Arrival at the Floating Islands
Heaven-Gazing City is also located in Five Aggregates Plain, but it is situated on the border of Five Aggregates Plain.
Since the Xunxian Town was quite far away, Li Yunjing flew away at full speed.
It took them nearly two hours to reach the Heaven-Gazing City.
At this time, the Heaven-Gazing City was bustling with activity, and the area inside the city was even more so.
All of these people are here to attend the Jin Household banquet.
After passing the inspection by several people outside the city, Li Yunjing successfully entered Heaven-Gazing City.
Buildings stood side by side, and streaks of light of various colors flashed across the sky.
This was the first time Li Yunjing had ever seen the scenery inside the Immortal City.
This place is much more lively than Xunxian Town.
Just as he was about to head to the Jin Household, a person walked quickly towards Li Yunjing.
"Fellow Daoist Li, we've been waiting for you for so long, you've finally arrived!"
Li Yunjing looked over and saw it was Han Qingyun.
"Fellow Daoist Han," Li Yunjing greeted him with a smile.
Han Qingyun approached and then said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Li, my father-in-law instructed me to personally escort you to the Jin Household. Please!"
Li Yunjing nodded and followed Han Qingyun all the way to the Jin Household.
On the way, Han Qingyun explained the current situation of Heaven-Gazing City to Li Yunjing.
The current situation of the Jin Household was also introduced.
Li Yunjing listened and nodded.
Before long, the two arrived in front of a magnificent palace.
However, the name of this palace has nothing to do with the Jin Household.
"Star Shift Hall, this place is..." Li Yunjing with some curiosity.
Han Qingyun smiled without saying a word, gesturing for Li Yunjing to follow him.
Upon entering the Star Shift Hall, Li Yunjing saw a huge teleportation array.
"This is... a fourth-grade teleportation array!" Li Yunjing's eyes widened slightly.
This was the first time he had ever seen a teleportation array, let alone a fourth-grade teleportation array.
As the name suggests, the function of a teleportation array is to teleport cultivators to a fixed location.
However, even the simplest teleportation array is a second-grade array.
The teleportation distance is also limited, at most three hundred miles.
According to Li Yunjing's understanding, a fourth-grade teleportation array can travel at least several thousand or even tens of thousands of miles.
Suddenly, Li Yunjing had a thought.
To use the teleportation array, could it be that the Jin Household isn't even in Heaven-Gazing City?
Han Qingyun had already entered the teleportation array, with Li Yunjing following closely behind.
Han Qingyun activated the teleportation array.
A dazzling light burst forth, enveloping the two of them.
Li Yunjing only felt a blur before his eyes.
Once visibility returned to normal, we found ourselves in a new place.
Looking around, I saw lush greenery all around, and even some clouds drifting by.
"Is this... a floating island?" Li Yunjing wondered.
Follow Han Qingyun out of the teleportation array.
Outside the teleportation array, several disciples of the Jin Household were guarding it.
Han Qingyun went over and talked to the group, then returned to Li Yunjing's side.
"Fellow Daoist Li, are you surprised?" Han Qingyun said with a smile.
Li Yunjing nodded. "Indeed surprising, Fellow Daoist Han, is the Jin Household located on a floating island?"
Han Qingyun nodded. "That's right, but not on this floating island."
The Jin Household built over a hundred floating islands above Heaven-Gazing City.
Each floating island serves a different purpose.
This floating island was specifically designed to house teleportation arrays.
"We're going to the Western Archipelago soon, where my father-in-law's family lives."
Li Yunjing nodded slightly.
By this time, the surrounding clouds had dispersed.
Li Yunjing's vision became clearer.
Li Yunjing took notice of the Jin Household's many more floating islands.
Li Yunjing suddenly thought, how wonderful it would be if the Luozhen Sect could be like that.
Just as I was pondering this, several cries suddenly rang out.
The next moment, two enormous Demon Beast landed.
Li Yunjing turned his head and saw that they were two large insects.
This insect resembles a dragonfly in appearance, but has mouthparts like a mosquito.
Its body shimmered with a metallic sheen.
"What a ferocious Demon Beast! What kind of Demon Beast is this!" Li Yunjing exclaimed in surprise.
He had never seen this Demon Beast before.
Han Qingyun explained with a smile, "This is a strange beast kept by the Jin Household."
