Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 607 - Shock

Chapter 607: Chapter 607 Shock

Zhang Mushan’s words filled Wang Chen with a sense of déjà vu.

Even in different worlds, there are still many similar and interconnected things!

After pondering for a moment, he decisively took out a pile of Spirit Stones from the Sumeru Ring.

Zhang Mushan did not notice and was saying, “If you don’t have enough Spirit Stones, I’ll help you figure out a way to…”

The next moment, the burly Cultivator closed his mouth.

The Spirit Stones laid out before him were more than enough to cover the Apart Registry fee.

He had clearly underestimated Wang Chen’s strength.

“Big Brother Zhang,”

Wang Chen said, “Take these Spirit Stones for now, and if it’s not enough, let me know. I appreciate your help!”

With his current status as a non-registered individual, he couldn’t even touch the gates of the Immortal City, and getting a “temporary identity card” was even more difficult, so he had to rely on Zhang Mushan for help.

“It should be about enough.”

Zhang Mushan hadn’t expected Wang Chen to be so decisive, and biting his teeth, he said, “I’ll ask for you right now.”

With that, he took out a Jade Token from his Storage Bag.

Zhang Mushan stretched out his finger and tapped the Jade Token a few times, which then emitted a faint glow.

And then it produced a pleasant sound.

“Hello, is this Taoist Friend Ye?”

Holding the Jade Token to his ear, Zhang Mushan said, “I’m Zhang Mushan from Flying Catkins Camp, we’ve met before. I have a favor to ask of you…”

Damn!

Wang Chen’s head was buzzing, and he was beyond shocked!

Using high-tier magic artifacts to achieve communication over thousands or even tens of thousands of miles was not something strange.

But the conversation Zhang Mushan was having right now struck a chord with the memories sealed deep in Wang Chen’s heart.

He could hardly believe his eyes and ears.

He suspected he was hallucinating!

But Zhang Mushan’s voice continued to enter his ears clearly, “Then I’ll have to trouble you!”

After he finished speaking, he put away the Jade Token and smiled at Wang Chen, “It’s done.”

Wang Chen swallowed and couldn’t help asking, “Big Brother Zhang, what is this?”

“Are you asking about this?”

Zhang Mushan shook the Jade Token in his hand and explained, “This is the Thousand Miles Spirit Device that allows communication with others through the Spirit Web…”

According to Zhang Mushan, this “Thousand Miles Spirit Device” was a second-tier Spiritual Artifact that could call people who had left their mana imprint inside the Jade Token, as long as they were within a thousand miles.

The prerequisite was that the other party also had the same Spiritual Artifact and was within a region not isolated from the Spirit Web!

There are other Spirit Mechanisms of the same kind with higher tiers, like the Ten Thousand Miles Spirit Device which can cover much larger areas.

And they have more and stronger functions, even capable of “video” conversations!

Wang Chen went from shock to numbness.

This was basically a mobile phone!

It was just that the one in Zhang Mushan’s hand was clearly an old-fashioned model with very limited functionality.

The higher-end ones were like smartphones!

He suddenly realized that his past imagination and judgments about the Haotian Realm contained massive errors.

Concerning things like the Thousand Miles Spirit Device, which were virtually identical to mobile phones from his previous life, the Ninth Uncle of the Yin Family had never mentioned them.

If there were “mobile phones” and “mobile networks,” could the Haotian Realm also have the existence of “computers” and the “internet”?

At that moment, Wang Chen was very keen to visit the Immortal City.

If he thought about it carefully, there was actually no need for him to be so astonished.

You should know that the Haotian Realm is connected to countless worlds, and one of these worlds possesses a sci-tech civilization similar to Earth’s. It’s not impossible that products and concepts of technology were spread by people from that world after they arrived in the Haotian Realm!

Thinking this way, Wang Chen could completely accept it.

He suppressed the turmoil within his heart and asked, “How many Spirit Stones would a Thousand Miles Spirit Device like this cost?”

“For a brand-new one, you’d need five hundred Middle Spirit Stones,”

Zhang Mushan replied, “A second-hand one is quite a bit cheaper. I got this Thousand Miles Spirit Device through the cultivator who spoke earlier, for three hundred and seventy Middle Spirit Stones.”

Zhang Mushan told Wang Chen that this person was from the Flying Catkins Camp, currently residing in Yongle Immortal City and striving to obtain an Immortal Register.

Life in the Immortal City is not easy for those apart from any registry; the daily expenses are very high. Thus, that cultivator turned to being a broker, connecting and mediating for others, and over the course of a decade or so, established quite a network of connections.

Zhang Mushan had had a few dealings with him in the past, and the man’s reputation was quite good.

Therefore, this time he planned to use this person to obtain an Apart Registry for Wang Chen.

To solve Wang Chen’s biggest problem at the moment!

Zhang Mushan collected the Spirit Stones laid out on the table and said, “If all goes well, you could get your Apart Registry in no more than five days.”

However, Wang Chen’s attention was no longer on the Apart Registry or Immortal Register, “Big Brother Zhang, can you tell me about the Immortal City?”

“Of course.”

Zhang Mushan called his wife out to clean up the leftovers, then set up a tea stove and tea set.

As Zhang Mushan brewed tea and sipped it, he answered Wang Chen’s questions and resolved his doubts.

“Five lakes, six seas, seven mountains, Nine States under the heavens!”

The human race occupies the land of the Nine States, and aside from Cave Heaven Secret Realms and seclusive mountain gates, Immortal Cities of various sizes are scattered like stars across the sky.

Large Immortal Cities can accommodate tens of millions of people, governing territories within a hundred thousand li, and small Immortal Cities also host tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of cultivators, forming their own independent systems.

In some Immortal Cities, there’s one sect, one school, one city; in others, one family, one clan, one city!

But most Immortal Cities are established by a few or even dozens of Immortal Clans together.

For example, the Yongle Immortal City, to which the Flying Catkins Camp is attached, is controlled jointly by seventeen Immortal Clans.

There are both alliances and hostilities between Immortal Cities, and wars break out as routinely as meals are eaten.

However, the Nine States as a whole is still relatively peaceful, as for thousands of years, humankind has consistently faced challenges from the Monster Race.

The territory claimed by the Monster Race is far more vast than the Nine States, the number of Monster Beasts incalculable, and Spirit Monsters and Great Monsters abound, posing a constant and significant threat to humankind!

Speaking of Immortal Cities, we must mention the Nine States Immortal Alliance.

The Nine States Immortal Alliance, composed of hundreds of Immortal Gates and tens of thousands of Immortal Clans, is one of the largest forces in the Haotian Realm. Within the alliance reside Integration True Venerables, and Divinity Transformation True Monarchs number in the hundreds.

Many of the rules of the Nine States’ human race are established by the Nine States Immortal Alliance.

Such as the Apart Registry and Immortal Register.

So once Wang Chen obtains the Apart Registry of Yongle Immortal City, his identity will be acknowledged by all the Immortal Cities, Immortal Gates, and Immortal Clans within the Nine States Immortal Alliance.

No longer will he be a despised and lowly stateless person!

“Don’t worry,”

Zhang Mushan finally said to Wang Chen, “I’ll urge them to sort it out for you as quickly as possible.”

That night, Wang Chen and Zhang Mushan talked until the early hours of the morning.

Zhang Mushan spared no details, providing Wang Chen with a comprehensive understanding of the Haotian Realm.

It was truly enlightening!

And Zhang Mushan’s assurances were not in vain.

Four days later, Wang Chen obtained a Legal Pact for entry and an Identity Plaque that represented the status of a Loose Cultivator.

The issue of being stateless was finally resolved.
