Chapter 467: I Want a City

Ye Feng frowned slightly as a highly aggressive mental force swept through his temporary room, clearly attempting to break through the restriction. Yet, as soon as Ye Feng’s mental force extended out, it was swiftly withdrawn.
“It’s a being at the level of an Ancestral God…” Ye Feng could easily determine the opponent’s cultivation level from the reaction of the restriction. “It’s best if you don’t let me know who you are!”
Ye Feng removed the restriction, stepped out of his room, and knocked on the door next door.
“Did you feel that mental force just now?” Ye Feng asked Long Tian.
“Mm, at the Ancestral God level, but I can’t tell who it is,” Long Tian nodded.
“Although we’re fairly strong, we still need to be cautious. That guy clearly had ill intentions. Under normal circumstances, out of courtesy, we’d withdraw our mental force after touching a restriction. But this guy tried to break through our restriction—clearly a provocation.” Ye Feng frowned. “I don’t know which one of the three it is.”
“None of them. During the three days you were away, many Ancestral God-level beings arrived. More than twenty of them, all coming from nearby cities. There are no longer just three Ancestral God-level beings in this city,” Long Tian shrugged.
“That many?” Ye Feng was surprised. “It seems they really value this celebration.”
“No, so many Ancestral Gods coming isn’t just for the celebration,” Long Tian seemed to see further. “They’re here for you and me…”
“You mean, to recruit us?” Ye Feng immediately understood. “That makes sense. We’ve won a hundred battles in a row, and though our cultivation levels aren’t high, we have great potential. Once our cultivation reaches the Ancestral God level, our strength will far exceed that of ordinary Ancestral God-level beings.”
“What are your plans?” Long Tian had already started preparing for the future.
“I don’t intend to pledge allegiance to anyone. After finishing matters here, I’m going to Houtu City to search for Earth Essence Crystals.” Ye Feng hadn’t forgotten about finding extreme attribute materials.
“I inquired about the rewards for winning a hundred battles in the past,” Long Tian suddenly changed the topic.
“They’re useless for us, right? Secret manuals, divine artifacts, pills—we already have plenty of those,” Ye Feng seemed uninterested.

“That’s right. My memories from my past life and the inheritance from the secret realms have made these things hold no appeal for me anymore. Not to mention you.” Long Tian smiled and said in a somewhat mysterious tone, “But aside from secret manuals, divine artifacts, pills, and various materials for alchemy and blacksmithing, there’s also a special option.”
“What is it?” Long Tian’s expression piqued Ye Feng’s curiosity as well; it seemed like it really was something good.
“A second-tier city!” Long Tian lowered his voice.
“Give us a city?” Ye Feng narrowed his eyes slightly.
“That’s right. This tactic is actually quite clever—using some cities on the verge of being abandoned as prizes. At the very least, it can ensure the survival of the remaining residents in those cities, and it also allows us to help kill magical beasts,” Long Tian said with a smile. “But I think it’s a good choice for us.”
“Hmm, no need to rely on others—having our own city. And with my sources of supplies, I can definitely turn my city into a commercial hub in the divine realm.” The thought of turning plenty of divine crystals into domain energy and pouring them into the Void Realm excited Ye Feng.
“The most important thing is that once you become the city lord, you get another privilege.” In just three days, Long Tian had gathered a lot of crucial information. “After becoming the lord of a second-tier city, you can challenge the lord of a first-tier city. If you win, you can replace them as the lord of the first-tier city. But there’s a condition: each lord of a first-tier city can only be challenged once every ten thousand years. So if we want to challenge someone, we can only choose those who haven’t been challenged in ten thousand years.”
“That’s not bad. Even if we get a second-tier city, it will surely be a ruined city with no owner. Rebuilding it would take a lot of time and effort. But a first-tier city is different—it can be revitalized with just a little effort.” Ye Feng nodded. “After becoming the lord of a first-tier city, can we challenge the lord of the main city?”
“That’s not possible. The lord of the main city cannot be changed casually. But through certain special challenges, one can enter the council of elders of the main city. Once part of the council, one can participate in deciding on major issues that the lord of the main city can’t handle alone. The status of the elders is equal to that of the city lord, and they have the same access to information…” Clearly, Long Tian hadn’t obtained this information from random sources.
“In other words, wherever there’s a secret realm opening, wherever rare treasures emerge, or wherever extremeattributes substances appear, I can get the news right away?” Ye Feng understood very well the deeper meaning behind Long Tian’s words.

