"Who told you I was planning to have my Fate Divine Clone take Sasha out?" Lin Feng laughed. "My Wind Divine Clone almost fully integrated with eight Mysteries, making it roughly the same strength as my Earth Divine Clone. However, the lack of combat experience in the Yulan Plane makes breakthroughs difficult. So, my idea is to have my Wind Divine Clone take Sasha out to play. This way, I can not only ensure Sasha's safety but also gain more combat experience to prepare for future breakthroughs."

"As for sending my Fate Divine Clone back, it's just to take over the role of the Wind Divine Clone," Lin Feng explained.

Lin Feng spoke casually, Beibei and Dilia took it all for granted. But Nisi, on the other hand, had a completely different feeling. Fusion of eight profound Mysteries? What kind of realm is that? The Laws of Wind Elements has a total of nine profound Mysteries. Fusion of eight is even more powerful than fusing five of the six Mysteries.

The extraordinary figure who had fused eight Laws of Wind Elements was standing right in front of her—her own brother, Lin Feng. This was something she could never have imagined before. For a moment, Nisi felt a sense of unreality.

From a young age Nisi admired her Salomon because Salomon not only cared for and loved her, but also possessed exceptional talent in cultivation and worked incredibly hard. In a million years, he had cultivated the Laws of Destruction to the level of Five-Star Fiend, approaching Six-Star Fiend, making him a true genius.

But now, as Nisi secretly compared her brother to Lin Feng, she realized that the difference was too great, beyond description.

"So, which dimension are you planning to take Sasha to visit?" Dilia asked.

"Which plane?" Lin Feng thought for a moment before replying, "Probably the Life Divine Plane."

"The Life Divine Plane?" Beibei suddenly joked, "Boss, you're not thinking of going to find the High Priest, are you?" After saying that, Beibei glanced at Dilia with ill intent.

Lin Feng was taken aback. He didn't mind Beibei's joke, but Beibei's reminder made him remember that the High Priest had gone to the Life Divine Plane Life Divine Plane. "Perhaps I really might run into her there."

Lin Feng's strength has increased dramatically, and he can now control the speed at which the Metal Lifeform moves.

They kept overtaking other vehicles along the way, and in less than half a month, a huge city came into view.

"Huiyue City!"

After collecting the Metal Lifeform, Lin Feng and his companions arrived at the city gate. They saw three large, powerful characters painted on the gate, and Lin Feng read them aloud softly.

"Boss, this city is so big! It seems bigger than Hongye City Diyi City combined." Beibei looked at the city gate, which was significantly larger than both Diyi City and Hongye City, and the endless stream of people in front of it, and asked in confusion.

"Both Diyi City and Hongye City are located in the central part of Zijing Crystal Mountain. Trade is underdeveloped and the population is small, so building a large city wouldn't make a difference," Lin Feng laughed. "But this ' Huiyue City ' is the closest city to the Amethyst Mountain Range. The Eighteen Families and many gods who enter the Amethyst Mountain Range to collect Amethyst come to this city to sell their Amethyst. It can be said that this city is the distribution center for Amethyst in the entire region, and even in all planes. With a large population, it's normal for the city to be built larger."

"All the Amethyst distribution centers?" Beibei's eyes lit up, Soul Transmission, "Boss, do you think this city can take over if we sell all the Amethyst we have?"

The Amethyst in Lin Feng and Beibei's hands combined is worth hundreds of billions of Amethyst. Even if the price paid by the Zijing Castle for the Amethyst is not ten thousand, but only seventy percent, it is still worth at least trillions of Inkstone.

Over a trillion Inkstone —this number sounds easy, but if all of them were converted into Inkstone, they would be enough to form a small mountain.

"Of course we can handle it," Lin Feng laughed. "While a trillion Inkstone may seem like a lot, for some large families that have existed for countless eons, it's just a small fortune."

"And the amount of Amethyst flowing out of this city every day is far more than tens of billions. We are at most one of their major customers."

Although the city gate of Huiyue City was a size larger than those of Diyi City and Hongye City, the flow of people coming and going was simply too great, and three long lines of gods who wanted to enter the city formed at the gate, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Of course, since Lin Feng and his companions were all Fiend, they didn't need to queue up to pay the entrance fee and went straight in.

Upon entering the city, Lin Feng and his companions immediately noticed the difference; the gap was enormous. If Lin Feng Hongye City Diyi City, which they had seen before, could be considered prosperous, then Huiyue City could only be described as luxurious.

The main road leading into the city gate was a full five li wide, something Lin Feng had never seen in any other city, including modern metropolises on Earth. A road five li wide was simply outrageous.

Five li (approximately 2.5 kilometers) is a distance that would take an average person at least half an hour to walk from one side of the road to the other.

However, despite the wide road surface, it was still packed with pedestrians, making it difficult to see the road surface at first glance.

