Eternal life begins with saving my clan

Cao Meng's journey to the much-anticipated barren land left her stupefied.

In her mind, she had imagined how beautiful the barren land would be, but as she passed the first line of defense that led to the barren land, the scene before her took her breath away.

In the distance, she saw a bright, endless bridge.

The bridge shone in beautiful multicolors that mesmerized the eyes.

Even though she did not know where the bridge led to, she knew it came from the barren land.

Standing at the bow of the ship that came to pick her up, her heart pounded heavily.

The cool, gentle breeze of the southern sea could not calm it down.

From the soldiers' armor, she knew there was more to the barren land than what met the eye.

In addition, the speed of the ship left her breathless.

It was like she was riding the so-called spirit train.

Slowly, they got closer to the barren land, and the more her panic and nervousness increased.

When they were still miles from the land, she saw the magnificent Black Pagoda.

Just staring at the Black Pagoda made her want to worship it.

Surrounding the Black Pagoda was an aura of holiness and might.

Before it, every human was nothing.

Cao Meng forcefully swallowed the lumps in her throat and averted her gaze slowly.

Before they could sail for another couple of meters, they encountered two military patrolling boats.

They checked the ship and verified their identity before they were allowed to proceed.

Finally, she saw land in the distance. Looking at the somewhat less busy seaport shocked her.

She expected the seaport to be busy, but she was wrong. However, when she got closer to the ships, her jaw dropped to the ground.

Each ship was like a small mountain, floating on water. Moreover, they were all made of metal.

Using metal to create such gigantic ships left her confused.

She expected the ships to sink to the bottom of the sea with how heavy they would become. Once again, she saw how far ahead the barren land was compared to them.

They docked at the VIP port, and she found another team of soldiers already waiting for them.

Their uniforms were deep blue, laced with red stripes at the edges.

"Welcome to the barren land," the team captain said with a light smile.

"Thank you," Cao Meng responded respectfully.

"Please follow me."

Cao Meng took a deep breath and nodded.

Her eyes wandered back and forth, looking at the ordinary people with cultivation strength at the Intermediate and Peak of Body Building realm.

The captain led her to a small carriage, but it was unlike any carriage she had ever seen.

The design was novel with a sleek appearance. She wanted to ask what it was, but managed to refrain herself.

Creak!

One of the soldiers opened the door for her and gestured with his hand for her to get inside.

Looking at the exquisite interior, she sucked in a cold breath and entered slowly.

Taking her seat, she couldn't help but exclaim inwardly, 'What a chair!!'

Sitting elegantly, she looked curiously inside the strange carriage and wondered how it was going to move.

Just as she was wondering how the strange carriage would move, the team captain entered through the front door and pressed a few buttons.

Watching him, she opened her mouth to ask the question that was bothering her mind only to notice they were rising into the sky.

"What is happening?!" she exclaimed.

The captain turned and flashed her a reassuring smile. "My Lady, this is the Spirit Hover Car. It travels by flying."

'Spirit Hover Car.' She widened her eyes and looked at the fast-moving air outside the window.

She took a deep breath to control the shock in her mind and moved closer to the window to watch the outside world.

Outside, there were many spirit hover cars going and coming at great speed.

Looking at the wonders of the barren land, Cao Meng couldn't help but shake her head.

In the distance, she saw a towering wall with various weapons mounted on it.

Guards moved back and forth with pride etched on their faces.

They flew over the wall, and what presented itself before her eyes was a city like no other she had ever seen in her life.

"Is this heaven?" she couldn't help but utter.

"No, My Lady. This is Jade City."

Sky-high buildings made from pure glass, buildings of various shapes and designs.

She saw a man-made waterfall at the center of the city, which took her breath away.

In some parts, she saw Grade-2 and Grade-3 beasts in parks playing with children as if they were ordinary animals.

Watching Cao Meng's stupefied expression, the captain was grinning from ear to ear.

Every barren lander took pride in what they had achieved so far.

Slowly, the Spirit Hover Car approached a mansion like no other in the city.

Looking at the breathtaking palace, Cao Meng felt her heart thumping heavily.

"I-Is that where we're going in?" she asked with a shaky voice.

"Yes, My Lady."

"W-Who lives..." She was confused about what to say next and decided to take a deep breath and keep quiet.

Flying inside the magnificent palace, the Spirit Hover Car landed gently on the ground, and rows of maids came to meet them.

The chief maid opened the door and smiled at the nervous newcomer.

"Welcome to the Jade Palace," she said with a light smile.

"T-Thank you," Cao Meng responded with her chest beating rapidly.

Quickly, they led her into the depths of the palace without anyone uttering a word. The silence was killing Cao Meng inside out.

The wealth and opulence she was witnessing scared her to the brink of losing her consciousness.

Finally, they entered a long hall reeking of royalty and respect.

The maid did not utter a word and retreated quickly, leaving the confused and shocked Cao Meng.

"Come forward," she heard a voice in her ear.

Hmm!

Cao Meng widened her eyes in shock when she noticed a person sitting on a throne at the far end.

With slow, steady steps, she strode forward, ready to confront the person with all the courage she could summon.

However, when she was only a couple of meters from the throne, what she saw left her speechless.

The previous courage she had managed to gather disappeared into thin air under the heavenly beauty before her.
