The Hedonist Sword God

Chapter 386: City of Dao

Opening his eyes, Jian Shen could only say that he 'felt' everything was over and that he could now see as the reason behind doing so.

After all, he didn't know what was it that just happened which let him who was somewhere on the Bamboo Resort Domain to arrive here. Wherever here was that is.

Looking around himself, Jian Shen wondered if maybe he was still somewhere on the Bamboo Resort Domain, and the others were the ones who had disappeared.

Shaking his head at how that couldn't be possible, Jian Shen took a step forward when his eyes suddenly shot wide open as he instantly pulled his leg back. Looking down, he now saw that his feet weren't actually touching the ground and rather some transparent barrier was keeping him away from touching the solid ground which was paved using huge brown bricks.

Spotting mystical looking strand of brown colour which were going back and fusing with the brick, Jian Shen gulped hard and didn't dare let his foot touch anything random without thinking twice.

Covered in cold sweat, Jian Shen could still vividly remember how the very moment his foot touched the brick a dao immediately began forcing its way inside his head. In fact, if he didn't pull his leg back, Jian Shen was sure that by now that dao would've begun comprehending a new dao despite not having any intention to.

"This. Is everything made of dao?"

Scratching the back of his head in confusion since there weren't many details regarding the insides of the City of Beginnings and how it worked, Jian Shen chose to fly instead of touching anything because at least the air was safe for the time being.

At the same time, Jian Shen began wondering if even he wouldn't be able to say anything about what was here inside the City of Beginnings once he left.

Floating in the air, Jian Shen chose to fly as high as possible to get a view of the city as a whole. It took some time for Jian Shen to reach the limit that he could fly at, but once he did the view below him was truly mind-blowing.

Putting aside the grandeur of the huge city which was quite magnificent to look at, what instantly caught Jian Shen's eyes was how the huge city was divided into multiple regions like a chessboard with each part representing a different dao.

Still, even though the city was divided into various parts, the roads were all made from the same material and were in the same colour which made it obvious that regardless of where Jian Shen set his foot down on the road, he'd instantly be forced into comprehending the dao it was made up of.

Similarly, there was one more thing which caught his eyes.

Given how high Jian Shen had flown, he noticed that he was actually in one of the corner regions of the entire city. Also, the part he flew up from seemed to be related to the dao of metal, which now made sense given how all the buildings in that area looked like they were made of one metal or the other.

Due to this, Jian Shen began searching for the regions where the daos he was hoping to comprehend were at.

Similarly, he smiled and said, "It's been a long time, so why not come out and taste the refreshing air?"

Unfortunately, the smile froze as soon as it appeared because Jian Shen realised that the World Crest was for some reason sealed due to which he had no way to interact with everything and everyone that was inside it.

Still, at the same time he was sure that everything was fine for some reason due to which he chose to try and not dwell too much on the matter. After all, this was most likely done by some secret mechanisms that were in place inside the City of Beginnings which restricted him and anyone else from bringing people who didn't receive the old man's acknowledgement.

"The Dao Seeking Race. The more I learn about them, the more curious I am becoming"

While making a note to meet them for sure, Jian Shen began flying around in search of the region which contained the dao he wanted to comprehend just like the various others who entered it were doing so.

Well, all but one of them.

'I'm going to kill that bastard!'

Clenching his fists tightly with bloodshot eyes, Tian Long who had entered the City of Beginnings as well suddenly realised that even though he was confident in killing Jian Shen, he had no way of finding where he was at.

Sure he could fly as well once he turned into his dragon form, but how would he find out where Jian Shen was at among all of those cultivators who made him think they were swarms of bees due to how many were flying around aimlessly.

Therefore, Tian Long who hadn't even for a single second forgotten how his mother was fawning over him decided to go from one region to another until he finally found where he was at.

Once he did that, Tian Long would not just kill Jian Shen but he didn't plan on leaving a full corpse behind either,

First would be Jian Shen, and then his father!

Anyone that comes in between him and Xiaxue deserved to die!!!
