Chapter 526: Chapter 344 "Twin City World
According to Wei Lingshan, the ’Iron-Armed Golden Ape’ Long Zhenfang in the "Earthly List" ranks at 108, with 705 Heavenly Ladder Points, while Wang Zhengyi has 600 points, already very close to the "Earthly List".
Yan Chuan only has a little over three hundred points.
However, the ’Double Rank’ Ladder Points differ from ’Solo Queue’. When Yan Chuan teams up with Wang Zhengyi, the ’Double Rank Ladder Points’ are recalculated, marking a fresh start.
Starting from zero!
...
Time flies.
In a blink, it is already mid-month.
The bonus for this month comes a day later than usual.
August 16th.
The Ministry of Revenue sent the second installment of six thousand jin of Essence Stones.
Now, Yan Chuan has accounted—
Last month’s six thousand jin of Essence Stones were distributed, and after taking some, including those belonging to the Yan Chuan Team itself, the remaining total, temporarily held by Yan Chuan, is approximately two thousand jin.
Adding the one thousand one hundred jin of Essence Stones mined by Chen Ze and others from Ma Hongniang’s Lu Ti Mountain, gradually stored with Yan Chuan, along with the two thousand jin of Essence Stones placed with Yan Chuan by Wang Zhengyi.
Plus this installment of six thousand Essence Stones.
The total amount of Essence Stones Yan Chuan has reached over eleven thousand jin, finally meeting the Gathering Treasure Basin ’interest’ requirement, gaining a hundred jin of interest daily.
Yan Chuan rejoices, then takes out one thousand Essence Stones, diving into the ’Heavenly Ladder City’.
This time!
Fight to the fullest!
...
Ten days later.
Yan Chuan, exhausted yet excited, steps out of the Earth Gate—
Qinggong:
[Wave Riding Micro Steps: Sixth Realm Refining Fire (37) +8]
[Ladder Cloud Jump: Sixth Realm Refining Fire (29) +3]
[Shadowy Charm: Sixth Realm Refining Fire (18) +3]
[Heaven and Earth Net Formation: Sixth Realm Refining Fire (17) +4]
...
Fist and Feet:
[Seven Injuries Fist: Sixth Realm Refining Fire (22) +4]
[One Yang Finger: Sixth Realm Refining Fire (20) +5]
[Yin Yang Mill: Sixth Realm Refining Fire (12) +3]
...
Weapons:
[Dugu Nine Swords: Sixth Realm Refining Fire (33) +7]
...
Special:
[Lion Roar: Sixth Realm Refining Fire (44) +4]
[Ghost Prison Yin Wind Roar: Sixth Realm Refining Fire (71) +6]
...
In ten days!
Yan Chuan harvested richly, with each Absolute Skill increasing by as much as seven or eight skill levels, at least three or five, comparable to three to five months of structured cultivation outside!
Rapid progress!
Yan Chuan is delighted!
And just as he emerged—
"Old Yan, there’s a task that’s too difficult. I’ve been stuck for two rounds without a clue. Are you interested?" Wang Zhengyi awaited Yan Chuan, inviting him while adding, "I’ll provide the Essence Stones!"
A task!
This is a mode unique to the ’Underground City’.
’Underground City’ tasks last ten days per round, two rounds are twenty days, equating to two thousand Essence Stones!
This Old Wang!
He really has money!
Yan Chuan is naturally interested in Wang Zhengyi’s invitation.
Heavenly Ladder City!
Underground City!
These are two modes.
’Heavenly Ladder City’ involves the ’clone’ entering, matching with over ten million masters of Mo Yin Continent, with no life-threatening risks, consuming one hundred jin of Essence Stones daily.
’Underground City’, however, involves the ’true body’ entering, with numerous small worlds forming the ’Underground City World’, some peaceful, some perilous, but even the most peaceful Underground City World poses some risk due to the ’true body’ involvement, requiring a one-off investment of one thousand jin of Essence Stones for each ten-day exploration.
More perilous!
Greater investment!
"But the rewards are greater, too!"
Wang Zhengyi started exploring twenty days ago, ambitious upon entry, directly challenging the ’difficult’ mode, only to be firmly stuck on the first task, uncertain when it would be completed.
Thinking it over.
He realized he might have hope with Yan Chuan’s assistance.
Hence, a warm invitation, with all Essence Stones covered.
Wang Zhengyi’s sincere invitation left Yan Chuan no reason to refuse. After a brief understanding of the task details and the Underground City World’s situation, Yan Chuan consented.
Two days.
August 28th.
The two joined hands, venturing into the ’Underground City’ together!
...
[Dynasty: Yu Fang]
[Region: Mo Yin]
[King City: Tan Valley]
[Code: Black Wind Double Kill]
[Members: Wang Zhengyi, South Sea Crocodile God]
[Heavenly Ladder: 303]
[Rounds: 4]
...
Yan Chuan and Wang Zhengyi’s Double Rank combination, code-named ’Black Wind Double Kill’, played four rounds, with 303 Heavenly Ladder Points, just meeting the minimum standard for Double Rank Underground City exploration.
In Heavenly Ladder City.
Yan Chuan and Wang Zhengyi stand side by side, options before them—
[1. Order World]
[2. Chaotic World]
[3. Nightmare World]
[4. Death World]
...
In the ’Underground City’, countless worlds exist, generally divided into four categories—
The first category ’Order World’, similar to Great Yan, maintains order.
The second category ’Chaotic World’, akin to environments like Cang Mountain Sword Discussion’s forty-seven, fifty-seven, and sixty-seven, where unimaginable phenomena and creatures exist, with rampant monsters, bizarre threats, and chaos.
The third category ’Nightmare World’, a high-difficulty ’Chaotic World’, where entrants face nine lives and one death.
The fourth category ’Death World’, certain death with no life, for those with a death wish, or those confident in their resilience, best left unthought of by ordinary people.
Though reckless, Wang Zhengyi cautiously chose the ’Order World’ for his first world selection.
Now, with Yan Chuan alongside, they are undertaking Wang Zhengyi’s world and task—
...
[Name: Twin Cities World]
[Introduction: In the White Bird Sacred Land and Red Moon City, martial masters and abnormal people, nobles and gangs, all find themselves shackled by a disintegrating society, with unrest brewing naturally. As tensions near boiling point, a group of Lower City youths, holding a ’Divine Artifact’ fallen from Upper City, form an organization named ’Dark Star Association’, attempting to overthrow this twisted world. Truth and crisis intertwine, birthing heroes as bonds shatter. Will this force renew the world or lead it to destruction?]
