Chapter 1194 - City of Great Land
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When the Divine Imperial City arrived and hovered above that newly built city, thousands of people came out from the Divine Imperial City, stunned.
On the ground was a new city, over 10 times larger than the Demon-slaying City, covering an area of over ninety square miles. It would not be crowded even if hundreds of millions were to live in the city.
More importantly, everything was new in the city. The walls were recently constructed, and the streets were wide and orderly. The castles and buildings were lined up. One plaza had a radius of over one mile. The Teleportation Formations were emitting faint glows. The items in buildings and castles were ready to use. Guards were on the streets and maids were on their knees, waiting…
Even Lu Li was surprised. Blazing Huo and Chen Tianxian had presented him with this grand present. This was a big favor.
“Lord, the city does not have a name yet. We are waiting for you.”
Chen Tianxian said to Lu Li with a fawning smile. Lu Li, Patriarch of Law Enforcement, Lu Renhuang, and Lu Zhenyang looked at each other. After a moment, Lu Li said, “Let’s call it… the City of Great Land!”
Lu Renhuang, Lu Zhengyang, and Patriarch of Law Enforcement preferred the City of Mystic Armor. After all, that was where it all started with the Lu Family. To rebuild a City of Mystic Armor represented that the Lu Family had taken another step forward.
However, Lu Li did not feel attached to the City of Mystic Armor. That city had brought him too many bad memories. Therefore, he decided to name the new city, City of Great Land, symbolizing that people from the Great Land could call the Earth Imperial Universe their home.
“That is a good name!”
“All hail my lord. All glory to the City of Great Land!”
“Yes. We are children of the Great Land. This is the City of Great Land. Young Master Li is warning us not to forget about our roots and remember our homeland. Grand Master has such visions. We admire it…”
Many people said in agreement. They used such pretty words. Maybe they would even say it was a good name if Lu Li named it the City of Nonsense.
“Grandpa, get everyone settled down. Ask Chen Tianxian and Blazing Huo if you have any questions.”
Lu Li waved his hand. Lu Zhengyang, Patriarch of Law Enforcement, and Jiang Tianshun went off while Lu Li, Lu Renhuang, Jiang Qiling, Bai Qiuxue, and Bai Xiashuang went to the Divine Imperial City.
In the city, looking at the empty streets, Lu Li asked with a frown, “Father, can the city… be a bit smaller?”
Lu Li wanted to turn this Divine Imperial City as Lu Family’s residence and no other families could come to live here. In this way, the Divine Imperial City could be kept perfectly safe in case there would be spies colluding with forces outside the city to breach in.
“Sure!”
Lu Renhuang nodded. “At the smallest scale, the city can have a radius of one-third of a mile and the largest it can reach has a radius of thirty miles.”
“Then make it smaller.”
Lu Li said, “Make it less than a mile. We can build some residents and mansions later and let all Lu Family disciples live here. Well… do not let it hover in the sky. To the north is a mountain. Let us settle the city on the mountain, and in the future, do not move the city unless necessary.”
“Sure!”
Lu Renhuang also thought it was too much to have a floating city. Lu Family had to develop in a low key now. Lu Family had a small population and to grow to the size of the Huo or Chen Family, it would take the Lu Family at least hundreds of years.
Lu Renhuang used psychic power to check. The mountain to the north was a suitable one, not far away from the City of Great Land. The distance between the two was merely several miles. Powerful warriors could cross that distance in an instant.
That mountain was steep but covered with flourishing plants. There were streams on the other side. With plants, water, and a city, it could make a nice place for long-term residence.
“Buzzing!”
The city began to move toward the mountain slowly. Arriving, Lu Renhuang flew up and cut at the peak.
The sharp sword was wielded. The blade scraped the peak. Lu Renhuang let the city shrink to a radius of a bit less than a mile. It was a suitable size for the peak.
Of course, with this action, some trees and flowers were ruined, and the river was blocked. The once beautiful view became ugly. But this was not serious. Someone could come later to recover the view.
“This is quite amazing!”
Lu Li came over with Jiang Qiling and the twins. Bai Xiashuang took a look and clapped her hands in joy. “Such a nice place. Darling, from now on, is this where we are going to live?”
Lu Li nodded. But Jiang Qiling and Bai Qiuxue’s minds were clouded. This was their residence from now on, but it was not Lu Li’s. Not long afterward, Lu Li would leave them to explore the Divinity all by himself.
Lu Li noticed what the two were thinking, but he did not say anything to them. Turning to Lu Renhuang, Lu Li said, “Father, I will leave the matter to you now. I will travel around with Qiling, Qiuxue, and Shuang-er. If you have any questions, ask Blazing Huo, the Deaf Taoist, and Chen Tianxian. I will let some of He Yue’s subsidiary bodies stay in the city. You can contact me if necessary.”
Lu Li was never fond of such trivial matters. The Earth Imperial Universe was a peaceful place now. None from the nine universes had the courage to mess up with him and the Lu Family. Therefore, Lu Li decided to free himself from such matters.
As a matter of fact, the Mage Imperial Universe and the other five minor ones were rather still unstable.
Huo Family left the Hippocrene Universe, which would cause a fight between the other local families there. Chen Family moved out of the Mage Imperial Universe. Yan Tiangang killed many Semi-God Realm warriors from the family that was ruling the Mage Imperial Universe. That family now found it harder to rule the Mage Imperial Universe so turmoil could be expected.
None of those matters was on Lu Li’s mind. He asked Blazing Huo to send a message for him, and Lu Li only wanted the Earth Imperial Universe. He would not worry about anything else. He would not intervene in the business of other places as long as nobody provoked him or the Lu Family. But anyone would have to face the consequences to have him angered.
When his words spread out, the situation in the other universes would become uncertain. For the time being, no family would be too bold. But in the long term, fights would break out again.
Lu Li had the ability to unify the nine universes. But who would have to guard such a large piece of territory? Who could manage it?
A man whose heart was not satisfied was like a snake which tried to swallow an elephant!
Greed could kill people. If he were to unify the nine universes, he would lead the Lu Family into an abyss of everlasting doom, unless he stayed in the nine universes for thousands of years without ascending to the Divinity.
Could he not ascend to the Divinity?
He wanted to explore the Divinity and test his strength, not to mention that he hoped to search for Lu Ling.
Warriors should never rest and must pursue the strong forever, having that hunger for empowering oneself. Without ambition, a warrior could only live a life without accomplishment and eventually die a boring death!
Since leaving the Di Long Tribe, Lu Li had never stopped his pursuit. He had fought every step to come to where he was standing today.
It had been many years and he was used to such a life. If he were to stop now and live his life in peace, he probably would lose his mind considering he had thousands of years ahead.
“Let’s go!”
Lu Li smiled at Jiang Qiling and the twins after thousands of moments have passed. He wanted to spend some quality time with them and then head toward the Prison of Wind to cultivate.
Last time in the Prison of Wind, something inspired him in that valley. At that time, if he were not interrupted and had kept going, he probably would have become an immortal by now.
This time, at the Prison of Wind, he would not stop cultivating until he became an immortal. He wanted to see it through in one go.
