. Talk of understanding and adapting to the Immortal Realm is premature. Under these circumstances, it’s best to avoid excessive contact. Setting up our own sect can at least provide us with a safe haven. We can talk about further plans afterward."

Hearing Chen Yuran’s articulation, Liu Sisi and the others nodded in agreement.

Li Jing could not deny the sound reasoning behind the decision to set up their sect.

Whether to create their own sect or not didn’t really matter.

However, in a place as vast as the Immortal Realm, even if they wanted to lean on someone else, they wouldn’t get very far.

Over a year ago.

Chen Jing had told Li Jing.

That the Immortal Realm was a place ruled by those with the biggest fists, where killings and loots were common, utterly lawless.

Li Jing himself didn’t really care.

But it couldn’t be suitable for Liu Sisi and the others to join in the adventure.

Moreover, these five women were all of extraordinary beauty.

Beauty can be a curse, as everyone knows.

On Blue Star, their beauty wouldn’t cause much trouble.

After all, the more attractive and ethereal they are, the more formidable their cultivations are, a "consensus" universally accepted by the people of Blue Star.

To provoke a beautiful woman, one had to consider their own strength.

On Blue Star, not many people would dare to.

On the other hand, crimes such as publicly teasing and harassing women are unthinkable.

However, in the Immortal Realm, it’s a different story.

Here, there are plenty of big ’fists’.

Li Jing neither wanted nor was willing to encounter such trouble.

The key was that his cultivation level was far from allowing him the freedom to act as he pleased in the Immortal Realm, it was too many who could threaten him.

Seeing the consensus among Liu Sisi and the others, they unanimously looked towards him, once again handing him the decision power. With a wry smile and a moment of contemplation, Li Jing said,

"Since everyone agrees, we might as well establish our own foothold here and save ourselves the trouble of seeking out someone else for shelter."

Having said that, Li Jing continued.

"There are a few issues ahead of us. First, we need to settle on a name for our sect, then..."

Before he could finish, Ji Qing giggled,

"Isn’t the name of the sect easy? Just call it Chen Tang City!"

"..."

Li Jing.

Hearing this, Liu Sisi and the others paused, giving Ji Qing a thumbs-up.

"I think there’s no problem."

With a radiant smile, Liu Sisi looked back at him.

"I agree."

Chen Yuran raised her hand as if casting a vote,

Yulian looked at Li Jing’s chagrined expression, smiling without a word and made her vote the same way Chen Yuran did.

While Jiang Yini, mimicking the others’ gestures, commented earnestly,

"Considering us establishing a sect but not creating a school of thought, calling it something House or something Gate doesn’t seem appropriate. We are more like a gang, but it’s too inferior to be called a gang. A compromise to call it Chen Tang City seems fitting."

Li Jing was speechless.

All five women agreed, there was no point in dissenting, was there?

Principally speaking,

He didn’t really have any objections about Chen Tang City.

He had already called himself Li Jing of Chen Tang city multiple times, what could go wrong with a real Chen Tang City?

But this way of doing it seemed a bit too casual.

Since they were setting up their own sect, they naturally needed to establish a reputation. It would inevitably require them to attract residents of the Immortal Realm in order to expand their influence and power.

Surely such an important matter warranted a serious consideration?

With a soft sigh, Li Jing said.

"Fine, let’s settle on Chen Tang City for the sect’s name. The second issue is that we clearly define our roles after establishing the sect. We don’t have to consider other things for now, the primary task is that we need to split up and gather as much information as possible. Sticking together is a bad idea; firstly, having all five of you together draws too much attention, secondly, travelling as a group may limit our scope of contact."

Hearing his words, Liu Sisi and the others agreed.

Travelling in a group would indeed draw too much attention.

As standard ’troublemakers’, they were well aware that they could become the source of trouble in the Immortal Realm.

None of the five wanted to cause trouble for Li Jing.

Upon reaching the Immortal Realm, they didn’t want to depend solely on Li Jing either.

