heng Tao using the Bi Jiao Pearl. Although his Jiu Lie Bird was seriously injured and unable to fight at the time, and there were some minor issues with his own cultivation, he still highly recognized...Only when they got close to the Tacyun City did they realize that it wasn't as prosperous as they had imagined. Like Hu Xiaofeng and the old man with a black staff, these few people were already quite prominent in Tacyun City. In the distance, they saw several immortals rising into the sky and flying outwards.

While it's called Tower Cloud City, there are no actual city walls. It's just an area roughly defined by these high and low stone towers. Crossing two planes and reaching Tower Cloud City, compared to the Moon Viewing Immortal Realm or some human cities in the Spirit Realm, this place seems relatively deserted. There are probably only tens of thousands of people here.
However, in terms of strength, just the city of Tayun possesses thousands of cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage and hundreds of Mahayana cultivators. Even if we don't include immortals, it is far beyond the spiritual realm of old. Lu Xia Tian roughly calculated the ratio, the proportion of cultivators who advanced from the Nascent Soul stage to Mahayana in the Immortal Realm was much higher than that in the Spirit Realm, mostly due to the influence of immortal spirit energy.
In the fairy world, a place like Ta Yun City is just a drop in the ocean. Even for cultivators like Hu Xiaofeng and the old man with the black staff, their travels are relatively limited, mostly within a few fairy cities and dangerous areas near Ta Yun City. They have not been to places too far away.
At this time, Lu Xiaoteng couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Before coming to Taoyun City, Lu Xiaoteng had thought he could get a general understanding of the fairy world, but after arriving in Taoyun City, he found that even Hu Xiao Feng and the black-staffed elder knew relatively little about the fairy world. They were mostly confined to a relatively small area. However, they had also heard of some powerful immortal sects, but they only knew their approximate location and were not clear about their specific positions.
"As for fellow cultivators from the East, allow me to explain. With my humble strength and that of the old man with the black staff, we are not powerful enough to venture far from Ta Yun City. The void is filled with treacherous celestial gales and unpredictable spirit storms. Even immortals like us would face a grave risk if we wandered aimlessly. Should we be caught in one, even our lives could be forfeit."
Hu Xiaofeng saw Lu Xiaottian's displeasure and explained with a wry smile, while also speculating on his background. This person was incredibly powerful, with the shadow of Mahakala Buddhist Monastery. He must have some background, among ordinary scattered immortals, but there are very few figures like this. However, from the current situation, it seems that he lacks experience commensurate with his strength.
Hu Xiaofeng and the old man with the black cane were both curious, but they didn't dare to ask too many questions.
As for Xu Ye Fei and Xu Su Xin, the two cultivators who merged together, Lu Xiao Tian actually returned all of his second uncle Xu Yuan Li's belongings to them. Items used by a cultivator at the Great Ascension Realm were not easily attainable for Xu Ye Fei and Xu Su Xin. Naturally, the two were filled with gratitude. However, they also realized that with their limited cultivation level, they couldn't provide any assistance to Lu Xiao Tian. Upon returning to Ta Yun City, they immediately bowed deeply to Lu Xiao Tian several times before departing.
"The friend from the East is indeed a kind person." The old man with the black staff praised.
"It was just a casual act of kindness towards these two siblings," Lu Xia Tian shook his head with a smile. "Could you two arrange a place for me to stay Something with abundant fairy spirit, I think I'll be staying in Taoyun City for a while."
“Miss Hu’s Minghu Residence is quite pleasant. If Daoist Dongfang doesn't mind, this humble woman is willing to give it to Daoist Dongfang.” said Hu Xiaofeng.
"That works for me." Lu Xia Tian nodded, settling the matter for now.
The streets of Ta Yun City were bustling with activity. Even in the fairy realm, these immortals and cultivators led lives that included eating, drinking, playing, and even had arenas and markets. Many cultivators set up stalls along the streets, exchanging items needed for their cultivation, such as pills, various spiritual materials, etc.
