Chapter 2005: The Stripes of the World
mmortals. Staying in Yuncang Dazze, while safe, also means that the hope of building a foundation is slim, and one can only leave it to fate.If one hasn't managed to establish a foundation yet, wouldn...Emerging from the teleportation array, Qin Sang saw that beneath his feet was a large, circular platform cast entirely of black iron.
The platform hovered in the sky. Beyond the platform, the sea of clouds was boundless, and distant mountains stretched endlessly.
Qin Sang felt a huge shadow looming over him. He couldn't help but raise his head, and what met his eyes was a celestial fairy city, an astonishing steel fortress!
It's Tiānjī City!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Before I saw Tianjicheng with my own eyes, it was hard to imagine that such a strange city existed in the cultivation world.
Qin Sang saw the foundation of Tianjicheng, entirely forged from gold and iron. Blocks of steel were connected by mechanisms, tightly interlocking. Each seam between the steel pieces was clearly visible.
Countless pieces of massive iron, meticulously crafted and joined together, resembled a colossal airship suspended in the sky.
Beneath the ‘Titan’, eight iron pillars extended, standing on the peak of the most majestic mountain surrounding it.
Tiangji City is supported by iron pillars, stretching across the peak of the clouds and above the nine heavens. It resembles a giant mechanical beast—a steel spider—that could move its eight legs at any moment and charge with incredible force.
Such a huge spider, with legs that are incredibly long, could walk as easily on the flat ground of Wan Shan's towering mountain range in Genzhou.

Under the sunlight, the entire city shone with a metallic luster. Qin Sang strained his eyes, but could only faintly see shadows of steel pillars through the mist.
Those iron pieces were no ordinary metal. Qin Sang saw that the surface of the iron pieces was engraved with complex runes, all carefully refined by cultivators.
It's hard to imagine how much spirit gold and profound iron, how much manpower it would take to forge such a colossal city.
Qin Sang was currently standing on a metal plate extending from a steel pillar.
The entire steel pillar is covered with countless similar iron plates, densely packed. They are not only equipped with small teleportation arrays but also various other functions.
He flashed, arriving at the edge of the iron plate, and saw a corner of the true Heavenly Mechanism City above the 'giant ship'.
The lower half of the Tiānjī City structure resembled a steel giant spider, while the upper half was like an iron lotus flower.
People live here, but the city isn't flat. Petal-shaped iron plates are inlaid into the main body of Tiangcheng, continuing upwards and outwards.
These iron plates were incredibly thick and massive, each one serving as a district of Tianji City. People lived there, and the streets teemed with activity, houses standing in neat rows.
All the iron pieces combine to form a blooming iron lotus in the sky. It is rough, hard, and sharp, glittering with gold under the sun, possessing a unique and unparalleled beauty.

