Chapter 8: Purchasing a Residence

"Vine Dragon Legion, Gold Jade Legion." Luo Feng sighed, "Each legion commands a super-giant mechanical flow treasure."

His own Wu-Slaying Wings were a single-unit mechanical flow treasure.

But the two colossal objects before him were legion-type mechanical flow treasures! Their value was even higher, and the number of True Gods needed to drive them was astronomical.

Mo Yu Hu introduced, "The ten great legions of Hu Yang are each led by an Eternal True God, commanding numerous Void True Gods and a vast number of True Gods. With the aid of super-giant mechanical treasures, their power is combined, even possessing some Chaos realm level power."

Luo Feng nodded. His Wu-Slaying Wings could control chaos to a certain extent! In terms of power, the single-unit Wu-Slaying Wings were indeed weaker than these legion types.

"Even the most ordinary soldier in the ten great legions of Hu Yang is at least at the True God ninth level," Mo Yu Hu said with emotion. "The ten great legions, along with the Hu Yang Guards, naturally intimidate the entire Hu Yang City."

Luo Feng nodded slightly, then with a wave of his hand, released the flying boat he had saved earlier, as well as the tribal chief and the dozen or so True Gods.

The tribal chief and the dozen True Gods looked around and saw the towering Hu Yang City in the distance, and immediately bowed respectfully, "Greetings, Honorable One."

"Ahead is Hu Yang City," Luo Feng said. "Is Hu Yang City your destination?"

Before saving them, Luo Feng had seen them and 'heard' their conversation, knowing that this tribal team was coming to Hu Yang City.

"Yes, we were planning to come to Hu Yang City. Thank you, Honorable One, for saving our lives," the tribal chief said.

"We shall part ways here."

Luo Feng nodded, then led Mo Luo Sa and Mo Yu Hu directly towards the endlessly towering East Gate of Hu Yang City.

The tribal chief and the dozen or so fellow True Gods stood in place, somewhat astonished.

"I thought we were going to be captured and used as experimental materials."

"I was ready to be a test subject!"

They were all pleasantly surprised. Who would want to be controlled when they could live freely?

The tribal chief looked at his tribesmen and said with a smile, "We were lucky this time to encounter the Honorable One. After entering the city, we will first help Suo Zi and Suo Yun apply for residence, and then purchase the necessities for the tribe. We must leave before nightfall."

Non-residents of the city must leave before nightfall.

A day on the Origin Continent is equivalent to about a year on Earth, so there is plenty of time for shopping.

"Yes," the tribesmen replied in unison.

"Suo Zi, Suo Yun, after settling in Hu Yang City, the City Lord's Mansion will collect one Chaos Crystal every era, and some dark forces will also collect a fee of about one Chaos Crystal," the tribal chief said. "Once you become Void True Gods, the City Lord's Mansion's fee will be waived."

Void True Gods, Eternal True Gods, and above are exempt from residence fees in any city.

Because they are the main force behind the operation of a large city!

"Even after becoming Void True Gods, those dark forces will still collect benefits?" Suo Zi asked.

"They will collect even more!" the tribal chief said. "Once you have been in the city for a long time, you will understand that the City Lord's Mansion does not have the final say in this city."

Suo Zi and Suo Yun listened obediently.

"Enter the city." With an order from the tribal chief, they immediately boarded the flying boat and flew towards the East Gate together.

……

The East Gate of Hu Yang City was towering and wide, enough to accommodate a vast number of True Gods entering and exiting at the same time.

"There are so many practitioners of all races entering and exiting Hu Yang City every day," Luo Feng said, watching with great interest as he flew. This was Luo Feng's first time visiting a large city on the Origin Continent, and everything seemed new to him.

"There are even those walking," Mo Luo Sa said in surprise, looking below. Besides a large number of people driving flying boats, there were also a vast number of True Gods walking into the city.

"Not everyone can afford a flying boat," Luo Feng said.

The spatial suppression on the Origin Continent is very strong, and True Gods are generally only about 'one blade' tall. Because if they are too tall, the pressure on the body's skeletal support is too great. Under such terrifying pressure, True Gods cannot fly on their own; they need to use flying treasures.

Only after reaching the Void True God realm and mastering the void can they fly on their own.

