Chapter 759: God’s Sob
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Gods Bestow City was truly a place where people were exploited!
When Jiang Yi and Qian Wanguan found the no.1112 courtyard, they realized that it was actually two times smaller than the courtyard they were residing in Purple Jade City. The size didn’t really matter, but most importantly, it actually didn’t have any restriction barrier!?
If Jiang Yi wanted to bring out the Thearch Palace, he had to activate the barrier and use the illusion stone to set up an illusion zone. Otherwise, anyone who walked past this place would be able to scout inside his Thearch Palace. When Qian Wanguan was negotiating at the city lord residence, the commander said that if they wanted to put up a restriction barrier, they had to hand over 100 million celestial stones.
The commander stated that the others were also living in their courtyards without any restriction barrier, and it was absolutely safe in the city. However, Lu Lin and the Hong and Li Clans might still be searching for them. How could they be so careless?
Finally, Jiang Yi gritted his teeth and got Qian Wanguan to pay 100 million celestial stones and gotten the city lord residence to arrange someone to set up a restriction. Fortunately, this restriction was rather powerful, and martial artists without powerful divine senses would never be able to scout inside.
After settling down with their residence, everyone was a little more relaxed. Qian Wanguan went out for another trip and bought some illusion stones and daily necessities. When he returned, his entire face was darkened as the price of everything was 100 times more expensive than the other islands. He had just casually bought a few things and spent another 10 million celestial stones.
Qian Wanguan even brought back another piece of bad news. In Gods Bestow City, whenever there was a full moon, there would be a “God’s Sob”, and everyone in the city would be affected by it. Those without a powerful soul spirit would find it abnormally uncomfortable during God’s Sob. If they didn’t want to feel the discomfort… they simply had to consume a “God’s Sob Elixir”, but every single elixir would require 10 million celestial stones.
“What is this God’s Sob?”
Jiang Yi’s forehead was filled with wrinkles. How could this be a city bestowed by the gods? It was practically a city of devils. Would regular martial artists, who didn’t have any means of getting celestial stones, be able to survive in this place?
“I do not know what exactly it is…”
Qian Wanguan shook his head and said, “I heard that it is the sobbing sound of the gods, and it was already around since the Gods Bestow City had been constructed. This city was constructed by the Great Emperor Nangong, and not even he was able to remove the sobbing sound of the gods. His only choice was to refine an elixir which could block out the sound when God’s Sob is happening. That right… tomorrow is the night of the full moon. Boss, if you don’t consume God’s Sob Elixir, you will be able to hear it soon enough.”
“Fraudulent!”
Jiang Yi cursed silently and shook his hand helplessly. “Go and buy ten God’s Sob Elixirs tomorrow. If anyone is truly unable to withstand it, then consume the elixir.”
The illusion stones that Qian Wanguan had bought were of the highest grade. He was familiar with the setup and quickly put up an illusion zone inside the courtyard. With the addition of the restriction of the courtyard, one wouldn’t be able to discover the Thearch Palace unless they were at the peak stage of the Heaven Monarch Realm. Even if they discovered the Thearch Palace, it would be difficult for them to sense Jiang Yi and others who would be inside of it. It had greatly decreased the possibility of them getting exposed.
“Cultivate!”
Jiang Yi left the Golden Flood Dragon on the outside while everyone else entered the Thearch Palace to cultivate. After sitting for a moment and circulating the Nameless Divine Art, Jiang Yi opened his eyes and was ecstatic!
“My cultivation speed has truly reached 1000 times! With such a cultivation speed, I will only need about three months to evolve my fourth star sphere!”
After going through all the trials and tribulations to come to the Gods Bestow City, and after suffering the exploitations of the four major clans, this Gods Bestow City truly didn’t disappoint Jiang Yi. The essence force here was truly ten times more than the outside world. After having the compliments of the Thearch Palace and his flawless body constitution, his cultivation speed was now 1000 times faster than a normal individual. His cultivation speed was just the same as flying and was just slightly slower than when he refined the celestial stones.
Cultivation wasn’t like refining the celestial stones. When the heaven and earth essence force shrouded the entire body, it would pour in through every part of the body and allow the body to receive nourishment, gradually strengthening the body. This way, the body would achieve a harmonious strengthening which wouldn’t ruin the natural array inside the body.