"This is too exaggerated! How can there be so many people?" Even though Nisi had seen a lot of things, she was still shocked by the scene before her. The phrase "crowded with people" was completely inadequate to describe what she was seeing.

"It's already evening, why are there still so many people? And the lines outside for people wanting to enter the city are so long. By the time those at the back of the line get in, it'll probably be curfew time."

"Because of its massive population, this city is one of the few in the Infernal Realm without a curfew," Lin Feng explained with a smile. He learned all of this from books.

"No curfew?" Beibei asked in surprise. "Won't all the gods whose lives are insecure and who don't have the money to buy or rent houses in the city flood into it? After all, fighting is not allowed in the city."

The cities in the Infernal Realm have curfews to prevent large numbers of refugees from crowding in and disrupting order. After all, Infernal Realm has too many people and too few cities, creating a situation of too many cooks spoiling the broth. But if a city didn't have a curfew, how would it manage to control the influx of refugees?

Lin Feng explained, "Although fighting is not allowed within the city, do you see any place in this city for people to cultivate? It's crowded with people everywhere; it's hard to even find a place to stand, let alone a suitable environment for cultivation. Only some houses within the city offer a quiet environment for cultivation. Even if a god came here seeking safety, it wouldn't help. He can't just wander around the bustling streets all day, can he? You could say this is a city that exists for the Amethyst trade, not a city suitable for human habitation."

"Let's go to the Zijing Castle first and exchange the Amethyst we have for Inkstone." Lin Feng said, and led the way into the city. Beibei and the other two hurriedly followed.

"Boss, how long is this damn road? It feels like we'll never reach the end!" Beibei said listlessly, her head drooping.

They had been making the most of their time, walking along this main road for almost half a day, but still hadn't seen a glimpse of the Zijing Castle.

"I think it should be soon," Lin Feng said somewhat uncertainly.

Lin Feng had never seen such a large city before. On Earth, you can travel by car; the city on Yulan can be flown.

However, since flying was not allowed within the city limits and there were no cars to ride in, he could only drive his little car, the No. 11, slowly along the way.

After walking for about two more hours, Lin Feng and his companions could finally vaguely see the silhouettes of three castles.

However, these three castles were several times larger than any they had seen before.

The eerie red eye atop the Fiend Castle hung there like a giant painting, inspiring awe and dread.

Lin Feng and his companions were there to sell Amethyst, so naturally they had to enter through the back gate of the Zijing Castle Zijing Castle. However, after spending half a day circling around from the front gate to the back gate, they found that the huge archway, nearly a mile wide, was already packed with a massive crowd.

"Lin Feng, with so many people, it might be difficult for you to get in," Dilia said.

Huiyue City primarily deals in Amethyst trade, while Zijing Castle is the central hub of Amethyst trade. Most major customers sell their mined Amethyst to Zijing Castle or buy Amethyst from Zijing Castle. Only smaller customers sell a few or a dozen Amethyst mined from the Amethyst Mountain Range to Amethyst buying points on the street. Those who want to buy a small amount of Amethyst for cultivation also mostly buy from these small shops.

The Zijing Castle here only handles large orders exceeding ten thousand Amethyst.

It could be said that in the entire Amethyst trade, Zijing Castle was making the lion's share, while the small shops scattered along the streets were only getting scraps. But even so, in such a large market, they still made a fortune.

This can be seen from the fact that more than half of the shops along the street are engaged in the trade of Amethyst.

Although the Zijing Castle only deals with large orders of 10,000 Amethyst or more, almost 80% of the Amethyst in the Infernal Realm are collected and distributed from this castle. You can imagine how large the flow of people is.

"No matter how difficult it is, we have to get in." Lin Feng smiled and said, "Let's go, you guys stick close to me, don't get separated by the crowd."

After overcoming numerous difficulties, Lin Feng and his companions finally managed to squeeze into the Zijing Castle.

Upon entering the lobby on the first floor, a striking slogan immediately comes into view.

Transactions under 100,000 Amethyst will be processed in the lobby on the first floor. Transactions over 100,000 Amethyst will be processed on the second floor!

"Let's go to the second floor," Lin Feng said directly.

After finally squeezing his way to the stairs, Lin Feng discovered that the stairs weren't tiered, but rather an automatic staircase like a conveyor belt. Although he didn't know what powered the automatic staircase, Lin Feng knew it certainly wasn't electric.

Following the flow of people, we went up to the second floor and entered the second-floor lobby.

The number of people in the second-floor lobby was significantly less than on the first floor, but it was still crowded and difficult to move around.

As soon as I reached the second floor, another eye-catching slogan appeared before my eyes.

Transactions under 100 million Amethyst should be processed in the lobby on the second floor; transactions over 100 million Amethyst should be processed on the third floor.

"Let's go up to the third floor." After seeing this sign, Lin Feng headed straight for the stairs.
