Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 798 - Taiwu

Chapter 798 -798 Taiwu

Deep within the cave, the bonfire blazed.

A fierce beast, stripped of its fur, was skewered over the flames, its snow-white muscles licked by the intense heat as droplets of fat sizzled out continuously.

The air was filled with the thick scent of roasting meat.

Wang Chen turned today’s dinner over the fire and used a dagger to slice off a piece of beast meat charred to a golden brown, dipped it in a pinch of fine salt and purple pepper powder, then offered it to the White Fox beside him.

The White Fox bit into the meat, chewed a few times, and its beautiful fox eyes squinted contentedly.

Delicious!

Though Hu Jiaojiao was from the Monster Race, the celestial meals and Spirit Food she’d enjoyed before weren’t much different from those of human Cultivators.

After descending into the Foggy Mountain Realm and becoming a little fox, she could only eat raw meat and blood like her kin, which was unbearably bitter.

But to enhance her strength, she still had to eat her fill.

Now, at last, she had escaped that bitter life; following Wang Chen meant she no longer had to eat raw.

Moreover, Wang Chen’s culinary skills were quite remarkable. Even a simple barbecued beast meat, with a bit of seasoning, filled Hu Jiaojiao with a sense of happiness and satisfaction.

“Ying ying.”

She nudged her head against Wang Chen’s chest and then snuggled into his embrace.

In that moment, the little fox felt only joy and peace, wishing time could stand still forever.

Wang Chen felt her inner longing and smiled gently as he petted her fluffy tail.

The White Fox whimpered lightly.

“I really can’t understand you young people…

Elder Yao’s voice, rather spoiling the moment, rang out in his mind, “Have fun, but don’t delay the important matters.”

Wang Chen: “…”

Elder Yao continued, “If I’m not mistaken, the thing you’re looking for is in Taiwu.”

Wang Chen was startled.

In the Foggy Mountain Realm, ‘Taiwu’ usually referred to Taiwu Mountain, and Taiwu City, situated at the foot of the mountain, was not only the first city of the realm but also a Holy Land in the hearts of countless Martial Artists.

It was said that there was a world ranking of warriors in the city, where the names of the Innate Martial Artists would be recorded and automatically ranked.

It was quite magical.

Half a month ago, Wang Chen left Red Cliff City with Hu Jiaojiao and, guided by her, searched for the Mysterious Fox Order.

The Mysterious Fox Order, a Holy Object of the Green Hill Fox Tribe, created a very subtle Induction with Hu Jiaojiao after she descended into this realm, allowing her to discern the location of the treasure.

As Hu Jiaojiao’s strength wasn’t strong enough at first, and she had lost contact with Wang Chen, she didn’t dare act rashly.

For half a month, Wang Chen led her over mountains and through ridges, covering an unknown distance and encountering countless Fierce Beasts along the way.

Only now did Wang Chen realize that the place he was heading to was the premier city of the Foggy Mountain Realm.

At the very least, the direction he was headed was towards Taiwu Mountain!

Reminded by Elder Yao, Wang Chen asked the White Fox in his arms, “Jiaojiao, how far do you feel we are from the Mysterious Fox Order now?”

On the way here, Hu Jiaojiao’s Induction of the Mysterious Fox Order had become stronger and clearer.

However, as soon as Wang Chen finished speaking, Hu Jiaojiao got a sudden fright, the roasted meat in her mouth no longer appealing!

“Ying ying ying!”

In her anxiety, she waved her paws and yipped.

Wang Chen quickly calmed her.

After communicating, he learned that Hu Jiaojiao could no longer sense the Mysterious Fox Order now!

That made her extremely anxious.

You should know that the Mysterious Fox Order is the only hope she and Wang Chen have of returning to the Haotian Realm. Losing track of it would have unimaginable consequences!

“Don’t worry.”

While comforting the agitated White Fox, Wang Chen communicated with Elder Yao.

This Nascent Soul True Immortal had reincarnated twelve times in the Foggy Mountain Realm, so his experience and knowledge were naturally incredibly vast.

Regarding this, Elder Yao deduced, “Holy Objects have spirits. Since your little fox can sense this treasure, if they are very close to each other, the object is very likely to exhibit anomalies.”

“This thing is probably sealed by someone!”

Although the Foggy Mountain Realm is but a minor world, vastly inferior to the Haotian Realm, the highest Transcendent Entry Tao Cultivators here are merely the equivalent to minor Qi Cultivators in the Haotian Realm.

And they are of the middle to lower tiers.

Correspondingly, Cultivators and Magical Treasures that fall into this world are greatly restricted by its laws.

Taiwu Mountain is a martial Holy Land teeming with Innate experts and there are quite a few Transcendent Entry Tao Cultivators as well. It isn’t inconceivable that the person holding the Mysterious Fox Order has the means to temporarily seal it.

Given such a scenario, Elder Yao gave Wang Chen two pieces of advice.

The first was to wait, simply staying put in Taiwu City.

Wait for the day the seal breaks on its own, then accurately locate the Mysterious Fox Order and seize it by force.

The other method was to have Hu Jiaojiao advance in tier. Once she reaches the eighth or even the ninth tier, her Induction ability towards the Mysterious Fox Order might greatly enhance.

And then it would not be sealed by anyone!

Wang Chen found both suggestions very reasonable, so he repeated them to Hu Jiaojiao.

After listening, Hu Jiaojiao droopingly nodded her head.

Who could have anticipated such a twist!

The next morning, Wang Chen left the cave they had camped in, scaling the towering peak that stretched into the clouds.

A mighty mountain range, undulating like a dormant dragon, suddenly lay before his eyes!

What surprised Wang Chen was that he saw hardly any mist where his eyes could reach, including the vast plains beneath the mountain range. There, patchworks of fields and roads crisscrossed, farmhouses and villages were dotted about—it looked like a paradise on earth.

And a magnificent Bear City rose up against the mountain, stretching out for dozens of miles!

“This is Taiwu Mountain, Taiwu City.”

The voice of Elder Yao once again echoed in Wang Chen’s mind, carrying a hint of wistful nostalgia. “Back then, I studied and sought the Tao in this city, but unfortunately…”

Whatever the regret, Elder Yao did not continue.

But Wang Chen could feel that this Nascent Soul True Immortal’s emotions towards Taiwu City were complex, with even a hint of being overcome by emotions as he neared his homeland.

He packed up his belongings and had Hu Jiaojiao hide in the bag on his back.

Although there were professions similar to Beast Taming Masters in this world, and it was not strange for mortals to raise beasts, her current form was still too conspicuous.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, it was better to stay hidden.

Launching his movement technique, Wang Chen leapt from the mountaintop; his cloak flared out, and he plunged down like a hawk, swiftly passing over the dense forest below.

Soon, Wang Chen landed on a path leading to Taiwu City.

Looking ahead at the imposing city, he strode towards it.

Emerging from the forest, there were fields and manors all around the city, the number of passersby countless, allowing Wang Chen to experience the long-missed hustle and bustle of human life.

He noticed that among the people living here, very few were dressed in rags, thin and haggard. Most were strong and robust, dressed neatly, and their manners and conduct were proper and refined.

Among them were no shortage of formidable Samurai, their eyes gleaming, individuals at the stages of Blood Refinement and Marrow Refinement were everywhere.

Taiwu City was indeed extraordinary!
