Another Deep Pit
Another Deep Pit
"So that's why."
"There is an array laid on the exterior of the spatial ship, which can protect the ship from being twisted by the spatial space when it travels through space." Huang Ying Ying added, "but this is too expensive to build and only some major powers have it. So even for us, we can only take someone else's to travel in."
"Really? Now I am even more curious about this spatial ship." Sima You Yue said with a smile, "Come on then, let's take the spatial ship!"
Because Sima Xiu Qi and the others have been here before, they knew where they could take a spatial ship and the directions to a place where they could take one.
He led Sima You Yue to the largest city nearby and introduced it to her on the way.
At this time, Sima You Yue discovered in awe that the middle and outer regions that she thought were very big, even if they were added together, they were not as large as the inner region!
The inner region itself was divided into eighty-one states, and the area of each state was not only vast. Even the smallest state amounts to half of the outer region.
After Sima You Yue heard this, her eyes widened in astonishment.
Even if there were some teleportation arrays that could shuttle between states, the cost was definitely outrageous and it was not affordable for ordinary people.
"I didn't expect it to be so big!" She exclaimed.
These eighty-one states have their own names, but then everyone became used to addressing them by their numbers instead and eventually, the eighty-one states were named, starting from one all the way to eighty-one.
It was said that this was not randomly numbered, but sorted according to the resources of each state, etc.The smaller the number, the richer the resources of that state, and the stronger the overall strength of the forces there.
Of course, not all forces were like this.There were also some states with larger numbers that also had some powerful forces.
"Which state is Sima's family in?" Sima You Yue asked.
"The sixty-fourth state."
It's pretty far behind! Sima You Yue murmured in her heart.
"At one time, we were also a great family, but we gradually dwindled and lagged behind. We were squeezed out by those forces in the front and had no choice but to move out." Sima Xiu Qi said, "Experiencing the glory before, the ancestors of the later generations all hope to be able to go back to those days. "
Sima You Yue remembered the elders that she had met outside Fair Eastern City, each of them said that she was the hope of rejuvenating the family and could lead them back to glory. Thinking back on this now, most probably they wanted her to bring them back.
Because of Sima Liu Xuan's renowned talent as a Spirit Seeker, they always regarded him as their star of hope to lead everyone back, but they did not expect that something like that would happen in the end. In the eyes of others, he was already a past; a genius that had been snuffed out before great things could be accomplished.
Therefore, when they were in the Immortal Land, the Sima family was eager to obtain the divine artifact and inheritance.However, this hope was also lost and in the end, all they could do was to place their remaining hope on Sima You Yue.
Sima You Yue was rendered speechless. When she was outside, she saw that others were so respectful to the Sima family. She thought that they were an amazing and respectable force in the inner regions, who knew that they were actually a fallen clan!
And those outside knew that their strength in the inner region didn't amount to much because those that were really powerful won't even bother to go outside.
Alas, it feels like she had fallen into a pit again!
Knowing that she had already jumped into the pit, all she could hope for that this was not a deep pit!
Along the way, Sima Xiu Qi and Huang Ying Ying told her some news about the inner region. The more she knew, the more she felt that there was no end to it!
For example, the Sima family, which she thought to be very powerful before, was actually not very powerful in the inner region.
For example, there were some very powerful family clans whose forces reigned over the entire state. That alone could already let one know how powerful such families were.
However, this was only true in the forty-ninth state, and there were still many major forces contending in the other states.
But from their words, this major power that reigned in the forty-ninth state was absolutely comparable to the power in the top ten states. It's just that they didn't want to move, so they remained and settled in the forty-ninth state.
"Sigh..." She sighed in her heart, "Even if Paramount Valley expands its power to the inner region, the place that I can go to is the state that's at the end…"
After experiencing so much, she finally felt that she was quite a capable person who had accomplished quite a few feats. She thought that she had reached the top but after arriving here, she felt that she had been tossed all the way to the back again.
However, she also decided in her heart that she must create a world of hers in this treacherous inner region!
After traveling along the road for two days, they finally arrived at their destination - Tangerine City.
"Tangerine City, don't tell me... the City Lord likes to eat tangerines?" Sima You Yue looked at the three words 'Tangerine City' inscribed majestically on the city wall and jested.
"How did you know?!" Sima Xiu Qi asked in surprise, "This city was not called Tangerine City before, because the current City Lord likes to eat tangerine spirit fruits, so he changed its name to Tangerine City."
"..."
Sima You Yue was speechless, she had just guessed it casually, but she didn't expect it to be true.
Because he loves to eat tangerines, so he changed the name of the city that has been used for thousands of years. This City Lord was really willful!
"I heard that no one knows the origin of the current City Lord. He made a bet with the previous City Lord, he won and became the City Lord. After he became the City Lord, he ordered people to go everywhere to find him tangerines and all the tangerines in the vicinity had all been eaten up by him." Sima Xiu Qi told her what he heard last time.
"He ate them all?! No one voiced any objections? They just accepted it so willingly?" Sima You Yue asked in surprise, "Besides, he is a City Lord who appeared out of nowhere, are his people so obedient? Will they listen to his words?"
"Of course they listen to his words!" Sima Xiu Qi didn't think about this and replied almost immediately. "I heard that someone had made trouble, but I don't know what he did later and the people in Tangerine City all listen to him."
"He has quite a talent!" Sima You Yue exclaimed.
"He's just a prick." Wu Lingyu on the side saw that Sima You Yue was so interested in that person, and snorted coldly.
"Pfftt——" Sima You Yue laughed out, grabbed his hand affectionately and said, "Your body is only slightly more than three hundred years old, but your words sound like one of an elder."
"I'm younger than him, just look at me." Wu Lingyu said aggressively.
"..."
"You You, Sage Pavilion and Sima Family are in opposite directions, so we have to separate here. Even if I'm not by your side, you can only have me in your eyes and heart, you know?" Wu Lingyu grabbed her hand. His fingers poked her heart, declaring his sovereignty.
Sima You Yue patted his hand and said, "When did I have someone else in my eyes? Hmph! If you are so domineering, I can find someone else!"
"You dare to?!" Wu Lingyu stretched out his hand and squeezed her face. If it weren't for the presence of the elders in her family, he would have kissed her right now.
