Chapter 1285: Chapter 1289: The City of Ten Thousand Miles

Zhu Minglang also came to realize that it wasn’t just these few suns existing within the Nine Heavens.

Other Sky Fields also have different suns taking their turns.

Some Sky Fields have ten suns.

Some Sky Fields have only one sun.

And the years of each of the great Sky Fields are also recorded by one specific sun.

In the Horizon of Juntian, the most ancient sun is the Golden Crow.

The number of years since the existence of the Golden Crow is the current year.

Before the Golden Crow, there were many other suns, each with their own names. However, the common people do not record the years of these older suns; only those deities who can live longer make an effort to study such ancient suns.

Of course, some worshippers who believe in a certain sun have their own methods of counting years.

For instance, The Church of the Red Sun calculates years based on the year the Red Sun first appeared. According to their method, this year is the forty-ninth year of the Red Sun!

Next year, it will be exactly fifty years.

Of course, if Zhu Minglang’s trip is successful, there will be no need for the Red Sun to celebrate its fiftieth grand birthday!

Most of the Sun God Churches are spontaneously organized by the folk, mainly groups that depend on different suns for spiritual essence. When some suns take their turn, they prosper like the sun at high noon; with others, their business is bleak…

As for the various branches of the Thirty Month Gods, it is even more complicated. Therefore, many people, whether conducting business, organizing weddings, or arranging funerals, need to choose an auspicious day, which actually has to do with the rotation of a particular Moon God.

The Heroic Moon Xian belongs to the War Immortals, and on the day she presides over, it is suitable for joining Sects, for apprenticeships, for sending troops to capture cities, for dragon taming…

Lucky and auspicious days are derived in this way.

Zhu Minglang has also carefully analyzed that if so many deities jointly hold the reins, indeed choosing a day related to a specific deity for a certain deed, success rate would be higher.

After all, deities have divine hearing. They do hear some of the prayers, rituals, and wishes from the mortals, and occasionally they would incarnate to bless their followers, which is nothing out of the ordinary. However, there are too many people in the world, too many voices, and too many believers, so deities often find themselves stretched thin…

It’s just that one might possibly win their favor, but the chances are actually quite small.

As the people around continuously studied this mysticism of suns and moons, Zhu Minglang himself started to believe it to some extent as well.

In order to help the Little Nine-tailed Dragon break through to the next Realm, the Divine Monarch Level, Zhu Minglang also chose an “auspicious and lucky day” and specifically offered tributes liked by the Moon God “who could help with breaking through Cultivation Base”.

After all the hassle, it did cost some money.

The offerings were the most luxurious set…with the most grandiose of worship ceremonies!

Ultimately, the Little Nine-tailed Dragon failed to advance to the Divine Dragon King!!

Although Zhu Minglang indeed was somewhat impatient, attempting to take a shortcut to advancement without gathering complete spiritual resources, based on his own Divine form, the success rate was supposed to be close to seventy to eighty percent.

Zhu Minglang just worried about hitting that twenty to thirty percent chance of failure, which was why he held a grand sacrifice ceremonial worship.

“Pah, all superstitious feudal beliefs, what bullshit Rainbow Moon God, even guaranteeing advancements and breakthroughs, if I ever see you again, I’ll beat you up every time!” Zhu Minglang cursed out loud.

But these sacrifices, they’re costly, you know!

The money went down the drain!

“Whimper~~~”

The Little Jiuwei wore a look of grievance.

After all, was it not easy reaching the upper position of Divine Dragon Lord? To advance earnestly to the Peak, then find the three types of Divine Roots with the spiritual resources needed to condense the dragon’s adornments, wouldn’t that ensure a stable entry into the Divine Dragon King?

Why insist on skipping levels?

Isn’t it fine to progress step by step?

“As a Dragon Shepherd like me, if I don’t let you skip levels, how can I demonstrate my professionalism and excellence?”

“Whimper~~”

Now that your cultivation base has regressed, what do you say?

