Chapter 701: Stronghold Seventeen, Views In The Extraterritorial Region, The Barracks Gate
"This is Stronghold Seventeen."
Chu Kuangren observed as the passersby roamed around the streets that were flanked by rows of tenement inns. There were no stark differences between this place and any ordinary city.
However, he mobilized his Emperor Thought and soon noticed something strange about this place.
He realized that this city was not built on any ordinary land, but instead, the entire city was floating in space!
Having made the same observation, Emperor Jin Xuan gave Chu Kuangren a look before the duo dashed into the sky.
When Emperor Jin Xuan and Chu Kuangren approached peak height, they stumbled upon a formless barrier that separated the city from the rest of the universe. As they passed through the barrier, the first thing that greeted Emperor Jin Xuan and Chu Kuangren was the convoluted streams of spiritual qi.
The spiritual qi streams held myriad forms of qi within them. Any ordinary cultivator would struggle to even survive in the middle of the spiritual qi stream, what more to absorb them.
Fortunately, Emperor Jin Xuan and Chu Kuangren were both Emperors who would not be affected by the spiritual qi stream.
The spiritual qi stream was the least of their surprise.
In the midst of the cold, isolated universe, the remarkable stronghold floated below them.
From the inside, the city seemed like it was built just like any others. Yet, from the outside, the city was protected by layers upon layers of fortification that formed a dark enormous fortress wall!
The fortress wall was carved with countless runes. They also noticed that there were several powerful cultivators stationed above these walls.
"So this is Stronghold Seventeen?"
"Wow, what a magnificent city."
"Look, over there."
Emperor Jin Xuan exclaimed as he pointed into the distance.
Chu Kuangren looked over.
In the distance, they saw a planet covered in shades of white and blue. It was the Firmament Star!
The entire Firmament Star was enveloped in a thin layer of golden forcefield, which Daoist runes hovered on its surface. They were designed to protect this planet from danger.
Chu Kuangren inhaled deeply and cast his Emperor Thought as far and wide as it could go. He noticed that apart from Stronghold Seventeen, there were also several other similar strongholds within a billion kilometers radius.
From what Chu Kuangren understood, the great ones of Firmament Star had built a total of eighty-one strongholds to guard its own territory outside of Firmament Star.
"Haha, we’re in the Extraterritorial Region now. I can already feel my heart pumping!" Emperor Jin Xuan exclaimed with excitement.
As he stared at the planet where he was born, the thought of fighting a war for his homeland inspired him to no end.
"Let’s head back."
Chu Kuangren suggested.
In a flash, he returned to the teleportation camp of Stronghold Seventeen.
"Hey, newcomer."
A cultivator near the camp noticed Chu Kuangren and Emperor Jin Xuan’s arrival. From their expressions and demeanor, he could tell that they had just arrived from out of the region.
"Yes." Emperor Jin Xuan nodded.
"Newcomers, please report yourselves at the barracks. Once you’ve obtained your soldier tag, you’ll officially begin your journey here in Stronghold Seventeen. I wish you all the best."