"What's that?" Luo Feng looked into the distance, where a dark cyan-winged dragon was also flying towards the East Gate.

Among the many flying boats around, this dark cyan-winged dragon was indeed very conspicuous, and its aura was also quite terrifying.

"That is a mechanical flow treasure 'Netherwing Dragon' driven by an elite squad of the Hu Yang Legion," Mo Yu Hu said with a smile, having lived in Hu Yang City for many years and being very familiar with it. "The Netherwing Dragon requires hundreds of Void True Gods to drive, and has extremely high requirements for the will of the squad leader. With this Netherwing Dragon, it can even rival an Eternal True God and is extremely good at flying."

Luo Feng nodded in understanding. The Yu Nation's military equipment was indeed strong enough.

Wherever the Netherwing Dragon flew, the surrounding flying boats naturally kept their distance. Anyone who had stayed in Hu Yang City for a while knew that this 'Netherwing Dragon' was of extraordinary origin.

……

Inside the Netherwing Dragon.

A heavily armored, robust woman was surrounded. She had four purple curved horns on her head, which resembled a crown. She had purple eyes, and purple flames burned within them. Those who had lived in Hu Yang City for a long time could recognize her appearance as a member of the top-tier Mo Li clan of Hu Yang City.

"We're finally back in Hu Yang City," a woman with a furry tail at her side said with a sigh of relief. "In the wild, I always worry about being attacked by powerful exotic beasts. It's more peaceful back in Hu Yang City."

"Sister Diao Rong, with Senior Brother Gao Wu here, what's there to be afraid of?" The robust woman looked at a figure standing not far away.

That figure was like a metal carving, and his appearance was ordinary, but his reputation had gradually spread.

Gao Wu Shui, the most beloved junior disciple of the highest commander of the Hu Yang Legion, Mo Li Xiao, had reached the tenth level of the Void True God realm at a young age. With his deep accumulation, outsiders believed that he could become an Eternal True God at any time.

"In the wild, you can't have a侥幸心 (jiǎoxìng xīn- a heart that relies on luck/ a gamblers mentality)" Gao Wu Shui looked aloof, but he was actually very gentle. "You must always be careful and vigilant, otherwise you will fall into the trap of an Eternal exotic beast, and you won't even have time to escape."

"Senior Brother Gao Wu has never made any mistakes when leading the team," the robust woman said, clearly trusting Senior Brother Gao Wu very much.

"Sister Fei Yun, I know how great your Senior Brother Gao Wu is," the woman with the furry tail joked.

"Hmm?" Gao Wu Shui suddenly startled and looked outside.

He commanded this mechanical flow treasure 'Netherwing Dragon,' and his will was also the will of the entire Netherwing Dragon. With the help of the Netherwing Dragon, his senses were naturally very acute, and he could detect Eternal True God-level exotic beasts far away in the wild.

At this moment, he sensed Luo Feng's aura not far away.

Luo Feng was acting outside with the strength of an Eternal True God, so his aura would naturally not be restrained to a 'perfectly flawless' state. Instead, like a normal Eternal True God, he would slightly dissipate some aura.

Mo Luo Sa, on the other hand, had disguised himself as a Void True God-level being, making him very inconspicuous.

"Senior Brother Gao Wu, what's wrong?" The robust woman and the woman with the furry tail both looked at Gao Wu Shui.

"There is an unfamiliar Eternal True God," Gao Wu Shui said solemnly, looking at Luo Feng flying towards the East Gate in the distance. "It's that man with the dark gold pointed horns."

"An unfamiliar Eternal True God?" The two women's expressions changed slightly, and they looked from afar. They were very clear that in Hu Yang City, no matter how deep the family background, the final decision on the order of Hu Yang City ultimately rested with that group of terrifying Eternal True Gods.

They had to have discerning eyes, otherwise, if they accidentally provoked an Eternal True God, they would die silently. Even the City Lord's Mansion would find it difficult to investigate who the murderer was.

When Eternal True Gods were involved, the authorities were unwilling to investigate too much. Because the highest level of force in the entire Hu Yang City was the Eternal True God level!

