Chapter 33: The Ancient City of Wind Howl

The two chatted as they walked, and time passed quickly.

Through their conversation, Gune gained a new understanding of the Divine Arena on the Floating Blazing Sky Continent, their destination.

Gune's current location was the vast and boundless continent of Zrumo in Saint Heigar.

Upon this expansive high-dimensional transcendent continent, there were seven Ruler Nations.

There were over a hundred large divine nations.

And countless medium and small divine nations.

As far as the Zrumo Continent was concerned,

even a medium divine nation was far more powerful than the Aelist Divine Source Nation.

This showed the majesty and vastness of the high-dimensional transcendent world, Saint Heigar.

Among them, the Floating Blazing Sky Continent was a floating continent near the center of the Zrumo Continent.

Its area was comparable to half of a large transcendent world.

The Divine Arena within the Floating Blazing Sky Continent was renowned across the entire Zrumo Continent for its life-and-death battles.

Life-and-death battles.

Two combatants fought, a contest of life and death.

The victor lives, the vanquished dies.

This was one of the iron rules of the Divine Arena.

Many talented geniuses and powerful warriors wished to go to the Floating Blazing Sky Continent to hone their skills and compete with numerous geniuses, hoping to make a name for themselves in the Divine Arena.

However, due to the ironclad rule of life-and-death contests, many geniuses fell in the Divine Arena.

At the same time, many geniuses gained fame there, even being noticed by the gods of the Ruler Nations and recruited as core talents of those powers.

As the two traveled onward,

on the horizon ahead, towering mechanical towers gradually appeared on the desert skyline.

"That's the ancient city of Wind Howl Desert," said Dolans, narrowing his eyes as he gazed.

"The ancient city of Wind Howl Desert is a gathering place for many freelance mercenaries."

"There are also many merchant guilds there, but they rarely sell enchanted weapons, as such weapons are quite valuable."

"You need to be careful; public security here isn't great. It's not uncommon for assassins to kill people in secret."

"Mm," Gune nodded slightly.

For Gune, enchanted weapons were not an urgent matter, as his wealth was not substantial.

Although he had taken all the possessions of Yali and the previous eighth-rank Blood Mechanical Angel, these assets were sufficient for an ordinary enchanted weapon.

But an ordinary enchanted weapon would not satisfy Gune.

At the very least, Gune wanted to obtain a mid-grade enchanted weapon, or even a high-grade one.

As for a peak enchanted weapon, if possible, that would be best; if not, there was no need to force it.

"Take this," Dolans said, handing over a palm-sized golden token.

"This is a communication token. Once I've found a suitable airship, I'll send you a message."

"Mm," Gune nodded.

In the high-dimensional transcendent world, layers such as the Shadow Layer were directly projected.

Thus, spatial positions were very complex, greatly disrupting teleportation arrays. Often, direct teleportation was impossible.

Therefore, in the high-dimensional transcendent world, most long-distance travel was done via mechanical airships.

This was actually more convenient and faster.

After all, mechanical airships were also very fast.

Before long, the two arrived at the ancient city of Wind Howl Desert.

After giving Gune a few words of advice, Dolans disappeared into the ancient city's streets.

Gune thought for a moment, retracted his Mechanical Angel Armor,

and then quietly slipped alone into the ancient city of Wind Howl Desert, a fusion of machinery and antiquity.

Walking along the streets,

Gune swept his gaze around and saw Transcendent Masters everywhere.

There were even quite a few Divine Envoy-level powerhouses.

After some inquiries.

Gunie followed the street to the commercial district of the ancient city of Wind Howl Desert.

After surveying left and right, Gunie quietly slipped into the first merchant guild.

About an hour later, Gunie walked out with a calm expression.

Inside, the one who received Gunie was a female Transcendent Master at the peak of the ninth tier of Transcendence.

Gunie inquired about magic weapons, secret pattern scriptures, and related information. The other party's responses made Gunie realize the rarity of magic weapons and secret pattern scriptures.

Even in Saint Haigar, it was difficult to casually obtain such good things.

After some negotiation, Gunie sold off a portion of his belongings.

At the same time, the number of "Saint Source Coins" in Gunie's possession increased from over twelve hundred to around two thousand.

Saint Source Coins are the common currency of Saint Haigar.

Their value is extremely high.

Gunie estimated that one Saint Source Coin was worth no less than ten thousand Gold List.

The reason Saint Source Coins are so valuable is that they contain a fixed measure of faith power.

If one had enough Saint Source Coins, a Transcendent Master at the peak of the ninth tier of Transcendence could easily advance to the Divine Envoy realm.

At the same time, experts at the level of Divine Envoys and Ancestral Spirits could also absorb the faith power in Saint Source Coins to enhance their strength.

However, absorbing faith power from Saint Source Coins is clearly not a cost-effective method.

Using Saint Source Coins to purchase "Faith Crystals" yields better results than directly absorbing the faith power within Saint Source Coins.

Walking along the street, Gunie pondered silently.

"Even the most ordinary magic weapon costs no less than three thousand Saint Source Coins."

"That is to say, a magic staff bought with three thousand Saint Source Coins is only the most ordinary legendary staff."

"A decent mid-grade magic staff costs seven or eight thousand Saint Source Coins."

"High-grade magic staves generally cost around twenty thousand Saint Source Coins."

"As for peak-grade magic staves, their value is usually no less than fifty thousand Saint Source Coins."

"Among those Transcendent Masters, very few can afford even a mid-grade magic staff."

"Most Transcendent Masters are still quite poor; being able to purchase a Mechanical Angel already counts as a relatively wealthy stratum."

"Currently, if I sell off all the things I have, including the Dragon-Slaying Staff, the Mechanical Angel, and various other materials, I estimate I'll have around four or five thousand Saint Source Coins. Buying an ordinary magic weapon shouldn't be a problem."

"But buying a decent mid-grade magic weapon might be difficult."

As he pondered, Gunie turned his attention to his planting slots.

For now, the only thing on Gunie that could generate value was this planting slot.

The royal-grade plant Sunflower Tree was covered in fist-sized Sunflower Fruits.

Gunie tried eating one, and the scalding fruit entered his abdomen, making him feel as if he had plunged into boiling water, his whole body uncomfortably hot.

Even when he tried to sense the Dark Essence, he found that his perception of it seemed to be blocked.

Only then did Gunie roughly understand that these Sunflower Fruits were not simple.

Perhaps this thing was slightly related to the Light Essence.

As for treasures related to Essences, Gunie had previously inquired and learned that their value was no less than one hundred Saint Source Coins.

Vaguely, Gunie had already guessed the true way to use the Sunflower Tree.

Secondly, the Life Spring Water in Gunie's Elf Life Tree was now inexhaustible.

The value of Life Spring Water was also considerable.

Gunie could sell some of it.

As for the "True·Underworld Source Fruit" produced by the Underworld Tree, it was no longer of much help to Gunie, but it was still worth something.

The "Deep Sea Source Crystal" of the royal-grade Sea Demon Tree was quite valuable in the Aoya Continent.

But in Saint Haigar, it was very cheap.

This meant that at least Gunie didn't have to worry about his magic source pool shrinking after reincarnation.

On Gunie's fifth and sixth idle slots, he had planted elite plants.

After all, Gunie didn't have any good, powerful overlord-level or even world-level plants to cultivate.

But now that he had arrived in Saint Haigar, things were different.

In Saint Haigar, Gunie knew there were many powerful overlord-level plants, and even legendary world-level plants.

If he could obtain the seeds of these powerful plants, that would be impressive.
