Chapter 984: Lifespan

Han Fei landed on the ground and looked at the person who was holding Chu Xiao in his hands. He was throwing a healing technique on Chu Xiao, and the latter was also recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Han Fei’s eyes narrowed slightly. This person was probably a peak-level Law Enforcer. Otherwise, a spirit gatherer who was only an ordinary Law Enforcer wouldn’t be able to treat a person so quickly.

At the same time, Han Fei was aware of a problem that Old Jiang once told him: the higher the realm of a spirit gatherer, the more powerful he would be.

A low-level spirit gatherer was the object of protection of the whole team.

But when a spirit gatherer became a peak-level Law Enforcer, he could both launch an attack and gather energy, and wouldn’t easily run out of spiritual energy.

Once a spirit gatherer became an Explorer, he would be even stronger. And it would be very difficult for his enemies to beat him.

Han Fei looked at the person and said, “A peak-level Law Enforcer? Don’t you feel ashamed to fight us?”

The middle-aged man took a deep look at Han Fei. “The people in the Thug Academy are all the same, humph…”

With that, the middle-aged man grabbed Chu Xiao and flew away without a word.

The Law Enforcers of the seven major sects glanced at each other. The arrogance of the Thug Academy was simply passed down from generation to generation. They made a salute and said, “OK, we’re leaving.”

…

When the four of them boarded the island of the Thousand Star City, they looked around and found that a large area of this place was unoccupied. The floor was paved with carved sapphire bricks, and there were several human-shaped statues not far away as if they were welcoming people coming up from the Sky Ladder. In the distance, the outline of the buildings could be seen, which seemed to be quite tall.

Qing Chen had already left with the people of the Mountain Sea Pavilion.

Everyone looked at Luo Xiaobai. It was the first time they were here, and they were completely unfamiliar with the Thousand Star City.

For now, they hadn’t flown to the sky to get a bird’s-eye view, so they didn’t know how big this so-called Thousand Star City was… How many islands were there? And what was the layout?

Luo Xiaobai said, “I don’t like it here very much! The Thousand Star City is mainly composed of 36 floating islands and several mini-floating islands. It should be… Five or six times larger than the Scattered Stars Island.”

“Puff!”

The others were all dumbfounded. What? The Thousand Star City was five or six times bigger than the Scattered Stars Island?

Li Luoluo was surprised. “Are you from the Thousand Star City?”

Zhang Xuanyu asked, “Huh? So where should we fly? Where is the former site of the Thug Academy?”

Le Renkuang silently counted and said, “So, the city has an area of about ten thousand kilometers?”

At this moment, an old man in gray flew over.

“Miss, sorry I’m late. Miss, are you okay?”

Luo Xiaobai leaned slightly and said, “Grandpa Ku.”

The old man smiled brightly and said, “Miss, Master asks for you, are you going to take your companions back to our family to live several days, or what?”

Luo Xiaobai shook her head slightly. “No, we’re going to the former site of the Thug Academy. Grandpa Ku, you can just tell us where it is, and we’ll go over by ourselves.”

The old man smiled and said, “No, since I’m already here, I shall lead you there…”

Then he looked at the others with a smile. “I’m Ku Shui. Nice to meet you. The former site of the Thug Academy is already dilapidated. If you want to live there, you may have to clean it up first.”

This old man was obviously a very strong Law Enforcer. However, since Luo Xiaobai’s father was already an Explorer, it was normal for him to have such a servant.

This was the benefit of the big clans. Even if Luo Xiaobai said that her family had declined, it wasn’t something an ordinary family could be compared to.

Han Fei made a salute and said, “Then please lead the way, Senior.”

Ku Shui waved his hand and a fishing boat appeared.

Han Fei was surprised. “Can people take fishing boats in the Thousand Star City?”

Ku Shui smiled and said, “Sure, or you can fly with wings. After all, the Thousand Star City is too big. Even local residents will get lost sometimes.”

Le Renkuang said, “Senior, would you tell us about the city?”

Zhang Xuanyu echoed, “Yes, tell us about the seven major sects and the big clans in the Thousand Star City. Are they all on the most central island? Where is our Thug Academy? What’s new here? ”

They didn’t ask Luo Xiaobai these questions because as the young miss of the Luo Family, she probably didn’t go out very often.

However, Luo Xiaobai was very knowledgeable and had a good memory. Even though she wasn’t familiar with the roads, she must be familiar with some things.