The sole reason they endured the accelerated time flow of one day equaling three months in the past year, immersed in the monotonous and dull cultivation day in and day out, was so they could explore the Immortal Realm on their own once they arrived, instead of clinging to Li Jing.

At present, they indeed needed more information about the Immortal Realm.

The information provided on the jade pendant by the Star Picker was limited, and it was unclear how outdated the version was. Collecting information is the priority after establishing a sect.

Seeing Liu Sisi and the others agreeing with him, Li Jing smiled slightly and said,

"There are many things to take into consideration when establishing a sect, but as I said before, at this stage, we don’t need to overthink."

Everyone nodded in agreement, but Jiang Yini frowned and spoke,

"Wait, haven’t you forgotten a crucial issue? Where are we going to locate our sect?"

Before she finished speaking, Liu Sisi started speaking.

"The location of the sect cannot be chosen carelessly. Firstly, the environment should be favorable. Secondly, we are only allowed to establish our sect within the borders of the Blue Star Ascendants. We need to avoid conflicts of interest with the forces of Blue Star Ascendants. And then..."

Before Liu Sisi could finish, Li Jing raised his hand,

"Regarding the location, I already have an idea."

?

Liu Sisi slowly typed out a question mark.

Jiang Yini and the others were also taken aback.

Everyone was new to the Immortal Realm, completely unfamiliar with the place.

Everyone was still here, not having gone out to explore, how could Li Jing already have an idea?

Among their confusion, the bodies of the four women excluding Ji Qing trembled.

They were all too familiar with Li Jing’s way of working.

Li Jing has always been a man of ideas.

If he said he had an idea, then he definitely did.

And then, reality laid before them.

Li Jing hadn’t been anywhere else since he arrived at the Immortal Realm, it was impossible for him to know about any good places elsewhere.

So, it was quite easy to come to a conclusion wasn’t it?

The place he had set his eyes on for establishing their sect was right beneath their feet, where the Ascendant Platform was located!

This...

Liu Sisi and the others exchanged glances.

Needless to say,

Li Jing’s idea was somewhat daring.

Everything else didn’t matter.

The key was that locating their sect at the Ascendant Platform was equivalent to occupying the only route from Blue Star to the Immortal Realm.

Doing this had its benefits.

In the future, when any Blue Star People ascend, the first place they can arrive in is the "bowl" of Chen Tang City.

But occupying the Ascension Platform also presents many problems...

Firstly, the old man who plucked the stars would certainly not be willing. Secondly, the Ascension Platform holds a special significance to the Immortal Realm, up to now it has always been under the control of the Heavenly Official. Nobody dares to covet it.

Seeing that Liu Sisi and others looked a bit odd, clearly understanding where Li Jing meant to establish their base, Ji Qing was completely clueless.

She had known him for a long time.

But because her Cultivation level before absorbing the God Pattern was low, and she was rather useless who spent most of her time playing games and rarely went outside, she had hardly ever moved with Li Jing apart from when they had first got to know each other.

How would she know what was hidden behind the harmless facade of a certain person?

While Ji Qing was baffled, Li Jing had a thought and brought out the entire Sky City from his Little Universe.

The ground darkened for a moment.

Then with the ascension of Sky City, the light gradually returned.

???

Ji Qing looked at it blankly.

Li Jing suddenly brought out such a large Sky City, how could she not realize that the site he was talking about was the location of the Ascension Platform?

Ji Qing was a little dumbfounded at the time.

Li Jing’s courage was too great.

If you want to set up your own base, why not keep it low key?

Not only occupying the Ascension Platform, he also brought out the extremely ostentatious Sky City in one piece.

There are a large number of existing buildings, which is definitely convenient.

The Sky City has imprints of three rules: time, space, and gravity, and it exists above the clouds, so the grade and aura are just right.

But you should know, the vast Sky City has thousands of palaces scattered around.

Radiating down from the sky, even if you gather the Sky City, the area it occupies would be equivalent to half of Jianghai City, covering a large area.

Such an act is too ostentatious, not to mention they are only six people in this group!

If you occupy such a large area, can you defend it?