As soon as Lu Xiaoteng entered Taoyun City, he took a long look at the nine towers at the head from afar. He felt an inexplicable sense of oppression in his heart, and for a moment, he didn't know where this feeling of oppression came from.
Hu Xiaofeng's Minghu Ya Lake is an area covering hundreds of square miles. In this place surrounded by towers, only immortals and those with considerable power in Taoyun City could occupy such a large area. The spiritual energy here is stable and significantly stronger than other places, making it a prime location within Taoyun City. Of course, the most prestigious locations are still occupied by the Zhao Qifeng and Jiang Siming families.
Even Zhao Qifeng and Jiang Siming may not be in Tacyun City, there would still be one or two late Xian-stage cultivators guarding it. Those with wild ambitions would dare not provoke them easily. Lu Xiaoteng, being new here, naturally wouldn't even consider meddling with that. With his current strength, even while concealing his dragon form, he was nowhere near enough to contend with true immortals.
As for the residences of several late-stage Immortal cultivators in Taoyun City, they were somewhat better. However, even in the fairy world, where the strong prey on the weak, Taoyun City still had a certain order and hierarchy. There would be some disputes, but within the city, it hadn't reached the point where Immortals would seize power by force.
With Hu Xiaofeng's provision of Minghu Yaju, it was temporarily sufficient. At Minghu Yaju, Lu Xiaoteng sensed that most of the fairy spirit emanated from the ground. Around Minghu Yaju, there were still a few restrictions restraining the fairy spirit. Although they couldn't contain all the fairy spirit, they made the overall flow of fairy spirit in Minghu Yaju extremely slow.
“Deep beneath the surface, there is a small vein of celestial crystal ore. Through an underground framework, some of it transforms into fairy spirit energy and dissipates to the surface. This is the foundation upon which Ta Yun City exists.” Seeing Lu Xia Tian's surprised expression, Hu Xiao Feng smiled and explained.
"So that's how it is. There are quite a few powerful demons and fairies around Taoyun City, even some vicious monsters like ghosts, but they haven't threatened the safety of Taoyun City" Lu Xia Tian asked.
"Of course there are. Occasionally, cultivators or immortals who have gone through trials might kill the direct descendants of demon-cultivators or provoke groups of demons, leading to large-scale battles. The last time demon-cultivators attacked a city was over five hundred years ago. At that time, I had just ascended to immortality and almost perished in that battle."
Recalling the past, Hu Xiaofeng still shuddered. “It is said that over 20,000 years ago, a demon fairy massacred the city. Tens of thousands of cultivators in Tayun City and some immortals perished without a single survivor. Even true immortals fell. The numerous killings also gave rise to some ghosts, demons, devils, and ferocious beasts, but compared to the power of the demon fairy and Tayun City, they seemed rather insignificant.”
“The place beneath the Lei Chi pool of Wuhang is extremely dangerous, I'm sure that the monsters who have achieved immortality here are no weaker than those in Taoyun City.” Lu Xiaoteng said.

“It seems that my fellow cultivator from the East also feels it. We are not weaker, and perhaps even stronger. However, human cultivators are distributed everywhere. If the demon immortals cause too much commotion, they will easily attract the siege of some immortal sects, or even the attention of the heavenly court. Except for a very small number of extremely vicious demon immortals and demons, Ta Yun City generally won't face too great a threat.”
The old man with the black staff explained a few things, then shook his head helplessly. "Even for us immortals, most of us in Taoyun City are just scattered cultivators. Our lineages are disordered, and we lack the necessary resources. Confined to one place, most of us die without ever breaking free from this small world."
After finishing his speech, the old man with the black staff glanced at Lu Xiaodao and said, “Daoist Dongfang is truly extraordinary in his magical powers and lineage. He is definitely not an ordinary person. His future path to immortality is limitless and far surpasses that of old men like me.”at if the black sun covered the entire city and locked onto him, even if he wanted to escape, he wouldn't be able to.In a rush, Lu Xiaotian looked back. A large number of Qi refining cultivators were...
