Void Cultivation-Chapter 207-
As soon as Grey arrived, he scanned the entire city with his divine sense. Moments later, the entire city layout was laid bare in his mind. And without a word, Grey descended. When Grey’s divine sense scanned the whole city, the old woman who was the City Lord and at the Perfected Level of Qi Accumulation suddenly shivered.
She opened her eyes and left her training to look at the sky. "Foundation Establishment! That divine sense can only belong to those who have transcended and entered the Foundation Establishment Realm," the old woman said and came out from her abode.
Even though Grey’s divine sense spread out to scan the city and did not reveal any ill intent, the power that a Foundation Establishment cultivator had in his hands was just too much.
Especially so if the other party had opened twenty-five nodes and had formed his first ball of Spirit Fire. Then, he was an existence that could terrorise the entire city and kill them all.
Of course, Grey did not have such ideas. But the old woman was used to being vigilant. Although she was only in the Qi Accumulation Realm, she had experienced a lot of things in life and knew that Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators were people that could not be trifled with.
With a complicated expression, the old woman floated up into the sky towards Grey. It was unknown which technique or art she used to do this. But the solemn expression on her face and her act of flying made it seem like she was a Foundation Establishment Realm expert.
Grey looked at this woman coldly. He could see clearly that she could not actually fly, but was using a strange art to summon a strange beast that could fly. This beast was invisible to the naked eye and could only be seen by those with divine sense or who possessed strong perception like Grey.
"Fellow Daoist, why do you come to this small city?" the old woman said with a solemn expression on her face. Her face became even more complicated when she felt the baleful aura coming from Grey. Clearly, he had killed someone recently.
Grey did not take offence and answered directly. "I need to use your teleportation station to go to Sky Mist City. If you do not mind, I would like to do that now," Grey said without any change in expression.
The old woman nodded and led Grey towards the teleportation station. Grey did not say anything and followed behind her. To the residents of the city, seeing their City Lord flying down with another unknown cultivator caused a storm to rage in their hearts.
Only one word was in their minds right now. "Expert!" Of course, Grey was an expert. Even though he was young, the aura of Foundation Establishment coming from him couldn’t be hidden.
Even though he tried his best to suppress his aura, it was still something that could be felt by all.
In the world of cultivation, there was a certain principle that said that cultivators could not fight across realms. That meant that Qi Accumulation Realm cultivators had no business fighting against Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.
And Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators had no business fighting against those who had formed their Spirit Fire.
This rule was simple and could not be breached. This was also why cultivators were so respectful towards those with higher cultivation than them. It was because of this unchangeable principle.
The old woman led Grey to the teleportation array before ordering the guards to prepare to send Grey to Sky Mist City’s main city.
During this time, Grey found an energy signature that was really close to forming the first ball of Spirit Fire. This energy signature was incredibly faint and undetectable. Grey felt this energy was far away, but not so far away that he could not arrive there in a very short moment.
At that moment, Grey realized that the old woman was not really the City Lord, but that the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator in the distance was the real City Lord.
As for why this was the case, Grey did not want to know. Neither did he probe. He only looked at the old woman with a strange expression before looking away.
Under his glance, the old woman’s body shuddered intensely, as if she was before a silent but fierce beast that could kill her in an instant. But Grey only looked at her once and did not look at her again. He focused instead on sensing the changes that happened to his body while waiting for the teleportation array to be set up.
When the time it takes for a candlestick to burn out passed, the teleportation array shone with a strange blue light before it was activated.
The moment it was activated, Grey cupped his fists and bowed. He then brought out a storage bag and gave it to the woman. But she rejected it, saying that it was an honor for them to have a Foundation Establishment expert among them.
Grey did not say anything. He only nodded at them before he left. But before his silhouette disappeared completely, he took a glance once more in the direction of the energy signature. Soon, he was teleported away from the city.
As soon as he disappeared, the tense atmosphere that had appeared when Grey arrived slowly dispersed. The old woman heaved a silent sigh of relief before looking at the spot where Grey disappeared.
"Did he figure it out?" A weird expression appeared on her face before she looked in the direction of where the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator was. From afar, only sand and more sand could be seen. But only a few knew that this small city had a protector in the Foundation Establishment Realm.
"Well, even if he knows, as long as he did not attack or show any ill intent, then I guess it is fine." The woman sighed once more. She closed her eyes, and when she opened them, they were full of determination.
"My meeting with a Foundation Establishment Realm expert has caused some epiphany to appear in my heart. Maybe I should prepare to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm. I’ve been stuck in the Qi Accumulation Realm for more than twenty years after all," the old woman mumbled before a resolute expression appeared on her face.
She then flew back to her abode and entered closed-door cultivation. There, she attempted to enter the Foundation Establishment Realm.
