Chapter 0147 Chaos City(1/2)
Chaos City is a giant square city with three complete walls.
It stretches thousands of miles from north to south and is larger than a province in Xiao Ran's previous life, with a population of 300 million.
It is divided into three inner and outer cities. The outer city is the agricultural area, the middle city is the commercial area, and the inner city is the aristocratic area.
The outer city wall is one hundred feet high, the middle city wall is three hundred and thirty-three feet high, and the inner city wall is one thousand feet high.
Chaos City originally only had an inner city of a hundred miles. It was built 10,000 years ago at the beginning of the Age of Ending Law, led by the Qinglan Sect, the largest sect of the Righteous Path, and joined by hundreds of nearby small sects, as the last fortress of mankind.
As a result, halfway through the construction, it was suddenly discovered that the process of the End of Dharma Era was not as fast as expected. Afterwards, the city was re-planned and the middle city and outer city were expanded.
Because it is located in a dark forest where ghosts often appear, Chaos City has slowly transformed from a closed fortress into a gathering place for ghost hunters.
And because it was located at the geographical center of the other four major powers, it soon became a distribution center for commercial supplies.
Chaos City has strong economic strength and directly ranks among the five major forces as a single city.
If the cultivation world counts GDP, the total GDP of Chaos City is higher than that of the Dao League headquarters.
This is all the information Xiao Ran has learned about Chaos City in the past three years.
Theoretical knowledge is cold.
When Xiao Ran came to the outside of Chaos City and saw the thousands-foot-high walls stacked up with his own eyes, he was still shocked by the power of human beings.
It was just getting dark at this time.
Xiao Ran sat in the water droplet of Murong Yu and walked outside Chaos City. The water droplet turned into a boat shape.
Xiao Ran and Murong Yu stood at the bow of the boat, both figures raised their heads and stared at each other, as still as still water.
Under the cover of night, an array of golden light as thin as cicada wings covered the entire city, like an artificial sky.
Under the golden light, the three-story high wall is like the wall of the sky, one layer after another, stepping into the sky.
The top floor is in the clouds, and there is no distant view, only a faint gleam hanging high in the night sky.
The middle layer shines brightly, hanging in the night sky, like a floating fairy city, giving it an extremely ethereal fairyland and mythical feel.
In the entire Chaos City, only the four gates in the outer city and the free teleportation array in the inner city are connected to the outside world.
Xiao Ran and Murong Yu took the south gate.
A large number of people entering the city gathered outside the city.
But the south gate is very large, with three huge golden arched entrances, leading to the outer city, middle city and inner city respectively.
We entered one by one and it didn't feel crowded at all.
In addition to the golden formation that automatically detects the identity of those who enter the city, there are several Yuanying monks and a dozen Jindan monks stationed at each entrance.
Chaos City protected the privacy of its visitors and did not publicize the arrival of the two geniuses. Only a few Nascent Soul monks stationed outside the door bowed to the two and welcomed them into the city. There was no special ceremony.
After all, Chaos City is only the venue for the Prodigy Conference, and the Dao Alliance headquarters is the organizer.
But the monks guarding the gate were a little surprised.
The two geniuses actually entered the city together. Could it be that they have a good personal relationship? Or have they already formed an alliance in advance?
"Do you need someone to show you the way?"
The leader of the Yuanying monks asked respectfully.
"No need, thank you."
Murong Yu's voice was clear, polite but cold.
Xiao Ran didn't say anything and followed Murong Yu into the archway leading to the middle city.
The arched passage is about a hundred feet long and can only be walked.
The vault is engraved with complex spiritual patterns, and layers of inspection formations are illuminated downwards.
Xiao Ran took a look at the details of the spirit pattern, mainly to test three special situations.
Those wanted by the Dao League are not allowed to enter the city.
Those who carry living persons under prohibited laws are not allowed to enter the city.
Those who carry living ghosts under forbidden laws are not allowed to enter the city.
Can I still carry a living Nether?
Xiao Ran's three views were refreshed.
The array covers single-line inspection intersections.
Xiao Ran followed Murong Yu and walked into the same road.
