Chapter 361: Journey to the Ten Sacred Domains!!!
“Ahhh, is that the entrance to the Ten Sacred Domains?!”
“Those are the ten strongest realms in the spirit world…”
“After ten years, I’ve returned for revenge!!!”
High above the endless clouds, a colossal bird, its massive wings blotting out the sky, soared through the air, thousands of tiny human figures visible on its back.
The giant bird’s passage created swirling vortexes of cloud and mist, its terrifying aura radiating outwards.
This was the exclusive Saint-rank transport spirit beast of the Ten Sacred Domains, circling the area daily, connecting the various realms, like a… public bus.
However, unlike a cheap bus ride, a ticket on this bird was incredibly expensive, the entry fee to the Sacred Domains even more so, beyond the reach of ordinary mortals.
And yet, despite the exorbitant cost, millions of young women still flocked here, hoping for a miracle.
How ridiculous. They must have read too many fantasy novels, thinking legendary beings would disguise themselves as low-rank cubs.
There were no low-rank spirit beasts in the Ten Sacred Domains. Even if they disguised themselves, they would choose a mid-rank form.
At this moment, several richly dressed young ladies stood at the front of the flying spirit beast, their voices filled with excitement, while a plainly dressed village girl gazed at the distant landscape, muttering to herself, lost in some dramatic internal monologue.
And a high-rank spirit beast, radiating a powerful, holy aura, glared at something ahead, its killing intent palpable.
If they hadn’t seen this countless times before, they would think its target was the Ten Sacred Domains themselves, not just some spirit beast that had stolen its territory.
But such scenes, whether played out by insignificant extras or ambitious protagonists, were commonplace in the Ten Sacred Domains.
As the giant bird soared through the clouds, seven massive gates, larger even than the horizon, appeared in the distance.
The Ten Sacred Domains weren’t directly connected, but their shared transportation hub was located here. Only seven gates were present, indicating that only seven of the Ten Sacred Domains were open to visitors.
“Approaching the entrance. Travel guides to the Ten Sacred Domains available! 10,000 spirit crystals per volume, upper and lower volumes sold separately!!”
“Approaching the entrance. Travel guides to the Ten Sacred Domains available! 10,000 spirit crystals per volume, upper and lower volumes sold separately!!”
A graceful, water-based, humanoid figure in uniform floated around the edges of the giant bird, repeating its sales pitch.
Even a high-rank Calamity Sea Spirit could only be a salesperson in the Ten Sacred Domains.
Hearing its sales pitch, the nearby passengers winced. 10,000 spirit crystals? That was highway robbery!
Why not sell yourself? You’re not even worth as much as that travel guide!
“I’ll take one!”
A curious female voice, and the Calamity Sea Spirit, its eyes lighting up, turned eagerly, the other passengers staring at the source of the voice as if she were a lunatic.
Even if you’re rich, there’s no need to be so wasteful…
A beautiful woman in a short, white bathrobe and white stockings that reached past her knees, leaned against one of the giant bird’s feathers, her blue hair flowing like water.
A small deer’s head rested on her lap, as if using her thighs as a pillow.
And it was indeed using her thighs as a pillow, though its master wasn’t human.
A small, white, fluffy, high-rank spirit beast, the White Velvet Snow Deer, napped peacefully on the blue-haired woman’s lap.
“I’ll take one,” Gong Lianyue repeated calmly, seeing the Calamity Sea Spirit’s stunned silence.
Unnoticed, Gong Lianyue, the Sorrowful Saintess, and the White Flower Moon-Treading Deer had begun their journey to the Ten Sacred Domains!
The white stockings she wore had been specially made for her by the White Flower Moon-Treading Deer’s Sea Breath Cradle, one of the Ten Sacred Waters, to… preserve her modesty.
Wearing just a bathrobe… well, it attracted too much attention, as if everyone was wondering if she was… going commando.
But with stockings, it was different. So what if she wasn’t wearing underwear? At least she had stockings on!
As expected, the other passengers’ gazes, instead of lingering on her nearly transparent bathrobe, were now focused on her smooth, white thighs and… upper regions, and Gong Lianyue inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.
Seriously, a high-rank White Velvet Snow Deer, spending 10,000 spirit crystals on a travel guide?
Dozens of puzzled gazes were now fixed on her.
As the Calamity Sea Spirit, its face beaming, approached, Gong Lianyue calmly pulled out a storage artifact and handed it over.
“Thank you. And here’s a little something extra, me. You can do whatever you want with it~~~”
“No, thank you! Please, just take it!”
Leaving behind two travel guides, the Calamity Sea Spirit, delighted with its successful sale, was shooed away.
It probably didn’t make a sale very often.
A shill, perhaps…? Under the passengers’ suspicious gazes, Gong Lianyue opened the travel guide.
Spirit crystals were just numbers to her now, easily obtained. There were beings she couldn’t defeat, but nothing she couldn’t afford.
