Chapter 1293: Divine Eagle City

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Many Divine Boats’ gates opened, and groups of martial artists appeared. Their auras were no weaker than An Wu and the others. There were a few thousand of them at least; some of their auras were even stronger than An Ying’s.

“Hmph!”

An Ying’s snort rang out as he brought a dozen-odd men and brazenly dashed out. He stopped in mid-air, swept a glance, and said, “You guys dare to stop a Divine Boat of the Earth Emanations Pavilion? Are you guys tired of living?”

“Oh my, it’s the Earth Emanations Army!”

Many of the god bandits saw the insignia on An Ying and company’s chests as their eyes narrowed. The leader of the divine bandit armed group smiled as he said, “I see, it is the Earth Emanations Army. We have failed to recognize such formidable persons as yourselves; forgive us! Brothers, let’s retreat.”

“Retreat?”

An Ying smiled mockingly and said, “You guys want to leave just like that after stopping us? Do you believe that I will report you guys, and our army will come and slaughter all of you in a few days?”

An Ying’s words shook Jiang Yi and everyone else. Was An Ying’s brain damaged? There were only a dozen-odd of them while the enemy had a few thousands; the latter was also pretty strong. If An Ying pissed off this group of god bandits, Jiang Yi and company would be implicated and would be slaughtered as well.

“Haha, this group of imbeciles is going to have to pay heavily.”

He Wei laughed faintly as he said, “In the Earth Emanations Domain, no one dares to mess around with the Earth Emanations Pavilion, the Demon-Killing Pavilion, and the Battle God Pavilion. Unless the enemy could flee the Earth Emanations Domain at will—if they killed even one member of the Earth Emanations Pavilion, all of them would die. An Ying and others had actually not inscribed the Earth Emanations Army’s signal on this Divine Boat; they were obviously baiting these god bandits…”

As expected!

The leader of the bandits laughed bitterly and asked, “My Lord, what do you want then?”

An Ying stretched out one hand and said indifferently, “Hand over a thousand divine roots, and we will call it quits. If not, hmph!”

“A thousand?”

Jiang Yi and the Black Deity exchanged a look; they were shocked. A thousand divine roots meant a thousand divine artifacts; what a lucrative deal!

“My Lord, could you reduce the amount? We have a hard time making a living. Could you show some mercy? How about five hundred?”

The leader of the god bandits said begrudgingly. However, An Ying and company immediately turned with the intention of flying back to their Divine Boat. The leader grew anxious, gritted his teeth, and said, “Alright, then. You drove a hard bargain. Take it. Brothers, let’s retreat!”

Swish!

A ring was thrown over, and An Ying grabbed it and scanned it. His face then revealed a sliver of a smile. He brought everyone and flew back into the Divine Boat. He looked coldly at everyone present and said, “No one is allowed to spread what happened just now. If not, you will definitely regret it.”

Everyone hurriedly nodded. An Ying and the others entered the front cabin, with one of them staying behind to say, “In half a day, we will reach Divine Eagle City. From now on, you all will become part of the Divine Eagle City. You all can choose to enter our Earth Emanations Pavilion so that you can become part of the Earth Emanations Army someday. Alternatively, you can also choose to enter the Demon-Killing Pavilion or the Battle God Pavilion. Of course, you can also choose to traverse this domain freely like those god bandits. You will know more when you get to Divine Eagle City so that you can make a decision on your own.”

After this man had also entered the front cabin, the entire Divine Boat lit up with excited conversations. Everyone was discussing which of the three they were going to choose. Jiang Yi listened and realized that a majority of them wanted to enter the Earth Emanations Pavilion and become part of the Earth Emanations Army in the future. An Ying and company’s antics just now had made everyone more biased towards the Earth Emanations Army.

He Wei, however, shook his head gently and said, “A bunch of imbeciles. Indeed, the Earth Emanations Pavilion is in a geographically advantageous position while it also recruits the most number of people. However, only one in ten thousand can join the Earth Emanations Army. Many end up becoming ordinary servants, doing miscellaneous chores, and the hardest back-breaking work. They also cannot get any resources…”

Jiang Yi looked at He Wei and asked curiously, “Aren’t you going to try to persuade a few more to join you?”

He Wei twitched his lips and said, “They are all useless; what is the point in recruiting them? Out of the near-thousand people here—besides you and me, the youngest is more than a hundred years old! I had managed to ascend when I was forty-three. These people are all worse than me; it is very hard for them to enter the Demon-Killing Pavilion…”

Jiang Yi became silent as he stopped engaging He Wei. With the situation unclear, Jiang Yi was not going to completely believe everything He Wei was saying now. He would make a decision after reaching Divine Eagle City. He took a look at the Black Deity, saw that he was already fine, and then closed his eyes to continue cultivating.

