Chapter 182: The Speed of the Monkey King The
Jidao Saint Sect occupies an extremely large area, and the outer 100,000 miles of the Supreme Sect Protection Formation is an unmanned restricted area.
People and towns can only be found one hundred thousand miles away. One hundred thousand miles is an exaggerated distance for mortals, but it is nothing for monks.
The reason why this restricted area was designated is because of the Holy Sect’s supreme protective formation.
This formation is running all the time, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. This is one of the reasons why the spiritual energy in this 100,000-mile restricted area is extremely thin.
The second reason was that the power of the formation was too terrifying. Although all the power was restrained and not leaked out at all, an invisible aura spread uncontrollably around.
Under the oppression of this terrifying aura, not to mention mortals, even cultivators would feel panic-stricken, as if a mountain was pressing down on their hearts. This area is simply not suitable for long-term survival.
For high-level cultivators, crossing a mere 100,000 miles is as easy as crossing a "threshold" before leaving the house for ordinary people. Therefore, the Holy Sect does not care about the existence of this restricted area. Anyway, it has no impact on the travel of the Holy Sect's people.
With the help of the certificate in the bracelet, Bai Donglin successfully left the Holy Sect.
Gazing from afar with the wind, there is an endless primeval forest with towering trees and countless mindless beasts living in it.
Strangely enough, these beasts without intelligence can ignore the oppressive aura of the Supreme Sect Protection Array, while the monsters with intelligence will stay away from this restricted area.
Bai Donglin took out Shang Zhong's token jade pendant. This jade pendant was activated after he left the sect. It emitted a faint white light and was faintly connected to a breath in the distance.
After concentrating his mind and locking the location, Bai Donglin did not stay for long. He took a step and was a thousand miles away.
With his current level of cultivation, he can now cross a thousand miles in one step by performing the technique of "A World Away in a Single Step". This speed can be considered extremely fast, after all, this description is very vague.
For example, the legendary Monkey King Sun Wukong can travel 108,000 miles with one somersault. For Sun Wukong's level of cultivation, this speed must be very slow. That's because the description is too vague. Distance divided by time equals speed. There is no reason to use somersaults to describe speed.
Therefore, everyone has overlooked a question, that is, frequency. How long does it take for a mortal to do a somersault? Let's say one second.
So Sun Wukong's speed should be billions of miles per second , which is reasonable and worthy of the status and cultivation of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven.
Bai Donglin's stepping frequency is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary people. His steps are like phantoms, and in the blink of an eye he has crossed the 100,000-mile restricted area.
This 100,000-mile restricted area is really no different from a "threshold".
After crossing the Holy Sect's restricted area, Bai Donglin could already sense the presence of numerous human beings. Huge cities stood between heaven and earth, with people surging and the atmosphere complex.
Following the guidance of the jade pendant, after walking tens of thousands of miles, Bai Donglin stopped in front of a huge city.
Youlan City is one of the four sub-cities under the main city of Taihao, one of the 1,008 main cities in the Wilderness. It covers a large area and has a population of over 100 million.
Shang Zhong's breath was guiding him inside this city. Bai Donglin pondered for a moment, took off the Saint Sect uniform on his body, changed into a black robe, and put the Jidao bracelet into his body to hide his breath.
Shang Zhong is so mysterious. It is better to hide his identity before knowing the reason.
With a flick of his sleeves, the aura lingered around him, blocking out the perception of the people around him and the city guards, he walked through the deep city cave and entered the Youlan City.
The bustling and quaint streets are full of the atmosphere of a long time. The city is bustling with people coming and going, shoulder to shoulder, and full of noise.
Over the years, Bai Donglin, who has been practicing and fighting, has not experienced this kind of worldly atmosphere for a long time.
I slowed down my pace unconsciously and carefully observed and felt everything around me.
Compared with the White City where he had lived for many years, the Youlan City was not only larger and more prosperous, but also had a larger number of cultivators.
Their proportion even slightly exceeds the number of ordinary people, although most of them have just entered the stage of body refining and only know some rough body refining secrets. Even their dantian has not been opened, so they cannot be considered real cultivators.
Perhaps these people just want to keep fit. After all, cultivation requires talent. Bai Donglin thought as he walked towards the city.
After passing the outer city and entering the inner city, the flow of people is much smaller and the noise is much weaker.
Mortals are even rarer in this inner city. Almost all of them are monks with cultivation skills. The things sold in the surrounding shops have also become various materials needed for the monks' cultivation.