As Ji Qing was in a daze, Li Jing had another thought and moved out the Zhenyuan Tower - with five hundred descendants of the Ancient Gods inside it, placing it directly above the Ascension Platform in the center of Sky City.

???

Zhenyuan Spirit Weapon.

???

The five hundred descendants of the Ancient Gods who were suddenly moved out.

Li Jing pulled out two waves of assets in a row, smiling at Liu Sisi and the others who were also on the Ascension Platform.

"From today on, this Sky City will be called Chen Tang City."

"..."

Liu Sisi and others.

Li Jing put his words into action decisively, which is not to mention his audacity.

Just when they don’t know what to say, Li Jing said.

"You guys go up and communicate with Quan Chang and the rest of the descendants of the Ancient Gods, inform them of the situation in the Immortal Realm. Also, tell them that from today on they are part of Chen Tang City, let them guard Chen Tang City together with the Zhenyuan Tower. Anyway, as long as Zhenyuan Tower is there, it makes no difference whether they are in my Little Universe or not. Speaking of environmental conditions, the Immortal Realm is far better than my Little Universe."

After that, Li Jing continued.

"I have some other arrangements to make to ensure that Chen Tang City won’t be disturbed by others."

After giving such instructions, he directly flew into the air.

Seeing this, Liu Sisi and the others looked at each other, all dumbfounded, and flew up to Sky City.

Indeed, Li Jing is bold.

But they believe that he has his own considerations and has the confidence to ensure the safety of Chen Tang City.

Looking at the current situation.

Li Jing’s considerations are indeed thorough.

There are indeed only six of them on this trip.

But in Li Jing’s Little Universe, there are over five hundred "stowaway" descendants of the Ancient Gods in Eighth Realm.

This force should not be overlooked.

You must know that the strength of the descendants of the Ancient Gods is far beyond ordinary beings.

With powerful combat abilities and unrivaled physical bodies.

When more than five hundred of them get together, a few thousand Eighth Realm Cultivators coming against them would be for nothing.

There are even over eighty High Priests led by Quan Chang in addition to their successors.

Being able to become a High Priest or a successor requires not only being a female descendant of the Ancient Gods but also outstanding strength and talent.

Nearly one hundred and sixty of them, led by Quan Chang, may not be enough to contend with the Ninth Realm. However, it would not be a problem for three to five of them together to beat a single Ninth Realm cultivator into doubting their life.

With the descendants of the Ancient Gods acting as a foundation for their combat power, Chen Tang City had initially built up its capital to survive in the Immortal Realm.

After all, not everyone in the Immortal Realm is a Ninth Realm Cultivator or above.

Li Jing couldn’t possibly ask Quan Chang and her followers to fight directly against a group of Ninth Realm or higher Cultivators, he was just getting the startup capital for Chen Tang City in place.

Upon reaching Sky City, Liu Sisi and others found Quan Chang and explained the situation.

Meanwhile.

Li Jing stood on the clouds above Sky City, overlooking the entire view of Sky City, with his Cultivation method running at the highest speed.

The next moment.

The color of the heaven and earth changed.

"Boom!"

The deafening sound of Thunder Roar rang out.

Countless Thunder Element Spirit Energy rushed towards Li Jing with joy.

Just as he was about to take further action, an extremely strong presence abruptly arrived.

"Fellow Daoist! What do you mean by this!?"

Upon hearing the sound, Li Jing turned his head.

Before his eyes, the star-picking old man appeared near him in surprise and anger.

After briefly examining the old man who plucked the stars, Li Jing narrowed his eyes.

"Asked Heaven Realm?"

?

The Old Man who plucked the stars put up a question mark, his face gradually turning cold.

Yes, indeed.

He is at the Eleventh Realm, ’Asked Heaven’.

He may not be too strong in the Immortal Realm, but it’s easy for him to deal with a True Immortal Realm newcomer who dare to act recklessly as soon as he arrives in the Immortal Realm.

While about to speak, Li Jing said.

"We’ll talk later, I have matters to attend to."

"..."

