Entering the City Gate

When Fang Zheng first passed through the Hell Gate, he had indeed seen the ridiculously large gate on the city wall.

However, after using the shockwave from the seal exploding to blow the Ender Pearl away and teleporting over, Fang Zheng could only confirm that he had indeed reached the city wall.

As for whether the gate was to his left or right from his current position, he really couldn't figure it out.

Even if he knew the direction, Fang Zheng's flying speed was still too slow.

Looking at the Golden Armored Golems darting around frantically, Fang Zheng was troubled. "If I switch from Spectator Mode to Creative Mode and these guys don't attack me, I could try spending more time breeding a super-lightspeed horse to travel."

In the game MC, there are many bugs, or you could call them features.

For example, offspring between two horses have a chance to inherit some of their parents' attributes, such as speed.

And by using throwable Potion of Swiftness, a horse's speed can be temporarily enhanced. If you breed them while their speed is enhanced by feeding them food, the offspring will inherit the temporarily enhanced speed as their own attribute.

With enough patience, theoretically, the running speed of Block Horses in MC can be increased indefinitely.

Of course, theory is theory, and in the game MC, it is still limited by factors such as chunk loading speed.

However, what Fang Zheng had transmigrated into was most likely not a game, but a genuine world, and Fang Zheng had indeed spent time breeding lightspeed horses.

But looking at the Golden Armored Golems that still hadn't left and were still searching for him, Fang Zheng knew that it would be difficult to have the time to leisurely breed Block Horses.

"Hmm, let me think..." After pondering for a moment, Fang Zheng switched back to Creative Mode and looked at the Golden Armored Golems that immediately locked onto him and began attacking.

A roughly blue, pixelated circle appeared in his hand. It was a monster egg taken from his inventory, which could be used to spawn Screaming Vindicators.

Even though he was bound like a zongzi by dense golden Rune Chains, Fang Zheng was completely unfettered. He waved his blocky arm, and a Screaming Vindicator appeared beside him.

Although in the very next frame, this monster, which was quite powerful even in MC, was killed without any resistance, Fang Zheng confirmed one thing: these Golden Armored Golems probably couldn't distinguish between enemies and attacked indiscriminately.

Thus, Fang Zheng came up with a plan.

He switched to Phasing Mode again to escape the encirclement of the Golden Armored Golems, and then switched back to Creative Mode.

At the same time, he threw another prepared Ender Pearl towards the other side of the city wall. He remained in place, continuously spawning new monsters, waiting for the Golden Armored Golems to discover and kill them.

The shockwaves from the constant attacks had no effect on him but could blow the Ender Pearls in the air further.

It's important to note that in the MC world, Ender Pearls themselves have no durability. They are consumables; once used, they are gone.

Unless they are destroyed by being thrown into lava in their miniaturized form directly from the inventory, they cannot be attacked or destroyed by anything when held and thrown.

However, shockwaves from explosions of items like TNT or End Crystals could blow them further, and they would only teleport the thrower after flying a certain distance and touching an object.

In the game, players also utilize this feature by building special Ender Pearl cannons with various blocks.

With careful arrangement, they can achieve ridiculously long-distance teleportation.

When Fang Zheng escaped the Four Symbols Killing Array earlier, he used this characteristic of Ender Pearls to teleport himself to the wall.

And now, he was simply repeating the same action.

Thus, although it couldn't compare to the exaggerated ridiculousness of the White Tiger and Vermilion Bird before, the attack power of these golden armored figures was indeed terrifying. The shockwaves from their attacks also propagated at superluminal speeds.

Although controlling the direction was a bit troublesome, by continuously throwing monsters to attract attacks and using the shockwaves to propel them, Ender Pearl after Ender Pearl was carried by the shockwaves across vast distances.

This allowed Fang Zheng to slowly advance from one side of the city wall to the other.

After some time...

Looking at the city gate, which was still endless, carved with dragons and phoenixes, and covered with countless runes that looked even more powerful, Fang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

"Although it took quite some time, I've finally reached the main entrance."

Maintaining the ethereal state of Spectator Mode, Fang Zheng flew towards the gate, which was so massive that he couldn't see its end.

"Even if this is a Xianxia World, there should be ordinary cultivators, right?"

"Ordinary cultivators also need to travel, so no matter what, the city gate should be thinner than the city wall, or there should be some means of transportation, right?"

Looking at the still boundless corner of the city gate, which he couldn't see the end of, Fang Zheng prepared to use Spectator Mode to check its thickness.

After penetrating into the city gate, Fang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. "Thankfully, thankfully."

Under the X-ray vision of Spectator Mode, Fang Zheng could see that the entire city gate was not on the same scale as the thickness of the city wall.

If the thickness of the city gate were compared to a piece of paper, then the thickness of the city wall would be as exaggerated as an entire Earth.

The reason for this was likely the material of the city wall and the city gate.

From Fang Zheng's Spectator Mode X-ray perspective, the opaque areas inside the city gate were roughly black, with a strange metallic form containing numerous dragon-shaped patterns. The runes inside also appeared much stronger and cooler than the runes on the city wall itself.

"Perhaps this city gate is made of some rare and precious material? So, even though it's not as thick as the city wall, its defense power won't be inferior."

"If someone wanted to attack the thinner city gate, they would find that its defense is much higher than the city wall."

"It's not very useful to me, though. I can ignore it with Spectator Mode anyway."

Although it took a full three days, Fang Zheng finally passed through the city gate and arrived at the other side.

He breathed a sigh of relief. "Finally made it. Flying for days straight, I'm starting to go crazy. If it took any longer, I would have been tempted to blow up the gate."

Behind the city gate, Fang Zheng took a deep breath and looked excitedly at the scene behind it.

Behind the city gate, a massive number of Metal Warships were suspended in the sky. Occasionally, some ships would set sail and fly deeper into the city.

However, Fang Zheng felt a bit unable to contain himself. "Are these the means of transportation after the city gate? The style is a bit... ancient."
