Nie li had effectively brought back the mountain people and they moved into the city. Of course they would be watched for any kind of power plays or bullies who would effectively be tossed out of the city on their ass. There was a few reasons why I didn't just absorb the city into the kingdom at the first sign of danger. That was to give people the motivation to train and draw out all the little nasties in hiding. This would be good for new city guards in the kingdom and asserting my authority.
The biggest problem was the demon lord who was in hiding which I effectively got rid of and the city lords adopted son. Nie li in the book struggled way to much with those asshats and it simply annoyed the piss outta me.
So now that those guys are out of the way. Since this is my territory I warp glory city right into my kingdom and put them in their own little area.
Of course people notice this shocking change. The cultivation energy here is thousands of times denser. Plants start growing at a crazy rate. People start to feel better. The most shocked would be Nie li.
"What happened?" He asks me in confusion.
I look at him before explaining. "I've moved glory city into my inner world. Honestly I don't even know how you guys lived for so long. Your cultivation standards are shit, your alchemy is shit, you had actual traitors selling off your people. How you guys didn't die off sooner is a miracle."
"Inner world?" He says in confusion.
"Yeah some cultivation systems let you make an inner world. I'll show you one some time there's ones for elements and other things as well you guys just have one involving demonic beasts and elements later on." I toss him a book with different kinds of cultivation methods in it.
"So what are you planning to do now? What about the underworld city?" He asks thumbing through the book.
"It's not like it's going anywhere I mean it's a city and it's been there for who knows how long." I reply with a chuckle.
He nods thinking for a moment.
"Well we can go to the upper sects." I say.
"And how do you plan to get there?" He asks me with a raised eyebrow.
"There's supposed to be some kind of competition to get into the sects being held soon we can participate in that." I tell him.
"And what about the others?"
"I have a school here they can go to it's quite prestigious." I say with a smile.
He just shrugs.
I can sense people coming towards us probably to ask what happened so I pop out of the kingdom and leave Nie li to his fate.
Before I do anything else I use my divine sense to cover the planet. Anything giving off an ancient and overpowering vibe I effectively steal for myself. This scares the shit out of some of the gods on the planet. It scares them even more when their treasures vanish.
I pop off to the location of tons of people camping in some desolate plains. I toss Nie li out on his face with a smirk. "This should be the testing grounds. Wanna check to make sure?" I ask as he grumbles and wipes the dirt off of himself.
"Ah whatever." He walks off and starts talking to people.
He returns a bit later and sure enough the massive cloudy pit in front of us leads to the NetherRealm. This is where the tests are currently being held or will be very soon.
We escape the peanut gallery waiting for the fog to clear and just head right on in to the pit. Usually people wait as the fog here means people get separated easily. This is of course if you don't have powerful divine sense locking onto your teammate. So we just waltz right through. All around us there's all sorts of cultivators looking around for treasures herbs and items. There's even people fighting against a dragon in the distance. Which would have interested us if we were weaker so we just skip any confrontation there and keep walking lower.
However before we can get very far apparently we had caught the attention of someone. They were using some kind of power to scan me an Nie li. I turn to look at the suspect. It's a man but it's not a man. It's a girl in disguise if I remember correctly she was the daughter of the Nether master. Currently she is checking us for laws which we have mastered. Nie li studies a strange primordial law so he has a couple inside of him which shocks her. But when I show her mine it scares her silly. Mine reach into the tens of mastered laws. I throw my voice near her ear. "Little girl snooping around people's cultivation is pretty rude would you like it if I snooped around that time travel seal on your chest?" I ask before I continue walking leaving them slack jawed.
Before we could make it very far the person shouted for us to stop. "Wait!" They quickly rush over. I just look at them. "You know about my seal can you please tell me what it is?" She asks in a pleading voice.
"I told you it's a time travel array." At this Nie li perks up. "Time travel array what do you mean?" He asks eyeing the person.
"I mean someone used their cultivation as a power source to send this person into the future judging by the matching cultivation it would probably be her parents." I tell him. I then poke the person chest and break the array. Breasts pop out and her cultivation skyrockets apparently the array was doing some damage to her and was suppressing her cultivation. I quickly drag Nie li off before she wakes up as I'd rather not get slapped or something.
