189: Chapter 189: The Prodigies Gather in Sihai City

Wang Bin rode non-stop, neither lingering in White Cloud City nor going to West Sea City to find Du Juan.

He took out his identity token and went straight to the inner city of West Sea City.

Soon, he found the hall where the teleportation Formation was located in West Sea City, and saw only two Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators on guard at the entrance.

"Greetings, Junior Martial Uncle, this Disciple is Chu Yuan from the Outer Affairs Hall.

If you wish to use the teleportation Formation, please present your pass from the Outer Affairs Hall!"

Wang Bin didn't want to go to the Outer Affairs Hall to apply; that would be too troublesome. He directly pulled out the Four Seas Commerce League member token that Elder Li had given him.

Chu Yuan merely glanced at it and didn't bother with further inspection. Although West Sea City was the Chu Family's territory, they still had to obey in front of the Four Seas Commerce League.

"Junior Martial Uncle, including you, there are already six people in the teleportation hall.

The teleportation fee for each person is one thousand Medium Grade Spirit Stones. Once ten people are gathered, the teleportation Formation can be activated."

Wang Bin nodded, counted out one thousand Medium Grade Spirit Stones, and handed them over.

Walking into the teleportation hall, there were already four Golden Core Stage Cultivators and one Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator waiting inside.

The others merely looked up at Wang Bin, then continued to close their eyes and rest. Wang Bin didn't recognize anyone.

Inside the main hall, there was also a smaller hall. Wang Bin guessed that was likely the location of the teleportation Formation.

He vaguely sensed the aura of a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator and a Golden Core Stage Cultivator inside, presumably the guardians of the teleportation Formation.

Wang Bin didn't have to wait too long; in less than an hour, all ten people had arrived.

Everyone walked into the smaller hall inside, and saw a Golden Core Stage Cultivator standing beside the teleportation Formation, while the room behind him still emanated the aura of a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator.

"Everyone, this is the teleportation token. Please hold onto it tightly.

Should anything unforeseen happen with the teleportation Formation, just crush this token. It will form a shield that can temporarily resist spatial turbulence, giving you a glimmer of hope.

Of course, this is just a formality; the teleportation Formation hasn't had an incident in several hundred years.

Once you arrive on the other side, just hand the token to the teleportation attendant in Four Seas City."

Wang Bin took the teleportation token, glanced at it, and then gripped it tightly in his hand.

The entire teleportation Formation had six corners, and each corner had a groove, with a High-Grade Spirit Stone inlaid in each, which was presumably the energy source for the teleportation Formation.

As for the other runes on the Formation, Wang Bin was completely ignorant; without a Formation diagram, building a teleportation Formation would be a pipe dream.

With a shout of "Rise," the teleportation Formation activated.

Wang Bin only felt his body enveloped by an invisible force, and the scenery before his eyes instantly shifted, placing him within a passage.

The power of space, like an invisible hand, pulled his body rapidly through the spatial passage.

He felt as if he was in a bizarre world of shifting light, with light flowing around him and blurry, indistinct scenery.

His body occasionally experienced slight weightlessness, and at times was pulled.

His Divine Sense was confined within this small space. This feeling was quite peculiar, but at the same time, Wang Bin felt a hint of fear; it was too insecure.

However, seeing the other Cultivators looking calm, as if accustomed to it, his heart gradually settled down.

After a dozen breaths, Wang Bin felt his body suddenly lose all weight, and the scenery before him changed again.

The ten of them appeared on a massive plaza, surrounded by four such teleportation Formations.

From a large hall beside the plaza, a heart-pounding aura emanated.

Wang Bin's heart jolted; this was definitely the aura of a Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator!

This was his first time experiencing the pressure of a Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator up close, and it was truly terrifying.

Wang Bin followed the others, handed his teleportation token to the attendant there, and then, somewhat bewildered, walked out of the teleportation area.

For a moment, he was disoriented, completely unsure of where to go.

Wait!

Wang Bin suddenly noticed a strange phenomenon: there wasn't a single Mortal in sight.

Just as he was at a loss, a voice sounded in his ear.

"Senior, I am Xiao Sanzi.

Is this your first time in Four Seas City? I grew up in West Sea City and know the city's situation like the back of my hand.

If you have any questions, just ask me. You only need to give me one hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones per day.

And if you think I do well, a tip would, of course, be even better!"

A young Qi Refining Stage Third Layer Cultivator suddenly appeared before Wang Bin, offering his services.

