Rootless Black City

## History

The Rootless Black City was in all a dilapidated mainland. Among the other regions floating around in the Void, this broken mainland had only a single city, the Rootless Black City. Outside of the Rootless Black City, there was the dangerous Void all around. If one was not careless, then one might end up swallowed by the empty s.p.a.ce.

Precisely because of this, the Rootless Black City had a large population. Although the city itself was huge, every inch within was worth in gold.

All the cultivators that gathered in the Rootless Black City wanted to get out of that place. However, the Void Ship leaving the Rootless Black City would only come once in 10 years. Moreover, it would take a considerable amount of Black Coins to exit the Rootless Black City.

To survive in the Rootless Black City, the only thing to do was to cultivate and go out to find ways to earn Black Coins. As to collecting Black Coins, many people would form teams to leave the Rootless Black City and head into the Void to search for Black Essence Stones. These Black Essence Stones were the only materials used for the manufacture of Black Coins. Only by earning Black Coins would one have the opportunity to leave the Rootless Black City on a Void Ship.

Friend, you've just arrived here, so it's not a surprise that you do not know about the situation in this place. There are only 12 Rest Stops here belonging to 12 different factions. Every day, two to three people travel through the Heaven's Way, before those cultivators finally arrive at the Receiving Heaven's Stone. Today, it is the turn of the Auspicious Star Chamber of Commerce, the Extinguishing Karma Starry Sky Fleet, and the Black City Pill Union for business."

☀n the Rootless Black City, there were many forces of different sizes; however, only 12 of them could actually speak in the Rootless Black City. These handbooks were similar to the Handbook of Survival given to him at the Heaven City's Rest Stop. However, it had slightly more content, along with the area divisions within the Rootless Black City. He also found that the Rootless Black City had five different city districts altogether.

The East City District and South City District was the place of residence for rich cultivators; generally, some powerful cultivators also had a choice to live in these regions. In these regions, the rent or purchase of land for land and Immortal Caves was also the second highest. Ordinary cultivators simply would not be able to afford to live in these regions.

North City District was a place where the middle-cla.s.s cultivators lived, along with some of the rogue cultivators who managed to form their own Void Adventure Squads, who would regularly enter the Void to search for Black Essence Stones. While the West City District was where the most impoverished cultivators lived, and where the Spiritual Qi was the weakest. In general, if the Rootless Black City ended up besieged by Void Beasts, the attacks would always originate from the side of West City District.

At the same time, the Central City District was the centre of the entire Rootless Black City, where the real rulers of the Rootless Black City lived, along with some large-scale Chambers of Commerce, Starry Sky Fleets and others. In this place, the land and Immortal Caves' pricing were even higher; in fact, it was the highest in the entire Rootless Black City. Moreover, just possessing the required Black Coins would not ent.i.tle you to buy property in this place, you also had to maintain a particular status.

☀there are a total of seven Void Islands in between the Rootless Black City and the location of the Blue Essence Stone Mine

"However, there is a rule that if the cultivator, who has just arrived, did not agree to do business with those three factions, then they can enter this place. That way, anyone can choose to take up that business. You can rest a.s.sured that as long as you come to our Heaven City Chamber of Commerce's Rest Stop, they would definitely not come looking for you. This is an ironclad rule in this place.Ok. After you and your friends arrive at the Rootless Black City, you must pay attention to any news regarding the Rootless Black City's Junior City Master Xu Liangzhi. This person cultivates an Extreme Yang oriented cultivation method, which resulted in his s.e.xual appet.i.te growing unmatched. He even harmed numerous foreign female cultivators

His father was Xu Kai, the foremost expert in the Rootless Black City; at the same time, this Xu Kai was also the City Master of the Rootless Black City.

☀That's right; however, things are not what you think. I killed the previous City Master, so I now live in the City Master's Mansion." Ning Cheng knew what Shu Xing was thinking and stated it out directly

The cultivators residing within the City Master's Mansion already knew about the demise of the previous City Master for a long time and had already chosen to flee secretly. No cultivator felt willing enough to stay and fight against Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng also did not decide to pursue those cultivators who escaped and were still escaping from the City Master's Mansion. He knew that these cultivators were just like him, people who had arrived at this location from different Planar Locations. Moreover, if he killed every person from the City Master's Mansion, who would dare to revolt against him at that time?