There were a lot of people along the way, and almost everyone was close to each other. This feeling was the same as going to the train station to check in and enter the city in the previous life. Xiao Ran's fantasy of a fairy city was knocked out of the world with a stick: wake up, this is the end of the Dharma era.
Followed behind Murong Yu, staying very close.
A stream of white clothes fell down like a waterfall, her hair was tied into a bun showing a hint of stubbornness, and her neck was white.
There is no extraneous smell on the body, only the refreshing skin smell that comes from immortals.
Viewed from the back, she has an extremely slim figure, but her hips are unexpectedly wider than her shoulders, supporting her white clothes and giving her a sense of twisting, which adds to her agility.
The slim waist on the left is equipped with a seemingly ordinary disciple sword, which is similar to Xiao Ran's natal sword - it is definitely not an ordinary sword.
His whole body is filled with stubbornness and cleverness. What is stubborn is his Dao heart, and what is clever is his outer appearance.
To be honest, this kind of temperament has nothing to do with femininity, but Xiao Ran still saw the hint of a living fairy in the shape of her hips that surpassed her shoulders.
This kind of woman looks dull, but if she fights and kills her, and has a fierce battle of superiority and life and death, it will be very interesting.
Xiao Ran walked smoothly behind Murong Yu.
It was not until he exited the city entrance arch that Murong Yu was sure that the dark bird was indeed not on Xiao Ran, otherwise he would not be able to pass the combined-level formation test.
"When you first come to Chaos City, you should stare at the surrounding terrain instead of staring at people, otherwise you will easily get lost."
Murong Yu saw at a glance that it was Xiao Ran's first time coming to Chaos City, and reminded him indifferently.
Xiao Ran nodded without changing his expression.
"oh."
People around me cast unkind looks.
Murong Yu is quite famous in the world of cultivation. Xiao Ran has heard of her name before, and many people also know her appearance.
But no one knows that Xiao Ran is Xiao Ran.
I just feel like a little Qi-refining follower.
Xiao Ran could tell from the looks in these people's eyes that there were quite a few fans of Murong Yu, but most of them were very civilized and just looked at them without saying anything.
He was the only one with an ethereal and fearless look in his eyes, looking at other people's figures with an artistic eye.
Who said we are a book painter?
Observation is a basic skill.
Pass through the golden giant arch and arrive in mid-air inside Chaos City.
There is no fixed route ahead, but if you choose the middle city as your destination, you cannot land in the outer city.
The outer city is very dark, mostly forests, lakes and wastelands. It mainly exists as a strategic buffer or emergency farming. There are not many people actually farming in Chaos City. The food in the city is purchased from outside.
In addition, there are some sparse houses in the outer city. Common people or cultivators who have no money to buy a house in the middle city or inner city have no choice but to settle down and buy a house in the outer city.
Interestingly, there are quite a few cultivators who come to the outer city to fish with Yu Jian.
Even at night, there are people fishing at lakes, wetlands, rivers... with poles, and they are so leisurely that they don't look like humans in the Dharma Ending Age.
This is the sense of security that a huge city brings to people.
Xiao Ran and Murong Yu flew all the way to the outside of the middle city.
The entry detection here is very simple.
People from outside the city can enter the middle city without any hindrance. They basically step through a golden formation, verify their identity and pass.
Enter Midtown.
The city is huge.
great!
But inside the city, there were no row upon row of magnificent buildings as Xiao Ran had imagined before.
Except for a few tall landmark buildings that are more eye-catching, the shops on both sides of the ordinary streets are simple two- and three-story row houses.
The houses are arranged compactly and carefully, aiming to accommodate a larger population, and its urban atmosphere is actually stronger than that of an ordinary city.
Since the population of Midtown accounts for 70% of the total population of Chaos City, in order to maintain order, Midtown cannot fly at will, but has a fixed flight track and must land at a fixed location.
Xiao Ran sensed the master's position and led Murong Yu to a certain square in the West City.
Looking around, I suddenly felt like I was stepping on the earth.
Large and small spiritual beast mounts and flying magic weapons dragged bright lights in the air, gathered from all directions, and slowly stopped in the square.
