Chapter 642 - 278: Ice Island Immortal City
"This teleportation distance doesn’t seem to be short!"
Chu Ning had long developed his own insights into the Power of Space.
From that immense Power of Space acting on him, he knew that this teleportation distance was not close.
Until the Power of Space on his body completely disappeared.
The long-lost Magical Power and Divine Sense instantly returned.
Chu Ning couldn’t help but feel a slight surge of excitement in his heart.
The restoration of Magical Power didn’t particularly stir Chu Ning.
After all, on the No-Spirit Island, his physical strength was unrivaled.
But the Divine Sense was different.
The return of Divine Sense made his keen perception instantly normal again, feeling that everything between heaven and earth was under his perception.
This gave Chu Ning a strong sense of security.
The next moment, as Chu Ning gazed around, he subconsciously used his Divine Sense to sweep over.
He saw two people staring at him, both at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment.
The two were wearing the same clothing, indicating they belonged to some force.
They sensed the Early Stage of Golden Core cultivation aura around Chu Ning, and their expressions became respectful.
At the same time, they bowed and greeted:
"Greetings, Elder!"
"Greetings to you both," Chu Ning spoke calmly.
The two Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment Cultivators finally dared to lift their heads and let their eyes fall on Chu Ning.
Upon seeing Chu Ning’s youthful face, they couldn’t help but show a hint of surprise.
Both of their appearances seemed to be in their forties or fifties, and considering they had reached the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, their real age must be much older.
To see a Golden Core Cultivator much younger than them was naturally astonishing.
Especially since this person was unfamiliar, someone they had never seen before.
Just as the two of them were still in shock, Chu Ning’s voice sounded again.
"Gentlemen, I’m new to this place. Could you tell me where we are?"
The two middle-aged cultivators exchanged glances, each with a puzzled expression.
Because of this place’s peculiar reasons, they’ve seen many unfamiliar faces, but never someone who didn’t even know where they were.
Although extremely puzzled, one of them still respectfully replied:
"To inform the Elder, this is the Lower City of Ice Island Immortal City."
"Ice Island Immortal City." Chu Ning softly repeated the name.
As he sighed in relief, he marveled in his heart.
"I ended up being teleported here? No wonder it feels a bit colder."
Information about the Ice Island Immortal City quickly flashed through Chu Ning’s mind.
This place is located in the Northern Cold Land of the Celestial Derivation Realm, backed by the Snow Peak Mountain Range, and facing the Endless Sea—a renowned gathering place for loose cultivators in the Celestial Derivation Realm.
According to the information, this city gathered a large number of loose cultivators.
Unlike ordinary gathering places for loose cultivators, this place is guarded by Nascent Soul Cultivators.
And there are three of them.
The three Nascent Soul Cultivators established a power organization here called Changkong Hall.
They govern Ice Island Immortal City but impose few restrictions on visiting cultivators.
As long as you follow some established rules of the Immortal City and pay a certain amount of Spirit Stone, you can settle in the city.
Around the Immortal City, whether it’s the Snow Peak Mountain Range behind or the Endless Sea in front, all cultivators can freely gather cultivation resources.
And Changkong Hall does not use the Nascent Soul Cultivators to oppress the loose cultivators, which is why many consider it a sacred place for cultivation.
With these thoughts passing through his mind, Chu Ning’s gaze returned to the cultivator who had just spoken.
"Are you both from Changkong Hall?"
The middle-aged cultivator nodded and smiled:
"We are indeed from Changkong Hall, in charge of guarding the Teleportation Array here."
Chu Ning nodded and then asked again: "Does this Teleportation Array allow travel to the Western Alliance Continent?"
"The Western Alliance Continent?" The middle-aged man was momentarily stunned, with a look of surprise.
But he quickly shook his head and said:
"Elder, that’s not possible.
Our Teleportation Array here only teleport within the Northern Cold Land."
After listening, Chu Ning lightly furrowed his brow and then pondered for a moment.
"It seems that returning to the Jiuhua Sect immediately is impossible. Ice Island Immortal City is famous, and since I’ve come, I might as well explore it."
As he thought about it, Chu Ning continued talking to the middle-aged man:
"My friend, I would like to stay in this Ice Island Immortal City for some time. What are the requirements?"
"Oh, Elder wishes to reside in Ice Island Immortal City?" The middle-aged man’s eyes lit up.
He immediately responded, "I can guide you, Elder."
Chu Ning was somewhat surprised at the middle-aged man’s enthusiasm.
But considering this is Changkong Hall’s domain, having an insider guide would indeed be beneficial.
Chu Ning nodded lightly and said, "In that case, I’ll rely on you."
"You’re too kind, Elder. I’m Wu Xuqiang, and I haven’t asked your esteemed name yet."
The middle-aged cultivator bore a wide smile.
He handed the Teleportation Array responsibilities to another cultivator and then led Chu Ning out of the Array.
"Chu Ning."
After introducing himself, Wu Xuqiang quickly continued:
"So it’s Elder Chu, let me first introduce Ice Island Immortal City to you.
Ice Island Immortal City is divided into Upper City and Lower City. Lower City is built at the foot of the Snow Peak Mountain Range, mainly housing mortals and Low Tier Cultivators, with relatively thin Spiritual Qi.
The Upper City is built on the Spirit Vein of the Snow Peak Mountain Range, where Spiritual Qi is much more concentrated. Our Changkong Hall is also located in the Upper City.
Since you are in the Golden Core Realm, I assume you will live in the Upper City?"