"Among the three large cities in the Nine Jiang Chaos State, our Hu Yang City has the largest number of Eternal True Gods," Gao Wu Shui said solemnly. "Today, there is one more."

"Nine Jiang City is the residence of Nine Jiang Marquis! Most Eternal True Gods are unwilling to live and cultivate under the eyes of a Chaos Dominator, after all, it's not a pleasant feeling to have a terrifying existence over their heads," the woman with the furry tail said with a smile. "Hu Yang City, as a prosperous trading city, has experts from various countries coming here, so the number of Eternal True Gods is higher."

These children of large clans could walk sideways in Hu Yang City.

But what they feared most were unfamiliar Eternal True Gods.

Unfamiliar... meant unknown!

They might just be passing through Hu Yang City, casually kill a few children of large clans, and then leave. There would be no way to investigate.

……

Luo Feng, Mo Luo Sa, and Mo Yu Hu had already entered the city and were flying within it.

"What a big city," Mo Luo Sa said after entering the city. Looking around, he only felt that the distant clouds and mist obscured the view, and there were mountains rising and falling, and towering buildings larger than the mountains.

Luo Feng, however, was sensing the aura circulation of the entire city, and nodded, "The Hu Yang City array is in operation, isolating space! To enter and exit the city, you must enter and exit through the city gates. The high altitudes above are all sealed."

Mo Luo Sa looked up at the high sky and nodded, "The space seal is very strong. Within the entire Hu Yang City, it is impossible to shuttle through space."

Mo Yu Hu also said from the side, "In Hu Yang City, you can only fly slowly, and you can't shuttle through space. Therefore, once you commit a crime, you can't escape quickly, and it's easy to be caught by the Hu Yang Guards. In Hu Yang City, we all have to fly slowly, but the Hu Yang Guards can shuttle through space, and the ten great legions of Hu Yang can also shuttle through space."

Luo Feng smiled. It sounded scary, but an Eternal True God could create a universe with a single thought, and there were many ways to deal with it.

"Mo Yu Hu, do you know where to buy a residence?" Luo Feng asked.

"I'll lead the way," Mo Yu Hu said enthusiastically. He was in a very good mood at the moment, being able to return to Hu Yang City alive with the treasure.

Whoosh!

Unable to shuttle through space, Luo Feng and the others flew for a long time before arriving at an incredibly towering palace.

This palace was divided into three floors, covering a very large area. At the entrance of the first floor, there were a vast number of True Gods entering and exiting. At the entrance of the second floor, there were only occasional figures entering and exiting. The third floor, at the highest point, was completely silent.

"To purchase a residence in Hu Yang City, you must go to this 'Chaos Palace'," Mo Yu Hu introduced. "The first floor of the Chaos Palace is for receiving True Gods. True Gods can apply for a residence for free, but they need to pay a residence fee of one Chaos Crystal per era."

Luo Feng nodded. Hu Yang City was extremely large, and it was very easy to provide each True God with a small cave dwelling. The vast number of True Gods paying one Chaos Crystal per era would accumulate into a huge income.

The fees collected by the City Lord's Mansion were used to maintain the operation of the entire Hu Yang City, such as supporting the ten great legions, the Hu Yang Guards, and a large number of officials, and maintaining the formations. The other part was to be supplied to Nine Jiang Marquis and the Yu Nation Lord.

The Yu Nation Lord, who was high above, possessed a vast amount of resources, many of which originated from countless True Gods.

"The second floor of this Chaos Palace is for receiving Void True Gods. Void True Gods need to purchase residences."

"The third floor of the Chaos Palace is for receiving Eternal True Gods," Mo Yu Hu introduced.

Luo Feng nodded and led Mo Luo Sa and Mo Yu Hu directly to the third floor of the palace at the highest point.

The third floor of the Chaos Palace was towering and empty.

As Luo Feng and the other three figures flew inside, two officials immediately appeared, their eyes burning as they looked at Luo Feng, their attitudes very respectful.

"Greetings, Divine Lord," the two officials said with extremely friendly attitudes.

Mo Luo Sa and Mo Yu Hu, who had perfectly restrained their auras, were just two servants of the Eternal True God in the eyes of the officials.

"I plan to reside in Hu Yang City temporarily and need a place to live," Luo Feng said.
