Wudu laughed when he heard this and said: "With Senior Zhan's strength, it is not an exaggeration to go to the central part of the country and become the lord of a city."
Zhan Chen wanted to say that he was not interested in being a city lord, but he suddenly thought of it and asked, "What are the benefits of being a city lord?"
"Of course there are benefits. First of all, you will get all the income of this giant city. There is no need to hide it from you. The net income of a small city like ours can reach one million top-quality immortal stones in a year, and that of a large city can reach ten million.
Above, some giant cities can have more than 50 million."
Zhan Chen was shocked and said: "The profits are so huge!"
"It's just that we, the Immortal Stones, need to spend what we earn. If we encounter a tide of beasts like today, we will need to repair the city wall, which is a big expense. Also, every ten years, we have to ask the city-state
The alliance’s council will hand over one million top-quality fairy stones.”
“What is a city-state alliance?”
"The City-State Alliance is an organization formed by the union of many city-states. It is divided into five city-state alliances on the chaotic ancient continent, namely our Southern Alliance, Eastern Alliance, Western Alliance, Northern Alliance, and Central Alliance. Each alliance has
There are many members, for example, our Southern Alliance is composed of 3,600 city-states, and the City-State Alliance Council is composed of the city lords of the most powerful city-states in the alliance who have been unanimously elected."
"One million top-quality immortal stones is already a big sum. What will happen if we don't exchange them?" Zhan Chen asked curiously.
"If you don't hand it in, you will be warned by the Alliance Council and you need to hand it in immediately. If you ignore the warning from the Alliance Headquarters, you will be revoked as the city lord."
"Didn't anyone resist?"
"How can you resist? The members who can serve as members of the council are all powerful people with great strength. We can only obey."
"We can't wait until they take action, otherwise we city lords will be dead."
"I see, what is the function of this council?"
"It is mainly responsible for reviewing the qualifications for the City Lord Challenge. For example, if an expert like you wants to become the City Lord of a huge city, he must first apply to the Council and get approval from one of the members. Then he can start the challenge. By the way
, a challenge by a city lord is a life and death battle, so never challenge a city lord who exceeds your own strength."
"So that's it."
"In addition, the Alliance Council is also responsible for deciding external conquests." "Does your city-state also have external conquests?"
"Yes, the most important thing is to fight against some threatening monster groups, eliminate hidden dangers, and prevent them from engulfing our city."
Having said this, Wu Du's eyes showed a hint of fear, and he continued: "Senior, you may not know the terror of the army of monsters composed of ancient barbarians. When the number is large, it can even reach tens of millions. Among them, the powerful existence,
It will take several demon kings or your all-powerful masters to join forces to subdue them. The strength of the ancient barbarians is actually far better than that of humans and demons, but they have little intelligence and do not know how to make better use of their own power.
"
Zhan Chen still couldn't understand Wudu's fear of ancient barbarians, but he had once fought a decisive battle with the sea viper, dragon python, and the power of this monster left a deep impression on him.
"In addition, city-state alliances often launch alliance wars or alliance competitions for some interests. The alliance council is also responsible for mobilizing city-states to participate in the war."
"It seems that the Alliance Council has quite a lot of power."
"Yes, the members of the Alliance Council are also elected regularly, usually once every ten thousand years."
"But what if the review committee members are unable to participate in the election because they are in retreat?"
"Then it will be considered a waiver and his spot will be given to someone else."
Zhan Chen nodded, having a general understanding of the city-state's lord.
"Senior, as I said before, with your strength you can go to the Central Alliance and capture a huge city."
“Is the Central Alliance particularly strong?”
"That's natural. There are more than 5,300 cities in the Central Alliance. To become the lord of a city there, you must at least have the Dzogchen Dharmakaya cultivation. The Central Alliance is also the strongest and can command the entire chaotic ancient times.
land."
"If that's the case, then I'd rather go there to see it."
"Senior, don't be impatient. Let's rest here for a few days before we leave."
Zhan Chen accepted his suggestion, and Wudu entertained him with good wine and food every day. Three days later, Zhan Chen finally set off for the Central Alliance.
Although the area of Chaos Ancient Continent is only one-third that of Wanfa Continent, it takes much more time to move on the continent than Wanfa Continent. The main reason is that the distance between cities in Chaos Ancient Continent is
There is no teleportation array in the world, so you can only rely on flying or even walking.
Zhan Chen initially chose to fly there, but he found that he ran into trouble every time he went there. It turned out that the Chaos Ancient Continent was the world of ancient barbarians, and the sky was no exception, and there was no cover in the sky.
He was easily spotted by birds, and many monsters spotted Zhan Chen flying in the air and immediately pounced on him to attack him.
Moreover, these ancient barbarians were more threatening than the birds on Wanfa Continent, and they were not afraid of death. They killed one batch and came back again, which made Zhan Chen extremely annoyed.
In the end, Zhan Chen simply landed on the ground and chose to go on foot. Although the speed would be slower, the advantage was that he could hide his presence and not be easily discovered by these monsters.
He traveled through mountains and rivers for nearly half a year before finally crossing the entire area controlled by the Southern Alliance and arriving at the border of the Central Alliance. And this place is also very different from the area controlled by the Southern Alliance.
The atmosphere of chaos in the air here seems to be more intense, closer to the characteristics of the time when the world was just born, when the sky and the earth were first opened, and the purity and turbidity were not separated. The trees in the middle part of the chaotic ancient continent are also more towering than the edges of the continent, with an average height of
Reached 800 meters!
In the woods, ancient wild creatures with terrifying figures can be seen everywhere, making the wilderness almost a restricted area for the human and demon tribes. Only huge city-states can bring people such a sense of security here.
The giant cities here are also very different from those of the Southern Alliance that we saw before Zhan Chen. They are built with multiple layers inside and outside, not only the outer city, but also the inner city. There are also many tall fortresses built in the city.
Various mechanisms are set up to effectively kill the invading ancient barbarians.
In addition, teleportation spiritual formations have also begun to be set up between giant cities, so that when one encounters a tide of beasts, one side is in trouble and all directions can rush to help.
After visiting several giant cities here, Zhan Chen finally chose a city called Xiaoyao City to settle down. The reason why he chose this city was that he found that there were very many human races in Xiaoyao City, and they were known for their...
The main ones are righteous monks, and the city lord of Xiaoyao City is called Xiao Yao, which is similar to the name of Xiaoyao City. He has the same basic level of cultivation as himself.
Zhan Chen did not follow what Wu Du said and wanted to challenge the city lord to seize the so-called city lord position. He just wanted to ask around here first to see if he could get any information about the auction.
But Zhan Chen didn't find him, but they found him. Just when he settled in a hotel, the city lord named Xiao Yao also came one after another.
