Chapter 141: Chapter 126 Du You but Not Alone

Chapter 141: Chapter 126 Du You but Not Alone

Morning.

Zhao Rong was awakened again by the gentle swaying of the dragon ship.

He rubbed his eyes, propped himself up, and turned to look at the small window of the cabin.

Outside the window.

There was a vast expanse of white, with the faint green of the mountains and forests hidden within it.

A thick fog had risen above the great river.

Zhao Rong felt a bit cool and got out of bed, draping a thin robe over himself.

He turned to glance at Su Xiaoxiao, who was curled up in the blankets.

He had cultivated until late last night before sleeping, and yet this girl had sneaked in at midnight and crawled into his blanket, curling up in his arms to sleep for the whole night.

She had slept comfortably, but Zhao Rong was uncomfortable.

Because this silly girl couldn’t keep still even in sleep, he didn’t know if she was having a nightmare, but her little feet kept kicking around, nearly kicking Zhao Rong out of bed…

Zhao Rong gazed for a while at Su Xiaoxiao’s cute sleeping face, stretched out a finger, and gently touched her tender cheek, then pinched her delicate nose.

“Mm, Zhao Rong, mm, you big meanie…”

The little fox demon, with her eyes closed, not knowing what she was dreaming about, smacked her lips and lazily turned over.

Zhao Rong’s lips curled up slightly; he shook his head, reached out to tuck her tiny, fair feet back under the blanket, and covered her properly.

Then he closed the window that was letting in the cool breeze, stretched lazily, and went out the door.

Above the great river.

The twilight was heavy.

The rumbling of the river’s water continued, but Zhao Rong was already used to it.

Gazing into the distance.

The far-off scenery was hidden in the thick fog, with the morning sun peeking through the dense clouds.

Zhao Rong leaned against the railing, holding the Beautiful Jade at his waist, feeling its warmth in his palm as he stared into the unknown distance, somewhat spellbound.

Before long.

The fog seemed to be dispersed by the river wind, or perhaps chased away by the pale yellow early sun.

It dissipated slowly.

At a certain moment.

Zhao Rong, who was thinking of someone, was startled, and he suddenly clenched the Beautiful Jade in his hand.

He leaned on the railing, his body leaning forward, his eyes wide, straining to see as far as he could.

In the distance.

The sky met the earth in a single line.

That was.

A black line.

Zhao Rong’s heart stirred, and just as he was about to take a closer look.

Dang dang————!

The ancient bell on the dragon ship was struck.

This was… a signal reminding passengers they were about to reach their destination and to prepare to disembark.

In the sound of the morning bell, against the slightly cold river wind facing him.

Zhao Rong took a deep breath.

He stared unblinkingly at that black line.

Du You City.

Finally, he had arrived.

He patted the wooden railing, then suddenly looked back.

New n𝙤vel chapters are published on freeweɓnøvel.com.

Looking south.

Behind him.

It was the direction the wind had passed.

It was the boundless great river,

The numerous kingdoms beneath the mountains,

And the tens of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers in Wangque Continent.

This chasm-like distance.

Finally.

He had bridged it.

————

Wangque Continent is one of the three smaller continents among the Nine Provinces.

It is known by the Cultivation World as the most remote continent.

But this is not due to its geographic location.

If Central State is the center of the world.

And if the four big continents lie at the extreme east, south, west, and north of the world respectively.

Then Wangque Continent lies between Central State and Southern Tranquility State.

In terms of geographical location, it is not remote.

However.

In terms of transportation.

Wangque Continent had been isolated.

Besides Wangque Continent, between Central State and Southern Tranquility State,

There were also two other states.

They were Tunan Continent and Yun Meng Continent.

Yun Meng Continent and Wangque Continent were both among the smaller three states, with another of the small three located in the north of the Xuanhuang Realm.

As for Tunan Continent, it was the world-renowned transport hub just after Central State.

It was the largest state among the southern states and the one closest to Central State and Western Fu Yao Continent.

It was like a throat.

Several states above it wanted to go south, or those below wanted to travel north.

They almost all had to pass through it.