The Old Man plucking stars.

He’s not stupid, nor blind.

Such a large Sky City floating above the Ascension Platform, covering nearly the Ground Realm of a city in the surrounding area.

Fake Daoist Treasure Tower, plus a large number of overpowered alien Cultivators, standing in the city.

Although he doesn’t know where Li Jing got a city from and how he found so many alien Cultivators that shouldn’t have been in the Immortal Realm, it’s obvious even to a fool that he wants to ’enclose land as his kingdom’.

How could the old man who plucked the stars endure this?

Li Jing can go elsewhere to enclose land, but he can’t be bothered to manage it.

In the Immortal Realm, there have always been people acting recklessly.

As a Heavenly Official, he doesn’t like to meddle in others’ affairs and doesn’t want to bring trouble to himself.

But this Ascension Platform below was within his jurisdiction.

After a gap of three thousand years, Li Jing and others ascended up here, and he also hoped to apply for the treatment he was entitled to.

He didn’t even submit an application and Li Jing had circled his Ascension Platform, how could this be tolerated?

Just as he was about to verbally warn Li Jing not to cause trouble, a white-haired Loli, carrying a rough wolf tooth stick, walked out from beside someone and coldly glanced over.

Seeing this Loli, the Star-picking Elder froze.

Taoist Spirit Weapon!

TM...

Why on earth can Li Jing, a True Immortal of the Tenth Realm, possess a Taoist item?

Isn’t this something that someone of the Venerable Realm can have?

While shocked.

Smoke Eye quietly appeared by Li Jing’s side, with the petite Linglong holding her own body closely behind him, followed by Spirit Weapon Qingfeng clutching his flying sword body with a cold expression appearing behind someone.

Seeing this, the Star-picking Elder exclaimed.

Two half-step Taoist artifacts, plus a level ten Immortal Tool.

These...

Did they all belong to Li Jing?

Including the one below, he has three half-step Taoist artifacts, a level ten Immortal Tool, and a genuinely powerful Taoist item.

TM, could he be any richer!?

Upon closer inspection.

The four Spirit Weapons in front of him were different from the usual spirit weapons; they not only had physical bodies, but also seemed to possess their own Cultivations.

Even, within Smoke Eye, who was wearing a ghastly mask on her head, seemed to be operating some superior Immortal Door technique!

At this surprise, the Star-picking Elder silently swallowed the warning that reached his mouth.

Although Li Jing is of the Tenth Realm.

But showing this stuff, he clearly realized that this person was extremely unusual, and he could not afford to offend him.

Just one Taoist tool required careful consideration.

Not to mention the others...

This was a bit awkward.

He couldn’t just watch Li Jing act recklessly, could he?

But if he doesn’t just watch now, what could he do?

Or...

Should he temporarily leave and find some assistance to reason with him?

The problem is.

What kind of help would be willing to assist him, an irrelevant Immortal official, and risk offending someone who possesses a Taoist tool?

While the Star-picking Elder was mulling over this, Li Jing took out piles of high-quality spirit materials and slapped them with one hand.

Bang!

Hot Fire Thunder appeared out of nowhere.

Accompanying it.

A thick bolt of Fire Thunder from the sky roared down with the force of a thousand thunders, instantly melting all the spirit materials into a liquid state.

Suddenly seeing this, the Star-picking Elder’s eyes widened.

Was Li Jing...

Going to refine an artifact?

His method...

Was it the long-lost Saint-level Artifact Refinement Skill, Heaven and Earth as a Furnace!?

No!

One would at least need to reach the Saint Level to control and drive the Saint-Level Artifact Refinement Skill, and this wasn’t it!

So his method was...?

As the Star-picking Elder was startled and doubtful, Li Jing’s gaze was fixed on the pile of high-quality spirit materials that had been liquefied into a Spirit Liquid. He lightly swung his hand to divide the Spirit Liquid into seven parts, and then suddenly clenched his fist and turned it sharply.

The next second.

The seven parts of the Spirit Liquid shrank and solidified into seven round beads of different colors.

