Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 426 Candlelight
Li Feng, the envoy of the Vermilion Bird Holy City, stood solemnly beside Tie Muxuan.

As the son of the city lord Li Luo, and bearing the heavy responsibility, he is fully capable of representing the city lord of Vermilion Bird City.

The planet Yaoxing is divided into two continents, East and West.

When the Heavenly Ranking War arrived, the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent each obtained a different Heavenly Ranking.

However, since White Dragon City and Vermilion Bird City were roughly equal in strength, and the two cities were extremely far apart, and the entire Radiant Star was sparsely populated, there were almost no major conflicts between them.

However, this situation changed after White Dragon City was defeated in the Heavenly Ranking War, and Vermilion Bird City became the victorious civilization.

As the victorious civilization, Suzaku City knew very well what was going to happen next.

First came the invasion of alien races, then the number and quality of the mist monsters rose to a new level... and this rise had no upper limit, until White Dragon City was completely destroyed.

Suzaku City had been considering whether they should simply annex White Dragon City.

However, the two cities were too far apart, and the large-scale mobilization would be wasteful of resources and manpower. In addition, as the victorious civilization, they had discovered a world with precious resources, which drew everyone's attention to that world.

By the time they emerged from that world, White Dragon City had already been divided up, and otherworldly beings had descended upon the surrounding cities, utterly crushing all resistance forces.

However, the alien beings that invaded Yaoxing only took away the relics scattered throughout Bailong City, plundered some source crystals and resources, and left directly. They even kindly passed down a Qi Refining and Divine Transformation Technique and a Divine Realm Perception Technique, which surprised the Suzaku City.

After carefully studying the Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation Method and the Divine Realm Perception Method, they discovered...

These two practices did not harm their civilization.

On the contrary, the method of refining Qi into spirit can better cultivate spiritual beings, enabling them to better preserve their lives when the mist descends. Furthermore, the Void God Realm allows everyone to exchange resources, share experiences, and grow together!
After research and observation, Zhuque City concluded that this civilization was not an unreasonable and evil one, but rather relatively friendly and orderly. Thus, Li Feng was commissioned to come to the Western Continent to meet the representative of the Red Star Civilization.

"I have already informed Chairman Ji, and he will be here shortly. Please wait a moment."

Standing beside this seventh-level cultivator, Tie Muxuan naturally felt a lot of pressure.

"I see."

As Li Feng spoke, he said with some emotion, "Your civilization possesses such a treasure as the Divine Realm. It is truly incredible that you can still transmit information even though you are separated by two realms. No wonder you are so successful in the Heavenly Ranking War."

Upon hearing this, Tie Muxuan smiled slightly.

The power of the Realm of the Void Gods truly far exceeds everyone's imagination.

As long as the Void God Realm can be built using the Limitless Mystic Crystal, the message can be sent back...

Although it can only be passed on to Chairman Ji, but...

The fact that Chairman Ji can use his Void Authority to come to their aid at any time is the greatest source of confidence for these groups that go out to explore other worlds.

"At present, our civilization and your civilization are not in competition. Therefore, cooperation and mutual benefit, making each other's civilization stronger, is obviously the most correct choice."

Li Feng said.

Although they did not lower their stance, as the seeker of cooperation, they were already in a passive position.

"Personally, I also agree with this view."

Tie Muxuan thought of Ji Fuyou's busy work in improving the overall strength of Chixing during this period: "The first round of the Heavenly Ranking War was fine, as there were many new civilizations. But in the second round, every civilization is a survivor of the first round of the war, and their strength will inevitably be significantly improved. If we want to win again, it will probably not be an easy task."

"It would be great if we could all reach this consensus. I believe the following conversation will satisfy both of us."

Li Feng breathed a slight sigh of relief.

At that moment, Tie Muxuan seemed to sense something and quickly conveyed his meaning.

Immediately afterwards, a divine thought appeared in Li Feng's perception: "Could we go into the Void God Realm to discuss this in detail?"

Li Feng and Zhuque City had studied the Void God Realm in detail, but they had not studied what negative effects the Void God Realm had on people.

Furthermore, since it was their side that came to seek cooperation with the Crimson Star Civilization, this seventh-level cultivator did not refuse.

At that moment, a spirit was drawn into the Realm of the Void Gods.

Upon entering the Realm of the Gods, what appeared before them was a small conference room with the characteristics of their Eastern continent.

The layout of this meeting room made Li Feng feel a sense of familiarity.

"Please take a seat."

At this moment, a wave of divine thought arrived.

Upon seeing the figure emerge, Li Feng immediately bowed respectfully: "Greetings, Chairman Ji."

"Judging from your appearance, you've had contact with the Void God Realm? Then, how about we communicate using the methods of the Void God Realm?"

Ji Fuyou asked.

"Yes, that's more efficient."

Li Feng did not refuse and quickly conveyed some information.

