Legal Nomad
This made Fu Li seem like an evil cultivator, killing and taking demons along the way, until he spent half a day arriving at the edge of the prosperous land of [Ezra], where he was stopped and questioned by a group of guards.
Although it's called a town, it's actually a large city with a population of over a million. The city center is also home to powerful individuals with Attributes close to 20, and the city walls are heavily Abjuration, forming a very sophisticated magical military system.
There is a Magic Seal cannon every fifty meters on the city wall. The Mana circuits between the cannons are interconnected, which are specifically designed to defend against highly mobile individual soldiers.
"Fu Li, Legal Nomad, Zero Rings, ineligible to enter the city."
After he finished speaking, the guard looked at him with suspicion.
It's impossible for someone with Zero Rings to walk out of the wasteland alone.
Fu Li didn't want to go through all that trouble, so she took out her phone and sent a gift to the guard, instantly raising his favorability rating to seventy.
I want to go to town.
The guard's gaze softened. "Legal Nomad are not allowed into the city. They can only receive relief at the military headquarters outside the city or participate in experimental projects, but..."
The guard thought for a moment, feeling that the man before him was refined and approachable, looking like the father of his half-brother, and said:
"Of course, I can also guarantee you temporary status Legal Nomad, but you'll need to go to the homeless management office for verification later."
"OK."
Fu Li sensed the atmosphere in the city and pondered who he should pursue.
"A temporary status Legal Nomad requires two things: proof of ability, or at least First Ring."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Luo's fingertips condensed cold air, and a sharp, solid Ice Cone instantly took shape, possessing the power of Second Ring Spell.
"Okay, next is the second point."
The guard looked around; no one approached.
So he suddenly bent down and pulled down his pants:
"The second point is legality."
"Wait! What the hell is this?! What law is this?!"
Fu Li couldn't hold back.
I'd rather be worthy of everyone in the world than have everyone in the world be worthy of me!
"Hey, hey, bro, wait! Wait! I can be down here!"
The guards instantly sensed the terrifying aura that suddenly erupted from Fu Luo, far exceeding that of the First Ring and Second Rings, and was clearly the overwhelming power of the Sixth Ring!
"This is in accordance with etiquette! Ancient rites established hierarchy, with the inferior serving the superior, extracting all their Demon Essence, and acting according to their status; this is naturally in accordance with etiquette."
The so-called strong are those who ruthlessly bully the weak!
The guard then explained, Fu Li learned one of the island's basic facts:
The so-called "Legal Nomad" are those who can become additional sources of Mana for citizens of "Ezra," and the most common way to gather magic power is through combination and magic.
Those who pass the certification process can obtain a valid certificate.
Essence, it is a living Mana resource stored by the city-state, provided for the local citizens to draw upon and nourish.
Essence a cup.
"This makes perfect sense! Why do you guys have a cup ecosystem here too?!"
"Damn it, Dieyi is still chasing me!"
With Lan Cijiu open, shedding the illusions and Chaos of the old era, she looks upon the world.
A sea of clouds lies beneath our feet, and a galaxy stretches to the heavens.
A bright white sea of clouds stretched to the horizon, then was burned to a golden-red by the setting sun. Above the clouds, the pointed peaks of several mountains emerged, their summits covered with some kind of dark green vegetation, all being blown in the same direction by the wind.
A giant dragon coiled around the mountain peak, its massive body appearing and disappearing amidst the clouds and rosy light.
Above the dragon's shadow lies a deep celestial river, where billions of Stars cast their shimmering light, weaving together to form a vast sea of stars.
In the heart of the vast, star-studded Void, a magnificent city, towering above the heavens, stands Jingjing.
That's Floating City.
Lan Cijiu stood silently atop the floating island, his white robes fluttering in Void long wind. He held Heavenly Book lightly in his left hand and took out an eye-shaped object with his right hand, stuffing it into his mouth.
In an instant, an invisible spiritual fluctuation suddenly rippled outwards from him, spreading like water across the heavens Four Directions earth. A massive amount of information broke through the barriers of perception and surged into his mind along with the torrent of consciousness.
He saw this world.
In the Void of the middle layer of the world, three enormous Floating Continents with extremely vast territories float, each far exceeding the size of the Central Continent world that the Survivors had previously experienced.
The three continents of Aurelian, Harmonia, Iselin stand in opposition across millions of miles of Void.
Giant Floating City, rooted in the Void of the Milky Way, stretch out in a continuous line, with countless pavilions and palaces stacked one on top of another in a staggered arrangement.
The towering city tower, piercing the starry sky, pierces through the Heavenly Stars, with magical energy patterns flowing day and night on its body, outlining a magnificent and terrifying silhouette.
Around the three main continents, tens of thousands of floating islands of varying sizes drift and float, suspended in the sky and above the sea of clouds, some occupied by clans and cities, others desolate and uninhabited.
There are also thousands of fragmented small settlements, isolated in the Void between the storms.
The lights of various city-states stretched for thousands of miles, and magical arrays pulsed with light day and night.
Beneath the earth, a dense web of dark fissures meanders and extends, connecting layers of miasma.
Swords and magic tear this world apart with blood and fire, while dragons and Floating Cities sway in the air.
For millennia, wars have raged on, and countless Myriad Races have vied for supremacy. Billions of lives have drifted like duckweed on a sea of clouds, tossed about by the tides of time, their Life and Death beyond their control.
But if one were to raise one's gaze and traverse the sea of clouds, surpass Myriad Races, pierce through the Milky Way, and tear through the Ethereal...
Above the sea of clouds, above Myriad Races, above the Milky Way, above the Ethereal—
The enormous, indescribable corpse lay Jingjing upon everything.
Lan Cijiu withdrew his gaze.
In the Mana Side world, his decision was correct.
After attempting to rebuild the book and exploring for a while, Lan Cijiu opened the Heavenly Book in his hand and selected the [nearby chapter].
It's not possible to spy on information under all circumstances; one must at least be within Lan Cijiu's perception range to activate it.
Before the era ended, Lan Cijiu had one chance to preserve his books, watching the Survivors fight amongst themselves.
In the end, he chose the Jinli Dao Lord.
This guy may seem to be involved in the cultivation side of the battle, but he doesn't actually belong to the cultivation system at all. His origins, his foundation, and his Future all belong to the Mana Side!