The Jin Household didn't know the origin of this strange beast, but because of its extreme speed and ability to control lightning, they named it "Lightning Thunder."
On the backs of the two strange beasts named Lightning Thunder are tools resembling saddles.
Li Yunjing leaped up and sat on the back of Lightning Thunder.
The next moment, the two Lightning Thunder flapped their wings and appeared hundreds of meters away in the blink of an eye.
Li Yunjing was stunned by the speed of Lightning Thunder.
The speed at which this Lightning Thunder flew was no less than when he was flying at full speed.
Keep in mind that Lightning Thunder is only at the Bone Forging Realm.
No wonder the Jin Household calls it Lightning Thunder.
Before long, Li Yunjing arrived at the Western Archipelago.
The Jin Household currently has three branches.
The eldest son of the first wife is currently the head of the Jin Household.
It resides in the northern region of the floating islands, known as the Northern Archipelago.
The Eastern Archipelago were where the second wife lived.
The Western Archipelago have three houses.
As for the Southern Archipelago, they are not used for living; they are merely places for the Jin Household to store various things.
The Western Archipelago were bustling with activity at this time.
Many people close to the Jin Household have already arrived in the Western Archipelago.
There are many floating islands in the Western Archipelago, probably more than thirty.
Han Qingyun led Li Yunjing through more than a dozen floating islands.
They then arrived at their destination.
As Li Yunjing jumped off Lightning Thunder's back, he heard a familiar voice.
"Fellow Daoist Li, it's been a long time."
Li Yunjing looked over and saw it was Jin Xiaofeng.
Smiling, Li Yunjing replied, "Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Jin."
Jin Xiaofeng grinned. "Congratulations! I'm overjoyed that Fellow Daoist Li could attend the banquet."
Han Qingyun walked over at this moment.
"Xiaofeng, this is not the place to talk. Quickly take Fellow Daoist Li inside."
Jin Xiaofeng: "That's right, I almost neglected Fellow Daoist Li."
Li Yunjing gestured for them not to rush.
He took out a treasure box containing Crane Saliva Fruit from his bosom.
Li Yunjing handed the treasure box to Jin Xiaofeng.
Today is your father's birthday; this is just a small gift, I hope you won't find it offensive.
Jin Xiaofeng frowned.
"Fellow Daoist Li, it's enough that the person has come; there's no need for such formalities."
Jin Xiaofeng pushed Li Yunjing's hand away, signaling Li Yunjing to put the treasure box back.
Li Yunjing smiled and handed the treasure box to Han Qingyun.
"Fellow Daoist Han, please pass this on for me."
Han Qingyun was taken aback and was about to return the treasure box to Li Yunjing.
Li Yunjing, however, walked straight ahead.
Han Qingyun shook his head with a helpless smile.
After thinking it over, Han Qingyun decided to give up the idea of chasing after them.
Judging from Li Yunjing's attitude, this gift is a must.
Forcibly returning the treasure box would likely damage the relationship with Li Yunjing.
Han Qingyun understood that the Jin Household's invitation to Li Yunjing was not merely to thank Li Yunjing for saving Jin Xiaofeng.
Another objective was to establish connections with the Immortal Alliance.
The Jin Household is not a member of the Immortal Alliance.
Originally, the Jin Household had no intention of joining the Immortal Alliance.
While joining the Immortal Alliance has its benefits, it also comes with corresponding responsibilities.
The Jin Household did not want to be constrained.
But now, the Jin Household has no choice but to consider it.
The Devil Cultivator were extremely arrogant after what happened at the Fortuitous Fate Secret Realm.
In addition, news of Devil Cultivator has been circulating from time to time within the Tianyuan Five Provinces.
This made the Jin Household feel threatened.
If chaos were to break out, the Jin Household would need to find a powerful backer.
The Immortal Alliance is naturally a good choice.
However, the Jin Household will not directly approach the Immortal Alliance to join Immortal Alliance.
Li Yunjing, on the other hand, came into the Jin Household's sights after Jin Xiaofeng returned.
Li Yunjing's background was investigated.
The Jin Household learned about Li Yunjing's current situation.
Because Li Yunjing had a very high reputation at the Immortal Alliance headquarters.
Therefore, the Jin Household felt that Li Yunjing was someone they could win over.
