Chapter 184 Centaur Orc
A floating city, incredibly vast, hovered above like the firmament.
White clouds drifted by the city's edge, a gentle breeze whispered by the ear, and the setting sun painted the earth below.
At sunset, Li Qingshan ascended to the Floating City. Witnessing this breathtaking scene, his emotions were deeply stirred.
"Is there really such a city in the Cosmic Battlefield?" Li Qingshan wondered, immensely shaken.
"The Cosmic Battlefield has battles every fifty thousand years. Countless people have come and gone, so it's natural for a city to exist here. But I never expected it to be such a colossal city," answered the Demon Frog from within Li Qingshan's inner universe.
"I'll take a look around," Li Qingshan said as he stood up and walked towards the city. He saw the city gate surrounded by rolling white clouds, reminiscent of the legendary Heavenly Palace.
Before the city gate stood guards, and everyone entering had to pay a fee in points.
Li Qingshan observed carefully. There was no fighting here; everyone entered without disturbing one another. When there were many people, they lined up orderly.
Li Qingshan queued behind a centaur a being with a human upper body and a horse's lower body. The centaur's white fur gleamed like jade, and its upper body was bare and muscular, holding a long spear with an imposing presence.
Li Qingshan observed carefully. This was the first time he had seen the Centaur Clan of the Orc Race. He was very curious.
Perhaps sensing Li Qingshan's gaze, the Centaur Orc turned around and looked at Li Qingshan with a cold gaze.
Li Qingshan smiled and averted his gaze to show his goodwill.
Only then did the Centaur Orc turn around and walk forward. He paid his point and entered the Floating City.
Following closely, Li Qingshan walked up and saw two wooden men.
They were human-like figures made of wood, sitting at the city gate with vivid expressions and clothing. Li Qingshan noticed formation patterns etched on their necks and wrists.
These were wooden figures imbued with life.
"Entry requires 50 points," one of the wooden men said with a smile.
Li Qingshan took out his jade token and handed it to the wooden man. .
"It's my first time here, and I don't know anything. Could you tell me what I can do inside the city?" Li Qingshan asked.
"Paying another 50 points will earn you a guidebook," the wooden man said as he picked up a book.
"Alright." Li Qingshan agreed with a nod, knowing the points weren't earned by him. He didn't care much about spending what wasn't his.
Soon, the wooden man deducted a hundred points and handed the book to Li Qingshan, allowing him to enter the city.
Li Qingshan turned and entered the city, seeing rows of houses, skyscrapers, pavilions, aerial bridges, well-planned streets, bustling shops, and a constant flow of people. The city was lively.
It was a massive city.
There were people of all races here, in various forms. Most had transformed into human shapes, but some, like centaur orcs, retained some of their original features.
The city was filled with noise.
Li Qingshan observed the surroundings carefully, then moved aside to read the guidebook.
The first page of the guidebook had only one sentence.
[Fighting is forbidden in Floating City. Violators will be executed!]
Li Qingshan murmured, "No wonder it's so peaceful."
"It's obvious that only a peerless expert could establish the Floating City in the Cosmic Battlefield and attract so many people here. Only such an expert could suppress threats and set the rules," Li Qingshan said.

He turned to the second page, which detailed what people could do in Floating City.
Mission Hall!
Information Hall!
Trading Hall!
Cultivation Hall!
Various entertainment venues, and more.
In Floating City, as long as you had points and didn't cause trouble, you could live happily.
The guidebook finally mentioned that Floating City opened every fifty thousand years. After fifty thousand years, it would leave the Cosmic Battlefield and enter the Six Equal Universes to resume normal operations.
Li Qingshan was amazed. "Floating City can freely enter and leave the Cosmic Battlefield?"
The Demon Frog and Xia Wuji saw all of this through Li Qingshan's eyes.
"There's no need to be surprised. The Cosmic Battlefield isn't all about fighting. There are also business opportunities. For example, Shi Tian of the Fourth World once made a deal with a merchant and gave up everything to return to the Human World Universe," Hua Yun explained to Li Qingshan.
Li Qingshan nodded. "That makes sense."
"Floating City is quite suitable for us. As long as I earn enough points, everyone can cultivate here peacefully and safely under its protection," Li Qingshan said, his eyes bright with hope.
In Floating City, having points made it the best place for them.
"But you only have 2,000 points, and it costs 50 just to enter. Settling down here won't be easy," Xia Wuji said calmly.
"There is the Mission Hall. We should be able to take on tasks and earn points. I'll check it out," Li Qingshan replied.
"There's also the Information Hall. Once I earn more points, I can inquire about Amitabha," Li Qingshan told Hua Yun.
Hua Yun's eyes lit up, and she nodded eagerly. "I'd love to know how the Buddha is doing."
"Let's check out the Trading Hall. We can buy a courtyard in Floating City, settle down, and cultivate peacefully, reducing risks," Li Qingshan said with a plan in mind. He followed the map in the guidebook to the Trading Hall.

The Trading Hall was prominent in Floating City, located in the southwest. It was a massive, bowl-like structure with large characters on it.
Trading Hall.
There was a sea of people in front of the Trading Hall, with everyone going in and out. Almost everyone who came to Floating City visited this place.
Whether they were here to join the crowd or to take on tasks, there were always many people.
Li Qingshan reached the Trading Hall and followed the crowd inside.
The Trading Hall had four levels, each catering to different ranks.
The first level was for the Venerable realm, and it was the most crowded.
Various texts flashed on the walls of the Trading Hall. Li Qingshan didn't hurry to the second level; he carefully examined the tasks on the first level.
[Gather three Black Lingzhi Mushrooms from Black Lake. 300 points!]
[Hunt Vajra Behemoth. 500 points per beast!]
[Dragon Slaying, inquire face to face, 3,000 points!]
These were all tasks that appeared on every wall. Some of them flashed a few times as soon as they appeared and then disappeared. It was obvious that someone had accepted them.
When Li Qingshan saw these missions, only the 3,000 points made his eyes light up.
"Slaying a dragon requires a face-to-face discussion. It's worth 3,000 points. Is this a mission that can be placed in the Venerable Realm?" Li Qingshan muttered in his heart.
As he pondered, the task flashed and disappeared.
Li Qingshan was surprised to see that someone had taken the task.
He saw the person who had accepted the mission.
It was the Centaur Orc with a spear he had encountered at the city gate!
