Gu Changge's location in Silver Moon City, Twin Dragon Prefecture, was in the southeastern part of the entire Star Luo Divine Dynasty. Gu Changge controlled his flying sword and flew towards the imperial city.
The Star Luo Divine Dynasty, Dou Tian Divine Dynasty, Soul Annihilation Sword Sect, and Demon Suppressing Pagoda were all powers with a single Emperor. Gu Changge had previously browsed an ancient book called the Record of Spirit Martial Emperors in the royal library of the Qianyuan Divine Dynasty. It recorded the life stories of all the Emperors of the Tianwu Continent throughout history, as well as the forces they founded or belonged to.
The Star Luo Divine Dynasty had vast territories, with numerous small sects and families. Traveling from Silver Moon City to the imperial city, with Gu Changge's current strength at the first level of the Skin Scraping Realm, would take at least several months of flying. Therefore, Gu Changge flew northwest, traveling and cultivating along the way.
"Stop! Flying is prohibited above Bright Moon City!"
Just as Gu Changge was controlling his flying sword, a loud voice suddenly came.
Gu Changge looked down and realized he was already above a city. At the city gate below, two guards from the city defense army were shouting.
"Sorry, I was focused on flying and didn't notice the city below."
Gu Changge controlled his flying sword to land slowly on the ground, then stepped off the sword and onto the ground, saying.
According to general divine dynasty law, the airspace above cities was prohibited for flying. Gu Changge had not paid attention for a moment, which was why he didn't stop when flying over Bright Moon City.
Bright Moon City was a city west of Silver Moon City, also belonging to Twin Dragon Prefecture, and not very far from Silver Moon City.
Seeing Gu Changge land on the ground, the two guards no longer blocked him.
"Pay the city entry fee, five Spirit Stones."
One of the guards said.
Thus, Gu Changge paid five Spirit Stones and entered Bright Moon City.
Bright Moon City, although not the prefectural city of Twin Dragon Prefecture, was much more impressive than Silver Moon City before. It could be considered a large city within Twin Dragon Prefecture.
Bright Moon City was filled with the bustling atmosphere of the human world. Rows of densely packed houses and marketplaces could be seen, filled with a large number of cultivators, as well as many specialized shops for cultivators' side businesses such as the Alchemy Pavilion, Artifact Refining Pavilion, Formation Arranging Pavilion, Talisman Drawing Pavilion, Puppet Pavilion, Gu Worm Pavilion, Beast Taming Pavilion, and Plant Cultivation Pavilion.
Plant Cultivators were similar to Beast Tamers, both cultivating Spirit Beasts or Spirit Plants.
Generally speaking, Spirit Plants could be divided into two types. One type absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, continuously increasing in age and breaking through grades. The other type absorbed spiritual energy, chose to awaken their intelligence, transforming into Demonic Beasts, and could transform into human form upon reaching great success.
If they maintained their original Spirit Plant form and were raised by cultivators, they were Plant Cultivators. If they transformed into Demonic Beasts and were raised by cultivators, such cultivators were called Beast Tamers.
Do not underestimate Plant Cultivators just because they only cultivate Spirit Plants.
If a Spirit Plant's grade broke through to the Emperor rank, it could give birth to a Spirit Plant Spirit. This Spirit Plant Spirit could continuously cultivate and improve its own cultivation, and obey the Plant Cultivator's commands to attack enemies.
Most importantly, an Emperor-rank Spirit Plant that had given birth to a Spirit Plant Spirit could continuously produce fruits, or grow roots, stems, leaves, and flowers without harming its source, providing precious spiritual materials to the Plant Cultivator.
It could not only help the Plant Cultivator fight but also continuously provide spiritual materials.
For example, the Emperor-rank Spirit Plant, Spirit Gathering Grass, that Gu Changge currently possessed, if planted on Spirit Seed soil and supplemented with a spirit formation, after absorbing enough spiritual energy, it would have two choices.
One was to give birth to intelligence and transform into a Demonic Beast. The other was to give birth to a Spirit Plant Spirit, still maintaining its Spirit Plant form, and unable to transform into human form its entire life.
Although both giving birth to intelligence and giving birth to a Spirit Plant Spirit seemed to be about awakening wisdom, there were still certain differences.
Demonic Beasts that gave birth to intelligence could continuously increase their wisdom, while Spirit Plant Spirits only possessed basic primal intelligence. They could only understand human speech and exhibit basic emotional reactions.
"Make way, make way! I'm here, you lowly peasants, get out of the way!"
At this moment, an arrogant voice interrupted Gu Changge's thoughts.
Gu Changge stood not far from the city gate and saw a young man driving a carriage pulled by three horses with flames and horns. The young man, dressed in fine clothes, was wildly whipping his long whip, driving the carriage recklessly, completely disregarding the safety of the city residents.
"Hmph, you're just arrogant because your dad is the City Lord. You'll definitely suffer a big loss one day."
A passerby who saw the young man's behavior and was displeased couldn't help but say in a low voice.
"Hiss! Are you tired of living? Wang Yu is a famous young master of our Bright Moon City, and he's the City Lord's son. If he hears you say that, and he's unhappy, your whole family will be buried with him!"
The friend beside the passerby heard his words and quickly covered his mouth, saying.
"Excuse me, can you tell me if the Wang Yu you're talking about is the young man driving the carriage recklessly?"
At this moment, Gu Changge happened to be standing not far from the two. His sharp ears had overheard their conversation, so he walked over and asked.
"Looking at you, you must be from out of town. You might not know that here in Bright Moon City, the person you absolutely cannot afford to offend is that young man in front."
The passerby's friend said.
"Can you explain in detail why?"
Gu Changge asked.
"This Wang Yu is the son of our Bright Moon City Lord, Wang Aotian. The City Lord had him late in life, and the City Lord's wife had a difficult childbirth when giving birth to Wang Yu, so the City Lord dotes on Wang Yu excessively, which has led to Wang Yu's arrogant and overbearing personality."
"And in Bright Moon City, there are four major powers: the Xiao Sect, the Flute Playing Gate, the Li Family, and the City Lord's Mansion."
"The City Lord's Mansion is an official power. Moreover, City Lord Wang Aotian is the strongest existence in the entire Bright Moon City at the third level of the Qi Condensation Realm. Coupled with the two first-level Qi Condensation Realm commanders in the city defense army, who are Wang Aotian's confidants, while the strongest in other forces only has one first-level Qi Condensation Realm existence, the City Lord's Mansion's influence in Bright Moon City is truly sky-high."
This passerby's friend patiently explained to Gu Changge.
"I see, it seems this Wang Yu is a tumor in Bright Moon City."
Gu Changge couldn't help but sigh.
However, by sheer coincidence, Wang Yu, who was driving the carriage, happened to pass by Gu Changge at this moment and heard Gu Changge's unintentional sigh.
"Presumptuous! You, an ant at the first level of the Skin Scraping Realm, dare to slander the Young City Lord!"
Wang Yu was closely followed by two pairs of city defense soldiers on both sides. To put it nicely, they were guards, but in reality, they were Wang Yu's lackeys.
At this moment, a captain from Wang Yu's guard team heard Gu Changge's words and immediately defended Wang Yu's dignity, saying righteously.
