Chapter 695 City of Eternal Life
As Melina led the Star Alliance fleet on its rapid journey, Lin Xiaohe in the Node World began to explore the three major cities.
After the three major cities failed in their first attempt to stop the Eastern Kingdom from entering the Dead City, they withdrew their fangs and closed their doors.
Lin Xiaohe arrived at the City Lord's Mansion of the City of the Dead.
The entire mansion is suspended on the cliff at the highest point of the dead city. The walls are made of solidified black mist, and stepping on them will cause dark ripples to appear.
As soon as Lin Xiaohe went up, Hei Wu became as obedient as a puppy, showing that he was quite sensible.
Deep within the city lord's mansion, a small mountain of documents was piled on a dark desk.
Lin Xiaohe sat down, and the case file moved automatically without any wind.
Lin Xiaohe's consciousness searched through the piles of information.
"found it!"
The relationship between the four cities is one of both partnership and competition.
Among them, the Lord of the City of Immortality had the closest relationship with the Lord of the City of the Dead.
Therefore, Lin Xiaohe found relevant information about the City of Immortality in the City of the Dead.
The source of crystals for the Dead City is through dungeons, where humans' emotions and lives are plundered.
The City of Immortality is different; they have their own cyclical system.
According to the personal records of the Lord of the City of the Dead, most of the City of Immortality is underground.
Very few of them are exposed above ground and in contact with the human world, such as the Kunlun Mountains, Ailao Mountains, and Changbai Mountains in the east.
The entire Immortal City is vast, with almost no end in sight, and is thousands of times larger than the City of the Dead.
The Lord of the City of the Dead was once invited to the center of the City of Immortality, a magnificent city built on a plain.
The management of Eternal City is the closest to the Underworld among the four major cities, and it is jokingly referred to as the "Little Underworld" by the four city lords.
The City of Eternal Life imitates the Underworld, establishing various departments of the Underworld in the outer layer, with a judge stationed in each department, each belonging to a different Yama Palace.
Further inside lies the settlement of ghost cultivators who have already achieved mastery of their skills, encompassing ghost cultivators of all ranks, the ten major ghost clans, and the entrance to the eighteen levels of hell.
The city lord governs the City of Immortality, and under him are eight Yama Kings.
The eight Yama Palaces are located in eight different locations within the city, towering high and overlooking the entire underworld, while also assisting in its rule.
Each King Yama has a large number of judges under his command, and the most powerful of these judges are called the Grand Judges.
The judge also has ghost officials, ghost messengers, and ghost soldiers under his command.
After visiting the City of the Dead, the city lord was so envious of the City of Eternal Life's management system that he couldn't help but drool. However, he didn't want to copy the City of Eternal Life, fearing that he would be laughed at by other city lords.
Therefore, when Wang Shuxiang appeared before him and talked at length about the reform and opening up, the city lord of the dead city was immediately moved.
"Hula."
A gust of wind blew in through the crack in the window, bringing a chill.
Lin Xiaohe's fingers were only lightly pressing down on that page of paper, and when the wind came, it immediately fluttered away.
Which way does the wind blow towards the dead city?
Lin Xiaohe went to the window and looked down at the entire city.
The lively people of the East Kingdom used the special abilities of the evolved beings to create the first supernatural blower.
If you replace the wind-powered evolver with an ice-element evolver, the blower will become a large central air conditioning unit.
In terms of how to improve the environment and raise people's living standards, the people of Donggu have always been far ahead.
"Aren't they cute?" Xinbao was often affectionately called Teacher Xinbao by the people of Dongguo, and without realizing it, she truly regarded these carbon-based humans as her students. Xiao Hei lay quietly at Lin Xiaohe's feet, listless.
The city was short of supplies, and Little Black was hungry.
Lin Xiaohe patted Xiao Hei's head and used her divine power to communicate with the bigwigs of the Eastern Kingdom, Meng Po, and Wang Shuxiang, informing them that she was going to the City of Eternal Life and asking them to protect the City of Death and not to cross the border unless absolutely necessary.
