Lin Xuan teleported at lightning speed, reaching the outskirts of Qianyang County in the shortest possible time.
Looking at the vast and ancient city before him, Lin Xuan couldn't help but sigh.
Although it is just a county town, the scale of Qianyang County is really too big. Its area is comparable to an asteroid, and its permanent population easily exceeds one billion. This is not just a city, it is simply a world!
"Given its immense scale, just how large is the Xuanhuang Continent? What is the connection between this world and the future cosmic era?"
Lin Xuan's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he murmured to himself, "In the future cosmic era, the vast Milky Way and the boundless universe contain billions of stars, but in this era there is only one world. Why is there such a big difference?"
Or is it that this era actually contains endless worlds, but I'm simply not at a high enough level to see them?
Lin Xuan was very puzzled by this, as he had never heard of any otherworld in the ancient era; it seemed that this world was the only one. This was vastly different from the cosmic era of later generations.
"How exactly did the ancient era disappear? And what happened in the subsequent ancient, medieval, and early modern periods?"
Lin Xuan was puzzled; he couldn't figure it out at all.
That's why he was so eager to join the Sky Patrol Division and become a Sky Patrol Guard.
Only in this way could he quickly enter the upper echelons of the Great Zhou Dynasty and learn more information. In the future cosmic era, the ancient powerhouse who awakened in the Blood Sea World must have some grand plan. He vaguely sensed that it was a huge plan and an unparalleled opportunity.
"Qianyang County Town..."
After muttering something to himself, Lin Xuanren had already entered this vast and ancient city.
A city with a permanent population of over one billion naturally has a unique charm. Its most prominent feature is its sheer number of people. At a glance, the streets are a sea of black, much like the grand spectacle one only sees during festivals in later universe eras.
The wide streets are lined with all kinds of shops, selling everything imaginable.
Many rare medicinal herbs and materials that are extremely precious in the Eastern Wilderness are quite common here. However, Lin Xuan had no interest in looking at these things at the moment, and instead walked along the street towards its end.
This street connects to the central square of Qianyang County. The county's teleportation array is located in the center of Guangcheng, which is Lin Xuan's true destination.
Lin Xuan traveled at breakneck speed, moving like a ghost across the streets, and soon arrived at the central square at the end of the street. In the middle of the square, a massive altar stood, with a beam of light shooting into the sky from it, as if piercing through space and disappearing into the endless ages.
This is not only a teleportation array, but also a long-distance teleportation array.
Lin Xuan only needed one glance to understand the teleportation array. In fact, with his mastery of array formations, he could also set up such a large teleportation array, but it would require a lot of resources and time.
Moreover, a single teleportation array is meaningless. You don't know the coordinates of where you want to teleport, meaning there is no corresponding receiving point. You can only teleport randomly, so such a teleportation array is not very useful.
Therefore, Lin Xuan could only come to Qianyang County to take the teleportation array and then head to Qingyun Prefecture City.
By this time, a considerable number of people had gathered in the square, seemingly waiting to board the teleportation array. It appeared that not enough people had yet been gathered, hence the wait.
Such large-scale teleportation arrays for long-distance travel consume an enormous amount of energy; a single teleportation could require tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones, or even more. Naturally, they wouldn't be activated exclusively for any one individual.
Of course, if you can book the whole place by yourself, that's a different story.
Lin Xuan was able to produce so many high-grade spirit stones. Compared to the Eastern Wilderness and the later universe era, the spirit stones in the Xuanhuang Ancient Kingdom were obviously more precious and had greater purchasing power. Ten thousand high-grade spirit stones was already a huge sum of money, enough to make many people change color.
Lin Xuan didn't want too much attention, so he naturally wouldn't stand out from the crowd.
After casually asking someone about the pricing, Lin Xuan readily went to a large hall in a corner of the square and bought a teleportation ticket to Qingyun City.
As expected, it's ridiculously expensive; a single ticket costs a thousand high-grade spirit stones.
Keep in mind that each teleportation involves at least a hundred people, and the resources consumed are around ten thousand high-grade spirit stones. The rest is all profit. That's at least ten times the profit; it's incredibly lucrative.
"Damn, such high profits! Monopoly businesses are definitely the most lucrative."
Lin Xuan muttered to himself, and couldn't help but purse his lips.
Holding his ticket, Lin Xuan arrived at an ancient pavilion in the square. The pavilion was large enough to accommodate over a hundred people. However, there were only about seventy or eighty people inside at the moment. These were all heading to Qingyun City. The teleportation would only be activated when a hundred people had gathered, or when the designated time had arrived.
Of course, there were quite a few people in the square. Besides Lin Xuan and his group, there were many other people in other directions who had also been teleported.
It's just going to other places.
This teleportation array connects not just Qingyun Prefecture City, but all the cities in the entire state that have teleportation arrays. As long as you can afford the price, you can travel to the state city without any problem.
Lin Xuan had no intention of going to the state capital, even though he could also participate in the Sky Patrol Guard assessment there.
However, Lin Xuan's Sky Patrol Iron Token corresponds to Qingyun Prefecture City, because it is an iron token issued by the Qingyun Prefecture Sky Patrol Division. It is of no use in the prefecture city, as the prefecture city's Sky Patrol Division will not recognize it.
"The Sky Patrol Division..."
Lin Xuan muttered to himself, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. He glanced at everyone in the pavilion without making a sound, and without bothering to greet anyone, he casually found a place to sit down and meditate, waiting for the number of people to gather or for the time to come, so that he could activate the teleportation array and head to Qingyun City.
However, he had no interest in others, but others were very interested in him. As soon as Lin Xuan arrived, everyone in the pavilion turned their attention to him. Some of them only glanced at him and then looked away, just like Lin Xuan looked at them. They didn't pay any attention to him or even think about greeting him.
However, a small group of people had been observing Lin Xuan all along.
Among this small group, three people were clearly very curious about Lin Xuan, and their gazes toward him were quite different, with a subtle glint in their eyes.
Soon, a person walked towards Lin Xuan with a smile.
"Brother, what's your name? Judging from your appearance, are you also from Qingyun City participating in the Sky Patrol Guard assessment?" This was a shrewd-looking young man who, without waiting for Lin Xuan to speak, sat down beside him and chuckled, "My name is Yu Fei, from Muyun City. I'm also going to Qingyun City to participate in the Sky Patrol Guard assessment..."