"Oh! Spirit Stones are not an issue. Let me ask first, why are there no Mortals in Four Seas City?"

Wang Bin understood this kind of 'guide' role; there weren't many ways for Qi Refining Stage Cultivators to earn Spirit Stones, especially those in the Early Stages of Qi Refining.

However, this Xiao Sanzi's fee seemed a bit high.

"Senior, Four Seas City has a rule that Mortals are not allowed inside.

Children born to Cultivators within the city, if they don't test positive for Spiritual Root after six years old, will also be sent out of the city!"

Wang Bin nodded after hearing this; it had nothing to do with him.

He directly pulled out a Medium Grade Spirit Stone and tossed it to Xiao Sanzi.

"Come, briefly tell me about the rules of Four Seas City, and any major events that have happened recently."

Xiao Sanzi joyfully took the Spirit Stone and skillfully put it into his Storage Pouch at his waist.

"Four Seas City is the headquarters of the Four Seas Commerce League, and experts gather here like clouds.

The most powerful families are the Li Family and the Zuo Family, both of whom have Soul Transformation Stage Cultivators overseeing them.

If you encounter anyone from these two families, you absolutely must not get into a conflict.

Also, no Sword Cultivators are allowed to fly below the Golden Core Stage, and fighting is strictly prohibited within the city.

Other than that, there's nothing particularly special.

As for major events, Senior, you've come here, presumably for this, right!

Recently, the once-in-a-century School Golden Core Grand Competition is about to begin.

Cultivators from all over the Four Seas Commerce League's jurisdiction are rushing to Four Seas City to watch the excitement.

This Golden Core Grand Competition will have many Prodigy Cultivators participating.

Chu Qingluan, the Prodigy from West Sea City, Immortal Master Qingluan, is said to have the Qingluan Body. When she uses fire Spells, it's truly magnificent.

There's also Immortal Master Liu Yiyi, the Soul-Snatching Immortal Master, who is rumored to have the Yin Sunflower Charming Body. One glance from her, and men can't resist; the fragrance on her body makes men dizzy with a single sniff.

Situ Qingqing from North Sea City, a Golden Core Middle Stage Cultivator, possesses a single-attribute Ice Spiritual Root and is known as Immortal Master Hanbing.

It's said that in East Sea City, she used only a simple ice Spell to instantly kill a Golden Core Demon Kings.

Wang Fengtian from South Sea City, only seventy-seven years old this year, is already in the Golden Core Late Stage, with hopes of forming a Nascent Soul within a hundred years.

He possesses the Giant Ape Bloodline and is known as Immortal Master Giant Ape. He specializes in Body Refining, and it's said that ordinary Magic Treasures cannot break through his Physical Body's defense.

The Wang Family is a Soul Transformation Stage Family that has always existed in South Sea City. Basically, every two hundred years, a clan member with the Giant Ape Bloodline will be born.

The Prodigy sent from East Sea City is Zhang Fei. He is exactly eighty years old this year, able to participate in this Grand Competition, and has already reached Golden Core Perfection.

He is a major favorite to win the championship. It's said that their Zhang Family has a unique Cultivation Technique called the Blood Sea Scripture, which specializes in Cultivating blood.

Cultivating it requires a large amount of fresh blood, so they have been slaughtering Yao Beasts in the ocean, causing continuous warfare in East Sea City.

The Yao Beasts in the ocean regard the Zhang Family as the Demon Race, and Zhang Fei has thus earned the title of Immortal Master Blood Demon.

However, although the Blood Sea Scripture Cultivates quickly, it overdraws one's lifespan, so the lifespan of Zhang Family Cultivators is only half that of normal Cultivators.

Finally, there are the Prodigies from our Four Seas City. Zuo Wentian from the Zuo Family of Four Seas City, although his reputation is not very good, he possesses the Pure Yang Body and practices both Dao and Body Dual Cultivation. He is also in the Golden Core Middle Stage and is extremely formidable in combat, known as Immortal Master Pure Yang.

The Li Family, as the leading Family of the Four Seas Commerce League, is also the only Sword Cultivator Family.

Young Master Li Sh兵 is only fifty years old and is already in the Golden Core Early Stage. It is said that his comprehension of Sword Intent has reached the pinnacle.

He must have formed a High Grade Golden Core, and there are even rumors that he might have formed a Sword-shaped Golden Core, giving him great hope of reaching Soul Transformation in the future.

In East Sea City, he split a Golden Core Fish Yao into two with a single sword strike, earning him the title of Immortal Master One-Sword."
