Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest

A city that can accommodate hundreds of thousands, how long does it take to build?

In Wang Chen's past life, the world's number one construction fanatic even needed three to five years to build a new city from scratch.

And that was already considered a miracle that amazed the whole world.

Yet in this world, he personally witnessed the reconstruction of the razed Flying Immortal City in just ten days.

A wall tens of meters high now enclosed the entire city.

It provided a profound sense of security.

As for the clusters of buildings within the city, they seemed to spring up overnight, manifesting the power of immortals.

The main force behind the new city's construction was naturally the cultivators of the White Tiger Sect, but a large number of the original residents of Flying Immortal City also participated, contributing their own strength.

Of course, they were not working for nothing.

The White Tiger Sect was quite generous, paying wages in Spirit Stones or Spirit Rice, settling accounts for a day's work each day.

The cultivators staying in the tent camps, who were idle anyways, were naturally happy to earn some extra money.

The White Tiger Sect side, obviously well-prepared, had brought countless materials and recruited a large number of cultivators, so after ten days, the new city had already taken shape.

On the twelfth day, everyone completely withdrew from the newly built city.

The Flying Warships, originally moored outside the city, soared into the sky and formed a battle array in the air.

The atmosphere suddenly grew tense.

The cultivators of Flying Immortal City faintly sensed something and gathered together, feeling a mix of anxiety and excitement, staring unblinkingly at the city ahead.

Roar~

Moments later, a heaven-shaking tiger's roar burst forth from the city.

The next moment, beams of light shot into the sky, mana surged disturbing the winds and clouds, and the colors of the heavens and earth seemed to change.

An immense White Tiger manifestation appeared above the city, turning from ethereal to solid.

"White Tiger's protection, commanding reverence from all directions~"

An old and ethereal voice descended from the heavens, reaching everyone's ears.

At the same time, an extremely powerful Divine Sense swept across the inside and outside.

Golden Core True Person!

The faces of countless cultivators changed.

By this point, even the dullest person could see that the White Tiger Sect didn't intend to turn Flying Immortal City into a sect outpost, what they displayed was absolutely the layout of a sect's main entrance!

Otherwise, there would be no need to deploy a Golden Core True Person to activate the City Protecting Great Array.

Roar~

The White Tiger manifestation above Flying Immortal City let out another deafening roar, it fiercely plunged into the city, and in an instant, turned into thousands of points of Spiritual Light, merging with the walls and the houses.

The City Protecting Great Array was activated.

Above the city gate facing the tent camp, a flash of white light suddenly revealed the two characters "White Tiger."

White Tiger City!

Flying Immortal City was gone, thoroughly vanished.

It was now White Tiger City.

Countless cultivators who witnessed this scene had rather complex feelings.

It's not like everyone had a deep attachment to Flying Immortal City.

Actually, far from it.

But after all, this city carried many of their lovely or not-so-lovely memories.

Many cultivators were born, grew up, learned, and worked in this city...

Now, these memories could only remain as memories.

Wang Chen, on the other hand, didn't feel much about it.

He hadn't been in this place for long.

In fact, Wang Chen didn't like the original Flying Immortal City.

It was quite good to rebuild a new order now.

Boom~

The tightly closed city gates opened, revealing a spacious and straight avenue in everyone's view.

It was as if the city was opening its arms to everyone!

In the following days, the later phase of White Tiger City's construction continued.

And those Cultivators of Flying Immortal City who held onto the New Pacts finally saw the day for housing distribution arrive.

The drawing of lots would take place in three days!

Interestingly, many who had sold their New Pacts, preparing to leave, now regretted their decision.

The reason they chose to flee, on one hand, was the scare from the monster surge; after all, the proximity to Jade Dragon Mountain was too close, and the Monster Beasts in the great mountain could potentially return at any moment.

If a Great Monster were to appear, who could withstand it?

But to everyone's surprise, the White Tiger Sect, which intended to occupy Flying Immortal City, actually had a Golden Core True Person stationed there!

With twelve Magical Treasure-class Flying Warships, the City Protecting Great Array, and a Golden Core True Person, the city was as secure as a fortress; barring an attack by a Demon King, security was hardly an issue for White Tiger City.

Another reason was that many were afraid of being enslaved by the White Tiger Sect.

Such incidents were not uncommon, as Loose Cultivators were somewhat weaker compared to Sect Cultivators.

The former often became the targets for the latter's exploitation, squeezing, or even bullying!

But now, it seemed that the White Tiger Sect didn't act in a tyrannical manner and didn't show any discrimination towards Loose Cultivators.

With a sense of security and basic dignity assured, why run?

Cultivators who realized this immediately regretted their earlier decision.

However, buying back the New Pacts had become difficult as the price of the New Pacts began to skyrocket!

The four-part New Pact that Wang Chen earlier bought from an old Cultivator for 300 Spirit Stones had now risen to nearly 500 Spirit Stones, and they were extremely hard to come by.

Everyone felt that the price of the New Pacts would continue to rise, so naturally, they held onto them tightly and were not easily persuaded to sell.

Cultivators who held several New Pacts became the center of attention.

For instance, Wang Chen.

The fact that Wang Chen had spent thirty or forty thousand Spirit Stones on acquiring New Pacts couldn't be kept a secret; everyone saw it, and it was natural for some to harbor ulterior motives.

Wang Chen sensed keenly the covetous and greedy gazes around him.

Riches move the heart, indeed!

"Taoist Friend Wang."

Before Wang Chen could take any action, two Cultivators approached him.

One was at the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, the other at the eighth.

One tall, skinny Cultivator said with a sly grin, "My brothers and I would like to buy a New Pact to settle down in White Tiger City later, would Taoist Friend Wang be willing to part with one?"

Despite the polite inquiry, there was an implicit menace in his tone.

"Sure,"

Wang Chen nodded and asked, "How much are you looking for?"

The two Cultivators didn't expect Wang Chen to be so agreeable. They exchanged glances, and the skinny Cultivator raised his right palm, shaking it slightly, "Five parts will be enough."

"Five-part New Pact for one thousand Spirit Stones,"

Wang Chen said without a second thought, "No bargaining."

One thousand Spirit Stones!

The tall, skinny Cultivator's face immediately soured, and his companion glared menacingly!

Everyone knew that the four-part pact Wang Chen first bought cost only three hundred Spirit Stones.

And now he was demanding one thousand Spirit Stones for a five-part pact – the pot calling the kettle black! His greed knew no bounds!

The skinny Cultivator said coldly, "Taoist Friend Wang, this price is exorbitant."

"Exorbitant?"

Wang Chen chuckled, "Then make it one thousand five hundred Spirit Stones, no bargaining!"

"Very well!"

The skinny Cultivator turned on his heel and left, "Hope you don't regret this!"

His companion pointed at Wang Chen and then followed the skinny Cultivator away.