However, there were still a handful of cultivators a.s.sociated with the City Master's Mansion. The Junior City Master died, while the City Master Xu Kai did not return for many months. The cultivators with even the slightest of mind had already long guessed that the City Master should have met with an accident.

However, these cultivators did not abandon the City Master's Mansion on an excuse; instead, they deliberately took up a.s.signments beforehand and quickly left. Now that Ning Cheng returned the already not-many cultivators staying behind in the City Master's Mansion immediately choose to flee.

At the same time, dozens of powerful cultivators sat in an emergency meeting in another luxurious building within the Rootless Black City

☀The Rootless Black City's new City Master Ning Cheng had united the Heaven City Chamber of Commerce, the Rogue Cultivator Alliance, the Void Adventure Squad, the Void Sect, the Black City Pill Union, the Black City Array Formation Alliance, the Black City Crafting a.s.sociation and other forces. And jointly released a new set of regulations of the Rootless Black City. There was a blanket ban on killings within the Rootless Black City, bullying the newcomers and the rogue cultivators and s.n.a.t.c.hing away female cultivators along with a few other crimes.

Once found guilty, the person and the responsible faction would face the same fate as the Gale Void Alliance, the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce, the Auspicious Star Chamber of Commerce and the Extinguishing Karma Starry Sky Fleet.

☀In just a short time, the entire Rootless Black City and the Receiving Heaven's Stone went through a few significant changes. No longer, could one see any arbitrary bullying of cultivators; one could not even see any arbitrary robbing of the newcomers from the Receiving Heaven's Stone. Also if one had a monstrous hatred between two parties, they had no choice but to wait until they left the Rootless Black City to settle their grievances.

The Receiving Heaven's Stone still had a few Void Ships coming and going. However, the price no longer was 50,000 Black Coins but varied from 10,000 to 30,000. Even the exchange rate of the Black Coins on the Receiving Heaven's Stone remained the same as that of the Rootless Black City. As such, once a new person arrived at the Receiving Heaven's Stone, as long as one possessed 3 million Spirit Stones, they would be able to reach the Rootless Black City safely. In any case, of the cultivators that manage to exit the Heaven's Way and enter the Receiving Heaven's Stone, only a very few could bring out several million Spirit Stones.

The City Master Mansion's Cultivator Army also replaced all the guards patrolling the city districts of the Rootless Black City. Moreover, there were now no blind spots when it came to the patrols. At the same time, if one chose to live in a better location, then they had to pay more taxes. These taxes then exclusively funded the Cultivator Army for guarding and smooth operations within the Rootless Black City.

Although the new regulations touched upon the interests of a few people, a more significant majority of the cultivators also supported it. In fact, more than 90% of the cultivators wholeheartedly endorsed the new regulations promulgated by the City Master's Mansion.

As the cultivator army improved day-by-day, the people in the cultivator army slowly switched on to become cultivators in support of Ning Cheng. At the same time, it also cemented Ning Cheng's status within the Rootless Black City.

## Rules

"Henceforth, I will promulgate a few new rules for the Rootless Black City and Receiving Heaven's Stone. Anyone who violates the rules will face repudiation in accordance. First, from now on, there will not be any Rest Stops on the Receiving Heaven's Stone, rather there would only be a single Rest Stop and another place to exchange Black Coins. The price will remain consistent with that of the Rootless Black City."

"The second one is for the Rootless Black City's Ident.i.ty Jade Cards, each of which will cost 1000 Black Coins from now on. However, no one will have any claim over these Black Coins; instead, it would come in use for the expenses of the Rootless Black City's Cultivator Army. Third, regardless of any cultivator, or any Chamber of Commerce for the matter, indulging in s.n.a.t.c.hing female cultivators, or robbing the newcomers of their money or materials, all of them will face death without amnesty. Anyone who dares to kill within the Rootless Black City, no matter which city district will also face death. The Rootless Black City, instead, will have a Duelling Platform. If anyone has any enmity with others then they can issue their challenge through the Duelling Platform; however, both the sides must agree to it. As for the fourth … And the fifth point…  There are still a few things to perfect before stating them. The City Master's Mansion will publish the complete Legal Manual later……"
