Chapter 966: Chapter 966 Jade Emperor City
The tavern wasn’t big, but it was crowded!
Moreover, they were all cultivators, and it seemed that this city wasn’t very powerful, with most being at the Crossing Tribulation or Great Achievement stage, with just one or two at the True Immortal level.
No Earth Immortals were seen in the tavern.
He guessed there must be some in the city.
The two of them entered the tavern and found a spot in the corner to sit down. As soon as he sat down, Jiang Xiaobai’s face broke into a smile.
He had overheard some news.
“Recently, a secret realm appeared near Jade Emperor City, and it seems to be a cultivation secret realm!”
“Really? How could Jade Emperor City have a secret realm? What a barren place!”
“You know nothing! Do you even understand why it’s barren? It’s because there are some super powerful areas that are crazily absorbing spiritual qi. The spiritual qi near Jade Emperor City used to be very thin, but now it’s gotten a lot denser.”
As someone mentioned the secret realm near Jade Emperor City, the discussion started to heat up.
Jiang Xiaobai realized that secret realms also absorbed the spiritual qi of heaven and earth, especially those for cultivation.
He couldn’t contain his curiosity since he had never heard that secret realms were categorized.
“Excuse me, brother, what is a cultivation secret realm?” Jiang Xiaobai leaned over to someone nearby and asked.
That person looked at Jiang Xiaobai as if he were an idiot, “You don’t even know this?”
“Hehe, I really don’t. I come from a small place and was actually planning to go to Jade Emperor City to see if I could join a faction.”
Jiang Xiaobai gave a simple and honest smile, taking out ten mid-grade immortal stones.
Seeing the immortal stones, the man nodded and smiled, “You’re not bad, kid. You know how to get along. Ten mid-grade immortal stones is neither too many nor too few.”
“It’s enough for a drink,” Jiang Xiaobai chuckled.
“Seeing that you’re quite slick in dealing with people, I’ll enlighten this country bumpkin!”
The man pocketed the immortal stones, and his expression turned smug, “I don’t know which backwater hole you crawled out of, but anyway, secret realms are of two types: one for cultivation and the other for trials.”
“Cultivation secret realms also vary. Some contain abundant spiritual qi, even immortal qi! They’re suitable for cultivation. However, most of these are controlled by major powers, specifically used for training their disciples.”
“Other cultivation secret realms might be relics of powerful entities or sects from tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years ago, containing terrifying spirit gathering arrays that condense spiritual qi at an extremely fast rate, making the qi dense.”
“There are also those with numerous heavenly and earthly treasures, or the likes of abnormal immortal’s cave dwellings… However, cultivation secret realms are rare, and whenever they appear, they’re fiercely contended for by various factions.”
The man spoke and took a swig of his drink, “Trial secret realms are quite special, filled with great dangers, even unfit for exploration and development, but those who succeed will definitely gain many opportunities.”
“But for trash like us, we can forget about it. It’d be good enough if we had the chance to enter a cultivation secret realm. Heading into a trial secret realm would just be seeking death. Without enough strength, going in would be delivering our heads on a platter.”
Jiang Xiaobai kept nodding, looking extremely naive and honest while mentally gathering quite a bit of information.
He had previously heard of secret realms, but he never expected that the world of Sword Scar Continent would categorize them so meticulously.
It had to be said that top-tier worlds were different from other worlds.
Jiang Xiaobai continued to chat with the man, seeming to hit it off well, and the man revealed another piece of information, “The cultivation secret realm of Jade Emperor City has only recently been discovered, and now it has caught the attention of many powers. Plans are being made to organize a group to go in and explore.”
“Little brother, this is one of the rare opportunities for us practitioners with no power and no backing to enter a cultivation secret realm and see the world. Do you plan to go and have a look?”
Go have a look?
Of course, Jiang Xiaobai intended to go. He had come to the top-tier world precisely to gain resources and improve his realm.
True Immortal Great Perfection no longer cut it.
“So, big brother, do you have connections?” Jiang Xiaobai asked curiously.

“Of course, I have a brother who has some clout in Jade Emperor City. He just told me yesterday, and I was planning to go see him this afternoon after finishing my drinks!”
The man smiled at Jiang Xiaobai, “Together? Give me a thousand medium-grade spirit stones, and I’ll see if I can clear the way for you and maybe get you a spot.”
“A spot for a thousand? But there are two of us!” Jiang Xiaobai exclaimed in surprise.
“Then there’s nothing I can do, that’s the going rate.”
“Well… let me think about it, but since big brother is going to Jade Emperor City, why not take your little brother with you?” Without giving away his emotions, Jiang Xiaobai silently handed over more than ten medium-grade spirit stones.
Seeing the money, the other party immediately agreed cheerfully.
Before long, the three of them really left the small tavern and headed for Jade Emperor City.
Along the way, they chatted quite a bit, and Jiang Xiaobai learned that the man’s name was He Cailiang, and his brother in Jade Emperor City was his sworn elder brother.
He was said to have some status, but the exact nature of it was unknown.
After all, He Cailiang was only a Great Achievement realm cultivator.
Jiang Xiaobai and Qiongyu, on the other hand, were powerful, capable of greatly suppressing their cultivation. They were only displaying the initial stage of Great Achievement.
Playing dumb, who doesn’t know how to do that!
Playing dumb when first arriving is the best strategy. Going high-profile right away is no different from seeking death, is it?
In less than half a day, the three of them arrived at Jade Emperor City by early evening.
What Jiang Xiaobai didn’t expect was that entering the city actually required a fee!
One medium-grade spirit stone per person, and if you gave ten medium-grade spirit stones, you would receive a token that allowed you to come and go as you pleased, permanently.
He Cailiang possessed such a token, and Jiang Xiaobai and the other person didn’t make a fuss; they simply paid the entrance fee and went in.
“This city is bigger than the last,” Jiang Xiaobai murmured.
Such a large city, placed in some Middle Three Thousand or even Upper Three Thousand worlds, would be the presence of a super main city.
But in the Sword Scar Continent, it was considered a minor city, and according to He Cailiang, at most there would be only one Earth Immortal in charge!
“How big must the real big cities be?” Jiang Xiaobai wondered aloud.
He Cailiang chuckled softly beside him, “The real huge cities, they’re beyond what you could imagine, country bumpkin. Enjoy getting to see the world.”
He Cailiang had just finished speaking when he accidentally bumped into a burly man.
The burly man’s eyes immediately widened with anger, and he grabbed He Cailiang’s clothes, “Are you looking for death? Can’t you see where you’re going? Seeking death, huh?”
With the aura of a late Great Achievement realm cultivator on full display, He Cailiang’s face turned pale.
“Big brother, big brother, I’m really sorry, I wasn’t paying attention just now.”
“If apologies worked, what would I need cultivation for?”
The burly man snorted coldly and stomped on He Cailiang, pinning him to the ground, “Give your grandpa here a hundred medium-grade spirit stones, and we’ll call it even. Otherwise, even though we can’t fight in this city, I have ways to drag you out and finish you off!”
Hearing the burly man’s demand, He Cailiang was taken aback.
“Big brother, I’ve just got here, I really don’t have the money. Could we negotiate a bit?”
He Cailiang looked utterly embarrassed, nowhere close to his earlier swagger while lecturing Jiang Xiaobai?
