Feng Wanli felt helpless, eager to cultivate in the Seven Mystery Tower, but Qin Wuhui was in a hurry to find Shu Wangjuan, Hua Bufan, and others, urgently searching for the Four-sided Lamp Fire Map.
Since he had invited them, of course he had to accompany them, so he could only give up the idea of entering the Seven Mystery Tower for cultivation.
“All right, then let’s go to that place first and talk when we come back!” Feng Wanli said helplessly.
Qin Wuhui nodded in satisfaction, “We’ve already delayed for quite a few days, they must be getting impatient, let’s hurry up!”
Feng Wanli looked at Li Cheng and cracked a smile, “If Li Cheng would use the Immortal Spirit Step to take us there, it would be quick, just about a hundred steps away!”
A hundred steps, that was tens of millions of miles. Flying normally, even though everyone was a Heavenly Immortal, it would still take quite a few days.
The Immortal Spirit Step was different, with Li Cheng’s current level of skill, it was just like walking normally.
Following the direction pointed by Feng Wanli, Li Cheng took the two of them and started walking, heading north for over a hundred and twenty steps, adjusting the direction a few times, and finally, a vast and boundless sea of trees appeared before them.
Above the forest, a faint mist drifted, ethereal and mysterious.
“Where is this?” Li Cheng asked curiously, because his Immortal Sense could only probe a thousand miles into the forest sea here!
Inside the thousand-mile forest, the terrain was flat, filled with towering ancient trees, and oddly, not a single animal could be seen!
“Misty Forest ah, this forest is extremely strange, it suppresses Immortal Sense, and the gravity is also abnormal,” Feng Wanli explained.
Qin Wuhui nodded, “The deeper you go, the stronger the gravity becomes, and even the vegetation gets shorter, but the toughness of the branches and leaves increases.”
Li Cheng’s eyes lit up, “Such a great place, we should have come here earlier!”
Feng Wanli and Qin Wuhui were astonished, a great place?
Not at all great!
Qin Wuhui coughed dryly, “Within tens of thousands of miles from the outskirts, there isn’t even an insect, fish, bird, or beast, but in the inner areas, there live many strange demon beasts with extremely strong bodies, which are quite troublesome!”
Feng Wanli chuckled mockingly, “You Confucian Immortals don’t focus on physical cultivation, so naturally, you feel constrained in such places.” “Are you making fun of me? You don’t even have a physical body to speak of, and you’re making fun of me?” Qin Wuhui couldn’t help laughing.
Feng Wanli’s mouth twitched and he said no more.
“Abnormal gravity, there must be some treasure at the core area, or an accumulation of Space Law, causing the space to be extremely firm, hence the greater suppression. I like this kind of place…”
Saying so, Li Cheng started walking on air.
Feng Wanli and Qin Wuhui hurriedly followed.
After flying for tens of thousands of miles, Qin Wuhui said, “The gravity is now tens of thousands of times stronger than normal, making it somewhat difficult to fly, and it consumes too much Immortal Yuan, shall we switch to walking?”
Feng Wanli finally smiled, “Look, Li Cheng is not affected at all. This gap… tsk tsk!”
Qin Wuhui glared at Feng Wanli, “Alright, let’s keep flying!”
As he spoke, a white chess piece appeared under Qin Wuhui’s feet, flying with the chess piece.
“How deep did you guys go back then?” Feng Wanli asked.
“Fifty thousand miles. At that point, the gravity had already exceeded fifty thousand times stronger. For us in the Confucian Sect, it was already difficult to fly without the aid of artifacts, and the consumption would have been immense,” Qin Wuhui explained.
Feng Wanli frowned, “Misty City is located a hundred thousand miles away. You were still fifty thousand miles short. Then you came back to tell me you couldn’t find it? You did that on purpose, right?”
“No, the Saintess went to the central area alone and couldn’t find anything, so I went back to find you.”
Li Cheng did indeed discern that at the heart of the Misty Forest, there lay a city!