After confirming that there was nothing more to say, Lin Xiaohe, along with Xinbao and Xiaohei, set off alone for the City of Eternal Life.
According to the records of the Lord of the City of the Dead, if you fly 108,000 li from the west gate, you will encounter a winding river.
A golden arch bridge spans the river.
If someone is welcomed by the City of Immortality, they can cross the bridge smoothly; otherwise, they will fall into the river and perish, body and soul.
Lin Xiaohe, carrying the seal of the City Lord of the City of Death, was unsure whether she was someone the City of Eternal Life would welcome.
But anyway, I should give it a try.
In the underworld, the city lord's seal is a god-like existence.
Lin Xiaohe didn't even need to exert much effort; with just a thought, she appeared in front of the river in the blink of an eye.
This river is called the Bo River. No one knows where it comes from or where it goes.
The river is extremely wide and flows very slowly. The water is a deep blue color, like the reflection of a starry river that is breathing slowly. There are no waves on the surface of the water, only countless tiny points of light flickering between the ripples, as if billions of stars have been crushed and scattered into the river.
Less than ten steps away from Lin Xiaohe was a golden bridge that could only be passed by one person at a time.
The bridge has a simple and unadorned appearance, without any carvings or decorations.
The other end of the bridge was shrouded in mist, with the outline of a silent cluster of buildings barely visible.
"Sister, you just came back from the outer city too?" The female ghost cultivator with a red headscarf hugged Lin Xiaohe familiarly.
"My goodness, I finally saw a ghost! If it weren't for the civil service exam, I wouldn't have gone to explore the City of No Return. I almost didn't make it back!"
"By the way, sister, what's your name? My name is Lin Xiaohe."
Ok? !
Lin Xiaohe was shocked. "Your name is Lin Xiaohe, then who am I?"
Seeing Lin Xiaohe's bewildered expression, the female ghost seemed to understand something and burst into laughter: "Sister, you wouldn't happen to be named Lin Xiaohe too, would you?"
Lin Xiaohe nodded expressionlessly: "What a coincidence."
"Hahaha, ever since Lin Xiaohe successfully seized the position of Lord of the City of the Dead, eight out of ten people in our Eternal City have changed their names to Lin Xiaohe. If you enter the city, stand on the street, and shout 'Lin Xiaohe,' everyone on the street will turn their heads to look at you."
Lin Xiaohe didn't laugh; the feeling of having her name so common was just too bittersweet.
The female ghost cultivator's eyes flickered, and she said with great magnanimity, "Alright, sister, it's just a name. In our Eternal City, we don't recognize people by their names, we recognize them by their Soul Pearls. Come on, let's smell each other and become friends."
"Thanks for the invitation, but I won't smell it." Lin Xiaohe doesn't have a Soul Pearl, so why would she smell it?
"Tsk tsk, so she's a shy sister. Oh well, if I don't want to hear it, I don't want to hear it." The female ghost cultivator stepped onto the bridge first, waved her hand, and left without a trace.
That's how it is when humans and ghost cultivators meet: they bump into each other, exchange a few words, and then go their separate ways.
Lin Xiaohe followed closely onto the bridge. In the darkness, she felt a familiar eye open, a huge eyeball staring at her. The next second, the eye closed rapidly.
Lin Xiaohe chuckled. It seemed that this observational eye possessed its own survival wisdom, knowing when to open one eye and when to close the other.
After successfully crossing the bridge, Lin Xiaohe was greeted by an extremely lively scene.
People come and go, and there are vendors selling ghost artifacts and clothes everywhere. If you ignore their eerie and strange appearances, this place is similar to a bustling ancient city.
I'm taking a day off tomorrow. Xiao He won't waste too much energy on the three major cities; she'll try to resolve one city within ten chapters.
