Chapter 737: Chapter 740: On the Dragon Car
In the Original World, there is a mountain range nad Heavenly Ridge, which spans across hundreds of kingdoms such as Qin, Jin, Zhao, Xia etc., it is a continuous mountain range extending for billions of light years.
The highest point of this mountain even surpasses so planets, it truly extends beyond the heavens, thus the na Heavenly Ridge.
This mountain does not belong to any country, and no country can have absolute control over it.
This place is a haven for smugglers and criminals. Many people who cannot go to other countries will enter Heavenly Ridge.
Of course, one could also venture to the Endless Star Sea, but there are Imperial Clans there, as well as so races that rely on the Imperial Clans. These races are enemies of the surface races in the Original World, so going to the Endless Star Sea would be very dangerous.
Within the Heavenly Ridge, there is a very famous city called Freedom City.
In the past, people used to say that the most powerful country in the Original World was the Qin Kingdom, but if one were to talk about the most famous city, it would not be the capital of the Qin Kingdom, rather it would be Freedom City.
This place has the most developed comrce, as well as the most chaotic order. No matter what your status, no one in Freedom City will pay you any mind. As long as you have the ability, you can survive here.
Freedom City covers an area of thousands of kiloters, but this is not the real Freedom City.
The real Freedom City is located on the absolute peak of Heavenly Ridge, the residence of the Lord of Freedom City.
It is said that the absolute peak of Heavenly Ridge is a million kiloters high, and on top of the peak is a small planet!
There is a castle on the planet, which is the real Freedom City. The massive city below can rely be considered an extension or appendage of Freedom City.
Generally speaking, the place where the Lord of Freedom City resides is known as Sky Freedom City, while the one on the Heavenly Ridge is called Earth Freedom City.
Freedom City is governed by a City Lord. People only know him as the Freedom City Lord. His existence ensures the independence of the Heavenly Ridge area, hence it remains unconquered by any country.
However, this City Lord does not manage mundane affairs. No matter what happens inside the Earth Freedom City, he won’t interfere; yet, as long as he exists, Freedom City exists.
The Lord is a great God in the Original World, mysterious and lofty, just like the owner of the Falling Star Lake into which stars fall automatically every day.
Moreover, this place is also a Martial Arts Sacred Land.
Freedom City of Heavenly Ridge, Da Qin Falling Star Lake, Fairy Island Twin Tree Garden, Desert Locking God Terrace, these are the Four Major Martial Arts Sacred Lands in the Original World. Many renowned figures originated from these four places.
Warriors who co from these four places are called Holy Land Warriors.
In the Original World, there is a saying that warriors are divided into two types: one is the ordinary warrior, the other is the Holy Land Warrior.
The reason why Da Qin is the strongest empire is because of Falling Star Lake. Warriors coming out of Falling Star Lake all possess great strength!
No one will check your identity here, you can also travel to any place through here, as long as you pay the fee.
As long as you board the transportation of Freedom City to other places, Freedom City will guarantee your safety before you leave the vehicle.
Once, a country nad ng hijacked the transportation of Freedom City. However, the Lord of Freedom City sent a disciples, who was a Holy Land Warrior, to slaughter the entire royal family of the Da ng Empire. The incident changed the country dramatically.
Keep in mind, the Emperor of Da ng was a warrior of the Three Flowers Realm!
A single Three Flowers, countless Longevity, everyone involved in this affair was eradicated!
No one has yet dared to seek revenge, such is the deterrence of the Lord of Freedom City.
*********
On a Dragon Car from Freedom City to the Da Qin Empire, dozens of passengers have already taken their seats.
This Dragon Car only requires a driver and a White Dragon. The speed of the White Dragon is the sub-light speed limit, and it can pass through all teleportation arrays without queuing or waiting, making it one of the fastest forms of transportation.
It only takes half a month to cover the couple tens of millions of light years from Freedom City to the Da Qin Empire.
The White Dragon soared into the sky, disappearing into the horizon.
There is no feeling of weightlessness inside the Dragon Car. The passengers leaving Freedom City all had an excited look on their faces.
Dong Xiaoqi looked sowhat enviously at the young couple sitting opposite him.
To be precise, he was envious of the man.
This pair of man and woman were both dressed in coarse hemp clothes. The man was handso and striking, while the woman was a beauty so stunning that the coarse clothes couldn’t hide her elegance. She rested her delicate head lightly on the man’s shoulder. Her occasionally wandering eyes were so captivating they could even steal one’s soul.
The man was a Fifth-Level World King, while the woman was only a Domain Monarch.
Dong Xiaoqi squinted slightly, listening to the conversation of the young couple.
“Husband….Every ti I call you that, I find it strange. You are not that old yet.”
A trace of a mischievous smile lingered on the man’s face: “It doesn’t matter, it’s just a term of endearnt, like calling soone Old Zhang or Old Li.”
The woman nodded slightly: “Husband, how long before we arrive in Da Qin?”
Dong Xiaoqi quietly thought, so the man’s surna is Gong.
The man softly replied: “It won’t be long, just half a month. What, are you getting tired of staying in Freedom City?”
“Hmm, it’s been three years here already, when will my illness be cured?”
“Your treatnt this ti is going quite well, I had previously estimated that it would take ten years to cure, but it now appears that it should be done in about three to four more years.”
As he said this, the man affectionately stroked the woman’s hair, “How much do you rember now?”