” What’s the story behind Misty City? How strong is the gravity there?” Li Cheng asked.
Feng Wanli pondered and said, “The gravity in Misty City exceeds a million times that of the standard. Its origins are unknown, but it was named after its location at the center of the Misty Forest by the generations that followed.”
Li Cheng’s eyes showed surprise. Such formidable gravity would be difficult for an ordinary Heavenly Immortal to traverse, let alone build a city in?
Under such gravitational forces, a mere brick would weigh millions of catties, not to mention the likes of city walls and stone structures.
Who could possibly live in such a city that had been constructed to withstand that kind of gravity?
Qin Wuhun glanced at Feng Wanli and said, “A long time ago, it wasn’t known as Misty City but was said to be called Blunt Empty City!”
“Is that so? How come I never knew that?” Feng Wanli frowned.
Qin Wuhun’s expression turned solemn, “It’s right that you don’t know. Our Confucian Sect has records; one of the most mysterious existences in the Southern Domain is this Blunt Empty City!”
“You probably don’t know, at the end of the last era, there emerged a figure in the Southern Domain who was considered one of the ten remarkable figures in the Kunlun Realm!”
The words of Qin Wuhun piqued the interest of both Li Cheng and Feng Wanli!
Feng Wanli chuckled and said, “It’s no wonder the Confucian Sect has an abundance of texts; even the history of the Southern Domain is recorded? Tell us more!”
With a speechless glance at Feng Wanli, Qin Wuhun said with a serious tone, “The history of the Kunlun Realm is ancient, spanning countless eons, but in this unimaginably long river of history, later generations selected only ten of the mightiest individuals and named them the ten great eccentrics.”
“As you can imagine, each one of the ten great eccentrics is an incredibly powerful being!”
Feng Wanli couldn’t help but ask, “Is Grand Venerable Bai Jie listed among the ten great eccentrics?”
With an annoyed glower at Feng Wanli, Qin Wuhun replied, “He is included; he is also the one closest to us. Don’t interrupt, I’m speaking of Blunt Empty Venerable now!”
Seemingly not giving Feng Wanli another opportunity to speak, Qin Wuhun continued, “Blunt Empty Venerable was from the end of the last era, and this city was once called Blunt Empty City; you should be making the connection by now, right?”
“It’s recorded that Blunt Empty Venerable excelled in Space and Earth Attribute Power. These two powers combined could easily influence the Gravity Field!”
“Therefore, we conjecture that this so-called Misty City is the legacy left by Blunt Empty Venerable!”
The two were contemplative. If that was the case, then Misty City had existed for hundreds of millions of years!
Could that be possible?
Such a long time had passed that even the finest Immortal Artifacts would have been eroded by the power of Time; how could a city still stand?
Feng Wanli shook his head, “According to your statement, Misty City is a relic from the last era, that’s impossible!”
Qin Wuhui frowned, “Can you stop speaking? Why is it impossible? There are many regions from the last era that still exist in this world; why couldn’t one of them be a city?”
Feng Wanli was speechless; it seemed plausible since he had seen it himself— the Five Elements Elf Tribe lived in the Ancient Ruins, where the Order of Heaven and Earth appeared to be from the last era.
Li Cheng was curious, “Let’s go and see for ourselves. Senior Qi, as we walk, tell us about the other eight eccentrics, will you?”
Qin Wuhun stroked his chin whiskers with satisfaction and nodded at Li Cheng, liking how others were eager to hear stories from him.
“The ranking of the ten great eccentrics is in chronological order; the most recent is Grand Venerable Bai Jie, and now there are legends about him all over the Kunlun Realm!”
“Going further back, there was the Five Elements Great Emperor, and then Blunt Empty Venerable…”
“Wait a minute, the Five Elements Great Emperor and Blunt Empty Venerable are separated by hundreds of millions of years; were there no formidable individuals in between?” Feng Wanli interrupted Qin Wuhun once again.