At the edge of the petals, countless black dots floated in the boundless void.
These black dots are various iron birds and iron beasts ridden by cultivators. They are undoubtedly mechanical beasts, with countless cultivators either entering or leaving Tiangji City.
>
Unlike the nimble Xuanhu and Chi Fenghuang, these organ beasts were clearly constructs of metal and iron. Their steel shells gleamed with an unyielding brilliance, rough and cold. Gaps in their exteriors revealed intricate mechanical structures within: gears, spirals, bearings, linkages, chains... Every component meticulously crafted, their movement produced a distinctive metallic symphony.
The iron bird flew into the city, landing directly on the edge of a petal. With a 'click', its mechanism and the Heavenly Mechanism City connected, merging seamlessly and becoming part of the city itself.
Of course, there are also cultivators who fly alone or ride spirit beasts. However, those who ride mechanical beasts do not need to be inspected and can enter and exit freely, which shows that there is some kind of rule.
Besides the mechanical beasts, there are other tools for entering the city. Around eight great iron pillars, countless iron cages are suspended, pulled by iron chains, connecting the top and bottom, producing a rustling sound.
Below Tiangji City, among the undulating mountains, there are also palaces and pavilions. Immortals and mortals live together here. They reside below Tiangji City but are not blocked from sunlight by it. This must be the result of a powerful formation's work.
There is a fairy city on the city, and iron spider carries golden flowers!
Even though Qin Sang had heard various rumors on his way here, seeing it with his own eyes still left him in awe. Tiangji City could be said to be the most unique immortal city he had ever seen in the cultivation world. It stirred up long-forgotten memories that he had already pushed into a corner, and he couldn't help but feel a myriad of emotions.
I wonder if all the capital cities of the Eight Great Heavenly States are as magnificent and unique as this one What is the atmosphere like in the White Jade Capital
Qin Sang regained his composure and entered an iron cage. The pulley wheels whirred, and the steel cable pulled the cage upwards at high speed, taking Qin Sang into Tianji City.
He didn't stay in Tiangji City for too long, just taking a quick look. He was eager to see the human clan's holy land. There is a great displacement formation connecting Tiangji City and Baiyujing, making travel between them instantaneous. In the future, he could return whenever needed.
After inquiring about the location, Qin Sang found the mansion responsible for transferring and transporting people. A supervisor at the Nascent Soul stage greeted him.
The steward sized Qin Sang up with a glance, his expression turned serious, and he rose to greet him, bowing: "Master Qin, are you a cultivator of the Refining Void realm"
"That's right!"
Qin Sang nodded, hearing a hint in the official's question. He retorted, "Does going to Baiyu Jing also have requirements for cultivation level"
“Esteemed seniors, there are indeed requirements. The journey is long and the Great Displacement Array harbors risks. Generally, only those at the Refining Void stage or above can ensure safety. Nascent Soul cultivators either need to be accompanied by a Refining Void cultivator, possess a powerful artifact of authority, or fulfill some special requirements. Otherwise, acting alone is also impossible to qualify. These requirements are all very demanding, and the cost of each displacement is beyond the reach of ordinary people. The junior has yet to have the honor of visiting the holy land, and it is even more impossible for those below Nascent Soul…”
Qin Sang asked in detail, the person in charge dared not offend him, could only patiently answer.
"So that's how it is. Qin wants to make a quick trip, but I wonder how much it will cost" Qin Sang nodded and pressed for more details.
“The Grand Displacement Formation is under the charge of Senior Li. Senior, please follow me,” the manager said with a slight bow, leading Qin Sang towards the depths of the mansion.
On the outside, it looks like a city of gold and iron, but inside, it's like little bridges and flowing water. It all depends on personal preference.
After passing through many restrictions, the official led Qin Sang to an old man.
"Greetings, Daoist Li," Qin Sang bowed.
Facing the wealth god right at his doorstep, the elderly man surnamed Li was very enthusiastic, smiling and bowing politely. “Qin Daoist are you going to Baiyu Jing It’s a coincidence, in an hour, the Da Nuo Yi formation will open. Daoist, take a look at this…”
He spoke, then handed her a jade slip.
Qin Sang took it, her eyebrows rising slightly.

As expected, no amount of spirit stones would be useful here. The list was filled with all sorts of wondrous treasures from heaven and earth. While there were some ordinary spiritual materials listed as well, their quantities were significantly larger.
The trade meeting at the Qi Tian Dharma Assembly, where spirit treasures were used as admission tickets, was already incredibly exorbitant.
Here, it's even stricter. Spirit Treasures are acceptable, but there are requirements for their quality. They won't accept those that were hastily forged and lack power, or are simply mediocre substitutes.
Qin Sang truly possessed treasures of heaven and earth, all acquired during the Jitian Dharma Assembly or selected from spoils of war. He kept those that were useful for the future, and even taking out any one felt like a pain.
After weighing the options, using Lingbao is still the most satisfying.
Qin Sang took out a spiritual treasure called the Yuanli Cleansing Bowl. This treasure was of unknown origin, obtained by the ancestor of the Minggou from somewhere. Among the ancestor's relics, its quality was second only to the Soul-Annihilating Lamp and the Spirit Plaque. During the Jiti Heaven Assembly, someone had expressed interest in it, but their offer was too low, so the deal fell through.
>
With the Yuanli Purification Bowl in hand, the only remaining treasure from the Ancestor of the Void Sparrow was the Spirit Tablet. This tablet, called Lingji, was forged with countless blood and flesh souls, carrying the weight of ten thousand spirits, a truly formidable artifact. Qin Sang intended to study it thoroughly when he had time, keeping it for his own use.
"Perhaps it's best to keep our distance in the future."
Qin Sang muttered to herself.
Unless there were special requirements for the power of divine artifacts, Qin Sang could freely refine those ordinary spiritual treasures. Even if it took more effort, he couldn't afford the expenses involved.