Luo Xiaobai said, “Grandpa Ku, please bring us a copy of the materials and ancient books about the Thousand Star City in a few days.”

“Yes, Miss.”

Ku Shui said with a smile, “In fact, the Thousand Star City is a bit different from what you think! Neither the seven major sects nor the big clans are on the central island. You can imagine this place as a large circular island. The most central part, called the Central God’s Seat, is also called the city of sacrifice and is said to be the place where the gods lived. It is blocked by terrifying killing arrays, and even Venerable experts dare not step into it.”

“Enclosing the Central God’s Seat are the three sacred sites of the Thousand Star City, which are the Monument of Gods, the Sky Meditation Garden, and the Ideal Palace. The three sacred sites occupy an island each.”

“On the periphery of the three sacred sites, there are 6 floating islands, where the most powerful clans in the Thousand Star City live. In total, there are 18 clans. On average, there are 3 big clans on each island.”

Han Fei suddenly asked, “Where are the Cao Family and the Chu Sect?”

Ku Shui smiled and said, “They live respectively in the south and north of the Thousand Star City. And we are currently in the north of the city, so the Chu Sect people came just now. The Cao Family and the Chu Sect are also the only two families occupying an entire island in the Thousand Star City. That is because the two families both have Venerables, but that doesn’t mean other families don’t have Venerables. They just can’t come out.”

Li Luoluo asked curiously, “Why?”

Ku Shui smiled. “I don’t know if you have ever heard about the lifespan of a cultivator? After becoming a great fishing master, a cultivator will have a lifespan of 200 years. Hidden Fishers have a lifespan of 800 years. Law Enforcers are the transition from Hidden Fishers to Explorers and haven’t formally stepped on the way of cultivation, so their lifespan is only about 1,200 years, not much longer than a Hidden Fishers’. But Explorer’s lifespans surge to around 2,000 years.”

They asked, “What about Venerables?”

Ku Shui said, “Venerable’s lifespans are at least 5,000 years, but vary from person to person. But if a Venerable has lived for 5,000 years, his overall strength will slowly decline. So the Venerables older than 5,000 years have to be very cautious to be engaged in a fight. It can be said that they are burning their lives in every battle they fight.”

Han Fei’s eyelids twitched. Really?

Ku Shui said with a smile, “Some Venerables have exhausted their lifespan in advance; some have increased their lifespan through special treasures; some seized others’ bodies and regenerated in others’ bodies. However, it’s said that a king can live tens of thousands of years. I don’t know much about it… It’s even said that some strong master has turned into a god, and his life is as long as the heavens and earth, but it’s just a legend.”

Zhang Xuanyu took a breath. “So, the Venerables don’t engage in fights because they want to live longer?”

Ku Shui nodded slightly. “Yes, some people even seal themselves to a certain extent. However, it’s not absolute. For example, if a Venerable attacks you, it won’t consume their life, unless you’ve become Explorers.”

Han Fei asked, “What about a Venerable who hasn’t lived 5,000 years?”

Han Fei asked this question because of Old Han. He thought Old Han should be still young.

Ku Shui smiled and looked at Han Fei, knowing why he was asking this question. He said, “Then he has nothing to lose. He can keep fighting and can even burn his life when necessary.”

No wonder people were so scared of Old Han. Other Venerables had to consume their remaining vitality in a fight, while he could keep fighting.

Of course, Han Fei didn’t believe that all the other Venerables in the Thousand Star City had lived for 5,000 years or more. There must be some younger ones.

Otherwise, from what he knew of Old Han, he would probably keep fighting them until their lifespan was exhausted.

Li Luoluo’s eyes were firm. “I want to be a Venerable.”

The others looked at her speechlessly. Everyone wants to be a Venerable, OK?

Luo Xiaobai said, “So once one’s lifespan is over, he won’t have any hope. Therefore, we must try to become a Venerable within a thousand years.”

Ku Shui chuckled and said, “Miss, you’re right. Many Heavenly Talents may become Explorers or even Venerables in a few hundred years. But, becoming a king is extremely difficult… Some people once said that due to various limits, the Thousand Star City cannot produce a king. But no one knows what the truth is.”

Han Fei gasped. Wow, no one can become a king among the hundreds of millions of people! Could he really make it?

Han Fei suddenly smiled secretly. I have got all these precious resources, and even the Yin-Yang Heavenly Palace is going to be mine. If I can’t become a king, who else can?
