Chapter 133

Jingyuetian was the largest spell cultivation sect in the Three Thousand Worlds. The city it controlled, Jingyue City, was also the second-largest city in the Western Realm. Located on the eastern side of the Western Realm, its closest neighbor was the Xue City under the Feng Alliance’s Xue Clan.

This was Meng Qi’s second visit to Jingyue City. Jingyue City had no walls or gates; the entire city stood proudly, showcasing the might of Jingyuetian. It was currently midday, and the streets were bustling with people coming and going. Regardless of residents of the city or cultivators from afar, everyone was wearing relaxed and happy smiles on their faces. Indeed, under the radiance of the number one spell sect in the Three Thousand Worlds, the people of Jingyue City led a prosperous and peaceful life.

Ji Wujiong walked beside Meng Qi with a slight smile on his lips. “Everything looks normal, but they are still on high alert. When you underwent your tribulation earlier, they should have sensed something, and the elders of the sect have already taken action,” he chuckled.

“I see,” Meng Qi made a thoughtful sound and nodded.

“By the way, do you know…” Ji Wujiong turned his head to look at Meng Qi as he spoke. His eyes flashed and fell on her profile. Meng Qi’s fair cheeks already showed three fine black lines, running from her ear to her smooth forehead. Although the black lines had not split open yet and were not as terrifying as the ones on his face, Meng Qi’s complexion was naturally fairer than his, and she was also a girl on top of that. Such wounds on her face must have impacted her much more than him.

But…

Ji Wujiong looked at the pair of calm and clear eyes, and a strange feeling flashed through his heart — while cultivators pursued only the Dao and cared less about appearances, she was, after all, a girl.

Tsk…

“What were you going to say?” Seeing him remain silent for a long time, Meng Qi became impatient. She turned to him and repeated, “Aren’t you going to tell me something?”

“Oh? Oh!” Ji Wujiong suddenly snapped back and continued, “Do you know about Beyond The Heaven?”

Meng Qi’s heart stirred, but she nodded calmly.

“Beyond The Heaven is a special place. Beside the city itself and the floating islands above, there are many unclaimed grotto-heavens for cultivators to explore in the surrounding areas,” Ji Wujiong said. “Not long ago, there were signs of anomalies in one of these grotto-heavens. The owner of the Beyond The Heaven thus auctioned an entry token on the Heaven Auction House…”

He paused for a moment and continued, “The entry token allows one to explore these grotto-heavens. It always fetches a sky-high price during auctions, and each token can admit five people. This time, it was said that they auctioned the token to enter the grotto-heaven located at the seventh mountain of Beyond the Heaven.”

“Ah,” Meng Qi softly responded. She was aware of this. Not only that, but she actually had been attending this exact auction and witnessed as the entry token was being auctioned. Her original goal was to bid for Blazing Feather, but in the process, she had also spent several hundred eighth-grade spirit stones on an ancient jade slip retrieved from the Starfallen Sea. Unfortunately, she still didn’t know the contents of that jade slip.