After receiving the Yulian Jingshi, the elderly man surnamed Li carefully examined it and nodded in satisfaction. He gave Qin Sang a jade talisman and, taking him aboard a small teleportation array, entered another grand hall.
Entering the main hall, Qin Sang felt a tightness in his chest. The formation here was far more terrifying than any he had seen before.
He scanned the surroundings silently. The hall was vast, with a grand formation situated in the center, but it was shrouded in a veil of dark mist, obscuring its full appearance.
On the edge of the mystic fog, several figures sat or stood, all cultivators of the Void Realm.
When the elderly man surnamed Li brought Qin Sang in, some of these people nodded to Qin Sang as a greeting, while others just glanced at him and then looked away, their expressions cold.

“There is still one hour left, and there shouldn't be anyone else coming after this.”
A wizened elder surnamed Li stepped forward and said leisurely, “Among you fellow Daoists, some may be going to Yujing for the first time. Allow me, Li, to offer a few words of advice. When being transported, all of you must circulate your strength steadily to stabilize yourselves and resist the turbulence of the void. Once you arrive at Baiyujing, the capital of the Great Zhou, the rules are stricter than in Ganzhou. There will be dedicated personnel to guide you, so just follow their instructions…”
One hour passed in the blink of an eye.
The elderly man surnamed Li stepped into the mist, and after a moment, a voice came from inside, “You may enter now.”
Including Qin Sang, there were eight people in total. Each of them raised the jade talismans they had obtained earlier and entered the mist from eight different directions.
Entering the mist, everything around became hazy. Even Lian Xiushi's cultivation couldn't make out anything. Qin Sang didn't use any divine powers to peek. After taking three steps, he stopped and waited patiently in place.
After a moment of silence, Qin Sang suddenly felt a tremor under his feet. A powerful wave burst from the depths of the dark mist, and a blue light swept out, instantly engulfing Qin Sang.

The next moment, Qin Sang only felt a powerful force binding him, pulling him out forcefully. The surrounding Xuan mist disappeared, and he was pulled into a strange and colorful world. He traveled through the flowing light, and even his body transformed into a streak of light.
Here, chaotic power surged. The jade talismans cracked and shattered, releasing a torrent of blazing might.
Qin Sang still felt the violent power frantically squeezing him, wanting to dismember him or drag him into the unknown. With a slight movement of his mind, he summoned the gray sparrow sword. The sword intent enveloped him, its edge pointing straight ahead, cleaving through waves like a mighty blade!
Whoosh!
As if having experienced endless time and space, or as if it were just a moment, the fleeting light extinguished in an instant, vanishing without a trace.
Qin Sang let out a long, turbid breath, calming the agitated true essence within him. He saw that he was still in the Xuanwu mist. Voices came from outside. Qin Sang stepped out of the Xuanwu mist and found himself surrounded by an impenetrable darkness.
Space has no boundaries, all around is emptiness.
They stood on an empty jade platform, from which extended a dozen or so jade steps, leading to an unknown destination.
Along the edge of the cone, stood rows upon rows of golden armored guards. They guarded this place, and surprisingly, they were all cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage.

