The Legendary Man novel Chapter 793

The Legendary Man Chapter 793-The moment Jonathan entered the slums, he felt something amiss about the place.

Regardless of whether it was in Chanaea or West Region, the existence of cultivators had always been secretive. Cultivators were considered a rare breed.

However, in that particular slums, everyone he encountered seemed to have a minimum cultivation level of Precelestial.

Even the elderly with unimposing appearances in their seventies and eighties possessed a light bout of spiritual energy.

As he walked, Jonathan began to think he was imagining things.

It was as if cultivators were the most common type of people in that place.

All of them were staring at Jonathan with sharp gazes akin to hungry wolves choosing their prey.

If Kaga had not led the way and constantly showcased her spiritual energy to fend off these people, Jonathan and Hossom would have already been attacked.

“Kaga, what exactly is this place?” Hossom could not contain his curiosity.

“This is Dellmoor,” Kaga answered casually.

“If we are to calculate based on population density, Dellmoor probably has the highest density of cultivators. As you’ve seen, everyone here of all ages is a cultivator. This phenomenon should be related to the place we’re heading to now.” As Kaga spoke, she brought both of them to the entrance of a bar.

“There’s three of us. We’re premium members,” Kaga shouted to the young girl standing at the entrance while fishing a black card from her pocket.

The young girl took the card and glanced at it quickly. She then turned her head toward the interior of the bar.

“Three regular patrons,” the young girl shouted in the main language of West Region after returning the card to Kaga.

Jonathan glanced at Hossom, who had a bewildered look on his face.

Kaga beckoned them to enter the bar and follow a burly man. “You need not understand the exact situation of this place. Just concentrate on your purchase. As for the low-level cultivators that you saw outside, they’re the result of this exchange center.”

“In the 1920s, someone created a large-scale underground black market here where revealing one’s identity was not required. The goods sold here are mainly sourced via dirty means such as robbing and looting. The founder charges a commission for each transaction to ensure everyone can trade safely at the exchange center. As the number of transactions grew, this unknown exchange center grew in size and reputation too,” Kaga then started to explain the background of this place. “However, some cultivators had difficulties thriving in this place as their goods were not particularly valuable. Thus, they resorted to setting up stalls outside. Violent crimes then became almost a daily affair here, given that the buyers and sellers are crooks in one way or another. Hence, with time, the congregation of cultivators here increased, and the mortals were either killed or driven away. After more than a hundred years of development, this place then became what it is today.”

As Jonathan and Hossom listened to Kaga, they reached an elevator.

After the burly man pressed the button and the elevator door opened, Jonathan abruptly felt a surge of intense spiritual energy.

Hossom’s eyes widened when he saw the interior of the elevator.

The interior was huge; it could comfortably accommodate twenty to thirty standing persons.

The interior of the elevator was decorated with dazzling patterns and carvings.

A mortal would be awed by the intricacies of these patterns, but Jonathan and the rest could sense peculiar lines within the patterns.

An intense spiritual energy was flowing within these lines.

“This is a… portal formation?” Jonathan stepped into the elevator and raised his left hand to touch the lines when Kaga grabbed his wrist.

“Don’t touch it,” Kaga said.

Jonathan looked at Kaga and followed her gaze toward the elevator door, where the burly man stood holding a sword. He looked ready to wield it should Jonathan touch the lines.