“It’s alright, it’s alright, just sleep it off and you’ll recover, didn’t we agree that as long as the divine form is sufficiently high, there’s no possibility of failing to advance?”

“Whimper!!” The Little Nine-tailed Dragon rolled its eyes.

It’s only from the peak to the next level that one doesn’t fail, who ever heard of skipping from a high position over the peak, directly challenging the next tier?

“Okay okay okay, next time we’ll progress gradually.”

…

Spring warmth unfurled across the trees, blooming flowers adorned the woods like a palette of paints, the spiritual energy brought by Bi Huang filled the air with vigor and was harmless to all, many small Prime Spirits similar to spirit ginseng, mountain spirits, and celestial spirits would even actively seek out those with destiny, granting them an “unexpected encounter.”

Zhu Minglang also harvested many Prime Spirits and celestial beings, with God Dye Affinity, they ensured Zhu Minglang could maintain ample spiritual resources even without a penny to his name.

After again traversing thousands of miles, stepping across the Immortal Ocean, walking past Aura Snow Mountain, and experiencing the Infinite Sacred Ground, in the warmest time of spring, Zhu Minglang finally arrived at the Jun Tian Sky Capital!

This city, standing above the Divine Nine Province and the Three Heaven Temples, is divided into Cloud Heaven Above and Cloud Heaven Below.

Cloud Heaven Above is entirely a celestial state, also known as Cloud Sky Heaven Court, where countless True Gods have their palaces, divine courts, divine temples, some standing independently among the clouds, others stretching out like connected palaces… all are the dwelling places for True Gods.

In Cloud Heaven Below lies the City of Ten Thousand Miles, where mortals, cultivators, Loose Immortals, Little Gods, and great immortals all reside within the City of Ten Thousand Miles under Cloud Heaven!

This City of Ten Thousand Miles is extremely prosperous, becoming the very definition of Dragon Shepherd’s Kingdom. When Zhu Minglang stepped in, it felt not merely like a city or a capital, but as if he had inadvertently walked into an infinite world comprised of cities, towns, sects, gates, and churches, with no idea where the boundaries lay, nor any idea how many Human Cities and Immortal Mansions there were inside!

Inside the City of Ten Thousand Miles there are oceans, lakes, mountain ranges, snow ridges, celestial mountains, hills, plains, deserts…

A heavenly capital like a piece of the Star Continent itself!

In any case, the land occupied by the heavenly capital far surpasses that of the entire Supreme Court Courtyard Continent.

When Zhu Minglang was cultivating, he also crossed the Supreme Court, but the parts of the Supreme Court Continent that truly had people and cities did not even make up one percent. Most of the area was the desolate wilderness of mountains and plains.

But this heavenly capital is not like that.

The entire City of Ten Thousand Miles hosts at least a hundred cities no less prosperous than Xuange Country Capital, and between these cities lie countless sects, clans, Spirit Towns, Immortal’s Houses, Human Cities…

In Zhu Minglang’s view, even if one were to spend a hundred years exploring the City of Ten Thousand Miles without cease, it would be difficult to step into the same streets twice!

Omnipresent and vast, with an incalculable number of citizens and deities!

Zhu Minglang was deeply shocked by such a sight!

A land of deities, a land of Dragon Shepherds, an endlessly vibrant and inexhaustible heavenly capital!!

So, although he had arrived at the City of Ten Thousand Miles, Zhu Minglang was still far from his intended destination… overcoming one city after another would require a long time!

“You’re going to the Southern Heavenly Palace, eh? Head for South Mountain Sea first. The celestial isles atop South Mountain Sea belong to the Southern Heavenly Palace Immortal Sect, and only through the Southern Heavenly Palace Immortal Sect can you step into the Southern Heavenly Palace Above Cloud Heaven,” a fellow daoist provided Zhu Minglang with guidance on his path.

“Okay, thank you, brother daoist,” said Zhu Minglang.

“No need for thanks, better hurry or you’ll miss the Immortal Sect Sacred Meeting,” the fellow daoist mentioned.
