Chapter 1197: Arrival at Tian Shuang City, Establishing a Foothold (2)Editor: Henyee Translations
The second celestial canopy that covered Tian Shuang City was a grand array formation of the Immortal Tier. Its mysterious energies resonated with the heavens and earth, creating a spectacular phenomenon. This array had existed since the city was built, passed down from ancient times, and was the foundation upon which Tian Shuang City stood firm in the Grand Thousand Mountain Range.
“We’ve finally arrived! The journey was incredibly arduous!” Shen Feng and the City Lord’s guards expressed their relief and excitement as they gazed at the outline of Tian Shuang City. They poured out their grievances from the journey, recounting the unusual encounters with powerful beasts.
“In the past, such formidable beasts would stay within their territories, highly territorial and not roaming the Grand Thousand Mountain Range,” one guard remarked. “But the beasts we’ve encountered along the way were out of the ordinary. Without Daoist Jiang’s assistance, we would have struggled greatly.”
“Immortal, once we return to Tian Shuang City, I will ask my father to host a banquet in your honor,” Shen Feng promised, his gratitude evident.
Jiang Chengxuan smiled warmly, acknowledging their gratitude with a few polite words. Despite the challenging journey, he had finally reached Tian Shuang City. The grand and imposing sight of the city did not disappoint him, filling him with satisfaction and a sense of security.
Under Shen Feng’s eager guidance, Jiang Chengxuan and the group soon arrived at the city walls. With the City Lord’s token, Jiang Chengxuan was welcomed into the city without needing to say a word.
Inside Tian Shuang City, Jiang Chengxuan immediately noticed a stark contrast to Fei Xian City. The architecture was ancient and artistic, often featuring unique designs. Many halls were decorated with materials from fierce beasts, such as giant teeth and long tails, giving the city a wild and untamed aura.
The most prominent trade in Tian Shuang City was in exotic beast materials, along with finely crafted weapons and armor. Even Jiang Chengxuan found himself admiring some of the items on display.
The streets were bustling with cultivators, exuding a bold and unrestrained atmosphere as they discussed recent battles with various beasts. The city’s spirit was one of valor and combat, thriving under the dangerous conditions of the Grand Thousand Mountain Range.As they moved through the city, Jiang Chengxuan received countless curious glances due to the respect shown to him by the City Lord’s guards. Shen Feng and the two Hua Xian elders, Elder Xuan and Elder Tang, continued to introduce him to the city’s many facets.
Finally, they arrived at a massive estate constructed entirely from a type of black mystic stone, exuding an air of strength and seriousness. The multi-layered roofs resembled a giant clad in armor, towering over the city and even piercing through the second celestial canopy into another realm.
A tall black stone monument at the entrance bore the inscription “City Lord’s Mansion.”
“Please, Immortal,” Shen Feng, nearly home, invited Jiang Chengxuan with an excited expression. Jiang Chengxuan, smiling politely, allowed them to lead him inside.
As they entered the grand gates, the guards in the mansion began to cheer, spreading the news of Shen Feng’s return.
Moments later, a middle-aged man in a black and gold cloak strode out briskly. His presence was formidable, with a dignified and authoritative air, but his eyes shone with joy as he approached.
“Feng’er! Elder Tang, Elder Xuan, you’ve returned,” he greeted warmly.
“Father!” Shen Feng responded joyfully, while the two elders bowed respectfully, “Greetings, City Lord. We have fulfilled our mission.”
The City Lord’s guards knelt, calling out his name. This imposing man was undoubtedly the City Lord of Tian Shuang City. Jiang Chengxuan stood calmly, waiting for the father and son to finish their reunion.
“Feng’er, Elders, who might this be?” the City Lord finally asked, noticing Jiang Chengxuan’s poised demeanor. Sensing something extraordinary, he inquired further.
Shen Feng and the two elders animatedly introduced Jiang Chengxuan. After exchanging courtesies, the City Lord learned of Jiang Chengxuan’s deeds and expressed his gratitude.
“So, you’re my son’s savior. Thank you very much,” the City Lord said sincerely.
“It was nothing, really,” Jiang Chengxuan replied modestly.
Shortly after, Jiang Chengxuan was invited into the mansion. As they walked through the grand corridors, they arrived at a large hall where a banquet had been prepared to welcome Shen Feng. However, the City Lord decided to expand the banquet, inviting notable cultivators from Tian Shuang City to meet Jiang Chengxuan.
Despite feeling a bit overwhelmed by the grand reception, Jiang Chengxuan handled it with grace, mingling with the city’s influential figures. This event not only introduced him to many key individuals but also gave him a recognized status within the City Lord’s mansion.
The grand banquet lasted several days, during which Jiang Chengxuan firmly established his position in Tian Shuang City.
Days later, in the residence granted to him by the City Lord, Jiang Chengxuan was busy setting up protective formations. He couldn’t help but smile wryly at how his arrival had turned out so smoothly.
“Finally, it’s time to begin my seclusion,” he murmured with satisfaction, finishing the last of the protective arrays.
Jiang Chengxuan had already informed the City Lord of his intention to cultivate in seclusion. His new residence, strategically located on a secluded mountain peak, was perfect for this purpose. It was close to the city’s second celestial canopy, allowing him to observe its mystical phenomena and ensuring a high concentration of immortal energy and security.
“Let’s begin,” Jiang Chengxuan said, sitting cross-legged in his mountain cave, activating the spirit-gathering array. Instantly, the surrounding spiritual energy, accompanied by the starlight from the celestial canopy, began to converge around him.
His cultivation seclusion had officially commenced.