From time to time, teams of black-armored guards ran by. These soldiers had a sinister aura and all had strong cultivation skills.
After all, they were all facing monks. Fighting among monks was forbidden in the city, and they needed to maintain order and intimidate these unruly monks, which could not be done without absolute force.
After getting a rough understanding of the structure and operation of the city, Bai Donglin no longer wanted to continue strolling around and gradually quickened his pace.
After a while, he arrived in front of a quiet house. Just as he was about to knock on the door, the door opened automatically and the person who opened it was Shang Zhong.
"Hahaha, Donglin, you're finally here, come on, come in quickly!"
Shang Zhong sensed the approach of the token jade pendant and hurriedly opened the door. When he saw Bai Donglin, his eyes suddenly lit up and he greeted Bai Donglin enthusiastically.
"Sorry to have kept Deacon Shang waiting for a long time." Bai Donglin said with a slight gesture, then walked into the courtyard side by side with Shang Zhong. He was a little uncomfortable with the old man's enthusiasm.
"Hey, Donglin, don't be so formal. Calling me Deacon is too strange. If you don't mind, just call me Uncle Zhong!"
"I dare not. I'd better call you Mr. Shang."
Bai Donglin's fingers trembled slightly. This old man was tens of thousands years older than him. It was only the second time they met, so it was too strange to call him uncle.
Moreover, the relationship is too close, so it’s hard to ask for benefits!
Shang Zhong showed a hint of disappointment in his eyes, and it was not a good idea to insist. The two of them sat down in the hall, and then a servant served them spiritual tea.

Seeing that Shang Zhong didn't say anything, Bai Donglin didn't ask any questions. He slowly tasted the spiritual tea in his hand. Anyway, he was not in a hurry and could keep his composure. It should be Shang Zhong who was anxious.
"Ahem, Donglin, there is a reason why I called you out in this way. Indeed, I did not explain the matter of the Alchemy Conference to you clearly last time."
A look of assurance flashed in Bai Donglin's eyes. He put down the spiritual tea in his hand and motioned Shang Zhong to continue.
Shang Zhong had a complicated expression, and after a moment's silence, he continued, "Participating in the Dan Dao Conference this time is actually just my personal opinion, and has nothing to do with the Holy Sect."
"Also, we need to hide our identities and cannot attend the Alchemy Conference as disciples of the Holy Sect."
Bai Donglin looked surprised. Jidao Shengzong was a well-known and upright sect, and it was also a holy place for physical cultivation. Why did they need to hide when attending an alchemy conference? "Master Shang, why is this?"
Shang Zhong took a sip of the spiritual tea, his eyes filled with memories, he put down the teacup and said, "In the last Alchemy Conference, my master, who is now the head of Danding Peak, led the team."
"There was some unpleasantness at the beginning. My master had a bad temper and ended up fighting at the venue..."
"So, hey!"
After Shang Zhong finished speaking, he sighed, his expression showing five parts of self-blame, three parts of guilt, and two parts of unwillingness.
Looking at Shang Zhong performing the fan diagram, Bai Donglin guessed the cause and effect in the blink of an eye.
It seems that Shengzong had a falling out with the Dan League, which hosted the Dandao Conference. Either the Dan League revoked Shengzong's qualification to participate in the Dandao Conference, or Shengzong voluntarily gave up the qualification for the sake of face.
The result is what is happening now. If one wants to participate in the Alchemy Conference, one has to hide one's identity from both the Alchemy Alliance and the Holy Sect.
The reason why Shang Zhong acted on his own was simply because he was unwilling to accept his fate, or he wanted to avenge his master and save his face.
It seems that Shang Zhong is very obsessed. The conflict with the Dan League may be related to him. No wonder they are willing to give him such a precious thing.
Bai Donglin, who had figured out everything, didn't care. He didn't care about these bullshit things. He just came here to make some extra money. He waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Shang. I don't care whether you hide your identity or not. I don't care about the past between the Holy Sect and the Alchemy Alliance. I promised you that I would naturally go to the Alchemy Conference."
Shang Zhong's eyes lit up when he heard this. He was really afraid that Bai Donglin would become worried after hearing the truth and give up the deal with him.
After all, it is understandable that an ordinary disciple would not dare to get involved in the dirty dealings between the two top forces.
“Hahaha, okay!”
"Donglin, I was right about you!"
