Chapter 763 (Magnificent and Vast)
Mu Ran returned to the carriage, feeling calm as she rested quietly without saying a word.
Tang Wei sighed inwardly, thinking that Cang Konghong still hadn’t fully recovered from his past traumas. He probably still had feelings for Yue Hua after all these years. After all, it was an emotional connection that spanned over tens of thousands of years, and it couldn’t be easily severed.
But no matter what, Yue Hua was now a married woman, and she was Lie Gu’s wife.
Over the next few days, it seemed that Wei Chang accelerated the pace. Cang Konghong was truly frustrating; they had initially planned to stay on the road for a few more days, but he seemed indifferent to it all. They sped ahead at full speed.
Unaware of the truth, Cang Konghong found the speed comfortable. As they headed north, the weather became colder, and snowflakes began to appear. Soon, they were surrounded by vast expanses of white. While the southern regions of Sapphire Continent were not cold enough for snow, the northern parts experienced snow for half the year, especially in the location of the Voidless Empire. [Conguo changed to Sapphire, Patreon’s choice]
The endless snowy scenery was magnificent. Occasionally, pedestrians appeared on the road, mostly honest villagers. Upon seeing the luxurious carriage, they would be surprised at first and then kneel in the snow until the carriage disappeared, leaving their pants wet with snow.
This was the norm on the Sapphire Continent.
After more than ten days of bumping along, they were getting close to the Voidless Empire. Mu Ran drew back the carriage curtain and observed the expressions of passersby.
She noticed that everyone had a smile on their face, full of joy and laughter.
If the Voidless Empire were a ghost town, how could there be so many people with such happy expressions? It seemed that this empire was a good place.
She was looking forward to meeting the king.
Suddenly, a commotion from outside entered the carriage.
“What’s going on?” Mu Ran curiously asked.
“Miss, you’ll know when you come out and see.” Wei Chang smiled slightly. The view from this angle was extremely satisfying; the grandeur of the Voidless Empire surpassed even those of the celestial cities in the Heavenly Venerable Realm.
Mu Ran stepped out of the carriage with curiosity. When she saw the scenery before her, her mouth opened wide in astonishment.
Even though Mu Ran had seen the vastness of the Supreme SPirit Sect, she was still shocked by the sight before her eyes.
The surrounding area was indeed covered in snow, but above the Voidless Empire, it was as if the sky had opened its eyes. Golden sunlight bathed the empire, exuding an aura of majesty and grandeur.
Compared to the Divine Steppes, this place was simply magnificent, while Divine Steppes felt like a run-down small city.
Mu Ran was only looking at the sky, but the magnificent and resplendent city walls were visible. They seemed endless, with towers every hundred zhang. From her distant vantage point, she couldn’t make out the exact height of the city walls, but she could see the palace of the Voidless Empire!
Among all the buildings, the palace stood tallest, emanating a sense of imposing might, warning everyone:
“Prosper under my rule! Oppose me and perish!”
“Miss, we still have to continue our journey and enter the city before nightfall.” Wei Chang said from the side.
“Alright.” Mu Ran, still astonished, returned to the carriage, but she kept gazing at the Voidless Empire outside.
Suddenly, a thought crossed her mind. Even if she led an army to come here, would they stand a chance?
This was not the same as Valoris of the past; this was a brand new nation, the Voidless Empire!
At this moment, Mu Ran began to worry about the Voidless Empire. Would they attack other countries? They seemed very powerful!
What seemed close at first sight was still far away. After about an hour, they finally saw the city walls of the Voidless Empire.
By now, Mu Ran had alighted from the carriage, her shocked expression still not fading. From afar, the city walls appeared normal, but as they got closer…
The city walls were unexpectedly one hundred zhang tall, as if they reached the clouds. Looking to the right, she couldn’t even see the end… How big was this Voidless Empire?
Mu Ran even felt that the materials used for the walls were not ordinary. They faintly emitted a kind of imprint, which was temporarily suppressed. However, if it were to erupt, it could cause significant damage!
If they encounter invaders and attack recklessly without understanding the situation, they will definitely suffer a big loss.
The towering golden city gate, reaching a hundred metres in height, left Mu Ran dumbfounded. The Voidless Empire must be incredibly wealthy. It seemed overly extravagant to have city gates made of gold.
The two characters “Voidless Empire” exuded a strong sense of pressure, forcing everyone to look up. Red flags were hanging on both sides.
When Mu Ran saw the heart symbol on the flags, she chuckled, thinking that the king here must be a good person.
“The changes here are so significant,” Tang Wei exaggeratedly exclaimed from the side.
“Yes,” Wei Chang also chimed in.
Mu Ran observed that there weren’t many people entering the city. “Why are there so few people entering this wonderful place?” she asked.
Suddenly, an elderly woman passing by stopped and smiled at Mu Ran. “Little girl, don’t you know? The Voidless Empire has only recently appeared, and we just received the news. Moreover, the empire has three city gates, and this is the side gate.”
“Side gate??” Mu Ran was surprised.
The old woman nodded. “The main gate is in the direction to our right, and it takes about half an hour to reach it.”
Mu Ran: “…”
Half an hour to reach the main gate, and there’s still a side gate nearby? How long is this city wall?
Indeed, it was very long, and Ye Hua had opened three gates to welcome the residents.
“It’s too huge,” Mu Ran exclaimed in shock.
“Little girl, the Voidless Empire provides us with many benefits. We pay a little money every month, and when we get old, we receive a pension and many other benefits.” The old woman smiled and walked into the splendid Voidless Empire.
It was the first time Mu Ran heard of such a thing—paying a little money and receiving a pension when getting old. It was quite innovative.
The four of them walked to the city’s gates, and Mu Ran scrutinised the guards on both sides.
The strength of a country could be seen from its guards, and the two rows of white-armoured soldiers gave Mu Ran a strong impression.
Their tall and straight figures remained motionless, their tiger-like eyes gazing forward. Even all the white-armoured soldiers breathed in unison; they didn’t seem human.
However, regardless of that, these white-armoured soldiers indicated that the Voidless Empire was very powerful!
They might even surpass Divine Steppes.
Without any obstruction, the four of them entered the city…
But at the entrance, they were stopped, not exactly stopped but asked to fill in some information…
Today, Brittany was on duty here and saw Wei Chang and the others from afar, and she even saw Mu Ran.
In the past month, Mu Ran’s name had become quite popular within the team, and everyone wanted to see what kind of girl Mu Ran was.
Now, Brittany could indeed see her—she was even smaller than he had imagined. Standing next to the tall Cang Konghong, the height difference was too adorable…