Heaven’s Creation Skill.

An artifact is made!

???

Star-picking Elder.

This damn...

An instant artifact creation!?

Is there such a method of refining artifacts!?

Although the artifacts that were refined looked very rough, they were comparable to Immortal tools, but they were not immortal items, lacking spirituality, and no spirit weapons were even born.

But you have to know, these are artifacts that were refined in an instant!

Not even top artifact refinement masters in the Celestial Realm would be so outrageous!

Looking at the seven round beads that were refined, the Star-picking Elder was horrified.

At this moment.

Li Jing scooped up the seven round beads into his hand.

"Wina."

With a light call.

Wina’s power emerged in an earth-shattering stance behind Li Jing, slowly opening her star eyes.

Due to the absence of power projection restrictions in the celestial realm, the intensity of this wave of Wina’s power projection was not of the same level as before, and a breath of terror that made people suffocate was released as soon as it appeared.

Seeing the phantom of Wina, the Star-Picking Elder nearly bulged his eyes out.

Western God Body!

And the top level, comparable to the Venerable Realm kind!

This...

What’s going on?

Power projection is a unique method of the Western God’s Body to intervene in other space levels...

Why can Li Jing, a practitioner of the Eastern Orthodox Immortal Path, summon a Western God’s Body!?

Aghast, the Star-picking Elder had a very ugly expression and said aloud.

"The dispute between the Divine Domain and the Immortal Realm is not a recent one, the power projection of a Western God appearing in the Celestial realm would certainly infuriate the Emperor! You still have time to stop now!"

Li Jing was slightly startled when he heard this.

The projection of a Western God’s Body arriving in the Celestial realm would make the Emperor furious, this was quite unexpected.

But he didn’t plan to stop.

Since it’s done, it’s useless to stop now, isn’t it?

Moreover.

The Emperor has to be informed to get angry.

Though that’s the case.

Li Jing didn’t dare to let Wina’s power projection linger too long, he turned his head to look at her projection and said indifferently.

"Give me a hand, brand the rules."

Wina nodded.

Seeing this, Li Jing held up the seven round beads that had been refined and threw them out, then formed a seal with one hand arranging a seven-star formation.

As he started to move, Wina’s power projection also lifted her hand and pointed out, infusing a large amount of spatial rule power into the seven round beads, then branded them inside.

As the rules were branded, the seven round beads scattered, maintaining the seven-star formation.

Simultaneously.

Wina’s power projection quietly dispersed.

The Star Picking Elder had a peculiar expression upon witnessing this scene.

He hadn’t expected that Li Jing would summon Wina’s power projection to set up a formation.

This formation seemed rather crude.

Likewise, from the perspective of the Immortal Realm.

Thanks to the Western Gods’ power imprinting the rules of space, this crude formation was enough to deter the elevens realms of Asked Heaven.

Li Jing’s attempts to claim territory with such measures seemed a bit far-fetched.

As a guide to Immortals, the Star Picking Elder couldn’t afford to offend this youngster.

Nevertheless, even if he remained silent, never betrayed to Eastern Emperor Donghua, the Ascendants from Blue Star wouldn’t stand by and allow their Ascension Platform to be occupied.

On this side.

With Wina’s power, Li Jing slightly sensed after setting up his formation, quite satisfied with it. Considering his current level, such an achievement was commendable. At least a Seven-Star Formation now covered the entire range of Chen Tang City.

Of course, Li Jing knew that this was not enough.

But he had a backup plan.

A thought passed through his mind, and Li Jing casually pulled out Ling Ling, who was sleeping in the Little Universe.

Startled by being suddenly pulled out, Ling Ling, groggily opened her big eyes and then quickly became alert with a "huh" sound.

"So this is the Immortal Realm? It seems rather special!"

The little creature babbled.

Li Jing smiled gently.

The Star Picking Elder on the side was barely keeping it together.

The Spirit of Origin...

Damn it!

What is this boy’s background!?

Why is such an extremely rare Spirit of Origin present by his side!?

And why do they seem so close to each other!?