When Jiang Yi’s fourth star sphere was half-filled, it got even harder for him to cultivate. However, it was different now. With the cultivation speed which was 1000 times faster, the essence force in his star sphere was gushing out like a fountain with shocking speed.
He entered the Union of Heaven and Man state while splitting a portion of his consciousness to control his body and circulate the Nameless Divine Art, allowing the essence force to constant gush out. At the same time, he would be comprehending the dao pattern without delaying anything.
The night passed with a blink of the eye. Jiang Yi teleported Qian Wanguan out during daybreak and continued to cultivate. During noontime, Qian Wanguan returned along with ten God’s Sob Elixirs.
“Boss, our celestial stones are almost running out…”
Qian Wanguan had this wailing expression as the things in the city were just too expensive. They originally had 400 million celestial stones after exchanging the merits they required. Jiang Yi had given Huangfu Taotian 100 million, setting up the restriction in the courtyard required 100 million, and the purchase of ten God’s Sob Elixirs took another 100 million. After adding up all the expenses for the Heaven Fate Ship ride, purchase of the illusion stones in the city… 400 million celestial stones were used up just like this.
“Just let it run out. I will paint some Heaven Paintings later on!”
Jiang Yi rubbed his face with frustration. After selling out 600 Heaven Paintings previously, they might have caused a huge commotion. It was probable that someone was already investigating on them. If they were to continue selling the Heaven Paintings now, there might be a huge chance they would be exposed.
If they didn’t sell the paintings, what else could they do?
It was impossible to survive in this damned city without celestial stones. They had gone through a lot of suffering in order to arrive in this place, which had such a stunning cultivation speed. How could they just give up like this?
Feng Luan’s beautiful eyes flickered as she said, “Young Master better spare out some time every day to practice his painting skills. The better your painting skills, the higher the value of the Heaven Painting. It might be possible that a single painting would be enough for us to last for a few months. The lesser Heaven Paintings we sell, the lesser risk of exposure.”
“Alright!”
Jiang Yi nodded. Since it was impossible to fuse the dao patterns in such a short period of time, and he was able to stop his cultivation whenever he liked. It wouldn’t have too much of an impact on him.
After cultivating for an entire afternoon, it was almost nighttime; and Jiang Yi stopped his cultivation and asked everyone to gather. He even woke Jiang Xiaonu up and gave a God’s Sob Elixir to the Yazi Beast, asking it to consume it when it couldn’t resist anymore.
As night came, the bright moon slowly rose up into the sky. Everyone held their breaths and extended their divine senses outside, waiting for that God’s Sob to arrive.
It was very quiet during nighttime in Gods Bestow City. There wasn’t even a single light, and it looked as though it had turned into a ghost town. As dark clouds were blown over, they obstructed the bright moon, obscuring it and making the Gods Bestow City even more bizarre.
Suddenly—
The edge of the bright moon had lit up with red light suddenly, causing the Gods Bestow City to shake lightly. Jiang Yi and everyone else inside the Thearch Palace could clearly feel the tremor. The skies above the city lit up with a rainbow-colored barrier while the essence force in the city got chaotic. Violent winds were blowing across while a subtle sobbing sound could be heard.
“Wuu-Wuu… Wuu-Wuu…”
The voice sounded just like a sobbing, like a girl sobbing. The voice wasn’t loud, but it clearly echoed in everyone’s mind and in their soul spirit!
“This!”
Jiang Yi’s eyes flashed with cold light as he could clearly feel the soul spirit attack contained inside the voice. The subtle sobbing sound was just like countless invisible sharp blades stabbing at the soul spirit. It felt as though countless ants were ripping at the soul spirit, making it abnormally uncomfortable.
“Ahhh… Young Master, I feel unwell.”
Qing Yu was the first to fall as her delicate body went soft while she grasped her head and rolled on the ground. Jiang Yi carried her immediately and tossed a green-colored elixir into her mouth while picking up a glass of clean water to help her consume the elixir.
As expected!
After consuming God’s Sob Elixir, Qing Yu’s complexion looked better as she went back to normal, as though nothing had happened. She couldn’t hear the horrific sobbing voice anymore.