However, what he didn't know was that while he was transmitting this information, his scattered mental fluctuations were also collected by the Void God Realm, which then mobilized its power to quickly analyze the true intentions of their Vermilion Bird Holy City.

Good thing...

The analysis did not yield negative results.

The Vermilion Bird Holy City does indeed intend to cooperate.

Among this information, he even saw the trump card of the Vermilion Bird Holy City.

At that moment, Ji Fuyou also conveyed his views: "I agree to cooperate with the Vermilion Bird Holy City and am willing to communicate with the Vermilion Bird Holy City to exchange resources. How about we set the time for White Dragon City a month from now? We will transform the abandoned White Dragon City into a trading center for the two civilizations."

"can."

This point was already taken into account in the plan discussed by Li Feng and others, and they also agreed with the idea of ​​turning White Dragon City into a center for trade and exchange between the two worlds.

Since there is communication and trade, it is inevitable that both parties will offer goods that can be traded.

Meanwhile, the Suzaku Holy City proudly declared, "Our greatest specialty is called Candlelight Candle!" He handed an object that looked somewhat like a candle to Ji Fuyou, explaining, "This candle can emit a light that pierces through the fog, effectively illuminating an area of ​​tens or even hundreds of meters within the fog, allowing martial artists to achieve a visual effect comparable to that of a sub-advanced mental energy user."

"A few dozen or a hundred meters... that's a bit short."

Ji Fuyou Road.

"Of course, this is just the most basic style. Above that, there are candle torches, candle crystals, and candle tower technology. Among them, the illumination range of candle torches reaches two to three hundred meters, and the brilliance of candle crystals can penetrate up to one thousand meters! The candle tower technology integrates the brilliance of a large number of candle crystals into one, which can illuminate a radius of several thousand meters."

Li Feng said with some pride, "With this technology, we can easily establish ourselves in any fog and build towns to defend against enemies outside the city walls!"

Ji Fuyou deduced from Li Feng's mental fluctuations that the envoy from Vermilion Bird City was not making empty promises or boasting.

Candle wax, candle torches, and candle crystals do indeed have the effects he claims.

Although a distance of tens or hundreds of meters is nothing to them, for martial artists, it is almost a breakthrough from nothing to something.

After all, the range of mental perception for many advanced mental abilities is only this limited.

If they can find strange beasts or monsters from hundreds of meters away, the martial arts team can make preparations in advance.

This will not only improve safety, but also significantly increase hunting efficiency when searching for exotic beasts and monsters.

"It's really good stuff."

Ji Fuyou said something.

“Candle wax, torches, and crystals are all consumables. How about we, the Vermilion Bird Holy City, use these items as a currency anchor?”

Li Feng inquired.

"The real currency should be Source Crystals; that's the true hard currency."

"also."

Li Feng nodded: "Our Vermilion Bird Holy City's candlelight is willing to pay the price of a single white physique source crystal..."

"There's no need to haggle. Just name a price we can both accept."

Ji Fuyou said, "100 candle waxes, 10 torches, and 1 candle crystal can be exchanged for 1 white physique source crystal."

Upon hearing this, Li Feng was slightly taken aback.

This price...

That's basically their bottom line.

“I have the authority over the void, and I have been to the Eastern Continent. I know the value of these things.”

Ji Fuyou added.

"The authority of the void!?"

Li Feng's pupils contracted.

Such a secret was naturally not something Tie Muxuan and the others would spread carelessly; this was the first time they had heard of it.

Possessing the authority of the void...

Having been to the Eastern Continent, it's no wonder he could accurately gauge their bottom line.

"can."

Li Feng didn't insist any further, nodded, and then asked, "I wonder if your civilization has any special products that you can trade?"

"As for local specialties, there are some, such as a life potion. Although its effects are not as immediate as those of source crystals, they are not much different."

Ji Fuyou directly transmitted the information about the ordinary life potion.

After learning about the effects of this life-saving potion, Li Feng's eyes lit up.

"can."

"I will have someone speak with you in detail."

Ji Fuyou naturally entrusted this negotiation task to Fang Qiyun.

Compared to the trade of these supplies, he was more interested in the Vermilion Bird Holy City.

"White Dragon City developed based on the ruins of a powerful civilization. How did Vermilion Bird Holy City develop so rapidly? Did you also obtain the ruins?"

"Ruins? No, but..."

Li Feng pondered for a moment and said, "We have established a connection with an advanced civilization."

"An advanced civilization? How many rounds of the Heavenly Ranking Wars have they gone through?"

"We don't know the exact number of rounds, but..."

Li Feng paused for a moment, then said, "Very high level!"

After saying that, he added, "Very high!"

"Very high?"

Ji Fuyou frowned: "Aren't you worried about incurring consequences that you can't afford to bear?"

"Different in nature."

Li Feng said, "The main source of cause and effect is actually that civilization was targeted by other civilizations, or by other alien beasts or demons. But if..."

He paused, then said in a deep voice, "What if that civilization itself is at the very top of the Heavenly Ranking War?"
