Chapter 59: Azure Lightning City

Upon entering Azure Lightning City, Cain was promptly awed by its magnificent look. He may come from the higher and illustrious God Galaxy, but this was still his first time coming to such an extensive City.

Everything about this city trumps over even the wealthiest city in his previous world.

The buildings and several other structures here were crafted from various luminously shiny materials that kept the whole city brightly lit.

From gold to silver or even platinum, most buildings had a unique shine.

Furthermore, these buildings' heights extended far up into the skies. Some even looked like they were at least a thousand feet high!

And if that wasn't impressive enough, there were even luxurious-looking buildings floating high into the skies.

Yes, the magical sights of floating grand palaces were currently presented to Cain.

He could just imagine one day soaring through the skies and exploring these rich, beautiful sky buildings. It filled him with a sense of wonder from merely thinking about achieving such a goal.

What toppled off everything was the endless distance of the city, making it seem like this place has no limit.

From ground buildings to sky buildings, everything here expanded for at least dozens of miles.

And amazingly enough, nothing was crowded or camp.

Azure Lightning city was just big enough to accompany all of these miles-long buildings very easily.

In the future, Cain knows he'll see even more majestic sights than this city. But for his very first time visiting one, Cain only one had thought in his mind.

'This is simply marvelous! Even down to the simple air, it feels so magical. While obviously not as great as home, it's far better than the woods.'

As he gazed around, it was like Cain felt something snap within his mind. With much higher strength, he'll be able to visit any grand site he wants, venturing deep into their massive background.

With the Liang Tribe and Kong Clan, Cain didn't hold much interest. Those two powers were more akin to ordinary mortal struggles than anything grand.

But here in Azure Lightning city, Cain basked in its glorious might.

Down to the scenery and even the people, it all intrigue to one day explore everything this grand city has to offer.

At the same time, Kali simply retained an indifferent gaze while glancing around the city. In direct contrast to Cain, she found everything to be slightly better than average for mortals.

The sky-high buildings and sky-floating buildings was nothing more than a minor decor of something ordinary.

What Kali truly focused on was the level of power inhabiting the city. To this point, she was more impressed.

Peak Nascent Formations masters were akin to cabbages. Numerous Profound Soul powerhouses casually stroll down golden streets.

And, of course, there were hundreds of more cultivators that Kali couldn't precisely identify at her current boundary.

But the more powerhouses she detected, the more Kali's blood began to vigorously pump.

"Heh. The difference between this and those woods is like night day. The mortals here are all prosperous and strong. This will be perfect for us."

Kali's tone was like she was a kid in the candy store. She could already imagine the day where she and her brother dominated this entire city with just a mere pulse of their Draconic Aura!

As Kali brought attention to it, Cain began to take particular notice of the hordes of people strolling about the massive city. He felt even more intrigued at the extensive bustling going about here.

Cain didn't dare to guess the number of people here.

Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands?

None of them seemed even close to the massive prosperity here. Moreover, despite the high range of people, nothing was ever crowded.

From this over-exaggerated number of people, Cain expected to fall into the sea of endless people. And for the most part, he was right.

No matter if he and Kali had exceptionally beautiful appearances, barely anyone spared a second glance at them.

Or they just ignored their existence entirely.

After all, he and Kali are mere mid-ranks Nascent Formation Masters. Obviously not worthy of attention from even peak Nascent Formation Masters.

However, Cain did sense a few glances that lingered on them more than they should.

Because of the mass amount of people, it was impossible for Cain to pinpoint every lingering suspicious gaze on them. But he didn't need to be genius to see through their malicious intents.

From the looks of the city and how easy going it appears on the surface, it seemed aggressive crime or violence isn't the norm here.

But this was only the surface level.

Cain had no doubts that if they gather the wrong ire, these people have numerous means to hiddenly deal with them.

At this thought, Cain suddenly said to Kali, "While we're here, might as well get some new clothes as to not stand out for now. At least until we join an organization here."

"Mn. I'm actually in great agreement. These clothes are becoming a bit uncomfortable to wear."

Even for the smallest of things, Kali still likes to have her comfortability. And these Kong Clans clothes that were stained with blood, dirt, and sweat were the farthest thing of being comfortable.

Shifting his eyes through the various stores and vendors here, Cain opened his mouth to speak again.

But right as he tried to do so, his tongue got caught in his throat. His eyes dangerously narrowed as he briefly fell into complete focus.

....Just what was that?

For the briefest of seconds, Cain felt his soul vaguely throb all on its own. This throb within his soul wasn't because of energy or any type of power.

It was a throb that felt as if it was trying to make him aware of something. As if someone noteworthy specifically locked on to him and Kali!

However, this sensation was merely fleeting.

It vanished as quickly as it came.

If anyone else soul was even enhanced enough to achieve an ability like this, it definitely wouldn't be enough to arouse their interest.

Within Azure Lightning City, powerhouses was as common as grains of rice.

Cain and Kali couldn't even walk for a second without encountering a massively more powerful cultivator than them.

It was entirely understandable to believe some expert accidentally locked on to them.

Before coming to the city, Cain didn't decide to conceal their cultivation. Within the city, it would be more appropriate to showcase their might to avoid any unnecessary trouble.

So it was possible some expert swept their Spiritual Senses through the crowd, probably looking for something or someone, and accidentally targeted them.

But even when considering these reasons, Cain felt very odd about his soul throbbing.

After all, this is quite literally the first time they've come to this story. So what are the chances for an accident like this to occur?

Just the slightest of caution began to fill Cain's mind. He tried to focus on what could have possibly caused that soul throbbing. But as he expected, it was simply impossible to do so.

The most Cain could do was file this even to the depth back of his mind for later.

"Hm? What is it, brother? What got your attention all of a sudden?" Kali immediately asked after taking one glance at Cain's expression.

That look just told her it wasn't anything good for them.

Hearing her concerns, Cain promptly snapped out of his slight trance. He thought about what to say for a moment and then told her,

"It's….nothing major. I'll tell you about it later, though I can probably guess your reaction already. Anyways, let's just get a library or information center of some sort. From there, we'll take the info we need and study it some random inn."

"Sounds good to me."

Kali relented, but her mind was still intrigued by Cain's previous expression. But she knows there are things better discussed by close doors.

With their destination set, Cain and Kali promptly sped their little stroll.

The sibling duo traversed the streets for a little bit until coming to a stop in front of one store.

This store was named the 'Azure Library.'

The Azure Library was quite large, towering at least twenty stories high into the air.

Just from being particularly close to the Azure Library, a refreshing pulse of Qi energy seeped into Cain and Kali's pores. Without even going inside, the sibling already felt their minds relaxed.

Slightly smiling to themselves, Cain and Kali swiftly entered inside.

'Hoh? Really nice place they got here.' Cain internally remarked, feeling entirely impressed.

The interior of the building was even larger than what it looked from the outside. Just the first floor had the size of a massive auditorium. Everything here was also very finely detailed and split into different sections, making it straightforward for anyone to find what they wanted.

Like all other places in the city, the Azure Library was also bustling with hordes of people.

Taking a look around, Cain and Kali swiftly identified the city's history section. Then, they began trekking over to it to gather everything they needed.
