You Have Science, I Have Martial Arts-Chapter 402 - 205: What, Do You Also Want to Be a Live-In Prince Consort? (Part 2)
Such a large Grotto Heaven means that the powerful being responsible for guarding it is likely not just a Divine Level expert at the level of a Star Monarch; it might even be a living Emperor Level!
"Can’t afford to mess with that..."
Ye Qingzhou estimated that Kang Jinlong’s reputation would be of little use in the Kunlun Grotto Heaven: "It seems that this operation must be kept completely confidential. If anyone learns that I have information about the Holy Sword Xuanyuan, the experts within Kunlun Grotto Heaven might not be able to resist getting involved."
Having used the Divine Weapon Emperor Wu that accompanies the Flame Emperor Sword several times, Ye Qingzhou was well aware that such supremely powerful martial techniques would inevitably attract envy.
"Hopefully, everything will go smoothly."
After breakfast, the group prepared to set out.
Ye Qingzhou and Huang Liwen followed the team to wait at the teleportation array.
There, people were already waiting. The teleportation platform was a nine-layered earthen tower, incredibly vast, capable of teleporting a thousand people at once.
Among them, besides researchers with a demeanor similar to Lii Yong, there were many Master Level and Professional Level Martial Artists, clearly all entering the Kunlun Grotto Heaven to seek breakthroughs or opportunities.
One team caught Ye Qingzhou’s attention: "Three Master Levels, twenty-four Professional Levels, and an intense aura of hostility—dangerous individuals."
Unless it involved him, Ye Qingzhou didn’t bother meddling in others’ affairs.
"Ye Long."
Fuu Ping came over and took the initiative to say, "When we enter the Imperial Capital later, do you want me to show you around?"
Ye Qingzhou didn’t even need to use Cicada Awakening to feel the resentful gaze from behind him.
No need to guess—it must be Li Xiangrong staring at him.
But with lovely company, how could Ye Qingzhou refuse?
"Sure."
"Hehe, I know a few fun places, I’ll take you there then."
"I’m looking forward to it."
Ye Qingzhou casually responded a few words.
Once Fuu Ping was called away by Lii Yong, Huang Liwen came over, using the Spiritual Resonance Secret Technique of the Dou Character Seal, and sent a thought transmitting sound to complain: "Old Ye, aren’t you forgetting that we came here to handle serious business? Don’t just focus on flirting!"
Ye Qingzhou rolled his eyes at Huang Liwen and then responded with thought transmitting sound: "If we don’t act like tourists having fun, how can we gather clues? Are we supposed to announce we’re here to search for the Xuanyuan Sword? Can you imagine how many experts would come to snatch it?"
Only then did Huang Liwen realize the gravity of the situation, giving Ye Qingzhou a thumbs up: "You’ve truly got it all figured out, so flirting is part of the serious business, huh?"
"Zip it."
Everyone gathered, and the teleportation array activated.
With the flickering lights, Ye Qingzhou and Huang Liwen were transported to the Imperial Capital within the Kunlun Grotto Heaven.
"Whoa~"
The scene before his eyes left Huang Liwen awestruck.
Even Ye Qingzhou felt his horizons broadening at this moment.
The sight that unfolded was a massive city.
Indeed, the Imperial Capital left Ye Qingzhou with the first impression of one word—big!
Modern skyscrapers couldn’t compare to this city; even the tallest building on Blue Star looked like a toy in front of the giant, not to mention the world’s tallest building on Blue Star.
"Is this the Imperial Capital?"
Ye Qingzhou looked around, inwardly criticizing the "Imperial" part for being misleading, as the city was anything but "lower," rather shockingly high!
The city stretched eight hundred li and was built on a platform two thousand meters high, creating an overwhelmingly impressive visual impact.
After all, the tallest building on Blue Star was only a bit over eight hundred meters.
Huang Liwen gazed in awe, exclaiming, "It’s like flattening a mountain to build a gigantic city on top."
Ye Qingzhou nodded in agreement: "Even using the Power of Mental Imagery of a Martial Saint would probably not accomplish such a monumental work, only a mythical Divine Realm expert could wield such world-altering power."
Then Huang Liwen was left speechless, communicating with Ye Qingzhou via thought transmitting sound: "Old Ye, are we really going to find a sword in such a vast place? It’s like searching for a needle in a haystack!"
"So quickly recall where you saw the Xuanyuan Sword and what the surrounding environment looked like."
As Ye Qingzhou urged, he rolled up his sleeves: "Do I need to give you another session of the Great Memory Recovery Technique?"
"No need!"
Huang Liwen refused emphatically; getting beaten was indeed painful!
Subsequently, the two followed Lii Yong, leaving the teleportation array and heading to the city gate entrance.
From high above, the black, white, red, cyan, and yellow rivers of Primordial Qi crisscrossed the entire Imperial Capital, gathering fortune and spiraling above the city, forming a magnificent presence of myriad weather phenomena.
Within the city, there were nine gigantic wells.
The water in these wells was not ordinary water, but liquid Primordial Qi, providing energy for the operation of the Imperial Capital and supporting the cultivation of the powerful within the city.
Thus, the entrance fee was not cheap, costing one Blade Coin per person per day.
Before coming in, Ye Qingzhou and Huang Liwen both exchanged this exceptionally old-fashioned Blade Coin from Lii Jingshan.
Ten million each, Ye Qingzhou spent a billion to exchange for a thousand Blades.
If used sparingly, it should be enough.
Ye Qingzhou, feeling the luxury of holding the Blade Coin in his hand, thought it extravagant; after all, the material used for minting Blade Coins, called Copper Essence, was a Middle Grade Treasure, not cheap.
This material, on Blue Star, was used for casting Good Grade and Fine Grade famous swords, usually priced per gram.
In Kunlun Grotto Heaven, however, it was used directly for minting coins, highlighting a sense of wealth and extravagance.