“For us, the Divine Realm is a truly rare and wonderful place…” Long Tian winked at Ye Feng.
“Indeed, it’s a great place,” Ye Feng nodded with a smile.
Looking up at the sky, Long Tian gestured toward a nearby area. “Let’s go. There’s a grand celebration held just for us two. Pearl and the others are already waiting over there.”
The middle-aged man in purple saw Ye Feng and Long Tian finally appear and took the lead in clapping. “Let’s give a warm welcome to the two main guests of this celebration!”
Applause and cheers filled the air. Ye Feng looked up and saw a vast square packed so tightly that the edges were barely visible.
“Something that has never happened in the history of the Divine Realm occurred just three days ago in our city of Kana—two warriors who achieved a hundred consecutive victories on the same day. This is the greatest honor for our city of Kana. Even the main city has never had such an honor!” The middle-aged man in purple was visibly excited.
“Today, we are even more honored to invite the second city lord of Titan City to present awards to these two warriors with a hundred consecutive victories!” He bowed slightly in one direction, introducing the so-called second city lord. Then he stepped beside Ye Feng and the other man. “Allow me to introduce him—this is the second city lord of our main city, Titan City, Lord Tai Hao.”
Ye Feng glanced at Tai Hao. He was an ordinary-looking man, but his exposed arms were covered with bulging muscles, radiating explosive strength—clearly a physical cultivator. His cultivation level was at the peak of the Ancestral God tier, which made Ye Feng slightly wary.
“I assume you know what the rewards for a hundred consecutive victories are?” Tai Hao didn’t waste time with pleasantries and got straight to the point. “A secret scripture sufficient for you to reach the Ancestral God level, a top-tier divine artifact, a top-tier divine pill, three supreme medicinal herbs, three supreme materials for refining weapons, or a second-tier city. Choose one from these six!”
Long Tian glanced at Ye Feng and then decisively said, “I choose a second-tier city!”
Hearing this choice, everyone around was surprised, even Tai Hao. “Are you sure?”
“Sure! I want a city!” Long Tian replied without hesitation.
“What about you?” Tai Hao turned to Ye Feng.
“I also choose a city…” Ye Feng’s answer surprised everyone again. “But I don’t want another city. It’s useless for us brothers to have two cities. We just need a larger city.”

“Although there’s no precedent for combining rewards, both of your requests are reasonable. Wait a moment; I’ll discuss this with my elder brother and others to see if it’s feasible.” Tai Hao glanced at Ye Feng and Long Tian before calling over the middle-aged man in purple robes and entering the city lord’s mansion.

“Who are these two?” Tai Hao asked the middle-aged man in purple.

“From my investigations over the past few days, they are both ascendants who have just risen to this realm. I don’t know why they’re so powerful,” the middle-aged man replied with a hint of fear.

“Ascendants?” Tai Hao frowned slightly. “I’ll talk to my elder brother and see which city would be best for them.”

After a while, Tai Hao put down the communication stone and waved at the middle-aged man in purple robes. “Don’t interrupt me later; I’ll handle it.”

“Yes!” The middle-aged man bowed slightly before following him away.

When Ye Feng saw Tai Hao returning with a smile, he knew his request had been granted.

“Lord Tai Hao, what’s the result?” Ye Feng asked, feigning ignorance.

“We agree to your request and have chosen two of the largest untaken second-tier cities for you: City of Senter and City of Dor.” As Tai Hao mentioned these two cities, many present looked displeased.

“Actually, both of these cities were once first-tier cities but were conquered by magical beasts, causing most of their residents to flee. City of Dor used to be the gateway to the Divine Realm, located on its eastern border. As for City of Senter, it’s situated at the boundary between the indigenous people and ascendants and was once an economic hub.”

Still, no one spoke. Even Ye Feng noticed something was amiss.

“To be honest, these two cities still suffer frequent attacks from beast hordes and are among the last places people from the Divine Realm want to go.” Tai Hao knew he couldn’t hide this much longer. “Of course, these are the largest cities. You can also choose smaller ones, but those are true second-tier cities, only one-tenth the size of these two.”

“Let’s take a look at the map first, then choose one from these two,” Ye Feng said, pulling Long Tian aside and taking out the map.

To his surprise, the map still showed these two cities as first-tier cities, not second-tier as Tai Hao had said.

“Let’s choose City of Senter!” After some discussion with Long Tian, Long Tian finally made up his mind.

“Alright, here’s the token for you. When you get there, just show it. Remember, that city belongs to you now—go and take up your post as soon as possible. I hope you’ll do well! I’m leaving now; have fun!”
“Sure, thank you!” Ye Feng took the token and watched Tai Hao leave…