"Come with me, esteemed senior," said a golden armored warrior as he walked up a jade staircase, motioning for Qin Sang to follow.
Qin Sang swiftly glanced, and as expected, at the end of the jade steps, there were heavy restrictions. Qin Sang entered the restrictions and did not resist in any way. He only felt a distortion around him, being teleported away, and in an instant, the sky brightened.
The field of vision suddenly widened.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Qin Sang found himself standing on the peak, surrounded by an endless expanse of plains in every direction. His vision was unobstructed, offering a panoramic view that stretched to the horizon where hills finally appeared.
This is fertile land, with houses lined up and streets crisscrossing. The sounds of chickens and dogs can be heard everywhere, as billions of people live here.
Qin Sang's feet was the only mountain in the plain, majestic and magnificent, towering into the sky, with a thousand appearances, worthy of its name as a holy land!
This mountain is the sacred land of the human race - Mount Yu!
Standing on the summit of Yujing Mountain, stars and celestial bodies are within reach.

But in Qin Sang's eyes, the clear blue sky was actually an endless sea of clouds. The sea of clouds was deliberately hidden, so that ordinary people could not see it.
Qin Sang turned around, behind him stood a white jade high platform. On the platform there was a statue, which seemed extremely large, and even its feet were invisible beneath the sea of clouds.
He slowly flew towards the sea of clouds, only to feel as if he had passed through an invisible barrier and arrived above it. The scene had changed dramatically.
First catching the eye is a towering and majestic jade statue. Its height is equal to that of Jade Mountain, with its feet planted firmly on the sacred mountain and its head reaching into the blue sky.
The sculpture depicts a man in immaculate white robes, his hands clasped behind his back as he gazes into the distance. His features are exquisite and regal, his eyes filled with an immeasurable depth of experience, as if burdened by the future of humanity. His tightly clenched fists suggest both anxiety and a resolute determination to pave the way for mankind.
Without any introduction, throughout history, only one person has been worthy of such honor and bearing, Jade Emperor!
Qin Sang's expression was solemn. He looked around, his gaze sweeping across the scene. All he saw was a vast square formed by clouds, teeming with cultivators.
To the north of the sea of clouds, there is a vast immortal palace.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
There, clouds and mountains swirl together, with an ethereal mist pervading the air. Immortals frequently pass through.
Countless majestic palaces, glazed tiles glittering with golden splendor.
Above the white clouds, layer upon layer of them, towering palaces and majestic imperial courts rise, a grand spectacle of thirty-three heavens!
White Jade Capital!
Qin Sang immediately thought of what he had seen in the Shen Ting, a Taoist court imagined by high Daoists, encompassing the Three Palaces, Four Symbols, and Twenty-Eight Constellations, containing all things, reaching the pinnacle of magnificence. But the White Jade Palace before him was real, a genuine fairy palace.
While admiring the fairy palace, Qin Sang discovered a slight anomaly.
In the imperial palace of Baiyu, everyone wore white scarves and every household hung white silk banners. The atmosphere was heavy and solemn.
When King Zhou died, the dragon chariot carried his soul to heaven, and the entire world wore white mourning garments!
Suddenly, someone spoke from beside him, their voice grave.
Qin Sang was startled. Zhou Wang had passed away!
When did someone die, that Tiangji City didn't have any signs beforehand
Then Qin Sang suddenly realized something was wrong.
After refining the void, one's lifespan becomes endless. They fall only due to heavenly tribulations and accidents. The term "death from old age" is almost never used. What level of cultivation did King Zhou possess
Qin Sang glanced sideways and saw the speaker walk to his side. Looking at his face, it turned out to be one of the previous Golden Armored Guards.
This was a middle-aged man, unfamiliar in appearance, but for some reason, Qin Sang felt a strange sense of familiarity from him.
"Old slave greets the True Person!"
Without waiting for Qin Sang to ask, the man took the initiative to transmit a sound. It was Qin Sang's familiar voice and respectful tone, "Master ordered the old slave to stay here and wait for the real person!"