A day had passed; that meant that three months had passed in the Lower Domain. Jiang Yi’s cultivation speed had increased a hundred-fold. He had already accumulated a few heavenly powers in his divine core now. However, his divine core was very huge. If Jiang Yi wanted to fill it—even at this speed, it would take him three to five years… three to five Higher Domain-years.

After congealing his divine body, Jiang Yi realized that he almost never felt hungry. He did not have to eat or drink at all, and his body could be at its optimum when cultivating. The Black Deity was a demonic beast, and his body was very strong. He could go without food or drink for a few years without any problems. Furthermore, the Black Deity had the spirit herbs from the Endless Deep Sea; Jiang Yi did not have to worry about him.

After cultivating for a long time…

With the blink of an eye, half a Higher Domain-day passed. Jiang Yi was woken by He Wei as he looked about and asked, “What’s happening?”

“Divine Eagle City is in front of us!”

He Wei was full of excitement as he pointed in front of him and said. Jiang Yi looked to the front and was stunned. He had indeed seen a huge city in front of him that was large beyond comparison. This city was also suspended in mid-air like the God Bestow City.

Suspension in mid-air was not a rare thing. What made Jiang Yi astounded was the size of that city. It was as if the huge castles had joined together. This city was probably ten-thousand times bigger than the Mystic Thearch City; Jiang Yi could not even see the two ends of it. All he could see was a piece of the city wall that was shining with golden light. The entire city was also enveloped in a golden shield; he could not see clearly anything inside it.

“Eh, there are so many villages down below…”

Jiang Yi’s gaze shifted downwards as he saw all sorts of buildings: castles, pavilions, wooden houses, and even forts. However, these buildings all seemed to be rather orderly laid out; they were split into four big regions.

“That is where we will be staying.”

He Wei watched at the city floating in mid-air as he sighed and said, “Ultra low-level martial artists like us are not qualified to enter the city. Only when we become official disciples of one of the three factions can we enter the city three days a month. If we become a Demon-Killing Battle King-equivalent, we can have our own castle within the city. That would truly be a status symbol…”

“It feels as if the commoners are below and the wealthy are based above!”

Jiang Yi scratched his nose as the Divine Boat hurriedly flew downwards and landed in a city plaza.

An Ying and company had all come out. An Ying looked at everyone and said, “Alright, we have arrived in the Divine Eagle City. Do you see the three castles ahead of you? The left is the Earth Emanations Pavilion, the middle is the Battle God Pavilion, and the right is the Demon-Killing Pavilion. You all can choose which faction you wish to join. However, you only have one chance; you cannot leave or change factions once you have decided. As for the benefits of joining each faction, go inside and find out yourselves. This is the Divine Eagle Tribe; no weapons can be used within the tribe either. If you guys have any grievances to settle, go outside to fight. Okay, our job is done. All of you can head down now.”

“Wow!”

The near-thousand men on the Divine Boat excitedly flew out of the Divine Boat as they sized up their surroundings. After everyone had flown out, the Divine Boat was kept by An Ying. An Ying and company also flew out and, under the envious gaze of many in the Divine Eagle tribe, shot up into the Divine Eagle City.

“Go, let’s go to the Earth Emanations Pavilion!”

The near-thousand men gathered together in twos and threes; some had already rushed towards the Earth Emanations Pavilion’s castle. Jiang Yi, however, stood dazed on the spot. He was still a little hesitant. An Ying had said that once the decision was made, one would be forever associated with that faction; there would be no way out.

Jiang Yi loved being unrestricted and free. If he joined one of the three factions and ended up being bound, life would be so meaningless. However, if he did not join one of the three, it would be hard for him to make a name for himself in the Earth Emanations Domain.

“Are you Young Master Wei?”

Just while Jiang Yi was deep in thought, an elder suddenly walked into the city plaza towards He Wei. He held a command token in his hand and said, “Commander He had received the news that you have arrived in Divine Eagle City. He asks for you to stay in this tribe first; he will arrive in one day.”

“En?”

Jiang Yi’s eyes flashed. He Wei’s father seemed to indeed have some influence and power. If he could help Jiang Yi in finding Jiang Xiaonu, what harm was there in him joining the Demon-Killing Pavilion?