The woman rolled her eyes at him: “I rember the ti we took a bath, the subsequent stuff is still quite blurry.”
“Take your ti. In a little over a year, you should rember everything about . By then, the dicine’s effects will have completely faded, and your powers should also have been restored.”
“Okay!” The woman appeared well-behaved, softly agreeing in a way that tickled one’s heart.
“We’ve had a hard ti here in Freedom City, but now that your condition has stabilized, once we reach Da Qin, I promise we will make lots of money. Everything will get better.”
The woman lifted her head: “You know I do not care about that.”
As they looked deeply into each other’s eyes, Dong Xiaoqi felt a pang in his heart.
Bringing a woman of this level along yet living a difficult life, this man nad Gong is really too inept.
If I display only a little of my own abilities, perhaps the beautiful woman would look at differently. Who doesn’t like money? As far as I can tell, aside from his good looks, the man doesn’t seem capable of much. Maybe I do have a chance to win over this beauty.
He cleared his throat to catch the attention of the couple ahead, Dong Xiaoqi said: “Brother, how do you do?”
The man lifted his head, replying indifferently: “How do you do.”
“As the saying goes, ‘a chance encounter implies predestined affinity’. Let introduce myself: I am Dong XiaoQi from the Da Qin Herbal Material Chamber of Comrce, responsible for purchasing dicinal ingredients for the National Capital Alchemist Guild.”
The man was taken aback for a mont before showing so interest: “Oh! That’s quite a coincidence. I am an alchemist too.”
Hearing that the other party was an alchemist, Dong XiaoQi instantly beca more enthusiastic.
Since he’s an alchemist, he should understand the importance of my role in the procurent of dicinal ingredients. In fact, many alchemists secretly contact , trying to get dicinal ingredients at a lower price.
After all, those alchemists with discount privileges are all Senior Alchemists. This man nad Gong in front of seems to be just over a thousand years old, potentially a first-grade apprentice who is overreaching himself by calling himself an alchemist.
“How should I address you, Mister Gong, the sa way as I do this beautiful lady?” asked Dong XiaoQi.
The man across suddenly coughed violently, and waved his hand repeatedly: “That’s not necessary, not necessary. You seem older than , you can call Xiao Gong.”
“Alright then, Xiao Gong, since I seem older to you, allow to say a few words.”
The man and woman exchanged glances and turned their attention towards him, curious about what he had to say.
“Is this your younger sister?”
Xiao Gong nodded slightly, grasping the woman a little tighter.
“I heard earlier that your younger sister seems to be ill. This is a matter that cannot be delayed. If you are sick, you must seek treatnt imdiately. Don’t hesitate to spend money on dicine or hesitate to invite a good alchemist. You claid to be an alchemist, but it seems like you are struggling to treat her illness.”
“It’s alright, not very difficult.”
“Ah! Don’t lie to . It looks like you are living a difficult life. Here is what we will do, after we reach Da Qin, I will take you to the alchemist guild. The cost of looking for an alchemist, buying elixirs, and the treatnt fee, I will take care of all.”
Xiao Gong squinted his eyes slightly: “That doesn’t seem right, the cost to treat Xuan’er’s illness would be pretty high.”
“That’s your perspective. What is ‘a lot’ to you? Perhaps in your view, several hundred thousand is a lot, but in my eyes, even several million is just pocket change. As long as your sister…Oh! Your sister is called Xuan’er, right? Such a beautiful na. As long as Xuan’er’s illness can be cured, no amount of money is too much!”
Dong Xiaoqi patted his chest loudly, displaying his willingness to take care of everything.
Xiao Gong suddenly gave a laugh, “If that is the case, then we might really need to bother you when we reach Da Qin.”
“No bother at all. I have a house on the outskirts of the capital. You can stay as guests.”
Xiao Gong nodded his head: “Alright, please add the Dinsional Universe to Dong Xiaoqi.”
The two then swapped their Dinsional Universe codes. Dong Xiaoqi originally wanted to add Xuan’er’s Dinsional Universe code as well, but the beautiful woman was quite cold towards him. Her gaze was as indifferent as looking at a rock. There was neither admiration nor regard in her eyes, making him a tad disheartened.
After chatting for a while, even without letting Dong Xiaoqi show off his wealth, Xuan’er already seed sowhat tired and leaned on Xiao Gong’s shoulder: “Honey, I’m tired.”
“Alright, if you’re tired, let’s rest. What you need right now is a long period of rest, don’t worry, I’ll always be by your side.”
Xuan’er nodded slightly, then nuzzled into his arms. Though her mory had not yet returned, this warm embrace was undoubtedly the place she felt most attached to.
Dong XiaoQi watched enviously as Xiao Gong held the beautiful woman, and she surprisingly quickly fell asleep. He wanted nothing more than to take her place in his arms.
Xiao Gong shot a glance at him, a light in his eyes that sent shivers down his spine.
Dong Xiaoqi was taken aback. Though he himself was a fourth-level World King and had encountered many powerful individuals, Xiao Gong, being a fifth-level World King, actually managed to instill fear in him.
“This young man has strong spiritual power, but it doesn’t matter. Once you two outsiders reach Da Qin, you’ll be at my rcy!”
Days passed steadily. The young couple spent most of their ti in cultivation, leaving Dong XiaoQi with little opportunity for conversation.
Thankfully, the half-month quickly passed; when the Dragon Car began to slow, they had arrived at the Da Qin Empire!
