Eternal Life: My Lifespan Increases Daily-Chapter 327 - 276: Feng City, Spirit Crystal (Two-in-One)
After entering the city, Song Changming and the others, initially eager to explore the novelty, soon calmed down.
"Why are the buildings inside Ancient Abyss Country so similar to those in Yunling City?" Song Ping’an scratched his head, walking down the broad main street and looking at the styles of the houses on either side, couldn’t help but say.
He had been to the Imperial Capital Yunling City of the Da Lai Dynasty several times in the past.
Comparing it with Feng City in Ancient Abyss Country, aside from the different city layouts, many architectural styles were quite similar.
To the extent that he once thought he had returned to the Da Lai Imperial Capital.
Li Jinyu nodded and said, "It should be this way."
"In the past, the ancestors of Da Han came from Ancient Abyss Country. When they reached the Other Shore of the Abyss, the first city established a thousand years ago was Yunling City. It is perfectly normal to retain the building style of Ancient Abyss City-State."
Upon hearing this, Song Ping’an finally understood.
"This also suggests that the history of Feng City must be quite ancient." Song Changming said.
After entering the city, he quickly sensed the extremely old and heavy historical feeling of the city.
This marvelous feeling of being amidst the pages of a historical book was something that neither Da Han nor the later Da Lai Dynasty could experience.
"Do you feel the spiritual energy in the city is more concentrated?" Li Jinyu suddenly asked.
Although he was not versed in Martial Tao, he could keenly sense the changes in the spiritual energy of the environment.
The degree of spiritual energy concentration inside and outside the city was clearly inconsistent; more spiritual energy was gathered within the city.
"Hmm, some means must have been used to cause this artificially," Song Changming nodded, raising his eyes to look at the empty sky above.
He had already noticed this change in spiritual energy early on.
Moreover, he noticed that the drifting natural spiritual energy, after entering the city from outside, kept circling, as if trapped inside the city by an invisible shroud, no longer flowing out.
This was the main reason for the concentration of spiritual energy in the city.
These spiritual energies would be unconsciously absorbed by a large number of common folk in the city and would also be consumed by a large number of martial artists cultivating.
In a subtle way, maintaining a balance.
"Impressive, cultivating in the city is like cultivating in a Dongtian Blessed Land," Song Ping’an couldn’t help but exclaim, as he also vaguely sensed the difference between inside and outside the city.
"It’s not as good as a Dongtian Blessed Land, just that compared to ordinary places outside, it is not as good as the city," Song Changming shook his head.
If a Dongtian Blessed Land could be created so easily artificially, then treasures like the Three Thousand Spirit Mountains or the Thirty-Six Grotto Heavens of Nanzhou would not be so valuable, with countless sects and forces vying to occupy a place.
Seeing Song Changming shake his head, Song Ping’an smiled awkwardly, realizing it made sense.
Then, the four wandered around the city, exploring.
Overall, the majority of occupants in the city were ordinary people due to the massive population.
But compared to others, most of these ordinary people were physically strong and robust due to the city’s spiritual energy nourishment.
If placed in Song Changming’s past life, each might be a powerful warrior capable of tearing bears and tigers and running like wolves and leopards.
Even the women mostly appeared delicate but were actually quite strong, perhaps capable of uprooting willows.
In addition, there were many martial artists in the city, also visible everywhere.
However, personal combat was prohibited inside the city; even displaying weapons in broad daylight was not allowed, so most kept a low profile and didn’t dare act rashly.
Occasionally, shadows flew across the sky, presumably innate martial artists.
But even these innate martial artists entered the city through the city gates rather than flying in recklessly.
Song Changming thought besides the rules being this way, perhaps it also had something to do with the energy protective measures on the city walls.
Human’s major city in Ancient Abyss Country was usually a no-fly zone; those outside who could fly might not even be able to enter! 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
And aside from what Meng Jianli had briefly mentioned, the rest had to be investigated by Song Changming and the others themselves.
On the spacious avenue, a cavalry unit suddenly passed by, and pedestrians stepped aside to make way.
The cavalry wore white cloud pattern armor and rode Qilin Armor Horned Horses, appearing as an elite force with strong auras.
This white cloud pattern armor is the uniform of the Yunzhou Official Army, similar to what Meng Jianli’s personal guards wore, with only minor differences in the details and patterns of the armor.
Moreover, the chest and shoulder armor of this cavalry have the word "Feng" engraved on them, indicating they are the official army of Feng City!
The leading general of the cavalry had a great axe on his back; his armor looked exceptionally imposing, and he rode on a yellow tiger, not a regular horned horse!
"It’s General Huang, supposedly going outside the city to suppress the demon fiends again."
"Indeed, the city lord has been killed, and those demon fiends are rampant. Without thorough suppression, Feng City would be in great peril."
"Since the city lord’s death, many have fled, believing this city to be unreliable and unsafe."
"Alas, to be honest, I also want to leave; this place is ultimately too remote, and I wish to develop in Cui Bai Main City."
"You must think carefully. The main city is indeed safer, but the competition is fierce; without genuine skills, you won’t find jobs."
"That’s why I’m still hesitating..."
"..."
Song Changming and the others stood by watching the cavalry pass by, listening to the surrounding discussions, gaining some understanding.
The former Feng City Lord was assassinated by demon fiends, and the subsequent impact was indeed significant. The current atmosphere remained tense and anxious.
It was said that those demon fiends would return, and when they did, it would be the day the city falls and the time to flee.