This is...

Quite serious!

If the Eastern Emperor knew about this, he might immediately treat this boy as a distinguished guest!

Throughout history, no few have seen the Spirit of Origin, but no one has ever gained its favor. They just benefited a little bit from the Spirit of Origin due to some lucky coincidences.

What makes this boy so special?

The Star Picking Elder was full of doubts.

On this side.

Li Jing held Ling Ling, who was curiously looking around in his palm, and said.

"Could you contact the Charming Spirit and ask her to come and help me create a measure for Chen Tang City that can resist foreign enemies when necessary?"

?

Ling Ling expressed her confusion with a question mark.

"Chen Tang City?"

"Yes, the city down there."

Li Jing smiled faintly.

"Ah, they changed the name of the city?"

Ling Ling blinked her innocent eyes and then nodded.

"I’ll try contacting Charming Spirit, I’m not sure if she’s available right now."

As she spoke, Ling Ling closed her eyes.

Listening to the conversation between the two, the Star Picking Elder perked up his ears, filled with curiosity.

Charming Spirit, should be the friend of the Spirit of Origin?

Those that are considered friends by the Spirit of Origin, definitely can’t be mediocre.

Could she be another existence from the Immortal Realm, or...?

While he was speculating, Ling Ling opened her eyes.

"She’s here, you’d better close your senses."

"Alright."

Li Jing nodded and looked at the Star Picking Elder.

"You heard what she said, shouldn’t you act accordingly?"

The Star Picking Elder was slightly stunned by those words.

Li Jing didn’t bother explaining further and closed his eyes, sealing off his own senses.

The next second.

A rift in space opened beside him, and a slender and smooth leg stepped out.

The Star Picking Elder hadn’t sealed his senses.

Seeing the rift in space appeared, he subconsciously looked over.

At the sight of it, he felt as if a ball of lewd fire surged uncontrollably from his abdomen.

The Star Picking Elder muttered a curse and quickly redirected his gaze, trying to steady his mind while sealing his senses, but it was all in vain.

He was shocked.

What...

What’s going on?

Who exactly was this woman who radiated such immense power?

He had only seen a leg, and yet...

While he was in doubt, the Star Picking Elder’s entire body began to shake.

The lewd fire quickly spread throughout his body, nearly overwhelming his sanity.

He could no longer think properly and was desperate to release this overwhelming desire on something, anything.

That wasn’t all.

It seemed like his cultivation base had also caught fire...

Without thinking, the Star Picking Elder started trembling and cried out.

"Fellow cultivator, save me!"

Li Jing had sealed his senses at this moment, so how could he hear his plea for help?

Even If he heard, he wouldn’t be able to help.

However, he had previously instructed Ling Ling to deal with this situation if needed, as a means to intimidate the Star Picking Elder via Charming Spirit’s power.

As expected.

Seeing the Star Picking Elder’s cultivation base catch fire, Ling Ling lifted her hand and pointed towards him.

The lewd fire within the Star Picking Elder was instantly extinguished.

Feeling the cessation of the lewd fire, the Star Picking Elder, trembling with fear, breathed a sigh of relief.

On the other side.

Charming Spirit, who had crossed realms, noticed Ling Ling helping the Star Picking Elder extinguish the fire and glanced at Li Jing suspiciously.

As an Origin Spirit like Ling Ling.

Unlike Ling Ling who was innocent and kind, Charming Spirit was wicked by nature.

In terms of shrewdness, she was second to none.

She could clearly see that Li Jing was leveraging her power to teach the old man a lesson. But she didn’t care.

Charming Spirit looked around and smiled beautifully towards the direction of Zhong Shen Zhou.

Four extremely subtle divine senses retreated quietly because of her smile.

After warding off the prying divine senses, Charming Spirit glanced at Li Jing, smiling but not smiling, and then looked down at Chen Tang City and blew a breath. Then she turned back to the still open spatial rift. Before leaving, she left a message for Ling Ling.

"Tell Li Jing that I left him a power seed, which can be detonated when necessary."