Tunan Continent and Yun Meng Continent were at the top left corner of Southern Tranquility State.

While Wangque Continent was situated alone at the top right corner of Southern Tranquility State.

Thus, the most prosperous southward maritime route started.

Departing from Central State or Western Fu Yao Continent, passing through Tunan Continent, reaching Yun Meng Continent, and then proceeding to Southern Tranquility State.

Finally, setting sail from Southern Tranquility State to Wangque Continent.

Therefore, Wangque Continent was considered the most remote state, the very end of the southward maritime route.

It was extremely close to Southern Tranquility State, but the cultivators from Southern Tranquility State were not very willing to go to Wangque, considering it a backwoods area.

Or rather, the sword cultivators of Southern Tranquility State, who were as numerous as clouds, always saw the southern states as poor relatives. Even the prosperous Tunan Continent was no exception.

Out of all the states in the world, the Nine Provinces, only the Western Fu Yao Continent, where Kun Du resided, and Central State, known for its vastness and as the rightful place of the Human Clan, caught their eyes.

Wangque Continent was separated from Central State by the sea.

But this sea was the widest in the Xuanhuang Realm.

Thus, one of the most remote places in the world and one of the most flourishing were almost completely cut off from each other by this boundless sea that hid untold dangers.

Only a very few large ships from the powerful factions of Du You City would cross the sea every few years using a harrowingly-found, relatively less dangerous route, braving the unknown risks to reach Central State directly.

The process was also quite troublesome and extremely time-consuming.

Therefore, the area of Du You City at the river mouth of Li River in the northernmost part of Wangque Continent, the most secluded continent among the Nine Provinces of the world,

was truly the Xuanhuang Realm’s end of the earth.

However,

this corner of the earth was also the most prosperous place on Wangque Mountain.

Here lay the largest city of cultivators in Wangque Continent, which could hold its own even among the peaks of Southern Tranquility State.

One of the four great Taiching lineages of the Human Clan, Taia Sword Pavilion, established a branch here, resembling a sharp sword hanging over the heads of cultivators across the state.

The largest two immortal sect gates in the north of Wangque Continent, Weiwei Mountain and Xinran Sect, were also established not far from Du You City.

The Taiching Four Mansions of Wangque.

The Confucian Linlu Academy.

Unique organizations from the Mo Family, Legalist, Daoist, and other Hundred Schools of Thought.

Worldly families of Wangque Mountain.

The main offices of various large business firms.

And so on.

All were located in Du You City and its vicinity.

Powers intersected intricately.

Cultivators came and went in an endless stream.

The bustle of ferry goods was like a hive of activity.

The situation within the city was extremely complex.

The far-flung You City was anything but secluded.

————

A hundred-zhang-long dragon ship gradually slowed down.

Preparing to dock on the western bank of the river.

The dragon ship did not berth within Du You City.

Almost no vessels could enter the city; they had to stop hundreds of miles outside the city.

On the dragon ship,

Zhao Rong and Su Xiaoxiao stood at the back of the crowded throng of disembarking passengers, waiting to get off.

From a high vantage point at that moment,

the river around them was teeming with more than a few countless ships of various sizes.

And on the green mountains along the shore, even more so were floating ferries of diverse designs.

Zhao Rong even saw a suspended mountain no less than a thousand zhang high.

They were either moored or moving.

Transporting cargo or carrying passengers.

The traffic was incessant, like carps crossing the river.

The riverbank was even more bustling with noise and excitement.

“Wow, so many houses, Zhao Lang, look, look, that mountain in the city is so tall and the colors are so beautiful!”

On the deck, Zhao Rong, who was looking around everywhere, followed the direction Su Xiaoxiao was pointing to.

He saw distant buildings within Du You City, stretching out like waves without end.

At a rough estimate, they spanned at least several thousand miles.

And as Zhao Rong knew, within Du You City, apart from the mountain-dwelling cultivators, there were millions of ordinary people alone.

Zhao Rong nodded his head, and couldn’t help but feel amazed in his heart.

He knew that this was not like his previous world, where cities with a population over a million were quite normal…
